My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1138 The Primordial Spirit Escapes
"Test data record: Flowing Clouds Scarf disintegrated in 0.3 seconds, Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor disintegrated in 0.4 seconds, Azure Nether Shield disintegrated in 0.8 seconds, Mysterious Iron Tortoise Armor disintegrated in 1.2 seconds, Vajra Body Protection Technique failed in 1 second..."

Wen Rui once again retrieved the nanobots into his armor, flew forward to pick up the fragments of the Xuan Tie tortoise shell, and crushed them into powder with a gentle squeeze.

Then he looked at the empty core of immortal power on the target's chest—the energy source that once powered the three magical treasures had now become a cold metal shell. "Conclusion: The core of multiple defenses is the synergy between energy and spiritual energy, while phase locking can simultaneously sever all synergistic links, making each layer of protection an independent 'fragile item'."

Wen Rui activated the holographic projection, bringing up a microscopic simulation animation of the magic weapon disintegrating. He swiped his finger across the virtual screen, summoning Jarvis's AI system to analyze it simultaneously: "From a quantum perspective, the essence of a cultivation magic weapon is a 'magic-matter coupling.' Matter is the carrier (such as the spiritual plant fibers of the Azure Nether Shield and the metal lattice of the Mysterious Iron Tortoise Shell), while magic power is the 'energy adhesive.' The two form a stable structure through 'quantum entanglement,' which is the core difference between magic weapons and ordinary matter."

Wen Rui's gaze fell on the point where the spiritual plant fibers and immortal power met in the animation: "The vine patterns of the Azure Shield are actually 'quantum channels' formed between the molecules of the spiritual plant fibers by immortal power. Only when the immortal power flows through the channels can the light shield defense be activated."

The core function of the phase-locking device is to forcibly cut off this channel, turning the celestial power from a 'flowing state' to a 'frozen state,' just like turning water in a pipe into ice, which not only stops it from flowing but also cracks the pipe.

An immortal's dantian, meridians, and cells cannot withstand such an impact of immortal power freezing; by the same principle, extraordinary matter also cannot withstand it.

This is an internal collapse at the microscopic structural level. Even if some extraordinary substance is indestructible in the macroscopic world, it cannot withstand this kind of microscopic disintegration.

Wen Rui further analyzed the disintegration of the Xuan Tie tortoise shell.

The coupling of metallic magical artifacts relies more on 'lattice-immortal power resonance' to maintain a stable structure. The mysterious light of the Xuan Tie tortoise shell is essentially the energy radiation generated by the resonance between the metallic lattice and immortal power.

Phase locking not only freezes the phase of immortal power, but also reverses the vibration phase of the crystal lattice, turning the two from 'resonance and synergy' to 'phase conflict', just like two gears that were originally synchronized suddenly rotating in opposite directions, eventually causing the crystal lattice to break and the magic weapon to disintegrate from the inside.

The practical application of spatial phase locks is far from being fully developed, but it is already comparable to the old magical artifacts of the prehistoric world.

Judging from the current experimental progress, it is already equivalent to a combination of Hunyuan Golden Bucket and Luobao Golden Coin, but it is not very humane and is too brutal.

The Primordial Golden Cauldron diminishes cultivation but is not fatal; the Falling Treasure Golden Immortal renders its magic weapon ineffective but does not destroy it.

Once the spatial phase lock is activated, it indiscriminately disintegrates all living beings and things. Even the indestructible body of a Golden Immortal is riddled with holes in less than a second and has no chance of recovery. High-level immortal treasures also lose all their divine power and turn into dust.

If Wen Rui had pulled this out during the Investiture of the Gods seven hundred years ago, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Western Sect, along with their magical treasures, would have been reduced to ashes with a wave of his hand. Only four saints would have been able to withstand this blow that would disintegrate everything from within.

After completing the analysis, Wen Rui's gaze fell on the last target bio-robot.

It was a bio-engineered immortal robot equipped with a "primordial spirit sealing core". Unlike the other two robots that simulated immortal bodies, this robot's target brain sealing array contained a genuine golden immortal primordial spirit.

This immortal bio-robot is specially made. Its body was created using the lotus body-shaping method of the Chan Sect and the "Nine Heavens Breath Soil" as a substrate, making it almost equivalent to an immortal whose physical body was reconstructed after death.

The head of the target is embedded with a primordial spirit sealing jar, which is emitting a pale golden light.

"Wen Rui, you'll die a horrible death! I'll haunt you even as a ghost..."

As soon as the specially designed robot was started, it emitted a sharp roar.

"The third round of testing has begun: the target modification is complete, the core is equipped with the Red Essence Primordial Spirit (Golden Immortal level), the quantum seal release threshold is set to 'physical damage rate 80%', the locker is switched to 'high-level primordial spirit phase tracking mode', and the strength of the nano-constraint layer is increased to 95%." Wen Rui ignored the defeated dog's barking and coldly announced the official start of the experiment.

As the saying goes, everything should be put to good use. Although Wen Rui is rich and powerful, he only has one living Golden Immortal Primordial Spirit. Rather than creating a virtual Primordial Spirit, it would be better to pull Chi Jingzi out of the Six Soul Banner and let him have a go, so that he can contribute his remaining energy to the liberation of all living beings in the prehistoric world.

Even though he was unwilling and his curses were endless, the bio-immortal body carrying Chi Jingzi's primordial spirit was very obedient. Under Wen Rui's instructions, he flew to the bullseye mark in the test field and obediently waited to be hit by a spatial phase lock.

The "Sky Locker-I" has been rebuilt, and this time the blue sphere has added six pale gold detection beams to scan the target's surrounding Golden Immortal-level primordial spirit fluctuations in real time.

Unlike the simulated primordial spirit, Chi Jingzi's primordial spirit comes with "fragments of the laws of heaven" and "blessings of fortune". Its information field phase is more complex and can even slightly distort the surrounding space. The detection beam needs to continuously adjust its frequency to track it stably.

"Phase One: Physical Disintegration and Unsealing of the Primordial Spirit"

"Wait, what are you going to do to me, you demon?" The bio-engineered immortal's tone turned panicked.

Wen Rui opened the connection between Chi Jingzi's primordial spirit and the five senses and six consciousnesses of the biochemical body. All the pain felt by the physical body can be directly fed back to the primordial spirit. The primordial spirit also has all the senses such as "hearing, seeing, smelling, and touching", and can even speak, but it does not have the control over the movement of the body.

This was absolutely not Wen Rui being petty and abusing prisoners; it was simply to ensure the authenticity of the experiment and to recreate the scene of attacking a living Golden Immortal as accurately as possible.

As early as when Wen Rui was conducting the first and second rounds of testing, Chi Jingzi's primordial spirit had already awakened and witnessed the entire experimental process.

He naturally had no idea what kind of bizarre "Heaven-Severing Secret Technique" or "Creation Divine Power" Wen Rui was using, but seeing the destructive effect of that evil technique on the immortal's physical body and magical treasures, he was already terrified.

So cruel!

Too domineering!

So evil!

"no, do not want……"

Amidst the helpless cries of the red sperm, the anchoring field was suddenly activated, and a pale blue light membrane instantly enveloped the target.

The physical body reshaped by the Nine Heavens Breath Soil disintegrated even faster than ordinary armor under the phase lock of matter. The Nine Heavens Breath Soil was originally a spiritual material that relied on immortal power to maintain its form. The phase lock severed its hidden connection with the primordial spirit of Chi Jingzi. Cracks quickly appeared on the surface of the body, and it disintegrated into fragments within 0.3 seconds, revealing the primordial spirit sealing jar on the head.

When the physical damage rate exceeded 80%, the sealing jar suddenly made a crisp "crack" sound, and the pale golden light broke through the mouth of the jar, turning into a stream of light and escaping out of the meteorite crater.

Chi Jingzi's primordial spirit was indeed extraordinary, with an escape speed of 0.12 times the speed of light, which was three points faster than most flying swords. The light mist also contained the "purple mist and golden light" of the Golden Immortal level, attempting to tear through space and leap to escape. This was the core divine power of the immortal's primordial spirit when escaping, "Void Escape".

When an immortal's physical body is destroyed and their primordial spirit escapes, even if the opponent is prepared, they will not be able to intercept it. This is because the primordial spirit is non-material and its mass is infinitely close to zero. The primordial spirit can escape at sub-light speed, and with the acceleration of the remaining immortal power, it can exceed the speed of light and escape across the void.
