CHAPTER 174: CHAPTER 173: PROFOUND UNITY TRUE INTENT

The fierce Tiger Demon Fiend, with bony wings on its back, let out an earth-shattering roar, attempting to muster its remaining strength to resist the assimilation of the Great Dao.

However, just as it made a move, those ghastly white bone wings began to peel off piece by piece, dissipating into light particles in the void. The fur on the tiger’s body withered like dry grass, revealing the blood and flesh underneath that was dissolving. The swirling Chong Ghosts emitted mournful howls under the golden light, dispersing into nothingness like smoke.

The rotting flesh demon fiend seemed like boiling black water under this force, and the malice that had once solidified within it rose as wisps of black smoke in the golden light. Countless twisted faces of agony emerged and dissipated within, as if a thousand bitter nightmares were returning to the world.

The last Spider Demon Fiend’s hideous body began to crumble layer by layer, the human faces on its body screaming silently as they peeled off like withering petals. Its eight human hands flailed futilely in the void, forced to watch its existence being assimilated by the Great Dao. Its blackened shell shattered into countless fragments, turning to nothingness in the golden light.

The three Peak of Foundation Establishment demon fiends, moments later, only left behind some remnants of flesh.

Lu Yan knew that the reason this flesh remained was because these demon fiends hadn’t completed a true transformation; parts of their bodies were not in accordance with the Path of Heaven and Earth.

If the demon fiends’ bodies were entirely polluted by the Path of Heaven and Earth, once the assimilation of the Great Dao began, nothing would remain of them.

With a wave of his hand, destroying three powerful demon fiends, the Giant Spirit God looked at Lu Yan with eyes full of astonishment and reverence.

"As expected of our master, mastering the True Intent of the Great Dao so easily!"

Blood God couldn’t help but speak up: "Even when we deploy the Array, it is difficult to counter these demon fiends, yet we only end up hindering our master."

The Dharma Protector stood silently behind Lu Yan.

It’s no wonder that the three deity guardians felt this way, as the difference brought by the version change was too significant.

In the urban version, the three deity guardians were undoubtedly deities of the current world, and at that time, Lu Yan hadn’t yet advanced to Foundation Establishment and relied on the abilities of the deity guardians.

But just after entering the demon version, facing the endless onslaught of demon fiends, the deity guardians and their commanded Yin Soldiers could only barely fend them off, needing Lu Yan to take action to eliminate them, leaving the three deity guardians somewhat ashamed.

Lu Yan understood the mindset of the three deity guardians and after a brief thought, he said:

"It’s not your fault. These demon fiends have grasped the True Intent of the Great Dao, employing bizarre tactics and battle across levels isn’t impossible for them.

This world’s Great Dao is too special, and cultivating other techniques would only lead to a disadvantage."

"But you needn’t worry too much; I will find a True Technique without side effects for you. Once you master it, you too can grasp the True Intent of the Great Dao.

As long as there’s a technique at the same level to restrain their Great Dao’s true intent, these demon fiends, due to not cultivating themselves, will be several times weaker than those at the same level. At that time, you will be able to easily slay them."

The three deity guardians immediately relaxed and bowed together: "Thank you, our master!"

If others in the demon version heard of this, they would certainly think Lu Yan was spouting nonsense, as a True Technique without side effects is almost impossible.

But in the eyes of the three deity guardians, whatever Lu Yan said would surely be done.

The Giant Spirit God’s gaze swept over the chaotic battlefield, with the remains of demon fiends scattered on the ground, leaving only piles of rotten flesh.

Ordinary demon fiends would gradually return to the world after death, holding no useful value.

"Two waves of demon fiends have already attacked this region; our master should relocate promptly."

Lu Yan shook his head and said:

"The demon fiends highly value True Techniques, especially those that appear on the Heaven and Earth True Technique List with those Seventeen True Techniques.

Some demon fiends seem to have sensed my presence through some method and I must find a way to block their perception of me, or else demon fiends will keep coming no matter where I go."

"Does our master have a countermeasure?"

Lu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Protect me for a moment."

As he spoke, Lu Yan sat down cross-legged again.

In his Sea of Consciousness, reflecting on the True Technique, Lu Yan chose another manual to attempt to understand the Path of Heaven and Earth.

This True Technique was called: "Lightless Dust Method."

...

A few hundred miles away, a Peng Demon Fiend, with a terrifying appearance, slowly spread its wings, each feather shimmering with an ominous dark golden light, like countless ghostly eyes peering in the darkness.

With each flap of its wings, the Peng Demon Fiend could cross dozens of miles, leaving a long trail in the sky.

If Lu Yan were here, he would certainly notice that the True Intent mastered by the Peng Demon Fiend was the same rapid True Intent as the One-legged Giant.

And the direction this Peng Demon Fiend headed for was precisely the Desolate Mountain where Lu Yan was located.

As the Peng Demon Fiend sped forward, its body suddenly stalled, revealing a bewildered look in its eyes.

It could sense the location indicated by the stars for the True Technique suddenly disappearing at this moment, losing its original target.

It wasn’t just the Peng Demon Fiend; many other demon fiends heading towards the Desolate Mountain lost the guidance of the stars at the same time.

Meanwhile, in the Desolate Mountain, Lu Yan slowly merged the recently seized part of the Great Dao’s true intent into the Profound Vagina Door, an obscure glimmer enveloping him, seemingly isolating him from the entire world.

To harmonize with its glow and blend with its dust, is called Profound Unity.

This Profound Unity True Intent came from the "Lightless Dust Method" that Lu Yan had just operated, able to conceal any clues on him and erase his existence.

Unless one’s cultivation far surpassed Lu Yan’s, ordinary demon fiends couldn’t possibly pierce through the Profound Unity True Intent.

The only pity was that Profound Unity True Intent could only be exhibited through the Profound Vagina Door, and Lu Yan could not manifest the Profound Vagina Door anytime he wanted, so he must keep it concealed within his body, operating it constantly.

This would undoubtedly bring a great burden, but it was the only usable method for now.

As the Profound Unity True Intent expanded, Lu Yan could distinctly sense that more than half of the demon fiend auras rushing towards the location had diminished.

Still, to avoid coming across demon fiends, Lu Yan needed to make a swift departure.

Rising slowly from his cultivation, Lu Yan picked up the Soul Banner, waving it to return the deity guardians and Yin Soldiers back to the Soul Banner.

The relics left over from crossing versions were only books and gold stained with blood, and none of the meticulously prepared Heavenly Dao Code or copies of "Heavenly Dao Discussion" remained.

Reaching out, he picked up a few pieces of blood-stained gold nearby, sensing the demonic aura fused within, he vaguely felt it might be a special material in the demon version and tucked it into his storage pouch.

As for the books left empty without the True Techniques, Lu Yan flicked his finger, turning them to ashes with Profound Yellow Merit Fire, making it impossible to trace any cause or effect.

Having completed all this, Lu Yan left the devastated Desolate Mountain.
