Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme - Chapter 531 - Chapter 531: Chapter 323: Refining and Killing

Chapter 531: Chapter 323: Refining and Killing

It is said, “Know thyself, know thy enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.”

But now, Feng Chaoyang didn’t realize that what Xu Yang had here was only an incarnation, and he couldn’t imagine that Xu Yang had a second incarnation.

After all, Xu Yang’s first incarnation had perished along with the collapse of the “Broken War God.”

For a Cultivator at most in the Return to Void Realm to have refined an incarnation with martial prowess comparable to the Integration Realm was already shocking and inconceivable. How could there possibly be a second one? That would completely defy all reason.

Therefore, Feng Chaoyang was convinced that the Xu Yang present was the true self and decisively launched the Body Snatching Skill.

This was a mistake, but it was not fatal, because even if it was an incarnation, it still had a vessel to contain it.

As long as he devoured Xu Yang’s split Divine Soul and took the incarnation’s vessel, he could still make his escape from this perilous situation.

But…

“Roar!!!”

The Green Bull charged furiously, and the wind and thunder fled in shock. The entire Heavenly Domain was mobilized, and a terrifying pressure bore down.

“Curse Killing Skill?”

“Divine Soul Attack Skill?”

It was no wonder he was a Saint Heir of the Immortal Sect and an Integration Great Power. With a focused look, Feng Chaoyang discerned the nature of his opponent’s foundation.

It was indeed a Curse Skill, a Curse Skill specifically targeting the Divine Soul!

He had already initiated the Body Snatching Skill, invading the other’s Divine Consciousness Sea. How could his opponent still resist with a Curse Skill?

He should know that his Body Snatching Skill wasn’t an ordinary one, but an Ancient Secret Skill collected specifically for this disaster, belonging to the Demon Path, with specialized proficiency.

The common Body Snatching Techniques involved the Primordial Spirit invading the physical body, attacking and destroying the opponent’s Primordial Spirit within their body, and ultimately seizing the opponent’s shell. The whole process was extremely dangerous—a slight mistake could lead to mutual destruction. For this reason, one could only target lower-tier Cultivators whose Cultivation and weakness of Primordial Spirit were several levels below their own.

However, his Demon Path Body Snatching Technique involved the Primordial Spirit invading another Primordial Spirit, which could effectively avoid damaging the physical body. All fights took place within the sea of the Divine Consciousness, even the brain would not be damaged. It was harder to defend against, more difficult to resist, and one could even seize a Cultivator in the same Realm, which was extremely formidable.

With this Demon Path Body Snatching Technique and his Innate Integration Realm Primordial Spirit, wasn’t snatching a mere Return to Void flesh body a matter of ease?

That was Feng Chaoyang’s initial thought.

But the reality now told him—it was not!

The Demon Path Body Snatching Technique, where the Primordial Spirit invaded another Primordial Spirit, was indeed difficult to resist with ordinary methods.

But Xu Yang’s methods were not ordinary; they were extremely extreme!

He had unleashed the Curse Killing Skill on his own incarnation.

To curse oneself, how extreme could that be?

It was equivalent to treating the body as a cauldron, using the curse as a flame to refine the Primordial Spirit together, a situation of mutual destruction, do or die.

Although Feng Chaoyang did not comprehend the intricacies, he discerned Xu Yang’s intention. Despite increasing doubts in his heart, he maintained an unperturbed demeanor, “To refine the Primordial Spirit together and face mutual destruction—do you truly have such ability?”

Having said that, his Primordial Spirit stirred and suddenly shifted through the Five Elements, displaying green, yellow, red, white, and black colors in unison, transforming into a splendid Tianyuan, spinning like the cycle of reincarnation, devouring all brilliance.

It was—the Reincarnation Tribulation Skill!

A legacy of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, a Secret Technique of Primordial Spirit Tribulation Transformation, capable of transforming the Five Elements Spirit refined by the Five Elements Immortal Scripture into a cycle of reincarnation, swallowing all attacks and diffusing all damage. Whether it be cultivating skills, Divine Magic, Spiritual Treasures, Immortal Artifacts, or even the newly added Heart Demon Tribulation in the Return to Void Tribulation—all could be transformed and dissipated with this Secret Technique.

Not just the Five Elements Immortal Sect but all Sacred Places possessed similar Secret Techniques, which demonstrated the profound potentiality of the Immortal Gates.

As the former Five Elements Saint Son who had already advanced to the Integration Great Power, Feng Chaoyang had cultivated this Secret Technique to perfection. Otherwise, he would not have dared to easily initiate the Demon Path Body Snatching Skill and engage in a life-and-death struggle with Xu Yang, this unfathomable opponent.

“Rumble!”

The Green Bull charged, pulling the Heavenly Plow toward him, its momentum ferocious and seemingly unstoppable.

Yet, as the five colors spun like an abyssal black hole, the Green Bull collided into it, the wind and thunder dispersed, the Heavenly Plow shattered, and an invisible and indefensible Divine Soul Curse Skill vanished without a trace.

However…

“Roar!!!”

Another bellow of the bull sounded, as if the Azure Dragon roared skyward. The vault of heaven saw the resurgence of wind and thunder; a Green Bull, pulling the Heavenly Plow, charged furiously again, plunging into the abyss of the Five Elements’ cycle of reincarnation.

One after another, seven manifestations in succession, all forcefully struck down.

Yet the Five Elements, like a deep abyss, transformed the Tribulation, swallowing these Curse Killing Techniques one by one, remaining calm and unshaken.

The profound foundation of the Immortal Sect and the transformational Secret Technique were indeed extraordinary.

But…

“Roar!!!”

Another startling cry erupted, as the Green Bull reappeared and the Heavenly Plow rose again, heading toward the Five Elements’ deep abyss with the determination of facing death head-on.

“Hm!?”

Feng Chaoyang’s spirit tensed, sensing unease, but still forcefully suppressed it, murmuring to himself, “Let’s see how many rounds you can curse and how long you can hold out?”

With that, the Five Elements cycled again, swallowing the Green Bull, dissipating the Curse Skill, consuming the opponent’s Primordial Spirit.

Be it the physical body’s true essence or the Primordial Spirit and soul, all human efforts inevitably have limits!

The opponent, not knowing what Secret Technique was used, had hidden the Primordial Spirit, leaving no trace, forcing him to bear the brunt of the Curse Spell’s onslaught.

But it didn’t matter. Whether on the attack or defense, there was always consumption, always damage; the outcome would surely be that the stronger would triumph, and the weaker would fail.

Between the two of them, who was the strong, who was the weak?

Naturally, he was the stronger one. With an Integration Realm Primordial Spirit given by Innate Mechanism, even without a physical body for nourishment, he possessed the ability of endless regeneration. Moreover, he had cultivated the Five Elements Immortal Scripture, resided in the Five Elements Immortal Root, and brought his Five Elements Spirit to full Integration Realm perfection. Had he not been without a physical body, he might even have advanced to Mahayana.

Even so, his Primordial Spirit, having reaped the benefits of Immortal Root Achievement, was undying for ten thousand years, persisted until today!
