Chapter 195: Tribulation Crossing, Slaying All, Unrivaled in the Return-to-Void Realm
You dispelled the formation, holding the Human Sovereign Banner, and looked up at the Tribulation Cloud above, a flicker of anticipation on your face.
The Heavenly Tribulation was something other cultivators avoided at all costs, but to you, it was a great tonic for strengthening your physical body!
If not for the many cultivators present, you would have already charged into the Lightning Tribulation to begin refining your body.
“Are you all right?” Ancestor Mo Yang returned to your side and asked with a frown.
“I’m fine. Those formation masters have already been dealt with.”
“Good. You return to the sect first and focus on your tribulation. I am here.” Ancestor Mo Yang advised.
You shook your head and pointed at the several dozen Fusion realm cultivators on the opposite side. “Ancestor, can you hold them off?”
“Yes.” Ancestor Mo Yang nodded confidently.
“Then it’s settled, Ancestor. I’ll be back in a moment!” You shot into the air and dove headfirst into the Lightning Tribulation, giving Ancestor Mo Yang no chance to refuse.
Within the Lightning Tribulation, you fully activated the Heavenly Lightning Body-Refining Art and began absorbing and refining the Heavenly Lightning.
You knew time was precious. The enemy could not possibly let you succeed so easily, so you had to absorb as much Heavenly Lightning as possible before they stopped you.
As your physical body was tempered by the Heavenly Lightning, the Human Sovereign Banner in your hand was also undergoing some kind of transformation within the Tribulation Cloud.
“Kill!” Just as you hid within the Tribulation Cloud to refine your body, a figure suddenly intruded, raising a longsword and thrusting it straight at you!
You raised your left hand, clenched it into a fist, and threw a fierce punch that collided with the sword.
“You’re actually a Body Cultivator!!!” Lan Wusheng retreated more than a dozen steps, shocked.
You glanced at him indifferently, slowly stood up, and set the Human Sovereign Banner aside to continue its transformation.
“The number one of the Return-to-Void realm. You do have some strength.”
“I am Lan Wusheng of the Lan Clan. I have come to seek your guidance!” Lan Wusheng said with clasped fists.
“Tch!” You let out a scoff, then stepped forward and appeared directly behind Lan Wusheng. A punch followed immediately!
Your incomparably powerful physical strength erupted in full. Catching him off guard, Lan Wusheng was blasted straight out of the Tribulation Cloud and slammed heavily into the ground. He lay in the crater without moving, his life or death unknown.
“Is that all?” You smiled contemptuously, stretched your body, and charged down.
You felt your physical strength had reached its limit. Boundless power filled your entire body, and you urgently needed a battle to vent it.
Lan Wusheng, who had originally been playing dead, scrambled to his feet and fled in panic, shouting as he ran, “You said this was a spar, and you actually want to kill me?!!!”
Seeing you unmoved, Lan Wusheng quickly shouted at the top of his lungs, “Elders, First Elder! Come save me!!!”
“You dare harm my clan’s Young Patriarch? You’re courting death!” An aged voice rang out. A Fusion realm expert suddenly appeared and blocked your path.
You were forced to stop. You frowned and glanced at the man. Before you could act, a voice sounded from behind you.
“Leave this one to me, Sect Master. Go after the others. There will not be a single Fusion realm cultivator who interrupts your battle!”
You turned and saw a Fusion realm Ancestor of the Heavenly Blade Sect.
You nodded. “Then I will have to thank you, Ancestor.”
You did not even spare the opposing Fusion realm cultivator a glance. Both fists clenched, you charged straight into the enemy’s grand formation of Return-to-Void realm cultivators.
“Come fight!”
You tore with both hands, and a Return-to-Void realm cultivator was ripped in half by sheer force!
Blood drenched your body, making you look utterly bloodthirsty.
A punch was thrown, and a late-stage Return-to-Void realm cultivator exploded under your fist, turning into a rain of blood.
Under your cruel slaughter, the Imperial Clan scions and the Return-to-Void realm cultivators of the various major powers were all terrified of you and dodged out of your way.
“No, don’t come closer!”
“A devil! You’re a devil!” Lan Wusheng trembled as he looked at you. The Return-to-Void realm cultivators who had stood in front of him had all been killed by you.
You walked forward, one step at a time. With every step you took, Lan Wusheng’s fear grew.
By the time you reached Lan Wusheng, there was nowhere left to run. He finally collapsed to his knees before you and begged for mercy.
“Don’t kill me, please don’t kill me!”
“I’m the Lan Clan Young Patriarch. I can make the Lan Clan withdraw!”
“Yes, I can make the Lan Clan withdraw! Join forces with your Heavenly Blade Sect against the Imperial Family!” Lan Wusheng said, trembling all over.
“Oh? Is that so?” You looked down, your gaze fixed on Lan Wusheng.
“It’s true, everything I said is true! Believe me!” Lan Wusheng, as if clutching at a lifeline, hastily promised.
“Good. Give the order now. Let me see it.”
You extended a hand and lifted Lan Wusheng directly into the air.
Looking back, you realized only then that you had unknowingly carved a path straight through the entire battlefield!
With no Fusion realm cultivator to stop you, you were invincible among the Return-to-Void realm!
Holding Lan Wusheng in one hand, you stood in the void, looking down at the countless cultivators below.
“Disciples of the Lan Clan, I am the Lan Clan Young Patriarch, Lan Wusheng!”
“This Young Patriarch now orders you: stop the campaign against the Heavenly Blade Sect!”
“We will join forces with the Heavenly Blade Sect against the Li imperial family!”
The moment Lan Wusheng finished speaking, you sensed a lethal threat. You quickly dropped him and used your divine ability, Shrinking the Earth to an Inch!
In the next instant, just as you returned above the sect, you saw Lan Wusheng’s head being gripped by the Lan Clan Patriarch, a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator.
Bang! His skull exploded, and the Lan Clan Young Patriarch died on the spot!
“Are you all right?” Ancestor Yunyi appeared beside you and asked.
“I’m fine. Ancestor, how are things on your end?” You shook your head and asked.
“Sigh.” Ancestor Yunyi let out a sigh, then said helplessly, “I never expected that even the Heavenly Dao would no longer stand on our side!”
“Hm???” At the mention of the Heavenly Dao, you remembered that Sky-Piercing Giant, riddled with holes.
“But fortunately, they cannot gain much advantage for now. Our Heavenly Blade Sect is temporarily safe!”
“Sect Master Ye is quite capable!” The Lan Clan Patriarch glanced at you coldly and warned, “You should know, a monster that has yet to fully mature does not amount to much!”
“Heh. If the Lan Clan Patriarch has the leisure, you might want to worry about your own juniors.”
“So many of them, and not a single one could last a single exchange in This Sect Master’s hands.”
“Truly worthless!” You mocked. The return of the top combatants from the various major powers told you this battle was over.
