Wet viviparity

Chapter 874 Great Talent, Chaotic Being
The Moonlight Heavenly Robe and Spirit Ribbon shone brightly on Niu Jinniu's body, and dazzling starlight enveloped him. He crossed his arms in front of him, assuming a purely defensive posture.

“Since the ‘form and movement’ during an attack can be disturbed, I will stand still, guard my fundamental principles, and have no thought of attacking whatsoever. Let’s see how this small thought can shake my great thought of stillness.”

Niu Jinniu thought to himself.

He has already grasped the key points of this method and is about to find a way to break it.

This is the last and most profound time for him to perceive the mystery of controlling thought with form. He knows that the immortal before him will allow him to experience it deeply, and the other party also wants to know the limits of his cultivation as a resurrected demon.

"The correct approach!"

Niu Jinniu said to Lu Zhenjun.

"To deal with an unfamiliar old relic like me, you should conduct some necessary tests to force out my methods to the greatest extent possible, so that your magic-forged object can use its strengths to control my weaknesses."

Sure enough, when Lu Zhenjun's double pupils flashed slightly, Niu Jinniu felt his firm and unwavering resolve begin to waver.

"Defense is ultimately passive, so why not use offense instead of defense?"

"If we keep playing defense, won't we become a laughing stock?"

"."

Niu Jinniu's body shook violently, as if a mountain had been pushed. The entire Forbidden Mountain, which stretched for hundreds of miles, began to sway. The dome above was affected by the earthquake, and a large area collapsed. It seemed that the space thousands of feet below could be crushed by the collapsing rocks at any moment.

"It can even erode the mind of stillness; it's practically all-pervasive."

Niu Jinniu's voice carried a hint of fear, then he laughed and said, "But I understood it too!"

Niu Jinniu suddenly let out a long howl, his crimson face filled with only anger. "Your magic is not invincible. It needs to rely on my 'Form and Movement.' Without 'Form and Movement,' your 'Minor Thoughts' have nowhere to attach themselves."

Or, to put it another way, if my 'movement' is not driven by 'thought,' but by something else…

Before he finished speaking, Niu Jinniu's massive body trembled violently, the light in his eyes suddenly went out, and his entire aura instantly became completely "empty," as if he had become a soulless shell.

Then, he raised his hand again.

But this time, the arm's movement was completely devoid of any intentional fluctuation, like a puppet being pulled by invisible strings, or a natural movement influenced by the stars, just as the moon's radiance can make ignorant spirits sit in meditation and exhale in the deep mountains, or as the movement of Mars causes the celestial phenomena to become disordered, and turmoil naturally arises in heaven and on earth.

He entrusted his physical movements to the natural "reflections" produced by the body under the influence of the stars.

When that arm was raised, the movement was very slow, and under everyone's gaze, it was once again aimed at Ji Ming.

"It's me again!"

Ji Ming's face fell, and he thought to himself.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyuan's body had been restored. He used the clear light moon wheel transformed from the Su Yue Bi to block Ji Ming's body. He looked at the full divine infant who had barely pieced together the eight pieces of his body and said, "I didn't expect that the body of the demon god was stronger than the true body of the roc that I cultivated. If I were cut into eight pieces, even if I didn't die, I would become a living pile of minced meat."

Ji Ming and Zhang Xiaoyuan both understood that Niu Jinniu's repeated attacks were not in vain; he had clearly figured out the trick.

Zhang Xiaoyuan, however, trusted Lu Zhenjun implicitly and did not believe that this time would be any different from the previous times. But Ji Ming was not used to blindly trusting others in matters of life and death, even if that person was Lu Zhenjun.

However, perhaps because he had been through so much stimulation, he was almost used to this life-or-death situation, and even made an inappropriate joke to Zhang Xiaoyuan: "You two are old colleagues, why don't you go up and persuade him to surrender? After all, times have changed."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was surprised that Ji Ming still had the mind to tease him at this time. He was both impressed and annoyed, and said, "I'm not familiar with him."

As he spoke, he laughed and said, "He was quite familiar with Old Golden Rooster. They were both among the Upper Realm cultivators. If he hadn't died back then, he would at least have cultivated the Divine True Path like Old Golden Rooster and obtained the Dao Fruit in one fell swoop."

"What supernatural powers does he possess?"

"It's different, it's different. Although he has been resurrected in a different way and regained the Star God Technique of yesteryear, his inner essence is still that of the Eastern Buddhist lineage, the Du Luo deity. The techniques he is currently using are all techniques for summoning the Du Luo deity."

As the two spoke, Man Shenying let out a long howl, and his shattered body vanished underground. He could no longer withstand such an attack. Even knowing that this technique would surely kill him and that there was no way to avoid it, he still had to try his best. Lu Zhenjun's double pupils contracted violently. He had not expected that Niu Jinniu could find such a subtle state to launch an attack in such a short time, attempting to fundamentally avoid the interference of the "Great and Small Thought Shifting Spiritual Technique".

Just as the platinum beam was about to strike the two people "chatting" on the divine chariot, Lu Zhenjun finally raised his hand, his fingers like a sword, and chopped down heavily in front of him. Then he suddenly stopped, and a "thump" was heard, which was the sound of a drum.

The platinum thread of light extending from Niu Jinniu's clenched palm stopped beside the divine chariot, no more than two palms' distance from Ji Ming and Zhang Xiaoyuan.

Niu Jinniu trembled violently, his "empty" state was forcibly broken, and a look of astonishment flashed across his crimson face. The platinum thread of light that had stopped beside Ji Ming was swallowed and decomposed by the clear light of the Su Yue Bi just before it touched it, and dissipated into the air.

In his gaze as he looked at the trembling drums behind the Chaos God General, he revealed a greater surprise, or rather, shock, than witnessing the Mind-Shifting Technique.

"Great talent!"

Niu Jinniu couldn't help but exclaim.

"Can you really control such a chaotic and unpredictable object?"

For some reason, Lu Zhenjun, who rarely spoke much during magical duels, actually said a few extra words in front of Niu Jinniu.

"The laws or objects I create can hardly surpass the limits of my imagination. Their possibilities are always at the edge of the known. Only a faceless and aimless god or monster like Chaos possesses the unknown light within the chaos."

This is what I pursue in my cultivation method, and it is my only path—the chaotic creations beyond my control, the pursuit of chaos beyond Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

As soon as he finished speaking, a body with two heads and four arms fell like a meteorite, landing with a loud thud beside Niu Jinniu.

When Niu Jinniu noticed the fog curtain tucked under the newcomer's arm, he laughed and said, "I've changed my mind. I want to see this new era, to understand it anew, to appreciate new scenery, and to see which old friends are still alive."

"It's nothing but an excuse to avoid war!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan snorted coldly.

“You could say that,” Niu Jinniu said without hesitation, then added to Lu Zhenjun, “I hope to witness the chaotic potential within you in the future.”

"And yours too."

Niu Jinniu looked at Ji Ming one last time and said in a concise tone, "Never let this Ruyi go to waste. Understand that the first person in the world to use a treasure of this design was the King Huang."

"Leave me here."

Prajna Nun spoke from within the Buddha's light, clasping her hands together and saying, "Benefactor, this place has been marked with a boundary; you cannot leave."

Everyone understood that the nun's words were a reminder to Lu Zhenjun, reminding him of the only person here who could rival Niu Jinniu.

Lu Zhenjun frowned slightly, and with a thought, the two-headed, four-armed golden body that had transformed from a cocoon into a pupal moved, revealing the mist curtain hidden under its ribs. Unexpectedly, a semi-transparent curtain fell down, surrounding Niu Jinniu.

"Then, see you in the future."

Behind the curtain, Niu Jinniu's last voice was heard, but when the fog lifted, he had vanished without a trace.

"it's over?!"

Master Xuanying plopped down in the mud, his body ablaze with the Three Bright Flames, his old legs crossed without any regard for appearances, puffing on his pipe.

The two old men, Long and Hu, exchanged a glance, breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief, and then looked up at the dome above, as if their gazes had pierced through the barrier and reached the Jade Platform in the Heavenly Palace.

"Cousin, you'll have to take up the mantle of justice in Tiannan from now on."

Zhang Xiaoyuan sat down next to Ji Ming, looked up and met Ji Ming's gaze, and said in a low voice, "Your battlefield will be on another level, and the fates of countless mortals and cultivators will change according to your will."
