Deathly Energy!

If lifeforce energy embodied all that is life, then deathly energy embodied the end of all that is life. His inscriptions turned blacker than the Border Expanse and his eyes seemed to lose all forms of life. In his body, his heart was the only source of life throughout his body.

It remained flickering in defiance. It watched the deathly aura like an unyielding guardian protecting all creation.

”This!” The second-floor Heavenly Genesis expert was shocked. The raindrop was shrouded by an inky, blue aura. When he tried to sent his spiritual sense, qi sense, or heavenly sense outwards, it seemed to be ruthlessly devoured. This terrified him greatly.

For ten li, a shroud of deathly aura encapsulated everything within the Deluge Realm. This ten li grew to eleven li in a thousandth of a second.

”What the hell?” Yu Shi was momentary stunned. Since this battle, Yan Zaizen kept doing odd things that seemed out of his cultivation base limits. The near-instant regeneration, the two astral stars, and now a shroud of death. Normally, this aura should kill him instantly. Not even a user of a death concept would infuse their living body with an aura of death.

That's like courting death.

Quite literally.

He decided to end this quickly. The raindrop took a second to return to his left hand, but by that time, the aura of death already reached over eight hundred li.

”Die!” He sent the raindrop piercing towards Yan Zaizen. Unfortunately, despite piercing space, the moment the raindrop entered the shroud, he lost connection with it. ”What?!” Blood sprayed out of his mouth in ridiculous amounts.

His eyes, for the first time, revealed intense and deep fear. ”Get out!” He hurriedly shouted towards his men, but he received no response. His face turned horribly grim.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

The deathly aura continued to expand. Yu Shi had already tried attacking this aura but his attacks seemed to diminish with each strike. Not only that, it grew bigger in response. He started to feel worried about his realm's fate.

Suddenly, the shroud of death started to shrink. In a split second, it returned to its home - Yan Zaizen's lungs. Yan Zaizen was revealed but there was no raindrop or expert formation. Even the bodies of the experts were no longer present.

He clenched his fist, his eyes revealing white flames. ”Siphoning Shadow of Death...siphon all within the heavens...truly…” Yan Zaizen's deathly aura had siphoned heavenly genesis group's formation.

The energy in their bodies was completely siphoned taken after several seconds. Their physical bodies were restricted with soul energy and placed in the Meteor Ring. As for the Raindrop, Yan Zaizen isolated the ripple that intervened with his spatial laws.

The moment the raindrop entered his deathly aura, it was sent into his chaotic space. This momentary loss of connection allowed Yan Zaizen to send the raindrop into his Meteor Ring, immediately disconnecting the connection it had to Yu Shi.

This method was something he used back in Grux with the giant mountain. The raindrop's core was Yu Shi's pseudo spirit-rank armament, this was how he could control it. The frozen rain within the realm couldn't be gathered without a core medium. The moment it was taken, Yu Shi suffered an immense backlash.

From the moment Yan Zaizen saw that raindrop, he suspected this. After a moment, he thought of this plan. It may have been simple overall, but Yan Zaizen's battle experience wasn't great. Not the mention, his death form had severe limitations. If it absorbed a certain amount, his white flame will absorb the deathly law for self-preservation.

Not only that, his deathly aura couldn't be used for a vast amount of time after. Not to mention, if he uses his death form, he couldn't enter his life form until it completes its maximum allowed absorption.

He found this odd considering they were a part of his physique, but it seemed like they acted according to their own rules. It frustrated Yan Zaizen, but he couldn't actually affect this regardless of how much he tried.

As for now?

The previously deathly aura receded and converted into lifeforce energy that shined so brightly that he radiated light like a miniature sun. He could feel his reserves recover completely. Eyes flickering, he turned towards Yu Shi.

Yu Shi saw this and his face turned even grimmer. At the moment, he had suffered an intense backlash, all his forces disappeared somehow, and Yan Zaizen's energy reserves had restored. His aura was even more intense than before.

With a wave of his hands, his heavenly shrine emerged out from his dantian. It wasn't an actual palace but three upright pillars with a square foundation base beneath. The pillars were lined up in a straight line with one at the very center.

This shocked Yan Zaizen. He had seen heavenly shrines and knew their shapes and structures varied greatly but he never knew that a heavenly shrine could be brought out willingly by an expert.

”Be careful! He's igniting his heavenly shrine! He's going to sacrifice his condensed heavenly essence and floors for extraordinary but temporary power!” Pinaka warned.

”What?!” Yan Zaizen was stunned dumb. Why would a Heavenly Genesis expert destroy their shrine? Couldn't he just make a concession? He recalled Guan Yin, he expected Yu Shi to be similar.

Yan Zaizen was right and wrong. If it was any other expert in this situation, they would attempt to discuss before going all out. However, the Mortal Dao of Desire was essentially the representation of fixated madness. Anything he desired must be his through any means necessary, even sacrificing his own strength.

This was why this dao was especially troublesome. Not to mention, Guan Yin had a bestowed dao, her personal pride wasn't nearly as intense as Gu Yu who developed it. She could lower her head if needed. If Gu Yu had to suffer humiliation, he would be just as mad as Yu Shi. However, he found it beneath himself to deal with Guan Yin's lethal problem.

”Ahhh!” Yu Shi roared with madness. Extracting one's shrine came with an intense pain. However, if he ignited the heavenly essence condensed from heavenly law liquid while it was in his dantian, it would be an act of self-detonation.

Two of the three pillars started to burn with golden fire. Within this golden fire, the heavens seemed to be burning fiercely. Motes of blue light roamed in the golden fire. Each mote represented the laws of water.

Yu Shi's eyes turned completely blue.

”HMPH!” Yan Zaizen coldly snorted. He wasn't an idiot to allow his enemy to reach his peak state. Murderous light flashed in his eyes. He stomped forward.

The world cried.
