Within the cosmic membrane, your twelve apostles and hundreds of powerful children engaged in a fierce battle against the Lord of the Underworld and His hundred-plus lackeys.
The thought that you almost became one of those lackeys tells you that you absolutely cannot let this Lord of the Underworld go.
[When a true immortal falls, the laws of the Dao collapse.]
[At dozens of locations where Dao principles were overflowing, even the lackeys still engaged in battle couldn't help but be distracted to try and comprehend a bit of it. They were then reprimanded by the Lord of the Netherworld, who told them not to waste their energy on this impending destruction of the universe; their priority now was to escape.]
The battle lasted three days and two nights. During this time, the Lord of the Underworld was constantly on the run. He vaguely realized that he had fallen into a trap, so he sent his loyal henchmen to take the blows for him, covering his retreat time and time again, until only he remained.
No, the Lord of the Underworld is not a single person.
It wasn't even a conventional living being, but rather a collection of emotions.
His true form is a mass of "spiritual energy," a kind of consciousness.
The last remaining Lord of the Netherworld is very difficult to kill. His Dao power of over 300,000 is comparable to one-tenth of your strongest apostle, and he has mastered more Dao principles than your twelve apostles and hundreds of children combined.
Those principles nearly caused your downfall several times, but fortunately, you always used your ability to foresee the future to guard against them, thus avoiding a complete reversal of fortune.
[Without your guidance, if those twelve apostles and their children had been sent alone to gang up on the Lord of the Underworld, there was a high probability that the Lord of the Underworld would have skillfully used various Dao principles to defeat them one by one after a long guerrilla war!]
[When fighting an enemy with abundant Dao principles, intelligence is extremely important. Although you don't know much about this ancient god, you can foresee every step He takes in the future, learn from your mistakes, and discover His true methods.]
"Although I now understand its principles and can avoid being ambushed, it's still too slippery. I can't defeat it in a normal battle, and it keeps escaping. The damage I inflict on it is even slower than its self-healing."
[If you're facing an enemy below the seventh realm, you can simply wear them down.]
[The Lord of Keyou is a true immortal, a ruler of the Spring and Autumn Period whose Dao power can be replenished from nothing and without limit!]
[True immortals have become true perpetual motion machines; the only difference lies in the level of their output power.]
[If you don't continue using other methods, the only way to defeat the Lord of the Netherworld is to drive Him out of the Source of Light and Dust.]
[Outside this universe, all the principles of the Light Dust Source Soup that He has comprehended will disperse, revealing His true form, the original fruit of the thirteen powers.]
"With less than 20% of the essence, there is only about one Kun Dao power."
[At that time, not only will His abilities be greatly diminished, but the gap between Him and you will also widen further, because your twelve apostles will still be more than eight hundred times more potent!]
Even if their original Dao Fruit only has one strand of power, it will still be increased to over eight hundred!
[But that would take too much time. To drive it out, to expel it from the cosmic membrane hundreds of millions of light-years away, who knows how many years that would take!]
Fortunately, after three days of continuous pursuit, your Return to Truth cooldown has been restored.
[So in a future scenario, you deliberately created an opening, allowing Him to get close, and thus eliminated His essence for the sixth time.]
The essence of things is something that becomes more and more absurd the more you try to reduce it. The change from the initial 100% to around 84% isn't significant; it's like comparing a person in a state of high energy to one that's somewhat tired.
[To put it more simply, it's like comparing an ordinary deer before and a berserk deer after seven rounds.]
"Oh, I see! I understand completely now."
Yun Shou nodded. Anyone who had passed the Berserk Deer test seven times could easily understand this sentence, including him.
"Surely no one can't understand the difference between these two, right? Surely not, right?"
However, after another reduction, its percentage has dropped from around 19% to less than 3%!
[It's dropped to one-sixth of what it was before!]
[John Deer has been utterly wiped out!]
This time, He is truly desperate. His methods were all foreseen and anticipated by you, and now there's even a chasm-like difference in their scale.
Another day has passed. The Lord of the Underworld has been subdued by your children. His power has finally been exhausted, and he has no strength left to resist.
[From the moment you approach Him, the combined power of your forces exceeds one hundred million, and a single strike crashes down.]
[Within the cosmic membrane, you face significant limitations. For example, although you can unleash hundreds of millions of Dao power through a descent, you still cannot exceed the speed of light and would be easily left behind by a weakling with only 1 Dao power.]
[You can also be deceived by true immortals who are proficient in concealing the Dao. Against someone with the Dao of Immortality, killing them tens of thousands of times will have extremely poor results.]
[But now, the Lord of the Netherworld has had his Dao source exhausted, like a fish on a chopping board, its strings pulled out, its tendons removed, and it wrapped in layers of tape, a fish waiting to be slaughtered with no power to resist!]
"Oh, a new unit has appeared, Dao Source, is that the name of the power within the Seven Realms?"
There's even a knife right on top of the fish; you just press a button and the knife falls down, so you don't have to worry about it accidentally slipping out of your hand and hurting yourself!
You only need to quietly unleash your power, and it will shatter.
Even if He is reborn later, His Dao Source within Him is almost depleted. Although your attack was not a targeted attack and caused negligible damage to His Dao Source... it is still enough to send Him sliding into the abyss.
"His current Dao Source, converted into resurrection points for body reconstruction, has approximately 245 lives remaining. His Dao Source naturally regenerates every second, enough to replenish 5 lives. Therefore, I need to pulverize him six or more times per second to defeat him."
You have repeatedly crushed the Lord of the Underworld.
[If the Dao principles are targeted, a single attack can eliminate thousands, even tens of thousands of his lives; the higher his Dao power, the more lives he can take.]
[But your basic attack just doesn't work. No matter how powerful it is, once it exceeds a certain value, the effect is always the same, and the damage is extremely inefficient.]
You have gradually driven the Lord of the Underworld into a corner.
With only a few lives left, the Lord of the Underworld glared at you resentfully before vanishing.
Then you snapped your fingers.
[With their numerous offspring joining forces, they locked onto a location half a light-year away, unleashing countless "Taoist techniques" to seal off the space and simultaneously force out a figure.]
The shadowy figure emerged, filled with resentment: "Why! Why were you able to detect my presence!?"
