Chapter 520: Setting a Deadly Trap (Part 1)

"Does this country-destroying monster with human traits always appear next to Ye Cang, no matter what choice is made? In other words, it’s a definite killing point. If this entity isn’t removed, Ye Cang cannot be defeated."

"The Favor of the heavens has reached this level; fate is controlling him. Who is behind Ye Cang, and why do they want to manipulate his growth?"

Yun Ye simulated again to see what would happen if he directly tried to eliminate this country-destroying monster.

Indeed, a turning point appeared—without the monster present, Ye Cang would have to pay a great price to escape from the various Mystic Realm cultivators encircling him. This price would prevent Ye Cang from advancing to the Mystic Realm and would require other opportunities to compensate, which is why he left the Qian Yuan Dynasty area.

"Such a tough fate—it’s still impossible to kill him completely?"

Yun Ye fell into silence.

He had never attempted to simulate a future where he directly erased Ye Cang, but now he felt it was necessary to try.

Simply relying on the Mystic Realm cultivators of the Qian Yuan Dynasty would not be enough to trap Ye Cang; they would escape for various reasons, only delaying his growth.

"Please reveal your true form…"

Yun Ye murmured, allowing the universe to sense him. His consciousness connected with his true self, and the scene of the Heavenly Dry Universe exploded in his awareness.

After a year of devouring, the once limited Heavenly Dry Universe, which only included the solar system, had expanded considerably. However, it was still very far from opening a second stellar system.

The closest star system to the solar system is about 4.2 light-years away, roughly forty trillion kilometers. Estimating the diameter of the Red Heaven realm, it could reach around ten billion kilometers at most. If not for the difficulty in measuring the matter created by spirit energy, Yun Ye would find opening the solar system challenging. Establishing a second stellar system would require at least a perfected Mystic Realm being to accomplish.

The universe and the world are clearly fundamentally different.

One operates at an extremely low energy level, with infinite physical distance.

The other operates at a very high energy level, with limitless energy potential.

To be honest, Yun Ye felt that his approach of traversing the universe was not suitable for combat; it was primarily for computing power, simulating various environments, and creating abilities that the Red Heaven realm found hard to cultivate.

Otherwise, even across several light-years, an attack from a high-level cultivator would pass through with a single hit—it would just take a long time to travel through the void.

Meteorites can drift for countless years, and the attacks of high-level cultivators are highly condensed. In an environment without spirit energy to absorb the impact, they won’t be dispersed and can travel from one side of the universe to the other. Unless there is truly infinite distance to neutralize the attack, that won’t be possible.

"Begin!"

The consciousness of his clone merged with that of his true self.

All the computational power of the Heavenly Dry Universe mobilized, fully unleashing the Heavenly Principle Trajectory to explore every possibility of Ye Cang.

Scenes flashed by.

In this simulation, Yun Ye took action and directly erased Ye Cang, which indeed alarmed some beings.

A vague presence erupted in anger, striking down the Qian Yuan Dynasty in a single blow. It then tried to trace the causal connections to search for Yun Ye, but Yun Ye obscured himself and revealed nothing. In a fit of rage, it swept through several states, erasing everything around, including the New Heavenly Dynasty.

"He didn’t notice me; this person’s power is insufficient."

Yun Ye nodded. It seemed that his power was just beyond the reach of someone in the Honored Position. Even during the simulation, they couldn’t awaken to detect the anomaly.

With this conclusion, all questions were resolved.

The Honored Position was indeed strong, but that was its limit; even if higher levels were watching, they could not act immediately. This gave Yun Ye enough time to complete his meticulous plan to bring Ye Cang to his end.

…

Ye Cang eliminated the last disaster beast, and a deep aura spread for thousands of miles, as if gravity had suddenly intensified. The disaster beasts within the radius all roared lowly, gathering towards his position, sensing the presence of a living person.

"Spirit Law has finally reached the law realms!"

He clenched his fist, a look of confidence appearing on his face.

Each of his laws had entered the law realms with the support of six Fixed Sea Pearls. His power had completely evolved, and he now felt confident that he could move freely within the Qian Yuan Dynasty.

It was finally time to begin his revenge!

With the protection of the Fixed Sea Pearls, the Qian Yuan Dynasty could no longer locate his position using ordinary methods, and they would not even be able to discern his life or death.

In this situation, he held the initiative!

"Whoosh!"

Ye Cang transformed into a streak of rainbow light and vanished, his gaze flashing. "With the protection of the Fixed Sea Pearls, I no longer need to expend extra power to counter the Calamities. This is another advantage for me. When encountering strong opponents, I can dive into the area where the Calamities are densest. Even Mystic Realm beings will have to think twice about chasing me!"

He headed straight for the front line Spirit Palace, targeting the lives of the many cultivators inside and the resources they held.

The Spirit Palace, similar to Spiritual Attire, can create a safe position that isn’t tainted by Calamities. Hundreds and thousands of Spirit Palaces form the defensive line of the Qian Yuan Dynasty.

This requires super spirit veins for support and is far less efficient than smaller Spiritual Attires.

Clearly, due to inadequacies in the barrier and artifact techniques, they had no choice but to resort to this. That is why the Qian Yuan Dynasty has always been at a disadvantage, constantly being harvested by the Godly Thunder Demon King like crops. Otherwise, with the strength of the Godly Thunder Demon King, the Qian Yuan Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.

However, this Spirit Palace had a fatal flaw: to conserve spirit energy, the Spirit Palace normally had no defensive capabilities, allowing demons to enter freely.

Undoubtedly, the more functions it had, the weaker its effectiveness became. The power of Calamities poses a significant threat to cultivators, and not all cultivators have the means to respond. Using formations to uniformly suppress the Spirit Palaces undoubtedly conserves massive amounts of energy and brings combat power back to balance.

With this, Ye Cang could enter the Spirit Palace directly!

A long rainbow flashed by.

So fast, it was almost instantaneous.

Before he arrived, the Spiritual Law had already activated.

"Transforming Yang Spiritual Law—Solar Body!"

Power like the blazing sun gathered in his fist. When Ye Cang struck down, the entire region instantly turned to nothingness.

The demons on site roared and released their Demonic Power to enhance their physiques, but in the face of such immense spirit energy destruction at high temperatures, it was ineffective and turned to blue smoke immediately.

The cultivators also summoned numerous artifacts and treasures to protect themselves, but even these were vaporized instantly, unable to withstand the force.

Strong opponents from both the Spirit Palace and the demons acted, using the power of completeness in the law realms to forcibly counter with their vast amounts of law power. However, the destructive capacity of this punch completely surpassed the level of the law realms. Their power was sharply depleted and could not resist.

As they faced imminent death, the Spirit Palace’s law realms activated Talismans, and the power of the Mystic Realm erupted, transforming into a light sword that sliced down towards Ye Cang.

"Transforming Spiritual Law—Undying Body!"

The light sword slashed through, cutting open Ye Cang’s head, blood splattering everywhere, and his body began to fall apart violently, erased by the power of the Mystic Realm.

But the Undying Body activated, transforming the body into dust, while the true self appeared on the other side, completing the substitution.

"Strike again!"

The law realm cultivator moved his finger, the Mystic Realm light sword adjusting its aim, once more cutting towards Ye Cang.

The power of the Mystic Realm is a result of enhancing the Ninth Turn law power; even a casual strike surpasses the Nine Turns Great Law. It is highly compressed; it can’t be merely a single attack.

"…"

Ye Cang’s expression slightly changed, as he gathered the light of the sun in his hand, fiercely charging at the law realm opponent. The cost of challenging the power of the Mystic Realm was considerable.

First, he needed to eliminate the one in control!
