Chapter 71: Three Victories for the Tianhuang, the Advantage is Mine!

The Existence Formula!

This was the third secret technique that Shaohua had painstakingly created.

In her earlier years, she had used this incomplete method to briefly awaken the ruthless emperor. After more than twenty thousand years of cultivation, she had finally grasped its essence.

Why just the essence?

Because the difficulty of cultivating this technique was immense, almost defying the natural order. Shaohua felt that she had only barely laid the foundation.

If she had truly followed her heart's desires, the technique would have transcended the human realm, surpassing even so-called immortal techniques.

In fact, the three great secret techniques she had created were all conceived with extremely lofty intentions. What she called "perfection" was merely her best effort within her current capabilities.

Leaving aside the final step of entering the temporal domain, at least the first half of the Eternity Formula was accessible to some cultivators.

However, the Transience Formula started with the temporal domain, and the Existence Formula was even more advanced, built upon the foundation of the Transience Formula.

Indeed, she hadn't considered the survival of others at all; it was never her intention to pass these techniques on to anyone else.

A lingering bell sound resonated through the ancient universe.

Shaohua, suppressed by the Immortal Bell, found herself in a dire situation. However, she was not panicked; she had anticipated this.

At this moment, she no longer concealed anything. Her blood surged like a breaking river, dispelling the earlier signs of decline and brimming with vitality.

Eternity Formula! Transience Formula! Existence Formula!

The three great secret techniques merged, and mysterious runes began to appear one after another, connecting the past, present, and future. It was as if they had pierced through the immortal realm, invoking an indescribable great power!

A strange force surged, emitting a grand chanting sound. Inner landscapes materialized, and two vague figures emerged from the depths, exuding the aura of time, terrifying and immensely powerful.

These were her Transient Self and Dao Self, along with her True Self. The three rotated, as if there were three of her: one born in the past, one seated in the present, and one standing in the future, each presenting a wondrous scene.

This corresponded to the three great secrets: the past had not vanished, the present was eternal, and the future still held her!

Time seemed to freeze. The Transient Self recited scriptures in the past for the present, the True Self existed in the present, and the Dao Self sat in the future, comprehending the Dao.

Of course, this was not a true summoning of the past and future selves for assistance. It was a way to harness potential, transforming the Transient Self and Dao Self into tangible combat power, rapidly enhancing her strength.

The three selves merged, and she extended her delicate hands, forming a sword gesture, to clash with the legendary Immortal Bell!

"Clang!!!!!!!"

The Immortal Bell reverberated, echoing through the nine heavens and ten earths. Shaohua's slender body flew out like an arrow, piercing through layers of chaos, and then exploded with a thunderous boom.

"Ah!" The Immortal Tianhuang coughed up a mouthful of blood, suffering a terrible backlash. He could no longer control the Immortal Bell, which also flew out of his grasp.

Although Shaohua was a woman, she was fiercely powerful, and her final move, a forbidden killing technique, not only knocked the Immortal Bell away but also severely injured the Immortal Tianhuang through the bell.

"Don't exhaust the most precious Elixir of Immortality." The Immortal Tianhuang, unable to retrieve the Immortal Bell, decided to take his prize first, as the commotion was too great.

He looked into the depths of the chaos, and his expression suddenly changed, his pupils dilating with shock and anger.

"Hehehe, hahahaha!!" The Immortal Tianhuang laughed strangely, his face dark and unpredictable.

After all these years of hunting, he had finally been caught.

"Truly a formidable Donghuang. You not only deceived the world but also me. You are not in your second life's twilight; you have already entered your third life!"

If the Immortal Tianhuang hadn't realized what was going on by now, he would have truly lived for millions of years in vain.

Shaohua, who had just exploded, reappeared, not only unharmed but radiating with vitality and vigor, her entire being brimming with life and energy.

She smiled, her face breaking into a radiant grin.

No more pretense, no more hiding. You thought defeating me was the end, but I will return to rewrite it!

From the very beginning, she had been wary of this ancient, immortal bird, or rather, all her preparations were aimed at dealing with this very individual.

Her decline in her later years was genuine; her blood vitality had dried up, and she was approaching her twilight, or else she couldn't have deceived everyone, including the supreme beings who are not easily fooled.

However, when she battled the Lord of Reincarnation and the Venerable Xianyou, she held back her strength. Otherwise, there would have been no need for the Feather Ascension Banner; she could have taken them down with a single punch.

Who uses a long banner in a fair fight? It's not a proper weapon at all.

To Shaohua, the Feather Ascension Banner was more of a restraint, to prevent her from accidentally killing someone.

Later, when she faced the Venerable Xianyou, it was a straightforward contest of power. In simple terms, she matched his strength and then used her skill to gain the upper hand.

To make it more convincing, she allowed herself to be hit a few times, coughing up blood repeatedly to make herself appear weaker, almost shouting, "I'm about to die, come and finish me off!"

Unfortunately, those supreme beings were too cautious, each one lacking the courage to take risks, content to slumber as they awaited the path to immortality, which would only open in over 200,000 years.

Fortunately, Shaohua managed to lure the deepest and most significant fish.

She sat in solitude on Zishan for a hundred years, waiting for the Immortal Tianhuang to come to her.

Meanwhile, she had already taken the Elixir of Immortality to live her third life.

You thought I was in my second life’s twilight?

In reality, I just started my third life!

Although her third life was extended by the Elixir of Immortality and lacked the Reverse Life Transformation, her abundant blood vitality gave her the greatest confidence.

What good was it for the Immortal Tianhuang to have lived for millions of years? He was nothing more than a rat hiding in the shadows, resorting to ambushes.

What did it matter if he had lived from the dawn of ancient times to the present? He had experienced the Reverse Life Transformation only a few times, and his strength was not much greater than Shaohua's now.

He had merely survived, living millions of years in vain.

Like a tiger pretending to be a pig, if one continues to pretend, they will eventually become the very thing they pretend to be, because that spirit is long gone.

"Good, very good!!" The Immortal Tianhuang, realizing Shaohua's true nature, was both startled and enraged. At this moment, he understood that he had been outmaneuvered by this woman.

He dared not be careless anymore and quickly summoned the Immortal Bell, his eyes flashing with intense light.

Three lives were indeed advantageous; the more Elixir of Immortality one had, the greater the benefits if they could subdue the opponent.

The Immortal Bell possessed the power of time. Legends said that its chime could restore one to their youthful state, while its silence could cause instant aging and death.

Thus, when the Immortal Bell appeared, it clearly suppressed the opponent's great path.

However, he was not an expert in this domain, and his lack of deep understanding was a regret.

The Immortal Tianhuang believed that even if the woman had lived three lives, his millions of years of cultivation were far more formidable. How could a mere three lives compare to his?

In terms of cultivation, he had a decisive advantage. With the possession of an immortal artifact, he had another edge, and the suppression of the great path gave him yet another. No matter how you looked at it, he had three advantages, and the odds were still in his favor!

The Immortal Tianhuang's confidence surged.
