Chapter 669 — The Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits

"Tyrant Body?"

The Crimson Emperor was greatly shaken and could not help but feel awe, though a trace of loss also stirred in his heart: "A pity I could not directly assimilate his thought just now. Had I assimilated his thought and he became another me, combined with a Tyrant Body, a comeback would not have been impossible..."

The Heavenly Duke said, "It is not because of the Tyrant Body, but because you share one physical body and one soul! The Earth Earl's seal bound him together with the demonic nature and demonic qi, suppressed here. But fundamentally, you are also him — merely with different thought. Therefore the power he can command, you can command as well."

Shen Mu was both shocked and overjoyed. If he could command such immense power, did that not mean he possessed strength equal to Shen Fengqing's?

But how to command it?

"To command this power, you cannot do it by yourself alone."

The Heavenly Duke said, "This requires me and the Crimson Emperor. The Crimson Emperor's thought-consciousness is extraordinarily powerful. He forged three primordial spirits — the Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits. Even if his soul scattered and his spirit dispersed, his consciousness and thought could still exist. It is only that he cannot overcome Shen Fengqing's demonic nature — Shen Fengqing's demonic nature is too heavy. So when the Crimson Emperor tried to assimilate him, he was driven out. Crimson Emperor, transmit your Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits to Shen Mu."

The Crimson Emperor hesitated, then said, "There is no other way now. However, I am only thought-consciousness. After I transmit it to young friend Shen, my memories regarding the Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits will vanish. I must ask young friend Shen to pass this cultivation method on to my clansmen. In those years I hoarded it like a treasured broom and did not transmit it to my people. After my death, this method vanished as well."

Shen Mu said solemnly, "Crimson Emperor, rest assured! I will certainly pass on this method!"

The Crimson Emperor was relieved. He carefully began stripping away his own thought. After a moment, a portion of his thought flowed from his mind and poured into Shen Mu's brow.

This was pure thought-consciousness — his consciousness regarding the Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits, encompassing the cultivation method and his insights. It was equivalent to him directly slicing off his Imperial Throne-level experience and delivering it into Shen Mu's thought!

Though he harbored the intention of seizing Shen Mu's body and turning him into another self to achieve a kind of rebirth, the Heavenly Duke was right there beside them. Under such circumstances, he could not play any tricks.

Shen Mu's mind suddenly gained the cultivation method and cultivation experience of the Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits. His vision and insight were instantly elevated to a terrifying height. To examine this method through the eyes of an Imperial Throne — the delight in his heart could well be imagined!

The Heavenly Duke said, "The Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits can strengthen your thought, but your current thought still cannot contend with Shen Fengqing. This requires me to help you strengthen your spirit."

He smiled. "Though I am merely a clone transformed from a thread of the main body's consciousness and cannot match Shen Fengqing, with the calculated striking the unwary, I can still ambush him and help you reclaim your body. Once you reclaim your body and leave the suspended realm for Xuandu, I will personally add another layer of seal to prevent Shen Fengqing from emerging again."

Shen Mu said excitedly, "After I reclaim my body, will I possess power like his?"

The Heavenly Duke smiled. "That depends on whether you can master the power of Youdu. First cultivate the Immortal Consciousness of the Three Primordial Spirits. Once you have some achievement, we will act and make certain to drag Shen Fengqing back and seal him! By then, we can all escape this place! I only hope that by then, the suspended realm will not have been destroyed by him."

Shen Mu, full of vigor, immediately began cultivating.

The Crimson Emperor glanced at the Heavenly Duke and said in a low voice, "You are deceiving him. He cannot possibly master the power of Youdu. After he obtains that power, he will be infected by Youdu's demonic nature and become another Shen Fengqing — and worse!"

The light in the Heavenly Duke's eyes flickered. He nodded. "Worse than worse. Though Shen Fengqing commits many evils, he is after all only an infant, preferring to solve things with brute force, only resorting to Youdu's divine abilities to take lives when pushed to desperation. But he..."

His white brows and beard drifted upward. He said in a low voice, "Sinister, cunning, treacherous — his speed and capacity for adaptation are a hundred, a thousand times harder to deal with than Shen Fengqing. If he is controlled by demonic nature, the evil he commits will be a hundred, a thousand times that of Shen Fengqing! Shen Fengqing is merely evil, but he is wicked. When wickedness meets demonic nature, it becomes wicked demonic evil. If he employs Youdu's divine abilities..."

He could not help but shudder. He murmured, "At that time, I fear I too would help the Heavenly Court eliminate him. Fortunately, there is still the Earth Earl's seal and the Great Brahma Heaven King Buddha's suppression. So long as Shen Fengqing is dragged back in, he cannot escape."

The Crimson Emperor sighed. "Old ginger is spicier. The Earth Earl's and the old Buddha's seals suppress the demonic nature and demonic qi of Youdu. If Shen Fengqing returns to the suppression, the demonic nature and demonic qi will be suppressed as well. We two can take the opportunity to escape and free ourselves from this place."

The Heavenly Duke smiled. "Precisely. If we were suppressed here, would we not be beaten daily by that havoc-wreaking demon king? This way we kill two birds with one stone! However, at bottom this matter is your fault. Had you not attempted thought-possession, none of this disaster would have occurred!"

The Crimson Emperor sighed. "I did not anticipate this either. Moreover, it was not I who brought him beside my brain — it was that boy, the Crimson Bright Divine Son, who tried to use me to ambush him and trap him in my thought labyrinth..."

Shen Mu cultivated diligently. Meanwhile, in the outer world, the Crimson Bright Divine Son, at the cost of countless deities' lives, finally lured Shen Fengqing into the sky. The Crimson Emperor's three eyes transformed into three suns in the sky, and three eyes transformed into three moons. Sun and moon coursed through the heavens, and many gods and demons climbed onto the suns and moons, activating the formations within the Crimson Emperor's pupils.

Hum—

Rays of incomparably intense light suddenly converged and shot together at the infant who was rampaging and slaughtering!

The sky abruptly dimmed — the light of sun and moon gathered into a single line, leaving no light elsewhere, plunging the world into night.

Boom!

A terrifying tremor surged forth. The giant infant was blasted away, crashing into the earth, tumbling and rolling, smashing mountains into continuous collapse.

"We won..."

The gods and demons in the sky all looked with anxious expressions toward where the infant had fallen. They saw the infant lying by a great river, its head plunged into the water, its rear sticking up, utterly motionless.

"We won!" Cheers rang out across the sky. Countless people celebrated, embraced one another, wept with agitation.

"That was fun."

Suddenly the enormous infant pulled its head from the river, sat up on the ground, and giggled, "So fun! Do it again!"
