Chu Tianyao smiled faintly, "Hand over your storage bags and magical artifacts... and I might spare your lives."
The gaunt old man was taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "It seems you really don't want to live anymore."
The three cultivators at the eighth level of the Integration Realm looked like three brothers, and they understood each other perfectly.
They all stepped forward in unison. "Are you trying to kill yourself?"
The three of them seemed to have merged their cultivation levels, and they actually unleashed the power of the ninth level of the Integration Realm!
The current situation is equivalent to Chu Tianyao having to face three experts at the ninth level of the Integration Realm...
Once you reach the ninth level of the Integration Realm, you will all have your own unique strengths.
This is a realm that is only one step away from the strongest group of Mahayana cultivators in the Upper Realm.
These five people, working together, have successfully robbed many cultivators...
They saw Chu Tianyao purchasing several magic artifacts for the Integration Realm at the entrance of the magic artifact shop, so they followed him there.
These five people were very confident. Although Chu Tianyao was already a powerful expert at the ninth level of the Integration Realm, they did not believe that they could not defeat him if they joined forces.
The burly cultivator sneered, "Since he wants to die, let's grant his wish!"
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
A giant hammer appeared in his hand!
The burly cultivator picked up his hammer and brought it crashing down on Chu Tianyao...
This hammer is also a magic weapon of the Integration Realm. When it strikes down, its power is as if it could split the heavens and the earth.
The surrounding space was affected and emitted crackling and thunderous sounds.
The power of this hammer blow was like the descent of Thor, terrifying beyond measure.
However, it was all for naught...
Chu Tianyao calmly watched the giant hammer fall, and he simply reached out his hand to catch it.
He looked at the burly cultivator with some doubt, "That's it?! You dare to try and rob me of my path, and this is all you've got?!"
The burly cultivator seemed somewhat dumbfounded...
"What's going on?! How dare he catch my magic weapon with his bare hands... and actually succeeded?!"
"To catch a deadly attack from a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator with bare hands? Is that even possible?!" The burly cultivator was somewhat frantic. "Is this even the kind of strength a Nascent Soul cultivator could achieve?"
The burly monk was still in a daze, but his companions had already reacted.
Realizing Chu Tianyao's strength, the hunched old man spoke to his three brothers beside him.
"This guy is strong, let's all attack him together!"
After saying that, the old man took out a huge stick from thin air.
He was thin and hunched over, yet he wielded such a huge iron rod!
As the old man danced, the surrounding wind and frost seemed to be drawn in by the wind from his stick, all converging towards him.
In a mere instant... the old man unleashed 3,687 blows upon Chu Tianyao...
"My name is Quan Fengyun... and my special skill is called the Wind and Cloud Staff!"
Chu Tianyao smiled calmly, "I don't care what your name is, it's meaningless. You will all die soon."
He unleashed a punch, and the destructive power of the Heaven-Shaking Fist completely neutralized the attack of the Wind and Cloud Staff!
Quan Fengyun was sent flying by a single punch.
Chu Tianyao shook his head. "Too weak..."
The three cultivators at the eighth level of the Integration Realm joined forces to strike, triggering a celestial phenomenon.
The three brothers' combined attack actually unleashed a power surpassing that of the ninth level of the Integration Realm.
Their innate divine powers merged into one, summoning a celestial blade.
A knife fell from the sky!
There are knives in the sky...
This strike was like divine punishment, falling from the heavens.
Faced with such terrifying power, Chu Tianyao simply smiled and said, "How could a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator possibly activate the Heavenly Blade?"
"It's nothing more than a seductive trick... Even if the three of you joined forces, it would be nothing special."
A knife appeared in Chu Tianyao's hand, its blade exuding a bewitching aura and radiating a dark purple light.
This knife is called Enchanting.
Chu Tianyao smiled calmly, "Xuan Shang Slash!" Immediately, "Yao Rao" drew a strange arc in the air, purple light surged, forming a distorted spacetime rift, which contained indescribable power and beauty.
"Clang!" The two blades clashed, but no sparks flew...
But in just a moment, the Heavenly Blade began to crack inch by inch, eventually turning into dust, while the "Enchanting" in Chu Tianyao's hand shone even brighter with purple light, as if it had devoured the power of its opponent, becoming even more eerie and extraordinary.
With the "Heavenly Blade" broken, the three brothers suffered a backlash, all vomiting blood and sustaining serious injuries.
Chu Tianyao sighed, "It seems your skills have reached their limit... Well then, it's over."
The "enchanting" aura burst forth with a sky full of purple light, instantly enveloping the five Nascent Soul cultivators...
These five experts at the Integration Realm launched a powerful counterattack and struggled desperately, but it was all in vain.
Chu Tianyao's current combat strength is enough to rival a cultivator at the initial stage of the Mahayana realm...
He was on a completely different level from other Nascent Soul cultivators.
In an instant, the five cultivators who had been robbing the Dao were annihilated.
At the same time, the system's voice rang out.
"Ding! It has been detected that the host has killed five Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. The targets meet the conditions for proving the Dao through killing."
"Acquire 25 billion Dao Points... Current Dao Points".
"Ding! You currently have enough Dao Points to break through to the next major realm... (It takes 300 billion Dao Points to advance from the ninth level of the Integration Realm to the first level of the Mahayana Realm.) Current remaining Dao Points."
"Dao Derivation Points are automatically converted into cultivation realms..."
"Current cultivation level is the first level of the Mahayana Realm! (Each level of the Mahayana Realm requires Dao Derivation Points) Remaining Dao Derivation Points."
In that instant, Chu Tianyao's true essence surged within him, and the surrounding spiritual energy began to converge on him in an indescribable pattern, gradually forming a thick spiritual energy tornado that shot straight into the sky, tearing a brilliant streak of light through the night.
Chu Tianyao's state of mind also rose to an unprecedented height, as if he could touch the most essential rules and mysteries of the world.
A deep and resonant dragon roar resounded from his body, a sign that his true essence had reached its peak and was about to undergo a transformation.
Finally, Chu Tianyao's eyes snapped open, and two tangible beams of spiritual light pierced the night sky like sharp swords, shooting straight to the heavens and illuminating the entire valley as if it were daytime.
At this moment, his cultivation surged like a flood bursting its banks, breaking through the shackles of the Integration Realm and advancing towards the higher Mahayana Realm.
The primordial energy of heaven and earth responded to his call, surging even more fiercely into his body. Each cycle brought his soul and body an unprecedented baptism and sublimation.
Finally, when the last shackle was completely broken, Chu Tianyao's aura suddenly surged, and a vast and boundless power awakened within him, marking his true entry into the Mahayana realm.
Chu Tianyao slowly rose to his feet. "So this is the power of the Great Ascension Realm..."
