Chapter 777 771: Reversal Law, Bizarre Red Threads_1
The power of the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity permeated the air, surging forth with a contaminating force far stronger than that of the remnant bizarre and Spirit Bizarre.
Jia Ren quietly gazed at the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity, offering no resistance, allowing the peculiar power to envelop him.
A layer of ash-grey petrification power covered the surface of his body, gradually transforming into a human-shaped stone sculpture, his life force flickering like a candle on the verge of burning out.
The power within his Body Repository sensed the invading contamination and was about to shatter it. Before that could happen, the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force collided with it first.
The invading force of the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity had no power to resist, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into dense Immortal Spiritual Qi. The gray stone-like skin crumbled away, revealing fair skin beneath.
The contaminating force of the Void-level Strange Creature was no different from that of the remnant bizarre and Spirit Bizarre; the bizarre contaminating force could be traced back to Immortal Spiritual Qi.
From a distance, Jia Ren struck out with a punch toward the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity, as if punching through mountains, and it landed on the ash-grey stone oddity. The Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force rushed into the body of the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity, and two completely different forces collided.
BOOM!
The Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity was sent flying backward, large pieces of grey stone chipped away from its Bizarre Body, resembling a shattered ancient statue as it fell beside the tower. Fissures in its body faintly revealed red Guisi, sinister and bizarre, writhing like living beings as they slowly repaired the Bizarre Body.
The instant Jia Ren saw the red Guisi, he felt an inexplicable discomfort, as if he were facing a natural enemy.
Is this... the power that contaminates heaven and earth?
Have they always been living inside the laws, co-existing with them, and thus given birth to the Bizarre Demons?
His left eye crimson, his right eye abyssal, his gaze fixated on the changes of the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity, unwilling to miss the slightest detail.
In the body of the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity, the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force rampaged unchecked, continuously shattering and destroying the red Guisi. After seventy percent of the red Guisi were destroyed, the bizarre aura on the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity grew fainter and fainter, eventually unable to maintain its Bizarre Body, and it completely disintegrated.
After several breaths, no trace of the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity could be found within the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda, leaving only... the diffuse force of the Petrification Rule.
Success! The Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force had successfully reversed the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity back into the force of the Petrification Rule!
Jia Ren had come to understand the source of the contamination, and this was the first time he had reversed a Bizarre Body back into its original Power of Laws. This was significant progress, of monumental importance.
The Petrification Rule, devoid of bizarre power and no longer bound by the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda, departed from this place. The moment the Power of Laws returned to heaven and earth, the Petrification Rule was once again contaminated and transformed back into the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity.
Gazing at the sky, Jia Ren's face showed deep thought, and his gaze remained fixed for a long time.
The Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda trembled, and the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity was sealed again.
Without a bearer for the Power of Laws, after reversing the Void-level Strange Creature back into a law, one could only let it return to heaven and earth. The source of contamination in heaven and earth had not been eradicated; the Power of Laws would still revert to the bizarre.
This experiment had confirmed what he had thought, bearing significant implications. Experiments need to be rigorous; one successful attempt does not represent all results. More experiments must be conducted to corroborate the answer. Moreover, since the Petrification Bizarre was a weaker Void-level Strange Creature, it was not certain that the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force could reverse stronger Bizarre Demons.
"'Again!'"
Within the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda, a large number of remnant bizarre merged together, forming a whole and transforming into a black gale. A moaning sound arose, soul hooking and capturing. This was the Void-level Soul Hooking Bizarre, formed after the Power of Laws from a Deceiving Scripture Hall Ghost-path Golden Immortal who was killed returned to heaven and earth.
The second experiment began.
The moment the Void-level Soul Hooking Bizarre took shape, Jia Ren closed the distance and with his fist wrapped in the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force, struck down heavily. The Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force poured unreservedly into the body of the Void-level Soul Hooking Bizarre, which swelled up like an inflated balloon.
The scene was exactly the same as before; the ethereal Bizarre Body of the black gale began to disintegrate, with numerous red Guisi writhing as though alive. The Bizarre Body of the previously tested Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity had no power to resist the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force; at the touch of its red Guisi, they disintegrated, unimpeded.
The Void-level Soul Hooking Bizarre was more resilient. Its red Guisi, sensing the crisis, continuously clashed with the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force. The two different powers struggled fiercely against each other, ultimately both being annihilated. Jia Ren injected even more of the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force before the red Guisi were utterly abolished.
As the two different forces vanished, the Bizarre Body of the Void-level Soul Hooking Bizarre disintegrated, turning into pure Power of Laws. The scene, just like before, saw the soul-hooking Law depart from the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda and revert to a Void-level Strange Creature upon returning to heaven and earth.
The Golden Immortal-level laws pose no issue, but the difficulty of reversing them is three times higher.
Compared to the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity, the Void-level Soul Hooking Bizarre of the Golden Immortal Realm proved to be tougher.
Next is... the Bizarre Law of the Supreme Jade Immortal Realm.
The third experiment began!
"'Suppress Evil!'"
The Xuantian Suppressing Immortal Demon Tower Mark emerged on Jia Ren's forehead, the Suppressing Evil Laws protecting his divine court. Facing the bizarre power of an Immortal Monarch level, he had to be even more cautious.
Within the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda, one hundred and twenty-eight remnant bizarre swiftly gathered on the ninety-ninth level. This was the Void-level Space Bizarre, formed when the Space Law of Lord Qianyu, who had been killed, turned into a Void-level Strange Creature. Void-level Strange Creatures of the Immortal Monarch level were extremely powerful; dividing them into one hundred and twenty-eight remnant bizarre for suppression was much safer.
The one hundred and twenty-eight remnant bizarre merged into one, and the Void-level Space Bizarre was restored to its original state.
Just as Jia Ren was about to make his move, his body stiffened in place, as if frozen like a mirror. An invisible, hiltless blade was slicing, ready to tear his body into a thousand pieces. The tumultuous Suppressing Evil Laws shook the Void-level Space Bizarre's restraints.
His fist struck out towards the source of the bizarre contamination, as the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force surged out like a gray dragon. The hit, intended for certain victory, struck an empty space; he could no longer sense the trace of the Void-level Space Bizarre. As master of the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda, Jia Ren knew the Void-level Space Bizarre was still present, yet he could not locate it. It seemed to have escaped into a secondary space it had created.
"Swallow Heaven and Devour Earth!"
Jia Ren's mouth underwent a transformation, slightly resembling the mouth of a kun fish, as the abyss-like maw opened to fiercely inhale in all directions. A great deal of the spatial Bizarre Law was swallowed whole, quickly forming a Void-level Space Bizarre in his stomach.
Without waiting for the Void-level Space Bizarre to wreak havoc, a massive surge of gray Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force arrived. With his body as a prison, he lured his foe into the trap! The force that burst out from the Void-level Space Bizarre upon contact was completely transformed into pure Immortal Spiritual Qi, which slowly disseminated within him.
When the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force touched the Bizarre Body of the Void-level Space Bizarre, its mirror-like luminous body became mottled, the mirrored surface muted, and strands of red Guisi emerged. In comparison to the Virtual-level Stone Petrification Oddity and the Soul Hooking Bizarre, the red Guisi inside the Void-level Space Bizarre had a tinge of black and were far more powerful. The usually invincible Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force flooding into the Bizarre Body required more power to snap even a single strand. Facing the omnipresent Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force, more and more of it relentlessly advanced, continuously destroying the black-red Guisi.
Time passed uncounted, and over seventy percent of the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force was consumed. The Void-level Space Bizarre no longer had any trace of bizarre aura and completely dissipated, returning to heaven and earth.
The plan, at this point, finally came to an end.
The moment the Void-level Space Bizarre had just taken shape, Jia Ren had sent it into the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda to dissect its Bizarre Body.
"'Inject!'"
The Specter-slaying Immortal Force was infused with Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force. The pure white Bizarre Slashing Immortal Sword was consequently suffused with a gray light, and a gray sword beam flashed out. The Bizarre Body of the Void-level Space Bizarre was cleaved into two parts. At the break, broken black-red Guisi were distinctly visible, undulating as if alive. The Press Bizarre's power hindered the Bizarre Body from recovering, turning it into two incomplete Bizarre Bodies.
"'Success!'"
Jia Ren was not surprised by this; he had anticipated everything. The red Guisi of Bizarre Demons were invisible, only manifesting against the strikes of Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force. Only by obliterating all the Guisi within could he reverse the Bizarre Demons into Laws. Segmenting Bizarre Demons achieved a similar ingenious effect. Only with the addition of the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force could the Specter-slaying Immortal Force produce such an astonishing scene.
This technique can not only segment Bizarre Demons but can also become a great weapon against Bizarre Immortals.
The Bizarre Slashing Immortal Sword slashed continuously, again splitting the Void-level Space Bizarre into remnant bizarre and sealing them in their original areas.
He also had a residual Space Dao Guai from a Jade Box given by the Devious Path Forces to Yu Qiong Celestial Honor; should he try it?
Jia Ren hesitated for a moment before giving up the idea. His Cultivation Level was too weak; it was unclear if he could reverse such a high level of power. Should he fail, it would only introduce more variables. Even if the plan succeeded, it would still be back to square one. Up to now, the experiment had confirmed many speculations, and there was no need to take risks.
The Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force could indeed reverse Bizarre Demons, and even... Dao Bizarre. Aside from sealing them, there was finally a perfect solution to the previously intractable Bizarre Demons. As long as Jia Ren wished, Bizarre Immortals would be weaker than ordinary Immortals of the same Realm... even though this method was his alone.
Every coin has two sides.
He possessed the ability to reverse Bizarre Demons. If he grew strong enough, there truly would be hope of resolving the issue with the Bizarre Path. The downside was that once the news leaked out, Bizarre Immortals and Dao Bizarre Level powerhouses would pursue and surround him to end his life. Yang Chengcang, who devoured Dao Bizarre, was a public enemy of the Bizarre Demons, and Bizarre Immortals were calling for his death. Jia Ren would be worse off. Not only would he be chased by the Bizarre Demons pursuing Yang Chengcang, but Yang Chengcang would also do whatever it took to eliminate him.
Having successfully reversed a Void-level Bizarre Demon into Laws, he suppressed his excitement and began to analyze the situation calmly.
Slowly increase my Cultivation Level. Unless I grow strong enough, I must not reveal any information.
Only by quietly growing to a Dao Ancestor Level would he be able to wrestle with the top powerhouses and solve the plague of Bizarre Demons.
After reaching the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm and overcoming the last of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man—Soul Decline and Doom Decline—the next step would be the Supreme Jade Immortal Realm. Unable to improve his Immortal Path Cultivation Level, he pinned his hopes on making progress in By Strength, Prove the Dao.
The path of By Strength, Prove the Dao progressed slowly, and Jia Ren was the sole exception. The Heart Derivation Technique and the Space Law accelerated the expansion of the Flesh and Blood Origin Realm. The abundant supply of Myriad Spirits Blood Origin Pills facilitated breaking through the human-celestial boundary, making opening the Heaven Repository not too difficult.
After opening the Heaven Repository, he would face the contaminating power of heaven and earth... This problem, since the birth of the Tianbao Great Path Technique, was no longer troublesome. Having fulfilled the condition to break through the Fourth Mystical Barrier, and most likely having survived the Soul Decline and Doom Decline, the quality of the Heavenly Treasured Path Celestial Force in the Supreme Jade Immortal Realm would improve, making it even easier to resolve the contamination of the Heaven Repository.
After breaking through the Fourth Mystical Barrier, his combat strength on the path of By Strength, Prove the Dao would be formidable, even surpassing ordinary Daluo Golden Immortals. By then, he could be considered to have half a foot among the ranks of the very top powerhouses in the Immortal Realm.
