Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

After Cao Meng exposed their secrets, the five elders of the Qingtian Sect turned pale and looked rather unpleasant.

"You traitor Cao, surrender now!"

The five elders rebuked Cao Meng in unison, while simultaneously releasing their Nascent Soul stage aura in an attempt to force him to surrender.

"hehe!"

Cao Meng sneered. These old dogs were trying to make him surrender right off the bat. Did they really think he was so easy to bully?

As the saying goes, you can tolerate your uncle, but you can't tolerate your aunt.

The Qingtian Sect's insolence angered the system administrator so much that he went online and issued a mission:

"Based on the specific situation faced by the host, select the mission reward:"

Option 1: Slaughter the Azure Sky Sect and receive the reward: One scroll of Corpse Refining Secret Technique!
Option 2: Your saintly heart explodes, you surrender, and you receive a saintly heart as a reward!
Option 3: Turn around and leave. Reward: Certificate, you coward!

The system appears democratic, offering Cao Meng three options, but in reality, it only provides one.

"Master, who doesn't know that I, Cao, am the most compassionate person!"

"I choose one: I choose physical purification of the Azure Sky Sect!"

Cao Meng didn't even want to discuss the last two options anymore; were they rewards? They were clearly punishments!

Moreover, Nangong Yan was secretly overseeing the battle. If he let Qingtian Sect go, he would definitely be beaten to a pulp by them!
Therefore, Cao Meng chose to do good deeds, physically liberate the Qingtian Sect, and send them to the Western Paradise.

"You evil spirits of the Azure Sky Sect, I am now giving you a chance. You may now commit suicide and choose a way to die that you like!"

"Otherwise, you'll suffer when I perform a physical purification ritual later!"

As a democratic person, Cao Meng chose to give everyone in the Qingtian Sect the opportunity to commit suicide and choose their preferred method of death.

"You little devil, you're so arrogant!"

The Grand Elder of the Azure Sky Sect angrily rebuked Cao Meng, giving up this opportunity on behalf of everyone in the Azure Sky Sect.

The people of the Azure Sky Sect, relying on the backing of the Profound Sky Sect, are used to acting arrogantly and domineeringly. They would never commit suicide if Cao Meng told them to do so with just a word.

"I've taken pity on you and given you a choice, but since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me!"

Cao Meng thought to himself that it wasn't that he wanted to kill these people, but that they didn't know what was good for them.

If I give them this opportunity, can they really refuse it?

They actually refused their own gift, which meant they were already courting death!
"What nonsense are you spouting? Capture this traitor Cao with all your might! Remember, the sect leader wants him alive!"

Cheng Yun Dao Ren sternly rebuked the five elders, asking if they didn't even understand the principle that villains die from talking too much.

Why not arrest them early and collect the reward?

Moreover, Cheng Yun Dao Ren felt that Cao Meng was not as simple as he appeared. After all, if the other party were really that simple, how could he dare to attack Qing Tian Sect?

Urged on by Cheng Yun Dao Ren, the Grand Elder, who cultivated the metal-attribute technique, mobilized the power of his Dharma Image and unleashed a punch at Cao Meng.

Cao Meng had absolute confidence in his own strength and disdained to evade it.

The elder's punch was blocked by Cao Meng's possessed qi when it was only a foot away from him.

Cao Meng's protective aura was terrifyingly strong, preventing the Grand Elder's punch from advancing even an inch further.

"Old man, although you cultivate a metal-elemental martial art, your fists aren't hard enough!"

It is important to know that among the Five Elements, Metal is associated with killing and destruction, and its attack power is higher than that of the other four elements.

Cao Meng felt that the punch from the Qingtian Sect leader was weak and ineffective, not even remotely powerful, let alone invincible.

It's clear that the opponent's metal-elemental cultivation technique has been wasted over a thousand years.

"Take this punch from me!"

With a loud shout, Cao Meng unleashed his protective aura, which forced the Grand Elder and his Dharma Image to retreat repeatedly.

Cao Meng channeled his innate Geng metal energy into his right arm and unleashed a powerful punch at the Grand Elder of the Qingtian Sect.

Although Cao Meng threw a punch, it was incredibly powerful, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, invincible.

Cao Meng's punch mercilessly pierced through the Grand Elder's Dharma form and struck his true form.

"puff!"

After taking Cao Meng's punch, the Grand Elder of the Azure Sky Sect coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Although he didn't die, he was still suffering.

His protective robes were destroyed, and Cao Meng's punch had dented a large hole in his chest, leaving his flesh a bloody mess.

"How is it possible to injure the Grand Elder with a single punch?"

The other four elders of the Qingtian Sect were also shocked to see Cao Meng injure the sect's second-in-command elder so badly with a single punch.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The Grand Elder of the Qingtian Sect kept coughing up blood. Others thought he was only injured after taking Cao Meng's punch head-on, but he knew very well that he had just had a brush with death.

If it weren't for my immediate and all-out defense, if it weren't for my protective robes, and if it weren't for the fact that I cultivate a metal-attribute technique, making my physical body more powerful than those of cultivators using other attribute techniques...

He was afraid he would really be doomed, his physical body killed by Cao Meng's punch.

That traitor Cao's strength is truly terrifying!

After a moment of reflection, the Grand Elder of the Azure Sky Sect took out a precious healing pill from his storage ring and swallowed it. His injuries immediately improved.

"Use the Five Elements Combined Attack Technique!"

After suppressing his injuries, the Grand Elder immediately ordered the use of the Five Elements Combined Attack Technique.

Through his exchange with Cao Meng just now, he had a good understanding of Cao Meng's strength; in a one-on-one fight, Cao Meng was definitely superior to any of the five elders.

Their only way to win is to use a combined attack technique.

With a command from the Grand Elder of the Azure Sky Sect, the five of them unleashed a combined attack technique, achieving the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements and complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses!

The Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder simultaneously channeled their spiritual power into the First Elder's body.

The Grand Elder's five elements spiritual power surged forth, condensing into five divine swords that attacked Cao Meng.

"The five elements are unified!"

Just as the five divine swords were about to reach Cao Meng, a fierce glint flashed in the Grand Elder's eyes.

He made a hand seal, and the five divine swords merged into one, transforming into a five-colored divine sword that shot towards Cao Meng's vital point!
Cao Meng didn't even bother to dodge or defend, because the outcome was already predetermined.

The Five-Colored Divine Sword struck Cao Meng's vital point, and with a 'crack', it broke and dissipated into the five elements of spiritual energy.

"Your attacks are so weak, like you haven't eaten at all. They don't hurt or itch when they hit you!"

Cao Meng patted the dust off his shoulder, his words full of sarcasm. Did he really think that his perfected innate Geng Metal body was just an ornament?

"Our Five Elements Combined Attack Technique is enough to severely injure a fifth-level Nascent Soul cultivator. How could he possibly withstand it?"

"Cao is the number one genius of the Hehuan Sect. He must have a powerful treasure protecting him. He must have used a powerful treasure to block our attack just now!"

"Yes, that's right, that's definitely how it will be!"

The five elders of the Azure Sky Sect were all depressed and could not believe the result. They could only hypnotize themselves, brainwash themselves, and comfort themselves.

There was nothing they could do; this was their strongest attack yet. How could they believe that their strongest attack was so weak?
"Hehehe, I think that's not the case. The fundamental reason is that you are too weak."

Cao Meng mocked the five elders of the Qingtian Sect with impunity, saying that even if these five were all at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage, they might not be able to harm him.

"You've all made your moves, now it's my turn."

"You evil spirits of the heavens! Today, I, the Supreme Lord, will act on behalf of Heaven, vanquishing demons and monsters! You evil spirits, prepare to die!" "Star-Picking and Moon-Playing Hand!"

After Cao Meng labeled the Qingtian Sect as evil, he immediately countered with a mid-grade Heaven-rank technique from the Hehuan Sect: the Star-Picking and Moon-Playing Hand.

Cao Meng's attack targeted the Grand Elder of the Azure Sky Sect. With nowhere to escape, the Grand Elder's physical body was shattered by the Starry Sky Hand, killing him instantly.

"Great Elder!"

The other four elders exclaimed in alarm as they watched the Grand Elder of the Azure Sky Sect collapse, his body powerless.

Just then, a primordial spirit quietly emerged from the Grand Elder's body, preparing to slip away.

Just when the Grand Elder thought he had escaped Cao Meng's gaze and was planning to seize another body to make a comeback, little did he know that Cao Meng had been watching him all along!

"You want to escape? Dream on!"

"Soul Refining of the Netherworld - Spirit Binding!"

A phantom of a demon god appeared behind Cao Meng, releasing chains to bind his primordial spirit.

Cao Meng quickly collected the primordial spirit and physical body of the Grand Elder of the Qingtian Sect.

These are excellent materials; they can be used for research in the future!
"You traitor Cao, you killed the physical body of my sect's Grand Elder and captured his primordial spirit. You are already courting death!"

When the Fourth Elder of the Azure Sky Sect saw that his elder brother had completely failed, his eyes turned red as he angrily rebuked Cao Meng.

"Old man, your shouting in front of me is a sure way to get yourself killed!"

"One sword separates the worlds!"

Cao Meng took out the Liuhong Sword and immediately launched a killing move. The Fourth Elder had no time to react, and his Dharma form and physical body were cleaved apart by the sword's light.

As a thrifty and hardworking person, Cao Meng immediately took away the physical body and the primordial spirit, keeping them for future use.

"Fourth Elder!"

Two of the five elders of the Qingtian Sect have been captured and killed by Cao Meng in a short period of time.

A tragic atmosphere enveloped the entire Qingtian Sect at this moment, and the remaining three elders were also filled with fear.

"Three elders, you hold him off, I will go and activate the sect's most powerful secret technique!"

Cheng Yun Dao Ren knew that Qing Tian Sect had gone from hunter to prey. Now, to break the deadlock, he either had to wait for Xuan Tian Sect's support or activate Qing Tian Sect's most powerful secret.

Although the Xuan Tian Sect's higher-ups said that reinforcements were on their way and were rushing to the scene, who knew when they would arrive?

Under these circumstances, Master Chengyun felt that activating the sect's core resources was the most reliable approach.

As for why we didn't activate the sect's core resources earlier?
It's just that the Qingtian Sect's foundation is too strong, and the cost of activating it once is too high for the Qingtian Sect to bear!
Now that things have come to this, even Cheng Yun Dao Ren has no other choice.

He has no choice but to believe now and activate the sect's most powerful resources.

As long as Cao can be captured, the Upper Sect, Xuantian Sect, will reimburse all the losses suffered by Qingtian Sect.

After giving instructions to the three elders, Cheng Yun Dao Ren quickly fled in one direction to activate the sect's secret power.

The three elders of Wood, Water, and Earth also knew that at this moment, they could only do their best to resist Cao Meng and help Daoist Chengyun buy time to activate the sect's foundation.

"Disciples of Qingtian Sect, the sect has nurtured you for so many years; it is time for you to share the sect's honor and disgrace!"

"You will all join us in resisting the traitor Cao. Once the sect leader activates the sect's most powerful technique to capture and kill Cao, the sect will reward us handsomely!"

The three elders boosted the morale of the sect and mobilized the disciples of the Azure Sky Sect to surround Cao Meng, intending to fight to the death.

In fact, the three elders knew very well that these disciples with lower cultivation levels could not kill Cao Meng. What they wanted was to use these disciples to deplete Cao Meng's spiritual power.

"No matter how many ants there are, they are still ants!"

Cao Meng would not be intimidated by a swarm of ants. The best way to deal with a dense swarm of ants is to set it on fire.

Following this principle, Cao Meng activated his physical power, revealing his true form.

Three great suns rose from behind Cao Meng, illuminating the entire Qingtian Sect, followed by the manifestation of a 6666-zhang-tall Golden Flame Emperor.

"That traitor Cao is at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage? How is that possible?"

The three elders found it hard to accept the fact that Cao Meng was at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, considering that they had cultivated for a thousand years to reach the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

According to what they had heard, Cao Meng had been cultivating for three years.

Cao Meng had only been cultivating for three years, yet he had already reached the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and his Dharma form was incredibly solid.

When Cao Meng fought them just now, he never used the power of Dharma Form, which means that Cao Meng never really fought.

Compared to Cao Meng, it seems that all their thousand years of cultivation have been for naught.

They hypothesized that if Cao Meng had cultivated for a thousand years, wouldn't he have ascended to immortality?

"Wasn't Cao Cao supposed to be at the half-step Nascent Soul stage? How did he become the sixth level of Nascent Soul?!"

"So Cao Cao was at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage. No wonder he could easily kill the First Elder and the Fourth Elder!"

"The Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fifth Elder are only at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage. How can we possibly fight Cao Meng?"

"Moreover, Cao Cao has three accomplices behind him. Can we really win?"

With Cao Meng's true cultivation level exposed, the morale of the Qingtian Sect began to crumble.

They now doubt whether victory truly belongs to the Azure Sky Sect.

Can they really hold out until the Xuantian Sect comes to their rescue?

"You are confused and do not know the way forward, so I will light the way for you!"

"Jie Jie Jie!"

As Cao Meng laughed, three great suns flew out, hanging high in the three directions of Heaven, Earth, and Man, releasing the power of the sun to envelop the Azure Sky Sect.

Many disciples with lower cultivation levels had their spiritual power dissipated under the illumination of the three great suns, and were scorched to death, their bodies and souls completely destroyed!
The sun is both the most affectionate and the most heartless!

"That damned Cao traitor actually wants to refine the entire Azure Sky Sect!"

The Second Elder, seeing his disciples being scorched to death by the three giant suns summoned by Cao Meng, couldn't help but curse loudly.

"Let's fight that traitor Cao!"

The Third Elder's suggestion was immediately supported by the Second and Fifth Elders.

The three elders exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, their eyes filled with determination.

The three elders immediately unleashed forbidden techniques, causing their cultivation to surge and their Dharma forms to grow rapidly, from four hundred feet to five hundred feet.

"Burning your lifespan, are you preparing to fight to the death?"

Cao Meng immediately realized that the three elders were burning their lifespans in exchange for temporary power.

However, the three elders of the Qingtian Sect are all people who have cultivated for thousands of years, while a Nascent Soul cultivator normally has a lifespan of no more than 2,500 years.

The three elders of the Azure Sky Sect only have a little over a thousand years of lifespan left. Even if they were to burn their life force, how long could they sustain it?

"Unfortunately, you don't have the right to fight to the death!"

Although the three elders temporarily reached the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage by burning their lifespan, Cao Meng still did not take them seriously.

With his fully developed innate Geng Metal body, he was already invincible below the Void Refining stage.

For him, the fourth level of incarnation and the fifth level of deity transformation are the same.

"One sword separates the worlds!"

Cao Meng unleashed another world-shattering sword strike, charging towards the three elders with the force of a creation that could split the heavens and earth. (End of Chapter)
