Chapter 188: Chapter 133: Yang God_1

Translator: 549690339

The Sword Demon perished, and Monarch Xunlong was no more; of the four Demon Emperors, two had already fallen.

The remaining two, upon witnessing this scene, felt as if their souls were utterly terrified, desperately fleeing for their lives.

“Roar!”

Chu Gonghou pushed his Divine Skills to the limit, transforming into a Silver Moon Heavenly Wolf, its paws treading the void, soaring straight into the heavens.

As if it intended to escape to the moon and beyond.

Although both the Sword Demon Ape and Monarch Xunlong had died, their sacrifices were not in vain. One had held off the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, while the other had entangled the Great Evil Ghost King. Now, of North City’s three cultivators, only the Thunder Lightning Mana King Shi Jian remained.

Although he might be the most troublesome to deal with, he had consecutively performed grand Divine Skills, first destroying the Divine Ferry Treasure Boat, then initiating Purgatory Siege, and finally, clashing with the thousand-zhang Blood Heaven Dragon. After several bouts of consumption, even as a Taoist True Monarch, he must be exhausted, his mana severely damaged, and his Taoist Cultivation greatly diminished, right?

Perhaps he no longer had the strength to interfere.

Even if he did have some energy left, he might not necessarily stop him.

When fleeing for life, you don’t necessarily have to be faster than the enemy, but you definitely need to be faster than your teammate.

At this moment, Chu Gonghou’s speed was extremely fast, already bursting out of the battlefield area.

In contrast, the Shocking Thunder Jiao, which was only just reaching the edge of the battlefield, was noticeably slower than him.

Therefore, Chu Gonghou did not dare to slacken his pace, intending to take advantage of the momentum and make a distant escape.

But he had not anticipated…

“Boom boom boom!”

Thunderclouds collided, thunder roared, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, blocking his path abruptly.

Within the lightning, a figure appeared, his tall crown binding his hair, his mysterious robe concealing his body, his thick eyebrows angled sharply like wings, his eyes blazing with thunder, his sideburns touched with frosty flecks, and his long beard flowing with the elegance of a gentleman. His divine countenance opened his Heavenly Eye, and the myriad spirits in his crown chakra gathered brilliance, truly a rightful Cultivator of the pure Dao, a man of the Jade Pure and Heavenly Shores amongst mortals.

“The Thunder Lightning Mana King!”

“Shi Jian!!!”

Gazing at the Taoist True Monarch who had become the incarnation of thunder and lightning before him, Chu Gonghou’s pupils constricted, his heart skipped a beat, and then without a second thought, he turned and fled.

How did the other come from nowhere with such a terrifying speed of escape?

Why did he choose to stop him instead of going after the slower Shocking Thunder Jiao behind him?

In the heart of the Wolf King, doubts piled up, and terror surged.

But clearly, this was not the time to dwell on these questions.

Escaping was of the essence!

The other’s strength needed no further discussion, having been demonstrated plainly in the recent confrontation.

Even if he were just newly ascended to the Six Realms, let alone those seasoned Demon Emperors or the myriad-year-old demons that were half-ghost and half-divinity, he might not be his match.

He could only flee; if he failed, he would surely die!

The Heavenly Wolf spun around, his paws pounding the ground in a furious sprint, transforming into a streak of silver light that shot away in the blink of an eye, with an escape speed that was astonishing.

Speed was the strong suit of the Heavenly Wolf, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to outpace Shocking Thunder Jiao, who was also a Demon Emperor.

However…

Xu Yang did not move a step, merely raising his arm, immediately summoning thunder from the skies that streaked toward the silver light like a thunderbolt.

You could see, at this moment, his body was semi-transparent, faintly discernible with lightning coursing through it. f𝗿𝚎eweb𝗻o𝐯𝐞l.𝚌om

Was this… the soul?

A soul that had attained Pure Yang Creation!

A Yang God!

In Trance!

In the practice of Taoism, the Four Realms solidify the Yin Soul, the Five Realms allow the Yin Soul out of body, and the Six Realms achieve Pure Yang Creation.

Although the physical body is an essential vessel for navigating life, it must be acknowledged that it also represents an obstacle that limits the sensitivity of the cultivator’s soul to the Dao of Heaven and Earth and constrains the power of their Divine Skills.

Therefore, after reaching the Five Realms in Taoist Cultivation, one can leave the physical body and let the Yin Soul out, merging with the heavens and practicing the Dao.

After the Yin Soul leaves the body, unhampered by the physical form, the soul can better perceive and resonate with the cosmos, entering a deeper state of Unity of Heaven and Man, thereby significantly enhancing the power of one’s Taoism.

This is described as a qualitative change.

Therefore, the difference between a Four-Realm Mage and a Five-Realm True Man is just one realm, but the disparity is as vast as that between the clouds and the mud.

The difference lies not just in the level of Cultivation, mana, and Taoist Cultivation, but also in the ability of the Yin Soul to leave the body, and the power granted by the Dao of Heaven and Earth.

This is the Yin Soul going out of body for a Five-Realm True Man.

But after the Five Realms, with Pure Yang Creation, the Yin Soul is transformed into a Yang God, which has infinitely wonderful uses.

The soul is Yin, and the physical body is Yang. After the Yin Soul leaves the body, it becomes extremely vulnerable without physical protection.

Sunburn is like roasting with fire, being exposed to wind feels like slicing with knives, immersion in water brings extreme cold, and thunder causes the soul to scatter. Even with the soul out of body, it cannot stray too far from the physical form, lest it runs the risk of the soul disintegrating. When merged with heaven to practice the Dao, one must also be careful not to lose oneself in the profundity of the Dao; otherwise, one can become petrified and unmoving.

This is the frailty and multitude of risks associated with the Yin Soul.

The Yang God is different. Once the Golden Core is cultivated with Pure Yang Creation, the soul no longer fears sun, wind, water, or fire, and even amid flashing lightning and thundering, there is support to be found.

In addition, with the Unity of Heaven and Man, the effects are even greater, and there is a connection of Yin and Yang Creation between the soul and the body that can help maintain the self against loss, enabling an instantaneous return to the physical form amidst obstacles.

With this wonderful capability, a Six-Realm True Monarch, using the method of Yang God Trance, can perambulate from the North Sea to Cangwu within a single thought. Unless faced with a Magical Treasure or Divine Skill targeted at the soul, one cannot hope to intercept the Returning of the Yang God.

Such is the marvel of the Yang God.

Now Xu Yang, in his current state as a Yang God, has come out in a trance to intercept and kill.

Although he could have killed these two newly ascended Demon Emperors from within the Taoist Temples by casting spells, his recent consecutive displays of grand Divine Skills had caused severe depletion to his soul. To perform further Curses would definitely result in a deficit, so it was best to conserve energy if possible and carry out the interception in a trance.

Though the trance of the Yang God also consumed the soul, it was ultimately easier than long-range spell-casting and remote cursing.

Moreover, after the trance, unencumbered by the physical body, he could achieve Unity of Heaven and Man, practicing the Dao with his body
