Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect
Chapter 69: Great Completion of the Sacred Body

Within the Secret Realm of Law Refinement.

Lü Yang's true body remained unharmed, sitting calmly in his cave dwelling.

As for Ji Xiongying's dying curses, he paid them no mind; at this moment, his heart was filled with joy.

"Saint Thief has succeeded!"

Lü Yang stood up, looking up at the sky.

What he saw was a river of purple qi, the fate energy gathered from 140 million living beings within the entire secret realm!

The fate energy of the martial path!

At this moment, Lü Yang bathed in this fate energy.

The radiant purple qi poured down, making him feel as if he had become the center of heaven and earth.

Simultaneously, within the Secret Realm of Law Refinement, all 140 million beings, from mortals to celestial beings, felt something in their hearts.

Each looked up at the sky, vaguely seeing a grand golden figure rising from the ground, solemn and majestic, lifted slowly upward by the rolling red dust.

"Law endowment upon the body, Sacred Body achieved!"

Lü Yang opened his eyes, once again feeling the Dao charm akin to 'ascension' that he had only sensed before in great divine abilities and Foundation Establishment True Persons.

His 'height' was rising!

The boundless fate energy was entirely absorbed by Lü Yang, leaving not a trace.

This fate energy slowly constructed an extremely complex ritual within his body.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Lü Yang suddenly looked up at the sky.

Meanwhile, in Tianjing City, as Lü Yang shattered the void and Ji Xiongying followed closely, the face of the Yun Clan Ancestor suddenly showed shock and anger.

"Not good!"

Only now did he understand Lü Yang's scheme.

He had fabricated a realm above the celestial being level called 'shattering the void,' with himself as proof.

Now, with Ji Xiongying as additional evidence, the world would firmly believe this path was viable, and many would follow suit!

The entire system was seamless!

Even the fourth step of the martial path he pioneered was perfectly encompassed, not hindering Lü Yang's cultivation but instead enhancing its power!

Because relying solely on Lü Yang, the martial path would at most reach the late stage of Qi Refining.

But with the Yun Clan Ancestor's help, the martial path's limit astonishingly reached the perfection of Qi Refining.

Therefore, the fate energy feedback from the Saint Thief would be immense!

Yet now, even he couldn't break the martial path system.

Because theoretically, a martial celestial being comparable to the perfection of Qi Refining was a dead end.

This applied not only to Lü Yang but also to himself!

And the 'shattering the void' realm had no flaws he could find.

After all, once someone shattered the void, they vanished.

With no evidence, it's always a matter of one side's word against another's.

How could he find a flaw?

To break this predicament, unless he could create a method different from 'shattering the void' that allowed the martial path to truly break through Foundation Establishment.

But before his reincarnation, he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, with limited ability.

How could he create a method enabling the martial path to break through Foundation Establishment?

Perhaps a Golden Core True Lord could!

Otherwise, he would have to kill all who witnessed Lü Yang shatter the void.

But what would that achieve?

It would only expose his existence unnecessarily.

In other words, Lü Yang's momentum in cultivating the 'Saint Thief' was now unstoppable!

"Damned! Damned!"

Thinking of this, the Yun Clan Ancestor was so angry he could grind his teeth to dust.

He never imagined his plans would fail, even aiding the enemy!

After painstakingly manipulating cause and effect, he ended up making a wedding dress for someone else?

He couldn't accept it!

Thinking of this, the Yun Clan Ancestor gnashed his teeth, full of unwillingness.

Then, he once again manipulated cause and effect, attempting a final effort.

The Yun Clan Ancestor activated the 'Heaven Inquiry Instrument' to enhance his influence over cause and effect.

"The Saint Thief is destined to face a calamity, which was originally mine. But if I strip it away and use a substitution method, replacing human tribulation with heavenly tribulation, I can invoke the power of heaven and earth to kill him!"

"Stealing the fate energy of all under heaven, an act against the heavens, must be punished by heaven!"

With a roar from the Yun Clan Ancestor, suddenly, above Lü Yang's secluded place, the previously clear sky turned dark with clouds, lightning snakes darting through.

Boom!

Thunder erupted from the mountains, turning heaven and earth white!

A massive bolt of lightning struck directly from the dark clouds, so fast that there was no time to react.

In the blink of an eye, it hit Lü Yang.

When the lightning dissipated, Lü Yang's figure slowly emerged.

However, to the Yun Clan Ancestor's disbelief, facing this heavenly lightning that could potentially kill a Qi Refining perfection cultivator, Lü Yang was unscathed!

"This is... the law of the Saint Thief?"

In the Yun Clan Ancestor's heart, information about the 'Saint Thief' flashed.

The minor and major achievements of this body refinement method were entirely different.

The minor achievement of the Saint Thief merely enhanced physical strength.

The major achievement, however, could condense 'law.'

In immortal cultivation, 'height,' or 'status,' often symbolized absolute disparity.

As long as the status was high enough, those below were like ants.

Just like Foundation Establishment True Persons to Qi Refining cultivators.

And the 'law' of the Saint Thief was, in a sense, status.

Therefore, Lü Yang now was no longer on the same level as ordinary cultivators.

All attacks from those with a 'status' lower than his couldn't even harm him!

For example, the rolling heavenly thunder summoned by the Yun Clan Ancestor through cause and effect, though powerful, lacked corresponding status.

As a result, it was like a two-dimensional attack on a three-dimensional being.

No matter how powerful, it was meaningless.

Not only couldn't it harm Lü Yang, it couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

Of course, laws also had strengths and weaknesses; not everyone was the same.

The Primordial Saint Sect had countless talents.

Lü Yang wasn't the only disciple who cultivated the Saint Thief, but the law he condensed was the strongest so far!

Because the strength of 'law' was determined by the system established through cultivating the Saint Thief.

If the system stopped at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, then the 'law' could only ignore attacks up to that stage.

Facing late-stage Qi Refining, it would still be broken.

However, with the 'help' of the Yun Clan Ancestor, Lü Yang's martial path encompassed the perfection of Qi Refining!

Therefore, his 'law' meant that unless a cultivator below Foundation Establishment mastered a great divine ability that could also elevate status, no one could break it!

Boom!

Bolts of lightning struck one after another.

However, Lü Yang remained indifferent, unmoved.

Even the surrounding grand formation was shattered, yet he remained unscathed.

Seeing this, the Yun Clan Ancestor's eyes nearly burst with rage, yet he was helpless.

"At this point, we can only let him go."

The Yun Clan Ancestor sighed.

"So be it, let him leave; the Sect Master's task is more important..."

"Senior, are you watching me?"

A calm voice came, and the Yun Clan Ancestor was suddenly stunned.

In the perspective of cause and effect, he saw Lü Yang suddenly turn his head, looking at him calmly.

He can see me... No, he knows of my existence!?

The Yun Clan Ancestor instinctively took a step back, heart filled with horror.

He immediately severed the cause and effect connection, then concealed his breath, hiding all traces of himself.

However, Lü Yang now was entirely different!

"Trying to escape..."

Lü Yang lowered his eyelids, ripples appearing in his eyes.

At this moment, his Sacred Body had achieved great completion.

Although he hadn't yet reached Foundation Establishment, the Yun Clan Ancestor was also no longer at Foundation Establishment.

At this moment, their statuses weren't vastly different!

In the next second, Lü Yang's soul left his body, soaring into the sky, overlooking the entire Secret Realm of Law Refinement.

The vast land was fully visible.

The Yun Clan Ancestor had the 'Heaven Inquiry Instrument' to protect himself, concealing his presence flawlessly.

Therefore, Lü Yang couldn't calculate his position.

However, having cultivated the Saint Thief here, this place was his domain.

He didn't need to calculate; he only needed to see which aura hadn't been stolen by him!

Whoosh!

With a thought, Lü Yang's mind reflected countless auras, rapidly filtering them.

In the end, only one seemingly weak aura remained, located within Tianjing City.

Immediately, the void opened.

The Yun Clan Ancestor, thinking he had concealed his presence, looked up in astonishment.

He saw a ripple above his head, and then a figure in black robes stepped out.

"...Found you."
