Cohabitation with Sword Spirit-Chapter 97 - 81: If This Were a Reincarnation Novel, It Would Definitely Be a Tragic Protagonist and a Messy Ending (Part 2)

Chapter 97: Chapter 81: If This Were a Reincarnation Novel, It Would Definitely Be a Tragic Protagonist and a Messy Ending (Part 2)

He thought that would be the final moment of his life, but unexpectedly, after countless ages, he woke up once again in a world full of naïve beauties.

How wonderful, how wonderful...

In a daze, Mi Yanhanba recalled the early days of the final war, when humanity was retreating continuously, and the rear often relied on novels and painting albums to boost morale. The most popular theme was rebirth and time travel—for example, a young boy reincarnates decades before the Demon Race’s arrival, relying on prophetic advantages to rise powerfully and lead humanity to defeat the Demon Race. At that time, the Demon Generals ridiculed these things while also enjoying them, and Mi Yanhanba realized he seemed to have become the protagonist of one such fantasy novel.

After thousands of years of slumber, waking in a new world surrounded by naïve innocents, rising powerfully with the deep hatred borne by the Demon Race, inheriting the legacy of the Great Demon God Emperor, exterminating humanity, and then becoming the Demon Emperor of the new world... such a beautiful future, just imagining it makes one’s spirit tremble and blood boil.

Of course, no matter how beautiful the future, one must start from the ground up... and now, this beginning can be said to be incredibly smooth, smoother even than those in human fantasy novels.

Upon waking, he was in the most vulnerable period of his life, having lost the tangible Yang Body of his Yin-Yang Body, even the Yin Body was teetering. Even a strong Heaven and Earth Spirit Wind could destroy him—truly weak and fragile.

But immediately, four human cultivators delivered themselves to him, with weak cultivation and being naïve, perfectly to the taste of his weak self—any stronger and he couldn’t takeover their bodies.

And after taking over the body of this cultivator named Li Xiaoyi, new prey delivered itself instantly, powerful to an excessive degree yet equally naïve, offering pure True Essence voluntarily after meeting him, enabling him to easily use the Parasitic Demon Seed.

Thanks to that Parasitic Demon Seed, Mi Yanhanba has now restored over twenty percent of his peak strength. Although he hasn’t yet found a suitable body to rebuild the Yang Body, even just with the incorporeal Yin Body, he can contend directly with these naïve human cultivators—of course, he’d never foolishly confront them directly.

From Li Xiaoyi’s absorbed memories, Mi Yanhanba did not find any knowledge or memories pertaining to the Demon Race, meaning he could fully replicate the early end-of-the-world battles where demon compatriots rose to legend, blending into human society with a seized body, using Parasitic Demon Seeds to continuously consume human cultivators, quickly amassing power, and eventually reigning supreme like a Demon Emperor.

Such development is truly dreamlike. Even in the fantasy novels of human rebirth, rarely is there such an exaggerated start; with the fantasy index too high impacting results... but now, Mi Yanhanba is personally experiencing this dreamlike beginning.

And just as Mi Yanhanba was gradually indulging in thoughts of such a future, suddenly, a creature akin to a dark gaseous mass floated over, letting out some shrill cries.

Mi Yanhanba was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic: "What did you say, more human cultivators have entered? Their strength? Mountain-Overturning Realm? Good, good, good... quickly, invite them in!"

The black mist circled in place, utterly unable to comprehend such an emotionally intricate command.

Mi Yanhanba shook his head: "Stand down; I’ll personally handle the reception."

Two Mountain-Overturning Realm cultivators... most likely tracking down the Parasitic Demon Seed to eliminate demons. After all, no matter how naïve human cultivators are, they should have sensed something was off after being outwitted.

However, this actually plays into his plans. Given the capabilities and insights of these naïve cultivators, they could never imagine how far Mi Yanhanba has recovered. The essence and True Essence delivered through the Parasitic Demon Seed by the Mountain-Overturning cultivators can manifest more powerfully in an Upper-Rank Demon General’s hands than the cultivators themselves. And for a battle-seasoned Demon Race, against two naïve Mountain-Overturning Realm cultivators... in this Underworld, he has over a ninety percent chance of winning, at worst retreating unharmed.

Moments later, Mi Yanhanba had fully adjusted the state of both his physical body and Yin Body, entering a combat-ready state.

The Cyan Robed Sword Cultivator’s body was secretly merged into the rock wall, with human cultivators’ current perceptive capabilities, it would be impossible to detect. Within the body, he had also infused two streams of Demon Burst Energy. Eventually, when this body suddenly springs out from within the rock wall, human cultivators will definitely divert all efforts into defense, and whether defending or counterattacking, it will trigger the Demon Burst flows, making the scene even more chaotic. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Meanwhile, his Yin Body will use this opportunity to insert a mutated Parasitic Demon Seed into the cultivators’ bodies, causing them unimaginable pain!

This set of tactics was almost infallibly effective during the early end-of-the-world battles, as human cultivators rushed like moths to the flame, allowing many demon warriors to feast contently.

It wasn’t until the mid-war that human cultivators finally learned their lessons, and by the late stage became incredibly cunning, using such tactics against the Demon Race in turn, for instance sending not cultivators but fake-concealed prisoner puppets in disguise to rescue, at which point when demon warriors attempted a Yin Body surprise attack amidst the chaos, the trap would suddenly activate, absorbing both the Parasitic Demon Seed and the demon warrior’s Yin Body, refining them into Demon Treasures for dealing with demon warriors, a truly insane countermeasure!

...But in this world full of naïve beauties, who would still understand such advanced tactics?

Mi Yanhanba separated his Yin Body from the physical one, then patiently lay in wait on the other side of the rock wall for the prey to approach.

The Mountain-Overturning Realm cultivators moved quickly, and not long after being alerted by the Demon Essence, Mi Yanhanba perceived the human cultivators’ approach through his initially established Demon Energy network.

Two full True Essence Mountain-Overturning Realm cultivators, less intense than the former Li Fengyun, are just within his current hunting scope. Having fully absorbed these two cultivators will allow him to restore at least eighty percent of his peak strength.

And an eighty percent strength Upper-Rank Demon General is enough to dominate this world known as Xiangzhou!

Then, should he steadily develop using QingCyan Cloud yun City as a base, or directly assault the Saint Sect, thoroughly digest that human righteous leader and replace them? Hahaha, there are simply too many options, causing great difficulty in choosing. Nonetheless, with such a dreamlike start, the resurgence of the Demon Race and the downfall of humanity is the destined outcome.

Poor humans were so frenzied back then; they even summoned the Celestial Divine Sword, forcing His Majesty the Great Demon God Emperor to perish alongside it... yet ultimately, the Demon Race had the last laugh.

Thinking of that Celestial Divine Sword, Mi Yanhanba couldn’t help but shiver all over.

Even though he only witnessed the final moment of the battle between the Divine Sword and the Great Demon God Emperor’s world-ending fight, just that brief moment, the terrifying power of the Divine Sword and the monstrous plight of the Great Demon God Emperor, was sufficient to become an eternal nightmare never to dissipate.

Fortunately, that Divine Sword perished alongside His Majesty the Demon Emperor in the end, or else...

Otherwise, this surviving Demon Race remnant wouldn’t have survived till now, hahahaha!

In silent laughter, those two human cultivators quickly approached the ambush circle, and then... just as they stepped inside, a young human voice resonated.

"Halt, look carefully, ahead is a classic Demon Race trap. At the early stage of the Immortal Demon war, the Demon Race loved to plant seized human bodies as explosives within rock walls, activating them unexpectedly when approached. If you focus too much on this human bomb, you easily become susceptible to an ambush from a hidden Yin Body on the other side; if you spread your attention, you’re easily swept away by the Demon Burst Energy Flow within the human bomb, leaving you helpless."

Mi Yanhanba felt ice-cold all over hearing this, but then, a more terrifying development followed.

"Look over here now, the real demon Yin Body is concealed within the rock. Being completely incorporeal, it’s now staring at me with eyes wide in horror. Oh, it looks kinda familiar, where have I seen it before?"

The same question churned in Mi Yanhanba’s mind—that white-robed human seemed familiar... holy shit!

In the next moment, nightmarish memories resurfaced in his mind.
