Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

The battle unfolded in an instant.

Below, the nine Golden Core cultivators each found their match, while Bai Hu entangled with True Monarch Yu Xia, and True Monarch Bai Sheng, seeing the odds against him, fled at the first opportunity, leaving only Three Extremes True Monarch to face Meng Yu head-on.

Speaking of which, this was Meng Yu's first one-on-one with Three Extremes True Monarch.

Thirty-two Golden Rings surged out, covering the sky and earth; each was as powerful as a full-strength strike from a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the rings comparable to the sharpest divine weapons, transforming into a golden river!

Three Extremes True Monarch exerted his full strength this time; he too wanted to know just how much he fell short compared to Meng Yu?

During this period, he had always played the role of an archer!

Well then, let Meng Yu show him just how wide the gap was!

Meng Yu gestured towards the void, and his six fallen bodies burst open; these were his bodies, containing his Essence Blood!

And also his Divine Soul!

Something mysterious appeared, whispers filled the air, and the Essence Blood seemed to come to life, flowing like entwined tree roots towards Meng Yu's body. At the moment the long saber was slashed down, space itself seemed to tear apart!

The Saber Light was like an ocean, with droplets of blood falling from the sky – not Meng Yu's Essence Blood, but pure True Qi instead!

With this swing of his saber, an endless blood rain shot toward Three Extremes True Monarch!

The first strike was the Rain of Heavenly Blood!

The golden current formed by the thirty-two Golden Rings was immediately submerged.

Then came the second strike.

The Saber Light was like poetry, yet in an instant, it became nothingness, and the air was filled with dense patterns. Everyone heard heart-wrenching cries!

In the West, it was the wailing of a female demon, while in the East, it was called the Crying of Ghosts and Gods!

Rain of Heavenly Blood, Crying of Ghosts and Gods!

The body of Three Extremes True Monarch was directly hit by the sonic waves, and the next moment, he was sent flying far away.

It was then Meng Yu suddenly appeared in front of Three Extremes True Monarch.

By this point, Three Extremes True Monarch was already breathless, but Meng Yu wanted the climax to continue!

After facing defeat in five battles, he was prepared to give these people a surprise during the sixth, even if victory was impossible, there was at least a chance!

But still, he had to thank Bai Hu.

Then, Meng Yu's saber fell.

The moment the Saber Light fell, it seemed as if there were six other versions of himself surrounding him!

When practicing Blood Transmutation Divine Saber to its highest realm, the user can harness the strength of their past, present, and future selves, even borrowing the power of like-minded friends who have shared life and death.

But from the perspective of the evil path, what could be better than one's own corpse?

These were truly himself!

And he had died seven times in a row!

Seven people formed the arrangement of the Heavenly Dipper Seven Stars Formation, and then swung the saber as one!

This strike had already the taste of the Four Great Void.

Past, present, future, plus the paradoxical world of the Ascension List, resulted in this single strike.

Regrettably, he had only dabbled superficially in these techniques and had not fully comprehended them; else, having died twenty-seven times in succession, the final strike would have been the Great Formation of the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions!

The Saber Light flashed past, the sturdy Golden Rings broke like rotten wood, and the accumulated Spiritual Energy couldn't stop the falling saber.

Droplets of blood rained down, permeating the body of Three Extremes True Monarch, while Meng Yu's strike split the river crimson!

Though the tragic nobility of a hard fight ending in defeat was absent, the taste of victory could still be savored.

The moon curved like a sickle!

"Meng Yu!"

Three Extremes True Monarch let out a howl, suffering a fatal wound.

Three days ago, in combat with Meng Yu, his and Meng Yu's combat strength was evenly matched. Even if Meng Yu's swordsmanship was divine, his Golden Rings' myriad changes didn't fall short compared to Meng Yu, but today, under the eyes of all, he lost to Meng Yu!

Meng Yu struck three times, and he couldn't block any of them!

This was an overwhelming victory; Meng Yu had evolved to completely dominate him!

His screams didn't last long; the Saber Aura of the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber burst forth, and Three Extremes True Monarch's body instantly turned into a desiccated corpse. Meng Yu's blade turned, entering the battle between True Monarch Yu Xia and Bai Hu.

The Saber Light flowed like water, twenty-three consecutive strikes merging into Bai Hu's battle, and then the Saber Light fell like a waterfall, True Monarch Yu Xia perished in battle!

The battle below was even simpler; those Golden Core cultivators who could flee did so, those who couldn't died cleanly.

"Thank you everyone, much appreciated."

A skirmish thus concluded in such a short span.

Originally, it was a slaughter against Meng Yu, but who could have anticipated that later, a large group would surround and gang up on him.

"These bastards!"

Xue Haoyong and others stood outside the town, their faces looking very unpleasant.

Only now did he suddenly realize that he had been tricked; his own words had become the best weapon against him, and those who intervened had no more scruples.

"Let him laugh for now; soon he won't be able to."

The figure of Three Extremes True Monarch appeared beside Xue Haoyong; he watched Meng Yu with a cold laugh.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, True Monarch Yu Xia furrowed his brow.

Meng Yu didn't go to the center to touch the flag!

"Damn it, he doesn't want to be the town leader!"

Suddenly, True Monarch Bai Sheng smacked his leg.

The Four Great Sects might have thought that Meng Yu needed the Ascension List, or to use the characters within it to cultivate and so on, but the problem was, everyone was wrong.

Before, Meng Yu owed the Four Great Sects a favor; the Taiyi Sect had practically handed him a town on a silver platter.

And now, Meng Yu had given up the town.

With the favor settled, all that remained was hatred.
