Chapter 398: Chapter 36: 72 Marvelous Applications of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect (2/3)

"No!"

It was as if waking up from a nightmare.

Huo Ji, hidden in a nameless place, suddenly let out an angry roar.

At this moment, Huo Ji no longer had the vitality of the past.

His hair was disheveled and dirty, scales were dull, and even his golden fur was matted...

Especially after being attacked from afar by Li Boyang, Huo Ji spat out a mouthful of blood, completely severing the connection with the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect.

This was the result of Huo Ji’s timely reaction.

Otherwise, if those indescribable shadow creatures had found their way here, Huo Ji’s end would be even more tragic than now.

"So... there’s a connection between shadows and souls?"

Looking down at the shadow under his feet that had obviously dimmed, Huo Ji pondered deeply and mumbled.

Huo Ji did not fly into a hysterical rage. Instead, he seriously thought about the pros and cons of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect, and how to avoid similar situations in the future.

After all, Li Boyang’s use of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect didn’t have so many random side effects.

This meant that the path of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect was correct; it was just that he had strayed onto a wrong path.

"Must it be my own shadow?"

"Indeed, the Path of Celestial and Human doesn’t have shortcuts..."

"Or should I say, as a method frequently used by that Celestial Being, the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect couldn’t have such obvious flaws."

Thinking of this, Huo Ji suddenly recalled the glimpse of the Shadow Space earlier.

Due to the psychological shadow left by Li Boyang using the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect to blast Wuzhiqi,

Even to this day, he is still committed to deciphering and replicating the full version of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect.

It is apparent that the shadow space filled with countless monsters is one of the future directions for advancing the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect.

"High-dimensional creatures? Two-dimensional plane?"

Mulling over these incomprehensible terms, Huo Ji gradually fell into deep thought.

Because according to that Celestial Being’s habit, all the answers are actually on the surface of the riddle; it just depends on whether he can understand.

...........................

"You can now reverse invade the main body through the shadow?"

Looking with surprise at the vanished Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect.

Xiluo had no doubt if it were Huo Ji’s own shadow here earlier, he would surely have become Li Boyang’s puppet.

Even so, actively disconnecting from the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect must have caused Huo Ji massive damage.

"That guy just likes taking shortcuts..."

"A normal Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect isn’t so easy to invade."

Gently shaking his head, Li Boyang immediately saw what Xiluo was thinking.

Unfortunately, just as Li Boyang could see through Xiluo’s thoughts, she could also spot the loopholes in his words.

"Just not so easy, not impossible, right?"

Rolling her eyes directly, Xiluo always felt there seemed to be some misunderstanding in Li Boyang’s perception of her.

—Do I seem like Li Jingshu, the type of kid who gets something they like and has to show off and cause trouble?

Though she complained like this, deep down, Xiluo felt that Li Boyang’s development of the abilities of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect had reached an unfathomable level.

In Li Boyang’s current system of abilities, the strength of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect doesn’t even rank in the top tier.

Xiluo sometimes even felt that the original intention of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect’s creation might have been purely to bear Nai Fu’s curse.

However, as time went by, the application of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect in functionality and versatility gradually exceeded her understanding and imagination.

Firstly, as one incarnation of Li Boyang, the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect can temporarily carry his will and thoughts.

Then, as the embodiment of Evil Qi curse, the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect’s combat ability was comparable to ordinary Gods.

Next was the low-dimensional shadow space, playing the role of daily items and a warehouse, storing materials and things Li Boyang needed daily.

Finally, the plasticity of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect itself, capable of transforming into various wonderful mechanical structures, achieving nearly unbelievable zero error.

But all these functions are just those visible to outsiders and understood as practical functions.

In fact, as the God closest to Li Boyang, Xiluo knew better than those outsiders about his development and utilization of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect.

For example, those [Nuo God Masks] often worn by the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspects.

They are not simple decorations but products combining low-dimensional entities and Proverb Talismans.

Theoretically, if Li Boyang wishes, anyone wearing those [Nuo God Masks] can temporarily possess the power of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect.

The initial purpose of Li Boyang developing this ability was actually to grant the Mountain People the ability to protect themselves.

Unfortunately, for reasons unknown,

Li Boyang ultimately did not spread these [Nuo God Masks] on a large scale.

Instead, through promoting the Path of Celestial and Human, he truly endowed the Mountain People with the spirit and ability of self-sufficiency and independence.

But this doesn’t mean Li Boyang gave up on the deep development of the [Nuo God Masks].

On the contrary, Xiluo often saw Li Boyang transforming the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect into various strange shapes, granting it various bizarre abilities.

—The housework-specialized Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect with eight arms and a "housework specialization" ability.

—The tool-type Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect entirely instrumentalized, born solely for Artifact Refining and Alchemy.

—The regeneration-type Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect, specially for Li Jingshu’s training, enhancing immortality and dodge ability.

—The biomimetic-type Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect that can simulate various complex biological structures, mostly playing the role of a "white rat."

—The educational-type Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect with multiple external brains, proficient in 108 languages and texts, possessing a remarkable learning ability.

It can be said, aside from not developing towards aggression and combat capability, the subsequent Shadow Evil Dharma Aspects developed by Li Boyang are worthy of being called "all-around."

The key is, once it’s determined these Shadow Evil Dharma Aspects’ functions are indeed very practical,

Li Boyang would use Proverb Talismans to solidify them, turning them into commonly used forms with independent [Nuo God Masks].

In this way, whenever Li Boyang needed, he wouldn’t have to reconstruct those Shadow Evil Dharma Aspects temporarily.

He just needed to summon the corresponding [Nuo God Mask] from the shadow space.

In Li Boyang’s hands, these Shadow Evil Dharma Aspects, clearly possessing strong aggression and destructive power, seemed qualified only to become handymen.

But it cannot be denied that it is precisely because of this strong versatility of the Shadow Evil Dharma Aspect,

that made the lazy and enjoyment-preferring Xiluo unable to forget them, also longing for similar handymen and servants.
