Chapter 434: Reverse Evolution Technique, Making the Physique Degenerate

“Borrowing debt? So this is the final method?”

Almost all Dao Artifact wielders felt a sense of absurdity.

The information was too unbalanced!

First, the Tomorrow Dao had just been born, and the Dao artifacts had not yet aged. All artifacts absorbed each other one hundred percent; even if calamity energy marked them, it wouldn’t lead to their weakening.

The real reason Yun Ye could not borrow the strength of heaven and earth was, in fact, the Tomorrow’s Slice Strike Dao Sword.

The Tomorrow itself was the source of all Dao artifacts in the New Dao. If Tomorrow’s Slice Strike Dao Sword borrowed debt, the price of ten times the echoes would mean cutting off the New Dao’s future in half, making it almost impossible to recover; the only option would be to destroy Tomorrow.

However, Red Heaven had been clear: once the Original Dao Artifact was handed over, the efficiency of the artifact’s fusion would decrease, from the initial one hundred percent to ninety and then to eighty, until it reached the ruling Dao, even newly born artifacts would be frozen at one-third effectiveness.

If the debt was borrowed and repaid based on ability, then it would be as if nothing had happened, with no consequences.

But once an artifact was destroyed, if they directly defaulted, the credit level of the Dao System in the human race would decrease, and absorbing echoes would come with losses.

The cost was too high; in a completely rational state, Yun Ye naturally ruled out the possibility of borrowing debt without a second thought.

Moreover,

There was no need!

“You would not have met your demise, but now…”

Yun Ye gazed at the endless calamity energy gathering in heaven and earth, directly releasing the Form Release of the Dao artifact.

This massive amount of calamity energy had been drifting aimlessly in the world for a millennium because the Holy Lineage of the Luo had never borrowed debt, thus unable to manifest its power.

Even though Yun Ye was the wielder of the Original Dao Artifact of Tomorrow Dao, he only gained a small amount of calamity energy, resembling a "pseudo-Reversed Form."

But now, with the debt completed, even before entering the moments of reincarnation that occurred every sixty years, the calamity energy already had a gathering point.

The scattered calamity energy was unusable by Yun Ye, but once this massive calamity energy gathered, its richness almost covered the entire battlefield.

In this situation, he could easily…

Enter the state of a great disaster!

The enormous black energy flowed like a funnel.

It poured into Yun Ye’s body, forming dark lightning marks on both hands, resembling the markings of heavenly punishment.

The thousand-year history of the Luo Dynasty flashed before Yun Ye’s eyes, allowing him to glimpse a fragment of the truth of why the Luo Dynasty could change dynasties…

It was precisely due to the great disaster!

At that time and place, just like the current moment!

“Tomorrow!”

“Reverse form, release!”

The lightning marks spread, and the mysterious black Daoist Robe enveloped Yun Ye, strangely resembling the black Daoist Robe of the Formation of Heaven’s Command. The two robes fused into one.

The Formation of Heaven’s Command was originally a formation that gathered the strength and wishes of the people, which indeed was somewhat similar to calamity energy.

Yun Ye’s already clear mind soared to an unparalleled height at this moment.

The great disaster descended.

He would gain unmatched and undefeated levels of perception.

The ranking of talent and strength had a hidden list, known as the Qilin Rankings and Peerless Rankings.

But this only represented the thirty-six strongest talents in one province, along with four supreme geniuses who stood out among them.

Strength varied depending on the region, with significant differences between provinces.

At the level of the Luo Dynasty, there was an upper-ranking list that could only accommodate one peerless among the peerless, called the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings.

Only by sweeping through three provinces and defeating the twelve strongest peerless experts could one enter this list and attain the fate of a True Dragon or True Phoenix.

The three provinces were largely isolated, making it rare for a Dragon or Phoenix peerless to emerge, so True Immortal status cultivators were exceedingly uncommon.

If the peerless level had the potential to advance to the Mystic Realm, then True Dragon and True Phoenix would likely lead to attaining True Immortal status.

Some powerful dynasties would produce a Dragon or Phoenix fate every fifty years, making True Immortal status cultivators less rare.

However, even Dragon and Phoenix peerless talents were still not truly unmatched and undefeated.

Only an individual who dominated the entire Red Heaven realm and stood at its pinnacle could be called unmatched and undefeated; not even invincible in the mainland, they would only achieve half of that title, either unmatched or undefeated.

In practical terms, whether possessing unmatched and undefeated perception, physique, spiritual roots, or soul, having even one of these traits would provide the possibility of reaching the Royal Path.

For this reason, after Yun Ye entered the state of the Great Disaster Descended, his strength would experience a significant leap.

Although this leap wasn’t as terrifying as when he was in Baishi Town due to his already high foundation, it still allowed Yun Ye to momentarily attain Fourth Stage perfect control over his spiritual energy.

The moment Yun Ye moved his thoughts, Yuexin sensed it. The celestial figure unleashed its final strength, using the Force of Freedom to seal the space and solidify time.

Sustaining the True Formation of Annihilation for an extended period had already consumed a considerable amount of True Essence from the eight True Immortal status cultivators. Now, with Yuexin intervening again, the effect was remarkable; the formation stopped working instantly, allowing Yun Ye, in that brief moment, to directly gather the Present Red Heaven and the Formation of Heaven’s Command, and slash with his sword—

Boom!

The eight-layer barrier shattered, and the unstoppable sword light cut through the Dao artifact, striking Lord of Luo’s chest, creating a black hole that swallowed him completely.

The Nine Lives Spirit Law and True Heaven Instrument continued to operate, propelling Yun Ye to reach near the strongest realm of Spirit Law, deducing Lord of Luo’s current condition…

No problem, his foundation was half-destroyed; Lord of Luo would not be able to return to the Red Heaven realm for a short period. Even if he did, his strength would drop to the level of Que Yu.

Not to be feared!

“It’s not the power of the Dao artifact!!!”

All the True Immortal status cultivators were furious. As they normally used Dao artifacts to block, they found themselves penetrated, indicating that the power Yun Ye had just used was not from a Dao artifact!

He had directly killed a True Immortal status cultivator with his own strength?

What a joke!

Lord of Luo was among the strongest of them, and the formation’s power was primarily concentrated around him. What had Ming Waiyang done…

Why was his strength limitless?!

“Die!”

Yun Ye coldly locked onto the remaining True Immortal status cultivators. Without any hesitation, he swung his sword again. He had only been able to unleash this power by condensing the forces of the Present Red Heaven and the Formation of Heaven’s Command. If he didn’t act quickly, the True Formation of Annihilation would destroy the super spirit veins!

“Impossible to resist!”

Even in the state of Ascension of the Heavenly Path, the nine True Immortal status cultivators knew the situation had shifted. What had happened?

In a brief thought, they ignited the entire true formation, forcibly counteracting the power of Yun Ye’s sword. Then all nine True Immortal status cultivators shattered the void to escape. However, with the Force of Freedom sealing them, their movements were slightly delayed. The sword light that wasn’t completely nullified struck like a divine judgment, piercing Spirit Dew Real Person and nailing him firmly in the void.

Yun Ye’s strike was truly powerful; the formation didn’t burn even a single True Immortal status cultivator, and relying only on the formation disc and Mystical Treasure was not enough to completely negate the attack.

“Damn it! Help me!!!”

“Pure World Holy Law!”

Facing life and death, Spirit Dew Real Person revealed fear and used all his means, risking everything to escape the deadly situation.

Just as he broke free, the Holy Lord suddenly turned around and issued a command that plunged him into darkness.

“Self-destruct, Spirit Dew friend!”

“Holy!!! Lord!!!”

“Boom!”

The infinitely expanding energy almost matched the scale of the entire super spirit formation. Yun Ye’s expression turned grim as he rushed to suppress it, helplessly watching the other eight True Immortal status cultivators flee.

The only solace he found was that the Dao artifact lost control after Spirit Dew Real Person’s death.

This Dao artifact also wanted to escape, but Yuexin forcibly intercepted it.

Having done all this, Yuexin fell to the ground, sitting there with her head down, the silver light spreading a chaotic and incomprehensible power that enveloped the area.

Naked time and space distortion appeared.

Once the Force of Freedom was depleted, Yuexin fell from the Mark of the Reflecting Moon, beginning to transform into an unknown Life Form.

Seeing this, Yun Ye felt a sudden surge of determination, even in Reversed Form. He reached out a hand, and the remaining Light Feathers of the Ming Rihui Sword shattered.

“——”

The sword light that sliced through concepts flashed by, extinguishing the radiance and enveloping Yuexin, quickly severing the corruption.

However, Yuexin had already turned into a semi-energy body, her physical form undergoing a qualitative change; attacking her spiritual body was equivalent to attacking Yuexin herself.

Her physical form quickly shattered!

Yun Ye waved his hand again, activating a healing Spirit Law formed from the fusion of water and fire, forcefully maintaining her existence, preventing Yuexin from dying.

“Form the array to replenish the Fourth Seat’s power!”

Dozens of Mystic Realm Ming Rihui cultivators arrived, forming a large formation, pouring healing life force and wood spirit energy into Yuexin’s body.

Yun Ye desperately calculated, and as the two dynasties faded, his Reversed Form gradually receded; he had to finish his calculations first!

“Success!”

“Restore!”

“Reverse evolution technique, return her to her divine body!”

All the silver light that Yuexin had dissipated, her physique and power underwent reverse evolution, returning to her form before receiving the Force of Freedom.

Even without the Force of Freedom, Yuexin remained an astonishing beauty. Under many gazes, her eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her silver eyes.

For a moment, even heaven and earth lost their color.

“It seems I can hold on for another hundred years.”

“No, five hundred years.”

After the great battle,

The entire world had been rewritten, reduced to ashes and lava, with air that was so toxic that even a single breath could be fatal to mortals.

Yun Ye stood atop the ruins, looking down into the abyss below, clenching his fist tightly.

Although he had driven back the ten True Immortal status cultivators,

the super spirit veins were almost completely ruined, their effectiveness reduced to less than half of what it was before the battle—a devastating loss!

“Let’s proceed with the cleanup; we can’t let the pollution persist.”
