Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 434: The Heavenly Tribulation of the Gods, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, and the Inner Demon Purple Thunder (Woo woo woo woo, please subscribe!)
Lu Cheng stood above the Wanlei Palace, with lightning still swirling around him. Fire flashed in his eyes as he stared at the vortex of lightning that was constantly spinning and condensing above the sky.

"It's a bit hasty, but when luck comes, heaven and earth will work together, and everything will be forgotten. The time and the place are all right."

After saying this, the Taoist's figure flew higher and higher.

The ninth level of Nascent Soul leads to the bottleneck of Transformation of Spirit, the last step for a cultivator to achieve immortality:
In the immortal spiritual world, the lifespan of a cultivator who has reached the state of becoming a god is infinite. However, they will still grow old and die in the lower world. This is due to the lack of spiritual energy in the lower world, not a problem with the cultivators themselves.

Therefore, this bottleneck in the middle is really like a natural chasm. Most great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage find it difficult to overcome it by relying on their own mind and magic power, not to mention the subsequent divine transformation tribulation.

Lu Cheng originally planned to be the incarnation of the upper realm, and find a suitable magic weapon to overcome the tribulation and send it to the lower realm, so that he could make full use of the tribulation of incarnation and use the secret method of the upper realm to draw lightning to temper his body and strengthen his foundation of Taoism.

However, he did not expect that in the process of enlightenment in the Wanlei Dao Palace, he would realize his own path, and integrate all his practice with the great way of innate power. They blended together as one, and thus his Taoism improved greatly and he went straight into the primordial spirit.

So Lu Cheng said: "Disperse all existence and non-existence and forget about everything."

It reflects the mentality of monks who should adapt to nature and eliminate all scheming.

When a monk practices Taoism, his life experiences will have an impact on him. Many memories of Lu Cheng's past life formed many obstacles and brought many disasters on his path of practice. However, a saint in his past life said: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

But today it was like a thunderbolt, tearing apart all the fog in his heart.

Regardless of physical cultivation, swordsmanship, talismans, or beast taming, they can all be essentially attributed to the great way of power. This allows the various magical powers in Lu Cheng's body to converge and condense into one, traveling through the meridians, becoming unparalleled in condensation and breaking all obstacles.

In an instant, the law of gravity between heaven and earth seemed to be distorted by some force. The bricks and stones of the Taoist palace below Lu Cheng collapsed silently and turned into countless fragments that floated in the air. The heaven and earth seemed to have lost gravity at this moment, making people feel a fear that they would "fall" into the sky. Even Lu Cheng's own flesh and bones seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force.

"Earth, water, fire, wind, inner demon thunder tribulation! Is this an earth tribulation?"

Different cultivators take different paths and endure different tribulations, but the tribulation that Lu Cheng has to endure at this moment is undoubtedly the most severe one.

"Use force to repel force and break the chaotic hole!"

Taoist Lu Cheng whispered, and the Fifteen Transformations of Xuantian magic power in his body began to circulate. Brilliant starlight burst out from the acupoints all over his body, and a deep and dark vortex of chaos formed outside his body.

As soon as the anti-gravity force of the earth catastrophe came into contact with the chaotic hole, it was swallowed up and eliminated, like a mud cow entering the sea, without any ripples at all.

The chaotic hole rotates, swallowing up everything, even the power of calamity is no exception!

"Take the sky and transform it into a spirit, swallow the heavens and devour the earth."

This martial art, which was only at the Purple Palace Golden Elixir level in the past, was operative in Lu Cheng's hands today. It was as if a dark and chaotic sun appeared between heaven and earth and collapsed, and all the winds and clouds from all directions gathered around it.

After Lu Cheng's magic power was activated, all the objects flying in the Taoist palace below fell back to the ground. Because Lu Cheng responded very quickly, most of them did not fly high and were not damaged.

This confrontation lasted for about two hours. When Lu Cheng opened his eyes again, countless black water droplets had condensed around the sky.

Moreover, each drop was as heavy as a mountain and extremely dense. As soon as it appeared, it pressed and distorted the surrounding void, as if even space could not bear its weight.

The divine water disaster, the heavy water Yuan Gang is like a net and an array.

At the same time, the vast ocean water from all directions seemed to be guided by Lu Cheng's spell and practice just now, and at this moment it gathered into giant tsunamis that were thousands of feet high, harder than gold and iron, and extremely heavy, surging from all directions.

'Because I am going through the tribulation in the sea, the spiritual energy of water is strong, and the tribulation force is therefore heavier.'

As Lu Cheng was thinking this, he put his fingers together like a sword, gathered an extremely sharp edge at his fingertips, and suddenly stabbed out.

"laugh--"

A sword light as thin as a hair pierced through the void and accurately hit the core node of the heavy water Yuan Gang formation.

This is like a very sophisticated machine that is in operation and a flash of sword light is squeezed into it, causing problems to arise in the operation of the machine.

At this time, Lu Cheng offered up a piece of sky-blue cloth. When the cloth was unfolded, it was 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.

The sixth-level magic treasure, the Heavenly Demon Armor.

Lu Cheng rolled the magic treasure around himself and instantly transformed it into a set of dark and ferocious magic armor. He then activated the Fifteen Transformations of Xuantian and performed the North Sea Kunpeng Dance. His movements were as swift as the wind and his attacks were as heavy as thunder.

Lu Cheng's body did not stop. At this moment, he shuttled back and forth like a Kun or a Peng, his fists and palms overlapping, and all kinds of heavy physical techniques were blasted out.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
One after another, the pitch-black heavy water balls were penetrated, shattered, and exploded by the force of the fist, turning into black rain falling from the sky.

The Wanlei Dao Palace below set up a defensive formation, but the white light was crumbling under the black rain and was almost breaking through the formation.

Upon seeing this, Lu Cheng led the calamity clouds further away, allowing more of the black rain to fall into the boundless ocean.

"Master, these are innate true waters, which have caused great damage to my spirituality. After I survive this catastrophe, I am afraid I will no longer be able to help you survive this catastrophe."

As the Heavy Water Yuan Gang Formation was broken, a chubby boy in black appeared in Lu Cheng's mind. He bowed and saluted with a humble attitude.

However, Lu Cheng didn't care what the Demon Boy said. A flash of fire appeared in his eyes, and he used the secret technique of Fire Pupils and Golden Eyes to instantly see the Demon Boy's condition.

"Stop making so much noise. Today, you can either help me break through two calamities and make further progress, or you will be annihilated here."

After saying that, Lu Cheng waved his sleeves and pushed them forward. Two sky-blue silk threads flew out from his sleeves, floating in the sky like two giant blue pythons.

Under Lu Cheng's control, they continued to expand left and right, and finally, like green mountains, they blocked the thousand-foot tsunami that was gathering from all directions. At this time, one calamity had not yet passed when another one arose, and the divine fire calamity was burning the world with the scorching sun!

Above the sky, a blazing white sun suddenly descended, its size as big as the sky, its light as bright as a prison!
That was not an ordinary scorching sun, but a huge calamity force condensed purely from the fire of destruction.

Its light is ten thousand times more violent than the sun's. Every ray of light pierces through the clouds like a sharp blade, burning the earth, as if to burn the entire world into nothingness!

The blazing sun descended from the sky, seemingly slowly, but in fact faster than the flow of light. In just one breath, it crossed a distance of thousands of feet, crushing down with the force of burning the sky and boiling the sea.

Closer—

The sky is burning!
The originally azure sky was swallowed by the endless sea of ​​fire. The clouds turned into rolling red flames, like a burning sea of ​​oil, blazing and sweeping across the world!
"Waters of the four seas, listen to my command! Rise."

Lu Cheng shook and waved his sleeves, and the tsunami of the sea of ​​ten thousand thunders that was gathered by the water catastrophe of the transformation into a god suddenly surged up, and the endless sea water rushed up into the sky, turning into countless water dragons and roaring towards the sky fire.

"Boom!"

The junction of sea water and fire is a feast of destruction!
The dark blue tide collided with the blazing sun, exploding into billions of dazzling auroras. Lava gushed out, and the steaming turbid waves were ignited before they rose into the air, turning into a death curtain of blue smoke and white mist.

Aquatic creatures wailed, and fish and shrimps were reduced to ashes before they could even struggle; reefs collapsed, and islands collapsed into lava lakes in the high temperature.

This is not the blazing sun falling into the sea - it is the entire world, like a moth to a flame, falling towards the world-destroying sun!

The seawater is evaporating! The flames are raging! The explosions are roaring!
There is no longer any boundary between heaven and earth.

There is only destruction, only burning, and only the beauty that is beyond the imagination of mortals - the beauty of the burning world!
The moment water and fire collided, an extremely brilliant light burst out, as if thousands of stars exploded at the same time, illuminating the entire sea as bright as day.

At the same time, thousands of miles away.

The edge of the Wanlei Sea.

"What's going on? The vitality of heaven and earth is fluctuating so violently. Could it be that some immortal palace has opened, or a rare treasure has appeared in the world!?"

Two beams of light approached cautiously.

Judging from their cultivation level, they all have magical powers of the Golden Core level. Of course, if they were weaker, they would not be able to find opportunities near the Wanlei Sea.

"Wait a minute, you two!"

At this moment, a sword light suddenly came from a distance, revealing a young man in Taoist robes with an honest look.

"My two young friends, my master is going through a heavenly tribulation ahead. Please give me some convenience and let me go somewhere else for the time being."

The young man in Taoist robe was of course Shi Sheng. The seemingly long words actually only took a moment under the transmission of spiritual consciousness.

"Yuan Ying Zhen Jun!?"

The two Jindan Zhenren, a man and a woman, looked at each other, then immediately bowed and retreated.

If you linger around when others are undergoing a tribulation, you can be considered to have ill intentions. If you meet a cultivator with a more violent temper, he probably won't be as easy to talk to as he is now.

It was not just Shi Sheng. Although Lu Cheng's experience of the transformation tribulation was abrupt, many cultivators in the Wanlei Dao Palace reacted quickly:
Miao Chuyun, Shi Sheng, Yun Huang'er, the Xiao sisters, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er mother and daughter, as well as Huang Longzi and Madam Baoxiang.

All the cultivators in the Taoist Palace scattered to protect Lu Cheng.

The four essentials for spiritual practice are Dharma, land, companions and wealth. Most cultivators tend to be vulnerable and weak for a period of time during and after the heavenly tribulation. Without good disciples or fellow Taoists to protect them during this time, it would be extremely dangerous.

Wanlei Dao Palace has many high-ranking cultivators and a profound cultural heritage.

Even though most cultivators were attracted by the violent fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here, most of them retreated after being warned. Of course, there were also evil cultivators who took advantage of this opportunity to destroy people's cultivation and prevent them from achieving enlightenment.

At this moment, the Xiao sisters, Xue Yuzhen and Yun Linger were confronting a group of demon cultivators.

"I've long heard that the Baoguang Chamber of Commerce is extremely wealthy. I'm afraid that half of the wealth in the world has been swallowed up by Master Lu, but it's hard for us poor Taoists who live next to him." The speaker was a skinny old man in a purple-gold robe, with seven skull beads hanging around his waist, which rustled in the sea breeze.

Next to him stood a dwarf-looking monk, only about three feet tall, with a green face, fangs, and a pair of green eyes that kept rolling around.

Xiao Yuhong's fingertips trembled slightly, and the magic gold tower in her sleeve was ready to go. She caught a glimpse of her sister Xiao Yuxue quietly making hand gestures, while Xue Yuzhen and Yun Ling'er, mother and daughter, formed a battle formation in their respective positions.

Although the four women were all in the early Nascent Soul stage, they still faced two late Nascent Soul stage giants of the demon path and their demon descendants as if they were facing a formidable enemy and struggled to hold on.

"This fellow Taoist is joking." Xiao Yuhong forced herself to remain calm, brushing the hair on her temples with her bare hands: "My master has always valued righteousness over profit and made many good friends. Who in this world doesn't know this? But you two have trespassed into the place where the tribulation is passed today..."

"Madam Xiao, there is no need to delay any longer!" The dwarf suddenly interrupted with a sharp voice, his voice was as harsh as an iron spoon scraping a pot:
“Hand over six seventh-level spiritual objects and tens of millions of spiritual stones, and we brothers will turn around and leave. You will never see us again in this life. Otherwise, if fellow Daoist Blood Skull and I break in at the same time, who knows what the result will be!”

'True Lord Blood Skull and Master Yin Xie, these two are both famous demon cultivators in this world. I don't know why they gathered here recently, and it just so happened that my husband was going through the heavenly tribulation of becoming a god.

If I give them spiritual objects, these two demons will retreat as promised, which is fine. But I am afraid that these two demons will be greedy and will inevitably fight each other in the end, which will also affect my husband's mind.'

Although Xiao Yuhong had a decisive personality, she was a little worried at the moment. She just wanted to find a way to ensure that her husband would not be distracted to the greatest extent.

However, at this moment, a clear sword sound suddenly came from the sky.

The sword light was just a line at first, but in a flash it turned into a blue rainbow hundreds of feet long.

Upon seeing this, Master Yinxie let out a strange cry and took out nine black ropes from his sleeves that were as sharp as poisonous snakes. However, the moment they touched the green sword light, they broke into pieces and were destroyed in an instant.

Qinghong's momentum continued to increase. It penetrated into his forehead and came out from his crotch. His body exploded, bringing up a smelly rain of blood.

It was also Master Yinxie's bad luck. His nine Xuanyin Filthy Demon Corpse Binding Ropes were forged from the foul air that had been accumulated in the depths of the earth's veins for thousands of years.

At first, it was just a ball of foul air, smelling rotten and pungent. It took nine transformations and nine refinements with his unique secret method before this ball of foul air could be condensed into nine deep black lines. When the work was done, the black rope was as thin as a gossamer and disappeared into the void. Even a sharp eye could hardly see its trace.

Afterwards, the poisonous snake spirit was added to it. Once it entangled the body of a cultivator, the evil would immediately invade the meridians and the poison would corrode the veins. Even if it was a cultivator of the orthodox Xuan Sect, if it was infected, at the least, the foundation of Taoism would be destroyed and the three flowers would wither, or at the worst, the purple palace would collapse and the golden elixir would disintegrate. It was truly insidious and extremely powerful.

This Xuanyin Filthy Demon Corpse Binding Rope was originally an excellent means of using the filthy magic flying sword, but today it happened to encounter Lu Cheng's Hundred Poisons Heavenly Filthy Divine Light Sword Technique.

Although Lu Cheng's two defensive sword lights seem pure and upright, they are actually two sword scriptures that Lu Cheng used to transform demons into Taoism. They use demons to devour demons, and are more ferocious and restrained.

"This is..." On the other side, the pupils of True Lord Blood Skull suddenly shrank, and the three skull bells on his waist suddenly exploded and turned into white mist and smoke to cover his body. He used his escape technique to retreat violently, but saw that the green rainbow drew a mysterious arc in the air and turned back to chase him!
At the same time, a dragon roar suddenly sounded between the sea and the sky.

A purple-black stone sword wrapped in purple lightning fell from the clouds. The ancient sword body and the handle ring were carved with a beast head with wide-open eyes.

The moment the tip of the sword touched the ground, the sea surface within a radius of ten miles suddenly sank several feet. The exploding circular air wave blew away dozens of demon cubs brought by True Lord Blood Skull and Master Yinxie.

"puff--"

The Blood Skull Master's Nascent Soul froze instantly, and he looked down at his chest. There suddenly appeared a blood hole as big as a bowl, with purple lightning flowing around the edge, eroding his Nascent Soul at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What was even more terrifying was that his Nascent Soul, which he had cultivated for thousands of years, was severely damaged by this sword, and he couldn't even escape!

"This is this"

True Lord Blood Skull reached out to grab the flying sword, but was electrocuted by the Black Evil Demon halfway, and his Nascent Soul was shattered and he died.

Seeing the death of True Lord Blood Skull, Master Yinxie retreated immediately, and the remaining demon cultivators were completely frightened. They saw clearly that the two sword lights just now were clearly coming from a very far distance. The sword lights turned into rainbows, and they were thousands of miles away but still had such power, and their killing power was unparalleled!
What's even more terrifying is that the sharp sword intent contained in the sword light makes it difficult for these usually ferocious demon cultivators to even think of resisting.

More than a dozen Jindan demon cultivators immediately scattered like birds and beasts. Some turned into blood rainbows and escaped, some rode the dark wind to escape, and some directly used the blood escape technique, not hesitating to waste their essence to get away from here quickly.

“Ahem… Great Jiefa True Lord Lu Cheng… Ahem… Crazy man, you would rather die than give up your wealth. You dare to be distracted by such a great calamity. I want to see how you survive this calamity of transformation into a god!”

Hundreds of miles away, Master Yin Xie's Nascent Soul was spitting blood while flying away. He was an expert in poison cultivation and had a high resistance, so at the last moment when the Heavenly Filthy Divine Light sealed the acupoints of his body, he managed to escape with his Nascent Soul, but this time his vitality was also seriously damaged.

Those disciples who were killed were not a big deal, but the cultivator's physical body was cut off. Although he himself did not think that he could still be promoted to the God Transformation Realm, his magic power was greatly damaged and his Taoism declined. In the future, just being hunted down by his enemies would be enough for this Master Yinxie to endure.

At the same time, Wanlei Dao Palace.

As Lu Cheng controlled the two swords to return, he saw that the calamity clouds that were originally a mixture of water and fire suddenly churned violently and gradually turned into a chaotic color.

A heart-pounding pressure descended from the sky, as if the entire world was rejecting the person who was undergoing the tribulation.

"Wind Tribulation!"

"And it's the Unfixed Sky Wind! It's the highest wind disaster that the human world can endure."

Before Lu Cheng finished his whisper, a gray hurricane had descended from the calamity clouds. The wind seemed slow, but it was actually incredibly fast, distorting the space wherever it passed.

What's even more terrifying is the strange magic power contained in the wind, which assimilates all the sea water and clouds passing by, turning them into more uncertain winds!

"Retreat! Everyone, retreat a thousand miles immediately!"

The experienced Taoist Huang Longzi saw how serious the situation was and shouted loudly. Several talismans flew out from his sleeves, which rolled up Madam Baoxiang, Yun Huang'er and others who were near him, and they fled hundreds of miles away in an instant.

Almost at the moment they left, the unpredictable wind swept across the place where they had just stood, annihilating everything within a hundred feet into nothingness!
"Well done!"

With a long whistle, the Taoist Lu Cheng did not dodge or evade, but instead flew up into the sky against the unpredictable wind!

He clasped his hands together, and the Fifteen Transformations of Xuantian magic power in his body began to circulate, forming a vortex of chaos around him.

"Swallow the sky and break the uncertainty, disperse!"

The moment the Chaos Hole collided with the Skywind, the entire sea area fell silent. Then, a circular shock wave spread out from the center of the collision, evaporating the seawater wherever it passed, tearing the clouds apart, and even causing fine cracks in the air!
In this terrifying scene, Lu Cheng stood in the cave. His mouth and nose were bleeding, his body was cracked, but he still resisted the erosion of the Wuding Tianfeng.

Every time the vortex of chaos rotated, it absorbed a bit of the power of the heavenly wind, and his aura also rose accordingly.

Draw the calamity into the body and temper the foundation of Taoism!
Chapter 58 of "Tao Te Ching": Misfortune is the foundation of blessing; blessing is the root of misfortune. It means that blessing and misfortune are mutually causal and transform into each other.

Although monks have to go through the trials of heaven and earth when practicing Taoism, if they can get through it, it will be of great benefit to their future path.

The method of practicing the skill is the superior method recorded in the "Xuanmen Danding Lianxing Secret Book", the highest authentic teaching of Taiqing Sect. However, it is extremely dangerous to practice, so before Lu Cheng, he wanted his external incarnation to find a treasure for overcoming the tribulation in the upper realm and then overcome the tribulation.

The next moment, in an instant, the scene in front of Lu Cheng suddenly changed, and he returned to the depths of his memory in a trance:
That was the world he once lived in, an era of tall buildings, flashing neon lights, flourishing technology and developing humanity.

"Big stupid pig, you're back?" A gentle female voice sounded in my ears.

Lu Cheng turned his head and saw a beautiful woman standing there with a smile on her face. It was his ex-girlfriend Lin Yuqing.

Next to her was a heroic short-haired woman, who was Lin Yuqing's best friend and lover, Ye Hongling.

The three of them smiled at each other, as if all the barriers had disappeared, leaving only pure happiness and peace.

The neon-lit city night scene flowed outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Lu Cheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a high-rise apartment, holding a cup of steaming coffee in his hand.

His figure in a suit and tie, and two busy figures in the open kitchen behind him were reflected on the glass.

"Lawyer, stop daydreaming and come and have dinner." Lin Yuqing's voice came from behind, gentle and playful.

Lu Cheng turned around and saw Lin Yuqing bringing the last dish to the table.

She was wearing simple home clothes, her long hair was casually tied into a ponytail, a few strands of hair hung beside her cheeks, shining softly under the warm light. Ye Hongling was fiddling with tableware on the side, her short hair was neat and her movements were capable.

"We won that big case today. Shouldn't our lawyer Lu express his opinion?" Ye Hongling raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a mischievous smile in her eyes.

This was the life Lu Cheng had always dreamed of, a family with his two beloved ones, a successful career and a happy life.

At the dining table, the three of them raised their glasses to celebrate, and the red wine in the goblets swayed with an alluring color.

"Here's to our future." Lu Cheng said, with satisfaction in his voice.

"To the future." Two female voices responded at the same time.

"I just didn't expect that I would become a lawyer. I always thought that with my personality, I would become a police officer or something."

"What's wrong with being a lawyer? You earn more and don't have to go to the dangerous front line."

“…You’re right.”

The days passed by peacefully and happily like flowing water.

Lu Cheng became a partner of a well-known local law firm, Lin Yuqing's paintings became famous in the art circle, and Ye Hongling ran a successful fitness studio.

They travel together, cook together, and snuggle up on the sofa to watch movies on weekends. There is warmth in the ordinary life.

However, under this perfect appearance, Lu Cheng occasionally felt a little uncomfortable.

It was an ordinary weekend morning. When Lu Cheng woke up, he found Lin Yuqing leaning against the bed reading a book. The sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains onto her face, outlining a soft outline.

She looked exactly the same as when they first met ten years ago, and time seemed to have left no trace on her.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuqing noticed his gaze, turned around and smiled.

"Nothing." Lu Cheng shook his head.

"It just feels like you haven't aged at all."

Lin Yuqing chuckled: "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't we only in our early thirties?"

Lu Cheng nodded, but he felt a little confused. He did remember that he was already in his forties, but the person in the mirror looked really young.

The thought flashed through my mind and was quickly diluted by the daily trivialities.

Another anomaly appeared in Lu Cheng's work: as a lawyer, he had handled countless cases, but he could not recall the details of any specific case.

Whenever I try to recall, there are only vague concepts and a sense of accomplishment in my mind, as if it were a carefully designed program that only provides necessary feedback.

"Lawyer Lu, what is your strategy for tomorrow's business dispute case?" asked the assistant.

Lu Cheng opened his mouth to speak, but found that his mind suddenly went blank. "I'll take care of it." He finally said, his voice was stiffer than he expected.

The assistant didn't seem to notice anything unusual, nodded and left the office. Lu Cheng stood in front of the window, looking at the pedestrians and vehicles downstairs like ants, and a sense of unreality arose.

At night, Lu Cheng came home after working overtime and found Lin Yuqing and Ye Hongling watching TV in the living room. The screen was showing international news, and the picture showed a sea with lightning and thunder.

"Scientists are still unable to explain the abnormal climate phenomena in this sea area." The host's voice came from the TV.

Lu Cheng froze in place. The scene before him was like a key that suddenly opened a gate deep in his memory.

Fragmented images flashed in my mind: the Taoist transformation and ascension technique, the teacher's earnest teachings, the purple and green swords, and the Xiao sisters.
"Husband? Are you okay?" Lin Yuqing's concerned voice brought him back to reality.

Lu Cheng shook his head and forced a smile: "It's okay, just a little tired."

He walked to the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face in front of the mirror. When he looked up, the reflection in the mirror suddenly became unfamiliar - it was the image of a monk wearing a Taoist robe and with long hair tied up.

"This is." Lu Cheng took a step back, the illusion in front of him disappeared, and the mirror returned to the appearance of a modern elite in a suit and tie.

In the following days, Lu Cheng began to consciously observe the details of this world. He found that Lin Yuqing and Ye Hongling would never get sick, the weather would always cooperate with their plans just right, and even his occasional mistakes would miraculously turn into good things.

Once, he deliberately left an important document at home, and when he rushed to the client's company, he found that the meeting was canceled at the last minute. When he got home, Lin Yuqing had just cooked his favorite dish, as if to comfort him for his "mistake".

This world is too perfect, so perfect that it seems unreal.

"If this is a dream." Lu Cheng stood on the balcony of his apartment, looking at the starry sky and thinking: "Why would I want to wake up?"

Here he has everything he desires: love, career, and a stable life. There is no intrigue and deception in the world of immortal cultivation, no threat of heavenly tribulation, and no long and lonely practice.

But another voice sounded in his heart: Because none of this is true.

One night, Lu Cheng returned home from work and found that Lin Yuqing and Ye Hongling were not there. There was a note on the dining table: "We are going to buy ingredients for dinner and will be back soon."

Lu Cheng walked to the bookshelf and pulled out a photo album. It recorded every detail of their lives over the years: travels, holidays, daily laughter. Every photo was filled with happiness, but Lu Cheng felt a deep sense of alienation.

He turned to the last page and found a strange photo tucked inside - the picture showed an ancient palace, he was standing in front of the palace, and behind him were the Xiao sisters, Xue Yuzhen and others.

The edges of the photo have begun to turn yellow, as if they have gone through a long time.

"Although the dream is beautiful, you still have to wake up eventually."

"Have you found something interesting?" At this moment, Lin Yuqing's voice suddenly came from behind.

Lu Cheng turned around and saw her standing at the door, holding a shopping bag in her hand, with a familiar gentle smile on her face. But at this moment, this beautiful smile gradually became unfamiliar in Lu Cheng's eyes.

"Sorry, I'm going to lose you again." Lu Cheng said in a low voice.

Lin Yuqing's expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am your wife, and we agreed to be together for the rest of our lives."

Lu Cheng shook his head: "No, you are not Lin Yuqing, and all this is not true. The reason why the Heart Demon Tribulation is difficult to overcome and is the most feared by all cultivators in the world is because it is hidden among all the tribulations and has no rules. But when I use my physical body to refine the Uncertain Wind Tribulation, it is the best opportunity for the Heart Demon to erupt, and it just happens to refine me under the Wind Tribulation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room began to twist, the walls flowed like liquid, the furniture melted and reassembled. Lin Yuqing's image also began to change, sometimes turning into a charming witch, sometimes into a hideous demon.

"Husband... why did you destroy all this?" Her voice turned into multiple echoes, sometimes like Lin Yuqing, sometimes like Ye Hongling.

"Everything you want is here! Stay, stay with us, and be happy forever..."

Lu Cheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, his eyes were clear. Just like a person who has been suffering from insomnia for a long time, sleeping for three days and three nights, when he wakes up again, the world becomes vivid and vivid.

"Stop making trouble, you bitch. When I ascend to heaven and become an immortal, I will definitely tear apart time and space, go back and capture both you and Hong Ling, and make them my slaves. Now, just wait for me quietly."

With these words, the whole world shattered like glass. The illusion faded, and Lu Cheng found himself standing above the Ten Thousand Thunder Sea again. The aftermath of the Unfixed Sky Wind was still raging, and his body had been torn into pieces.

However, in Lu Cheng's lower, middle and upper dantian, there were three incomparably blazing red-gold flames rushing left and right, burning all the invading and approaching heavenly wind calamity forces. The Samadhi True Fire could break the wood and wind calamity. This was also the escape route Lu Cheng prepared for himself.

But even so, Lu Cheng had already lost several lives under the Unstable Wind Disaster.

"You shouldn't have let me stay in the inner demon tribulation for so long. Do you think I can do nothing without the sword in my hand?"

Above the sea of ​​ten thousand thunders, the calamity clouds were as black as ink, and the purple-black thunder of the Chaos Capital God was like a pillar of heaven collapsing, tearing through the void and going straight down.

This thunder tribulation is Jiuxiao Xuanzhen's destructive thunder tribulation, which is divided into nine tribulations, each one more severe than the last. When it comes to the ninth tribulation, its power far exceeds the sum of the previous eight thunder tribulations, enough to annihilate the body and soul of an ordinary Yuanshen cultivator and destroy thousands of years of practice.

Lu Cheng stood in the center of the sea of ​​thunder, the sword intent in his eyes surged, and the inner and outer sword intent of the Tongxuan sword completely merged at this moment.

Outer Sword——The deduction of the demon algorithm can cut through all the methods!

The five elements sword energy in his palm suddenly turned into a three-inch blade, and billions of sword lights burst out from the tip of the sword. Each sword light moved like a star, following the trajectory deduced by the Heavenly Demon Algorithm, disassembling and separating the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

Wherever the sword light passed, the thunder and lightning tribulation was analyzed into the most fundamental yin and yang energies. The violent tribulation force was like ice and snow meeting fire, melting away inch by inch.

Inner Sword - absorb the power of calamity and turn it into Tao!

At the same time, the sword intent in Lu Cheng's body was like a whale sucking water, swallowing up all the scattered essence of the thunder. Every ray of lightning that entered his body triggered the transformation of his flesh, blood and bones, and his soul became more solid.

His aura continued to rise, and at this moment, an invisible sword light flew over, and the Five Elements Flying Sword that flew back in time also transformed. Thunder patterns appeared on the sword body, resonating with his soul.

Man and sword become one to break the heavenly calamity!
"break!"

With a clear shout, Lu Cheng's body completely merged with the Five Elements Flying Sword, transforming into a sword light that pierced the sky and the earth, and slashed upwards!

This sword can both cut off the calamity and ask for the way - wherever the sword light goes, the nine-sky thunder calamity is split into two, and a vacuum sword mark a thousand miles long is cut in the sky, the calamity clouds collapse, and the thunder is annihilated!

The sword's residual force had not yet dissipated, and it penetrated the sky, completely crushing the clouds of disaster. The thunder on the sea of ​​​​thunder seemed to be summoned, and gathered together, condensing into clouds at the foot of Lu Cheng, supporting his soul body.

The afterglow of Tongxuan's sword echoed between heaven and earth for a long time. Lu Cheng slowly descended and stood in the air. The sword energy around him was like a dragon, and his soul body was crystal clear.

This sword, which cut through the thunder calamity, has already achieved the realization of the primordial spirit!
