Chapter 837 836 Borrow Without Repaying
Fairy Eternity had given a command, and Invincible Nascent Soul didn't dare to disobey.
The Invincible Nascent Soul produced a hundred-zhang Sword Qi, sweeping across the heroes, whipping up a sword wind that rustled the leaves incessantly, sounding so alarming that it made people's hearts panic.
"The Nascent Soul can actually wield such terrifying Sword Qi?" Witnessing this Sword Qi, everyone was shocked by Lu Yang's swordsmanship cultivation level and hurriedly controlled their own Nascent Souls.
Everyone, as if by agreement, chose to make their own Nascent Souls avoid the attack.
Unlike the Invincible Nascent Soul, ordinary Nascent Soul Stage cultivators couldn't fight automatically and needed to allocate a portion of their spiritual essence to battle.
This presented an opportunity for Fairy Eternity.
Seizing the moment when everyone was controlling their Nascent Souls, Fairy Eternity made a bold move; if she were a starving wolf, then these princely heirs and officials' children were merely a flock of little sheep—for the wolf amidst the sheep flock, anyone seen was attacked.
"Watch the fist!"
The Immortal Fist Technique appeared soft and gentle, yet it was filled with diverse changes and immense power.
"So this is indeed how Invincible Nascent Soul is supposed to be used. Fairy Eternity murmured to herself, "My guess was correct."
"Fairy, what did you say?" Lu Yang didn't hear what Fairy Eternity had said.
"Ah, it's nothing. I was saying that you need to focus on your cultivation and defeat your Invincible Nascent Soul as soon as possible."
"...Haven't I already defeated the Invincible Nascent Soul this way?" Lu Yang remembered Fairy Eternity saying she was his second Nascent Soul.
If the second Nascent Soul had defeated the first Nascent Soul, didn't that mean he also had defeated the first Nascent Soul?
"It can't be counted like that." Fairy Eternity was rarely so clear in her logic, explaining the reason to Lu Yang.
"You see, since I helped you defeat the Invincible Nascent Soul, it now follows my command, not yours."
"And since you must follow my command, you and the Invincible Nascent Soul are in a parallel relationship; there's no question of who commands whom."
Lu Yang understood that if he wanted to control the Invincible Nascent Soul, he had two options: either make Fairy Eternity listen to him, or defeat the Invincible Nascent Soul himself.
Compared to the two, the likelihood of the second method being successful seemed higher.
In reality, everyone was overwhelmed; the Invincible Nascent Soul's attack methods were too fierce. To prevent their own Nascent Souls from being injured, they had to concentrate on controlling them.
But once they concentrated on dealing with the Invincible Nascent Soul, no one was left to handle Fairy Eternity.
"Half of you deal with Lu Yang's Nascent Soul, and the other half deal with Lu Yang!" someone among them shouted, suggesting that to break the deadlock, they must unite their will and follow the command.
He was called Lin Zhongren, the son of the minister of the Ministry of Justice, not as outstanding as Zhong Yi and others, but also quite excellent among his peers in the Imperial City.
Now that Zhong Yi, Luo Wushuang, and Sun Chuanxian had been defeated in succession, and An Nan'er had been sitting next to Meng Jingyu with no intention of joining the battle, someone needed to step up and take charge.
Lin Zhongren came forth to command everyone, and they reluctantly accepted.
"Wait, where is Lu Yang's Nascent Soul!"
People were astonished to find that the Invincible Nascent Soul had vanished before their very eyes.
Suddenly, Lin Zhongren seemed to be hit by something and was sent flying, hanging from an ancient tree.
"It's Lu Yang's Nascent Soul; Lu Yang's Nascent Soul has turned invisible!" Someone with quick reactions guessed what Lu Yang's Nascent Soul had done.
Invincible Nascent Soul could use most of Lu Yang's moves, and during the Foundation Establishment Stage, Lu Yang had tried learning a technique called the Invisibility Charm, which only hid the body, not the clothes. Since its effects were rather limited, Lu Yang seldom used it.
But the Invincible Nascent Soul was different; it had no clothes to worry about, so the technique had nothing holding it back.
The Lin Zhongren, who wanted to take charge of the overall situation, was sent flying by the Invincible Nascent Soul, and chaos ensued again. Some people dealt with Fairy Eternity, while others looked for the Invincible Nascent Soul. In the meantime, anyone trying to take control of the crowd was also defeated by the Invincible Nascent Soul.
In the Spiritual Space, Lu Yang thought that to capture the thieves, one first captures the king, and it seemed that although the Invincible Nascent Soul lacked wisdom, it could still react most reasonably based on instinct.
The Invincible Nascent Soul, tossing out moves as if they cost nothing, simultaneously used "Swallow the Sky" to devour the spiritual essence of Luo Tian Forest.
Other people couldn't absorb spiritual essence nearly as fast as the Invincible Nascent Soul, and soon the spiritual essence of the forest was completely depleted, leaving everyone's own spiritual essence dwindling without any chance of replenishment.
Anyone who pulled out a Spirit Stone to absorb spiritual essence would also have it snatched away by the Invincible Nascent Soul.
From a distance, Meng Jingzhou who was watching the battle, smacked his thigh and exclaimed, "Old Lu's Nascent Soul is just like him, as if carved out of the same mold!"
Honestly, even he couldn't bring himself to do something so unscrupulous.
The Invincible Nascent Soul and Fairy Eternity created pressures both spiritual and physical. Even if some left the Nascent Soul alone and focused on challenging Fairy Eternity, it was futile. Fairy Eternity was too strong.
Fairy Eternity, striding like a tiger and prowling like a dragon, looked down upon the world. With one punch she topped another, "I've already said, you're no match for me."
"There is a great calamity between heaven and earth, and I was born in response to that calamity—destined by divine mandate. How could you commoners be my match?"
"However, considering you possess some minor talents, you might just qualify to be subjects of the Great Bean Dynasty."
Whether they were already on the ground or about to be, everyone was stunned by her last statement.
What the heck was the Great Bean Dynasty? They had never heard of it.
"The Great Bean Dynasty is a dynasty I am planning to establish, the rightful ruler of the world. You may address me as Empress Bean," Fairy Eternity declared.
This was the first time anyone had seen someone so brazenly declare their intention to establish a new dynasty.
She completely disregarded Great Xia.
This Lu Yang was really pushing his luck, his utter lawlessness even surpassed Daoist Buyu!
Lu Yang, with a pleading look, stared at the ceiling of the Spiritual Space, feeling his reputation was being harmed.
"Doesn't anyone wish to join my dynasty?" asked Fairy Eternity, somewhat disappointed. It seemed that only the Second-in-command wanted to join the Great Bean Dynasty.
A truly loyal subject.
With no will left to fight, everyone was violently defeated by Fairy Eternity and beat a hasty retreat.
Having recalled the Invincible Nascent Soul, Fairy Eternity stood with hands on her hips, exuberant with pride as she watched the retreating figures of the influential family heirs, laughing mockingly, "Humph, you're nowhere near my level in a fight!"
Inside the Spiritual Space, Lu Yang looked up ingratiatingly at Fairy Eternity, who sat high above, trying to negotiate.
"Your Majesty, look, the battle is over, and this body of your servant..."
But to Lu Yang's surprise, Fairy Eternity showed a look of wanting more, "This Imperial City seems quite fun. Xiao Yang, let's talk about it, can I continue using this body a bit longer?"
"Ah? That's... not very good," Lu Yang hesitated. If he let Fairy Eternity use his body again, how much worse could his reputation get?
Fairy Eternity, noticing Lu Yang's reluctance to lend his body, changed her approach, "Miss Yun promised me the position of Acting Sect Master for one year, and I've decided to use that opportunity now. As the Acting Sect Master, I now command you to surrender your body."
After returning from the East Sea, Yun Zhi thought Fairy Eternity had made a great contribution and could be Acting Sect Master for a year. At that time, Fairy Eternity had said she would use it later.
Lu Yang: "..."
So, Fairy, you kept the position of Acting Sect Master just to order me around in the future, didn't you?
"Your servant obeys," Lu Yang acquiesced.
What do you think?
