Chapter 141: Imperial Dragon Chariot

Above the dome of heaven, Perfected One Huan Wu was fleeing in a wretched state.

The blood droplets scattered over half of Skull Mountain, falling like flying fire and meteors, were actually fragments of his Dao Foundation, his lifelong cultivation.

However, at this moment, he couldn’t care about that much…

If he didn’t run, he would die here!

In an instant, the rolling blood qi transformed into a rainbow piercing the sky, about to fly out of Skull Mountain. However, just then, another white light brushed across the sky.

In the next second, Perfected One Huan Wu returned to face Lu Yang again.

Lu Yang was planning to strike again with his sword, but suddenly stopped his movement. He saw that the current Perfected One Huan Wu had a dull expression and dim pupils; he was unexpectedly an empty shell.

“Left the physical body, the soul ran away.”

Lu Yang frowned slightly. Within the golden auspicious clouds above his head, the light and shadow of his Life-Bound Divine Ability became increasingly bright, seeming about to manifest completely from within the clouds.

However, in the end, Lu Yang exhaled a deep breath of turbid air, restrained the Divine Ability, and didn’t continue chasing… Although he was confident he had a hundred percent certainty of catching the other party, doing so would make it impossible to continue concealing his Life-Bound Divine Ability. Bystanders could easily calculate his details.

“Forget it.”

Thinking of this, Lu Yang stopped pursuing and released the [Avici Sword] in his hand. After leaving his hand, the [Avici Sword] spun gracefully in the air.

In the next second, red light flashed.

A little girl about eight or nine years old, wearing a red cotton jacket and with her hair tied in a sky-pointing braid, walked out. Looking at Perfected One Huan Wu, she couldn’t help but pout.

She took action again after many years, yet unexpectedly failed to slay the opponent. Where could she put this little face of hers? Seeing Lu Yang deep in thought, she was even more afraid Lu Yang would look down on her, so she hurriedly said, “If not for this Great Aunt suffering some injuries and not yet recovering, I definitely would have killed that Perfected One.”

Lu Yang looked at the [Avici Sword] again upon hearing this.

“…You can still become stronger?”

“Of course!”

Speaking of this, the girl instantly put her hands on her hips and raised her head, saying proudly, “This Great Aunt specializes in breaking cultivators’ Dao Foundations, and devouring Dao Foundations can also boost my power.”

At this point, as if recalling the glorious days of the past, the girl gestured with dancing hands and feet: “Don’t need much either. Give me ten or eight to eat. Even if they are only at the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment, this Great Aunt can recover thirty percent of my level and manifest a [Divine Wonder]. At that time, I guarantee you will be invincible within the same realm!”

“Oh.”

Facing the girl’s boasting, Lu Yang just nodded casually. Then with a wave of his hand, he kept the girl who wanted to say more into his sleeve.

He wasn’t interested in being invincible within the same realm.

After all, if he could bully the weak, why fight opponents in the same realm?

Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t value combat power. Fighting Perfected One Huan Wu fiercely this time, even using his Life-Bound Divine Ability, was to test his own combat power.

After all, he could choose not to use it, but he couldn’t be without it.

Moreover, this Life-Bound Divine Ability of mine… is truly extraordinary!

Lu Yang looked inside himself. Within the Foundation Establishment Realm, in the deepest part of the golden auspicious cloud transformed from his Dao Foundation, a chariot made entirely of gold and jade was parked.

Pulling this chariot were four Flood Dragons with illusory forms, breathing clouds and mist, constantly emitting dragon roars like wind and thunder. Around the chariot stood twelve large banners, followed by the Golden Chariot, Elephant Chariot, Plough Root Chariot, Peace Chariot, Four-View Chariot, and many other accompaniments.

At a glance, it was solemn and dignified.

This was Lu Yang’s Life-Bound Divine Ability, named [Imperial Dragon Chariot]. As for its efficacy, Lu Yang received feedback from the Divine Ability and could summarize it in one sentence.

“Conduct cultivates speech and Dao, manifesting the surface of heaven and earth; can Determine Intimacy and Distance, Resolve Suspicion, Distinguish Same and Different, Clarify Right and Wrong!”

As the name suggested, this Life-Bound Divine Ability had a total of four [Divine Wonders]. Although they couldn’t be used simultaneously, each [Divine Wonder] had immense power.

What Lu Yang had been using previously was [Determine Intimacy and Distance].

As the saying goes, intimacy and distance, close to the intimate, far from the distant. The function of this [Divine Wonder] was to judge the intimacy between oneself and outsiders, altering the distance between each other.

previously, whether sending away Perfected One Yu Shu of the Saint Sect or dodging Perfected One Huan Wu’s fatal axe and severely injuring him, that method of wanton teleportation was the power of [Determine Intimacy and Distance]. Although it lacked direct lethality, it made Lu Yang’s combat much more flexible.

And running away was very convenient.

After all, the coverage range of this Divine Ability was unimaginably broad.

As long as there was karmic entanglement with Lu Yang, he could use this Divine Ability to rush over. Distance was unlimited; it was nothing more than the amount of spiritual power consumed.

So he was certain just now that he could catch up to Perfected One Huan Wu.

The reason Arhat Fu Long could appear precisely without error after sensing his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment back then was probably because his Life-Bound Ability also had similar profundities.

As for the remaining three [Divine Wonders], they were equally peculiar.

[Resolve Suspicion] governs karma. When karma is divided and major events are undecided, one can use this [Divine Wonder] to forcibly guide it to the result one needs.

This [Divine Wonder] works wonderfully in pushing karma. Although the more numerous and heavier the karma, the more spiritual power is consumed to forcibly guide the result, correspondingly, this Divine Ability can eliminate all variables, ensuring that a certain event one wants to happen will definitely happen.

Of course, in this way, one will inevitably be tainted with the corresponding karma.

Thus there is [Distinguish Same and Different].

As the name implies, this method can distinguish between same and different. You are you, I am me; what does what you do have to do with me? Specifically used to sever karma with others.

At that time, the other party’s karma won’t be able to taint you.

For example, regarding the karmic debt carried by the [Avici Sword], Lu Yang estimated that once he broke through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, he could use this Divine Ability to make a divine cut from it.

Therefore, [Distinguish Same and Different] is often used in conjunction with [Resolve Suspicion].

If the cultivation is sufficient and spiritual power high enough, relying on this [Divine Wonder], one can even achieve being untouched by karma and untainted by tribulation. That is true great freedom and ease!

As for the last one, [Clarify Right and Wrong], it is even more domineering.

Clarifying right and wrong is not the generally accepted right and wrong, but the right and wrong of one’s own heart. If I say it is right, then it is right. The affairs of the world, right and wrong, can all be decided by a single word!

However, although this [Divine Wonder] is domineering, its effect on the same realm is greatly reduced. What is truly powerful is using it on lower realms. That is truly “Speech Follows Law.” Used to the extreme, just one sentence from him could even increase a Qi Refining cultivator’s chance of charging at Foundation Establishment by ten percent!

“[Imperial Dragon Chariot]…”

Lu Yang rode the wind in the void, his expression calm, pondering secretly in his heart:

“Life-Bound Divine Ability isn’t condensed casually. Generally, it takes the Dao Foundation as the main component, while the soul guides the direction. The derived Life-Bound Ability fits oneself the most.”

“Therefore, even with the same Dao Foundation, different cultivators’ Life-Bound Abilities will have slight differences.”

“And my Life-Bound Ability…”

Just looking at these four Divine Abilities—escaping, shifting blame, severing ties—none are for direct combat. To some extent, it really fits his personality.

“Moreover, my Life-Bound Divine Ability has a full four [Divine Wonders].”

“Compared to me, that Perfected One Huan Wu only had one [Divine Wonder]. Is this the gap between Dao Foundations? Or is it because I have a Perfect Foundation Establishment?”

Just then, the approach of three auras startled Lu Yang awake.

Looking back, he saw the three Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones sent by the Saint Sect to assist him in jointly annihilating the Divine Martial Sect standing not far away with reserved expressions.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yuan Tu.”

One of the Perfected Ones praised: “Fellow Daoist has a Perfect Foundation Establishment, numerous Spirit Treasures, and extraordinary Divine Abilities. It seems the general trend of annihilating the Divine Martial Sect this time is set.”

“You flatter me…”

Lu Yang returned the greeting. Then, among the three Perfected Ones, a middle-aged man with a square face and flowing long beard, looking rather noble, paced out.

“This humble one is Yu Zhong.”

The man bowed first, then smiled: “Yu Shu is my junior. Previously he offended the Perfected One; I came specifically to apologize this time.”

Speaking of this, his eyes looked eager, and he couldn’t wait to say: “This place is not suitable for much talk.”

“Fellow Daoist Yuan Tu, how about we go inside to talk in detail?”

Speaking of this, fearing Lu Yang would refuse, he added a sentence using the sound transmission method: “…It concerns [City Rampart Earth], Fellow Daoist’s future Dao path!”

“…Oh?”

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes instantly upon hearing this.
