Chapter 415: Analyzing Urban Legends: The Power of Existence (5/7, Request Subscription)

Su Xiao: "So, how strong is this urban legend?"

Chihaya Airi: "I want to know too!"

Sakurajima Mai: "When Taixuan Jun arrived, he halted time and space—so the opponent must be quite strong?"

Butterfly Kanae: "Husband actually halted time and space just by going there?!"

Raiden Shogun: "So the opponent really has some ability then!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Are you overthinking this? I just wanted to be safe. This urban legend—so long as your cultivation is at the Five Elements stage, its elemental abilities won't affect you much."

Ye Hei: "So weak?"

Han Paopao: "Not weak at all, Brother Ye. It's just an ordinary world; that deity was already invincible there."

Komaki: "That's true. Only those above the Five Elements stage can resist its power. In a normal urban society, it's already extremely powerful."

Bai Suzhen: "At the Five Elements stage—even in my world—that's already a notable existence. Without immortals or Buddhas appearing, no one dares provoke it."

Kikyo: "I was a bit worried before, but it turns out it's just a minor demon."

Zhang Taixuan: "No, it's stronger than ordinary demons. This is an urban legend that manipulates laws. Ordinary great demons are nothing before it—they're toyed with and killed. It may be weak, but in its own realm, it's one of the most powerful."

Butterfly Kanae: "Rule-based abilities are insane. So weak, yet it mastered its own law."

Su Xiao: "Belief power is truly miraculous."

Genshin: "Human hearts are the greatest miracle. Many deities arise from human thoughts—it's not strange. @Zhang Taixuan, by the way, what are you planning to do with that deity?"

Zhang Taixuan: "I'm studying it, seeing if I can comprehend a few divine arts."

Su Xiao: "Wow, Brother Taixuan is so diligent, already starting work again."

Zhang Taixuan: "You've got it wrong—this is clearly leisure and entertainment. 【Video】"

Su Xiao: "Damn it, I wish Shi Yu would feed me fruit too."

Komaki: "Mikoto is there too, wearing a shrine maiden's robe—so beautiful."

Hu Yifei: "Dao Jun really has a relaxed life, doesn't he?"

Genshin: "Butterfly Shinobu is here too!"

Zhang Taixuan: "【Smug】 Done. First, study the deity, then we'll talk."

Su Xiao: "Wow, are you studying the deity—or doing something else? You can fool others, but don't fool us!"

Komaki: "Young Lady's having another fit. I support you going all in."

Su Xiao: "..."

Ye Hei: "Laughing so hard—Su Xiao backed down again."

Daluo Heaven.

Zhang Taixuan held in his hand a transparent crystal like glass, contemplating its mysteries.

This was precisely what the urban legend left behind after its death.

Originally, the battle was simple.

Time and space halted, then he crushed it outright.

The urban legend never even had a chance to react—it was dead before it knew what happened.

【You have comprehended the core of the urban legend, understood the essence of belief power: the purest form of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires. Belief power is fundamentally no different from demonic power—one is righteous, the other evil.】

"No wonder demons and Buddhas are always linked—both draw power from human hearts."

"And Fomen always says 'one thought becomes Buddha, one thought becomes demon'—probably because both rely on belief."

"This also explains 'instant enlightenment.' Belief power is immensely strong—if belief is sufficient, one can become a Buddha in an instant."

Yet, becoming a Buddha this way means losing oneself—becoming a puppet of belief.

Without supreme wisdom and without cultivation, how could a mortal soul withstand the impact of infinite beings' faith?

【You combined the essence of belief and created the Belief Enshrinement Method!】

【You comprehended the core of the urban legend, understood its divine art, and deciphered the art: Clone!】

【You studied the nature of the Clone art, fixed its flaws, and now possess the perfected divine art: Perfect Clone Technique.】

The urban legend's Clone art manifested through Futaba Riona.

But the urban legend's clones were flawed—each had its own personality and refused to coordinate with the original.

This art was useless to Zhang Taixuan.

He wanted to create arts for combat, not to complicate his own life.

【You comprehended the core of the urban legend and deciphered the art: Simulate Future.】

【You comprehended the core of the urban legend and deciphered the art: Soul Swap.】

【You comprehended the core of the urban legend and deciphered the art: Time Travel.】

【You comprehended… and deciphered the art: Sense of Existence Control.】

【You comprehended the art of Sense of Existence Control, understood the mystery of existence, and created a cultivation method for Existence Power.】

Existence Power—a force distinct from magic power, true origin, and Primordial Spirit.

It is a foundational force, extremely potent—it directly relates to the cultivator's true spirit imprint.

Once existence vanishes, the person disappears from the fundamental source of heaven and earth, and even their true spirit imprint vanishes with it.

Without mastery of the Dao of Existence, even ordinary space-time arts cannot locate that person from the past.

This is a terrifying Great Dao!

Of course, cultivating any Great Dao is never simple.

To completely erase a being's existence—even its true spirit imprint—is no easy task even for an Existence Power cultivator.

It requires the cultivator to study Existence Power to an extremely profound level.

After comprehending several divine arts, the crystal core in Zhang Taixuan's hand could no longer hold out—it turned to ash and vanished.

Even so, it was only because he had previously frozen this crystal in time.

Otherwise, having lost the supply of human-heart power, the crystal should have dispersed long ago.

In the end, this urban legend's power had not yet reached its peak, nor had it condensed a real form — among urban legends, it was still an infant.

Of course, because its laws were too overpowered, its combat strength was not weak.

"｀ 」This is what happens when you want too much and end up dying badly."

A normal urban legend only has one ability, like the Slit-Mouthed Woman, so condensing a form is easy.

Yingdao Mai ran into this urban legend that was far too greedy — it had condensed a whole pile of law prototypes, so condensing a real form was extremely difficult.

One could say that without a thousand years, it had no hope of condensing a body at all.

Earlier, it had sensed Yingdao Mai's power and couldn't resist jumping out, wanting to seek power beyond faith, recklessly attempting to condense a real form ahead of time.

But it never expected that Yingdao Mai's power came from another world, and so it poked the hornet's nest and perished on the spot.

"There's still one thing on my mind — I need to go over there."

He opened the chat group.

Zhang Taixuan: "Mai, open the permissions, I need to go over for a bit."

Yingdao Mai: "Taixuan-kun, you're not going to look for Futaba, or some other girl, are you? Being too fickle isn't good, you know."

Yingdao (damn it) Mai: "Permissions opened."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Mouth saying it's not okay, but the body's very honest, huh."
