Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 485 - 484 - Self-Destruction_1
Chapter 485 -484: Self-Destruction_1
The Imperial Teacher severed the causality between himself and Immortal Eternity, who in turn forgot about himself and lost the ability to perceive his own existence.
“Lunar True Fire.”
He whispered in his heart, and with a hiss, a ball of fire burst forth from his mouth. This True Fire was specialized for targeting souls, dispersing them into nothingness. It ranked equal to the Sun True Fire, and after being refined by him, even a Semi-Immortal level powerhouse would struggle to resist.
The Lunar True Fire was like a bone-deep infection, mercilessly corroding the soul of Immortal Eternity.
“I remember now!”
At the moment the Imperial Teacher attacked Immortal Eternity, the causality between them was re-established, causing Immortal Eternity to recall his past.
His Eternity Dao Fruit started activating, his soul started to reform, and the Lunar True Fire was purified.
“As I suspected, the Lunar True Fire alone will not kill you.”
Even though he had guessed this would happen, the Imperial Teacher was still taken aback, unable to discern the methods used by his opponent.
There were methods to deal with the Lunar True Fire, but each one was exceedingly troublesome and never as effortless as Immortal Eternity made it seem.
“Is it the power of the Dao Fruit, something related to the soul?”
This battle was proving more challenging than the Imperial Teacher had anticipated. He supposed that with nothing but a soul, Immortal Eternity would be easier to handle. He hadn’t expected that Immortal Eternity’s soul could reform at will, turning what should have been a weakness into a formidable strength.
Immortal Eternity was also pondering the techniques deployed by the Imperial Teacher, the ones that had made him forget the existence of the Imperial Teacher himself. He had never heard of such extraordinary magic skills. Was this the result of the Imperial Teacher’s Dao Fruit?
Ordinary Cultivators rely on magic skills and physical prowess during battle, but when reaching the Unification and Pass Tribulation stages, they had to also concern themselves with certain ‘rules’. These ‘rules’ would easily crush a medium or low-realm Cultivator, but for those at the same stage, they offered no clear advantage. Everyone at that level could utilise the same ‘rules’, so no advantage was measurable.
However, once a Cultivator at the Pass Tribulation stage managed to condense a Dao Fruit, things changed significantly. Having a Dao Fruit meant that the Cultivator had access to a unique set of ‘rules’ of their own. Each Dao Fruit had different properties, and the understanding of the Dao Fruit themselves often resulted in variances among Semi-Immortal level powerhouses.
In battles among Semi-Immortal level powerhouses, it was vital to comprehend the nature of the opponent’s Dao Fruit.
“Defeat Tribulation Immortal Body!”
A gigantic statue of a deity emerged, reaching the heavens and spreading across the ground. It nearly shattered the space and had the ability to pluck stars from the sky. The deity statue carried the characteristics of immortality and was indestructible!
The Imperial Teacher, once again, activated the Dao Fruit of Causality to sever his connection with Immortal Eternity.
“Damn it, this trick again…” Immortal Eternity ground his teeth in annoyance. Without understanding the principle of this technique, he would always be at a disadvantage. Swiftly, he began to use his magical power to inscribe a string of characters explaining the ins and outs of the situation. Still, as the Dao Fruit of Causality was activated, the row of characters began to blur and became hard to distinguish.
Halfway through his words, his eyes turned hazy, and he forgot about the existence of the Imperial Teacher once more.
A silver needle materialized out of thin air. With a spatial leap, it jumped from the outside of the deity statue to the inside, striking Immortality Eternity right between the brows.
Immortal Eternity cried out in pain, his body weakened, and the Defeat Tribulation Immortal Body could no longer be maintained and collapsed with a thunderous roar.
The Imperial Teacher emerged, and Immortal Eternity’s memories returned.
“Damn it, it’s the Soul-breaking Needle crafted from the essence of gold and silver.”

All the attacks employed by the Imperial Teacher were directed at the soul.
“Even if you know, what can you do? The Soul-breaking Needle can separate your three souls and seven spirits. I am genuinely curious to see how you are going to reform your soul this time!” The Imperial Teacher sneered, a pang of heartache causing his face to twist slightly. Soul-breaking Needles were incredibly difficult to forge – he had only ever managed to make three. One had been used to display his formidable power when he assumed the role of Imperial Teacher, leaving him with only one. Making more was almost impossible.
The effects of the Soul-breaking Needle were immediate. Immortal Eternity felt as if his body was being torn apart from the inside; a massive force surged within him, threatening to explode out.
10 separate soul sections floated out, representing Immortal Eternity’s three souls and seven spirits.
The Imperial Teacher was very interested to see which part of the soul Immortal Eternity would choose to reform.
After three moments, the ten soul sections still floated in the air. And with that, the Imperial Teacher was entirely reassured: dividing the soul had been the correct choice – the opponent could not reform.
“Lunar True Fire!”
He aimed at one of Immortal Eternity’s three souls and began breaking them down one by one.
Suddenly, one of the soul sections opened an eye and Immortal Eternity’s voice echoed out.
“Why would I need to reform? Explode!”
The Imperial Teacher’s pupils constricted instantly, sensing danger. He had never heard of a Semi-Immortal risking their own soul by making one of their three souls self-destruct. It was suicidal.
The soul section exploded instantly, overturning the Imperial Teacher and throwing him down to the ground, his own soul also affected by the blast.
“Do you think it ends here?”
Another of the three souls exploded, stirring up a soul storm. The storm howled, black clouds filled the sky, and all senses ceased to function at that moment.
“Again!”
Boom ——
The third of the three souls exploded yet again.
Immortal Eternity’s cold voice echoed amidst the explosions of souls, “I, the head of the Eternity lineage, am amongst the Five Immortals of the Ancients. I’ve dominated past and present, unbeatable. Now that I’ve returned, I plan to ascend to the peak of the path to immortality. I am eager to see whether your Dao Fruit or mine is superior!”
“Damn it!” The Imperial Teacher hurriedly activated the Dao Fruit of Causality to sever their connection.
“Explode again!” Immortal Eternity’s voice came from one of his seven spirits, causing the Imperial Teacher to feel a chill down his spine.
He had already severed their causality; Immortal Eternity should not be able to remember him, yet why was he still attacking?
Before he could figure it out, a new wave of soul explosions arrived.
Boom —— Boom —— Boom ——
The seven spirits exploded one after another without any pause. The Imperial Teacher had never witnessed such a scene – his body was like a small boat caught in a tumultuous sea, prone to capsizing at any moment!
Immortal Eternity had anticipated this move long ago. Since no matter how he tried to leave clues, they would always be forgotten or erased, he decided not to leave any information about the Imperial Teacher at all.
Before the Imperial Teacher utilized the Dao Fruit of Causality, he left himself just one sentence —
Explode six of the seven spirits.
Three of his souls exploded three times, six of his seven spirits exploded, totalling nine soul storms that made the Imperial Teacher’s own soul unstable and caused him to feel dizzy.
“Huff, huff ——” The Imperial Teacher was in disarray. He wore Treasure Clothes, which could defend even against attacks at the Pass Tribulation Stage, but they were left tattered and lost their defensive capabilities after the nine rounds of explosions.
The Imperial Teacher glared fixedly at the last spirit. Now with only one left, he wondered what Immortal Eternity could possibly do.
Then, right before his eyes, he watched as Immortal Eternity reformed his three souls and seven spirits, returning to his peak state.
The Imperial Teacher was best at drawn-out battles. His usual tactic was to first make his opponent forget about him using the Dao Fruit of Causality, then launch a sneak attack. Even a Semi-Immortal could not endure this endless cycle.
What he didn’t know was that the Eternity Dao Fruit was the least afraid of drawn-out battles.
…
The black-and-white revered being looked at Yun Zhi and the others as if seeing dead people. “What use is it that you people are numerous? Once the Imperial Teacher makes his move, you are as good as dead!”
“The Imperial Teacher possesses a Dao Fruit and is a Semi-Immortal level powerhouse. If you let me go now, the Imperial Teacher might still spare your lives!”
His tone carried a hint of a threat: even in large numbers, those at the Pass Tribulation stage were nothing more than insignificant pests before a Dao Fruit!
