Chapter 929: Shocking Change in the Valley

As the energy in this world continued to be absorbed into his body for refinement.

Chu Ning became more certain that the so-called more advanced energy that Tang Xuan mentioned here was actually the fusion of Spiritual Qi and Power of Origin.

Although there were many doubts in his mind, Chu Ning at this moment chose not to dwell on them.

He simply continued absorbing and refining.

The Spirit Seed and Power of Origin Water Drops within his body were also being refined continuously.

Chu Ning vaguely realized that this cultivation session could potentially bring him considerable benefits.

And just as Chu Ning was focusing wholeheartedly on his cultivation.

Behind him, Lu Yuezhang and the other two Nascent Soul Cultivators, after releasing a barrier, began to communicate through telepathy.

“Fellow Daoists, have you sensed anything unusual?”

Lu Yuezhang transmitted to the two cultivators from the Celestial Sound Pavilion and Taihe Institute, both of whom nodded, faces showing concern.

“The absorption speed of those two is distinctly abnormal compared to ordinary people. If it were just one person, such fluctuations might not be detectable to us. After all, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here is not Spiritual Qi; our senses aren’t as acute. Unexpectedly, they are absorbing simultaneously, so recklessly.”

Spoke the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator from Taihe Institute.

Lu Yuezhang’s eyes flashed, then he coldly stated:

“Since it is so, there is no time to delay, test with the person he brought along. All three of us strike simultaneously; we must force them to reveal themselves. But be careful not to damage the Tree of Myriad Laws.”

Upon saying this, Lu Yuezhang paused, then continued:

“I have just informed Senior Brother Zou and Fellow Daoist Shen outside the valley, should they attempt to break through, they will assist outside the valley.”

The other two Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

Immediately, Lu Yuezhang dispelled the barrier.

The three Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators simultaneously flew forward.

Leaping over the currently cross-legged Chu Ning and others who were sitting a hundred meters outside the Tree of Myriad Laws, reaching the very core of the valley.

The three exchanged glances, then suddenly struck, three extremely fierce attacks aimed directly at Chu Ning, Cen Zijin, and Zhuang Zhong from the Profound Fire Sect.

Earlier, while cultivating, Chu Ning noticed Lu Yuezhang and the others moving forward but assumed they were going to inspect the Tree of Myriad Laws, so he didn’t pay it much mind.

However, at this moment, he suddenly sensed a fierce killing intent, his expression changed drastically.

“Zijin, retreat!”

Suddenly opening his eyes and shouting, Chu Ning grabbed Cen Zijin and flew backward.

And at this moment, a massive turtle shell appeared in his hand.

The turtle shell was placed in front, protecting Chu Ning and Cen Zijin.

The next instant, the attacks from the two Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators heavily struck the turtle shell.

Even with the buffering of the Cangxuan Spirit Turtle’s shell, this attack still sent Chu Ning and Cen Zijin flying several meters back.

However, with the protection of the turtle shell, the two remained unharmed.

“Huh?”

Witnessing this scene, Lu Yuezhang and the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator from Taihe Institute couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Instinctively they paused.

Chu Ning’s face was grim, he quickly scanned the other side where the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator from the Celestial Sound Pavilion was engaged in a fight with Zhuang Zhong.

Then his gaze returned to Lu Yuezhang in front.

“Elder Lu, what is the meaning of this?”

“Meaning? Demon Fiend, show your true form now!”

As Lu Yuezhang spoke, he raised his hands, and a white blade-shaped magical aura blasted out.

Came slashing down towards Chu Ning.

And beside him, the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator from Taihe Institute also attacked, unleashing a yellow palm seal, pressing heavily downward on Cen Zijin.

“Use this to resist!”

As Chu Ning opened his mouth to speak earlier, he had already handed the turtle shell to Cen Zijin.

At this moment, he signaled for Cen Zijin to fall behind him, while Chu Ning himself dashed forward.

As his hands raised, four Ice Shadow Sword Talismans inscribed on the Talisman Ring were fired out one after another.

Meeting the attacks from the two Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators ahead.

Four ice-blue sword auras simultaneously clashed with the two Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators’ attacks.

But even though the sword auras from the Ice Shadow Sword Talismans were comparable to Early Stage Nascent Soul spells, in a four-against-two scenario, they were still shattered by the two formidable attacks.

The white knife aura and yellow palm seal were significantly weakened at this moment, yet they continued to attack Chu Ning.

Behind him, Cen Zijin saw this and her face slightly changed color, holding the turtle shell intending to fly forward for escape.

She saw Chu Ning appeared to be prepared, spat out from his mouth five Spirit Swords, which arranged before him in a peculiar manner.

Their five-colored radiance flickered, forming a wall of five-colored light in front of Chu Ning.

Meanwhile, the Body Protection Spiritual Light from the Five Elements Chaos Technique on Chu Ning’s body also surged, coordinating with the five-colored radiance.

The white knife aura and yellow palm seal landed on the light wall, astonishingly blocked.

Simultaneously, Chu Ning’s Five Elements Spirit Sword dimmed, while the Body Protection Spiritual Light outside him instantly faded.

“This…”

Lu Yuezhang and the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator from Taihe Institute exchanged looks, at this moment, an expression of bewilderment appeared in their eyes.

The two were greatly surprised that Chu Ning could deploy so many unseen techniques to fend off their attacks.

Yet simultaneously, nothing appeared on Chu Ning as they had anticipated, leaving them somewhat perplexed.

At this moment, relying on the Ice Shadow Sword Talisman and the Five Elements Sword Array to fend off the attacks from two Nascent Soul Cultivators, Chu Ning’s expression was unusually grave.

Gathering the Five Elements Spirit Sword, Chu Ning touched the storage bag, and said to the two gravely:

“Two seniors, what you mentioned about demon fiends, is there some misunderstanding here?”

“What’s happening? Why did the seniors take action?”

“Chu Ning could actually withstand the attack of two Nascent Soul Cultivators?”

At this moment, the other Golden Core Cultivators also responded in turn.

Having finished their cultivation, their gaze was filled with confusion and vigilance.

Even Jiang Cheng and He Feng of the Guiyuan Sect were equally puzzled.

Besides the sudden attack by the three Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators surprising them greatly,

the result of the attack also astonished everyone.

That turtle shell Chu Ning was holding could actually withstand the combined assault of two Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.

The power of spells released by Chu Ning had surprisingly reached the level of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

On the other side, even Zhuang Zhong, who was clearly just in the Middle Stage of Golden Core, also withstood an attack from a Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Celestial Sound Pavilion.

The sudden unfolding of these scenes left everyone present awestruck.

As everyone remained puzzled, they suddenly sensed something amiss.

“Haha!”

On the other side, Zhuang Zhong, who was engaged with a Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Celestial Sound Pavilion, let out a wild laugh.

His aura surged rapidly, elevating to a Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivation in the blink of an eye.

Black demonic qi coiled around his body.

This scene attracted everyone’s gaze.

Even Lu Yuezhang and the Nascent Soul Cultivator from Taihe Institute ceased their attacks on Chu Ning,

and turned to look at Zhuang Zhong.

“Outer Celestial Demon!”

Chu Ning suddenly realized something, and exclaimed in surprise.

The aura from Zhuang Zhong was identical to the Outer Celestial Demon he had encountered in the Golden Spirit Species Spirit Realm before.

But it was now unfathomably stronger.

The Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Celestial Sound Pavilion, at this moment, had a flute-like magical treasure in hand and, with a wave, launched a powerful assault toward that Outer Celestial Demon.

But just then, the demon’s figure abruptly vanished.

“Watch out for an ambush!”

Seeing this, the Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Celestial Sound Pavilion shouted a warning.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s complexion changed drastically, and they promptly summoned their magical treasures for defense.

But it was too late.

The figure of Zhuang Zhong, possessed by the Outer Celestial Demon, flashed and appeared beside a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator.

A hand reached out, and the protective shield and magical treasure of this cultivator, who previously ranked fifth in a competition, were effortlessly shattered.

Then, astoundingly, the demon grasped the Golden Core and fled with it.

By the time the Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Celestial Sound Pavilion arrived, the Golden Core Cultivator had already fallen with wide-open eyes.

Zhuang Zhong, now shrouded in demonic qi, had appeared over twenty zhang away.

He stuffed the Golden Core into his mouth, and in two or three crunches, chewed and swallowed it down.

“Tsk tsk, the taste of Golden Core is still not as good as that of Nascent Soul.”

With these words from the demon, all the cultivators in the valley instantly turned ashen.

Lu Yuezhang and the Nascent Soul Cultivator from Taihe Institute naturally could not bother with Chu Ning, and flew toward the Outer Celestial Demon.

Aiming to join forces with the Nascent Soul Cultivator of the Celestial Sound Pavilion, to surround the Outer Celestial Demon.

But the demon gave them no chance; it swiftly dashed towards another Golden Core Cultivator, He Feng.

He Feng reacted much faster than the previous person.

Knowing full well that he could not contend with the Outer Celestial Demon, he had no thought of using magical treasures for defense.

Instead, he turned around and fled.

Rushing toward the direction of Lu Yuezhang and the Nascent Soul Cultivator from Taihe Institute.

Lu Yuezhang and the other cultivator immediately cast two spells toward the Outer Celestial Demon, forcing it to halt.

Taking this opportunity, He Feng distanced himself far away.

Over here, the three Nascent Soul Cultivators were on the verge of surrounding the Outer Celestial Demon.

At this point, the Outer Celestial Demon charged directly toward Lu Yuezhang, apparently intending to break out.

Upon seeing this scene, Lu Yuezhang snorted coldly, unleashing several spells in succession.

Just as these attacks were about to land on Zhuang Zhong, who was possessed by the Outer Celestial Demon,

a black shadow suddenly shot out from within him, soaring high to evade all the spells.

“Not good!”

Lu Yuezhang shouted softly, but it was already too late to stop.

The next moment, Zhuang Zhong’s body was pierced through by several spells, instantaneously exploding apart.

At the same time, the demonic shadow flickered and vanished, leaping over Lu Yuezhang, rushing toward the mouth of the valley.

The Nascent Soul Cultivator from Taihe Institute, clearly prepared for this, was already blocking the way ahead, unleashing several palm shadows toward the Outer Celestial Demon.

However, at this moment, the Outer Celestial Demon suddenly changed direction mid-air, speeding toward Chu Ning!
