Chapter 1293: Poison Bait

"So... this realm's primal source acknowledges his 'Infinity Return to Void', not my extreme 'self'!" Yan Buji instantly understood, a fierce anger and resentment rose within him. He had used Han Wuxian's hand to pilfer power from another world, yet he did not anticipate being restrained by the native forces.

"No matter... no matter!" He swiftly quelled his emotions, his will turning colder and more focused, "Suppression is another form of 'attention'. As long as I cannot be completely erased, this suppression itself will become a whetstone for tempering my 'self'."

He ceased rushing to expand, instead retracting all his mind into that minute "base point", devoting himself to stabilizing its existence, and in a more covert way, continued to siphon nourishment from Han Wuxian's application of "Infinity" and his dissection of other laws.

"Han Wuxian, the harder you try to force me out, the more tactics you employ... the deeper I hide, the more I learn!"

"When I, under these layered suppressions, still solidify the 'base point'... then my 'sole self' will become more resilient, more unshakable!"

Han Wuxian's Dao Heart, like unfathomable ice that never melts over billions of years, calmly mirrored every minute shift of the Infinite Singularity within him. Yan Buji's thread of "undying self-attachment" contracting and lying dormant under double suppression did not let him relax his vigilance; rather it confirmed this beast's tenacity and danger.

"Suppression and infiltration alone cannot eradicate it. This entity has become entangled in a symbiotic-like manner with my 'Infinity' Dao resonance; forcibly stripping it may harm the foundation," Han Wuxian thought, rapidly iterating countless possibilities. Conventional means have proven barely effective, requiring subtler, even riskier, tactics.

He ceased further intensifying the suppression of the world's primal Silence Extinction force, instead allowing it to contract slightly, restoring the previously relatively "gentle" "Infinity" wash. At the same time, he shifted more of his focus toward deeper exploration and construction of his own "Infinite Law".

This time, he was no longer content merely with containment and comprehension. He began to try, using "Infinity" as a foundation, to actively "structure" and "define".

His mind plunged into the deepest part of the Infinite Singularity, the origin of all laws and the materialized core of the "Infinity" concept. There, with his own will and the overwhelming Gui Xu Zu Qi Core, he sketched and wove an ultra‑complex "law net". This net was not meant for attack or defense, but to forge a more precise, more self‑consistent "Infinite Loop System".

He aims to elevate his own "Infinity" Dao Foundation from a relatively passive, accommodating "ocean" into a "lifeform" with greater "initiative" and "exclusivity"!

Throughout this process, his myriad insights into "Infinity" and his deep comprehension of various laws were poured in without reservation. The flow of these Dao resonances and the structuring of the laws still ran like a surging river, continuously reaching Yan Buji through that hidden parasitic conduit, where they were incessantly perceived and siphoned.

In the dim trench, Yan Buji's will was initially wary. He detected that Han Wuxian had altered his strategy, the suppressive force waned, yet the flow of the "Infinity" Dao resonance grew deeper and more intricate. He cautiously absorbed these fresh insights, while fully fortifying the "self-attachment base point" that barely persisted under suppression.

"He's constructing a more perfect 'Infinity'... truly arrogant, yet truly... tantalizing!" Yan Buji greedily Devoured these high‑level law informations, feeling his grasp of "Infinity" accelerating, even beginning to faintly sense some of Han Wuxian's new system concepts. "When I fully understand the mysteries of your new system, perhaps I can find a way to twist it, turning it into an opportunity to forge my 'sole self' throne!"

However, as time progressed, Yan Buji gradually sensed a hint of something wrong.

The new "Infinite Loop System" that Han Wuxian fashioned was far more intricate than imagined, with certain law logics interlocking and corroborating each other, creating an extremely stable, near‑perfect internal equilibrium. He frantically siphoned and absorbed this information, attempting to understand and imitate it, only to find his "self-attachment" core beginning to experience an indescribable "load sensation".

It's like a limited‑capacity computer forced to run an overly massive, complex program, beginning to lag, overheat, and even exhibit signs of logical chaos!

Even more disconcerting was that this system appeared to have a kind of "self‑check" and "error‑correction" mechanism. When he attempted to apply his own "self-attachment" logic to understand or distort certain segments, it instantly provoked subtle repulsion and correction within the system's Dao resonance. This repulsion was not an attack, yet it rendered his comprehension exceptionally arduous, even beginning to undermine the stability of his own "self-attachment base point"!

"Something's off! This isn't a simple architecture... he's embedded 'logic traps' in the system!" Yan Buji jolted awake. Han Wuxian had deliberately showcased this intricate structure, leveraging his greed for profound Dao resonance, causing him to voluntarily draw massive, complex "Infinity" law information with hidden repulsive attributes into his core!

This information is harmless in itself, even containing the true meaning of the Dao. Yet when such a massive quantity and intricate structure inundates a core whose nature is "sole" and "exclusive" "self-attachment", it produces effects akin to "information overload" and "logical conflict"!

He tried to halt, but it was already too late. The complex Dao resonances he had drawn in, like a festering wound, began to clash violently with the "self-attachment" laws of his core. His previously solid "base point" started to quiver faintly, and the barrier he had constructed, infused with "blazing Silence Extinction" power, grew erratic and unstable.

"Han! No! Infinity!" Yan Buji's will let out a furious roar. He realized he had fallen into the opponent's meticulously crafted overt trap! Han Wuxian used the evolution of his own Dao Foundation as bait, luring him to voluntarily swallow a "poison bait" capable of destabilizing his very foundation!

At Wanji Mountain Peak, Han Wuxian sensed the intense turbulence and chaotic aura emanating from within the "self-attachment base point", his eyes still calm.

"Greed is your greatest motivation, and also your greatest flaw."

"You aim to steal my 'Infinity' to augment yourself, yet you do not realize that the very complexity of true 'Infinity' is the most lethal poison to your 'sole' self."

He did not seize the moment for a fierce assault; instead he continued to uphold the construction of the complex "Infinite Loop System", even deliberately slowing its pace, unveiling more subtle law details that carried latent repulsive properties.

He is waiting.

Waiting for the moment Yan Buji's "self-attachment" core is utterly dragged down and its logic collapses under these complex informations.

Or to force him, before collapse, to manifest voluntarily and seek a breakthrough!
