Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 878 - 207: A Slip-Up?

"Ten Thousand Styles" originally referred to a martial arts school in a world where martial arts were prevalent.

Similar to schools like "Southern Fist," "Inner Family," and "Form Intent" on Earth, "Ten Thousand Styles" both refers to a type of boxing and embodies everything related to it.

What exactly the people of that world looked like, even Mei Gemu can't recall now. His personality is under the looming threat of the Divine Plague Curse Technique, let alone those "experiences" and "memories." For those irrelevant memories that don't concern his own nature, he long gave up trying to remember them.

However, there's one thing he remembers.

The creatures of that world definitely had more than two hands.

If they only had two hands, they absolutely couldn't execute the seamless Ten Thousand Forms Chaotic Army.

Yet, what was considered impossible in the founding world of "Ten Thousand Styles" was accomplished by Mei Gemu.

With just one hand, he blocked Wang Qi's fast sword, which had few rivals even among the Golden Core Stage.

Now, his hand looked like a famous Jiangdong dish called "Squirrel Guaiyu," as the skin and muscles of his whole arm were sliced into strips by Sword Qi. If an ordinary person suffered such an attack, it would be unbearably painful. Lingchi execution couldn't be much worse. However, Mei Gemu, who just months ago was an ordinary mortal, showed no reaction on his face.

"He" once tempered his body in the Great Sun Golden Wind. Such pain could not compare to this mortal torture.

Wang Qi frowned slightly. It's not that he found the move too cruel. He was puzzled because the feeling in his hand was entirely unlike cutting through animal flesh; instead, it felt like slicing through decaying leather and rotten wood.

Moreover, Mei Gemu didn't shed a single drop of blood.

"This guy, in order to resist the Divine Plague Curse, just used the Divine Power containing the Innate Five Elements' strength to refine his body into this ghastly state? Even if it drives away the Heart Demon Great Curse, won't he have to transcend tribulation again?"

Wang Qi understood that this feeling was a sign of the complete denaturation of the biological protein.

The Innate Five Elements is inherently a destructive force, how can it be directly used for body refinement?

This means, Mei Gemu's body is in the process of dying.

If it weren't for the Innate Five Elements' Divine Power in this Banished Immortal being too dense, Wang Qi's Sword Qi would have naturally dissipated upon entering his body, and he might not have kept his hand.

Mei Gemu's consciousness was like a hard drive already filled to the brim, unable to function. Each of his thoughts required a hundred or a thousand times the concentration it usually did. This was a tremendous disadvantage in high-speed combat.

However, the essence of "Ten Thousand Styles" lies in "Heartless Strike," and Mei Gemu's current state happens to perfectly align with the true intent of this martial art.

With just one hand, Mei Gemu transformed it into countless palm shadows to protect himself, with thick black energy entwining his hands, making him look like a perfectly round black egg as he rolled towards Wang Qi.

Wang Qi brushed his fingers along the long sword, the Qi Gang and Life Flame entwining the sword's spine. He didn't use the sword's edge but instead used the spine to clash with Mei Gemu without retreating even half a step. However, even though Mei Gemu was nearing exhaustion, he was by no means easy to deal with. In just a few moments, Wang Qi was disarmed. Thousands of palm shadows were about to fall onto Wang Qi.

"Dao Heart Pure Yang Mirror!"

Wang Qi, unhurried, gestured a hand mnemonic, summoning countless Dao Heart Pure Yang Mirrors to stack before him. Each Dao Heart Pure Yang Mirror absorbed a palm strike. One after another, the mirrors shattered, but the added counterforce broke Mei Gemu's hand bones.

Roaring fiercely, Mei Gemu leapt into the air, using his feet in place of hands to forcefully clash with Wang Qi's Dao Heart Pure Yang Mirrors. But this time, Wang Qi retreated, no longer as brave as before.

In his heart, Wang Qi calculated, "My own Mana slightly surpasses the Heart Demon Great Curse in quality. But during the recent clash, one unit of my Mana could only resist about half a unit of Divine Power, even with the Life Flame's blessing."

"However, the Dao Heart Pure Yang Mirror, besides shattering, also reflects force. One unit of the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell can actually resist more of the Hongyuan Divine Power."

"Moreover, only thirty percent of the Dao Heart Pure Yang Mirrors were neutralized by that Innate Five Elements' power. More of them were shattered by Mei Gemu's raw force. This indicates that the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell or other Heart Demon Great Curses have strong resistance to this strength."

"Although the fusion of Hongyuan Divine Power with Innate Five Elements is bizarre, no matter how bizarre, it's still Divine Power. Being Divine Power, it must adhere to the general laws of Divine Power."

"The Heart Demon Great Curse is the nemesis of Divine Power."

"The Five Plagues Grand Spell, derived from analyzing the Hongyuan Divine Power, is perfect for deceiving and concealing."

Wang Qi wiped his left hand on his waist, retrieving a Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle, then took a Heart Demon Great Curse Memory from his arm armor. Holding a Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle in each hand, he assumed a sword-holding stance. Blue and pale Spirit Light surged from each bottle, like two long swords.

Mei Gemu's remaining consciousness instinctively sensed something amiss. However, his reaction was too slow to avoid it. At the moment of crisis, he used both feet once again to execute the Ten Thousand Forms Chaotic Army, countless foot shadows layering upon each other, causing the surrounding clouds to change, and the heavenly light to dim. The Innate Killing Destiny and Power of Destruction operated, causing the Spiritual Energy beneath his feet to break, making the surrounding space wail.

Yet...

"Did you really think I couldn't break this move? Disharmonious one, I shall destroy you!"

Facing this Ten Thousand Styles move for the third time, how could Wang Qi not discern its flaw? Unless Mei Gemu's speed surpassed his cognition, Wang Qi was bound to seize the flaw!

A simple three-step move: one foot hooks Mei Gemu's left ankle, another kicks the crucial point on the sole of Mei Gemu's foot, and the third smashes the knee of Mei Gemu's right leg. After a heated struggle, two sword-shaped arcs pierce into Mei Gemu's body.

In other words, Wang Qi injected the power of the Five Plague Grand Curse and another Heart Demon Great Curse into Mei Gemu's body.

"Since my Mana dissipates as soon as it enters your body, let's find something that won't be dissolved."

"Although the Heart Demon Great Curse derives from the Divine Tao, it surpasses its origin, having a more profound corrosive effect on the Divine Tao than ordinary spells, and the Five Plague Grand Curse even comes from the Hongyuan God. For the Hongyuan God, there is no better 'Trojan' than this."

"And the power within your body is Hongyuan's power, the ideal 'interface.'"

"My true intention for prolonging this battle is to strip away the Hongyuan Divine Body!"

The "Divine Plague Curse Technique" that Wang Qi just injected, strictly speaking, is a subtype of the Divine Plague Curse Technique. It originally came from the Divine Capital Special Zone, a product of the Heart Demon Mysterious Net's innovation. It is benevolent, designed to 'control a cluster system'—the Divine Capital Heart Demon Mysterious Net could only operate stably because of it.

This is equivalent to exploiting a 'backdoor' to hack into a 'Divine Spirit' and forcibly transform it under one's control!

—The first Divine Plague Curse Technique strips away your will, the second one strips away your divinity.

—Now, let's see what else you can do!

"Damn..."

At this final moment, a brief clarity flickered through Mei Gemu's mind.

"Hongyuan!"

—Since Hongyuan is bound to be polluted, I might as well abandon this Divine Body.

—Come on... let's see... whose life is bigger...

Under his control, the Hongyuan God finally descended into madness.

"Universal Calamity!"

Yue Luo Liu Li, disregarding her nearly shattered nasal bone, pressed her snout against the core of the Undying Dragon Soul.

The blood-colored frozen air released by the Galaxy Battlefront had already firmly restricted this Undying Dragon Soul. The nebula-like soul trembled, rotating slowly, like a jammed millstone, attempting to grind its obstacles.

But, there was no time left.

As a residual soul, the Undying Dragon Soul had forgotten how to leap out of the long river—or perhaps it never knew in its previous life. At this last moment, it lost the most abundant resource of an Immortal—time!

In an instant, the galaxy dimmed.

The range of the Universal Calamity affected an entire spatial region. It froze to the extreme, annihilating entirely, completely prohibiting movement. That Undying Dragon Soul, which had been operating for two hundred million years, stopped for the first time.

When it reached a stable equilibrium state, it meant the termination of Negative Entropy and the end of vitality.

The Undying Dragon Soul shattered into smaller fragments. Perhaps they still would not perish automatically, but at least they no longer had the power to harm.

At that moment, a gale struck. Yue Luo Liu Li, who hadn't fully recovered from her injuries, and had just used a Two-Injuring Technique to deal a thousand damage to the enemy while sustaining eight hundred herself, was plagued with old wounds stacking on new ones, failed to dodge in the first instant.

The Divine Power of Hongyuan, carrying the force of Innate Final Destiny and Killing Destiny, dissolved Yue Luo Liu Li's defense and extinguished her vitality. Just as Yue Luo Liu Li tried to gather her breath to break free, she felt a trace of 'foreign substance' mixed into the Hongyuan Divine Power.

—This is... Wang Qi's Divine Plague Curse Technique!

—Darn it, the Divine Plague Curse Technique actually affected me?

Yue Luo Liu Li was unaware of the benign nature of that Divine Plague Curse Technique, which doesn't harm people, only enslaves gods. A chill crept into her heart—she had seen Exiled Immortals devastated and self-destructed by that Magic Spell.

The Hongyuan God was completely driven mad this time. Ignoring the frantic attacks from Liu Yi behind him, ignoring the disintegration of his own body, He wrapped chains around Yue Luo Liu Li, desperately dragging Little Dragon to crash toward Wang Qi on the ground, determined for mutual destruction. Due to the power of His Innate Final Destiny, any Essence Yue Luo Liu Li generated was immediately dissolved, leaving her no strength to break free. Liu Yi was alarmed, wanting to flee with Wang Qi. But at that moment, Wang Qi raised his hands, releasing a vast amount of Spirit Light, from which countless Operators manifested. These Operators, arranged and combined, descended upon the Hongyuan God's Divine Body.

He was now seizing control of this god!

Endless black light erupted, obscuring the sky and sun, and the Hongyuan God's aura became violently explosive, seemingly about to self-destruct immediately. Panicked, Liu Yi stepped in front of Wang Qi, ready to deploy his Primordial Spirit's Magical Domain. Yue Luo Liu Li was still entangled; he couldn't abandon the Dragon Clan Envoy and flee, so he could only rely on Wang Qi. Moreover, here, anyone could die, but Wang Qi must be protected at all costs.

But at that moment, Wang Qi suddenly shouted in a furious, exasperated manner, raising his sword to stab Mei Gemu.

Then, with a flash of black light, the power of the Innate Five Elements filled heaven and earth.
