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

A group of Eternal Night Palace disciples were patrolling within the Minor World. Although they knew that beyond that barrier lay a world where Spiritual Energy was even more abundant, they actually preferred staying in these First and Second Order Minor Worlds on most days.

The Law, it was something that countless people abhorred to the bone, yet countless others adored to the extreme.

The further down one went, the more cultivators recognized the existence of the Law. A large Sect's disciples liked to reside in worlds where the Law existed, at least placing their families within them, for in times of real trouble there existed the possibility of resistance, and the status everyone enjoyed day-to-day was also valuable because of the Law.

Just then, everyone suddenly saw a person tumbling through and breaking the barrier to enter!

...

"Thrilling, so thrilling!"

Meng Yu tumbled and fumbled his way through the barrier of the Minor World but sprang to his feet and swung his fist vigorously.

He had fought his way along the path, encountering more hardships and difficulties than any spectator could imagine.

The Golden Cores set bait, traps, and ambushes one after another, and all sorts of Magical Treasures had been used. It could well be said that if not for the early warnings provided by Mirror Twelve, he'd have died in battle long ago.

Especially toward the end, when he was charging towards this Minor World, the Golden Cores of the Eternal Night Palace went mad, trying to stop him with a frenzy!

"Mirror Big Brother, aren't you afraid to come in with me?"

Mirror Twelve also entered the Second-Order Minor World with him, or, more precisely, a Second-Order Minor Plain.

"Afraid of what?"

Mirror Twelve snorted coldly.

Right, as long as one wasn't afraid of death, even those undergoing Divinity Transformation could enter a world free of demons!

"Alright then, let's fight!"

Meng Yu's voice was filled with passion. His current enemies were a bunch of Foundation Establishment practitioners whose weapons were Second Order, their Arrays were Second Order, and they didn't even have Divine Thunder!

So, what was there to worry about?

It's a well-known fact that the Law imposed the strictest limitations on the body and Spiritual Energy, but it hardly restricted the Divine Soul and Divine Sense. After all, the human brain is too miraculous. So, in this Minor World, Meng Yu was nearly invincible!

Over the next three days, the entire Minor World was like it had been impaled by a thick, hot iron rod from behind!

The first thing Meng Yu did upon charging in was to head straight for the warehouse without any hesitation and showed no mercy to anyone daring enough to stand in his way.

During these past days when Meng Yu fought against the Eternal Night Palace, he killed dozens of Foundation Establishment practitioners and accumulated quite a few Storage Bags at his waist, and in this Minor World, he was not short of means to carry things.

Especially with the numerous Qi Foundation Establishment practitioners coming out to stop him; Meng Yu slew them with a single sword strike, directly taking their Storage Bags and weapons.

The warehouse was quickly occupied by Meng Yu who then pillaged it clean. Afterward, he headed towards the mining veins—the Eternal Night Palace had captured many cultivators to mine here and had amassed quite a lot as well.

If it were an external force, no matter how powerful, they wouldn't be able to break through. The mining area was protected by a large number of cultivators, with continuous reinforcements from outside, and as long as the Golden Core Nascent Soul cultivators defeated the enemy, even the most talented among them would be ground down by the sheer numbers of the Eternal Night Palace!

But today, all the laws were completely rewritten!

Or rather, this is why in the Cultivation World, Golden Cores, and Nascent Souls valued talents so much and didn't just cultivate their own people or, while those young men and women were still weak, turn them into cauldrons or Puppets. Because, geniuses, within the world of the Law, would shine with an incredibly brilliant light!

It's just that Meng Yu's light was far too dazzling!

This was almost a boring game, Meng Yu's combat strength was so formidable it brought despair to other Foundation Establishment practitioners. He even had to carefully control his sword skills, avoiding the use of techniques like "The Four Voids" and "The Triple Sword Unity" lest the Law suppress him or Divine Thunder struck him down. But even with basic sword techniques, slaughtering the disciples of the Eternal Night Palace posed no difficulty at all.

Formations of a dozen people were all killed, and those of a hundred people were broken in one charge. Relying on Arrays to block him, but Mirror Twelve sharply pointed out the flaws in the flow of Spiritual Energy, easily breaking them without effort!

Now, the Eternal Night Palace had dispatched an army of twelve thousand, based on Foundation Establishment practitioners as the backbone and Qi Cultivation Practitioners as soldiers, into the Minor World, with absolute confidence that they could grind Meng Yu to death with the tactic of overwhelming numbers.

...

Ten or so Flying Boats gathered outside the Minor World of the plain, and many people from different Sects were observing quietly and in detail what was happening below.

This time, it was the Eternal Night Palace that had actively opened access and invited other Sects and powers to witness the event!

The army of twelve thousand below had more than one thousand eight hundred Foundation Establishment practitioners. The rest were Qi Cultivation Practitioners, who if placed in the mortal world would be considered Innate Experts, and in a demon-free Minor World, any single one of them could face an entire army!

After the conflict with the Eternal Night Palace, on the surface, it appeared the Palace had only dispatched a few Golden Core cultivators to hunt down Meng Yu, but in reality, considering the terrifying combat power of the three hundred Golden Cores, the Eternal Night Palace had begun to mobilize, including gathering Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation practitioners from various places to form a Cultivator Legion.

The one thing they didn't expect was that, far from luring out the hidden experts behind Meng Yu, he himself had turned into a great white shark, devouring Golden Cores one after another before plunging into the Second-Order Minor World and embarking on a frenzied spree of slaughter and destruction!

This completely unsettled the Eternal Night Palace.

As Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation practitioners inside the plain's Minor World were being killed, causing a scene of utter chaos, the Eternal Night Palace issued the order to engage.

An army of twelve thousand Foundation Establishment soldiers entered the plain's Minor World to kill or capture Meng Yu!

Although everyone knew that once the twelve thousand entered the Second-Order World, they would be unable to use Formations to cast Third Grade spells or attacks, and weapons would mainly be limited to First and Second Grade, no one cared because, when Meng Yu had entered the Second-Order World, he had thrown away his own Third Grade Treasure Sword.

After all, he was truly alone, wielding various Second Grade weapons, and unable to unleash his powerful moves. Were you still worried about not being able to beat him?

In truth, the Eternal Night Palace had originally intended to send only a thousand troops, but the leader of the team, known as the God of War—a general who had fought across First and Second Order Worlds for many years, undefeated—adamantly opposed it.

This commander, hailed as the God of War for his commanding skills, clarified and firmly told the Eternal Night Palace that this would be a death mission!

Not just a thousand people, even sending five thousand would be a death mission!

His intuition also felt extremely unreliable!

When asked for his reasoning, the God of War expressed it was his gut feeling, Meng Yu's behavior was too abnormal. Simply put, the man had chosen the battlefield, and previously, he had been victorious and recklessly bold. Faced with such an opponent, he would rather wait it out calmly!

He told the Golden Cores of the Eternal Night Palace that he firmly disagreed with rushing the twelve thousand Cultivator Legion members into battle. Even if from all angles Meng Yu had no chance of victory, he still disagreed. The true role of the Cultivator Legion was to support Golden Core combat, not to delve into burrows like mice in search of death.

Losing face didn't matter, as long as strength remained, the main force was still intact, and even a hundred defeats were inconsequential!

The Golden Cores pleaded three times, but the God of War steadfastly refused, and then his head was chopped off by a Nascent Soul of the Eternal Night Palace, replaced by another commander to lead the team.

Once the Nascent Soul made up his mind, the people below executed the order without second thoughts. Twelve thousand cultivators entered, beginning their search for Meng Yu.

Yes, even though they had cut off the head of the God of War, the Nascent Souls of the Eternal Night Palace still respected his opinion. It wasn't a thousand, it wasn't five thousand, but an army of twelve thousand cultivators that entered the plain's Minor World.

Because of the damn Meng Yu, the Eternal Night Palace had lost too much face. So this time, even if it meant using a hammer to crack a nut, it was far better than the embarrassment of sending in five thousand and then being defeated by Meng Yu.

The only regret of the Nascent Soul True Monarch was forgetting to ask the God of War, how could twelve thousand lose?

The legion of cultivators surged mightily into the plain's Minor World, while Flying Boats and tour groups in the sky closely monitored the situation below.

Everyone was astounded by the Eternal Night Palace's despicable and shameless actions—to deal with a single Foundation Establishment individual, they deployed twelve thousand cultivators, and dozens of Golden Cores stationed outside the Minor World, with the Nascent Souls personally presiding. This tactic was truly disgraceful.

The boats floated in the sky, and then different Divine Senses, through different Magical Treasures, carried out communication and exchange of intelligence. Many were very interested in Meng Yu, because when the intense confrontation between him and the Eternal Night Palace occurred, they were surprised to discover that this person was genuinely straightforward!

While disciples of Holy Sects and Demon Gate sects boasted various companions, puppets, and subordinates during their travels and attempts at fame, including a plethora of Magical Artifacts bestowed by their sect, Meng Yu claimed to be the son of a Divinity Transformation, but when it came to fighting, he consistently used the regular Third Grade longsword given to him by Sun Bodang, and later did not use talismans or Magical Artifacts as aids, just plainly mowing down his path!

Everyone was very curious, really curious—was Meng Yu's alleged father truly his father, considering how he could bear to see his child so sincere and straightforward?

"With so many people, how could he win?"

"This time, the Eternal Night Palace has deployed over eighteen hundred Foundation Establishment members."

"What happened to the God of War who commanded troops like a deity?"

"Right, Meng Yu should be hiding now, right?"

Everyone was abuzz with discussion. Initially, when they learned that Meng Yu had fled to a Second-Order World, many praised his shamelessness, and many had already speculated on what Meng Yu was planning to do next, what he could do—for instance, continually harassing the Eternal Night Palace around the Second-Order World and escaping into it whenever he encountered powerful enemies, and so on.

But then...

"Wait, wait, he... he actually didn't hide. He went straight into battle!"

The plain's Minor World, spanning a thousand miles, was akin to a large prefecture. The leading officer divided the twelve thousand into twelve squads, each starting their march from different locations.

Scatter the egg yolks, split the earthworms open—it was imperative to kill Meng Yu!

Also, those fleeing miners needed to be exterminated as well!
