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

Sure enough, this guy came prepared.

They started with magic stones, and then they tried to eat them.

This giant dragon is clearly looking for trouble. How can something like a magic stone be given away so easily?

Then, countless figures materialized around Li Nayue, and in an instant, countless figures appeared in front of Gu Leilong.

"Your Excellency, if you want to talk, then let's talk properly. If you don't want to talk, then we're not to be trifled with!"

"Hahahaha, I see you don't even have a fifth-level Tribulation Transcending cultivator, yet you dare to dream of defeating me?" Gu Leilong laughed loudly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

Lu An could only agree; there wasn't even a fifth-level Tribulation Transcender here, and a sliding tackle shouldn't be this slippery.

With so many small fish and shrimp, it probably won't even die from overeating.

This is it, it's all over. The Heavenly Demon Sect has been wiped out, and it's only a matter of time before I'm next.

"My Heavenly Demon Sect is the number one sect in the demonic path. Don't think we're afraid of you!" Li Nayue sneered, then conjured a red sword in her hand: "Disciples, with me as the center of the formation, form the Heavenly Demon Annihilation Formation!"

Lu An was a little taken aback. Did their Heavenly Demon Sect even have this kind of formation?

Was this a temporary formation, or were they all secretly practicing it behind his back?

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began piling up layers upon layers, making it appear to Lu An as a giant spinning top composed of people.

Those with lower cultivation levels were below, while those with higher cultivation levels were above. They were connected like electrical wires, providing power to Li Nayue, who was the core of the formation.

Multicolored beams of light connected everyone together, eventually converging on Li Nayue.

However, Lu An also found it strange that the giant dragon was watching them form an array.

Is this what they mean by the spellcasting animation not being interrupted?

A huge eight-armed phantom appeared behind Li Nayue. The phantom's eight arms held different weapons, and it had a fierce and evil look on its face.

Not bad, it has that feel of a master of demonic cultivation.

Li Nayue's aura gradually increased, and in no time, she reached the level of the eighth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

However, it was still far inferior to the aura emanating from that primordial dragon.

Especially her aura; Li Nayue here looks like an ant queen who has gathered a bunch of ants to form a giant Transformer.

Uh, it looks like the character "王" (king) is drawn on a kitten's head, trying too hard to pretend to be a tiger.

However, the Ancient Thunder Dragon began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, and instantly a gust of wind arose around it.

Gale and lightning gathered in the mouth of the ancient thunder dragon, with thunder roaring and wind howling.

Lu An covered his head, hid behind a rock, and trembled.

You guys always go all out with your big moves, can't you even try to understand how I feel?

Those who are weak have no human rights! No human rights at all!

A violent burst of lightning erupted in an instant, and the eight-armed demonic shadow raised its eight arms, then its palms condensed into a shield, which it used to block the attack.

"Hahaha, a demonic beast at the eighth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm? Is that all it's capable of?!"

Li Nayue showed no fear whatsoever, and even began to make sarcastic remarks.

The next moment, the icy blue dragon breath swept in like a storm, covering the sky and blotting out the sun.

The eight-armed figure formed by the Heavenly Demon Sect members was instantly swallowed up by the icy blue lightning dragon breath.

"Oh no, this one's really been sent!"

Lu An closed his eyes and began to lie flat.

Chapter Forty: The Mysterious Powerful One

Righteous Alliance

An elderly man with an air of otherworldly wisdom sat cross-legged on a Tai Chi diagram, surrounded by countless mysterious golden characters and Bagua symbols.

The old man frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Finally, suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a golden halo burst forth around him, then spread outwards.

He looked up at the palace ceiling, which resembled a galaxy, and the starlight on the ceiling was still moving in a cyclical pattern.

As if sensing something, he suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed forward.

"The Ancient Thunder Dragon has appeared! It's in the Extreme Valley near the Heavenly Demon Sect!"

The old man shouted, his voice strong and clear, as if it could pierce straight into people's hearts.

Then a ball of light flew out from the old man and flew into the distance.

The next moment, countless streaks of light flew out from the Righteous Alliance and flew towards the horizon.

The leader was an ethereal fairy dressed in gold and white robes.

She rode her sword at the forefront, her eyes resolute.

Ancient Thunder Dragons are descendants of ancient primordial dragons and are extremely rare. Their sudden appearance today is an opportunity that the Righteous Alliance cannot afford to miss.

Moreover, it appeared near the Heavenly Demon Sect. Could it have been lured and captured by the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect?

But that was an extremely powerful behemoth that was almost ascended to immortality. Not to mention capturing it, even killing it would be an extremely difficult task.

The giant demon that has undergone tribulation possesses power nearly equal to that of a human at the Mahayana stage; how terrifying!

Although no one has actually seen a great being in the Mahayana stage, it's all just boasting.

Therefore, this group of people were all experts in the Tribulation Transcending stage, ranging from the first to the sixth level. However, they were not there to capture or kill the Ancient Thunder Dragon.

They're not that oblivious; they want to communicate with them.

Ancient, primordial behemoths must have known a great deal about this world; they were seeking answers to their questions.

Of course, they hope the other party won't spit on them and kill them.

However, these few people at the Tribulation Transcending stage should be able to survive in the face of such a giant beast, right?

In less than a day, they followed the guiding orb given by the old man and arrived at the Extreme Valley.

They were immediately stunned by the scene before them upon arrival.

The entire valley had become barren, with white smoke rising from the ground—the molten lava from the rocks, which were still silently bubbling and rolling on the ground.

Thump, thump.

The group stood on the flying sword, looking at the apocalyptic scene before them, and were filled with astonishment.

"It's the aura of an Ancient Thunder Dragon; it's been here!"

One person closed their eyes, scanned the area with their divine sense, and immediately identified a powerful primordial aura.

It is a giant beast with extremely high realm and strength. You can guess that this must be the Ancient Thunder Dragon that Dan Qingzi mentioned.

One person landed and touched a withered tree beside him. The tree turned into ashes the instant it was touched.

Arcs of lightning flashed by from time to time, and dazzling blue light appeared suddenly like ghosts before disappearing again.

"No, there's also the aura of a demonic cultivator, a very strong demonic aura..."

The woman at the head of the group also landed. She closed her eyes and sensed everything around her.

There are two auras in this place: a fierce and terrifying primordial aura, and a brutal demonic aura.

"They are members of the demonic path. They fought with Gu Leilong." A black-clad man with a scholarly air, his eyes covered by a white cloth, said, lightly tapping the ground. "Moreover, it wasn't just one person, but a group of them!"

"Blind man, is this really true?!"

Another woman in red asked curiously.

Compared to the ethereal, golden-and-white-clad woman at the head of the group, this woman in red appeared more mature and... alluring.

"Would I lie to you? My divine sense resonates with the Heavenly Dao, so naturally I see more than you do." The man with the white blindfold shook his head and said, "But, how strange, I seem to have seen a very strange figure as well."

"What figure? Blind Mo, don't try to play tricks again! Hahaha!"

A burly man carrying a giant sword stepped out. He was wearing thick armor, and his thick beard gave him the appearance of a villain.

However, the man ignored him and continued to perceive everything around him.

In his perception, he sensed countless demonic cultivators floating above the valley, opposite them was a gigantic dragon-shaped primordial beast.

That is, they have been searching for the Ancient Thunder Dragon.

Although the divine sense, after reaching a consensus with the Heavenly Dao, cannot yet fully reconstruct the entire picture, it is close enough.

There was one figure among them, hiding behind a rock, looking rather cowardly.

However, in his consciousness, that figure was just a black shadow.

His movements were completely obscured, and it was impossible to tell whether he was dodging or lying in ambush.

Ambushing them all by himself? Neither Gu Leilong nor this group of demonic cultivators could be ambushed by him alone, could they?

Could he be some kind of expert?

Unable to detect any strength or aura, his divine sense, which resonated with the Heavenly Dao, was completely unable to discern anything from this dark figure.

"He is a very mysterious person. I don't know who he is or what his strength is."

Mo Yun, the blind man of the Righteous Alliance, is not blind in the sense that his divine sense can resonate with the Heavenly Dao. He can be described as a walking super radar.

But now the radar is malfunctioning and has detected things that they themselves cannot detect.

"Look, there's someone over there!"

The woman in red shouted and pointed into the distance.

Following the direction she pointed, everyone saw a figure sitting on half a boulder.

He was almost naked from the waist down, his clothes were tattered, but he exuded an indescribable aura.

Mysterious and aloof, as if it were isolated from the world.

Everyone scanned the area with their divine senses, and their eyes widened in surprise.

Their divine senses were completely unable to detect this person's strength.

When divine sense swept over this person, it was like sweeping through an impenetrable fog.

They were all at the Tribulation Transcending stage, so why couldn't they see through this person at all?

So they turned their attention to Mo Yun, who was standing to the side.

Mo Yun, however, seemed to know that they were looking at him, and shook his head, saying, "I can't see through it either. I can't detect anything. It seems that even the Heavenly Dao I resonate with cannot perceive his strength."

So they walked over cautiously.

Who exactly is it that could survive under such circumstances?

What did he experience? What did he see? What did he know?

Or perhaps, he wasn't a living person? But a corpse?

Or is he not actually human?

It is said that primordial beasts can transform into humans. Could he be that primordial beast that transformed into a human?

Various possibilities flashed through their minds as they cautiously approached the figure sitting cross-legged on the rock, afraid of disturbing him.

"Holy crap! That scared me to death, I'm still alive!?"

Lu An, who had been dozing off, suddenly woke up and started groping his face and body.

He was still alive, his heart was still beating, and most importantly, he could still smell something burning.

The air was filled with a strong, burning smell that made people feel nauseous.

After realizing that he was alright, Lu An stood up and began to look around.

The place is desolate. Could it be that I've died and gone to hell?

Oh no, it's really over. Where is the Bridge of Helplessness? Where is the River of Oblivion? Where is the Stone of Three Lives?

Where is Meng Po? Where is the cauldron for boiling soup? And where do you go after reincarnation?

This time I'm going to join the third generation of the Immortal Clan and never again join that deadly Demonic Sect, where I'd risk my life.

Lu An turned around and met the eyes of those people.
