Zhou Yun Sheng thought about it, and guessed that only the son of fate would have the luck to get hold of the Kunlun mirror. Song Yufei? He wasn't dead?
Ferociously stomping on the bronze mirror again, Zhou Yun Sheng fled to another Immortal Cave Zong Yi had built, thinking about how to escape.
The Kunlun mirror had already recognized its master, so no matter where it was, its owner could find it. And Song Yufei hated Zhou Yun Sheng, so naturally, he always revealed his whereabouts to other cultivators. He just needed to patiently wait for these people to kill him, then call back the Kunlun mirror during the confusion.
Such acts didn't expose his identity, yet it still killed off all his enemies, it could be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, even if Zhou Yun Sheng hid behind the prohibitions on the Immortal Cave, Song Yufei would still find his position and reveal the news, attracting a group of powerful cultivators to surround the Immortal Cave.
They resorted to all kinds of magical attacks to destroy the defense array outside the Immortal Cave, in just one or two days, this location would be razed to the ground.
Zhou Yun Sheng had long sent some Transmission Talismans to Zong Yi, but they were always intercepted en route, he also sent a distress message to the sect, but no sect members came to rescue him, he could only deal with this alone.
Instead of waiting to die, it was better to pull in a few sacrificial lambs, he heard rumbling outside the Immortal Cave and pulled up his lips in a sneer. If his Yuanshen was crushed by this world, he wouldn't go back to the Xinghai space, nor would he go back to reality, but even so, he would rather die fighting than live as an ostrich.
As soon as he opened the seal, a colorful barrage of magical attacks rushed in, he quickly turned into fog, enveloping the inside and outside of the cave. Fog followed along the powerful cultivators' skin and invaded their internal organs, quickly extracting their spiritual power to form any even thicker fog, instantly, a radius of thousands of miles was submerged.
These powerful masters quickly expanded their magic powers to disperse the fog, but that only made their spiritual power drain quicker. Some people started hallucinating and began indiscriminately killing, some collapsed from poison, and some quietly had their Yuanshen crushed.
Clearly only a Jindan Qi small disciple, but one attack could kill dozens of Yuanying Qi masters, his cultivation method was really treacherous and unpredictable!
Zhou Yun Sheng took advantage of their unpreparedness to kill them off, but he also knew that over time, these experienced monsters would naturally find thousands of ways to deal with him.
Today, however, he'd made up his mind to let this siege of people die without burial. He no longer suppressed his cultivation base and circled his spiritual power to rapidly break through to Yuanying Qi. When 9×9 Heavenly Tribulations fell, these people could only pray for a blessing!
Tribulation clouds quickly rolled across the horizon, the deafening thunder could shake the mountains and rivers, heavenly law sending down pressure with Zhou Yun Sheng as the center, enveloping a radius of hundreds of miles. All who were within the scope of it would be subject to indiscriminate lighting tribulation attacks.
Even if the Lord God, who controlled heavenly law, just wanted to kill Zhou Yun Sheng, it was still a life-less program, so it always created well defined rules, very lacking in flexibility. Nuisances will be struck down by the lightning tribulations- that was already a well-established rule of this world, it couldn't change on a whim, so all of these people would be buried with Zhou Yun Sheng.
"Bad, that small disciple is going to bear tribulations!"
"He's just a Jindan Qi child, his punishment will merely be 4×9 tribulations, the most is 6×9 tribulations, you and I just have to wave our hands to disperse them, why are you afraid?"
"He's right, we can even take the chance to grab the Kunlun mirror while he bears the tribulations. He's already busy just defending himself, to think he actually has the gall to call down tribulations! Does he think we'll die from insignificant little lightning? Ridiculous!"
The Yuanying Qi cultivators weren't as confident about bearing the lightning tribulations, they all wanted to escape, but found that at some point, nine times nine or eighty one prohibitions had been laid out in the fog, interlocking. The complexity was unprecedented, even a chaos level array master wouldn't be able to break it apart. They scurried around in the fog like head-less hoarse flies, their eyes filled with desperation.
The Huashen Qi ancestors and above disdainfully dismissed the lightning tribulations and sent out their spiritual awareness to search for Zhou Yun Sheng's position.
Finding the handsome man leisurely sitting atop a rock, their eyes were filled with a greedy light, and they stepped over each other to get closer and attack him. Just as they neared his position, they were all struck by a thick and solid, matchless lightning bolt, and were paralyzed from head to toe, dropping from the sky like dead flies.
An enormous pressure, as if the ninth heaven above had fallen to the earth, came crashing down, nearly pulverizing their almost invincible bodies, the clear sounds of bones snapping echoed one after another.
How was this 4×9 or 6×9 Heavenly Tribulations? This was obviously the 9×9 Heavenly Tribulations that only Dasheng Qi cultivators or Loose Immortals could call down. Although there were Dasheng Qi ancestors and Loose Immortals among the people wanting to kill Zhou Yun Sheng, the reason why they wanted to snatch the Kunlun mirror was to find a magic weapon that could help them carry their own 9×9 Heavenly Tribulations to smoothly ascend.
They'd never imagined that before the treasure could come into their hands, the 9×9 Heavenly Tribulations would arrive first. It was like reluctantly bearing their past burdens while also helping others carry theirs, suffering serious injuries without the reward of ascension, the sullen feeling was simply indescribable.
After the second lightning tribulation fell, they were all charred from head to toe. They quickly got up, desperate to flee the fog, but found that the edge of the fog was wrapped in prohibitions, even a chaos level array master wouldn't be able to open them.
He intended to pull them with him into the grave! Such a cruel mind, such decisive methods, he was indeed Zong Yi's disciple!
The couldn't wait to tear Zhou Yun Sheng apart, but didn't dare get closer to the rock because Zhou Yun Sheng was covered from head to toe in bright purple lightning, all the objects around him would be turned to ash.
Those with lower cultivation bases fell one by one, not even their bones were left. Those with higher cultivation bases began falling to their knees by the fifty-fifth lightning bolt, no longer able to stand upright.
When the sixtieth lightning bolt fell, a Dujie Qi cultivator's Yuanshen shattered, and his already lifeless, charred black body vanished. After him, more and more Dujie Qi cultivators fell.
Zhou Yun Sheng clearly felt the increased difference in power of the Yuanying Qi tribulations compared to the Jindan Qi tribulations. It seemed that heavenly law couldn't increase the quantity, so it had to start increasing the quality, even though it wanted to kill him outright, it couldn't.
He took the Kunlun mirror out from his bosom and sneered, "Since you want to follow me, help me bear a few lighting tribulations." Then he raised the mirror above his head.
Although the Kunlun mirror was an ancient magic artifact, but it was damaged, its power couldn't be compared to its heyday. It was okay at first, but at the last five lighting tribulations, a few spider web-thin cracks unexpectedly appeared on the mirror's surface. It looked even shabbier than before.
And the one who'd refined the Kunlun with his life blood, Song Yufei, suffered a lot of pain. Every fall of lighting tribulation made him violently cough up blood, and he fainted near the end, half dead.
Afterwards, he staggered up to the entrance the nearby Immortal Cave he was hiding in, then stared out at the battlefield, almost biting off his tongue in horror. There was Fang Xinghai, completely unharmed, his hands raised to recall the dense fog, conveniently absorbing the spiritual energy with the fog until none was left. Then he walked up to a group of near death Dasheng Qi cultivators and Loose Immortals, extended a very strange looking dagger and cut open their internal organs, crushing their Yuanshen to pieces, then inhaled their cultivation base into his dantian.
This was the same as directly sucking in the hard work achieved by the cultivator's cultivation method, an action even more horrifying than the methods of devil cultivators. The few powerful masters fortunate enough to survive the lightning were quickly sucked dry, dissipating into smoke.
"This cultivation method doesn't belong to the righteous path, it's undoubtedly a devil method." The stunning woman suddenly opened.
"Fairy, are you sure?"
"I'm sure, many years ago, the devil world's ruler practiced a similar cultivation method to become the first devil cultivator to ascend to the Immortal World."
Song Yufei's heart shook, he wiped the blood off his mouth, sneered, then turned to leave.
Zhou Yun Sheng killed the last few stragglers, knocked on the cracked surface of the Kunlun mirror, then let out a cheerful chuckle, "Finally a little bit of use. I'll leave the next lightning tribulations to you as well."
The Kunlun mirror trembled, at the same time, it issued a sharp buzzing sound. If the magic tool could communicate with people besides its master, it would now be holding his thighs, weeping bitter tears and begging to be showed mercy.
Zhou Yun Sheng, as if perceiving its mood, laughed more cheerfully. Then he put the bronze mirror into his heaven and earth ring, concealed his figure and flew towards the sect.
In fact, he didn't need to be so cautious, he'd killed almost one-third of Grand Heaven World's masters in the previous battle, his infamous name had long been spread throughout the cultivation world. Plus with Zong Yi and Promise Immortal Sect behind him, average cultivators wouldn't dare provoke him.
He flew directly into Promise Immortal Sect's border and once again ran into a treasure looting 5th Tribulation Loose Immortal.
The Loose Immortal attacked without preamble, using their most powerful magical attack, Hell Prison Fire, which made a grid around Zhou Yun Sheng. However, the black light sword Zong Yi had attached to Zhou Yun Sheng's body chopped him to pieces.
As the saying goes, take advantage of someone's illness to seek life, seeing that the Loose Immortal was seriously injured by the light sword, Zhou Yun Sheng transformed into fog and floated like a demon to his side, thrust his hand into the man's dantian and Zifu, then absorbed his spiritual power and Yuanshen into his black hole. The Loose Immortal's uncontrollable, powerful Yuanshen was forced into the black hole and twisted into energy debris for absorption. This was the clever use Zhou Yun Sheng had just discovered for the black hole, it was quicker than eating medicinal pills to enhance the cultivation base, plus no sequelae.
In one breath, the once all-powerful 5th Tribulation Loose Immortal became an empty skin sack. Zhou Yun Sheng throw off the skin sack, then raised his eyes, surprised to see Chi Xiao Zhenren with the rest of the elders and the peak masters standing at the top of the tall staircase, looking down at him.
He stepped forward a few steps, saluted the elders, and was about to fly away to Silent Fire Peak when he was stopped by Chi Xiao Zhenren, "Fang Xinghai, what kind of method do you cultivate?"
"It's my own method, 'Fog Arts'."
"Oh? But I don't think it looks like a fog spiritual roots cultivation method, instead, it looks like the Devil Senior's ten thousand year old cultivation method, 'Muddy Heaven, Refine Devil Heart Sutra.'" One elder slowly said.
The rest of the people heard his words and revealed horrified or contemptuous expressions.
In those days, in order for the Devil Senior to cultivate this method, he'd killed at least a hundred thousand righteous path masters, and also took their cultivation base for his own use, finally ascending while ever great immortal sect cursed him. How could they not hate those who practiced this method?
Zhou Yun Sheng's eyebrows rose, his heart guessing that today wouldn't have a good end. Either he was killed and robbed by these dignified cultivators, or he cleaved a bloody path through them, but either way, from now on he and Promise Immortal Sect had irreconcilable differences.
Fortunately, the black hole stone inside his dantian had absorbed another 9×9 Heavenly Tribulations, which should help him escape. The Lord God wanted to kill him, but in quick succession, it had only helped him, he feared that it was vomiting blood by now.
Thinking of this, his thin body instantly turned into fog, enveloping the surroundings.
