267 Eat Me and the World Will Part! (1/2)
”Well done, Autumn Beam.”
In that jet black world, Wang Lu’s voice coldly echoed.
The next moment, the whole dark world shattered like a broken glass.
However, although the debris completely disintegrated, the free-roaming black fire solidified, and countless of fragments were bonded together like paste, seemingly unable to be extinguished. The primordial spirit of Sword Demon suddenly swelled up millions of times until it blotted out the sky and occupied the entire world.
Although it was just only restored, the Mahayana Stage primordial spirit still possessed inconceivable magical ability. The world that was nearly crushed into countless of pieces, in just a short moment, was instantly solidified by him.
However, in this dark world, there was a part where he inexorably could not stop from getting away—the surviving light source in the center of this world, the core of Wang Lu’s Jade Mansion.
Sword Demon stood in the darkness, incomprehensibly looking at the Wang-Lu-shaped primordial spirit within that Jade Mansion.
”You…”
Wang Lu’s gaze was as cold as ice as he said, ”Do you want this? Then here it is.”
Sword Demon was silent for a while, and then his gaze suddenly turned sharp; countless pieces of black fire dragons from the shattered world suddenly formed an enormous dragon that roared and charged into Wang Lu’s Jade Mansion, trying to pollute this last bit of light.
Boom!
A deafening, soul-stirring, and frightening explosion reverberated. The black fire dragon collapsed before the Jade Mansion. As the last barrier, that bright light was actually impregnable!
”Is this your trump card?” Sword Demon asked.
Wang Lu said, ”One thing you’re right, Master is indeed a great person, therefore… Regardless of whether she truly has an excellent perception when she created the method, or that she had experienced too much that she had the foresight to anything, but when she first taught me the cultivation of Non-Phase Method, there’s something that she exhorted me to remember no matter what. I can change the method and start over, tossing away Non-Phase Method like a pair of worn out shoes. But, no matter what, I must not change my core.”
With that, Wang Lu let out a laugh. ”Therefore, when cultivating Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword, all the other places freely made contact with the sword qi, except here, where it remained independent, which protected my last bit of light.”
Sword Demon said with sinking voice, ”I’m indeed surprised that you actually managed to carefully set up this layer of defense. This lowest level operation of Non-Phase Sword actually has the ability to deceive my eyes. But, so what if you can protect your last bit of light?”
Wang Lu thought for a moment before replying, ”You can possess my body, but you can’t tarnish my heart?”
”What a joke,” Sword Demon lightly said, and then he proceeded to stimulate the movement of the demonic fire to continue to stick together the fragments of the world, trying to integrate them once again. And then, with a flat tone of voice, he said, ”Outside of your Jade Mansion is the result of your entire ten years of cultivation. Your magical power, your Non-Phase Golden Body, and everything are all here.”
Wang Lu smiled. ”Now they’re yours, you’re welcome.”
Sword Demon didn’t speak. For him? That was easier said than done.
Without the light from his core, the rest was nothing but a pile of meat. What was the difference between a living person and a lump of flesh? It was the Jade Mansion occupied by Wang Lu. And what Sword Demon needed was a fresh body, absolutely the top best in the world Void Spirit Root, rather than a pile of useless meat. Not to mention, at this time, his primordial spirit has been settled and already have inseparable connection with this world (inside Wang Lu). If the world shattered, he would not end up well.
However, for Wang Lu, if he merely possessed his Jade Mansion while discarding the rest, it meant that all the achievement of his ten years of immortal cultivation would melt like snow in the summer. Henceforth, he would just be like an average person who has never cultivated.
”Do you think it would be miserable? I still have my primordial spirit, Jade Mansion, and Non-Phase Immortal Heart… at least, I will still retain all of my experience and memories. Even if I completely lose my cultivation, at worst, I would just need to spend another ten years of cultivation. Merely ten years, do you think that’s a long time?”
”You’re just deluding yourself. People advance courageously in immortal cultivation, not having to start over from the beginning. If you self-destruct your cultivation, I’m afraid even your Void Spirit Root can’t hold on. The surrounding spiritual energy is unlikely to condense into a loser’s body.”
”So what? It’s better than being possessed, don’t you get it?”
This was indeed a simple truth, however, if simply understanding the truth, one could make the right decision, then there would be no one making bad decisions that led to sufferings and pain.
Knowing perfectly well that corruption would be detrimental to the country, yet unable to stop the receiving hand... Knowing perfectly well that taking drugs could ruin life, yet the heart’s desire could not be subsided... Knowing...
Indeed, it was better to give up the cultivation than being possessed by other people. However, how could one not hesitate when they have to bury their ten years of cultivation?
Sword Demon was somewhat helpless. Had he known this earlier, he wouldn’t have used too much power to suppress Autumn Beam and left some to guard against Wang Lu. If he could maintain the pressure throughout this time, Wang Lu might not necessarily have the opportunity to achieve this step. However, considering that Autumn Beam didn’t even hesitate to try to perish together, a slight mistake from him might also give her a chance to come back.
As for Wang Lu… if he wanted to take the risk to court death, that was up to him. It was indeed a pity that the peerless Void Spirit Root would be destroyed, however, not far away there was Sword Spirit Root. Although Sword Demon was unwilling to possess a female cultivator, since he has no other alternative...
Thinking about this, Sword Demon was ready to pull out and retreat. However, when he was about to do that, he suddenly saw a boundary to this dark world in the form of an orange jade monument.
Sword Demon was inwardly surprised. This world has obviously fallen under his control; only the core was under the protection from Non-Phase Method, and all of the rest were within his grasp. However, the appearance of this jade monument was completely unnoticed by him! Where the jade monument stood, the demonic qi dissipated, unable to approach. When he used his primordial spirit to feel it, he felt a tearing pain.
What exactly was the origin of this jade monument!?
