Humans kill demons, and demons eat humans.

These are rules that have been passed down for countless years. Your demon realm has always been peaceful in a corner of the world, and all parties have been abiding by the rules of the demon realm.

I don't know what kind of justice you've come to seek.

The sect leader kept a close eye on the opponent. The mountain gate formation had been broken, and there was also a large number of demonic beasts behind the opponent.

If a full-scale war breaks out, the Taoist sect will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Only by delaying as much as possible and waiting for support from other sects could he possibly help the Daoist sect overcome this crisis.

"Your people killed a dragon that came from the demon realm."

Do you think I should come over?

"The rule of the demon realm is that one must not trespass into the demon realm and harm the demon beasts within."

I never said that we shouldn't kill those who have left the demon realm, especially since that demon beast was already seriously injured.

Those who intervened were far more than just members of the Daoist sect.

The sect leader frowned.

The reason why the demon realm has always been able to maintain its peaceful existence is precisely because of the existence of these rules.

And for countless years, all parties have been silently abiding by the rules.

Now that the nine-tailed fox demon has left the demon realm and is preparing to wreak havoc on the Taoist sects, it has already broken the rules of the demon realm.

If they didn't want to be at odds with the world, they wouldn't do such a thing.

Even if the dragon was killed within the demon realm, there would still be room for negotiation between the two sides.

Moreover, the location where the dragon was killed was still a long way from the entrance to the demon realm.

"I don't care. Since we killed the demon hand from the demon realm, we have to pay the price."

I don't believe in your human beliefs; I only believe in blood for blood.

Before the nine-tailed fox demon finished speaking, all the demonic beasts behind her rushed towards the Taoist sect's mountain gate.

"Nine-Tailed Fox, you have destroyed my Daoist sect today, so you cannot escape unscathed."

It is your demon realm that has broken its own rules.

When all the major sects join forces to invade the demon realm, you'll have no time to regret it!

The sect leader gritted his teeth and blocked the Nine-Tailed Fox's attack.

The reason why the demon realm can live in peace is because of these rules. Now that the other side has broken the rules, then don't blame the human sects for joining forces to invade the demon realm!

"Don't worry, you won't live to see that day."

The Nine-Tailed Fox is extremely powerful. Even though they are both at the Fusion Stage, the Sect Master is no match for it.

But he could only grit his teeth and hold on. If the Nine-Tailed Fox broke through here, no one in the entire Dao Sect would survive.

Under the immense pressure of the Spirit Pool, your perseverance was especially agonizing.

For you, not breaking through is death.

You have no choice but to fight tooth and nail, and do everything you can to break through your limits.

Just when you were struggling to keep going, you suddenly discovered an opportunity.

That was the only chance you would ever have.

You frantically gather your strength and concentrate it on one point.

[The moment you hear the cracking sound, you feel a sense of joy; the shackles you've placed on yourself have finally shattered completely.]

With the appearance of the Golden Core, the pressure on your body has lessened considerably.

[After being suppressed for a long time, it was completely released when you broke through to the Golden Core stage.]

You have leaped past the early stage of the Golden Core realm and become a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

[But before you could even leave the spirit pool to deliver the good news, you suddenly sensed a demonic aura.]

[The Spirit Pool is the heartland of the Daoist sect.]

[It's impossible for demonic energy to exist in a place like this, yet you definitely sensed it.]

[Given the recent events at the Spirit Pool, you know in your heart that the Daoist sect is likely facing a war!]

Chapter 174 Your Choice

The lightning tribulation above your head is rapidly forming.

For you, the crisis goes far beyond this.

[In the distance, at the edge of the spirit pool, several dark figures are rapidly approaching you.]

You can clearly sense their presence.

These guys are demons!

The crisis facing Taoism is far more severe than you can imagine.

The demon race even entered the secret realms of the Daoist sect.

This means that all external defensive measures have become completely ineffective at this moment.

The entire Taoist sect is currently facing a catastrophe.

[You sense the changes in the tribulation clouds above your head; this time, the oppressive force of heaven and earth is far more ferocious than last time.]

However, it should still be within your limits.

The moment the demon approached you, you didn't hesitate for a moment and killed it with a single punch.

But the other person's death seemed like just a prelude.

More demons discovered the existence of the Spirit Pool, and they also noticed you, all alone within it.

Even though the ominous clouds in the sky are still brewing.

These demons showed absolutely no fear, charging towards you wave after wave.

【Your choice:】

[1. Stay in the Spirit Pool and complete the tribulation. (This option may have serious consequences.)]

[2. Choose to break out alone and leave the Spirit Pool first. (This option may have serious consequences.)]

[3. Personal intervention, remaining attempts: three.]

Choose 1!

You glanced at the tribulation clouds overhead; the lightning could strike at any moment, and whether you left the spirit pool or not would make little difference to you.

Moreover, more and more demons are appearing, and each of them is eyeing you with predatory intent.

The fighting had long since devolved into a chaotic melee.

Demons below the Golden Core realm pose absolutely no threat to you.

[You haven't yet seen the demons above the Golden Core stage; they are probably still outside the Daoist sect's interception line.]

Facing only Golden Core stage demons will still put pressure on you, but it won't crush you. Instead, they'll act like whetstones, sharpening you even further.

As the first bolt of lightning struck, all the demons who had been attacking you instantly retreated.

Only a very small number of demons have been entangled by you and are unable to retreat.

The moment the lightning tribulation, carrying an aura of destruction, struck you, the demon race you had entangled instantly turned to ashes.

[But you looked as if you'd just taken a shower; your skin was slightly flushed, and your expression showed no sign of pain, but rather a hint of pleasure.]

This sight filled the surrounding demons who were observing you with both excitement and a touch of fear.

What excites them is that you, as a body cultivator, are more beneficial to them than other cultivators. If they can devour you, it might even allow their strength to advance to a higher level.

What terrified them was that they had just witnessed the horror of the lightning tribulation.

[The power that could destroy them had absolutely no effect on you.]

Your abilities may far surpass theirs.

However, the demons' hesitation lasted only a very short time.

Anyone who can withstand a lightning tribulation unscathed is undoubtedly a genius of the human race.

They need rations like yours!

What they fear more than death itself is that other demons will beat you to it.

In that instant, the number of demons attacking you increased significantly.

The tribulation lightning is still brewing.

You know all too well that facing these demons alone would likely mean certain death.

There's only one thing you can do to change this crisis.

That means dragging all these demons into this mess.

Only by harnessing the power of the lightning tribulation can you wipe out these besieging demons in one fell swoop.

However, this could also lead to unimaginable situations.

The power of the thunder is related to the number of people gathered beneath the tribulation clouds.

The more people under the tribulation clouds, the stronger the falling lightning will be.

[The demons besieging you are far more than just a few.]

[It will be no easy task for you to divert the calamity of lightning the moment it strikes.]

These demons, though lacking in some techniques, possessed strength comparable to cultivators of the same level, thanks to the enhancement of their bloodline talents.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, they cannot stand still and let you control them.

After carefully observing the area, you finally found a usable corner inside the spirit pool.

The spiritual pools within the Taoist sect are built into the valley to ensure their secrecy and sturdiness.
