Chapter 677 I'm Invincible! Reuniting with the Candle Maiden: Old Secrets

According to previous estimates.

Once Wang Yu breaks through to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, his combat power will reach another peak, and ordinary beings at the weak Dao Integration realm will basically be no match for him.

As for beings who follow the orthodox path, unless they are like Hun Mu of the Soul Demon Clan, whose abilities are restrained by him, who have consumed too much energy, and who have been betrayed in a despicable way.

Otherwise, defeating them might not be difficult, but killing them... that would be extremely difficult. The higher the cultivation level of an existence, the fewer there are, and correspondingly, the more difficult they are to kill.

If not for being corrupted by the death principles of the Candle Maiden.

Hunmu likely has a trump card involving resurrection, but whether he can completely kill his opponent is something he himself is unsure of.

In the future, perhaps we can put more effort into the principles of killing and try to develop a cause-and-effect type of killing technique. Otherwise, the fact that these great cultivators are too good at surviving is also a problem.

Aside from various special factors, within the Demon Refining Domain alone, Wang Yu can say with certainty...

I'm practically invincible!

Having finished this phase of seclusion, he was no longer in a hurry to advance his cultivation; he still had a long time to settle down in the Demon Refining Domain.

Half a century has passed, enough time for the last incident to return to normal. It's time to contact the Candle Maiden and learn about the old system.

You can also visit Mozambique while you're there.

To find out if the alien spies are planning a counterattack.

And so it was.

After ending his seclusion, Wang Yu spent a few days in Holy Ring City, gathering the latest intelligence and discovering that the positions of the Ten Kings had changed again.

The Netherworld Blade Demon perished thirty years ago.

The vacant spot was taken by a Gu cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement stage named [Minglingzi], while the Brahma Demon King was defeated by [Chihaijun], and his seat was barely warmed before he was forced back to his original form.

Wang Yu, the adopted son, didn't know much about him. This Lord Chi Hai was a recent hot "professional" in the demonic path, a corpse cultivator, who had three peak sixth-order Heavenly Demon Corpses and nine mid-order sixth-order Evil Corpse Demon Generals under his command.

The twelve corpses together form the [Dutian Sha Shi Da Zhen] formation, which is incredibly powerful and is said to be able to reverse the Dao Integration stage. On the day of his ascension to the throne, he fought against ten enemies and defeated an old demon of the same realm, thus becoming famous in one fell swoop.

His fame is subtly higher than Wang Yu's.

These people seem to have appeared out of nowhere; it just goes to show that the Demon Refining Domain is full of hidden talents, and when the opportunity arises, all sorts of demons and monsters emerge.

After learning the latest situation, Wang Yu transformed into the Wrathful Demon Clan again.

According to Mosanchi, the latest movements of the alien spies can be summarized in one sentence: "They are lying in wait, waiting for the right moment."

To put it bluntly...

They've been intimidated and, until a new leader emerges, they're inclined to focus on intelligence gathering rather than stifling talent.

The shift from radicalism to conservatism is actually good news.

Wang, who considered himself invincible in the Demon Realm, became increasingly arrogant. He left the True Demon Token in the Demon Slaughtering Hall, then transformed into a blood-red sword light and vanished into the void.

Inside the new royal palace, which has been renamed the "Corpse Palace".

The newly enthroned Lord Chi Hai's eyes flickered, as if sensing Wang Yu's departure, and he murmured to himself.

"So you're the one chosen by the Demon Lord, cultivating the path of slaughter... It's a pity I can't test my skills against you."

This person clearly carries a special mission.

The path of corpses had only recently begun to take shape, and as a special genius with a certain corpse-path physique, Chi Haijun was the "test subject" for cultivating the path of corpse liberation to immortality.

The target was set long ago.

"Since there are ghost immortals in the world, and corpse liberation to achieve the Dao... it's not impossible to do so!"

…………

…………

In the underground of the Demon Refining Domain, in an unknown cave.

The Candle Maiden was leaning against a long couch formed from the Netherworld, seemingly comprehending some kind of realm. Suddenly, she opened her dark eye sockets, which contained no eyeballs but two eerie green flames.

A subtle hint of joy appeared on his cold, indifferent face.

He knelt on one knee, facing the void ahead.

"Little Divine Candle Maiden greets the Moon Lord!"

The next moment.

Wang Yu stepped out of the void, somewhat surprised by the other party's exceptional perception.

He already had a set of lines for obtaining information in his mind, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that pure deception was likely to cause problems, and he also knew nothing about the old secrets.

It's better to be nine parts truthful and one part false, and to offer genuine emotions.

This thought came to mind.

Wang Yu instantly transformed into an Oscar-winning actor.

"well……"

A long sigh, seemingly containing the passage of time and the helplessness in the face of fate, echoes from the ages, mixed with too many complex emotions.

certainly.

This is from the perspective of the Candle Maiden; Wang Yu merely sighs.

"Moon Lord, you have finally returned."

Seeing the expectation on the candle maiden's face, Wang Yu nodded and then shook his head.

"I am not him."

"Moon Lord, what do you mean by this?"

"Although there is reincarnation in the world, gods are not in it, let alone gods like you and me who are born from nature, we are just similar flowers."

The candle maiden became somewhat agitated.

"No, no, I can't be mistaken about your divine power of Taiyin."

Wang Yu immediately showed a look of pity.

“You call me Moon Lord, but I have no memory of Him. The Great Dao is ruthless; what is lost can never return. When I was born, the Taiyin was incomplete, leaving only my divine soul, which had no choice but to enter this mortal body.”

After saying this, Wang Yu's eyebrows revealed the Taiyin Divine Pattern.

There are only two.

In terms of combat power, it is only equivalent to an ordinary Void Refinement being, not even at the peak, but the characteristics of divine power are obviously more powerful than a simple primordial spirit.

He relied on quality, not quantity.

The candle maiden stared intently at the mark between his eyebrows, two lines of tears sliding down her cheeks, seemingly unable to accept Wang Yu's words.

But he quickly smiled and started talking to himself.

"Yes...you're right. The Moon Lord has passed away, and the Sun Lord has fallen into the Netherworld, transforming into the Black Sun of Fengdu, separated from us who are still alive by a pitiful, thick barrier."

Wang Yu's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.

But she kept all these old secrets in her heart, and the Candle Maiden continued talking to herself.

"Your birth may be related to the Taiyin Dao's inherent skill in nurturing souls. In the past, the Starry Sky God Clan was prosperous and powerful, ranking among the top three in the entire universe. They were favored by the Heavenly Dao and were born immortal, but..."

'The Moon contains the soul?'

Wang Yu realized that he actually possessed the greatest treasure. He didn't need to search for any treasures; as long as he activated the power of the Taiyin Yin Principles, he could complete the next stage of cultivation.

The divine fetus gives birth to the soul, and the spirit and flesh unite as one.

At that time.

His spirit is completely integrated into every cell of his body, which is equivalent to a backup of Wang Yu's personal information. Even if his soul is destroyed, he can be revived with a drop of ordinary blood, without needing any essence blood.

In contrast, the resurrection period will be relatively long.

The soul is reborn, and the body is reshaped.

All of these require energy and spiritual aids, and restoring one's cultivation level takes an extremely long time. This kind of immortality is merely a backup plan in dire situations, and is actually more suitable for use in actual combat.

It is extremely useful for healing injuries.

Especially when it comes to physical confrontation, the advantages it can exert far surpass those of one or two great supernatural powers.

The goal of body refinement is to break through to the seventh level, comparable to the Dao Integration stage.

After the unity of spirit and body, the process of cultivating the body of laws begins. He also has an advantage in this regard, namely the "Law of Power". The power of the Nine Dragons, the field of power, the control of power and other realms are all preparations for comprehending the ultimate power.

Just as artistic conception is a ticket to understanding the laws.

These prerequisite abilities are simply laying the foundation for the laws of entry-level power; it's a natural progression, and he doesn't need to worry about them too much.

However, Wang Yu has not yet released the Dao Integration Technique.

After the Undying Nether Dragon Technique was integrated into the Myriad Transformations True Demon Scripture, the Myriad Transformations became his foundation. The Fei Zhi bloodline and the Ice Phoenix bloodline could be extracted separately and used to cultivate his physical body.

All transformations are without form; they are free to transform themselves!

Cultivating the [Myriad Transformations True Demon Form] and condensing the corresponding Law Body is the direction; what is still lacking is time.

Therefore, the sedimentation he mentioned truly needs to be settled.

Wang Yu never expected to gain insight from the Candle Maiden's soliloquy. After pondering it for a moment, he stopped thinking about it and became very interested in the mystery of the past's hidden destruction that she spoke of.

A true Star God's body is one of the goals of his next stage of cultivation. He originally had no clue how to obtain it, but he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of a True Immortal making a wish to obtain it.

However, if we learn the truth about the mystery of the destruction from the Candle Maiden, we might be able to deduce the places where the Star Gods fell, find their remains, and obtain enough Star God essence blood to seize the Dao.

Think about it.

With the terrifying talent of an innate star god, it possesses three divine runes from the moment of its conception and birth, which is equivalent to having the combat power of the peak of the Void Refinement stage at birth.

Furthermore, due to the different systems, the Star Gods possess a unique talent for comprehending the laws of the Great Dao, which can be described as innate knowledge, although their application of it is only of average precision.

Use your Star God talent to cultivate the [Path of Spirit Refining to Immortality]!

It's equivalent to a Law-level comprehension cheat.

With the placement bar at his disposal, Wang Yu's efficiency would be nine times greater than expected, a feat he dared not even imagine.

Currently, it takes eighty years to comprehend 1%. If one were to cultivate with the body of a Star God, it would be very possible to achieve 1% in a year!

Specialize in one fundamental principle.

He will soon stand out and lay the foundation for his ascension to immortality. Compared to the advantages and benefits brought by the true spirit bloodline, it is on a completely different level.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu took the initiative to speak.

"Although the Moon Venerable you speak of and I are merely similar flowers, we do indeed originate from the same source. We are both beings born from the Great Dao of Taiyin. What exactly happened in that era?"

Upon hearing this, the candle maiden regained her senses slightly.

He gave a bitter laugh.

"What's the point of saying all this now? I'm trapped in the Demon Refining Domain by the human race, kept like a pet. Although you are not the Moon Lord, you have the talent of the Moon Lord. Perhaps you can find other gods and earth spirits and rebuild the divine court."

Wang Yu frowned slightly, then suddenly took a breath.

He said solemnly.

“Candle Maiden, the truth is very important to me. I want to know if the culprit behind the destruction of the Divine Court was a human.”

The latter understood Wang Yu's meaning after a moment's thought.

after all.

This is the Demon Refining Domain, outside is the Demon Cultivation Realm, and beyond that is the Vast Immortal Domain. No matter how you look at it, if you want to become stronger, you can't get around the mountain of the human race.

If they are enemies... then the identity of the Star God must not be revealed.

Thinking about this...

The Candle Maiden roused herself; after all, she held great respect and high expectations for this new Moon Lord.

Besides... how bad could the situation get?

It's better than having no hope at all!

"I see."

The candle maiden slowly began to speak.

"The destruction of the Divine Court is somewhat related to the human race, but they are not the murderers, but rather the last straw that broke the camel's back."

"Back then, a ferocious creature called the 'World-Destroying Worm' suddenly appeared in the cosmic sea. This locust-like creature was born without fear of any laws and possessed the talent to devour the laws of the Great Dao."

"Moreover, it possesses the [Corrosion Poison], which devours everything from the Star Lord and the Earth Mother Goddess to stubborn rocks and plants, sweeping across the entire universe and affecting the safety of all races."

"It is one of the three ancient calamities, which wiped out many top races, including the Divine Court. The Heavenly Destiny Star Lord once said that the Calamity Insect Swarm is the vanguard of an alien universe, coming from the other side of the Boundary Sea."

"In the past, all the stars were devoured, the Divine Court collapsed, all the gods perished, and the Dao Fruits were no more. The Ten Evil Emperors of the Primordial Era joined forces with the Immortal Kings of that time and paid a great price to destroy the scourge of insects that plagued the world."

"The vast Immortal Realm was once the central hub of the Divine Court. The remaining weak gods were just in time for the rise of the human race, which reignited the flames of war. They were eventually destroyed in the ancient times, and the exact date of their destruction is now unknown."

The Candle Maiden's words are thought-provoking.

The so-called Ten Primordial Ferocious Emperors refer to the kings among the ten strongest true spirits. Legend has it that they were conceived when the universe was first born and before chaos was created, and their strength is unimaginable.

They are now extinct, so the ancient times... are really a long time ago, and there is not much information recorded in ancient books.

As for the Celestial King, Wang Yu didn't know much about him either.

It's probably an ancient term for the True Immortal Realm. After all, the laws of this world and the laws of the ancient world are completely different, so it's normal for the names of realms to be different.

On the contrary, it was the Candle Maiden who knew so much.

His identity is very suspicious.

As for the possibility that the other party has survived from the Primordial Era to the present day, Wang Yu did not even consider it. Although the lifespan of innate gods is long, they are only at the early stage of the seventh rank, and are still a long way from immortality.

and.

The eternal life of a true immortal is not without its price. Immortality is an almost impossible state to achieve. The so-called lifespan of a true immortal being equal to that of heaven and earth is essentially just clinging to immortality.

It relies on obscuring the Great Dao, removing one's own destiny from the cosmic sea and heavenly Dao, so that no such person can be found, and naturally there is no way to determine your lifespan, thus indirectly achieving immortality.

However, every 129,600 years, the Heavenly Dao of the Universe Sea will "check the accounts" to see if anyone has "evaded taxes" or done anything against the rules.

Thus, the concept of the Fallen Immortal Tribulation came into being.

True immortals avoid the world, also to avoid calamity.

Severing ties with cause and effect and leaving the mortal world is actually the simplest way to avoid calamity. No one in the world knows you, so it's incredibly easy to deceive the heavens.

Thus achieving "true eternity".

However, this way of life will also encounter inner demons and tribulations. It is hard to say whether it is a punishment from the heavens or the cultivator himself who does not want to live. After all, living in complete isolation from the outside world is also a kind of punishment for immortality.

The intricacies involved are difficult to explain in just a few words.

so.

True immortals transcend the world, yet it is impossible for them to truly isolate themselves from it. Continuing to pursue higher realms becomes the only option, for the Great Dao is infinite and without end.

Everyone is still on the climb.

He pondered for a long time.

Wang Yu cautiously inquired, "Candle Maiden, how did you know these secrets?"

"Well……"

Seemingly stumped by Wang Yu's question, or perhaps because she had never thought of it before, the Candle Maiden shook her head in confusion.

"I don't know, but these secrets have been deeply engraved in my mind since I was born from the underworld. Perhaps my existence is just to record this information..."

Wang Yu's brows furrowed even deeper.

Have you ever seen any other existing deities?

"No."

"The place where the Star God fell?"

"I don't know either."

"..."

Besides sighing, Wang Yu also felt a bit helpless.
