Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor's eyes flashed with ferocity, and his body was enveloped in corpse Qi as he pounced toward the six Nascent Soul Cultivators. Its thick hide and flesh had a defensive strength comparable to top-tier defensive magical treasures; even the six Nascent Soul Cultivators found it extremely difficult to kill it instantly!

Withered Wood True Monarch also summoned the Withered Origin Flame Blade, slashing towards the six Nascent Soul Cultivators.

"Mountain Sutra! Mountain Seal! A Spirit Treasure Level Mountain Seal, truly remarkable! What a pity, your opponents are the six of us!"

Golden Spirit True Monarch sneered and directly summoned thirty-six golden magical spirit swords to form the Golden Spirit Palace's secret Golden Spirit Demon-Slaying Sword Formation.

Once the thirty-six magical spirit swords formed the sword array, countless beams of sword light circled around, creating strands of sword threads, sweeping toward the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor.

Refining the sword into threads! Golden Spirit True Monarch was indeed a top-tier Sword Cultivator!

The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor's fierce light in his eyes subsided slightly as he frantically spurred the grey and black Corpse Qi, punching towards the sword array.

Large swathes of grey Corpse Qi struck the sword threads, only to be torn apart by them, and sword threads followed suit, slashing onto the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor's body, leaving behind multiple sword wounds.

The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor's flesh could withstand attacks from magical treasures, yet it was still cut by those sword threads, which highlighted the terrifying nature of these threads.

Great clouds of grey Corpse Qi surged out from within the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor, and its wounds began to heal at a startling rate.

The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor was the Demon Sect's cornerstone corpse demon from the God Transformation Grand Sect, into which Zhao Yu had poured countless resources. It also possessed various mystical attributes.

Luo Sheng True Monarch's gaze was icy as he released the mana fluctuations of the Nascent Soul Second Layer, directly summoning a blue longspear magical treasure and engaging in an intense fight with Withered Wood True Monarch.

Fei Yang True Monarch burst out with the mana fluctuations of a Nascent Soul Fifth Layer, directly summoning a Divine Wood Stake magical treasure.

The moment the Divine Wood Stake appeared, it emitted a cyan light, grew against the wind, and transformed into a ten-zhang-long wooden spear that radiated dazzling cyan light, striking towards Zhao Yu.

A serious expression flitted across Zhao Yu's eyes as he promptly spurred the Heavenly Separation True Fire, turning it into a fire dragon that roared towards the Divine Wood Stake.

Fei Yang True Monarch's Divine Wood Stake specialized in suppressing all kinds of Earth Element Divine Abilities. Zhao Yu's Mountain Divine Light, Mountain Great Handprint, and Mountain Seal were all countered by it.

Fei Yang True Monarch and the others had dared to come here because they were well-prepared to deal with Zhao Yu.

"Heavenly Separation True Fire is indeed a first-rate divine skill in the world! However, all divine skills can be broken, and Heavenly Separation True Fire is no exception!"

Huan Ling Fairy smiled sweetly as she released mana fluctuations of a Nascent Soul First Layer, directly summoning the Spiritual Treasure Yu Yuan Heavy Water Bottle. From the bottle, she sprayed a deep blue stream of Yu Yuan Water Essence Divine Light, sweeping it over the Heavenly Separation True Fire.

Hiss!

Where the Heavenly Separation True Fire's fire dragon was struck, large amounts of smoke arose; although it wasn't instantly destroyed, it began to shrink bit by bit.

The cyan wooden spear transformed from the Divine Wood Stake pierced through the fire dragon, getting burned and emitting clouds of cyan smoke.

Huang Feng True Monarch summoned a spirit fan and fanned fiercely, unleashing huge gusts and numerous barely visible wind blades that flew out, striking upon Zhao Yu's Mountain Divine Light protective barrier, each getting blocked in turn.

Wu Daoist's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he suddenly erupted with the presence of a Nascent Soul Second Layer, directly summoning his Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Dark Cloud Needle. An invisibly fine Poison Needle was shot out soundlessly.

```

The Lifebound Magic Treasure, Dark Cloud Needle wielded by the Daoist Priest Wu, was exceptionally strange and peerless, specifically designed to break through all kinds of Protective Barriers and Guardian Divine Abilities. With the Dark Cloud Needle, he had even once ambushed a Nascent Soul Fourth Layer cultivator.

Clang!

When the Dark Cloud Needle struck Zhao Yu's Mountain Divine Light, it made a sharp noise before being repelled and sent flying.

Zhao Yu's defense with the Mountain Divine Light Technique was terrifying. Only top-tier Wood-Element Treasures like the Divine Wood Stake could break through it; assassination-type treasures like the Dark Cloud Needle had no chance of penetrating the defensive powers of the Mountain Divine Light.

The complexion of Daoist Priest Wu turned extremely ugly as he waved his hand to unleash the Divine Ability of the Black Poison Demon Cloud, a vast expanse of pitch-black and highly venomous cloud surged towards Zhao Yu. Enjoy exclusive content from empire

The Black Poison Demon Cloud was a cloud of poison that Daoist Priest Wu had made by collecting a hundred kinds of Spirit Poison, taking him several hundred years to refine. Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator enveloped by the cloud could be poisoned to death if careless.

Red Emperor darted out from the side, reverted to its true form, opened its mouth and spewed a vast torrent of Dragon Flame, which incinerated the Black Poison Demon Cloud into ash.

Suddenly, the White Ghost Emperor performed a spatial leap and appeared behind the Delighted Fairy like a ghost, his face twisted as he lunged to stab her heart with one claw.

The Delighted Fairy's pretty face changed color, and from her large sleeves, ribbons imbued with a peculiar fragrance flew out as magical treasures towards the White Ghost Emperor.

With one swipe of his Ghost Claw, the White Ghost Emperor easily shredded those ribbon treasures with the dark ghostly energy of his claws, and, maintaining his momentum, his claw pierced through the Delighted Fairy's heart, extracted it, and then crushed it.

The Delighted Fairy screamed as her Nascent Soul flew out from her Heavenly Spirit Cover, desperately escaping in terror.

With one swift motion, the White Ghost Emperor pierced the Delighted Fairy's Nascent Soul, stuffed it into his mouth, and then locked his gaze onto Daoist Priest Wu. After a gruesome grin and a spatial leap, he appeared right behind Daoist Priest Wu.

Upon seeing the Delightful Fairy killed by the White Ghost Emperor, Daoist Priest Wu filled with vigilance and fear and immediately employed his Divine Ability, turning into a vast black cloud and fleeing into the distance. He did not want his years of cultivation to end in vain here.

"Think you can escape? Stay for me!"

Zhao Yu's eyes were cold as he poured his mana into the Mountain Seal, unleashing waves of Earth Magnetism Mystical Light towards Daoist Priest Wu.

The cloud of darkness that Daoist Priest Wu had turned into was immediately enveloped by a terrifying force, compressed into a ball, returning him to his original form.

The moment Daoist Priest Wu reverted to his true form, the White Ghost Emperor's claw pierced through his heart and casually crushed it.

Daoist Priest Wu's Nascent Soul emerged in panic from his Heavenly Spirit Cover, only to be impaled by the White Ghost Emperor's claw and then crunched up in his mouth.

Golden Spirit Lord felt a chill in his heart and shouted, "City Lord Zhao, you've won this Magical Combat! We admit defeat and ask you to withdraw your techniques!"

"Golden Spirit Lord, the Magical Combat was your choice, and when it ends is not for you to decide! Now, if you submit, consume the Spirit Poison I've refined and serve me from now on, I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, prepare to stay behind, all of you."

Zhao Yu activated the Mountain Seal, and waves of Earth Magnetism Mystical Light streamed out, striking the four Nascent Soul Cultivators, enshrouding them in a fearsome gravitational force that rendered them immobile.

The Nine Extreme Corpse Emperor roared incessantly, continuously spewing Corpse Qi Pillars from its mouth towards the Golden Spirit Lord.

Golden Spirit Lord manipulated the Sword Array to block each Corpse Qi Pillar while countless Sword Threads slashed at the Nine Extreme Corpse Emperor's body, leaving many wounds.

Nevertheless, the Nine Extreme Corpse Emperor put immense pressure on the Golden Spirit Lord, forcing him to exhaust all his mana in combat.
