Chapter 881: Essence Law

Yan Buji exhausted the last trace of his reason, beginning a shocking transformation.

He no longer tried to harmonize them, but completely scattered them, breaking them down into the most primal energy particles. These particles poured into that essence like a downpour, beginning to fuse with the faint origin breath.

The pain reached an unprecedented level, Yan Buji felt as if his soul were about to be torn apart.

But Yan Buji's consciousness grew ever clearer, for he saw a miracle taking place:

At the essence level, the rigid nature of Immortal Essence began to perfectly combine with the origin essence. Those essences on the brink of death suddenly sprang with new vitality, and fine golden patterns appeared on their surface.

These patterns continuously extended and connected, ultimately forming a brand-new energy network throughout his body!

In such a counterattack, the Mutant Force suddenly found no opening; no matter how it attacked, but the essence linked by Yan Buji stretched outward without cease, and instead began to assault the Mutant Force!

"Exactly like this!" Yan Buji widened his eyes!

If I'm not mistaken, the Mutant Force begins by invading the tiny essences of every living being, gradually devouring power and occupying everything!

But if one finds that origin essence and pours one's own power into it, one can resist the Mutant Force!

And this is still not the limit!

"Plop!"

A clear heartbeat echoed through the silent Burial Heaven Abyss, Yan Buji began his counterattack!

After the Mutant Force was repelled by the Immortal Essence within Yan Buji's essence, it instead made him feel endless emptiness and hunger!

His essence even directly began to devour the Mutant Force, and then split apart the original magical power!

This process lasted a full eight years!

Immediately followed by the second, third beats... each heartbeat thundered like a war drum, shaking the surrounding rubble to fall in rustling showers.

Immortal Essence and magical power were again forged into origin power, injected into that origin essence, and then re-linked all the reclaimed essence from the counterattack into a whole!

The Mutant Force's body began to shrink at a visible speed, and eight years of time brought Yan Buji's rebirth!

After the last trace of Mutant Force vanished, the Mutant Dao Mark once again hid within Yan Buji's left eye.

Yan Buji slowly opened his eyes.

His right eye had completely turned into a brilliant gold, with countless tiny runes flowing in its depths. A light clench of his fist caused the surrounding air to emit an overburdened explosive roar.

This is neither Immortal Essence nor magical power, but a completely new power never before seen in the cultivation world. It retains the overbearing might of Martial Dao that can shatter mountains and split ridges, yet also possesses the agility of myriad spell variations, and more importantly!

This power stems entirely from Yan Buji himself, and is utterly distinct from any cultivation system under heaven!

"I see..." Yan Buji felt the surging power within him, and showed an enlightened smile: "The true meaning of cultivation has never been to imitate the ancients, but... to become oneself."

Feeling the new power, Yan Buji touched his chest, sensing the essence that contained all his power, all his everything!

Through the mutation of the flesh, he ground everything to powder!

Then, by injecting the final bit of power to activate the origin essence and counterattack the Mutant Force, frankly Yan Buji never thought this path could succeed.

But precisely, the Mutant Force was the key to his success!

"Only by discarding everything can one be reborn?"

Yan Buji felt the power within him, which differed from magical power and Immortal Essence, leaving him unable to articulate it; moreover, the vanished Dao Marks did not return, yet he could clearly sense the Dao Marks existing in the surrounding heaven and earth.

He tried to mobilize the power within the origin essence, and several gusts of wild wind surged from all directions, gathering into his hands.

"This...."

Far away, the Heavenly Age Daoist was shocked to the extreme, flying over and involuntarily trembling as he asked: "What kind of power is this?!"

"Essence Law?" The Scruffy Daoist suddenly sensed something, oddly gazing southward.

"Master, what's wrong?" The little boy holding the Scruffy Daoist's hand blinked his big eyes, and with the other hand clutching a candied haw skewer, asked.

"Found another one." The Scruffy Daoist chuckled.

"Like mine?"

"No." The Scruffy Daoist shook his head: "Just a..... monkey wearing a hat, a petty fellow."

"A little monkey?"

"Hahaha."

Nan Ting

Fa Tian Sect, inside the Nine Turns Immortal Array!

The old woman stared blankly, looking toward the secret realm not far away.

"What's going on?!"

"How could there be the master's aura?"

The old woman instinctively thought the Scruffy Daoist had come, frightened she didn't dare glance twice, but the next second she realized something was wrong.

"Eh, that guy isn't.... the progenitor of the Dragonfolk, Heavenly Age Daoist? He's still alive.... and that other one is...."

The old woman glanced twice, feeling quite strange.

"Is that kid a new disciple of the master? How could his aura be exactly the same as the master's?"

"Just in the blink of an eye."

An old Daoist suddenly appeared before the old woman, eyes wide, pointing at the direction she had just looked.

"Old Oxnose, how did you come here?" The old woman oddly looked at her.

"That kid? Junior brother?"

"I don't know." The old woman shook her head.

"Whoosh......"

The old Daoist sighed in relief: "Looks like the master is preparing to give that one a platform to fight?"

The old woman waved her hand, indicating she didn't know.

The old Daoist nodded: "Since we don't have to personally take the stage, it might be a good thing."

Several pairs of eyes simultaneously turned toward the Nan Ting Mountain Region; the old woman and old Daoist lifted their heads, simultaneously waving their hands to indicate they also didn't know what was happening.

With doubt, those few pairs of eyes glanced a few times, then stopped paying attention.

But in fact, the winds and clouds between heaven and earth have already changed again!

Returned to the Burial Heaven Abyss.

Although Yan Buji had no Dao Mark inside him, he felt that the power he seemed able to control had actually increased, and he could even directly mobilize Dao Marks he had never cultivated.

But this would greatly consume his inner essential power; the origin residing in his essence resonated with the power he could control in heaven and earth, and after a moment.....

Martial Dao, Way of the Universe, Cosmic Dao, Five Elements Dao, and Fortune Dao—the five principles he had cultivated most—gradually converged, giving Yan Buji a feeling of not knowing how to use them.

"Perhaps the Divine Ability Mysterious Skill can still be used?"

Yan Buji tried to activate the Divine Ability and Dao Martial Technique with the power of his essence, and found he could still do so!

Even without the Pattern Mysterious Skill, he could still use Dao Martial Technique and spells together without any hindrance!

Is this the new power I have mastered?

It is something I have created.....

At this moment, Yan Buji felt great satisfaction; if he knew this path had already been walked by some predecessor, he probably wouldn't be so happy.

But no matter what, Yan Buji finally could walk a path without being limited by magic power and Immortal Essence.

Body and spirit united, magic power and Immortal Essence blended into one and poured into the essence.....

"It should be called Essence Law, which is most fitting." Yan Buji laughed happily.
