Chapter 146: [Who is the Winner, Peerless True Immortal] (First update, begging for votes)

The blood-colored lightning was not a punishment, but the final step to complete the Nether Rakshasa Body.

Several Land Immortals watched helplessly as Kongming Ancestor completed the sacrifice, sacrificing all the elders and disciples of the Kongming Immortal Sect, as well as numerous living beings and corpses.

Finally, he completed the transformation.

A black vortex formed, and light filled with the aura of desolation and death shrouded down.

Yuding Immortal and the others quickly dodged.

"This is the ascension ceremony of the Netherworld!"

Yuding Immortal clearly had more knowledge; after seeing the vortex, he immediately had the relevant information.

Kongming Ancestor was pulled by the traction, flew above the abyss, looked at the few people surrounding him, and revealed a smile.

Then, the divine ability 【Avici Hell】 inherent to the Nether Rakshasa Body was activated.

In an instant, the four Land Immortals were all controlled within a piece of Nether Hell. They hurriedly urged their Dharma treasures to break free, but they were unable to escape.

Their bodies were constantly eroded by the Nether Qi, and they felt their own Immortal Spirit Qi being consumed rapidly. The bodies that had originally been transformed by the Immortal Spirit Qi were actually polluted!

They struggled hard and finally broke free, but the figure of Kongming Ancestor was already gone.

It was not that they successfully broke free, but that Kongming Ancestor was taken away by the Netherworld, the divine ability was lifted, and they just then broke free.

Kongming Ancestor, possessing the Nether Rakshasa Body, already had the strength of the True Immortal Realm or even stronger, far from what the few of them could deal with.

Although the few of them had broken free, they were eroded by the Nether Qi, and their cultivation and Immortal bodies were severely damaged, even endangering their life origin and true spirit.

Among them, Yuntuan Immortal had achieved the Land Immortal Realm for the shortest time, his cultivation was the weakest, and the damage he received was the most severe.

He felt that his origin was damaged, his lifespan was weakened, and he might even be unable to ascend.

After apologizing to the others, he hurriedly returned to his sect to treat himself immediately.

The other three also left immediately to treat themselves.

The matter was over, and the immortal sects could be said to have been utterly defeated.

Kongming Ancestor's plan succeeded; he refined the Nether Rakshasa Body and successfully ascended, while the four Land Immortals not only failed to stop the opponent, but were instead injured in their origin by a casual attack from the opponent before he left.

They lost the lady and the army.

It seemed that the only winner was Kongming Ancestor alone.

But in fact, there were two other people who picked up the scraps in this matter.

One was the Lietian Corpse King.

It was originally suspected to be the mastermind of this matter, but in reality, it had nothing to do with it.

But this event benefited it greatly; with the help of these blood energies and death energies, it successfully stepped into the Corpse King level, which was the same level as a Land Immortal.

However, it still hid in an unknown place and had no intention of showing itself.

The other beneficiary was naturally Lu Runping, who had been slacking off the whole time.

Who could have thought that Kongming Ancestor directly took the lives of all the disciples and elders of the sect, and among these people, there were several who possessed his divine ability Dao Seeds!

Within the Kongming Immortal Sect, eight people possessed the 【Size as Desired】 Dao Seed, three of whom were at the Nascent Soul Realm, and the remaining five were all Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarchs.

Of the five Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarchs, one died in the last demon chaos, and now there were four left.

Lu Runping harvested four Dao Fruits of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm at once.

Two First-Turn Heavenly Monarchs, two Second-Turn Heavenly Monarchs!

Kongming Ancestor blood-sacrificed the Divine Continent. At this moment, the various immortal sects were desolate, in a depressed atmosphere of being successfully manipulated by demons. Lu Runping's avatar naturally would not show how happy he was.

But the main body in the Xihai Bingchuan Yu could no longer control the corners of his mouth from rising.

These were four Divine Soul Dao Fruits of Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarchs. After eating one, he could possess the primordial spirit of the Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarch level in advance, which was of huge help for him to comprehend the Small Self Dao, achieve Great Vehicle Realm perfection, and step into the Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarch level.

Looking at it now, the idea of taking the risk to sow seeds in the three major sects back then was truly a brilliant move. Now, with such a harvest, he could help himself improve his cultivation step by step.

Lu Runping did not hesitate. The main body could infinitely fuse Dao Fruits; he directly picked up a Divine Soul Dao Fruit of a Second-Turn Heavenly Monarch and began to refine and fuse it.

In just three days, the refinement was completed, and his primordial spirit was promoted to the Second-Turn Heavenly Monarch level.

One must know that the primordial spirit of a Second-Turn Heavenly Monarch had experienced the baptism of two lightning tribulations and had undergone two qualitative changes itself, which was very rare.

In terms of Dao comprehension, a primordial spirit with promoted quality had more aptitude.

What was important was that when he used his divine abilities, the power was stronger.

Lu Runping now had confidence that if he used the 【Embryonic Transformation】 divine ability true body to sneak into an immortal sect, those Land Immortals wouldn't be able to see through him if they didn't have any special treasures.

Of course, for the sake of safety, he didn't have the idea of entering a top-tier immortal sect with his true body; it was quite good in the Xihai Bingchuan Yu now.

Taking advantage of the promotion of his primordial spirit level and having many insights, he immediately continued his comprehension of the 【Taiyin True Water】 great divine ability.

On the other side, Lu Runping's avatar, Lv Gong, was still continuing to slay demons and eliminate monsters. It was only three months after the great event of Kongming Ancestor's ascension that he returned to the sect.

The first thing he did upon returning to the sect was to enter the main hall to plead guilty to the Sect Master.

"It is only my fault that I could not find the root cause, and I was single-mindedly devoted to the slaughter of zombie demons, failing to discover Kongming Ancestor's hidden evil intentions in advance, which actually caused such a great disaster and led to the sacrifice of Elder Zhenyi. My fault is too great."

Lu Runping looked very decadent. A dignified Dao Harmonizing Layman actually had a sallow complexion and was very haggard, looking as if he had suffered some huge mental torture.

Seeing him like this, everyone felt a sigh.

Xue Yunzi even spoke out to comfort him:

"You don't have to be like this. I know you are single-mindedly devoted to eliminating demons and defending the Dao, but Kongming Ancestor planned for thousands of years and also had the identity of an immortal sect; it is normal that you couldn't detect it. This matter cannot be blamed on you; there are many people responsible for this matter.

You must not damage your Dao heart because of this!"

Fairy Qing Yang also followed up to soothe him:

"You must not hurt yourself. Kongming Ancestor acted perversely; he was originally an evil demon who turned into an immortal sect ancestor. This matter is our oversight as old folks. Elder Zhenyi's death has nothing to do with you.

First there was the demon chaos, then the zombie calamity. In this era where demons and monsters are rampant, you should cheer up even more and revive the prestige of our immortal sect!"

Here, Sect Master Nong Yunqian finally found an opportunity to speak.

"Elder Lv, you have eliminated so many demons and monsters and solved the problems for countless people. Such merit is recorded in the Immortal World. This time, you have no fault, but great merit. You should go and recuperate as soon as possible to stabilize your Dao heart. The younger generation of our Heaven Imperial Immortal Sect still needs you to carry the banner."

Lu Runping listened to everyone's words, his expression gradually changed, and finally, he revealed a firm look, looked at Nong Yunqian, and said:

"I understand the Sect Master's meaning! I originally thought that by breaking through to the Dao Harmonizing Realm, I could prevent many tragedies from happening and prevent demons and monsters from wreaking havoc on the human world, but now I find that I was just being played in the palm of their hands.

My strength is still too low. I want to continue bitter cultivation and strive to become a Land Immortal as soon as possible. On that day, I will surely sweep away the demons and monsters in the world!"

After speaking, he turned and left. Looking at his back, it was as if one could see a peerless True Immortal emerging!

At this time, an elder spoke leisurely:

"Elder Xue, your disciple has high aspirations. A two-hundred-year-old Dao Harmonizing Realm seems to be nothing in his eyes; he is actually thinking of stepping into the Land Immortal Realm in one breath."

Hearing this, everyone felt inexplicable, as if they had been satirized.

In their eyes, the two-hundred-year-old Dao Harmonizing Realm was incomparably enviable and shocking, but in the eyes of this junior, it seemed like nothing. He was single-mindedly thinking of slaying demons and eliminating monsters, and achieving the Land Immortal Realm was also for this purpose.

You being like this makes us look very vulgar, hey!

Fairy Qing Yang spoke again:

"He has a heart of innocence, a pure mind, and treats people with pure kindness. That is probably the reason why he can break through his cultivation so quickly. With such persistence, perhaps he will soon surpass us, achieve the Tribulation Transcendence Heavenly Monarch, and even step further into the Land Immortal Realm; it is not impossible.

I think we should tilt resources towards him. Such a top-tier heavenly pride has a very high hope of becoming a Land Immortal who guards the immortal sect in the future, and he should be protected."

Xue Yunzi said worriedly:

"I am only afraid that this disciple is too rigid, single-mindedly devoted to eliminating demons and defending the Dao, and what if he encounters powerful demons and monsters wreaking havoc and doesn't know how to retreat."

Nong Yunqian coughed lightly and said:

"Regarding Elder Lv, I have my own arrangements; you can rest assured. Let's discuss the post-disaster arrangements for this calamity again."

After the meeting ended, Nong Yunqian was summoned and hurriedly arrived at the highest peak of the immortal sect, the Heaven Imperial Peak.

"See the Immortal!"

In front of him was a middle-aged man wearing a white robe with hair scattered casually, looking about thirty or forty years old.

Yuntuan Immortal waved his hand and said:

"Junior Brother Nong, you don't have to care so much about empty etiquette, sit down, I have an important matter to discuss with you."

Hearing this, Nong Yunqian sat on the futon in front of Yuntuan Immortal and said with a smile:

"Senior Brother Jiang, the etiquette that should be there is still necessary. You have already become an Immortal, and your identity is different."

Yuntuan Immortal shook his head and said:

"Forget it, you are just like this, I won't say much more. I called you here because I have an important matter to discuss with you. I am severely injured, unable to ascend, and only have a thousand years of lifespan left."

"What!? Was it caused by that Kongming Ancestor? Is there really no way to recover? Is Immortal Crystal not working either?"

Nong Yunqian was shocked, because Yuntuan Immortal had just succeeded to the position not long ago, and at this time, the Heaven Imperial Immortal Sect did not have a Third-Turn Heavenly Monarch at all. Without a new Land Immortal, if Yuntuan Immortal was gone, the Heaven Imperial Immortal Sect would inevitably suffer a great disaster.

Yuntuan Immortal sighed.

"I have used all the methods I could use. When Kongming Ancestor ascended, he already possessed strength surpassing an ordinary True Immortal Realm. If it weren't for the Netherworld forcibly taking him away, I am afraid the four of us would have already fallen.

Among the four, my cultivation is the lowest, my Immortal Spirit Qi was consumed, leading to damage to my Immortal body, and my Immortal foundation can no longer be restored. Relying on Immortal Crystals, I can continue to live for about a thousand years. After a thousand years, I will absolutely be unable to survive.

I called you here this time to ask you, in our Heaven Imperial Immortal Sect now, is there anyone who has hope of stepping into the Land Immortal Realm within a thousand years?"

Achieving the Land Immortal Realm, where is it so easy? Now there are three Second-Turn Heavenly Monarchs in the sect, but they, including Nong Yunqian himself, have no certainty that they can pass the third heavenly tribulation.

It can even be said that they are all about to choose to give up.

Nong Yunqian's mind was very chaotic, but at this time, the back of a person suddenly appeared. ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
