514: Chapter 524 They're all really bad!

"Yin-Yang Law..."

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes.

The moment Taishu Yichen made his move, Lu Ming recognized it. This was clearly the Yin-Yang Law!

Well, the same kind he also possessed.

"So that's how it is."

Countless thoughts flashed through Lu Ming's mind.

In the path of Laws, there is no such saying as "Laws cannot be co-cultivated," and everyone can Cultivate the same Law.

However, under normal circumstances, a Nascent Soul True Monarch would not allow anyone to do so.

Because for every additional Cultivator on this path, it meant someone would share the Great Dao fortune that originally belonged solely to him.

Under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, the comprehension of Laws was already stretched thin; having one more person to share the spoils would only make it even less sufficient.

Unless it was beneficial to oneself, such a thing would absolutely never happen.

Could it be that Taishu Yichen wanted to Cultivate a successor?

It seemed that only this could explain the existence of Yun Chenzi.

Lu Ming tried to fathom Taishu Yichen's intentions; after all, a successor carried on the inheritance of the Dao, and for some True Monarchs, their importance even exceeded their own cultivation.

But Lu Ming quickly dismissed this idea.

It was unlikely. Qingwei Heaven was at its Peak at that time, and Taishu Yichen was also at his Peak; he had no anxiety about his Lifespan and had no need to find a successor for himself.

If that was the case, then there was only one possibility.

Yun Chenzi Cultivating the Yin-Yang Law was beneficial to Taishu Yichen!

As for what specific benefits there were, Lu Ming did not know, but he imagined it must be very important.

Perhaps it was just like his own Hunyuan Law, capable of devouring Laws, only Taishu Yichen could only devour paths of the same Origin.

Utilizing the devouring of same-Origin Laws to strengthen oneself—this was perhaps Taishu Yichen's true purpose.

And Yun Chenzi was the "provisions" he had carefully Cultivated, a ladder to ascension he had prepared for himself.

Therefore, Yun Chenzi Cultivating the Yin-Yang Law was not an accident, but something done deliberately by someone.

Lu Ming's gaze gradually became playful.

So that's it, that old guy was actually calculating this.

He looked inward at himself, toward the Hunyuan Nascent Soul sitting cross-legged in his Dantian, and then looked up at Taishu Yichen opposite him, who looked like an immortal with fluttering sleeves, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

[Wicked ideas are being generated...]

On the other side, Taishu Yichen did not know his plan had been seen through. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was very surprised inside.

Just now, his attack was only a small test, not using his full strength, but the intertwining of the Yin and Yang Qi, and the mystery of giving birth to all things, was the ultimate application of the Law path.

He had thought he could easily crush Lu Ming, who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, but he did not expect to fight to a draw.

This was somewhat unacceptable to Taishu Yichen.

Even in terms of Law status, Yin and Yang were absolutely higher than Wind and Thunder.

As a result, the two ended up in a tie.

In a sense, he had lost a step.

"Could it be that my dao attainment has suffered such severe damage?"

Taishu Yichen fell into deep self-doubt.

However, this emotion came and went quickly, and he soon steadied his mind.

"No, it was just that I didn't perform well. If I used my real strength, this person would definitely not be able to block it."

Moreover, he still had a trump card to sit securely in the fishing seat.

That was the fact that the opponent using the Law consumed their own Nascent Soul Origin, while he could rely on the "painted skin holy robe" to consume nothing.

Just because of this point, he stood in an invincible position.

As long as he dragged it out, victory was in his grasp; the advantage was with him!

Thinking of this, Taishu Yichen couldn't help but glance at the human-skin thangka draped over his body.

He thought: "It seems the Soul-Devouring Demon Lord finally did something human; at least he didn't trick me at a critical moment."

So now, the one who should be anxious was not him, but Lu Ming!

Seemingly confirming his thoughts, Lu Ming's subsequent offensive gradually became aggressive, his fighting style becoming increasingly fierce, giving people the feeling of being anxious to decide the winner.

Seeing this scene, Taishu Yichen smiled.

He's anxious, the opponent is anxious!

As long as this trend is maintained, it won't be long before the opponent exhausts his own Origin, and at that time, he will have no power to resist in front of him and can be manipulated at will.

If he could directly subdue or control a Nascent Soul True Monarch, it would be the first time in the history of the Profound Spirit Domain.

And in this way, he could perfectly tide over the awkward period of his dao attainment damage, quickly restore his foundation, and even surpass the past, rebuilding the glory of Qingwei Heaven!

Thinking of this, Taishu Yichen couldn't help but feel his heart surging.

However, as time went on, his expression gradually became ugly again.

The resilience of the guy in front of him was truly too strong; he had been chasing and attacking for almost the time it takes to drink a cup of tea without stopping.

This guy really doesn't care about his own Origin!

However, looking at his state, it seemed to have slipped quite a bit.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can hold on."

Taishu Yichen sneered in his heart, while manipulating the Yin-Yang Law to derive a Taiji wheel to resist the thunder beast rushing over.

This thunder beast was shaped like an ox with no horns, a blue body with a single foot; when it entered the water, there was wind and rain, its light was like the sun and moon, and its sound was like thunder.

This was the "Kui Ox"!

Lu Ming condensed its form with the power of thunder. The Kui Ox stepped on thunder light, its whole body wrapped in purple electricity, and with every charge, it carried the power to destroy heaven and earth, slamming toward Taishu Yichen.

Boom!

The Kui Ox slammed into the Taiji wheel, erupting with a deafening roar.

The entire Jiling Wasteland seemed to be trembling violently at this moment.

The ground began to crack, gravel was shaken into the air, and before it could land, it was ground into powder by the aftermath.

The ground for dozens of miles collapsed, forming a huge deep pit.

Taishu Yichen stood in the middle, the gale whistling past his side, causing his robes to flutter.

However, his whisk swayed slightly, and the Taiji wheel rotated slowly in front of him, protecting him flawlessly while also shedding and resolving the impact force of the Kui Ox layer by layer.

Finally, it dissipated into nothingness.

And from beginning to end, his footsteps had not moved a single inch.

"Hoo hoo~"

Lu Ming panted heavily, looking at this scene, suddenly feeling a toothache.

He had originally wanted to use the Wind-Thunder Law to solve most of the trouble.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually used the Yin-Yang Law!

This was a bit awkward. Although Wind and Thunder had the advantage in speed and destructive power, the Yin-Yang Law could attack and defend, like a thick tortoise shell; it was difficult to truly hurt Taishu Yichen.

Unless he used the Hunyuan Law, he could potentially threaten Taishu Yichen.

But that would expose too many things.

If he didn't operate it well and let Taishu Yichen escape, there would be endless trouble.

Furthermore, Lu Ming felt a few prying eyes in the dark; clearly, others were watching this fight.

Needless to say, those peeping people must be those few Nascent Soul True Monarchs standing at the Peak of the Profound Spirit Domain.

Therefore, he was somewhat restrained, not even using the golden book, and was genuinely consuming his own Nascent Soul Origin.

"Can't go on like this; must find a way to shield those peepers, at least not be so unscrupulous."

Lu Ming quickly considered countermeasures in his heart.

However, just as he was thinking, a problem occurred on Taishu Yichen's side first.

After Taishu Yichen steadily caught the last blow of the Kui Ox, he was preparing to speak and mock him to put some pressure on Lu Ming.

Suddenly, he heard a "crack" sound abruptly.

Taishu Yichen's first reaction was to look at the Taiji wheel.

He thought that the Kui Ox's blow just now exceeded the defense threshold of the wheel, causing it to shatter.

However, looking at it, although the Yin-Yang intertwined wheel's spiritual light was slightly dim, it was still firm and did not show any signs of cracking or collapsing.

"Huh? Not it?"

Taishu Yichen was a little puzzled. Since the cracking sound didn't come from the outside, it must have come from himself.

Thinking of this, Taishu Yichen seemed to realize something, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

He hurriedly looked down and saw the "painted skin holy robe" draped on his body shattering at this moment without warning.

Cracks spread from the edges of the thangka, quickly spreading to the entire human skin like a spider web, and the fragments peeled off one by one.

It slid down from his shoulders, fell to the ground, and turned into ashes.

That Nascent Soul Spirit Treasure, which was said to be able to cover the sensing of the Heavenly Dao for a stick of incense time, just shattered into pieces in front of him.

He had been timing it, where on earth was a quarter of an hour!

Taishu Yichen's expression suddenly became extremely ferocious, roaring and shouting at the Void Realm.

"I knew it! I knew it! How could you, Qin Guan, be so kind!"

At the edge of the sky and earth.

Several phantom figures were gathered together, with a water curtain condensed in front of them, reflecting the scene of the two fighting.

Suddenly looking at the roaring Taishu Yichen inside, their expressions were a bit strange, and then they all looked at the Soul-Devouring Demon Lord on the side.

"Soul-Devouring, you this..."

Hunyuan Demon Lord stopped mid-sentence, his face full of the expression "it really has to be you."

Tricking someone into finding someone to fight, but the so-called human-skin thangka given had problems.

Now Taishu Yichen was in a dilemma.

If he continued to fight, he would have to start consuming his own Origin.

But if he didn't fight, the newly promoted Nascent Soul had already consumed too much Origin; wanting to make up for this Origin was not only time-consuming and laborious, but would also delay his own cultivation.

This was almost an act of blocking the Dao, which could be considered a deadly feud.

If it wasn't settled today, there would likely be endless trouble in the future.

And that person had no background to speak of; if they wanted to take revenge, the current broken Qingwei Heaven would be unable to handle it.

It could be said that this move by the Soul-Devouring Demon Lord had pitted Taishu Yichen miserably.

However, facing the gazes of everyone with different expressions, the Soul-Devouring Demon Lord looked calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

At this point, even the Red Flame Yinglei True Monarch couldn't bear it.

Although he wanted to replace Qingwei Heaven, no matter what, Taishu Yichen was also on the Righteous Path side.

If he watched the other side be calculated by the Demonic Path without saying anything this time, if it was his turn next time, he probably wouldn't get any help.

So he thought about it, then began to brew emotions?

Then he put on a righteous look, turned his head, and began to angrily rebuke the Soul-Devouring Demon Lord.

"Qin Guan, what do you mean by this? It was agreed to be a stick of incense time, but how long has it been? Aren't you intentionally harming people?"

However, facing the barking of the Red Flame Yinglei True Monarch, the Soul-Devouring Demon Lord just glanced at him lightly, his eyes full of mockery.

"You group of so-called Righteous Path people are truly hypocritical."

"Pretending to be righteous here now? When Taishu Yichen was asked to test it at that time, why didn't you stop him?"

"Coming to find trouble with this seat now is truly ridiculous."

"You!"

True Monarch Zixiao was immediately choked by these words and couldn't speak.

He did want Taishu Yichen to take the lead at the time, but it was just to weaken the opponent's foundation a bit, not to let him die.

But how could these words be said?

So he shifted his gaze to True Monarch Taixuan Huangshi and True Monarch Yuji Sitian, trying to shift the blame to these two.

After all, they didn't stop it at the time either; wanting to stay out of it now was not that easy!

However, those two didn't look at him at all and started pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Looking at the posture of these people, the Soul-Devouring Demon Lord's eyes were full of playfulness.

Interesting, what a good show!

However, the few people soon had no mind to care about these, just because in the water curtain, the situation had a new change.

In the field.

Lu Ming looked at the suddenly crazy Taishu Yichen, looking bewildered, and hadn't reacted for a while.

When he saw the broken human-skin thangka on the other side, he seemed to understand something.

He secretly calculated with his fingertips in his sleeves, and then almost laughed out loud.

The hexagram showed a "backstab" situation.

It is said: There is a thief in the Xun position, and treachery is hidden in the Kan palace.

That is, being deceived by the same path, abandoned by allies, under the painted skin, hidden malice, amidst smiles, hidden murderous intent.

So this guy had been relying on this thing to avoid the Heavenly Dao just now. He had been wondering why the opponent didn't consume Origin, and thought he had used some secret method; it turned out it was relying on an external object.

Just didn't expect an accident to happen.

This was not a natural disaster, not an accident, but a man-made disaster, calculated by someone!

Lu Ming, who interpreted the hexagram, almost couldn't hold back.

Hey, really interesting, Taishu Yichen was used as a gun by someone.

These Nascent Soul True Monarchs, one or two are all very wicked, none of them are good things.

But this is just right, saving himself from having to find a reason.

Now that Taishu Yichen had no protection from the human-skin thangka, he was completely exposed to the Heavenly Dao.

From now on, every move he made would consume his own Origin, just like himself.

No, how could it not be the same!

Lu Ming quietly probed his Divine Sense into his Sea of Consciousness, where the karma golden book was quietly floating, the pages turning, stopping at Taishu Yichen's page.

He extended his finger and lightly hooked on the golden book.

From now on, let Taishu Yichen bear his own consumption as well.

And those who were not personally involved would never be able to see any clues.

Lu Ming withdrew his finger, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"This time, the attack and defense have changed!"

Of course, wanting to completely take down Taishu Yichen was not that simple.

Even if the opponent was now consuming his own Origin, his combat power would not be affected much.

And it was very likely that he would realize something was wrong and then decisively give up and run away!

Lu Ming did not want to let go of this great opportunity.

If he could devour a Nascent Soul True Monarch, the benefits to himself would be too great!

Therefore, in order to make Taishu Yichen obediently follow his script, he had to give him a reason to stay.

How to do it...

Lu Ming almost didn't hesitate and began to circulate the Hunyuan Law in his body.

In an instant, wisps of black and white Qi began to permeate out, and then quietly merged into the Wind-Thunder Law.

That's right, Lu Ming intended to set the bait.
