In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 651 Impact on Fusion (Part 1)

The chaos within the valley continued. Some of the more astute individuals had already slipped away after taking advantage of the confusion to plunder some resources, but many more demonic cultivators were still fighting fiercely for their own interests, with screams and cries of battle echoing throughout the valley.

Suddenly, an inexplicable pressure swept through the entire Demon Wind Valley, as if even the air itself had frozen.

Dark Lord frowned and looked up at the sky.

All that could be seen in the sky were countless bright, colorful lights, surging wildly into the depths of the valley from all directions.

"The essence of heaven and earth!"

"Could it be that a rare treasure is about to be born!"

All the demonic cultivators who witnessed this scene stopped fighting, their eyes filled with greed.

In the blink of an eye, a large expanse of five-colored spiritual clouds gathered above Demon Wind Valley, covering most of the sky.

As the primordial energy of heaven and earth continued to gather, a humanoid phantom, hundreds of feet tall, gradually appeared in the five-colored spiritual clouds, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

Suddenly, a long howl rang out, followed by an immense pressure erupting from the phantom.

The pressure was so intense it was almost unbelievable. All the demonic cultivators within a hundred miles of Demon Wind Valley felt their bodies sink. Those with weaker cultivation levels simply rolled over and fainted, with faint traces of blood flowing from their seven orifices.

Even the three more powerful demons—the one with a goat's head and a human body, the gray-faced old demon, and the two-headed demon—felt their vision go black and immediately knelt on the ground.

Only Dark Lord seemed to have anticipated this, his body flashing with demonic light, yet he remained steady, his eyes filled with greed.

"What's going on? Has this magical artifact taken human form?!" The two-headed demon murmured, struggling to raise its head.

"What do you mean by 'transformation of a rare treasure'? Are your two heads filled with mush? This is clearly someone trying to break through a bottleneck, and it's very likely they're trying to break through the bottleneck of the Venerable Realm!"

Although the old demon with the ashen face was not the most powerful among the demons, his mind and knowledge were not simple. In a short time, he had guessed most of the facts, which made him secretly extremely horrified.

"What! Breaking through to the Venerable Realm!" Upon hearing this, the ram-headed, human-bodied demon's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he looked at Dark Lord somewhat belatedly: "Lord Dark Lord, did you already know?"

“Indeed, when I arrived outside the valley, I could tell that this celestial phenomenon was not the birth of some rare treasure, but rather that someone was attempting to break through to the Venerable Realm!” Dark Venerable replied without turning his head, his eyes fixed on the illusory figure.

Upon hearing this, the three demons' expressions changed drastically.

Interfering with a powerful expert's breakthrough to the Venerable Realm is undoubtedly a grave taboo. Regardless of whether the expert succeeds or not, they will inevitably suffer retaliation afterward. The three demons were filled with regret and fear, hoping only to extricate themselves as soon as possible and get far away from this place.

Dark Lord seemed to sense the three demons' thoughts, and suddenly turned his head, saying with a half-smile, "Actually, from another perspective, this is no different from the birth of a rare treasure. To be able to cultivate to this level, this person must possess many treasures and opportunities."

Upon hearing this, the three demons were shocked once again. It turned out that the old demon Dark Lord wanted to take the opportunity to kill and rob!

"Choosing to break through to a higher realm in such a remote place means he must be a rogue cultivator without a home. As long as you don't let him escape, you don't need to worry about any retaliation," Dark Lord continued to tempt you.

"But the opponent is, after all, a late-stage master of the Demonic Sect. Right now, the mere pressure from him is already making it hard for us to breathe..." The ram-headed, human-bodied demon looked worried.

"Mastery in the later stages?"

"Humph!"

"Below the Venerable Ones, I have never suffered a defeat!"

Dark Lord's expression darkened, and his demonic light surged, encompassing the three demons.

With the Dark Lord's intervention, the oppressive aura emanating from the three demons immediately dissipated.

"What if this person gets incredibly lucky and actually manages to break through?" The old demon with the ashen face was still worried.

"Even if he were a true Demon Lord, I could fight him! Even if he succeeds in breaking through, his realm is unstable, so what is there to fear?"

"Moreover, breaking through to the Demon Lord realm is not that easy. Right now, he is only in the process of shaping his body. Soon, a tribulation of lightning will descend upon him. Even if he survives the tribulation, there are still the even more terrifying extraterrestrial demons. In addition, we are watching him closely from the sidelines. How could he possibly succeed!" A fierce glint flashed in Dark Lord's eyes, his tone filled with disdain and confidence.

"But what can the three of us, who are only at the early stage of the Demon Sect, do?" The two-headed demon smiled bitterly.

"The three of you get ready and await my orders. We'll act together when the time comes. The more people there are, the more energy he'll have to spare, and the more likely he is to fall prey to his inner demons."

After this is accomplished, you will certainly receive your share of the benefits.

"Furthermore, don't even think about fooling me. The guy you three killed earlier was one of his clones, so it's too late to stop now!" Dark Lord continued to tempt and coerce.

This?

The three demons exchanged bewildered glances, finally understanding why the Dark Lord hadn't stopped them from killing and robbing earlier. It turned out he had planned all of this all along.

Knowing there was no way out, the three demons had no choice but to agree reluctantly. They immediately focused their minds and prepared to obey the Dark Lord's orders.

Suddenly, muffled thunder rumbled faintly from the five-colored spiritual clouds high in the sky.

"They're here!" Dark Lord's gaze sharpened as he looked toward the location of the illusory figure.

Before long, thunder roared, followed by flashes of gold and silver lightning. Then, large arcs of purple lightning appeared in the clouds.

The three-colored lightning flashed and intertwined, like electric snakes appearing and disappearing in the clouds.

"It's actually a three-colored lightning tribulation. It seems this person has attempted to break through to the Venerable Realm multiple times!" A trace of solemnity flashed in Dark Venerable's eyes, before he regained his cold smile: "But that's precisely why it's even more difficult to pass this time. The power of the lightning tribulation is more terrifying each time."

Hearing this, the three demons felt even more at ease. This Dark Lord had also attempted to break through to the Venerable Realm multiple times, though without success, he certainly had the authority to speak on this matter.

"As expected, I couldn't escape the tribulation of the Integration Stage after all." In his sea of ​​consciousness, Lu Yuan's second Nascent Soul sighed softly, but there was not much fear on his face.

After saying that, he made several hand seals, and five-colored lightning instantly surrounded his body.

The main nascent soul nodded, opened its small mouth, and a dark blue bead the size of a walnut flew out.

The moment the orb flew out, it immediately began to spin rapidly. The five-colored lightning on the second nascent soul's body, as if drawn by an invisible force, surged toward the orb.

"Although this Thunder Control Pearl is now useless and can no longer be refined by others, it is not entirely without purpose."

At the same time, as if sensing something, the thunder in the sky roared loudly, and many electric snakes shot towards a certain place in the clouds at the same time, transforming into a three-colored electric dragon with a body of a thousand feet.

A deafening thunderclap resounded, and the electric dragon's body crackled with electricity. With a swift movement, it pounced down with overwhelming force.

Seeing this, the illusory figure below made a few hand gestures and then pointed at the electric dragon.
