Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1272 - 232:

True Monarch Pu Du pointed again, and another lotus petal flew out, entering the young man's body.

The separated entity then surged, not only ending its stalemate with the young man but also pressing the young man beneath it, forming control.

The Heart Demon has risen, and its momentum is strong.

True Monarch Pu Du was very satisfied.

However, this satisfaction did not last long, because although the Heart Demon held the advantage, it did not achieve the result of backlash, instead forming a stalemate even with its advantage.

The green lotus originally had twelve petals. From its birth, one was intentionally removed, keeping it incomplete.

Later, due to various unforeseen events, three petals were removed to avoid disaster, leaving eight petals.

Today, three petals have entered this teenager's heart, leaving only five petals in my hand.

If I grant another petal, the Heart Demon will surely complete the backlash; but it would also mean there would only be four petals left in my hand.

Vaguely, the True Monarch began to feel a slight unease.

This type of special existence is more sensitive to inner warnings, but as someone who crosses the Jiang River, destiny is obscured and cannot be deduced, so one can only assume that it's due to removing too many lotus petals, leading to an unstable Buddhist heart.

There's no choice; sometimes what drives you to continue investing is not the current condition but the silence costs you cannot accept.

The True Monarch pointed again, and the fourth lotus petal flew out and entered the young man's body.

In the next moment, the young man was completely pressed to the ground.

Next, there should be backlash and fusion from the Heart Demon.

It also began formally.

However, this fusion did not proceed as the True Monarch intended, but instead, the Heart Demon, whose birth and nourishment were induced by oneself, voluntarily melted and completely merged into the young man's body.

Lying on the ground, Li Zhiyuan clapped his hands and stood up, showing no sign of pain on his face.

The young man looked up at the green lotus in the sky with four petals left, showing regret in his eyes.

If possible, he would certainly hope to fool the remaining four petals, but cannot assume the other party to be a fool. In his earlier estimation, four petals are already the opponent's limit, considering that they originally only had eight petals, and he took half.

True Monarch Pu Du: "You…"

In an instant, the black earth began to crack, and waves of sound came from afar, as though some river overflowed towards both sides, sweeping down.

True Monarch Pu Du looked up at the four lotus petals in the air, then at the young man ahead, and posed the question:

"Why?"

Li Zhiyuan answered: "Because I am the Heart Demon."

Although the young man was quite good at acting, the previous pain wasn't entirely feigned.

The opponent wanted to use the green lotus to strengthen the Heart Demon, but he himself is the Heart Demon, he had been continuously swallowing the supplements the other party sent right to his mouth. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Consuming too much of these supplements at once also caused bloating discomfort and difficult digestion, but fortunately, he ultimately overcame it.

Now, Li Zhiyuan felt his consciousness particularly solid, with his mind exceptionally clear, though the specific effect would need to be meticulously examined and compared afterward.

But at least it could be confirmed that the future self would no longer start a nosebleed from mere cerebral exertion.

True Monarch Pu Du lifted both hands, the sinister hell scene disappeared, and returned again to the previous rural idyll.

"How could you possibly be the Heart Demon?"

After the Heart Demon backlashes against the body, can it leave such a soft and beautiful piece deep in the heart?

Moreover, being a Heart Demon, could one actually clear the heart completely without any traces or flaws?

Li Zhiyuan: "In most people's eyes, they also wouldn't expect you could possibly be that figure."

True Monarch Pu Du clasped his hands again: "Boundless Buddhist Law, lotus returns to its place."

Four lotus-petal marks appeared on the boy's body, as if about to detach from the body, seemingly taking with them whatever was previously absorbed, appearing as if it would be extracted out.

"How could something that's already consumed possibly be spat out again?"

Li Zhiyuan raised his hand, and above, Karmic Fire suddenly rose, burning through the sky, then fell like meteors, scorching everything here into distortion.

The boy did not intend to continue playing positional games with the True Monarch in this Illusion Realm; he only needed to break this Illusion Realm, after which this transaction can be considered finished, with both parties cleared of debts.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded, the Illusion Realm collapsed.

Both people woke up simultaneously, yet the white light still enveloped them, preventing external perception here, and preventing them from perceiving the outside world.

The young man's gaze was bright, not the least bit fatigued, instead more energized.

This feeling far exceeded awakening from a full sleep, for the pool storing his spirit not only widened but was also caringly filled with water.

This was Li Zhiyuan's first time facing a crisis, yet able to invigorate himself through battle.

In contrast, True Monarch Pu Du still maintained the previous posture, hands holding a scroll, reciting Sun Baishen's accusations.

However, at the corner of True Monarch's eyes, blood began to trickle.

After the bout, neither completely crushed nor did both lose; rather, it was ebbing and flowing.

True Monarch Pu Du: "This is my calamity."

Li Zhiyuan: "Blindness is blindness, stop finding excuses for yourself."

The Karmic Fire in the boy's hand continued burning the surrounding white light, but the white light seemed inexhaustible; as much as Li Zhiyuan burned, the True Monarch replenished.

Even though he escaped from the Illusion Realm, the boy still could not escape the hold of the True Monarch, remaining restrained by him.

The only change was that after consuming the white light here, the original brightness inside the hall, elevated earlier, darkened considerably, starting to return to its previous gray hazy black-and-white tone.

True Monarch Pu Du: "After weathering the tribulation, I remain myself, whereas you shall turn to ashes beneath the calamity."
