Chapter 411: Breakthrough and the End of the Assembly! (Final Chapter of this Volume)
Since there were several days of rest before the finals, the matchup list would be released in advance, allowing everyone to know who their opponents were ahead of time.
Zhao Xing reviewed Wu Chuanlan's performance across multiple rounds of the competition.
"Wu Chuanlan of the Heya Galaxy is a dual practitioner of the Life Array Stream and the Extreme Dao Stream! In the fourth-round free-for-all on the Primordial World arena, Wu Chuanlan displayed powerful dominance."
"He is a combination of Lu Nansong and Ruan Xingluo, and in his performance over the first three rounds, his mental will, Dao field, and even physical defense were all formidable."
"Comprehensive assessment: Wu Chuanlan is definitely a powerful reincarnation of the Samsara Realm, and he was a Siling in his past life—not the type who chose other professions just to enhance his true spirit."
A distinct trait of Samsara Realm reincarnations is that they are powerful and well-rounded.
It is already quite impressive for an ordinary genius to master one stream in the Origin Realm, but reincarnations usually master multiple streams.
This is because the path they are walking now is one they have already traversed once in a past life.
Naturally, they do not need to spend much time to reach a very high level.
"Wu Chuanlan is only a little over six hundred years old, yet his attainments in both the Life Array Stream and the Extreme Dao Stream are very high."
"In the 75-person free-for-all, his moves were identical to Lu Nansong's; he used plant-type units to deploy teleportation arrays in the deep void, instantly sending away a large number of competitors the moment they landed."
"In the semi-finals and the round-robin tournament, he was undefeated, again showing powerful attack capabilities by using the 'Star Ripple Treasure Tree' as a Myriad Law Mother Tree to create two plant-type units at the Dao Domain Realm of Yin and Yang."
In fact, looking at Wu Chuanlan's data, he is strong in other aspects as well; it is just that his Life Array and Extreme Dao spells are the most dazzling.
"Being able to control two mother trees, he might even be able to briefly possess a mother tree at the Dao Domain Realm of Life and Death..."
Sweat began to bead on Zhao Xing's forehead—not out of fear, but because he was simulating the duel with Wu Chuanlan in his mind.
Frequently dealing with scholars, Zhao Xing had also learned a small soul technique of theirs: 【Mental Training】.
The stronger the soul and the more complete the collected data, the more realistic the mental training simulation becomes.
Zhao Xing's Three God Life Palaces, divided into billions, could fully support such massive calculations.
He himself had a deep understanding of various streams and spells, so the simulations were very realistic, which also meant they were highly taxing.
"Boom~"
The simulation image in his sea of consciousness shattered; Zhao Xing had been suppressed by Wu Chuanlan's Myriad Law Mother Tree once again.
"Hoo~ hoo~"
Zhao Xing panted slightly.
"Ten thousand simulations in three days, and I'm at a four-six split with him—and that's without counting any other trump cards Wu Chuanlan might have."
"Clearly, he hasn't revealed all his cards; my simulation is incomplete."
"If I want to increase my win rate, my World Law 【Three Realms Void】 must achieve a further breakthrough to master the subsequent Great Divine Ability, 'Yin-Yang Boundary Separation'."
"Three Realms Void" was taught by Qiao Song and Yang Zhuo, who were under the command of the North River Lord; the subsequent advanced technique is 【Yin-Yang Boundary Separation】.
"During that special training in North River, I cultivated Three Realms Void to perfection."
"In the Primordial World's treasure land, 【Hundred Fathoms Void】, my Void Dao and Origin World have both made breakthroughs, but I'm still a bit short of a breakthrough in World Law."
World Law is formed by combining Origin Projection with a Dao field and insights into different Daos.
Only by breaking through all three can one master 'Yin-Yang Boundary Separation'.
"If I master Yin-Yang Boundary Separation, I can deploy my Origin Projection to set up the field and defend against the Life Array Stream."
The Life Array Stream has an advantage in World Law; like Lu Nansong, they can silently deploy units to the enemy's feet through the deep void before the enemy can even react.
They can even easily invade the territory of an opponent's projection.
If he had more time, Zhao Xing would be confident in breaking through, but unfortunately, the finals are single-elimination, and the final tests are one after another with little rest time.
"The final duel is about to begin. The countdown is only twelve hours away. Zhao Xing of the North River Galaxy, your opponent is Wu Chuanlan of the Heya Galaxy. Please prepare yourself."
A mechanical voice came from the teleportation room. Zhao Xing quickly adjusted his state, waiting for the battle to arrive.
…………
"The finals are about to start." Inside the Primordial World, at the very top of the Thousand Star Vine, there was a golden-green leaf supporting a city.
In the city were seventy-two figures wearing Siling robes; the lowest among them were at the level of Samsara Emperors, representing the top seventy-two individuals in the Primordial World.
In the six divisions of Siling, on average, only twelve people would take on disciples. Of course, these seventy-two people usually only chose from the 160 participants, and they didn't necessarily fill their quotas.
"Five Poisons, who do you intend to take as a disciple?"
"Me? I only want one: Zhao Xing of the North River Galaxy. I won't fight you all for those peerless geniuses."
Everyone was chatting in small groups, and Emperor Five Poisons expressed his intention.
"Do me a favor, everyone, and don't fight me for him," Emperor Five Poisons said. "It's rare for me to even have the thought of taking a disciple."
"Easy, easy." Many responded. Emperor Five Poisons might not be the strongest in combat among the seventy-two, but he was skilled at cultivating poison-type plants.
When venturing into certain dangerous lands, Emperor Five Poisons' ability to identify native poisonous species was formidable, and his skill in neutralizing them was equally strong.
Even Zuo Qiyu coveted the good things Emperor Five Poisons possessed.
…………
On the Boundary Star arena, two satellites slowly descended.
On one end was Zhao Xing of the North River Galaxy, who was busy collecting competition units on a large scale; the units were rapidly disappearing, being stored into his body.
On the other end was Wu Chuanlan of the Heya Galaxy, whose movements were much more dramatic; a spiritual energy storm enveloped him, and the great tree radiated light... the formation of a Myriad Law Mother Tree was never a quiet affair.
However, neither could see the other's situation during the preparation phase.
"I hope Wu Chuanlan underestimates me and doesn't take me seriously." Zhao Xing looked at the Boundary Star, as if trying to see through it to the scene on the other side.
A month later, the satellites crashed.
The match began with an explosion, and both landed on the Boundary Star simultaneously.
"Hum~"
Plants that looked like bamboo shoots emerged from the ground, but they were golden and covered in dense, tiny thorns.
"A fusion variant spell of the 'Holly' plant unit from the Thorn family and the Golden Sun Bamboo from the Bamboo family?"
"What kind of Life Array can be cast with the characteristics of Holly and Golden Sun Bamboo?"
Zhao Xing's brain raced while his heart sank. He quickly reached out and slapped the ground, destroying the plant units beneath his feet.
He instantly received two pieces of information:
Bad news: Wu Chuanlan didn't seem to underestimate him; he used a spell Zhao Xing had never seen before.
Worse news: He only sensed one of Wu Chuanlan's plant units.
"Going all out from the start? Revealing your trump card without even giving me a chance to land—Wu Chuanlan, you really do think highly of me."
Zhao Xing tried to land three times, but every time he found a landing spot, bamboo shoots covered in thorns emerged from the ground.
Wu Chuanlan's Life Array had two effects: teleportation and barrier-breaking.
He wanted to catch Zhao Xing before he could find his footing.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~
Zhao Xing failed to land three times in a row and could only deploy Three Realms Void, unfolding his Origin Projection in mid-air.
An aerial fortress was formed, but his units were not all Void-types, meaning he inevitably couldn't exert the full strength of the unit-spamming stream.
"Mushroom King, you have great strength. If you hadn't run into me, you might have made it into the top fifty."
"Unfortunately, you met me, so you'll have to stop at this match."
A voice came from the array on the ground. The bamboo began to grow with unstoppable force. Occupying the initiative meant Wu Chuanlan could be the first to seize the remaining spiritual energy on the Boundary Star arena for his own use.
"Wu Chuanlan, it's far too early to talk about victory or defeat!"
The Soul Tree branches swayed, and Zhao Xing began to deploy his troops in the air to counter the attacks emerging from underground.
At this moment, Zhao Xing was still floating in the air, but Wu Chuanlan occupied the ground and had formed eighteen blue-glowing arrays.
Variant plants supported the arrays, and the underground layer absorbed massive amounts of life force.
The center of the upper-level arrays, however, was filled with destructive power.
That was the aura emanating from the Myriad Law Mother Tree, like a blue maw, wanting to swallow the plant fortress in the sky.
【Star Ripple Treasure Tree (Derived Variant)】
【Realm: Early stage of Life and Death Dao Domain Realm】
【Status: Peak Alienated Body (Duration: 12 quarters)】
【Talents: Demon Needle Hell, Phantom Dream Rosemary, Void Water Lily, Causality Dodder, Ice Soul Demon Vine, Nine Yang Sunflower Water, Three Tribulation Heavenly Thunder, Demon Eye Tree Heart...】
【Lifespan: 12 quarters】
……
Terrifying. Zhao Xing looked at Wu Chuanlan's Myriad Law Mother Tree below; it had a full eighteen talents.
Among them were the two most conspicuous Great Divine Abilities.
They were:
【Demon Eye Tree Heart】, Tier 3 Great Divine Ability.
【Three Tribulation Heavenly Thunder】, Tier 4 Great Divine Ability.
"The only drawback is that its existence is too short; it can only exist for 12 quarters."
The Extreme Dao Stream only had one month of preparation time; the mother tree had to fuse many units, so it was impossible for it to live long.
Grafting the talents of other plant life always has a time limit. Normally, to make a mother tree's talents completely stable, it requires ten thousand years of cultivation.
And the more talents added, the longer the time required.
The Sun Treasure Tree and Blue Enchantress within the 【Three Thousand Dao Seeds】 were cultivated by Samsara Emperors over several thousand years, and with special environmental factors, they were able to stabilize over a thousand talents and possess long lifespans.
It was certainly impossible for Wu Chuanlan to make a temporarily cultivated mother tree live for a long time.
"Twelve quarters is enough. How could Zhao Xing possibly hold out for twelve quarters under the attack of a mother tree at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm?"
"He doesn't even know which talents my mother tree has mutated..."
Wu Chuanlan was very confident; Zhao Xing wouldn't even be able to hold out for one quarter.
Even a lion hunting a rabbit uses its full strength; Wu Chuanlan directly activated the mother tree's two strongest Great Divine Abilities.
He wanted to end the battle quickly and send Zhao Xing away.
"Clang~"
The moment Zhao Xing finished reading the mother tree's attributes on the panel, a grandfather clock appeared in his mind.
The hand moved, pointing to the Hour of the Rat, but it quickly shifted, unable to align his mind.
This was the first Great Divine Ability Wu Chuanlan activated: 【Demon Eye Tree Heart】.
Zhao Xing found that just a second ago he was dealing with Wu Chuanlan's attack, but the next second, he suddenly appeared in the Time Cabin of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.
The Great Elder of the Dongyan Ancient Clan, who was also the Lord of Yuanhai, pushed the door open and appeared before Zhao Xing.
"I really didn't expect it to be you; you really made me search for a long time." Dongyan Hai's gaze fixed on Zhao Xing in the main seat, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes as he said word by word: "Qing! Yu! Zi!"
Caught in an illusion!
Zhao Xing understood immediately. He scanned his surroundings and found all nine Emperors present: Emperor Hongshan, Meng Wu, Emperor Lingyuan, Wang Zhiyong...
Just as Zhao Xing was trying to find a way to break free from the illusion, the next second—
That is, after Dongyan Hai said the three words 'Qing Yu Zi'.
The illusion automatically shattered.
"Clang~"
The "Heart Bell" he had purchased and learned from Myriad Heart Island rang again.
The hand aligned, and Zhao Xing broke free from the control.
Zhao Xing: "??"
Wu Chuanlan: "?"
When the illusion shattered, Wu Chuanlan was also somewhat dazed.
His second Great Divine Ability, 'Three Tribulation Heavenly Thunder', had even descended upon Zhao Xing, and the opponent had broken free?
"Could it be that this Mushroom King actually knows a mental Great Divine Ability? Is he hiding it that deep?"
Zhao Xing was also confused. What was going on? Old Qing's name couldn't even be mentioned in an illusion?
Could no one else trigger it?
Was the God Realm really this perverted?
However, he didn't have time to think, because the Three Tribulation Heavenly Thunder had already descended.
The Three Tribulation Heavenly Thunder Great Divine Ability was very small, and its momentum was not great.
It appeared in three colors: purple, red, and black, symbolizing the three Daos of Yin, Yang, and Mind, respectively.
"Treasure Mountain Divine Ability!"
Even though he broke free from the illusion quickly, Zhao Xing didn't have time to deploy Five Finger Mountain to carry it, so he could only use the Treasure Mountain Divine Ability to resist.
"Sss~"
The nine-fold treasure light emitted by the Treasure Mountain Divine Ability instantly extinguished.
It failed to block it, but it caused the heavenly thunder to deflect.
The heavenly thunder had originally been aimed straight at Zhao Xing's head; in spell combat, if the Heavenly Spirit Sea is breached or destroyed, it counts as a defeat.
But now, it only pierced Zhao Xing's right chest, which could only be considered a moderate injury.
It did, however, cause Zhao Xing a brief moment of stiffness, and even the spiritual energy vortex in his dantian almost stopped rotating.
"Hiss~" Zhao Xing gasped, clutching his chest with difficulty. "That really hurts like hell."
Wu Chuanlan's eyes widened.
Two Great Divine Abilities, both hit.
Zhao Xing shook off the influence of the first Great Divine Ability, took the Three Tribulation Heavenly Thunder head-on, and still had the strength to curse.
"Just how tough are you..."
Zhao Xing was numb, and Wu Chuanlan was also numb.
It was the first time he had seen a Siling with such a tough physical body at the Primordial Assembly.
"With such a formidable physical body, could he be another Gui Boyang?"
Gui Boyang was a top-ten contestant from the previous round, famous for his defense.
Every time he fought, he would first scrape dozens of layers of tree bark and leaves from his cultivated plant units to cover himself.
Known as 'Supreme Tree Armor', no one had ever broken through his defense to this day.
However, everyone called him 'Turtle Boyang' or 'Turtle Bo'.
The Supreme Tree Armor was also hailed as Turtle Armor.
"Big, big, big!"
The stunned Wu Chuanlan was awakened by Zhao Xing's voice.
Then came the rumbling sound of a heavy landing.
After carrying the two Great Divine Abilities, Zhao Xing quickly fled the center of the array and took root on the side.
It wouldn't be so simple for Wu Chuanlan to attack again.
After the Myriad Law Mother Tree's Great Divine Ability was cast, two parts of its resin withered, its leaves turned dark yellow, and it appeared listless, clearly having entered a cooldown period.
Wu Chuanlan carried the mother tree to teleport and pursue, wanting to take advantage of Zhao Xing's injury to settle the battle in one go.
"Even if he held on, he's on the verge of elimination." Wu Chuanlan regrouped.
Because he found that invading Zhao Xing's projection territory was very easy.
"Bang!"
However, as soon as he entered the lush forest, he was hit by an explosion.
The mother tree's swaying slowed down, as if it had been frozen, and he himself was also affected.
"Void-type mushrooms?"
Wu Chuanlan looked around and found he had entered a mushroom forest.
Looking down, there were mushrooms; looking up, mushrooms were crashing down like Mount Tai.
Mushrooms were drilling out of the void from all directions, charging into his area.
They were neat and orderly, as if they had lined up to bomb him.
"You... Bang!"
Wu Chuanlan just wanted to teleport out, but a violent explosion had already arrived.
The void fluctuated and twisted, and Wu Chuanlan and the mother tree were frozen for a moment.
"If you pursue, you get bombed." Emperor Five Poisons, watching the battle in Thousand Star City, smiled.
He seemed to see the fate of the Bing-Nine Battle Puppet.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!"
In a series of explosions, Wu Chuanlan was like a small boat in a stormy sea.
Moving forward meant getting bombed, retreating meant getting bombed, and teleporting also meant getting bombed.
Zhao Xing's mushrooms seemed to be everywhere!
Trapped in the plant army of the unit-spamming stream, Wu Chuanlan's mother tree was teetering.
He wanted to retreat and teleport out first, but Zhao Xing was close at hand.
It felt like victory could be achieved in the next second.
However, after several attempts, Wu Chuanlan found that he was still just a little bit away from reaching Zhao Xing, but was always pushed back by the mushroom explosions.
"I've fallen for this guy's trap!"
Wu Chuanlan realized it, but there was nothing he could do, because he had already been poisoned.
The Myriad Law Mother Tree had broken its branches four times and could no longer fully defend against the erosion of the toxins.
He could only strive to defeat Zhao Xing before the poison took effect. Escape? And give the unit-spamming stream more room to deploy? That would have even less chance of winning!
"You bastard, die!"
Wu Chuanlan was angry; facing the teasing of a unit-spamming Siling, it was hard not to be angry.
"He seems angry." Zhao Xing counted the time and kept shifting.
A crazed Wu Chuanlan was indeed terrifying; in his bombardment, Wu Chuanlan could still launch counterattacks to destroy his Soul Tree.
"But this Spirit-Nurturing Heavenly Tree was meant for him to destroy."
"In my deduction, if Wu Chuanlan destroyed the Spirit-Nurturing Heavenly Tree, the scales of victory would tilt in my favor."
Zhao Xing had customized four sets of plans for him; the other three were quick to decide the winner, but Wu Chuanlan chose the most torturous one.
Because he had lost his cool.
This was something Zhao Xing had never expected.
"Could it be that his brain was muddled by the poison gas? Has the Five Elements Soul-Piercing Needle already entered his mind?"
The mushroom units naturally contained the Green Poison Empress, but Zhao Xing wasn't sure of the extent of Wu Chuanlan's poisoning.
The Star Ripple Myriad Law Mother Tree also had strong defense, unlike the Nine Infants Myriad Law Mother Tree, whose defense was not comprehensive.
"Poof, poof, poof, poof~~~"
As time passed, ten quarters quickly went by.
Wu Chuanlan's attack intensity grew weaker and weaker because he was poisoned.
Zhao Xing, meanwhile, was rapidly recovering from his injuries and could already cast a Tier 3 Great Divine Ability Five Finger Mountain.
Out of caution for Wu Chuanlan's attainments in Life Arrays, he didn't cast it easily, as it might not hit.
"Poof!"
In the eleventh quarter, Wu Chuanlan erupted again, casting Three Tribulation Heavenly Thunder.
It destroyed all the mushroom attacks, clearing a patch of clean, scorched earth.
However, his Myriad Law Mother Tree also collapsed, becoming more than half shorter than before.
In the center of the scorched earth, Wu Chuanlan clutched his purple-stained nose and mouth. On the oasis, Zhao Xing revealed a look of confusion.
"You, you..." Wu Chuanlan held his breath to avoid being eliminated by the protective golden light, and managed to say one sentence:
"You really are a beast!"
Then, the poison gas rushed to his brain, and he was instantly teleported away by the protective golden light.
First match of the finals, Zhao Xing wins, Wu Chuanlan loses!
Zhao Xing enters the top 80!
……
After returning to the teleportation room, the toxins in Wu Chuanlan's body were completely purged, and he instantly sobered up.
Reviewing the battle just now, he couldn't help but be speechless.
After a long while, he shook his head.
"What a beastly fighting style; this guy is too insidious!"
After sobering up, Wu Chuanlan still couldn't help but curse.
In his understanding, Zhao Xing must have hidden many tricks earlier.
Because he had also watched Zhao Xing's previous performance and never expected him to be able to withstand the combined attack of two Great Divine Abilities.
Both Great Divine Abilities were unleashed, and he still lost!
Hiding so deep, and using such a torturous way to eliminate him?
Just thinking about it made him angry!
……
"Hmm? Zhao Xing of the North River Galaxy won against Wu Chuanlan?" Inside the green-leaf city of the Thousand Star Vine, the seventy-two Primordial World powerhouses quickly noticed Zhao Xing's performance.
"The Great Divine Ability Demon Eye Tree Heart is a captured talent of the Demon Eye Tree. To be able to withstand it, his mental will is very strong."
"He could also withstand the Three Tribulation Heavenly Thunder; his Dharma body strength is also unexpected."
"A good seedling."
……
Zhao Xing's victory was beyond the expectations of many powerhouses, as Wu Chuanlan's strength was plain for all to see.
In the powerhouses' deductions, Wu Chuanlan was someone who could enter the top twenty.
Yet he suffered an upset defeat to Zhao Xing.
Deep in the Primordial World void, inside a palace.
Emperor Chixing and Gu Luohe were also watching the match.
"Wu Chuanlan lost a bit unjustly."
"Wu Chuanlan triggered Zhao Xing's memory regarding His honorific name, as well as the Yuanhai affair, so the illusion was broken directly," Gu Luohe said.
"Nothing to be done; he can only count himself unlucky," Emperor Chixing shook his head slightly. "Just find a way to make up for it when taking on disciples."
"Hmm," Gu Luohe nodded.
For the two of them, Wu Chuanlan was just a small matter, and Zhao Xing's situation couldn't be handled; they couldn't just forbid people from having such illusions. This wasn't something Zhao Xing could control.
Gu Luohe said: "His situation is somewhat unexpected. In the nearly four hundred years, Zhao Xing has not shown any signs of possessing Samsara memories."
"Everything he has cast is an existing technique, and the roots can be found."
"And his potential has been continuously tapped over the four hundred years, with no signs of slowing down; it doesn't look like..."
"Doesn't look like a Samsara traveler?" Emperor Chixing looked up, voicing the doubt in Gu Luohe's heart.
The latter nodded; he did indeed have doubts.
Gu Luohe naturally knew the inside story of the disaster in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.
Zhao Xing called himself 'Emperor Tianning', indicating he was a powerful reincarnation of the Samsara Realm, and even summoned so many Samsara Realm beings... At first, everyone thought so, including the Empire.
But looking at it now, it overturned previous perceptions.
If he were a Samsara Realm being, Zhao Xing should have released his potential from the Origin Realm period long ago.
Other Samsara Realm beings, due to their experience from multiple lives, often erupt with potential in a very short time, having a period of rapid growth.
Zhao Xing, however, seems to have just begun to tap into it; he doesn't look like a Samsara Emperor at all. In this respect, he doesn't even count as a veteran.
Gu Luohe is a Demigod, and Emperor Chixing is a God Realm being. He asked Emperor Chixing, but the latter shook his head.
"I am also unclear. I'm afraid only Qing Yuzi and the Ancestor know."
…………
"Wu Chuanlan put enough pressure on me, but my World Law still didn't break through." After the battle ended, Zhao Xing was also reviewing it.
"However, breakthroughs during battle are relatively rare; usually, it's a critical value reached under multiple intense battles and pressure, leading to an accidental breakthrough."
"It's normal not to have mastered Yin-Yang Boundary Separation."
If he could master the World Law Great Divine Ability, even if it were only a Tier 1 Great Divine Ability, radiating it to all units would be a huge improvement.
After all, it is the unit-spamming stream; any small breakthrough, when magnified to the whole, is a huge boost.
"Now there are only 80 people left out of 160, and my next opponent is Fairy Youling."
Seeing this name, Zhao Xing actually relaxed.
Because he absolutely could not beat Fairy Youling.
"Fairy Youling was the fifth place in the previous round, possessing eight Great Divine Abilities, and the most perverted one is her parasitic Great Divine Ability 'Mysterious Spirit Borrowing Method', as well as Vision Parasitism."
"I think I know who her past life was: the Supreme Elder of the Three Treasures Dao Sect."
Zhao Xing casually clicked on Fairy Youling's performance in the third round, which was a test of killing and saving people on the Myriad Demon Continent.
After arriving on the Initial Continent, Fairy Youling wove a set of Myriad Flower Dharma Robes with plant materials.
She set off with some young seeds hidden in the robes.
Then, wherever she went, countless Great Demons were all parasitized.
Their flesh and blood were sucked dry, turning into nutrients.
When she set off, Fairy Youling was alone; by the end of the third round,
Fairy Youling possessed billions of units.
The more she fought, the more units she had!
"After the first ten years, just the Dao Domain Realm parasitic puppet demons numbered a thousand; it was simply a sweep," Zhao Xing sighed.
The Siling of the Self-Nature School has many streams: unit-spamming, Extreme Dao Mother Tree, Extreme Dao Variant, World Dao Field, Life Array, Poison Stream, Clone Stream... among which the most bizarre is the Parasitic Stream.
After Zhao Xing knew he had run into Fairy Youling in the next round, he no longer pinned his hopes on winning.
"I hope she can help me break through and master Yin-Yang Boundary Separation."
……
Seven days later, the second battle of the finals.
This time, before going to the arena, Zhao Xing didn't carry many units, only one group, numbering about three thousand, and they were all defensive units.
"Boom~"
The satellite crashed into the Boundary Star, dust flying.
Zhao Xing landed on the ground.
World Law unfolded, and Fairy Youling and Zhao Xing soon discovered each other.
"Zhao Xing, I heard you are a unit-spammer; why did you bring so few units?" Fairy Youling stood on a mountain peak, wearing a white Myriad Flower Dharma Robe, as if a wisp of moonlight was draped over her.
Fairy Youling naturally knew about Zhao Xing; the void mushrooms torturing opponents wasn't just a one-time thing, and winning against Wu Chuanlan made Zhao Xing's popularity soar.
Watching others' battles was often confusing, and victory or defeat was decided quickly.
Watching Zhao Xing's matches was very interesting; Zhao Xing's battles in the semi-finals and the round-robin tournament all had a characteristic: torturing the opponent.
"I have heard of the Fairy's prestige, so naturally I wouldn't overestimate myself," Zhao Xing frankly admitted he was inferior to the other. "So I only defend and do not attack, hoping to experience the Fairy's exquisite Dao techniques before I am defeated."
Fairy Youling smiled sweetly, and then Zhao Xing felt her cheeks split, as if two green leaves had grown out.
"Swish~"
Zhao Xing pointed, and a sharp blade of Qi cut away the flesh on his own cheeks.
"Plop~"
Two lumps of flesh fell to the ground and actually began to take root and sprout.
Looking at Fairy Youling again, it wasn't her cheeks that had split; it was clearly his own!
"Vision Parasitism, so strong!" Zhao Xing's spirit became highly tense.
Because he hadn't sensed anything entering his body at all, nor did he feel his Origin Projection being invaded.
Even those like Lu Nansong and Wu Chuanlan, who were skilled in World Law, left faint traces of their spells when they invaded.
But facing Fairy Youling, he sensed nothing!
But this wasn't an illusion; it had truly happened.
A seed appeared out of thin air inside his Dharma body, and it didn't even trigger the 【Treasure Mountain Divine Ability】 protective treasure light before growing wildly.
"The bizarreness of the Parasitic Stream is indeed well-deserved." Zhao Xing couldn't help but recall the scene when he and Jing Yan explored the tomb and Jing Yan was parasitized.
The tomb owner had been dead for countless years and no one was controlling it, yet Jing Yan was still silently parasitized.
"Your vigilance is not bad," Fairy Youling said, as if instructing a junior, "but unfortunately, it is not enough."
As soon as her voice fell, Zhao Xing discovered that he had grown hair at some unknown moment.
Dense "hair" appeared on his legs and hands.
In an instant, Zhao Xing lost control of his body!
"It is useless for you to circulate your blood Qi or spiritual power," Fairy Youling said, drifting closer.
"Others' Great Parasitic Divine Ability projects 【Micro Seed Explosion】 onto the enemy, while my Great Parasitic Divine Ability directly causes your body's flesh and blood to mutate into plant life."
Zhao Xing looked at Fairy Youling, who was close at hand, and did not struggle, because his entire body was already controlled by the parasitic seeds.
Fairy Youling could 【Explode the Seeds】 at any time, causing his body to completely disintegrate.
"Similar to the Marquis Transformation Method?" Zhao Xing no longer cared about winning or losing; he only wanted to attentively experience the profoundness of the other party's divine ability.
"You could say that," Fairy Youling said, her voice transmitting leisurely: "The Great Dao of the Sinuong, the Heavenly Timing, the Self, and the Earthly Advantage are all of the same root and origin."
"The Great Parasitic Divine Ability does not necessarily require a magic seed as a medium. Even if I do not have a seed on me, I can still use the Marquis Response Law to mutate plant troops within a flesh-and-blood life form."
"Everything can be parasitized; it is truly worthy of being a divine ability true method," Zhao Xing praised.
"Is there anything else you wish to ask?" Fairy Youling's red lips parted slightly.
"May I have the honor of witnessing the Profound Spirit Borrowing Seed Method?"
"Usually, that is not possible," Fairy Youling smiled lightly, "but I am very interested in your mushroom life structure."
Zhao Xing immediately understood: "After this is over, I am willing to draw the mushroom-type life templates I know onto a Dao board for you to look over."
Upon hearing this, Fairy Youling snapped her fingers.
The parasitic seeds on Zhao Xing's body immediately fell off, and he was released from control.
Subsequently, he witnessed Fairy Youling's unique skill.
"Whoosh~~"
Earth-Heart Iron Trees, Sky-Bamboo Cradles, Emerald Gold Thunder Bamboo... one by one, the plant troops all "rebelled" in an instant.
All of them fell under Fairy Youling's control.
The Profound Spirit Borrowing Seed Method!
The seventh-ranked divine ability on the 【Three Thousand Great Divine Abilities】 leaderboard!
Known as the unsolvable spell of the Sinuong!
The phantom god of civil war!
"Bang!"
The mushroom exploded, continuously impacting Zhao Xing.
"Hum~"
Zhao Xing tried his best to resist, while also comprehending the subtlety of this great divine ability.
After four quarters of an hour, he was sent away by his own mushroom seeds.
A golden light of protection flashed, and Zhao Xing was teleported back to the transmission room.
【Zhao Xing of the Beihe Star System, you have stopped at the second round of the finals. Please wait patiently for the entire competition to end before entering the apprenticeship stage.】
The Star Mirror flickered with strings of text, but Zhao Xing paid them no mind.
Under the intense pressure of Fairy Youling.
At this moment, he finally had a breakthrough and mastered his second great divine ability, the World Law "Yin-Yang Demarcation."
"Thank you."
Zhao Xing had lost, but he lost very happily. Every time one masters a new great divine ability spell in the Great Divine Ability realm, it is a development of potential and a consolidation of one's original foundation.
The Great Dao will be continuously widened; this is the reason why Du Yun remained in the Origin Realm for so long.
This kind of opportunity is very rare. Teachers in the Primordial Realm might be able to help people break through to the Dao Domain Realm, but they might not necessarily be able to help people go further on the Origin Great Dao, because the Great Divine Ability realm itself is relatively special.
"It seems that the top spot in this year's Self-Self combat division will be Fairy Youling," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "I cannot even imagine what method could break her law at this realm; even resisting is difficult."
In the top 80 to 40, Zhao Xing was eliminated; for him, the Primordial Assembly had ended.
He did not idle during the waiting time, but instead consolidated his own realm.
One month later, the final rankings of the Primordial Realm appeared.
The top ten were: Tuo Sen, Han Qiye, Fairy Youling, Wu Yanlin, Hebis, Wei Lan, Daoist Su Jiu, Daoist Miaosong, Kaslo, and Pu Tianrui.
What surprised Zhao Xing somewhat was that Fairy Youling was not in the final match.
Instead, it took place between Tuo Sen and Pu Tianrui.
Fairy Youling had lost to Tuo Sen in the penultimate match.
"The number one person in my memory didn't even make it into the top 80 this time."
"The number one is Tuo Sen, and the second has become Pu Tianrui."
"The matter of the Yuan Sea has had far-reaching effects; I don't know if it will still be the version I am familiar with in the future."
Many thoughts surged in Zhao Xing's mind, but they were soon interrupted by a voice.
It was Emperor Chenjiu descending into the residential area.
"This year's Primordial Assembly has concluded. Congratulations to all the geniuses who have entered the Primordial Realm."
"The Primordial Realm will provide abundant cultivation resources."
"Among you, there may one day be born powerhouses who will shake the star domain..."
"..."
"The 2, 00 people in the Sinuong Self-Self combat division will be taken later, in four batches, to meet different teachers."
"After selecting your teachers, you will undergo 2, 86 years of cultivation in the Primordial Realm."
"In addition to the treasure lands opened previously, the Primordial Realm will also possess more resources and secret realms. How much you can harvest depends on your own efforts!"
