Pure Yang!

Chapter 437 Immortal and Undying! The Mortal King Descends

Just as the heavens have the sun and moon, the world has yin and yang.

The primordial spirit is innate, and the three corpses are also created by the universe, just like the two poles of heaven and earth, two sides of the same coin.

The light of Zhang Fan's primordial spirit swallowed the darkness of the shadows. The two were like yin and yang merging, constantly colliding and tearing each other apart, sparks flying, staining the green mountains.

The vast, dark moon, like the eyes of a fox, indifferently watches over the human world, observing the incredible movements of the primordial spirit amidst the turbulent mortal realm.

Rumble…

A terrifying wave radiated outwards, and where the primordial spirit shone, strange phenomena abounded.

Suddenly the sun hangs high in the sky, then night rushes in. Daylight flows like a river, and the long night passes in an instant. Flowers bloom and wither everywhere, and time changes everything.

All the myriad changes seemed to coalesce into a microcosm, erupting in the collision of Zhang Fan's primordial spirit's profound light and the dark shadows.

"what is that?"

Shen Mingchan said in a daze, "At this moment, I have a strange feeling."

Heaven and earth vanished, mountains and rivers disappeared, even his physical body was gone, only his primordial spirit remained, gazing at the light, staring at the darkness...

It seems to be from where I came from.

Like returning home.

We were bound together by life and death, and we no longer knew what heaven and earth were.

"When the heavens unleash their killing intent, stars shift and constellations change; when the earth unleashes its killing intent, dragons and snakes rise from the land..."

"When a person harbors murderous intent, the world will be turned upside down!"

Zhang Wuming's expression was solemn as he stared intently at the mysterious changes occurring in the darkness.

The "killing intent" in Taoist cultivation is the law of Yin and Yang transformation.

Once the murderous intent arises, the balance of Yin and Yang is broken.

It is only when Heaven unleashes its killing intent that the movement of stars and the regularity of celestial movements such as solar and lunar eclipses occur.

When the earth harbors deadly intent, natural phenomena such as earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis occur.

Taoist cultivation is about stealing life amidst danger and glimpsing the path to immortality amidst the imbalance of Yin and Yang.

At this moment, Zhang Fan was filled with murderous intent, his yin and yang were out of balance, like the rising and setting of the sun and moon, like a battle between heaven and man.

Rumble…

Zhang Fan's primordial spirit shone brightly, a light brighter than ever before, as if it were the ultimate sublimation of his life, illuminating everything and sweeping away all obstacles.

That light extinguished the brilliance of all the primordial spirits.

Shen Mingchan was in a daze, his eyes filled with endless infatuation. He had never seen a primordial spirit shine so brightly!

"kill!"

"Kill! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At this moment, Zhang Fan had only one belief in his heart: an eternal killing intent.

He could suppress all other thoughts, but this murderous thought could not be eradicated.

With this murderous intent amplifying his killing intent, the radiance of his primordial spirit reached its peak.

Suddenly, the radiance overwhelmed the darkness.

Zhang Fan's primordial spirit actually swallowed that strange shadow whole.

"It's done?" Zhang Wuming's eyes suddenly lit up.

Rumble…

At that moment, Zhang Fan's primordial spirit suddenly expanded, becoming more than ten times larger than before.

"Zhang Fan, you are me, and I am you..."

"No one in this world can 'eat' themselves."

Suddenly, a chilling voice emanated from Zhang Fan's primordial spirit, eerie and unpredictable, shaking heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fan's primordial spirit trembled, and the eerie shadow slowly evaporated, gathering three feet above his head and transforming back into the form that had just been swallowed.

His primordial spirit returned to its original size.

"As expected, he can't be killed!?" Zhang Fan's expression turned extremely cold.

The Three Corpses are a great calamity for heaven and earth, a great tribulation for those who aspire to immortality. They have existed since ancient times and are indestructible in life and death.

Once this calamity is accomplished, neither Heaven nor Earth can punish it!
"In this world, there is day, and there is night; there is scorching summer, and there is freezing winter..."

Just then, the eerie voice of the shadowy figure rang out, echoing in Zhang Fan's ears.

"All living beings who wish to live forever must first live like mayflies, experiencing life and death from dawn till dusk."

"Unfortunately, they don't understand this principle, and similarly..."

"The world is vast, and throughout history, all those who cultivate the Dao, once they embark on this path, are destined to face the great calamity of the Three Corpses!" the eerie shadow said coldly.

"Once the Daoist heart arises, the demonic manifestation is born!"

"If you did not have the heart to pursue the Dao, how could there have been the calamity of the Three Corpses causing disaster?"

A strange shadow approached, its form resembling a primordial spirit, and its appearance was eight or nine parts similar to Zhang Fan's, but their temperaments were worlds apart.

"There was a reason why that man was able to become the number one in the world a hundred years ago," the eerie shadow whispered.

Standing there, he was like an immortal god.

"Zhang Fan, today I'll show you what the true Three Corpses Illuminating Fate really is!"

The eerie shadow took a step and appeared in front of Zhang Fan. The two were connected by a mutual attraction, sharing the same origin.

Rumble…

Almost simultaneously, Zhang Fan's primordial spirit trembled violently, and the black and white energies boiled, with terrifying fluctuations enough to crush the primordial spirit protected by the nine layers of primordial light.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Divine Demon Holy Embryo: it specializes in the Dao of the Primordial Spirit. Once the alchemy is perfected, there are no taboos, and it is enough to sweep away all Primordial Spirits.

However, the eerie shadow stood there, unmoved by any fluctuations.

He reached out one hand, moving incredibly slowly, and landed within the collective consciousness of everyone. It was as if time itself had frozen. The feeling of being displaced at that moment was extremely mysterious. By the time everyone reacted, his hand had already landed on Zhang Fan's primordial spirit.

Rumble…

The slow, deliberate movement triggered a violent collision, sparks flew, and waves surged in layers.

The black and white energies surrounding Zhang Fan's primordial spirit instantly collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, a soft "click" sound rang out. Although faint, it sounded like a thunderclap to Zhang Wuming's ears, deafening and startling.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Zhang Fan, a crack slowly appearing on his primordial spirit.

"This……"

Zhang Wuming was deeply shocked, almost beyond words.

He knew that Zhang Fan was cultivating the Divine Demon Holy Embryo. Once this method was mastered, his primordial spirit would become incredibly powerful, almost immune to all damage to his primordial spirit.

For this reason, since Zhang Fan awakened, no matter what kind of Taoist magic or supernatural power he possessed, his primordial spirit could not be harmed if it came out.

Especially after he merged with the divine, his divine and demonic embryo advanced further, and his primordial spirit became virtually indestructible.

However, in that very instant, the eerie shadow actually damaged Zhang Fan's primordial spirit.

in other words……

"His divine and demonic embryo... has been destroyed!?"

Zhang Wuming's expression turned solemn, and an unprecedented unease arose in his heart.

The terror of the Three Corpses Illuminating Fate is beyond imagination; it can actually suppress a Divine Demonic Embryo of the same level!?
"Zhang Fan, you don't actually think that by cultivating the Divine Demon Holy Embryo, your primordial spirit is truly indestructible, do you?" the eerie shadow said calmly.

hum...

Suddenly, Zhang Fan's primordial spirit vanished like lightning, disappearing into the distance and distancing itself from the eerie shadow.

The black and white energies circulated and seeped out from the crack, repairing the unprecedented rift.

The primordial spirit is innately subtle; even a slight increase or decrease has a tremendous impact.

At this moment, Zhang Fan's powerful primordial spirit was revealed. The wounds disappeared in the blink of an eye, and his aura remained undiminished, still vigorous and powerful. However, a deep solemnity was revealed in Zhang Fan's eyes at this moment.

"The fact that you were injured but not completely harmed is not entirely due to the power of the Divine Demon Holy Embryo. You should be grateful that you have mastered the Divine Splitting Technique!"

The eerie voice from the shadowy figure remained cold, but within that coldness seemed to lie a hint of mockery.

"If you don't sever the three corpses, how can you illuminate your destiny?!" Zhang Fan's eyes were cold and clear.

With a soft whisper, the black and white energies around him began to flow and boil once again.

The divine light shines upon us!

The demonic heart sinks into the abyss!

His primordial spirit became clearly distinct, and the terrifying aura was even more horrifying than before. With each breath, the boundary between the black and white energies seemed to be broken.

"Within black lies white, the mother of elixir; within the divine lies demonic essence, the sacred embryo is formed!"

Rumble…

Zhang Fan's primordial spirit clasped his hands together, the black and white merging into ashes, like a vast void, encompassing everything and giving birth to all things.

His location became the only thing in that chaotic ashes.

hum...

Suddenly, Zhang Fan's primordial spirit disappeared, and just like that strange shadow, it reappeared in front of the latter.

Both share the same origin and are mutually attracted to each other.

"The Holy Embryo of Gods and Demons!" the eerie shadow whispered.

Rumble…

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fan's primordial spirit hand had already fallen. The chaotic ashes in his palm were like a dead swamp, yet they contained great terror. As soon as they touched the eerie shadow, the latter twisted wildly and then disintegrated and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What is that?" Shen Mingchan's brow twitched.

For some reason, those chaotic ashes could annihilate even the eerie shadows that were touched by them. What if it were an ordinary primordial spirit?
Great horror!
Unthinkable!
Zhang Wuming stared intently at the scene before him, his expression blank. The black and white energies mixed and turned into powerful ashes, instantly dispelling the eerie shadows.

But there was no joy on his face.

Just as Zhang Fan said, the three corpses causing calamity will surely be a great tribulation in cultivation.

That thing can't be killed or eradicated.

Rumble…

Sure enough, after the eerie shadow dissipated, wisps of smoke rose not far away, as if seeping out from the void. Countless particles were dancing, like dust gathering together, and in an instant, they transformed back into that eerie shadow.

"Zhang Fan, you're wasting your energy; it's all for naught," the eerie shadow said coldly.

Historically, there have been cultivators with divine and demonic embryos who fought against cultivators with the Three Corpses Illuminating Fate.

"Your divine and demonic embryo cannot kill me!"

As he spoke, the eerie shadow waved his hand, and from the depths of the Cangshan Mountains, in the dense forests and secluded valleys, countless primordial spirits soared into the sky, fluttering and dancing like fireflies in the night.

The primordial spirit is innate. All beings are born into the mortal world. Whether they cultivate or not, the primordial spirit already exists. The only difference is whether or not it is awakened.

Insects, birds, fish, mountain spirits, wild beasts, and even the Taoist disciples guarding the mountains—their primordial spirits were all imprisoned and harvested at this moment.

Rumble…

The moment each primordial spirit touched the eerie shadow, it was like a fish entering water, merging together and becoming indistinguishable from one another.

"The mortal world is the soil that nourishes Him, and for Him especially, the primordial spirit is the great medicine refined in the mortal world."

Chu Chaoran's words echoed in Zhang Fan's ears once again.

hum...

The eerie shadow writhed incessantly, each primordial spirit becoming its nourishment. Points of fluorescent light gathered around it, enveloping it. Then, a brand new primordial spirit slowly emerged and reappeared before Zhang Fan.

"Yu Xuanji!?" Zhang Fan's expression changed drastically.

He had to admit that the Three Corpse Gods were more bizarre than he had imagined. In the mortal world, they were like rootless duckweed, but once they merged with the primordial spirit, they became extraordinary and unpredictable.

At this moment, he devoured the primordial spirits of the surrounding beings and actually recreated Yu Xuanji.

In other words, Yu Xuanji, who is in harmony with the Three Corpse Gods, is now immortal.

"Does this thing have no weaknesses?" Zhang Fan asked solemnly.

Only now did he truly realize the danger of the Three Corpses Calamity. No wonder Chu Chaoran, with his Pure Yang Limitless Realm, had been able to suppress that thing for sixty years without being able to destroy it.

"Zhang Fan, didn't I tell you you can't kill me?"

Yu Xuanji chuckled. Her primordial spirit remained powerful as ever. Deep within it, a shadow seemed to flicker, like an unparalleled being hidden in the deep sea.

"This is troublesome!" Zhang Wuming's heart skipped a beat.

Rumble…

Suddenly, Yu Xuanji's primordial spirit moved, and she flew straight towards Zhang Fan like a celestial being descending from the heavens.

The two primordial spirits collided, creating terrifying shockwaves that swept across all directions.

Yu Xuanji's primordial spirit crumbled at the touch, but the hidden shadow acted like a stabilizing force, holding her scattered primordial spirit in place. Endless nourishment was delivered, restoring her primordial spirit to its most vigorous state.

Under this impact, the eerie shadow affected Zhang Fan's primordial spirit once again, and an even more shocking crack appeared.

bang bang bang...

Yu Xuanji's primordial spirit gave Zhang Fan no chance to catch his breath.

With each collision and each harvest, all life within a one-kilometer radius was wiped out, and the eerie shadow expanded its reach once more.

Three kilometers.

Five kilometers.

ten kilometers.

The terror of the Three Corpse Gods has finally been revealed; in the mortal world, He is the great calamity for all primordial spirits.

Yu Xuanji's primordial spirit could recover to its peak at any time, but the relentless impact and the influence of the Three Corpse Gods on Zhang Fan finally caused his primordial spirit to show signs of weakening.

"The Three Corpses' Fate has suppressed the Divine Demon Holy Embryo!?" Zhang Wuming clenched his fists, his heart finally sinking to the bottom.

"Zhang Fan, I told you, we will be together in the end."

Yu Xuanji's voice mingled with the wind and echoed in my ears.

Zhang Fan felt the scene before him becoming increasingly blurry, and his primordial spirit had never felt so exhausted as it did now.

At that moment, he felt as if the sky and the earth had disappeared, the world was vast and boundless, and even his own primordial spirit had turned into black and white energies.

The black and white energies are flowing and dissipating.

In the end, it all vanished into nothingness.

That is the final destination for all beings, the end of all phenomena.

"There was something undifferentiated and complete, which existed before heaven and earth..."

Suddenly, Zhang Fan entered a strange state. His primordial spirit seemed to dissipate, and in the endless emptiness, he seemed to see a point...

A primordial singularity, like the point of the Big Bang, from which endless energy began to coalesce and fission, forming stars and matter...

This is like the mystery of cultivation: the spirit transforms into the ethereal, the spirit transforms into the vital energy, and the vital energy transforms into the physical form.

The Great Dao of Nothingness gives birth to the innate primordial spirit. When the primordial spirit disperses, it becomes qi, which then transforms into different forms and substances.

That is the true nature of the primordial spirit, the cycle of birth and death, the laws of motion...

call……

Suddenly, Zhang Fan felt as if he were about to die; his heart started beating again, and he could feel his primordial spirit once more, but...

Between the black and white, amidst the chaos, a glimmer of golden light flowed endlessly.

Within that golden light lies immortality, indestructibility, and the ultimate meaning of the supreme and noble essence of all things.

In a daze, he saw a figure in that faint golden light.

He stands above all living beings, transcending the ordinary and attaining sainthood. In the world, only the masses worship him and shout his supreme name!

King Van!
