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

So, what would be the result after Meng Yu logged in fifteen days later?

Xue Haoyong and True Monarch Yu Xia exchanged glances, suddenly feeling that certain things might truly be out of control.

For instance, the stunning slash from Meng Yu just now.

...

After logging out, Meng Yu breathed a sigh of relief. However, this time, it wasn't three beautiful ladies at the door but a large group of Golden Cores.

Everyone, smiling, pulled Meng Yu out to celebrate. He had won, no matter from which perspective.

Then, the Flying Boat continued forward, and the journey was very peaceful.

"Up ahead is Dead City."

Dead City was extremely large, to the extent that one had to detour to pass through.

A thousand years ago, this had been a grand city to a great degree, but it suddenly lost all communication with the outside world overnight. Countless Cultivators who explored it also vanished without a trace, only for it to reappear in the eyes of the public after a long time, unwelcoming to humans. Likely a Grade Four Ghost Path creature had turned millions of people here into Death Cultists and used changes in the Spirit Vein to form a Great Formation.

"Should we detour left or right?"

The world is vast; numerous horrors dwell within. Even the Four Great Sects or other Holy Lands turn a blind eye to these entities.

Firstly, these places are very special. Even a Nascent Soul might fall here, and even if you gather a team stronger than theirs to exterminate the demons, what if they hide and seek revenge later?

After weighing the pros and cons, it's better to avoid them.

"Never mind, let's keep moving forward."

Meng Yu looked at the distant, dark city, thinking of the scene of the town's destruction a thousand years ago, wondering if those people inside had hoped for a Chivalrous Hero to swoop down from the heavens and save them from the disaster in their final moments.

"But, it's very dangerous inside, even if..."

Master Tianyue frowned beside him.

Dead City was situated in a critical location. Taihe Sect had considered eliminating it, but the monstrous Ghouls inside were Grade Four creatures. If they struck the snake without killing it, it would be a major problem, and if they ended up mutually annihilated, it wouldn't be worth it.

"Some things have to be done by someone, right?"

Meng Yu smiled.

Looking into the distance, he recalled how Mirror twelve had single-handedly wiped out the Cultivator Legion of Eternal Night Palace back then, and now, perhaps there were Golden Cores and Nascent Souls from Myriad Gold Pavilion or other Sects hiding on the outskirts, preparing for ambushes and such.

Even in the entire northwest, some people are proclaiming that barbarians from remote Western Wastes have arrived; let's all gang up on them.

Externally, a flurry of chaos and various events unfolded incessantly.

Human hearts are sometimes very interesting.

On the Flying Boat, seventy-two Golden Cores flew out, led by Fairy Taohua.

The land beneath was all ruins, intense poison fumes mixed with various monsters and other hidden anomalies turned this place into a no-man's land.

Many things you can avoid, just like Eternal Night Palace, the largest sect in the northwest, but when things come to a desperate pass, everyone is the first to abandon ship.

Most of the Seven Great Sects in the northwest would rather cooperate with Meng Yu than have Eternal Night Palace perish!

Seventy-two is a very special number in Cultivation, seventy-two Golden Cores ascended into the sky as intense sunlight fell, Fairy Taohua waved her hand, and a Formation Diagram flew into the air.

A fervent sun appeared in the sky, and the seventy-two Golden Cores transformed into Golden Crows circling around.

Wood fuels fire, and moreover, since the Golden Cores themselves are a channel to all techniques, while not as terrifying as thirty-six Fire Element Golden Cores' volcanic magma, their precise control was no less impressive.

Great Sun Patrol Map.

A war-oriented Formation Diagram, very, very costly. The reason Meng Yu managed to buy it from the Blood God Sect was primarily because they needed Spirit Stones and were keen on forming alliances, and the Immortal Sect had already agreed to supply them.

But using it here was indeed very worthwhile.

Calamity descended.

Endless flames fell from the sky, incinerating everything.

A Fire Element Formation Diagram, a battle machine crafted by the Blood God Sect, boundless Great Solar True Fire, Tri-Fire, Demon-Breaking Holy Fire, and other various flames descended from the sky. Combined with the Golden Cores' Battle Array, the Formation Diagram linked everyone's combat power, continuously bombarding.

Isn't the terrifying Dead City formidable?

We just stepped on it as we passed by, do you have a problem with that?

The Battle Array maximized the power of the Golden Cores, and sufficient Spirit Stones allowed everyone to squander them. After burning for a full two hours, the true face of Dead City was revealed.

It was a pile of sticky black soil!

For some reason, the Five-Colored Soil in this city had mutated and merged with the city itself, nearly indestructible; it met its natural enemy (Meng Yu had sent its information to people from Immortal Sect and Blood God Sect, confirming its existence and combat capabilities).

The battle lasted a day; the Grade Four Earth Puppet ultimately perished, the black city walls turned to ashes, and the terrifying ghosts vanished without a trace.

Meng Yu had not used his full strength, still thinking whether any particularly formidable enemies would emerge below. However, was this it?

Then, westward again, and after another seven days, they encountered another perilous place.

Here was a swampland; black swamps bred many monsters, the stifling, humid, and bloated air including various small poisonous creatures made this a world of horror.

Perfect, to test the second Formation Diagram here.

Endless falling leaves rustled down.
