Chapter 171 The Cicada Emerges from its Shell, Destroying the Treasure

"Damn it! Damn it! It's me! How could you abandon me?"

The split-open Ye Yang screamed, his hands gripping the legs of the other Ye Yang tightly:

"Are you willing to accept this? Are you just going to give up? Are you going to cling to Luo Feng's leg and beg him for a chance from now on?"

"The precious pearl! It is our only hope!"

Ye Yang's voice was shrill and harsh as he spoke.

"No, that's not hope." Ye Yang, whom he had grabbed, shook his head and said calmly, "You're not me either. You're just trash that was thrown away."

"In my past life, I spent over 20 years, including 18 years as a child in the Immortal Alliance. I resonated with the world of 'Swallowed Star,' constantly exploring and moving forward, step by step leading me to where I am today. All the memories and hopes I have taken with me."

All that's left for you is the emptiness and the longing for that bead.

"I'll leave all the Void Laws I just comprehended to you; I don't want any of them."

"Get out!"

With that, he kicked the persistent "corpse" away with both feet.

Let it disappear along with the death of the "old self".

In the world of the Immortal Alliance, in a void.

"Phew~"

Ye Yang opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

"It's a success. Has the second True Nirvana eradicated the erosion?"

He examined his body and clearly felt a very awkward sensation.

It is the aura of emptiness.

"My master said that once someone is corrupted, their consciousness is also distorted, and they won't be able to detect it themselves. But now I'm feeling something wrong with my body."

So I've regained consciousness, right?

Ye Yang looked at the inherited artifact of the "Tai Xu Refining Spirit Method" again. The erosion degree displayed on it was 0.0837%, which should be the value read from the erosion traces in the body.

Ye Yang then sat cross-legged on the spot, circulating his true intent to refine all the abnormalities within his body. If that didn't work, he would sacrifice a portion of his own vital energy, discarding the unrefinable parts along with a portion of his true essence.

"Coughing damages some of the body's essence, but I actually feel much better—"

Ye Yang's face was pale as he took out the inherited magic artifact to check the values.

0.0000%

"Great, it's solved."

Ye Yang nodded in satisfaction.

Ultimately, the changes in his body and consciousness were caused by his perception and resonance with the "void".

He was the one actively approaching the [Void].

[The Void] The truly powerful force did not pour in directly, so relying on oneself, there is still a sliver of hope to resolve the situation.

Ye Yang seized this glimmer of hope. After finishing his treatment, he looked at the hazy gray bead—let's call it the 'Void Bead' for now.

Ye Yang looked at the Void Pearl, and this time he no longer had that feeling of being captivated by it at first glance.

"This thing is a menace if we keep it, and I have a feeling that it is very likely the key to maintaining the seal on this void. If we want to get out, we have to find a way to destroy it."

Ye Yang couldn't find any other reason. This Void Bead was most likely the core of maintaining the seal on this void.

Carefully picking up the Void Pearl, Ye Yang showed no hesitation and directly formed a knife with his hand, drawing upon a wisp of the Void Law.

Previously, during the True Meaning Nirvana, I abandoned most of my understanding of the Void Laws, but I only abandoned the part that I had comprehended using this Void Pearl.

That part is actually a mixture of understanding the concept of emptiness and the laws of emptiness, which can be said to be "poisonous" and must be abandoned.

Ye Yang doesn't have that level of mental fastidiousness. If these insights are beneficial and harmless, he will definitely keep them.

The fact that it was discarded only shows that keeping it would have caused even greater harm.

"No matter how precious a treasure is, if it cannot be controlled by me and instead affects me, then I might as well destroy it!"

Ye Yang unleashed his strongest attack at that moment, intending to shatter the Void Pearl!

However, this Void Pearl was made of some unknown material. When Ye Yang's palm strike landed on it, it disintegrated directly into the most basic spiritual energy, leaving not a trace.

"Hmm? So tough? Or is it immune to attacks from the laws of the void?"

Ye Yang frowned and summoned his natal spirit fire.

"I didn't originally want to use it, after all, it's not easy to cultivate, and ultimately it's something I'm attached to, so separating it wouldn't be easy either."

Ye Yang's natal spirit fire has reached the fifth level of power. Although it is called natal, it can be regarded as a kind of existence similar to metal-assisted life or plant-assisted life that devours the world.

Since Ye Yang cultivates the true meaning of martial arts, whether or not it is his natal possession is ultimately up to him to interpret. Trying to remove it would only cost him a little energy.

"I'm afraid that it might burn the Void Pearl, but it might also absorb and refine some of the bad things released by the Void Pearl, thus destroying this ball of spiritual fire as well."

Ye Yang shook his head and threw the Void Pearl into his natal spirit fire.

However, one second, one minute, ten minutes—

Ye Yang continuously supplied mana, pushing the refining power within the spiritual fire to its limit, but the Void Pearl at the center of the spiritual fire remained completely still.

"It had absolutely no effect, not even a trace of additional void power was activated, which means that the material alone could easily withstand a fifth-tier attack."

Ye Yang's face turned grim. What should he do now?

The bead remained completely unchanged despite his repeated attacks, posing no threat whatsoever, as if mocking the weakness and ineffectiveness of all his attempts.

Suddenly, Ye Yang had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution.

However, he wasn't sure if he would succeed.

"The Gate of All Heavens!"

"Using the power of the Gate of All Heavens and the differences in laws between the two worlds, we will exploit the distortion of these laws to destroy this bead!"

The distortion of laws can fundamentally change an item.

In some worlds, the laws of the world do not support the existence of 'atoms' and 'molecules'. Matter composed of atoms will disintegrate into a mass of energy and explode as soon as it arrives there, making it impossible to exist stably.

Of course, the above examples are quite extreme.

However, Ye Yang used the law to mutate and obtained many useful things, such as the No. 001 metal with the flow of spatial law secret patterns.

However, even more items were destroyed!

More than 99.99% of the materials he brought from the Immortal Alliance Lord's World to the Devouring World were damaged and turned into waste.

Materials brought from the Devouring World to the Immortal Alliance Master's World have a higher probability of being damaged!

Surely the material of this Void Pearl isn't so special that it can withstand the differences in the laws of different worlds?

Even if it can withstand it, the internal void laws and void realms will certainly not remain unchanged. They will most likely conflict with the original universe's operating laws and then be modified or erased by the original universe's operating laws.

"Moreover, once it's sent into the instance world, this void-sealed area should naturally dissipate."

Ye Yang took a deep breath and began to summon the projection of the Gate of All Heavens.

The population living on the planet where the Daoist lineage is based is not large, and the vast majority of them are service workers who serve the important figures.

Cultivators are basically disciples who strive to establish a lineage.

Of these, less than half are dungeon owners, totaling less than a thousand.

Of these thousand people, not many happened to use the projection of the Gate of All Heavens at that moment.

Just wait for a gap.

"Hopefully, within this void-sealed area, which is still recognized by the Gate of All Heavens as 'within the planetary realm,' a projection can be sent down."

Ye Yang kept sending requests to the illusory gate deep within his consciousness.

This is actually an "illegal operation".

The projections of the Gates of Heaven on all the planets of the Immortal Alliance are extremely valuable resources. To use them, you must first apply for permission on a networked device.

Even though the projection resources of the Gates of Heaven on the home planet have been completely contracted by the Extreme Dao Vein, it's not something Ye Yang can use whenever he wants.

However, setting rules is one thing, and enforcing them is another.

The powerful beings of the Immortal Alliance have not yet fully grasped the Gate of All Heavens, so they cannot prevent certain violations of the rules and can only punish them afterward.

Ye Yang's situation falls under the category of emergency avoidance, and he only needs to pay a fine afterwards.

"Come quick! Come quick!"

Ye Yang kept calling out, but there was no response—so he kept trying.

Once, ten times, a hundred times, ten thousand times—

With high-frequency summoning, Ye Yang could summon more than ten times per second, which would amount to ten thousand times in ten minutes.

Within the void lockdown, time and space are stretched out; Ye Yang's ten minutes are equivalent to only a moment in the outside world.

The summoning occurred ten thousand times in an instant—an extremely high frequency—immediately making Ye Yang's weight on this planet surpass that of everyone below the True Immortal level!

Coincidentally, none of the few True Immortals on the home planet who were also dungeon masters summoned the Gate of All Heavens.

In the 11th minute, a projection suddenly appeared in front of Ye Yang.

"It's a success!"

Ye Yang immediately picked up the Void Pearl and touched the projection of the Gate of All Heavens with his other hand.

"Deploy!"

All physical objects entering and leaving the instance world must be done through the projection of the Gate of All Heavens.

The phantom in consciousness can only be entered and exited by consciousness.

"It's a success!"

Ye Yang was overjoyed as he watched the Void Pearl disappear from his hand.

For a deployment to be successful, the item cannot release too much energy, and this Void Bead, just now, did not reveal any power at all.

It looked just like an ordinary, translucent glass bead.

Successfully entered the instance world.

Click~ Click~

As if something was shattering, Ye Yang felt the surrounding void shaking, and the surrounding scenery instantly shifted to blue and brightened.

"I'm back!"

Ye Yang steadied himself on the ground and quickly looked around.

It was peaceful and quiet.

There was not a single sign of war breaking out.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, it was just a monster that infiltrated, not a large-scale enemy attack that breached the defenses."

brush!

Zhushan Zhenxian appeared in the courtyard with a gloomy face.

brush!brush!brush!brush!

One by one, True Immortals teleported over, leaving Ye Yang stunned.

"Void blockade! It suddenly appeared and then disappeared. What exactly happened?" True Immortal Zhushan asked Ye Yang first.

Ye Yang could only point to the monster's corpse on the ground and recount what had just happened.

Of course, Ye Yang didn't mention that his consciousness was corrupted by the void realm within the Void Pearl, and he was almost tempted to fall into depravity.

"Zhushan, your grand-disciple is quite capable. He's only at the third level of Body Tempering and the fourth level of Qi Refining, yet he's able to kill a fifth-level demon beast."

"Heh, the Void Cult is getting more and more arrogant, they've even infiltrated our home planet."

One by one, the True Immortals looked at Ye Yang with either admiration or approval, or they looked at the monster corpses on the ground with cold smiles.

The fact that the Void Cult's madmen had infiltrated their Daoist lair had indeed angered, infuriated, and surprised these True Immortals.
