Vol 7 Chapter 36: When the Snipe and the Clam Fight
"These things that the incarnation and the others are researching are truly extraordinary."
Lin Jing wore the remote communication device given by the chanized Turtle and murmured to himself, discovering that even though the chanized Turtle had entered the ruins, he could still maintain contact with it!
Incredible.
Cultivators commonly had two thods for remote communication.
The first was through magical treasures and other diums to conduct long-distance ssaging.
These communication treasures were generally forged together, possessing strong resonance between them, thus enabling remote communication.
The second thod was through divine consciousness for remote exchange.
Generally speaking, pure divine consciousness had a range determined by spiritual awareness, and the distance for mutual communication wasn't particularly far.
But so cultivation thods could enhance this range.
For example, the Beast Taming Art actually had the function of strengthening this aspect.
If a Beast Taming Cultivator signed a contract with a pet beast, then through the contract's enhancent of divine consciousness, the beast tar and pet beast could maintain so contact even across greater distances.
However, whether using magical treasures or divine consciousness, generally when cultivators were located in relatively independent alternate spaces, communication would still be blocked.
In a minority of cases, this was due to limitations of the treasures and spiritual awareness, but in most situations, it was because these two communication thods were too common, leading many places such as sects, ruins, and secret realms to have arrays that blocked such communications.
Clearly, this Creation Immortal King's ruins also contained arrays that blocked internal and external communication.
However, the remote communication device brought by the chanized Turtle, being a new thing that hadn't appeared in the Immortal Realm and not composed of traditional immortal spiritual energy like divine consciousness, seed to exploit a loophole in the ruins' arrays, allowing the chanized Turtle and Lin Jing to maintain contact despite being in different spaces.
Inside the ruins, the chanized Turtle moved stealthily.
Compared to it, the One-Eyed King was much bolder, ignoring the restrictions and obstacles within the ruins all the way, forcing his way through directly, violently breaking through barriers and realms.
As fellow Immortal King realm cultivators, even if the Creation Immortal King might have been much stronger, the Creation Immortal King had already fallen, and just relying on ruins left behind by him couldn't stop him!
"The more troubleso obstacles in these ruins have been resolved by the 'World Suppressing Talisman' bestowed by the Ancestor. Now, let see if the intelligence is true." Mo Yuan's eyes flashed as he continued deeper. Soon, a spiritual entity blocked his path.
This was a majestic dao shadow, surrounded by swirling creation energy. Unsurprisingly, it was the Creation Immortal King's remnant will, the spirit of the ruins.
"Creation Immortal King!" Seeing this shadow, Mo Yuan licked his lips, red light glowing in his single eye.
"Junior of the Demonic Race." The Creation Immortal King's will also sighed and said, "Although I don't know what ans you used to force your way in without causing the ruins to collapse, you should understand that continuing like this won't benefit either of us."
The Creation Immortal King had modified the ruins so that if a top-tier Immortal King expert forced their way in, the ruins would collapse, and the inheritance inside would appear in so more hidden ruins he had constructed.
From then on, there would be an additional condition for receiving the inheritance: killing the previous intruder.
"Race traitor, this king gives you an opportunity!"
Race traitor? The chanized Turtle hiding in the hidden space narrowed its eyes.
"How does he know?" The Creation Immortal King showed a surprised expression.
Very few people knew that he was actually a Demonic Race cultivator who had accidentally perford soul usurpation on a Creation Immortal Physique. At that ti, the Demon Lord hadn't yet proven his path to Immortal Emperor, the Demonic Race was weak, caught in the fiery depths of racial warfare. He directly stripped away his Demonic Race bloodline and continued living with the identity of the Creation Immortal Physique, disregarding the survival of his race.
Unfortunately, despite a lifeti of effort, he still failed to break through to Immortal Emperor, resulting in his death.
"Not only that, this king also knows that your inheritance ruins are a trap. Before your death, you made thorough preparations, using your final creation energy to enlighten a sentient Emperor-grade immortal herb, reviving and evolving the Demonic Race bloodline essence you stripped away early on, located within your own Dao Fruit, gathering an opportunity for soul usurpation, preparing to seize a successor's body and live a second life, right?" Mo Yuan sneered.
"But unfortunately, you thought too highly of yourself. Becoming an emperor was your obsession, so you were extrely strict in selecting targets for soul usurpation. Those cultivators who needed shortcuts even to break through to Immortal King couldn't catch your eye at all. Even if you perford soul usurpation, aside from barely surviving, it would be aningless. You were waiting for a new vessel that, after soul usurpation, had hope of achieving Immortal Emperor."
The Creation Immortal King remained silent, just quietly watching Mo Yuan.
"I heard that the reason you could reach the step of contending for emperor despite relying on a usurped body was because you obtained recognition from a certain era's Heaven's Mandate, becoming a Mandated One. Although your Heaven's Mandate was eventually taken away, it cannot be denied that senior's Personal Fortune was unparalleled among our Demonic Race."
"I ca here this ti precisely to take senior's not yet completely dissipated Heaven's Mandate fortune, making preparations in advance for the upcoming arrival of the Heaven's Mandate." After Mo Yuan finished speaking, the Creation Immortal King also revealed cold light in his eyes.
He didn't know how this junior learned about these matters that should have been forgotten in history, but clearly, today either he would scatter or the other would die!
"World Suppressing Talisman."
Mo Yuan activated a World Suppressing Talisman, making the ruins even more impregnable. Even the Creation Immortal King's will found it sowhat difficult to control the ruins he himself had created.
"Usurping Heavenly Demon Art." The next mont, the One-Eyed King transford into a Heavenly Demon, fiercely battling the Creation Immortal King's will, attempting to devour the other's Heaven's Mandate fortune.
"Haha, as expected of my demon clan descendant, interesting. Your body isn't the best choice, but since things have co to this, I'll accept it." The Creation Immortal King was no pushover either, planning to directly perform soul usurpation on Mo Yuan.
In an instant, the One-Eyed King Mo Yuan's body beca a battlefield where the two contended for Personal Fortune and the vessel.
At this ti, neither of them noticed that in a corner of the ruins, there was still a chanized Turtle exclaiming how thrilling this was.
So, the Creation Immortal King's forr identity was actually also of the Demonic Race. So, the One-Eyed King's purpose wasn't the fortune of those prodigies outside, nor was it the Creation Immortal King's creation inheritance, but rather... the supre Personal Fortune that enabled him to obtain the Heaven's Mandate and achieve Quasi-Emperor status even with a usurped body.
"Damn." The chanized Turtle was just about to tell Lin Jing when it discovered that with the World Suppressing Talisman activated, its technological communication thods could no longer maintain contact with Lin Jing outside. It couldn't help but beco like an ant on a hot pan, quickly analyzing the World Suppressing Talisman, attempting to get out.
However, the chanized Turtle suspected this thing was made using the power of the Heavenly Dao's Supre Treasure. It racked its brains, using its computing power to the limit, but still analyzed extrely slowly. Most importantly, it didn't dare to make too much commotion, fearing it would attract the other's attention. This way, it didn't know how much ti it would take.
"Fine, fine, fine." Seeing that it couldn't get out and these two were becoming increasingly intense, the chanized Turtle also felt wicked thoughts rising from its courage.
The Creation Immortal King wanted to perform soul usurpation on the One-Eyed King, while the One-Eyed King wanted to devour the other's Personal Fortune. While the two were contending with each other, it was when they were most vulnerable. This opportunity was rare. If I wait for the master to make a decision, the Dragon Carp's Fla Emperor Divine Ability will have cooled off.
"When snipe and clam fight... if the master doesn't have this opportunity, then I'll just pluck the other's Dao Fruit and beco an immortal turtle."
The master carries heavy karma;
contacting the Demonic Race could easily expose him. But I'm different;
with a chanical body, it's difficult to be tainted by karma. After succeeding, imdiately hide in the Immortal Emperor's ruins—even gods and ghosts couldn't detect it! If I beco an Immortal King, it's no different from the master becoming an Immortal King!"
The chanized Turtle was stunned. Could it be that it was going to... beco the village's first Immortal King?!
