My Journey to Godhood as a Caterpillar

Chapter 173: You wash my back I wash yours

Yuan Fang wanted Yun Jhin's knowledge on how to stomp the willpower of his first life and he would get it from him one way or another, the man seemed to be rather unstable with how he acted, after all, Yun Jhin would surely not act like this with the person who personally lopped his head off his shoulders.

"Thinking that I'm a little bit too gentle right now don't you? Well, the reincarnation process washed a lot of this current life's hatred towards you... but let's say the previous life willpower does want to do to you what you think I want to do."

"Anyways we can concede in this regard, you wash my back I wash your's type of deal, what do you think?"

Yun Jhin knew that working a deal with Yuan Fang was like asking a tiger for its skin but it could be said to be the same about him as well, what if he gave the wrong technique to him and made him implode as the battle of wills ensued and his ki went out of control inside his body?

It seemed that Yuan Fang was scared that the will from his previous life will interfere with his breakthroughs from now on, at the God Realm and above if any interruptions were made during the breakthrough time one could certainly be crippled!

Yun Jhin didn't have this problem as all his former lives wills were tightly sealed in the memory cores he created but Yuan Fang didn't have his technique so he could only fumble in the dark regarding this.

Yun Jhin never left this technique to anyone so there was no way for him to get it even if he destroyed and searched through the whole blood throne sect's ruins.

It seemed he had already tried that and he must have searched through his son's brain as well as he was desperate enough to work a deal with him.

It seemed Yun Jhin had the high ground in this as Yuan Fang had something that he desperately needed... but Yun Jhin could also be killed easily if the other two came back... as for Yuan Fang while he was indeed stronger than Yun Jhin at this moment there was a difference between experience between them, also while Yun Jhin's cultivation did regress his overall combat power stood at the same place, the only thing that was weaker at him right now was his new body because he didn't have time to refine it properly so his healing capability was a bit lower compared to Yuan Fang's.

Yun Jhin could see that Yuan Fang's body had been refined to its maximum capability. It was actually quite normal considering he had taken over the father tree planet and the mother one... he should have quite a big stash of natural spirits in his hands.

Seeing that Yun Jhin was contemplating his offer made Yuan Fang face remain impassive as he said while getting closer to Yun Jhin:

"I see that your new body is quite weak... why don't I help you out with something that you need? An equal exchange, what do you say?"

A frown appeared on Yun Jhin's face... he still didn't trust him as he couldn't gather anything from his expressions or body actions, it was like he was looking at a still frozen lake.

"Want to read my mind don't you? I will tell you truthfully that I don't have any ill will for you Yun Jhin, actually, I quite admire you, being able to defeat my former will so easily with the help of those old fogies that are neither devils nor normal people, from their narrow mindedness I thought they would have made things a little harder for you but it seems I was wrong, you hid yourself a little bit too well."

"I want to ask you something, since you wanted to work with me so sincerely why did you send your goon troops to me and pitted my son against me? Hmm?"

Yuan Fang's expression remained the same as he answered:

"Well as I increased my cultivation I found out the problem with my willpower and earlier it had a bigger influence on me than I thought, I will say it again, we can have this equal trade and we could go each on our ways."

"Two tigers can't live on the same mountain you know that right?"

Yuan Fang chuckled coldly as he put his hand over his face and shook his head as he said:

"We both know that we want to ascend and the universe can only hold one ascendant at a time both you didn't have to make it so obvious right? Now I cannot really say that you will walk away without anything happening to you."

If Yun Jhin remained ignorant of this fact Yuan Fang would have let him alone thinking that his ambition wouldn't be enough for him to reach the ascendence and if he didn't talk about it there would still be problems in the future, but at least they would postpone the current fight.

"I don't really want to fight during my current situation... that's why I had those two guarding me and the others are currently on their own mission, but I guess I shall fight you for now..."

Yuan Fang threw away his robe only leaving his pants and shoes on, his muscles rippled with strength as they increased in size along with his height, he reached 2,10 meters as his azure hair started to change color to a deep purple.

A devil tail grew out of his spine as it moved around menacingly two antlers grew out of his head and his power spiked up by quite a lot as his visible aura turned a crimson color.

"Interesting, so this is why you had your people go in Hell besides scouting information about me."

"Great minds think alike don't you think? I can see that you have gone towards the same conclusion. Ying and Yang united, Hell and Heaven combined, reach Godhood in one step accumulation towards the spirit realm!"

"Indeed..."

Yun Jhin's eyes clouded over as the irises disappeared and one of them turned black and the other azure... devil wings grew out of his back and sharp horns protruded from his head differently shaped compared to Yuan Fang's, his tail that spurted out of his spine was also sharper and it was of white color.

His hair transformed from its black and azure colors into a deep yellow color as his pupils returned reaching a teal color.

His muscles bulged up but his clothes didn't break nor did he remove them as they could still give him some defensive abilities in this situation.

He put one leg back and one in front as he hooked his left hand's fingers and put his arm near his forehead while keeping the other back out, he gave out a mighty shout as his aura became visible as well, it was a greenish-purple one which resembled the color of his soul... flames started to randomly appear around his body as his power reached its apex.

They both transformed at the same time reaching their true form and their peak power, while Yuan Fang was a half-god his complexion didn't look as good as it was normal as he started to sweat green blood from his pores, his head veins also started pulsating as he clenched his arms, it seemed that his second older willpower was already attacking his main soul palace trying to drive out the new willpower out of it.

"You still have a chance to back out and give me the technique Yun Jhin, I will make sure it will be worthwhile your time."

He gestured with his fingers as an image of multiple natural spirits appeared in front of him.

Yun Jhin became reluctant as he saw the number and he could feel that their qualities were pretty high, especially the female one's auras were basically inflated... they were especially taken care of for some reason that Yun Jhin didn't really care about.

"See I'm not lying, thought that we ran out of them right?"

Suddenly he coughed a mouthful of blood as he looked down only to see a punch sinking into his gut.

"If I kill you I will have all of them and I will be able to cultivate properly without worrying about my back being stabbed..."

Air pressure came out of Yuan Fang's back as the strength of the strike became evident... behind him the underground cave started to crack as the air pressure hit the walls and they started to get buried!

"Quite presumptuous of you to think that with your lower cultivation don't you think?"

Yun Jhin looked behind him to see that the one he attacked disappeared, the hit mark was still visible on his bare chest but it was quickly reverting to normal, Yuan Fang cracked his neck as he glared at Yun Jhin and said:

"Since you don't want to come along with the easy way.. we shall do it with the hard way then!"
