Chapter 315 Breakthrough! Breakthrough!! Old Friend (4000!)
"quiet!"

A loud shout fell from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming force, as large as a mountain and as vast as the sea, pressed down.

The clamor instantly subsided into silence.

A figure dressed in a Taoist robe stands on the city wall, looking down.

"Fellow Daoists, the battle is not over yet. Demons continue to charge and fight at the foot of Guya Mountain."

"Wuliang Palace intends to launch another attack and invade the demon land."

Boom~
Many cultivators were shocked, staring at the Taoist on the city wall.

The demons have been driven away, the breach has been plugged, and all that remains is to clean up the fleeing demons.

Despite such a glorious record, Wuliang Palace was still not satisfied and wanted to invade the Demon Realm.

What follows will be an even more brutal campaign, as the enemy intends to use them as cannon fodder.

The cultivators all looked grim, and the atmosphere in the air grew increasingly oppressive.

The Taoist priest surveyed the group of cultivators with an indifferent expression and slowly spoke:
"Do not worry, my Wuliang Palace will fight this battle. It will not be difficult to defeat the demons and break into the demon land."

"However, I may need to trouble you fellow Daoists to clean up the defeated demon race afterwards."

Zhang Yuanzhu mingled in the crowd, one hand resting on a long ruler, his eyes filled with thought.

This is clearly Wuliang Palace's intention to kill more demons and weaken their power.

However, entering the Demon Realm is not impossible.

Some special terrains, which are not found in the surrounding area, may also be found in the demon land.

At this moment, many cultivators nodded slightly.

Since Wuliang Palace has taken the initiative to launch the conquest and is willing to fight,

Then, they can naturally wait.

Monks stood on the street, some recuperating, others talking.

Zhang Yuanzhu remained silent, his double pupils deep and unfathomable, as he looked over the city wall at the demon race outside the city.

One after another, ferocious and monstrous beasts climbed down from the cliff face and fought fiercely.

The city walls stood tall and unchanging, only now stained with blood.

The young man frowned slightly, understanding dawning on him.

Unlike when he climbed Mount Guya, the demon race's magic power did not disappear. This should be the reason why the demon race had spare strength to attack, and also the reason why Wuliang Palace needed to build the Nine Gates.

Thoughts swirled in my mind as time ticked by.

A cup of tea!

One stick of incense!
One hour!!!
The ancient city trembled slightly, and beams of light appeared, sacred and dazzling.

The soft murmurs echoed throughout the heavens and the earth, reverberating across the vast mountains and rivers.

"Boundless Heaven, Boundless Earth, Boundless Light, My Way is Boundless!"

An indescribable brilliance burst forth, transforming into a vast expanse that crashed down from the city walls.

The demon race was annihilated, and the mountain rocks turned into crystal.

In an instant, divine radiance engulfed and covered everything.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Crunch!

The city gates opened, and disciples of the Boundless Palace rushed out of the city, their bodies transforming into rainbow lights as they charged towards the foot of Guya Mountain.

A dense array of iridescent lights stretched as far as the eye could see.

With a thought, Zhang Yuanzhu unleashed strands of lightning from his body.

With a single step, he transformed into lightning, bursting out of the ancient city and heading towards the demon land.

He wasn't moving fast, following behind the disciples of Wuliang Palace, watching them slaughter the defeated demon race.

The young man's eyes were indifferent, and he did not intervene.

Two whole days passed before he finally landed and gazed at the demon land.

Yellow sand swirled and stretched to the horizon, while the blood-red sunset was enormous, like an immortal beast suppressing the sky, crimson and bewitching.

One by one, the remains of demons and human corpses lay sprawled on the ground, leaving behind pools of blood.

"The spiritual energy is somewhat depleted!"

Zhang Yuanzhu sensed his surroundings and spoke softly.

However, even if spiritual energy is scarce, it will not have a significant impact on him. His [Characteristic] Mountain Moving and Ridge Control ability allows him to draw sufficient spiritual energy from the earth.

He strode forward, heading towards the desert, ignoring the fighting around him.

He withdrew the lightning, concealed his aura, and continued forward, seeking a suitable place for tempering.

Now that we're here, we don't need to think too much about the five internal organs that need to be tempered next—the heart!
The heart belongs to the element of fire and needs to be tempered by fire and thunder. Such a terrain should be found in the desert.

Zhang Yuanzhu bypassed the battlefield and ran through the desert, the bloodshed and shouts of battle gradually fading into the distance.

He carefully surveyed the terrain, leaving no area unexplored.

Seven days later.

Zhang Yuanzhu stopped in front of a sand dune, his double pupils half-closed, looking down at his feet.

"This is it."

The young man whispered, extending his palm, and strands of purple lightning burst forth from his fingertips.

Boom!

First came a deafening roar of thunder, then bolts of lightning streaked across the sky and descended upon the desert.

In an instant, the area spanning several miles, including the hills, was enveloped in lightning, and then crumbled inch by inch.

A huge crater was revealed, with blood-red lava flowing slowly at the bottom.

"The terrain is good, it should be fine."

The words had not yet fallen.

squeak~
The chirping of insects echoed from the lava.

Then, a cold light tore through the sky, carrying a piercing sonic boom, and hurtled towards the heavens.

In the blink of an eye, they were in front of the young man.

A rolling wave of air, carrying a fishy stench, rushed towards us.

Zhang Yuanzhu's expression was indifferent, and thirty-six purple halos appeared, hovering above and below, making him appear like a god descending to earth.

bang bang bang~
The six purple rings exploded instantly, but the cold light was powerless to move forward, revealing its true form.

Its crimson scorpion tail, with its sharp needle-like appendage, frantically rammed into the purple halo, yet it could not break through.

Zhang Yuanzhu remained expressionless, extending his palm with his five fingers spread out.

One halo after another rose and fell rapidly.

stab~
The entire scorpion tail was instantly crushed, and fragments of its carapace mixed with an unknown liquid spilled down.

A sharp scream came from the lava.

Before the enemy could react, the purple halo had already transformed into spears of lightning, hovering beside him.

The young man watched as the scorpions crawled out of the lava, some strong and some weak. The strong ones were at least at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, while the weak ones were only at the Qi Condensation stage.

He smiled and exhaled slowly.
"Ants!"

The raised palm suddenly pressed down.

In an instant, thirty-six lightning spears shot out.

boom! Boom! !
Large swathes of lava exploded, turning red scorpions into charred remains, with lightning and splashing magma creating a dazzling spectacle.

In an instant, 99% of the demonic beasts were wiped out.

Zhang Yuanzhu landed on the ground, stepping on the remaining lava and shell fragments, and slowly moved forward.

tower!
He stopped in front of a scorpion the size of a house.

The red scorpion's limbs were all broken off, and fluid flowed down the wounds onto the ground. Its carapace on its back was charred black, making it look extremely wretched.

But it was the only monster to survive.

"Good defense; the carapace on its back is good enough to be used as material for forging spiritual weapons."

Zhang Yuanzhu flicked his fingertip, and a bolt of lightning flashed, entangling the red scorpion.

Stab it!

Flesh and blood turned to ash.

The red shell fell to the ground.

After flicking his sleeves and retracting his shell, he carefully observed his surroundings.

The ground was pitted and the lava was almost dried up, but the terrain here was not damaged.

Without further hesitation, he walked across the land, observing every inch of soil, and conceiving a lightning-attracting array in his mind.

Approximately two hours.

The young man stood in the center of the pit, array plates flew out from his arms, and array flags emerged from his storage bag, sticking into the ground.

A large formation is being set up at an extremely fast pace.

Sunset and moonrise.

Thick, dark clouds appeared, obscuring the moonlight.

Crackling and popping! Crimson lightning streaked through the dark clouds like streaks of red snakes.

Zhang Yuanzhu sat cross-legged on the ground, sensing the abundant spiritual energy in his dantian.

This physical training is not only a tempering of the heart, but also an enhancement of magical power.

He took the meteorite core from his robes, placed it on his abdomen, looked up, and whispered:
"let's start!"

Boom!

A bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket struck down from the sky, like a sharp sword cutting into the young man's head, and exploded with a deafening roar.

A wisp of crimson lightning wandered around his body, surging towards his heart.

At the same time, dazzling lightning flashed in his abdomen, his dantian trembled, and layers of purple light flowed through his dantian like liquid.

boom!
Boom! !
Boom! ! !
One bolt of lightning after another struck down.

Both their physical bodies and magical power surged rapidly under the lightning.

……

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Yuanzhu sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed, looking inward at his body.

His heart pounded in his chest, and wisps of crimson lightning flowed and intertwined, radiating power.

Each jump is like the beating of a war drum, making the blood in your body surge.

"The heart has been tempered and trained successfully."

Zhang Yuanzhu whispered, but this was not yet the greatest gain from this cultivation.

Deep within the soul, atop the Seven Treasures Tree, red, blue, and purple divine light intertwine to form a mirror, inscribing various aspects of one's own information.

Realm: Foundation Establishment Level 2 (99.99%)

With the help of the meteorite core and the thunder of heaven and earth, his cultivation has reached the end of the second level of Foundation Establishment and he is about to break through.

Call ~
He exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Zhang Yuanzhu calmed his turbulent emotions.

He first stood up to check the surrounding protective formations, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he sit down again.

The young man rested his arms flat on his knees.

Breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe in
With each breath, a vast amount of spiritual energy surged forth.

In an instant, the spiritual platform within the dantian trembled.

Five illusory figures—Black Tortoise, Red Dragon, Azure Phoenix, Qilin, and White Tiger—appeared, standing in five directions, roaring towards the sky.

Boom boom boom~
The two spiritual platforms trembled violently, and a vast amount of magical power surged towards them.

The third spiritual platform was faintly visible in the purple light.

As time passed and his magical power increased, the third spiritual platform became more and more real.

An hour!
Two hours!!
Three hours!!!

Within his dantian, a brilliant purple light shone, and the third spiritual platform trembled slightly, leaping into the realm of reality.

Boom~
A thunderclap resounded in his mind, and Zhang Yuanzhu was stunned for a moment.

Magical power and spiritual awareness surged wildly here, and even the physical body began to undergo a complete transformation.

"Foundation Building Level Three!"

Zhang Yuanzhu raised his arm, propped up his cheek, and carefully experienced his own transformation, his mind and spirit relaxed.

Through constant battles, life-or-death struggles, and seclusion, the path of cultivation has taken another step forward.

In this way, one-third of the Foundation Establishment stage has been completed.

Time passed, and half a day later, the transformation of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit officially came to an end.

The six-story pagoda in my mind transformed into a seven-story glazed pagoda as my spiritual awareness grew.

Its body was translucent and radiant, with a solemn and majestic appearance, exuding a magnificent aura.

His mind trembled, and his magical power surged, surging and turbulent within his dantian.

At this moment, even if a seventh-level Foundation Establishment cultivator were to confront him, he was confident he could defeat his opponent.

Zhang Yuanzhu can already be considered a strongman.

Next, we will continue to search for special terrain to refine the Lung Metal and Kidney Water.

Zhang Yuanzhu has already planned out his next stage of cultivation.

Body refinement is the most important, followed by magic, and cultivation level and spiritual awareness are ranked last.

This is the fastest way to increase combat power.

"The terrain of the metal and water elements suggests we need to search it carefully."

The young man stood up, his red robe fluttering, his black hair cascading over his shoulders, and took a step forward, ready to leave.

Suddenly, he frowned slightly and saw outside the great formation.

……

"A minor sect from another school dares to attack me."

A middle-aged man dressed in a plain white robe strode forward.

With a casual wave of his hand, the charging cultivators were turned into pools of blood.

A dozen or so cultivators dressed in golden robes, their bodies covered in golden light, charged forward with all their might.

A series of spells converged, transforming into a torrent that surged forward.

The middle-aged man sneered, flicked his fingertips, shattered the golden light, extinguished the spell, and sent cultivators bleeding to their deaths.

"Senior Sister Lu, let's go quickly."

"Our senior master is dead. We are no match for him. That man was just torturing us."

The young man, wielding a sharp sword, growled at the beautiful woman beside him.

Without hesitation, he charged out.

“Senior Sister Hongyun, you are a Foundation Establishment seed of the sect, more valuable than us. You must survive.”

One by one, Qi Refining Realm disciples charged out, only to have their corpses float on the ground.

Lu Hongyun's beautiful face was filled with despair. She was only at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, how could she possibly survive against a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

She wasn't the seventh person from Immortal Soldier Valley who could repeatedly evade the pursuit of Foundation Establishment cultivators while only at the Qi Refining stage, and even turn the tables on them.

This battle ended when my master died.

The middle-aged man, dressed in a plain white robe, had a cold look in his eyes, and his imposing aura emanated from him as he strode forward.

The golden light shattered, the body was torn apart, and blood stained the desert.

"Golden Light Technique, pitifully weak!"

"Weak?"

A voice, seemingly curious, seemingly chuckled, drifted from the edge of the desert, clearly reaching the ears of every cultivator.

A crimson figure appeared, standing silently in the distance. Although it made no move, it captured everyone's attention.

His face and figure were indistinct, but his pair of pupils were more brilliant and vast than the starry sky, making him unforgettable.

"Zhang Yuanzhu!"

A murmur broke the silence.

boom!
A middle-aged man, the yellow sand beneath his feet exploded, raising a cloud of gravel, and a figure in pure white retreated frantically.

There was not the slightest thought of competition.

Zhang Yuanzhu tilted his head slightly, raised his arm leisurely, and spread his five fingers.

In an instant, heaven and earth turned upside down, and the universe was overturned.

The sun, moon, and stars are all in the palm of your hand.

The fleeing figure suddenly stopped, unable to move forward or backward, or up or down.

Like an insect trapped in amber, it remained completely still.

The scene was so shocking that the disciples of the Golden Light Pavilion stood there dumbfounded, at a loss for what to do.

This powerful cultivator from beyond the realm had actually killed his third-level Foundation Establishment senior brother in a battle against someone of the same realm, yet he treated that person like a child.

The young man, feeling carefree, strode through the air and arrived before his adversary.

With five fingers extended forward, golden light burst forth, dazzling as if cast from gold, carrying the immortal and indestructible Daoist charm.

slap~
With his hand firmly gripping his opponent's neck, the young man whispered:
"There are no weak techniques, only weak people."

Bang!
The neck, head, and upper body exploded straight open, like blood-red fireworks blooming in the sky.

The young man flicked the blood off his fingertips, lowered his gaze, and looked down at the desert.

At this moment, all the disciples of the Golden Light Pavilion felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their bodies and minds trembling with fear.

This is not a change that the will can resist, but rather the body's instinct—fear, dread, and trembling.

Zhang Yuanzhu, the seventh person in Immortal Soldier Valley, did not have a very good reputation among the three major unorthodox sects.

Bloodthirsty and violent!
“Senior Zhang, I am…” Lu Hongyun gritted her teeth and stepped out of the crowd.

"Senior Sister Lu, it's been a long time since we parted ways in the Black Horn Secret Realm."

The gentle laughter, like a spring breeze, soothed the fear in the hearts of all the cultivators.
