If they don't take action and let Hua Nian leave, there are so many people here. If they react to the upper realm, the two of them will be considered incompetent by the celestial officials of the upper realm. They might even have their cultivation destroyed, and then they would be worse off than mortals.
Moreover, for Chu Yungui and Ouyang Chao, Hua Nian also had an irreconcilable feud with them.
Therefore, Hua Nian, this female demon, must die today.
The saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot!" With Hua Nian's talent in cultivation, if they don't kill her today, they don't know if they'll ever have another chance; and Hua Nian would never let them go.
These two, one a demon and the other a Taoist, were usually at odds, but today they were united against a common enemy. As the dark clouds dispersed, the mountain peak where Chu Nian was located revealed a human figure sitting cross-legged. The two exchanged a glance, took the lead in riding the wind, and each summoned their natal magic weapon, using all their strength to bombard Chu Nian.
The other five Nascent Soul cultivators present, though belonging to three different races, also felt they couldn't let this golden opportunity slip by.
Daoist cultivators believed that Hua Nian was a female demon and should be killed; demonic cultivators thought that this female demon had killed countless powerful people and must have countless treasures on her body, so they couldn't fall behind in order to seize the treasures; as for demon cultivators, it goes without saying that whether they were Daoist or demonic, they were all human cultivators, and human cultivators were the enemies of demon cultivators—those who are not of our kind must have different hearts, so they were naturally even happier to kill a generation of powerful human.
The combined attack of the seven peak Nascent Soul cultivators instantly caused a violent upheaval, with rocks flying everywhere. Even the magical artifacts they unleashed created visible spatial rifts due to their immense magical energy.
Suddenly, a scream pierced the sky.
The seven powerful figures, riding the wind, surrounded Chu Nian from seven different directions. In mid-air, they rapidly decomposed at a visible speed, turning into dried corpses.
Since Chu Nian discovered their intention to take advantage of her vulnerability early on, how could she not have taken precautions? Before the seventh bolt of heavenly lightning struck, she secretly shot out seven streams of spiritual energy, which infiltrated the dantian of the seven men, waiting for them to circulate their spiritual energy so that she could directly absorb it with her spiritual energy.
Okay, she improved upon the method she used to absorb Lin Jingting's spiritual energy last time and used it here. She never expected these so-called Nascent Soul cultivators to be so easily drained; they all turned into dried corpses in the blink of an eye.
However, she had almost exhausted her magical energy to resist the golden heavenly lightning, and the original owner of this body was also injured and needed magical energy to repair herself. If she did not use this move and directly faced these seven powerful figures, she might not be able to withstand it.
Once the magical energy of the seven powerful beings entered her body, her nearly depleted spiritual energy was immediately replenished.
Chu Nian's Soul Ruins could automatically convert the magical energy of these three races with different attributes and integrate it into her spiritual power.
This made Chu Nian even more convinced that this Soul Ruins had existed all along, and that when he encountered the world of the Ghost Immortal, he had simply awakened it through certain spells.
The seven mummified corpses fell to the ground weakly.
In the distance, many cultivators were watching the tribulation from afar. Because the original owner had chosen the Tianmang Forest, where the three races met, people from all three races were there to watch the spectacle.
However, apart from these peak Nascent Soul experts who dared to get closer, how could the weaker ones dare to approach? They only dared to gaze from afar from several mountain peaks, hoping to gain some experience by observing others' progress.
The observers witnessed the seven Nascent Soul experts attempting to take advantage of the situation to kill someone, and of course, they also saw the seven desiccated corpses tumbling to the ground.
These people all gasped in shock.
After undergoing tribulation, Mahayana cultivators often need a certain amount of time to stabilize their realm. Moreover, since the next major realm after Mahayana cultivation involves ascension, celestial phenomena will appear after this tribulation.
After the seven mummified corpses landed, auspicious seven-colored clouds surged in from the horizon. The clouds transformed into dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns... all sorts of auspicious beasts appeared.
Chu Nian looked at these auspicious beasts. They seemed to be formed from auspicious clouds, but Chu Nian clearly sensed the presence of spirits among them. It seemed that some living beings had inscribed their thoughts in these auspicious beasts.
Chu Nian could sense their boundless worship and reverence.
Various celestial beasts and divine beasts, which are considered to exist only in the upper realm in the cultivation world, transformed from auspicious clouds and came to the sky near Chu Nian, prostrating themselves in worship.
Chu Nian was a little confused: Suddenly she felt like she had become the Lion King?!
While she was lost in thought, the crowd watching the tribulation from afar was already stunned by the spectacle presented by the auspicious clouds. Who would have thought that the celestial phenomena presented by the female demon undergoing tribulation would be like this? Could it be that this female demon was actually the Beast King from the upper realm, who had come to the lower realm in disguise for a "private visit"?
Countless auspicious beasts surged forth from the auspicious clouds as if paying homage. This scene lasted for seven days and seven nights. By then, Chu Nian had long since left the mountain where she had undergone tribulation; otherwise, would she have been left to face those seven desiccated corpses indefinitely? She immediately returned to the New Xuanyuan Palace, where the original owner of the Demon Realm resided.
Actually, this palace was built by Hua Nian in imitation of the Xuanyuan Palace, and it was originally named Xuanyuan Palace as well. However, no one in the cultivation world considered it the original Xuanyuan Palace. The original Xuanyuan Palace had many disciples, and the reason it was able to remain separate from the three races was because of its large number of disciples. With such a large base, there were naturally many powerful individuals, and its power was also enormous.
However, the current Xuanyuan Palace is not only incomparable to the original in terms of building scale, but even the disciples inside are just people that Hua Nian found to serve her, and their cultivation is limited. Its power is worlds apart from the previous Xuanyuan Palace.
Therefore, the cultivation world does not recognize it as Xuanyuan Palace, but only calls it the New Xuanyuan Palace, with the word "New" carrying a somewhat sarcastic connotation.
Chu Nian returned to the new Xuanyuan Palace, with auspicious clouds and mythical beasts above her head, and within half a day, the entire cultivation world knew about it.
Powerful figures from various races flocked to the scene, partly to see if the situation was truly as eerie as rumored, and partly to see if there was any profit to be made. After all, the female demon was now universally hated by all three races, and if someone made a move, they could take advantage of the chaos to skim some profits!
Xiao Huan had already escaped after the original owner went to undergo tribulation. Although she came from the upper realm, her cultivation level was only Nascent Soul. Regardless of whether the immortal curse she cast on the original owner killed her (the reason she was able to stay here before was because of the original owner's protection), she was not suitable to continue staying in the New Xuanyuan Palace.
She fled to the Taoist realm to find her little princess, Wen Ruyan.
Although Wen Ruyan only has five spiritual roots due to her immortal roots being sealed, and her cultivation started much later than Hua Nian's, she has successfully leaped into the Divine Transformation realm thanks to the heroine's halo and the help of the male lead, Hua Tianling.
In addition, she is a disciple of the Nebula Sect, and now, having successfully achieved the Nascent Soul stage, she has become one of the thirteen elders of the Nebula Sect.
