It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

The entire valley, both inside and out, was encased in countless arrays.

During your previous discussion on the Dao with Xuanmingzi, you learned quite a bit about formations.

The corner you discovered is the trapping formation that would be activated when the Spirit Pool is invaded.

[You only need to trap these demons for a moment, and they will naturally be surrounded by the lightning!]

As you fought and retreated, the demons, thinking you were nearing your limit, became increasingly excited.

[Until the very moment before the second bolt of lightning struck.]

When the demons attempted to repeat their old tricks, they suddenly found themselves held in place by an inexplicable force.

In an instant, a look of panic crossed their faces.

All the demons fought desperately, trying to break free of their restraints.

But the lightning struck much faster than they could even think of escaping.

As the enormous pillar of light crashed down, the entire spirit pool was illuminated.

A massive amount of spiritual energy, imbued with lightning, filled every corner of the spirit pool.

The demons, hiding on the edge, watched your figure from afar with fear.

Even under such powerful lightning, you only looked slightly tired.

They couldn't even tell if you were exhausted from resisting the lightning, or from being worn down by fighting them for too long.

After this scene, the surrounding demons dared not approach any further.

They clearly understood that, being fellow Golden Core cultivators, they couldn't possibly harm you.

The even more powerful demon race elders were all intercepted at the outer perimeter of the Daoist sect.

[There's no way any powerful reinforcements will arrive in the short term.]

Even though the demon race knows that you will be at your weakest during the tribulation of lightning.

[With past examples to learn from, even if they really want to kill you, they'll have to carefully consider whether they can withstand the power of that tribulation lightning.]

Nine bolts of lightning, all striking you with pinpoint accuracy.

With each bolt of lightning that strikes, your body will become one step more complete.

When the tribulation clouds dissipated, although your cultivation level did not increase, your body was refined even more thoroughly by the lightning tribulation.

To the demon race, you exude an alluring scent.

They seemed to have forgotten your act of withstanding the lightning tribulation head-on. Someone moved first, and then all the demons swarmed towards you.

A bloody battle is about to break out.

But the demons quickly realized something was wrong.

The impulse that had been dormant in their bloodline was suddenly awakened.

[Your combat power is simply too formidable. No matter what kind of demon race it is, they cannot break through your defenses, and they might not even last three moves against you.]

In the brief exchange, most of the demons who charged forward had already been killed or wounded.

[You easily pocketed a large number of demon cores, like picking fruit.]

The demons, realizing what was happening, scattered and fled in all directions.

No one dares to keep loitering in front of you!

They are terrified that they will be the next ones you kill!

Only after all the demons have fled will you have a moment to catch your breath.

[If you weren't a body cultivator, you would probably have become a meal for the demon race long ago under such an attack.]

The entire spirit pool was a mess, littered with filth and disorder, thanks to the demons.

The once abundant spiritual energy within the spirit pool is now completely filled with demonic energy.

Outside the Spirit Pool, the sounds of battle continue.

Be careful, follow the direction of the exit and search carefully.

Everything is going as you predicted.

The senior brothers who guarded the spirit pool had already died at the hands of the demon race.

The scene outside the spirit pool was even more chaotic.

The corpses of demons and fellow Daoist disciples were scattered everywhere.

The commotion in the sky continued unabated.

The figures you occasionally glimpse suggest that they are elders locked in combat with powerful demons.

The demon race continues to wreak havoc inside the mountain gate. What do you choose?

1. Rescue others nearby. (This action may attract the attention of the demon race, leading to an ambush and attack.)

2. Head to the courtyard where your master is and meet him. (This action may lead you into a trap.)

3. Act according to circumstances, prioritizing your own survival. (This can greatly increase your chances of survival, but it has a limited timeframe.)

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

Su Chen frowned as he looked at the options before him.

None of the first three options were good choices for him.

Even if he can survive for a while, he cannot stay safe forever.

This means that the demise of the entire Taoist sect was inevitable.

The only thing Su Chen could do was make the best choice to let Zhang Yang live a little longer.

"The demons who were originally in the demon realm suddenly rushed out. The Daoist sect is not on the edge of the world. Why have no other sects come to our aid for so long?"

Could there be something else going on here?

Su Chen glanced at the previous details, but there was just too much information, and even he couldn't accurately find the information he wanted.

Left with no other choice, Su Chen had to give up for the time being.

"How about giving it a try?"

Save the game, select option 1!

Seeing this situation, you are well aware of the danger the door is in.

[Now we can't worry about anything else; we can only do our best to rescue our fellow disciples.]

Although you are only a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, your actual combat strength is no weaker than that of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Even when facing a demon race member at the peak of the Golden Core stage, you would still be able to hold your own.

The demons at the Nascent Soul stage had already been intercepted in the sky by the elders.

As for the Nascent Soul stage demons, they were intercepted as much as possible at the perimeter of the Daoist sect by the enforcement teams and powerful senior brothers.

Only demons at the Golden Core stage and below are allowed to venture deep into the heart of the Daoist realm at this time.

Your appearance makes you a highly desirable target for those demons.

The scent emanating from you is enough to drive the demon race mad.

Suddenly, the demons who had been chasing the other members of the Daoist sect began to turn their guns around and surround your position.

[You knew perfectly well what these demons were after, and the moment their operation began, you frantically warned your fellow disciples to stay away from you.]

In less than a quarter of an hour, dozens of Golden Core cultivators from the demon race surrounded you completely.

[It seems that among them are the demons you encountered in the spirit pool.]

They know perfectly well that you're not someone to be trifled with.

The moment they faced you, they both instinctively chose to use a relentless, attrition-based approach.

No demon will fight you to the bitter end.

They will only keep draining you.

Even if you are determined to target one of them.

However, when faced with sneak attacks from other demon races, they were forced to choose to give up.

As for the other members of the Daoist sect, they are all trapped in a desperate situation and are unable to spare any effort to support you.

At this moment, you can only rely on yourself.

[Charging again and again, only to be repelled time and time again.]

These demons seem to have found a new toy; they're constantly toying with you.

Even if you manage to kill several demons while they're off guard, the remaining ones remain fearless and become even more excited.

Your condition is steadily declining.

[During this time, some fellow disciples wanted to rush out to support you.]

However, faced with a massive number of demons, their charges were not only ineffective, but also resulted in their deaths.

[Looking at the battle in the sky and sensing the situation within the Daoist sect, you clearly know that without support from other sects, the Daoist sect will likely become history.]

The successive battles have taken a heavy toll on you from the demon race.

[You sensed that your body was about to collapse, so you steeled yourself and swallowed all the demon cores you had previously obtained.]

This scene left the demons somewhat stunned.

[For demons, consuming demon cores directly is highly beneficial.]

However, for humans, directly consuming a demon's core is tantamount to ingesting a deadly poison. The clash of demonic energy will cause humans unbearable suffering.

Under normal circumstances, to use a demon core, one needs to go through a complex process to remove impurities before choosing whether to use it in medicine or refine a magical artifact.

[Swallowing it directly is not a good choice, but the scene is undeniably shocking.]

For a time, even the demon race dared not approach you!
