Chapter 1251: You Can Self-Detonate Even While Using Someone Else’s Body?!
“Hundred-Herb Withering Fist!”
All herbs withered, and trees decayed. Yao Sheng’s body deflated like a punctured balloon, his life force draining at a terrifying speed. Even with an immortal’s boundless lifespan, such a rapid loss of vitality couldn’t be sustained indefinitely. At this rate, he risked falling into the Five Decays of Heaven and People.
“Stabilize vitality.”
Yao Sheng once again employed Law Follows Words, halting the precipitous depletion of his life force and replenishing what his body had lost.
Time resumed its normal flow once more.
“Time stopped just now?”
After Yao Sheng decreed time to stop, Lu Yang had lost consciousness.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy and Big Senior Sister shouldn’t have been able to make time flow again.
The only one capable of this is Yao Sheng.
But if he could make time stop, why did he let it flow again?
“It seems that a second use of Law Follows Words will override the effect of the previous one, or perhaps Yao Sheng cannot bear the burden of maintaining two commands simultaneously?”
Lu Yang analyzed the situation. As things stand, Law Follows Words isn’t invincible.
First, Yao Sheng can’t issue decrees like Defeat the Everlasting Immortal Fairy or Open the Box World.
Second, Law Follows Words doesn’t directly create rules; it achieves its effects through other means.
Third, in the same spacetime, only one of Yao Sheng’s “Rules” can take effect.
That said, the Law Follows Words Dao Fruit is still ridiculously overpowered. Judging from Yao Sheng’s few commands, it can practically replicate the abilities of all Dao Fruits. No wonder the Four Ancient Immortals couldn’t defeat him even when they joined forces.
If that’s the case, the previous alterations of the timeline were also the result of him using the Law Follows Words Dao Fruit.
“You have been forsaken by the Five Elements,” Yao Sheng commanded once more.
Lu Yang realized that the earth beneath him had transformed into Xirang soil, even more precious than that in the Dao-Seeking Sect’s herb garden. It was the legendary Nine Heavens Xirang Soil.
The soil stirred, and a sapling burst forth, growing into a towering tree in the blink of an eye.
“Jianmu?!” the Heaven Mandate Immortal and the other two immortals exclaimed. The Jianmu World Tree, the Epoch Immortal’s former form, emerged from the soil?
The Epoch Immortal’s original form was the Jianmu divine tree that reached the heavens. Among all plants that gained sentience and became demon spirits, the Epoch Immortal was the only one to attain immortality and comprehend the Epoch Dao Fruit, an achievement inseparable from his origin as the Jianmu divine tree. This was a testament to the Jianmu’s heaven-defying nature. It could even be called an immortal tree.
And in all of heaven and earth, there had only been one Jianmu—the Epoch Immortal.
Yet Yao Sheng had now conjured another Jianmu tree with his Law Follows Words ability.
Immediately after, an inconspicuous stream appeared on the ground. It was Weak Water, where nothing could float, and a natural sealing material.
Upon contact with the water, the Nine Heavens Xirang Soil expanded and absorbed the Weak Water, soon gaining sealing properties as well.
The Jianmu grew wildly, coiling around the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. As she tried to break free, the swollen Nine Heavens Xirang Soil spread upward along the Jianmu tree, sealing her securely in place until only her head remained exposed.
She struggled fiercely, only to find that the seal composed of Jianmu and Nine Heavens Xirang Soil was incredibly sturdy. It was nearly impossible to break free.
Heavenly fire descended to incinerate the world, while the essence of the five metals materialized from thin air, evolving into all manner of immortal artifacts—precious cauldrons, gourds, cattail-leaf fans, jade flutes...
Those forsaken by the Five Elements should be slain by the Five Elements.
The Heaven Mandate Immortal and the others watched this scene in horror, their expressions shifting dramatically.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy couldn’t evade. She could only endure the heavenly fire and the immortal artifacts forged from the five metals’ essence head-on. Even the most powerful immortal couldn’t withstand such an assault.
The Heaven Mandate Immortal directed lightning tribulations to shatter the immortal artifacts, which were single-use and not as durable as expected.
With heaven and earth as his chessboard, the Nine-Layers Immortal defined the heavenly fire as “yang” and used “yin” chess pieces to suppress it.
The Qilin Immortal reverted to his original form, his roar resounding through the universe as he rammed himself into the Jianmu’s roots.
Although the immortal artifacts and heavenly fire kept being destroyed, an inexhaustible stream of new ones took their place. In addition, the Jianmu’s roots were protected by the Nine Heavens Xirang Soil. The moment the Qilin Immortal touched it, the soil and the tree began growing onto him, attempting to seal him as well.
In the end, the heavenly fire descended, and the immortal artifacts detonated. Thunderous explosions echoed without cease, and smoke billowed everywhere.
Suddenly, an unmatched force erupted from within the smoke, dispersing it in an instant. The Jianmu and Xirang Soil exploded, their fragments scattered across the ground.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy stretched her limbs, her joints popping. Her expression was one of immense satisfaction.
“At last, I’ve fully adapted to Lass Yun’s body. Lass Yun, your body is really hard to get used to!”
“You flatter me, Senior Immortal Fairy.”
Since her resurrection, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had never felt so at ease. Even the immortal body she had condensed during her battle with Hui Doudou couldn’t compare to the comfort of Yun Zhi’s body.
I can finally unleash my full power!
“Bluff and Bluster.”
Law Follows Words was activated, yet nothing happened to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.
Yao Sheng’s expression grew somewhat grim.
“Yao Sheng, it looks like your Law Follows Words can’t be used on me directly! Let’s go at it again!
“Since you weren’t satisfied with your suicide last time, I’ll just beat you to death this time!”
Having completely adapted to her new body, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was brimming with spirit. Her blood and qi soared to the heavens, her entire body glowing. Her lustrous black hair fluttered as her aura surged, heroic and dashing. She radiated vitality and confidence, exuding the beauty of a hero who believed none could rival her in the world.
Lu Yang felt his heart racing.
Golden immortal fists rained down, ostentatious and imperious, each strike full of killing intent.
Yao Sheng erupted with a terrifying aura, his power suffusing the air as he went up against the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.
Qi and blood and immortal power flowed in torrents, making the battle extremely difficult to follow. Heaven collapsed, and earth cracked as the two forces were blasted apart.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy attacked without defending, driving Yao Sheng back repeatedly until he had no opportunity to utter a word and activate his Law Follows Words ability.
Yao Sheng once again entertained thoughts of retreating, but what greeted him was an even more ferocious barrage of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s fists.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy alone was honored. She shone with resplendent radiance, like the peerlessly beautiful immortal fairy of ancient legends, unparalleled in grace and beauty.
She drew in a deep breath and delivered the most powerful blow since the battle had begun.
BOOM! Crack!
The bones in Yao Sheng’s lower back shattered one by one, bone fragments piercing his flesh, causing him excruciating pain.
“That feels good.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Every bit of her resentment toward Yao Sheng had been vented through her fists.
Grinning broadly, she declared, “Now it’s time to get serious!”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy—or rather, Yun Zhi’s body—grew ever more resplendent, blazing with brilliance as dazzling as the sun.
Aside from Jiang Ping’an and the Midheaven Emperor-Lord, everyone present was all too familiar with this state of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.
She was about to self-detonate!
“Why are you reacting like that?” Jiang Ping’an didn’t understand why Lu Yang’s expression had shifted so drastically.
Lu Yang had no time to explain. He hurriedly pulled Jiang Ping’an and the Midheaven Emperor-Lord into the Qingfeng Sword’s small world.
The Heaven Mandate Immortal and the other two immortals also rushed headlong into the Qingfeng Sword’s small world.
Once inside, the Heaven Mandate Immortal produced several immortal artifacts containing their own small worlds and cast them outside to envelop the Qingfeng Sword.
Only after being cocooned within layer upon layer of small worlds did those in the know breathe a little easier.
For the first time in his life, Yao Sheng’s face registered utter disbelief. You can self-detonate even while using someone else’s body?!
What greeted Yao Sheng was the most powerful explosion in all of history.
BOOOOOM!
