Chapter 528 - 9: Who Do I Look Like?

"To give abstract concepts real, undeniable power..."

"And then extend this concept to every time and space of the past and future."

"Which time and space do you, a Pathfinder, come from? What path do you seek to prove?"

In the chaos of the dream, Li Boyang’s voice echoed throughout the Sea of Alaya Consciousness.

In an instant, the arriving Demon Kings responded to Li Boyang’s call.

"They are my prey, all of you fools get lost!"

With a violent roar, a Demon King with a green face, fangs, red hair, and eight arms stirred the chaos and then materialized from the void.

In the Sea of Alaya Consciousness, this Demon King is one of the supreme rulers.

He is the embodiment of violence and destruction, a symbol of primal instinct and desire.

At the moment this Demon King appeared, even Li Boyang’s true form exhibited a rare, negative desire of fear, highlighting its terrifying nature.

"Confusing the mind? Feeding on Essence Qi to survive?"

Clearly observing the Red-haired Demon King, Li Boyang immediately transformed into a form with a green face, fangs, and red hair.

"Who do I resemble now?"

Both were stirring chaos with their roars, both displaying ferocious postures.

At this moment, Li Boyang’s demeanor was far more like a world-destroying Demon God than the Red-haired Demon King.

This scene not only stunned many Demon Kings but even left the Red-haired Demon King with a look of astonishment.

"How is this possible!?"

"The Celestial Demon has fallen silent, how could you have been born?"

Facing the Red-haired Demon King’s questioning, Li Boyang unexpectedly smiled.

"Your current form comes from me, and yet you dare ask how I was born?"

Li Boyang wasn’t wrong; the Red-haired Demon King’s form was clearly derived from the Red-haired Ghost God that Li Boyang’s true self transformed into.

It is unclear whether it was because the impression Li Boyang left on all beings was too deep,

or because the imprint left by crossing the river of time on the minds of strong individuals across various time and space.

In this Sea of Alaya Consciousness, constructed by the subconscious of all beings, Li Boyang’s Red-haired Ghost God form is the symbol of fear.

The Demon Kings manifested through fear naturally bear a striking resemblance to Li Boyang’s form.

"Hmph! Such an arrogant fellow!"

It is unclear if it was disbelief or pure ignorance.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the Red-haired Demon King looked at Li Boyang and roared with anger, appearing to regard him as a fool.

"I am the embodiment of fear; how dare you, an upstart, be my enemy!"

Before the words even fell, the Red-haired Demon King had already thrown a punch, sending a terrifying aura of fear sweeping in all directions.

In such a scene, Li Boyang was equally unyielding, retaliating with a punch of his own.

Boom!

The clash of their fists surprised and frightened the nearby Demon Kings, causing them to retreat.

After all, they were not as violence-driven as the Red-haired Demon King.

Born from the desires of all beings, these Demon Kings actually prefer to solve problems through non-combative means.

Bewitchment, deception, seduction, trickery...

Incorporeal and formless, they were accustomed to using their own attributes as bait, infiltrating the dreams and minds of all beings.

And then gradually turning them into their incarnations, thus descending into the material world.

"How is this possible!?"

After a brief clash of strength, the Red-haired Demon King quickly realized Li Boyang’s formidable power.

He was one of the first Demon Kings born in the Sea of Alaya Consciousness and, theoretically, should also be one of the strongest Demon Kings.

Especially after the Celestial Demon fell silent, the Red-haired Demon King, relying on his authority over fear, even disregarded the three Witches symbolizing greed, desire, and lust.

However, after the encounter with Li Boyang,

the Red-haired Demon King was horrified to discover that he had fallen into a disadvantage.

The opponent was more adept at harnessing the power of the Sea of Alaya Consciousness, better able to wield the authority symbolizing fear.

"I told you, I am your prototype."

With a kick, the Red-haired Demon King was flipped to the ground, and Li Boyang began spewing flames, enveloping everything around in his domain.

Realizing the dire situation, the Red-haired Demon King tried to flee, only to find that he had lost the ability to become formless.

"How is this possible!?"

For the first time in his life, he experienced what it means to fear.

The Red-haired Demon King roared in anger, then turned his gaze to the little Wang Shu behind Li Boyang.

"Is this a dream?"

"You actually used her dream to trap me?"

The Red-haired Demon King couldn’t comprehend why he, born of dreams, would be trapped by a dream.

Moreover, this was clearly the Great Freedom Heaven, a Sea of Alaya Consciousness composed of countless dreams.

How did the other party make that little girl create such a "Dream within a Dream"?

"Wandering the void, controlling Qi."

"Treading our path, preserving the Spirit and controlling Qi, there is no place in the world that cannot be reached."

It was as though Li Boyang was explaining to the Red-haired Demon King and preaching to little Wang Shu simultaneously.

Li Boyang’s voice was exceptionally clear, even those Demon Kings who were fleeing could hear his voice distinctly.

"You Evil Demons can bewitch minds, feast on human Essence Qi..."

"What you rely on is merely the fact that all beings have distracting thoughts, their minds not unified."

"But to me, Essence, Qi, and Spirit have long been unified; any distractions in my mind will manifest upon the Essence Qi."

"So, since you can use these distracting thoughts to descend into the material world, why can’t I reverse the process?"

As soon as Li Boyang said this, even if the gathered Demon Kings did not want to believe, they had to accept that their world had been invaded by outsiders.

Yes, even the Red-haired Demon King confirmed this.

The outsider manifesting in the form of the Red-haired Ghost God was not a new Demon King naturally birthed by this realm.

He was a Cultivator from the outside world, intending to descend into this world using the Red-haired Demon King.

"Who are you, really?"

This time, the Red-haired Demon King’s voice was no longer agitated but filled with unspeakable confusion.

To be honest, the Red-haired Demon King wasn’t encountering an outsider for the first time; even a Celestial God had been assimilated by him once.

But only this time did the Red-haired Demon King find Li Boyang completely unfathomable.

"I already said, I am your prototype."

"Vishuddha, you embodied fear using my form, and that is your downfall!"

The Red-haired Demon King, or rather Vishuddha, stood stunned as Li Boyang’s large hand reached for his head, unable to move.

"This is the Great Freedom Heaven!"

"As long as the fear of all beings persists, you cannot kill me!"

In the face of such a hopeless situation, Vishuddha could only struggle and let out an indignant roar.

"The Great Freedom Heaven, huh? What an apt name!"

With a slight upward curve of his lips, Li Boyang once again utilized the Divine Power of [Wandering God and Controlling Qi].

"But are you truly indestructible?"

"The unending fear of all beings means the Demon King symbolizing fear will not vanish, this is indeed a fact."

"But who said that Demon King has to be you?"

"Vishuddha can be the Demon King symbolizing ’fear’, why can’t I?"

"No, if it’s just fear, I think that’s far from enough..."
