Before it became a vortex, Mold Mire was just Mold Mire; whoever touched it would be unlucky.
But after it formed a vortex, Mold Mire was still Mold Mire, yet it became Lu Ye's Mold Mire. Except for Lu Ye, whoever touched it would be unlucky.
This was the difference between the two.
Of course, there was still the final hurdle: the ten-in-one fusion.
This was relatively difficult because the energy was too immense. Lu Ye... Well, while it was difficult for others, for Lu Ye, it was just so-so.
As the ten vortices approached, lightning appeared within each of them.
The vortices rotated very quickly.
The air currents formed between them rubbed against each other at high speed.
Blood was already flowing from Lu Ye's nose.
But this did not stop him from merging the ten vortices into one.
Friction!
Tearing!
Entanglement!
Dao Traces Great Emperor watched this scene intently, unable to help but click his tongue.
He knew that he was about to lose all the dignity of a Great Emperor right now.
But what Lu Ye was doing right now was something many Great Emperors couldn't achieve. Could he be blamed?
He had also been Invincible before. When facing ordinary cultivators, he was naturally a supreme existence, but when facing an existence that was very likely stronger than himself, what was wrong with him being shocked?
What was wrong?
It fused!
It really fused successfully.
The Yin-Yang Great Dao. This Yin-Yang Great Dao of Lu Ye's could achieve this step. If someone told him this Yin-Yang Great Dao was at the Celestial Venerable level, he would probably believe it.
A giant vortex appeared in the Void, its height unknown, and it was extremely terrifying.
Lu Ye looked up. The vortex was right above his head.
The Nascent Soul also looked up.
Speaking of which, it had been a long time of normal cultivation. It really hadn't experienced that feeling of being completely full for a very long time.
And this time, it was probably not going to be disappointed, and might even be directly burst.
But what was there to fear?
Mind and intention as one!
Come!
Boom!
The giant vortex, accompanied by a roar, drilled into Lu Ye's glabella. Although the size of the vortex and Lu Ye's body were disproportionate, the vortex was still entering.
As expected.
The Nascent Soul began to slowly expand like a balloon. As more and more of the vortex was injected, the expansion became faster and faster.
The chubby little hands of the Nascent Soul formed seals.
Its expression was one of both pain and composure.
Gray patterns appeared on its skin, spreading continuously.
And then only one-tenth of the vortex had entered.
More and more patterns appeared on the Nascent Soul's body.
The originally fair and plump Nascent Soul had now turned gray.
One-fifth!
The Nascent Soul's expression was calm, only its brows were tightly furrowed.
One-fourth, the Nascent Soul changed to a new hand seal and began to frantically refine.
One-third, a pained expression appeared on the Nascent Soul's face.
One-half.
Lu Ye's Nascent Soul couldn't stop swelling, expanding as quickly as a blown-up balloon.
No, no, I can't hold on!
Lu Ye had no choice but to channel the vortex into his physical body.
His body also began to swell.
"Open the Secret Treasures!"
Lu Ye couldn't hold back and directly opened the five elements Secret Treasures of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth within his body.
These Secret Treasures were something that body refiners were good at. They were used to store energy that couldn't be absorbed, in case they ate too much and couldn't digest it.
Not only the five elements Secret Treasures, but also the one hundred and eight acupoints were opened.
At the same time, light spots also appeared on the Nascent Soul's body, and the Mold Mire inside was rapidly compressed.
Still not enough.
The Stone Sword appeared.
My good brother, help me!
The Mold Mire was poured into the Stone Sword.
The Human Emperor Banner also appeared. Come, help.
Green light emanated from Lu Ye's body.
"Good, and you too!"
The Enlightenment Tree was also pulled out.
As expected of the Enlightenment Tree that had absorbed the Guardian Great Dao, it truly stepped up when needed, and it did so proactively.
With everything of Lu Ye's working together.
Finally, the last vortex merged into Lu Ye's body.
Lu Ye held it in for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't hold it back and let out a huge burp.
Terrifying Mold Mire lingered around his body, like tentacles, spreading in all directions.
Anyone who understood a little about the Great Dao of Luck would likely be scared half to death at first glance at Lu Ye, because Mold Mire was emanating from all around him.
In this state, anyone who got close to him would become extremely unlucky.
However, it was finally completed.
Mold Mire disappeared.
He completed the first trial, and his strength also reached the peak of the Domain Realm in one go.
He was going to enter the state of 'strangers and acquaintances, keep away' again.
With such dense Mold Mire, even saying a word to him would likely bring terrible luck.
However, the next level is the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
Well, there are no people in Hell, so it's fine if they are unlucky. Lu Ye can't be blamed.
The Eighteen Levels of Hell were constructed by an extremely powerful force in the past. Lu Ye knew the secrets within.
What is currently spread in the world is that the Eighteen Levels of Hell copied the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but Lu Ye knew that the Six Paths of Reincarnation copied the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
However, the Eighteen Levels of Hell declined, while the Six Paths of Reincarnation became even more prosperous.
There was nothing to be done. Reincarnation Heavenly Lord was indeed an astonishing and outstanding Heaven's Chosen.
Such beings who surpassed their predecessors were absolutely rare in past history.
As for imitation, it can be called plagiarism, or not plagiarism.
There was nothing to be done. This world was originally like this.
If the Invincible Great Path was awesome, then a large number of cultivators of the Invincible Great Path would appear.
If the Yin-Yang Great Dao was awesome, similarly, a large number of cultivators of the Invincible Great Path would appear.
Unless it was a special Great Dao that was difficult to imitate, others would be imitated.
Because if a strong person successfully cultivated a Great Dao, that Great Dao cultivated by the strong person would be in its prosperous period, and if others followed suit, they would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
A power of transmission enveloped Lu Ye.
Lu Ye's figure instantly disappeared.
When he reappeared, he had arrived in a place filled with eerie Yin energy.
In front of him was a not-so-wide small path. Stepping on the path felt soft, as if it was paved with flesh and blood.
In front of the path was a vast gray river.
Within the river, countless pairs of eyes were faintly present, staring at Lu Ye the moment he appeared.
Above the river was a green stone bridge. In the past, there would be an old woman here, offering a bowl of soul-warming soup to the passing travelers.
However, nowadays, the Yellow Springs Road, the Bridge of Helplessness, and the Wangchuan River were all present, but the old woman who offered the soup was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Ye's expression was calm.
This was not the first time he had been here, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Walking on the Yellow Springs Road, the mortal dust on his body seemed to be sucked away.
Before the Bridge of Helplessness, Lu Ye took a step and calmly stepped onto the bridge.
His soul went up, but his physical body stopped before the Bridge of Helplessness.
Dense bloody light accompanied by gray mist bloomed from Lu Ye's soul.
The souls that originally wanted to drag Lu Ye into the Wangchuan River, seeing the abnormal light around Lu Ye, all fell silent.
This soul seems a little scary...
