Chapter 1268: Chapter 1267: Strange Trace Origin Dao Fruit Outline

"Fairy, the prototype of my Trace Origin Dao Fruit represents the vastness of life, having been through two lifetimes and comprehended reincarnation. Drawing from the Time Dao Fruit, traversing the Cultivation World to seek masters and make friends, visiting countless Semi-Immortals and Immortals to discuss life, learning their Dao Fruit philosophies, it’s a culmination of all these experiences. It’s not just about reducing cultivation levels... alright, it is about overcoming opponents by reducing their cultivation levels."

After half a day of explanation, Lu Yang realized it was indeed what Fairy Eternity had said.

Damn it, could it be that I was able to condense the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype because it related to the fusion with the Invincible Primordial Spirit?

According to Lu Yang’s expectation, as long as he could become an Immortal, his Trace Origin Dao Fruit would be able to weaken an Immortal into a Semi-Immortal, and Eldest Senior Sister’s Harmonization could save her.

Sitting not far away on a tree, watching the battle, Yun Mengmeng’s eyes were filled with admiration. The Second-in-command is so powerful, lowering the opponent’s cultivation level is a surefire strategy, why didn’t she think of that?

"You can’t win this fight." Understanding the principle of the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype, Meng Jingzhou immediately surrendered.

If both of them were at the Mid-stage Tribulation Crossing Cultivation, they could have had a match, but he was just at the Early Tribulation Stage, and Old Lu was at the Middle Tribulation Stage. There’s no point in fighting.

No matter how capable he was, he couldn’t fight above his level against Old Lu.

Surrendering now, he could avoid physical pain.

"Don’t give up just like that, we haven’t even started fighting, where’s your spirit?" Lu Yang genuinely wanted to fight Meng Jingzhou, the previous fight didn’t even count as a warm-up.

Meng Jingzhou rolled his eyes: "Have some shame, will you?"

"You’re misunderstanding, brother. What’s our relationship? Could I possibly fight above my level against you?"

Lu Yang snapped his fingers, dispelling the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype, and Meng Jingzhou returned to the Middle Tribulation Stage.

"How about this, I won’t use the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype, and we’ll fight for real, how’s that?"

"That’s better."

The two stood on the lake surface, rallied their spirits, and adopted their stances once more.

In an instant, they both vanished from their spots, reappearing at the center of the lake, engaging in the most primitive combat without any techniques or moves.

Boom—

The lake surface exploded, water splashed up, and rained down like a downpour.

The two silhouettes flitted in and out of the curtain of rain created by the lake water, appearing like they had thousands of clones manifesting at various points within the rain curtain. The sounds of battle were like drumbeats, booming incessantly, setting hearts pounding fiercely.

Actually, it was due to their speed being so fast that ordinary people could only see afterimages, unable to discern where their true forms were amidst the myriad afterimages.

"Old Lu, not bad, neither your realm nor your physical body has fallen behind."

"You have to train your physical body; otherwise, Eldest Senior Sister would toss you straight into the furnace to burn."

"If you’re so afraid of burning, how will you withstand this move!"

Pure Yang True Flame and Nirvana True Flame suddenly appeared beside Meng Jingzhou. The appearance of these two extremely powerful flames caused the lake to boil, the water to evaporate, and mist to fill the air, making it even harder to see their figures.

"You’re trying to ambush me!" Lu Yang was furious. A good close-combat fight, yet you use magic skills, and the key point is I wasn’t the one ambushing first.

"That’s called preemptive action!" Meng Jingzhou didn’t believe for one second that Old Lu hadn’t thought about ambushing.

The Pure Yang True Flame and Nirvana True Flame displayed by Mid-stage Tribulation Crossing Cultivation were terrifyingly powerful. Both True Flames required the nurturing of Pure Yang Aura, which was precisely what Meng Jingzhou had in abundance!

"True Fire, eh? I can do that too!"

The Pure Yang True Flame shone like the great sun, illuminating all things, deterring the petty and weak, while the Nirvana True Fire carried the sound of a phoenix’s cry, transforming into a blazing fire phoenix!

The two True Flames had already been refined to the utmost extreme by Meng Jingzhou!

Lu Yang’s palm steamed, and two kinds of True Fire appeared.

"Three Flavored True Fire, Golden Bird True Flame!"

Just as Meng Jingzhou was about to mock Old Lu for overestimating himself, he saw the Three Flavored True Fire and Golden Bird True Flame suddenly expand by tens of millions of times, like two flaming creatures. Especially the Golden Bird True Flame, it was more nimble than his Nirvana True Flame, and hotter than the Great Sun True Flame!

When had Old Lu refined these two True Fires to such an ultimate degree behind his back?!

The Three Flavored True Fire and Golden Bird True Flame compressed the void and scorched the sky, like the monarch of fire!

"Old Meng, move aside, my True Fire is tricky, it’s stimulated by the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype!" Lu Yang did not know what had happened on the other side and urgently transmitted his voice through his Spiritual Sense.

"It’s too late!" The True Fire was closing in, and Meng Jingzhou had no way out; he could only choose to clash directly!

At the moment the four True Fires collided, Meng Jingzhou’s face changed dramatically. Only after coming into contact with Old Lu’s True Fire did he realize how terrifying these two kinds of flame were!

Boom——

The lake water evaporated, Meng Jingzhou was blown to the shore, his clothes charred.

"Old Meng, are you alright?"

The sudden turn of events gave Lu Yang quite a scare. He hurried back to check the situation, and Yun Mengmeng also rushed over upon seeing it.

"Cough cough——" Meng Jingzhou was covered in soot and looked quite disheveled, "Still alive, I guess."

Only because he was tough, plus his Yang Qi was very compatible with the Yang Qi of the Golden Bird True Flame, counteracting the force. If it had been another Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator, they would have been seriously injured and already drinking Elixir from a gourd.

"When did your True Fire become so powerful, how come I’ve never seen you use it before?" Meng Jingzhou said with a resentful expression.

Lu Yang was just as innocent: "I had no idea my True Fire could be so fierce!"

"I originally intended to use the Three Flavored True Fire and Golden Bird True Flame as a decoy to divert attention and take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on you."

"But as soon as I deployed these two True Fires, the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype was also activated, and you saw the effect: the power of the True Fire became so strong."

Meng Jingzhou said angrily, "We agreed not to use Dao Fruit Prototypes before the battle!"

Lu Yang quickly explained, "I didn’t want to use it; the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype acted on its own, like... like..."

Lu Yang thought for a long time, finally coming up with the precise description, "It’s like there are myriad connections between the two True Fires and the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype. If these two True Fires are used, the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype must be activated simultaneously."

"Fairy, do you know what’s going on?"

Immortal Fairy Eternity was just as puzzled, and the question was directed at her: "I’ve never seen this kind of circumstance. The power of these two True Fires is already comparable to True Fire deployed by a Yin Yang Dao Fruit Prototype."

The reason why Semi-Immortals are far superior to those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage is precisely because of the existence of Dao Fruit Prototypes, which make the magic skills deployed through them much more powerful than normal.

For instance, a Peak Tribulation Stage cultivator deploying the Great Divine Skill "Five Thunders Technique" would definitely be inferior to to the Thunder Skill deployed by a Tribulation Dao Fruit Prototype.

That’s why just now, the Three Flavored True Fire and Golden Bird True Flame could overwhelmingly dominate and forcefully suppress the Pure Yang True Fire and the Nirvana True Flame.

"Why would the Second-in-command’s Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype make the two True Fires stronger?"

It’s easy to understand that the Yin Yang Dao Fruit Prototype would make True Fire stronger, given that True Fire is ’Yang’, but Yun Mengmeng couldn’t figure out: what’s the connection between Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype and the two True Fires?

"And another thing, why must I activate the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype simultaneously when I deploy the two True Fires?"

Lu Yang frowned, formulating a guess in his heart, "Unless these two True Fires themselves are the result of ’Trace Origin’?"
