Li Yu thoughts returned.
He then focused his mind and entered the [Elemental Spirit Domain] space.
He sat cross-legged on the meadow outside the Ice and Fire Eyes.
Li Yu attention was now on [Dark Demon Spirit Guardian].
The dark orb, which still emitted a cyan-blue glow, shot out from his body and floated in front of him.
Even now, as he looked at the orb, he still felt somewhat dazed.
It was strange—this was an external soul bone that didn't even fuse with his body.
"Hah~"
Shaking his head, Li Yu slightly moved his thoughts and spoke softly, "Dark Demon Spirit, condense!"
The moment he spoke, his soul power was rapidly absorbed by the dark orb!
In just a few breaths, more than half of his soul power had been drained!
It was hard to believe—he had already reached Spirit Saint, yet using just one skill drained so much of his soul power?
Moreover, the orb didn't seem satisfied at all!
He knew that even [Reverse Journey] only required 10% of his soul power per breath!
Why did this [Dark Demon Spirit] consume so much?
Li Yu was confused.
But once he had started, there was no turning back. He grit his teeth and continued injecting soul power.
Soon, after a few more breaths, his soul power was nearly depleted!
And the dark orb still didn't seem satisfied.
In desperation, ten pieces of [Spirit Adornment] detached from his fingernails and flew into the Ice and Fire Eyes.
Under the [Absorption] effect, Li Yu soul power quickly recovered.
It was at this moment that the dark orb seemed to regain some sense and controlled its absorption rate, matching it with the speed of [Spirit Adornment]'s [Absorption].
As a result, Li Yu resentment diminished.
After about three minutes, the dark orb was finally "full."
Then, the transformation began.
Li Yu eagerly watched...
The cyan-blue glow that had originally emanated from the dark orb suddenly retracted, only to shift into six colors!
These were the six attribute powers of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger: Evil, Darkness, Thunder, Wind, Time, and Space.
The six elements mixed together, and they began to form a skeleton centered around the dark orb!
Well…
To say it was a "core," the dark orb was actually located at the head of the skeleton, specifically where the brain would be.
Quickly.
The skeleton was completed.
"Flesh" began to grow, and this…
It resembled the resurrection of the Holy Spirit Cult's leader Li Yu had witnessed.
But fundamentally, it was a bit different.
The Holy Spirit Cult leader had truly grown actual flesh.
However, for the [Dark Demon Spirit], the "flesh" was simply energy being condensed.
After some time—about a quarter of an hour—the "flesh" finally finished forming, but it still hadn't "colored," meaning it lacked "skin."
But...
Li Yu could already sense something strange.
The [Dark Demon Spirit]'s body seemed to resemble his original appearance, but...
Once the "coloring" was complete, his feeling was confirmed.
The [Dark Demon Spirit] was not similar to his original form—it was exactly the same!
The only difference was the eyes.
Within the [Dark Demon Spirit]'s pupils, the six colors shifted, and there was no fixed pattern.
Moreover.
After the condensation was complete, Li Yu felt a sense of complete control over the [Dark Demon Spirit].
Every move the [Dark Demon Spirit] made would need his consent.
However, the [Dark Demon Spirit] possessed an instinct for combat and protecting its master.
The protection came from the relationship between [Dark Demon Spirit Guardian] and Li Yu.
As for the combat instinct, it was largely inherited from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The combat instinct and intelligence of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger were self-evident.
It had been easily defeated by Li Yu because of the elemental suppression and the "bug" effect.
Otherwise, even a typical Title Douluo would not have been able to defeat it.
In the original storyline...
After Tang San reached Title Douluo, even with the Sea God Trident in his hands, he still suffered significant setbacks.
This showed how powerful the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was.
Of course.
This didn't mean that Li Yu was capable of fighting Tang San with the Sea God Trident at that time.
That was a different concept.
Li Yu had relied more on [Elemental Spirits], while Tang San at that time relied more on pure strength.
But...
Now the situation was different.
Of course, there was no point comparing the unknown with what was real now.
Currently, even if there were one hundred Tang Sans, they still wouldn't stand a chance against Li Yu.
After a fleeting thought, Li Yu consciousness merged with the [Dark Demon Spirit].
As the ability information of the [Dark Demon Spirit] flooded into his perception, a flash of excitement appeared in his eyes.
First.
Once the [Dark Demon Spirit] was condensed, it could exist independently.
Even though its level was limited by Li Yu own, it could self-sustain its soul power consumption.
It could absorb soul power to recover.
Next.
The [Dark Demon Spirit]'s abilities were as follows:
Evil Wind Blade
Instant release, creates a black-red wind blade combining Evil and Wind attributes. It also carries corrosive properties.Dark Demon Spirit Guardian
A six-attribute shield, comparable to Xiao Wu Invincible Body, with no discernible difference.Dark Demon Evil Thunder
A mix of Evil, Darkness, Wind, and Thunder attributes in a single thunderstrike. Though less powerful than the [Dark Demon Evil Thunder] summoned by the [Dark Demon Evil God's Torso Bone] skill, it's still very strong.Dark Demon Spirit Judgment
Similar to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's [Life and Death Arena], but within this [Dark Demon Spirit Judgment] field, it boosts the Dark Demon Spirit and suppresses opponents.Dark Demon Devour
Can absorb life force, soul power, and other energies to restore its own consumption. It can also improve its cultivation!
And the key point...
The Dark Demon Spirit's cultivation was limited by Li Yu.
The [Dark Demon Devour] feature, originally meant for no real purpose, could actually be used to benefit Li Yu!
In other words...
It not only restored the [Dark Demon Spirit]'s consumption but could also act as a version of [Spirit Adornment]'s [Absorption] skill.
But, since the [Dark Demon Spirit] was separate from Li Yu, it couldn't send soul power like [Spirit Adornment] did across a distance... In fact, the distance between the [Spirit Adornment] pieces and Li Yu could be ignored.
Therefore, if the [Dark Demon Spirit] wanted to use [Dark Demon Devour] to feed Li Yu, it would have to close the distance and return to Li Yu body.
It was essentially a transport process.
Li Yu had no complaints about this.
After all, the [Dark Demon Spirit] could act independently. All he needed to do was give a little attention, and the [Dark Demon Spirit] could go out and seek opportunities.
In other words...
He could just relax at home while the [Dark Demon Spirit] took care of the training!
"Perfect!"
Li Yu couldn't help but exclaim.
The [Dark Demon Spirit]'s abilities were numerous, and the ones above were just the confirmed skills.
Its mastery over the six elements was also quite versatile.
Its strength should not be underestimated!
"Go work, kid..."
