Shennong Sequence

At this moment, Gao Huan stood with his hands behind his back, a stern smile playing on his lips, his eyes sharp as knives.

'He doesn't seem like a reckless or foolish person.'

'It seems this person's pursuit of Xin Ruyin is due to the overwhelming aura surrounding her, which is why the Gao family is so persistent.'

Then Zhao Yun spoke, but his tone was calm and unhurried, without anger or anxiety, rather like chatting with an old friend:
"Fellow Daoist, what makes us special? And what are the secrets of this sect that have been sealed for a hundred years? I'd like to hear your explanation."

Zhao Yun knew that the most important thing at this moment was to buy time and wait for Xin Ruyin to arrive.

So every extra moment we chat adds up to a little more time.

After all, if the true nature is directly transferred to other clones, it would require the loss of innate essence to restore the complete original talent and strength!
As for the other, less advanced bodies, they can be easily created using the matter conversion method...

Therefore, the situation is not yet at the point where it is necessary to abandon the main body and escape.

"Hehe, if you know, you know. There's no need to waste time here."

Gao Huan's eyes turned cold, and his tone was full of impatience, "Hand over the innate jade, or I'll take action!"

Before he finished speaking, Gao Huan casually flicked his hand forward, and as the Daoist energy flowed,
Zhao Yun felt the space around him suddenly freeze, as if countless phantoms were emerging from the void—the majestic outlines of towering mountains and the powerful aura of surging rivers.
The myriad phenomena vanished, manifesting a completely new world before him. The laws of the universe intertwined, exuding an oppressive aura that suppressed all things, as if to trap Zhao Yun to death in this man-made world!
With just one glance, Zhao Yun knew that Gao Huan was on the path of Foundation Establishment:

First, one must establish a foundation in the earth, then travel through all realms, collect the power of mountains and rivers from countless worlds to form a foundation, and then seek out enough variables of the path to temper oneself before finally advancing to the level of establishing a foundation in the Great Dao!
Such a foundation is indeed terrifyingly solid!
Zhao Yun's heart grew even heavier, and he smiled bitterly to himself: "I'm really not good at magical duels..."

But Zhao Yun remained calm. He raised his hand and flipped it over, revealing a faint gray light in his palm—it was his ever-present clone: ​​the Spirit-Slaying Insect.
Also known as: the worm of the end times!

At this moment, after several years of nurturing, this demonic insect was no longer alone, but had split into a small group of twelve smaller insects.
Moreover, with his other self as the core, their Daoist essences are interconnected, forming a special formation.

In an instant, a strange fluctuation spread from the swarm of End-of-Day Insects.
It was an aura that devoured all living beings and dissolved the essence of the Dao; it signified the decline of all laws and the withering of all paths; it was also a sense of desolation as heaven and earth declined and the Great Dao returned to silence.
This aura spread around Zhao Yun like a tide, and wherever it passed, even the illusory images of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers manifested by Gao Huan trembled slightly, and the flow of the Dao slowed down a bit.

Then,

Whether it's a surging celestial phenomenon or a towering, illusory mountain,

As long as it is not formed from physical matter, it will gradually disintegrate under the counteracting force of the power of the end times!

It transformed into wisps of pure essence of heaven and earth, dissipating like a thin mist among the vast mountains and rivers, leaving no trace of its former power...

Zhao Yun was indeed not good at magical combat.
The means to save one's life are absolutely top-notch!

This degenerate insect alone is enough to pull everyone to the same dimension as itself!

That is the transcendent state of "transcendent and forbidden, transcendent and profound." However, if one is merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator, relying on the world membrane on the surface of their body to isolate them from the erosion of the Dharma-ending Age, the use of their own internal energy, such as mana, will not be too problematic. But if they want to use supernatural powers and spells on the outside world, then there is no spiritual energy in the outside world to draw upon...

Furthermore, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot isolate themselves from the corruption of the Dharma End, and their internal mana will flow out like a river bursting its banks!
And I deeply experienced the bone-chilling fear of "being in the Dharma-ending Age"...

"I underestimated you!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Gao Huan's eyes, and his tone carried a mixture of surprise and inquiry, "You can actually cultivate and even control such a strange insect as the End-of-Day Insect. I'm curious about what exactly your foundation in the Great Dao is?"

He paused, then continued:
"I've also looked into your past. While it wasn't exactly amazing, it was certainly quite eventful!"

However, you and Xin Ruyin had never crossed paths before.
It wasn't until a few years ago, when you suddenly underwent a complete transformation, that you gradually started to have contact with her again.

To be able to reach this level in such a short time, and to be able to control the End-of-Day Worm, making it move according to your will...

There truly is a great secret hidden within you, and within all of you!

But as soon as Gao Huan finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged, and the Daoist energy flowing around his body became increasingly rapid!

"But what if it's the end of the Dharma? All things in heaven and earth are constantly being reborn and will continue to exist. How can they be cut off by a wisp of the end of the Dharma?"

Having established the foundation for the Great Dao, the Dao I cultivate breathes in harmony with Heaven and Earth!

How could this magnificent landscape and its profound laws be so easily destroyed by your degenerate power!

Gao Huan was just stalling for time!

With a wave of his hand, the illusory mountains and rivers of the "vast and boundless" world that had just imprisoned Zhao Yun suddenly shrank!
Although the scope has been condensed, it has also completed the transformation from "illusory shadow" to "substantial existence"!

This change actually weakened the power of the End of Dharma of the Spirit-Slaying Insect (End of Dharma Insect). The ethereal Daoist rhyme was easily dissolved, but the material foundation of heaven and earth was not so easily eroded!

However, "End-of-Day Worm" is just another name for the Spirit-Severing Worm. Its true core ability is not only aimed at Daoist principles, but also at "devouring all sentient beings in the world"!
Since Gao Huan had traversed all the heavens and refined the foundation of his Great Dao using the methods of the Earth, this extraordinary phenomenon of his Great Dao must also contain the imprints of myriad spirits from multiple worlds.
This kind of Great Dao Law, which has been "nourished by all living beings", is more attractive to the End-of-Day Worm, and devouring it can better touch its original talent!
In addition, the twelve demonic insects surrounding Zhao Yun at this moment were originally there to collect all spirits and nourish the Yellow Sprout Seed!
Zhao Yun then directly bestowed upon himself the "Spirit Devouring" talent of his clone, the Spirit-Slaying Insect, through the deep connection between his clone and his true nature!

In an instant, a vast "spirit-devouring" power, based on the endless magical power within his own inner world, transformed into an invisible spirit-devouring vortex and erupted from his body!

The surrounding mountains and rivers, which Gao Huan had solidified again, remained stable, but the spirituality, creation, and even the Daoist charm nurtured within them spontaneously surged toward Zhao Yun like a tide!

Then, Zhao Yun opened his mouth like a whale sucking in water, taking in all the spiritual essence of the mountains and rivers, and then swallowing it into his own inner world!

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding majestic mountains began to wither and weather at a visible speed, eventually turning into dust that scattered into the void, presenting a desolate scene of regional ecological depletion! (End of Chapter)
