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

In the Eternal Night Palace,

the Eldest Princess sat quietly in her cave mansion, pondering her next move.

Only three days remained.

Meng Yu... even now, he was a mystery to her.

She had been intimately acquainted with Meng Yu for about ten days, skin to skin, thinking that she could fully understand the Blood God Sect's cultivation technique from him. As a sect leader's son, he surely knew the best and most profound techniques, but instead, they were all quite ordinary, including the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber.

Put it this way, this cultivation technique was quite common in the Eternal Night Palace's Scripture Pavilion, essentially no different from any other technique like White Crane Swordsmanship; it was merely that Meng Yu executed it well.

As for why his cultivation had progressed so quickly, from the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, she hadn't figured out what had happened in between.

At that moment, a warning siren sounded from the distance.

A full-scale assault had begun.

Huh?

What she certainly didn't know was that since Meng Yu was preparing for Core Formation, Mirror Twelve ordered an attack on the Eternal Night Palace.

First, they would force them into hiding, which would at least keep them from responding for a few days.

That way, they wouldn't dare to peek out and see what was actually happening.

...

Fairy Taohua hovered in midair, a bit restless.

She knew Meng Yu was about to form his core, but she had not anticipated it happening this fast.

This was not good, really not good.

It was not simply a matter of your cultivation and vital blood reaching their peaks for you to form a core; there was also the Divine Soul, and Meng Yu definitely had a Heart Demon right now!

She was well aware of how Meng Yu had spent these past several months (actually over a year)!

But no matter how much she tried to persuade him, Meng Yu indicated he had inspiration and was ready to act.

...

This Core Formation was indeed very sudden.

The Golden Cores of the Immortal Sect were all astonished upon hearing the news, and if it hadn't been for Meng Yu's intuition and heavenly guidance, they would have definitely attempted to forcefully stop him.

Other cultivators dreamed of Core Formation Elixirs, but Meng Yu had them already. However, he was not planning on relying on medicinal enhancements this time.

It wasn't out of pride, but rather because it was unnecessary.

Since the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, Meng Yu had never shortchanged himself—Superior Spirit Stones, the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Spirits, remnants of Nascent Souls, Golden Core Furnaces, Divine Refinement through the Ascension List. He had received the best treatment, and everything had naturally come to fruition.

Then there was the enhancement tenfold.

The achievement of the Sword Intent of the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber!

Now, the surging Sword Intent broke through the barriers within his body, heralding the arrival of the day of Core Formation.

The Spiritual Energy reached its climax, the vital blood reached its climax, and the Divine Soul was more transparent and clear than ever.

Whether it was the licentious luxuries with the Eternal Night Palace, the bloody brutality of mass murder, or the intense pressure from environmental crises, these were all Heart Demons. However, after tenfold reinforcement, thirty years of dedicated practice of Swordsmanship had dissipated all stray thoughts in his mind without a trace!

In the sky dense with dark clouds, a thunderous rumble echoed!

...

Bai Hu was astonished as she looked at the dark clouds from a distance, feeling an unparalleled shock in her heart.

Meng Yu was actually forming his core today?

When Meng Yu logged off yesterday, he told her that he might undertake Core Formation tonight, and might not log in for several days. If the women of the Eternal Night Palace came by, he asked her to receive them and so on.

She was utterly bewildered at the time.

Meng Yu, have you lost your mind?

An all-out war was on the horizon, a battle that would determine life and death, and at this time, you choose to form a core?

And do you realize how fast you're progressing?

Three months ago when she met Meng Yu, he was merely at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment!

And this past month, every day indulging with women, rotating through different women, some Nascent Souls, some Golden Cores, and various stunning beauties. Can you truly control your Heart Demon?

The most nonsensical thing was, right after he had been with them, he might have to kill them all. What kind of hellish maneuver was this?

She adamantly opposed, but she never even saw Meng Yu's face!

...

The clouds in the sky grew thicker, and the thunderclaps echoed like cannon fire, the bright lightning snakes coiling within, awakening everyone within a thousand-mile radius!

This was Tribulation Thunder, and of the most terrifying kind, leaving onlookers dumbstruck.

Was it some scoundrel who had violated the heavenly laws, or was someone about to ascend to Nascent Soul?

Indeed, with this intensity, one might believe it signified Infant Ascension.

Aside from the combatants, idle characters from the Seven Great Sects had gathered at a distance, observing everything that was unfolding.

With the first clap of thunder, the Kuishui Divine Thunder arrived!

Great or small, it could shatter bones and pulverize everything; a mix of both rigid and yielding, blobs of Divine Thunder, big and small, descended from the sky like a liquid substance.

Some onlooker cultivators gaped in awe.

During his Core Formation, Meng Yu had only seven strikes of Kuishui Divine Thunder, and they were separated into seven instances, but now what sin had this Core Formation person committed?

Thirty-six Kuishui Divine Thunderbolts at once!

Was this hailing ice or pouring rain?

The sky suddenly brightened, and then a figure appeared in the air.

A long sword skillfully maneuvered to its peak.

Water Sword Intent, confronting the Kuishui Divine Thunder!

The sword turned into a long river, the sword transformed into waves, and was also sharp as a razor's edge. With a hundred and eight sword strokes, the great river unfolded, breaking through the first heavenly thunder!

...

The second heavenly thunder was fire.

Nine strips of firelight crashed down like meteors.

Great Sun Fierce Yang, Burning Sky Divine Fire, Purple Glaze Smoke, Jade True Green Flame... nine different kinds of flames fell, and even the spectators felt perhaps the Heavenly Tribulation was being too harsh this time?
