Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 67. I Won

It broke.

Eliminate.

Rebirth.

The clouds rolled in, revealing the sun, only to be obscured again in the next instant.

Lu Changyuan stood amidst the lightning tribulation, arrogantly wielding his sword, destroying everything in his sight with his severing will.

He no longer used swordsmanship, but instead used the severing thoughts in his hand, which mixed yin and yang energies, to make the most basic slash. But it was precisely this most basic slash that tore apart all the confusion and the six dusts, and the void Taiyi devoured everything.

All sword techniques, in the end, are nothing more than thrusting, slashing, chopping, and parrying.

"Ok?"

Behind the layers of dark clouds, a vague, indistinct shadow suddenly appeared.

Suddenly, countless tiny sounds seemed to be mixed into the shadow, at first like soft sobs, then growing more rampant, like demonic noises filling the ears, with countless shouts and cries mixed together, making one's heart tighten.

A succubus?!
Even though Lu Changyuan had lost the perfect mental cultivation technique, he still recognized the identity of that shadow.

How could a demon of lust be in the heavenly tribulation?
When Lu Changyuan saw the Desire Demon, the Desire Demon naturally saw him as well. Its originally blurry outline suddenly swelled up, like an inflated sac, instantly transforming into a gigantic mouth that opened to its limit.

The mouth that blotted out the sky was filled with sharp teeth, and its edges were covered with bluish-black fleshy growths. Countless twisted eyes emerged from the fleshy walls, staring intently at Lu Changyuan.

The piercing screams, not belonging to humans, nearly destroyed Lu Changyuan's eardrums.

Suddenly, an enormous bolt of blood-red lightning struck down, heading straight for Lu Changyuan's face.

Lu Changyuan used his sword to block the lightning bolt, but the blood-red lightning flowed along the sword and scorched his hand black. He remained expressionless, his expression mocking: "Are you indifferent to the lustful demon?"

As if stung by these words, the heavenly tribulation grew even more agitated.

Blood flowed down the hilt to the tip of the sword, adding a touch of scarlet crimson to the smooth blade.

In the next instant, Lu Changyuan had already rushed into the gaping maw. The sharpness of the Severing Thoughts broke through the seal in the body of the Desire Demon. The layers of flesh and the entangled blood vessels were as fragile as paper under the Severing Thoughts, and were cut straight through.

For those obsessed with lust, severing all desires is a natural weapon.

Lu Changyuan shook off the foul-smelling green pus on Duan Nian: "Still as disgusting as ever."

He looked up and squinted.

Behind the clouds, countless hideous demons appeared. In an instant, Lu Changyuan's surroundings seemed to have turned into an endless hell of thunder, filled with thunder and demons from all directions, all seemingly trying to devour him inch by inch until nothing was left.

The lightning tribulation rolled in, and the lustful demons chose their victims to devour.

Lu Changyuan, his black robes stained with blood, held his sword and said, "I never imagined you would hate me to this extent."

It's unclear whether it refers to heavenly tribulation or the demon of desire.

He raised his sword, finally draining all his past, and the power of the four seasons was gathered into this one strike.

An arc appeared out of thin air, as if the gate of all wonders was revealing the most perfect profound meaning, and then completely transcended space and time, bringing a sonic boom that shook the heavens and the earth!
Space was completely folded and opened up, the emptiness of internal force and the long road of intent vibrated, and finally a terrifying suction force surged out, ruthlessly swallowing everything.

What a joke!

You are the calamity of heaven, yet you do not slay the demons of the mortal realm.

You don't care about the suffering of ordinary people.

You stand by and watch the chaos and cannibalism.

Now, instead, they're unleashing deadly lightning bolts at someone who hasn't harmed anyone.

Lu Changyuan's voice echoed in all directions.

"If you won't slay the demon, I will!"

~~~~~~~~~~~
Su Youwan didn't understand.

How can anyone have the courage to do this?

She watched as that figure in black robes charged into the tribulation clouds three times, shattering them to pieces. This was not about undergoing tribulation or blocking the tribulation clouds, but about using human power to defy the heavenly tribulation.

The silver-haired girl gazed at the sky and suddenly felt that Lu Changyuan was truly an immortal. Perhaps only legendary immortals would dare to draw their swords against the heavens.

He rushed forward again and again, only to fall to the ground in the end. Was it worth going to such lengths for others?

Su Youwan wasn't quite sure, but she was trying to understand Lu Changyuan.

She cultivated the predestined way of heaven, emphasizing acting in accordance with the will of heaven, yet today she witnessed firsthand someone defying heaven with human effort. The tribulation clouds in the sky tried to condense many times, but in the end they gradually dissipated, the terrifying blood lightning no longer grazing the earth, and then it began to rain, initially black rain, but eventually turning into clear, transparent water.

When the rain stops, the sun will shine again.

The vast darkness is slowly receding, and the sun should rise as usual tomorrow.

Su Youwan cleared away the remaining lightning energy around her before walking up to Lu Changyuan, who was lying on the ground, covered in blood and looking like a dead man.

"Young Master Lu, are you alright?"

"Looks like I'm lucky, I won."

Lu Changyuan fought the tribulation clouds for two days and dispersed them. Jiang Jiayi also managed to send the person to Tianshan before the tribulation clouds regrouped.

Rain lashed Lu Changyuan's face, but he only laughed twice, letting the rain soak him and leave him looking disheveled.

So lovely.

The Third Princess thought to herself.

She held the umbrella beside Lu Changyuan to keep him dry, but her silver hair got wet, and the cold autumn water slid down her hair and dripped onto Lu Changyuan's hand.

"What I mean is, your injury looks quite serious."

"If you ask about injuries, that wouldn't be good."

Lu Changyuan grinned, the scabs on his body falling off like snowflakes: "Looks like I'm going to die here today. I might have to spend some of the Third Prince's money to buy a good coffin for my body."

Su Youwan said expressionlessly, "I remember Young Master Lu said a day ago that we might not die here."

"Man proposes, God disposes."

"is it?"

"Otherwise what?" Lu Changyuan felt his throat was full of the taste of blood, which made his throat feel extremely uncomfortable. "Your Highness, it would be better to go further away, so that the blood won't splatter on your face later."

Su Youwan shook her head: "It's already splashed on me."

The girl's pale blue Taoist robe was stained with dark blood from Lu Changyuan, making her look like a pure lotus that had been forcibly stained with mud.

"Young Master Lu, do you have any medicine to treat blood lightning injuries?"

Even so, after fighting Xue Lei for two days, Lu Changyuan's injuries were no longer treatable with ordinary pills.

"Third Prince, do I look like I carry any elixirs with me?"

"You still prefer to answer questions with questions."

The Third Princess squatted down, naturally smoothing out the hem of her clothes, and then sat down in front of Lu Changyuan.

She stretched out her fair, delicate arm and brought it to Lu Changyuan's lips.

"What is Your Highness trying to do?"

"Drink up, Young Master Lu."

What to drink?
A ray of light flashed by, and a cut quickly appeared on that porcelain-like skin. Crimson blood flowed down the arm and dripped into Lu Changyuan's mouth.

Su Youwan replied matter-of-factly, "I can't drink too much, lest you start targeting me later."

She held Lu Changyuan in her arms, as if a person suffering from filth and pain was being embraced by a holy bodhisattva, whose suffering and pain were soothed.

Lu Changyuan's breathing gradually stabilized, and he was no longer in mortal danger, but he was still seriously injured.

"Your Highness?"

Su Youwan released Lu Changyuan and picked up the birdcage again: "Don't ask, and I won't tell you."

Everyone has a few secrets, right?

Lu Changyuan could only say, "I didn't intend to ask anyway."

"That's good."

The silver-haired girl helped Lu Changyuan up, brushed the dust off him, and then said softly, "You are very capable, more capable than anyone I have ever met."

Lu Changyuan felt that the anger had completely dissipated. He smiled, looked up at the sky, and saw the vast sea and the high heavens and earth.

"It was just to vent my anger."
