Infiltrating the righteous path? Just another place to be a sycophant.

"What about the old demon of Yinshan?"

"Here it is."

Lu An pointed to Shi Dake lying on the ground.

Let's just find someone to take the blame first.

"Do you take me for a fool? This is just a lowly Karami in the Nascent Soul stage!"

"But he is the Yinshan Demon."

"Nonsense! The Yinshan Demon could fight you to a standstill and even successfully ambush you with poison powder. How could he be just a mere Void Refinement stage guy!?"

Lu An began his manipulative tactics: "Anything is possible! So you're a demon, that's all. Your understanding is limited!"

Ao Lei, unconvinced, asked, "How can you prove he is the Yinshan Demon?!"

Lu An retorted, "How can you prove he's not the Yinshan Demon?!"

Ao Lei was speechless for a moment.

"Your Majesty, do not argue with human cultivators. All the demon saints and demon ancestors of the past have said that it is fine to argue about anything, but never argue with humans!"

The turtle steward earnestly advised from the side.

Snapped!

boom!

Ao Lei swung his palm, and the turtle steward flew out like a cannonball, the entire turtle sticking directly to the wall, perfectly embedded in the mural carving of a turtle shell, a truly perfect fit.

"You're so long-winded, just like a woman. I'll castrate you when we get back!"

Ao Lei took a step forward, instantly unleashing a powerful dragon's might that clashed with the sword aura emanating from Lu An.

She decided to let her abilities speak for themselves!

Whoever he is, he definitely hasn't reached the eighth level of the Tribulation Transcendence!

Moreover, the demon race is inherently stronger than the human race. In a one-on-one situation with equal cultivation levels, the demon race would absolutely dominate the human race.

Of course, this is all on the premise that the human race doesn't have those fancy but useless magical artifacts!

Magical artifacts are the difference between humans and demons. Humans' strength comes from their cultivation and magical artifacts, while demons' strength comes from their own savage demonic power.

"It's you!?"

Feeling the terrifying dragon's might, Lu An suddenly remembered who the little girl in front of him was.

She should be called a little vixen.

This feeling was something he would never forget.

The Ancient Thunder Dragon we encountered in Ping'an City! The one that suddenly appeared and wiped out Li Nayue and a group of Heavenly Demon Sect disciples who were chasing him!

How could I run into her here? What a coincidence!

Ruined.

However, this little girl is quite cute. Combined with my previous impression of her, she really does have the look of a spoiled girl next door.

Pshaw, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about whether she's cute or not?

Ao Lei issued a low, angry warning: "Humans, get out of my way, don't interfere with my tribulation!"

"No, I'm sorry."

Lu An tried his best to calm his heart, which was pounding wildly with fear, and forced himself to speak.

Suppressing an ancient thunder dragon at the eighth level of tribulation is no easy task.

Moreover, this place is so narrow that if a fight really breaks out, even if we add two more spirit stones to the Azure Sword, bringing it to the level of eighteen Heavenly Dao Spirit Stones, it probably still wouldn't be able to escape.

I'm doomed! Someone please save me! Someone please save me!

Lu An screamed inwardly, but he knew no one would come to save him.

If we don't hold on this time, we might actually lose.

"You won't let me pass? You're blocking my path! I won't hold back!"

Ao Lei unleashed his full power, and blue lightning arcs began to light up his body, accompanied by crackling sounds.

"Then... you might as well give it a try...!"

Lu An, showing no sign of weakness, unleashed his full aura, activating the Supreme Yuan Gong to its fullest extent. Long sword phantoms appeared behind him, and the Eternal Sword Intent, like a surging river, instantly swept towards Ao Lei.

Click! Click! Click!

Under the overwhelming pressure of the two, cracks began to appear in the walls of the secret chamber, while a dense, dark mass of clouds began to gather in the sky outside the chamber.

Bright lightning flashed continuously within the tribulation clouds, as if countless heavenly soldiers were beating drums within the dark clouds, the sound deafening and piercing straight to the heart.

"The creatures inside are already fighting over the treasure, Grandma, let's hurry up and go in!"

"No rush, let's observe further. We must be cautious!"

"What's there to be cautious about?! Everyone at the entrance has been beaten down by that demonic dragon?!"

"No rush. Perhaps the human race has a backup plan. Besides, that ancient thunder dragon is not to be trifled with. We should wait and see."

"Grandma! We can't wait any longer!"

"Better safe than sorry. If you're in a hurry, you can go first!"

As soon as Tu Shanlu said this, everyone else fell silent.

If Grandma doesn't come, what's the point of these little demons coming?

Isn't this nonsense?

"Grandma...when did you become so timid...no, so cautious?"

The little fox demon next to him wanted to curse, but didn't dare.

"What do you know?! There are righteous alliances, demonic cultivators, and demonic dragons here. This trip is bound to be difficult! It's not that simple. We can't lose our lives for the sake of transcending tribulation!"

"Look at you young foxes, you're so impatient!"

Tu Shanlu looked cautious, not at all feeling that she was missing an opportunity.

Last time in Ping An City, I was too impulsive, which caused me to lose a place to absorb essence. So this time, I can't be reckless!

"Grandma, are those calamity clouds?"

A little fox spirit noticed something was wrong and quickly asked.

Grandma looked up and nodded, saying, "That's right, it's tribulation clouds, and tribulation clouds around the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. I knew these guys weren't so simple!"

"Grandma, could we take advantage of her tribulation and launch a surprise attack?"

"No rush, let's take another look. Look at you, in such a hurry! Better safe than sorry!"

Chapter 164 On the Issue of Moral Bottom Line

"Who the hell told me that this was just security work and there was no danger?"

"Luckily we ran fast and knew how to play dead, otherwise we would have been done for!"

"This is terrifying! No one could stop her!"

The group huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.

They had just witnessed a little girl single-handedly defeat a group of cultivators. If they hadn't suddenly decided to slack off, they would have been completely finished.

The righteous alliance cultivators were easily defeated, and the little girl, who appeared to be an extremely powerful cultivator with a well-developed physical body, sent a group of people flying.

It's too scary.

He managed to save his life by catching fish.

Thank you for the blessing of the Fish-Touching Immortal.

Inside the secret chamber, an immense pressure permeated every corner, making it feel unbearable for the body.

"Could it really be the stone from Nuwa's patching of the sky?"

Li Podao thought about this situation in his mind, but then put the thought out of his mind.

Whatever the reason, the shackles within her body are now being broken, shackles that have remained unshaken for millennia.

Am I about to break through? This was the thought that filled Li Podao's mind.

Before arriving at the Shi family, she learned that there was a secret treasure in the Shi family's underground chamber, suspected to be the Nuwa's Sky-Mending Stone, which would be activated.

As for why someone would know it could be activated, that remains unknown.

However, there are many talented and extraordinary people in the world, and many who are good at divination. Occasionally, one might indeed encounter a lucky break.

Through his own network of contacts, and by asking someone to consult the Heavenly Evolution Holy Sect, Li Podao decided to take a gamble!

Surprisingly, the gamble paid off!

With the power of this stone, I can break through the shackles of my cultivation and reach the next level!

Soon, Li Podao felt his body being filled.

Her consciousness also entered the divine consciousness space.

It contains the sun, moon, and stars, and countless small worlds; it is her inner world.

However, the world has been silent for a long time, and some parts of it have begun to decay.

If she doesn't break through, her lifespan will come to an end once her entire inner world decays.

If one cannot break through the tribulation stage and ascend to immortality, the ultimate outcome will be a natural death.

But at this moment, this inner world was enveloped in golden light, and some previously lifeless little worlds were now teeming with life.

However, a powerful pressure abruptly pulled her back from her spiritual space.

Then Rihado opened his eyes, feeling extremely dissatisfied.

Which blind fool is disturbing my cultivation advancement?

However, Li Podao soon realized that something was wrong.

This is the might of a dragon! A demonic dragon has entered!?

How could such a being appear here?!

But she couldn't see anything inside the beam of light.

Moreover, she also felt a sense of familiarity.

She has been locked onto by the power of Heaven, which is a sign that she is about to undergo tribulation!

Opportunity is always accompanied by misfortune.

Outside the pillar of light, Lu An and Ao Lei remained locked in a standoff, neither willing to yield, but neither making a move.

"This guy is strong. We need to wait for him to make the first move and find his weakness!"

This is Ao Lei's idea.

"This guy is strong. Let's intimidate her first and not let her see through us."

This was Lu An's idea.

The human and the demon faced off like this, neither of them moving an inch.

However, the energy of the light pillar was getting weaker and weaker, and Ao Lei was getting more and more anxious.

She didn't come here to play "Red Light, Green Light" with this guy! She came to seek an opportunity to transcend her tribulation!

But she wasn't sure.

The sword intent of the person before her might have already locked onto her seven souls and six spirits; if he were to seize an opportunity, she might be struck down directly…

Both body and soul were damaged.

Of course, if he fights desperately, he won't have an easy time either.

But there's no need for that, because spiritual practice is not easy.

It's not like we have a life-or-death feud, why risk our lives for nothing? It's not worth it.
