416: Chapter 42 Initiation, Breakthrough!

"Trying to run? Do you think you can escape!"

A cold sneer curled at the corner of Jiang Wunian's mouth; he didn't even spare a glance at the three Golden Core Cultivator retreating in panic.

This area had long been enveloped by his Seven Emotions Dao Domain. As long as their cultivation wasn't significantly stronger than his, no one could escape even with wings.

He focused all his mind on the increasingly dense power of the Seven Emotions Gu.

Under his urging, the invisible Gu power was like a massive and precise spider web, frantically seizing the mortal desires from every inch of space on the battlefield!

Those Cultivators whose desires were drained were like squeezed-out dregs, collapsing to the ground one by one, their eyes hollow, their Auras withered, completely reduced to walking corpses.

And those Golden Core Cultivator who still retained a shred of sanity discovered in horror that their emotions were fluctuating and draining out of control.

Anger was fading, fear was magnifying, greed was twisting, and reason was collapsing!

A deep fear seized their hearts, making even the thought of escaping become blurred and unclear!

Countless invisible threads of desire converged from all directions, finally condensing in front of Jiang Wunian into a seven-colored torrent so thick it was almost solid!

And the target of this seven-colored torrent was precisely Murong Jingyang, who stood in the center of the battlefield, blood-soaked and with a withered Aura!

A flash of madness flickered in Jiang Wunian's eyes.

"Since time is pressing, let's settle this quickly!"

He shoved his hands forward violently!

The seven-colored torrent, like a flood finding an outlet, carried a world-destroying Aura as it crashed into Murong Jingyang's body!

"Ah!!!"

Murong Jingyang roared towards the heavens!

That unimaginably vast amount of mortal desires, like a violent flood, frantically washed through his Meridians, Dantian, and Sea of Consciousness!

His body trembled violently, traces of blood seeped from his seven orifices, and beneath his skin, it seemed as if countless small snakes were frantically slithering!

That kind of pain was like being cut by a thousand blades, like ten thousand ants devouring his heart!

But he gritted his teeth tightly and did not put up any redundant resistance.

He knew that all of this was the result the Sovereign desired.

He only needed to accept it calmly and not cause any trouble!

Watching this scene, Jiang Wunian's brow furrowed slightly.

Murong Jingyang's reaction caused a flicker of doubt to pass through his heart.

Logically speaking, being infused with such a vast amount of mortal desires, even a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator should fall into madness, lose control, or even suffer Qi Deviation.

But the person before him, though his face was distorted in pain, maintained a bizarre clarity throughout.

It felt as if he had actively opened his body and mind, allowing these desires to pour in!

But at this moment, Jiang Wunian could no longer afford to overthink.

In his perception, that Aura permeated with Yin and Yang dao rhyme was getting closer and closer!

That Aura was like a sharp sword hanging over his head, making every one of his nerves tense to the extreme!

"Faster! Even faster!"

He frantically urged the Seven Emotions Gu, extracting even the last trace of mortal desires from the battlefield and pouring them all into Murong Jingyang's body!

Finally, a certain threshold was reached.

Boom!!!

A majestic Aura soared into the sky from Murong Jingyang's body!

Inside his Dantian, that spinning Golden Core had finally become completely harmonious and reached Perfection under the irrigation of the vast desires!

Only now, countless strange runes appeared on the surface of the Golden Core, flickering with seven-colored light and slowly rotating, like a bizarre and enchanting fruit!

And with the Golden Core reaching complete Perfection, Murong Jingyang's cultivation began to climb frantically!

Late Golden Core Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, Peak, Great Perfection!

Boom!!!

Golden Core Perfection!

A pressure belonging to Golden Core Perfection erupted from his body, causing the surrounding air to let out sharp sonic booms!

The injuries on his body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His withered Aura was also recovering at an astonishing rate!

Murong Jingyang slowly opened his eyes.

Deep within his pupils, a seven-colored light flashed and vanished, finally turning into a deep, abyssal black.

He had broken through.

Golden Core Perfection.

...

On the Flying Boat in the distance, Lu Ming stood with his hands behind his back, watching this scene. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied arc.

"The good show has begun!"

He murmured to himself, then turned his gaze toward the Void Realm.

Upon that glittering karma golden book, his Divine Thought quickly swept across and finally locked onto a name—

Murong Jingyang.

Yes, it was Murong Jingyang.

Although this person had long been firmly controlled by Lu Ming using a secret technique, it didn't prevent him from having once harbored ill will toward Lu Ming.

And as long as one was on the list, unless their life ended and their Dao dissipated, there was no possibility of being removed.

Therefore, Lu Ming could select him at any time.

As for why he chose to select him at this moment...

Lu Ming's eyes were deep, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became increasingly meaningful.

...

On the field, Jiang Wunian looked at Murong Jingyang, who had finished his Breakthrough, sensing the Aura of Perfection emanating from him. The greed in his eyes almost overflowed!

This "desire fruit" was now ripe!

As long as he swallowed and refined it, his cultivation would surely skyrocket, and he might even cross that threshold that had troubled him for many years in one go.

Even touching the "Dao Realm" might not be out of reach!

He suddenly turned his head and glanced at the Void Realm behind him.

Ripples were already appearing in that patch of sky, as if something was tearing through the spatial barrier and was about to descend here.

Yun Chenzi was almost here!

He couldn't wait any longer!

Jiang Wunian made a prompt decision, no longer having any hesitation.

The hand seals he was forming suddenly changed, he chanted under his breath, and a bizarre and grand Aura abruptly rose from around him.

It was the Aura of The True Scripture of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Governing All Spirits!

This Cultivation Technique was the superior Legacy of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art, specifically designed to counter, govern, and even refine any Cultivator who practiced the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art!

Inside the Six Desires Demonic Sect, Cultivators who practiced this scripture were natural "shepherds," while those who practiced the basic techniques were merely the "lambs" they raised!

At this moment, Jiang Wunian intended to use his status suppression to forcibly control Murong Jingyang!

"By my True Scripture, govern all spirits! Six Desires Heavenly Demon, heed my command—Seize!"

He gave a loud shout, and a bizarre and domineering ripple shot out from between his brows, pointing directly at Murong Jingyang!

However, in the next instant, Jiang Wunian's expression changed drastically!

That "governing power," which should have been as easy to use as his own fingers and reached deep into Murong Jingyang's Divine Soul, actually collapsed with a bang the moment it touched the other's body, as if it had hit an invisible wall!

Nothing happened!

He sensed nothing!

"This... how is this possible!"

Jiang Wunian's eyes widened in disbelief.

The control secret technique he activated through The True Scripture of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Governing All Spirits actually failed to perceive even a single trace of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art's Aura on Murong Jingyang's body!

But the person was clearly right in front of him, and he indeed radiated the unique fluctuations of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art!

This... this completely defied common sense!
