Chapter 963: Chapter 958: The 2nd Dao Constant!

The Sea of Suffering.

Endless waves mixed with the light of the sky. Lü Yang’s expression was peaceful. Even with the heavens tearing open above him and the silhouette of the Other Shore faintly appearing, his demeanor remained indifferent.

Up to this point, everything was under his control.

The Time Shifting Device hovered in his hand. As time passed, the more of the Dao of Arcane Body he usurped, the higher his Position became. The higher his Position rose, the smoother this Cause and Effect Treasure operated in his grasp. Endless multicolored lights cascaded through his fingers like a waterfall, splashing into the Sea of Suffering beneath his feet. The lights diffused and faintly blended together. Amidst the seven-colored Feixia, a blazing white light faintly flickered.

Lü Yang then raised his head to gaze at the firmament. In a trance, he seemed to see a hazy figure within the lofty silhouette of the Other Shore. That figure was also lowering their head, looking at him from afar.

One stood at the peak of the mountain, while the other stood at the foot of it. The absolute disparity of Heaven and Earth did not make Lü Yang feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, a smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he spoke faintly.

"Which of you is willing to come down and stop me?"

No one answered.

However, on the other side, World Purger Fei Xue—who had been noticeably holding back and letting Taiyin Immortal Venerable bear the pressure of the six Star Palace Great True Monarchs—suddenly changed her expression.

"Hmph!" She let out a cold snort, a flash of irritation surfacing in her eyes before quickly fading back into tranquility. Immediately afterward, her Qi trace began to rapidly soar.

She opened her hand. Right in the center of her palm, True Treasures materialized one after another: the Returning Ruins Tide Lamp, the Sea and Mountain Heaven Opening Stone, the Nine Abyss Returning Wave Bottle, the Celestial Silk Light, and the Thousand Dragons Returning Profound Pearl. The five True Treasures circled one another, finally converging into five streams of brilliant light that collapsed at her fingertips.

"RUMBLE!"

In an instant, a booming Thunder Sound resonated from the single point of light where the five True Treasures had seamlessly fused. Like an Immortal Well, bubbling water light flowed out from within.

It was the extreme transformation of water. Although it was merely a single stream of Splendid Light, it felt as though billions of auspicious clouds had gathered. Densely packed runes continuously surfaced and shifted, carrying a strong personal imprint.

This was the Void Attainment Position! It had taken shape as a prototype as early as the Middle Stage of Golden Core. Now, having achieved the rank of a Great Perfected Lord, World Purger Fei Xue had finally completed the conceptual weaving of her Void Attainment Position.

"The supreme good is like water, which nourishes all things without competing. It is content with the low places that people disdain. Thus it is close to the Dao!"

At this moment, World Purger Fei Xue’s Daoic voice echoed explosively across the Sea of Suffering, resonating with her Fruit. "Meeting stones, it splits; meeting the abyss, it gathers deep; meeting cliffs, it becomes a waterfall..."

As she spoke, the Fruit at her fingertips soared into the air, spilling endless Splendid Light as it spun. It was a breathtaking sight. Standing beneath it, World Purger Fei Xue looked ethereal, as if she were about to ascend to immortality. The power then blessed her palm, which was as flawless as mutton-fat jade. Without the slightest deviation, she gently palmed a strike toward the Star Palace Great True Monarchs.

The Void Dao Fruit—Moistening!

"BANG!"

The sound, like the roar of a dragon and the cry of a phoenix, echoed endlessly. Carrying incomparable might, it instantly slapped Hao Yuan Shangzhen, sending him flying backward.

With the strike completed, World Purger Fei Xue’s movements did not pause for a second. Her graceful figure was like a dream, as ethereal as an immortal. Even Time seemed to come to a halt beneath her feet. Taking a single step, World Purger Fei Xue vanished instantly. Her Qi trace, Position, and surging Mana disappeared along with her, deeply concealed and utterly traceless.

By the time the others regained their senses, she had already arrived right in front of them.

"BOOM!"

She unleashed a second palm strike. Like a celestial waterfall, it erupted explosively, instantly blasting another Star Palace Great True Monarch into the air and shattering the Mana across his entire body.

Witnessing this scene, the six Star Palace Great True Monarchs revealed expressions of astonishment. Strictly speaking, World Purger Fei Xue had previously been inferior to Taiyin Immortal Venerable. After all, she had only recently broken through, and any one of them had the confidence to fight her. However, her combat strength was now skyrocketing at an extreme pace.

Even Lü Yang cast a sidelong glance in her direction.

He thought, "According to Ang Xiao’s classification, out of the six Star Palace Great True Monarchs, only one is High Grade. The other five are ordinary. They are not strong, but not weak either.

"Before this, Fei Xue was also an ordinary Great True Monarch.

"But just now, she formed her Void Attainment Position. By using it as a blessing and seamlessly integrating the Void Test Dao with her own Fruit, she is already very close to High Grade."

This kind of classification was actually quite arbitrary. Lü Yang was not entirely certain either; he made this judgment solely based on the changes in World Purger Fei Xue’s Qi trace. The important part was that she had chosen to take action.

He pondered, "Even though she was clearly holding back earlier and chose to remain silent even after guessing that True Monarch Gangxing might defect, her initial will to fight wasn’t actually that high. Why did she wait until now to erupt? Did she receive instructions from someone? The Stain Sect Ancestral Master? This is a bit troublesome now."

However, it was only a bit troublesome.

On the other side, due to World Purger Fei Xue’s sudden eruption, she had taken over the pressure of the Star Palace Great True Monarchs from Taiyin Immortal Venerable, finally giving the latter an opening.

"The Master of Tribulation is dead, buried within Taiyin!"

Taiyin Immortal Venerable chanted a Daoist Hand Seal. Taiyin brightened, projecting a boundless graveyard behind her. From within it, a tombstone rose from the ground.

[Tomb of the Immortal Monarch of Tribulation]

In an instant, Lü Yang saw massive amounts of grave dirt surging out from within his own body, filling his internal organs and clogging his seven orifices as if trying to bury him.

"The Curse Killing Technique again..." Lü Yang’s expression remained calm. This was not his first time seeing this move from Taiyin Immortal Venerable. In his past life at the Celestial Mansion, she had used a similar method on Si Chou.

He mused, "Fortunately, I’ve been cautious in this life. From the beginning to the end, only the so-called Honorary Title of the Immortal Monarch of Tribulation has been circulating outside. Even this title was born only after the Profound Spirit Realm resonated with me. My true name has never been exposed. Trying to curse me using this title is a big mistake."

With this thought in mind, Lü Yang immediately solidified his Daoist Hand Seal. Previously, he had used the Void Purification and Calm Business Jade Book to deeply commune with the Profound Spirit Realm, earning the Honorary Title of the Immortal Monarch of Tribulation. But now, he decisively abandoned it—

Severance!

He instantly broke off his connection with the Profound Spirit Realm, severing their ties. This caused the karmic links between Lü Yang and the Honorary Title of the Immortal Monarch of Tribulation to rapidly thin out. Almost at the same time, the Time Shifting Device in his hand spun with a roar.

Changing the cause, altering the effect!

In an instant, Taiyin Immortal Venerable, who had been planning to advance further, froze. Right before her eyes, massive waves explosively surged up from the Sea of Suffering! In the blink of an eye, a natural chasm appeared between her and Lü Yang, severing all Profound Mysterious connections. Such a phenomenon occurred without the slightest prior warning, seemingly appearing out of thin air. Yet, its timing and power were absolutely flawless. It was clearly something premeditated for a long time, creating an intense sense of contradiction.

"...How is this possible!" Taiyin Immortal Venerable stood stunned at the sight, but she quickly snapped out of it. Her gaze landed on Lü Yang’s Time Shifting Device as she gritted her teeth.

"How could the Sea of Suffering inexplicably raise such a chasm?

"Is it a Fruit Arcana?"

On the other side of the chasm, Lü Yang’s face was the picture of tranquility. The answer was simple. Just moments ago, he had used the Time Shifting Device to enter the Great Net of Karma Links and traveled back through history to challenge Emperor Ying once again. As a result, he mastered another Fruit Arcana.

The Fruit of Post-Road Earth, the Fruit of Spring Water, and the Fruit of Pine-Cedar Wood combined to form the Heaven-Spinning Sun-Revolving Dao Fruit! Its Profound Mysterious power could rotate Heaven and Earth, turning inches into a world apart!

Following that, he used the Great Net of Karma Links to arrive at the location of the Dao of Arcane Body in the Sea of Suffering years in advance. He buried this Dao Fruit into the sea and set up an Array, using the power of the Sea of Suffering to continuously amplify the might of the Dao Fruit. He waited until this very moment to let it suddenly erupt!

It appeared to be nothing more than a fleeting second. In reality, he had experienced a long stretch of Time within the Great Net of Karma Links through the Time Shifting Device to finally achieve the miracle before their eyes.

In this single second, Taiyin Immortal Venerable was blocked!

Almost simultaneously, Lü Yang’s process of usurping the Dao of Arcane Body was nearing its end. The Qi trace radiating from his body grew increasingly torrential, and his Position reached a Critical Point!

However, right at this moment.

Above the Sea of Suffering, near the faintly discernible silhouette of the Other Shore, an irrefutable ink trace abruptly surfaced. It branded itself onto the Current World and the karmic links:

The Dao of Arcane Body ultimately failed to reappear in the world.

The second Constant!
