Why Cultivate Immortality When You're Broke?

Old Man: "Do you wish for revenge?"

Young Man: "I was humiliated repeatedly by the strong, treated as worthless trash by my master. How could I not want revenge?"

Chapter 729 Defeat the Heavens

Chapter 729 Defeat the Heavens

On the battlefield of the fifth level of Kunxu.

A group of monks were busily moving back and forth, taking photos of the scene.

Mu Qiansi, a former prodigy of Hehuan University and a participant in the Top Ten Leagues, is among this group of people.

However, after being defeated by the Great Master, she joined the Righteous Alliance to save her life and became one of the Great Master's team members.

At this moment, she was surrounding Dazhuan Zhenjun, broadcasting live the scene of Dazhuan Zhenjun trampling his opponent under his feet.

Besides her, the team of Dazhuan Zhenjun also included Ying Zhoufan from Tianyao University, who was defeated and surrendered.

Meanwhile, the True Monarch of the College was standing with one foot on a cultivator's head and the other holding the cultivator's nascent soul, introducing him to the camera: "Everyone, this is the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Daoist Arts Department of Wanfa University."

"Hey, all I can say is... those rich people at Wanfa University are so much richer than us, yet they're so weak and have such an undeserved reputation."

"If you want to see me beat up more rich people from the ten schools, please like, favorite, and donate spirit coins..."

Mu Qiansi was already used to this scene. After arriving at the Righteous Alliance, Mu Qiansi discovered that the Finance Department had also established a complete economic system within the Righteous Alliance.

Within this economic system, besides Righteousness Points, Spirit Coins remain a very useful currency.

After all, spirit coins, which are jointly refined by cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage and righteous gods, are hard currency that combines spiritual energy and magical power. They are not only anchored to immortal energy, but also have an encryption method that is independent of the spirit world, combining value, convenience and security.

Mu Qiansi thought to herself, "The famous Nascent Soul cultivators in the Righteous Alliance, such as the True Lord of the College and the True Lord of Devouring Heaven, all start live broadcasts from time to time. Although they say it's to promote the Righteous Alliance and launch a public opinion offensive against the Ten Schools, in the end... they're still doing it to make money."

"Whether it's advertisements, live stream donations, or various tasks from the upper echelons of the Righteous Alliance, whether it's Righteousness Points or Spirit Coins, they are all targets for them to earn money."

"Only with money can one acquire more resources for the path of immortality and go further on the path of immortality."

Mu Qiansi sighed inwardly, "Hey... whether you're in the top ten universities or in the Righteous Alliance, you still have to make money. What's the difference in the end?"

Just as Mu Qiansi was lost in thought, seeing the messages constantly appearing in the live chat, Dazhuan Zhenjun raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Zhang Yu defeated Taihao and the others?"

"It didn't surprise me at all."

The True Monarch of the College casually remarked, "These finance majors are all amateurs when it comes to combat."

After a casual search in the Dark Spirit Realm, the Great Master True Monarch quickly found the video of Zhang Yu and 21 other Nascent Soul True Monarchs fighting at that time.

While watching the video with the audience, Dazhuan Zhenjun analyzed and commented, "Sigh, that's not how you fight. Zhang Yu is clearly good at group attacks. If you start by ganging up on him, wouldn't that be playing right into his hands?"

"Besides being skilled in the Kunlun Palm Technique, Zhang Yu clearly also possesses a spatial magic treasure of extremely high strength, similar to the Taixu Cloud Treasure, which can be used in conjunction with the Taixu Cloud Treasure to capture the opponent's attack."

“To deal with this kind of person, you can’t gang up on them, or rather… you can’t gang up on them randomly like Taihao and the others did.”

Mu Qiansi, who was standing nearby, asked cooperatively, "Then what method should we use to defeat Zhang Yu?"

The True Lord of the College chuckled and said, "That is of course... quality."

"There are limits to how much space can be captured."

"To deal with Zhang Yu, we should use absolute mass to completely burst his spatial bag, leaving him with nothing to store."

As he spoke, the Great Master said to the live stream, "Does anyone know where Zhang Yu is right now? If you see him, tell me immediately, and I'll rush over and show you how to suppress him live."

"Hehe, the top ten strongest undergraduates, giving out red envelopes, raising salaries, breaking through the sky, what a great title, what a huge amount of traffic."

The College Student True Lord laughed and said, "Perfect for me, the most powerful college student, to step on."

Soon after, Dazhuan Zhenjun saw the barrage of messages about Zhang Yu and Tuntian Zhenjun flooding the screen. He immediately realized that Tuntian Zhenjun and Zhang Yu were engaged in a fierce battle.

It just so happened that True Monarch Devouring Heaven was also live streaming, so True Monarch College immediately clicked on his live stream.

Then they saw the giant stone monkey, towering to the sky, holding Zhang Yu in its palm. The next moment, the giant palm tightened its grip, and each finger pressed down on Zhang Yu like a mountain peak.

Bang!

The mountain peak was torn apart with a deafening roar, and Zhang Yu had already jumped out of the stone monkey's palm.

Seeing this, the Great Master Zhenjun was moved and said, "See? This time Zhang Yu did not use the Palm Kunlun technique to collect all the rocks in the sky."

"Because, as I said, there is a limit to the space he can capture; it is impossible for him to continuously capture thousands or tens of thousands of tons of rocks."

"Therefore, the best way to deal with him is to attack him with massive amounts of cheap materials, so that he can't and dares not take them."

"The way Devouring Heaven is fighting now is the right one."

As he finished speaking, the Great Master instructed Mu Qiansi and the others beside him, "Let's go! We need to hurry over there too!"

"We can't let Devouring Heaven beat us to it. Zhang Yu's massive online traffic must be taken over by me."

In the blink of an eye, they saw the Great Master Zhenjun wave his hand and lead the entire team to rush towards the battlefield.

At the same time, he has initiated a live chat feature with the Devouring Heaven True Lord.

The next moment, Devouring Heaven True Lord had agreed to the College True Lord's request to connect via live stream, and his monkey face and the scene of constant battle appeared together in the College True Lord's live stream.

With a roar, the Devouring Heaven True Lord unleashed a barrage of stone monkeys, each as large as a mountain, which emerged from the earth and charged toward Zhang Yu with earth-shattering power.

Meanwhile, lines of text appeared in his live stream, maintaining his conversation with Dazhuan Zhenjun.

Devouring Heaven True Lord: College diploma? Can't you see I'm busy? Spit out your nonsense!

The Great Master laughed and said, "Swallowing Heaven, Zhang Yu is unfathomable, and his influence is astonishing. I was afraid you couldn't handle him alone, so I've come to your aid."

Devouring Heaven True Lord: Get lost! Don't try to freeload!

The True Lord of the College smiled faintly and said, "Don't be afraid, just hang in there a little longer, I'll be there soon."

...

On the battlefield where Devouring Heaven True Lord and Zhang Yu were locked in fierce combat.

With a furious roar, the Devouring Heaven True Monarch caused the earth to tremble, mountains to shake, and the earth's crust to shudder!

Amidst a series of tremors, mountain peaks rose from the ground, transforming into colossal stone monkeys that reached the heavens and the earth, joining the siege of Zhang Yu.

Watching the number of stone monkeys increase dramatically, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This guy has suddenly gotten anxious? His offensive has intensified considerably."

Faced with these stone monkeys that crashed down like mountains, Zhang Yu suppressed the Devouring Heaven True Monarch with one hand and shattered mountains and rocks with the other, but he did not easily use Kunlun and Immortal Descendant in his palm again.

After all, the size of the immortal's descendant is limited, only 10 cubic meters. The mountain rocks in front of them are too large, and even if the volume is compressed, they can quickly fill the space.

At the same time, Zhang Yu suddenly felt a burning sensation in his palm. A burst of intense heat erupted from the body of the Devouring Heaven True Monarch, releasing boundless light and heat that continuously assaulted the spatial barrier.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened, and he thought to himself, "The military-grade cultivation technique of the Civil Engineering Department of King Kong University... The Great Sun Manifestations?"

The Devouring Heaven True Lord laughed heartily, "How about my Three Divine Arts of Earth and Wood, with the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, the Sumeru Mountain King Scripture, and the Great Sun Manifestations?"

"Zhang Yu! How much longer can you hold on?"

"How long will your magic be enough to trap me?"

Seeing the Devouring Heaven True Lord turn into a small sun in his palm, Zhang Yu had already activated the Kunlun in his palm and the Immortal Descendant, continuously devouring the flames erupting from the opponent's body one by one.

Zhang Yu said calmly, "Swallowing Heaven, you can't escape my grasp."

At the same time, the enormous stone monkeys that had been surrounding them were gradually shattering and turning into broken rocks scattered all over the ground as they crashed into each other.

But soon after the rocks fell, they soared into the sky, accelerating rapidly like shooting stars, hurtling towards Zhang Yu.

At that moment, Zhang Yu felt as if he had become the Earth, and countless fragments of rock seemed to have become meteorites, swarming towards him and engulfing him.

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened, and he thought to himself, "This guy, after realizing that I haven't collected the mountain rocks, is he planning to use them to engulf me?"

Although Zhang Yu continuously shattered the rocks, they continued to surround him, as if trying to engulf him completely, burying him entirely.

With a soft shout, Zhang Yu formed a hand seal, and spatial barriers unfolded, enveloping an area of ​​several dozen meters around him.

Instantly, rocks crashed into the spatial barrier, unable to advance any further.

At this moment, the Devouring Heaven True Monarch transformed into a black sphere whose flames had been swallowed up, and was held in Zhang Yu's palm.

Zhang Yu was inside a spherical space formed by a spatial barrier. Outside this spherical space, rocks shot in from all directions, from the sky and the ground, and in a moment they enveloped and covered the entire spherical space, transforming into a huge mountain floating in mid-air.

As more and more rocks hurtled towards them, the mountain continued to expand, constantly squeezing the internal spatial barriers.

Facing the mountain outside the spatial barrier, Zhang Yu's thoughts shifted, and a Void Cloud Treasury opened at the waist of the Collapsing Heaven War God Armor. A burst of intense flames surged out from it, which was none other than the Heavenly Sun Radiance God.

"go!"

With Zhang Yu's command, the Heavenly Sun God unleashed countless rays of eternal blazing flames, piercing through the spatial barrier and burning the surrounding rocks, continuously melting the surrounding matter into magical power.

Feeling the magical power emanating from the Heavenly Sun God, Zhang Yu looked at the Devouring Heaven True Lord in his hand again and said indifferently, "Devouring Heaven, thinking of using trash to attack me is indeed a good tactic."

"But I've been learning how to deal with garbage since my freshman year of college, and now I'm a pro."

"Use whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve."

As they spoke, Zhang Yu had already deployed the Taihao Sacred Law Sword Formation, intending to launch a spiritual attack on Devouring Heaven True Monarch.

In order to facilitate smooth communication and obtain information from the other party, Zhang Yu did not block the communication between the two parties.

The Devouring Heaven True Monarch sneered and said, "Scum, if you think victory is assured, you greatly underestimate me, the Devouring Heaven Great Sage. I, the Devouring Heaven Great Sage, am..."

At this point, True Monarch Devouring Heaven suddenly stopped and continued, "Wait a moment, I have something important to take care of first."

Zhang Yu looked at the Devouring Heaven True Lord in his palm in surprise: "What kind of urgent matter needs to be dealt with now?"

The Devouring Heaven True Monarch snorted coldly: "Naturally, it concerns the resources for immortality and the important matter of climbing the peak of immortality."

The next moment, the Devouring Heaven True Monarch said, "Thank you, Chain Pivot God Monarch, for the 66 Ascension Certificates. I wish Chain Pivot God Monarch continued success in the stock market, soaring coin prices, never losing money, and invincibility on the battlefield of Nascent Soul..."

But just as the Devouring Heaven True Monarch was halfway through his speech, a flash of fury suddenly appeared in his eyes—a fury he had never shown since the start of the war.

Because at that very moment, he discovered that his live stream was lagging and about to disconnect.

This was clearly the effect of Zhang Yu's level 40 Taihao Sacred Law Sword Formation.

The Devouring Heaven True Monarch roared in fury, "Zhang Yu! How dare you cut off my network?"

Zhang Yu coldly replied, "So what if it's broken?"

The Devouring Heaven True Monarch roared, "Today, we shall fight to the death!!"

With a roar, a monkey-like figure suddenly darted behind Zhang Yu.

"Um?"

Zhang Yu frowned, and his nascent soul emerged from behind him, colliding with the monkey shadow with a loud bang.

Looking at the monkey-shaped black shadow, Zhang Yu's heart stirred: "The Nascent Soul of the Devouring Heaven True Monarch? This guy released his Nascent Soul before I suppressed him, and has been secretly waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack?"

In the blink of an eye, the Nascent Souls of both sides had engaged in a series of fierce battles. With each burst of energy from the collisions, the Devouring Heaven Nascent Soul was also suppressed in Zhang Yu's palm by using Kunlun Palm.

Then, in the next moment, another monkey shadow appeared, followed by a third, a fourth, a fifth...

Not only within the spherical space, Zhang Yu could sense countless monkey shadows constantly emerging outside the rocks of the spherical space.

The Devouring Heaven True Monarch laughed loudly, "Zhu Yi! You can suppress one of me, but can you suppress hundreds or thousands of me?"

After saying these words, the Devouring Heaven True Monarch suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu's heart stirred slightly: "This is also a clone? Has it exhausted its power?"

At the same time, the spherical space formed by the entire spatial barrier was filled with a large number of monkey shadows.

The next moment, the spatial barrier was removed, and the massive mountain that had been encasing it shattered with a deafening roar.

Zhang Yu and the Devouring Heaven True Lord emerged from the mountain, one on the left and one on the right, standing proudly above the sea of ​​clouds, gazing at each other.

Behind Zhang Yu were a nascent soul resembling clouds and mist, the blazing Heavenly Sun God, and twelve Taihao Sacred Law flying swords.

Behind the Devouring Heaven True Lord were thousands upon thousands of chattering monkey demons who roared at Zhang Yu. Some of them had flesh and blood bodies like the Devouring Heaven True Lord, while others had nascent soul bodies.

The thousands upon thousands of monkey demons roared at Zhang Yu in unison, "Scum! You're dead!"

Zhang Yu frowned slightly as he watched this scene, thinking to himself, "What an amazing clone technique..."

The battle that had just taken place flashed through his mind, and he began to organize the combat intelligence in his head.

"Some kind of unknown clone technique, the number of clones is known..."

A line of text appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes: 344 enemies identified.

Within his eye sockets, the Devouring Heaven True Lord and all his clones were identified and marked with a layer of red.

"There are different kinds of clones; some are just illusions, while others have a physical form."

"Among the physical types, most are extremely fragile and crumble at the slightest blow. A small number, however, possess considerable strength, can wield various martial arts techniques, and may even resemble the original body... This is the most crucial point."

Zhang Yu recalled the image of the Devouring Heaven True Monarch, whom he had just suppressed, dissipating into a wisp of green smoke.

"We must find this guy's true form."

Just as Zhang Yu was making his calculations, he saw the Devouring Heaven True Monarch wave his hand, stirring up a cloud of dust that obscured the entire battlefield, as well as the figures of the two and the live broadcast.

"Zhang Yu..."

The Devouring Heaven True Monarch took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Yu, and said, "You... have awakened the Demon Saint bloodline, haven't you?"

Zhang Yu remained expressionless, pondering why the Devouring Heaven True Monarch would make such a judgment.

The Devouring Heaven True Lord did not expect Zhang Yu's answer, but continued, "Do you know how the first demon in the world came to be?"

"The first demon was a cow in the field."

"In order to make the ox plow the land for him on its own and work for him automatically, the ox's owner enlightened it day and night... and finally the ox was transformed into a demon."

"This is the original origin of demons. They were created by humans... in order to make animals work for them for free."

"Since then, more and more animals and wild beasts have been transformed into demons, becoming slaves and beings that work for free without pay."

"But slaves themselves lacked technical expertise, and their productivity was extremely low."

"So, in order to make slaves more capable and more willing to work, humans began to pass on immortal techniques to demons, which eventually led to a war between humans and demons..."

At this point, the Devouring Heaven True Monarch paused slightly, then changed the subject, saying, "Did you think I was going to tell a story about the battle between humans and demons?"

The Devouring Heaven True Monarch shook his head and said, "There's not much to say about the struggle between humans and demons. In the end, the human race will simply achieve an absolute victory and then completely exterminate all the demons in the world at that time!"

Upon hearing Devouring Heaven True Monarch's words, Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart: "Completely annihilated?"

The Devouring Heaven True Lord said, "That's right, billions of living beings were completely wiped out. This is the consequence of resisting humanity, or rather, resisting the immortals."

"As for the new generation of demons today, they are the offspring of the immortals who created them."

"In order to replace those exterminated slaves, the immortals created a celestial demon that would not resist, would not feel pain, and would only serve humanity wholeheartedly. She was the first demon saint and the first demon saint to rebel against the Heavenly Court."

"She hid the blood of rebellion within us, so that among the countless beasts of the demon race, there will always be a few geniuses who dare to rebel against the Heavenly Court and the immortals."

"Zhang Yu, now that you have awakened the bloodline of the Demon Saint, you will inevitably rebel against the Heavenly Court in the future. Why not join us?"

Upon hearing these words from the Devouring Heaven True Monarch, Zhang Yu naturally did not reply. After all, he did not know whether what the other party said was true or false, nor could he sense any sincerity in the invitation.

"Very well." The Devouring Heaven True Monarch on the other side smiled slightly: "I'll defeat you until you are completely convinced, and then take you back to the Righteous Alliance and hand you over to the Alliance Leader."

As they spoke, the Devouring Heaven True Lord had already cleared away the sandstorm and resumed broadcasting the battle before him.

At the same time, the figure of Devouring Heaven True Monarch twisted and changed, and he actually looked somewhat like the Celestial Phenomenon True Monarch.

The Devouring Heaven True Monarch laughed and said, "Zhang Yu, I was just waiting to refine the bloodline of the Celestial Phenomenon. What are you waiting for?"

The next moment, they saw that the Devouring Heaven True Monarch had led many clones to attack, and many of these clones had transformed into the appearance of the Celestial Phenomenon True Monarch, and actually unleashed even stronger power than before.

Just as Zhang Yu was being suppressed, he suddenly reached out and threw out a projection of countless red envelopes from the spirit world, scattering them across the entire battlefield.

These red envelopes, projected into the spirit world, flow through the spirit world of the battlefield. They contain the purest spirit currency, which can be traded even when the spirit world network is disconnected. Just like the digital currency Zhang Yu had seen on Earth, this is money that can actually be found in Kunxu.

As Zhang Yu threw out these large red envelopes, they quickly disappeared into a large area of ​​the battlefield.

The Devouring Heaven True Monarch laughed, "Zhu Yi, have you lost your mind? Throwing money at me? Do you think I'll let you go just because you're throwing money at me?"

"But not necessarily. If you sprinkle some more on me, maybe I'll really let you go?"

But in the next moment, Zhang Yu and the Nascent Soul simultaneously activated the Kunlun Palm Technique.

This was the first time Zhang Yu had used this technique at full power. With his physical body and nascent soul combined, plus the blessing of the nascent soul's ten extraordinary meridians, the Great Annihilation of the Universe, he instantly expanded the range of Kunlun in his palm to its limit.

In Zhang Yu's eyes, the locations where all the red envelopes disappeared... were marked under the tracking of the Taihao Sacred Law Sword Formation.

"You must be able to connect to the spirit world, or have a spirit world wallet, to be able to pick up my money."

"So, the one who can pick up the red envelopes could very well be your true form, right? Devouring Heaven..."

"receive!"

The next moment, Zhang Yu forcefully suppressed the Devouring Heaven True Monarchs between his hands.

One by one, the Devouring Heaven True Monarchs struggled fiercely, roaring, "Zhang Yu! You can't trap me!"

Zhang Yu smiled faintly and said, "Swallowing Heaven, I don't need to imprison you for too long."

"You ask me what I'm waiting for?"

"I'm waiting for the sword to fly a little longer..."

Layers of clouds were torn apart in the sky, and countless distorted beams of light descended from the heavens, shooting toward Zhang Yu's location.

Seeing that scene, the Devouring Heaven True Monarch was slightly taken aback: "That is..."

Zhang Yu knew that it was the Void Flying Thunder, remotely supported by Tianjian University. He had called it in shortly after the start of the battle. It was jointly controlled by 12 Nascent Soul True Monarchs, with a total of 9,999 Void Flying Thunders, enough to blast any Nascent Soul cultivator into ashes.

Of course, this is on the premise that the target is hit.

However, it is obviously not an easy task to travel thousands of miles to hit a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

But at this moment, the Devouring Heaven True Monarch was temporarily suppressed by Zhang Yu and had nowhere to hide.

"Zhang! Yu!"

As the 9,999 Void Flying Lightning Bolts drew ever closer, the Devouring Heaven True Lord struggled violently and roared in resentment, "If you weren't so rich, why would you resort to scattering money? If I weren't so poor, why would I be unable to resist picking up the money? I never imagined that my rebellion against the Heavenly Court, my vow to shatter Kunlun, would end in defeat today, all because of money..."

"Money?" Zhang Yu said calmly, "Swallowing Heaven, are you really poor? Are you really so poor that you can't survive without picking up my money?"

"Swallowing Heaven, you didn't lose to money, you lost to greed."

Zhang Yu recalled the scenes of the other party robbing demon descendants, raiding ten schools, thanking people for their donations, and picking up red envelopes...

"You are greedy and insatiable, unwilling to miss out on any benefit or give up any spirit coin. This... is the reason for your downfall."

The next moment, with Zhang Yu pushing with both hands, the suppressed Devouring Heaven True Monarch took the initiative to meet the flying lightning bolts of the Void and turned to ashes in the sky full of fire.

At the same time, Zhang Pianpian, who was calculating the intelligence of the fifth layer within the Taiqing territory, suddenly looked at the Soul-Guiding Pool, where a cultivation technique was slowly emerging.

Meanwhile, deep within the Dark Spirit Realm, the Devouring Heaven True Monarch roared, "Zhang! Yu!"

Not far from the battlefield between Zhang Yu and Devouring Heaven True Monarch, Great Master True Monarch revealed a slight smile: "Good, Devouring Heaven's defeat is well done. With Devouring Heaven's defeat, Zhang Yu not only had a lot of magic power consumed, but now the value of my defeating him is even greater."

But at that moment, a message appeared in the eyes of the True Lord of the College.

Immortal Slayer: Zhang Yu, I will slay him. Don't interfere later.
