I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"This is... that old thief, Gengqiao?"

Da Yuanfei, who had just entered the 'teleportation channel' and hadn't even settled down yet, was startled when she saw that what Wei Tu threw at her was a 'woodcutter', and her expression became somewhat flustered.

After all, this was a dignified woodcutter, the woodcutter who, in the 'Illusory Mirage Realm,' joined forces with that 'Confucian Robe Corpse Spirit' to fight against a group of powerful figures!
In reality, her strength might not be as formidable as the split soul of Pei Laogui carried by her 'avatar,' but she wouldn't be so miserable as to be defeated, captured, and have her cultivation level drastically reduced in a short time.

However, even though she knew that Geng Qiaozi was no longer a threat, she still dared not risk taking the body that Wei Tu threw at her... as if it were a hot potato, and prepared to swat it away.

But at that moment, a loud bang suddenly rang in her ears. The simple word "take it" made her body stiffen, and her right hand trembled as she caught the "woodcutter" thrown by Wei Tu.

This obedience stemmed not only from her 'avatar' being imprisoned by Wei Tu and her 'weakness' being manipulated by him, but also from a deep-seated...fear of Wei Tu!
"It seems that the relationship between the two of you is more complicated than I thought... Fairy Consort, I'm curious about what your avatar encountered in that 'Human Race Secret Realm'." Seeing this strange scene, Lord Aoshan couldn't help but be taken aback. He looked at Consort Dayuan with great interest, as if trying to see some secrets in the woman's face.

"Lord Aoshan, this is not the time for our two clans to argue. If we don't deal with this Alchemist Ruan... not only will we gain nothing, but we may also create a powerful enemy." At this moment, Da Yuanjing, who had also torn apart the 'spatial barrier' and entered the 'teleportation channel', immediately snorted coldly and protected his sister.

"Three people? Looks like there aren't too many pursuers."

At the same moment, Wei Tu, sensing that no more cultivators were arriving from the outside world, relaxed his tense expression slightly.

Indeed, although he underestimated these powerful individuals when he escaped from the 'Illusory Mirage Realm' again using the [Boundary-Severing Stone], it is foreseeable that there are not many powerful individuals with the strength of Aoshan Jun and Dayuan Jing.

Nothing else—

Reaching the battlefield where he and Geng Qiaozi were at extreme speed was already the first step in the selection process.

This screening process has eliminated over 90% of cultivators who have achieved the fusion of the three races.

Not to mention, now they can see through the 'teleportation channel' and tear through the 'spatial barrier' to enter this place.

This second selection process is difficult for anyone other than the most outstanding members of the Aoshan King and Dayuan Jing.

Even the Great Abyss Consort probably only managed to get here by chance thanks to the 'external help' of these two people.

"Although these two are troublesome, it's not difficult to force them to retreat..." Wei Tu narrowed his eyes, waved his sleeve, and was about to make a move.

But at that moment...

Dae-yeon-hime, who was standing alongside Ao-san-kun, suddenly changed her expression, pulled Dae-yeon-kei aside, and took a few steps back, making it seem as if she did not intend to take action.

"Third sister, what's wrong with you..." Da Yuanjing didn't understand. Although he knew that Wei Tu was powerful and that Wei Tu was very likely to have left a psychological shadow on Da Yuanfei, he couldn't imagine that Da Yuanfei would be so afraid of Wei Tu that she didn't even have the courage to face him now.

“This cultivator is no ordinary person. Even the divided soul of ‘Old Ghost Pei’ of the Mist Ghost Clan was wiped out by this cultivator within that ‘Human Race Secret Realm’…” Da Yuanfei’s lips moved slightly as she transmitted a reminder to Da Yuanjing.

Upon hearing this, Da Yuanjing's expression changed slightly, and his gaze towards Wei Tu was filled with deep apprehension.

The capture and killing of the woodcutter could have been a fluke, or it could have involved some powerful means.

But this has been done time and time again.

This is no longer just terrifying, it's true 'hard power'.

"Moreover, what's even more terrifying than this cultivator's strength is his cunning... Even with our discerning eyes, we didn't realize back then that 'Gengqiaozi' had fallen for his trap? He directly entangled him! Now, he's lost his mind and his most precious treasure." Da Yuanfei took a deep breath and continued to remind him.

Upon hearing this, even if Da Yuanjing hesitated, he dared not step forward easily, lest he follow in the footsteps of 'Geng Qiaozi'.

However, this behavior was not taken seriously by the Mastiff Lord.

They simply assumed that Wei Tu was using her 'weak point' to threaten Consort Dayuan and force her to stop.

If it were him, he would also do the same as Wei Tu, trying to minimize the number of enemies he needs to deal with.

"Once this guy surnamed Ruan falls into a disadvantageous position, Da Yuanfei and Da Yuanjing will definitely come up and take advantage of the situation..." Lord Aoshan sneered inwardly, but he didn't take it seriously.

As one of the six combined divine lords, his status in the Xiaotian clan was extraordinary, and he was not worried about the two siblings, Dayuanfei and her brother, stealing his spoils.

"If I can kill this cultivator, then the Fairy Concubine's 'avatar' will surely fall into my hands..." Lord Aoshan's eyes flickered, a hint of desire flashing in them.

As the chosen bride for the marriage alliance, Princess Dayuan was unparalleled in beauty and talent among the entire four-armed ape tribe.

She was also one of the most outstanding figures among their peers, who could be called "Fairy Consort".

And now, she is the wife of the Mist Demon Clan Chief...

With his intelligence, although he wouldn't be too greedy for her, he wouldn't mind taking this opportunity to seize the 'weak point' of the Great Yuan Consort, bring her into the harem, and lewdly exploit her.

"Since Fairy Fei and Fellow Daoist Jing have backed down, then... if I am victorious later, I hope you two will not be too greedy for treasure, lest you ruin the friendship between our two clans."

Lord Aoshan sneered, warned Consort Dayuan and Dayuan Jing, and then waved his sleeve, casting a spell in the direction of Wei Tu.

The next moment, a wolf howl like a wolf was heard, and dense black clouds instantly filled the sky above Wei Tu's body... At the same time, a wolf's head, as big as a house and completely black, emerged from these black clouds and, with lightning speed, opened its blood-red maw and swallowed Wei Tu below.

All of this happened too suddenly.

From the moment Da Yuanfei retreated to the sudden formation of this giant wolf head, only a moment had passed. Even though Wei Tu was somewhat prepared, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised and deeply moved by this unexpected scene.

"As expected of the combined Six Divine Lords."

Wei Tu was filled with admiration. He could tell that the giant wolf head was formed by the divine power of the Mastiff Lord, rather than by the 'Great Vehicle Techniques' bestowed by elders like Geng Qiaozi and Da Yuanfei.

However, he is no small figure either.

As the 'giant wolf head' lunged downwards, he did not hesitate to use his 'Giant Strength Golden Body' secret technique, transforming in the blink of an eye into a 'golden giant' even larger than the 'giant wolf head'.

At the same time, he suddenly stretched his right hand forward and grabbed at the 'giant wolf head'.

A series of popping sounds followed.

A series of powerful tremors nearly shattered the 'teleportation channel' formed from silver-white runes, causing it to crumble from the void.

Fortunately, the giant wolf head was also shattered into dust by Wei Tu's golden palm strike.

However, the force of the impact caused his palm to split open, leaving it bleeding profusely.

"The Hermit of Grey Mountain's 'Giant Golden Body'? This Alchemist Ruan is truly remarkable!" Lord Aoshan laughed loudly, as if Wei Tu's counterattack had ignited his fighting spirit. He grabbed forward with one hand, pulled out a short silver ruler, and then simply waved it a few times in Wei Tu's direction.

Awoo! Awoo!
In an instant, two more giant wolf heads, identical to the previous ones, condensed within the dark cloud. However, these two giant wolf heads seemed to have consciousness as well, with a silver pupil appearing and flashing simultaneously between their brows. Instantly, a silver chain condensed and shot towards Wei Tu, who was not far away.

This silver chain may seem ordinary, but as it fell, a tremendous force of law instantly erupted from it, firmly enveloping the area where Wei Tu was located.

However, at this moment, Wei Tu also frowned. His figure flickered, and his magical body returned to its normal size. He held a gem bracelet that shimmered with five-colored magic rings and swung it at the silver chain.

Immediately afterwards, he made another hand seal, and a dark figure appeared beside him, striking the distant Mastiff Lord with lightning speed.

"Have they revealed all their cards?"

Seeing this, Lord Aoshan sneered, as if the [Five Elements Demon-Slaying Ring] and the 'black figure' before him were nothing more than that.

Soon, a loud explosion rang out as the 'silver chains' and the 'five-colored magic rings' formed by the [Five Elements Demon-Slaying Rings] collided.

At this moment, Lord Aoshan remained calm and composed. He stomped his foot on the void, conjuring a vast lightning array that directly met the 'black figure' that Wei Tu had summoned to attack him.

Dozens of thick arcs of electricity immediately condensed within the lightning array, crackling and striking the 'dark figure', forcing it to stop and reveal its true form near the lightning array.

It was a dark-skinned demon clad in armor, with disheveled hair, exuding a powerful demonic aura. It was impossible to discern any human form, making it exceptionally terrifying.

Surprisingly, its body was not damaged at all when it faced the thick electric arcs formed by the lightning array, as if it could absorb these thick electric arcs... step by step, it got closer and closer to the Mastiff Lord inside the array.

"A Primordial Ancient Demon Body at the Peak of Demon Lord Status?"

Upon seeing this, Lord Aoshan narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a greedy look of delight. After all, such a demonic body has always been an excellent treasure for refining clones, a rare treasure that is hard to find even in the Spirit Realm and the Ancient Demon Realm.

"Is this demonic body... the one that killed Pei Laogui's divided soul?" But at this moment, Da Yuanfei couldn't help but frown slightly. She had a feeling that Wei Tu's strength was far from weak and that he had not yet used his full strength.

And at this very moment.

Suddenly, Wei Tu, who was urging his magic power to fight against the two 'giant wolf heads' that had formed 'silver chains', appeared in front of Aoshan Jun in an instant, along with the 'ancient demon body'.

Instead of the original location, there were five seventh-tier refined corpses with different auras and appearances. Together, they controlled the [Five Elements Demon-Slaying Ring] without showing any signs of weakness.

At that moment, Wei Tu, who had instantly appeared in front of Aoshan Jun, did not hesitate for a moment. He raised his hand and grabbed a banner embroidered with countless stars, which appeared in his palm.

With a wave of his hand.

A dazzling galaxy, formed from countless stars, seemed to cover the entire sky, sweeping towards the Aoshan Lord, who was sheltered by the thunder array.

But this attack is far from over.

At that moment, the 'Ancient Demon Body' held a blood-green alms bowl and condensed a 'magical hand', which, along with the dazzling starry sky, grabbed down at Lord Aoshan.

A strange scene unfolded.

Enveloped by this 'blood-green alms bowl,' the Aoshan Lord felt as if the air around him had solidified, becoming as heavy as ten thousand pounds. It was as if a giant mountain was on his back, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

At this moment, Aoshan Jun, who was full of confidence in dealing with Wei Tu, finally showed a slight change in expression.

Each of these attacks was not difficult for him to defend against with his strength, but what was difficult was... facing the powerful techniques used by these two 'body refiners' at the same time.

"It shouldn't be too difficult; we shouldn't be defeated."

Aoshan Jun's eyes turned slightly cold. He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence into the lightning array beneath his feet. Then, his hands continued to rapidly form hand seals, causing the silver short ruler floating in front of him to flash wildly with countless ruler shadows.

In an instant, the 'lightning array' that was just a few dozen thick arcs of electricity suddenly increased to hundreds, each as thick as a water vat and carrying 'blood lightning' that looked like fresh blood.

In that instant, those shadowy figures transformed into small wolf-shaped beasts, howling and their silver pupils between their brows flashed with spiritual light, forming chains that, like magic chains, enveloped the entire area.

And in that very instant.

With a deafening boom, the dazzling Milky Way, under the wave of Wei Tu's banner, crashed into the lightning array surrounding Lord Aoshan, as well as the silver magic net formed by strands of silver chains that resembled a giant net...

The two collided violently, and dazzling silver light, starlight, and lightning burst forth continuously at that moment.

Even with the lingering power, the expressions of the two spectators, Da Yuanfei and Da Yuanjing, changed slightly, and they retreated several hundred steps.

however.

Right now.

An unexpected scene unfolded for Lord Aoyama, Queen Daeyoshi, and Daeyoshi Kei.

Seeing the fierce battle between the magical treasures, Wei Tu didn't dodge or avoid it, but instead instantly moved forward again, seemingly willing to risk the danger and directly kill the Aoshan Lord who was protected by the lightning array.

"Another seventh-level body refinement? How dare he do this?"

Consort Dayuan looked surprised, unable to believe that Wei Tu would be so reckless. Rather than believe that he had other intentions and cunning schemes, she was more inclined to believe that Wei Tu had other intentions and cunning schemes.
as predicted.

The instant his physical body came into contact with the 'thunder array', the 'ancient demon's body' standing beside him suddenly leaped forward to help Wei Tu, forcefully withstanding the counterattack of the Mastiff Lord within the 'thunder array'...

At the same time, his physical body burst forth with spiritual light, and at this moment, an extremely strange 'spiritual shadow' was formed. The instant the 'spiritual shadow' appeared, its speed instantly increased by a level, so fast that it was unlike a cultivator at the Integration stage, leaving only afterimages in place.

"Sizzle!"
A crisp, sharp cry rang out from within the 'Thunder Array'. The once intact Aoshan Jun had been approached by Wei Tu, who had torn off one of its arms.

Instantly, Aoshanjun showed pain on his face and burst out of the 'thunder array' with a wail, constantly waving the silver short ruler in his hand, trying to stop Wei Tu.

At this moment, it seemed that in order to increase his strength, Lord Aoshan had also returned to his original form as a member of the Xiaotian clan and pressed the silver ruler forcefully against his brow.

In the next instant, a 'demon eye' that was both silver and blood-red emerged from between the eyebrows of the Mountain Lord. With a flick of its eyes, it immediately unleashed an unusually red arc of lightning, which struck towards Wei Tu.

However, it seemed that Lord Aoshan did not intend to use his 'demon eyes' to achieve anything. After using this method to block Wei Tu's information, he showed fear in his eyes, and with his three hooves treading on clouds, he suddenly crashed into the void in front of him. With a 'buzz', he escaped through the 'teleportation channel'.

At this moment, the Da Yuanfei siblings, who had witnessed everything, exchanged a glance and then, without the slightest hesitation, tore through the 'spatial barrier' and fled the battlefield, not daring to provoke Wei Tu in the slightest. (End of this chapter)
