1117 Immortal (1/2)

Crack! Kaboom!

Although half of it had turned illusory, the face in the sky did not disperse and seemed to be roaring to vent its emotions, showing abominable emotions in the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

Whoosh whoosh!

Gentle winds blew.

At the bottom of the fifty-kilometer pit, traces of ash converged and agglomerated into a human form—Fang Yuan!

Sizzle!

The dark clouds churned, and the face appeared to be roaring in rage. Lightning flashed but was unable to fall.

”Abominable Lord… are you unwilling? Too bad, you're only a Heavenly Dao. No! Only a parasite of the punishment aspect of the Heavenly Dao! Your influence has a limit. Even if you turned me into a heinous criminal, there's nothing you can do now that I've survived the tribulation. Haha…” Fang Yuan was entirely naked, but he was laughing heartily.

”You tried to kill me… but instead saved me! When the lightning tribulation appeared, I knew that there was a chance I wouldn't make it through. Not to mention, the Great Dao inspirations were there to disrupt my mind… Therefore, I had made up my mind from the start. I wouldn't care about the other Dao paths and would only focus on the Undying Great Dao!

”Heaven and earth values balance in its operation. While the lightning tribulation is a punishment, with greater punishment comes greater rewards. The more the top-tier Great Dao inspirations fell, the more my comprehension of the Nomological Laws of Undying would skyrocket. In the end, I abandoned my clone, and my main body focused on comprehending the Undying Great Dao. Finally, I managed to succeed by a hair!”

If he had tried to comprehend other Great Daos and split his attention, there would have been no way to reach perfection in any of them, and only death would have awaited him.

Thus, Fang Yuan merely glossed over the Void Great Dao and Time Great Dao and focused on the Undying Great Dao.

Nomological laws were limited to this world. While his Nomological Laws of Undying had been at perfection, his body was still heavily injured in the final Divine Lightning of Annihilation and was unable to restore.

However, after attaining the Undying Great Dao, he was truly undying and inextinguishable. Even if he disintegrated, he would be reborn from the void.

Unfortunately, I was a moment too late. The Torch Dragon clone has really died, and there's no way I can revive him!

Life and death had truly been hanging by a thread. Looking back, Fang Yuan still felt a cold sweat.

Kaboom!

Thunder rumbled, and the face in the sky looked utterly furious.

”Unwilling? Furious?” Fang Yuan looked at the sky with cold eyes. ”Although you've integrated with this world's Heavenly Dao and caught me off guard, since this arrangement couldn't kill me, it will be my turn the next time!

”Perhaps this world is very strong, and it would have been a joke to talk about combating its Heavenly Dao in normal times. However, there's a demon disaster now, and the world is much weaker than usual! A chance will present itself, so you won't have to wait too long!”

In fact, Fang Yuan reckoned that this was part of the reason why he was able to withstand the lightning strikes.

The invasion of otherworldly demons had caused the power of the world to weaken, so the power of the lightning tribulation had naturally weakened a bit.

However, it was precisely this bit that was the difference between life and death!

Whoo! Whoo!

Wild winds howled, and the dark clouds gradually dissipated. No matter how unwilling the face was, it could only disappear.

”Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a death trap! I truly suffered heavy losses…”

Fang Yuan sat cross-legged. Immortal Qi fell, and he started breaking through to Immortal.

His original plan had been very good. With a primordial treasure-level body, even the eighteen lightning strikes would not have been truly threatening to him. He could have then comprehended three top Great Daos at once, and perhaps even further his progress in fusing the Space-Time Great Dao.

However, in order to save his own life, he had had to give up his clone, the Void Great Dao, and Time Great Dao and focused completely on the Undying Great Dao, thus why he felt he had suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, he had managed to survive and had also discovered the Abominable Lord's whereabouts!

”Becoming a parasite of the world to seize the Heavenly Dao?” Fang Yuan raised his head and looked at the sky. ”Somewhat… troublesome!”

Although the opponent was merely a parasite of Heavenly Dao, he was still a part of it. Even though he had lost a lot of his power, Fang Yuan would not be able to circumvent the Heavenly Dao if he wanted to attack him!

”In addition, it's best I end this sooner rather than later. After all, the Abominable Lord is growing continuously as well. Obviously, when I just crossed over, I was merely an infant, but his consciousness must have been chaotic as well. Otherwise, how long could a barbarian infant have survived against heaven's will?” Fang Yuan surmised.

Afterward, although his cultivation progressed every day, the Abominable Lord also had unique advantages, and he could already affect the punishment aspect of the Heavenly Dao now.

This should also be why he had eroded the part concerned with the lightning tribulation. He had been waiting for him at this barrier to becoming Immortal.

One misstep, and he would have really died for good.

”I'm growing, but he's growing rapidly as well. Especially now that I've seen him…”

Fang Yuan looked at the sky and could not help feeling that there was a pair of eyes staring at him at all times.

The Abominable Lord should be accelerating his erosion of the world now. Once he succeeded, he would obtain freedom and have power at least at the Chaos Godfiend level. With the power of the world in his hands, it would be a piece of cake to kill him.

”However, before you succeed, it'll be very difficult for you to break away from the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao. It both protects you and restricts you…” Fang Yuan continued to ponder as he watched strands of Immortal Qi converge on his body and completely transform it into an Immortal body.

”Each wisp of an Immortal's Qi can instill them with life, and their Immortal Qi can agglomerate and disperse, being impermanent. It's very difficult for mortals to obliterate it. But it's nothing compared to my Undying Great Dao…”

He stood up and howled at the sky.

The horrifying ripples spread for a hundred kilometers and shook everything.

”The key for an Immortal to advance Grand Unity is to master a complete Great Dao. I've already mastered the Undying Great Dao and have a primordial treasure-level body, fully fulfilling the requirements. In other words, I've achieved the realm already. I only need enough resources now to advance to Grand Unity!”
