Chapter 1099 - 1199: The True Weakness of the Wall-Dwellers

After all, once Ye Tianfan falls, they then cease their exploration.

Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too frequently, others are bound to notice.

Over time, suspicions will certainly arise that Ye Tianfan is the true master of the Chaos Treasure Lotus.

After all, people aren't stupid, even if some are dim-witted, there are many who are smart.

Even if it happens only once, because Ye Tianfan is unconscious and can't continue to claim territory, some smart people will be able to deduce that Ye Tianfan is the true master of the Chaos Treasure Lotus.

Thus, Taichu Sect Leader decided that even if they encounter extremely formidable outer wall creatures, Ye Tianfan cannot take action directly. Instead, a series of strategies must be laid out before he can engage them.

Furthermore, this plan must remain undetected by others, for if Ye Tianfan gets injured, it is very likely that the energy shield created by the Chaos Treasure Lotus will likewise disappear. In that situation, they can only hide within the Array, waiting for Ye Tianfan to awaken.

If by then the battle hasn't ended, it's fine. But if it has, even those without brains would realize the energy shield is related to Ye Tianfan, thereby easily guessing that Ye Tianfan is the master of the Chaos Treasure Lotus.

Just as the Taichu Sect Leader is still shocked, the spiraling pale red aura has now begun to condense and form a shape.

Ye Tianfan notices that the shape resembles the previous outer wall creature. It's clear that this outer wall creature wasn't destroyed earlier, but has somehow resurrected.

Although Ye Tianfan does not know how this outer wall creature revived, its resurrection proves that the Power of Elimination has no effect on it.

There is also the possibility that the Power of Elimination affects it, but nonetheless, the creature is revived, indicating that while the power may work, it isn't highly effective against outer wall creatures.

Ye Tianfan is now prepared to directly convert the energy within this creature's body.

Since the Power of Elimination couldn't kill this creature, the only method Ye Tianfan could think of was using the Chaos Treasure Lotus's energy conversion.

After all, he almost used the Chaos Treasure Lotus to kill the creature earlier; despite the experiment affecting only a leg, from this leg it was concluded that converting all of their internal energy into spiritual power would cause the creature's body to collapse.

Thus, Ye Tianfan has already braced himself for unconsciousness, and can estimate that converting just one leg's energy has already drained so much of his stamina and spiritual power. If he converts all of the creature's energy, Ye Tianfan believes he'll likely pass out due to excessive depletion, possibly even during the conversion process, exhausting his own spiritual power and his Spiritual Power.

However, at that moment, Taichu Sect Leader communicated to Ye Tianfan: "No matter what happens soon, do not take action. I know you can eliminate the creature by converting energy, but now is not the time to act. The creature's power is strong and troublesome, but not at its most troublesome yet. At the very least, I can still suppress it. If you expose yourself as the true master of the Chaos Treasure Lotus now, future troubles will follow when you enter the wall. Even with Taichu Sect's protection, it's futile. Remember, it's easy to avoid open attacks, but hard to defend against covert ones. Fear not the overt, but the insidious."

"But if that's the case, it might cause significant casualties here. The Wandering Sword seems ineffective against the creature, perhaps a slight effect, but not much apparent. From what I consider, only the Chaos Treasure Lotus can directly harm the creature. During my experiment earlier, even the Sect Leaders must have seen it. Although the consumption is significant, I believe converting all its internal energy to spiritual power might not cause me to pass out. A leg was draining, but the entire body might not be as much." Ye Tianfan responded to Taichu Sect Leader.

Ye Tianfan knows that if he truly converts the creature's energy, he's likely to faint. However, there's a small chance he won't faint, but the depletion will be great. Ye Tianfan can replenish spiritual power, but not Spiritual Power, which can only recover through rest.

Ye Tianfan is gambling on this chance, betting he won't faint, despite the likelihood being large. Yet Ye Tianfan believes his fortune is consistently favorable, thus he won't pass out.

Ye Tianfan dares to gamble, but the Taichu Sect Leader does not. Losing this gamble would place Ye Tianfan in great peril or even at the brink of death.

Moreover, while Taichu Sect Leader acknowledges Ye Tianfan's high fortune, he still hesitates to gamble, uncertain if Ye Tianfan's luck remains as high beyond the wall.

Some say fortune is tied to location, with luck being high in certain areas but changing to normal or even below average when moving to another place.

Thus, the Taichu Sect Leader dares not gamble on whether Ye Tianfan will faint, only estimating it as certain that he will.

Suddenly, the Taichu Sect Leader realizes that the weakness of these outer wall creatures lies in converting their internal energy into spiritual power, or perhaps into any form of energy that isn't their original.

But how should this be executed? Currently, the only known method is through the Chaos Treasure Lotus held by Ye Tianfan.

However, Ye Tianfan mustn't act until the critical moment, as acting now would place him at risk unless exploration becomes impossible beyond the wall, at which point Ye Tianfan may take action.

If Ye Tianfan does act, the Taichu Sect Leader would surely assign him to remain outside the wall until his strength reaches the Ten Directions Realm, then let him return.
