Chapter 736 I am stronger than you now (Seeking monthly votes)
The "Hell Cleansing Soul Sutra" is a technique that can connect with reincarnation, awaken past wisdom, and recall memories of previous lives.
At this very moment, the Immortal Slayer True Lord was activating the "Hell Cleansing Soul Scripture" to awaken Zhang Yu's memories of his past lives, his previous lives, and the memories of reincarnation.
"Since you believe your choice is correct, then I will let you convince yourself today."
"Let your memories from all your past lives tell you, let you understand... how foolish and powerless the choices you are making now are."
As the Immortal Slayer spoke, his fingertips seemed to stir the cycle of heaven and earth, emitting a mysterious aura.
Just as the Immortal Slayer True Lord was circulating the "Hell Cleansing Soul Scripture," the God Lords in the Divine Transformation Battlefield also noticed that slight anomaly.
The Evil Lotus God said coldly, "This guy can also circulate the power of reincarnation!"
He vividly remembered the power of the "Hell Cleansing Soul Scripture," after all, not long ago the genius Fu Xian had used this move on the battlefield of Nascent Soul. As soon as he used it, his sea of consciousness was thrown into chaos, as if it had split into hundreds or thousands of people. It was only with great difficulty that he was able to recover slightly and temporarily suppress the split consciousness.
"Although the power stirred up by the Immortal Slayer is far less than that of the Immortal Subduing Heaven, its target is Zhang Yu alone."
"The two sides were roughly evenly matched at first, but if Zhang Yu's consciousness is disrupted, he will probably be at a complete disadvantage immediately..."
Lord Nielian understood that for a master like Zhanxian, any slight flaw would be seized upon and used to gain an advantage, not to mention the enormous disadvantage Zhang Yu was in after being affected by the power of reincarnation.
Just as many divine lords were observing this battle with solemn gazes, the Immortal Slayer True Lord pointed a finger at Zhang Yu, communicating with reincarnation through his thoughts, intending to summon his past life memories into Zhang Yu's body.
However, with the repeated operation of the "Reincarnation Soul Cleansing Scripture", even the Immortal Slayer True Monarch could only perceive a blank space.
"No?"
Why isn't it there?
"How could there not be?"
In the process of repeatedly communicating through reincarnation and locking onto Zhang Yu, the Immortal Slayer True Lord discovered that he could not find any trace of Zhang Yu's background or any memories of his past life.
"Zhang Yu didn't have a past life?"
Looking at Zhang Yu before him, the Immortal Slayer True Monarch's eyes were filled with surprise.
"This is your first life? How is that possible... In your first life, without any prior experience, you've already reached this point?"
The Immortal Slayer exhaled and said, "So that's how it is. It seems you are indeed exceptionally talented. No wonder my master took a liking to you and even entrusted you with such precious power."
He looked at Zhang Yu with a complicated expression and said slowly, "But what you are doing now is a waste of your talent and ability."
"Since you don't know how to use it, then let me use it."
As he spoke, the Immortal Slayer True Lord had once again activated the power of the Hell Cleansing Soul Scripture. However, this time, he was not trying to awaken Zhang Yu's past life memories, but rather to inject his own past memories into Zhang Yu's mind.
In an instant, accompanied by howling winds across the heavens and earth, the face of the Immortal Slayer True Monarch turned deathly pale. He felt as if his sea of consciousness was being crushed by a giant wheel, and amidst the violent tremors, he had the illusion that it was about to be torn apart.
The Immortal Slayer True Lord understood that this was the side effect of using the "Hell Cleansing Soul Scripture" to shake the power of reincarnation. Especially since he had not yet achieved the Nascent Soul stage and had not condensed his primordial spirit, this side effect caused even greater damage to his soul.
This is also one of the reasons why he would not easily use the "Hell Cleansing Soul Scripture". After all, such damage to the soul is fundamental. If it happens a few more times, not only will his own combat power decline severely, but he will also die soon and be unable to continue to carry out the plan.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu, who was being targeted by the Immortal Slayer True Monarch, shuddered. He felt countless memories surging out of his mind, constantly churning his self-awareness, worldview, and values...
"I……"
"I am……"
Zhang Yu suddenly clutched his head, and said with difficulty and pain, "I am Xiao Wuwang? No, no... I am Chen Qingfeng?"
At that moment, Zhang Yu suddenly remembered many things.
...
He remembered that in that previous life... in order to join one of the ten major sects, he and seven companions who had grown up and cultivated together fought each other to the death. In the end, he won a Pyrrhic victory, but was intercepted and killed by his master, who took his place and joined one of the ten major sects.
He remembered that in one of his past lives, in order to gain the opportunity to join one of the ten major sects, he went through one corporate war after another, but in the end he became a sacrifice of his sect and a stepping stone for his senior brother to join the sect.
In another life, he finally made a breakthrough in his research on immortality and had the opportunity to join a sect, only to have all his achievements taken away by his own mother...
He recalled his three consecutive failures, and how the difficulty of joining a sect was increasing and the competition was becoming more intense.
"But in the end I still... went in."
Recalling the scene after he entered the sect, Zhang Yu's face did not show a trace of a smile.
When he arrived at the sect, he had no housing, no household registration, and no formal sect identity. He was merely an unofficial staff member serving the sect disciples, with a mere ten-year term of service.
Within ten years, he would have to overcome countless difficulties and compete with countless strong opponents to have any chance of staying.
At the time, he thought that being expelled from the sect was the worst possible outcome.
But later I realized that if I could go back alive, wouldn't that be a kind of luck?
Having barely managed to stay, he could only maintain his cultivation, his memories, and his lifespan by maintaining his income...
If he has no job, no income, and no money, then he is not even human; he is nothing but a pile of rotten flesh.
However, the development of immortal cultivation techniques has led to fewer and fewer job opportunities, while competition has become more and more intense year by year.
In order to stay, he had to accept increasingly lower wages.
If income decreases, but cultivation level and lifespan cannot be reduced, then the only option is to reduce the storage cost of memories.
And so, without realizing it, his memories gradually faded.
He gradually forgot his childhood and his life before joining the sect.
His master, his parents, his family... joy, sorrow, and longing... all of these things slipped through his mind.
Gradually... he stopped remembering why he was working.
All he remembered was the work manual, the daily tasks, and the performance evaluation criteria; all he remembered was that he had to keep working, he had to keep working forever…
When he died again and was reincarnated, he couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw the label that read "Single-mindedly devoted to the Tao".
...
On the battlefield at this very moment.
The Immortal Slayer looked at Zhang Yu and said, word by word, "Do you understand? It should be easy to understand, right?"
"Just like the moment when we all witness the process of reincarnation, we immediately understand."
Zhang Yu opened his mouth, and at the same time, the voice of the Immortal Slayer True Lord came out: "We are like firewood, thrown into the great furnace of Kunxu again and again, to be burned as fuel."
"The people of Kunxu, from top to bottom, are beyond redemption; they are no longer human!"
Zhang Yu covered his head with one hand, feeling the chaotic and noisy voices in his mind, and said with difficulty, "They are human beings."
At this moment, Zhang Yu tried hard to recall his memories, recalling the figures of Bai Zhenzhen, Zhang Pianpian, Yu Xinghan, Ciji, Qingmu... one by one.
Zhang Yu gritted his teeth and said, "They can be changed by Kunxu, and they can be changed back..."
"Yes! It can be changed." The Immortal Slayer True Monarch said coldly, "The best way to change them, as you should already understand, is to kill them all and rebuild everything..."
Zhang Yu, clutching his increasingly throbbing head, said angrily, "Changing living people is what it means to change Kunxu!"
"Living people?" Immortal Slayer True Monarch: "I already said, they are no longer human, and there is no value in changing them."
Zhang Yu stared at the Immortal Slayer True Monarch: "What if you're still not satisfied after killing all of these people? Will you continue killing?"
"Otherwise what?" True Monarch Zhanxian said calmly, "If reincarnation has changed them, then use reincarnation to change them back. Kill until you are satisfied. That's what it means for the strongest to decide everything."
Zhang Yu looked at Zhanxian Zhenjun in disbelief: "Madman, what kind of bullshit new world is this? It's nothing but your own zoo."
The Immortal Slayer lowered his gaze, and countless calamities surrounded him, transforming into wave after wave of increasingly surging sword energy.
He said in a low voice, "Zhang Yu... it seems you don't truly understand the saying that the strongest decides everything."
"Your strength, your talent, everything... give it all to me, and I will use it more appropriately."
The next moment, the Immortal Slayer's face turned pale, and his soul was once again severely injured.
At the same time, another set of his past life memories was injected into Zhang Yu's sea of consciousness.
Double the Immortal Slayer True Monarch!
In an instant, Zhang Yu's eyes cleared, and he sighed, saying, "Zhang Yu, you've lost."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed his fingers like a sword and pointed one towards his brow.
But the next moment, he suddenly stopped, looking at his hand covered in animal hair, a sense of confusion welling up in his heart.
"I?"
At this moment, the Immortal Slayer realized that he was not controlling Zhang Yu's body, but the body of a giant ape.
"Zhang Yu...you..."
Before he could react, a series of beastly shadows attacked from all sides. Under the siege of 15 demonic beast clones, the giant ape whose body was occupied by the memories of the Immortal Slayer True Monarch was about to be completely suppressed in a short time.
Bang! The hands and feet of the Immortal-Slaying Giant Ape were pinned down by pairs of beast claws, and its huge head was pressed firmly to the ground by a dragon claw, making a loud bang.
"Slay the Immortal!" the fifteen demonic beast clones roared simultaneously. "Even if the strongest decides everything, on this battlefield, you are by no means the strongest!"
On the other side, the real Immortal Slayer True Monarch was even more shocked upon witnessing this scene: "A clone? The one who was just hit was his clone?"
"He's been using this giant ape clone, transforming into his true form, to fight me?"
"No, it definitely wasn't a clone from the beginning!"
"When was it changed? How come I didn't notice?"
At the same time, Zhang Yu, who was underground, suddenly burst out of the ground and arrived behind the Immortal Slayer True Monarch.
In an instant, space twisted violently, dragging the Immortal Slayer True Monarch toward Zhang Yu.
"Don't even think about it!" Immortal Slayer suddenly activated a spatial barrier, attempting to block the effect of "Kunlun in the Palm".
But in the next instant, Zhang Yu's palm suddenly grew larger, like a long-armed ape, carrying the power of a descendant of immortals, tearing through layers of spatial barriers, and grabbing the body of the Immortal Slayer True Monarch.
"Slay the Immortal!"
At this moment, Zhang Yu and Zhan Xian locked eyes, and intense fighting spirit erupted in their eyes simultaneously.
"I am stronger than you now!"
In the sky, streaks of purple lightning crackled and transformed into pillars of lightning that descended from the heavens, completely engulfing the two figures.
Zhan Xian tried to retreat violently, but Zhang Yu held him tightly, and they could only endure the bombardment of the natural disaster together.
"Zhang Yu!" With a roar, the Immortal Slayer had pushed the "Heaven and Earth as My Sword" to its limit, constantly transforming the power of natural disasters into his own sword energy, slashing towards Zhang Yu.
However, the intensity of the natural disaster had stopped increasing. On the contrary, Zhang Yu's adaptability was constantly improving under the attack of the Immortal Slayer True Monarch, and he seemed to be more and more at ease under the sky full of thunder.
In contrast, the power of the Immortal Slayer was being rapidly depleted. Each time he transformed the power of the natural disaster, he needed to consume a large amount of his magical power, energy, and mental strength.
This burden was even greater for him, especially after he used the "Hell Cleansing Scripture" twice in a row.
Amidst the crackling explosions, cracks gradually appeared on the body of the Immortal Slayer True Monarch under the continuous bombardment of lightning.
Amidst the fierce clashes of sword energy and lightning, the Immortal Slayer glared furiously at Zhang Yu and roared, "Why can't you understand? All you've done is meaningless! You can't change them, and you can't save anyone!"
Zhang Yu looked coldly at Zhanxian Zhenjun and said in a deep voice, "Zhanxian, in my hometown, I know there was once a true strongman. Even when the world was destroyed, even when millions of people became ghosts and zombies, even when everyone told him that these people were beyond saving and that things could not be changed, even when his former companions and comrades had given up, he did not give up until the last moment of his life."
Zhang Yu said, word by word, "This... is what it means to change the world."
The Immortal Slayer said angrily, "You stubborn fool, do you think you can defeat me with just your divine power network?"
The power of natural disasters continued to bombard down, seemingly determined to fight to the death until the two most powerful beings on this land were completely annihilated.
Under this earth-shattering and continuous attack, the flesh and blood of the Immortal Slayer True Monarch were constantly being bombarded by lightning, and the magical power within his body was becoming increasingly insufficient to resist this endless natural disaster.
But just as the Immortal Slayer's flesh and blood were about to be completely devoured by the lightning.
The thunderclouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and the ferocious natural disaster that had just occurred had been rapidly dissipated without anyone noticing.
At the same time, news of Zhang Pianpian kept surfacing in Zhang Yu's mind.
Zhang Pianpian: The evil gods appeased the divine power network
Zhang Pianpian: I'll hold them off for now.
In the spirit realm, Zhang Pianpian and the evil gods have already engaged in a fierce battle, and thanks to the strength of the Taiqing Realm, she has temporarily blocked the evil gods' interference in the battlefield.
But Zhang Yu knew that his sister couldn't hold them off indefinitely on her own; he had to defeat Zhan Xian as soon as possible...
With a thunderous thud, Zhang Yu unleashed a palm strike aimed directly at the heart of the Immortal Slayer True Monarch.
Covered in blood, the Immortal Slayer slashed out with his sword, colliding violently with Zhang Yu and unleashing a burst of immense energy.
"Slay the Immortal!" With another punch, Zhang Yu blasted Immortal Slaying True Monarch into a cloud of blood mist, and shouted, "You've lost!"
But at that moment, a series of powerful forces swept in.
As the natural disaster subsided, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Righteous Alliance once again stepped into the battlefield between the two.
Seeing this, the Immortal Slayer True Lord laughed and said, "Zhang Yu, you are the loser."
At the same time, the first True Lord to arrive at the scene roared, "True Lord! I'm here!"
The next moment, powerful forces acted on Zhang Yu, pulling him outwards.
As the half-dead Zhan Yun Zhenjun crawled forward, he excitedly shouted, "Don't attack him! Just use pure brute force to suppress him and trap him!"
Zhan Yun (Half-La) Zhenjun exclaimed excitedly, "I have seen through his weakness. No matter how strong his defense is, can he possibly defeat us in terms of strength by himself?"
"Without the protection of the natural disaster, all of us pressing down on him will ensure that he cannot move an inch."
With a soft thud, Zhang Yu felt as if mountains were pressing down on his back.
But he knew that it was not a mountain peak, but rather one Nascent Soul cultivator after another from the Righteous Alliance, who were pressing their power onto him.
The Great Master's gaze turned solemn. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed another burst of qi, which pressed down on Zhang Yu's shoulder.
At the same time, he urged, "Everyone, lend a hand! Don't let him move around anymore!"
boom!
As one Nascent Soul cultivator after another made their move, he felt as if one large hand after another was pressing down on him, trying to push him inch by inch toward the ground, to make him bend over, to make him kneel down, to make him crawl on the ground.
Amidst the resounding explosions, the ground beneath Zhang Yu's feet shattered under the force of the impact, creating a massive crater.
The Immortal Slayer was helped down. As he swallowed the pills, he coldly watched the scene: "Without the power of the natural disaster surrounding you, you are the weak one."
"All the efforts of the weak are meaningless; you can't change anything!"
At the same time, more and more Nascent Soul cultivators from the Righteous Alliance arrived.
Before Zhang Yu charged into the battle formation, the Righteous Alliance had already surrounded an area of over a hundred kilometers around the formation's core with hundreds of Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Although Zhang Yu later used the power of the natural disaster to defeat nearly a hundred Nascent Soul experts, he could not stop other Nascent Soul True Monarchs from spying outside the disaster's range.
As Zhang Yu and the Immortal Slayer True Monarch fought their great battle, many Nascent Soul cultivators from the Righteous Alliance focused their attention on this place. However, due to the continuous outbreak of natural disasters, they had to retreat far away.
Terrified by the terrifying power of natural disasters, they never dared to cross the line.
But as the natural disaster subsided, they all rushed up and together suppressed Zhang Yu.
With a deafening roar, the once radiant Heavenly Sun God was suppressed and shattered into several pieces by the combined efforts of several Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
The twelve Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords were also captured one by one and put into the hands of different True Lords.
The fifteen demonic beast clones fell to the ground one after another, each suppressed by a different power.
Within the spirit realm.
The God of Reports said coldly, "Demigod, this is not your territory. Get out of here immediately."
Zhang Pianpian said calmly, "Hehe, it's been a long time... a long time since an evil god dared to say such a thing to me."
Just then, the God of Reporting suddenly paused slightly, looked at his Book of Evil Gods, and was slightly surprised: "God of Fortune..."
In the center of the battlefield, watching Zhang Yu's waist bend inch by inch, watching Zhang Yu's knees gradually fall to the ground, the gaze of the Immortal Slayer True Lord, who was circulating his energy to recover, grew colder and colder, the breathing of the Great Master True Lord grew more and more rapid, and the gaze of the Half-Broken Cloud True Lord grew brighter and more and more excited.
At this moment, towering figures surrounded the heavens and earth, all their eyes fixed on Zhang Yu, as if they wanted to see this True Lord Zhuyi kneel down before them, surrender and admit defeat.
Just then, a series of whistling sounds rang out, and streaks of Void Flying Thunder, controlled by True Monarch Tian Sha and others, shot towards Zhang Yu.
The True Lord of the College said coldly, "Heavens! Are you still going to struggle in your death throes?"
"Stop him!"
"How did you miss it?"
"No, someone is interfering with our spirit world signals!"
Zhan Yun Zhenjun chuckled, "You missed, didn't you? What's the point of shooting at Zhang Yu?"
One after another, the flying lightning bolts from the void were blocked by the spatial barrier, but one of them, radiating a sharp sword intent, actually shattered the spatial barrier one after another, and finally shot towards Zhang Yu's chest.
But the next moment, as the outer shell of the Void Flying Thunder shattered, a graceful figure shot out from it and pounced towards Zhang Yu.
"Ah Zhen!"
Feeling Bai Zhenzhen hugging him tightly, Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback: "You've come..."
Bai Zhenzhen hugged Zhang Yu tightly, chuckled, and said, "I couldn't help you in the big battle with Wang Yin on the first floor, so you got all the limelight."
"This time, we'll do it together."
After saying that, Bai Zhenzhen tightly grasped Zhang Yu's hand, and her Nascent Soul realm magic power continuously poured into Zhang Yu's body.
At this moment, after undergoing arduous cultivation, Bai Zhenzhen has already stepped into the Nascent Soul realm.
At the same time, Fuki's voice echoed in Zhang Yu's mind: "Look at you, so impulsive without me by your side! Who told you to take such a big risk?"
The next moment, a tremendous sword aura erupted from Bai Zhenzhen's body and then poured into the sword in her hand.
The sword hummed softly, and the spirit of the Heavenly Sword within chuckled: "It's been a long time since I've felt such pure, extreme emotional sword energy... Alas, what a pity. If this Zhang Yu were dead, your sword energy would be even more useful, and you could bring out more of my wonders."
In the next instant, Bai Zhenzhen slashed upwards, and dazzling white sword energy surged out from the Love Heaven Sword, slicing through the heavy forces suppressing Zhang Yu.
Then, the sword energy continued to soar into the sky without mercy, filling the heavens and earth and spreading in all directions, as if it were endless and without end, like a surging torrent, turning the sea and sky upside down, startling everyone present into retreating.
Sensing a wisp of white sword energy approaching him, the previously nonchalant gaze of the Immortal Slayer suddenly sharpened, and he slightly turned his head to dodge the sword energy.
At the same time, he recalled some words his master had once said.
...
"Zhanxian, activate 'Heaven and Earth as My Sword,' take heaven and earth as your sword, and transform all the forces of wind, fire, earth, water, light, thunder, and lightning into your own sword energy."
"But there is only one thing, only that one thing... you may never be able to transform it."
Zhan Xian asked, puzzled, "What is it?"
Fu Xiantian sighed, “Something that you can hardly understand, believe, or comprehend.”
"That thing is called...emotion."
