518: Chapter 528 I'm so tired of winning!

At this moment, when Taishu Yichen finally realized his current predicament, he actually regained the bearing befitting a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Since he could not survive, he absolutely would not let the enemy have it easy!

Thus, he no longer fixated on attacking the barrier blocking his path to survival, but instead began to frantically burn the remaining Origin power within his Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul miniature suddenly spread its limbs, and colorful spiritual light erupted from its body, becoming brighter and more blinding, like a burning small sun.

Taishu Yichen's face twisted with madness amidst the light.

He intended to use the self-detonation of his Nascent Soul as the price to drag this damned fellow down with him.

However, given his current level of weakness, although the power of a Nascent Soul self-detonation would be enough to raze a million miles to the ground,

Lu Ming was, after all, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and would not fall so easily.

However, its power would certainly destroy the core Origin of this Spirit Treasure.

Once the "hun tian myriad phenomenon map" was destroyed, this Small World would also return to nothingness, and everything within it would head toward its end, including all living beings inside.

Of course, a Nascent Soul True Monarch could traverse the Void Realm, and perhaps this would not kill the opponent, but at the very least, the violent turbulence of the Void Realm would severely injure him.

At that time, the commotion here would inevitably attract the attention of those old fellows.

And knowing the greedy nature of those old fellows, he did not believe they would be able to resist taking action against a newly advanced Nascent Soul in such a heavily injured state.

If this person did not pay a price, he would definitely not come out unscathed.

Thinking of this, the immature face of Taishu Yichen's Nascent Soul was filled with the satisfaction of revenge, as if he had already seen the opponent's miserable ending.

However, at that very moment, a shadow suddenly descended from the firmament, completely covering him.

It even temporarily suppressed the radiance of the Nascent Soul's self-detonation.

"What is happening?"

Taishu Yichen was startled, abruptly looking up, and then his pupils suddenly contracted to the size of needle points.

He saw, in the distance, a heaven-defying Dharma Image slowly rising from the horizon.

That Dharma Image was over ten thousand zhang tall, supporting the sky and standing on the earth; it was entirely gray, its features unclear, with only a blurred outline visible.

It sat cross-legged on the earth, spiritual light shining behind it; one hand formed a Seal in front of it, while the other stretched out in a flower-pinching gesture.

In front of it, Taishu Yichen's Nascent Soul was as insignificant as dust.

The might of that Dharma Image made the entire hun tian myriad phenomenon map tremble.

Taishu Yichen began to tremble all over, even forgetting about his self-detonation.

No, not forgetting, but unable to!

In front of that Dharma Image, he felt that everything about himself was suppressed.

Even his burning Origin power was forcibly pressed back into his body, and his swelling body was forcibly compressed back down.

Like a chicken being grabbed by the neck, he could not even breathe.

In fact, this was the "Miluo Heaven Capture and Bestowal Myriad Treasure Bright Venerable Image," originally just an ordinary third-tier Divine Ability.

But at this moment, manifested by Lu Ming using the Hunyuan Law, it possessed the status of the source of ten thousand Laws and the ruler of all Laws within the Hunyuan Law.

A Nascent Soul that had lost the protection of Laws and only had its Origin left was like an ant before it; this was already a crushing of levels.

Residing at the head of the Dharma Image, Lu Ming's indifferent gaze looked down at the terrified Nascent Soul miniature below.

Although forcing a Nascent Soul True Monarch to this extent was very fulfilling, there was not a trace of expression on Lu Ming's face.

This was the Cultivation World, where the weak are prey to the strong.

Do not look at how Nascent Soul True Monarchs are usually high and mighty, looking down on all living beings; in the end, they are just people with relatively powerful strength.

They also bleed, and they also feel fear.

Therefore, Lu Ming did not have any particularly deep filter regarding this.

He felt more anticipation about what he could obtain after capturing Taishu Yichen.

Thinking of this, the Dharma Image slowly raised its outstretched hand, five fingers spread, and covered the Nascent Soul miniature below.

That palm covered the sky and sun, the five fingers like five giant pillars supporting the sky, the lines in the palm clearly visible, each line an extension of a Law.

Taishu Yichen's Nascent Soul miniature wanted to escape, but found that his figure was firmly fixed in place by the pressure emitted by that palm, unable to even move a finger.

Wanting to self-detonate, the Origin power was suppressed so tightly that it could not be triggered at all.

"No... don't..."

The Nascent Soul miniature's voice was trembling, its eyes full of fear, despair, and unwillingness.

He could not accept that he would end like this, but reality would not change any ending because of his thoughts.

"No—! You will not die a good death! This seat curses you! I curse you to never be reincarnated for all eternity!"

As the giant palm fell, the Nascent Soul miniature let out a final desperate roar, which then came to an abrupt end.

The palm closed, the five fingers retracted, and billions of runes emerged from the palm, wrapping the Nascent Soul layer by layer.

The Nascent Soul miniature also gradually calmed down under the wrapping of the runes, no longer struggling.

It just curled up in the palm, like a sleeping infant.

And sealing a Nascent Soul seemed to have exhausted the last bit of energy of the Dharma Image.

The giant Bright Venerable Dharma Image began to gradually turn illusory, finally slowly dissipating.

Lu Ming also walked out from the Void Realm at this moment, but in his right palm, he was holding that sealed Nascent Soul.

He looked down at the tiny Nascent Soul in his palm, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Done!"

Honestly, Lu Ming had not expected to directly take down a Nascent Soul True Monarch this time.

His initial goal was just to establish authority, build his reputation, and thereby prevent some trouble in the future.

As a result, the situation developed unexpectedly; first, this fellow Taishu Yichen seemed to be too heavily injured.

Lu Ming did not know exactly how strong his strength was at his Peak, but as of now, he was really a bit weak.

The gap with his expectations was a bit too large.

As a result, this fellow, for the sake of that little bit of greed in his heart, actually used a Spirit Treasure like the "hun tian myriad phenomenon map" to trap the enemy, locking himself and the enemy together.

If strength could unilaterally crush, then this would be closing the door to beat the dog.

But if the hard strength could not compare, then it was a bit awkward; it would not be an exaggeration to say this was digging his own grave.

Finally, there was his own Hunyuan Law; this time he used it with full force, and its ferocity and profoundness also greatly exceeded his expectations.

It was truly a comprehensive crush in terms of values and mechanics.

It was also what Taishu Yichen mastered, and the Yin-Yang Law that he had collected, which perfectly countered him.

This was what turned this situation, which was originally just mutual probing, into this current appearance.

"Winning big!"

Lu Ming looked at the sleeping Nascent Soul in his palm, the corners of his mouth unable to be pressed down.

Do not look at how it is just a Nascent Soul now, but this is the essence.

Setting aside the Nascent Soul Origin, the memories in its Divine Soul were the biggest harvest.

Not to mention Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities, there were also various hidden secrets, and most importantly, ten thousand years of cultivation realization!

These could greatly enrich Lu Ming's knowledge reserve of cultivation, clearing some obstacles for his Nascent Soul path!

However, do not look at how he was holding the other party in his hand, in reality, wanting to pry open the other party's brain to get this information was not that easy.

Just because the Nascent Soul already possessed a trace of Primordial Spirit ability, if he used the methods he used against those Golden Core cultivators before, it would definitely not work.

"Sigh, another day of missing the human emperor banner..."

Lu Ming's eyes were full of nostalgia, and he sighed softly.

Of course, he certainly would not admit that he was the type of person who says "oh, you cutie" and then "get lost" when there is no trouble.

But after breaking through to Nascent Soul True Monarch, he really did not care about the human emperor banner that much.

But to be fair, if he had the human emperor banner, there would not be so much trouble.

Just throw the Nascent Soul in to wash it and make it his own, then what secret could he not see?

"Looks like I have to find a chance to bring the human emperor banner out, otherwise it is just too uncomfortable to sit on a mountain of treasure but not be able to enter."

Sighing, Lu Ming decided to put it aside for now; he really could not do anything about this little Nascent Soul right now.

However, this was not a big deal; as long as it was in his hands, it would eventually be pried open.

And other gains were not small, especially the Yin-Yang Law that Taishu Yichen had participated in for nearly ten thousand years.

This was not comparable to those hundred-year realizations of Golden Core cultivators.

Both in quality and quantity, they were not in the same breath!

He had only used the Hunyuan Law to swallow it at the time, but had not had time to digest it.

He really dared not imagine, if he refined all this Law, perhaps the Yin-Yang Law would become the strongest single-attribute Law he currently possessed.

However, this would not affect the foundation of the Hunyuan Law, nor would there be any situation of the guest taking over the host.

Instead, because the other Laws were stronger, the Hunyuan Law would become even stronger.

However, Lu Ming was not in a hurry to refine it, and continued to check the rest of Taishu Yichen's items.

Uh...

It seemed there was nothing left to check.

Nascent Soul True Monarchs could already create caves, so naturally, they would not lack storage methods.

Generally, their own resources were placed in the internal space they had opened up.

Taishu Yichen was naturally no exception.

But the bad news was that his Physical Body, which carried the internal space, was blown up by Lu Ming, and his equipment was blown all over the place.

The good news was that because the space he was in was a spatial Spirit Treasure, although the equipment was blown everywhere, it was not swept into the Void Realm turbulence.

It was just scattered everywhere, making it very troublesome to tidy up.

But it was not a big problem; Taishu Yichen had been suppressed by him, so this spatial Spirit Treasure was naturally Lu Ming's possession.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand to withdraw the barrier that covered the sky and earth, and with a flash, he arrived at the core Origin place of the Spirit Treasure.

That place was hidden in the deepest part of a secluded valley.

The valley entrance was narrow, only allowing one person to pass, and ancient runes were engraved on the cliffs on both sides, emitting a faint ghostly light.

At the end of the valley, a giant crystal-like object was suspended in mid-air, entirely transparent, with ghostly blue runes slowly flowing inside, like blood flowing in blood vessels.

That was the heart of this spatial Spirit Treasure, and also the core Origin of the "hun tian myriad phenomenon map."

Arriving close, Lu Ming searched the surroundings with his Divine Sense to ensure no traps were set, then probed his Divine Sense into the crystal, preparing to start deconstruction.

What he saw was Taishu Yichen's Divine Soul imprint layered on top of each other, engraved densely in the depths of the crystal like tree rings.

Clearly, this Spirit Treasure had been nurtured by Taishu Yichen for a long time, and the bond between the two was too deep.

However, Lu Ming was not scared; his Divine Sense turned into countless tiny threads, probing into it one by one, peeling off and clearing those imprints.

However, Taishu Yichen was still alive, so those imprints were like they had life, struggling violently when being peeled off.

But this resistance was just futile; without the Spirit Treasure owner's magic power support, it could not stop Lu Ming's brutal invasion at all.

Lu Ming's Divine Sense crushed over layer by layer, grinding those imprints into pieces.

Finally, amidst the wailing of Taishu Yichen's Divine Soul imprint breaking, Lu Ming condensed his own Divine Sense into a brand-new imprint, deeply embedded in the depths of the crystal.

And the moment the imprint was formed, the entire hun tian myriad phenomenon map trembled, as if welcoming its new master.

"Hmm, those who know the times are outstanding, not bad, not bad..."

Spirit Treasures have spirits, and seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster is an instinct.

Seeing that it could not resist, it directly cut ties with its former master and recognized a new master.

Regarding this, Lu Ming was still very satisfied.

If the Spirit Treasure played any tricks on him, Lu Ming would not mind annihilating its nascent intelligence, even if it damaged some of the Spirit Treasure's power; he absolutely would not tolerate the existence of a Spirit Treasure that did not listen to him.

Being so situation-aware now actually saved him a lot of worry.

Lu Ming closed his eyes, starting to feel everything in this space with the authority of the Spirit Treasure's master.

Instantly, the mountains, rivers, and every inch of land within it spread out in his perception, and he could even clearly sense the trembling of grass leaves as the wind blew past.

Like a god's perspective, overlooking the world.

But that was all; this world did not have the heaven and earth rules of the outside world.

So this was just a pure spatial Spirit Treasure and could not manipulate heaven and earth rules to deal with enemies inside; at most, it could only be used to trap enemies, just like Taishu Yichen did.

"However, although it cannot directly defend against enemies, it can be used like this..."

Thinking of this, Lu Ming's mind moved.

The items in the hun tian myriad phenomenon map that were scattered everywhere due to Taishu Yichen's Physical Body being shattered gathered from all directions.

Spirit Medicine, Ore, Jade Slip...

They dragged long tails of flames across the sky, like swallows returning to their nests, flying from every corner of this world, and finally gathered in front of Lu Ming, suspended in mid-air.

For a time, it was dazzling and shining with spiritual light.

Lu Ming's gaze swept over those items.

The original anticipation in his eyes instantly disappeared, and then became a bit disappointed.

Although most were fourth-tier Spirit Medicine, mineral materials, or even finished Medicinal Pills.

Their grades were high, but they could not be considered very rare or precious.

At the time, this was somewhat standing and talking without back pain.

If these things were placed outside, they would definitely be the heavenly treasures that those lower-level cultivators would scramble for.

It was just that for the current Lu Ming, they might be a bit unappealing.

But thinking about it, it was also reasonable.

During the fight, when self-detonating Spirit Treasures, Taishu Yichen seemed to have detonated two.

Things like Spirit Treasures were not cabbages; even Nascent Souls might not have many.

But it was true that there should not only be these things, so for the rest, Lu Ming guessed that Taishu Yichen might not have carried them on him, but put them in his cave.

Wait, cave...

Lu Ming was suddenly stunned at this thought.

Although Taishu Yichen was not dead yet, he was basically as good as dead, so his cave would naturally become an ownerless object; if he took over...

Lu Ming had this thought, only because he had not forgotten that there were still a few old things watching outside.

If he just walked out like this, and Taishu Yichen disappeared, they would definitely notice something wrong.

At that time, he might not only be targeted and hostile, but those old fellows would also definitely covet the ownerless Qingwei Heaven.

At that time, there would definitely be nothing for him.

But Lu Ming did not have the habit of handing over what he had obtained to others.

"How about... I just disguise myself as Taishu Yichen?"
