Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm

Zhu Yunwu's pupils contracted sharply, his four wings bristled, and his smile froze on his face.

As Lu Yang's opponent, he knew all too well just how formidable Lu Yang was.

If Lu Yang were to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, I'm afraid even if he burned his Essence Blood, he still wouldn't be able to defeat his opponent!

Lu Yang approached Zhu Yunwu step by step, making a clattering sound. Each step had a slight pause, and the sound of his footsteps didn't seem to be on the Temple of Heaven, but rather on Zhu Yunwu's spirit altar.

He was relaxed, as if strolling leisurely, and did not take Zhu Yunwu seriously.

He was already at the ninth level of the Golden Core realm, and could break through at any time if he wanted to. However, his plan was to visit the Demon Kingdom and then return to the Ask Dao Sect to break through slowly. After all, it was a major breakthrough, and he wanted to have a sense of ceremony.

Unfortunately, the plans changed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Yunwu shouted and launched the first attack, seizing the initiative!

We absolutely cannot let him succeed in breaking through!

With four wings flapping and six hooves treading the sky, Zhu Yunwu fought desperately, like a mountain torrent and mudslide, tilting downwards!

Boom--

Lu Yang was caught off guard and was knocked away by Zhu Yunwu, crashing into the railing of the Temple of Heaven.

"Phew, it turns out it was just at the end of its rope."

Zhu Yunwu burst into laughter and suddenly relaxed.

That's right. The massive handprint that covered the sky just now had exhausted all of his spiritual power. Where did his opponent get the strength to break through his realm? I was just too nervous.

Pooh.

Lu Yang spat out a mouthful of blood, the blood foam landing on the pure white glass, standing out conspicuously.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up and walked towards Zhu Yunwu, his face still bearing that confident smile.

"Again!"

Zhu Yunwu's eyes instantly turned red, fear spreading through his heart. Like a mad bull, he attacked Lu Yang frantically.

Each time, Lu Yang neither dodged nor avoided, taking Zhu Yunwu's impact head-on. However, with each of Zhu Yunwu's attacks, the distance he was knocked back decreased.

Last time, Lu Yang only retreated half a step.

With each impact, cracks appeared on the surface of the Golden Core, and milky white light shone through the cracks, rapidly healing Lu Yang's injuries.

Boom--

Zhu Yunwu charged forward again, but Lu Yang finally moved. He stretched out his right palm, exerted force, and pressed down on Zhu Yunwu's head, forcefully blocking the attack!

Zhu Yunwu looked up at Lu Yang in disbelief, only to be greeted by a beaming smile... and Lu Yang, Nascent Soul Realm.

His bones crackled and popped as he underwent a bone-tempering process in a short time, resulting in a dramatic improvement in his physical condition.

When essence, energy, and spirit unite as one, and the accumulated invincible momentum serves as a catalyst, they intertwine in the Dantian, giving birth to extraordinary power.

The Invincible Pill shattered completely, and its abundant spiritual power burst forth, coursing through his meridians. A terrifying vortex of spiritual power formed above the Altar of Heaven, frantically pouring into Lu Yang's body, filling his withered meridians, and filling the newborn infant.

At the Dantian, a tiny infant, no bigger than a fingertip, curled up in a ball, radiating a peaceful, milky-white light, receiving spiritual energy from the outside world. It grew larger and larger until it reached three inches in height, at which point the Nascent Soul, capable of moving freely, stopped receiving energy.

Unlike real newborn children, the Nascent Soul was fair and tender, its face full of excitement and joy.

That's it?

Lu Yang tensed his muscles, his body throbbing like a dragon, and with a powerful leap, he punched Zhu Yunwu in the face!

"How is that possible!"

Zhu Yunwu couldn't believe it. Not only could the other party break through to the Nascent Soul Realm at any time, but how could he have such power right after breaking through? Didn't he need to solidify his foundation and hone his Nascent Soul?

Generally, cultivators who break through to the Nascent Soul Realm have a ethereal cultivation level, but they need to spend time consolidating their cultivation.

However, as the strongest Golden Core holder, Lu Yang was undefeated in a hundred battles during the Golden Core stage, winning one victory after another. The invincible momentum he formed directly helped solidify his foundation, so he didn't need to go into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation!

Zhu Yunwu had never encountered such a situation before. He was caught off guard by Lu Yang's series of changes and missed the initiative. Lu Yang didn't even need to use his Swordsmanship; he could suppress Zhu Yunwu with just his fists and feet.

"I will definitely win!"

Zhu Yunwu went berserk, disregarding the consequences, burning his Essence Blood to temporarily boost his combat power.

The onlookers gasped in surprise. Zhu Yunwu's foundation was unstable, and he was burning his Essence Blood to break through at this moment. Even if he won this round, it would be difficult for him to break through in the future!

Zhu Tian's phantom appeared and disappeared behind Zhu Yunwu. As the most powerful ancient ancestor of the Dijiang clan, Zhu Tian was the source of the bloodline. The appearance of Zhu Tian's phantom was one of the characteristics of burning Essence Blood.

We must draw strength from our ancestors to defeat our formidable enemies!

Roar--

Zhu Yunwu roared, completely going berserk. Lu Yang took out a pill and, taking advantage of Zhu Yunwu's roar, flicked it into Zhu Yunwu's mouth with his index finger.

Zhu Yunwu wanted to spit it out, but Lu Yang stepped forward, held his chin up, and made him swallow the pill instinctively.

"What did you feed me?!" Zhu Yunwu exclaimed in surprise.

He felt the power he gained from burning his Essence Blood disappearing rapidly; the pill had actually abruptly interrupted his process of burning his Essence Blood.

Lu Yang explained with a smile, "The Breakthrough Pill can help people break through from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Core stage, and it can also help people break through from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Golden Core stage."

This was when Lu Yang asked the Seventh Elder to refine the Rejuvenation Pill. The Seventh Elder had just refined the Breakthrough Pill beforehand, and as a celebration, he gave Lu Yang one of them.

Zhu Yunwu's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, not only was the power of burning his Essence Blood disappearing, but even his cultivation level was declining!

He completely panicked; how could he possibly fight like this?

"Waste!"

Zhu Tian was furious. He was now certain that the person on the Altar of Heaven was indeed the true Young Master Lu; otherwise, where did such a peerless genius come from?

Regardless of the circumstances, Zhu Yunwu absolutely cannot lose here.

This is a matter of face!

The Demon Kingdom's first battle after its founding was a defeat at the hands of the Heavenly Court, an event that would become a laughing stock for him for the rest of his life!

He separated a wisp of his divine consciousness and attached it to Zhu Yunwu.

"Master..."

"Useless trash, let me do it!"

Zhu Tian temporarily took control of Zhu Yunwu's body, stopping his fall.

"Rise!"

With a soft shout, Zhu Yunwu's cultivation level actually returned to the Nascent Soul Realm!

Lu Yang had just learned from the Immortal Fairy that his opponent had changed from Zhu Yunwu to Zhu Tian Supreme.

He was quite exasperated. It was one thing for the referees from your demon kingdom to be biased, but why did you even involve the referees themselves on the field?

The Immortal Fairy, indignant on Lu Yang's behalf, rolled up her sleeves and charged forward. "That bastard Zhu Tian has been cheating and sly ever since I've known him, and he dares to hit me like this again! Get out of the way, let me handle this!"

Lu Yang summoned a deity to possess him, requesting the Immortal Fairy to act at his whim.

On the other side, Zhu Tian was scolding Zhu Yunwu in his mental space.

"You damned fool! You can't even beat this kind of opponent? You need your master to take action personally. Watch how your master defeats you!"

Zhu Tian controlled Zhu Yunwu's body, bracing himself for a counterattack, when Lu Yang's fist slammed into his face, leaving him dazed.

I could also vaguely hear something about "Fairy Fist Technique".

Zhu Yunwu watched this scene without saying a word, silently and humbly learning from it.

The second update will be at 11 PM.
