The overwhelming will and the crimson energy from Bizhang's Origin Blood Essence blood flowed out like a red celestial river pouring back!

Even the Universe Origin Law lost their resonance in an instant!

It was as if even the Universe Origin Law retreated under the Will Impact of that drop of Origin Blood Essence.

Fortunately, this terrible situation only lasted for a moment.

"<Nine Transformations of the Desolate God>!"

Having already had experience with this once, Jiang Yao quickly activated the <Nine Transformations of the Desolate God>.

The immense power of the laws governing the universe is constantly eroding and erasing every cell and gene within the bodies of Jiang Yao and Chiling clone.

Meanwhile, the surging energy and will of the Desolate God Origin Blood Essence are continuously guided by the <Nine Transformations of the Desolate God> to reshape genes and cells.

Two powerful forces seemed to be engaged in a tug-of-war within Jiang Yao and Chiling clone; for every cell you destroyed, I would regenerate one.

Jiang Yao himself, Chiling clone, and Bizhang Split Soul all couldn't help but let out a wail.

Especially Bizhang Split Soul.

The powerful will emanating from the essence of Bizhang Split Soul's Origin Blood Essence blood, deep within the consciousness of Bizhang's divided soul, filled Bizhang Split Soul, tearing at it like a slow, agonizing death, while simultaneously enhancing the two Beast God Intent of Fire-Space and Light-Time!

Meanwhile, Jiang Yao and Chiling clone grew stronger through the struggle of being erased and reshaped.

It felt like returning to the painful moment when he last encountered the Venerable of the Prison Race and stimulated the Origin Blood Essence the Desolate God Chiling.

The newly formed body collapsed and disintegrated again under the influence of the laws of the universe. It was then regenerated by the violent energy of the Origin Blood Essence absorbed by Jiang Yao's <Nine Transformations of the Desolate God>, which he continued to operate despite the pain. After that, the body collapsed again.

It felt like being subjected to excruciating torture every single moment.

220 times... 250 times... 280 times...

It seemed like millions of years had passed, yet it also seemed like only a moment. The Gene Level, which had been slowly improving over the past few hundred years, was rapidly enhanced through the body's brutal decomposition and condensation.

It quickly exceeded 500 times!

"The power of the laws governing the universe has weakened!" A glimmer of joy and relief flashed through Jiang Yao's extremely painful consciousness.

Bajie exclaimed excitedly, "This should just be a backlash, a punishment for violating the laws of the universe. I told you, as long as we can get through it, there's a glimmer of hope!"

Jiang Yao roared in anguish, "The punishment from the laws of the universe is almost over, but the problem is, when will Bizhang's Origin Blood Essence recover?!"

The Origin Blood Essence from the adult Bizhang seemed to have encountered some intolerable provocation, unleashing boundless energy and will like Supernova explosion.

Even the Nine Transformations of the Desolate God could hardly digest such violent power.

Even Jiang Yao's cells were not erased by the punishment of the laws of the universe, but were burst by the constantly surging force the moment they were formed, and his genes collapsed as if he could not withstand the pressure after they were just reshaped.

If the last time Chiling clone faced the invasion of the Prison Race Venerable's consciousness, it was because he stimulated his own Origin Blood Essence, and he was still somewhat restrained in stimulating it, then this time Bizhang's Origin Blood Essence was purely startled by the power of the laws governing the universe, and it seemed that he would not stop until he had released all of his power.

Jiang Yao struggled painfully on the brink of life and death. The violent energy almost completely overwhelmed his consciousness, making him like a drowning person, struggling painfully to rise, but only able to watch hopelessly as the water receded further and further away from him.

"In the future... if you ever listen to... that pig again... just one word..."

Jiang Yao, who was struggling violently in the water, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"<Shixing Canon>?"

As Jiang Yao's thoughts flashed, the secret method from the second chapter of the <Shixing Canon> came to mind.

This is the secret method to evolve the Five Hundred-Vine Crimson Thunder Grass into the Thousand-Vine Perfect Form Crimson Thunder Grass, which requires absorbing a massive amount of resources and energy.

Jiang Yao seized upon this idea with delight and immediately activated the secret technique of the <Shixing Canon>.

Within the rapidly expanding Inner World, the Five Hundred-Vine Crimson Thunder Grass clones, each the size of a star, let out painful howls. The jagged, dark grass leaves stretched for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, their toughness so great that even Immortal God could not cut them, until they broke apart inch by inch and turned to ashes.

In an instant, the entire Crimson Thunder Grass clone was reduced to just roots and stems; all 504 vines and leaves were annihilated.

The surging energy, under the influence of the secret techniques of the <Shixing Canon>, gradually transformed the roots from black to dark gold.

A terrifying aura was brewing in the shadows.

With the help of the <Shixing Canon>, Jiang Yao and Chiling clone were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief as they activated the <Nine Transformations of the Desolate God>.

It seemed that the punishment from the laws of the universe had completely subsided, and Bizhang's Origin Blood Essence, which had been challenged, seemed to slowly calm down, beginning to contract and expand again, with the violent energy release gradually returning to its source.

Bajie muttered with lingering fear, "So close... so close... I thought Bizhang's drop of Origin Blood Essence was going to self-destruct!"

"We made it through!" Jiang Yao opened his eyes, his tired gaze revealing immense relief.

After a long while, he began to pay attention to his own situation.

"1120 times!... That's incredible!" Jiang Yao exclaimed, overjoyed.

Life Gene Level more than 1,000 times greater are extremely rare among Special Lifeform forms; they can be called heaven-defying Special Lifeform forms, and even most Universe Master cannot reach such Gene Level.

"The Gene Level of Chiling clone has also reached thousands of times!"

This time, because it was Bizhang Split Soul's Origin Blood Essence that went berserk, Jiang Yao and Bizhang Split Soul benefited the most, while the Chiling clone was able to transmit the energy through the connection between their consciousnesses.

With the Nine Transformations of the Desolate God, Jiang Yao can continuously improve his physical genes, but it will take a long time to reach a level of a thousand times.

The process that took thousands of years was accomplished in an instant. No wonder Taihuan Token Envoy to say that the fastest and most dangerous way to become stronger was to stimulate the Origin Blood Essence of the Desolate God.

Of course, this should only be considered as a last resort when faced with extreme danger.

The first time, most of the energy of his Origin Blood Essence was directed at the Prison Race Venerable, which is how Jiang Yao survived.

This time, most of the energy of the Origin Blood Essence was also fighting against the punishment of the laws of the universe, and the Crimson Thunder Grass also shared the burden; otherwise, Jiang Yao would never have been able to survive.

They must all have a target to share most of the "rage" of their Origin Blood Essence; otherwise, arbitrarily stimulating their Origin Blood Essence is tantamount to suicide.

Upon realizing this, Jiang Yao had a sudden thought, Huanming Split Soul began to carefully unleash the Origin Secret Technique "Water Origin Calamity Fire" once again.

Bajie cried out in surprise, "What are you doing?!"

The moment the Fire Wheel and the Long River merged, the laws of the universe descended once more, transforming into a high wall blocking their path.

"It still doesn't work!" Jiang Yao shook his head.

In his recent confrontation with the laws governing the universe, he had basically come to understand that, apart from the eight Fusion Law of the Path of the Beast God, all other Fusion Law belonged to the path of cultivating the Chaos Law, which were the secrets of True God.

This is the law governing the universe.

To unleash the Water-Fire Fusion Law, one must either Control of Space-Time, become the Universe Master, and transcend spacetime to break through this limitation.

Either one's will rivals that of the Lord of the Universe, such as Luo Feng, whose soul has merged with the Star Tower Beads, thus exempting him from the constraints of the laws governing the universe.

Otherwise, once it is unleashed, it will be punished, or rather, annihilated, by the laws of the universe.

"So, the 'Water Origin Calamity Fire' move can only be considered a trump card for mutual destruction?"

Without the powerful secret technique of "Water Origin Calamity Fire" that allows the laws of water and fire to merge, Huanming's other moves are not much different from Bizhang's or Chiling's, simply the Water-Space Fusion Law or Fire-Space Fusion Law.

No, not even Bizhang.

Bizhang Split Soul was the most dangerous but also the most beneficial. Influenced by the will of Bizhang's Origin Blood Essence, the Beast God Intent of Bizhang Split Soul was directly raised to the level of the 21st floor of the Heavenly Bridge.

It surpasses the realm of Immortal God!

Upgrading from 19 floors to 21 floors, although only two floors, makes a huge difference.

Countless Law Comprehension in the Primal Universe, having reached the pinnacle of Immortal God, have been unable to break through to the realm of Universe Venerable even after countless epochs.

Fortune truly does come from taking risks.

Bajie, perhaps guessing Jiang Yao's thoughts, quickly warned, "Don't think that just because you've survived twice, you can get through the next one safely. The Origin Blood Essence of the Desolate God is inherently unstable. These two times were just good luck for you. If it happens next time, you might even self-destruct!"

"Adult Desolate God are beings above True God level. You can't even imagine the power contained in a single drop of their Origin Blood Essence. If you make the slightest mistake, you will die without a burial place, and there will be no possibility of resurrection."

Jiang Yao snorted coldly, "Wasn't the idea of nurturing the Desolate God Huanming yours? If you had known this would happen, you would have been better off abandoning this body and transferring to the Chiling clone."

Bajie, with his pig-like face, said somewhat sheepishly, "It's just that I don't know much about your Source World yet. Who would have thought that the Water-Fire Fusion Law would violate the normal laws governing the universe?"

Jiang Yao only complained once and did not pursue the matter further, after all, he had indeed benefited from the misfortune.

His consciousness then turned to observe the Crimson Thunder Grass clone within his Inner World.

The Crimson Thunder Grass clone has changed from black to dark gold, and its size has expanded from millions of kilometers to hundreds of millions of kilometers!

If Jiang Yao's Inner World hadn't expanded to a diameter of 300 million kilometers, it definitely wouldn't have been able to contain the Crimson Thunder Grass clone that had evolved into its Perfect Form.

"This Inner World's Law Comprehension are probably something even those who have reached the 20th level of the Heavenly Bridge might not be able to break through," Jiang Yao exclaimed in disbelief.

However, due to the nature of the Xu Yuan Space, he was not in a hurry to break through to Immortality, since once he broke through to Immortality, he would lose a major life-saving ability.

A pure soul consciousness can be transferred to another avatar through the Xu Yuan Space.

However, divine bodies cannot be transferred through the Xu Yuan Space.

As for the loss of combat power due to the inability to achieve immortality, Jiang Yao's thoughts turned to the Crimson Thunder Grass clone that was stretching out dark golden grass leaves.

Once the Perfect Form Crimson Thunder Grass clone breaks through to immortality, its divine power will be 1 million times that of World Lord Power, making it comparable to Peak King-level powerhouse using the Divine Power Amplification Secret Art.

Other clones can also borrow the divine power of the Immortal Crimson Thunder Grass clone at any time.

As Jiang Yao was pondering, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "The Huisuo Behemoth? Heh, interesting."

If the Chiling clone had to find a way to escape when faced with the pursuit of the Huisuo Behemoth before, then this is a different story now.
