Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1510: Chapter 701: One Billion Years of Lifespan, Opening the Grotto Heaven

”However, for an immortal, attacking is important, but defense is equally important.”

”Otherwise, one is nothing but a glass man, vulnerable to an enemy’s sneak attack, which could easily kill oneself.”

”The Ten Thousand Lives Shield of Ruin is precisely a defensive immortal technique.”

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered as he continued to comprehend the third lifebound immortal technique on his body.

It must be said that this defensive immortal technique is indeed incredibly powerful.

One must know that between heaven and earth, all beings have life lines, life light, and life marks.

Ants, plants, birds, beasts, commoners, immortal cultivators, gods, demons, and ancient sages—all these countless living beings’ destiny streams intertwine to form a vast and boundless river of destiny.

This technique uses one’s own life core as the array hub, connecting with the tributaries of the river of destiny, guiding the remnant lives, residual lives, and phantom lives of billions of fragmented beings, utilizing the devouring and tranquil power of the Dao of Returning Ruins to condense, intertwine, and unify countless destiny tracks.

Not by condensing shields with spiritual qi, not by armor formed by magical treasures, not by barriers formed by laws, but by using life as armor and ruin as defense, it is the supreme immortal defense technique based on destiny.

Its primary ability is the diversion of ten thousand lives, dispersing all killing.

The most fundamental ability of the Ten Thousand Lives Shield of Ruin is the diversion of destiny damage.

Any attacks targeting life chart, life orbit, destiny, causality, such as calamity seals, life severance, causality killing stabs, unlucky poison techniques, and celestial mandate toppling methods,

will not directly strike the caster’s true form but be drawn onto the phantom lives borrowed from billions of beings.

Countless fragmented life marks will bear the impact, with the damage being infinitely split, shared, and weakened. Even the most ferocious fatal attack will be diluted layer by layer, leaving less than a tenth of its power.

Of course, the capabilities of this immortal technique are not limited to this. It can also achieve ruination devouring, turning calamity into nothingness.

The returning ruins’ null force surrounding the shield can devour all negative fated laws:

calamity scourge, karmic fire, decay aura, life poison miasma, reincarnation curses, divine soul resentment power,

all poisonous, eroding, annihilating types of Dao principles touching the shield wall will be slowly devoured, dissolved, and turned into emptiness by the force of returning ruins.

It does not reflect back, does not resist, but directly erases the negative essence of the technique from the root, preventing harmful forces from entering oneself, avoiding adverse ties to one’s Dao.

Simultaneously, it can achieve life orbit isolation, locking and severing any divine powers relying on ”locking life stars, tracing divine souls, binding causality” will be blocked by the torrent of ten thousand lives.

The enemy cannot lock onto one’s own life coordinate. Techniques like time reversal, fatal tracking, blood contract curse killing, and counterpart substitution will all fail.

One’s own life orbit is concealed by myriad miscellaneous lives, like being hidden in the vast sea of destiny, obscure, concealed, and impossible to locate.

It is precisely because of this that this immortal technique’s defensive power is incredibly strong, with ten thousand lives as external defense and returning ruins as internal guard, doubly solidifying one’s life core and Dao foundation.

Even if an external force breaches the outer life shield, the core lifebound life line will be firmly sealed and stabilized by the power of returning ruins,

preventing potential risks like life orbit collapsing, destiny dissipating, Dao foundation deteriorating, and divine soul damage,

specifically countering various types of gradual erosion, source-destroying life path poison techniques, and calamity path forbidden techniques.

This immortal technique also has an even more important feature, which is enduring long battles, vitality unending.

The beings of the world are endless, and the tributaries of the river of destiny never dry up.

The ten thousand lives power consumed by the shield body can be slowly replenished continuously from the myriad beings of heaven and earth,
