Chapter 980 The Robe of Seclusion
Chapter 980 The Robe of Seclusion
"Stop right there, Yuan!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the hermit felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but roar in anger.
"Tch, you think you can just stop like that!"
Without hesitation, Lu Yunhe directly separated a wisp of his primordial power to try and touch the light screen in front of him.
However, the light screen in front of him seemed to be in another world, and Lu Yunhe's source power missed its target.
"It can actually exist independently in a place like the Void."
Lu Yunhe was surprised. It seemed that this treasure was of a high level. No wonder the hermit was so excited.
The matter and energy in the Void Land are so scarce that even the Primordial Ancestor could hardly touch the deeper layers of space.
This treasure can escape into another space here, isolating itself from the influence of the void, making it undoubtedly the most top-tier treasure in the endless primordial space.
"Untouchable..."
Lu Yunhe's face showed interest. In an instant, he made a claw gesture with his hand, gathering the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos in his hand, and then reached out to grab the light screen again.
After using his highest level of power, Lu Yunhe finally vaguely touched another world. The power in his hand enveloped the light screen like a giant net, trying to pull it out of the other world.
The treasure's power is the strongest, but it has clearly not yet surpassed the highest level of power. After all, it is something born from a mysterious place, and in essence, it is still inferior to the Primordial Ancestor.
Rumble…
Space trembled, and a world seemed to be being pulled out from the deepest void.
Just then, a vast power descended upon Lu Yunhe like a giant hand, instantly causing fluctuations throughout the entire space.
Ripples spread out wildly before disappearing into the endless void.
The movement was too large, and the power of the fluctuations was too strong, causing a backlash from the entire void.
The void does not allow such powerful energy fluctuations; the stronger the energy fluctuations, the more severe the backlash from the rules they cause.
Click!
Like the sound of an unnamed thread breaking, the power of rules that Lu Yunhe had used to encircle the light curtain burst open, just like countless threads breaking apart.
Ultimately, the power of the rules shattered completely when the light curtain was pulled out to about one-third of its original size.
Having lost the pull of the power of the rules, the revealed light curtain returned to another, deeper world.
Lu Yunhe realized that the light screen in front of him was more like a projection of the real treasure in the void, and that he had to pull it out completely if he wanted to get it.
However, because it is separated by a vast world, and it is a special world like the Void, the difficulty of capturing it, in addition to the size of the treasure itself, also requires a subtle struggle against the entire Void.
The Void, as part of the Eternal Land, possesses power that the Primordial Ancestor could not contend with.
Even a fraction of the Eternal Land's size far surpasses that of many mysterious lands.
Just like the Three Harmony Territory refined by Lu Yunhe, it's not even comparable to the Eternal Land, let alone the Void Land before us.
"Failed!"
Lu Yunhe clenched his fist, carefully sensing the collision and fluctuations of the three forces—himself, the light screen treasure, and the void—that had just intertwined.
Lu Yunhe, who was backed by cultivators, was not so concerned about treasures; instead, he was more interested in the impact on the Great Dao.
Resources, treasures, and even mysterious places are unimportant to cultivators; what matters is the Great Dao.
However, for the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan, perhaps because he was born at the top of the world, he valued external things even more.
Yes, because these things really do make them stronger.
"Phew, failed!"
The hermit on the other side watched Lu Yunhe's actions, feeling relieved but also somewhat regretful.
He stayed there for a long time, trying various methods, but still couldn't pull the light curtain out of the depths of the void.
The lack of hope for success caused the hermit great distress.
The sudden appearance of the Lord's Source also brought a glimmer of hope to the Hermit. After all, between not being able to obtain it at all and trying to snatch it, the latter has a greater chance of success.
However, the fact that the Lord Source pulled out a third of it still startled the Hermit.
"It seems you've failed too, Yuan." The hermit's gray mist-like body, which blotted out the sky, reassembled and landed beside Lu Yunhe.
Lu Yunhe ignored the hermit's words and instead used the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos to condense a hand of rules, reaching out to grab the light screen in front of him.
Rumble…
The void was trembling, the rules were collapsing, and even the power of the Great Dao was being obliterated.
The light screen was pulled out from another world again, but this time Lu Yunhe did not wait for the collapse of the power of the rules. Instead, after pulling out a section of the light screen, he took the initiative to return the treasure.
Like a suitcase puller, it kept dragging, but in the end, it could not avoid the backlash from the void. The power of the greatsword in its hand was worn away and merged into the void.
"What does he want to do?"
The hermit watched Lu Yunhe's movements with intense concentration, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.
After all, cultivator lords in the Endless Chaotic Origin Space are known for their powerful talents and exceptional comprehension.
Even as enemies, they had to admit the powerful talent of cultivator lords, which was different from bloodline and birth, but rather a talent in spiritual enlightenment.
If the Primordial Ancestors of Hunyuan couldn't do it, then the Cultivator Lords might still be able to.
"Could it be that Lord Yuan has discovered something?" The hermit's emotions were complicated, unsure whether he should have any expectations.
After truly clashing with the cultivator lord, even the hermit was amazed by this miraculous person.
The existence of someone who grew from a weak mortal to a powerful being was beyond their imagination.
“Yuan, you’ve seen how troublesome this treasure is, haven’t you? Perhaps we can work together to materialize it first, what do you say?” the hermit said.
He wasted a great deal of time and energy on this treasure, and saw no hope of success.
If too much time is wasted, even if he has a high degree of adaptability to this environment, he will eventually be worn down.
In the Eternal Land, apart from that continent, once the location is lost, finding this treasure again is practically a pipe dream.
It's better to give it another shot than to fail in the end.
Most importantly, the hermit realized that he couldn't stop the Lord Source at all; the mere fact that he had been allowed to appear here meant he had already lost.
If the fight continues, it will only result in mutual destruction. Therefore, we can only choose a less bad future.
"cooperate!"
Lu Yunhe withdrew the power from his hand and focused his gaze on the hermit not far away.
“That’s right.” The hermit nodded. “Or are you confident that you can obtain this treasure on your own?”
The hermit's gaze was somewhat aggressive, his large single eye fixed on Lu Yunhe.
"After all, it's just an inanimate object. If we had enough time," Lu Yunhe calculated, and realized that it didn't seem like a very worthwhile investment for a treasure.
“We can cooperate, but I would appreciate it if you would provide me with a sample of your flesh and blood.” Lu Yunhe said. “Flesh and blood!”
The hermit frowned upon hearing this. Anyone who has entered the world of cultivation values their own flesh and blood and would not easily let it fall into the hands of others.
But if you ask me what you can actually do with these things? Not really.
Especially for immortal beings, the impact is even less; often, it's more about saving face than actually doing anything.
"can!"
The hermit pondered for a moment, then slowly cut off a piece of black mist and handed it to Lu Yunhe.
"Thank you..."
Lu Yunhe instantly sealed it completely and then sent it into his body.
Even a tiny bit of the flesh and blood of the Primordial Ancestor is incredibly precious, given how extremely difficult it is to obtain.
Aside from not having enough time to react, even in death, the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan was unwilling to let his body fall into the hands of the enemy.
"Bloodline properties, regular structure, fundamental evolution..."
Although it is just a physical substance, the primordial life is one in ten thousand, and every strand of origin contains complete information.
"Not bad!"
Lu Yunhe's consciousness accelerated as he rapidly imitated and deduced this origin, comprehending the profound truths contained within it.
"Lord of the Source, now you can speak your mind!" The hermit suppressed the urge to annihilate that matter and spoke calmly.
But for some reason, a faint sense of regret also arose in my heart.
“I do have some ideas, but I still need your help, Hermit, to drag it along!” Lu Yunhe said, a smile appearing on his lips.
"no problem!"
The hermit immediately agreed. In fact, the moment he saw Lord Yuan, he was thinking that he couldn't pull that world out by his own strength, but what if the two top-level Primordial Ancestors joined forces?
One Primordial Ancestor possesses world-destroying power; the combined power of two Primordial Ancestors, especially those at the Eternal level, is beyond imagination.
"Then let's attack together!"
Lu Yunhe and the hermit stood on opposite sides of the void, one on the left and one on the right.
In an instant, a pair of hands of rules reached into the void and grabbed at the light screen.
On the other side, chains of gray mist also pierced into the void, binding the invisible and intangible light curtain.
click!
Then, the two Primordial Ancestors worked together, and the treasure hidden in another world was pulled out once again.
In just a few moments, half of the light screen was forcibly dragged away.
Upon seeing this, the hermit was overjoyed. He became highly focused and dared not be careless in the slightest. At this moment, he finally saw the possibility of success.
"Give it your all!"
As the hermit's inner essence circulated, chains shot out from his body once more, binding the light curtain firmly to the void with himself as the origin.
The treasure hasn't been retrieved from the pot yet, so the hermit shouldn't be holding us back at this crucial moment.
Rumble…
The full force of the two Primordial Ancestors caused the Void Land to tremble, and the backlash and suppression from the Void World also came frantically, trying to annihilate and digest the power that had erupted.
This time, however, the Hermit was not fighting alone. He had another Primordial Ancestor sharing the burden, which reduced his energy expenditure considerably.
However, even with his full power, the primal energy within his body still leaked out uncontrollably and was absorbed by the void.
At this moment, the cultivator's control is highlighted. He can exert all his strength while still having the power to protect himself, while the hermit is obviously having some difficulty controlling the consumption of his own essence.
"Could Lord Yuan have done this on purpose?" The hermit looked at Lord Yuan's calm expression and wondered if he had fallen into a trap set by the cultivators.
Compared to the Lord's Source, few ancestors in the entire Endless Chaotic Origin Space have the same confidence in the sheer abundance of their origin.
Once his source energy is depleted, he will inevitably be at a disadvantage when competing for treasures, and the hermit became somewhat anxious.
However, in this step, the hermit really misunderstood Lu Yunhe, who was also doing his best to drag the light screen world.
With the efforts of these two Primordial Ancestors, the light screen was gradually pulled out, and soon three-quarters of it was pulled out.
"It's about to succeed!"
Seeing this, the hermit was also somewhat excited, and his one eye closed and closed.
At the same time, his thoughts subtly shifted, and he began to focus some of his attention on Lord Yuan, which led to a scene that left the hermit speechless.
Just moments ago, Lu Yunhe was pulling with all his might, but suddenly his whole body transformed into an invisible stream of light, crashing directly into the light barrier to the astonished look of the hermit.
"Damn source..."
The hermit roared in fury, and was about to make a move, but Lu Yunhe's actions were too fast and beyond his comprehension. He couldn't stop him in time and could only watch helplessly as Lu Yunhe fell into the world of light.
Having lost the power of one of the Primordial Ancestors, the light curtain world, which was about to be pulled into the void, quickly shrank back in.
Click...click...
One by one, the gray mist chains shattered, turning into a faint mist that proclaimed the hermit's wrath.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how did he do that?"
The hermit waved his chains resentfully, tearing at the surrounding space like a furious octopus, but it did nothing but needlessly deplete his own life force.
zizi...
At the same time, the light screen, which was about to completely retract, suddenly stopped, like a broken cassette tape.
The colors that were originally like polar light have now become mixed and released a large amount of light.
"Get out here, Yuan!"
The hermit roared and launched an attack on the light barrier without hesitation.
It's unbearable for anyone to have their hard-earned treasure stolen like that.
As for the consumption of his essence, the hermit didn't want to consider such things at all at this moment.
However, the hermit's attack, apart from adding a touch of gloom to the chaotic aurora colors, did not damage anything.
Just then, the light screen that had been frantically radiating outwards suddenly contracted, draping over the human figure in the center like a light veil, and the bright void dimmed once again.
"source!"
Seeing this figure, the hermit's anger reached its peak, and he launched a frenzied attack.
Lu Yunhe looked at the enraged hermit without taking him seriously at all.
"A robe of seclusion!"
