Yang Haoran's face turned pale because he had also sustained severe injuries; it was just that his wounds were less grievous compared to Ye Zhiqiu's and Bai Xue's.
If he hadn't consumed a Soul Pill before manifesting his Death God's Law Aspect, his condition would undoubtedly be far worse right now. He might still be recuperating on some mountain, certainly not back at the villa this quickly.
However, Ye Zhiqiu wasn't concerned with any of that at the moment. His mind was entirely preoccupied with the female demon. Not only did he fail to notice Yang Haoran's poor state, he couldn't even bring himself to care about his own injuries. He was running purely on the fuel of love, or he would have collapsed long ago and never made it this far.
Yang Haoran suppressed the debilitating weakness surging through his body, then cautiously merged his consciousness with the longsword Demon Weapon he held.
As his consciousness entered the Demon Weapon, the world before him instantly transformed.
It was an ocean of flowers. The entire world, save for countless small red blossoms, contained nothing else. At the very heart of this world, two red flowers stood out.
They were significantly larger and more vibrant than the other red flowers, yet they possessed no stems, floating in mid-air and swaying without a breeze.
The two red flowers emitted faint green light, which, upon emanating, immediately dissolved into this world. As the green light continuously dispersed, the forms of these two red flowers gradually grew more ethereal.
The female demon was originally a flower demon, and these two distinct red flowers were her Hún soul and Pò soul. With her Hún and Pò souls separated, this was her current state.
The souls of demons and monsters are entirely different from human souls, and even within the category of demon-monsters, they are not all alike.
"Demon-monster" is merely a general term; to be precise, demons are demons, and monsters are monsters.
Demons are sentient beings cultivated from animals or plants, whereas monsters are sentient beings cultivated from inanimate objects. Here, "inanimate objects" refers to things utterly devoid of life, such as stones, benches, and the like.
Before animals become demons, they all possess souls. It's just that their intelligence levels vary; some animals have high intelligence, while others have low intelligence.
As for plants, their souls remain dormant until they awaken their sentience. If they encounter a fortunate opportunity to successfully awaken their sentience, then their souls will also awaken. This category of plants gains the conditions necessary to become demons, though whether they ultimately succeed in cultivation depends on their individual fortune; not all plants that awaken sentience can achieve demonhood.
After animals and plants become demons, their souls, though different from human souls, still fall under the jurisdiction of the Underworld Office. It's just that the souls of demons and monsters are rarely seen, unlike human souls, which are common.
As for animals and plants that haven't yet become demons, their souls quickly dissipate after death, transforming into a special energy that merges with the heavens and earth. This special energy, after merging with the heavens and earth, will form entirely new souls in the Underworld Office at regular intervals. Whether these souls reincarnate as humans or continue to reincarnate as animals and plants depends on the arrangements of the Underworld Office.
As for monsters, which are inanimate objects that cultivate into sentient beings, they initially possess no souls and no intelligence. Unlike demons, who first gain intelligence and then cultivate into demons, monsters are the exact opposite: they first become sentient, then acquire souls, and then awaken their intelligence.
Their souls do not originate from the Underworld Office but are formed from the condensation of heavenly and earthly energies. Although their souls do not come from the Underworld Office, they still fall under its jurisdiction after their death.
As for their intelligence, whether it's high or low is entirely a matter of luck, just like their appearances.
In comparison, it's far more difficult for a monster to achieve sentience than a demon. Without an immense stroke of luck, an inanimate object simply cannot become sentient. This is also why the number of demons far exceeds the number of monsters.
Regardless of whether they are demons or monsters, once they die, their souls, without exception, all fall under the jurisdiction of the Underworld Office. This flower demon is naturally no exception.
However, the situation with this flower demon inside Ye Zhiqiu's Demon Weapon is different. Before her death, she willingly integrated herself into Ye Zhiqiu's Lifebound Demon Armament, her soul included. Yang Haoran had never encountered or dealt with such a situation before. He couldn't be certain if he could successfully condense the flower demon's soul into a spirit and extract it from the Lifebound Demon Armament, as he had very little confidence.
After confirming that the flower demon's soul was indeed still within the Demon Weapon and pinpointing its exact location, Yang Haoran withdrew his consciousness and opened his eyes.
Watching Yang Haoran open his eyes, Ye Zhiqiu's expression immediately grew agitated. He had been meticulously observing Yang Haoran's every movement, not even missing the slightest change in his expression, his eyes refusing to blink, afraid he might miss something.
Therefore, the moment Yang Haoran opened his eyes, Ye Zhiqiu noticed it instantly.
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's agitated face and the palpable apprehension in his gaze, Yang Haoran frowned slightly, then spoke after a moment of thought.
"I saw her soul," Yang Haoran began. "Her soul is gradually dissipating, merging into this Demon Weapon of yours."
"You don't need to tell me that; I already know! " Ye Zhiqiu interjected. "What I want to know now is whether you can extract her soul from my Demon Weapon!"
Ye Zhiqiu's emotions were highly agitated, which made his attitude towards Yang Haoran somewhat rude. Yang Haoran felt a flicker of discomfort, but knowing why Ye Zhiqiu had become this way, he didn't dwell on the matter.
"Whether I can extract her soul from your Demon Weapon, I can't say for sure," Yang Haoran replied. "I've never done anything like this before. However, I can try my best."
"Good, good, good! Try it quickly! Please, try it quickly!"
Ye Zhiqiu was oblivious to his own change in demeanor at that moment, as his mind was entirely consumed by the female demon, leaving no room for anything else. Hearing Yang Haoran say he needed to try to know if it would succeed, he didn't even think twice, immediately urging Yang Haoran to act.
Yang Haoran had originally intended to rest for a bit, allowing his Demon Power to recover somewhat before making a move. After all, the Soul Pill he had consumed hadn't been fully refined within his body yet. If he were given some time to fully refine the Soul Pill, his Spirit Power would undoubtedly recover considerably, and he would be able to act more smoothly.
However, seeing Ye Zhiqiu's agitated state, he still abandoned the idea of resting, allowing his body to naturally absorb the Pure Yin Qi released by the Soul Pill.
"All right, I can give it a try," Yang Haoran said, nodding to Ye Zhiqiu before speaking in a deep voice. "But I must make one thing clear: I've never done this before, so I don't have much confidence. If I succeed, that's ideal. If I don't, I don't want you to place all the blame on me."
"No! I won't blame you! No matter the outcome, I won't blame you! Please, hurry and act; any further delay will cause greater harm to her soul! " Ye Zhiqiu quickly responded.
Ye Zhiqiu answered Yang Haoran without a moment's hesitation. Far from feeling relieved, Yang Haoran's brow furrowed even deeper.
Because Ye Zhiqiu hadn't properly considered the implications of his own words. If he truly failed, Ye Zhiqiu might very well forget what he was saying in this very moment.
Nevertheless, Yang Haoran didn't repeatedly emphasize the issue. He had already said what needed to be said. If, by some misfortune, he genuinely failed, it wouldn't be his fault. And if Ye Zhiqiu, lacking reason, tried to throw his weight around, Yang Haoran naturally wouldn't be polite either.
Yang Haoran wasted no more words. He circulated the Spirit Power within his body, then enveloped the longsword Demon Weapon in his hand.
The moment his Spirit Power made contact with the longsword, a green light flared on the blade, repelling Yang Haoran's Spirit Power.
Demon Weapons can only be activated by a Demon Hunter's Star Spirit Power. Other forms of power not only cannot activate a Demon Hunter's Demon Weapon, but even approaching it will result in repulsion by the Demon Weapon.
Such was the current situation: the moment Yang Haoran's Spirit Power touched the longsword, it was immediately repelled by the blade.
However, Yang Haoran's intention was not to activate the longsword he held. He simply wished to use his Spirit Power to forcibly extract the female demon's soul from within the Demon Weapon.
To achieve this, he first had to find a way to get his Spirit Power inside the longsword. Otherwise, he would be utterly unable to extract the female demon's soul. Under the Moonlight Night God
