Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 780 Angxiao: The situation is still under my control!

'He expended more energy than I did.'

Lu Yang exhaled deeply, the taste of blood lingering in his mouth, yet he remained calm: 'After all, I seized the initiative and caught him off guard.'

'After several exchanges, his mana consumption is definitely higher than mine. Before, when I used [Slay All Evil], I couldn't out-maneuver him in terms of mana, but now it's different. With the balance shifting, I might be able to surpass him in both mana and spells, thereby inflicting a minor injury on him.'

'Unfortunately, this is probably the limit.'

'[Angxiao] isn't stupid. If we hurt him again using this, he should realize the problem with his magical power and stop using the perception barrier to recover.'

To put it bluntly, [Angxiao] had been using mana to exchange for health.

However, once Angxiao realizes that this approach will only backfire, he will inevitably change his tactics, and then it will be Lü Yang who will be in a predicament.

Ultimately, Angxiao is the True Lord of the Cave Heaven Dharma.

As long as the cave remains standing, he is immortal and indestructible!
In comparison, Lü Yang was still at the early stage of the Golden Core realm in the Cave Heaven Method, while the Dharma Body Dao, although having reached the middle stage, did not possess immortality.

Comparing the two—

'If we were to truly fight to the death without holding back, the most likely outcome would be that I would die on the spot, while [Angxiao] would succumb to his injuries.'

Lu Yang's mind raced as he analyzed the situation.

However, Angxiao reacted even faster. He took a step back, his face clouded with smoke, and disappeared from Lü Yang's sight in the blink of an eye.

He actually voluntarily withdrew.

Of course, Angxiao couldn't possibly know the effect of "Slay All Evil," but at his level, with divine insight, he would have the ability to foresee calamities.

This time, he was outmaneuvered by Lü Yang, and his condition clearly declined. His all-out killing move failed to achieve its purpose, so he naturally wouldn't continue to waste time with Lü Yang. Even if he was likely to win in the end, there was no need for him to do so, and he couldn't possibly fight Lü Yang to the death.

"That beast."

In the present world, at the Immortal Pivot, the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] opened, and the figure of [Angxiao] stepped out, his narrow eyes, the only part exposed outside the smoke, filled with solemnity.

"He's too resilient."

What Lü Yang could judge, he could certainly judge as well, but in Angxiao's judgment, the situation was actually even worse.

Because there's something that nobody knows.

'I no longer possess the immortality that allowed me to remain undefeated!'

'This is clearly the consequence of my past misdeeds; the underworld has now blacklisted me. If my soul were to enter the underworld, I would surely die!'

That's why he tried to ask Lü Yang for the Sun and Moon Elixir, a unique longevity-promoting substance from the Star Palace, when he was in the Human World. The reason was that after leaving the Underworld, he had lost the ability to reincarnate. Now, he was just like Lü Yang, with only one life!

Otherwise, why would he keep using blue to replenish his health?

The reason he keeps using his perceptions to erase his injuries is ultimately because he can't afford to get hurt again. If he gets seriously injured and dies, then he's really dead!
Thinking of this, Angxiao couldn't help but sigh again.

'It's unstoppable.'

Now that things have come to this, it is impossible for me to suppress the other side by myself if I continue to maintain the current situation. The only way is to form an alliance with others and seek change.

Fortunately, he had already made plans.

Just then, a streak of light suddenly flew over, initially appearing as a dragon, but upon approaching, it transformed into a remarkable young man.

It is indeed a celestial dragon!

"Welcome, sir," Tianqiu said cautiously.

He knew what Angxiao had done, but the problem was that Angxiao's energy was now several times weaker than before, which did not seem like a victorious return.

'Does that mean we lost?'

Upon realizing this, Tianqiu's pupils trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Angxiao smiled and then nodded directly: "This person has indeed become a force to be reckoned with; no one below the Great True Lord can kill him." He had his own pride and naturally would not deny the facts.

As soon as the words were spoken, Tianqiu's breath hitched. Although he had already guessed it, hearing it from Angxiao's mouth was a completely different experience.

Thrilling? Shocking?
In the end, all that remains is silence.

Meanwhile, [Angxiao] was pondering in his heart:

'I already possess the Heavenly River Water. If I acquire an Earth Element Fruit, I can complete the three elements and then return to the position of Great True Lord.'

Affiliating with a celestial abode was a method he despised the most, because while relying on the status of others, one would also be subject to their control. However, now that the situation was beyond his control, he had to go further. He no longer had the freedom to choose, so he could only try to select some harmless partners.

Specifically, it's like a celestial dragon.

Ambitious but incompetent, lacking ability yet possessing considerable ambition, and ideally also facing the crisis of approaching the end of his lifespan, which can be used to blackmail him.

So who is like this?
Angxiao quickly came to his answer and smiled faintly: "Let's go to Jiangnan. There are some things we should probably talk about."

He did not choose the Holy Ancestor.

Although he came from the Holy Sect, he had no vested interests with True Monarch Feixue and others; on the contrary, their relationship was full of conflicts. Those who truly had vested interests with him were—

'On the contrary, it's rigid.'

"[Heavenly Fire] has suddenly been confirmed; that old geezer is probably going crazy right now. Perfect timing. He won't refuse to cooperate with us this time."

He alone is no longer able to kill Lü Yang.

If we add the mysterious person who cleared the way in the sea of ​​suffering, and that person succeeds, they will become another powerful figure, and he might end up being surrounded and killed.

He needs some fellow Daoists.

'Given the current state of affairs, that nameless beast has already caused far too many unforeseen events, which may not necessarily align with the expectations of all Dao Lords.'

'Perhaps there's a Dao Lord who wants to suppress these variables.'

But how can we suppress them?

The answer is undoubtedly the Great True Lord!

'No one in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm can suppress that beast, so in the near future, the restrictions on Great True Monarchs will inevitably be lifted!'

In Angxiao's view, the world situation in the Immortal Pivot is actually quite interesting.

Besides him, there is only one Great True Monarch in the world, and he is half-crippled. However, in reality, there are many people who are at the critical point of the middle stage of Golden Core.

'Baolian of the Pure Land, Jiayou of the Dao Court, Feixue of the Holy Sect, and the Old Mudfish from Overseas—if you really count them, all four of them have the potential to reach the late Golden Core stage. However, their paths are restricted by the Cave Heaven Technique, preventing them from reaching the necessary stage for a breakthrough, which is why they've remained stuck at the mid-Golden Core stage.'

Could this situation have arisen accidentally?

'Without a doubt, it was intentional!'

'The various Dao Lords deliberately created this situation to exert restraint, because the variables stirred up by a Great True Lord are bound to be greater than those of an ordinary True Lord.'

"In your expectations, these individuals were supposed to break through to the Great True Monarch realm during the Great Tribulation, a time of the most uncertainties, since the Great True Monarch realm is the most valuable pawn. However, with that nameless beast causing trouble, this breakthrough will have to be brought forward."

[Angxiao] cannot calculate exactly how much earlier.

However, it's always good to prepare in advance and plan ahead, which is his biggest advantage compared to that nameless beast.

'I can quickly break through to the later stages and become a Great True Lord.'

'And that beast is still a long way off. If he dares to follow the others and rashly try to break through by gathering three lines, he will surely die, without me even having to lift a finger.'

Thinking of this, Angxiao immediately felt much more at ease.

No problem!

The situation is still under my control!
