The Tide of Battle Turns

"Fairy, do you mean this person went from the Integrated Body Early Stage Realm all the way to the half-step Tribulation Transcendence Realm?" Lu Yang asked in surprise, not understanding what was going on.

The Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence Stage is not a realm, but a symbol of combat power. A cultivator whose combat power surpasses that of an ordinary Body Integration Realm cultivator, but has not yet reached the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, is called a Half-Step Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator.

"Didn't I tell you before? This is a cultivation method that trains the soul, allowing you to manifest in countless forms, experience life, and gain insights into the mortal world, ultimately Body Integration, returning to your peak state, or even reaching a higher level."

"This person's cultivation Cultivation Method is similar to that of Shopkeeper Shi."

Lu Yang took a moment to process what was happening before realizing that the Immortal Fairy was referring to Vice Leader Shi of the Nine Nether Sect.

"Is he a member of the Nine Nether Sect?"

"Not only that, but according to the rule that higher cultivation levels correspond to higher status, I'd guess it's someone like a sect leader."

Lu Yang was surprised and uncertain, but more than that, he was confused.

"Is the Nine Nether Sect so poor that even its leader has to work personally?"

The man in the white paper hat sighed, "All the clones have returned, and these identities can no longer be used. How many Spirit Stones will we have to pay this time?"

"There's nothing we can do; it's because you ancient cultivators have a grudge against us."

He worked hard to earn money because he was worried that his followers would discover that they were burdened with huge loans, which were used to build the Nine Netherworld Sect and to distribute daily allowances.

Even if he's at the half-step Tribulation Transcendence stage now, and even if he reaches the Tribulation Transcendence stage in the future, he might not survive if things are exposed.

We need to find work while we're still alive to fill the gaps in our finances.

The more you earn, the greater your chances of survival.

Vice Leader Shi saw the barbecue restaurant as his lifeline, and the man in the white paper hat thought the same way.

"Who are you!" Wu Youdao demanded.

In front of the righteous sects, the man in the white paper hat naturally could not say that he was a member of the Nine Nether Sect.

He could only sneer.

This is seen as a symbol of mystery by many, even though the identity of the leader of the Nine Nether Sect is indeed mysterious enough.

"Further words are pointless, cultivators of the Great Yu Dynasty. Let's settle our old and new scores together!"

The man in the white paper hat knew that saying too much would lead to more mistakes, so without saying a word, he charged at Wu Youdao.

"How dare you attack me first!"

"The Avici Hell - The Great Millstone!"

A massive iceberg, the size of half the city of Hanshui, condensed above Wu Youdao's head. It resembled ancient, unmelting ice, extremely cold, already touching the edge of extreme cold!

A raging fire erupted beneath Wu Youdao's feet, boundless and vast, like a wildfire, but even fiercer and more intense!

The iceberg and raging fire were like a millstone, and Wu Youdao was right in the middle, unable to move.

"Ha, you dare to use such petty tricks to deal with me?"

"Me too!" Qiu Jinan made his move, quickly forming hand Hand Seals and casting a Five Elements Law Technique.

The coldness of the Eternal Ice intensified, even causing space and time to condense. The raging flames were shrouded in black, these were ghostly flames of the underworld, specifically designed to scorch the soul.

Wu Youdao's expression changed; the combined attack from the two of them was enough to threaten his life!

Click--click--

The sound of grinding bones rang out, and the blood of the Tribulation Transcendence stage flowed out from the edge of the millstone, unable to be frozen or burned.

"The universe in the palm of your hand!"

Wu Youdao roared and unleashed a furious attack. The combined weight of the numerous smaller worlds shattered the millstone of the Avici Hell!

"Form the Three Powers Formation!"

Qiu Jinan gave him confidence after the appearance of the man in the white paper hat.

"I control the power of the five elements and occupy the heavenly position!"

"You've cast the spell of Avici Hell and seized your position!"

"Lord Lü, you are the governor, the official who should be the father and father of the people, yet you occupy such a position!"

The Three Talents Formation is renowned, originating in High Antiquity times, but it is rarely successfully set up due to its extremely high requirements for destiny and cultivation level, making the conditions too demanding.

The three remained silent, standing in the positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man according to their own destinies.

Once the Three Talents Formation was completed, the three of them immediately felt as if they had become a single entity, their strength increased to another level, and their souls became even more solid!

"Great Luo Triple Force!"

Wu Youdao threw a punch, the fist imprint flashing, the space cracking where the fist light passed, sealing off all possibilities of escape.

The fist came from afar and approached. The man in the white paper hat took a punch to the abdomen. The force of the punch was transmitted among the three people. He took the first part, Qiu Jin'an took the second part, and Lu Zhoumu took the strongest part. The power of this punch was weakened to the greatest extent!

With the blessing of the Three Talents Formation, the power of national destiny was transmitted even faster, and the three of them instantly recovered as if they had never been punched!

"Kill!"

The three of them, wielding the Three Talents Formation, unleashed their strongest moves and clashed with Wu Youdao once again.

The four men's bodies were repeatedly blasted apart and then healed each time. What would be fatal to low-level cultivators was nothing to them; it was merely a matter of consuming some spiritual energy.

"Whoosh--whoosh--"

Wu Youdao was panting heavily. In the previous exchange, he had been beaten more times than his opponent, and his spiritual energy had been greatly depleted. Even taking pills wouldn't be enough to recover.

He wanted to escape the battlefield, but was surrounded by three people and unable to break through their defenses.

Damn it!

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

"The Hell of Mortar and Pestle!"

"Zhenshanwei!"

The three unleashed their ultimate attacks, causing the five-colored dragon and tiger energy to dissipate and fail to take shape. Wu Youdao took three blows head-on, leaving his body mangled and slow to recover.

Seeing this, the people of Hanshui City cheered, and the gloom that had hung over them when Wu Youdao first appeared gradually dissipated.

"Stop watching the show and come out to help!" Wu Youdao roared.

A hoarse and somber voice rang out, and a frail old man leaning on a cane suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, this is not like you. You would actually ask for help?"

"Cang Lei, this is not a cry for help, it is my order!" Wu Youdao glared at the old man.

"They're pretty much the same," the old man called Cang Lei laughed, revealing his few remaining teeth.

"Azure Thunder... Could it be Venerable Azure Thunder!" Governor Lu murmured, looking at Qiu Jin'an and the man in the white paper hat in astonishment, seeking confirmation. He saw astonishment in their eyes as well.

Lu Zhoumu and the other two had all heard of the great name of Venerable Cang Lei, and their hearts skipped a beat. He was a powerful cultivator in the early stage of the Tribulation Transcendence who was proficient in Thunder Method.

Another one in the Tribulation Transcendence stage.

If it's this difficult to defeat one Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator, imagine how much more difficult it would be against two?!

"Hehe, the three of you should surrender. Our only goal is the power of the nation's destiny." Venerable Cang Lei chuckled, his voice hoarse and unpleasant. Lightning patterns flickered on his cane, as if lightning would strike if Governor Lü dared to utter a single word of dissent.

Qiu Jinan and the other two remained silent, and an eerie silence fell over them.

Click--

Suddenly, a clap of thunder shattered the silence.

Venerable Azure Thunder was taken aback; he hadn't even made a move yet.

Governor Lü's eyes lit up as he looked in the direction of the thunder. "It's Sect Master! He's about to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage!"

Corpse Exorcism Sect.

Elder Gai spat at the corpses of the Witch Corpse Sect lying scattered about.

"Pah, what kind of garbage is this? They dare to test us with this level of skill? Don't they know how to keep up with the times?"

"You... you're not using the Corpse-Driving Technique..." The last living member of the Corpse-Witch Sect trembled as he raised his hand, pointing at Elder Gai, his life force dimming.

He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. He was still alive, but his body had been refined by Elder Gai, turning him into a living corpse, completely out of his control.

In addition, there are all sorts of strange Law Technique.

Before Elder Gai and his three companions, the ancient corpse-driving technique that the Witch Corpse Sect was so proud of could not gain any advantage.

"Why isn't it the Corpse-Driving Technique? This is an improved version given to us by the Ask Dao Sect!" Elder Gai puffed out his chest, quite proud.

"Everyone, sit down and recover. We'll go to the city to help out later," Elder Gai urged everyone, as they had all been quite exhausted from the battle.

Click--

Thunder roared overhead, and the four elders looked up in astonishment.

Elder Gai was the first to react, and was overjoyed.

"The Sect Master is about to break through!"
