Chapter 468: I'll give it a try
Yang Haoran's face turned pale because he was also seriously injured, but his injury was not as severe as Ye Zhiqiu's and Bai Xue's.
If he hadn't taken a soul pill before unleashing the Death God Manifestation, his current condition would have been much worse, and he might have had to stop somewhere in the mountains to recover, instead of being able to return to the villa so quickly.
However, Ye Zhiqiu didn't care about any of that at the moment. His mind was completely occupied by the demonic woman, and he didn't even notice Yang Haoran's poor condition. He was running solely on the power of love, or else he would have collapsed long ago and couldn't have persisted until now.
Yang Haoran suppressed the weakness in his body and carefully merged his consciousness into the demonic weapon sword in his hand.
As his consciousness entered the demonic weapon, the world before him suddenly changed.
It was an ocean of flowers, and apart from the red flowers, there was nothing else in this world. At the center of this world, there were two Scarlet Flowers that stood out from the rest.
They were much larger than the other Scarlet Flowers, and their colors were more vibrant, but they had no roots or stems, floating in the air without any wind.
The two Scarlet Flowers emitted faint green lights, and these green lights immediately merged into the world as they were released. With the continuous emission of the green lights, the forms of the two Scarlet Flowers were gradually becoming more and more illusory.
Although the naked eye couldn't detect any changes in the two Scarlet Flowers, Yang Haoran's consciousness could clearly sense it.
The souls of demons are completely different from human souls, and demons themselves are not a homogeneous group.
Demons is a general term, and if you want to be more specific, there are Yao (beasts) and Guai (monsters).
Yao are animals or plants that have cultivated and become spiritual beings, while Guai are inanimate objects that have cultivated and become spiritual beings, such as stones or benches.
Animals have souls before they become spiritual beings, but their spiritual intelligence varies. Some have high spiritual intelligence, while others have low spiritual intelligence.
Plants have dormant souls before they awaken their spiritual intelligence. If they have the opportunity to awaken their spiritual intelligence, their souls will also be revived, and they will have the potential to cultivate and become spiritual beings, but not all plants that awaken their spiritual intelligence can successfully cultivate.
After animals and plants become spiritual beings, their souls, although different from human souls, still belong to the Yin Division. Demon souls are rare, unlike human souls which are more common.
As for animals and plants that have not yet become spiritual beings, their souls will quickly dissipate after death and merge into the forces between Heaven and Earth. This special force that merges into Heaven and Earth will periodically form new souls in the Yin Division, and whether these souls will be reincarnated as humans or continue to be reincarnated as animals and plants depends on the arrangement of the Yin Division.
As for the Guai that have cultivated from inanimate objects, they initially had no souls and no spiritual intelligence. They are the opposite of Yao, who first had spiritual intelligence and then cultivated. The Guai first cultivated and then gained souls and awakened their spiritual intelligence.
Their souls are not from the Yin Division, but are formed by the accumulation of the forces of Heaven and Earth. Although their souls do not come from the Yin Division, their souls still belong to the Yin Division after their death. The latest chapters are uploaded first on M|V|LE3MPYR.
As for their intelligence, it depends on luck, just like their appearance. Compared to Yao, it is much more difficult for Guai to cultivate, and without great opportunities, an inanimate object cannot possibly cultivate. This is why the number of Yao is far greater than the number of Guai.
Regardless of whether they are Yao or Guai, their souls without exception belong to the Yin Division after their death. The Flower Demon in Ye Zhiqiu's demonic weapon is no exception.
However, the situation of this Flower Demon is different. Before her death, she actively merged herself and her soul into Ye Zhiqiu's life-bound demonic weapon. This is a situation that Yang Haoran has never encountered or dealt with before, and he is not sure whether he can successfully condense the Flower Demon's soul into a spiritual being and extract it from the life-bound demonic weapon.
After confirming that the Flower Demon's soul was indeed still within the demonic weapon and finding its exact location, Yang Haoran withdrew his consciousness and opened his eyes.
Seeing Yang Haoran open his eyes, Ye Zhiqiu's expression became excited. He had been carefully observing every move and every slight change in Yang Haoran's expression, not daring to blink, for fear of missing anything.
Therefore, when Yang Haoran opened his eyes, Ye Zhiqiu immediately noticed it. Seeing the anxiety and impatience in Ye Zhiqiu's gaze, Yang Haoran frowned slightly, but after thinking about it, he responded.
"I saw her soul. It is gradually dissipating and merging into your demonic weapon," Yang Haoran said.
"I already know that! What I want to know is whether you can extract her soul from my demonic weapon!" Ye Zhiqiu's emotions were very excited, and his attitude towards Yang Haoran had become a bit unpleasant. Yang Haoran felt uncomfortable about this, but he understood why Ye Zhiqiu was acting this way, so he didn't dwell on it.
"I can't say for sure whether I can extract her soul from your demonic weapon, as I've never done this before. But I can try my best," Yang Haoran said.
"Okay, okay, okay! Just try it! Try it right away!" Ye Zhiqiu didn't even pause to think about it. Hearing that Yang Haoran was willing to try, he immediately urged him to take action, as his mind was completely occupied by the demonic woman.
Yang Haoran originally wanted to take a break and let his spiritual power recover before taking action, as his soul pill inside him had not been fully refined yet. If he gave it some time to fully refine the soul pill, his yin spirit power would definitely be able to recover significantly, and he would be able to act more smoothly.
However, seeing Ye Zhiqiu's emotional state, he gave up on recovering and allowed his body to naturally absorb the pure yin qi released by the soul pill.
"Okay, I can try, but I have to say this upfront, I've never done this kind of thing before, so I don't have much confidence. If I succeed, that's great, but if I don't, I don't want you to put all the responsibility on me." Yang Haoran first nodded at Ye Zhiqiu, then spoke in a deep voice.
"No! I won't blame you! No matter the result, I won't blame you! Please hurry up and take action, any further delay will cause greater harm to her soul!" Ye Zhiqiu quickly responded.
Ye Zhiqiu responded to Yang Haoran without even thinking, and this made Yang Haoran not feel relieved, but rather his brow furrowed even more.
Because Ye Zhiqiu hadn't really thought through the meaning of his words at all. If Yang Haoran really failed, there was a good chance that Ye Zhiqiu would forget what he had just said.
However, Yang Haoran didn't reiterate this issue again, after all, he had already said what he needed to say. If he unfortunately failed, it wouldn't be his fault, and if Ye Zhiqiu didn't understand the situation and tried to blame him, he naturally wouldn't be polite either.
Yang Haoran didn't waste any more words. He activated his yin spirit power and enveloped the demonic weapon longsword in his hand.
The moment the yin spirit power came into contact with the longsword, the sword was illuminated by a green light, rejecting Yang Haoran's yin spirit power.
Demonic weapons can only be activated by a demon hunter's star spiritual power. Other powers not only cannot activate a demon hunter's demonic weapon, but will also be rejected if they approach it.
The current situation was exactly like this. The moment Yang Haoran's yin spirit power touched the longsword, it was immediately rejected.
However, Yang Haoran's intention was not to activate the longsword, but to use his yin spirit power to forcibly extract the demonic woman's soul from within the demonic weapon.
To achieve this, he had to find a way to get his yin spirit power into the interior of the longsword, otherwise he would be unable to extract the demonic woman's soul.
