My projections are all the roots of the Holy Spirit.

Chapter 439: Challenging the Temptation of the Ghost King
The thunder of heavenly calamity struck down, resounding through the sky like thunder, with flashes of lightning and roars of thunder.

Above the sky, dark clouds rolled, rumbling and shaking the earth. Between heaven and earth, the power of thunder and lightning continued to gather, forming lightning bolts that protected the land.

It was the first time that Xu Jun saw the thunder of heavenly tribulation in the demon world, but from here, it seemed to be no different from the thunder of heavenly tribulation in the Immortal Alliance.

The only difference was that no one knew what kind of unfathomable means Yu Hui used, which caused the thunder to appear to have fallen on him after it fell, but in fact the thunder instantly spread in all directions.

As a result, the desperate wails of the remaining demon creatures continued to be heard in this ruined city.

The sounds were so loud that even though Xu Jun had already moved far away from the range of the thunder, he could still vaguely hear some of them in the wind.

Some of the particularly loud sounds even had a strange power that was enough to shake people's hearts.

The thunderbolts from the sky fell one after another, and it took nine of them to stop.

Then, Xu Jun saw a miracle that made him unbelievable.

Among the nine heavenly thunders, the first eight were actually borne by the demonic creatures all over the city.

By the time the ninth thunderbolt fell, no creature in the demon world in the city was left alive. Yu Hui had no choice but to resist it with his own body.

Afterwards, Xu Jun saw a demon god coming into the world.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, which gathered rapidly. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a final flash of lightning split the sky, followed by a thunder that was more deafening than any previous thunder.

At this moment, Yuhui, the only living creature in the entire ruined city, also stood up.

Although Xu Jun was far away from him, the spiritual power flowing in his eyes was comparable to a Halley telescope. As long as he focused, he could even see a single hair on Yu Hui's face clearly.

Yuhui at this moment is completely different from the good friend that Xu Jun knows.

He held his head high and looked up at the sky.

Even when facing such a powerful natural calamity, he remained calm and showed no fear at all.

At this moment, Yu Hui was dressed in black, like a demon from the abyss, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes. In Xu Jun's memory, it was the first time he saw Yu Hui like this.

The thunder gradually subsided, and the lightning in the sky turned into silver snakes, like the wrath of gods, and coiled towards the afterglow.

Yu Hui sneered, pushed with both palms, and a black demonic energy shot out from his body, forming an indestructible protective magic shield.

Lightning struck the magic shield, and suddenly a dazzling burst of lightning occurred, as if thousands of lightning beads fell from the sky and exploded with a loud bang.

The power of thunder in the sky became more and more violent, and more lightning intertwined into a huge net, covering him.

Yu Hui sneered, his figure flashed, and he turned into a black shadow. He unexpectedly escaped from the gap in the lightning net and hid in a secret place in the city.

In the distance, Xu Jun was stunned.

He blinked a few times, with endless questions in his mind.

Can the thunder of heavenly calamity be avoided?
How come he doesn't know?
"boom……"

This huge thunder struck the ground hard, creating a dark deep pit in the square.

However, the power of thunder and lightning in the sky did not weaken at all, but continued to gather and fall down again.

Xu Jun frowned, he really didn't understand what Yu Hui was doing.

This was the last bolt of thunder. Xu Jun couldn't believe that Yu Hui couldn't even withstand one bolt of thunder.

You know, the eight heavenly thunders before were actually hidden from the Heavenly Dao of the Demon Realm by him using some unknown secret method, and thus were borne by those scattered creatures of the Demon Realm.

This made Xu Jun extremely envious.

If this method were to spread to the Immortal Alliance, then even a dog would be able to survive the so-called heavenly tribulation.

Thunder roared again in the sky, and the power of thunder gathered into a huge thunder dragon, radiating its mighty power and soaring into the sky.

This is a heavenly thunder that is even more powerful than the ninth heavenly thunder.

Suddenly, Yuhui, who had hidden in the darkness, reappeared. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He pointed with one hand, and countless evil spirits condensed into a black ray, heading straight for the Thunder Dragon.

Xu Jun's eyelids twitched as he watched, and he suddenly had a feeling.

Could it be that Yu Hui was deliberately provoking the way of heaven and wanted to fight against the stronger thunder, so he made such an unreasonable decision?
In an instant, the demonic energy and the thunder dragon collided in the air, causing an earth-shaking roar.

The duel between Tianlei and Yuhui is like a contest between gods and demons. The scene is spectacular but also full of danger.

The collision of energy between the two caused the air around them to twist and tremble, dust flew, trees broke, houses collapsed, and the earth seemed to be shaking.

It is unknown how long the confrontation between the evil spirit and the thunder and lightning lasted, and both suffered great exhaustion.

Seeing that the power of the thunder dragon was gradually weakening, if it continued, this last bolt of thunder would disappear into thin air.

However, at this moment, Yuhui, who was fighting against the Thunder Dragon, suddenly flashed and turned into a black shadow, once again avoiding the Thunder Dragon's fatal blow.

Xu Jun looked a little torn.

He was sure that this guy did it on purpose.

When facing the thunder of heavenly tribulation, even if you use more powerful force to defeat and disperse the thunder, the heaven will not be angry.

Because, this is what the monks did with their own strength.

However, if you repeatedly take advantage of the situation and escape from the hands of the thunder...

When two countries are at war, if one side defeats the enemy on the battlefield with its superior strength, it will win the respect of the other side.

However, a thief escaped from the officers' noses time and time again, and even stole the officers' money.

The former will make the enemy country cautious, and no matter whether it is fighting or making peace next, they are already on the same level.

As for the latter, it is guaranteed to anger all the officials and mobilize all their forces to bring the thief to justice.

Yuhui now is like a thief under the heaven, constantly challenging the heaven in a suicidal way.

Therefore, the Heavenly Dao was very considerate and condensed a more powerful thunder, which struck down on his head.

"boom……"

This was a far more powerful thunder than the previous ones, and the range covered by this thunder had expanded to an incredible extent, even covering the entire city.

Xu Jun knew at a glance that this was Heaven's way expanding the scope of the attack, leaving Yu Hui no room or possibility to escape.

In the blink of an eye, a huge thunderbolt fell from the sky, and the city, which was already close to ruins, finally became a real ruin.

Smoke and dust billowed, and the flying dust obscured the sky.

The ruined buildings collapsed, the ground cracked, and then flames suddenly rose up.

In the distance, the once tall buildings were blown into piles of scrap metal, car-shaped industrial products were blown into pieces, and the roads were littered with ruins.

The air was filled with smoke and the smell of decay, making people feel suffocated.

This city, under the continuous bombardment of thunder and lightning, no longer exists, as if it were to be wiped off the land.

I don’t know how long it took, but the thunder finally began to subside and gradually disappeared.

The afterglow of a demon god was slowly floating up in the ruins.

Cracks appeared on the magic shield that protected him, which showed how powerful the thunder had just been.

That is the mysterious guy Yu Hui. If it were a third-level magic cultivator who had just advanced to the next level and was hit by such thunder power, his life would be in danger.

Finally, all the dark clouds in the sky dissipated and peace returned.

However, the city on the ground, which originally had some traces of its existence, has completely disappeared.

There was an indescribable light flashing in Yuhui's eyes, but it gradually calmed down.

His figure was looming in the night. Suddenly, he turned around and came in front of Xu Jun in a few jumps.

Xu Jun opened his mouth, wanting to ask what the connection was between this city and him. However, he swallowed the words back.

Your own projection world is a secret, a secret that no one can tell.

Xu Jun believed that Yu Hui and the others must be very curious about why he was able to advance so quickly.

However, no one asked him the truth, and even Master Huang Kan pretended to be ignorant.

So, what qualifications do I have to ask Yu Hui about her secret?
If he wants to say it, he will definitely tell me, but if he doesn't want to say it, then asking him would only make things difficult for his friend.

It’s better to do less of this kind of thing.

Turning his eyes, looking up and down at Yu Hui, Xu Jun asked, "Is it done?"

"It's done." Yu Hui nodded slightly. Xu Jun said with a tut-tut sound, "Not bad, not bad, your Dan formation really opened my eyes."

Indeed, whether it was his ability to let the creatures from the demon world in the city block the disaster for him when the thunder initially fell, or his final act of deliberately provoking the way of heaven, causing the thunder to fall and cleanse the entire ruined city, it was all really daunting and intimidating.

Yu Hui grinned and said, "No big deal, you can withstand this little bit of thunder." After that, he shook his head and said, "Let's go."

"Hmm? Where to?"

"Go back to the Immortal Alliance." Yu Hui laughed and said, "I still have Taoist skills to form a pill."

Xu Jun's heart was slightly moved, and he asked: "You...are going to suffer another heavenly tribulation?"

“Yes.” Seeing Xu Jun’s strange expression, Yu Hui explained, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble this time.”

Xu Jun rolled his eyes at him. So, you also know that this time of tribulation will be a mess.

With a thought in his mind, Xu Jun said, "Old Fish, when I was protecting you this time, two monsters came."

Yu Hui raised his eyebrows and sneered, "A monster really dares to come. Did you kill it? Give me the corpse. It will be useful."

Xu Jun waved his hand and threw the corpse of the snake monster out.

Yuhui pointed his finger and immediately put the thing away.

Xu Jun's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't even realize what method Yu Hui used.

Is this space equipment?
It doesn’t quite look like it!

Instead, it is somewhat similar to the Nascent Soul barrier used by True Lord Huang Kan and True Lord Sha Zuo.

But, how could a demon cultivator who had just formed a Dan form possibly possess a Nascent Soul barrier?
Xu Jun looked at Yu Hui suspiciously. If it were him, then no matter what kind of strange things happened, it seemed understandable.

Yu Hui stretched out her hand again and asked in surprise, "What about the other one?"

Xu Jun spread his hands and said, "It's gone."

"Gone?"

"Yes."

Xu Jun recounted the second monster he encountered. When he mentioned that the monster suddenly exploded and disappeared without a trace, Yu Hui's face unexpectedly became solemn.

He snorted coldly and said, "I never thought that there would be a ghost clone hidden in this small planet in the demon world."

Ghostly clone?

Xu Jun suddenly raised his head and thought carefully about his fight with the monster. He frowned and said, "Lao Yu, that guy was quite strong. It took a long time for him to be defeated. Is it... a ghost clone?"

Xu Jun had read many books and notes in the Natural Dao Palace, so he certainly knew what a ghost clone was.

In this world, if a normal cultivator wants to cultivate a clone, he must first be promoted to the fifth level.

Only when one reaches the fifth level of Divine Transformation can one possess a true clone.

However, God will leave some leeway for the monks below.

Some races are born with the ability to clone themselves when they reach the fourth level.

For example, the ghost royal family.

Ordinary ghosts naturally have no special privileges.

However, the Ghostly Royal Family has a characteristic that allows them to split a quarter of their spiritual consciousness at the fourth level without going crazy.

This split spiritual consciousness can be transformed into its own clone through various means.

Of course, if any ghost royal family did this, it would mean that it had given up the path to advancement to the fifth level and chose to pursue the ultimate force value of the fourth level.

There is always a loss if you gain something, there is nothing you can do about it.

Of course, the strength of the clones split out in this way cannot be compared with their original bodies. The peak of the third level is their limit.

But as far as Xu Jun knows, although the ghost clones can have countless forms, the practice methods of the ghost clan are very different from those of humans. Their clones can never have a fighting level that is almost equivalent to their own sword realm.

As if seeing the doubt in Xu Jun's heart, Yu Hui said leisurely: "The ghost clone cannot be trained by itself, but if it takes over a ghost, it can have most of the opponent's combat power." He stretched out his hand, pointed at the real ruins, and said: "The former guardian of this city was once a top swordsman. Although he is not as good as you, he is not much worse."

Xu Jun's eyelids twitched. This was the first time he knew this knowledge.

Yu Hui turned around, glanced behind him, and said slowly: "Old Xu, are you interested in setting up a game?"

Xu Jun was stunned. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little excited.

"What game?"

"You killed the ghost's clone, it will definitely not let you go. If I'm not mistaken, it should be on its way here."

Xu Jun's eyes flickered: "You want to set up a trap to deal with a fourth-level ghost king?"

"Yes, but not now."

"When?"

"Let's go back to the Immortal Alliance first and find a small planet. When my Taoist skills are ready, we can come back again."

Xu Jun's heart was beating fast, and even his breathing became faster.

If it were an ordinary Jindan cultivator, it would be absolutely wishful thinking to expect them to set up a plan to deal with a fourth-level Yuanying.

But Xu Jun and Yu Hui are not ordinary Jindan. Their respective trump cards and methods can be described as unfathomable.

In fact, even if Yu Hui was not around, Xu Jun had planned to find a Yuanying Zhenjun to challenge.

Of course, without the afterglow, he still has three projections.

It’s hard to say whether we can win, but at least we have the courage to face it head-on.

However, if the three projections were replaced with afterglow...

Xu Jun thought that this was a better approach. If he really couldn't win, he could just call out the projections.

“Hey, can you please say something?” Yu Hui urged.

Xu Jun took a deep breath and said, "Old Fish, how sure are you?"

Yu Hui thought for a moment and said, "Among the fourth-level ghost kings, they are good at illusion and charm. Once they release their charm, even Yuanying Zhenjun will retreat. However, you and I should be the ones who can restrain them the most."

Xu Jun immediately understood that he could no longer hide his sword intentions from him.

"Okay, let's go quickly and come back quickly." Xu Jun rubbed his hands together a few times and said, "If it really doesn't work, then we can just run away if we can't win."

"Okay, this place has just been baptized by thunder. No demon creatures will come near within three months." Yu Hui said slowly: "Three months is enough for Dan to form a pill."

Looking at Yuhui's confident promise, Xu Jun didn't know what he felt at this moment.

Can you guarantee that you will form the elixir in three months?
This confidence...even the sword masters Xu Jun, Xu Yi and Xu Fei did not dare to make such a big statement in the past.

However, after hearing Yu Hui say this, Xu Jun didn't have the slightest doubt.

Yu Hui reached out, took out some wooden plate-like things and threw them out.

Xu Jun looked at him strangely and asked, "What are you doing?"

"These are puppets I made in my spare time." Yu Hui said casually, "Two months later, most of the thunder aura here will disappear. I have set up the program, and they will be activated at that time to set up a large net formation on this ruin. Haha, it would be fine if the Ghost King doesn't come, but once he comes and we encounter him, I guarantee that he won't be able to escape even if he wants to."

Xu Jun was dumbfounded, looking at these inconspicuous discs, he really couldn't associate these things with puppets.

Moreover, it is the kind of puppet that can be deployed to trap even a fourth-level Ghost King!
What level of puppet is this?

Xu Jun turned his head and said, "Old Fish."

"what?"

"Where did you get these puppets?"

"I made it." Yu Hui said in confusion.

"But, when did you learn puppetry?"

Yu Hui turned around with a look of doubt on her face: "Does puppetry need to be learned specifically? Can't we just take a look and practice it if we have the hands?"

Xu Jun:......

I regret it so much, he tricked me again!
