Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 772 I am now terrifyingly strong!
Mu Changsheng was genuinely frightened.

He watched as Lü Yang transformed into Angxiao right before his eyes, already pondering when he had fallen into the trap of prejudice.

But he quickly reacted.

'Sir, it can't be Angxiao. My book on attaining higher levels of enlightenment is still with him. So, is it a transformation technique? Or some kind of mysterious attainment system?'

Mu Changsheng had no idea.

At the same time, Lü Yang was enjoying his current state. Just now, the rules he had inscribed within his Dharma body were actually quite simple.

I am Angxiao

This was just a simple attempt, a test, and the result was exactly as he expected—[Dalinmu] actually responded to him.

However, this change only lasted for a moment. The next second, a strong resistance came from the other end of [Great Forest Tree], mixed with the anger of a third party. It seemed that it wanted to angrily curse him, but because it did not know his name, it only raged.

Immediately afterwards, the smoke and dust dissipated.

Lu Yang's figure reappeared. He raised his hand, glanced at the wisps of smoke swirling around his fingertips, and sighed, "[Angxiao], you truly are worthy of your reputation."

【Angxiao】has too much control over 【Dalinmu】.

How strong is this control? So strong that the Great Forest Tree is only devoted to him; otherwise, it wouldn't have withdrawn its power after realizing something was wrong.

'Not only [Angxiao].'

'Old Dragon Lord, Flying Snow, and Gang Xing—these first-rank True Lords could probably all do this, preventing me from stealing the power of their positions.'

But they're the only ones left.

Upon realizing this, Lü Yang immediately altered the rules within his body. The flames around him shifted, weaving together a rich tapestry of colors before finally merging into his Dharma body.

The next second, Mu Changsheng, who was not far away, watched as his [Boundless Heaven] suddenly appeared on its own and shone a beam of light, making Lu Yang's figure gradually become illusory. The power of his position, which originally belonged only to him, was now being divided in half by the other party out of thin air!
No, even more.

This change even filled Mu Changsheng with a sense of dread, because he could feel that [Wuyoutian] had been under his control from beginning to end.

It was neither out of control nor affected by external factors.

However, Guowei inexplicably responded to Lü Yang's call without the slightest resistance, just as he would respond to him on ordinary days.

Is there any royal law for this?

Fortunately, Lü Yang had no interest in [Wu You Tian]. Under Mu Changsheng's furious gaze, he casually played with it a few times before discarding it like trash.

Lu Yang opened his eyes, a hint of understanding appearing in them: 'It's still the [Inscription of Heaven Chapter], just a change in usage, yet it has such a miraculous effect.'

Both times he borrowed power from a higher level, what would he have done in the past? Undoubtedly, he would have forcibly inscribed it using the [Inscription of Heaven], resulting in a much less efficient and less effective process; the borrowed power would have been less valuable than what was used. However, now he achieved his goal simply by modifying the logic.

Consumption? While it's not negligible, it's insignificant compared to the immense power gained.

'Indeed, the easiest thing to change is oneself.'

【Inscription of Heaven】Inscriptions are profound and can directly impose rules on heaven and earth. At first glance, they seem very strong, but the stronger the rule, the more difficult it is to impose.

However, imposing rules on oneself is different.

Not only has the difficulty level generally decreased, but even some rules that are clearly beyond common sense can be enforced if they only apply to themselves.

There's still a lot of room for development!

'I've only mastered one method so far, which is to modify the logic to equate me with another True Lord, thereby tricking the corresponding rank into responding.'

Don't underestimate this tactic.

Every orthodox attainment, even if not the supreme one, still has its unique aspects, just as [Covering Lamp Fire] can restrain [Great Forest Wood].

Lü Yang's method is almost equivalent to controlling multiple fruit positions, allowing him to adapt to different situations and change them at will. In this situation, when fighting against the enemy, the tactical tolerance is almost unlimited, because he can make up for his own shortcomings by mastering different fruit positions.

'I am now terrifyingly strong!' Lu Yang felt the surging power within his body and changed positions several times, from [Wall Soil] to [Heavenly River Water] and then to [Mulberry Wood].
But just how strong is it?

Lu Yang recalled the "Five Ranks of True Lords" system he had once established, and after some thought, he concluded: 'It's probably still a little short of the first rank.'

However, the difference is not significant.

Or rather, he has barely reached the first-class level, and coincidentally, this level has two very good reference points.

Old Dragon Lord and Flying Snow True Lord.

According to Lü Yang's self-assessment, his current combat strength should be similar to that of the Old Dragon Lord, and he might even have the upper hand if he went all out.

On the contrary, he estimated that he could only manage a draw at best against True Monarch Flying Snow.

After all, even among those of the same caliber, there are differences.

'The Old Dragon Lord's strength lies in his supreme status of [Great Ocean Water], but his application of that status doesn't have the same feel as [Soaring Sky] and Flying Snow.'

'At best, he's about the same as I am now.'

'As for True Monarch Feixue, his mastery of the [Stream Water] has reached a supreme level, but unfortunately, his innate fruition is insufficient, preventing him from attaining the Supreme Fruition.'

After the two sides settled their differences, they finally sat down at the same table with the old dragon king.

At most, they might have a slight advantage due to stronger combat awareness and higher fighting spirit, but there isn't really a significant difference between them.

In comparison, Angxiao is different. With the Supreme Fruit and the Supreme Domain, he is basically fully equipped below the Great True Monarch level. Lu Yang asked himself that he was still a step behind. He could fight and even hold out for a long time, but in the end, he would probably lose.

But this is already pretty good.

Moreover, the use of [Heavenly Fire] is not limited to direct combat. Sometimes, even if you can't beat them, you can easily outmaneuver them like a dog.

You agree, right, [Angxiao]?

"And I'm still missing the final step. I haven't taken that crucial step to advance to the First-Rank True Lord level. Compared to [Angxiao], I still have room for improvement."

In Lü Yang's view, this step is the highest realm.

To put it bluntly, whether one can achieve the profound sublimation of one's fruition and ascend to the highest realm is undoubtedly an important indicator of whether one can step into the realm of a first-class True Lord.

"So strictly speaking, only Feixue and Angxiao have truly completed this qualitative leap. The Old Dragon Lord and I only barely crossed the threshold thanks to our foundation in the Supreme Fruit position. In reality, our application of the Fruit position can only be described as reaching its peak, but we haven't yet broken through its limits."

Lü Yang also has a plan for this.

He had given up on Angxiao, but it was different with True Monarch Feixue. Perhaps he could gain something from a proper exchange and discussion with him in the future.

If he could find out how True Monarch Feixue broke through the limits, there would be a possibility of replicating it.

Composing himself, Lü Yang turned to look at Mu Changsheng.

Upon seeing this, Mu Changsheng immediately revealed a fiery and eager look in his eyes, as if he really wanted it but was afraid of being rejected, so he dared not say it.

In the end, it was Lü Yang who took the initiative to speak.

"Thank you for waiting, fellow Daoist."

Seeing the celestial being he so deeply revered speaking to him so kindly, Mu Changsheng quickly shook his head: "Not at all, not at all!"

Seeing this, Lü Yang didn't bother with any more words and simply unfurled the righteous banner.

He did not intend to take Mu Changsheng as a banner spirit, so he simply invited the Demon-Slaying True Man out, and then opened the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] to summon the sword path.

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon seeing Lü Yang's exposed greatsword, Mu Changsheng pounced on it, his face showing a greedy expression, as if he wanted to devour it whole.
