Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 340 Heavenly Tribulation, Jiuxiao Xuanzhen Destroys the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation (Part , please subscribe!)
Golden clouds rolled above the sky and the sword light turned into a rainbow.

Lu Cheng hid in a swarm of poisonous golden silkworms, using the Netherworld Flying Sword to protect himself. He returned to Zhiguan Mountain and survived the catastrophe.

His eyes were slightly closed at this time, his mind was clear, the golden elixir in his body was shattered, and golden meridians extended from it, transmitting the pure magic power to the Jade Infant of Creation.

At this moment, the white jade baby that settled in Huangting opened its spiritual eyes, and the divine light illuminated its internal organs and the mysterious gates of qi.

When he looked up, he even saw a golden light spreading out, shocking the heaven and earth. The bones, muscles, blood vessels and meridians inside were all clear and distinct as if they were right in front of his eyes.

Outside, the cultivator's consciousness seemed to spread and expand infinitely, passing through the sky, earth, mountains, rivers, stars, the sun... It seemed to be through the sky and the earth, reaching nowhere.

This is the supreme Taoist realm that countless cultivators in the Tongxuan Realm have dreamed of throughout their lives. Through Taoist practice, they can restore their essence, energy and spirit to the state of an innate infant, and then use the vast universe as their mother body to achieve infinite life.

There is a rhyme saying:

"Since you don't eat, you will exceed 100 billion, and your mouth and nose will not breathe. The real person uses the heels and the throat, and from then on, the real and the real stand on both sides. At this point, you will become a leak-free body, and the fetal breath will surge with real fire in the dantian.

From then on, Laozi was called the infant, and the nine years of fire and fire had passed. He remained in the world without knowing spring, and suddenly the top of the sky gate was broken.

The Immortal has shown great supernatural powers, and from now on the celestial beings can congratulate each other."

Just as Lu Cheng was sensing the transformation and sublimation of his life inside his body, which had shrunk a hundred times like a bright jade, he suddenly frowned slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Cheng shook his sleeves and summoned the magic weapon, the Samsara Banner. On this long banner, the flag was flying, circling in the air, expanding and shrinking from time to time.

"Since you don't want to stay in here, then go out."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed. The chaotic hole on the Samsara Banner suddenly expanded, and a green light came out of it and flew away in an instant.

With the power of Lu Cheng's magic pupil, he could see clearly that the green light was a piece of cloth embroidered with pavilions, towers, terraces, corridors and boats, an endless and magnificent scene.

There were countless people attending the banquet with lanterns on, but those wearing gorgeous robes and Taoist robes were not human beings, but laughing skeletons.

"I never thought that this is the true form of the Heavenly Demon Palace. The senior who refined this treasure back then had such a deep cultivation and strong obsession. It is truly terrifying."

"Master, the Heavenly Demon Palace has been badly damaged. Why didn't you let me capture it, but let it go so easily?"

At this time, the Netherworld Flying Sword had a thought, feeling puzzled.

"Yang Tianshu self-destructed his Nascent Soul. He wanted to die with the Heavenly Demon Palace. That's why my Samsara Banner couldn't suppress them."

"The Sky Demon Palace is unmanned and probably seriously injured, and its power has been greatly reduced. Like me, it has grown in spirituality and is very likely to be promoted to the seventh-level treasure. Master, why doesn't you let me capture it and add another treasure?"

“Because the obsession of this treasure is freedom. After thousands and tens of thousands of years of nurturing, the inner demon has become extremely terrifying. If I forcibly subdue it, it will probably self-destruct like Yang Tianshu. At that time, even if it is seriously injured, are you sure you can stop it?

Netherworld, when you fight with someone, you must not only observe yourself but also the other person, and you must fully trust your opponent. If you only observe yourself but not the other person, one day you will encounter a bottleneck that will be difficult to overcome in your lifetime."

"...Thank you for your teachings, Master."

The Netherworld Flying Sword thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed true. The reason why he wanted to intercept the Heavenly Demon Palace was because he sensed that it was seriously injured and he had a good chance of intercepting it.

The Netherworld Flying Sword is different from the Heavenly Demon Palace Sword. When Lu Cheng refined it, he left enough space for it to practice on its own. In addition to the magic of the Netherworld Magic Pearl, the accumulation of millions of blood sacrifices and the mystery of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sutra, as a magic weapon alone, the Netherworld Flying Sword is more suitable for independent combat than the Heavenly Demon Palace Sword.

Lu Cheng refined the Netherworld Flying Sword with the intention of accepting a disciple, but the person who refined it at the time in the Heavenly Demon Palace did not have this intention. If he allowed the Heavenly Demon Palace to practice on its own, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
The swarm of poisonous golden silkworms and the flying sword of the underworld flew thousands of miles across the sky and sent Lu Cheng back to Zhiguan Mountain.

At this moment, there were thick calamity clouds above Taoist Lu Cheng’s head, stretching for hundreds of miles, with red and purple lightning flying through them, as if the end of the world had come.

But in this short period of time, the jade-like baby in Lu Cheng's body has grown bigger and more solid. His body is no longer illusory and transparent, and it seems that he has completely digested and absorbed the golden elixir.

There were five-colored lights swirling around it. They were five flying swords that had transformed into sword threads, its natal flying sword.

Rumble, rumble.

The first thing was a red flash of lightning, like a giant meteorite falling from the sky, it fell with great power, making people tremble with fear and terrified.

"what!"

Inside the Taoist temple on Zhiguan Mountain, Madam Baoxiang, who was originally worried about her son-in-law, suddenly screamed in surprise at the thunder.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Taoist Huang Longzi's expression changed and he asked anxiously.

After all, Madam Baoxiang was a female cultivator who had practiced Taoism for many years, so it was impossible for her to be frightened by the thunder, but at this moment her face was pale.

Not only her, but also the Xiao sisters, Xue Yuzhen, Yun Ling'er and her daughter, and alchemy fanatic Huo Xiu all had grim expressions.

"It was the thunder sound that affected us. We achieved enlightenment with the Ghost Infant Pill, and our foundation is weak and unstable. How can we stand firm in our position as Ghost Immortals under this Heavenly Punishment? Grand Elder, please allow Huo Xiu to leave this place for the time being."

After saying this, Dan Chi Huo Xiu turned into a beam of light and escaped into the distance, directly leaving Zhiguan Mountain.

He has been obsessed with alchemy all his life, and his foundation in Taoism is not even as good as Xue Yuzhen and Yun Linger. Why not leave?
Taoist Huang Longzi waved his sleeves, and the entire Taoist palace was shrouded in a spiritual light, which greatly reduced the impact of the thunder sound outside.

"But, just the aftermath of the thunder sound is already so terrifying. The intensity of this heavenly tribulation is even far greater than the heavenly tribulation I experienced!"

The first lightning of the heavenly tribulation struck the top of Zhiguan Mountain. However, the mountain seemed to be covered by an invisible force field at this time. The red lightning that fell like a meteorite gradually became smaller and smaller, and finally dissipated into nothingness in the circulation of the five elements between heaven and earth.

Using Qi to control the sword and using the sword to guide the Qi, Lu Cheng easily survived the first level of thunder tribulation relying solely on his own magical powers.

"The Nine Heavens Mysterious True Destruction Heavenly Thunder Tribulation is divided into nine levels, with power stacked layer by layer, destroying everything... With my merits and cultivation, is it really this bad?"

During the process of going through the tribulation, if a cultivator's mind is focused, he can use his spiritual sense to detect what kind of Taoist law or heavenly punishment he is going through.

Leaving it to future generations is also a kind of accumulation of heritage for the entire sect.

But there are also many cultivators who pursue the Tao with their whole heart and soul, and do not spare any of their minds from it, so that after they have survived the heavenly tribulation, they do not even know what kind of tribulation they have survived. This is the right way to do it, and Lu Cheng uses his mind to measure the will of heaven, which shows that he has terrible confidence in his own cultivation of Taoism:

The three calamities of heaven, earth and man will all take away a portion of the calamity force. Among them, the calamity of man and the calamity of earth are almost external calamities of the late Nascent Soul stage. Of course, apart from resisting them head-on, there are other ways to resolve them. For example, Lu Cheng can hand over the treasure he took from the Dongyang Orthodox Church, or give the Heavenly Demon Boy a seventh-level Yuanshen inheritance, which will have a good chance of making the Heavenly Demon Boy retreat.

Lu Cheng also has the opportunity to transfer the sixth-level corpse demon in the Tianhai Cave to the cultivators of the Tiandi Demon Palace and let them bear the consequences for him.

However, Lu Cheng chose a solution that was more in line with his own personality.

"The human calamity and the earth calamity each took away three points of the calamity power, and the remaining Nine Skies Mysterious True Destruction Heavenly Thunder calamity only has four points of calamity power left, which can't kill me!"

The unruly, sharp and powerful sword energy rushed straight into the sky.

Rumble, rumble.

The sky was filled with thunderclouds, and the rumbling thunder sounded like continuous war drums.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, thicker lightning bolts than before, like angry whips of gods, fell towards Lu City below.

Lu Cheng closed his eyes tightly, his mind focused as he looked down like a god, and at this moment he turned from defense to offense, unsheathing a sword, which was a sword forged from the five elements. His sword energy met the falling thunder in the sky, bursting out with dazzling light.

The first calamity is the meteorite calamity, the second calamity is the sickle star calamity!
All of a sudden, dense and violent thunders fell from all directions. Lu Cheng gave up using the Netherworld Flying Sword, the Sixth-Level Puppet, the Samsara Banner and other external magical weapons.

Because he keenly sensed that when Jiuxiao Xuanzhen was in the fifth calamity of the heavenly thunder calamity, there would be a targeted punishment. At that time, the more magic weapons he used, the more powerful the punishment would be, and the more damage he would suffer. The more treasures he had, the more disadvantage he would suffer.

Under the sickle star calamity, lightning fell intensively. Lu Cheng even consciously let some white lightning whips fall on himself, so as to share the pressure of sword skills and magic power with his physical body. As a result, his limbs and bones were gradually wrapped with lightning. Lightning rushed into his meridians and bone marrow, but in the next moment they were swept away and refined by the surging and mighty blood. The lightning mixed with the powerful blood rushed into the meridians, bone marrow, and the golden bones and jade marrow of the body, which helped Lu Cheng to cleanse his body and soul and temper his body.

Lu Cheng forged the Five Elements Flying Sword with the energy of the Five Elements. The sword light was moving extremely skillfully and accurately. It avoided the edge of the thunder whip while shuttling back and forth, and each time it struck at the origin of the lightning, it cut off the lightning's follow-up force, dissipated the lightning force, and greatly reduced the damage.

This sickle star calamity lasted for two hours and was broken by Lu Cheng standing on the top of Zhiguan Peak with an extremely superb sword technique.

Then, the sickle star calamity dissipated.

The third heavenly tribulation did not arrive for a while.

As time went by, just when Lian Lu Cheng was somewhat confused, a feeling of numbness, pain and itching spread throughout his body.

The third calamity is the calamity of a hundred poisons. Man proposes, God disposes. This calamity actually erupted from the inside out with the power of the second calamity.

Snakes, scorpions, centipedes, spiders, toads and other poisonous creatures, densely packed, were born from Lu Cheng's body. They crawled all over the Taoist's body. The sounds of their shells colliding and their limbs scratching made the hair of those who heard it stand up and their hearts and minds frightened.

But at the same time, the bodies of these poisonous creatures are half illusory. The more the victims are confused by the external calamity, the more poison in their hearts grows, and they become the most terrifying poisons in the world, without comparison.

But even if the victims are as hard as stone and are not moved by them at all, they themselves have considerable killing and poisonous power, and it is not okay to completely regard them as illusions.

"The lightning tribulation turning into poisonous fire is quite interesting."

Lu Cheng could even vaguely feel that the poisonous flame would undergo another transformation, the poison in the heart turning into karma fire. At that time, all the living beings that Lu Cheng had killed during his cultivation would be resurrected and would once again fight with him to the death.

However, Lu Cheng was not interested in defeating his former opponent again, and he did not unleash the full power of the Hundred Poisons.

The next moment, the blazing Samadhi Fire spread out from Lu Cheng's body. Taoism says that the cultivation of the primordial spirit, primordial energy, and primordial essence can produce true fire, which is called: Samadhi Fire!
Under the Samadhi True Fire, hundreds of poisons were burned and refined, and the law was broken by force. The two calamities of the Scythe Star Tribulation and the Hundred Poisons Tribulation were all returned to Lu Cheng's body, nourishing his physical essence, meridians, bones and veins.

Jiuxiao Xuanzhen destroyed the heavenly thunder tribulation and the fourth tribulation, the Liuding fire tribulation.

The sky was filled with fire rain and meteors, which fell in layers at this moment. The power of this attack was far greater than the previous three disasters. It seemed that the first three disasters were one kind of power, the middle three disasters were one kind of power, and the power of the last three disasters would be even more unimaginable.

The six fire disasters covered and struck down the city, becoming more and more frequent. The air was filled with a burning smell, and the rocks at the foot of Lu City were loosened by the high temperature.

If this calamity cannot be resisted, the entire Zhiguan Mountain spiritual land will be transformed into a world of fire.

Just when everyone in the Taoist Palace almost thought that Lu Cheng would be defeated by the might of heaven, he suddenly opened his arms and muttered something.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, more powerful sword energy surged out of Lu Cheng's body, transforming into a huge burning golden sword shadow that pierced straight into the sky.

The sword shadows and the Six Ding Fire Tribulations collided in the sky, erupting with earth-shaking roars.

This was the second time in Lu Cheng's life that he had used up all the Samadhi Fire in his body without leaving any. The Six Ding Fire Tribulation was of higher quality and purity than the Samadhi Fire in Lu Cheng's body, but it was inferior in terms of total amount.

After all, this force of calamity was only one-ninth of the heavenly calamity, and the flames all over the sky contained only a trace of truth. However, the Samadhi True Fire was Lu Cheng's innate magical power, and under the practice of fire overcoming fire, the Six Ding Fire Tribulations that descended from the sky and Lu Cheng gathered to form a huge fireball, like the sun, emitting bright light, illuminating the originally dark night as bright as day.

"Roar!"

Lu Cheng let out a long roar towards the sky, the sound shaking the whole area. Then, the Taoist's body expanded dozens or hundreds of times in an instant. His muscles were like surging mountains, and the monkey hair under his skin grew out and shone brightly, emitting a dazzling light like red gold.

The Great Five Elements True Spirit Transformation Method, the Sun-Swallowing Divine Monkey Transformation.

"Suck!"

The Sun-Swallowing Divine Ape, which Lu Cheng transformed into, opened its mouth and inhaled violently. The huge ball of high-temperature flame between heaven and earth was then sucked into its mouth.

In an instant, even the Sun-Swallowing Ape began to burn fiercely from the inside out.

Fire creates earth, and fire suppresses earth.

Swallowing true fire to enhance one's own magic power is one of the innate magical powers of the Sun-Swallowing Divine Ape. At this moment, Lu Cheng was willing to sacrifice his life, and the magic power in his body grew rapidly and recovered from its original almost exhausted state.

The Sun-Swallowing Divine Ape was also burned into a golden skeleton in the raging fire, but it was still roaring towards the sky with a strong fighting spirit.

At this time, the lightning above the sky was also flowing and changing, gradually forming a huge cloud vortex, facing the giant ape on the mountain.
