Chapter 44: Yin Demon Primordial Fetus

The Data Panel began to display information about this Light Orb.

【Yin Demon Primordial Fetus: Originally a primordial fetus created by the natural evolution of Heaven and Earth, capable of evolving into any living creature. Later, due to the infusion of Yin Qi, it transformed into a Yin Demon Primordial Fetus. If the primordial fetus matures, a Weird Evil Demon will emerge from it, possessing infinite potential, capable of throwing a nation into chaos. Current status: lacking Yin Qi, in a weakened state, and has already birthed a faint consciousness.】

Yin Demon Primordial Fetus? Li Heng pondered in his heart.

Is this thing really his fortuitous encounter? He is a proper human being, after all; he has nothing to do with any Weird Evil Demons or murky Yin Qi, and he follows the Great Sun Path.

This Yin Demon Primordial Fetus is simply not suitable for him.

Could it be that he should nurture it to birth, enslave the Weird Evil Demon that emerges, and then make it his aid? Li Heng shook his head, feeling this was unrealistic.

It would be better to just punch it to death; there is Source Power to be earned.

Wait! A flash of inspiration struck Li Heng, and he suddenly thought of a point. Perhaps this thing is suitable to be used as an avatar.

He has the Earth Deity Power Crystal here, as well as the Vast Earth Map, and he was just worrying about finding no use for them. He might be able to use this Yin Demon Primordial Fetus to shape a divine-path avatar.

Let it walk the path of the Earth Deity, and while at it, it can perform Visualization of the Vast Earth and Visualization of the Haohan Dari, allowing the main body to reduce its pressure. After all, the Earth Deity and the Vast Earth are inherently related to Yin Qi and the Yin Fu; it is simply the most suitable choice.

Calculating the time, Meng Lingyun is also on his way here.

He had already emphasized in his letter for Meng Lingyun to bring that portion of the Divine-ization Thought and the method of One Mind Two Uses. It is just right for him to split off a wisp of consciousness to enter and take control of this primordial fetus.

He himself also has the Haohan Dari presiding over his mind, so he is not afraid that the Yin Qi and Magic Qi within this primordial fetus will cause Pollution to him.

Li Heng's eyes lit up, and he felt it was increasingly feasible.

It is just that this Yin Demon Primordial Fetus clearly has consciousness. He must erase this wisp of consciousness before he can enter his own consciousness into it and refine this primordial fetus into an avatar.

He looked at the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus on the altar; although it clearly had consciousness, it had not made a sound until now. It seems it wants to play dead to muddle through? It is quite clever, though.

Li Heng smiled lightly, performed Visualization of the Great Sun to protect his mind, and like a leisurely stroll, slowly walked onto the altar and arrived in front of this Yin Demon Primordial Fetus.

"Do you think you are dead or alive right now?"

He smiled and spoke to this Yin Demon Primordial Fetus.

The Yin Demon Primordial Fetus remained calm and lifeless, as if it were truly a dead object. It was not until Sun True Fire rose on Li Heng's palm, the flames dancing and causing the surrounding air to distort, that it reacted.

At this moment, the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus finally began to tremble.

Immediately, a soul body actually crawled out from this primordial fetus. This soul body was tall and was a middle-aged man with a thick beard, looking quite dignified.

This soul body was stunned upon seeing Li Heng.

"Are you a person from the Demon Suppression Division?"

Li Heng nodded.

"That is perfect; I am the Demon Exorcist Xu Yinghuan."

"Not long ago, I was thrown into this Yin Demon Primordial Fetus by thieves and became a sacrifice within it. However, having practiced soul-cultivation arts while alive, the remaining soul body has been able to hold on until now."

"Hurry back to report to the General Administration and have the Division Chief bring a Spirit Tool that protects the soul. I can still be saved; I can switch to the path of soul cultivation. Go, do not delay."

This Xu Yinghuan said happily and excitedly.

"Oh, if you do not believe me, you can look at that corner to the east. My lost Demon Exorcist Token is there; you can take it back to the General Administration to report and confirm."

Xu Yinghuan said in a deep voice again. This dignified face, coupled with very steady words, made one feel it was very convincing.

Li Heng nodded, "Anything else?"

"Anything else? No, there is nothing! Hurry and report to the General Administration."

Xu Yinghuan appeared very bewildered.

"If there is nothing else, then I will send you on your way."

Li Heng shook his head, and a wisp of Sun True Fire drifted over slowly. The Evil Demon within this Yin Demon Primordial Fetus could not deceive him; after temporarily performing Visualization of the Heavenly Eye of the True Lord of Clear Origin and Wonderful Dao, he could see the thick Magic Qi and Yin Qi around this "Xu Yinghuan".

This is not a soul body that a normal human should have.

Even if one had practiced soul-cultivation arts, it should have been emitting golden light or some other bright and vast aura.

Seeing the Sun True Fire drifting toward him, this Evil Demon's body trembled directly. In his prime, he had been half-dead after being blasted by this thing once.

If he were to be burned again, it would mean his soul would fly away and scatter.

He hurriedly crawled back into this Yin Demon Primordial Fetus, hoping to use the primordial fetus's hard protection to resist this Sun True Fire. It was just a pity that his speed was not faster than the Sun True Fire.

He was directly attached to by the Sun True Fire and caught fire.

Have you ever seen someone on fire? This is it.

Li Heng thought to himself as he watched the Evil Demon before him in extreme pain, rolling on the ground and trying to extinguish the Sun True Fire.

This Evil Demon was also special; the Sun True Fire did not burn him to death directly, causing him to vanish into thin air in an instant, but burned him slowly, gradually consuming his entire body.

However, what was strange was that after being burned once.

This soul body instead became pure, and the Yin Qi and Magic Qi within it were directly burned away. The soul body, which had been relatively solid, became an Illusion, ethereal and drifting without fixity.

What is this? Immortal Fire refining the Yang Spirit?

Li Heng thought strangely.

But then he saw.

The rolling Xu Yinghuan suddenly stood up, his expression becoming relaxed and heroic; he cupped his hands toward Li Heng and spoke with a smile.

"Many thanks to this colleague for helping me find liberation. I have nothing else of value, but I do have a soul-cultivation art; you can take my Token and return to the Bei'an Demon Suppression Division to retrieve it."

"This can also be considered my legacy not being lost to the world."

"By the way, I hope you will instruct my nephew and tell him not to gamble anymore in the future. Without my protection, if he continues to gamble like this, it will only be a dead end."

"At the same time, there is a junior named He Qing at the Sanshan Gathering. I think quite highly of him; I originally wanted to train him for a few more years, but it seems there is no chance now. If possible, I hope you can support him in the future. I take my leave."

As soon as the words fell.

Xu Yinghuan was burned into Emptiness by the Sun True Fire. At the same time, the Evil Demon of the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus was buried with him.

Li Heng was silent for a while and could not help but sigh with emotion.

This Xu Yinghuan was quite an interesting person.

Withdrawing the emotion in his heart, he returned to the matter at hand. He once again used the Identification Function of the Data Panel and found that the "faint consciousness" in the information had changed to "no consciousness".

His heart immediately felt at ease.

It seemed this Origin Fetus no longer had any hidden dangers. He only needed to wait until he could split off a wisp of his mind to inhabit it, evolve it into a complete living being, and turn it into an avatar walking the Earth Deity Path.

Now he only needed to return to the Sanshan Gathering, obtain the method for splitting the spirit and manifesting thoughts—the One Mind Two Uses technique—from Meng Lingyun, and then return here to begin refining the Origin Fetus.

Arriving at the eastern corner, Li Heng picked up the Token left behind by Xu Yinghuan, preparing to leave this place. At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

He felt there was still something else.

Li Heng raised his eyebrows, used his temporary Heavenly Eye from Visualization to scan the entire area, and finally saw a Rune in a hidden corner. This was... a Gathering Yin Rune?

It seemed this was the prototype, not a copy.

He picked up this Gathering Yin Rune, felt the vast Yin Qi within it, and couldn't help but chuckle. As expected, these ten points of Luck, being favored by Luck, were truly useful.

He had almost missed this thing.

However, he did not have an avatar yet. His true self was currently walking the Great Sun Path, upright and bright, so he had no use for this thing. Li Heng thought for a moment and then infused the Rune into the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus.

Let this Rune nourish the Origin Fetus for now. Without blood sacrifices in the short term, it would not be able to give birth to a new consciousness.

Leaving the cave, he casually blocked the entrance with a few large rocks and camouflaged it with some soil. Although this was just an uninhabited deep mountain where local hunters would never venture.

After all, there were many poisonous creatures here; if ten came, all ten would be poisoned to death, and the whole family would end up lying in coffins together.

But since it could be concealed, it was better to be cautious.

He clapped his hands to clear off the dust, and his figure shuttled through the mountain forest like an ape, returning to the Sanshan Gathering.
