Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 691 Heaven's Way and the Giant Rat

Using the supreme method of the "Divine Firmament Nine Heavens Profound Sky Undying True Scripture", he drew upon the destructive thunder power of his own Divine Firmament Dao Fruit, like billions of purple-gold thunder hammers, repeatedly forging and tempering that crimson origin.

Each thunderous strike triggered an even fiercer resistance from the Dao Fruit, unleashing a torrent of pure Yang firepower resembling crimson magma. This firepower clashed violently with the purple-gold lightning, only to be forcibly contained and fused under the undying Daoist aura of the Xuanqiong.

This process is extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake could result in a backlash from the Dao Fruit and the destruction of the grotto-heaven.

His left arm, held in fury, held the Star Spirit Banner. Within the banner, the Great Light Authority, already unraveled, shone brightly, forming a resilient and harmonizing barrier that continuously smoothed the destructive energy turbulence caused by the collision of thunder and fire, while simultaneously absorbing the essence of earth fire to replenish its consumption.

With his right arm shrouded in icy desolation, his fingertips shimmered with mysterious light as he formed the "Lin" seal. Entering the "Lin" state, he precisely controlled the output of every bit of magical power and the landing point of the lightning with a state of supreme detachment, ensuring that the refining process proceeded in a controlled frenzy.

The entire ley line space was illuminated with bizarre and fantastical light, and the roar of thunder and fire mingled day and night, as if a new star was being forged.

The sooner you refine it, the sooner you'll feel at ease.

Xu Yunfan naturally wouldn't hesitate.
-
Meanwhile, within the realm of Attila, the flames of war have spread from the scorched earth of the western wilderness to the shattered ruins of divine kingdoms throughout the entire continent of Attila.

Under the secret guidance of Zhang Ziyang, the native Taiyi Savior of Suffering and Calamity, Lu Chuan led the disciples of the Yuanshi Sect to engage in countless bloody tug-of-wars with the invaders from the Wancheng Sword Sect, relying on the increasingly perfect Zhou Tian Teleportation Array.

As for why there is such an incongruous divine position as Taiyi Jiuku Jiunan Tianzun in this world, Lu Chuan said he didn't know, only that the True Lord was doing it.

Ask no questions, say no more, just get to work.

The Wancheng Sword Sect has deployed its main force of disciples from the Arctic Peak as its vanguard, among whom a Foundation Establishment Perfection sword cultivator named Ling Jue has attracted particular attention.

Ling Jue was tall and slender, with a cold and stern face like ice that had stood for millennia, and his white and gold sword robe was spotless.

His aura was truly profound, and his steps seemed to tread upon frozen time, making the surrounding scenery appear slightly sluggish due to his presence.

Its sword intent is derived from the "Eternal Sword Domain" of the Supreme True Monarch of Eternal Heavenly Light's ultimate technique, "Eternal Heavenly Light Sword Manual".

This sword intent is not about pursuing ultimate sharpness or destruction, but about achieving stillness.

Once the sword domain is unleashed, the spacetime within a hundred feet radius seems to be encased in viscous amber. The air becomes stagnant like iron, and the light flows slowly. Every move of the opponent, even the flow of thought and the circulation of magic power, becomes extremely difficult, as if it has been slowed down.

Ling Jue himself moved as usual in this stagnant area. The thin sword in his hand, named Han Yuan, transformed into streaks of platinum light that froze time, precisely targeting the flaws exposed by his opponent due to his slowness.

Lu Chuan and his group suffered heavy losses every time they tried to ambush him after entering the Eternal Sword Domain. Their movements were slowed down, and Ling Jue easily broke through their formation, resulting in the loss of several Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If Zhang Ziyang hadn't used the power of incense and divine principles at the crucial moment to trigger the remaining Heavenly Dao rules of Attila and slightly disrupt the Sword Domain, Lu Chuan would likely have paid an even greater price.

Xu Yunfan, who was sitting on Shenxiao Peak refining his Dao Fruit, occasionally swept his divine sense across the battlefield of Attila, only glancing at Ling Jue's performance with indifference.

In his eyes, although this young man's sword intent had grasped some of the essence of the eternal light of heaven and followed the path of freezing time and space, his potential seemed astonishing, but in reality, he had already reached his limit.

"It's just following the old path of eternal light."

Xu Yunfan had a slight thought, but did not take any action to intervene.

If Lu Chuan were to be hacked to death right now, it wouldn't be worth his attention.

"As long as True Lord Tianguang is alive, his Dao will stand in the way. Even if Ling Jue has talent, he can only stop here. No matter how strong his sword intent is, it is ultimately just imitation. He has lost the true meaning of proving the Dao and will never be able to ascend to the position of True Lord with this Dao fruit."

This is the cruel truth of the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm: the Dao Fruit is unique and occupied by predecessors. If newcomers cannot find a new path or surpass their predecessors, they will never have a chance to rise.

No matter how stunning Lingjue's Eternal Sword Domain was, it could not escape the cage drawn by True Monarch Tianguang. Ten years passed in the roar of refining Dao Fruits and the smoke of battles within the realm.

The changes in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm seemed to have nothing to do with him. As a True Lord, he naturally sat high in the Nine Heavens and was qualified to escape the entanglements of worldly affairs.

When the last trace of the violent origin of the Blazing Sun Dao Fruit was completely subdued, it transformed into a gentle yet powerful crimson flame, perfectly merging into the core of Xu Yunfan's Purple-Gold Core in his dantian. As it blended seamlessly with the Divine Firmament Thunder and the Undying Dao Rhyme of the Profound Firmament, an unprecedentedly vast power instantly filled his limbs and bones.

The cultivation level value on the attribute panel suddenly jumped up and settled steadily at 2000.

However, just as this power reached its peak, a sudden change occurred.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that had naturally gathered around Xu Yunfan suddenly seemed to encounter an invisible barrier and spontaneously bypassed him.

The howling winds that had been raging atop Shenxiao Peak instantly fell silent, and the sea of ​​clouds froze solid.

A cold and vast sense of rejection, originating from the very nature of this place, descended silently like an invisible shackle.

He felt as if he were isolated from the entire Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, becoming a lonely island in a vast ocean.

Looking up at the sky, though it was clear and blue, he could vaguely sense an extremely oppressive aura of destruction brewing and swirling above, as if countless invisible gazes, filled with disgust and judgment, were locking onto him.

It wasn't hostility directed at individuals, but rather a kind of instinctive rejection stemming from the world, a striking mark placed on a large rat.

Excessive exploitation of the origins of heaven and earth without any substantial return has been implicitly regarded by the Heavenly Dao of this realm as a parasite that needs to be eliminated.

Going a step further, it might not just be rejection, but a direct and devastating divine retribution, blacklisting them.

"I see……"

Xu Yunfan's eyes flashed with purple-gold lightning, and he instantly understood why the old True Lords such as Pudu True Lord and Dongming True Lord sometimes seemed hesitant and restrained. He also understood why those True Lords often talked about merit.

The significance of these two words in this world is not merely an empty title, but rather the key to offsetting this label of "big rat" and maintaining harmonious coexistence with heaven and earth.

Plunder is necessary for survival, but if one only takes and never gives, one will eventually be rejected by heaven and earth.

Cultivators truly need to transcend heaven and earth, and live against the will of heaven and earth.

But before you have the strength, you naturally need to build good relationships.

In a flash, Xu Yunfan naturally spotted an excellent opportunity.

If the Atila Realm is successfully sacrificed to the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, it will be an excellent opportunity to obtain a massive amount of merit from heaven and earth and wash away the label.

Red name tags are unacceptable!
The time has come.

Xu Yunfan's gaze was like lightning, piercing through the endless void and locking onto the Aitila Realm.

Zhang Ziyang's telepathic message also arrived at the opportune moment.

"Yunfan, all the remaining gods in the Attila Realm have been eliminated or suppressed. The network of incense and vows has covered Xiye and 30% of the broken divine kingdoms. My foundation is solid. I am only waiting for the opportunity to be guided to the Taihua Fruition."
