Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect

”You, you stay away!”

Seeing Lü Yang approaching step by step, Sui Ling’s face showed a mix of shock and anger. Recalling the infamous name of ”Yuan Tu,” she couldn’t help but clench her legs together.

However, Lü Yang had no intention of engaging in idle talk with her.

Forming a hand seal and pointing, the \[Tribulation Wave] behind him immediately transformed into a brilliant sword light, flying straight towards the dragon girl.

Sui Ling gritted her teeth upon seeing this and reverted to her human form. After all, her original dragon form was too massive, making her an easy target for the flying sword. She then took out a luminous pearl and placed it above her head, from which countless moonlights cascaded down, forming a canopy that enveloped her.

This item was called the \[Moon Tassel Pearl], a gift from Tian Qiu.

The myriad moonlights from the pearl appeared delicate but were actually as solid as gold and iron. For a moment, they withstood the slashing of the \[Tribulation Wave], causing sparks to fly.

Seeing this, Sui Ling was initially stunned, then showed a look of joy: ”So that’s it, you can’t unleash a second sword!”

She had just been terrified, thinking that every sword from Lü Yang was of such caliber, almost mistaking him for a grand True Person of the Primordial Saint Sect!

Lü Yang, upon seeing this, merely gave a cold smile. Indeed, that sword wasn’t casually unleashed; it utilized the fourth mystical ability of the \[Tribulation Wave], \[Proclaiming Might], combined with his profound mana. After accumulating power for a while, he executed the slash, which couldn’t be easily replicated in a short time.

But so what?

”Does Fellow Daoist think I need that sword to slay you?”

As Lü Yang’s words fell, his hand seals changed, and the singular brilliant sword light suddenly split, transforming into hundreds of sword lights with a few flickers!

\[Lost Magnetic Union]!

This was originally a divine ability Lü Yang could only refine upon reaching the mid-stage consummation, and it was the primary purpose of his journey to the Magnetic Divine Mountain. Now, he had prematurely evolved it!

In an instant, each of the sword lights he had split emitted a unique magnetic force, transforming into \[Magnetic Union Divine Lights], breaking through the five elements. Just a sweep over Sui Ling’s \[Moon Tassel Pearl] stripped away the myriad moonlights like peeling a shell!

Sui Ling was immediately horrified and hastily activated her divine ability.

\[Heavenly River Mouth]!

In the next moment, a dragon head manifested by Sui Ling’s spell appeared, sucking in Lü Yang’s sword lights with great force, swallowing them all!

The same divine ability, when wielded by different cultivators, varies based on their cultivation.

When performed by Sui Ying, the \[Heavenly River Mouth] was an offensive technique that projected the heavenly river. But now, under Sui Ling’s control, it became a suppressive and sealing divine ability.

According to her plan, after swallowing these sword lights, they would be submerged in the heavenly river within her abdomen, aligning with the \[Water Cold Metal Chill] phenomenon, specifically countering the metallic aura of flying swords. No matter how mystical the sword, it would suffer from submersion, turning into scrap metal in no time.

However, in the next second, Sui Ling’s expression changed.

Because at this moment, Lü Yang’s magic sword, after being swallowed by her \[Heavenly River Mouth], not only didn’t submerge but became even more violent.

The magic sword rampaged within her abdomen, moving up and down.

For a moment, Sui Ling felt intense abdominal pain until a sword tip pierced through her body, forcing her to raise her neck and let out a long howl.

”Roar——!”

The delicate girl was pierced through by Lü Yang’s magic sword, disappearing on the spot, replaced by a towering true dragon diving towards the sea.

She intended to escape!

However, upon seeing this, Lü Yang laughed: ”Trying to flee?”

As his words fell, a mass of mysterious fire suddenly rose behind him, the flames blazing, illuminating a majestic phantom with three heads and six arms, a blue face, and fangs.

Immediately, this phantom took a step forward, instantly becoming solid. The mysterious fire burned into a ring behind its head, reflecting countless circular lights. The six arms each grabbed a part of Sui Ling’s true dragon form—neck, vital point, spine, tail—pinning her firmly in mid-air!

\[Heavenly Firmament’s All-Encompassing Dharma Body]!

This was the first time Lü Yang had displayed this second-grade true skill after mastering it. It was truly unparalleled in might, suppressing the true dragon with sheer brute force!

Next, Lü Yang gathered qi in his chest and shouted: ”Freeze!”

The marvel of the Dharma body, \[Heavenly Firmament]!

Innate divine ability, \[Discern Right from Wrong]!

The combination of the two resulted in an effect akin to words becoming law. With a single word, Sui Ling’s struggling dragon body was forcibly immobilized.

Almost simultaneously, Lü Yang’s Dharma body suddenly spread its arms.

”Rip!”

Accompanied by the sound of flesh tearing, the six arms simultaneously pulled in different directions, directly tearing Sui Ling into six pieces on the spot!

”Ah!”

The excruciating pain of her destroyed Dharma body made Sui Ling scream miserably. Without hesitation, in the next second, her dragon scales shattered, and a massive blood light exploded. She decisively detonated her entire dragon body, covering her soul’s escape as it turned into light, attempting to merge into the sea and escape through water.

Then, almost simultaneously, Lü Yang’s Dharma body opened its eyes.

\[All-Encompassing]!

This mystical Dharma body could capture souls and thoughts, specifically countering spirits. Now, as he activated it, he merely opened his mouth and sucked towards Sui Ling’s soul from afar.

”Whoosh whoosh!”

In an instant, Sui Ling felt a wave of dizziness. Without the protection of her physical body, her soul was as fragile as a mayfly, now filled with immense fear.

’He wants to kill me!? He really dares to kill me!?’

Sui Ying was one thing, having ventured inland on his own, far from the dragon palace’s reach.

But this place was right before the Four Seas Sect! The dragon palace was nearby, and as a noble true dragon, Lü Yang actually dared to kill her under the dragon palace’s nose?

”Wait, wait...”

Fearing that Lü Yang might not understand the situation, Sui Ling hurriedly tried to explain loudly. However, Lü Yang gave her no chance, his large hand crashing down.

”Boom!”

With a loud bang, the entire world seemed to fall silent for a moment. The remaining demon soldiers and the hiding Buddhist cultivators all looked up, seeing Lü Yang standing tall in the sky, his Dharma body blazing. A massive true dragon corpse, as large as a mountain, was held in his hand, lifeless.

”...Dead?”

Among the Buddhist cultivators, Hui Ku opened his mouth, almost unable to believe it: ”A mid-Foundation Establishment true dragon, just got torn apart alive by that demon?”

But he quickly regained composure, even showing some excitement.

”Good, good, good. Unexpectedly, he refined such a ferocious Dharma body. He should enter our Pure Land to cleanse his hostility and achieve true enlightenment.”

Boom!

At this moment, a thunderous roar came from afar, accompanied by an angry dragon roar: ”Demon... you’ve gone too far!”

However, in the next second, a loud laugh suppressed the voice:

”Fellow Daoist, why the rush? We haven’t finished our duel yet!”

It was Suo Huan.

This grand True Person, who had hidden overseas for six hundred years, actually kept his promise and truly blocked the late-stage and even consummate Foundation Establishment grand True Persons for Lü Yang!

But this was just the beginning.

Lü Yang retracted his Dharma body, took out the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner, threw Sui Ling’s corpse into it, operated his mana for a moment, and then gently shook the banner.

In the next second, Sui Ling emerged from the banner, fully intact, in human form, respectfully bowing to Lü Yang. The previous hatred and anger seemed to have never existed, replaced entirely by endless loyalty: ”Sui Ling greets Master.”

Not only Sui Ling.

Including the seven early-Foundation Establishment demon clans he had just slain with a single sword, their mangled corpses and souls were all collected into the banner by Lü Yang.

Then, holding the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner, Lü Yang calmly landed on the Magnetic Divine Mountain.

Despite killing Sui Ling and breaking the 470,000 demon soldiers’ formation, he felt no relaxation in his heart.

Because he knew very well that the overseas demon clans were just extras. Those who truly sought his life and cultivation were still hiding in the shadows, waiting for the right moment.

”They’re waiting for me to start breaking through...”

Refining the Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend, condensing divine abilities, was originally a significant task requiring a peaceful environment. But now, no one would give him the chance to refine slowly.

If he began refining, those lurking in the shadows would immediately emerge to take his life.

But if he didn’t refine and break through, he couldn’t escape this deadlock.

’Pure Land, Dao Court, Sword Pavilion... all probably see me as a dish, just waiting to divide and consume me. The Primordial Saint Sect even treats me as a discarded pawn.’

Even killing Sui Ling and the demon soldiers aligned perfectly with the major powers’ interests.

’But soon, they’ll regret it.’

Seven early-Foundation Establishment, one mid-Foundation Establishment.

Adding the existing Chen Xin’an in the banner, even excluding the pseudo-Foundation Establishment Su Nu, he now had nine Foundation Establishment banner spirits!

Thinking of this, Lü Yang gave a cold smile, then, without hesitation, sat under the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner and began refining the Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend!
