Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Alright, everyone endured it, but look at her, after just one day, that happy expression on her face!

Meng Yu had another breakthrough, everyone could understand that, but... how come after spending a night with Meng Yu, you made such great progress?

Tell us, we're not asking for your chance, but at least you could tell your sisters how to advance, right?

Alright, Fairy Taohua was also in despair, how could she explain this?

The truth obviously couldn't be told, she couldn't just say that Meng Yu had learned something from the enchantress of the Hehuan Sect, could she?

...

Fairy Taohua was blocked, Meng Yu didn't know, but the small town saw many arrivals today, witnessing Meng Yu's struggle to the death.

The enemy didn't give him a chance to win, the twelve-person team had him figured out.

After his first death, Meng Yu lost all his equipment, the next time he resurrected he wore only plain clothes, while the victors had prepared to scorch the earth.

The twelve opponents came well-armed, bringing enough swords and equipment, able to support each other, unlike last time, those who resurrected came empty-handed!

Each of them had a group of subordinates, offering suggestions from all aspects, compensating for various oversights, and planning how to kill Meng Yu!

If it wasn't so unsightly, some even suggested laying out supplies on the way, so they could don armor and carry swords while marching!

The battle became increasingly unbearable for Meng Yu.

Time after time, Meng Yu died again and again, occasionally injuring or dying together with a Golden Core, but from beginning to end, he didn't once deal a fatal blow to any of the three Nascent Souls.

Even the Four Great Void technique was no good, because the enemies simply did not give him the chance for a perfect explosion of the four types of Sword Intent, using short and sustained attacks forcing him to parry non-stop, and when he prepared for a mutual destruction, they hit him with various long-range attacks!

They weren't fools, after losing yesterday, through their disciples, the three Nascent Soul Masters exchanged detailed analysis on the Ascension List.

All being Nascent Souls, they can't say they mastered every spell, but daily Combat Techniques and Cultivation Techniques were nothing special in their eyes.

If they had encountered Meng Yu offline, no matter how strong his Cultivation, as an early Golden Elixir Stage expert, they would easily wipe him out, but online, with their powers suppressed, the three Nascent Souls plus the wisdom of nine Golden Cores, they easily found the winning strategy!

"Boom!"

Meng Yu finally got the chance to self-destruct once, this time taking with him the arm of True Lord Bai Sheng and the life of a Golden Core, but what of it?

The three Nascent Souls formed an Array, the nine Golden Cores worked in coordination, True Lord Bai Sheng in charge of melee, True Monarch Yu Xia balanced offense and defense, and the Three Extremes True Monarch's thirty-six Golden Rings covered the sky, manifesting like a sniper, unpredictable.

The fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth... twenty-sixth time!

Their biggest concern was Meng Yu summoning other help, such as Bai Hu, the Blood Shadow Ancestor, or any other expert to assist, but such things didn't happen, Meng Yu honestly fought with everyone.

Meng Yu died in combat twenty-six times in a row, using mutual destruction or the Four Great Void to kill five Golden Cores, and once again took out True Lord Bai Sheng, but this was his limit, after True Lord Bai Sheng returned, he no longer gave Meng Yu any chances!

One versus one, a seventy percent chance of victory, one versus two, a thirty percent chance, now one versus twelve, three Nascent Soul True Monarchs, coupled with nine Golden Cores, demonstrated an ironclad defense and a ruthless offense, victorious in a hundred battles!

Then came another time Meng Yu was killed, and then, the next time, and also this time when he resurrected, he did not appear beside anyone, but at a more distant position.

"It seems you've won today."

His voice was still incredibly gentle, not at all distressed despite having been killed twenty-six times.

A biting dog doesn't bark, not to mention there would be another day.

"Wait a moment, we..."

When True Monarch Yu Xia wanted to say something, Meng Yu suddenly charged towards everyone.

Then... it was still a hard-fought slaughter, Meng Yu died in battle!

However, the expressions on True Monarch Yu Xia and True Lord Bai Sheng's faces, didn't look good at all.

They had finally won, but the crowd watching burst into mocking laughter.

That's it, that's all?

You've won, as long as you keep killing Meng Yu or occupy the town for three days, you've won outright.

But, he's just a Foundation Establishment.

Moreover... they had followed Immortal Realm rules from start to finish!

Twelve people entered the small town, looking out at the vast, empty streets.

Before today's battle, Meng Yu had already asked the locals and others to leave the town. Bai Hu did not have any conflict with them and walked away with Lan Qiong and the others.

True Monarch Yu Xia remained silent, but Three Extremes True Monarch just sneered.

"I'd bet that he definitely set up something in the middle of town, waiting for us to step into it, or prepared to ambush us later. Maybe this town hides an Array, ready to split us up and defeat us one by one!"

Three Extremes True Monarch did not display an ounce of mutual admiration. Instead, he destroyed the town's buildings one by one. Great fires blazed, while Spirit Talismans fell, severing control over the Spirit Vein.

Any Formation setup would have to consider the Spirit Veins and terrain. Everything proceeded smoothly, but Three Extremes True Monarch's expression turned uglier and uglier. Not because there was some terrifying Array in the town, but because there was none at all!

Meng Yu had simply set up a straightforward Formation, encompassing shielding and defense functions. There were no Blood Magic Arrays, no lands of life and death, and when they arrived at the spot where Meng Yu had buried the corpses, they saw something completely different from what everyone had imagined.

Last time, Meng Yu took out quite a number of Taiyi Sect's Golden Core cultivators, burying their bodies within the Formation of the summer garden. Many speculated that Meng Yu was using the corporeal qi and blood for cultivation, or conducting some inhumane experiments such as dissection and research. Later, these corpses were to be turned into zombies, flying specters, or Puppets, and so on.

He claimed his Sect was the Blood God Sect and that Blood Shadow Ancestor, a Nascent Soul Master from the Blood Demon Sect, had invited him to join the Ascension List!

So, everyone thought they would see hell; instead, they found a perfectly normal graveyard!

The bodies were exhumed and buried in normal fashion, with broken corpses even sewn together and dressed before being laid to rest!

Ah? You don't tamper with corpses, you don't do insane things to them, so what use is collecting bodies?

The twelve were bewildered and felt at a loss, then they started taking preventive measures.

The prior Array had taken over the Spirit Vein. It couldn't be taken back for three days, but it could be destroyed. Everyone silently made preparations, ready to kill off Meng Yu as soon as he went online.

All the bodies were gathered and set on fire to prevent Meng Yu from leaving anything behind. A myriad of bizarre speculations emerged, but something felt off to everyone.

What did we come here for?

What did we do?

And, what will we do in the future?

Seems like they... don't care at all?

...

Opening his eyes, Meng Yu returned to the Flying Boat.

Today's battle had been as he expected.

The enemy was not a fool, having lost the first battle they would not come unprepared for the second, to be crushed again.

Today he had suffered a terrible defeat, but... what of it?

Even if he was being suppressed, beaten repeatedly, even to the point of death, including enduring countless frustrations and anger... this was a good thing.

The first battle was thrilling and bloodthirsty, stirring the wind.

During the second battle, from start to finish, he was pressed down, unable to absorb the enemy's bloody qi—only his own corpses. The flames were stifled, and the other Cultivation Techniques were still hammered down relentlessly.

But suppressed flames were still flames, enough to experiment with the next stage of his Cultivation route.

Even the oppression and cruelty of today's battle delighted him, far surpassing his fights with Blood Shadow Ancestor and Bai Hu!

Opening his room door, three beauties were tenderly waiting for him.

Alright, it's still a beautiful time.

You all be anxious in the town, preparing for my log-in and ambush. Meanwhile, I will continue my pursuit of Cultivation.

Hibiscus blooming in the warm high sun, envious of mandarin ducks, not of immortals.

I'll Cultivate for a month or two on my end, then come back to have a death battle with you.

As for what I'm doing with those corpses...

Guess.
