Chapter 589: Who is Undergoing Tribulation?

The anomalies in the sky were becoming increasingly intense; it was not just heavenly lightning descending, but even heavenly fire transforming into pillars of light, greeting Murong Hongxiu's body!

However, this woman was by no means an ordinary existence. She possessed many divine abilities, and after successively deploying several methods, she had easily defended against six waves of Heavenly Tribulation attacks!

Zhang Nuo stood high in the sky, feeling the power of this Four-Nine Middle Heavenly Tribulation, and was slightly stunned! Just at this moment, a streak of light sped over from the distant sky, and before long, it arrived at the place where Murong Hongxiu was undergoing her Heavenly Tribulation!

Zhang Nuo's expression changed slightly; it seemed he had work to do! He flashed his figure and arrived right in front of that streak of light. When he saw who it was, he let out a long sigh of relief.

The arrival was merely a half-transformed demon cultivator, likely with the cultivation of the Spirit Severing Stage!

"Fellow Daoist, please stay your step!"

A voice filled with majesty emanated from Zhang Nuo's mouth. The demon cultivator opposite him was startled for a moment, then said with a slightly alarmed expression:

"Senior! This junior only wanted to see who was undergoing tribulation here! If I have caused any disturbance, I beg Senior to forgive my sins!"

The half-transformed demon cultivator spoke very respectfully, looking quite harmless to humans and animals!

"What is there to see! Leave this place at once!"

His expression sinking, Zhang Nuo's Integration Stage Spiritual Pressure surged out rapidly, applying entirely to that half-transformed demon cultivator. It immediately made the demon unable to bear it, and with an increasingly ugly expression, the demon said:

"I... I understand, Senior! This junior will leave right away!"

Having said that, the demon turned and fled, transforming into a streak of light without looking back! Zhang Nuo had no intention of attacking such a demon cultivator at all! After driving away the first demon cultivator, within an hour, several more demon cultivators of similar cultivation appeared one after another, but upon sensing Zhang Nuo's Spiritual Pressure, they did not even dare to show their faces and returned the way they came!

Zhang Nuo was very satisfied with the tactfulness of these demon cultivators; at the very least, it saved a lot of wasted breath! But just as Murong Hongxiu's Heavenly Tribulation reached its middle stage, three streaks of light appeared side-by-side from the distant sky. Before these streaks of light even approached, Zhang Nuo's expression became grave!

Because all three streaks of light possessed significant power, and the one in the middle even had the strength of the Integration Late Stage!

In a flash, the three streaks of light arrived before Zhang Nuo. The light faded, revealing three transformed demon cultivators. All three were dressed in black robes. The one in the middle was a middle-aged man around forty years old with a sallow complexion and an unkind appearance, his cultivation at the Integration Late Stage, while the men on either side had pale skin, appearing somewhat sickly! Their cultivation was also around the He Ti Chu Qi.

The three looked at Zhang Nuo simultaneously, then all revealed expressions of disdain!

"What is the cultivation of the cultivator undergoing tribulation ahead, to actually attract the Four-Nine Middle Heavenly Tribulation?"

The sallow-faced man spoke to Zhang Nuo very rudely! He was conceited because his cultivation was two minor realms higher than the other, and he had two helpers!

Zhang Nuo frowned, feeling greatly displeased. Murong Hongxiu had previously said that high-level demon cultivators had all gone to participate in the Immortal World's Demon Beast Tide, so how could three Integration Stage demon cultivators suddenly appear here! There was even a guy at the Integration Late Stage!

"This Fellow Daoist, in my opinion, you had better leave! This place has nothing to do with you!"

His expression turning cold, Zhang Nuo spoke just as unpleasantly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes as Evil Qi spread out from his body!

"Such a big tone. Even if the person undergoing tribulation ahead is an existence at the Refining Void Stage, they are currently unable to protect themselves!"

Seeing Zhang Nuo act this way, the sallow-faced cultivator curled his lips into a cold sneer. His cultivation was far above Zhang Nuo's, so if they really started fighting, the three of them could certainly deal with one Integration Stage cultivator!

Zhang Nuo's heart turned; it turned out the three opposite him had mistaken Murong Hongxiu for a Refining Void Stage existence. It was no wonder she could attract the Four-Nine Middle Heavenly Tribulation; if it were him, without knowing the situation, he would also mistakenly think the cultivator undergoing tribulation here was at the Refining Void Stage!

"What does Fellow Daoist want?"

"What do I want? Hehe, we three have no other meaning, we just want to see the divine abilities of the person undergoing tribulation!"

The person standing to the left of the sallow-faced demon cultivator gave a cold sneer and spoke with ill intent. As soon as Zhang Nuo saw this person's expression, he understood even more clearly that these three wanted to loot a burning house. After all, if it really were a Refining Void Stage existence, if they failed to pass the Heavenly Tribulation, there would be many benefits on their body!

Zhang Nuo remained calm and blinked a few times, but the killing intent in his heart erupted. Looking at the appearance of the three demon cultivators, this time they certainly would not just let it go! Since that was the case, it would be better to strike first and eliminate the two with the weakest cultivation!

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo smiled faintly and spoke as if he were lecturing on grand principles.

"For you three Fellow Daoists to do this is too damaging to the Demon World! We are currently at a critical stage of the Demon Beast Tide; every high-level cultivator is a very important existence to the Demon World. Demon cultivators like you, hmph! Living or dead makes no difference!"

Just as Zhang Nuo finished speaking! Suddenly, his hands lunged fiercely toward the two white-faced cultivators in front. At the same time, the two demon cultivators only felt the space around their bodies tighten, as if bound by some force. The two were greatly shocked; they did not expect Zhang Nuo to attack so brazenly. Could it be that the other party was conceited enough to think he could deal with all three of them at once?

The sallow-faced cultivator in the middle also felt his body tighten, but Zhang Nuo did not exert his full strength against him; after all, even if he used divine abilities to bind a late-stage cultivator, it would not be easily achieved!

The sallow-faced cultivator retreated rapidly. Just at this moment, Golden Light flowed over Zhang Nuo's body, his Phantom Immortal Dharma Image emerged, and with a flicker of his figure, he rushed toward the two white-faced cultivators!

With a scoop of his giant palm, he grabbed the two Integration Early Stage demon cultivators! Although the two demon cultivators tried their best to break free, the power of the Dharma Image far exceeded the two demons' imagination! They struggled several times, but still could not escape the palm of the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image!

"You two are the first to experience this move of mine! I suppose it is worth it even in death! 'Underworld King Explosive Kill'!"

As the last four words left his mouth, the eyes of the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image flashed with red light, a roar erupted from its mouth, and dark red flames suddenly burst forth from its hands.

Boom! Boom!

Two loud bangs rang out, and these two white-faced Integration Early Stage cultivators vanished into nothingness within two balls of fire! They did not even have a chance for their Nascent Souls to escape!

This move, 'Underworld King Explosive Kill', was created by Zhang Nuo by combining a technique from the 'Immovable Underworld King' cultivation method with the Red Glow Fire Spirit within his body. He did not expect it to have such great power the first time it was deployed! A demon cultivator's body is naturally stronger than a human cultivator's; if this move could kill a demon cultivator of the same rank in one blow, then human cultivators would be even less of a concern!

The sallow-faced demon cultivator exclaimed in the distance; Zhang Nuo's move was simply too heaven-defying, as two companions had died in the blink of an eye! At the same time, he had to re-evaluate the young cultivator before him! His mind raced, searching for cultivators in the Demon World with this level of cultivation but astonishing divine abilities!

But after a moment, the sallow-faced demon cultivator was silent; he racked his brains but did not know who Zhang Nuo was!

"This Fellow Daoist, you are next!"

Zhang Nuo pointed his hand, and instantly, an aura of slaughter soared into the sky, permeating the surrounding space!

"Hehe! Want to kill me? Even if your divine abilities are not weak, my cultivation is higher than yours! I think you had better go accompany the previous two in death!"

After the sallow-faced cultivator finished speaking, he moved his body and was the first to sacrifice a Magic Treasure. Black light flashed on the surface of this treasure, and it was shockingly a black giant banner over a zhang tall!

Black Qi surged on the banner's surface, and bursts of ghostly wailing sounds emanated from within!

"Yin Soul Magic Treasure!"

Zhang Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling even more disdain for the sallow-faced cultivator before him! This type of Yin Soul-series Magic Treasure required a large number of cultivator souls to be refined. Because the methods were too vicious and involved too much killing, many cultivators hated those who used this type of Magic Treasure to the bone!

"My banner is only missing the Yin Soul of one Refining Void Stage cultivator! The cultivator undergoing tribulation today must die!"

The sallow-faced man said coldly! It seemed Zhang Nuo's previous guess was not wrong; this demon cultivator indeed mistook Murong Hongxiu for a Refining Void Stage existence! And he even wanted to put her to death!

"This Fellow Daoist, you have miscalculated this time! The cultivator undergoing tribulation here is an Integration Late Stage cultivator!"

"That's impossible! How could someone who can trigger the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation be an Integration Stage cultivator?"

The sallow-faced man denied it outright. Since the facade had already been torn away, even if he turned and left now, who knew if the other party would come looking for him later! He shook the black giant banner in his hand, and streaks of Yin Souls flew out from the banner's surface, pouncing toward Zhang Nuo!

He shook his head slightly; this type of Yin Soul attack might be extremely troublesome for other cultivators, but in front of Zhang Nuo, it was as if it were nothing!

Black Qi flashed between his brows, and then the Hell Butterfly emerged. After a soft cry, its Butterfly Wings expanded to over half a zhang. Flapping its wings, it turned into a black streak of light and rushed toward the Yin Souls!

After circling in mid-air, those Yin Souls were all sucked into the Hell Butterfly's mouth! Upon seeing this, the sallow-faced cultivator was immediately shocked! He did not expect that Zhang Nuo would have such a Spirit Beast in his body that could devour Yin Souls!

Before he could make his next move, the Phantom Immortal Dharma Image blurred in mid-air and vanished directly. The next moment, space fluctuated behind the sallow-faced man, and the Dharma Image manifested! Both hands reached out simultaneously, and ten thousand rays of Golden Light burst forth from its fingers.

A golden light prison half a zhang in size formed around the sallow-faced cultivator's body, trapping him inside! As for his black giant banner Magic Treasure, it was directly destroyed by the pillar of light sprayed from the Dharma Image's mouth!

The sallow-faced demon cultivator inside the light prison had not yet figured out what was happening before he was already in danger. He successively sacrificed several Magic Treasures, attacking the yellow light prison non-stop, but this prison was exceptionally sturdy; even though his divine abilities were not weak, he was unable to escape for the time being!
