Why did I come here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the spiritual intuition of a Foundation Establishment True Person sounded a frantic warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Cang instinctively looked around — could it be that his nighttime robbery had been discovered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up to this moment, Wu Cang still hadn’t realized Lü Yang’s threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought someone had merely detected his movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Part of this misunderstanding came from Lü Yang using 【Mountain of Embrace and Guard】 to conceal the flow of karma, making detection difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was also because Wu Cang himself had been influenced by someone else’s fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang silently took in everything, speaking to himself in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ability to survive until now was largely due to his knack for learning from experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, he had already made up his mind to avoid Buddhist cultivators as much as possible from now on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple — Buddhist cultivators were too shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them claimed to be the “Self” of a World-Honored One, and would invoke their Dao Lord at the slightest disagreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a max-level boss camping the newbie village and massacring fresh spawns!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was utterly insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the high status of the 【Book of a Hundred Lifetimes】, which even the Dao Lords could only vaguely sense but not truly interfere with, he would have died ten thousand times by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, based on the experiences from past lives, Lü Yang quickly concluded a way to avoid the World-Honored One’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the previous life wasn’t his first time self-destructing and activating the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes in front of a Buddhist cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the life before last, when he sabotaged Arhat Fulong by blowing up the ley lines, he had also used the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why didn’t the World-Honored One appear back then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Because of the Heavenly Punishment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang thought it over and believed that was the only possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the Heavenly Punishment, all the merit and destiny on Arhat Fulong had been instantly erased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the World-Honored One hadn’t descended or noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This revealed that the strange possession technique was likely realized through merit and destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the flaw in the World-Honored One’s control over Buddhist cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where there’s a flaw, there’s a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I can fully uncover the secret behind this and develop a method to block the World-Honored One’s influence on my consciousness, then maybe, one day, I could even take a stroll in the Pure Land…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, that was still just a hopeful fantasy — far from achievable at present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With thoughts retracted, Lü Yang looked at Wu Cang again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Wu Cang already showed an expression of impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he vaguely sensed something was wrong, his first instinct wasn’t to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was to end things quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you refuse to be reasonable, fellow Daoist, don’t blame me for being rude!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, a towering and intertwining tree suddenly burst forth into the sky — Wu Cang’s Dao Foundation had manifested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the tree’s canopy, a vermilion fruit rapidly grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Wu Cang’s face showed a confident smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This “Wood-born Fire” was the most powerful mystery among his innate divine powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with his talent 【Flee Not Southward】, it could burn through any Dharma body with unmatched effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next second, his eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with his “Wood-born Fire,” Lü Yang remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him rose a dark aura, which swept directly toward Wu Cang’s Dao Foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh swoosh —!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the blazing fire Wu Cang had just lit was extinguished like a candle in a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All divine techniques were instantly cut off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mountain of Embrace and Guard】!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having fought Wu Cang before, Lü Yang gave no room for him to unleash his techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly hurled his newly refined innate divine power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was drastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Foundation Establishment realm, Wu Cang’s 【Coiling Dragon Divine Tree Dao Foundation】 shook violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above his head appeared the shadow of a towering mountain — illusory and intangible, yet exuding a crushing force that was real and suppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It forcibly extinguished his Wood-born Fire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Cang cried out in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a crushing weight descend, like Mount Tai pressing down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To break through it, he would either need profound divine arts or immense Dharma power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had neither.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash of desperation, Wu Cang finally snapped awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to turn and flee, a divine radiance enveloped the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Fix Intimacy and Distance】!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This marvelous technique could teleport himself or his enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wu Cang’s Wood-born Fire hadn’t been suppressed, he could have used its divine flames to break the technique’s hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with the flames crushed, most of his abilities were crippled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t resist Lü Yang’s teleportation at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Lü Yang held a gourd in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Three-Nine Soul-Dissolving Gourd】!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang uncorked the gourd and channeled his mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a gentle shake, a cloud of hazy mist spilled forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul-dissolving, spirit-scattering, mind-seizing smoke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mist was powerful but notoriously hard to land on a target — usually impractical in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Lü Yang’s hands, it worked wonders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, divine light flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Cang, suspended in midair, couldn’t dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only watch as he vanished from his spot and reappeared inside the hazy mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…! If you have guts, fight me head-on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Cang’s voice rang out from the smoke, full of hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at this stage, Lü Yang refused to fight him directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started with overpowering control — not giving any chance for a comeback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Wu Cang’s voice faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soul-dissolving mist began to take effect, making his consciousness increasingly groggy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he knew — if he truly passed out, he might never wake again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This clarity made him act decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red glint flashed in his eyes, and three bright auras appeared in his hand — three mid-grade spiritual treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Explode!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though a rogue cultivator, Wu Cang lacked neither cunning nor ruthlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To survive in the Saint Sect, one needed at least that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was ruthless enough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a bang, all three spiritual treasures exploded in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resulting shockwave shattered the mist and carved him a path to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom boom boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riding the burst of spiritual energy, Wu Cang’s figure shot like lightning, trailing a light as he fled toward Mending Heaven Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freedom awaited beyond the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion also tore through the formation concealment on the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With spiritual energy in turmoil, many True Persons in the Saint Sect turned their eyes this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were Wu Cang’s life insurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how vicious Lü Yang was, he surely wouldn’t dare kill someone in front of so many onlookers… right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did he know, Lü Yang had watched his every move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Ultimate Heavens Instrument” between his brows had long predicted Wu Cang’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holding One, Guarding the Center, Differentiates Self from Other.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a Daoist chant rang beside Wu Cang’s ear, so eerie it made his scalp tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surging spiritual tide abruptly froze!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, where was his promised freedom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where had the clear sky and wide world gone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a second ago, he had seen daylight outside the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, what loomed before him was a pitch-black mountain wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his escape light was already in motion — he couldn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a deafening crash, Wu Cang smashed headlong into the materialized 【Mountain of Embrace and Guard】 in full view of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was instantly pulverized!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the shattering Dharma body, a soul floated out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You beast…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Cang’s soul trembled with rage, just about to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang grabbed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Wu Cang, you only lost a round of spell dueling — why take it so hard?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Allow this junior to preserve your soul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his voice faded, Lü Yang stuffed the soul harshly into the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everything was done, Lü Yang looked around at the shocked, horrified crowd staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He offered a friendly smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, please don’t misunderstand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As you all saw, Senior Wu Cang couldn’t get over it and chose to end his life — crashing into my divine technique of his own will.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1429,"2026-06-06T16:06:03.280Z",1,"novelbin.me","2869f4326e4378ae440bf281af4b803687ae3407763d0c5a204aba167c5e4e4a","struggling-to-survive-with-regression-power-in-t-chapter-181","struggling-to-survive-with-regression-power-in-t-chapter-179",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstruggling-to-survive-with-regression-power-in-t-cover.jpg"]
