I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 76: The Supreme Elder Steps In!

The difference between those at the Tribulation Transcending stage and those below is so enormous.

Even though Huang Li had only just entered the Tribulation Transcending stage a few days ago, he still completely overwhelmed Zhu Ling, who was at the eighth level of the Integration stage!

Ultimately, the difference lies in the fact that cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage can already utilize the power of heaven and earth, and each move resonates with a shallow understanding of the "rules of heaven," while those below the Tribulation Transcending stage do not possess this ability.

Even a tiny bit of divine power is enough for a person to stand out from the crowd.

This is the nature of desolate power.

He hasn't even stabilized his realm yet, and his foundation is easily damaged, but Huang Li still fearlessly stepped into the Nianling Sect. There's no other reason than that he has no opponent to fight to his heart's content, so there's nothing to fear.

"Too weak." Huang Li seemed to feel regret and shook his head.

"Huangli! How dare you be so arrogant? Do you really think that my Nianling Sect is without anyone?!"

An elder stepped forward, and although he knew the disparity in strength between the enemy and himself, he still roared indignantly.

"hehe."

Huang Li's lips curled into a smile: "Your Nianling Sect is indeed devoid of talent, isn't it?"

The mountain gate was deathly silent. The disciples were speechless and pale. Although they were somewhat unwilling, their resentment was useless under the oppressive power of the desolate force.

Even the sect leader was defeated in one move by that uninvited guest, so what can they do?

The elder was speechless for a moment, but then he gritted his teeth and said in a stern voice, "I swear to fight you to the death, and I will never back down an inch, even if I die! My Nianling Sect is not yet ready to be bullied!"

"A fight to the death?" Upon hearing this, Huang Li laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke. "Hahaha!"

Immediately, his gaze turned fierce, like a venomous snake, as he stared intently at Xiao Ling: "What do you think you are? You dare to talk to me about fighting to the death? It's utterly laughable!"

"We'll see what you're capable of!"

As he spoke, the elder channeled all his Dao power and directly summoned a fragment of an ancient stone tablet, which transformed into a streak of azure light and rushed toward Huangli with the force of thunder!

however--

Before he even got close to Huang Li, his face darkened, and with a casual flick of his finger, an invisible aura of malevolence swept out, shattering the stone tablet fragments!

"Pfft!"

With the magic weapon destroyed, the elder suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood and becoming listless.

But his eyes remained resolute as he once again gathered all his power. "Hmph!"

Huang Li snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "Since you are so stubborn, then don't blame me."

This guy is too stubborn!

The gap was already so obvious, yet he still tried to resist him in vain, which directly aroused the boundless killing intent in Huang Li's heart!

Stubbornness will never end well.

The next moment, his body trembled, and a vast, boundless power of Dao surged out from his limbs and bones. As the power of Dao surged, countless blood-red broadswords condensed and transformed, densely hovering around him, revealing extreme sharpness, as if they could strike the disciples at any moment, making them feel icy cold all over!

"This this……"

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the blood-red broadswords hovering around Huang Li, Zhu Ling and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they retreated hastily, no longer daring to linger in place.

This time, no one can save them! However, at this moment, Huang Li suddenly smiled contemptuously, waved his right hand, and three blood-red swords shot out from in front of him like lightning, heading towards the elder!

The elder dared not linger and tried to retreat, but he was no match for the speed of Huang Li's blade. Huang Li had already reached the elder and pierced through his body!

"Ugh!"

The elder screamed and fell backward.

One move, and he was dead.

The sight of this caused Zhu Ling and the others' faces to contort in disgust.

Huang Li had no intention of letting them off the hook. He seemed to think that the Nianling Sect had no one left to fight, so he might as well wipe them out. He then prepared to wave his hand again, and dozens of blood-red blades were about to come down!

Zhu Ling steeled her heart. Their sect-protecting formation was ready to be activated, but it might not be very effective against the desolate power of the Tribulation Transcending stage... Moreover, Zhu Ling, the main formation master, was already seriously injured!

Is the sect really going to be destroyed?

Just when the two were in despair, they suddenly heard a detached voice—

"enough."

As the sound rang out, everyone looked toward the source of the sound and saw a young figure slowly drifting over.

It was none other than Xiao Ling, the Supreme Elder of the Nianling Sect!

He had no choice but to step in.

If he doesn't step in, this Huangli will really destroy the entire sect of Nianling Sect and the foundation laid by his ancestors!

Although Xiao Ling only has the cultivation of a half-step Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator, it has only been a few days since he advanced to the first level of the Tribulation Transcending stage with his desolate power. He is not without the strength to fight. Moreover, once the sect's protective formation is activated, it can make up for the gap to some extent.

However, if they were to fight Huang Li head-on, the Nianling Sect would be destroyed no matter what.

Especially the thousands of disciples in the sect, they definitely won't survive! The aftershocks of the battle between powerful figures could kill them all!

"The Supreme Elder..."

Once Zhu Ling recognized Xiao Ling, she immediately called out to him.

"Don't worry, I have a way to handle this." Xiao Ling gave Zhu Ling a confident look.

Seeing this, Huang Li's brows furrowed into a relieved sneer. He took a deep breath, his gaze growing even colder: "Hahaha! I knew you wouldn't die so easily!"

"Without further ado."

Xiao Ling stared at him coldly.

"Does your Desolate Blade Sect intend to start a war with my Spirit Reflection Sect today?"

"So what?"

Huang Li crossed his arms, clearly realizing that Xiao Ling hadn't even reached the Tribulation Transcending stage. Fighting him would mean certain defeat. He knew that the Nianling Sect's mountain gate must have some kind of grand formation, and his Huangdao Sect also had such insurance, but Huang Li still dared to come alone to kill them.

"Do you think the Nianling Sect of today is the same as it was two hundred years ago? You are ruined! My Huangdao Sect is the greatest sect in this Kuyun Prefecture!"

The desolate power was rampant.

"Boom——"

His internal energy surged, transforming into black dragons that circled around him, making his aura increasingly terrifying.

Around him, rolling dark clouds erupted, thunder roared, and a storm was brewing.

"you……"

Xiao Ling had a bad feeling.

This aura was overwhelmingly superior to his! "It really is the Tribulation Transcending stage."

He knew that a battle with Huang Li was inevitable, but he never expected that this guy would be in such a hurry. He had just broken through his cultivation level and didn't even plan to spend a month in quiet cultivation to consolidate his foundation. He came straight to kill him!

"Destroying your Nianling Sect is a piece of cake, no difficulty at all."

Huang Li changed his tone abruptly, sneering, "Don't even mention that my Huangdao Sect doesn't need to send out all its forces; I alone can deal with all of you!"

Xiao Ling had no way to refute it.
