Chapter 884 The New Evil Lord
Yun Xi sighed and said:

“I’ve been through it once, so I’m better off than you.”

Ren Tianning turned her light amber eyes and said:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, in order to retrieve the immortal bones and escape the siege of the evil cultivators' remnant souls, we had no choice but to use forbidden techniques."

You mentioned that divine punishment would descend, but you didn't specify what kind of punishment it would be. Since you've already experienced it once, could you perhaps tell us a little about it so we can prepare?

Although the other three did not speak, they also turned their gazes to Yunxi, presumably because they had the same problem.

Yunxi stroked the jade pendant at her waist before calmly recounting her journey to the underworld and how, in order to rescue her companions and seal the breach in the eighteen levels of hell, she had no choice but to use the "Heaven-Defying" divine script, which resulted in the "Soul Thunder" striking down.

Upon hearing Yunxi's words, Cangfeng reacted the most among the four, because he was a ghost cultivator. Even if he cultivated to the Mahayana stage, his soul power was only solidified like a real person, but he had not truly cultivated a physical body. Only by breaking through to the Immortal Rank could he regain a physical body, and the "soul lightning" was the most damaging punishment for him.

Zang Feng said in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."

Yunxi glanced at Cangfeng, then turned her gaze to Wuwang and said:
"Master Wuwang, do you think Fellow Daoist Cangfeng can pull through?"

Wu Wang said with a smile:

"I dare not accept the title of 'Master,' just call me Wuwang. I think among the five of us, Fellow Daoist Ranxi has the greatest chance of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation. Fellow Daoist Cangfeng's merit is still somewhat meager. However, if we leave the Ancient Battlefield, perhaps we can all gain a wave of merit. The power of merit should be able to mitigate some of the power of the 'Soul Lightning.'"

Yunxi nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and looked at the four people with a calm gaze, saying:

“‘Defying the Heavens’ was conceived and initiated by me. The four of you are just assisting. The power of the Heavenly Punishment Lightning should be less. Instead of worrying about whether you can withstand the ‘Soul Lightning,’ you should try to improve your cultivation as much as possible within the limited time.”

Whether it's taking pills, refining rare and precious materials, or absorbing spirit stones, magic stones, and soul stones, the goal is to improve one's cultivation level as quickly as possible. After leaving the ancient battlefield, I don't know whether the tribulation lightning for advancement or the lightning of heavenly punishment will fall first.

We used forbidden techniques to save our lives, and this is the price we have to pay. It's fair.

Although Han Baifeng didn't know the full extent of the "Soul Lightning's" power, the fact that it made the elites from all the regions present change their expressions suggested it was an extremely severe punishment. Therefore, he spoke in a gruff voice:
“Your Excellency Ranxi, I have had good fortune since leaving the secret realm. I have been able to advance to the late stage of the seventh rank in such a short time, which is considered fast among demon cultivators. If I continue to go into seclusion now, I will not make any major breakthroughs. I plan to go to the front line and seek breakthroughs in battle. This has always been the way for us demon cultivators to advance.”

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"That's what I think too. Simply staying in seclusion to cultivate is not the best way to break through."

Ren Tianning and Zang Feng exchanged a glance before Ren Tianning spoke:

"Now that we know what we will face in the future, let's go to the front lines to hone our skills and hopefully make a breakthrough. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ranxi would be willing to team up with us?"

Yunxi didn't expect Ren Tianning to suggest forming a team, but she could understand it after thinking about it. The five of them had worked together before and had a certain tacit understanding. When their strengths were similar, they could play a greater role. Just as she was about to nod, she heard a loud bang, followed by a huge earthquake.

The five people immediately slipped out of the tent and took to the air to look at the source of the loud noise. A huge black lotus appeared above the battlefield. As the lotus petals peeled away, the person in the center of the lotus was exposed to all the cultivators.

Yunxi's pupils contracted the moment she saw the other person clearly, and a surge of anger rose in her heart in the next instant. She instantly teleported to the front line.

Because Yunxi was too fast, the four people around her fell behind by a step. Han Baifeng trembled and said:

"Lord Ranxi is very angry."

Wu Wang frowned as well:
"Amitabha! Let's go and see."

Ren Tianning had already activated her "Heavenly Demon Eyes," her light amber eyes turning deep amber, and she said coldly:
"She is a newly emerged evil lord." Zang Feng also sensed the overwhelming evil energy and unconsciously reached for the soul whip at his waist, saying:
“Now that we are a team, there’s no reason for Fellow Daoist Ranxi to face danger alone. Let’s go and lend her a hand.”

After saying that, the four of them disappeared from the camp and appeared beside Ranxi the next moment.

At this moment, Yunxi coldly stared at the female evil lord who had the same face as Huajian in her dream. Her anger was soaring, causing her spiritual power to surge violently. Master Ruohuai chanted a Buddhist prayer and transmitted his voice:
"Ranxi, calm down! Don't fall for the evil cultivator's tricks."

Although Master Ruohuai did not know why Ranxi was angry, he still reminded her immediately.

Yunxi was pulled back to her senses by Master Ruohuai's voice. She took a deep breath to calm the turbulent spiritual power within her body, but her gaze toward him grew colder and colder.

The person opposite opened their bright, clear eyes, their gaze towards the several True Venerables of the Spirit Realm filled with disdain, and smiled, saying:

"You dare to stop us from leaving Wuwangxu? You're courting death."

Yunxi responded with the same contemptuous sneer:

"Us?! The former Evil Lord was defeated by you True Venerables, which gave you the opportunity to be born, and you still have that face! Go back and tell your master that you really disgust us!"

The female cultivator opposite her narrowed her eyes and said:

"What right does a mere Nascent Soul cultivator have to challenge me?"

Yun Xi's eyes turned cold, and she reached out and grasped the Seven Star Deadly Staff in her hand:

You'll find out soon enough whether you're qualified or not.

He then flashed into the battlefield.

At the same time, the Frost Needles fell, freezing most of the evil cultivators and evil creatures on the battlefield. Yun Xi threw a punch from a distance, blasting all the frozen evil creatures into dust. Then, a flurry of snow fell rapidly, freezing the retreating evil cultivators and evil creatures once again.

Master Ruohuai exchanged a glance with She Baihui beside him, then frowned and said:

"Something's not right with Ranxi. Tell all the cultivators on our side to come back so we don't get caught in the crossfire."

Excitement welled up in She Baihui's vertical pupils:

"It's rare to see the little girl lose her temper. It's a good opportunity to see where she's at her limit. Master, protect the retreating cultivators. I'll keep an eye on Ranxi and make sure she doesn't suffer any losses."

Upon hearing this, Master Ruohuai waved his sleeve and sent the cultivator who had been held back by the new evil lord away from the battlefield.

As the battlefield was cleared, Yunxi's attacks became increasingly unrestrained. She used her divine sense to control the Frost Mystic Ice Needles and the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella, along with the Seven Star Deadly Staff in her hand, and three attacks fell simultaneously.

The newly appointed Evil Lord seemed surprised that a Nascent Soul cultivator would dare to provoke her. He gripped a black flower whip and coiled it like a serpent toward the Seven Star Deadly Staff in Yun Xi's hand.

The spirit of the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella, Heiyao, has multiplied into nine, entwining themselves around the black lotus protecting the female evil lord, and beginning to kill each other.

Yunxi's Seven Star Deadly Staff, imbued with immense power of lightning-based laws, crashed down with destructive force.

A loud bang rang out again on the battlefield.
