Reverse Assault

"The power of the Violet Palace."

Su Luo frowned, glanced at the group of Foundation Establishment cultivators lying around her, then looked at Qingyun Zhenren, who was illuminating half the night sky in the distance, and shook her head.

"It feels like the Violet Palace and Foundation Establishment cultivators are from completely different worlds. It's really strange. Their power differs by thousands of times. This isn't just due to Attributes and techniques; it's more like... they appeared out of thin air?"

Two hours after Yili Zhenren left, Su Luo, having restored his Attributes to level 18, decisively took action, dealing with the dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators around him, as well as several Transformation cultivators who had been eyeing him covetously, mainly through incapacitation and sealing techniques.

Perhaps it was because the golden scroll contained the inscription "[Reversal of Aptitude: Pillow Smoke Quality]", but these guys always looked at Su Luo with intense fervor, unlike most cultivators who were detached from worldly desires.

She packed up the surrounding resources: Spirit Stones, pills, Talisman Arts, and a few high-quality magical artifacts. Su Luo then spent some time perfecting the Inner Circulation, constructing the lower form of the Heartfire, readjusting it in the Qi environment of this era, and refining several sets of Array Formations and a stack of Talisman Arts.

After packing up, he decisively left the Throne Spirit rich mountain and headed towards --

The residence of the Outer Sect disciples.

Qingyun Zhenren was purging traitors and rebels from the Inner Sect when Yili Zhenren, probably attracted by the "similar aura" he had mentioned, or perhaps startled awake by watching Qingyun Zhenren's deathbed.

Su Luo relied on her extreme speed of rebuilding to raise her combat power to a level surpassing the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection and Pseudo Violet Palace, naturally not to participate in any Violet Palace War.

You absolutely must come! Please be considerate and allow for adjustments!

Reversing one's cultivation realm is First Ring of the cultivation world.

"As mentioned before, the Immortal Sect is a gathering place for Survivors. Now, in less than a day, Survivors born in the Azure Cloud Sect have already infiltrated. Those born nearby have probably taken advantage of the chaos to get in as well."

Su Luo flew straight towards the outer gate of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Below are continuous mountain peaks, their summits covered with dense bamboo forests. The swaying bamboo shadows resemble a black sea under the Moonlight.

The Outer Sect disciples' residences are scattered among the valleys and peaks, looking from a distance like chess pieces scattered on a chessboard, numbering over 100,000.

After all, Azure Cloud Sect is the only Violet Palace Immortal Sect in Pagoda County, and its talent pool covers the entire county, so it still has a considerable number of cultivators.

Among these 100,000 people, there will definitely be Survivors.

Who goes there?

A sharp shout came from ahead, and a Talisman Arts with a long tail of flame shot into the air, exploding more than ten feet in front of Su Luo, transforming into a golden light shield, attempting to block her path.

Su Luo looked down and saw an elder in the late Foundation Establishment standing on the watchtower at the Inner Sect, holding a second Talisman Arts in his hand and pressing his other hand on the Heart Nexus of the Array Formation, his whole body surging with Qi.

Su Luo was too lazy to slow down and ignored him. She casually tore apart the fully activated Talisman Arts that had flown in, and her Divine Power turned into countless fine threads. At the same time, the Runes on the Talisman Arts went out, lost their Spiritual Light, and fell from the sky.

The light shield shattered into points of light in front of Su Luo, scattering Heavenly Stars across the sky. Su Luo passed through the points of light without her robes being touched by any residual light, and then she left.

"Huh? A real person?!"

The elder was dumbfounded as he stared at the Talisman Arts that had been casually destroyed.

The Talisman Arts was a high-grade one he cast at a crucial moment. When fully activated at the late Foundation Establishment, it was powerful enough to withstand a full-force attack from a cultivator of the same level. To break it so easily, who else could it be but Violet Palace Adept has immersed themselves in Talisman Arts for many years?

Foundation Establishment cultivators don't have that much time to comprehend the Talisman Arts; all cultivation Craft require Talent and time to develop!

After a moment's hesitation, the elder sat down cross-legged on the spot, pretending that he hadn't seen anything.

The Inner Sect 'Qingyun Zhenren is cleaning up the sect, seemingly about to completely ascend to immortality. Additionally, Yili Zhenren suddenly arrives with Dao Lord decree, his intentions clearly hostile. Meanwhile, a mysterious Outer Sect Zhenren makes no attempt to conceal his presence, his purpose unknown.

The Azure Cloud Sect, which had been quiet for a month, suddenly saw three Violet Palace appear overnight, making it incredibly lively!

The Caoyuanshi assumes a boxing stance, with one foot in front of the other, knees slightly bent, back straight, and fists tucked to the waist.

A terrifying aura emanated from him, connecting heaven and earth, drawing in the surrounding Qi, pouring it in from the top of his head and surging out from the soles of his feet, circulating it throughout his body, and transforming it into his own power.

"Even without the Martial Will, I can still cultivate!"

Caoyuanshi calmly observed the person before him, his movements swift and decisive, unleashing a punch. A burst of blood-red energy shot into the sky, exploding in the night air, collapsing surrounding houses, filling the air with smoke and sending debris flying. As the dust settled, the figure confronting him was revealed.

"Oh, you can cultivate, so what?"

Luther's expression was arrogant, Talent was constantly being activated. Every half second, his aura would increase slightly, and his basic Attributes would increase at a terrifyingly high rate, albeit with small but extremely high frequency.

Having played the Survival Game for so long, he has developed many methods and put his Talent [Dream Game] into new ways. Now, he is constantly pulling the surrounding Outer Sect disciples into his dreams to plunder their energy and improve himself.

All the planning and disguises during the day, finally getting into the Azure Cloud Sect to make it easier to harvest at night, were ruined by this brute!

The Caoyuanshi slowly shook its head.

"With a mere 14 Attributes, which translates to just over Qi Refining Perfection in this world, how dare you speak to me?"

"Burn! Sacrifice—bad luck! Injuries! Pain!"

The golden flames instantly engulfed the injuries and negative status effects on the Caoyuanshi, and its condition slightly improved. He has now even learned to Sacrifice these things.

"Ignite! Sacrifice— Dreamscape Incarnation!"

With a casual Sacrifice of his Dreamscape Incarnation, the Caoyuanshi, unaffected by Luther's Talent, experienced a surge in aura, quickly surpassing Luther.

A golden dragon, formed from Blood Qi and Qi, flew out from his fist. Golden flames coiled around its body, its head held high, and its Dragon Claws tore through the air. Following the extremely fast afterimage of the Caoyuanshi, it pounced towards Luther.

Luther's pupils contracted, and he retreated violently, simultaneously waving his hands to create layer upon layer of barriers in the air.

The next instant, Luther's sternum cracked with a crisp sound, but quickly returned to its perfect state.

Even though the Outer Sect disciples nearby had their bodies shattered by the aftershocks of the battle, they showed no signs of waking up. They remained with their eyes closed, a slight smile on their lips, as if they were having a sweet dream.

The Outer Sect disciples, looking bewildered, approached and watched the two engage in a passionate battle.

"What's going on? Why are Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting in the Outer Sect so late at night?!"

"I don't know? The sect leader has only been dead for a month, how come they've already started fighting?"

What does my monthly salary of 3,000 jin of rice have to do with me?
