First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 773: A Forbidden Technique—Soul Scattered, Spirit Obliterated, Body and Essence Erased!

Stability far surpassed other places in Great Han. Various arrays were all activated, beginning to suppress, control, and restore the damage to this piece of heaven and earth within the Dong Family's territory.

From all directions, powerful figures flew up, also joining in to help stabilize the area.

They worked.

And they cursed.

"Damn it, these people, are they trying to die? They've all gone completely mad. Causing such a commotion in Hanjing, which old man at the Spirit Refinement realm has had enough of living?"

"I'm really fed up, they're causing trouble without even looking at the place. Why the hell are they running amok inside the city? Do they think this is the new city? If they keep fighting like this, do they want to turn Hanjing into the new city?"

"Ah, I can't take it anymore! Quick, quick, quick, give me a hand. I must go to the Dong Family territory to see who has such audacity. Damn it, today I must finish him off!"

"You, step back for now. Today is a group kicking. So many eyes are fixed over there, it can't escape. Wait until everyone helps suppress this, then we'll go over together later. No matter who it is, today we must pound him!"

The damage caused was too great.

Of course, this wasn't Lu Ding's wish either.

He didn't want to cause such a big commotion either.

Who told Dong Tai to erupt, with an aura that could rival Spirit Refinement?

He was only at the early stage of the Fifth Restriction. If he didn't bring out some real skill, what if he couldn't kill Dong Tai?

But once he brought out his true capabilities,

Lu Ding realized, was he already this badass?

Couldn't hold back the blade!!

Lu Ding, breathing somewhat rapidly, looked toward the direction where Dong Tai had stood earlier. At this moment, the previously incredibly arrogant Dong Tai's body had completely shattered.

Only a remnant soul consciousness, without a physical body, thin as mist, dispersible with the wind, remained in place.

Lu Ding's actions were too fast, his states too numerous, his power too great. Only now did Dong Tai awaken from the hard crowd control of [Call of the Seized Soul].

Although it was only a matter of seconds.

But the moment Dong Tai opened his eyes.

Endless weakness and pain surged into his heart simultaneously.

His remnant consciousness flickered, almost vanishing.

Confusion.

Where is my physical body...

How did I become like this...

How come with one eye open and one eye closed, I'm about to be denied eternal rebirth?

Life and death, the cycle never ceases.

Whether people have past lives is a very metaphysical conceptual question.

To this day, no one has obtained a definitive answer.

There are weaklings who penetrate the mystery of the womb, remembering past lives, and there are strong individuals who, after death, scatter like smoke.

But everyone, because of those isolated cases, hopes before death that they can have a next life, that they can break through the mystery of the womb.

Although it's uncertain what conditions lead to a next life.

But there is an additional condition: if a great master from the Buddhist, Daoist, or Confucian schools can perform a salvation ritual, it can increase the possibility of a next life.

Just some possibility, just a chance.

This is also one of the reasons why Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism are called the Three Teachings.

Simultaneously, an absolute theory of having no next life also originated from these Three Teachings.

That is: those whose souls scatter to the winds absolutely have no next life!

At this moment, Dong Tai was in the stage of having his soul scattered to the winds.

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't happen.

But Lu Ding's [Call of the Seized Soul] just happened to fix his soul, and Dong Tai's soul was strong enough, coincidentally satisfying, unintentionally, the condition of separating the soul, representing the physical body's vitality, from the spirit, and destroying them separately.

This kind of method, even within the Three Teachings, is a taboo among taboos, more demonic than demonic cultivators.

This is not some petty trick like a person dying and turning into a ghost, or killing ghosts and eliminating demons. This is a great taboo that truly extinguishes human nature.

Dong Tai, seeming to have figured something out, looked at Lu Ding with a face full of resentment: "It's you!!!"

"You are so cruel!!!!"

"You actually cultivate such forbidden methods, the world cannot tolerate you!!!"

His words weren't without basis.

Taboos are called taboos precisely because they possess sufficient threat.

Currently, they are only mastered by the Three Teachings.

If pushed to the extreme, hitting you with a complete annihilation of body and spirit, never to be reborn—most powerful figures fear this.

Lu Ding was neither Daoist, Buddhist, nor Confucian, yet he actually mastered such a method, and moreover, this kind of hard crowd control without any wind-up or signs.

It was simply unbelievable.

Once this matter was exposed today, in the future, the Three Teachings would definitely not allow Lu Ding, who shook one of their foundations, to remain at large.

Lu Ding also understood Dong Tai's implication.

Although the Spiritual Energy within his body was now less than one-tenth after activating all those state skills that stacked together longer than his life,

He still used this last remaining bit of Spiritual Energy.

To slash once more: "Screw you, what's it to you!"

"No!!!!!!!!"

One slash, complete annihilation of body and spirit, never to be reborn.

Dong Tai was afraid, but it was too late.

At the last moment of his life, only two words remained: despair!

Soul scattered to the winds, carried away by the wind.

Lu Ding, somewhat drained of strength, looked at the utterly ruined Dong Family manor and cursed: "Fuck!!!!!!!!"

He was a bit broken.

Ever since the Golden Finger activated, Lu Ding had never been this broken.

He originally thought coming to the Dong Family today would be a bountiful harvest, like a mouse entering a granary, scooping up a big haul.

But apart from the dragons on Dong Yuande, Dong Quan, and Dong Tai, there wasn't half an extra bit of gain.

Even with a scene like this, that damn old man of the Dong Family still hadn't shown up.

Didn't even need to think about it.

He definitely ran away with the other dragons!

And he ran away damn early!

Lu Ding truly hadn't expected that someone could be even more clear-headed than him.

Spirit Refinement against his Fifth Restriction, and he could run away!?

Shouldn't the advantage be with him?

This was two major realms difference.

Could you be any more cowardly? Even Han Laomo, Fang Xianzun, couldn't run as fast as you, Old Man Dong!

Those two at least had moments of backbone.

This Old Man Dong of the Dong Family couldn't stand up straight at all.

Was this kind of person even a villain?

If you didn't know better, you'd think he got some kind of Golden Finger where hiding makes you stronger and not fighting makes you level up.

Even sending someone to certain death with 98% certainty wasn't as absurd as this.

"Ah... Tsk........"

Old Man Long watched Lu Ding sighing like this, and he was holding back so hard!!

His face was swollen and green.

He originally thought Lu Ding was already fierce enough when he scattered his phantom earlier.

Who would have thought that the 100,000-meter flaming great blade just now left Old Man Long completely dumbfounded.

Was this something usable at the early Fifth Restriction?

Was this something a human could use?

And what was with this sighing appearance after killing the erupted Dong Tai?

Old Man Long heard regret in it.

Regret about what?

Regret not facing the Dong Family patriarch, Dong Xun?

That was a genuine, proper Spirit Refinement realm!!!!

The world had gone mad, and this person had gone mad too.

Fortunately, there were still normal people.

Old Man Long, with a twisted expression, looked at Fu Xinghe, hoping to find some resonance from this newly accepted disciple.

But Fu Xinghe had an expression of utter calm, as if 'Brother Lu should be like this.'

Old Man Long: ????????

"Disciple, do you perhaps have some misunderstanding about the chasm between realms?"
