Chapter 910: Worldcarver (1/2)
“I can’t do it!” Lu Yun hunched over, panting heavily. “Pangu’s body structure is too complicated, even more so than the world itself. Hellfire can't perfectly recreate his body!”
To utilize the nascent spirit observation method didn’t mean to just simulate the subject’s external appearance, it was even more crucial to observe the internal structure of the subject. It was because of this principle that Lu Yun had listed formula dao as the basic foundation of all methods within the dao academy. Formula dao could utilize the tiniest of details to deduce the true nature of something from the outside in.
He'd used Pangu’s body just now to deduce the great god’s internal structure and make an initial projection based off of his findings. However, he’d gleaned only a thousandth of the great god’s structure, making for an equally short-lived projection.
“If I could enter Pangu’s body and make a detailed observation of his flesh and blood, I might be able to deduce a hundredth of his body structure. A projection of that level should be able to claim Worldcarver,” Lu Yun murmured to himself.
However, the great god's body was flawless and impenetrable. Even though the great axe had split it open, it still wasn't something that Lu Yun access. The ancient tomb and palace that they’d been in earlier was just a spatial plane in Pangu’s head. Where Lu Yun wanted to go was inside the great god's physical body.
“What is it?” The Yin Prince walked out of the carriage and elegantly approached Lu Yun, curiously watching the human youth in deep thought.
“I’m observing Pangu’s true form!” Lu Yun cast a glance at the Yin Prince and forcefully looked away. “His body structure is too complicated. I might be able to do something if I could enter his body, but it’s seamless and impossible to access.”
His fingers sped through various hand seals as he continuously theorized how he might tackle the problem.
“Aren’t you a duplication of Pangu’s body?” the Yin Prince asked doubtfully. “Though humans haven't inherited the great god’s combat arts and strength, they inherited his body and form. The human figure is Pangu’s true shape.”
Lu Yun started and turned around, staring dumbly at the Yin Prince. She blushed from the intense attention and bashfully ducked her head.
“You damned lecher, what do you want?!” Yulei and Shentu rushed over, placing their mistress behind them.
Lu Yun heaved a sigh and lowered his head, studying his own body.
“The human body is indeed shaped after Pangu’s true form, but it's still not as complex as the great god. One hundredth… the human body happens to have inherited precisely one hundredth of his body structure!” Lu Yun’s eyes lit up.
Possessing one hundredth of Pangu’s internal structure would be enough for him to project the great god’s form. But the human body was still only the human body, equivalent to a devolved Pangu. What he could project from observing his own body wouldn't be the great god in the flesh. However, Lu Yun had managed to deduce a thousandth of Pangu’s true form earlier.
“Please step aside, Your Majesty.” Lu Yun took a deep breath after a moment and cautioned the goddess to take shelter.
She nodded slowly and returned to her carriage in a cloud of perfume. Yulei and Shentu realized that Lie Shan was about to attempt something and quickly retreated to the shadows of the vehicle as well.
Whoosh.
The Sal Tree of Life and Death reappeared, along with the Sea of Hellfire. This time, Lu Yun deployed the nascent spirit observation method on himself. Leaping hellfire drowned him out and coalesced into the figure of Pangu.
Humm.
After a tremendous reverberation, he disappeared and was replaced by a towering giant.
“Pangu!” Seated in her litter, the Yin Prince leaned forward and regarded the second giant with shock. If it was said that Lie Shan had projected only Pangu’s body the first time, then he’d manage to recreate the great god entirely the second time!
Though she knew that the person in front of her wasn’t Pangu, it still gave her the misconception that the great god was here in person.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Pangu strode out to the corpse that was many times greater than him, the air shaking with every step that he took. When Lu Yun reached the great god's head, he realized that by using his own body as the blueprint and boundless hellfire as flesh and blood, he’d only managed to project a Pangu that was as big as the great god's head.
Pangu was really too enormous.
He took a deep breath and floated upwards, firmly grasping the gigantic axe and yanking it outwards.
Sizzle—
Bolts of black lightning flared in the air and struck at the bold human.
“Break!!” Lu Yun roared and activated Thunder Palmstrike, swallowing the field of electricity whole.
Crackle—
The terrifying lightning poured into his body and burrowed right back out to circle around him.
