Those time travelers that year

Seeing that Xia Er had easily withstood the Blazing Fire and the Fiery Earth, Fuxi solemnly turned the Ten Directions Annihilation in his hand. The Thunder hexagram transformed into a boundless sea of ​​thunder, with countless bolts of lightning crisscrossing and roaring towards Xia Er. The Mountain hexagram transformed into the Kunlun Prison, absorbing the essence of earth and transforming into a colossal mountain, crashing down on Xia Er like Mount Tai. The Wind hexagram transformed into the Qiankun Wind, creating a whirlwind of storms that divided and strangled him.

Faced with Fuxi's relentless attacks, Xia Er neither dodged nor evaded, simply raising his barrier and focusing solely on defense, enduring the thunderbolts, the Kunlun Severing Prison, and the Qiankun Xun Wind. Gradually, Fuxi sensed something amiss. His eyes narrowed, and he quickly changed his attack. His Ten Directions Annihilation technique began drawing upon the energy of the Nine Heavens from the world behind him, drawing upon the divine thunder of the Nine Heavens. The Kun trigram arose, the earth shifted, and the stars moved, unleashing a furious barrage of thunder. This was a heavenly tribulation thunderbolt even more powerful than the thunderbolts; even ordinary immortals in the celestial realm, those with weaker strength, would be annihilated by this attack.

However, as the divine lightning from the heavens struck down, Xia Er merely smiled. Then, the divine lightning was directly drawn away by another force in mid-air. Not far from Fuxi, a black singularity was continuously drawing the divine lightning into it.

“Unfortunately, Great God Fuxi, you are a little too late.” Xia Er sighed. “Then the remaining matters… shall be discussed and handled by my true form and you!” With that, Xia Er closed his eyes, then opened them. In his originally dark golden pupils, a twilight-colored flame shone, and his originally silver-white hair was directly dyed black.

Transcending the distance between worlds, Ciel's true form finally projected his consciousness over.

"Black Hole!" Xia Er, projecting his own consciousness, glanced at the wary Fuxi, then pressed down with his hand, unleashing his own energy to distort the space in front of him, creating a black dot much larger than the black singularity that had previously absorbed the divine lightning of the Nine Heavens. Immediately afterward, this black dot, under Xia Er's control, crashed directly down towards Fuxi.

Faced with the crashing artificial black hole, Fuxi's expression changed drastically. He quickly raised the Ten Directions Annihilation spell high, which transformed into the Qian hexagram and emitted a powerful red light, like a blazing sun rising in the east, which collided with the crashing artificial black hole.

However, although the Qian hexagram's "Eternal Qian" technique managed to withstand the impact of the artificial black hole, it couldn't stop the oncoming sword light. This sword light, filled with destructive fire, struck Xia Er, whose main consciousness had been projected there. Xia Er drew the flaming sword Leivatin with a wave of his hand and then unleashed a Star-Destroying Slash directly at Fuxi, who was desperately resisting the black hole by evolving the Qian hexagram's "Eternal Qian."

This is no longer the world of divine weapons, so it is no longer bound by the rules of this world. In fact, it can be said that because Xia Er is an evil god, the power he can unleash in the rootless starry sky between these worlds is even greater. On the contrary, Fuxi's strength has even been weakened after leaving his homeland to fight.

Therefore, when this Star Destroyer Slash came down, Fuxi no longer had the ability to resist it.

Just as the sword light was about to shatter Fuxi's primordial spirit, a bright green light surged from behind Fuxi and then split into nine different colors and properties of power, which manifested in front of Fuxi as nine strange phenomena: white clouds and smoke, rose-colored clouds, earthen Kunlun, green ice and snow, purple star river, dark chaos, indigo sea, golden dawn, and blood-red sky.

These strange phenomena overlapped and merged again, eventually evolving into a new universe, intercepting and incorporating the Star Destroyer Slash that Xia Er had unleashed. They continuously generated illusory planets to block the sword light, allowing it to shatter the galaxy until the sword light's energy was completely extinguished.

Xia Er, who had projected his true consciousness here, was slightly taken aback. Then, from the information transmitted by his clone, he understood the cause and effect of everything. He looked at the last primordial spirit and demonic energy of the Primordial Demon, which was bound by chains in his hand, and then at the cosmic starry sky that had just annihilated his Star-Destroying Slash, which had re-divided into nine different types of energy and returned to its original form as azure light. And from within the azure light, a goddess with a human body and a snake tail appeared.

"So that's how it is!" Charles said irresponsibly. "I'm sorry, my clone has caused you all a lot of trouble... But I'm sorry, you two, I don't want to waste the food that we finally found."

"As for your planned six incarnations of gods and demons, I think it ends here!" With that, Xia Er tossed the sealed Primordial Heavenly Demon's primordial spirit into the dark sun. "Or do you want to continue fighting me?!"

Of course, this action left Fuxi and the goddess who had just appeared with incredibly grim expressions. Fuxi, in particular, was seething with rage, gripping the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword and preparing to charge forward again to gather his battle power. However, at this moment, the goddess with a human body and a snake tail suddenly changed her expression, quickly waving her hand to stop Fuxi. Then, she unleashed a burst of emerald-green divine light, directly carrying Fuxi's primordial spirit back to their original world.

"Tch! You guys got out of there fast!"

Just so you know, the author is going to Hangzhou tomorrow, so updates... well, we'll see when that happens...

410. Yet another unlucky guy.

Seeing the Primordial Demon who had been scheming for tens of thousands of years decisively abandon his plan and directly retreat with Fuxi's primordial spirit back to the goddess with a human body and a snake tail in that world, Xia Er looked at the stars representing that world with great regret.

"What a pity!" Charles sighed as he projected his true consciousness. With his sigh, the black sun suddenly expanded dozens of times in size, emanating even more spiritual pollution. Strange sounds and songs began to extend and spread from the void. This meant that Charles was mobilizing more and more power; of course, in retrospect, it was indeed a waste.

Yes, what a pity. After receiving all the information from his clone, Xia'er's original plan was to stall Fuxi. While Fuxi intended to buy time and wait for reinforcements, Xia'er was also waiting for this opportunity! His clone, lacking sufficient strength, could only make small-scale, clandestine arrangements to trick the Primordial Demon into coming. After successfully tricking him, it hastily fled.

However, things are different when the main body arrives. This is not some Eastern mythology or fantasy world, so it is impossible for a super entity that can threaten one's safety to appear here. When the main body arrives, its intention is naturally to take down all the gods and demons of this world together.

Unfortunately, Fuxi, blinded by his own involvement, failed to grasp this point and genuinely intended to fight Xia Er to the death. He didn't consider the dire consequences of relying solely on his primordial spirit to contend with Xia Er. In fact, without Nuwa's intervention, that Star Destroyer Slash would have completely shattered Fuxi's primordial spirit. Whether Fuxi's primordial spirit could recover afterward was none of Xia Er's concern. Because at that point, it would be Fuxi's primordial spirit's turn to suffer… After all, this was Fuxi from a high-martial-world setting, not the Fuxi of a mythological world; Xia Er's abilities were more than capable of handling him.

However, in the end, it was just a little short. By that tiny margin, Xia Er could have transferred enough power to forcibly keep Fuxi here. In fact, it could be said that even if other gods and demons from this world appeared one after another, as long as they weren't that Five-Dimensional Celestial Venerable, they would be nothing more than easy prey for Xia Er.

Unfortunately, Nuwa of this world seemed to have seen through everything... Nuwa, who, like Fuxi, only left behind her primordial spirit, went straight for the kill and helped Fuxi intercept the fatal attack. Then, she decisively unleashed divine light, pulling Fuxi directly back to that world.

If Charles still intends to take all the gods of this world with him, then he will have no choice but to personally descend upon that world. Using a clone is one thing—that world doesn't object to clones entering—but if a clone went in now, the only outcome would be a brutal beating. Conversely, if the real body went in, although he could beat them up, he would be met with the world's erratic targeting, hostility, and resistance. It seems like a thankless and arduous endeavor.

"Forget it! I've already made a profit!" Being too greedy could lead to disaster, and he had no intention of following in the footsteps of that certain Yellow-Clad King, constantly failing in various worlds and being dragged into alchemy—that would be too humiliating. Besides, acquiring a Primordial Heavenly Demon was already a huge profit. Even though this Primordial Heavenly Demon had lost its body, most of its primordial spirit, and most of its power, its essence remained extremely high.

Not to mention the demonic abilities derived from him, among which is the genuine Star Tribulation, which involves time.

This is what matters most to Charles.

Just like in the later part of the original storyline, when Nangong Wentian achieved the realm of half-human and half-god, he could use the Breath of Earth and the Heart of the Phoenix to create a replica of a god-demon weapon. Moreover, it deeply embodies the essence of piracy in China, perfectly simulating the piracy.

Not to mention, Xia Er was already addicted to piracy. In any case, the fate awaiting the original demon, who had fallen into Xia Er's control, was to have his original power, especially his demonic weapon abilities, gradually stripped away by Xia Er.

The Emperor's hatred's flames of resentment, the Starry Calamity's flow of time, the Guilty Madness's ghostly face and demonic mist, the Unpredictable ability simulation, the Sky-Splitting Slope's doubled rebound attack and enhanced attack power, the Scepter of Sorrow and Wrath's separation of all things, the Void Mirror's invisibility and focusing light, the Obsession Barrier's range power weakened by half, the Demon General's bewitching, infinite vision, and creation of clones.

The supernatural abilities possessed by the celestial and demonic weapons in the world of divine weapons are all manifestations of certain world rules. For example, the supernatural abilities of the ten demonic weapons evolved from the split body of the Primordial Heavenly Demon are so coveted that even Xia Er covets them. The time flow of the Starry Calamity goes without saying; this is something Xia Er absolutely must obtain. The ability simulation of Wu Wang is also very strong. Although it is limited to weapons, the scope of this weapon is extremely broad; any ability of a 'weapon' can be simulated and utilized.

The doubled rebound attack that shatters the heavens and shatters the earth, enhancing attack power, is also a good ability. Compared to Ciel, the abilities of the Mirror of Illusion and the Demon General are much less helpful. However, the ability of the Scepter of Sorrow and Wrath to separate all things, as well as the ability to weaken the range of Obsession Barrier by half, are quite powerful.

Of course, these powers must first be used to perform surgery on the Primordial Demon. After all, only after separating his primordial spirit and remaining demonic energy can these demonic weapons and abilities be extracted.

……

The process of disintegrating the Primordial Heavenly Demon was easy; this guy's demise was truly devastating. He lost a great deal of power, and his primordial spirit was almost shattered. Now, he's imprisoned within the dark sun of Shire's [Lost Paradise of Eden], completely at the mercy of others.

After returning from the world of divine weapons and greeting his sister, Charles entered the world of [Eden's Lost Paradise], arriving before the Primordial Demon, heavily imprisoned within the dark sun. Looking at the listless Primordial Demon, Charles rubbed his chin, feeling that he might have acted somewhat inhumanely. "Do I feel like I went too far?"

“Hmm… the Primordial Heavenly Demon, he should be a demon!” Xia Er slammed his fist on his palm and said seriously, “Of course, if that’s the case, then he’s not human, and he’s not an animal either… Human rights organizations and animal protection associations can’t reach him, he’s an alien! There’s no alien protection association or anything like that…”

"Oh well, you're already so unlucky, why not become even more unlucky?" Xia Er said to the imprisoned Primordial Demon. "...The original plan was to be exonerated and become someone's son, but since that's impossible now, you might as well become my 'food'!"

Clearly, this great demon in the world of divine weapons was unwilling to be treated as 'food'. So even though he was trapped in the sun, he struggled desperately, trying to break the seal with his remaining demonic energy.

Yes, there was a poor guy named Surt who had the same idea before...

411. Food on the plate

The only difference is that the unfortunate fellow named Surte was directly shattered by the bugged Mind Gem, his mind completely destroyed, and his body devoured by the unconscious Sharl. But now, the Primordial Demon still retains a sufficiently clear consciousness… truly befitting of the Primordial Demon, a being separated from the demonic aspect of the Primordial Celestial Lord! Keep in mind, Sharl directly threw this guy into his own world and has been constantly subjecting him to mental corruption.

However, even under these circumstances, the remaining primordial spirit of the Primordial Demon remained incredibly resilient. It even had spare energy to resist the spiritual pollution and erosion while continuously mobilizing its dwindling demonic energy to attack Xia Er's seal.

Not only that, this guy, even in this sealed state and with the high possibility of being devoured, actually intends to corrupt Xia Er in return. That's right, just like when he infected Nuwa with ten demonic beads, thus creating the otherworldly demons, the Primordial Heavenly Demon, though now in a weakened state—his weakness was struck by the self-destruction of the Heavenly Crystal in that battle where divine weapons combined, coupled with Xia Er's pre-planned ambush, directly losing most of his demonic energy and two-thirds of his primordial spirit power—is actually trying to repeat his old trick, intending to infect Xia Er and cause him to also split off a 'otherworldly demon'!

"Heh..." Arriving outside the dark sun, Xia Er looked at the Primordial Heavenly Demon's primordial spirit, which was sealed in the very center and bound by heavy shackles. He sneered at the demon's attempt to use demonic energy to erode his power and cultivate a demon to fight back, saying, "If the 'food' I've already got rebels against me, I'll lose face big time!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable was infected, giving birth to the Primordial Demon. Nuwa was infected by the Primordial Demon's demonic pearl, giving birth to the Otherworldly Demon. It's conceivable that this unique infectious ability is like a kind of mental virus, specifically seeking out the dark side of the infected's heart, using it as a trigger to form a viral cell at the spiritual level. It's equivalent to splitting the primary personality into a secondary personality, and then, based on this secondary personality, giving birth to a new individual.

This kind of mental virus infection is equivalent to a meme or quantum infection, especially the kind that creates a new individual and weakens the infected one—it's incredibly disgusting. Otherwise, why would the Primordial Celestial Venerable have chosen to sacrifice himself to become the Heavenly Net and trap the Primordial Demon? Similarly, Nuwa also sacrificed herself with the Heavenly Crystal Sword, exploding her body to perish together with the alien demon.

However, in Charles's view, this infection has a very significant flaw.

That is, when an infected person is in good condition, in order to make them split off a negative personality and become an independent individual, the infected person must be in a weakened state. Yuanshi Tianzun, leading the alien gods to flee to Earth, was exhausted from both the great battle and the escape, which allowed the Yuanzu Tianmo to be born.

The Otherworldly Demons were born when Nuwa had divided her own body to create the Heavenly Crystal Sword, leaving her exhausted and weak.

In its intact state, this kind of infection and division is simply impossible.

Now, Xia Er is no longer in the exhausted state that Yuanshi Tianzun and Nuwa were in back then, so how could she possibly be infected? Moreover, Yuanshi Tianzun's infection was entirely the work of that Five-Dimensional Heavenly Venerable. As for Nuwa's infection, it stemmed from the ten demonic orbs personally controlled by the Primordial Demon, which happened when the controller was already at his peak.

Now that the Primordial Demon's body is shattered, his primordial spirit is exhausted, and nine out of ten layers of demonic energy have been lost, what can he use to resist?!

"Disposal begins!" Extending his right hand towards the bound Primordial Demon, Xia Er gripped it tightly. The chains binding the Primordial Demon immediately tightened, taut and straight. "First, a visual dissection, representing the Demon General, the Demon Eye..."

Roar! No...

A voice filled with resentment, pain, and anger pierced through the seal and resounded forth. The surging demonic energy crashed against the seal with thunderous booms, and along with the voice transmitted by the Primordial Demon, a portion of the demonic energy transformed into divine sense, which emerged along with the voice of the Primordial Demon, its target being Xia Er.

"Get lost! You're a Primordial Heavenly Demon, not a Great Heavenly Demon, so you can't use Heavenly Demonic Bliss!" Facing the mental suggestions, interference, and memetic contamination brought by the Heavenly Demonic Qi accompanied by his voice, Xia Er remained as relaxed as a spring breeze. "Besides, your voice is awful... Don't you know you're an outdated relic? Even in this state of near-death, you still intend to use old-fashioned methods!?"

Let me tell you what music is—

*Snap!* The right index and middle fingers came together, then snapped together, creating a sharp snap. Immediately following was—

"—I planted a seed, and it finally bore fruit. Today is a great day. I'll pluck a star for you, pull down the moon for you, and let the sun rise for you every day, burning itself like a candle… You are my little apple, I can never love you enough. Your rosy cheeks warm my heart and ignite the fire of my life, fire, fire, fire, fire…"

Upbeat music began to play, echoing throughout the world while being implanted into the mind of the Primordial Demon by Xia Er. Not just one song, but after "Little Apple" ended, it was "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Trend" followed, then the New Year's special "The Most Dazzling Little Apple"—a continuous, uninterrupted performance throughout the day.

While releasing mental pollution, Xia Er intensified his efforts to divide the Demon Eye of the Primordial Demon...

As expected of the Primordial Demon... Xia Er originally estimated that he could separate the Demon Eye in about a day, but unexpectedly, it took a full ten days. This guy in front of him endured the constant mental pollution and relied on his limited power to hold out against Xia Er for quite some time before Xia Er finally managed to forcibly cut the Demon Eye from this guy's origin.

"Truly resilient..." Reaching out, he grasped a Heavenly Demon Eye that had been forcefully pulled out by several thin chains. Xia Er pursed his lips. Back then, Surte had been utterly defeated, unlike this Demon Ancestor, who was still able to hold on and resist. But that was all. If it were at its peak, no, even if it still possessed two or three layers of demonic energy and primordial spirit, Xia Er probably wouldn't be able to violently tear apart the Primordial Heavenly Demon's essence; even imprisoning it would be a hassle.

"But unfortunately, it's already our meal..."

The magic originating from Xia Er himself began to gather and surge into the Eye of the Demon, starting to expel the mark and spiritual imprint of the Primordial Demon. Soon, the Eye of the Demon was continuously compressed, forming a demonic pearl, but it was not the demonic pearl of the Primordial Demon. His demonic energy within it had been completely obliterated, leaving only the Primordial Flame and the Abyss that Xia Er had infused into it.

"Tsk tsk..." After clicking his tongue once, Charles tossed the magic orb directly into his mouth and ate it like candy...

412. Ten Foods

"Tsk tsk, crunchy, tastes like Peking duck!" Smacking his lips, Xia Er commented on the Demon Commander, who represented a portion of the Primordial Heavenly Demon's original power. "...I wonder if Bear Grylls would like this stuff. Hmm, never mind... I'll enjoy it myself." Separating the Demon Orb representing the Demon Commander was equivalent to splitting the Primordial Heavenly Demon's essence and authority. For the Primordial Heavenly Demon, this was a devastating blow, not to mention that this lost essence and authority had already been devoured by Xia Er and could never be regained.

The Demon General, or rather, Kui Shuai, possesses the superpowers of bewitching, clairvoyance, and the ability to create clones. The first two are practically useless to Xia Er, but the third—the numerous clone puppets—does have some use. After Xia Er crunched the demonic orb like candy, it signified that he had completely absorbed its power and made it his own.

This part of the power represents desire, specifically negative emotions such as greed, selfishness, cruelty, and baseness.

"This is also the condition for the birth of the Demon Orb. In other words, the Primordial Heavenly Demon is actually an aggregate of certain negative emotions! Hmm, if that's the case, it makes sense. Why can the Demon Orb only give birth to a demonic weapon through strong negative emotions..." Feeling the superpower that had been stripped away, the power that represented his own desires, Xia Er once again activated his power and began to continue to sever the origin of the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

Roar!!! As always, the process of severing the Primordial Demon's origin and authority was not easy. With the Demon General's power and intelligence severed, the Primordial Demon's resistance became even more intense. Driven by anger, resentment, and other emotions over Xia Er's theft of his power, the Primordial Demon's previously weak spirit and demonic energy suddenly surged.

"Anger and resentment?" Sensing the sudden increase in the Primordial Demon's power, Xia Er revealed an expression of "I knew it." Negative emotions were one of the sources of the Primordial Demon's power; whether from others or his own, they could all be transformed into real power. "...Since you're driven by emotions, then continuing to sever your demonic weapon abilities would be tantamount to completely crippling you, wouldn't it? What a fool, needlessly exposing your weakness!"

With his authority fully unleashed, Xia Er intensified the speed and force of severing the Primordial Demon's essence. This was especially true for the demonic soldiers and their abilities that could fuel the Primordial Demon's power recovery. Without the Demon Commander, the Primordial Demon had essentially lost the negative emotion of desire. Now, relying on rage and hatred to generate new power to resist Xia Er's severing of it undoubtedly revealed a weakness…

Since he's currently driven by anger and hatred, let's just strip him of those emotions.

"Ah!!!!" A painful scream rang out. In the dark sun, amidst the agonizing cries of the imprisoned Primordial Demon, several chains tore open his primordial spirit, pulling out a new demonic pearl.

After extracting the essence of the Primordial Heavenly Demon, the demonic pearl manifested as the phantom of a serrated greatsword. This was Emperor's Hatred, representing the negative emotion of resentment. After the demonic pearl was extracted, the Primordial Heavenly Demon's hatred for Xia Er vanished instantly, and the surging demonic energy and primordial spirit power plummeted, further weakening the Primordial Heavenly Demon's resistance.

"I remember, the origin of Emperor's Hatred is King Zhou, right? King Zhou of the Son of Heaven was also a cheat, I wonder if we can find the Heavenly Demon Art here..." Grabbing the Demon Bead of Emperor's Hatred, Xia Er poured magic power into the bead again, replacing the original Heavenly Demon imprint, and then ate the bead like candy, commenting, "Sichuan Mapo Tofu..."

After losing his resentment, the Primordial Demon's spirit weakened considerably. However, another negative emotion quickly emerged, allowing the weakened Primordial Demon's spirit to regain its strength. This time, it was—sorrow.

“Now it’s sorrow and anger, that’s just right…” After digesting the power of Emperor’s Hatred, and seeing the Primordial Demon God generate a new source of power, Charles sighed, “…My clones have been working themselves to the bone for so long, this meal was a huge profit!”

It took ten days to sever the Demon General's Demon Pearl. It took nine days to sever the Emperor's Hatred Demon Pearl. Next, it took eight days to sever the source of sorrow and anger.

"Decreases sequentially?" Reaching out, Ciel took the magic orb that resembled the phantom of the Scepter of Sorrow and Wrath, processing it as before before, and then continued eating it like candy. "It feels like eating Beans of Flavor from the Harry Potter world, doesn't it? Hmm, tsk tsk... cold chicken feet salad..."

"What's next?" Muttering to himself, Xia Er continued the severing. As the demonic orb of the Scepter of Sorrow and Wrath was separated, the Primordial Demon lost his sorrow and anger, and his entire primordial spirit almost collapsed. But soon, new negative emotions reappeared, barely supporting his primordial spirit and preventing its destruction.

This time it was anxiety. Xia Er had been constantly dividing his essence, which was tantamount to being slowly tortured to death. This time, facing the shadow of death, the primordial demon's spirit developed anxiety.

Seven days later, the demonic pearl of the Starry Calamity was separated. This demonic pearl, which contained the power of time, could be said to be the one that Xia Er coveted the most among all the origins of the Primordial Heavenly Demons, so he naturally devoured it without hesitation.

"Lotus root and pork rib stew..."

The anxiety was consumed, but the primordial demon's spirit remained resilient and did not collapse. Instead, it gave rise to feelings of guilt and madness. Supported by the power derived from these emotions, it continued to endure being torn apart by Xia Er. This time, it lasted six days, confirming Xia Er's prediction of a gradual decrease in power. The demonic orb of guilt and madness was severed and became a new candy once again.

"This time it's chicken stew with mushrooms, hmm, the flavor is a bit too strong, too much salt." After commenting on this, Charles intensified his efforts to continue cutting, now quite curious about what kind of dish would appear next.

After the guilt and madness subsided, jealousy followed. The Primordial Demon was now jealous of Xia Er becoming a predator, jealous of everything he now possessed: freedom, power, dignity, and everything else. Five days later, the Demon Orb of Nothingness was severed, and Xia Er eagerly took a bite of it.

"Oh, oh, oh..." Charles's eyes lit up with excitement. "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! Tsk tsk tsk... Wu Wang's ability is simulation. Hmm, I remember that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall requires more than 10 kinds of raw and auxiliary ingredients to make! This is a steal, a real steal!"

After the jealousy subsided, paranoia followed. Four days later, the magic orb representing obsession was in Ciel's hand, and then he put it in his mouth.

"Ah, ah, ah!!!! This time it's tofu pudding—sweet!"

With the loss of Emperor's Hatred, Starry Calamity, Guilt Madness, Innocence, the Scepter of Sorrow and Wrath, Obsession Barrier, and the Demon General's Demon Pearl, the Primordial Heavenly Demon's primordial spirit has lost seven-tenths of its area. After the obsessive emotions subsided, the emotion that reappeared was—despair!
