Zhao Yang sat calmly within the Extermination of Immortals and Demons Formation, his expression serene, eyes closed. He too had heard the howling of the Little Beast.
"Little Nine..." Zhao Yang whispered.
The Little Beast, lying on a sharp stone, perked up at Zhao Yang's soft call, opening its large eyes to gaze at him from within the formation, though there was no spark of life in its gaze.
At that moment, an unusual aura emanated from Zhao Yang. The sound of his Dao resonated around him as the Ripple of Enlightenment radiated outward, beginning to counteract the thunderous demonic sounds of the Extermination of Immortals and Demons Formation.
Outside the formation, Shiyunsheng revealed a strange expression and said, "Even the strongest geniuses throughout history have struggled to reach this point. You truly are a worthy opponent! It's more interesting when it's hard to kill! Otherwise, when I aim for supremacy over the Five Elements Continent in the future, how could I possibly do so without any challenges?"
Zhao Yang ignored him, reciting a heart sutra he had found in the Scripture Repository of Xuanfo Temple. This sutra pertained to the Five Senses and could be used to seal off the Five Senses, preventing external disturbances. He couldn't instantly peruse the One Hundred Thousand Volumes of Books; he needed time to devise a way to break through.
Meanwhile, Shiyunsheng was waiting for the next wave of attacks from the Extermination of Immortals and Demons Formation. He knew that the upcoming attack was called Ten Thousand Paths Invasion, also known as Transmutation. It could cause any cultivator to perish from Transmutation. Since ancient times, no one had survived this trial because it was indeed the final hurdle.
In cultivation history, there had once been a genius with an invulnerable body immune to all methods—a Body Refinement cultivator who entered Dao through martial prowess and swept away all other geniuses. The older generation of cultivators could not pose a threat to him. However, he eventually died within the Extermination of Immortals and Demons Formation; this final strike was Transmutation, which turned anyone into void energy.
The formation trembled as an inexplicable wave of light surged inward from its halo. Two forces of Transmutation surged toward Zhao Yang and Song Baliang respectively.
Zhao Yang suddenly opened his eyes, radiating a luminous glow like water. If everything around him were magnified at that moment, anyone would see that all the dust in the air around him had frozen in place, becoming an eternal existence.
In this moment of crisis, Zhao Yang recalled his mastery over time through Time Walk.
A Light Barrier enveloped Zhao Yang while simultaneously covering the now-silent Song Baliang. As the power of Transmutation made contact with Time Walk's Light Barrier, it suddenly slowed down immensely, swirling around the barrier like two slowly swimming goldfish.
No one knew that at this moment, Zhao Yang sat without any power left; he couldn't even lift a hand.
In cultivation history, Primordial Spirit attacks were among Forbidden Techniques. There are many Forbidden Techniques, but time is paramount among them. Any technique related to time or Divine Power would lead to death if discovered by ancient beings—no matter how strong one might be.
This is because in the order of heaven and earth, time is the only constant. Anyone who disrupts its flow is seen as a threat to the universe's normal operation—something that cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth.
Thus, no one dared to touch the power of time; yet many ancient beings yearned for it because it pertains to immortality.
As cultivators, no one wishes for death; everyone seeks to understand what lies at the pinnacle of cultivation—is it Transcend Tribulation? Ascend? God? Immortal? No one knows because those who might know are likely dead or have become such beings themselves—there's no need for them to remain in this world.
At the same time, accessing the power of time isn't something just anyone can do; utilizing such power requires energy and True Qi far beyond what ordinary cultivators can sustain.
Zhao Yang understood that the only way to break through the Extermination of Immortals and Demons Formation was through time—survive it or perish. This mysterious and extraordinary formation consumed energy that no Treasure could support.
The power of Transmutation was blocked by his Time Water Screen, keeping it at bay for now. As long as they could withstand this wave of attacks, they would survive.
However, Zhao Yang's face remained sorrowful, for at that moment, Song Baliang's fate was unknown. He had exhausted all his strength; even if they managed to survive the Extermination of Immortals and Demons Formation, who would fight Shiyunsheng then?
Zhao Yang's complexion grew increasingly pale, his skin beginning to wither. The power of time was beyond what he could currently handle, and he found himself afflicted by its side effects. Inside him, the Foundation Cauldron seemed to be stimulated, wildly spewing forth Chaos True Qi to repair Zhao Yang's body. This was all excess True Qi stored within the Perfect Foundation Cauldron.
Outside the formation, Shiyunsheng watched in astonishment, his eyes burning with intensity. His perception of a cultivator's essence was sharper than anyone else's, and he sensed something unprecedented.
"What is this? It's not Foundation Stage; it's a cauldron! And the quality—it's a perfect Foundation Cauldron!" Shiyunsheng, usually composed, couldn't help but exclaim. "Breaking the rules of cultivation to shape Foundation Stage into a Foundation Cauldron—specifically a perfect one—is simply the mark of a genius! What a pity it's within you. It seems that during your time at Myriad Spirit Sect, you indeed acquired the inner core of the Jade Crawler. However, from now on, your foundation belongs to me! Look at your Spiritual Root—so colorful and mixed with dozens of types; such a good foundation is wasted on you!"
Shiyunsheng laughed heartily; this was the best treasure he had ever seen!
With a sound like smoke dissipating, the surrounding formation vanished. At last, the Extermination of Immortals and Demons Formation, said to be capable of killing any cultivator, was shattered by Zhao Yang. Throughout history, no one had survived beneath its power.
The aura of Time Walk faded away as Zhao Yang collapsed to the ground. He had completely run out of strength. He gazed at Little Beast not far away and at Song Baliang beside him, his eyes devoid of any complex emotions.
"In truth, we are not from the same world," Zhao Yang said weakly, wanting to reveal the secret in his heart before it was too late.
"We were never from the same world! My world is not one that mere mortals like you can reach!" Although Shiyunsheng was surprised that Zhao Yang had survived the Extermination of Immortals and Demons Formation—breaking an ancient record—he interpreted Zhao Yang's abrupt words as dying words and felt a sense of satisfaction in belittling him.
"Hmm?" In his Divine Sense perception, Shiyunsheng sensed someone approaching. Without hesitation, he knew Zhao Yang had no strength left; thus, dark energy immediately invaded Zhao Yang's body in an attempt to seize his foundation.
The sound of flesh tearing echoed in Zhao Yang's mind as his abdomen began to collapse. A small cauldron radiating chaotic light flew out from his belly. Soon enough, the cauldron grew larger, mysterious inscriptions appearing on its surface and illuminating the heavens. Shiyunsheng was utterly shocked; even if he absorbed the foundations of hundreds of cultivators combined, it wouldn't match even a fraction of this cauldron's size! He quickly directed all his dark energy toward the Foundation Cauldron, trying to pull it towards himself and merge it with his own being.
However, the repulsive force of the Perfect Foundation was astonishingly great; in an instant, Shiyunsheng found it incredibly difficult to move it even slightly.
Chains exuding chaotic energy hung from the ears of the Perfect Foundation Cauldron while still remaining within Zhao Yang's abdomen. There was mist swirling around there; parting it would reveal his Qi Sea.
Inside Zhao Yang's Qi Sea swirled chaotic energy along with some azure light spots. If Shiyunsheng looked deeper inside, he would surely reconsider continuing to absorb Zhao Yang's foundation.
As Shiyunsheng dragged the Foundation Cauldron closer to himself and away from Zhao Yang's Qi Sea, a subtle change in matter began to occur in the air. The Perfect Foundation Cauldron was where Zhao Yang's foundation resided; it nourished his physical body and meridians and was the source of his power.
The inscriptions on the Perfect Foundation Cauldron were mysterious and numerous. The surface was divided into nine sections with one section inscribed with two lines from an Imperial Scripture text.
Finally, after exerting great effort, Shiyunsheng managed to drag the Chaotic Qi-wrapped Perfect Foundation Cauldron close to himself. He was drenched in sweat and felt his True Qi waning but was astonished beyond measure because if he obtained such a Foundation Cauldron, he could become an unparalleled genius in the cultivation world—perhaps even surpassing past sages and achieving eternal supremacy.
With a loud crack!
A chain from the Chaotic Binding Chain suddenly snapped, and Zhao Yang let out a painful scream. Shiyunsheng's face turned cold and cruel, with an excitement he could not conceal. He felt an overwhelming thrill, even more intense than when he first discovered the heavenly treasure, the Jade Crawler.
However, in the next moment, Shiyunsheng shouted and abruptly released his grip on the Foundation Cauldron.
As he pulled, a massive blue orb of light emerged from Zhao Yang's Qi Sea. The moment it appeared, its brilliance filled the sky, and countless blue rays transformed into lightning that shot out in all directions. One fierce bolt of lightning pierced through Shiyunsheng's shoulder blade!
"I...!" Shiyunsheng cursed loudly, his eyes wide with terror as he realized this thing posed a threat to his life. "What the hell is this!"
Shiyunsheng's complexion turned a deep shade of purple as a possibility struck him—could this be a Golden Core?!
Such a large blue electric ball, and it was pulled out from Zhao Yang's belly; if it weren't for the fact that he had personally extracted it, he would never have believed it was a human cultivator's Golden Core!
This blue electric ball was capable of autonomously attacking enemies; it was none other than the legendary Haotian Pill.
When the Haotian Pill emerged in the Haotian Secret Realm, it triggered an endless tide of Puppet Beasts that annihilated all cultivators except for Zhao Yang and Song Baliang. Thus, no one knew what kind of entity the Haotian Pill was or what its attributes were.
Even though he did not know this was the Haotian Pill, Shiyunsheng understood that this Haotian Pill was far more powerful than the Celestial Pill within his own Qi Sea. His Celestial Pill had already reached an unparalleled level, larger than ordinary Golden Cores by several times. However, he had never seen or heard of a Golden Core as large as Zhao Yang's!
