Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

Although the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws has temporarily reshaped his dharma body and has assistance from the Tier Three magical treasure Floating Light Fan and several Middle Tier Three magical treasures, he holds a certain advantage over Ning Sujin’s nascent soul spirit body.

However, the enemy’s attack that harms both sides like losing eight hundred to gain a thousand leaves him cautious and hesitant.

His dharma body has already fallen, and the nascent soul is his sole hope on his path of cultivation. If he were to suffer again, his path would truly come to an end.

Therefore, he tries his utmost to avoid any situation that might harm his nascent soul.

This, however, makes Ning Sujin appear extremely brave.

However, she finds it difficult to completely eliminate the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws.

Moreover, her attacks consume an enormous amount of energy, and over time, there is concern that while the True Monarch’s temporary dharma body still stands, Ning Sujin’s primordial spirit will be the first to wither.

If Ning Sujin loses the ability to restrain the True Monarch, it would only be a matter of time before the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws breaks through Xiaoqiao’s array with ease.

”Puh~” Just dodging several Divine Soul Slashes from Ning Sujin, a Soul Stab suddenly struck from the ground, hitting at a very precise moment.

This blow hit squarely, causing the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws’ nascent soul to tremble sharply, with the spirit body dimming a bit.

”The little thief possesses such a powerful divine soul!” Once confirmed that it was Li Ji’an’s sneak attack, the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws was even more shocked.

The secrets on Li Ji’an seem like a bottomless pit, even exceeding his expectations.

He considered eliminating Li Ji’an first, but the fellow hides in Gugu’s boundless mouth.

The independent space within Gugu’s mouth was known to him for many years, and Gugu’s invisibility abilities made it impossible for his primordial spirit to accurately locate.

Therefore, even though he had been gathering power in his temporary nascent soul dharma body for a long time and was ready to unleash the Floating Light Fan with full force, he still could not land a fatal blow.

With Li Ji’an’s underground ambush, the pressure on the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws increased greatly.

Although Li Ji’an’s divine soul attacks are not as potent as Ning Sujin’s, they can still inflict harm on his nascent soul spirit body, forcing him to defend against the attacks of both.

A moment later, the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws already bore many wounds, with the nascent soul spirit body beginning to waver unstably.

”Little thief, I swear to kill you!” After being struck in the sea of consciousness by Li Ji’an’s Soul Stab once again, the True Monarch’s nascent soul spirit body dimmed, indicating he could soon no longer maintain his temporary dharma body.

Once his nascent soul dharma body collapsed, Ning Sujin alone could finish him off.

”Hmph!” In an instant, the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws made a decision.

He chose to dedicate the already extremely thin nascent soul spirit body entirely to his dharma body.

Thus, the dharma body could gain a twenty percent increase in power once more, but it left his nascent soul spirit body with only a single thread of essence remaining, devoid of the might of a nascent soul and primordial spirit. Even if he escaped today, recovery would not be possible within a century.

”Good!” Li Ji’an was overjoyed to see this.

His greatest fear was the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws choosing to perish together, self-detonating his nascent soul.

But now that the other side had made this choice, the possibility of self-detonation was eliminated.

”Begone!” As the temporary dharma body swelled, the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws struck a palm towards Ning Sujin.

Ning Sujin, already boiling with battle intent, showed no fear, forming a Primordial Spirit Shield to take the strike head-on.

Nonetheless, she was ultimately somewhat lacking, being sent flying with a single palm, her primordial spirit surging chaotically.

Seizing the chance, Li Ji’an launched a Soul Stab, but the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws, having now completely dedicated his nascent soul spirit body to the dharma body, was almost entirely immune to primordial spirit attacks, easily withstanding the blow.

”Hmph! You reap what you sow.” After repelling Ning Sujin, the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws looked sharply downward, his voice filled with anger.

In the next moment, he stomped violently.

The nascent soul-level magical power instantly blasted the ground beneath him, revealing a giant pit several zhang deep.

Gugu’s greenish body was immediately exposed to view.

”Still trying to escape?” Attempting to burrow deeper, Gugu found itself blocked by an invisible magical barrier.

At the same time, a nascent soul’s pressure enveloped him, rendering Gugu unable to move an inch.

Following that, a giant hand, vast enough to cover the sky, descended from the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws.

”Gugu!” As the ground shattered, Xiaoqiao, who was merged with the Earth Spirit, was startled awake, promptly assessing the situation and seeing the approach of a nascent soul’s devastating strike, she became alarmed.

Though Gugu had ascended to a Third Grade Golden Core Great Demon, making it formidable even against human True Core Cultivators, it could not contend with a Nascent Soul True Monarch, especially since the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws’ temporary dharma body was only at thirty percent of its peak power.

Furthermore, Gugu’s divine ability lies in invisibility and breath concealment, neither physical strength nor demon sense are its strong suits.

The True Monarch’s strike promised certain death for Gugu.

Disregarding maintaining the array, Xiaoqiao immediately summoned the Earth Spirit to protect Gugu.

”Bang!” In the next moment, the True Monarch’s palm struck down, clashing with the Earth Shield summoned by Xiaoqiao. The Earth Shield, only lasting for three breaths, shattered, the scene akin to a landslide.

With the Earth Shield’s obstruction, Gugu managed to break free from the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws’ oppressive bind at the last moment, dodging the residual impact of the nascent soul’s attack by several feet.

Concurrently, as Xiaoqiao directed all of the Earth Spirit to protect Gugu, the True Monarch’s strike caused the Five-Yang Soul Suppression Array to instantly develop cracks, unable to be promptly repaired.

The True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws seized the opportunity, striking the sky with another palm.

Rumble~

The Soul-Extinguishing Array collapsed instantly, turning to nothing.

”Hahaha~ Ignorant juniors dare to challenge the nascent soul’s might? The power of a Nascent Soul True Monarch is beyond your comprehension.” The True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws laughed heartily.

With the Soul-Extinguishing Array’s restraint gone, his nascent soul’s escape speed was free, unhindered by anyone.

Li Ji’an, observing from within Gugu’s boundless mouth, slightly frowned at the scene.

The invisibility puppet by his side gradually relaxed as well.
