516: Chapter 526 Fierce Battle, All Means Used!

For a moment, Taishu Yichen felt the world was somewhat disillusioned; even his Dao Heart, which was nearly "The Great Dao is Only Me," began to shake violently.

He really couldn't fathom how a guy who had just made a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul could change into this in the blink of an eye?

Is there any justice left in the world? Is there any Law?

However, he quickly pulled himself together.

It wasn't that his will was particularly firm, but rather that his spiritual sense was on the verge of exploding at this moment.

This only happened when sensing a fatal threat.

Clearly, the person before him was terrifyingly strong now.

"You have hidden yourself truly deep."

Taishu Yichen gritted his teeth, looking at Lu Ming with hatred as he spoke.

He truly hadn't expected this person to be hiding so deeply.

He had thought this was a guy he could manipulate at will, but it turned out that he either didn't act, or when he did, it was earth-shattering!

Yet, despite this, a feeling of extreme greed rose uncontrollably in Taishu Yichen's heart.

For no other reason, it was simply because being able to contain eleven Laws within one body—what kind of Heaven-Defying Opportunity must this be?

If he could obtain it...

This thought rose unconsciously in Taishu Yichen's heart.

Although in this current era governed by the Heavenly Dao, comprehending Laws was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Having one extra Law would not only fail to become an aid but would instead become a shackle on the path to continuing one's climb in the Immortal Dao.

But Taishu Yichen wasn't stupid; it was a fact that this person had broken through to Nascent Soul True Monarch, but it was also a fact that he had just broken through.

Yet, upon breaking through, he immediately possessed eleven Laws.

Anyone could figure out with their eyes closed that there was definitely a great secret on the other party!

And it was very likely that it already existed before the Breakthrough, back when he was at the Golden Core Stage!

But how could a Golden Core Cultivator comprehend so many Laws?

And even make them not conflict, repel, or backlash against each other.

To say it was talent—Taishu Yichen wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death.

This could no longer be explained by aptitude or Comprehension Ability.

After all, even if the other party possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root, it was absolutely impossible to comprehend so many Laws while simultaneously Cultivating.

Therefore, Taishu Yichen was very certain that the Laws on the other party were definitely not obtained through normal Cultivation.

If they weren't his own, then where did they come from?

"Plunder, devour..."

Almost subconsciously, these two words suddenly popped into his mind.

Taishu Yichen narrowed his eyes, staring at the Yin-Yang Law interwoven with black and white Qi on Lu Ming's body.

He suddenly recalled something: shortly after the Secret Realm opened, Yun Chenzi, the "talent" he had secretly nurtured for hundreds of years, had perished, and he had mourned for quite a while at the time.

But looking at it now, it seemed it wasn't that simple; the Origin of this Yin-Yang Law on the person before him was worth pondering.

Could it be Yun Chenzi's?

Taishu Yichen made a bold assumption, and the more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

And then there was that Thunder Dao Law and the Law of Primal Desire; those were clearly the standard Daoist inheritances for the direct Disciples of the Zixiao Grotto-Heaven and the Six Desires Demonic Sect.

If they had appeared separately, perhaps he wouldn't have thought there was any problem.

After all, it wasn't a rule that only those from the Grotto-Heaven could comprehend such Laws.

But the fact that both appeared on the same person made the matter self-evident.

And wanting to verify his guess was actually very simple.

Just wait until the Secret Realm closed and see how many people from those factions came out.

If only the Zixiao Grotto-Heaven and the Six Desires Demonic Sect were missing people, then this would be ironclad proof!

This person had clearly mastered some secret that allowed him to devour others' Laws and perfectly contain them without being blown apart.

Thereby hunting Cultivators extensively within the Secret Realm, ultimately harvesting eleven Laws—an almost Heaven-Defying number!

Taishu Yichen didn't care about those who had died; he was just thinking.

If he could obtain this secret, and relying on the heritage of the Qingwei Heaven, he might be able to recover his strength in a short time, or even ascend to a higher level.

Although the Origin of the Grotto-Heaven was damaged, that was mostly an injury to the Foundation, affecting only himself.

The living beings that had survived in the Grotto-Heaven for generations had not suffered too much impact.

There were countless Golden Core Cultivators who had cultivated for hundreds of years and had already touched the threshold of the Laws.

And there were those gifted Yao Beasts and Essence Spirits; don't look at them as inconspicuous usually.

But due to their special nature, many of them were natural carriers of Laws, and all of these could become his best "provisions."

As long as he could devour them all, he would inevitably reach an unimaginable level in a short time.

By then, after waiting for himself to develop further, he might be able to deal with those old guys.

And afterwards, it would be the Dao Venerable of Spirit Transformation... the Heavenly Dao...

Whenever he thought of this, his heart surged with excitement, and he almost forgot his current situation.

Actually, if he were being rational, Taishu Yichen's best choice now would be to withdraw the Hunyuan Myriad Phenomena Diagram, make this person's secret public, and let the other six Great True Lords strike simultaneously to suppress him.

However, greed blinded his heart, and he now had only one thought.

Take down this person and seize the Opportunity!

As for opening the Hunyuan Myriad Phenomena Diagram?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

This Opportunity must be enjoyed by himself alone!

If those old guys found out, given his current state, he wouldn't be able to hold onto this heaven-sent Opportunity at all.

Perhaps in the end, he wouldn't even get to drink the first broth, and might even be left with nothing.

Therefore, no matter what, he could not exit halfway.

Thinking of this, Taishu Yichen subconsciously reinforced the blockade of the Hunyuan Myriad Phenomena Diagram, then looked at Lu Ming.

"Although it's a bit troublesome, as long as I deal with this person, everything will be mine!"

Taishu Yichen no longer hesitated; with a wave of his large sleeve, a simple, ancient small cauldron flew out from his sleeve.

The cauldron had three legs and two handles, was entirely greenish-black, and the body of the cauldron was engraved with countless ancient runes.

This was the Qingxu Cauldron, his Natal Spirit Treasure that he had nurtured for many years; it was already connected to his mind and shared his Bloodline.

This time, in order to deal with Lu Ming, Taishu Yichen had to use his real power!

He bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the cauldron, while simultaneously exerting the Yin-Yang Law with full force; black and white Qi surged from his body and poured into the cauldron.

The runes on the cauldron lit up one by one, the greenish-black color faded, and in its place was the Yin-Yang color interwoven with black and white.

The Qingxu Cauldron rotated slowly in mid-air; with every rotation, the Yin-Yang Law became more solid.

This scene was naturally seen by Lu Ming.

However, at this moment, he pointed his fingers at his brow and slowly moved them down, and the colorful vertical mark on his brow quietly closed.

He then rubbed his brow and exhaled a long, turbid breath.

"It is finally done."

Lu Ming whispered softly.

No, the reason Taishu Yichen had been so senseless just now was because he had secretly tampered with things.

The Law of Primal Desire had been fully activated, magnifying the greed in the other party's heart and weakening his rational judgment.

Otherwise, he really feared that this old guy might have a lapse in judgment and open the Hunyuan Myriad Phenomena Diagram.

Those old schemers were still watching from outside; once they saw his current appearance, it wouldn't just be a matter of fighting one Taishu Yichen.

Fortunately, this old guy did not disappoint him and chose to eat alone.

"However, with this, you won't have a chance..."

The thought ended, and Taishu Yichen had already chosen to strike first.

With the Qingxu Cauldron suspended above his head, he formed seals with both hands, pushing the Yin-Yang Law to the limit.

"Life and Death Rotation!"

Black and white Qi surged from his body, intertwining in mid-air to transform into a huge black and white wheel.

The wheel rotated slowly; with every rotation, countless black and white light spots scattered from it, which was the manifestation of the Yin-Yang Law.

When the light spots fell to the ground, the earth cracked, mountains collapsed, and the Void Realm distorted.

However, Lu Ming did not retreat but advanced instead; his Wind and Thunder Wings spread out, and the black and white lightning trails stretched a thousand zhang behind him.

His body teleported, weaving through the gaps of the Life and Death wheel, as fast as a phantom.

A golden war halberd condensed in his hand; the halberd was twelve feet long, and the blade was as sharp as frost.

Carrying the power of the Heavenly Gang, Lu Ming thrust with the halberd.

The halberd light transformed into a golden beam, blasting straight toward Taishu Yichen.

Taishu Yichen flicked his horsetail whisk, and a beam of interwoven black and white light shot from the Qingxu Cauldron, colliding violently with the golden halberd light.

The moment the two forces collided, the entire Hunyuan Myriad Phenomena Diagram trembled violently; the earth cracked, mountains collapsed, and the landscape for dozens of miles was completely altered.

Then, Taishu Yichen flicked his whisk again, and a golden Talisman condensed out of thin air in the Void Realm.

Engraved upon it was the character "Suppress," and a force capable of suppressing all things crashed down, covering Lu Ming from above.

In just an instant, Lu Ming felt as if a force of billions of jun had fallen on his shoulders, causing his movements to stagnate.

He wanted to use his Wind and Thunder Wings to break free from the restriction, but he found that the Void Realm around him was also frozen.

This was not binding, but suppression—a power that suppressed him at the level of the Laws.

"Condensing a Talisman in the Void Realm! A Tier 4 Talisman?"

Lu Ming's pupils constricted; he hadn't expected this old guy to also be a Tier 4 Talisman Master.

This technique of using Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi as ink, the Void Realm as paper, and forming a Talisman with a single thought truly opened his eyes.

"However, wanting to suppress me, I fear you are overthinking it!"

Lu Ming snorted coldly and activated the power of emptiness, causing his entire person to instantly become ethereal.

In just a moment, he felt his whole body lighten, and he drifted away from the range covered by the Talisman like a wisp of light smoke.

He then raised his hand, simultaneously activating the Five Elements Law; five-colored halos rose from behind him, transforming into five chains that coiled toward Taishu Yichen.

On the chains, the powers of the Five Elements—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—flowed, mutually generating and overcoming each other.

Seeing that Taishu Yichen was about to be entangled by the Five Elements chains, he remained unhurried.

Another ancient mirror flew out from his sleeve; the mirror surface was as pitch-black as ink, and the frame was engraved with Yin-Yang fish.

This was the "Yin-Yang Mirror," a Tier 4 Spirit Treasure, not used for attacking but for defense.

As the mirror surface turned, the light on the Five Elements chains was reflected back, coiling in reverse toward Lu Ming himself.

Lu Ming frowned and withdrew the Five Elements Law, and the five-colored halos condensed behind him once again.

"This old guy really has quite a lot of treasures."

But thinking about it, that was to be expected; although his Laws could crush the other party in terms of quantity.

But after all, he hadn't possessed them for long, and hadn't fully digested them to thoroughly convert them into his own combat power.

And regardless, the other party was a Nascent Soul True Monarch who had been famous for tens of thousands of years, and his heritage was naturally unfathomable.

Wanting to take down the other party so simply was clearly unrealistic.

However, Lu Ming was not panicked; the two fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, and he gradually figured out Taishu Yichen's style and began to learn how to use various Laws in coordination.

The Five Elements Law restricted the Qingxu Cauldron, and the Law of Primal Desire transformed into hair-thin needles that drilled into Taishu Yichen's Sea of Consciousness, interfering with his mind.

The Wind and Thunder Wings teleported to dodge attacks, the Void Mist concealed his figure, and the Yin-Yang Law and Thunder Dao Law were responsible for frontal clashes and long-range bombardment.

The eleven Laws took turns, each performing its own duty, coordinating seamlessly.

And Taishu Yichen was becoming more and more shocked as they fought.

At the beginning, he could still detect that this person's application of the Laws was very shallow, but as the battle progressed, it began to become more familiar.

By now, the manipulation was as smooth as an arm directing a finger; every Law was like a well-trained soldier, capable of both offense and defense, advancing and retreating with measure.

This simply didn't seem like something someone who had just broken through to Nascent Soul could do.

For a moment, he even started to have thoughts of retreating in his heart.

However, his sunk cost was too high now; in order to quickly deal with Lu Ming, he had consumed countless amounts of Nascent Soul Origin.

And for some reason, he found that his own consumption rate was far beyond the ordinary, increasing almost exponentially.

It was as if his Dantian had a big hole opened up, and the Nascent Soul Origin was leaking away rapidly.

But he had no time to ponder this now; he just wanted to quickly deal with this damned guy.

Otherwise, if this dragged on, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to last much longer!

Therefore, he gritted his teeth and poured a large amount of Nascent Soul Origin again to activate the Qingxu Cauldron.

All the runes on the cauldron lit up, and the black and white Qi instantly transformed into a hundred-zhang giant Dragon.

"Heaven and Earth Inverted, Yin and Yang Reversed!"

The Qingxu Cauldron inverted, with the mouth of the cauldron facing down and the bottom facing up.

The giant Dragon on it opened its huge mouth, and a terrifying suction force surged from it.

In an instant, Lu Ming felt the Laws on his body begin to leak out uncontrollably, and even his Hunyuan Nascent Soul in his Dantian was restless.

This was Taishu Yichen's trump card, and its purpose was to temporarily strip the opponent's Laws from his body.

And without the support of the Laws, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would have their combat power greatly reduced.

Let alone this guy who only relied on Laws to act fiercely.

Taishu Yichen's goal was simple: as long as he banned this person's Law-based means, the opponent would only become fish on the chopping block, ready to be slaughtered.

"Hmph, the idea is not bad, but unfortunately..."

Lu Ming did not finish his sentence, but saw the various Laws surging around his body suddenly calm down, and then merge back into his body!

"How is this possible!"

Taishu Yichen exclaimed in shock.

He never thought that this sure-fire move would be broken by the opponent so simply.

"Old thing, do you really think these are ordinary Laws!"

If it were truly an ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch, caught off guard, they might really suffer.

But he was different!

Don't look at the eleven Laws as somewhat scattered and disorderly; ultimately, they were all derived after being devoured by the Hunyuan Law.

It was completely different from simply possessing them; their underlying color was the Hunyuan Law!

The power of Hunyuan could be said to be the source of all Laws; wanting to restrict the Hunyuan Law, one could only say that Taishu Yichen was overthinking it!

Of course, Lu Ming had no intention of explaining to Taishu Yichen.

Taking advantage of the moment the other party was still doubting life, Lu Ming seized the Opportunity and pressed forward.

He saw the colorful vertical pupil on his brow open again, and a colorful prismatic light transformed into a beam that shot out; at the same time, the Five Elements Law behind him transformed into a great grinding wheel of heaven and earth, crushing down and smashing toward Taishu Yichen.

In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color, and mountains and rivers shattered.
