Chapter 173: Capability
Lex could feel the control of his body lower as the Originator Eye Demon gained some control and awoke from his slumber.
[The stronger this body is, the stronger it will be when I manage to take it over] thought the Eye Demon to himself as he planned to help Lex out this once.
He was also afraid that his host would lose against the demonic cultivation master and have to restart his cycle all over again, so wanted to help strengthen him slightly.
His host had finally developed and adjusted to the system and to find another suitable host, then wait for them to develop, would drive the Eye Demon insane, as he planned to help Lex get past his current hurdle for their mutual benefit.
While he was also looking forwards for any evil or demonic items and or treasures that the demonic cultivation master might be in possession of, which he could take for himself while Lex inevitably used the Third Eye in battle against him.
[Hand over more of the control of your body kid and let me show you how it's done, so I can go back to my slumber] communicated the Eye Demon to Lex.
Lex was reluctant to do so, but in the current secluded Underground Coves they were in, there wasn't much damage he could do, apart from harming his fox beasts.
[You better not be planning one of your plots to take over] stated Lex as he handed over the main control to the Eye Demon but was prepared to snatch it back at any moment.
Lex could tell that the Eye Demon wasn't looking for any trouble this once, or so it seemed, and he knew that he needed the Eye Demon in his current situation.
"Finally, I get to take a physical form again after such a long time" stated the Eye Demon as he began stretching nonchalantly, not caring about the 3 giant ant beasts that were charging towards him.
Lex would never have dared to do so while facing against three powerful peak Heaven Mortal Beasts, but he knew that the capability and ability of the Eye Demon were unbelievable and to the Eye Demon, the giant ant beasts were merely weak ants that he could have stepped on if he had his past form.
The giant ant queen could sense that Lex had completely changed in terms of aura and presence, but she still ordered the 3 giant ant beast guards to attack, without any other option.
The giant ant beasts charged headfirst aiming their sharp pincers at Lex's body, but just as they were about to attack him, he suddenly disappeared and appeared a few metres away.
His sudden disappearance wasn't expected by the giant ant beasts that were charging forwards with all their speed and power, and without being able to stop, ended up crashing into each other.
Lex feeling what the Eye Demon was using while in control of his body was in awe of what he felt, as the Eye Demon used teleportation using the Spacial Eye.
The single-use wasn't enough for Lex to grasp or understand in the slightest, but he was sure of what it was and wanted to learn it after seeing how incredible it was.
The Body Jolt Skill wasn't instant and had the limitation that it could only be used in straight lines of movement through space, meanwhile, teleportation allowed Lex to disappear and reappear in another area within an instant without any limitations.
He could feel that using the Spacial Eye the Eye Demon was able to open a doorway through space that allowed him to exit through another area in space, similar to how he had seen Ella do so, but he still couldn't grasp how to do it himself as he attentively watched the Eye Demon in control of his body.
The Eye Demon in control of Lex's body burst out into laughter as he saw the confused expressions of the ant easts and sensed Lex attempting to understand the skill.
"Finally I can spill some blood, but poor Ashura has been sealed and can't join in on the fun" mumbled Evil Lex to himself as he enjoyed himself.
Lex felt a sensation within the eye that had opened in the centre of his forehead, that he had never felt before, as the red Third Eye suddenly began releasing large amounts of negative and demonic energy.
"This is the true power behind negativity that everyone is afraid to tap into" declared Evil Lex as he body continued overflowing with power.
Lex was in awe of the power he was feeling as he also sensed that it was only a matter of time before he managed to break through into the Golden Mortal Rank.
With a mere wave of his arm, the Eye Demon had realised a blade formed of destructive evil energy and instantly slashed a giant ant beast in half.
Lex couldn't help but feel both saddened and happy at the same time.
He knew that the Eye Demon could only use the energy and body that he currently had and was able to display such strength with it, which showed how powerful he was. However, he was saddened because he knew he wouldn't be able to even unleash half of that power despite having it within him, while the experienced and knowledgable Originator Eye Demon made it look easy with his incredible capability.
"One down, a few more ants to crush" stated Evil Lex with a smile as he glared at the rest of the giant ant beasts, causing them to quake in fear.
With the Third Eye being activated and drawing in such large amounts of energy, it had managed to break through into the Heaven Mortal Rank as its strength suddenly rose even higher.
While the Third Eye activated, Lex's dominance was heightened massively, as it was the base ability and concept that the Third Eye was built upon, and because of it, the giant ant beasts couldn't help but be scared, despite being under the orders of the giant ant queen.
The giant ant queen herself began fearing for her life as she herself felt afraid and intimidated while looking at Evil Lex, and in a final bid to survive, recalled her army that was attempting to circle around the fox beasts, hoping for them to return and overwhelm Lex with their numbers.
