346: The flawed jade is the king (85).

Soft light engulfed the figures of Wang Yun and Gu Zhan.

The Chaos Qi, which was enough to obliterate a Saint King's Physical Body, was pushed aside by an invisible force at the edge of the light, forming a Domain of absolute safety.

Wang Yun gained a moment of respite; he immediately sat cross-legged and began to examine his own and Gu Zhan's injuries.

The situation was even worse than he had imagined.

Gu Zhan's Saint King Origin was nearly burned out, and his life aura was extremely weak; if not for that strand of Primordial Qi keeping his last breath alive, he would have already perished.

Meanwhile, Wang Yun's own Supreme Body was on the verge of collapse, every inch of flesh filled with Dao wounds corroded by Chaos Qi, and his Divine Soul was dim.

He had to find healing treasures as soon as possible, or both of them would fall here.

Wang Yun's gaze turned toward the depths of this sphere of light.

The interior of the light sphere formed its own Small World, with Sword Qi soaring to the heavens and countless sharp, matchless strands of Sword Intent crisscrossing to form a sea of swords.

He had originally thought that something capable of forming such a phenomenon deep within the Chaos must be a heaven-shaking sword Dao Legacy or a peerless, ominous sword that transcended the category of Saint Weapons.

Supporting the unconscious Gu Zhan, he braved the oncoming sword pressure and trudged with difficulty toward the core of the light sphere.

The further in he went, the more sharp the Sword Intent became.

But when Wang Yun actually reached the core area, he was stunned.

There was no sword here.

Nor was there any so-called sword Dao Legacy.

At the core of the light sphere, there was only an ancient Jade Slip, quietly suspended in the air.

Wang Yun felt a bit disappointed, but he still reached out and sent his Divine Thought into the Jade Slip.

Boom!

A vast flood of information instantly surged into his Sea of Consciousness.

Taiyi Transformation into Two Pure Ones.

This was not the supreme sword technique Wang Yun had expected, but a secret art.

What it described was an inconceivable path of the Dao, which could actually allow a Cultivator to sever a portion of their own Origin and Divine Soul to create a brand-new "Second True Self" with an independent consciousness and Physical Body.

This newborn body would have its own independent destiny and path of the Dao, allowing it to start from zero and Cultivate anew.

Wang Yun's mind was greatly shaken.

He instantly realized what this Cultivation Technique meant for him.

The Indestructible Art within his body was like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

This near-death experience in the Chaos had almost allowed that sinister will to seize his body.

He knew very well that as he grew stronger, the attraction of this Supreme Body to the Indestructible Art would also grow.

One day, he would be unable to suppress that will, and everything he possessed would become its nourishment.

The appearance of Taiyi Transformation into Two Pure Ones gave him a perfect opportunity to "shed his shell like a golden cicada."

He could fully utilize this Cultivation Technique to create a brand-new, clean body and then transfer his main consciousness over.

This was equivalent to giving him a chance to live a second life and completely escape the threat of the Indestructible Art.

He could even set a reverse trap, leaving this powerful Supreme Body as a snare for the greedy Indestructible Art's will.

Just as Wang Yun's mind was racing, pondering his future plans.

A sudden change occurred.

A cold and greedy will violently revolted from the deepest part of his body.

It was the Indestructible Art.

In the moment Wang Yun let his guard down, it broke free from its shackles once again.

And this time, its target was the unconscious Gu Zhan beside Wang Yun.

Gu Zhan's Saint King Origin, which was about to burn out, and that pure Primordial Qi were irresistible, supreme supplements for the Indestructible Art.

Wang Yun was pale with fright.

He felt an uncontrollable devouring force erupt from within him, actually attempting to directly suck dry Gu Zhan's Origin.

Wang Yun tried his best to suppress it.

But his Saint Power was tightly suppressed in this Chaos environment, making it impossible to mobilize.

He tried to call upon the azure small tower in his Sea of Consciousness, but the tower was completely dim at this moment, showing no reaction.

Seeing that Gu Zhan's already weak life aura was about to be ended by his own hands.

In despair, without the slightest hesitation, Wang Yun forcibly began to circulate the Taiyi Transformation into Two Pure Ones he had just memorized.

The Cultivation Technique was obscure and difficult to understand; in his current state, it should have been impossible to even begin.

But at the moment of life and death, his potential was squeezed to the limit.

"Differentiate!"

"Independent!"

The Profound Truths of the Cultivation Technique flowed through his Divine Soul.

A brand-new power was born from the depths of his Origin.

The attribute of this power formed a fundamental conflict with the overbearing "devouring" and "unifying" attributes of the Indestructible Art.

Boom!

Two completely different powers clashed violently within his body.

Wang Yun's Saint Body felt as if it were being torn apart, the intense pain nearly causing him to faint.

But it was precisely because of this clash that a brief balance was unexpectedly achieved.

The greedy will of the Indestructible Art was actually suppressed back by the power of the Taiyi Transformation into Two Pure Ones.

The crisis was temporarily averted.

Wang Yun panted heavily, already drenched in cold sweat.

After experiencing this riot, he fully understood that his current body was already a dangerous building that could collapse at any time.

He had to take Gu Zhan out of here immediately and return to a safe area.

Wang Yun did not dare to delay any longer; he put away the Jade Slip, supported Gu Zhan, and turned to walk out of the light sphere.

However, the moment he stepped out of the light sphere's protection with Gu Zhan.

A terrifying strike, far beyond his imagination, descended without warning from the depths of the endless Chaos.

It was an indescribable grey beam of light; it appeared so abruptly and its power was so immense.

Wherever the beam passed, even the Chaos Qi was annihilated, forming a state of absolute nothingness.

Wang Yun's Double Pupils didn't even have time to react before he felt death descending.

He could feel that if he were even grazed by this beam, his body and soul would be obliterated.

At the critical moment, Wang Yun made a decision.

He looked at the unconscious Gu Zhan beside him.

"Go!"

Wang Yun roared.

He gathered all the remaining power in his body, including the new power born from circulating the Taiyi Transformation into Two Pure Ones, into a single point and let it erupt.

With all his strength, he violently pushed Gu Zhan's body toward the exit of this Chaos.

The massive reactionary force caused his own body to inevitably face that destructive beam of light.

Boom!!!

Wang Yun felt his consciousness instantly crushed, and his Saint Body rapidly disintegrated the moment it touched the light beam.

He was swept up by an irresistible force and thrown into the deeper, more turbulent currents of the Chaos.

The original path was completely disrupted.

All connection with the outside world was severed.

In the moment before his consciousness completely faded, he seemed to see Gu Zhan's figure being sent out of this Chaos by the force he had pushed.

Then, he completely lost consciousness.

Wang Yun was left alone, completely lost in this endless, unknown Chaos that could obliterate everything.
