Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 544 The Profound Technique Shocks the Universe, Sword Falls and Unity Proves the Dao (Seeking Rewards and Subscriptions!)

In the dimly lit, quiet room, the blood-red candles flickered, making the eerie runes on the walls appear to writhe as if they were alive.

A withered Taoist priest ran his fingertips across the bronze altar, dipped them into a vat of foul-smelling demonic blood, and used it to draw a twisted demonic array on the bluestone ground.

At the center of the altar, a skinned doll is suspended by an iron hook, with eerie green flames flickering in its empty eye sockets.

"Blood and bones as the guide, resentful spirits as the bridge...substitute!" The Taoist chanted a spell, and suddenly threw out seven bone nails from his sleeve, driving them into the seven orifices of the puppet.

In an instant, a chilling wind howled throughout the quiet room, and a large number of strange insects swarmed out of the altar, vying to tear at the skinned doll's body.

An extremely shrill wail came from the puppet's mouth, but at the same time, its withered body was rapidly expanding. As the flesh and blood writhed, it transformed into a form identical to the elder. Under the devouring of thousands of Yin worms, the life force and magical power of the person who cast this spell would increase several times over—or rather, the soul in the body would remain so until it was completely devoured by these Yin worms.

However, if combined with the demonic avatar technique of the demonic sect, then there are no flaws. An avatar millions of miles away can even reach 80-90% of the original's magical power at its limit.

This demonic cultivator from the Qiankun Holy Demon Sect, whom Lu Cheng called the "Broken Form and Hidden Form," is named Ling Fengzi. He is one of the elders of the Qiankun Holy Demon Sect and a cultivator in the Integration Stage. He is skilled in concealing his form, assassinating others, using witchcraft and demonic curses, cultivating inner demons, and creating external avatars.

This time, the Taiqing Sect devoted most of its resources to developing the Wilderness World, with almost all of its high-ranking cultivators going. The current leader of the Qiankun Holy Demon Sect noticed something amiss and sent this person to infiltrate the Taiqing Sect to gather intelligence.

The current leader of the Qiankun Holy Demon Sect is working diligently to govern the sect. In addition, it is relatively easier for the demonic path to recover its power than for the righteous path. Now, the remnants of the Qiankun Holy Demon Sect are showing signs of a resurgence.

However, this Lingfengzi had a penchant for manipulating people's hearts and cultivating inner demons. Although he successfully infiltrated the Taiqing Sect, he happened to encounter Lu Cheng discussing the Dao of the World.

Furthermore, Lu Cheng is also a contemporary Dao Child of the Human Race. If we can plant a demon in his heart, or even cause his death, it would be a great achievement. We wouldn't need to continue hiding and would have something to show for our return.

In Lingfengzi's eyes, Lu Cheng was a junior among the Taiqing Sect cultivators. Although he had potential, it had not yet been transformed into real skills.

Unexpectedly, this junior was so decisive. In order to avoid being controlled by his inner demons, he actually used the power of death to escape his fate and at the same time activated the sect's protective formation to entangle him.

In an instant, the stars shifted, the planes moved, the purple aura and the Milky Way appeared, and the universe was turned upside down.

The moment the tribulation clouds formed above Lu Cheng's head, the Taiqing Sect's protective mountain array, the "Purple Qi Sky-Patrolling Five Thunder Immortal Array," was activated in response.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Cheng and the demon opposite him were teleported into the array's world.

This was certainly not Lu Cheng activating the sect's formation to resist the heavenly tribulation.

Such practices are strictly prohibited in most sects because heavenly tribulations cannot be taken in someone else's place. Using the sect's protective formations to resist heavenly tribulations was once popular, as it ensured that even if a cultivator failed to overcome the tribulation, their life would be safe.

However, after further research, the cultivators discovered that heavenly tribulations could weaken the destiny of a sect.

When a cultivator passes through the Heavenly Tribulation normally, each realm brings its own fortune. Golden Core cultivators have their own realm fortune, Nascent Soul cultivators have their own realm fortune, and in addition, each person also has a certain amount of innate fortune, but this usually accounts for a small proportion of the fortune of most cultivators.

In other words, most people have relatively ordinary luck.

When a cultivator undergoes a tribulation, their luck is diminished during the process. After overcoming the tribulation, their luck will naturally increase back as their cultivation level rises, and may even increase significantly.

Using a sect's protective formation to help a cultivator overcome tribulation is tantamount to digging one's own grave, as the sect's protective formation cannot improve its own realm.

Unless under extremely special circumstances, no sect would act in this way.

Furthermore, if you attempt to overcome a tribulation using the sect's protective formation, that tribulation will not be considered successfully overcome. Instead, it will transform into countless other types of tribulations to torment you.
All kinds of tribulations, including those related to love, demons, and external forces, are ten times more ferocious than the heavenly tribulation of lightning!
The Nine Heavens Returning to Emptiness Tribulation above Lu Cheng's head did not subside; he merely used his sect's protective formation to encircle the Qiankun Saint Demon Sect cultivators in front of him.

"Are you courting death? Instead of facing the heavenly tribulation, why risk your life to make things difficult for me?"

"Don't think about Xuanzhenzi. Xuanqingzi and the others will help you. These people are gathered in the desolate world and I don't know what they are plotting. That's why I came to Taiqing Sect to investigate. Although you are the master of one of the peaks of Taiqing True Lineage and have some authority to control the mountain protection formation, the power you control is not enough to hold me back."

In a world where purple energy swirled, the Taoist priest with horns on his forehead, dark skin, and a demonic body in a Taoist robe spoke calmly, seemingly without any fear.

At the same time, a demonic light rose in his eyes as he stared into Lu Cheng's eyes.

"If you were truly fearless, you wouldn't have turned and retreated. Could it be that the elders of the Qiankun Holy Demon Sect have become vegetarians and Buddhists? If you could kill me, would you have spared me?"

Even if this physical body isn't your true form, it's still an avatar you've cultivated for many years. Slaying one of your avatars means your trip wasn't in vain!

If it weren't for cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Divine Art, which grants the ability to borrow life and die in place of others, he would have truly been provoked by the opponent's inner demons and died on the spot.

Therefore, Lu Cheng was now completely ruthless and merciless.

However, the cultivators of the Three Pure Ones Sect and the remnants of the Qiankun Holy Demon Sect had little room for maneuver.

"Hmph. Since you, little Taoist, are recklessly wasting your life, then I will kill you before I leave. After all, you are still a novice in the Void Returning Realm, and your cultivation is not yet stable. This is the perfect opportunity to kill you and seize your Dao."

What appeared to be a slow process was actually a dialogue between the two using their divine senses. In an instant, their true intentions were revealed, and the old demon's demonic energy suddenly erupted.

His body swelled rapidly, his muscles bulged, he grew curved horns on his forehead, and his skin was covered with dark purple scales. His tattered, gray Taoist robe was torn to shreds, revealing a strange demonic armor underneath that flowed with a viscous, dark blood-like sheen.

A vast demonic power, far beyond that of ordinary Void Returning cultivators and reaching the Integration Realm, surged into the sky, causing the purple light barrier of the mountain-protecting array triggered by Lu City to tremble violently.

"It's an elder from the Qiankun Holy Demon Sect who infiltrated, and he's actually at the Integration Realm?" Sensing that terrifying aura, countless cultivators within the Taiqing Sect turned pale and retreated in droves.

However, just as the raging demonic flames were about to erupt completely, Lu Cheng Daoist, standing in the center of the altar, suddenly moved.

He had already put his severed head back on his neck, and with his fingers like a sword, he pressed it down sharply.

"Nine Luminaries circulate through the heavens, Five Thunders patrol the world, forbid!"

Rumble, rumble.

The nine-layered pillar of purple light suddenly contracted and overlapped, and the boundless purple energy poured out like a celestial river, as if purple thunder had descended upon the world, bombarding the demonic sect elder under the guidance of Daoist Lu Cheng.

However, Lu Cheng was currently between the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm and the Returning to Emptiness Realm, undergoing the tribulation while fighting against a demonic cultivator in the Integration Realm.

No matter how talented he is or how skilled he is in combat, in this situation, there is no other option but death.

If this weren't the location of the Taiqing Sect's mountain gate, and if he were inside the mountain-protecting formation, Lu Cheng would have immediately fled as far away as possible, and might not have even been able to escape.

The torrent of magical power erupting from the Ninefold Purple Qi was like crashing into an unshakable barrier of the world, and was violently rebounded and suppressed. Even Lu Cheng's timely summoning of the Xuanhuang Merit Pagoda was also thrown into the sky by the backlash of magical power.

With just one strike, the Xuanhuang Merit Pagoda's spiritual light had already weakened somewhat.

"You think you can trap me with an array just by entering the Void Realm? How much of the power of this ninth-order immortal array can you unleash? You overestimate yourself. Watch my magic weapon break your immortal array."

The old demon roared, his eyes flashing with ferocity. He had no more hope of escaping and was determined to kill Lu Cheng Daoist first before retreating at his leisure.

In recent years, many of the cultivators of the Xuan generation of the Taiqing Sect, including many reclusive old fellows, have gone to the desolate world for some unknown reason.

That is why he had the courage and ability to sneak into the Taiqing Sect's mountain gate. Now, if he returns, he will greatly humiliate the Taiqing Sect.

If Lu Cheng hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have killed anyone. After all, this was the location of the Taiqing Mountain Sect, and with so many mid- to high-level cultivators working together to trap him under the Purple Qi Sky-Patrolling Five Thunder Immortal Formation, he would still have a hard time escaping his fate.

The old demon grabbed with his backhand, and something appeared in his palm.

That was no ordinary magical artifact, but an eyeball carved from white bone.

Its eyes were deathly white, yet two eerie green phosphorescent flames burned in its pupils, emanating an aura of extreme evil and a curse upon all spirits. This was the legendary and precious demonic treasure of the Holy Demonic Cult: the Myriad Spirits Cursed Soul Demon Eye.

"Destroy!"

As the incantation was activated and magical power was injected, a ghostly light flashed in the demonic eyes, and two solidified, pale green rays of light shot out silently, seemingly ignoring the space and the protective purple aura, and pierced straight into Lu Cheng's body.

Where the light passed, the void took on a deathly gray hue. This was a curse technique that directly targeted the origin of the primordial spirit, and one of the deadly methods that made this demon famous.

puff.

Without any earth-shattering explosion, Lu Cheng Daoist's body disintegrated, and even the Xuanhuang Merit Pagoda could not withstand the two ghastly green rays of light.

Because the Purple Qi Array was stretched open by the old demon's magic power, creating countless minute cracks, countless cultivators below probed into it with their divine senses and cried out in alarm.

However, the scattered points of light did not vanish. The next second, the countless points of light, like weary birds returning to their nests, instantly coalesced and reshaped at the other end of the altar.

Golden light flowed, and flesh and blood emerged. A Taoist priest from Lucheng, complete with a beard and tail, dressed in a Taoist robe and wearing a Taoist crown, appeared on the scene with an indifferent expression.

"Hmph. You actually mastered the Taoist immortality technique, but that's already two lives. I'd like to see how many times you can recreate them!" The elder of the demonic sect roared repeatedly, attacking without hesitation.

His figure suddenly became illusory, as if it split into thousands of superimposed images, each of which was casting different strange magic spells.

In an instant:
The Lotus of Impure Earth Blooms. The elder of the demonic sect flicked his finger, and a drop of demonic blood, as filthy as the essence of a quagmire, fell from his fingertip. The drop of blood grew rapidly in the wind, transforming into a putrid black lotus a hundred feet in size. Its petals opened, revealing a swirling vortex of foul energy within, generating a terrifying suction force that frantically devoured the surrounding immortal energy, the protective purple energy of the array, and even the golden light of Lu Cheng's Dharma body.

This is a vicious secret technique that defiles one's immortal roots and corrupts one's foundation.

The Demonic Shadow Heart-Piercing Strike. Countless twisted black shadows silently pierced out from the dark side of the void, carrying a sinister power that could pierce the primordial spirit and damage the mind, densely packed towards Lu Cheng's vital points. This was a stealthy assassination technique that concealed itself in the void and was impossible to defend against.

Time withers and flourishes, white hair appears in an instant. A strange hand seal suddenly formed above Lu Cheng's head, causing chaos in the laws of time. A strand of white hair instantly appeared at Lu Cheng's temple, as if forcibly dragging him into the time trap of aging and decay, a technique that affects lifespan.

Boom, boom, boom, pfft.

The purple aura of the mountain-protecting array that Lu Cheng could mobilize flickered violently, trying its best to eliminate all kinds of demonic power.

Lu Cheng's figure swayed precariously under the suction of the lotus vortex, his golden light constantly being eroded; black thorns pierced through his protective magic, leaving deep, bone-revealing holes in his torso; and a distinct gray, deathly aura spread along his white hair across half of his face.

boom.

With another muffled thud, Lu Cheng's body disintegrated once more.

But almost at the moment of collapse, the scattered spiritual light gathered and merged again, and once again reshaped the Dao body in the center of the altar.

At the same time, bolts of returning lightning struck down from the sky, injuring Lu Cheng and affecting the execution of the demonic arts by the opposing side.

'A fusion-level demonic cultivator, truly formidable. If we weren't inside the mountain gate, I would be in grave danger today.'

It might seem like only two out of twenty-four lives were lost, but that's not actually the case. During the first spell, the Demonic Eye Curse, Lu Cheng instantly lost five lives, and the three spells just now also cost him three more.

This is a suppression of a higher realm. If Lu Cheng had completely overcome the Tribulation of Returning to Emptiness, it would be better. But now he is half a step away from the ninth level of the Primordial Spirit realm.

However, Lu Cheng remained calm and composed, taking out eight porcelain bottles, opening them, and pouring out drops of true spirit blood.

'This tribulation of lightning and demonic energy will serve as a perfect opportunity to temper the fiery nature of these true spirit bloodlines.'

In normal cultivation, Lu Cheng would only dare to consume four streams of True Spirit Blood in the early stages of Returning to the Void, but at this moment, he consumed eight in one go. Some of the eight streams of True Spirit Fire flowed along with the cultivation of the Profound Heaven Divine Art, while others ran rampant throughout his body, almost showing signs of cultivation deviation.

However, Lu Cheng was not afraid. He had spent three thousand years cultivating and comprehending the Dao in the mortal realm. He had already extinguished the fire in the True Spirit Blood of the Twenty-Four Transformations of the Divine Transformation Realm. It could be said that he had laid a solid foundation in the Dao. Even if these eight True Spirit Blood rebelled, with his current foundation in the Dao, it would only be a matter of risking his life one by one. And this was the Taiqing Sect's mountain gate, so he did not need to really defeat his opponents.

"So this is all? Watch me burn your very essence with the Holy Fire." Because of the purple aura of the formation, the elder of the demonic sect did not know what the Taoist was doing. Seeing that the other party had almost no power to fight back, he grinned even more, put his hands together, and began to chant complicated and difficult demonic incantations.

His demonic armor shone brightly with blood-red light, and a pitch-black ancient seal, wreathed in undying malevolent flames and etched with the image of a pained face, appeared on his chest: the Nine Netherworld Prison Suppressing Flame Demon Seal. This seal was his natal demonic treasure, refined over ten thousand years by collecting the malevolent souls of the Nine Netherworlds and the fiery marrow of the Demon Realm.

"Nine Netherworld Flames, Furnace of Ten Thousand Souls. Burn."

The demonic seal suddenly expanded a hundredfold, like a hellish volcano suddenly collapsing!
A torrent of black and red flames erupted forth, the flames not scorching, but radiating a chilling, annihilating cold that could freeze the soul and incinerate everything!

Within the flames, countless twisted and tormented vengeful spirits howled and struggled, forming a gigantic furnace phantom that completely engulfed the newly reconstructed Lu Cheng and the space around him!
"Husband!"

"Master!"

Beyond the Purple Qi Realm, atop Qin Yue Peak, Miao Chuyun, the Netherworld Daoist, the Xiao Yuhong sisters, and other people from Lu City were filled with rage, their magical power surging, but they were firmly held down by the more powerful Nascent Soul cultivators of the Taiqing Sect surrounding them.
"Do not move! The sect masters will arrive in an instant. If we forcibly intervene in this level of combat at our current level, we will only distract the Divine Lord for nothing."

Deep within the Taiqing Sect, several powerful auras, even those at the Void Returning stage or higher, were also alarmed. They began to converge and rise, casting spells to unleash even more terrifying and magnificent array power that pressed down on Mount Taiyue.

The invisible pressure had already made even the elder of the demonic sect feel a pang of fear.

"What's going on? Why isn't this scruffy, Taoist-sounding brat dead yet?!?"

He had long wanted to turn around and escape, but the Taoist in front of him was relentlessly entangled with him. At the same time, the old demon also wanted to kill this talented Taiqing True Disciple and cut off a major future calamity. After his thoughts swirled in his mind, he was actually entangled until this moment.

Although it is only an avatar here, a demonic avatar at the Integration Realm is the result of his ten thousand years of arduous cultivation. He regards it almost as a second life, and it is even more precious than his natal magic weapon.

Rumble.

Just then, a huge gap opened up in the void above the purple array domain.

A colossal, ferocious warship, exuding a fierce and savage aura and engraved with intricate Daoist patterns—the Giant Spirit Flying Ship.

It crashed through the spatial barrier with a deafening roar and descended upon the battlefield.

This ship has been nurtured by Lu Cheng with countless resources within the Taiqing Sect for a thousand years, and has long surpassed ordinary magical treasures. The magical power contained within it is truly earth-shattering.

"The giant spirit returns to its place, and the five elements are born."

Using the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique, Lu Cheng suddenly transformed into a dazzling golden light soaring into the sky amidst the sea of ​​fire, crashing head-on into the core of the massive giant spirit flying ship.

Not only his own cultivation techniques and sect, but also this giant flying ship was one of Lu Cheng's sources of confidence.

boom.

An immense burst of magical power caused the void to tremble violently.

The colossal spaceship glowed with countless runes, unleashing a deafening roar. Its hull seemed to come alive, instantly twisting, deforming, and reforming. In the blink of an eye, a towering, awe-inspiring golden giant, thousands of feet tall, stood majestically between heaven and earth.

The giant's face was blurred, except for the dark golden flames burning in the area where his eyes were.

His entire body was covered in incredibly thick heavy armor with flowing runes, and his muscle texture was made of tough dragon bone and divine metal.

The immense and overwhelming pressure, far exceeding that of ordinary peak Void Returning cultivators, mixed with the pure Yang purple energy of the Taiqing Immortal Sect, crashed down like a celestial river bursting its banks.

Stars form its bones, metal its muscles, and Taoist magic its soul. This is the form Lu Cheng created by piloting the giant spirit flying ship and combining it with the mountain-protecting array—the Zhou Tian Giant Spirit Divine General.

So what if one has just entered the Void Returning stage? Combined with this supreme body, it is already enough to shake a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Another Tier 8 spaceship!?" The elder of the Demonic Sect was horrified, and for the first time, a look of genuine fear appeared in his eyes.

The Taiqing Sect's four ships: 'Heavenly Punishment', 'Earth Destruction', 'Demon Slaughter', and 'Demon Refining'! Legend has it that the 'Taiqing Demon-Slaying and Demon-Exterminating Divine Light,' which condenses more than three thousand restrictions on these eighth-tier flying ships, would be so powerful that even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have to avoid its edge if it were to unleash its full power.

"No, this is still a bit lacking."

At this moment, this elder of the Qiankun Holy Demon Sect understood why this Daoist Lu Cheng dared to fight him to this extent.

With the Taoist immortality that no one in the Immortal Realm has mastered for tens of thousands of years, and with this war weapon that is only half a step away from advancing to the eighth rank, he certainly won't die by his own hand today.

The next question is whether I will die at their hands!

"Roar."

The Zhou Tian Giant Spirit God let out a roar that shook the heavens and earth. Its huge metal hand was covered with the Shattering Void Rune, like the hand of a god, carrying the power to shatter stars. Ignoring spatial distance, it slammed down on the demon Taoist who was floating in mid-air!

"Damn it, break through!" The elder of the Demonic Sect's face twisted as he frantically channeled his demonic power. His demonic eyes, gleaming with ghostly light and fiery flames, unleashed a black and red death beam ten times thicker than before, meeting the massive, sky-covering metal hand head-on.

Where the light collided, space was annihilated layer by layer like thin paper, forming a brief void.

The light vanished, and a terrifying shockwave spread out, causing the nine layers of light barrier protecting the mountain to shake violently.

The ninth-tier immortal array, the Purple Qi Sky-Patrolling Five Thunder Immortal Array, was not actually activated. The Taiqing Sect was vast, and the spiritual energy required to fully activate such a massive immortal array was too terrifying. Lu Cheng could only mobilize the array power near his own Taiyue Peak.

However, at this very moment, array forces converged from all directions, indicating that the middle and high-level cultivators of the Taiqing Sect had arrived.

The Taiqing Sect covers a vast area, and when it was suddenly attacked, the reaction speed of the sect's cultivators was neither fast nor slow.

"Junior Brother Lu Cheng, we've come to help you!"

"The remnants of the Qiankun Holy Demon Sect dare to come to the location of the Taiqing Sect's mountain gate. Since they're here, they'll never leave!"

With these divine thoughts transmitted, one after another stream of purple energy rapidly gathered. Instead of immediately assisting Daoist Lu Cheng, it immediately reinforced the surrounding Purple Energy Sky-Patrolling Five Thunder Immortal Array. When the pure yang purple energy became sufficiently concentrated, faint thunderous energy gathered in the void.

Pure Yang Purple Qi is the pure Yang energy of the rising sun, pure and flawless, with gentle vitality. More importantly, it contains the ultimate principle of Yin giving rise to Yang.

It is used to control lightning magic and is extremely effective against ghosts and demonic cultivators.

This put immense psychological pressure on the elder of the Qiankun Holy Demon Sect; if he didn't leave now, he really wouldn't be able to leave.

"The myriad phenomena are boundless, the universe is hidden!"

Just as this elder of the Qiankun Holy Demon Sect, who was at the Integration Realm, was finally about to expend some of his essence and blood to escape, he used Blood Escape.

Lu Cheng Daoist, who had not made any decent counterattack until now, finally finished preparing his sword technique.

One of them was a pure, radiant light, piercing through all emptiness and chaos. It seemed to transcend the constraints of space, its very existence a manifestation of the law of "speed"—it was Lu Cheng's first natal flying sword, the Heavenly Escape Five Elements Killing Sword.

One was a viscous, churning dark rainbow, imbued with endless slaughter and death, resembling a surging sea of ​​blood. It seemed to bear the sins and blood of all living beings, defiling and ending everything—it was the Boundless Blood Sea Divine Sword, a supreme treasure forged over three thousand years in this immortal realm, which was an external avatar of the user.

Heavenly Escape is the master of killing. It is speed-oriented. Formless and shapeless, it strikes the enemy before they even think of it. Blood Sea is the master of slaughter. It is annihilation. Boundless filth, it destroys all life.

The two sword lights did not strike directly. They swirled and converged in the giant spirit's palm. The light of the crystal and the rainbow of dark blood blended together like water and milk, yet remained distinctly separate.

It wasn't until this elder of the Qiankun Holy Demon Sect, at the Integration Realm, used the Qiankun Escape Technique and transformed into a blood rainbow that the two sword lights finally unleashed their strike.

At the same time, a profound and enlightened sword intent, encompassing the birth and death of all things in the universe, was truly completed in that instant.

"what happened!?"

The elder of the demonic sect suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, like boiling oil being poured overboard, and an unprecedented, deathly coldness completely overwhelmed him.

The blood rainbow streaked through the sky at an unimaginable speed, yet Lu Cheng's external sword calculations had already determined the trajectory of its escape technique.

The next moment, an almost invisible sword light cut through the middle, swirling a blood rainbow, and forcefully slashed the Demonic Sect elder, who was at the Integration Realm, out of his Blood Escape state.

The Profound Sword, once unleashed, is sure to kill!

There was no earth-shattering sound, no radiance illuminating the heavens. Only a wisp of indescribable crimson thread, seemingly from eternity and heading towards the end of time, fell from the sky.

It appeared slow but was actually swift, ignoring all spatial distances. It pierced through the layers of protective demonic light, demonic armor, and demonic artifacts emanating from the demonic elder.

puff.

A very faint sound, like piercing a thin veil, rang out.

That wisp of transparent sword thread pierced through the elder of the demonic sect's brow, throat, heart... and the very core of his original demonic soul, extinguishing his life force in an instant.

This victory can be described as a very lucky one.

This demonic cultivator focused most of his attention on escaping the Purple Qi Sky-Patrolling Five Thunder Immortal Array and dodging the high-level cultivators from the Taiqing Sect who were on their way. If he were to spare even a tenth or a twentieth of his attention for Lu Cheng, Lu Cheng's current level of the Profound Sword Technique would not be able to kill him.

Ultimately, it was because the difference in their cultivation levels was too great. In addition, Lu Cheng Daoist was famous throughout the world for his immortality as a Taoist, so this demonic cultivator subconsciously ignored Lu Cheng's swordsmanship.

"I never imagined that I could use the life, blood, and soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator to sharpen your sword. Are you satisfied now?"

Recalling the Boundless Blood Sea Flying Sword, Lu Cheng gently stroked the blade and smiled. As for the tribulation clouds and lightning overhead, he simply swung the sword and dispersed them, advancing to the Void Returning Realm.
