Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

Yunluo Immortal draped her gaze in icy detachment, frantically powering the Green Vine Cauldron to grind the incoming Evil Ghost Sword to pieces.

Zhou Yuan, the true cultivator, spurred the crimson Magic Sword in his hand, flames surging upwards, enveloping the Evil Ghost Sword and reducing it to ash.

With a wave of his hand, Luo Xing, the true cultivator, released a multitude of Star Chess Pieces, their dazzling starlight brilliance smashing the Evil Ghost Sword to bits.

The White Ghost Emperor's face contorted fiercely as he effortlessly crushed the Evil Ghost Sword with a single claw.

The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor threw two consecutive punches, pulverizing the approaching Evil Ghost Sword before quietly standing in front of Zhao Yu.

The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor was stronger than the White Ghost Emperor, and its defensive capabilities were far superior to the latter, making it the ultimate Guardian.

Another Evil Ghost Sword, swift as lightning, flew towards an empty spot, attempting to escape from there.

With a savage grin splitting his face, the White Ghost Emperor, his body swirling with dark energy, almost instantly appeared in front of the sword, bringing down a ferocious claw.

The Evil Ghost Sword twisted violently and revealed the true form of Bai Yuan, the true cultivator. Gritting his teeth, he immediately offered up a pitch-black magical treasure shield to guard himself.

Clang!

The White Ghost Emperor's claw struck the pitch-black magical treasure shield, sending it flying.

A dark afterimage flickered faintly as the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor materialized like a specter behind Bai Yuan and smashed his heart with a punch.

A Nascent Soul burst forth from the Heavenly Spirit Cover atop Bai Yuan's head, fleeing desperately towards the northwest.

The White Ghost Emperor reached out with a claw, snatched Bai Yuan's Nascent Soul in his grasp, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it whole.

Upon Bai Yuan's death, the three magical treasures he had been wielding lost their power and were seized by Yunluo Immortal and the other two great Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Zhao Yu reached out, taking Bai Yuan's storage bag and body into his hands.

Luo Xing, the venerable one, barked, "Hold up, Zhao Yu! Bai Yuan was slain by the four of us together. The treasures within his storage bag should naturally be divided among us four! Hand over his storage bag!"

A flicker of cold light crossed Zhao Yu's eyes as he said icily, "Luo Xing the venerable one, although Bai Yuan was killed by our joint efforts, the heaviest blow was dealt by me and Yunluo Immortal! Since we're dividing the spoils, it should naturally be based on contribution! Luo Xing the venerable one, I believe you contributed the least, so hand over the magical treasure you just collected!"

Neither Luo Xing, the venerable one, nor Zhou Yuan, the true cultivator, had given their all when attacking Bai Yuan just now, focusing instead mostly on their own defense.

Only Yunluo Immortal had served as the main offensive force, exerting immense pressure on Bai Yuan and forcing him to flee quickly. The two Nascent Soul Cultivators hadn't exerted much effort, yet sought the choicest portion of the spoils, which naturally displeased Zhao Yu.

Luo Xing, the venerable one, roared in anger, "Impudent! A mere Golden Core cultivator dares to be so disrespectful to us seniors of the Nascent Soul! You clearly don't understand the rules of the Cultivation World, you fool! Hand over the storage bag and kneel to apologize to me! Otherwise, we Nascent Soul Cultivators will never let you go!"

A glint of cold light flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes as he retorted, "The rules of the Cultivation World? The real fool who doesn't understand the Cultivation World's rules is you, Luo Xing the venerable one! The rule of the Cultivation World is that the strong prevail! When something can't be settled, decide it with Magical Combat!

Luo Xing the venerable one, you either kneel and apologize to me, handing over the Myriad Ghosts Cauldron, or battle me with magic. The loser loses everything!"

"Insolence!!"

The Falling Star Elder's face turned red with anger, yet he looked at the White Ghost Emperor and the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor with apprehension and dared not accept Zhao Yu's challenge.

Both the White Ghost Emperor and the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor were extremely terrifying Fourth-Order Monsters, each far surpassing an ordinary Fourth Order Low-Grade Transformed Great Demon. The Falling Star Elder was only a Nascent Soul Second Layer cultivator, he might have had a few tricks up his sleeve, but he still dared not accept Zhao Yu's challenge.

True Lord Zhou Yuan hesitated for a while, then acted as if he had seen nothing at all, utterly unwilling to meddle in the Feud between the Falling Star Elder and Zhao Yu. Although he also thought Zhao Yu, the Golden Core cultivator, was being excessively rude and arrogant, he certainly did not want to offend a strong entity like Zhao Yu without good reason.

Yunluo Fairy said coldly, "Falling Star Elder, what Daoist Zhao says is correct! Since there is a conflict between you two, then resolve it according to the rules of the Cultivation World, through a Magical Combat! If you win, True Lord Bai Yuan's storage bag will be yours! If you lose, then hand over the Myriad Ghosts Cauldron!"

Yunluo Fairy hated the four great Demon Sects to the bone. She was well aware that the Falling Star Elder had conserved his strength during the previous battle. Moreover, Zhao Yu, a man of loyalty and justice who hailed from Yunluo Immortal City, was naturally her best ally.

"Humph! Unreasonable!"

The Falling Star Elder snorted coldly and executed an Escape Technique, flying towards the Holy Cloud Flying Palace.

True Lord Zhou Yuan also flew towards the Holy Cloud Flying Palace.

Yunluo Fairy said, "Zhao Yu, I'm heading out to hunt down the Nascent Soul cultivators of the great Demon Sects! Would you care to join me?"

Zhao Yu smiled faintly and replied, "I would be honored to lend my strength to the City Lord!"

Yunluo Fairy was also the City Lord of Yunluo Immortal City, one of the two Sects, two Factions, and one City. Even though Yunluo Immortal City could not compare with the other four major factions in terms of resources, Yunluo Fairy possessed the Spiritual Treasure, the Green Vine Cauldron, and her combat power was comparable to that of top Mid-Nascent Soul Cultivators.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She was also Zhao Yu's best ally.

Zhao Yu also despised the actions of the four great Demon Sects, and if there was a chance to eliminate the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Demon Sects, he certainly would not miss it.

Yunluo Fairy and Zhao Yu transformed into two beams of Escape Light and flew away.

Before long, the besieged True Lord Evil Bone appeared before Zhao Yu and Yunluo Fairy.

At that moment, True Lord Evil Bone had transformed into a ten-zhang-tall monstrosity covered with a layer of pitch-black evil bones, its skeleton adorned with eerie human faces, radiating the aura of a Nascent Soul Fifth Layer—a terrifying creature.

True Lord Black Sword, Wandering Master Qing Feng, True Lord Kuang Dao, and True Lord San Jue, four great Nascent Soul cultivators, surrounded and attacked, breaking the bones of the True Lord Evil Bone and causing the eerie human faces on it to burst open continuously.

"True Lord Black Sword, let me lend you a hand!"

Yunluo Fairy shouted, directly summoning the Green Vine Cauldron. A sky filled with green Spirit Silk shot toward True Lord Evil Bone.

"Damn it!!"

A glimmer of despair flashed in True Lord Evil Bone's eyes. With a fierce shout, he slapped the Heavenly Spirit Cover, and a Nascent Soul flew out from within, clutching his Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Evil Bone Demon Spear, and flew into the distance.

The White Ghost Emperor smiled, revealing a set of fangs, darkness swirling around him. With a leap, he appeared behind the escaping Nascent Soul of True Lord Evil Bone, his claw piercing through it. He then grabbed the Nascent Soul of True Lord Evil Bone and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing vigorously.

True Lord Black Sword and the other three great Nascent Soul cultivators watched this scene with a hint of wariness in their eyes.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator, escaping by leaving the body as a Nascent Soul was one of their strongest escape methods. Even the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor could not catch up to a Nascent Soul in flight, only a monster like the White Ghost Emperor could pursue and hunt it down.
