Novel Full 774 Yin Gen's Fate
Yin Gen looked into the Western Quadrant, deep in thought. He pondered for a few minutes before a ruthless light flashed in his eyes.
“Blood Energy,” he muttered to himself. His Zombie Art was technically an evil technique. After all, zombies were abominations, creatures whose existence is rejected by Heaven and Earth since they defy the Order of Samsara.
As such, there is one way Yin Gen could use to increase the speed of cultivating his art–absorbing Blood Energy. By absorbing the yang energy from flesh and blood of creatures, he can balance the Yin Qi in the zombie’s bodies, thus accelerating the cultivation of the technique and ensuring users can reach the Golden Zombie Stage and revert to a living creature.
Additionally, absorbing souls can also accelerate this technique since they are Yin Nature.
However, he has never done such a thing throughout his entire cultivation journey. He even warned future descendants of the Body Dao Cave never to use this method.
Yin Gen had many reasons. Firstly, doing so would garner Heavenly Tribulations, making cultivating his technique even more difficult. He knew Heavenly Dao would never allow any shortcut for such a powerful technique.
The second reason was Karmic Sins. If someone used the crooked method to cultivate his technique, Buddhist Technique, and Yang Power would still remain the nemesis of this art–even after reverting to a living creature. Yin Gen desired to create the best technique, so he would not allow such an apparent weakness.
Finally, absorbing other people’s flesh and blood energy would make the fleshly body less pure, making it difficult to continue cultivating in the future.
‘But now, I have no choice,’ thought Yin Gen. He would deal with the side effects later by purifying his body. And since he won’t kill many people, he won’t have to worry about karmic sins.
‘I need to be swift,’ he planned. ‘Rush straight for Di Tian, kill him, and absorb his flesh and blood. His generals will be a pain, but as long as I use my most powerful state and attack, I can quickly get rid of them.’
Yin Gen took a moment to review his plan and perfect it; he decided to imprison these generals before going straight for Di Tian.
‘He is the king and my goal. I will have a chance to prove the Dao in this generation as long as I get his blood energy.’
After making a plan, he no longer hesitated. He summoned his Emperor Artifact and put the gloves on.
Bang!
A colossal cosmic being appeared in the Western Quadrant, right in front of Di Tian’s group. The being did not have skins, eyes, mouths, and noses like creatures of flesh and blood. Instead, it had a body made of mountains, rivers, forests, volcanoes, and his two eyes were the moon and the sun.
As soon as the cosmic being appeared, it attacked Di Jiaying, making the latter’s face contort.
‘This attack has broken the limit of 7-Leaf and is approaching the peak of 8-Leaf.’
Di Jiaying instantly knew she could not block this attack with her current strength. However, she did not despair.
‘Gao Buqin,’ she roared through Divine Sense. Then, a golden armor suddenly manifested out of nowhere, and she equipped it.
‘Devil,’ she roared, and Gluttony immediately lent her his power.
[A Country’s Sacrifice]
A Tyrant can sacrifice millions of people for its benefit, and they can even sacrifice the very people they should be protecting and governing. A Tyrant’s Will and desires are above everything–including the lives of all sentient beings.
Di Jiaying raised her to create a black, red shield that contained countless grievances, hatred, and curses. The essence of this shield was the lives and souls of countless people sacrificed by their king or monarch.
The sad part is even if these people are unwilling, they have no choice but to protect this tyrant–because his will is absolute.
Boom!
Yin Gen’s fist hit the protective shield. The shockwave of their clash did terrible damage to the surrounding million galaxies. Additionally, a wail full of sadness traveled throughout most of the Western Quadrant, and its origin was the shield.
Di Jiaying’s shield cracked, but it withstood the attack–at least temporarily. Her body trembled as she mobilized power beyond her limit. With her Tyrant Dao, she gathered more grievances to reinforce the seal.
It was as if she was sacrificing trillions of lives every passing second, but these souls did not seem real. However, that was the brilliance of her technique–it ignored the concept of reality and illusion, or real and falseness.
As soon as Yin Gen appeared, someone noticed him–Di Tian. He opened his eyes and looked at the cosmic being attacking his camp.
‘Is that the Body Ancestor’s [Heaven and Earth Body]?’
Based on his judgment, there were two brilliant body refining techniques from this era where Qi Refining dominated–the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] and the [Heaven and Earth Body].
And if he had to choose the better of the two, he would choose the former. The [Heaven and Earth Body] was a brilliant body refining technique, but the downside was it took too many resources to cultivate; this is why it was not as popular as the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture].

However, the resources required were scary. To temper the skin, a cultivator must absorb the protective shield that protects a world. Whether it is Lower, Middle, Greater, or Heaven Will World, there is a protective shield around it as they float in the Endless Void. And the first step of this technique is to absorb that protective shield into the skin.
For the muscles, the cultivator must absorb the Spirit Veins of the world. Afterward, the muscle will have endless Spiritual Qi to nourish them.
The bones require World Source for the tempering process. The organs will require the Five Elements for the different Zhang Organs. Mountains for the earth element, forests for the wood element, oceans for the water elements, earth cores for the fire element, and ore veins for the metal element. Finally, the eyes will absorb stars and moons.
Di Tian even knows some people in the Body Dao Cave suggested tempering the brain by absorbing Heavenly Dao.
This technique was genuinely brilliant, and the Body Ancestor was an unparalleled genius. Sadly, few people can cultivate this technique to success due to the talent and resources needed.
Di Tian calmly watched Yin Gen’s state and detected the latter was only using a spell to imitate the [Heaven and Earth Body].
‘I can sense Wang Wei’s power from him. It should be a Spiritual Hint. Is he using a discarded pawn to test me?’ analyzed Di Tian before making a move.
A towering black and white hand appeared, even larger than Yin Gen’s current body. As he gazed at that hand, the body refiner felt death approaching him, and he realized he was powerless. At that moment, between life and death, his eyes became bright and pure, untainted by any haze.
‘This is the end of my road,’ he thought.
Bang! The void fluctuated.
‘Escape? Why did he save him?’ frowned Di Tian, who thought Yin Gen was a sacrificial pawn. He knew Wang Wei never did anything without reason, so he analyzed the latter’s purpose.
‘Could he be acquiring another general?’ He felt this conclusion was wrong. However, after thinking about it for a few seconds, he could not deduce a reason he was satisfied with. So, he gave up and prepared to close his eyes.
“Huh?” he muttered with a frown; he noticed something else that also required his attention.
Central Quadrant:
Yin Gen appeared in his regular form. However, he was in terrible shape. He was skinnier than bones, his face was full of wrinkles and age spots, and his hair was all white–his body had entered its twilight moment.
“Hahaha, a discarded pawn,” he muttered wrily, his body exuding an incomprehensible sadness. “No, I guess I’m still a valuable pawn.’
Yin Gen could not help but remember Li Jun’s words–he was born in the wrong era.
“I lost to Wang Chang, but now, even after abandoning my values, I lost to his descendant and even became a pawn.”
He sighed heavily; this battle was a great blow to him.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter. Since I am alive, there is hope.” The word given up was not part of Yin Gen’s vocabulary. When he was a mortal, he knelt for five years before being accepted by the Body Dao Cave. In those five years, he did not eat or drink, and his body was on the verge of falling after only three months.
But he resisted and used his Willpower to sustain himself. Back then, he was prepared to spend his mortal life span–roughly 80 to 90 years–kneeling before someone accepted him.
And after his failure against Wang Chong, he sealed himself and spent at least a dozen times longer than usual to wash away his karma, using the experience to temper himself and improve.
‘I only need to sleep for a few more million years.’
Yin Gen exhaled deeply before uttering, “I give up this battle.”
A white light flashed on his body, and Yin Gen knew he was officially eliminated from this battle.
