In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 436 The Boundless Calamity Venerable Appears! (3K views, please subscribe!)

"Hehe, thanks to Senior Xinghe for the planet."

An Xingran looked at the enemy's attack, which had been smashed beyond recognition by the planet, and nodded in satisfaction.

The blonde girl, Gui Yuan, was somewhat stunned.

She suddenly realized that the two juniors she had saved seemed to have a very large power behind them, at least more than one Nascent Soul cultivator.

If that's the case, it might not be long before the Holy Law Council is overthrown, or perhaps it's already happening now.

what is this?
The hero was just about to gather a group of like-minded companions to defeat the Demon King when the Demon King's castle was swept away by a huge east wind.
It's not that it's impossible, it's just... there's a lack of participation.

Just then, An Xingran continued speaking:

"Now, let's welcome our next big spender!"

"What, there's a next one?"

The blonde girl was completely flustered.

As An Xingran finished speaking, a giant sword, several times larger than a star and seemingly capable of easily cleaving a great world, slowly emerged from the golden array.

This giant sword is made entirely of silvery-white light, without any sense of antiquity, but rather has a sci-fi aesthetic.

It's like... a lightsaber from a certain ball game.

After the lightsaber fully emerged from the great formation, it immediately aimed its blade at the four Nascent Soul cultivators and swept across them, completely enveloping the location of the four Nascent Soul cultivators of the Holy Law Governing Council, giving them no room to dodge.

With a single sweep of the sword, all four Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords sustained injuries of varying degrees.

The Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation has entered the River of Oblivion and begun the countdown to resurrection.

Both the Eternal Heavenly Lord and the Corruption Heavenly Lord had large portions of their bodies evaporated by the light sword, but they are now rapidly recovering.

Of all the people present, only the Holy Law Heavenly Lord was somewhat better off. She seemed to have used the power of the law to protect herself from the lightsaber, but her bright silver armor was still corroded and turned into a battle-damaged version.

"My armor..."

The blonde girl, Gui Yuan, looked at the tattered silver armor, a hint of heartache appearing on her pretty face.

You can tell from her appearance that her body double stole all her belongings, and she is currently very poor.

Imagine how complicated her feelings must have been, watching her beloved armor crumble before her eyes in poverty.

Su Yuan was surprised by the power of this sword strike.

Among the Ten Heavenly Lords, the one most skilled in swordsmanship, the Nascent Soul cultivator, is undoubtedly the founder of the Evil-Slaying University and the Evil-Slaying Sword Master.

As a new generation Nascent Soul cultivator, he was able to injure four veteran Nascent Soul cultivators with a single sword strike from such a distance. His combat power is quite formidable.

The same was true of the Star River Dao Master just now. He suppressed the attacks of three Nascent Soul cultivators all by himself. In terms of combat power, he could probably handle two opponents while not three.

So the question is, are the Shadows too weak, or are the new generation of Divine Transformation cultivators too strong?

The Holy Law Heavenly Lord gazed at the gradually disappearing sword of light and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that a cultivation civilization has long coveted the Holy Law Governing Council. However, the Heavenly Law World is a fertile land that I have painstakingly created, and I will never allow you extraterrestrial demons to take it away!"

Su Yuan: "Hey, hey, don't make us sound like villains, okay?"

These Shadows of the Abyss are truly hypocritical, saying one thing and doing another. They really deserve to be called traitors within the cultivation world.

Hopefully, the Ten Heavenly Kings can wipe out the Holy Law Council in one fell swoop, so that I can complete the task of eliminating the traitor without lifting a finger.

As soon as the lightsaber dissipated, new activity emerged from within the golden array.

Four figures slowly descended from the formation.

When Su Yuan first saw the figures appear, he thought it was one of his own leaders personally taking action. However, after seeing the faces of the four figures clearly, he was surprised.

Because these four people looked exactly like the four Nascent Soul cultivators of the enemy, like their shadows.

This made Su Yuan subconsciously think of the Shadow of the Abyss, and he became a little nervous for a moment.

Not only Su Yuan, but even the naive blonde girl Gui Yuan showed a wary expression.

An Xingran explained in a timely manner:
"This is Senior Taixu's method. He used illusion to create a projection that is so realistic that it can completely hold back the real projections for a period of time."

Su Yuan and Gui Yuan were finally relieved.

But no matter what, the way this ability is manifested is very similar to the Shadow of the Abyss.

Could it be that the Lord of Illusion has been replaced by the Lord of Limitless Calamity?

A thought suddenly popped into Su Yuan's mind, and he couldn't help but feel a bit wary.

Fortunately, the friendly deities did not descend in their true forms, so even if one or two of them encountered problems, it would not affect the other allies.

Su Yuan cautiously stared at the four projections, and only after confirming that they had indeed rushed up to fight the main body and had not betrayed him did he slightly lower his guard.

Taking advantage of the moment when Holy Law Heavenly Lord and the others were busy, Su Yuan quickly asked An Xingran:

"Junior Sister An, with the support of the Heavenly Lords, can we directly crush the entire Holy Law Council and kill all these substitutes?"

Upon hearing Su Yuan's question, An Xingran shook her head without hesitation:
“They can’t be killed. Even if these enemies are all decoys, they know the principle of running away when they can’t win.” “Moreover, every Nascent Soul cultivator has extremely strong vitality, as can be seen from the fact that Holy Law Heavenly Lord has survived to this day despite being hunted down by his own decoys.”

"If all ten Heavenly Lords were present, there might be a certain probability of them being captured, but as you know, given our current situation, we cannot allow the ten Heavenly Lords to gather together."

Su Yuan nodded with some regret.

He wasn't surprised by An Xingran's answer.

Put yourself in his shoes. If a Golden Core cultivator can possess near-immortality, how could a Nascent Soul cultivator be inferior to him?
Take the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord for example. Since his face was torn off, this guy has died twice, but he's still alive and kicking.

So just beat up the enemy and have some fun, don't think about achieving victory in one fell swoop.

"Senior Xuan Yi's teleportation technique is almost ready. He will teleport us directly back to the Heavenly Law World. Senior Su, and Senior Sheng Lu's main body, please be prepared."

An Xingran reminded her.

Su Yuan snapped out of his daze and asked with concern:
"Directly teleport back to the Celestial Law World? Won't the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Holy Law Governing Council chase after us and cause widespread destruction in the Celestial Law World?"

An Xingran replied:

“That’s easy. After returning to the Celestial Law World, I will ask Senior Xuan Yi to teleport this world and all its subordinate worlds away as soon as possible, so as to completely sever the connection with the Holy Law Governing Council.”

"Now is not the time to wage a full-scale war with the enemy; development is the top priority."

Su Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Teleporting a whole series of worlds? Is that even possible?"

Judging from An Xingran's tone, doing this kind of thing seemed about the same as moving a few cases of mineral water.

"Of course, Senior Su, don't underestimate the strength of those at the Nascent Soul stage."

An Xingran proudly puffed out her not-so-wealthy chest.

Just as the two were talking, a sudden change occurred on the battlefield, attracting their and Guiyuan's attention.

On the battlefield, the Heavenly Lord of Corruption, who had been locked in a fierce battle with his own projection, suddenly showed an impatient expression.

He casually stretched out his hand and swept it towards the four projections.

The next instant, the four projections vanished as if erased by an eraser.

At the same time, the face and body of the Corruption Lord rapidly changed, transforming into a faceless man with no facial features and a completely black body.

The moment the Faceless Man appeared, the bodies of the Holy Law Heavenly Lord, the Eternal Heavenly Lord, and the Samsara Heavenly Lord all trembled, freezing in place like robots whose power cords had been cut.

Not only the enemy's Nascent Soul stage cultivators, but also Su Yuan and his two companions felt an unprecedented pressure.

They were like insects trapped in amber, finding it incredibly difficult even to move their eyes.

“Blue Star…I once cast my gaze toward that place.”

The faceless man spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and devoid of any emotion.

The language spoken by the faceless man was neither the Spirit Script that Su Yuan was familiar with, nor the language of the Heavenly Law World or the Blue Star Federation.

Rather, it is a strange and mysterious language that is projected directly into the mind of the target and appears in a form that the target can understand.

The Venerable One of Immeasurable Kalpas.

This faceless man is none other than the Immeasurable Lord!
Upon sensing this aura that even Nascent Soul cultivators trembled with fear, Su Yuan, An Xingran, and Gui Yuan immediately recognized the other party's identity.

He hid in the Holy Law Council under the identity of the Corruption-Transforming Heavenly Lord!
Seeing the three of them looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy, the Faceless Man said calmly:
"Don't be nervous, what you see now is just an avatar of mine."

"If I were to arrive in my true form, this Golden Core stage brat would explode the moment he saw me."

"If you can muster your courage and remain unaffected by my aura, you will discover that this clone of mine only possesses the cultivation of a mere peak Nascent Soul cultivator."

A peak Nascent Soul cultivation level... that's not insignificant at all.

The final boss's oppressive aura was terrifying!
Su Yuan thought to himself, admiring himself for being able to come up with a sarcastic remark even in this situation.

So they should have given me a system where I could get stronger just by complaining. This old system is still not overpowered enough.

The Faceless Man continued:

"When the seed was planted on Blue Star, it was just a newly enlightened cultivation civilization. I never imagined that in just over three hundred years, ten outstanding Nascent Soul cultivators would emerge."

"Such an achievement is rare even in the entire history of cultivation I have ever witnessed."

"It won't be long before I unleash another catastrophe upon the heavens."

"I wonder if you are willing to surrender? As long as you are willing to submit to me, you can safely pass through the upcoming catastrophe."

The Great Calamity of Heaven? Is this the official name for the Immortal Tribulation?
Su Yuan memorized the name, hoping to draw this ability next time he was asked to draw the Boundless Calamity Venerable's ability.

"Immeasurable Lord, do you think I'll still believe your nonsense?"

Gui Yuan, having broken free from the influence of the Boundless Calamity Venerable's aura to a certain extent, spoke coldly:
"You say you can live peacefully if we surrender, but what about those Nascent Soul cultivators who have been replaced by the Shadow of the Abyss?"

"All of this is just a strategy you use to gradually devour Nascent Soul cultivators. As long as I am alive, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the new era will not be deceived by you!"
