Chapter 1136

After seizing Ying Tian Xian's body, the hidden mastermind's every move imitated Ying Tian Xian, even his thoughts—sometimes he even forgot his true identity and believed he was the real Ying Tian Xian, enjoying his time with everyone.

But when he recalled Gu Junye's words, he realized his mindset had become a serious problem.

For someone of his level, his mindset had long been polished to perfection and should not have issues; he immediately disciplined himself, changed his mindset, and shook off his subconscious.

"If using the Calamity Dao Fruit and Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit isn't enough……" the hidden mastermind's eyes flashed with ruthlessness—his methods went far beyond this.

Thunder rumbled within his body, qi and blood surged skyward, his vitality astonishingly vigorous, and everyone's vitality faintly resonated with his.

Vitality spread across the star sea—every planet enveloped by it began the evolution of life, giving birth to living beings!

"Prairie Fire Starry Sky."

At the same time, the hidden mastermind unleashed endless black flames—a fire long extinct in history's river: Living Spirit True Flame.

Living Spirit True Flame uses vitality as fuel, burning through the starry sky.

In an instant, the battlefield was covered in Living Spirit True Flame; the planets that had just given birth to living beings were engulfed in fire and reduced to nothing.

He strengthened the Living Spirit True Flame by burning his own vitality, took control of the battlefield, and drained everyone's vitality!

The vitality of the Qilin Immortal and others was ignited, the burning pain unbearable—immortals' lifespans are said to be infinite, but Living Spirit True Flame counters exactly that infinite lifespan: the more vitality, the fiercer the burn; even if not burned to ash, they would be tortured to death alive!

"Yin-Yang Chessboard, All Things Annihilated!"

In the universe appeared a phantom of Immortal Jiu Chong, eyes like two suns, holding stars; before him appeared a chessboard, black and white, capable of assigning yin-yang attributes to all things, then annihilating them with opposite attributes.

But when Immortal Jiu Chong tried to assign yin-yang attributes to Living Spirit True Flame, he found it did not belong to yin or yang and could not be forcibly assigned such attributes.

"How is this possible!" Immortal Jiu Chong couldn't believe this scene—he had never made a mistake with this move, let alone with fire, which is obviously "yang" in nature!

What kind of method is this!

The immortals burned by Living Spirit True Flame were in agony, unable to focus on battle.

Among everyone present, only Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi, the Immortal of Eternity, and Lu Yang were not scorched by Living Spirit True Flame.

At the moment Living Spirit True Flame appeared, Lu Yang instinctively wrapped his body in Three Flavors True Fire; upon seeing it, Living Spirit True Flame actually actively avoided him.

Seeing this, the hidden mastermind frowned slightly, then immediately understood the reason.

"The proper fire's natal flame—Three Flavors True Fire? Troublesome."

Huo Zheng was his closest friend in ancient times; Three Flavors True Fire is the natal flame Huo Zheng created, his favorite; and the Living Spirit True Flame he wields was also created by Huo Zheng—thus, they cannot harm each other.

Lu Yang continuously cast Three Flavors True Fire, wrapping everyone in it to shield against Living Spirit True Flame's harm.

"Well done, Daoist Lu! Swift!" the Immortal of Ages praised, granting everyone the Swift state, multiplying their speed several times over!

The immortals relied on Swift to surround the hidden mastermind, but in his view, they could barely keep up with his speed.

"Ridiculous!"

The hidden mastermind gripped an ice whip, swept across thousands of troops, flung everyone flying, and spat blood continuously.

Without "Traceback" and "Eternity," this single move would have severed them at the waist!

Puchi—suddenly a wound appeared on the hidden mastermind's waist, as if struck by the ice whip.

"Coming here to eat a meal costs you dearly." Meng Junzi grimaced in pain, transferring his injuries to the hidden mastermind—though the cost was that after some time, the injuries would return doubled to him; he didn't care anymore, first adding more wounds to the hidden mastermind.

Jiang Ping'an also nodded; they two pretended to attend an ordinary victory feast, never expecting that halfway through the meal, an immortal battle would erupt, facing an ancient monster from an unknown era, ridiculously strong.

"Immortal Maiden Fist." The Immortal of Eternity appeared to the hidden mastermind's left; her Immortal Maiden Fist was extremely fierce, rolling with killing intent—each strike could extinguish the Milky Way, collapse space; even in the long ancient ages, she had never fully unleashed this fist technique.

Even when fighting Yao Sheng, the Immortal of Eternity had never struck so hard; the Immortal Maiden Fist contains hidden power, capable of piercing blood, bone, and flesh, with power exploding inside the body.

Each punch landing on the hidden mastermind was no less than a small world self-detonating.

This force is extremely hard to dispel; the Immortal Maiden Fist originates from the Hundred Herbs Fist—she comprehended the Hundred Herbs, integrated and perfected it into this fist; the Hundred Herbs Fist consists of hundreds or thousands of herbs, each herb being a fist technique.

Thus, the Immortal Maiden Fist simultaneously contains hundreds of powers, making it extremely hard to resolve.

But this difficulty does not stump the hidden mastermind—he has a way to neutralize the force.

Just as the hidden mastermind prepared to neutralize this force, Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi appeared to his left, unexpectedly also displaying the Immortal Maiden Fist!

Seeing this, the Immortal of Eternity was somewhat surprised—she had only taught Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi the Immortal Maiden Fist once, yet he had already learned it.

The two needed no words or glances; their hearts were in sync, knowing each other's next move, coordinating flawlessly.

Two supreme beings displaying the same technique, coordinating as if one person, giving him no breathing space—even the hidden mastermind found it somewhat hard to parry.

"The two strongest of past and present attacking at once—you really think highly of me." The hidden mastermind chuckled; though fallen into a disadvantage, he remained calm and unhurried.

He let out a soft cry; unknown what profound skill he circulated, he gained a Diamond-like Body—his body became indestructible, even internally transformed, becoming countless times harder than a Divine Metal Body—no force could harm his body!

"Immortal Maiden Fist!" The Immortal of Eternity and Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi joined forces again, but this time it was not so simple.

Only see: when the two women's fists just touched the hidden mastermind, the power contained in their fists not only failed to harm him, but all returned to themselves!

Puchi—

This was equivalent to each of them punching themselves; fortunately, they could both neutralize the force in the fist technique, so they were not seriously injured.

The entire starry sky turned into a Yin-Yang Taiji diagram; Immortal Jiu Chong and the hidden mastermind stood at the Taiji's eye; endless immortal fire and profound ice surged forth, rushing toward the hidden mastermind—but those attacks, upon touching him, all returned along the same path, bombarding Immortal Jiu Chong instead.

"Damn it—any attack hitting him bounces back!" the Immortal of Ages cursed, lowering his Heaven-Opening Axe; he had intended to strike the hidden mastermind from behind, but now saw it was impossible.

The Boundless Sword Domain unfolded, far stronger than when crossing the Immortal Ascension Tribulation; Lu Yang held the Azure Edge Sword, myriad sword phantoms condensed, following him like a shadow; as the first Sword Immortal in history, each sword shadow could sever the Milky Way, his immortal might unfathomable!

The sword shadows simultaneously slashed at the hidden mastermind, yet were still reflected back; myriad sword shadows shattered, reflecting Lu Yang's resolute and unyielding expression.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!"

Nine immortal swords merged into one, the star sea boiled, more terrifying than Immortal Jiu Chong's immortal fire and profound ice—hard to imagine this is what a newly ascended immortal could display!

Yet facing the hidden mastermind's Immaculate Golden Body, this sword was still insufficient; all power reflected back, Lu Yang solidly struck by his own sword, severely injured and vomiting blood.

The hidden mastermind merely smiled indifferently—my lord facing a three-year-old child holding a wooden sword, what reaction could there be?

Unexpectedly, a sword aura appeared behind Lu Yang, cleaving him in two; the force did not diminish, striking the hidden mastermind.

This time, there was no power reflection!

"Success!" One strike succeeded; Lu Yang swiftly fled.

Lu Yang, cut in half, turned into two pieces of wood; the hidden mastermind stared at the two wood pieces, and a spell surfaced in his heart.

Dao seeds the void, hard to discern true from false, the clone technique created by Jianmu.

In this era, it is called the Tree Planting Manual.
