The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Upon seeing Tian Buque and his group, whose demonic power was overwhelming in the sky, the members of the Hidden Moon Sect were also filled with panic.

Judging from the aura emanating from Tian Buque and the others, none of them were below the Foundation Establishment stage; they were clearly all elites of the demonic path.

"Hmph! You treacherous villain, don't be so arrogant! Do you really think you can take us down?"

A female cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect, at the late Foundation Establishment stage, rose into the air and shouted loudly.

Seeing that they had found a leader, the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect immediately gathered together, ready to unleash a combined attack at any moment.

"Hahaha, the Hidden Moon Sect is just a minor branch of my Joyful Union Sect. Do you really think you can defy your superiors?!"

Seeing the fighting spirit displayed by the members of the Hidden Moon Sect, Tian Buque's unmanly face revealed a mocking expression.

"What utterly arrogant words! I wonder if your strength can support such boastful claims."

A cold voice rang out, immediately calming everyone in the Hidden Moon Sect down.

Tian Buque's expression shifted slightly, and his face immediately darkened.

Lu Yao appeared on the three spirit boats, looking calmly at Tian Buque and the others.

"Hehehe, kid, you've successfully angered me. Today, I'll take your life."

Tian Buque sneered, and his pale blue magic power suddenly erupted, forming a beam of spiritual energy that shot towards Lu Yao.

"Thunder Prison Barrier!"

A cold glint flashed in Lu Yao's eyes, and a terrifying thunder array instantly unfolded, enveloping Tian Buque and the group of Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators behind him.

"What formation is this?"

Tian Buque was slightly taken aback. The great formation that Lu Yao had unleashed gave him a bad feeling.

"Thunder Tiger!"

Lu Yao gave a soft shout, and a terrifying giant thunder tiger condensed within the barrier. It roared to the sky, completely ignoring Tian Buque's attack, and charged towards Tian Buque and the others.

"Humph! Bluffing!"

"Heavenly Yin Demonic Energy!"

Facing the imposing Thunder Tiger, Tian Buque felt the electric current permeating the air, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

The Xuan Yue Yin Absorption Technique he cultivated was the top-tier technique of the Hehuan Sect, and it was extremely exquisite. The Heavenly Yin Demonic Qi was an extremely powerful spell within this technique, capable of both offense and defense.

Tian Buque suddenly unleashed a burst of Yin energy, which condensed into a Yin energy demonic dragon and charged towards the Thunder Tiger.

However, Lu Yao would not hold back against Tian Buque. What appeared to be only Foundation Establishment spells were actually filled with the magical power of Lu Yao's Core Formation cultivation.

The Yin Qi Demon Dragon collapsed instantly upon contact with the Thunder Tiger, tearing itself apart like a small snake.

"How can it be?!"

Tian Buque's expression changed drastically. He was at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and with his top-tier demonic cultivation techniques and countless precious medicines, his strength had already reached the level of a pseudo-core cultivator.

He could even hold his own against Core Formation cultivators with the treasures of the Hehuan Sect, but his signature spell was shattered in an instant, which was quite surprising and shocking to him.

"Protect the young master! Yin-Yang Pulling Technique!"

The Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator behind Tian Buque reacted quickly and immediately made his move.

These demonic cultivators from the Hehuan Sect paired off, and with their surging magical power, streaks of red energy shot out, entangling the giant thunder tiger.

"Is this the signature technique of the Joyful Union Sect?"

Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly as he looked with interest at the red threads on the Thunder Tiger's body.

Lu Yao hadn't expected that the combined attack of these thirty-odd Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators would actually stop the Thunder Tiger.

"Hmph! How could a small sect like yours possibly know the secret techniques of my Joyful Union Sect?"

Tian Buque smiled smugly, but his hands did not stop. This time he dared not underestimate Lu Yao. He directly condensed three Yin Qi Demon Dragons, intending to bypass the Thunder Tiger and attack Lu Yao directly.

"ignorance!"

Lu Yao chuckled softly, a thought stirring in his mind. The Thunder Tiger was engulfed in a surge of lightning, and the red threads attached to its body snapped inch by inch. With a flash of red light, the Yin-Yang Pulling Technique was shattered.

The disciples of the Hehuan Sect also suffered a backlash.

"Roar!"

A tiger's roar, accompanied by thunder, resounded throughout the Thunder Prison Barrier, and terrifying lightning illuminated the pupils of everyone present.

"boom!"

Under Lu Yao's control, the Thunder Tiger moved with lightning speed and rushed to Tian Buque in an instant.

"Heavenly Yin Shield!"

Tian Buque's expression changed drastically. He unleashed his full magical power, conjuring a large shield in front of him in an attempt to block the Thunder Tiger.

Unfortunately, even at this point, he still didn't know that he was facing a Core Formation cultivator.

"Boom!"

The Heavenly Yin Shield shattered instantly, and the Thunder Tiger bit Tian Buque and the others.

"Aaaaaah! Young Master, save me!"

"Young Master, run!"

……

The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Hehuan Sect had no chance to resist the Thunder Tiger. Except for a few demonic cultivators with life-saving treasures, all the others perished.

"Is this really the strength that a Foundation Establishment cultivator can possess?"

The cultivators of the Hidden Moon Sect standing on the spirit boat stared at Lu Yao in disbelief. They could hardly believe that such a powerful spell could come from the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

At this moment, Lu Yao was still displaying the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator thanks to the effects of the Breath Concealment Technique.

"You're not in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage? You've been hiding your cultivation level??"

Tian Buque's face stiffened. Seeing the numerous disciples of the Hehuan Sect suffering heavy injuries, his heart couldn't help but clench.

At this moment, how could he not know that Lu Yao could not possibly be in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage?

"Oh? You found out? Fine, then I'll show you my true power."

Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly. To unleash such power with only a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level was somewhat insulting to others' intelligence.

Lu Yao's aura changed instantly, reaching the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage; some might even believe he was a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator.

The False Core Realm is a rather special realm in the mortal world. It refers to the awkward situation where a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator fails to break through to Core Formation, and while their strength in all aspects surpasses that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, they are still far inferior to a Core Formation cultivator.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest below the Core Formation stage, and Lu Yao is demonstrating this level of skill at this moment.

Although Lu Yao planned to flee, he didn't want to reveal his Core Formation cultivation level, as that would be too high-profile, especially since he had a group of Hidden Moon Sect disciples behind him.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator notices it, it will be quite troublesome.

While the False Core Realm is also quite extraordinary, it is still within the realm of unparalleled geniuses. Others will certainly think that Lu Yao has had some extraordinary encounters, but it is not enough to make a Nascent Soul cultivator interested.

"Fake pills?"

Tian Buque looked grim. Although he was at the late Foundation Establishment stage, he relied on the Xuan Yue Yin Absorption Technique and generally didn't care about fake Core Formations.

However, Lu Yao's presence was far more formidable than that of a fake Core cultivator, completely different from any other fake Core cultivator he had encountered before.

Tian Buque didn't have time to think much. He knew that if he didn't reveal his trump card, he probably wouldn't survive Lu Yao's clutches today.
