Chapter 327 Primordial Substances
"Found it! This information is quite well-kept—True Meaning Martial Arts was founded by True Immortal Zhushan and True Person Jianwo, with True Person Jianwo being the first generation of cultivators—"
In the void, brains hung beneath giant mushroom umbrellas, pulsating continuously.
Only whispers echoed through the forest where mycelium and mushrooms intertwined: "It turns out to be a new kind of physical training, except that it doesn't train the physical body," but rather the spiritual body.
"Extremely self-centered, indeed, the foundation is still self-centeredness." From the very beginning of cultivation, it emphasizes the distinction between "me" and "him." And Ye Yang's foundation in the Great Dao is ridiculously solid; once he achieves true enlightenment, he will likely surpass most True Monarchs, becoming one of the top tier among True Monarchs—"
"All these factors combined have caused me so much trouble!"
The Nineteenth Protector chuckled again: "Hehehehe—but trouble is just trouble after all."
"The ninth evolutionary iteration of True Meaning Martial Arts is complete. Come! Since you are a genius, then become a part of my divine mind!"
The planet where the Dao vein resides.
Ye Yang unleashed his magical power, freezing a section of spacetime containing his family and friends. If he were to release this spacetime and allow time to flow freely, they, parasitized by the void fungus, would likely be beyond saving!
However—countless spores continued their frenzied attack on Ye Yang.
Only Ba Ji Xingjun and Ye Yang remained. Although the other True Immortals initially helped to kill the incoming spore clouds using various methods, they soon developed internal illnesses and died one by one.
With the immortal body dead, the consciousness returned to the star from which it ascended, and there was no way to help for the time being.
Only Baji Star Lord, despite seemingly being parasitized by void fungi within his body, repeatedly cleansed himself using the power of his own Great Dao.
If those void fungi are still dormant in his body, it's fine; they're difficult to find and kill.
However, if the Void Fungus tries to grow rampantly and cause an outbreak of disease, the power of the Great Dao of Lord Baji can find and destroy it.
Even if the person behind this void fungus is extremely powerful, a Star Lord is still a Star Lord, and also has absolute suppression in terms of size. It can still be suppressed by spending a lot of immortal power.
In the nearly one minute that followed, the two of them together created a safe zone several meters in diameter.
"Grandmaster Uncle, Ancestor Jili said that True Lord Ruitan will be here soon," Ye Yang said.
Ba Ji laughed and said, "That's good. The entire planet is moldy now, with mushrooms growing everywhere. Ordinary magic or immortal power has little effect on them, but the Great Dao power of a True Monarch should be able to sweep them away in a short time!"
However, he was still too optimistic.
"We should be able to hold out for another minute or two."
As Ye Yang was talking, he felt an itch on his neck and couldn't help but want to scratch it. So he immediately circulated his true energy and scratched his entire body surface hard. Then he repeatedly refined the area on his neck where some fungal hyphae had already grown.
This is how the mycelium that had taken root on his skin was dissolved!
"It's getting harder and harder to remove—" he gritted his teeth.
Just then, everything suddenly went quiet, and the countless mushrooms that had grown out in the previous minute stopped releasing spores.
"Damn it—what are they up to now?" Lord Baji frowned.
He had tried to attack the mushrooms before, but they were not only as tough as a celestial being, but also produced a burst of spores when attacked, putting even more pressure on the two of them.
Not only does the spore cloud possess a terrifying ability to erode and parasitize, but it is also impervious to fire and water, making it difficult to eradicate on a large scale.
With their abilities, at least the two of them can only protect themselves.
"My understanding is not enough. I can only solidify a piece of spacetime, but I cannot cut it off and take it with me after it is solidified," Ye Yang sighed.
If he could take his relatives and friends with him, why would he stay here and fight to the death?
"Huh?" The two were suddenly taken aback. They saw that the bodies of several true immortals, which were originally covered by mycelium and could only be barely made out of human form, suddenly moved.
"Not good!" Ye Yang immediately thought of the few demon zombies that the Void Fungus had created during his World Devouring test.
"Quickly destroy the bodies of our grandmaster and the others!" Ye Yang urged.
"It's too late."
One after another, the disfigured corpses stood up. Although the immortal power in their bodies had long since dissipated, the remaining immortal bodies themselves possessed extraordinary immortal-level carrying capacity.
At this moment, something transcended endless distances and transmitted its consciousness to this place—
Similarly, along with the consciousness of this terrifying being, there also appeared a wild and ever-changing aura of the Great Dao!
Infected by this aura—the expression of Lord Baji changed drastically.
"Ye Yang, I'll protect the rest of you, you just need to self-destruct!" he shouted anxiously.
Ye Yang was also completely enveloped by that aura, or rather, that artistic conception, or what could be described as a kind of radiation.
Facing this aura of the Great Dao, Ye Yang felt an inexplicable, profound fear. It was like a small animal encountering its natural enemy, cowering before being preyed upon, its body stiffening and its mind going blank from the shock—that feeling.
My whole body was stinging, and I was experiencing a tingling, needle-like tingling sensation that would quickly disappear.
Ye Yang's true meaning and Dao were also simultaneously affected, with some spots appearing, expanding, and spreading—
He suddenly shuddered, his eyes wide with rage as he roared, "Get out!"
"Get out!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Get out!"
Ye Yang unleashed his full power, even squeezing out all his strength. The true meaning of the Great Dao was activated to its limit, and suddenly golden light shone brightly.
boom!
The impact exploded, causing Ye Yang to bleed from all seven orifices and suffer severe damage to his vital energy, but he managed to suppress the invisible erosion of the Great Dao.
"That was close! If even my Dao Heart and True Meaning had been parasitized and eroded, not only my first clone, but all my clones would have been doomed!" Ye Yang said with lingering fear.
Previously, he was merely battling the Void Fungus.
What just happened involved a game of strategy at the level of the Great Dao.
That terrifying being, even just a single aura emanating from it, was enough for him to barely cope with, despite his full strength. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth!
"True Lord! He is definitely a powerful being at the True Lord realm!" Ye Yang gritted his teeth. Even so, he could not back down because his mother and fellow disciples were behind him.
"Things have come to this point, and we don't even know when True Lord Ruitan will arrive. Placing our hopes on reinforcements will only demoralize us and hasten our demise. We cannot afford to be timid and hesitant!"
Ye Yang knew that he had reached a life-or-death situation.
The consciousness of a powerful being at the True Monarch level descended and manipulated the bodies left behind by several True Immortals. The combat power it could unleash was absolutely enough to easily suppress Ye Yang!
The opponent's aura of the Great Dao was enough to overwhelm Ye Yang, let alone a direct confrontation. The result would definitely be the collapse of Ye Yang's Great Dao!
The terrifying, overwhelming feeling of the landslide reminded Ye Yang of the days when he first underwent life-and-death trials in the Devouring World.
This made him even more calm and decisive.
"Now let's achieve our ultimate goal and fight to the death!"
Ye Yang's eyes narrowed.
In the main world, this life-or-death crisis is a true life-or-death crisis! There is no chance of resurrection and a second chance!
In any case, he could not achieve perfection.
Achieving the Great Dao is essentially a definitive conclusion on the potential of the Great Dao. At this point, Ye Yang naturally cannot achieve perfection.
However, if one immediately detonates their clone to escape and save their life, this act of abandoning family and friends without resistance will inevitably leave behind eternal regret and will surely generate inner demons!
That would make it even more impossible to achieve perfection.
If left doesn't work and right doesn't work, then forget about it!
The path to enlightenment is about to be taken; let's fight to the death!
"That's unnecessary."
Suddenly, a voice that sounded extremely familiar to Ye Yang rang out.
"Senior Rui Tan?" Ye Yang was taken aback and stopped what he was doing.
The nineteen guardians, controlling several immortal bodies, all turned their heads in unison: "Tch, you arrived so quickly. Ruitan? You're actually in the Milky Way? Thirty-two didn't tell me this information."
"Ba Ji, go and heal your wounds first. Leave this to me," said True Monarch Ruitan calmly.
"Hehehehehehe————"
The several zombie immortal bodies under the control of the nineteen guardians chuckled softly.
With a blank expression, Lord Ruitan waved his hand and divided the entire spacetime of the host planet into spatial lattices, each a hundred meters in size.
Space lattices are frozen in place. Light can clearly pass through and reflect through objects within them, but all entities inside the space are unable to move, and any physical or chemical processes are completely suspended and cannot proceed.
It appears as if time has stopped within it, but since light can pass through, it means that time is still flowing inside, only all physical movement is prohibited.
However, countless mycelia within countless spatial lattices suddenly glowed with an eerie light, drawing upon the power of the void and interfering with spacetime.
Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!
Countless spatial lattices exploded instantly, scattering the matter inside in all directions.
Rui Tan Zhenjun frowned, and a deep blue light suddenly burst forth from beneath his skin, sending chills down his spine.
He exuded an aura that Ye Yang had never sensed before, an aura so profound and radiant—
A faint blue glow appeared on all the spatial lattices. This light was very strange; it was neither the spatial lattices themselves nor the matter inside them that was emitting light.
The light seemed to be spacetime itself, or light shining from another dimension, making it impossible to find its source.
With the presence of this light, the explosions of numerous spatial lattices immediately ceased.
Then, a gigantic, crystal-clear, jade-like hand, hundreds of kilometers in size, appeared.
Ye Yang could see that this giant hand was made up of countless overlapping and twisted spatial crystal walls, making it an indestructible and incomparably hard existence that no other material could match!
This massive hand aimed at all the spatial lattices containing survivors, grabbed them, and then crushed them—
Several zombie immortal bodies and countless void mycelia were trapped within these spatial lattices!
"Tsk." The Nineteenth Protector said with a hint of helplessness, "I didn't bring enough raw materials. With this little power, I really can't shake a True Monarch in his prime."
The next moment, the mycelium and zombies he was manipulating were crushed by an irresistible absolute force transmitted from the space itself, turning into the most ordinary matter and spiritual energy.
