Chapter 1195: Chapter 737: The Black Demon Tower, Scheming in the Shadows
As the Tribulation Qi dispersed, the celestial might surrounding Lu Qing shifted again.
Surging energy emerged from the void, pouring into Lu Qing’s body, aiding his transformation.
This was the reward from the Great Dao for those who succeeded in crossing the tribulation. The Great Dao is supreme, and not even the wonders of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm can obstruct it.
With the infusion of Dao energy, Lu Qing’s transformation instantly became more fierce.
Mana, Power of the Physical Body, and Primordial Spirit Power all soared at a jaw-dropping speed.
After half a day, Lu Qing’s transformation was finally complete.
An extremely terrifying aura rose from him, causing Little Li, who was hiding in the corner, to feel waves of fear.
Fortunately, this aura was fleeting; as soon as it appeared, Lu Qing restrained it again.
As the aura receded, Lu Qing also opened his eyes.
"Ah Qing." Little Li came before Lu Qing, staring at him with wide eyes, "Did you breakthrough again?"
"Yes, I just crossed the second Primordial Spirit Tribulation." Lu Qing nodded.
"Can you beat those people outside now?"
"I fear not." Lu Qing rubbed Little Li’s fur, "The weakest of the outside strong are Five Tribulation Primordial Spirits, like that Great Han in the Black and White Taoist Robe who harbors deep hostility towards us is an Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit of supreme strength. We can’t contend with them yet."
"Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit!"
Little Li’s eyes widened even more.
"Indeed, so among the various forces entering to explore the secret realm this time, we are the weakest. We must be more cautious, prioritizing safety." Lu Qing nodded.
Truthfully, Lu Qing suspected that an Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit might not even be the final trump card of these forces.
He wouldn’t be surprised if a Nine Tribulations Primordial Spirit emerges at any time.
Just as he concealed Little Li within the Leaving Fire Tripod, perhaps other forces have similar tactics.
It’s just that this secret realm does not allow the presence of beings above Primordial Spirit.
Otherwise, Lu Qing suspected these powerful forces would have sent even more terrifying entities in by now.
"Yes, then we must be careful to hide!"
Little Li listened to Lu Qing’s words and nodded quickly.
An Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit is truly an existence it can only look up to. Perhaps even a single breath could obliterate it.
So, it’s better for them to stay far away.
"But there’s no need to worry too much. We have restrictions guarding us in the palace. Even the most intense Primordial Spirit struggles to enter, so we are quite safe."
Seeing the little one’s fearful look, Lu Qing laughed again, comforting him.
After chatting with Little Li for a while, Lu Qing prepared to cultivate again.
The second Primordial Spirit Tribulation wasn’t his goal; it couldn’t truly withstand the external strong.
Currently, he still has plenty of Nourishing God Pill in his hand, and by complementing it with several other elixirs that enhance cultivation, it’s just right for his cultivation to go further.
If he can reach the third tribulation or even the fourth tribulation, coupled with the special environment of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm and his advantage of mastering a trace of the Power of Restriction within the realm—
By then, he would truly possess the strength to compete against a formidable entity like Mo Tushan’s Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirit.
As Lu Qing once again entered the cultivation state, the hall fell into tranquility.
Little Li continued to lay in the corner, silently vigilant.
But elsewhere in the secret realm, things were far from calm.
Boom!
In one hall, a loud vibration exploded, and immense might burst forth; Mo Tushan used just one strike to repel more than ten Primordial Spirits ahead.
Then he began to walk forward step by step, surrounded by Demonic Qi.
"I’ll say it again. If you don’t want to die, hand over the treasures you’ve obtained, or else you won’t leave here alive."
Mo Tushan, looking at the crowd before him as they faced him like a great enemy, spoke indifferently.
"Mo Tushan, do you honestly intend to be so domineering? The treasures we painstakingly broke through restrictions to obtain, why should we give them to you?"
An old man in luxurious attire opposite retorted with an angry expression.
"Simply because I am stronger than you." Mo Tushan remarked calmly, "The weak are prey to the strong. Since I am stronger, I should claim all the treasures. You can resist, but if you do, don’t hold me accountable for exterminating you."
"You think you’re invincible in this secret realm. I don’t believe, being both Eight Tribulations Primordial Spirits, you’re that much stronger!" The old man shouted coldly.
"Good, it seems you plan to resist. That suits me just fine."
Seeing this, Mo Tushan did not get angry; instead, he grinned.
"Earlier, when I captured that Five Tribulation kid, you, old man, seemed very pleased, right? I want to see if you can still laugh later."
With that, the terrifying aura from Mo Tushan’s body surged, and a black nine-layered tower’s phantom appeared behind him.
The terrifying aura instantly changed the expressions of the Primordial Spirits opposite.
The old man in luxurious attire stared at the phantom of the black tower, showing disbelief.
"Impossible, your aura..."
"All of you, die!"
Without waiting for his words to finish, Mo Tushan shouted loudly and struck with his palm. The surging Demonic Qi instantly engulfed everyone opposite.
After a while, as Mo Tushan left with the disciples of the Black and White Temple, that hall was already dead silent.
After some time, when Yu Jian and Qing Xii arrived with their fellow disciples, they only saw dried corpses strewn across the hall and strands of lingering Demonic Qi.
"It’s the people from the Luoyun Sect of the Great Yu Immortal Domain!"
