420: Chapter 424 You lost!

"However, it should be enough!"

Jiang Wunian murmured and suddenly laughed.

Those narrow eyes hidden within the seven-colored mist suddenly turned toward one side.

There, a figure was stumbling, walking slowly toward him as if his soul had wandered off.

It was the catalyst for this earth-shattering battle—the Golden Core Perfection who had just been forcibly empowered and achieved a Breakthrough.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing the other party's muddled and defenseless appearance, Jiang Wunian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

His laughter was filled with smugness and arrogance, causing the surrounding seven-colored mist to churn incessantly.

He knew he had succeeded!

Despite his earlier appearance of being ready to perish together with Yun Chenzi in a desperate struggle, it was actually just a facade!

Under the cover of those seemingly suicidal attacks, he had already secretly mobilized the "Governing" power of the The True Scripture of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Governing All Spirits.

He had silently eroded and suppressed this person!

Although in his view, there was something indescribably strange about this person.

But after all, he was merely a Golden Core Perfection who had been forcibly elevated through the infusion of endless mortal desires.

He possessed cultivation but lacked even a shred of Law or Dao attainment; his comprehension of the Dao was pitifully shallow.

Calling him the "weakest Golden Core Perfection" would probably be giving him too much credit.

Suppressing such a fellow truly required no effort at all.

The only one he needed to be wary of was that meddlesome fellow, Yun Chenzi.

That was why he had deliberately put on that act, appearing to exert his full strength and acting crazed as if he wouldn't stop until Yun Chenzi was dead, while in reality, he had secretly split off a strand of his mind to silently complete his control over Lu Ming.

And the result did not disappoint him.

This person had almost no power to resist and was easily manipulated by him.

At this moment, he was like a marionette, obediently walking toward him.

"Just one more step... just one more step!"

The greed in Jiang Wunian's eyes almost overflowed.

As long as he swallowed and absorbed this person, that mature desire fruit would be completely integrated!

When that time came, not only would his cultivation step into the long-dreamed-of Dao Realm in one fell swoop, but he could also use it to turn defeat into victory and thoroughly trample this arrogant person before him under his feet!

At the thought of this, the grin on Jiang Wunian's face stretched all the way to his ears.

However,

As the saying goes, extreme joy begets sorrow.

Although Jiang Wunian's expression was hidden within the seven-colored mist, he was a Cultivator of the path of the seven emotions and six desires; any fluctuation in his emotions would be unreservedly reflected in the churning seven-colored clouds.

Yun Chenzi was in the midst of a fierce battle with him, watching his every move at all times.

When the seven-colored mist suddenly churned violently, a warning sign abruptly arose in Yun Chenzi's heart!

His gaze was like lightning, instantly sweeping across the entire battlefield.

In the next instant, his pupils suddenly constricted!

The the dao-obstructing person he had always wanted to suppress and kill was now stumbling toward Jiang Wunian's direction like a sleepwalker!

And he had actually unknowingly ignored this person's existence during the intense battle just now!

"Humph!"

Yun Chenzi's mind was as sharp as a crystal; in a flash, he figured out the cause and effect.

This Jiang Wunian had been planning a surreptitious maneuver from the very beginning!

What shocked Yun Chenzi even more was that with his level of attainment and alertness, he had actually unknowingly forgotten this person's existence during the fierce battle!

It must have been some strange secret technique used by Jiang Wunian, using the seven emotions and six desires as a catalyst to cloud his perception and block his vision!

However, finding out now was not too late!

"Seeking death!"

Yun Chenzi gave a cold shout and stopped entangling with Jiang Wunian.

His figure flickered, turning into a streak of intertwined black and white light, instantly crossing a hundred feet of the Void Realm and rushing toward Lu Ming!

Simultaneously, he suddenly thrust out his right hand, his five fingers clawing at the air.

A giant hand condensed from pure Yin and Yang Qi appeared out of thin air above Lu Ming's head!

The giant hand was clearly black and white with long fingers; a faint Taiji phantom could be seen slowly rotating in its palm, emitting a terrifying pressure that suppressed heaven and earth!

If this grab landed, let alone a newly broken-through Golden Core Perfection, even an old-timer like Jiang Wunian would be heavily injured!

However, how could Jiang Wunian let him succeed?

"Want to snatch him? Too late!"

He gave a sinister laugh and likewise acted without hesitation!

He suddenly formed hand seals, and the seven-colored mist surrounding him surged, turning into countless thick tentacles that madly swept toward Lu Ming!

Each tentacle was entwined with the ultimate density of the seven emotions and desires.

The seven-colored tentacles and the Yin-Yang giant hand reached Lu Ming's front almost simultaneously!

Two completely different yet equally terrifying forces began a fierce struggle within three feet of Lu Ming!

The Yin-Yang giant hand closed its fingers, trying to grasp Lu Ming in its palm, while the seven-colored tentacles coiled frantically, attempting to drag Lu Ming into the depths of the churning mist!

A piercing grinding sound erupted in the Void Realm; it was the two Laws crushing, eroding, and clashing against each other!

The power of Yin and Yang attempted to decompose the seven-colored desires, turning them into nothingness.

The seven-colored desires desperately eroded the Yin-Yang giant hand, trying to pollute the dao rhyme contained within!

For a moment, they were at a stalemate!

However, Jiang Wunian's seven-colored tentacles were more numerous and closer, and he had already secretly planted the "Governing" power within Lu Ming.

After no more than three breaths of stalemate, the Yin-Yang giant hand was forcibly pushed open by a crack by the tentacles!

In that tiny gap, Lu Ming's figure, as if pulled by an invisible force, suddenly stepped forward two paces!

Those two steps were incredibly fast and incredibly eerie!

It was as if he himself actively wanted to throw himself into the embrace of the seven-colored mist!

Yun Chenzi's pupils constricted sharply!

He could see clearly that those two steps were definitely not caused by Jiang Wunian's power!

Although Jiang Wunian had also acted, he was not yet capable of forcibly moving the young man's body while contending with him!

Those two steps were taken by the young man himself!

"You!"

Yun Chenzi wanted to say something, but it was already too late.

Right before his eyes, filled with shock and fury, Lu Ming's figure plunged headlong into the churning seven-colored mist!

Instantly, he was completely submerged by the endless seven-colored desires!

...

Jiang Wunian had originally prepared for failure, and an expression of fury even appeared on his face.

Because during that brief struggle, he had already felt the terrifying pressure of Yun Chenzi's Yin-Yang giant hand, which almost shattered all his tentacles!

But at the very moment he thought he had failed.

As it turned out, that young man actually rushed in on his own!

Jiang Wunian was stunned at first, then wild joy surged in his heart!

"Hahaha! Heaven is helping me! Heaven is helping me!!"

He laughed loudly, his laughter full of smugness and arrogance!

He even ignored why this young man would so actively walk into the trap!

At this moment, his eyes held only the soon-to-be-acquired desire fruit and the imminent Breakthrough into the Dao Realm!

"Yun Chenzi, you lose!"
