Immortal Road.

The cursed spirit trembled, truly terrified when it saw the other party heading straight for it!
He was originally a worthless primordial spirit, yet he went to someone else's territory to undergo tribulation, dragging so many people down with him. Could he really survive?

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Shan's orders were hard to disobey, it would have run away long ago!
But now that it's been targeted by the old man in the straw raincoat, if it doesn't run away, it's just waiting to die.

"Run into the crowd below!"

Upon hearing Lin Shan's instructions, this guy promptly dashed into the area below where the Penglai disciples were gathered.

Now another large wave of lightning strikes has been cast down, causing harm to countless people.

The old man in the straw raincoat was furious, fearing that it would harm more disciples, so he chased after it and wouldn't let go. Two streaks of light were seen darting around.

Compared to the Annihilation Avatar, the Cursed Spirit has no bottom line, not even sparing low-level disciples, using anyone as a shield.

The old man in the straw raincoat was hesitant to act rashly, and could only watch helplessly as it harmed more and more people!
"Sect Leader Lin, raising a cursed spirit and having a second tribulation awaiting us—truly impressive! You must have made considerable preparations for this day, haven't you?"

The Holy Lord of Penglai gritted his teeth in hatred. The losses suffered by the Holy Land today were almost comparable to the spiritual tide of ten thousand years!

The key point is that the opponent didn't stop after using this underhanded trick once; they used the same trick again, showing no regard for Penglai at all, which is equivalent to unleashing a powerful attack right in their face.

"Heh, you overestimate yourselves. It just so happens that we've come across this situation and are using you as scapegoats."

Lin Shan retorted sharply, recalling Penglai's domineering attitude back then, forcibly going to the Luosong Mountains to refine the Red Lotus Ancestor, which was even worse than his own. Today, he would simply retaliate in kind.

"But I've also heard that Leader Lin keeps evil spirits and even uses them openly on multiple occasions. How do you explain that?"

The Holy Lord of Penglai actually managed to find out this, and publicly declared that he wanted to make Lin Shan a public enemy of the continent and ruin his reputation.

Lin Shan naturally wouldn't admit it and immediately denied it outright.

"That's nonsense! You Penglai people love to smear others. You harmed so many people ten thousand years ago, and now you want to do the same to me? I won't believe it!"

As he spoke, taking advantage of the fact that most of the eyes and attention on the field were focused on the cursed spirit, he quietly moved closer to Qugong.

Unbeknownst to them, the battlefield had shifted, and others were secretly carrying out their plans.

Qu Gong fought with increasing ferocity, mainly because he had obtained the armor of Venerable Yu She and was protected by the Tongtian Lingbao, making him virtually immune to all magic!
In addition, he was originally the true form and focused on body training, which made him like a fierce war god. Even with the Water Dividing Flag, the Holy Lord of Penglai could not suppress him and could only passively restrain him.

Suddenly, he sensed Qu Gong rising up to counterattack. His massive body leaped into the air, and both demon heads grinned sinisterly. A pair of dark vortexes appeared unexpectedly, instantly captivating his attention!

"Soul-Stealing Demon Eye!"

This is the Twin Demons' ultimate skill, which can stun the opponent for a short time, dragging their mind into a vortex and causing them to lose their way.

The Venerable Yu She, who was closest to him, was prepared. He immediately abandoned his opponent, turned around, and revealed a snake tail behind his robe, pointing at the void.

"Deep Sea Mystery!"

The water elements around the Water Dividing Flag instantly lost control of the Holy Lord of Penglai. In the instant his mind was taken over, Venerable Yushe took control, which instead became a shackle binding him.

The Demon Dog Lord, who had been getting whipped all along, stopped barking. A cunning glint appeared in his eyes for no reason. He shuddered, and patches of black skin hidden under his fur were flung out, instantly forming a vast curtain that covered the incarnation of the Holy Lord of Penglai!

Woooooooo~
Inside, the Holy Lord of Penglai was seen writhing and thrashing about, constantly struggling and trying to break free, but the large dog skin completely covered him up, even tightening its grip.

Lin Shan had been waiting for a long time, and the Soul-Devouring Prison Light Cage descended from the sky as the final barrier!
This series of actions happened in the blink of an eye; it was a well-planned combo designed to trap the Holy Lord of Penglai and restrict all his movements.

Qu Gong grinned maliciously, raised his large fist, bulging all the muscles in his body, and slammed it down hard!

"Not good~"

The other avatar of the Holy Lord of Penglai tried to rescue him, but it was too late, as the blow had already landed heavily on him.

Bang!
A huge muffled thud resounded, the dog-skin coat shattered instantly, and the surrounding seawater churned and splashed everywhere, while only the light cage of the Devouring Soul Prison remained suspended in mid-air.

The Holy Lord of Penglai barely survived thanks to the water-dividing flag.

However, the flag of the water-dividing flag was severely damaged, with Qu Gong, that brute, making a big hole in it!

"my darling."

Even the most powerful magical treasures are not omnipotent. Moreover, non-defensive magical treasures risk damage if they are subjected to a full-force attack from a body-refining cultivator.

This really distressed both the Holy Lord of Penglai and Venerable Yushe.

"stop!"

"stop!"

Qu Gonghui didn't stop. Instead, he swung his right fist and then switched to his left, roaring at Venerable Yushe.

"Don't hold me back, this isn't going to stop!"

"No, you've broken this treasure! What will I do then?"

Venerable Yushe shouted at the top of his lungs, his eyes filled with anxiety.

On the other side, another avatar of the Holy Lord of Penglai had already summoned two demon puppets, six powerful cultivators, and even the Void Toad to relentlessly pursue the Demon Dog Lord, attempting to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao!
"Woof woof, help me!"

The scene was chaotic, with everyone fighting their own battles and no one able to look after anyone else.

In order to maintain their advantage, Qu Gong relentlessly attacked the Holy Lord of Penglai, with Lin Shan assisting from the side. Venerable Yu She was so anxious that he was jumping up and down, fearing that they would damage his magical treasure.

And now the cursed spirit has reached a critical moment, which is the fourth lightning tribulation after the third nine lightning tribulation!

At this point, even the old man in the straw raincoat could not handle the situation with ease and could only stop the pursuit to help himself get through the crisis.

The Penglai disciples below suffered heavy casualties, whether they were at the Nascent Soul or Golden Core stage, or at the Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining stage. At one point, the number of casualties was close to 10,000. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the area was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!
They survived two tribulations in a row, and only a handful of people managed to pull through, but they are definitely ruthless!

The sea monsters and the army of magical beasts suffered even more deaths, but the two in the sky didn't care much; they were just cannon fodder, so what if they died?

The illusory image of the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool layered upon layer, plowing the entire island again and again, thoroughly covering and baptizing it with lightning and fire. Not a single building remained intact, and the land was scorched black, a sight that was heartbreaking to behold.

A round little thunder otter with shifty eyes was digging a hole in the ground, sneaking around and secretly licking the remaining lightning. It looked around every now and then, just like a guilty thief.

The cursed spirit screamed in agony.

It struggled during the fourth nine-day lightning tribulation, barely managing to survive the fifth nine-day lightning tribulation with all its might. When the sixth nine-day lightning tribulation struck, it experienced the intense threat of death for the first time.

"Master, save me!"

Hearing the call from afar, Lin Shan knew that this coward was definitely not going to survive the Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation. If he let it go, he would definitely fail and not be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage. He would also lose a great helper.

Forced to act, he directed his newly awakened, consolidating-his-realm-breaking avatar to hold off the Holy Lord of Penglai, while he himself went to help. "Mountains cease, rivers flow, wind and grain rise, the universe unfolds, the boundless earth is hidden!"

As he manipulated the Hidden Earth Plate in his hand, this Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure began to mobilize the earth veins of the entire Penglai Holy Land. The island shook violently, and surging spiritual energy overflowed. Three white mist dragons actually rose into the air below!

The old man in the straw raincoat was startled by what he saw!
"You brat, how dare you extract the spiritual veins of my Penglai? Stop right now!"

Lin Shan ignored the question and made up his mind to use the three super-grade spiritual veins under the Penglai Holy Land as scapegoats. He would use the characteristics of the Tongtian spiritual treasure to extract them and help the cursed spirit overcome its tribulation and ward off disaster!

He didn't dare to directly participate in the tribulation, but planned to take a roundabout approach, using the auspicious location of Penglai to fuel the cursed spirit.

Of course, it's hard to say whether this place will still be a blessed land after this battle.

Rumble, rumble~~~
A massive bolt of lightning flashed down, and the cursed spirit trembled in fear, but surprisingly, it was unharmed. It used the mist dragon formed from the superior spiritual vein to refine and block the damage in front of it, thus avoiding most of the harm.

On the other hand, the old man in the straw raincoat was hacked open, his skin torn and bleeding profusely.

He was reluctant to use his own spiritual veins to overcome the tribulation, as this self-destructive approach was tantamount to uprooting the sacred Penglai Land. However, seeing outsiders using it without hesitation, he felt as if his heart was being torn apart!
"you wanna die!!!"

He wanted to make a move against Lin Shan, but Lin Shan was already prepared and didn't give him any distance.

They could only watch helplessly as the other party used the Heavenly Treasure to completely manipulate the spiritual veins accumulated on Penglai Island over countless years, ruining a mere cursed spirit's breakthrough to the primordial spirit realm!

Both underwent simultaneous lightning tribulations, one after another. Despite their vastly different strengths, the results were completely different.

Finally, the final moment arrived. The final act of the 6954 lightning tribulations was about to begin when a deafening roar came from the sky!

"Die, you holy master!"

"Woof~ woof."

The Demon Dog Lord could not withstand the siege of so many of his own kind and became the first primordial spirit to fall in this battle!

"This Great Lord only has one Yuan Nian avatar, and you lot have tricked me. I'll settle the score with you when I get back."

It fell from the sky, filled with deep resentment.

It is clear that the greed of Linshan, Qugong, and Yushe Venerable is to blame, which has caused it to suffer heavy losses. In the future, it will only have its original body and no incarnation, making it extremely passive when it goes out.

The three hadn't expected things to turn out this way; their side had suffered the first loss of members. It was truly because that toad in the outer void was too insidious; no one could withstand its giant tongue whip.

Next, Qu Gong made a fierce move and broke the Tongtian Lingbao Dividing Water Flag in front of him on the spot!
The flagpole broke in two and was severely damaged. The Penglai Holy Lord, who was hiding behind it, was instantly blown apart by the true form of Qu Gong, who was adorned with the Tongtian Lingbao!
With a "bang," it transformed into a sky full of azure energy. Attacks from the outside came one after another, but they were all firmly blocked by the Void Silver Scale Armor.

Venerable Yushe hurriedly put the two broken flags into his pocket, his heartache barely concealed on his face.

Fortunately, killing one of the primordial avatars of the Holy Lord of Penglai was a huge win!
Lin Shan's cursed spirit has finally successfully broken through to the primordial spirit stage!

However, all three of Penglai's sacred lands, all of which were of superior quality, were extracted by Cangkun's territory and became victims of the heavenly tribulation, severing Penglai's foundation.

"Hahahaha, I... I can actually become a primordial spirit?"

The cursed spirit laughed wildly, clearly never expecting that someone of its kind would have such a day. Without hesitation, it handed over the Heavenly Dew to Lin Shan, intending to present this treasure to its master.

On the other side, the old man in the straw raincoat also barely survived the lightning tribulation. Being able to survive two lightning tribulations in a row is enough to show how strong this person is!

But it's true that he was seriously injured. While others experienced a significant increase in strength after their tribulations, he didn't gain anything.

It’s simply a disaster!
At this moment, he was extremely weak. For the first time ever, he changed his usual approach and did not pursue the cursed spirit. Instead, he planned to leave immediately and find a place to heal his wounds.

How could Kelin Mountain let such a golden opportunity slip by?
Having been waiting for the moment the tribulation ended, the Devouring Soul Prison suddenly slammed on, locking him firmly inside!

"Leader Lin, let's go!"

After Venerable Yushe succeeded, he called to Lin Shan to hurry up and make a run for it.

Seeing that he had trapped the old man in the straw raincoat, they all hesitated again and secretly sent him messages to tell him not to cause any more trouble, lest there be any more accidents.

"We've already obtained the Heavenly Treasure Water-Dividing Flag, and we've traded the incarnations of the Holy Lord of Penglai and the Demon Dog Lord for one. Overall, we've made a huge profit, so there's no need to continue fighting to the death. Let's retreat."

Ignoring everything else, Lin Shan commanded his Annihilation Avatar and the Cursed Spirit to attack together, aiming to kill the old man in the straw raincoat who was about to lose his ability to resist.

"This person is the former Holy Lord of Penglai, with unparalleled strength. He was able to withstand two consecutive Six-Nine Thunder Tribulations. Do you really intend to let him leave like this?"

"This"

"Now that we've torn off all pretense of civility, we must weaken their strength to the greatest extent possible. Otherwise, it will be much harder to kill them when they recover and come looking for trouble again!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, bro!"

At this moment, the great demon Qu Gong made a decision and rushed forward without hesitation to help Lin Shan protect the surroundings and restrain his opponents, buying him time.

Venerable Yushe originally wanted to take the treasure and leave, but he couldn't just abandon his teammates, so he had no choice but to stay and help.

The Holy Lord of Penglai, along with a large group of powerful cultivators, surrounded them. Upon seeing this, he was filled with even more hatred.

"Uncle-Master, hold on! We can't let these people go today, or how will we face our fallen disciples?"

The old man in the straw raincoat remained silent, constantly changing his moves in an attempt to break through the defenses, but the Devouring Soul Prison was extremely secure, targeting the primordial spirit and leaving him with no way to attack.

With his clone assisting him from the side, the arrows kept him busy and flustered, and he felt that the injuries in his body were about to become uncontrollable.

Suddenly seeing the black mist dharma image behind the other party, a pair of scarlet eyes lit up, and it broke away from the Nirvana clone and rushed towards it!
A chill ran from his tailbone to his forehead. He roared and drew three defensive lines, all of which were devoured by the mysterious Dharma Form. Then, it rushed into the Devouring Soul Prison and swallowed him whole!

"Crackle, crackle~~"

The sound of chewing came from inside, accompanied by a chilling scream. The Holy Lord of Penglai and all the great supernatural beings shuddered!

Qu Gong stood guard on all sides as a human shield, firmly protecting Lin Shan's left and right sides. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Until the old man in the straw raincoat's primordial spirit avatar completely perished, and the strange Dharma form returned to the Nirvana Avatar, its cultivation level instantly soared. Lin Shan was amazed by the heaven-defying nature of this Dharma form.

Sure enough, after the Nirvana Avatar breaks through to the Primordial Spirit stage, it can devour Primordial Spirits or Primordial Thought Avatars to improve its cultivation!
He realized it was time to end the battle and immediately ordered everyone to retreat.

Just then, an intense beam of starlight suddenly shot out from the outside, and a huge star suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by countless rays of light swirling and intertwining around it.

The target was none other than the cursed spirit that had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage!
A loud shout came from outside through the crack.

"Hahahaha, finally found it! You can leave if you want, but my Grand Steward will stay here!" (End of Chapter)
