Chapter 325: Awakening Tomorrow
The super formation covers the entire Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh, making it impossible to say that it cannot suppress chaos.
However, doing so would consume massive amounts of spirit energy, putting the sect at a disadvantage that would be hard to bear.
The key point is that this becomes a game of strategy.
Whoever can’t hold back from tearing apart the phenomenon first allows the other side to sit back and enjoy the results, greatly reducing spirit energy consumption!
Therefore, unless in a state of desperation, neither side will attempt to forcefully break the phenomenon. They will do their best to accumulate advantages for themselves.
But now, Yun Ye has destroyed their only chance to dismantle the three great forms of chaos; they have reached a near-death situation. They cannot wait until their power is reduced to only twenty percent before they join forces to break through the phenomenon. This poses risks, and they value their lives too much to allow it.
When they dispatched two Chiefs, they had already made a decision: to directly break through the phenomenon and force their way through!
However, even at this stage, the order of actions made them hesitate.
They could still stall for more time.
Before the two Chiefs slay the new Dao wielder, they could take a moment to observe.
All the Powerful Figures watched the battle unfold. A distance of a thousand miles meant nothing to them; those who had cultivated to the Mystic Realm had generally reached the pinnacle of Spirit Sense Law. Therefore, a distance of a thousand miles was well within their observation range.
Figures like Lan Wuyin, who mastered Spirit Law at the Mystic Realm, could even launch attacks capable of instantly slaying opponents at the pinnacle of law realms from a thousand miles away. However, he had other considerations, which is why he didn’t act immediately.
The Nine Lives Spirit Law Classics, the new Dao weapon, and various techniques with overwhelming combat power—these were all things Lan Wuyin could not give up.
(In the gaze of so many System Masters, trying to seize Xiang Ying’s body is indeed challenging; I definitely need all seven paths to gather first.)
(I should directly break through the phenomenon and use the authority of the super formation to complete the eighth path… As for the disadvantage of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, I can make up for it with my strength later, which would actually maximize the success rate.)
Lan Wuyin began to gather his power.
He started to resonate forcefully with six external puppets.
Although the Mystic Realm figures present could break through the phenomenon and contact the super formation, their capabilities were still different from his.
The puppets he created could act on his behalf, allowing the external super formation to actively cooperate with him under their control.
This connection was not something that a few life tokens or avatars could compare to; he just needed a little time to sense the external puppets!
…
The space tore apart, and two figures emerged from the black fissure.
They crossed a thousand miles directly to arrive before Yun Ye.
As soon as they arrived, a massive spirit energy barrier enveloped the area, with pale blue flames igniting, briefly isolating the space.
“Formations activate! Destroy and escape!”
Yun Ye cast his spell, triggering the full power of the formation, exploding the gray freezing force entirely.
“Just a small trick!”
The two Chiefs unleashed their power, easily smashing through the formation, but it indeed delayed them for a few seconds.
After this move, Yun Ye had already crossed the pale blue flames and vanished from the area.
When he reappeared, he was already a hundred miles away, almost at the speed of tearing through space.
“Who?”
Yun Ye landed near a small team of cultivators from the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, consisting of two prodigies at the pinnacle of law realms.
Their expressions changed as they unleashed powerful Spiritual Laws to stop Yun Ye, who had just emerged from the underworld.
But Yun Ye was too powerful; his aura burned fiercely.
Phenomenon! The great sun hung in the sky!
Qi! The heavens come to my position!
Life Force! Power of the Body Covers All!
Elevation of Spiritual Roots!
Burning Spiritual Roots!
Essence of Annihilation!
Yun Ye exploded with full power, and within three moves, he crushed the heads of the two prodigies in his hands. Immediately afterward, a large number of white threads entwined their souls, transforming their bodies into puppets.
Although defeating prodigies seemed easy for him, in front of a peerless opponent, prodigies were merely prey, unable to withstand even a few moves; Yun Ye was no exception.
Above the pinnacle of law realms, the Mystic Realm’s power geometrically increased. Generally, even a peerless figure could only contend with cultivators who had just stepped into the Mystic Realm. Once they progressed even slightly to Minor Achievement in the Mystic Realm, a peerless figure could no longer compete.
The two Chiefs pursuing Yun Ye were both at Minor Achievement in the Mystic Realm, their power completely overshadowing the peerless figures.
Currently, Yun Ye was still too weak and could only strive to enhance his strength.
“Xiang Ying, what are you doing? Do you know what the consequences of your actions are?!”
The remaining pinnacle law realm cultivators were terrified and retreated wildly, realizing they were no match for him!
They had to escape!
“Next is the pinnacle of law realms… Hmm, is there not enough time?”
Boom!
The two arriving Chiefs shattered the area, but Yun Ye, who also had mastery over spatial abilities, had already vanished without a trace.
They exchanged glances and summoned their Treasures, using them to set up a spatial sealing formation that directly banned all spatial abilities in the area.
This was certainly effective against them as well, but in practical terms, the escape speed in the Mystic Realm was at least dozens of times faster than in the law realms. Even if Yun Ye reached incredible speed with his spiritual body, it wouldn’t be sustainable.
Yun Ye fell from the underworld, forcibly expelled.
He hadn’t mastered spatial techniques through study, nor did he spontaneously grasp spatial arts due to his realm.
He simply possessed Nether Fire, which allowed him to communicate with the underworld through his Perfect Spirit, relying purely on the power of the Nether Fire when blocked.
This compared to the spatial blockade set by the two Mystic Realm cultivators using their Treasures was far too weak.
“This is not good; I’ve entered a death loop.”
Yun Ye frowned.
The reason he hadn’t turned Ling Xu and the others into puppets before activating the phenomenon wasn’t due to their fleeting acquaintance.
With multiple System Masters surveying the battlefield from above, if he acted against those from the Cloud Heavenly Sect ahead of time, it would reveal his issues to them.
Moreover, there wasn’t enough time; the activation of the phenomenon required spirit energy. Even though he had set up some charging beforehand, it would still take a moment to initiate the phenomenon.
For various reasons, he had fallen into a death loop.
Right now, without puppets to set up a formation and wanting to fight against the two Mystic Realm powerful figures was simply seeking his own demise, with no chance of victory.
It seemed he had to rely on the Dao instruments. Although he had grown significantly, the gap in power was still too great. The centuries of foundation could not be surpassed in just three to fifty years.
“Die!”
Chief Chihuo clenched his fist, and blazing white flames surged forth everywhere. The power of the flames was so strong that it turned everything it touched into steam.
As a family that followed the path of a single Spiritual Root and had advanced to the Mystic Realm, Chief Chihuo had an extremely deep accumulation.
The strength of his methods, even when using only Fire Spiritual Roots, was equivalent to the power of Dual Attributes.
The torrential heavenly fire descended, instantly burning everything.
Though Yun Ye attempted various attacks to defend himself, he was still powerless. This was Mystic Law, this was ultimate destructive capacity.
Unlike Hai Hao and Xie Fei’er, who had only a trace of Mystic Law secrets, Chief Chihuo possessed complete suppression. Even Annihilation could only diminish a small portion of the power due to the vast difference in power levels, unable to change the ultimate imbalance.
Yun Ye had no other choice but to hold on to Tomorrow.
“Long time no see, Master!”
A seven or eight-year-old girl, the Woman in Red, appeared by his side.
Yun Ye nodded slightly. Although she was just a little girl, having her by his side filled him with an indescribable sense of safety. “We are going to fight together again!”
“Master, let’s end this quickly; otherwise, all these Dao instruments will be quite troublesome.” The pure red jade-like eyes of Tomorrow reflected the sky, filled with a dense network of Dao instruments.
As the super sect that had dominated Huangzhou for a thousand years, the Dao instruments of the Cloud Heavenly Sect and Dream Ze Sect had actually reached the level of state-level Dao instruments, containing far more echoes than Tomorrow.
However, unfortunately, while they far surpassed, they had not reached another level—national-level.
In this situation, Tomorrow’s power could actually suppress the Dao Master’s Dao instruments instead.
Of course, that was assuming a single Dao instrument.
There were five Dao instruments present, and if they all worked together, they would fall into the same predicament they faced in Baishi Town, needing to fight desperately to sever the chains of order.
“Dual Slice Strike!”
Yun Ye swung his sword, and the white blazing fire vanished in an instant, striking at the concept that locked onto Chief Chihuo.
The latter frowned and summoned his own Dao instrument.
His Dao instrument was a silver cauldron, heavy and ornate.
To deal with a Dao instrument, one could only use a Dao instrument in return.
Boom!
The silver cauldron cracked and disintegrated upon impact, shattered by a single strike.
Although he was Chief, as long as he wasn’t a Dao Master, most echoes would be absorbed by a Dao Master.
In other words, Chief Chihuo’s Dao instrument was far from state-level, and facing the current Tomorrow, its immediate destruction was inevitable.
“Absorbing Dao instrument, decomposing rules, obtaining a total of 930 echoes.”
A flash of information passed by, then faded away.
“……”
The Dao instrument scattered with the wind, completely disintegrating.
Chief Chihuo’s expression stiffened as he conducted multiple probes in disbelief.
But he failed.
The Dao instrument had disappeared completely; it had truly been annihilated!
“I want you dead! Xiang Ying!!!”
Anger was not enough to describe Chief Chihuo’s feelings.
How important was the Dao instrument?
It was direct proof of loyalty to the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect!
Without the Dao instrument, no matter how powerful a cultivator was, they could never become Chief. The Guardian title existed for this very reason!
After this battle, regardless of the outcome, he would definitely retreat to the second line, becoming merely a lowly Guardian, with no right to lead the sect any longer!
Never again would he have the possibility of advancing further!
The raging fire of anger nearly consumed Chief Chihuo, turning his eyes blood-red, as violent magical energy surged from his body.
This emotion perfectly aligned with Chief Chihuo’s cultivation methods.
As the magical energy overflowed, a demonic shadow formed under the convergence of thousands of flames, which, despite being flames, emanated an icy chill.
Chief Chihuo pointed into the distance, his tone uncontrollably mad:
“Fire Evil Spirit Law Manifestation—Burning Fury!”
From Yun Ye’s perspective, he saw a large portion of Chief Chihuo’s magical energy evaporate, and immediately afterward, strange fluctuations appeared around him.
The Mystic Law was about to activate!
At that brief moment, the Rebirth Book in Yun Ye’s mind flipped open, and the power of the Nine Lives Spirit Law Classics awakened, giving him a sense of great trouble.
If he did nothing, flames would ignite within him, turning him to ashes from the inside out!
Yun Ye quickly stabbed his sword into his chest, activating the power to annihilate concepts, causing the previously gathered strange power to disappear instantly.
As long as no law was activated, there would be no problem!
Only Heart Fire covered him.
Blue streams of water flowed gently.
The star ring adorned him.
Life force surged within.
Yun Ye swung his sword once more, directly cutting through space, making the conceptual power fall instantly onto Chief Chihuo’s body—
Boom!
Chief Chihuo exploded, reduced to merely a projection.
“He’s not simple; crush him!”
The Chief of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, Shi Cai, also took action, as a giant grinding stone descended, intent on suppressing Yun Ye and crushing him.
Chief Chihuo stood further in the sky, expelling a sword made of pure flames.
“Draw the yang energy of heaven and earth, fall!”
“Treasure second release!”
Yun Ye’s expression changed dramatically.
The release of the Treasure was already incredibly powerful, and the effect of the second release could unleash a cultivator’s strength by several times.
Facing this attack with his current power, even with the Dao Sword of Tomorrow, he could not completely annihilate it; the aftershock alone would turn him to vapor!
“Dual Slice Strike!”
“Form Release!”
Yun Ye raised his sword, and immediately, crimson threads spread, flowing into his body.
His pupils turned red, his black hair was stained fiery red, flowing violently in the wind, revealing an aura completely different from that of the Three Great Methods!
“What is this? The power of the Dao instrument has spread throughout his body?”
This scene left Chief Chihuo and Shi Cai momentarily stunned; it was a phenomenon they had never seen before. But as they witnessed it, they both felt a sense of holiness and dignity—
This state was definitely not ordinary; it was far more than just a change in appearance!
Yun Ye swung his sword, and the grinding stone shattered on the spot.
He leapt up, charging at the two.
In addition to the explosive power of the Dual Slice Strike that severed concepts, the Moon Ring spun rapidly in his hand, gathering light and heat.
Boom!
The two forces erupted simultaneously, sending Shi Cai crashing down, but he escaped with his life, only losing his left hand.
“This beast’s Dao instrument can directly attack us, and the Mystic Law cannot block it. Do not reveal your true form!”
Shi Cai said grimly, swallowing a spirit pill as his hand rapidly healed.
Boom!
Yun Ye swung his sword again, almost grazing Shi Cai’s face, but he only struck the projection; both Chiefs grew wary and promptly gave up on using their ultimate moves, refusing to confront Yun Ye directly.
The Dao instrument was truly terrifying—once the triggering rules were activated, and the target was within the range of interference, it meant instant death, with no discussion.
Yun Ye’s Dao instrument, unlike those from the Luo Dynasty, did not establish a ‘destruction rule.’ The power he wielded to slay beings in the Mystic Realm was purely from the Dao instrument’s ‘Dual Slice Strike.’ This true name power could sever concepts and rules; the more echoes it produced, the stronger its effect.
However, this belonged to a cutting strike, not the Dao instrument’s annihilation, so it could be avoided. Even though Yun Ye had already enhanced this true name with five thousand echoes in Baishi Town, it merely increased the power; it did not transform it from a cutting strike into an annihilation.
“Troublesome…”
Yun Ye utilized Qushuang’s power to draw the puppet’s strength into himself. At that brief moment, he stepped into the law realms, gaining the unique Spirit Sense, life force, and magical energy of the law realms. His strength surged a hundredfold, and he directly determined the true positions of the two beings in the Mystic Realm through the Nine Lives Spirit Law.
“Dual Slice Strike—”
“Slice!”
