Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect
Chapter 92: Duel of True Persons!

As the 【Yama Palace】 hung high in the sky, a gust of eerie wind swept across the eight-hundred-li Skeleton Mountain, accompanied by incessant wails, transforming the area into a ghostly realm.

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak stood amidst it all, his expression exceedingly grim.

"With just these tricks, you think you can kill me?"

He almost laughed in anger; regardless of whether Lü Yang was the reincarnation of a True Person of the Primordial Saint Sect, attempting to kill him in such a manner was simply underestimating him too much!

On the other side, Lü Yang remained calm, while in his dantian, the Su Nu, who had transformed into a guardian deity, was drenched in sweat, unreservedly channeling her own status onto him, making his appearance increasingly solemn and sacred, as if he had become the center of the eight-hundred-li Skeleton Mountain.

"Let's give it a try; I wish to witness the senior's divine abilities."

Upon hearing this, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak gave Lü Yang a deep look, then nodded: "Very well, let me see which of my old colleagues you truly are!"

Clearly, he had already identified Lü Yang's true identity.

He was undoubtedly the reincarnation of a True Person of the Primordial Saint Sect!

As for why he didn't state it outright, it was quite normal; every True Person of the Primordial Saint Sect carried some troublesome karmic ties.

Such as enemies, enemies, and more enemies.

Now, having finally reincarnated, it was the perfect opportunity to shed past karma; who would willingly acknowledge their past identity and take on their former karmic burdens?

As his words fell, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak bent down, picked up a handful of yellow earth, infused it with his magical power for a moment, and then scattered it.

The dust took root upon landing, instantly transforming into a large lump of earth.

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak's soul entered it, and in an instant, the lump of earth took on his appearance.

"Though it's a body of earth and stone, it will suffice."

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak murmured softly, his lips moving as gravel continuously fell, but at least his soul now had a temporary dwelling.

Boom!

As the Master of Mending Heaven Peak cast his spell, Lü Yang did not remain idle. Within the 【Yama Palace】, the sounds of battle echoed as numerous witch ghosts appeared behind Lü Yang.

These witch ghosts, all armed and armored, displayed fierce and grotesque faces.

They were neatly arranged, with ghost soldiers and generals moving in unison.

With a single thought from Lü Yang, they charged toward the Master of Mending Heaven Peak.

"Demons and monsters dare approach my Dharma body?"

Upon seeing this, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak sneered.

A spiritual light rose slowly from the top of his head, dividing yin and yang, revealing black and white energies.

Upon closer inspection, it was a scroll.

He cultivated the Mending Heaven True Scripture, ultimately establishing a Dao foundation named "Yin-Yang Grand Dao Diagram."

The diagram had two sides: one representing Extreme Yin, the other Bright Yang, using yin and yang to explain the myriad phenomena of the universe. Any divine abilities cast into the diagram would be decomposed, refined, absorbed, and even used for his own purposes.

At this moment, the scroll unfolded, revealing the "Extreme Yin" side facing upward.

The 【Yama Palace】 was primarily based on fierce yin, and the various witch ghosts were also of the yin attribute, making them perfectly countered by "Extreme Yin." No matter how many came, it would be futile.

In the next second, the scroll flipped.

Extreme Yin turned to Bright Yang, and a vast heavenly light illuminated all directions of the Yama Palace.

Wherever it passed, all ghost soldiers and generals were ignited, instantly turning to dust.

However, at the same time, several black lights, like thunderbolts, struck into the Yin-Yang Diagram, causing the Master of Mending Heaven Peak to grunt and his earth-and-stone body to crack.

Nine Heavens Secret Demon Yin Thunder!

Ancestor Nether Wishper had once used this divine ability to suppress Lü Yang's soul.

Now, Lü Yang was using the same technique against the Master of Mending Heaven Peak's soul!

"Truly possesses some skill."

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak's expression darkened.

Although Lü Yang undoubtedly suffered more damage in the recent clash, he himself was not unscathed.

The confrontation between Foundation Establishment cultivators was vastly different from that of Qi Refining.

True Person duels involved manifesting one's Dao foundation through magical power, with countless divine abilities operating every moment.

Thus, when both parties manifested their Dao foundations and clashed, it was akin to deploying large armies, each soldier representing a divine ability.

Every collision was a battle between armies; whoever suffered more losses and could no longer manifest their Dao foundation would be defeated.

Such duels tested one's ability to strategize, essentially their level of cultivation.

In essence, it was like arranging troops: where to concentrate forces, where to feign strength, where to send in a lone force, and where to set ambushes.

With high cultivation, one could anticipate the enemy, arrange calmly, and adapt freely.

With low cultivation, one would be manipulated at will.

Therefore, unless there was a significant disparity, duels between Foundation Establishment True Persons rarely resulted in quick victories, and even if one won, it was difficult to kill the opponent.

Lü Yang's cultivation was undoubtedly inferior to that of the Master of Mending Heaven Peak.

But his condition was better.

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak's physical body was destroyed, leaving only his soul, making his Dao foundation unstable, while Lü Yang's 【Yama Palace】 had just been completed, at its peak.

It was like Lü Yang commanding an army of a hundred thousand, while the Master of Mending Heaven Peak had only ten thousand elite troops.

The numerical disparity was so great that Lü Yang didn't need complex strategies; a simple attrition tactic would suffice.

Over time, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak would naturally be defeated.

Boom!

Lü Yang gave the Master of Mending Heaven Peak no respite.

The ghost soldiers and generals within the Yama Palace resurrected and surged toward the Master of Mending Heaven Peak again.

For a moment, thunderous sounds echoed above Skeleton Mountain.

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak's expression grew increasingly grim, the cracks on his hastily formed earth-and-stone body becoming more pronounced, as if it would disintegrate at any moment.

"Do you intend for mutual destruction?"

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak looked at Lü Yang, puzzled, as Lü Yang's condition seemed too good, showing no signs of injury.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

'After all, it's not me who's getting hurt.'

Lü Yang glanced at his dantian, where the guardian deity Su Nu was now covered in wounds, her entire body cracked, in a much worse state than the Master of Mending Heaven Peak.

'Not a big problem.'

Lü Yang remained calm, continuing to exploit Su Nu's power.

After all, she wasn't dead yet; as long as she was alive, he could use her to the fullest.

After all, dueling was too dangerous; better to let someone else bear the burden.

Finally, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak couldn't hold on any longer.

He had thought that a young True Person like Lü Yang would cherish his life and Dao foundation more, but Lü Yang was so fierce, seemingly willing to perish together!

"Can't delay any longer!"

With this thought, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak immediately changed his strategy.

The Yin-Yang Grand Dao Diagram closed, Extreme Yin and Bright Yang converged, and finally produced a point of mixed light.

This point of light was initially as faint as a spark, but with the infusion of the Master of Mending Heaven Peak's magical power, it instantly blazed, emitting boundless brilliance.

Wherever it passed, whether ghost soldiers, generals, or Secret Demon Yin Thunder, all were annihilated. The light pierced through the Yama Palace!

Boom!

For a moment, the sky inside and outside was filled with mixed colors, black and white blending together, indistinguishable, clearing all the boiling yin energy.

Seeing this, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak dared not delay and immediately soared into the sky.

What he had just performed was a great divine ability called "Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Supreme Divine Light," which he had relied upon to break through to Foundation Establishment in the past.

After reaching Foundation Establishment, with the added status, his former great divine abilities gained many profound changes beyond Qi Refining. For example, the "Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Supreme Divine Light" he cast could now instantly extinguish spiritual energy, purifying and cleansing impurities.

However, such divine abilities naturally consumed a lot.

If he were still at his peak, it wouldn't matter, but in his current state, using it once was fine; more than three times would exhaust him.

Therefore, he cast it now purely to break the deadlock.

As long as he escaped the 【Yama Palace】, the sky would be the limit, and he could advance or retreat, gaining room to maneuver.

However, just as he flew out of the Yama Palace, his expression changed dramatically.

Outside the 【Yama Palace】, Lü Yang's figure quietly appeared, but this time, the guardian deity Su Nu did not accompany him, remaining in place.

"Two people!?"

The Master of Mending Heaven Peak's pupils contracted, instantly realizing: "An external incarnation! You're not yet at Foundation Establishment, just managed to refine a Foundation Establishment-level incarnation!"

Lü Yang ignored him, silently extending a finger.

Generally, he could only duel with the Master of Mending Heaven Peak when merged with Su Nu, but for a single move, he had a trump card.

This move was taught by Ancestor Nether Wishper.

In the next second, Lü Yang began to break through to Foundation Establishment, ascend, and then fall!

Lü Yang's expression was calm, his aura changing, then enveloped in the majestic power of a failed ascension, falling from Foundation Establishment, pointing at the Master of Mending Heaven Peak—

"Heaven Collapse!"

A shadow fell from the sky; Lü Yang's finger caught the Master of Mending Heaven Peak off guard, intercepting his escape mid-air!

Immediately, the 【Yama Palace】 opened its doors again.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the Master of Mending Heaven Peak's eyes widened in anger and helplessness, as Lü Yang's finger struck him down, causing him to fall back into the 【Yama Palace】!
