In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

"Gu cultivator?"

The northern wilderness.

Upon hearing the roar of the patriarch of the immortal sect, all sentient beings who had gained sentience raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

The burly barbarian warriors, clad in animal skin coats, looked bewildered and confused upon hearing this unfamiliar term.

After all, since the distortion of the Heavenly Dao in this world, the inheritance of the Gu Dao has been nearly severed.

Even if a few cultivators happen to obtain a trace of Gu Dao inheritance from some ancient ruins by chance, it will be immediately erased by the will of Heaven, and they will not be able to grow at all.

Therefore, the vast majority of cultivators do not even know what Gu cultivation is.

Only those experienced and long-lived barbarian warriors tensed up upon hearing these two words, looking as if facing a formidable enemy.

"A Gu cultivator has appeared in the Northern Wilderness? Pass on my order: we must nip it in the bud at all costs!"

Many barbarian elders were shocked and enraged, and issued orders one after another.

However, many young powerhouses were puzzled by this: "Elder, what exactly is that Gu cultivator, and why is there such a big fuss about it?"

"You don't understand, Gu cultivators are the mortal enemies of all cultivators. Once they appear, they will bring the most terrible disaster!"

"This matter is too far-reaching; even the Ancestor must have already learned of it."

"But how did Lu Yuan get involved with Gu cultivators? And wasn't he just a Tribulation Transcending True Monarch? How did he manage to destroy the East Sea Immortal Sect and force its patriarch to such a state?"

Many barbarian elders were filled with anxiety, sensing that a great calamity was about to befall them.

But on the other side.

The barbarian elder was so angry he almost vomited blood, and in his heart he cursed the ancestors of the East Sea Immortal Sect for eighteen generations.

When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.

"Ancestor, what should we do?"

The middle-aged man standing next to the old man also looked very unwell.

As the chieftain of the barbarian tribe, he was well aware of the seriousness of the matter.

If it were an ordinary Gu cultivator, he would definitely use the full strength of his clan to kill him in the shortest possible time.

However, Lu Yuan is a genuine Transcending Tribulation True Monarch.

And single-handedly, he destroyed the entire East Sea Immortal Sect!
Even the five patriarchs of the immortal sects were no match for Lu Yuan, let alone the Northern Wilderness Barbarians.

The barbarian chieftain had a premonition.

If this matter is not handled properly, the entire Northern Wilderness Barbarian Tribe will face annihilation!

"Fellow Daoist, we have never offended the Eastern Sea Immortal Sect in the slightest. Why would you frame my Northern Wilderness Barbarian Clan like this?"

If looks could kill, the patriarch of the immortal sect would probably have been killed countless times by the barbarian elder.

But the patriarch of the immortal sect had no scruples, acting as if he had nothing to lose.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Even if they can't escape death themselves, they'll find someone to take them down with them.

“Fellow Daoist Barbarian Ancestor, now is not the time to be angry. Let’s think of a way to deal with this scoundrel Lu Yuan first.”

The patriarch of the immortal sect laughed triumphantly, showing no concern whatsoever that the barbarian elder might change his mind at the last minute.

After all, Gu cultivators are the mortal enemies of all cultivators.

If the barbarian elder dares to let Lu Yuan go, then the Northern Wilderness Barbarians will face the purge of the entire cultivation world!
The barbarian elder remained silent, his gaze shifting back and forth between Lu Yuan and the immortal sect patriarch.

After a while.

He gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.

"Things have come to this point, there is no other way but to fight. Let's make our move."

The old barbarian sighed, as if resigned to his fate.

He made a grasping motion in mid-air, and a stone axe instantly appeared in his hand.

The stone axe had a rugged shape and its surface was covered with knife and sword marks, as if it came from the ancient wilderness, exuding an aura of antiquity and desolation.

The axe blade was imbued with Daoist energy, and its sharpness was enough to split the heavens and earth and shatter the void, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling!

This is precisely the law of the barbarian tribes passed down through generations.

Barbarian God Ax!
Legend has it that in the ancient times when people ate raw meat and drank blood, the northern wilderness was desolate and uninhabited, a desolate place occupied by countless ferocious beasts.

But the first ancestor of the barbarians, wielding this axe, led his people through thorns and brambles, killing countless ferocious beasts and enemies, and carved out a living space for the barbarians in this wild land.

It can be said that the Barbarian Axe, as the supreme sacred object of the Barbarians, not only witnessed the rise and glory of the Barbarians, but also contained unparalleled power and might.

This axe was refined and tempered by the barbarians day after day, year after year.

Its power is so terrifying that it even surpasses the three immortal mountains of the East Sea Immortal Sect!
"boom!"

As soon as the barbarian elder grasped the axe handle, the totems and patterns on his skin seemed to come alive.

Those totems shone with dazzling divine light, and endless, boundless energy surged within his body, causing his body to suddenly swell to hundreds of feet tall!

He stood on the void, holding a giant axe, like a primordial giant who created the world!

Its terrifying aura caused a hint of seriousness to flash in Lu Yuan's eyes.

Although the Immortal Sect Ancestor and the Barbarian Elder were both Tribulation Transcending cultivators, the former had suffered severe injuries and had not yet recovered his vitality.

The barbarian elder was at the peak of his strength, and with the Barbarian God Axe being unparalleled in killing, it was an invincible weapon.

The combination of these two factors would likely be enough to sweep away the vast majority of experts of the same level!
"kill!"

Holding a sharp weapon, the desire to kill arises naturally.

The barbarian elder, wielding a battle axe, mustered all his strength and suddenly slashed fiercely at Lu Yuan, who was not far away.

"Crack!"

A massive axe-shaped beam instantly tore through the void, descending from the sky with unparalleled power.

"These barbarian fools are indeed stubborn; once they've made up their minds about something, they won't easily change their minds."

"However, since the Barbarian Ancestor has personally taken action, he might be able to buy me some time."

The patriarch of the immortal sect was overjoyed.

He shouted that he would join forces with the barbarian elder to fight the enemy, but his figure quietly retreated to the rear of the battlefield.

However, just as the battle axe was about to split Lu Yuan in two...

The savage god axe suddenly made a 180-degree turn, drawing a long arc in the void, and suddenly slashed down at the immortal sect patriarch.

The patriarch of the immortal sect had previously fled for his life, burning a large amount of his essence and life force, and was already on the verge of exhaustion.

Furthermore, given that the barbarian elder was acting with ulterior motives while the man was caught off guard, how could he possibly react in time?

"Shh!"

Caught off guard, the patriarch of the immortal sect was struck squarely by the sharp axe blade.

"I never imagined that after a lifetime of scheming, I would end up scheming against myself..."

He stood there blankly, a bitter smile on his face, and sighed with great reluctance.

Followed by.

The annihilation power within the axe's edge erupted with a deafening roar, obliterating all life force and traces of the Dao.

A streak of blood appeared between the eyebrows of the Immortal Sect Ancestor, piercing through his head and primordial spirit, splitting him in two!
A dignified True Lord who had transcended tribulation has fallen in sorrow!

"That's interesting. You killed him, aren't you afraid of making enemies of all the holy lands and major religions?"

Looking at this sudden scene, Lu Yuan asked with great interest.

"Fellow Taoist, you are joking."

“If I don’t kill him, the entire Northern Wilderness Barbarian Tribe will be destroyed because of him.”

The old barbarian felt no joy or pride in killing a Transcending Tribulation True Monarch; instead, he was filled with sorrow and bitterness.

If he had even the slightest choice, he wouldn't have come to this.

But he knew very well what was going on in his heart.

Lu Yuan is very strong, so strong that it could be said that he is invincible.

Even if the barbarian elder were to bring along the entire Northern Wilderness barbarian tribe, they might not be able to pose a threat to Lu Yuan!

The patriarch of the immortal sect publicly announced to the world that Lu Yuan's identity had been completely exposed, a move that can be described as extremely sinister.

If the barbarian elder becomes Lu Yuan's enemy, the Northern Wilderness Barbarians will surely suffer the same fate as the Eastern Sea Immortal Sect.

However, if the barbarian elder pretends to be unaware and deliberately lets Lu Yuan go, the Northern Wilderness barbarians will become the target of public criticism and may even be held accountable by the will of Heaven.

This also means that no matter what choice he makes.

The barbarian tribes of the Northern Wilderness were all destined for destruction; the only difference was whether they died sooner or later.

Faced with this dead end, the barbarian elder's best solution was to kill the immortal sect's patriarch and give Lu Yuan a token of loyalty.

Then, before things are exposed, prepare a way out as much as possible to give the barbarians a chance to survive. "A wise man submits to circumstances; you do have some guts."

Lu Yuan's tone carried a hint of approval.

"However, since you are a Tribulation Transcending True Monarch, you must already know the truth about this world."

"Gu cultivators and parasites are mortal enemies, and even if you offer your pledge of allegiance, I, Lu, will find it difficult to let you go."

Lu Yuan abruptly changed the subject, his tone suddenly becoming incredibly cold.

Those who are not of our race will surely have different hearts.

in his perspective.

Whether it's an ancestor of the immortal sect or an elder of the barbarian tribe, they are nothing more than deformed monsters with twisted flesh and blood, parasitized by the insect race.

The biggest difference between them and other parasitic monks is that...

The lower-level cultivators were kept in the dark and had no idea about the truth of the parasitic infection.

However, the True Monarch who transcends tribulation can merge with heaven and earth, and has experienced many natural disasters and calamities. He has long understood the truth of this world and is willing to transform into a true parasitic race!
therefore.

Lu Yuan never showed any mercy when dealing with these people.

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. Whether we are cultivators or insectoids, we are all just struggling to cross the sea of ​​suffering."

"If given a choice, who would willingly choose to end up like this?"

The old barbarian sighed.

How could he not understand the cruel truth of parasitism in this world?

However, in the face of the omnipotent will of Heaven, the power of an individual is too insignificant. Even as a Tribulation Transcending True Monarch, he can only eke out a living in this world.

Lu Yuan stared at the barbarian elder without saying a word.

Although the Eye of Truth can see through falsehoods and see the truth directly.

However, advanced parasitic races like the barbarian elders, who already possess their own thoughts, are absolutely unwilling to simply become food and sustenance for the will of Heaven.

Therefore, even Lu Yuan had some difficulty in discerning the truth.

Are they a parasitic race in human skin, or is there still a trace of humanity within their twisted and deformed bodies?
Lu Yuan remained silent for a long time before speaking again.

"You colluded with the Gu cultivators to kill the patriarch of the immortal sect, which violated the taboo of the will of Heaven. You will be punished sooner or later."

"Moreover, you know better than I do that the Gu cultivators and the insect race are sworn enemies, with absolutely no room for reconciliation."

With each word Lu Yuan spoke, the old barbarian's face grew more sorrowful.

I can't beat them in a fight, and I can't escape either.

Is there really nothing we can do but wait to die?
Just as his heart sank into the abyss and he was in utter despair.

Lu Yuan's next words, however, gave him a glimmer of hope.

"But there's always a way out. If you want me to let the Northern Wilderness Barbarians go, there is a way."

"What method do you have? Please speak frankly, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope suddenly shone in the old barbarian's dim and gray eyes.

It's like a drowning person seeing the last straw before they die.

He was determined to seize this opportunity, no matter the cost!
"It's very simple, just let the Northern Wilderness Barbarians inherit my Gu Dao legacy."

Lu Yuanyu said calmly.

But to the barbarian elder, it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, leaving his head buzzing and his mind blank.

Are you kidding me?
Turn all the barbarians into Gu cultivators?

It should be understood that Gu cultivators and parasitic cultivators are inherently irreconcilable enemies.

If the Northern Wilderness Barbarians relocate their people now, they might be able to preserve a sliver of their civilization.

However, if one inherits Lu Yuan's Gu Dao legacy, then one has truly embarked on a path of no return!

Upon hearing this suggestion, the barbarian elder's first reaction was that Lu Yuan had gone mad.

But when he calmed down and thought it over carefully, he realized that this was indeed the only way out for the Northern Wilderness Barbarians.

After all, by protecting the Gu cultivators, he has already placed himself on the opposite side of the cultivation world.

Even if other holy lands and major sects do not take action, the will of Heaven will personally step in to settle accounts.

Even if they escape to the ends of the earth, they will still face certain death.

the most important is.

Lu Yuan is also watching us closely from the sidelines.

If he dares not agree, I'm afraid the barbarians of the Northern Wilderness won't even live to see tomorrow.

Thinking about this.

The old barbarian sighed deeply and could only agree to Lu Yuan's suggestion.

After reaching a consensus.

Lu Yuan no longer pursued the past grievances between himself and the barbarians.

Next.

With the cooperation of the barbarian elder.

Lu Yuan didn't spend much effort and took over the entire Northern Wilderness without shedding a drop of blood!

……

The ancestral land of the barbarians.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged, carefully examining the rough stone axe in his hand.

The stone axe is engraved with many patterns and runes, each line formed by the laws and principles of Dao.

This is the supreme sacred artifact of the barbarians.

Barbarian God Ax!
Even in its dormant state, this axe still exudes overwhelming power.

This is why Lu Yuan, as a Tribulation Transcending True Monarch, has already condensed his own Law Dao Marks.

If it were any other Nascent Soul cultivator, they probably wouldn't even be qualified to touch this battle axe!

Barbarian warriors are born with superhuman strength, making them easily favored by the laws of force.

Before each barbarian patriarch passed away, he would imprint all the laws and Dao traces he had cultivated throughout his life onto the Barbarian God Axe.

Passed down through generations, the Dao traces on this axe have reached an unbelievable level!

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. Observing the Dao traces of the Barbarian God's Axe, your understanding of the Dao of Power has increased dramatically!]

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. By browsing the barbarian body-refining techniques and imprinting numerous laws and Dao traces into your flesh and bones, your physical strength has been greatly enhanced!]

A series of notification sounds followed.

Lu Yuan's aura surged wildly, as if an ancient giant was awakening from a deep slumber.

The surrounding space trembled as powerful spiritual energy swept in like a storm, transforming into a spiritual energy storm that poured into Lu Yuan's body.

Inside Lu Yuan's dantian.

The Supreme Immortal Embryo was forming hand seals, his fingertips shimmering with brilliant spiritual light. Every movement seemed to be in harmony with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, capable of resonating with the laws!

Especially as Lu Yuan refined a large number of power laws, the seventh-rank power immortal gu seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, and its aura became more and more terrifying!
"Crack!"

When the power of the seventh-level Immortal Gu reached its peak, a deafening thunderclap suddenly resounded throughout the world.

The dark clouds parted, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

A thick bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, illuminating the heavens and earth, and struck directly down on Lu Yuan's head.

Immortal Gu is not tolerated by Heaven and Earth.

This is a calamity sent down by Heaven to eliminate everything that can threaten Him!
The moment the lightning struck Lu Yuan's body, the terrifying power of the lightning tribulation, like a raging storm, completely engulfed the Power Immortal Gu, as if it were about to tear him apart.

however.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and endured the force with all his might.

The Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu formed hand seals faster and faster, its movements becoming increasingly profound and complex, attempting to refine all the power of the lightning tribulation!

"boom!"

Accompanied by a loud bang.

Lu Yuan's body nearly exploded, but the next second, a surge of life energy rushed in, instantly restoring all his injuries to their original state.

His meridians and bones became increasingly resilient, as if forged from divine iron, exuding a sacred aura that was indestructible and eternally immortal.

Especially as time went by, Lu Yuan's aura finally reached its peak.

An unprecedented power erupted from his body, soaring into the sky and causing the heavens and earth to change color!
"Is this the strength of the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage?"

Lu Yuan felt the almost inexhaustible power within his body, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face. (End of this chapter)
