Kill him! An early-stage defeating a mid-stage, using him to sacrifice the sword can at least restore fifty percent of my power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't rush, your time will come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang smiled leisurely, slinging the 【Abyssal Sword】 behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the vast sea of mana within him began to pour into it continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this superior spiritual sword was indeed a gold-devouring beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much mana Lü Yang injected, the 【Abyssal Sword】 absorbed it all, with the sword spirit girl still shouting \"Not enough!\", like a bottomless abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Lü Yang wasn't anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the more mana the 【Abyssal Sword】 absorbed and the longer it accumulated, the greater its power would be, making it a trump card that could determine victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, that previous strike confirmed one thing for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Determine Intimacy】 could still be used!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to use it meant he wasn't actually trapped by the opponent's formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just a thought, he could escape, ensuring his safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a retreat path secured, Lü Yang naturally became more composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He no longer needed to think about escaping but could instead use all his means to have a good fight with Wu Cang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a perfect opportunity to test how much gap remained between him and the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while he wasn't in a hurry, someone else was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Cang's face turned ashen, clearly not expecting that, despite his higher cultivation level, he was nearly injured by Lü Yang—a tremendous humiliation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Lü Yang noticed that the formation surrounding him began to operate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless branches descended instantly, blooming into thousands of flowers, merging with Wu Cang's own aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, they transformed into a towering, sky-reaching, universe-shading, winding giant tree!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You court death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a branch of the giant tree bloomed and bore fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, a fiery red, miniature fruit appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the fruit fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment it fell, it transformed into a wave of scorching red light, flying out with a roar, accompanied by the continuous sound of thunder and lightning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Life-bound divine ability?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lü Yang raised his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While accumulating and maintaining the charge of the 【Abyssal Sword】, he once again cast 【Determine Intimacy】, intending to send the red light away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time the situation was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously always effective light of 【Determine Intimacy】, upon touching the fiery red fruit, caused the fruit to explode with a circle of red light, blazing like flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud bang, it shattered his divine ability and, in the blink of an eye, landed on him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom boom boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, intense explosions and flames engulfed Lü Yang, with their power compressed by Wu Cang within a range of several hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Foundation Establishment cultivator's mana was like a dragon, capable of expanding or contracting freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When expanded, it could cover thousands of miles, crushing mountains and overturning peaks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When contracted, it could maneuver within an inch, turning immense power into tiny sparks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter could be even more powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, looking at Lü Yang, who was hit by the fiery red fruit, Wu Cang's face didn't show joy; instead, he frowned, looking towards the area filled with flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the flames dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang's figure stood steadily amidst the flowing fire, forming a divine light with his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Circles of light rippled from behind his head, resembling a canopy, firmly shielding him and isolating him from the flowing fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were distinctly separated, never able to affect each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Differentiate the Same and the Different】!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This divine ability not only avoided karma but was also a superior protective technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once activated, all laws couldn't touch the body, and the qi became pure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Two profound mysteries.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Cang frowned deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had been mentally prepared, Lü Yang's display of profundity still startled him, making him no longer dare to underestimate Lü Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's important to know that life-bound divine abilities also varied in quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, a life-bound divine ability would have only one profound mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with multiple profound mysteries were either favored by fate or had superior cultivation methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Wu Cang, his apparent experience was quite similar to Lü Yang's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both had obtained the inheritance of a now-destroyed major sect, allowing them to rise rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both had joined the Primordial Saint Sect by offering their sect's inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, although Wu Cang came from a loose cultivator background, his cultivation and combat power were not weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, even though Wu Cang found it troublesome at the moment, he still remained confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I have established the 【Coiling Dragon Divine Wood Foundation】, cultivated the life-bound divine ability 【Coiling Dragon Treasure Fir Tree】, and broke through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, thereby refining three profound mysteries.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘This Yuan Tu, could he possibly be stronger than me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Wu Cang looked at Lü Yang again and smiled calmly, \"Fellow Daoist Yuan Tu, this wood-born fire of mine is not so easy to deal with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, although Lü Yang had protected himself with 【Differentiate the Same and the Different】, the surrounding flowing fire hadn't dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it clung to him like a bone-attached maggot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he stopped using the divine ability for protection, the flowing fire would immediately pounce, burning his dharma body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he was trapped in a battle of attrition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lü Yang continued to fight him while enduring the flowing fire, the mana consumption would be enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a few rounds, he would exhaust his mana and be at Wu Cang's mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why Wu Cang appeared so composed and smug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next second, his expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang, unhurriedly, took out a brocade bag from his sleeve and opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a sea of insects, covering the sky and sun, poured out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi-devouring insects!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of 140 million Qi-devouring insects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To store them, Lü Yang had specially refined a storage bag capable of sustaining living creatures, named the 【Centipede Wasp Bag】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, as the 【Centipede Wasp Bag】 opened, the Qi-devouring insects surged out like a tide, directly covering the flowing fire around Lü Yang and feasting upon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this flowing fire was transformed from Wu Cang's life-bound divine ability, it was ultimately formed from mana, one of the myriad qis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Qi-devouring insects consumed all qis!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the flowing fire was completely devoured by the Qi-devouring insects!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although nearly ten million sub-insects turned to ashes as a result, the Qi-devouring insect queen inside the Centipede Wasp Bag was still working overtime to breed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This loss was negligible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘No wonder even the ancestors praised this extraterrestrial species!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lü Yang smiled with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was worth the special trip to the secret realm of refining methods to cultivate this insect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a scale of over a hundred million, it truly possessed the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!\u003C\u002Fp>",1543,"2026-06-06T16:06:03.280Z",1,"novelbin.me","94529305077875c56d89e90af31f9e68fad9cc6ad922c4e77dc18b2782fe00dd","struggling-to-survive-with-regression-power-in-t-chapter-161","struggling-to-survive-with-regression-power-in-t-chapter-159",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstruggling-to-survive-with-regression-power-in-t-cover.jpg"]
