40 -36: The Remnant of Daoist Li Huo

What Di Jun could not forget was that this Daoist Li Huo had actually planted a mark on his body.

At that time, Di Jun did not hurry to remove it, but when he was breaking through to the level of Daluo Golden Immortal, as his Origin and the entire body along with the Divine Soul underwent leaps and evolution, the mark left by Daoist Li Huo had already been washed away.

Di Jun thought that Daoist Li Huo would give up at that point, after all, the concept of hunting a Golden Immortal and hunting a Daluo Golden Immortal was quite different.

However, Di Jun did not expect that, during his battle with Wu Tian, this Daoist Li Huo actually directly attached himself onto his body.

Did he really have such a fate with this Daoist Li Huo?

As Di Jun was engaged in battle with Wu Tian at the time, he didn’t dare to be distracted.

Moreover, after Daoist Li Huo attached himself onto Di Jun’s body, he seemed fearful of revealing himself and did not dare to move recklessly.

Therefore, during the battle with Wu Tian, Di Jun did not bother with this Residual Soul of Daoist Li Huo.

Ignoring it did not mean that Di Jun had forgotten about this Residual Soul.

On the contrary, Di Jun had always remembered this incident.

As previously mentioned, in some matters, Di Jun’s savvy wasn’t that great after all.

In fact, Daoist Li Huo also felt aggrieved in his heart.

When he initially went to listen to the Four Ancient Ancestors’ preaching, he discovered that the Origins of two Primordial Spirits called Di Jun and East King were close to his own.

If he could devour these two, his path ahead would surely become much smoother.

Therefore, Daoist Li Huo set his mind to it and planted his own mark on both Di Jun and East King.

After all, as a Daluo Golden Immortal himself, capturing two Golden Immortals was an easy feat.

He had also heard of Di Jun’s performance on the battlefield but considered it an exaggeration.

After all, only those who have ascended from Golden Immortal to Daluo Golden Immortal can truly comprehend how vast the gap between the two realms is.

Although he was equivalent to a support cultivator from the Eastern Primordial and rarely took to the battlefield, he never believed a Golden Immortal could contend with a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Moreover, he had already planned the timing to seize the Origins of these two—during the final battle.

Only in the chaos of the final battle would the deaths of two Golden Immortals be an entirely normal occurrence, with no Life pursuing the matter.

And by then, he could also acquire the fortune of the Daoist way; he had participated in battles before, and for a Daluo Golden Immortal, it was merely a formality.

That final battle would be a case of killing multiple birds with one stone for him.

Daoist Li Huo’s plan was sound, but he underestimated the effect of the Four Ancestors’ sermon.

He also underestimated Di Jun’s strength and the cruelty of the ultimate battle between Daoism and Demonism.

During the process of the Four Ancestors’ preaching, Daoist Li Huo felt one of his marks disappear.

However, Daoist Li Huo didn’t pay it much attention; after all, even if a mere Golden Immortal had removed his mark, they couldn’t escape from the palm of his hand.

Unfortunately, Daoist Li Huo, who rarely participated in warfare, took part in the decisive battle this time.

Not long into the fight, Daoist Li Huo was slain by a Demon Cultivator who was also a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Daoist Li Huo used a Secret Technique to escape with this wisp of a Residual Soul.

And this was under the circumstances that the Demon Ancestor’s Daluo Golden Immortal did not pursue him.

During the escape, he encountered Di Jun, who was in battle with Wu Tian.

Thus, this wisp of his Residual Soul unconsciously entered into Di Jun’s body.

Waiting for the opportunity to body-snatch Di Jun.

Compared to the East King, Daoist Li Huo favored Di Jun, because Di Jun’s potential far exceeded that of the East King.

Unfortunately, until the defeat of the Demon Ancestor, and the end of the fight between Di Jun and Wu Tian, Di Jun had only sustained minor injuries.

Moreover, in such circumstances, with Di Jun’s divine soul intact, and as a fellow Daluo Golden Immortal, how could Daoist Li Huo dare to make a reckless move?

Originally, he was planning to fall into a deep slumber to nurture this wisp of his residual soul, but unfortunately, he was eventually discovered by Di Jun.

And his divine soul had also fallen into Di Jun’s hands.

Di Jun thought of Daoist Li Huo’s previous actions, all of which held malice towards him.

It could be said that both Daoist Li Huo and Wang Shu were considered Di Jun’s seniors.

However, Wang Shu always cared for his juniors, while Daoist Li Huo wanted to devour his juniors, using external forces to propel his own progress.

Thinking this, a cold light appeared in Di Jun’s eyes.

Daoist Li Huo’s residual soul saw this and immediately started to struggle, crying out, “I know my wrongs, spare me, I dare not do it again.”

After all, this was merely Daoist Li Huo’s residual soul, which knew nothing of the pride of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Daoist Li Huo’s cries did not soften Di Jun’s heart.

A surge of Taiyang Fire flowed from Di Jun’s palm, entering Daoist Li Huo’s residual soul.

This Taiyang Fire, compared to the earlier Taiyang Fire, was more restrained and not as violent.

But in terms of power, it was in no way inferior to the tumultuous Taiyang Fire, even stronger.

This was the result of Di Jun’s adjustment of Moonlight on the Taiyin Star, absorbing the moonlight for harmony.

Today’s Taiyang Fire was gentler and more subdued, also easier to control.

Under Di Jun’s manipulation, the Taiyang Fire surged into Daoist Li Huo’s body.

Daoist Li Huo’s wisp of a residual soul let out a piercing scream; the sensation of being roasted by the Taiyang Fire was akin to a fate worse than death.

Di Jun did not immediately vaporize Daoist Li Huo’s residual soul with the Taiyang Fire but instead continuously allowed Daoist Li Huo to feel the pain, slowly destroying his sanity.

Under this torment, Daoist Li Huo’s screams grew softer, and his divine soul turned an orange-red color, resembling a ball of flame even more.

Even after Daoist Li Huo had stopped screaming, Di Jun did not stop, continuing the roasting.

After roasting for some more time, Di Jun confirmed that Daoist Li Huo’s consciousness had completely dissipated.

Di Jun released his palm, and the colorless orange-red divine soul floated motionlessly in the air.

Di Jun waved his hand, and the wisp of divine soul flew straight towards the Fusang Tree.

Seeing this, the Fusang Tree instantly devoured it within its body, even seeming somewhat eager.

This divine soul was a significant nourishment for the Fusang Tree, which was still in an ignorant state.

At the same time, the Fusang Tree extracted the memories from within Daoist Li Huo’s residual soul.

Di Jun, with his spiritual imprint, could view these memories, adding to part of his own experiences.

However, according to Di Jun’s view, although Daoist Li Huo had been immersed in the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal for many years, his strength had not made significant progress, and was even far less than Di Jun’s.

As Daoist Li Huo’s wisp of divine soul was extinguished, far away in Purple Mansion Continent, the East King, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes.

He felt that something was amiss, but unfortunately, after some calculations, he found nothing and fell back into cultivation.

And in a part of the East King’s body unbeknownst to him, a wisp of Daoist Li Huo’s residual soul cursed inwardly, “Di Jun, how dare he?

I must settle this score with him sooner or later!”

The cunning rabbit has three burrows; Daoist Li Huo still had a mark within the East King’s body.
