Tong Ruobing did not hesitate to use her Proving Dao Artifact to boost her Talisman Making Abilities and their overall strength. Finally, she took out a talisman from her space ring.

[Flesh Atomization Talisman]

A brightening white light came from the talisman and enveloped Mu Lei before he could react. Even the participants on the ground had to squint their eyes slightly as they gazed at the light.

Once the light abated, Mu Lei appeared with burn marks all over his body. However, he appeared intact overall, making Tong Ruobing frown. The Flesh Atomization Talisman was one of the masterpieces she created to fight against people with powerful fleshly bodies.

So, it should have atomized her opponent or, at the very least, severely injured him. However, he appeared to be only slightly injured. Tiny runes appeared in front of her eyes as she analyzed Mu Lei's body, and a look of realization dawned on her.

The Star Body of the Star Beast World is unique in that it cannot be instantly destroyed–at least in general. Any attacks that kill a Star Beast cultivator will instead decrease their size. In other words, if anyone wants to kill a cultivator in the Star Beast World, they must constantly kill and reduce their size until they are killed.

As such, the bigger the opponent, the more lives they have. So, only attacks that can instantly destroy their entire body can kill them, and her talisman did not achieve that effect.

Although Mu Lei's current body looked intact, his real body was now several times smaller.

Tong Ruobing quickly analyzed how to end this battle as she could tell the longer it continued, the more dangerous the situation would be for her. She did not have an attack that could instantly annihilate her opponent–at least, not until she finished her transformation of binding with the Origin Talisman.

'So, the only solution is to use a method that annuls healing or regeneration.'

Tong Ruobing waved her to create a talisman that manifested in the form of a spear. Then, with a flick of her hand, it flew incredibly fast toward Mu Lei.

At first, he did not care about such a measly attack and planned to ignore it while continuing his assault. However, he suddenly sensed grave danger and rapidly enacted a shield to protect him.

Unfortunately, the spear penetrated his defense and went straight for his heart, only stopping one inch before piercing it. Mu Lei had an ugly expression as he sensed a mysterious power on that spear.

He knew that power would ignore his body's ability and kill him, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"What power is this?"

Tong Ruobing smiled at him but did not explain, so Mu Lei contacted his Elder to ask.

'The Duyi Realm. Is that a sign?' he thought. As a person who follows a pure physical path without any genuine Dao of his own, Mu Lei knew he would have to make a choice after acquiring the [Heaven Will].

The first choice is to comprehend the Grand Dao Source of Power and prove the Dao using that method.

The second choice is to use his [Heaven Will] to go up a few layers in the True Power Dao Realm. If he chose that option, he could have the battle prowess of a Great Emperor of any class–even Eternal Emperor–based on his talent for fleshly body and how much he can make use of the [Heaven Will].

However, the downside is that he cannot open the gate with the [Heaven Will], and he will only have 1 Yuan Epoch of lifespan. As such, he only has this time to continue cultivating and opening the Gate of Power.

Mu Lei could also become a Dao Ancestor, and he would be an Insurgent. With the infinite lifespan, he could continue walking the path of True Power Dao until he opened that gate.

The third option is to find a way around the Star Beast System and Control Law by another method. Mu Lei had some ideas after interacting with other Heaven Chosens and learning about their system.

He cannot control law with his Soul since it is fused with his body. However, he could allow his body to create some energy/Qi to control laws. With this method, he might enter the Duyi Realm, and after acquiring the [Heaven Will], Heavenly Dao will consider him a duel Qi Refiner and Body Cultivators.

He can comprehend the Grand Dao Source of whatever laws he controls while also getting a slight boost in the True Power Dao Realm.

'It seems like the third option is the best for me.'

Mu Lei remembered his recent business partner–Wang Wei. He was also a dual Qi Refiner and Body Cultivator. Moreover, as the wonder of the Heavy Axe Physique, he has some advantages. The Law Seed inside his body should prevent him from walking the True Power Dao, but he was allowed an exception by Heavenly Dao. He still could not control laws with his body.

"Thank you, Young Lady Tong, for your benevolence. I owe you a great Karma."
