Chapter 1132 - 1232: Objects Feared

This is what people always say: you learn from your mistakes—after all, anyone who failed to figure out some experience from it has already died.

Those creatures outside the wall do not die easily.

After all, they naturally come with Infinite Resurrection. Once they run into something that threatens their lives, they'll directly self‑detonate on the spot.

Every single creature outside the wall has this Infinite Resurrection trait on them.

So, in order to deal with this trait in other wall‑outside creatures, almost every wall‑outside creature has evolved a way to counter the Infinite Resurrection of its own kind.

Thus, for the Cultivators inside the wall, all those wall‑outside creatures basically possess Infinite Resurrection, but among the wall‑outside creatures themselves, it almost doesn't affect each other at all—it just turns into a contest of speed.

If two wall‑outside creatures are fighting and one of them loses, as long as it's faster than the other and blows itself up first, it can escape being slaughtered by the opponent.

Because once that wall‑outside creature self‑detonates, it can revive somewhere else and then re‑enter the battle. Of course, most of the time it'll just run away directly.

After all, if it couldn't win before, it still won't be able to win after reviving. And wall‑outside creatures never know exhaustion, they're always brimming with energy. In their dictionary, there is no such thing as "tired" or "running out of energy."

So, the Cultivators inside the wall can't use the tactic of dragging out time against wall‑outside creatures. The longer the fight drags on, the more powerless the Cultivators become.

Even inside‑wall Cultivators, Body Cultivators included, will feel extremely fatigued once the battle drags on too long. And more importantly, their combat consumption is enormous. The Spiritual Power they use, although it can be replenished here, can only be replenished through pills.

Trying to absorb and replenish Spiritual Power from outside during battle is basically courting death. Cultivators are already very slow at absorbing external Spiritual Power when they're not in a cultivation state, and on top of that, the opponent you're fighting is a wall‑outside creature. They're inherently shrouded in Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, and other negative auras. Even if you're fighting them within the range of Ye Tianfan's Chaos Treasure Lotus,

when those wall‑outside creatures unleash their moves, they're still using Demonic Qi, Evil Qi and similar negative auras. Ye Tianfan can immediately convert the Demonic Qi, Evil Qi and other negative auras released by those wall‑outside creatures into ordinary Spiritual Power, but there is still a time gap in between. No matter how fast Ye Tianfan is, there's a conversion interval. And within that conversion interval, if a Cultivator accidentally absorbs even the tiniest bit of Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, or other negative auras,

then that Cultivator is basically crippled. And most importantly, Ye Tianfan can only convert the Demonic Qi, Evil Qi and other negative auras that have already been released by the wall‑outside creatures.

As for the Demonic Qi, Evil Qi and other negative auras that haven't been released yet, the ones constantly seeping over their body's surface, if Ye Tianfan wants to convert those, it will consume a massive amount of Spiritual Power.

So Ye Tianfan will not convert the Demonic Qi, Evil Qi and other negative auras that still cling to those wall‑outside creatures' body surfaces. Ye Tianfan will only convert the Demonic Qi, Evil Qi and other negative auras that have already been unleashed.

Moreover, Ye Tianfan has to constantly guard against the Demonic Qi, Evil Qi and other negative auras on the surfaces of those wall‑outside creatures eroding normal Spiritual Power. This ties up even more of Ye Tianfan's focus.

Given all that, Taichu Zhenren forbade everyone from absorbing Spiritual Power during battle, so that Ye Tianfan wouldn't have to consume too much Spiritual Power and attention.

During battle, Spiritual Power can only be restored through pills. If they want to restore their Spiritual Power to full, that can only be done after the fight. After all, Spiritual Power restored via pills will fade over time inside the user's body. Only the Spiritual Power you absorb yourself and then refine into your own Spiritual Power will not dissipate.

At this moment, that enhanced creature was already slowly walking toward Taichu Zhenren. It completely ignored everyone else, since in its eyes, those others were dispensable existences, something it could wipe out with a single bite at any time.

Aside from Taichu Zhenren, everyone else was simply too weak. Even though they carried things that this wall‑outside creature could sense as being threats to it, the creature still didn't care—there were just too few of those things.

What this wall‑outside creature sensed was pure Spiritual Power. Even though the amount of pure Spiritual Power the group had left, added together, wasn't small, that quantity of pure Spiritual Power still couldn't inflict any real harm on this wall‑outside creature. So this wall‑outside creature simply didn't give them a second glance.

It didn't even truly look at Taichu Zhenren. The only reason it was wary of Taichu Zhenren was the Freedom Sword in his hand. If not for that sword, this wall‑outside creature would have already flattened everyone here. In fact, without the Freedom Sword, this wall‑outside creature wouldn't even have come.

After all, it followed the aura of the Freedom Sword here. Without that sword, this wall‑outside creature wouldn't have tracked this threat to this place and wouldn't even head this way, because its actual post isn't here at all, but deeper in the outer‑wall depths.

If Taichu Zhenren and the others wanted to encounter this wall‑outside creature, aside from it taking the initiative to appear, they would also have to keep heading forward at today's pace for about half a month. That distance would more or less bring them into this wall‑outside creature's territory. But because some accidents occurred,

this wall‑outside creature arrived ahead of schedule. That means Taichu Zhenren and the others ran into it earlier than they should have.

Whether they met it sooner or later, they were bound to face this wall‑outside creature eventually. But having such a powerful wall‑outside creature show up all of a sudden really caught everyone off guard, because this wall‑outside creature is simply too strong—stronger than Taichu Zhenren himself.

That means in the upcoming battle, almost nobody will be able to intervene. Even if they do step in, they'll only be able to provide support from afar, or the few Chief Seats can help a bit. The rest can only stare helplessly.

Still, that doesn't mean everyone is useless. If they can throw a few pellets of pure Spiritual Power from a distance, that's something too.

Though odds are they won't be able to aim properly, because at Taichu Zhenren's level of combat, if it comes down to close‑quarters fighting, the speed will be so fast that they won't even be able to see the silhouettes.
