Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1282 - 233:

The eight lotus petals entered Li Zhiyuan's body, and the power of the green lotus within the lotus platform was fully infused into the body.

"Li Zhiyuan" opened his eyes and stared at Li Zhiyuan standing there.

Li Zhiyuan helplessly shook his head and sighed.

True Monarch Pu Du: "Go, I grant you the opportunity for revenge."

Li Zhiyuan struggled to raise his hand, and Karmic Fire ignited in the once clear sky.

True Monarch Pu Du raised his head, and a white light descended, enveloping the Karmic Fire, preventing the burning sky from breaking the illusion realm, though the originally cloudless sky turned overcast.

"Poof..."

True Monarch Pu Du's figure trembled, looking down in disbelief to find a hand piercing through his body, with intense Karmic Fire burning in the palm.

Li Zhiyuan still stood there, digesting the lotus petals, temporarily unable to make more movements.

True Monarch Pu Du incredulously turned to look at the "Li Zhiyuan" he had just released.

How could it be, as the body, he briefly gained freedom, why not seek vengeance upon the Heart Demon, but instead directly attacked him, so decisively.

No struggle, no hesitation, it was as if he had decided to do this even before stepping out of the door.

True Monarch Pu Du: "Why..."

Why in this world, would there be a body that doesn't kill the Heart Demon?

"Li Zhiyuan" did not answer; his indifferent eyes held no emotion.

Li Zhiyuan answered, with a sense of inevitability: "Because he knows that whether he kills me or I kill him, if the two of us fight, it only gives you the chance to destroy us; he certainly wouldn't be so foolish."

Hearing the last sentence, "Li Zhiyuan" glanced at Li Zhiyuan and then looked away.

When Li Zhiyuan realized True Monarch intended to release his body this time, he knew this would be the outcome.

The body would absolutely take action against the True Monarch.

I want to find a way to destroy the body, and the body wants to erase me, the Heart Demon; this is almost explicit, none are hiding it, nor do they bother with any act of affection or mutual sympathy, for they know they can't deceive each other, yet it remains the internal conflict of the "one person."

True Monarch Pu Du: "Then the Seal..."

Li Zhiyuan: "I didn't place so many seals on him; those seals were applied by himself."

Having obtained a total of eight lotus petals, his soul grew stronger, while the body was unwilling to lag behind, seeking to take advantage of the situation, trying to restore balance.

"Li Zhiyuan" understood his Heart Demon would cooperate with him, and indeed, Li Zhiyuan acted accordingly.

Suppressing the body is not the main conflict now; it's crucial to extract the green lotus entirely as soon as possible to weaken True Monarch Pu Du's state and break the current situation, that's what's urgent.

No need for communication, negotiation, or even discussing the spoils, Li Zhiyuan and his body reached a tacit understanding and enacted this play.

"Li Zhiyuan" further unleashed Karmic Fire in his hand, burning True Monarch Pu Du.

Li Zhiyuan temporarily withdrew the Karmic Fire he used to break through this illusion realm from the sky above, restoring clear skies, blue skies, and white clouds.

Then, still in digestion, Li Zhiyuan slowly squatted down, placing both hands on the ground.

The surroundings distorted and displaced, while True Monarch Pu Du attempted to end this illusion realm returning to reality.

But he found, to his shock, that the illusion only trembled violently, yet remained unbroken, preventing his consciousness from departing.

Because, ahead, Li Zhiyuan squatting on the ground, was reinforcing the illusion, delaying waking from this "dream" as much as possible.

One burning him, the other locking him, with clear division of labor and rhythm.

True Monarch Pu Du felt he witnessed the most absurd scene in the world; could this be the work of the Heart Demon and the body?

Li Zhiyuan: "I'm so full."

"Li Zhiyuan" raised another hand, pointed to the sky, where Feng Shui appeared, assisting further in reinforcing the illusion realm.

At this moment, unable to leave, half of True Monarch Pu Du's body had been burnt away, without the green lotus as a vessel, he was no longer the same as before.

In the real world hall, the white light rapidly withdrew, and darkness formed repression.

Ultimately, True Monarch Pu Du completely dissipated, meaning the consciousness he invested into the depths of Li Zhiyuan's spirit was completely extinguished.

"Li Zhiyuan" clapped his hands, extinguishing the Karmic Fire within them.

Li Zhiyuan stood up, moving slowly, as his belly was bloated to the extreme.

The two Li Zhiyuan stood facing each other, separated by a distance.

Li Zhiyuan did not inquire whether the other was willing to be split like the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and True Monarch Pu Du.

Because it's impossible; what they vie for is the "Li Zhiyuan" identity, their relationship forever relentless, no turning back.

The same matter, Wei Zhengdao has already set an example; he once divided out so many avatars, now Li Zhiyuan is sure, Wei Zhengdao's method ultimately won't work.

"Li Zhiyuan" turned and walked towards that gate.

Li Zhiyuan looked up, intending to leave this illusion realm.

"Li Zhiyuan" suddenly stopped, and said: "You could wait a bit longer, delay a little more."

Li Zhiyuan: "Not waiting."

"Li Zhiyuan": "There's some chance Sun Baishen can help them become stronger."

Li Zhiyuan: "Even if they become stronger, if they are no longer themselves, then it's worthless to me."

"Li Zhiyuan": "Living like this, you're truly exhausted."
