Chapter 383 I Established a Sect in the Cultivation World (12)
To the east, above a layer of clouds, stood an old man in a gray robe, at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, with his hands behind his back. Several Golden Core disciples followed beside him.
"Master, such powerful demonic energy! This tribulation is probably the hurdle for advancing from the seventh to the eighth rank!" A disciple exclaimed with burning eyes.
"This is an opportunity!" Greed flashed in the gray-robed elder's eyes: "If I can obtain its demon core, my breakthrough to the late stage will be just around the corner! If I can subdue it while it is weak, the strength of my sect will surely increase greatly!"
Not far away, another old woman at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage, holding a snake staff, also led several disciples, coldly watching this side.
"Hmph, old ghost He, you're here too."
"Isn't Granny Xu the same?" the gray-robed old man replied with a forced smile.
Further away, a young man at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage, dressed in brocade robes, was piloting a magnificent flying boat, watching with great interest.
Zhou Jue's divine sense swept over it gently, counting the details.
One, two, three...
There were five Nascent Soul cultivators in total. The one with the highest cultivation level was an old monster at the eighth level of Nascent Soul who kept his aura hidden in the shadows.
To the west, two equally massive demonic energies were also rapidly approaching.
A leopard with yellow, black, and white stripes all over its body, and an eagle with a wingspan of nearly 100 meters, soared into the sky from Broken Cloud Cliff.
Their ideas are simple and pure.
Swallow it!
Swallow its demon core!
Besides these top-tier combatants, from all directions, there were dozens of sixth and seventh-tier demonic beasts, as well as hundreds of Golden Core cultivators in groups of three to five, like sharks smelling blood, quietly lurking on the outer perimeter, waiting for an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
In Zhou Jue's mind, the ability of the Listening Sea Fang allowed her to easily capture those suppressed voices and malicious thoughts.
"Once it's half-dead from being hacked, we'll all attack together!"
"So many people, including an eighth-tier demon! I wonder if we can even get a piece of the pie!"
"Once the tribulation ends, it will be at its weakest. Everyone, seize the opportunity!"
A cold smile curled at the corners of Zhou Jue's mouth.
Boom—!
The second and third bolts of heavenly lightning arrived one after another, each one thicker and more violent than the last.
Jingbai was covered in blood, its white fur almost completely ripped off, revealing charred flesh underneath, and its breath was extremely weak.
It was knocked down time and time again, but struggled to get back up each time, its golden vertical pupils always burning with an indomitable flame.
It stubbornly held on, refusing to use the Xuanlin Armor given to it by Zhou Jue.
This is its pride, its dignity as a descendant of the White Tiger.
"roar!"
Another bolt of lightning struck, and with a crisp "crack," one of Jingbai's front legs was severed.
It let out a mournful cry, and its massive body could no longer support itself, falling heavily to the ground.
"Haha, it's no good!"
"Look, its leg is broken!"
"There's only one more to go! We can't hold on any longer!"
The onlookers on the periphery whispered excitedly, rubbing their hands together, their magical artifacts gleaming.
Above the sky, the swirling clouds reached their peak, and the enormous vortex at its center was no longer pure black, but began to shimmer with multicolored light.
Red, yellow, blue, green, purple.
Five colors of lightning slowly intertwined and merged in the vortex.
Finally, it coalesced into a five-colored divine lightning bolt, only as thick as an arm, yet emanating an aura that made all Nascent Soul cultivators tremble with fear.
"Five Elements Divine Thunder!"
The old monster at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage exclaimed in shock, "This beast actually attracted the Five Elements Divine Lightning! Its bloodline is definitely extraordinary!"
"I'll risk it all! Even just a small piece of this demon core would be enough to extend my life by a hundred years!"
"We'll risk it all! Even if we can't get the demon core, getting some of its flesh and blood is a bonus!"
Everyone's breathing stopped.
They stared intently at the five-colored divine lightning that was brewing, then glanced at the dying Jingbai on the ground.
This is the last one!
As soon as it lands, whether the white tiger is dead or alive, it will be the best time for them to make their move!
Zhou Jue remained seated, looking at Jing Bai and sending her a thought.
"If you can't handle it, then use it."
Jingbai's battered body trembled slightly as it slowly raised its head to look in Zhou Jue's direction. Its eyes, with only one remaining intact, were filled with determination.
No!
It has to rely on itself!
It wanted to show its master that the contracted beast she had chosen was not useless!
"roar--!"
A roar that shook the heavens and the earth erupted from Jingbai's throat.
At this moment, it forcibly burned its own demon core essence to straighten its severed front leg again!
With its head held high and its last ounce of strength, it faced the might of heaven!
boom!
The five-colored divine lightning fell silently.
There was no earth-shattering roar, no devastating violence.
It was like a colorful silk thread, gently landing on Jingbai's forehead.
Then, it instantly darted inside.
The enormous white body suddenly froze.
The next second, a burst of multicolored light erupted from its body!
"Awooo—!"
The mournful cry, so piercingly mournful, echoed through the valley.
Its flesh, its bones, its meridians, at this moment, were crushed inch by inch by the power of the Five Elements Divine Thunder, and then reassembled inch by inch!
This is destruction, but also rebirth!
The thick, ominous clouds in the sky slowly dissipated.
Golden rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone down.
The vibrant rain, brimming with life force, fell softly onto Jingbai's battered body, and its charred flesh began to heal at a visible speed.
"Now! Charge!"
The gray-robed elder at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage reacted the fastest. With a sharp shout, he summoned a golden flying wheel magic weapon, which transformed into a stream of light and went straight for Jingbai's head!
"Let's do it!"
"Kill it!"
Almost simultaneously, the leopard opened its blood-red maw and sped away.
The eagle's wings created gusts of wind.
The other Nascent Soul cultivators also unleashed their strongest magic weapons, launching attacks from all directions.
Hundreds of Golden Core cultivators also joined forces, unleashing a deluge of sword light, talismans, and spells that, like a dazzling fireworks display, completely engulfed Jing Bai, who had just been reborn.
It was clear that countless attacks were about to land on Jing Bai.
Zhou Jue moved. She no longer concealed her aura, and a powerful pressure from the Nascent Soul stage instantly enveloped the entire battlefield, like an invisible mountain.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The golden flying wheel, which had been hurtling towards them, froze in mid-air.
The swiftly moving leopard suddenly stopped halfway.
The overwhelming sword light and spells seemed to freeze in mid-air, like a scene that had been paused.
At that moment, everyone's movements suddenly froze.
The spiritual energy instantly became chaotic. The Golden Core cultivators with lower cultivation levels didn't even have time to utter a sound before they were forced to their knees by this force, coughing up blood.
The arrogant Nascent Soul cultivators' greedy smiles froze into horror.
A Nascent Soul cultivator?!
This is the oppressive aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator! There's actually a Nascent Soul cultivator lying in wait here?! Their minds raced. If a Nascent Soul cultivator wanted the demon core, would they still have a chance?
Just then, Zhou Jue's voice clearly reached the ears of everyone and every demon beast.
"This is my contracted beast."
"Gentlemen, who dares to make a move?"
"Don't blame me, you're welcome!"
