Chapter 555

"Corpse Demon?"

Divine Firmament City.

In a magnificent palace inlaid with five-colored divine stones.

A low roar like that of a lion rang out.

"It is City Lord Zhong."

A disciple of Divine Firmament City said respectfully with his head lowered.

The heroic middle-aged man who spoke just now was precisely Zhong Hua, one of the three deputy city lords of Divine Firmament City, a great cultivator of the Heaven-Human Realm with extremely deep qualifications.

Killing intent shot out faintly from his eyes.

Because Fu Rui was precisely his disciple.

He had originally placed high hopes on him, but didn't expect him to die suddenly.

Not to mention that Fu Rui was very likely to become a core member of Bai Yujing, which would have been of great benefit to him, and his future was bright; yet just yesterday, while out suppressing demons, he encountered a monster, and that monster self-destructed, causing Fu Rui to die, and in the end, even his spiritual fetus could not escape.

The method was extremely vicious.

Now it could be confirmed that the monster was precisely a corpse demon.

And that corpse demon was refined from the remains of demonic cultivators of the Wan Mo Ku.

Zhong Hua narrowed his eyes slightly: "Corpse Sect?"

Such methods.

He couldn't help but think of a demonic sect that had once made countless cultivators in Taihua Prefecture tremble with fear.

The cultivators in the Corpse Sect all followed the path of refining corpses.

It is rumored that when this path is followed to the highest level, one can even directly refine oneself into a corpse immortal.

Regarding this.

Orthodox immortal sects naturally sneered at it; after all, if one can properly attain the Dao and ascend to immortality, why refine oneself into a monster that is neither human nor ghost?

If it were just this, the Corpse Sect would not have been jointly suppressed and killed by the major immortal sects of the Taihua Sect.

The conditions for those corpse cultivators to refine corpse demons were extremely harsh; they had to be the corpses of cultivators with excellent aptitude.

And so, the Corpse Sect set its sights on the immortal tombs of those major immortal sects.

Who could withstand having their own ancestors' graves dug up?

After some time.

The Corpse Sect provoked public anger, and that was why it was exterminated.

Up until now, one rarely heard of people from the Corpse Sect appearing.

Didn't expect that the corpse demon would appear again, and it actually took the life of his disciple.

How could he endure it?

"City Lord, are you going out of the city?"

That young disciple of Divine Firmament City asked when he saw Zhong Hua walking toward the outside of the main hall with large strides.

And then he heard Zhong Hua's icy voice:

"Blood debt must be paid in blood."

"Has the Corpse Sect been revived?"

"It was actually a corpse demon self-destructing."

Li Rui sat in the courtyard, thinking secretly.

Tan Hu, on the other hand, had a strange expression.

'Could it be that the True Lord has manifested his spirit?'

Before, he had said that Fu Rui had blocked the Yu Kingdom's good fortune, and how long had it been since he said that, and Fu Rui had actually died.

What a coincidence.

Just as the two were thinking in the courtyard, Ning Zhongtian walked in from outside the door: "Big Brother, Deputy City Lord Zhong has personally taken action, swearing to make those corpse cultivators pay blood debt with blood."

"City Lord Tan has also gone."

He added another sentence.

Li Rui nodded: "Fourth Brother, you've worked hard."

He naturally knew that Deputy City Lord Zhong.

He was the person with the oldest qualifications among the three deputy city lords of Divine Firmament City.

Fu Rui was his true disciple.

The disciple died, so the master naturally had to take revenge.

Not to mention that Fu Rui was such an outstanding disciple, so he was naturally furious, determined to grind those guys from the Corpse Sect into dust one by one.

As for Tan Yu, as a person of Zhong Hua's lineage, he naturally had to follow.

Li Rui, as a member of his master's lineage, did not need to get involved.

'The immortal path is ethereal...'

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

One moment, he was infinitely glorious, the most amazing prodigy in Divine Firmament City with the best chance of achieving the Dao Body, and the next moment, he died suddenly, and all his past glory became smoke passing before one's eyes.

The immortal cultivation world is just like this.

No matter how talented a cultivator is, there is a possibility of dying young.

Once dead, everything is over. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Myriad Longevity Dao Lord would rather walk slowly than be too conspicuous.

Sweeping through everything and reaching the peak is certainly enviable.

But little do they know, one general's success is built on ten thousand bones; behind this, I don't know how many prodigies' corpses have been buried.

Slow is fine, as long as one can stabilize and reach a high place.

'I don't know when the heavenly tribulation will arrive; I still need to make more preparations.'

Li Rui stopped thinking about Fu Rui's matter.

He began to calculate the crossing of the tribulation.

The tribulation is determined by heaven; unless one can become a true immortal, no one can determine when the heavenly tribulation will arrive.

One can only wait.

Of course, the heavenly tribulation is not entirely without traces to follow.

At the very least, one will have a sense of it one month in advance.

Although it is almost a certainty for a cultivator who proves the Dao through strength to cross the heavenly tribulation, Li Rui still dared not take it lightly.

Just like this time with Fu Rui.

Who would have thought that the Wan Mo Ku had been wiped out, and a Corpse Sect would emerge halfway.

Ninety percent means there is still a ten percent chance of failing to cross the tribulation.

Although this is already extremely high among cultivators crossing the tribulation in the Purple Mansion Realm, Li Rui dared not have the slightest slack.

Once the tribulation fails.

Then everything is over.

So he must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Li Rui thought secretly in his heart:

"First, ask Master to help see if there are any divine treasures in Divine Firmament City that help with crossing the tribulation; if there are none in Divine Firmament City, then I can only make a trip to Taihua Prefecture."

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

During this period.

Li Rui had been cultivating in East Sea City, rarely going out; his Great Dao foundation was becoming increasingly stable, and his strength was rising all the way.

There was still no sign of the heavenly tribulation descending.

According to the conventions in the immortal cultivation world, after harmonizing with the Dao, it takes as short as three to five years, and some have even waited for thirty years before the heavenly tribulation descends.

Those who love to gossip have analyzed it.

The time of the heavenly tribulation's arrival has a great relationship with the Great Dao and the method of harmonizing with the Dao.

Regarding this.

Li Rui was not in a hurry at all.

This day.

He was breathing and cultivating in the room.

Suddenly.

Gao Tianxia's voice rang out in his mind.

"The Five Thunder Divine Cover has appeared in Divine Firmament City."

Li Rui's mouth raised slightly: "It seems my luck is not bad."

This Five Thunder Divine Cover is rumored to be a magic treasure refined after condensing the Five Elements True Thunder, but this magic treasure is not used to kill enemies, but is very cleverly used to weaken the thunder tribulation.

It is an extremely rare magic treasure that can be beneficial for crossing the tribulation.

There are not many artifact refiners in the immortal cultivation world who can refine the Five Thunder Divine Cover.

Crossing the tribulation is a matter of life and death.

No matter which cultivator sees it, they will have the thought of buying one as a guarantee.

Therefore, once it appears, it is fought over by countless cultivators.

Such a treasure is also rare to see in Divine Firmament City once in ten years; it has only been a short year, and there is news of the Five Thunder Divine Cover, so his luck is naturally very good.

Li Rui was suddenly in a great mood.

He pushed the door open and went out.

Coincidentally, Ning Zhongtian, Ge Hong, and the others were just in the courtyard.

Several people turned their heads and looked at Li Rui with some surprise.

Their Big Brother's mood seemed to be very good.

Ning Zhongtian blinked: "Big Brother, is something up?"

Li Rui had a smile on his mouth: "There is indeed something; I plan to go to Divine Firmament City; Hu Zi, Brother Ge, you two come with me."

"Divine Firmament City?"

When Tan Hu and Ge Hong heard this, they both showed expressions of joy.

That is a famous immortal city in Taihua Prefecture.

Over the years, although they belonged to Divine Firmament City, they had actually never been there once.

This was a good opportunity to broaden their horizons.

Under the envious gazes of Ning Zhongtian and Wei Ming, Tan Hu was the first to respond:

"Go, go, I just want to see what's so great about this immortal city."
