Chapter 187: You Are the True Bastard!

“Bastard!”

Watching himself being teleported tens of thousands of li away in an instant, the killing intent in Ye Xingfeng’s eyes surged instantly, almost overflowing.

Not only because he was teleported away by Lu Yang as if being toyed with, but more importantly because of Lu Yang’s cultivation.

“Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment…”

As far as he knew, it had been less than a hundred years since Lu Yang achieved Foundation Establishment. In just a short hundred years, he could comprehend a Life-Bound Divine Ability, accumulate enough merit and qi destiny, and find the Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend…

Talent outstanding and unrivaled.

“However, he is not my opponent.”

As a Sword Cultivator, Ye Xingfeng’s judgment of the strength of both enemies and himself was incomparably precise. He had long seen that Lu Yang actually had no means to deal with his Flying Sword.

Although he didn’t know what means Lu Yang used to seal one divine wonder of his Flying Sword, it seemed sealing one was his limit. It affected his sword qi, but not much. At most, it just teleported him away, but couldn’t truly hurt him, let alone defeat him.

With this thought, Ye Xingfeng’s killing intent became firmer.

This child must die!

In the next second, he merged his body with the Sword Pellet again, flying away towards Lu Yang’s direction. With his Sword Escape Technique, tens of thousands of li wouldn’t take long.

Meanwhile, on the Star Constellation Sea.

Patriarch Nether Whisper looked at Lu Yang with a strange expression: “Didn’t you say not to temporarily avoid clashing head on?”

“Patriarch, don’t misunderstand.”

Lu Yang shook his head, his thick skin appearing very calm: “I’m just sparing his life temporarily; now is not the time to take him down.”

Before his voice fell, Lu Yang first used the [Investigating Heaven Instrument] to clear the karmic lock on his body, then used [Embrace and Guard Mountain] to rapidly restrain his aura. Only then did he follow the karmic connection in the unseen world, casting [Determine Intimacy and Distance], piercing through the void, disappearing without a trace with the speed of lightning.

A dozen breaths later, sword light flew over.

“…Ran away?”

Ye Xingfeng looked ugly. He immediately calculated with his fingers, attempting to calculate Lu Yang’s whereabouts through karma. However, what he got this time was a blank.

Inside a Divine Ability brilliance where rosy clouds flew up.

Lu Yang’s figure emerged. Patriarch Nether Whisper stood behind him, sighing: “You kid, this escape technique can be considered shocking to the world.”

“I wasn’t running away; I was competing in escape speed with him.”

“Facts prove he is far inferior to me!”

Lu Yang’s tone was extremely serious, without the slightest feeling of talking nonsense. Seeing his solemn expression, Patriarch Nether Whisper almost believed him for a moment.

“By the way, where have you escaped to?”

Lu Yang shook his head: “I directly burned the remaining merit and qi destiny, locked onto the karmic location of the [Avici Sword], and then escaped over.”

After speaking, Lu Yang calculated directly with his fingers. With the assistance of the [Investigating Heaven Instrument], plus his deep karma with the [Avici Sword], he understood the sequence of events effortlessly. At the same time, [Determine Intimacy and Distance] also ended its operation.

Whoosh whoosh…

The Divine Ability brilliance dissipated quietly. Lu Yang looked around and found himself landing on an island, surrounded by lingering hazy crimson glimmer.

Outside the island was the Soul-Dissolving Wind that never dispersed all year round.

“This is the Foundation Establishment Realm!”

A touch of surprise flashed in Lu Yang’s eyes. This was the first time he saw things outside the Dao Foundation within the Foundation Establishment Realm. Someone actually built an island here?

“This place is named [Blood Demon Island]…”

Lu Yang rubbed his fingers, continuing to calculate intelligence:

“Every hundred years, [Blood Demon Island] will fall from the Foundation Establishment Realm into the present world, devouring living things around it to maintain the formation operation within the island.”

“And the person who built this island is the original owner of the [Avici Sword], the Saint Sect’s former Late Stage Foundation Establishment Grand Perfected One, Daoist name Blood Demon… His soul is inside the island, currently in deep sleep. And what I have to do is help him reincarnate back… back… F*** me!”

Suddenly, Lu Yang stopped his movements abruptly.

Because just now, he finally calculated what the method was to fulfill the karma he accepted and help that Saint Sect Perfected One Blood Demon reincarnate and return.

“This Perfected One Blood Demon had too heavy a killing nature in life.”

“So much so that during a certain travel, he actually killed a naturally bred Immortal Spirit. As a result, he suffered Heavenly Punishment and had to be a pig or dog for three lifetimes to repay.”

However, being able to achieve Late Stage Foundation Establishment, Perfected One Blood Demon was already in the late years of his third life. Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones had at most five lives. If he really went to be a pig or dog for three lives, he would be like Arhat Fu Long, with no chance of transcendence in this lifetime, and even the cultivation of previous lives would be lost in one morning.

So he thought of a way.

He sent the [Avici Sword] and [Three-Nine Soul-Dissolving Gourd] back to the Saint Sect, then hid in the Foundation Establishment Realm via [Blood Demon Island], isolating the influence of Samsara.

To put it bluntly, he forced himself not to reincarnate.

Of course, this was just a delaying tactic. Not only was he no different from a vegetable, leading a life worse than death, but over time he still couldn’t escape reincarnation.

So the key was the karma of the [Avici Sword].

Perfected One Blood Demon couldn’t reincarnate because of Heavenly Punishment. And the person who took the [Avici Sword] must help him reincarnate. So how to help him?

“F***ing making me a scapegoat!”

Every person who accepted the karma of the [Avici Sword] would be used by him via karma after entering Blood Demon Island, using a secret technique to shift a portion of the power of Heavenly Punishment onto them.

Over time, the Heavenly Punishment would all be shifted away.

And Perfected One Blood Demon could regain his freedom, re-enter Samsara debt-free, start over, and quickly return to Late Stage Foundation Establishment.

So the successive sword masters of the [Avici Sword] all died violently for various reasons. After all, they shared Perfected One Blood Demon’s Heavenly Punishment, couldn’t escape Tribulation Qi blinding their hearts, and thus fell one after another. Over time, the Perfected Ones of the Saint Sect naturally dared not touch it anymore.

“Bastard!”

Lu Yang was so angry his hands were trembling. He only felt he still overestimated the bottom line of Saint Sect Perfected Ones.

They actually came up with such a despicable plan!

And they even specialized in screwing over their own sect’s perfected one!

These people had hearts blacker than ink!

Compared to these bastard of the Saint Sect, his own honest and kind-hearted self was like a white lotus, unstained by the mud, pure and untainted..

However, soon, Lu Yang discovered something amiss.

“Heaven-Deceiving Great Art?”

That Perfected One Blood Demon actually left behind the secret technique he used to shift Heavenly Punishment via karma. Anyone who accepted his karma could calculate it!

Looking at the contents of the secret technique he had deduced, Lu Yang fell into deep thought, his expression growing increasingly strange: “He deliberately left this secret technique… Damn it, could he be intentionally encouraging those who got screwed to use the same method to screw others?”

Even recruiting downline participants!

At this thought, Lü Yang’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Speaking of which, I am now shrouded in heaven’s killing intent, and all those connected to me by karma are waiting outside for me…”

He suddenly had a bold idea.

The principle of the Heaven-Deceiving Great Art was nothing more than passing on the karma of giving treasures, letting the other party bear the Heavenly Punishment instead, giving one point of capital but collecting ten times the profit.

“Since it is so, why don’t I also learn from the advanced experience of Saint Sect Perfected Ones. Perfected One Blood Demon made a [Blood Demon Island]; I’ll also make one… Yes, make a secret realm that just appeared, with heavenly materials and earthly treasures everywhere, filled with my treasures inside. People who come in can take whatever they want…”

Taking it means owing my karma!

“At that time, I will use the Heaven-Deceiving Great Art to transfer all the Heavenly Punishment to the people owing me karma, making Tribulation Qi blind their hearts, killing each other for the treasures in the secret realm.”

“When they are almost dead, and the survivors are mostly heavily injured, I will come out to clean up the mess, kill everyone in one fell swoop, and incidentally take back the treasures sent out earlier… Doing this is simply huge profit with no capital. Perfected One Blood Demon was still too conservative!”

“…”

Good guy!

Patriarch Nether Whisper stood beside Lu Yang, looking helpless— Compared to a Saint Sect pillar like you, what does Perfected One Blood Demon count as? You are the true bastard!
