Chapter 875
The Demon Lord's Avatar Was Just One Point Short
The blood spring surged forth with five-element colorful light, and the yin and yang energies burst forth, instantly triggering the Yin-Yang dual five-element refining heaven array, causing the Universal Buddha to collapse on the spot in an instant.
The Reincarnation Saint Monk among them was more like a candle melting at high temperatures, his physical body refined into a waxy state, gradually detaching from his original form to reveal his stark white skeleton.
This kind of divine power has a profound impact on cultivators, reaching deep into their very essence each time. No matter how grand the Samsara Saint Monk's words are, his so-called "ten reincarnations" are nothing more than the profound mysteries he comprehended from understanding the laws of reincarnation.
Just as Wang Yu was about to unleash the [Netherworld Immortal Transformation Needle] to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent, an invisible force quietly descended.
There was not a single sign.
Wang Yu was instantly frozen in place, like a tiny insect in amber, and the surrounding space... no, the air, was as hard as divine metal and holy iron.
Wang Yu's eyelids twitched.
Realizing that a true immortal from the Tianyu Clan had arrived, they wondered whether it was a force, an avatar, or the main body.
Logically, it cannot be the original entity.
After all, it is too difficult to venture alone into the vast immortal realm to kill human prodigies. The most important thing is how to protect oneself after the kill.
therefore.
It could only be a method like creating a clone.
But the pressure from this power alone was more than ten times greater than that of the Reincarnation Saint Monk. Just when Wang Yu was in dire straits, all the True Immortals in the vast Immortal Realm who stayed in the Daoist temples were there.
Immediately sensing this aura of a true immortal that was completely out of place with the vast expanse, the avatar of the Demon Lord, who was in the nearest Demon Cultivation Realm and was specially set aside to handle daily affairs, was the first to react.
Step out.
Arrive at your destination instantly.
What came into view was a humanoid cultivator with purple wings, reaching into Wang Yu's body and rummaging through his internal cave.
The Demon Lord was furious.
This method is a common instant-kill technique used by true immortals against lower-level cultivators. It can completely empty the target's original source of cultivation and plunder all their Dao fruits in the process.
As a result, the monks will suffer from memory loss and depletion of their essence.
Even death on the spot.
"Tianfeng Xian, stop!!!"
Just as he was about to make a move, an unexpected scene unfolded. The clone sent by Tianfeng Immortal seemed to have struck a boulder, and no matter how hard it tried to pull, it couldn't pull out Wang Yu's Dao Fruit.
As a result, after Wang Yu adjusted, his body erupted with turbid yellow lightning, and the Yellow Spring Yin Lightning propelled the Demon Emperor's artifact, the [Nether Lightning Ruler].
The Yellow Spring Yin Lightning, empowered by the Emperor's Artifact, successfully injured Tianfeng Xian's outstretched right hand, while simultaneously disintegrating Wang Yu's body into Yellow Spring Water, which then reformed in another void.
This method was quite costly for Wang Yu.
However, this was the best way to escape after being ambushed by a True Immortal. Even if it meant exposing the Nether Thunder Ruler, it was the only option, since the strength of the Yellow Spring Dao Fruit was still far from sufficient.
The only thing he possessed that allowed him to barely contend with a True Immortal was the Blood Dao Fruit. Ultimately, it was because he hadn't cultivated for long enough. Otherwise, if he had enough time to cultivate his Dao Fruit to more than ten profound levels before engaging in battle, he could have fought again.
The response at that time will be completely different.
Against those weaker True Immortals, it might be possible to achieve a one-for-one exchange.
Seeing that Wang Yu had escaped on his own.
Without further hesitation, the Demon Lord's clone transformed into a streak of black lightning and launched a fierce attack on Tianfeng Xian's clone, all in a flash.
He then pulverized the immortal clone into dust, and the fiend didn't utter a single word throughout the entire process.
The Demon Lord's clone beckoned once more.
After sealing and imprisoning the Reincarnation Saint Monk, Feng Tianzhi, and the Heaven and Earth Daoist, and coldly glancing at them before coming to Wang Yu's side, he stood before him.
"Are you okay?"
Wang Yu shook his head, closed his eyes, and sensed for a moment.
He said with some regret, "Senior has arrived a bit too early. The primordial power contained in Tianfeng Immortal's clone is extremely limited, and the Human Tribulation has not yet begun."
Demon Lord's Avatar: "..."
After a moment of silence, he said, "You have already cultivated to the Sixth Tribulation Loose Immortal Realm?"
"Yes."
Wang Yu's mindset quickly returned to normal.
“I heard that your main body went to the outer realm, but I didn’t expect your avatar to come. According to the prediction, the first one to arrive should be Lord Yelan, since her Shuiyuntian is the closest.”
He didn't mean to blame anyone when he said that.
after all.
Before stepping into this trap, he had done his research. Logically speaking, the Demon Lord's clone was using the Great Demon Heaven's formation to replenish its source.
Under normal circumstances, the Great Demon Heaven will not appear.
Moreover, such clones used to handle daily affairs would not contain the powerful forces of the past; it was just that Wang Yu overlooked the fact that the Demon Lord was a third-step True Immortal Realm expert.
Standing at the pinnacle of the cosmic sea, such an existence, let alone an avatar, possesses infinite mysteries even in a single thought, making it difficult to deal with an ordinary True Immortal like Tianfeng Xian.
It seems quite normal that they met instantly.
Before experiencing the cultivation of the true immortal realm, all judgments about them are distorted.
Just like the situation calculated by "knowing without knowing".
Although there were dangers, the overall situation was still not enough to threaten Wang Yu's life. Therefore, the calamity had not yet arrived, and he did not get the chance to soar to great heights.
Although Wang Yu felt regretful, he had no remorse.
Anyway.
The Grand Assembly of the Origins of All Laws, which will inevitably be held within the next hundred years, is his only choice to trigger the human calamity. In addition, the exposure of the Nether Thunder Ruler this time.
Tianfeng Xianruo has some understanding of the situation in the Demon Realm.
He will inevitably announce to the entire universe that he is the True Flame King, and at that time, Wang Yu's identity will not only become famous in the vast Immortal Realm.
The entire universe will be watching his path to rise.
Trouble, opportunity!
They will all come one after another, and how he greets them will determine the arrangements for his subsequent cultivation plans.
The focus returns.
"In any case, thank you for your help, Senior Demon Lord."
"Forget it, you have too many secrets, and your cultivation speed is unprecedented. I look forward to your performance at the Myriad Laws Origin Conference."
"Those three people..."
"Don't worry, I will deal with them properly. Colluding with alien immortals to harm human prodigies, even if he is a Buddhist holy monk, he will not escape the punishment of the Immortal Palace's laws."
"Very well, then I'll trouble you to take care of it, senior."
After saying goodbye.
Wang Yu returned to the Blood Realm Ten Realms. This time, he used the Devouring Law and the Universe Law to gather all ten realms into his inner world and fled with his main base.
Within the Myriad Transformations True Demon Cave Heaven, there are not only the demonic dragons and phoenixes he cultivated in his early years, but also millions of elite demons brainwashed from the Origin Demon Realm.
Only Tantai Chan and Xueyu remained by his side.
The three of them went to the True Spirit Realm. Before the start of the Myriad Laws Origin Conference, Wang Yu would go into seclusion in Tai Xuan Heaven and ask his master for advice on cultivation after reaching the True Immortal Realm.
In addition to the related exercises and precautions.
He was worried that if the tribulation he encountered at the conference was too dangerous, he might not have the chance to return to the Vast Immortal Realm and would have to undergo the tribulation outside.
Knowing these secrets in advance is essential. Then comes the matter of the Yin-Yang lineage.
The Demon Lord has taken people away, and he will most likely target Buddhism, since the influence of Buddhist cultivators on the mind is quite severe.
Over the years, they have absorbed many outstanding talents of the human race.
Although in theory they still serve the Celestial Palace and are pillars of the human race, they dare to collude with even alien True Immortals behind the scenes. All these signs may be influenced by the impending Great Calamity at the end of the era.
However, the fact that the origin of Buddhist practice is incorrect is also one of the reasons.
The demonic path originated from the human ancestors' imitation of the demons' use of demonic energy, while Buddhism was actively transmitted by alien beings from the Mahayana Buddhist realm.
This is what is meant by having an incorrect origin!
Given the Demon Lord's personality, he would definitely punish a large number of Buddhist cultivators severely, so it's normal for him to go on a killing spree.
The matters concerning the Yin-Yang lineage seem much less significant.
After careful consideration.
For safety reasons, Wang Yu decided not to go alone, but to take the matter to court in the same way he dealt with the Void Dharma Lineage.
At that time.
They naturally share the blame for colluding with alien immortals; Wang Yu doesn't need to bother with anything further, he can just let things take their course.
…………
…………
That day.
They arranged for Xueyu and Xiaochan'er to have leisurely jobs in the Immortal Palace, allowing them to drift through life and occasionally visit the headquarters' top-tier cave dwelling.
Wang Yu then personally went to Tai Xuan Tian to pay respects to his master.
Tiandaotai.
This time, the True Immortal Tai Xuan did not sit upright on the futon, but stood near the alchemy furnace, holding a palm-leaf fan and fanning himself idly.
"Master, Yu has come to pay his respects."
"sit."
Sitting down in front of the futon, Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh, "This time I was just a little short. Otherwise, I would have had a chance to ascend to immortality before the Myriad Laws Origin Conference."
Upon hearing this, Xuande Xian chuckled in disbelief.
“Everything in this world, from the smallest drink to the largest bite, has a cause and effect relationship. If you have not cultivated the ‘Scripture of Self-Salvation,’ this trap will be a human tribulation. Similarly, when you face the tribulation of becoming an immortal in the future, you will lose the tribulation-transforming effect of the ‘Scripture of Self-Salvation.’”
"If that's the case, I would prefer to choose the 'Scripture of Self-Salvation'!"
after all.
Wang Yu still has a Yin body divine embryo that has not yet undergone tribulation. If he were to do it again, he could increase the tribulation-transforming effect to 99% and then use all his supernatural abilities to undergo the Ascension to Immortality Tribulation.
There is probably no one else in the world who has overcome tribulation so easily. His sighs at this moment are nothing more than venting his grievances to his elders and expressing his affection.
"Let's skip this topic," Wang Yu suddenly said.
"By the way, during the enlightenment gathering in the Origin Demon Realm, I encountered a being that resembled my second senior brother. I wonder what task Master assigned to him..."
"It can hardly be called a mission. Your senior brother has followed me for many years and achieved the Great Vehicle Perfection early on. He is training in the border army. Do you know why?"
"Disciple doesn't know."
The True Immortal of Tai Xuan's Cause and Effect slowly recounted the story.
“Back then, the Ice Prison Realm drifted out from the unknown void and was captured by your master and refined into a cage. Among them, besides the native Ice Clan, there was also your second senior brother.”
Wang Yu looked surprised upon hearing this.
"I have heard that my senior brother is the son of the divine general who serves our master."
"That's just an excuse to deal with outsiders."
Xuande Xian shook his head and continued.
"Your senior brother is a human being sent from another realm by your eldest senior brother. Along with him is a dragon beast with true dragon blood, but with twelve pairs of bronze horns and four winged legs."
Wang Yu suddenly realized.
Suddenly, I remembered the "Ancient Beast Ancestral God," a figure almost forgotten in the corner of my memory. It was a legendary being among the demons of the Ice Prison Realm.
As far as Wang Yu knew, the Ancient Beast Ancestor had also successfully left the Ice Prison Realm, but he had never heard of such news and had almost ignored it.
When I mentioned it today, it immediately came to mind.
"The Otherworld has always been another place that the cultivation world has been exploring, the [Cosmic Sea]. I can confirm that its bloodline belongs to the orthodox human race, and it is the relatively ancient kind."
"Therefore, I trained him to cultivate the immortal dynasty's methods that I had seized from alien beings, but unfortunately, it failed. Your senior brother, on the other hand, used the power of the Heavenly Bureau to travel to the alien universe."
"Later, I discovered that the Origin Demon Realm was the weakest and thickest part of our cosmic sea, where almost all the malevolent demonic energy of the entire cosmic sea was gathered, making it extremely filthy."
"It is weak because these evil energies have weakened the barrier of the cosmic sea itself, and it is also heavy because these evil energies accumulated over the years are so heavy that even ordinary true immortals have difficulty passing through them."
"Your second senior brother was born from another realm. Perhaps he has some connection with another universe. That's why he served in the border army and learned about the physical structure and origin of various demon races. After he mastered the transformation method that I gave him, he completed his cultivation."
"Then he transformed into a demon to find the weakest point."
Having said all that, and combining it with the information he already knew, Wang Yu suddenly realized something.
"Is this the purpose of the ancient demons?"
"Not bad!"
Tai Xuan, the True Immortal of Karma, shook his palm-leaf fan.
"Suppressing the ancient demons is just a pretext. Their true purpose is to release them suddenly, as they are in a weakened state year-round. This will act like a source of devouring energy, greatly weakening the evil energy at the target location and adding a lot of trouble to the Demon Realm."
Wang Yu continued.
"So, Master's original goal was not to annex the Origin Demon Realm, but to carve out a piece of land from another universe to strengthen the Vast Immortal Realm?"
"Yes, although our universe is vast and boundless, most of the worlds are owned. Without starting a war, only the ancient realms that occasionally drift out from the void and chaos can be won over."
"But when the ancient realm merges into the vastness, half of it will be devoured by the Heavenly Dao, and other human True Immortals will also share the spoils. To accumulate a vast territory sufficient to support a True Immortal's Dao field would require countless years of accumulation, which is too slow for the human race."
Therefore, the Tai Xuan Karma True Immortal has been planning this for years, wanting to annex the territory of the alien universe.
but.
Wang Yu always felt that his master hadn't finished speaking, and that it must involve more secrets, such as the mysterious cutoff point at the upper reaches of the River of Time.
Regarding the matter of the second senior brother, I'll leave it at that.
Next.
Wang Yu inquired about the details of the Ascension Tribulation and how to cultivate in the True Immortal Realm.
But then he heard his master say...
"The Ascension Tribulation varies from person to person. No matter what path or method you cultivate, the only goal of the Heavenly Tribulation is to kill you. Therefore, it will evolve the Dao Laws that are most effective against you. Only some top-tier Tribulation-Crossing Immortal Treasures can provide assistance."
"You don't need to worry about that. The only thing you must be careful about is choosing the location when you ascend to immortality. If you don't have the means to return to the vast immortal realm, even if you choose a desolate void, don't choose any world at will. Even if a vast, unclaimed world is placed in front of you, don't enter it rashly and refine it into your own Dao field."
"Disciple understands, then what about cultivation in the True Immortal Realm?"
"That's easy."
"In the end, it all boils down to the two words 'enlightenment.' Every immortal scripture is unique; it can be used as a reference but not taken as absolute truth. Just continue to refine your own fundamental principles." (End of Chapter)
