Who Let Him Cultivate?!

"Hundred Grass Withering Fist!"

All grass withered, trees wilted, and Yao Saint's body deflated like a punctured balloon, his vitality rapidly escaping. Even with the seemingly limitless lifespan of an Immortal, he could not withstand such a swift drain of vitality; if it continued, he might fall into the Heavenly Person Five Decays!

"[Vitality Stabilization]."

Yao Saint once again used his Verbal Spell, and the fast-depleting vitality came to an abrupt halt, replenishing what was lost from his body.

Time flowed once again, returning to normal.

"Did time just stop?"

After Yao Saint ordered time to stop, Lu Yang lost consciousness.

And certainly, Immortal Fairy and Eldest Senior Sister should not be capable of making time flow again.

The only one who could do that was Yao Saint.

If time stopped, why would Yao Saint want time to flow again?

"It seems that a later Verbal Spell can override an earlier one, or perhaps the burden of sustaining two simultaneous commands is too much for Yao Saint to bear?"

Lu Yang analyzed the situation and concluded that the Speak and Follow Dao Fruit was not invincible. First off, Yao Saint couldn't simply order effects like "[Conquer Immortal Fairy][Open Box World]"; secondly, the Verbal Spell didn't directly set rules but relied on other means to achieve its purpose; and lastly, there could only be one active [Rule] at any given moment for Yao Saint in the same space-time.

That being said, the Speak and Follow Dao Fruit was still astonishingly against the natural order. Considering the few commands Yao Saint had issued, it was as if he had access to all the powers of Dao Fruits, which is why even the four Ancient Immortals together could not defeat him.

From this perspective, altering the timeline was also an effect of Yao Saint using the Speak and Follow Dao Fruit.

"[You are abandoned by the Five Elements]."

Yao Saint issued another command, Lu Yang saw the ground beneath him transformed into the Soil of Rest, more precious even than the Soil of Rest found in the Seek Dao Sect's Medicine Garden, being the legendary Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

The Breath Soil loosened, seedlings sprouted, and in the blink of an eye turned into a colossal tree reaching into the sky!

"The Jianmu Tree?!"

The Yingtian Immortals exclaimed in shock; the tree that had broken through the soil was actually the Time Immortal's former self, the Jianmu Tree?

The physical form of Time Immortal was the heavenly-reaching Firmament Tree, and among many sentient plants, Time Immortal managed to achieve the status of an Immortal and comprehend the Time Dao Fruit, which was closely related to the Jianmu Tree.

That alone illustrated the miraculous nature of Jianmu, so much so that calling it an Immortal Tree was no exaggeration.

And in the world, there was only one Jianmu belonging to Time Immortal.

And now, Yao Saint, through the power of Verbal Spell, had conjured another Jianmu Tree!

Subsequently, a nondescript river appeared on the ground, the Weak Water River, where nothing sinks, a natural sealing material.

And when Nine Heavens Breath Soil encounters water, it swells, absorbing the Weak Water River, rapidly expanding, it also has sealing capabilities!

The Jianmu Tree grew wildly, entwining around Immortal Fairy. As she tried to break free, the swelling Nine Heavens Breath Soil crept along the Jianmu Tree upwards, sealing Immortal Fairy firmly in place, allowing only her head to show.

Immortal Fairy struggled with all her might but found the seal made from Jianmu and Nine Heavens Breath Soil to be incredibly robust, proving impossible to break free!

Then, Heavenly Fire descended, incinerating all, and the essence of the Five Elements materialized out of thin air, evolving into various Immortal Artifacts, Treasure Tripods, Gourds, Palm Fans, Jade Flutes...

Those abandoned by the Five Elements were to be executed by the Five Elements.

The expressions of Yingtian Immortals and the others drastically changed at the sight; Immortal Fairy could not avoid the attack, forced to withstand the Heavenly Fire and the Immortal Artifacts formed from the essence of the Five Elements.

No matter how powerful an Immortal, it was impossible to block this attack!

Yingtian Immortal directed Thunder Tribulation to shatter the Immortal Artifacts, which turned out to be single-use and not as durable as expected.

The Immortal Jiuchong played the world like a chessboard, defining Heavenly Fire as "Yang," and used "Yin" chess pieces to counter the Heavenly Fire.

The Qilin Immortal transformed back into its original form, roaring within the cosmos, striking at the roots of the Jianmu Tree!

While the Immortal Artifacts and Heavenly Fire continued to disappear, they also kept emerging, with no end in sight. The roots of Jianmu protected by the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, as soon as the Qilin Immortal touched the Breath Soil, the soil and the tree began to grow onto him, intending to seal him along with the rest.

Eventually, the Heavenly Fire descended, the Immortal Artifacts exploded, and the booming noise never ceased, with smoke billowing everywhere!

Suddenly, out of the smoke, an irresistible force burst forth, scattering the smoke, and the Jianmu and Breath Soil exploded, scattering fragments all around!

Fairy Eternity moved her limbs, emitting creaking noises all over, and revealed an extremely content expression.

"At last, I have fully adapted to Miss Yun's body. Your body was truly difficult to get used to!"

"Fairy Eternity, you flatter me."

Since her revival, Fairy Eternity had never felt as comfortable as at that moment, not even when she battled with Ashy Bean and conjured her Immortal Body, which wasn't as comfortable as Miss Yun's body.

Finally, she could exert her full strength!

"[Bluffing]."

As the Verbal Spell was activated, Fairy Eternity underwent no change.

Yao Saint's face turned somewhat ugly.

"Yao Saint, it seems like your Verbal Spell can't be used directly on me! Let's go again!"

"Since you were unsatisfied with your own suicide last time, this time I'll beat you to death!"

Fully adapted to her new body, Fairy Eternity's spirit shone brightly, her Qi and Blood soared to the skies, and her entire being glowed. Her dark, elegant hair fluttered with her Qi and Blood, displaying a dashing and heroic spirit. She exuded a self-assured beauty that seemed to declare her the unmatched hero of heaven and earth.

Lu Yang was suddenly moved.

The gold Immortal Fist rained down like a storm, unrestrained and domineering, each punch filled with murderous intent. Yao Saint, too, erupted with a horrifying aura, his power permeating the air, a match for Fairy Eternity's edge!

Amid the flow of Qi, Blood, and immortal power, the battle became hard to discern.

The heavens shattered and the earth cracked as both Qi, Blood, and immortal power dispersed!

Fairy Eternity was all offense and no defense, forcing Yao Saint to repeatedly retreat and leaving him no chance to even utter his Verbal Spell!

Yao Saint once again entertained the thought of retreat, but what welcomed him was Fairy Eternity's even sharper fists!

Fairy Eternity, unrivaled and supreme!

Fairy Eternity shone with a dazzling brilliance, like a stunningly beautiful fairy from ancient legends unparallel in elegance!

She took a deep breath and launched the strongest attack since the battle began!

Boom!

Crack!

Yao Saint's spine exploded inch by inch, broken bones piercing his body, causing unbearable pain!

"That feels better."

Fairy Eternity took a long breath and wiped the sweat from her forehead, releasing all her resentment for Yao Saint through her punches.

She grinned and said, "Now it's time to get serious!"

Fairy Eternity became increasingly radiant; or rather, Miss Yun's body became increasingly radiant, shining like the brilliant sun.

Apart from Jiang Pingan and Mid-heaven Emperor Lord, those present were all too familiar with Fairy Eternity's state.

She was going to self-detonate!

"Why are you reacting like this?" Jiang Pingan didn't understand why Lu Yang's expression had drastically changed.

Lu Yang had no time for lengthy explanations and quickly pulled Jiang Pingan and Mid-heaven Emperor Lord into the Green Blade Sword Small World.

The Yingtian Three Immortals also rushed headlong into the Green Blade Sword Small World.

Having entered the Green Blade Sword Small World, the Yingtian Immortal even took out several Immortal Artifacts containing small world spaces and threw them outside the Green Blade Sword, wrapping it up.

Those in the know were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief within the layers of small worlds.

For the first time in his life, Yao Saint showed an expression of disbelief.

You can self-detonate using someone else's body?!

What awaited Yao Saint was the most powerful explosion in history.

Boom——
