Chương 124: The Art of Cutting Others and Myself

"There are only 2, 633 Dao bodies of powerful beings. Does that mean that, not counting the saints, there are still more than 300 old guys from Zixiao Palace who haven't perished?"

Two thousand six hundred and thirty-three avatars of the Purple Cloud Guest were manifested and surrounded Fang Yang, but Fang Yang, who was in the encirclement, did not feel the slightest bit nervous.

He stood in the void, a layer of greenish-blue divine light rising from his body, and then a towering divine tree rose above his head.

The trunk of the divine tree is as thick as a pillar of heaven, its branches deeply embedded in the void, extending to all the heavens and myriad worlds, and its thick roots flutter like giant blue dragons.

This sacred tree is the Tree of the World.

The World Tree spread its branches, opening up a void, where a turquoise divine light flowed, forming a huge spherical membrane.

Boom boom boom!

Two thousand six hundred and thirty-three powerful beings unleashed their unparalleled divine abilities, forming a river of divine powers that roared and surged toward Fang Yang.

If these supernatural powers were used by their masters, each one would possess the power to destroy the heavens and the earth and recreate the universe.

Although this is a manifestation of the Daoist Ran Deng's power, which is being performed by Daoist Ran Deng with the help of the Daoist aura left in the world by powerful beings, its power should not be underestimated.

The next moment, the attacks of 2, 633 powerful beings landed on the surface of the membrane of heaven and earth.

This strike was earth-shattering.

The river of fate ceased to flow upon this strike, the laws of heaven and earth froze in that instant, and endless destructive energy relentlessly assaulted the void.

The attack landed on the surface of the Heaven and Earth membrane, causing it to shake like jelly, as if it would break through Fang Yang's defenses at any moment.

However, it didn't happen. To the incredulous gaze of the Burning Lamp Daoist, the World Membrane remained unharmed and withstood the attack.

After the two thousand six hundred and thirty-three kinds of supernatural powers attacked the membrane of heaven and earth, the divine light flowing on the membrane of heaven and earth actually caused these supernatural powers to conflict with each other, cancel each other out, and finally disappear into nothingness!

"That's impossible!"

The Taoist Ran Deng was so angry he almost spat blood; his eyes were practically glowing green with rage.

Originally, he used this divine technique to buy himself a million years. Even if he was overtaken by the younger generation, he still wanted to attain quasi-sainthood within a million years.

Therefore, he released the powerful Daoist essence he had collected over countless years and unleashed this attack.

Based on the amount of Daoist essence he has collected, he can only use this divine technique seven times. After seven uses, the Daoist essence will be exhausted, and he will no longer be able to use this divine technique.

But he used it anyway.

Having expended so much of his Daoist energy, Daoist Ran Deng was already quite distressed. Unexpectedly, even after using his ultimate techniques, he still couldn't defeat Fang Yang.

How could the Taoist Ran Deng not be angry and furious?

"Senior Brother Ran Deng, you truly keep your word. I have witnessed your cultivation. I also possess a divine technique that I would like to request your appraisal."

As soon as Fang Yang finished speaking, the World Tree trembled slightly, and with a rustling sound, leaves fell one by one.

Leaves fall from the World Tree, grow in the wind, and, enveloped in clusters of light, transform into towering figures.

These figures all share the same face, displaying joy or sorrow, yet each exudes a different aura of law.

Their auras were incredibly powerful; they were all at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals!

Three thousand Fang Yangs were created by Fang Yang. As soon as they appeared, they flew out of the protection of the World Tree and attacked the Burning Lamp Daoist.

In an instant, the three thousand Fang Yangs were engaged in battle with the guest Daoist from Zixiao Palace, who had been transformed by the Burning Lamp Daoist.

Nearly six thousand powerful beings at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals fought together, causing the starry sky to tremble, the sun and moon to perish, and all life in the ten directions to be wiped out.

All the powerful figures present were astonished by the divine power Fang Yang displayed, including the sages. The other powerful figures were shocked because they couldn't see through the details of Fang Yang's divine power, while the sages were deeply moved because they saw the profound mystery of this divine power.

"Terrifying, absolutely terrifying! Fang Yang has only just attained enlightenment, yet he has already comprehended such a powerful divine ability."

"Although the strength of these physical bodies is far inferior to Fang Yang's original body, each of them has reached the Great Luo level. Based on this alone, the power of this divine ability is no less than that of Daoist Ran Deng."

The powerful figures from all sides stared intently at Fang Yang's "others and ourselves," marveling at his Daoist arts. They had cultivated for countless years and had never seen such a terrifying junior.

Even the sages were amazed by Fang Yang's comprehension.

This is because the Taoist technique Fang Yang used was not a heretical or unorthodox method; it was a Taoist technique from the Xuanmen (Mysterious Sect). Every Xuanmen master above the Quasi-Saint realm had comprehended this technique.

This Taoist technique is called the Technique of Severing the Three Corpses.

However, Fang Yang didn't sever the three corpses, but rather himself!

Fang Yang used the technique of severing the three corpses to cut out the other self that had been contained on the leaves of the World Tree.

The technique of severing oneself from others runs counter to the Great Luo attainment method of Hongjun Immortal Path, yet it is combined with the technique of severing the three corpses.

This phenomenon indicates that Fang Yang has thoroughly mastered the supernatural powers of the Xuanmen sect. He has grasped the underlying principles, which is why he can use them with such ease.

"It's truly a cause for celebration that such a talented person has emerged from Senior Brother Tongtian's tutelage. I believe even our teacher would be pleased to know this."

The Sage who guided the way sighed deeply and spoke with envy.

How he wished that one of his disciples would be like Fang Yang! Then, the rise of the Western Sect would be just around the corner. Unfortunately, Fang Yang and the Western Sect were not destined to be together.

When Fang Yang was at his lowest point and most in need of support, it was the Jie Sect that gave him the opportunity to rise. The Western Sect missed this opportunity and could no longer bring Fang Yang into their fold.

The Tongtian Sect Leader's feelings were equally complicated.

The more outstanding Fang Yang was, the more he thought of Daoist Duobao. He so wished that the strengths of Fang Yang and Daoist Duobao could be combined.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was worried about Duobao Daoist. He knew that if Duobao Daoist offended Fang Yang, he would definitely suffer Fang Yang's retaliation.

Previously, the difference in strength between Fang Yang and Daoist Duobao was obvious, so the Tongtian Sect Leader wouldn't have worried unnecessarily. But now, the Tongtian Sect Leader has no choice but to be concerned.

When Fang Yang dealt with the Seven Immortals of Penglai, the Tongtian Sect Leader could remain a bystander. However, if Fang Yang were to deal with Duobao Daoren, the Tongtian Sect Leader would not be able to sit idly by.

"Or perhaps I could establish another lineage outside of the Jie Sect, so that these two lineages remain completely independent?"

For the sake of harmony among his disciples, the Tongtian Sect Leader had another idea in mind.

The discord between Fang Yang and Daoist Duobao stemmed from their differing attitudes towards the Jie Sect. Once either of them ceased to be a disciple of the Jie Sect, all problems would be resolved.

"No, no, it's not fair to Fang Yang's disciple like this."

After pondering for a while, the Tongtian Sect Leader finally gave up. He realized that it would be unfair to Fang Yang to let anyone leave the Jie Sect.

When Duobao Daoren left the Jie Sect, it was as if he was leaving the mess of the Jie Sect to Fang Yang.

It's important to understand that Duobao Daoist played a crucial role in the current predicament of the Jie Sect. After creating the problem, he simply walked away without paying any price. Doesn't this make Fang Yang the scapegoat?

If Fang Yang were to leave the Jie Sect, what would be the point of all the effort he had put into it?

Unbeknownst to him, Fang Yang's status in the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Leader had risen to the same level as that of Duobao Daoren.
