Chapter 265: Joy Begets Sorrow

Looking at Chen Anmin, whose face was full of dissatisfaction and whose tone no longer carried the initial respect and adoration but was full of blame instead, Lu Yang couldn’t help sighing in his heart:

Ungrateful dog..

Or rather, the time was too short, and my prestige was insufficient. Otherwise, even with the Dao Fruit enticing his fate, he shouldn’t have changed his attitude so quickly.

Chen Anmin’s state was clearly wrong.

Lu Yang could see that there were factors of his own inflated ambition as well as the traction of the Dao Fruit. It seemed this World Realm planned to turn hostile.

In the next second, Lu Yang discovered that the [Villager] Destiny Star above his head suddenly extinguished. The symbol of a “local” vanished out of thin air, and an Aura distinctly different from ordinary people spread out, instantly causing gasps from others. Seeing this, Chen Anmin was even more stunned on the spot.

“Immortal Master… you…”

Obviously, Chen Anmin hadn’t expected that the Immortal Master who helped him and over a million [Villagers] regain a new life was actually an Heavenly Demon.

But soon, he reacted.

Heavenly Demon… This is an Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon! If I kill him, I can obtain the Supreme Position of the Night Son of Heaven. Then I will be the Supreme of the World!

In an instant, Chen Anmin’s eyes turned red.

Then he heard the “Immortal Master” in front of him suddenly sigh deeply, then look at him calmly: “Anmin, you want to act against me?”

Chen Anmin’s movements stagnated slightly.

However, he soon revealed a ferocious expression and shouted loudly: “Heavenly Demon, you harmed so many of our compatriots and still dare to bewitch people’s hearts!”

“Kill him…”

Before Chen Anmin could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach. Not only that, but everyone who had killing intent at this moment felt the same sensation.

Splurt!

In the next second, sharp claws tore directly through their bodies. Without any ability to resist, mature [Qi-Eating Insects] crawled slowly out of their bodies one by one, taking away all their spirit, energy, and spirit, instantly knocking them from the peak back to the abyss.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, a thunderclap suddenly resounded in the dome of the sky. The stars shook, and the originally clear sky turned overcast with dark clouds in the blink of an eye.

“Only realizing now? Too late!”

Lu Yang grinned, forming hand seals. He directly recalled the [Qi-Eating Insect] from Chen Anmin’s body. While killing him, he also began to circulate the Qi Harvesting Method!

In an instant, the heavenly stars shifted position. The light of the Sun Star originally falling on Chen Anmin was uncontrollably drawn to fall on Lu Yang under his traction, completely absorbed by him. Under the illumination of sunlight, the majestic illusory form with three heads and six arms appeared behind his head again.

Whoosh!

The illusory form devoured the brilliance of the [Bright Son of Heaven] like a whale swallowing water, gradually becoming more vivid and real.

Not only that, but the light of the Destiny Stars of others who acted against Lu Yang and were finally killed by [Qi-Eating Insects] bursting out of their bodies was also completely harvested by Lu Yang!

Thump!

At this moment, people who didn’t act against Lu Yang out of awe knelt on the ground one after another, feeling themselves gradually becoming insignificant standing before Lu Yang.

Looking up, what met their eyes seemed no longer a person, but a divine statue. The solemn and majestic face looked down like this. Everyone felt as if he was looking right at them, and they instantly lowered their heads in extreme fear, throwing themselves to the ground, daring not look again.

[Qian Heaven All-Governing Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body]!

“It’s done…!”

Lu Yang, backed by the majestic illusory form, narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. Even with dark clouds covering the dome of the sky and thunder snakes interlacing, he still enjoyed it like sweet candy.

“The intelligence of a Dao Fruit… is ultimately a fool.”

Lu Yang smiled coldly. If the Dao Fruit of this World Realm were a bit smarter, it wouldn’t have allowed him to inject [Qi-Eating Insects] into the bodies of the people.

However, the other party coveted his Earth Vein Qi on one hand, and saw him dealing with Perfected One Miaoyin on the other, completely failing to perceive the danger. As a result, it allowed him to do as he pleased. Little did it know that he was waiting for this moment—a [Bright Son of Heaven] was enough to condense the Dharma Body!

“Besides, you turned hostile first; this is legitimate self-defense.”

Lu Yang exhaled deeply, sensing the boost brought by the [Qian Heaven All-Governing Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body]. Unceremoniously speaking, this was almost equal to an Innate Divine Ability!

But before he could sense its specific divine wonders, a loud noise suddenly came from the dome of the sky.

Boom!

In the next second, Lu Yang saw that all the people around him who had been planted with [Qi-Eating Insects] lost the light of their Destiny Stars without exception at this moment.

Above the dome of the sky, a large area suddenly dimmed!

Evidently, the Dao Fruit of the [Myriad Martial World Realm] had realized something was wrong and directly cut its losses like a warrior severing his wrist, abandoning all these people!

Immediately after, Lu Yang saw streaks of blood Qi rainbow light rising in the distance. It was shockingly the direction of the government troops. However, the aura was countless times stronger than usual. The aura of the leader had even reached the level of Chen Anmin just now—shockingly another Supreme Son of Heaven!

“…This is being a sore loser.”

Lu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly. The government troops of the [Myriad Martial World Realm] court hadn’t been planted with [Qi-Eating Insect] eggs. If they really attacked, he would definitely die without a burial place.

“Fortunately, my goal has been achieved.”

With the [Qian Heaven All-Governing Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body] accomplished, there was no point in staying here. Thinking of this, Lu Yang immediately triggered the imprint in his sea of consciousness.

Soon, a voice sounded in his mind: “Eh? Done so quickly?”

It was shockingly the voice from the [Heaven-Reaching Hall] of the Saint Sect, sounding milky and slightly surprised: “Then wait a moment, I’ll pull you back now…”

The recall traction of the [Heaven-Reaching Hall] required an absolutely safe environment. Otherwise, under the interaction of heaven and earth’s aura, the [Heaven-Reaching Hall] couldn’t pull people out of thin air. That was why Perfected One Miaoyin couldn’t even escape when besieged earlier. However, Lu Yang didn’t have such trouble now.

Soon, brilliant light appeared on his body.

Almost simultaneously, the sound of thunder in the sky became louder and louder, as if someone was roaring in exasperation, making Lu Yang feel somewhat apprehensive.

Seems I’ve really pissed off the World Realm this time?

Next time I come, I’ll probably be discovered immediately and then besieged… The difficulty of Qi Harvesting has soared several times. No wonder Rank 2 True Arts are hard to practice!

For Rank 2 True Arts, the [Qian Heaven All-Governing Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body] was just the foundation. To completely plunder this Dao Fruit of the [Myriad Martial World Realm], one Qi Harvesting session was far from enough. Huge gains like this one would be needed at least four or five more times to truly have a hope of plundering it.

But just once made the World Realm so furious; four or five more times?

Even a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator would probably encounter considerable danger. A slight carelessness, and dying in the [Myriad Martial World Realm] wasn’t impossible!

But… I am different!

If this life doesn’t work, then the next life. By then, the hatred will be cleared. I can use the same method to grind it again. Just grind for four or five lives, and it’ll be done, right?

The biggest hurdle of Rank 2 True Arts didn’t exist for him at all!

The Dao path is hopeful… The Dao path is hopeful!

After figuring this out, Lu Yang was instantly in a good mood. He put away the [Qian Heaven All-Governing Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body] and even had the interest to wave at the sky:

“Goodbye.”

However, as his voice fell, Lu Yang’s expression gradually froze.

The thunder in the sky paused at the moment of explosive flashing. All brilliant light and spiritual Qi were frozen at a certain instant, finally presenting a subtle mist-like state.

“……”

Lu Yang’s smile gradually faded. His mind, which originally operated smoothly, seemed to have a giant rock added out of thin air, weighing down his thoughts and dulling his ideas.

Unknown when it started, sounds disappeared. Thunder, shouts… even Lu Yang himself couldn’t help holding his breath, daring not make a sound.

Out of some intuition, he slowly turned around, as if lifting a certain veil of confusion, only to discover that someone had been following him from beginning to end.

Starting from entering the [Myriad Martial World Realm], this person had followed by his side, followed him distributing [Qi-Eating Insect] eggs, followed him besieging Perfected One Miaoyin, followed him trading with Suo Huan, followed him refining the [Qian Heaven All-Governing Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body]…

Who is it!?

Lu Yang moved his gaze up bit by bit, seeing that person with a leisurely expression, hands behind his back, looking at the dark clouds overhead with interest. His blue robe was simple and dignified, like an ancient person walking out of history.

However, when Lu Yang saw his face, he fell into even greater shock.

Because that face was all too familiar to him.

Chong Guang? How can it be Chong Guang!

In this instant, Lu Yang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, yet his thoughts also became clear all of a sudden.

No… it’s a Dao Sin! The Dao Sin formed after Chong Guang failed to Seek Golden Core and died!

At the moment of realization, an even greater shock followed.

Seeking Golden Core failed, transforming into a Dao Sin after death… such a big matter… why didn’t I think of it before?

No, not just me. Including the Perfected Lords of the world, no one thought about the issue of the Dao Sin, as if it didn’t exist from the beginning!

…Barrier of Knowledge?

He is that [Great Forest Wood]… Perfected Lord Sky-Shrouding!
