Chapter 153: Creation Peeks at Combined Dao
A line of bright light streaked across the sky, the long arc seemingly slicing the entire sky in half.
It was a polyhedron emitting a strange light, composed of countless small, constantly changing colored edges and faces.
At its core, a constantly rotating, eye-like colorful vortex was vaguely visible.
The red-haired Cang Clan member standing below the cliff extended a hand, and the polyhedron quickly descended as if it had finally found its destination.
Thump!
As the polyhedron landed in His hand, a circle of deep blue energy ripples spread out, continuously extending into the distance.
Wherever the energy ripples passed, trees swayed, and many small animals hidden in the forest fled in panic.
But their movements quickly froze in their last instant, the flesh and blood beneath their fur seemingly sucked away from thin air, and their fur lost its luster.
In just an instant, the fleeing small animals turned into decaying bones wrapped in gray, withered fur.
Not only that, but the trees touched by the energy ripples were also withering; their green and lush leaves wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Within a radius of one li, no plants grew, and vitality withered.
"Can it only do this much...?" He gazed at the slowly rotating colorful vortex within the polyhedron.
Although the grade of this biological weapon core was not very high, if it hadn't been suppressed, with His methods, He could even directly extract the vitality of this star system and create a biological weapon comparable to Returning Void.
Now that it was suppressed, it could only seize vitality within such a small range.
Suddenly, His heart stirred, and He looked up.
He saw a person standing upon a sword high in the sky; it was Zhang Yunlu who had followed the streak of light.
She looked down at the withered land below from her sword, her expression solemn.
Especially the red-haired figure who didn't seem like a Fifth Jiajiao Clan member; the faint aura she felt made her heartbeat seem to slow down a bit.
The strong sense of crisis was like when she first saw that strange Xiao Fan before she had achieved Enlightenment of Principles.
Is this person also Creation Foundation Establishment?
Zhang Yunlu's eyes were wary; she did not approach further but maintained a certain distance, took out a pill to swallow, and began recovering the true essence she had consumed while riding her sword.
"Are the Human Clan Creation Foundation Establishment cultivators of this generation all so timid?" the red-haired Cang Clan member laughed.
Hmm?!
This person is indeed not right.
The Fifth Jiajiao Clan on this planet couldn't possibly know about Creation Foundation Establishment.
"Are you the mastermind?" Zhang Yunlu asked.
The medicinal energy flowed within her body, and her true essence recovered little by little, about to be fully restored.
"Mastermind?"
A wisp of golden-red light flowed out from the polyhedron in the red-haired Cang Clan member's hand, like a flowing flame.
The flames gathered before Him, forming levels of magnificent and strange steps. He then ascended step by step along these steps, reaching a position level with Zhang Yunlu.
"Barely so."
He gently raised His other hand; the flames that had just formed the steps now resembled a fire dragon, constantly swimming beside Him. The terrifying high temperature caused the surrounding air to slightly distort.
Seeing those glass-like colored eyes looking at her, Zhang Yunlu couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, her hair standing on end.
Her true essence was now full, and the black and white Dao platform spread out a wisp of profound fluctuation, bringing her a powerful amplification.
But even so, the sense of crisis in her heart did not recede; instead, it became even more intense and concentrated.
"My name is Huang Qi, the Seventh Heavenly General under the Cang Clan's Xuan Ancestor."
However, His words sounded like a series of meaningless 'beeps' to Zhang Yunlu.
...
What was He saying?
However, after stating His name, Huang Qi had no intention of wasting words with Zhang Yunlu.
"Go."
He saw Him raise a hand and point; the fire dragon swimming beside Him roared and then fiercely pounced.
Zhang Yunlu's pupils contracted; her ice crystal longsword fell into her hand, and she slashed horizontally.
Several ice and snow tornadoes roared, crashing towards the fire dragon.
Boom!
The terrifying impact formed by their collision shredded the clouds, and a figure rapidly fell from the high sky, landing in the withered land from which vitality had been extracted.
Countless withered trees were broken by the impact, and the ground was ploughed into a deep scar tens of meters long.
Zhang Yunlu's sword-holding hand was slightly numb, but she couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Golden-red light shone around Huang Qi; the divine fire mark between His brows glowed brightly. The biological weapon in His hand had turned a vivid golden-red, like a star emitting endless light and heat.
"The Human Clan's Creation Foundation is indeed remarkable; with a frail body, one can glimpse the door to Combined Dao."
Saying this, He pointed again casually; scorching light shone brightly, and magnificent heavenly flames fell upon the world.
Zhang Yunlu swung her hand and unleashed a sword strike; wind and snow howled out but collapsed upon contact, and she could only retreat to dodge in the end.
The power intensity of the two was almost the same, but in application, the difference was too great.
"But this advantage is limited to below Combined Dao."
He was like a god in control of flames, effortlessly gaining the upper hand while strolling leisurely.
The Creation Foundation is to clearly define one's path in advance, making Combined Dao easier and the possibility of further progress greater.
In ancient times, Heaven's Will rejected the Human Clan, so it was almost impossible for the Human Clan to achieve Combined Dao.
But the appearance of the Good Fortune Dao Foundation carved out a sliver of possibility.
Unfortunately, by the time this was discovered, it was already too late.
Huang Qi sighed lightly in His heart and waved His hand, unleashing another flame.
Looking at Zhang Yunlu, who could only barely resist, He felt for a moment as if He had returned to the ancient hunting ground.
Whoosh!
A crescent moon-like sword light, blood-red, slashed over. Huang Qi slightly tilted His body and dodged it.
"Are you wondering why the races on this planet hold such great malice towards the Human Clan?"
The scorching high temperature made Zhang Yunlu's hair slightly curl, but hearing the voice that entered her ears, her heart still couldn't help but stir.
"The biological weapon core was created by my Cang Clan through studying your Human Clan's immortals."
"Among them is the ability of that Demon Immortal - 'Delusion'."
"I ask the beings of the world, who can be without delusion?"
"Therefore, I used the greed of this planet's races as a guide, refined their original hearts, and afterwards, no matter what emotion arose in their hearts, it would only transform into hatred for the Human Clan."
These words, upon reaching Zhang Yunlu's ears, were just a series of meaningless 'beeps'.
What on earth is this person saying!
But Huang Qi still explained calmly.
"The more they fear, the more they wish to survive, the more they will hate the Human Clan."
"Your repeated attacks and killings have accumulated and transformed emotions sufficient to make them fearless of death, with only the thought of hating the Human Clan remaining in their hearts."
He was not in a hurry to kill this Human Clan Creation Foundation Establishment cultivator.
If He killed her now, the Sword Revered's suppression would not dissipate, and He would still be unable to escape this calamity.
Therefore, He still needed to wait for an opportunity.
At the same time, the reason He kept mentioning Delusion's name was to lure him to descend.
Xuan Ancestor had instructed that if possible, He needed to try His best to lure that Demon Immortal among the Human Clan to descend.
At that time, Xuan Ancestor would act again and seize a trace of his essence!
If the Demon Immortal's essence was obtained, that 'Ancestor's' return would be smoother!
