Perfected Lord Azure Firmament Radiance ran away!
Even when Emperor Cang used the [Heavenly Laws and Earthly Rules] to sense his presence, he couldn't detect him. There was only a patch of emptiness. Evidently, he had used some method to break free.
'That bastard from the Saint Sect.'
Emperor Cang ground his teeth so hard they nearly shattered. Perfected Lord Azure Firmament Radiance was absolutely not weak. Although he wasn't at the Immortal Bridge Realm, if he went all out, he was more than enough to stall one.
After all, what he commanded was the [Grand Torrent Water].
And the [Grand Torrent Water] itself was a Dao Fruit extremely suited for "stalling." Perfected Lord Azure Firmament Radiance's attainments in this aspect were even more at the absolute pinnacle.
But he ran away.
What made Emperor Cang's heart even heavier was that while the Perfected Lord Azure Firmament Radiance on his side had run away, a figure stepped out from behind the [Pill Cauldron] on the other side.
Surging spiritual power, like a raging fire that would never extinguish. There were no superfluous concepts, only pure destruction born from boiling spiritual power.
It was exactly [Perfected Lord Supreme Law Upholding Origin]!
This Great Perfected Lord, who could be called a pillar among the remnants of the Three Foundations, made Emperor Cang frown deeply. After a moment of silence, he bowed towards Lu Yang's direction:
"Fellow Daoist [Pill Cauldron], Cang pays his respects."
Hearing this, the youth instantly smiled. His gaze landed on Emperor Cang as he said faintly, "Since you call me Fellow Daoist, I wonder whose Dao Lord's disciple you are."
As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Cang's face instantly turned ashen.
Dao Lord's disciple?
He indeed used to be one. The closed-door disciple of Dao Lord Sisui. How glorious it was! Even when he was merely a Perfected Lord back then, he still received the courteous treatment due to a Great Perfected Lord.
But what about now?
The First-generation Son of Heaven of the Dao Court. It sounded noble as well, but how could it compare to being a Dao Lord's disciple? At best, he was merely a Dao Lord's tool!
Therefore, to Emperor Cang's ears, although Lu Yang spoke these words incredibly politely, the true meaning hidden within was extremely piercing and sharp. To put it simply: Stop fucking trying to latch onto me. A shameless wretch who betrayed Sisui, a wild dog by the roadside—are you even worthy of calling me Fellow Daoist?
Therefore, he instantly grew anxious.
"You!"
Before his voice faded, Lu Yang had already made a move. Seizing the instant Emperor Cang's mind wavered, a vast, boundless ocean of silver light instantly diffused outward.
[Floating Light Realm Sea Great Immortal Art]!
Looking over, Lu Yang formed a hand seal. His main body remained motionless, but countless figures with identical appearances and matching auras continuously split out from him.
In the blink of an eye, Emperor Cang's figure was submerged by a vast ocean of incarnations. Tens of thousands of incarnations attacked almost simultaneously. Quantitative change triggered qualitative change. The converged brilliance carried unparalleled might, like a heaven-encompassing, earth-spanning giant hand grabbing Emperor Cang in its palm, intending to crush him directly into fine powder!
However, upon seeing this scene, Emperor Cang actually laughed.
"External incarnations?"
Surprise flickered in his eyes, but also mockery: "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to be proficient in the method of incarnations as well. What a pity, using it in front of me is trying to be clever but ending up making a blunder!"
With that, he flicked his large sleeve.
In an instant, it sounded as if thousands of yellow bells and great caldrons chimed together. Thunderous roars resounded, yet they didn't target all of Lu Yang's incarnations, aiming solely at a single one.
"Boom!"
The next second, the dragon robe on Emperor Cang's body fell off. It was surprisingly a body-protecting secret treasure. At this moment, acting as a substitute for his death, it blocked the full-force strike from the ocean of incarnations.
On the other side, the thunderous roar unleashed by Emperor Cang accurately hit one of Lu Yang's incarnations. However, almost simultaneously, centering on this incarnation, a certain formless frequency began to spread along the connections between the incarnations, affecting karma and influencing auras, actually triggering a resonance among all the incarnations!
"Thud!"
Pulling one hair moves the whole body. The injury of a single incarnation actually affected the entire ocean of incarnations in an instant, causing it to collapse at a visible rate!
Seeing this, Lu Yang instantly frowned.
Following that, he waved his sleeve and put away the ocean of incarnations. Otherwise, at this rate, it wouldn't be long before the entire ocean was completely wiped out!
'It really isn't that simple after all.'
The Light of Wisdom flickered in Lu Yang's eyes, seeing through the truth of Emperor Cang's move. 'A method specifically targeting the art of incarnations. This person still has some capability.'
Meanwhile, Emperor Cang suddenly sneered. A chilling killing intent flashed through his eyes: "You dare to recall the incarnations? This is you seeking your own death!"
As his voice fell, the hand seals he formed shifted again. The already grand thunderous roar abruptly became incredibly subtle at this moment, remarkably entering the level of "the greatest sound is silent." The high-frequency vibrating thunderous roar was like a venomous snake, tracing the connection between the incarnations and the main body, striking straight towards Lu Yang!
'This move will definitely make him suffer a huge loss!'
Emperor Cang was very confident in his [Myriad Thunder Resonance Method]. It was precisely because Sisui had personally taught it to him back then, and it was the ultimate counter to incarnation methods.
However, this method wasn't originally meant for offense and killing.
Rather, it was the exact opposite. It was inherently a cultivation method, specifically created by Sisui for him so he could fuse his three bodies in the future and take a further step.
'But he lied to me.'
'He told me this method could allow my three bodies to fuse into one. In reality, it's absolutely impossible. Otherwise, my three Immortal Bridge incarnations would have fused into one and advanced to the Heaven Treading Realm long ago!'
Thoughts moved like lightning. The next instant, Emperor Cang broke free from his memories. He further circulated his spiritual power, secretly summoning his Yellow Heaven incarnation, while his Azure Heaven incarnation was also ready to intercept Perfected Lord Supreme Law Upholding Origin on the other side at a moment's notice. He was just waiting for [Pill Cauldron] to be severely injured, and then he would pursue the victory.
At the same time, Lu Yang wasn't flustered either.
Seeing the rolling thunderous roar approaching, directly using the resonance of the incarnations to affect his main body, making it difficult to block, he simply flicked his robes, and his figure abruptly became illusory.
[Dust-Repelling Robe]!
In an instant, as Lu Yang's figure became illusory, a strong concept also filled heaven and earth. It was a kind of "estrangement," a kind of "disdain."
Stay away, don't come over!
At this moment, Emperor Cang even experienced a hallucination, as if he saw his former friends, Fellow Daoists, and elders, all looking at him with disgust and reprimanding him:
[Keep away, you despicable wretch!]!
Killing a person and executing their heart!
Emperor Cang instantly flew into a rage, his mind shaken violently.
Meanwhile, Lu Yang had fled far away. He looked as if he was still standing in his original spot, but in reality, he had long since landed at the ends of the earth, difficult to be touched by external objects.
Naturally, the thunderous roar missed its mark as a result.
And as time passed, since Lu Yang had already put away his incarnations and severed the connection, the residual resonance was quickly exhausted, making it impossible to use again.
This scene made Emperor Cang's expression grow increasingly gloomy.
'No matter, the advantage is still mine.'
'Since that's the case, Yellow Heaven, you block Supreme Law. Azure Heaven, you stay hidden. Wait until I fight [Pill Cauldron] for a while, then find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack!'
"Boom!"
The next second, both sides exerted their spiritual power and profound wonders to the limit, colliding with a boom. It instantly stirred up flying ripples. The sky shattered like glass, even obscuring the heavenly light.
Seeing this, Emperor Cang was taken aback at first, but then overjoyed. This kind of upright, head-on clash stood out for its unpretentious simplicity. Strong was strong, weak was weak; there was absolutely no flashy tricks to speak of. It was also the most taxing on one's mind. After fighting for a long time, the probability of the Azure Heaven incarnation successfully landing a sneak attack was practically one hundred percent!
My judgment was right after all.
The advantage is mine!
However, right at this moment, Emperor Cang saw the Lu Yang directly in front of him suddenly smile. Then, his lips parted slightly, and he actually spoke toward the other side:
"Make your move!"
Make your move? What move?
Is he calling Supreme Law? That guy has already been stalled by my Yellow Heaven incarnation. How formidable do you think he is, to be able to break through the Yellow Heaven incarnation's containment?
Stop joking around.
After exchanging blows for so many years, how could I not understand Supreme Law? Strong as he is, he can at most suppress the Yellow Heaven incarnation. He can't kill it, nor can he free up his hands.
Unless he goes crazy and detonates that [Supreme Law Body]...
"Boom!"
The next second, a thunderous, massive explosion, completely without warning, erupted with a boom, instantly shattering all the calculations in Emperor Cang's heart.
Perfected Lord Supreme Law Upholding Origin had audaciously self-detonated!
