"Speaking of malicious spirits, aren't I a ready-made malicious spirit? It's just that I don't usually harm people … "The ghostly thing chuckled.
"Uh …" Lin Yi was rendered speechless. However, he soon understood what the ghostly thing meant. He asked in surprise, "Senior, what do you mean?"
"A Primordial Spirit! Although we're not inside a living creature like the Half Moon Lake, we're inside a gigantic Primordial Spirit. That's the only explanation, "the ghostly thing said in a firm tone.
"That makes sense!" Lin Yi nodded. First, the ghostly thing's Divine Sense was ineffective. Then, there was the strong resentment in the surroundings. This seemed to be the only explanation. Then, he asked curiously, "What kind of thing can have such a gigantic Primordial Spirit? Can it cover the entire Thunder Burial City? "
Although Lin Yi did not know much about Primordial Spirits, he knew some basic knowledge. For example, a Primordial Spirit would usually maintain its original appearance. Even if it did not, it would only condense into a cloud of ghostly mist like the ghostly thing. Although it was not impossible for it to disperse in all directions, wouldn't that increase the risk of the Primordial Spirit being destroyed?
It was difficult for a Primordial Spirit to exist out of thin air. Even the ghostly thing, the former Azure Dragon, was on the verge of death. Without the support of a physical body, it would be like a tree without roots or water without a source. It would only dissipate bit by bit. However, if the Primordial Spirit was gigantic, it would only speed up the process!
"What's the most common thing in this place?" The ghostly thing asked.
"Since this is Thunder Burial City, it's only natural that the number of dead Thunder Attribute Spirit Beasts is the most …" At this point, Lin Yi suddenly thought of something, and he asked, "Senior, are you saying that this Primordial Spirit is a dead Thunder Attribute Spirit Beast?"
"That's right. Judging from the looks of it, it's not just one or two Primordial Spirits. It's a strange existence that has gathered countless Primordial Spirits of Thunder Attribute Spirit Beasts. This is a Vengeful Spirit Primordial Spirit!" The ghostly thing said with certainty.
"A Vengeful Spirit Primordial Spirit?!" Lin Yi was horrified. An evil primordial spirit that had gathered the resentment of countless thunder attribute spirit beasts … just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
"Hmm, that's the only explanation. Perhaps it was only the soul of a certain Lightning Spirit Beast in the beginning. However, if that's the case, it wouldn't have been able to last long. Thus, it could only devour the souls of other Lightning Spirit Beasts and grow stronger. That's why it became what it is today. It really is a monster." The ghostly thing sighed.
"But if it's just a vengeful spirit, why can it use lightning to strike me?" Lin Yi could not help but wonder. Logically speaking, aside from Spiritual Sense, a Primordial Spirit could not use any offensive or defensive Martial Techniques. Naturally, Lightning was no exception.
"I was also curious about this problem at first, so I didn't think about it. But I just thought that if I can find a temporary host, even if it's just a vengeful spirit, I can use the host's power when he was alive. I can find the corpse of any Thunder Spirit Beast here, and I can use the power of thunder!" the ghostly thing said.
"So that's how it is!" Lin Yi suddenly understood. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly thought of something. With a strange expression, he asked, "If I die, senior, will you do the same?"
"Guess!" The ghostly thing laughed and did not give a direct answer.
"I guess you will …" Lin Yi smiled bitterly. Although they were familiar with each other, he did not dare to flatter the ghostly thing too much. Don't forget that when they first met, this guy had the idea of taking over his body. Once he died, this guy would definitely not sit still and wait for death. It was almost inevitable that it would take over his body. To expect this guy to regard his body as something sacred and inviolable was simply an idiot in the eyes of the ghostly thing.
But then again, Lin Yi did not expect such a thing to happen. If he really died, everything would have nothing to do with him. Being able to let this ghostly thing borrow his body could be considered as a benefit to him. After all, one should not let the goodies flow into one's field.
"Alright, enough nonsense. You know what to do next, right?" The ghostly thing returned to the topic.
"Of course." Lin Yi nodded in a deep voice. Since he had confirmed that this was not a Formation, there was no so-called Formation Eye. There was only one way to leave this place, and that was to find the corpse that the Vengeful Spirit was temporarily residing in and destroy it. There was no other way.
The lingering resentment in the surroundings was getting stronger, which meant that the fourth lightning strike was not far away. Although he had withstood three lightning strikes in a row, Lin Yi still did not have the slightest confidence that he could face the fourth and fifth lightning strikes. This was because he could tell from the Vengeful Spirit's behavior that the stronger the resentment, the stronger the lightning!
Therefore, Lin Yi had to race with the ghostly thing. He had to find the ghostly thing before it launched a stronger attack. Only then would he have a chance of survival. Otherwise, he would definitely die today.
However, it was easier said than done. Putting aside what he should do after finding the ghostly thing, it was extremely difficult to find the corpse that the ghostly thing was residing in.
His vision was blocked, and his Divine Sense was ineffective. He could only search with his feet. Under such circumstances, finding a corpse in Thunder Burial City was easier said than done. It was no different from finding a needle in a haystack!
However, Lin Yi had no other choice. This was the only way. Even if he had to kneel, he could only grit his teeth and crawl. Otherwise, he would die.
After searching for a while, Lin Yi suddenly stopped. There was a white skeleton under his feet. It seemed to belong to some kind of bulky dog-type Spirit Beast, but he was not sure what kind of Spirit Beast it was.
Lin Yi only took a glance at it before continuing to explore. This skeleton could not possibly be the host of the Vengeful Spirit. After all, it had been dead for a long time and had rotted into a pile of bones. Some of the bones even showed signs of weathering. Putting aside the question of whether the Vengeful Spirit could still reside in it, even if it did, it would not be able to move, let alone anything else.
In addition, there was another important reason. The Vengeful Spirit Yuan Shen's strength was largely limited by its host's strength when it was alive. It was impossible for an ordinary thunder-type Spirit Beast to unleash that kind of purple lightning just now. Only the few thunder-type Spirit Beasts that stood at the top had a chance.
As a result, instead of saying that he was looking for a lightning beast's body, it would be more accurate to say that he wasn't looking for a normal lightning beast's body. His target range was very limited, and there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that it would be a lightning eagle or a lightning dragon.
