Chapter 512: Chapter 255: Divine Self-Fusion, Usurpation, Core Sequence!
"Decide life and death? Are you even worthy?!"
Feng Xiu’s face revealed a trace of disdain. In an instant, the sea of flames, under Feng Xiu’s command, transformed into raging fire dragons, suddenly attacking Wu Tianyou.
The terrifying power mercilessly unleashed upon Wu Tianyou.
At that moment, Wu Tianyou unleashed his fourth-tier cultivation, with a peculiar glow flickering in the third eye on his forehead.
Rumble!!!
With the explosive sounds echoing, the two had already engaged in fierce battle.
However...
Even though Wu Tianyou had stepped into the fourth tier, he had only just entered the initial stage of it.
As a core disciple of Inference God Dao, Feng Xiu had already reached the late stage of the fourth tier long ago, and after such extensive cultivation, he was no ordinary late-stage fourth-tier cultivator to be reckoned with.
In just a few breaths, Wu Tianyou was relentlessly pushed back under Feng Xiu’s assault.
The flesh on his body, under the scorching flames, was completely decimated, emitting a charred stink.
"What are you? You dare to challenge me?"
"In the last mission, you even managed to survive. It seems your life is quite stubborn, but I’m sorry, I love killing those with stubborn lives the most!"
Feng Xiu’s expression became extremely ferocious, with an overwhelming killing intent emanating from his entire being.
The flames continued to sweep, while Wu Tianyou, under Feng Xiu’s slaughter, had no opportunity to speak, only being forced to retreat.
Bang!
Another dull explosion sounded, and Wu Tianyou’s body heavily fell at the edge of the arena. His body no longer bore any intact flesh.
The whole person seemed to become a scorched corpse, with only the slightly trembling eyeballs signaling that Wu Tianyou was still alive.
At this moment, Wu Tianyou’s eyes seemed a bit dazed.
"Still... can’t do it?"
Wu Tianyou softly spoke, and a trace of unwillingness silently emerged in his eyes.
He slowly closed his eyes, letting his consciousness connect to the world of Lu Sheng.
At this moment, he saw clearly.
He clearly saw Lu Sheng’s figure in this world.
On the Celestial Brilliance Star, Lu Sheng slowly stood up. As Lu Sheng moved, the entire Celestial Brilliance Star, including the three Life Planets orbiting it, trembled slightly.
As if responding to their ruler.
"Can... you help me?"
Wu Tianyou looked at Lu Sheng, softly speaking, his expression incredibly calm.
Lu Sheng was just as calm, looking at Wu Tianyou calmly, finally saying softly, "Have you decided? Are you willing to pay any price?"
The relationship between Lu Sheng and Wu Tianyou was fundamentally a fair transaction.
Wu Tianyou slowly closed his eyes, and scenes from his childhood played out in his mind like an old movie, one after another.
The brutal scenes continuously stirred Wu Tianyou’s heartstrings.
Finally, Wu Tianyou took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes, which now held an unprecedented determination.
"I’ve decided!"
As Wu Tianyou’s voice fell, in the entire illusory world, waves of blood-red tides surged up, covering the sky and earth.
Eventually, it swallowed Wu Tianyou’s figure, swallowed Lu Sheng, and devoured this world.
With the subsidence of the tides, between them... they had already unified into one.
...
At this moment, in the outside world.
Feng Xiu looked at Wu Tianyou lying at the edge of the arena. He could keenly sense that the life force in Wu Tianyou’s body was dissipating bit by bit over time.
He didn’t even need to act, and in a while, Wu Tianyou would die on his own.
"To die just like this, it’s rather too easy for you!"
Feng Xiu spoke indifferently as he slowly walked toward Wu Tianyou’s body, with scorching flames continuously burning on his palm.
At this moment, Lu Sheng’s consciousness had fully entered Wu Tianyou’s body.
Wu Tianyou’s consciousness dissipated, now replaced by Lu Sheng.
However, even though Lu Sheng’s consciousness entered Wu Tianyou’s body, Lu Sheng’s essence of life did not integrate into Wu Tianyou’s flesh.
After all, Lu Sheng’s avatar was merely Wu Tianyou’s third eye.
As long as Lu Sheng wishes, he can break free from Wu Tianyou’s body at any time. For now, leveraging the connection between his avatar and Wu Tianyou, Lu Sheng began to control Wu Tianyou’s body bit by bit, just like when he controlled the Giant Divine Soldier.
"This feeling... is somewhat familiar!"
Lu Sheng smiled faintly. Since the Seal of Brilliance was broken, Lu Sheng hadn’t piloted the Giant Divine Soldier in a long time. Now controlling Wu Tianyou’s body felt just like before.
"Through the avatar, controlling Wu Tianyou’s body unexpectedly weakens this world’s suppression on me!"
As Lu Sheng gradually familiarized himself with Wu Tianyou’s body, he could keenly sense that the rejection from the consciousness of this world was no longer as intense.
"In this way, I can use Wu Tianyou’s body to move around in this world, which will reduce a lot of trouble."
Lu Sheng spoke softly.
"It’s just a pity that Wu Tianyou’s body is ultimately too weak to wield my full strength. However, even so..."
At this moment, Lu Sheng’s consciousness fully immersed into Wu Tianyou’s body, and he abruptly opened those tightly shut eyes.
"Not even a mere late stage Fourth Rank can threaten me!"
Rumble!!!
In an instant, boundless power suddenly roared out from Wu Tianyou’s body, and under the cover of the blood-red brilliance, instantly healed the severely injured flesh.
Feng Xiu, who was approaching Wu Tianyou, was also startled by this sudden surge of power, instantly pulling back to maintain distance.
"This guy..."
Feng Xiu looked warily at Wu Tianyou, who was standing up again, a sudden unease rising within his heart.
Lu Sheng controlled Wu Tianyou’s body to slowly look at Feng Xiu.
That indifferent expression made Feng Xiu shiver, as if he was facing the very deity he was connected to.
It was precisely this gaze that involuntarily brought a trace of dread to Feng Xiu’s heart.
"Impossible! How could this guy suddenly regain his strength? What on earth is going on!"
Feng Xiu watched Lu Sheng, whose body was continuously healing, his pupils constricting.
The next moment, a ruthless look appeared on Feng Xiu’s face, and he immediately controlled the flames, rushing towards Lu Sheng.
"Pretending to be divine, today is your death day!"
Feng Xiu roared, unleashing a powerful onslaught towards Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng calmly watched Feng Xiu’s charging momentum. This seemingly fierce attack was full of flaws in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
After briefly assessing his current limits, Lu Sheng slightly raised an eyebrow.
"After all, it’s not a real person; the power has decreased a bit. However... the Three-Eye Celestial Dao in this world requires communicating with the deity in the third eye, and I, using Wu Tianyou’s body, am that deity myself."
"There’s no need for any cost at all."
"Under such circumstances... even if I can’t exert all my power, dealing with a mere Fourth Rank is more than enough."
Lu Sheng spoke softly, and the True Intent of Life and Death gradually began to spread. As soon as Feng Xiu’s figure entered Lu Sheng’s attack range.
Lu Sheng gently raised his palm, pressing down lightly on the void.
"Subdue!"
In an instant, the True Intent of Life and Death erupted, transforming into an extremely terrifying force that instantly descended upon Feng Xiu.
Bam!!
On the arena, a muffled sound exploded, and the spectators around could only see Feng Xiu’s body instantly explode into pieces, flying in all directions.
Immediately, on the arena, only the lone figure of Wu Tianyou was left standing.
"Succeeded? Wu Tianyou... actually killed Feng Xiu!!"
One by one, the disciples of the Inference God Dao, even those at the elder level, could not help but have their pupils shrink at this scene.
Although Wu Tianyou’s sudden recovery from all injuries was somewhat strange, within the Three-Eye Celestial Dao, there were methods to utilize the power of the god in the third eye, fully capable of achieving this.
So, these people did not feel anything was out of place.
With Feng Xiu dead at Lu Sheng’s hands on the Inference God Arena, a low voice once again resounded from the sky.
"Outer Sect Disciple Wu Tianyou, having defeated Core Disciple Feng Xiu, from today onwards, is ranked among the Core Disciples of Inference God Dao, sequence... tenth!"
In the Inference God Arena, successfully challenging meant replacing the previous core disciple’s identity and status in every way.
As for life and death...
Just as Wu Tianyou previously said, on this Inference God Arena, it not only distinguishes strength but also determines life and death!
This is one of the rules of the Inference God Dao!
Lu Sheng stood on the arena, quietly looking at the sky, before slowly retracting his gaze.
"Core disciple, huh? The status and position have risen, providing access to more of this world’s cultivation technique secrets!"
Lu Sheng smiled slightly.
"Not too bad a harvest."
Lu Sheng spoke softly, and as he stepped off the arena, he muttered to himself, yet it seemed as though he was speaking to the already deceased Wu Tianyou.
"Rest assured, your revenge... I’ve avenged it for you!"
As this voice faded, Lu Sheng faintly sensed that his control over Wu Tianyou’s body seemed to deepen significantly.
The obsession left in this body also completely dissipated with Lu Sheng’s words.
Lu Sheng smiled slightly, then slowly left the Inference God Arena, heading towards the library of the Inference God Dao.
To truly understand this world, to understand the Three-Eye Celestial Dao, naturally, the library of the Inference God Dao is a place not to be missed.
