With the blessings of Pangu's merits and good fortune bestowed upon him, Hu Le naturally need not worry about lacking merit and good fortune in his cultivation.
After Hu Le obtained the Dao Fruit, he entered a period of rest and recuperation, living a leisurely life in the Heavenly Palace while pondering the choice of the next Great Dao.
Just as Hu Le's merit and fortune were gradually fading away, Guan Kong suddenly came to visit.
"Master, I am about to attempt to break through to the Great Luo Dao Fruit, and I hope that you can protect me." Guan Kong'er made his purpose clear as soon as they met.
Speaking of which, now that she is facing another tribulation in her quest to reach the Great Luo realm, she is quite wary of it and has no choice but to come here to seek Hu Le's help to protect her.
Hu Le naturally wouldn't refuse after hearing this, and pointed, and a futon appeared under Guan Kong.
"Thank you, teacher."
After observing the void and expressing his gratitude, he sat on the futon and began to close his eyes to calm his mind.
Hu Le also closed his eyes, his divine sense filling the hall, sensing the state of emptiness.
Several months later, Guan Kong's aura suddenly surged, and the spiritual energy around him became active...
Inside Guan Kong's Purple Mansion Spiritual Platform, she had just managed to condense a primordial Dao Seed, but before she could jump out of the River of Destiny, a series of cold laughs suddenly rang out from the depths of her Purple Mansion.
She quickly released her divine sense and immediately saw a black-robed old demon flying over.
"Hehe... What a pure and flawless Dao Seed! Today is the day this Demon Lord will make a fortune!" The old demon glanced at the Dao Seed hanging above Guan Kong's head, a greedy glint in his eyes.
The so-called demonic tribulation is nothing more than a demon coming to obstruct the path.
If you can defeat the demon, everything will be fine. You will naturally be blessed with good fortune and merit, and you will also gain the demon's magical power.
If the demon wins, it can naturally seize the cultivator's magical power and cultivation.
The one who came to set up this demonic tribulation for Guan Kong and block her path was a demon lord from the demon realm, named Wuxiang.
This formless demon lord was a demon that the original demon lord had enlightened a long time ago. Although he was also a demon lord, he was just a junior in the demon realm.
However, relying on the Demon Lord's favor and his own strength, he snatched the task of setting up a demonic tribulation for Guan Kong from the hands of the Demon Lords.
"How dare you! You think you can ruin my Great Dao?!"
Seeing that the Demon Lord Wuxiang coveted his Dao Seed, Guan Kong was furious. A sword appeared in his palm, and he rode on a twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus, with the Dao Seed on his head, and charged towards the Demon Lord Wuxiang.
"Good timing!"
The Demon Lord Wuxiang sneered, his figure shifted, and he suddenly transformed into Guan Kong, also with a Dao Fruit on his head, lotus flowers under his feet, and a sword in his hand.
The two are so alike that it's impossible to tell them apart.
In an instant, the two were locked in a fierce battle within Guan Kong's Purple Mansion...
Hu Le sat upright on the cloud bed, sensing the fluctuations in Guan Kong's aura, and frowned slightly.
He knew that Guan Kong had probably already entered the demonic tribulation.
However, he couldn't very well lend a hand, because if he did, the Heavenly Dao would unleash the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.
Although he was not afraid, he was worried that Guan Kong would not be able to withstand it.
Moreover, even if he forcibly helps Guan Kong overcome this tribulation this time, the Heavenly Dao will inevitably brew an even greater tribulation to befall Guan Kong in the future.
Of course, if Guan Kong is ultimately unable to overcome his tribulation and is even in a hopeless situation, Hu Le might step in to save Guan Kong's soul.
Letting her undergo another lifetime of cultivation would be a fitting tribute to the master-disciple relationship between them.
After all, if one cannot even overcome the Great Luo Tribulation, how can one be worthy of being his disciple...
At this moment, a fierce battle was raging within the Guan Kong Zi Fu Ling Tai. The Wu Xiang Demon Lord was also a powerful demon, deeply versed in the wonders of the Wu Xiang transformation.
Guan Kong's various supernatural powers and transformations were simulated so vividly that Guan Kong initially thought he was fighting against another version of himself.
However, after exchanging a few blows, she realized that what is fake is ultimately fake. Supernatural powers, spells, and even techniques can be imitated, but innate spiritual treasures are always unique.
Although the Demon Lord Wuxiang possesses great supernatural powers, he is still unable to generate innate spiritual treasures on his own.
If he could even conjure up a top-grade innate spiritual treasure like the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus out of thin air.
Then he wouldn't just be a mere demon lord, but someone capable of seizing the positions of the Primordial Demon Lord and the Styx Ancestor.
Creating top-tier innate spiritual treasures out of thin air—not even Pangu or Hongjun, the ancestor, possessed such supernatural power…
Having discovered the weakness of the Demon Lord Wuxiang, Guan Kong naturally wouldn't be polite to him.
The Sun and Moon Divine Mirror, the Yin-Yang Whisk, the Primordial Taiji Talisman Seal, and even the Dragon and Tiger Ruyi Scissors, among other spiritual treasures, were all brought out.
The Demon Lord Wuxiang was immediately at a disadvantage and had no choice but to use his demonic supernatural powers and techniques to fight back.
Although demonic magic is unpredictable, insidious, and mysterious, Guan Kong possesses the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus, which is specifically designed to counter his demonic supernatural powers and magic.
This made his situation even more precarious.
After barely managing to hold on for over a hundred more rounds, he was finally cut in two by the Dragon Tiger Ruyi Scissors.
Fortunately, he had already mastered the formless and shapeless wonder of the demonic path. As long as his primordial spirit remained intact, let alone if an avatar was cut in two, or even if it was reduced to ashes, he could recover it with a mere thought.
But Guan Kong didn't give him that chance at all. He raised his hand and pointed, shooting out a beam of white light that struck Wu Xiang's chest from afar.
This white light was a supernatural power she comprehended after studying the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus, called the White Lotus Pure Fire.
The white light struck Wuxiang and exploded, turning into clusters of pure white flames that burned on Wuxiang's chest.
In an instant, his upper body was burned to ashes.
In the critical moment, the Demon Lord Wuxiang could only escape from his primordial spirit, wrapped in a cloud of black mist, and forcibly break out of the White Lotus Pure Fire.
Seeing this, Guan Kong still didn't give him a chance to catch his breath and recover. With a thought, the Dragon-Tiger Ruyi Scissors descended from the sky and gently circled the Formless Demon Lord once.
"Alas! My life is over!"
The Demon Lord Wuxiang let out a miserable cry as his primordial spirit was instantly severed in two.
"Guan Kong, I will remember this grudge, and I will definitely seek revenge for you in the future! Just you wait..."
The Demon Lord Wuxiang uttered a harsh statement, then sent a wisp of thought away, disappearing directly into the void and returning to the Demon Realm.
In a palace in the Demon Realm, the consciousness of the Formless Demon Lord had returned to his physical body.
After the battle just now, he had almost lost all his magical power and spiritual energy, and his aura was now dissipating.
He hurriedly took out a large, pitch-black cauldron.
Black smoke rose from the cauldron, accompanied by constant wails and howls.
He rushed to the front of the cauldron, reached into it, and pulled out a huge, jet-black demon. He opened its blood-red maw and shoved the demon into it.
After a series of powerful bites from the bird, it was swallowed whole with a gulp...
