Demonic Demoness Training Project

Xie Xiao swayed over and stood behind Xie Lingyin, saying slowly and deliberately:

"Sister, do you like her?"

"No, when we were in the most danger, when everyone else abandoned us, only she caught up with us, leaving behind only the words 'The world is vast, we'll meet again someday.' What is that?"

……

"Wow, finally got rid of that guy, hehe."

Lu Li wiped the sweat from his brow, found a secluded spot, and began preparing for his breakthrough.

The immeasurable calamities within his body stirred once more, and Lu Li activated the Transformation Furnace to begin digesting them.

buzz~

The twelfth attempt failed.

The thirteenth attempt failed.

The fourteenth attempt failed again...

The heavenly tribulation was delayed, but with each failure, the remaining immeasurable tribulation was reactivated, initiating a new round of eruption.

After being fitted with the glass bone, the Boundless Calamity could no longer erode the bones and instead began to attack the internal organs. Lu Li felt a dull pain in the organs other than his lungs and spleen, which seemed to be on the verge of decay and rot.

However, this time, Lu Li had a countermeasure.

hum!

The transformation furnace spun rapidly, emanating endless suction that absorbed the immeasurable calamities flowing through the body, compressing and refining them until they were finally put to use.

The twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, and twenty-ninth attempts to break through all failed!

Lu Li recalled a passage from Tan Mengzi's legacy—

“Using the source of the boundless eons is already going against the heavens. Even if this method were placed in the ancient times, it would be the most demonic of demonic cultivators, the most unorthodox of unorthodox paths. Few people would dare to try it.”

"The success rate of this open-source method is extremely low, with less than one in a hundred succeeding. Most cultivators either cannot survive the immeasurable eons or perish in the subsequent heavenly tribulations."

"Remember, remember, use with caution!"

Lu Li has been able to hold on until now entirely thanks to his body, which, after being partially transformed into a puppet, is comparable in strength to an open-source cultivator. To paraphrase Tan Mengzi's words, it was like saying, "Back then, we didn't have your conditions."

Soon, he reached the thirtieth time, and the immeasurable eons within his body were almost completely exhausted.

But the heavenly tribulation still hasn't arrived.

"I remember this thing, it has a guaranteed minimum return."

Lu Li searched his mind and quickly found the answer.

"By invoking the lightning tribulation through countless eons, every four attempts will result in one more heavenly tribulation, up to a maximum of thirty-six countless eons, nine heavenly tribulations."

"In history, there has only been one cultivator who survived thirty-six immeasurable tribulations plus nine heavenly tribulations. He was the earliest Dao Body of Returning to Nothingness, the first ancestor of the Heavenly Uranium Sect. Countless geniuses tried this technique afterward, but without exception, they all ended in failure."

In fact, Lu Li has only activated the transformation furnace so far. After collecting all three body-forging pieces, there is still one supernatural power that he has not yet used.

So Lu Li got up again. He took out the remaining remains of the Ghost-Faced Flower King and refined three uranium pills. He took out half a uranium pill from the Qi-Harmony Cauldron and put it into the Furnace along with the three newly refined pills.

hum!

The three and a half uranium pills continuously emitted boundless calamities. At this rate, another round of attempts could be conducted approximately every ten hours. Even so, Lu Li still felt it was too slow.

So Lu Li got up and left the spot, heading deeper into the Boundless Realm.

Lu Li passed by the pear orchard and the canyon where he had hunted the Ghost-Faced Flower King. Because Lu Li was currently at the Puppet Master Realm, the Boundless Tribulation here did not deliberately target him.

Reaching this point is still not enough.

At the same time, a young cultivator discovered Lu Li's whereabouts. He was wearing a black Daoist robe and had a sinister face. Behind the rock wall beside him stood a giant with a red face and white hair. The giant looked ferocious, and bone nails were inserted into every joint of his body.

The young cultivator hid in the shadows, observing the petite figure with great interest.

"Someone has actually arrived. To be able to get this far, she seems to be a female cultivator. Who could it be? Is it Miss Xie from our White Moon Palace, or that one from the Azure Sun Palace? Or perhaps, someone from the middle ranks?"

The man strode forward, each of his five fingers wrapped in gold thread. With a slight exertion of his fingers, the bone nails on the giant beside him trembled slightly, and he stealthily followed.

The deeper you go, the closer you get to the center of the Guixu Seal explosion, the lower the terrain becomes, and the less vegetation there is around.

Lu Li stopped and looked into the distance. He saw everything in front of him distorted and space swaying. A magnificent will came from ancient times. Even after tens of thousands of years, the aftershocks of the Boundless Blessing Return to the Void Seal had not dissipated.

Having reached this point, the place is utterly desolate. Only demonic beasts and spiritual plants that have adapted to the Boundless Tribulation can survive in the Boundless Realm. These mutated species all yearn to continue mutating, and as long as they can endure it, they will continue to venture deeper into the Boundless Realm.

But everything has its limits. Lu Li looked around and suddenly found that all that was left was desolation.

The land beneath his feet had become a forbidden zone for life.

Not only living things, but even inanimate objects were not spared. The oxcart beneath them creaked and groaned, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely crushed by countless eons.

"Let's do it here."

Lu Li stopped in his tracks. Although there was still a road ahead, he did not continue forward.

At the edge of the field of vision, there was a bright sun, but it was a pitch-black void, a void world created by the Boundless Blessing Return to the Void Seal.

The immeasurable calamity pressed down on Lu Li relentlessly. The Furnace of Transformation operated at full power, continuing its attempts to trigger the heavenly tribulation. After thirty-five failed attempts, a soft click was heard from within Lu Li's body, as if something had shattered.

The thirty-sixth attempt succeeded!

boom!

In an instant, the lightning serpent ripped open the sky, illuminating the boundless realm as if it were daytime.

Behind Lu Li, the young cultivator stopped and did not continue forward. Having come this far, even he dared not go any further.

He stared intently at Lu Li, his eyes gleaming with even greater greed.

"Great! I just picked up that red-faced demon and turned him into a corpse puppet not long ago, and now I've run into such an interesting guy."

"For someone with the cultivation of the Puppet Master Realm to dare to come to a place like this and resist the erosion of the immeasurable tribulation, it's impossible that she's just relying on her physical body to hold on. It must be because she has an excellent affinity with the immeasurable tribulation, perhaps even better than this red-faced ghost."

"Right now, she is breaking through to a higher level. If I can kill her while she is weak and then refine her into a puppet, then no one among my peers will be able to compete with me."

Chapter 127 Rising Against the Tide

Amidst the purplish-blue sky, a continuous booming sound erupted as a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, heading straight for Lu Li's head.

boom!

The lightning bolt struck Lu Li, who met it with his physical strength, yet remained unmoved. With his current physical strength, the first tribulation of lightning could no longer shake him.

So this is what it felt like for cultivators to undergo tribulation in ancient times...

He knew that it would be easier to advance through the formal channels by consuming Open Source Pills, but Lu Li still chose this path because it had a higher potential.

During his battle with Tan Mengzi, Lu Li realized that even though Tan Mengzi's divine sense had been around for thousands of years and was no longer even one-tenth of its peak strength—his divine sense was at the upper level of grade C, while Tan Mengzi's was at the middle level of grade C—he still could not defeat her.

This is not just a difference in experience, but also a difference in the purity of one's divine will.

Although the Dao of Puppetry and the Dao of Alchemy have developed over countless years, and the human race has finally found a stable way to advance and increase their resources, this way still has its flaws.

A promotion gained from a single pill can never compare to the cultivation achieved through countless trials and tribulations.

Lu Li wanted to go even higher; he was not content with just opening up new sources. His goal was the lofty and powerful immortal clans.

boom!

As his thoughts drifted, the second tribulation of lightning suddenly struck!

Lu Li swayed slightly, but remained unharmed.

At this moment, a young cultivator ten miles away was hiding in the shadows, quietly watching this place. His name was Wan Hanshan, the second holy son of the White Moon Palace.

Sensing the tremendous commotion in the distance, Wan Hanshan pressed his temples.

The next moment, a cylinder about the thickness of a little finger appeared in his eyes. This cylinder was a magical artifact called the Extreme Eye Mirror, which allowed him to see the scenery ten miles away.

He had long heard that demonic cultivators could advance to higher realms without relying on elixirs, but would trigger a tribulation of lightning. The reason was simple, and this was not the first time he had witnessed it.

Earlier, he received a distress call from a deacon of his sect and went to provide assistance, only to find that Ji Lie was trapped in a pear orchard. The big, clumsy guy had been blinded by someone and was running around like a headless fly.

This guy had a powerful physical body, but his spiritual cultivation was only at the Ding level, while Wan Hanshan's spiritual cultivation had reached the upper level of the B level. He used the Soul-Locking Nail to control Ji Lie and then took him away from the pear forest.

Then, Ji Lie and Wuliang Jie had excellent compatibility, so he simply brought him here and let him absorb Wuliang Jie in an attempt to break through the Open Source.

At that time, Ji Lie broke through the source and also triggered a lightning tribulation, but it was not as grand as the woman in the distance. The first lightning tribulation alone was more powerful than Ji Lie's third lightning tribulation.

"I refined Ji Lie into a puppet to help him open the source of power through the immeasurable tribulation. I thought this was the pinnacle of a second-stage puppet, but I didn't expect there to be another expert. However, the commotion she caused during her tribulation will surely attract others later."

Thinking this, Wan Hanshan became even more vigilant about his surroundings. He was waiting for an opportunity to strike, waiting until Lu Li was busy dealing with the lightning tribulation and could hardly hold on before making his move.

Boom boom boom!

Subsequently, lightning bolts struck one after another. The third, fourth, and fifth lightning bolts fell in succession. Lu Li's body finally could not withstand the force and was struck down by the fifth lightning bolt, landing heavily on the ground.

He got up from the ground, his cheeks crackling with electricity.

This fifth lightning tribulation had already put immense pressure on him; its power was far beyond what an ordinary human body could withstand.

When the sixth tribulation lightning struck, he took a deep breath and pushed the Azure Netherworld Skin and Ice Skin to their limits.

Just then, a huge figure appeared out of thin air, moving at an incredible speed, crashing down like a moving mountain.

boom!

"That's Ji Lie!"

Ji Lie is now twice the size he was last seen. His eyes are pale, with only the sclera visible and no pupils.

"Something's not right with this guy. Did he break through? Great! We didn't finish the fight last time!"

Lu Li's spirits lifted, and his short legs moved swiftly, his steps seemingly small, but in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Ji Lie.

With the ligaments in his legs snapping shut, Lu Li lowered his body slightly, then leaped three zhang into the air, raising his right foot to deliver a flying kick to the opponent's head.

The size difference between the two was too great. In Wan Hanshan's eyes, Lu Li's flying kick was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

"Hmph, over your own strength!"

However, the next moment, Wan Hanshan's eyes widened, and he was almost shocked.

The kick landed squarely on Ji Lie's forehead. Ji Lie immediately screamed in pain, lost his balance, and fell backward.

Judging from this, the opponent is actually a physical cultivator!?

Ji Lie was also a body cultivator, and a body cultivator at the Open Source Realm, yet he was kicked over by Lu Li. What terrifying physical strength this was! The strangest thing was Lu Li's size; how could there be such a small body cultivator?

After kicking Ji Lie over, Lu Li retreated instantly and landed steadily.

Ji Lie successfully broke through and his strength increased greatly, but Lu Li did not stagnate either, partly due to his jade feet and glass bones.

On the other hand, every time Lu Li circulates his cultivation technique and consumes countless eons, his physical strength is slightly enhanced. After thirty-five failures, his physical strength is now incomparable to what it used to be.

boom!

The moment Lu Li landed, the seventh tribulation of lightning struck down with a deafening roar, leaving him charred black, but his eyes became even clearer.

At this moment, several auras arrived from afar. These were the elites from the two sects who had sensed the commotion and rushed over, as well as experts from various families.

Without exception, all of these people were at the Open Source Realm, including Xie Lingyin. Looking at the petite figure in mid-air, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her expression worried.

Could it be her?

She didn't remember Mo Wan's face, but she clearly remembered that Lu Li possessed an extremely terrifying immeasurable tribulation. She guessed at the time that Lu Li might be cultivating a demonic cultivation technique.

Therefore, when she saw someone undergoing tribulation, the first person she thought of was Mo Wan.

However, Mo Wan had a sudden burst of power at the time, revealing her cultivation level of the Creation Realm. If she really had the cultivation level of the Creation Realm, why would she be undergoing tribulation here?

Judging from this scene, it doesn't seem like a tribulation of the Creation Realm, which puzzled Xie Lingyin.

After much thought, the only explanation that can be found is that Lu Li may have an unparalleled expert behind him, and the power he displayed at the time was actually due to that expert possessing him.

These people had different expressions and were all harboring ulterior motives.

Some people were impressed by Lu Li's methods and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"The Demonic Path has been opened up. I never thought that I would be able to witness the opening up of the Demonic Path in the Boundless Realm in my lifetime."

Some people, fearing the world wasn't chaotic enough, incited others to do the same:

"Gentlemen, the opening of the demonic path is a grave crime, and everyone has the right to kill it. Why don't you all act quickly?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately changed the subject.

Although they are righteous forces and it is their duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, the concentration of the immeasurable tribulation ahead is too high, and most of them are not able to continue to go deeper. Killing Lu Li now would not bring them any direct benefit, so they all looked away and were unwilling to go forward.
