Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 65. As long as I live, that's ten percent.

"Go to the back!"

Lu Changyuan pulled Xia Lianxue behind him.

Xia Lianxue was still crying when she quickly realized what was happening and seemed to want to use time magic to reverse his image.

But Lei had already arrived.

The crimson lightning was as thick as a pillar of heaven. Its deafening roar, tearing through the sky, silenced everything. Instead, it solidified into a majestic heavenly might, carrying an aura of annihilation as it pierced straight down, tearing apart the surrounding space and turning it charred black.

"Brother Lu!"

The entire sky seemed to be collapsing. The first bolt of blood lightning, capable of annihilating everything, almost turned the surroundings into a living hell.

Lu Changyuan leaned on Duan Nian with one hand, thunderous booms echoing in his ears, and all he could see was blood-red lightning.

This was only the first lightning strike, yet it already possessed the power of the sixth realm. Lu Changyuan's skin and flesh were torn open, and his black robes were stained with blood.

Xia Lianxue wanted to step forward to help Lu Changyuan, but then she suddenly remembered that the tribulation lightning was aimed at her. If she didn't die, the lightning wouldn't dissipate; in fact, it would only intensify with each strike.

Heaven's way is ruthless and cruel, and it will utterly annihilate those who defy it.

Lu Changyuan coughed up blood: "This is the first time you've disobeyed me."

"Brother Lu!"

Lu Changyuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand. A strange feeling slowly rose up. He looked up at the sky and suddenly felt that the moon before sunrise was very beautiful.

"I have everything."

He squinted, preparing to make a move, but suddenly stopped.

Boom.

The second bolt of lightning arrived in an instant, but instead of striking Lu Changyuan or Xia Lianxue, it destroyed the Miaoyu Palace not far away.

what happened?

Is the Way of Heaven being obscured?

Lu Changyuan turned around and looked at the figure that was breaking through the wind in the distance.

Xia Lianxue seemed to realize this as well, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Changyuan up. Tears streamed down her face as she choked out, "Brother Lu, Brother Lu."

The fairy's hair swayed and brushed against Lu Changyuan's body, quickly becoming stained with Lu Changyuan's blood.

The power of time rippled across Lu Changyuan's body, and his wounds healed rapidly.

"Luckily, I wasn't too late."

Someone flew in from not far away.

Xia Lianxue, supporting Lu Changyuan, couldn't hide her surprise: "Master?"

The illusory figure shook its head: "I am not the master of Fengxianlong Palace, but merely a wisp of thought."

A star in the sky seemed to suddenly light up again; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a star that had long since dimmed.

That was Feng Xianlong's method of divination, which could conceal the secrets of heaven and cause the heavenly tribulation to temporarily lose Xia Lianxue's position.

The illusory figure said, "I can shield you from the lightning tribulation for three days. This is the Palace Master's Dao treasure. After three days, the Palace Master's Dao Star will be completely shattered."

Xia Lianxue was stunned.

She never imagined that her master had considered this step.

The illusory figure continued, "The Palace Master disapproved of you being with him back then; he's a menace!"

Lu Changyuan didn't know what expression to wear when facing this illusory figure.

Xia Lianxue is the same.

Both of them had fought Feng Xianlong back then.

Lu Changyuan thought to himself, no wonder Feng Xianlong had such a strange expression when he beat her up back then, it turns out there was such a hidden reason.

The illusory figure sighed and looked at Xia Lianxue with the eyes of an elder looking at the little fairy: "The Palace Master couldn't foresee your fate back then, but she did foresee that her daughter would definitely be entangled with you, so she kept me around, partly to take care of Yuehan, and partly to take care of you."

Lu Changyuan suddenly said, "Did you deliberately arrive late so I'd be the first to suffer the consequences?"

The phantom did not speak.

The atmosphere is a bit depressing.

half an hour.

The illusory figure did not answer Lu Changyuan's question, but only said, "There are only three days, but the Heavenly Tribulation will still find Tang'er after three days. This time it will be a fight to the death, so..."

Lu Changyuan continued, "Therefore, we need to find a place within three days that can isolate us from the secrets of heaven."

This was the solution he initially came up with.

As long as Xia Lianxue remains hidden outside the Heavenly Secrets, the Heavenly Tribulation will not descend.

Coincidentally, Lu Changyuan knew a place that was neither below the Heavenly Dao nor could the Heavenly Dao fathom. "Young Master?"

Lu Changyuan reached out and pinched Xia Lianxue's soft cheek hard: "Next time something like this happens, you have to tell me in advance, okay?"

Xia Lianxue's eyes widened as she clung tightly to Lu Changyuan: "What are you going to do, young master?"

Lu Changyuan smiled faintly, took Xia Lianxue's hand, and stood in front of the woman in red: "Take her to Tianshan."

Tianshan was once the place where Taoist priests in Chang'an practiced meditation. It was isolated from the Daoist way and lived a life of peace and tranquility. Now it has become the hermitage of the Taoist sect leader.

The sharpest sword in the world was trembling. She looked at Lu Changyuan, unable to even utter a word.

Lu Changyuan repeated, "Take her to Tianshan, just to help me out."

Jiang Jiayi took a deep breath and looked at the face that was somewhat familiar. She struggled to suppress her trembling sword heart: "Alright, but I can't get back in three days. It will take at least five."

Miaoyu Palace is tens of millions of miles away from Tianshan. Even if Jiang Jiayi went all out, she would definitely not be able to arrive within three days.

Lu Changyuan said calmly, "I'll hold them off for the rest of the time. You just need to take her to Tianshan. I'll be there soon."

Xia Lianxue's clear black and white eyes were filled with disbelief: "Young Master!?"

"It's alright, it's just a heavenly tribulation. I can hold it off for two days."

If the fairy were still the naive Xia Lianxue from before, she would naturally believe these words. But now the fairy is knowledgeable and worldly-wise, how could she not know Lu Changyuan's situation?

Even if one doesn't reach the Five Realms, or even enter the Dao, how can one withstand the Heavenly Tribulation on such a long path?

Lu Changyuan suddenly laughed: "Don't you believe me?"

Xia Lianxue stammered, "No...it's not...my...young master, then..."

She stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"When did I lie to you?"

"Young master has never lied to me."

“I can’t completely eliminate the heavenly tribulation, but I can buy you some time.” Lu Changyuan squinted at the lightning in the sky, his tone calm and relaxed: “Get a good night’s sleep, and I’ll be there when you wake up.”

Lu Changyuan suddenly stretched out his finger and placed it on Xia Lianxue's brow. She had already lost the Drunken Red Phoenix and had not yet recovered. She had also fought with the Red Phoenix Ancestor and was now very weak. In addition, her opponent was Lu Changyuan, so she naturally fainted.

Jiang Jiayi nodded, as if she wanted to say something more, but in the end she simply said, "Be careful."

Lu Changyuan smiled and said, "Once you reach Tianshan, the heavenly tribulation will naturally stop. I will come to find you then. I should be able to go to Tianshan in a month at most."

Jiang Jiayi's tone was gentle yet firm: "If you don't return to Tianshan in a month, I will personally come to capture you, and I will take you to the ends of the earth."

She had many questions to ask Lu Changyuan, but she also knew that the situation was urgent.

"Suit yourself, you should go now."

The phantom looked at Lu Changyuan one last time and asked, "How confident are you?"

Seeing that Lu Changyuan did not answer, she slowly dissipated and returned to the bracelet.

The red-clad figure soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.

The thunder in the sky grew increasingly red, and the entire Miaoyu Palace seemed to be dyed blood red.

The wind blew Lu Changyuan's blood-stained black robes.

He sat cross-legged in the air, facing the heavenly tribulation, and said, "As long as I am alive, that is a perfect score."

The card crashed.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, heard throughout the entire Miaoyu Palace.

Something broke.

~~~~~~~~~~
Tianshan.

The top of the Nine Heavens Palace.

The distant sky shattered like glass, eventually being completely torn apart, from which billowing demonic energy crawled out, seemingly about to fall.

The three-foot-six-inch longsword trembled violently.

The sect leader rose, gripped his sword tightly, and said calmly, "Blood Lightning?"

She gazed into the distance, but couldn't see through the mist, nor did she have time to look any further.

Something wants to be born into the world.

So the Daoist sect leader held his sword up to the crack: "Trying to take advantage of the heavenly tribulation's descent? Since when have you taken to seizing these petty opportunities? Haven't you learned your lesson from your master? Now you want to taste my sword?"

The sword reversed, and a complex sword formation rose from the ground.

A clear shout was heard.

"Get back!"
