Chapter 743: Bai Yuxian Crosses the Tribulation, Demon Emperor Blocks the Dao

In the Floating Cloud Mountain Range in the north of Weiguo, the nearest "Golden Feather Mountain" demon race is the number one strong enemy of the human cultivators in the entire Weiguo.

The two sides have been attacking each other for thousands of years and have already killed countless living beings, and they are already life-and-death enemies who will not stop until one side dies.

If you want to say who least wants to see someone from the "Carefree Sect" break through to Nascent Soul, it is naturally the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" who currently leads "Golden Feather Mountain."

It’s just that the "Golden Feather Mountain" demon race force is far away in the Northern Floating Cloud Mountain Range ten thousand miles away, and few demon kings dare to venture deep into Weiguo territory to probe the information of human cultivators at will.

Moreover, the "Carefree Sect" has always kept Bai Yuxian’s formation of the Nascent Soul strictly confidential over the years. Except for the cultivators of this sect, even the nearby sects rarely know about this matter.

Theoretically, it is impossible for the demon race to know clearly about what happened at "Guyang Peak," know that Bai Yuxian is breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, and come to block the Dao.

Even if the movement of the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation triggered later is relatively large and leaks this news, by the time the "Golden Feather Mountain" demon race side reacts, I am afraid Bai Yuxian has already crossed the thunder tribulation, and it is unlikely to catch up in time.

However, everything has a ten-thousandth chance. No matter whether anyone comes to block the Dao, Li Mufeng’s preparation is certainly not wrong. After Song Qingming and the others received the instructions, no one had any opinions on this and directly took the array flags and guarded the top of the mountain.

A cultivator forming a Nascent Soul takes more time than breaking through to Golden Core. The heaven and earth phenomenon triggered by Bai Yuxian lasted for more than a month before slowly having a trace of different changes.

On this day, the sky above, which was originally rolling with white clouds, suddenly saw the clouds slowly dissipate, revealing a clear sky for ten thousand miles.

Not long after, this bright sky gradually darkened, and a large group of pitch-black clouds appeared in the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and electricity.

Just hearing a roar suddenly coming from the black clouds, Li Mufeng, who was sitting on the top of the mountain, stood up with a serious face after seeing this scene.

"Yuxian has successfully transformed the fetus into the Nascent Soul and is about to cross the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation. You hurry up and leave the top of the mountain and open the mountain-protecting array, so as not to be accidentally injured by the thunder tribulation."

Li Mufeng gave instructions to Song Qingming and the three not far away, and then took out a sound transmission talisman to notify Xu Ziyan and others at the foot of the mountain, letting everyone guarding outside the mountain make precautions.

The Nascent Soul thunder tribulation is born for the cultivator crossing the tribulation by the Heavenly Dao. Except for the spiritual items borrowed by the cultivator crossing the tribulation himself, no other external force can be used to cross the tribulation.

Therefore, the "Guyang Mountain" mountain-protecting array cannot be used at this time and can only be closed in advance, so as not to be injured by the thunder tribulation and increase the difficulty of Bai Yuxian’s subsequent crossing of the tribulation.

Just as the mountain-protecting array was closed, a white-clothed figure walked out of the cave dwelling on the top of the mountain proactively. It was Bai Yuxian, the "Carefree Sect" sect master who had been in closed-door cultivation for more than ten years.

At this time, she was completely different from before closed-door cultivation. The aura emitted from her body had already far exceeded that of a Golden Core cultivator, obviously having already successfully transformed the fetus into the Nascent Soul in her body and advanced to the Nascent Soul realm.

However, although Bai Yuxian had already transformed the fetus into the Nascent Soul in her body at this moment, her physical body had not been baptized by the thunder tribulation, so she could not be counted as a real Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Heavenly Dao thunder tribulation that is about to be crossed next is the last step of forming the Nascent Soul. Only by successfully passing this hurdle can she use the thunder tribulation to temper her physical body and reach the Nascent Soul realm.

Looking at the thunder tribulation about to form in the sky, facing this last hurdle of breaking through to Nascent Soul, Bai Yuxian’s face was very solemn at this moment, and she knew very clearly in her heart that the next step was the most critical moment of her life’s Dao path.

If the tribulation crossing is successful, she will soar into the sky and stand at the top of this immortal cultivation world, becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator admired by thousands of people.

But if she fails, she will also be directly wiped out under the thunder tribulation and disappear from the world from then on.

No matter what the result is next, Bai Yuxian has no choice to retreat, and can only move forward to fight for her own line of life under the Heavenly Dao thunder tribulation.

Seeing Bai Yuxian fly into mid-air and summon her natal magic treasure "Green Jade

On one hand, they were sweating for Bai Yuxian as she underwent the tribulation; on the other hand, everyone's eyes were tightly fixed on the surroundings of "Guyang Peak" to prevent anyone from coming to cause trouble at this critical moment.

Previously, because of the protection of the mountain-guarding array and so many cultivators from the "Carefree Sect" guarding the perimeter, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator had come, it would have been impossible for them to easily approach "Guyang Peak."

But now, because of the Nascent Soul lightning tribulation, the sect had to temporarily shut down the mountain-guarding array, and the defensive strength of "Guyang Peak" had dropped significantly; if anyone wanted to come and obstruct the path, this was their best opportunity.

Therefore, the period of Bai Yuxian's tribulation was also the time when the people of the "Carefree Sect" were under the most pressure; once a mistake occurred and someone took advantage of the situation, the consequences for the sect would be unimaginable.

At the same time, inside a white cloud dozens of miles away from Guyang Mountain, a pair of eyes was also tightly fixed on the black clouds above the sky, the face full of surprise.

"I didn't expect that it would actually trigger the Heavenly Dao lightning tribulation. If we hadn't received the news in advance, our days would be quite difficult once the Carefree Sect gains another Nascent Soul cultivator.

Brother Molong, tell me, where exactly did you get this news? How could you calculate the time of this person's tribulation so precisely?"

Standing to the side and also staring at the lightning tribulation in the sky, Demon Emperor Molong, upon hearing the inquiry from Demon Emperor Chiyun, nodded directly and said: "Brother Chiyun is right. You and I conspired to attack Guiyun Workshop last time and have long since fallen out with the Carefree Sect.

If this person succeeds in the tribulation and breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, the Carefree Sect's strength will greatly increase, and they will definitely move north to compete with us for territory. By then, I'm afraid there won't be any room left for you and me.

No matter what, we cannot let them have their way this time. As long as we can stop this person's tribulation, the Carefree Sect will surely suffer heavy losses. When the next beast tide comes, we will still have a chance to move south and take the north of Wei Guo.

As for where this news came from, to be honest, I only found out by chance. You don't need to ask me about it anymore, brother. In short, the news is not fake."

"Hmm! Since things have reached this point, we are already here, so how can we miss this opportunity? Whether we can successfully obstruct the path or not, we must try. I will leave the arrangements entirely to you, brother."

"Good! Don't be in a hurry; let's wait until that person handles a few lightning strikes first."

The black clouds rolled and lightning flashed for a while, then a burst of white light suddenly flashed across the sky, illuminating the surroundings, followed by a thunderous roar that exploded in the air, heading straight for Bai Yuxian, who was in mid-air.

Just like what Song Qingming had seen back then, the power of the first Nascent Soul lightning tribulation was already no less than a full-strength strike from a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. If it were any other Core Formation cultivator present, this first lightning strike would have been enough to make it difficult for most of them to handle.

However, the protagonist of the tribulation, Bai Yuxian, remained very calm in the face of this first lightning strike, her expression not changing much.

She saw her transform her natal magic treasure directly into a green lotus, holding it above her head. Then, the green lotus began to grow rapidly, and in just a moment, it had turned into a towering tree over ten zhang tall.

With a loud bang, the lightning tribulation struck directly onto the green lotus, splitting the ten-zhang-tall lotus in two. Half of it disappeared into mid-air, and the other half was already completely charred black.

However, although this attack seemed to have devastated the green lotus, it did not completely destroy it. Soon, new green shoots emerged from its charred roots.

These newly grown green lotuses grew rapidly just like before, becoming a huge lotus flower, which also emitted bursts of five-colored golden light.

Bai Yuxian cultivated a wood-attribute technique; although she was not skilled in offense, her defense and recovery abilities were not weak.

The defensive capability of her natal magic treasure, "Green Jade Lotus," was even a step above the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" that Song Qingming cultivated.

This first lightning strike seemed very fierce, but in Bai Yuxian's eyes, it was not something she needed to worry about too much.

Having broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, although Bai Yuxian had not yet mastered the supernatural powers of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the magic power in her body was already no less than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, and the power of her natal magic treasure was also much stronger than before, so she no longer needed to use her full strength to deal with such an attack.

However, this first Nascent Soul lightning strike was also the weakest of the six. As long as a cultivator could reach this stage of the tribulation, they could basically handle it easily.

In general, few cultivators fall during the first three weaker lightning strikes; only the last three Nascent Soul lightning strikes are the easiest to fail.

Just as Bai Yuxian had finished preparing, the second lightning strike followed suit and fell rapidly toward her head. This time, as expected by everyone, it was forcibly caught by the natal magic treasure controlled by Bai Yuxian.

Immediately after, a third, more powerful lightning strike followed, and it was also blocked by Bai Yuxian using the same move.

However, this time, although Bai Yuxian's natal magic treasure "Green Jade Lotus" forcibly caught the lightning strike, the luster on the treasure dimmed a bit, clearly having suffered some damage.

"Senior Sister Bai's natal magic treasure is already damaged, why doesn't she use other magic treasures?"

As the fourth lightning strike was about to fall, seeing that Bai Yuxian still wanted to forcibly control her natal magic treasure "Green Jade Lotus" to block this fourth strike, the onlookers also showed some confusion on their faces.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Bai Yuxian did not hesitate too much, desperately pouring her own magic power into the "Green Jade Lotus," causing it to transform back into a giant lotus to block above her head.

As the fourth lightning strike fell, this attack, which already approached the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, shattered the lotus formed by the "Green Jade Lotus" as soon as it landed.

This time, Bai Yuxian, whose natal magic treasure was somewhat seriously damaged, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, then quickly withdrew her natal magic treasure.

Without the obstruction of the "Green Jade Lotus," the remaining lightning from the tribulation also quickly struck toward Bai Yuxian's head. At this critical moment, a silver spiritual talisman flew out from Bai Yuxian's hand, transforming into a giant turtle in mid-air to block the remaining lightning.

Seeing this scene, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, unable to help but sweat a little for Bai Yuxian's risky move just now.

The reason Bai Yuxian did this just now was also because she was afraid that the third-grade high-level defensive spiritual talisman in her hand would not be able to block this lightning strike, so she chose to first forcibly use her natal magic treasure to absorb a wave of the lightning's power, and only then used the spiritual talisman to steadily catch the attack.

Although this move was a bit risky and caused her some minor injuries, using only one third-grade high-level spiritual talisman to catch the fourth lightning strike also saved Bai Yuxian some extra tribulation-transcending items.

Just as Bai Yuxian had taken a healing elixir and hadn't yet had time to circulate her energy to refine it, bursts of roaring sounds echoed in the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

The next fifth lightning strike was even more powerful, already equivalent to an attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator. Bai Yuxian did not dare to be careless, directly taking out a golden array flag and casting a spell to activate a third-grade high-level defensive array that had been prepared long ago.

"Qiankun Soldier Armor Array!"

Seeing a huge set of golden armor appear out of thin air in front of Bai Yuxian, the somewhat worried expression on Song Qingming's face immediately calmed down a bit.

This third-grade high-level array was also a treasure stored in the "Carefree Sect's" treasury for thousands of years. Since the sect obtained this array, almost every generation of Nascent Soul cultivators had used it during their tribulations.

The "Qiankun Soldier Armor Array," like the "Tiangang Five Elements Array" in Song Qingming's hands, was also a third-grade high-level array with outstanding defensive capabilities, which could be used to deal with such powerful Nascent Soul lightning tribulations.

Bai Yuxian herself was a high-level array master, and her ability to control arrays was much stronger than Feng He, who had undergone the tribulation back then. The power that the "Qiankun Soldier Armor Array" could exert in her hands would surely be even better.

Seeing Bai Yuxian take out this array to deal with the last two lightning strikes, the onlookers also immediately felt a bit more excited, and their confidence in her passing the tribulation increased a little more.

However, just at the critical moment when the fifth lightning strike was about to fall, a mass of black light suddenly flew rapidly from the sky not far away, heading straight for "Guyang Peak," where Bai Yuxian was undergoing the tribulation.

"Who goes there, daring to come to my Carefree Sect to cause trouble!"

Although the black light was extremely fast, far exceeding the scope of a Core Formation cultivator, Li Mufeng, who had been on guard on the side, reacted quickly and used the magic treasure in his hand to intercept it before the black light could get close to "Guyang Peak."

Seeing this scene, the people of the "Carefree Sect" immediately realized that someone was trying to take advantage of the situation to cause trouble and hurriedly flew to Li Mufeng's side.

At the same time, more than a dozen figures descended from the sky not far away, led by the "Carefree Sect's" old rivals, "Demon Emperor Molong" and "Demon Emperor Chiyun."

Behind the two demon emperors were more than a dozen Core Formation demon kings, most of whom emitted pressure that had already reached the late stage of Core Formation, and the weakest ones were at the peak of the mid-stage of Core Formation.

Seeing the numerous demon experts led by "Demon Emperor Molong" appear, clearly prepared and specifically here to obstruct the tribulation, Li Mufeng could not help but show a look of gravity on his face.

"Two fellow Daoists, this is Guyang Mountain, the territory of our human cultivators. You come here today to cause trouble; could it be that you don't want to go back?"

"Hmph! Li Mufeng, you really have a big mouth. In today's situation, do you think that without the mountain-guarding array, you have the ability to stop our two families from joining forces?"

Hearing Li Mufeng's warning, "Demon Emperor Molong" did not care at all.

The dozen or so demon kings they brought to "Guyang Mountain" this time were all the most elite forces of the two families, with the lowest cultivation at the peak of the mid-stage of Core Formation.

And their main purpose was to prevent Bai Yuxian from undergoing the tribulation, not to fight to the death with the "Carefree Sect" here.

Without the help of the mountain-guarding array, it was absolutely impossible for the "Carefree Sect" to completely block them with their current strength and prevent Bai Yuxian, who was undergoing the tribulation, from being disturbed in the slightest.

After the two sides greeted each other, "Demon Emperor Molong," knowing that time was precious, did not give the "Carefree Sect" people a chance to delay and directly led the numerous demon experts to kill their way toward "Guyang Peak."

"Stop them! Today, we must not let a single demon king pass!" Seeing this, Li Mufeng gave an order and took the lead, holding a flying sword to step forward and block "Demon Emperor Molong," who had the highest cultivation.

Song Qingming, Li Wutong, and Chen Xuanxin immediately took out their array flags and, together with the spirit beast Wind Ape that had just arrived, formed the "Vajra Heavenly Net Array" to block the other Nascent Soul demon powerhouse, "Demon Emperor Chiyun."

The rest of the people fought to the death to block the other Core Formation demon kings, keeping them outside "Guyang Peak."

On the demon side, besides the two demon emperors, a total of twelve Core Formation demon kings came, including seven late-stage Core Formation demon kings, and the remaining five were also at the peak of the mid-stage of Core Formation.

As for the "Carefree Sect" side, excluding Song Qingming, Li Wutong, Chen Xuanxin, and the spirit beast Wind Ape who were dealing with "Demon Emperor Chiyun," the only late-stage Core Formation expert among the remaining Core Formation cultivators was Li Xianyun.

Zhao Mengling, Jin Ziyuan, Chu Fengping, Xu Ziyan, Zhang Tieyang, and Huang Siyuan were at the mid-stage of Core Formation, while Fang Baixuan, Yun Nishang, Zhou Ziyang, and the sect's third-grade puppet beast "Golden-Winged Flying Tiger" only had the strength of the early stage of Core Formation.

Although the number of Core Formation cultivators was not much different from the opponent's, facing twelve Core Formation demon experts, the "Carefree Sect" side was clearly at a disadvantage, and the battle quickly fell behind as soon as it started.

Even though they knew their cultivation was not as good as the opponent's, behind them was "Guyang Peak," where Bai Yuxian was undergoing the tribulation. At this critical moment concerning the life and death of the sect, no one dared to take a step back, and everyone chose to fight to the death.

Fortunately, Li Xianyun, who had already broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, possessed sword cultivator supernatural powers and had very strong fighting capabilities. With one person and one sword, he blocked three late-stage Core Formation demon kings from the other side without falling behind.

With Li Xianyun sharing a lot of pressure for the others, plus the help of the third-grade "Flying Cloud Crossbows" operated by hundreds of Foundation Establishment disciples on the ground, the situation of the entire battlefield was temporarily stabilized and did not collapse quickly.

Bai Yuxian, who was preparing to deal with the lightning tribulation, had also noticed the numerous demon kings who had come to obstruct the tribulation not far away, and could not help but feel a bit worried.

However, before she could worry about the battlefield, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the fifth lightning strike had already begun to descend rapidly toward her location.

Seeing this, Bai Yuxian immediately concentrated her mind and exerted all her strength to activate the array flag in her hand to meet the lightning strike that was falling toward her.

The power of this fifth lightning strike was already comparable to a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator. Facing such a powerful attack, Bai Yuxian did not dare to be negligent. In addition to operating the "Qiankun Soldier Armor Array" in her hand, she also cast a spell to release another third-grade high-level spiritual talisman to assist in dealing with the lightning strike.

With a thunderous crash, the ground around "Guyang Peak" immediately began to tremble violently, making it difficult for the Foundation Establishment disciples who were operating the "Flying Cloud Crossbows" to stand steady.

As the smoke cleared, Bai Yuxian's figure standing on the mountaintop was slowly revealed.

Seeing her still safe and sound, standing proudly in the air, and even the "Qiankun Soldier Armor Array" beside her had not been completely destroyed by the lightning tribulation, a hint of excitement appeared on the faces of the "Carefree Sect" people.

Now that Bai Yuxian had passed five lightning strikes and her condition was not bad, as long as she could endure the final lightning strike, she would be able to advance directly to the Nascent Soul realm.

By then, the mountain-guarding array could be restored, and these demon experts who had come to obstruct the tribulation would have failed, and could only retreat in disgrace.

Seeing the final heavenly lightning forming above Bai Yuxian's head, "Demon Emperor Molong," who was entangled with Li Mufeng, suddenly shouted at the empty air:

"We've already reached this point, brother, don't hide anymore. Could it be that you still want to sit by and watch this person achieve the Nascent Soul Great Dao!"

As soon as "Demon Emperor Molong's" voice fell, a golden light suddenly flashed in the previously empty air, and then a fat old man wearing a golden crown walked out from the golden light.

"Demon Emperor Tiebi!"

Seeing the old man who suddenly appeared in mid-air, who was actually another demon emperor whose cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul realm, the expressions of the "Carefree Sect" people changed instantly, and they all showed expressions of shock.

This "Demon Emperor Tiebi" was originally an iron-armored giant turtle, a Nascent Soul demon emperor in "Taiyue Lake" in the southwest of Wei Guo, who managed all the aquatic demon beasts on the east side of the entire Taiyue Lake.

It was rumored that this Nascent Soul demon emperor had lived in "Taiyue Lake" for nearly ten thousand years, and his cultivation had long reached the peak of the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, just one step away from entering the late stage of Nascent Soul.

Seeing this powerful Nascent Soul demon emperor suddenly appear, the "Carefree Sect" people who were fighting hard against the demon race, in addition to being shocked, also showed a bit of despair.

Originally, in the battle against the demon experts, the "Carefree Sect" side was already at a disadvantage and could only barely hold off the opponents in front of them; no one could spare any effort.

Now that another powerful Nascent Soul demon emperor had appeared, everyone had no extra strength to block the opponent, and I'm afraid they could only watch helplessly as "Demon Emperor Tiebi" went to obstruct the tribulation.

"Hehe! Li Mufeng, you didn't expect that I could invite Brother Tiebi here this time, did you!"

"To think that you could even invite Demon Emperor Tiebi, who hasn't shown his face for thousands of years; your Excellency really has a grand hand."

Hearing the triumphant words of "Demon Emperor Molong" on the side, Li Mufeng, who was holding a magic treasure to force back his opponent, did not show much panic on his face, and then turned to ask "Demon Emperor Tiebi" in the distance: "Fellow Daoist Tiebi, our sect and you have always kept to our own affairs over the years. Are you really here to obstruct the tribulation this time?"
