Chapter 100: I Will Kill You in the Next Life!
Chapter 100: I Will Kill You in the Next Life!
"Like hell I'll surrender!"
The words hadn't even faded when Lv Yang appeared at the heart of 800-mile Skull Mountain, his face twisting into a vicious grin as he reached down toward the land vein.
Boom!
The heavens trembled. A torrent of pitch-black yin energy erupted from the earth, coalescing into a boundless murky river hanging in midair.
Celestial Corpse Miasma!
This malevolent force, once buried deep within Skull Mountain's land vein, was now forcibly extracted by Lv Yang, triggering violent earthquakes across the mountain.
The murky river cascaded downward, engulfing Lv Yang. The flickering embers of his Blazing Inferno Dragon instantly extinguished. Subduing Dragon Arhat's eyebrows shot up, surprise flashing in his eyes: "Celestial Corpse Miasma? This place actually harbors such a thing?"
The Blazing Inferno Dragon was born from the fusion of yang wood and yin earth.
Its flames burned fiercely, yet their foundation lay in wood energy, nourished by earth. Thus, it resisted fire-suppressing forces—only wood and earth elements could counter it.
"The Celestial Corpse Miasma resides in a Terrestrial Sha position, belonging to Zhi Xu, a yin earth attribute!"
"Yin earth is soft, nurturing wood without fear of overgrowth. It absorbs water without fear of erosion."
This Terrestrial Sha, impervious to water and wood!
Though unable to directly suppress the Blazing Inferno Dragon, it could shield Lv Yang from its searing flames, gradually dissipating the fiery energy.
Strictly speaking, these two formidable energies complemented each other, forming a path toward an immortal fruit. Yet instead of greed, Subduing Dragon Arhat instinctively recoiled, as if witnessing something terrifying.
"Yu Fen (Celestial Pole Position), Zhi Xu."
This path formed by the union of heavenly and earthly forces corresponded to only one immortal fruit in all the world. Yet Subduing Dragon Arhat dared not pursue it.
Its name: Lampfire of Restoration!
"If I claim this, I'll become that fiend Chongguang's sworn enemy. What a self-inflicted disaster! The Pure Land's Bodhisattvas won't necessarily protect me."
With this thought, Subduing Dragon Arhat shook his head, spitting out the Blazing Inferno Dragon again. The raging flames collided with the murky river. Soon, the river dried—its energy unanchored, while the dragon's flames were fueled by a Foundation Building expert's power.
"Must you still fight like a cornered beast?"
The appearance of the Celestial Corpse Miasma soured Subduing Dragon Arhat's tone. His patience vanished; he no longer wished to prolong this battle with Lv Yang.
Boom!
Lv Yang's response was earth-shattering—literally. The entire Yanmo Hall hurtled toward him like a hammer smashing onto Subduing Dragon Arhat's head.
"Again with these petty tricks."
Shaking his head, Subduing Dragon Arhat raised his protective treasure light, manifesting a lotus canopy radiating divine light.
But the next moment, his expression changed.
"Explode!"
Before he could react, Lv Yang activated his spell seal. The towering Yanmo Hall shattered, igniting the Celestial Corpse Miasma like a spark to gunpowder.
Boom!
The detonation sent storm clouds swirling over Skull Mountain, lightning crackling across the sky.
"Damn it!"
Subduing Dragon Arhat's casual demeanor vanished. The explosion itself couldn't harm him, but the Celestial Corpse Miasma's detonation had utterly destroyed Skull Mountain's land vein!
"Shattering the land vein... inviting heavenly retribution!?"
Furiously calculating, Subduing Dragon Arhat's face darkened: "How does he have such a technique? Who is this man!?"
He'd merely followed the spiritual resonance from the Nine Metamorphosis Dragon Art.
Lv Yang's karmic ties? He hadn't investigated them, nor cared. A Foundation Building expert crushing a Refining Qi cultivator should be effortless.
Yet he'd never anticipated this!
In truth, this was Yanluo Patriarch's final trump card.
Long ago, the Golden Core Sword Qi failed to eradicate the Wugui Sect because Yanluo Patriarch had kidnapped Skull Mountain's land vein through the Wugui Secret Realm.
If the land vein was detonated, heavenly punishment would strike, stripping karmic merit. Such calamitous karma even a Golden Core Sovereign dared not court, hence sparing the Wugui Sect with a "boiling frog" strategy, letting time erode their defenses.
Now, Lv Yang had turned this very weapon against Subduing Dragon Arhat!
The next instant, Subduing Dragon Arhat staggered back, his Subduing Dragon Temple manifestation dimming, then fracturing into countless cracks before exploding!
His eyes bled tears of fury: "My karmic merit... my fortune... all gone!?"
Truthfully, physical injury would've been better!
Injuries heal. Backed by the Shi Xiu Pure Land, he had countless ways to recover—even rebirth if needed.
Reincarnation could still climb the immortal path.
But without karmic merit? At death, he might not even remain human, doomed to ten lifetimes as livestock to atone!
Foundation Building experts reincarnate at most five times!
Ten lifetimes as beasts meant certain death for a cultivator like him. In his prime, how could he accept this?
"Why... why do this!?"
Furious yet bewildered, Subduing Dragon Arhat roared: "I was merely the catalyst! You're the true culprit!"
Heavenly justice is impartial. If he faced ten beastly lifetimes, Lv Yang would owe a thousandfold worse! Even if he repaid it, his next life would be shackled by hardship—forget cultivating, mere wealth would be unattainable.
A thousandfold loss for a thousandfold gain.
The thought nearly made Subduing Dragon Arhat spit blood.
"If mutual destruction was possible, why not say so earlier!? We could've negotiated! If I'd known you had this card, I'd never have pressed so hard!"
"Monster! Absolute monster!"
"Hmph." Lv Yang scoffed at the broken Arhat. Karma? After reincarnation, it all reset to zero.
"This was just collecting interest."
Meeting Subduing Dragon Arhat's gaze, Lv Yang's resolve burned brighter. Though this Foundation Building failed, he'd uncovered his technique's flaw. Next life, he'd prepare carefully—turning the tables with a vengeance!
Cultivation is harder than scaling heaven. He might not be the brightest star...
But with the Ten Thousand Lives Scroll, he'd surely be the last one standing!
"In the next life... I will kill you!"
With that, Lv Yang self-detonated. Consciousness fading into darkness, one clear voice echoed:
Ten Thousand Lives Scroll!
