One more catty, one more attribute point

This earth-shattering punch, before even striking, had already overwhelmingly filled the entire field of vision of Tong Shan Great Saint.

The latter only felt gusts of fierce wind rolling down from the sky, slapping against his face.

The courage he had just barely mustered up.

In an instant.

All turned to ash, blown beyond the nine heavens.

Tong Shan Great Saint gritted his teeth, but in the end, the strong desire to survive overcame his longing for dignity.

He tapped the ground with his feet, and his figure flashed. He ran backwards at a speed close to his limit, and then watched from afar as the meteor-like punch heavily smashed into the vast earth.

Bang!

First, the ground violently trembled.

All fragments of rocks and dust were suspended in mid-air.

Then, a terrifying explosion came from afar, and the earth's crust was directly pierced by an astonishing force.

Large chunks of rock slabs pressed against each other, broke, and bulged outwards, forming several uneven, rugged rock ridges.

A bundle of scorching white halos rapidly spread out from the center of the explosion, like a tide swallowing the sand on the shore, those newly formed rock ridges were crumbled into pieces in the complex explosions. Countless ashes mixed with fierce power spread rapidly in all directions, finally presenting a massive dust storm that obscured the sun!

By this time, the aftershock of the explosion.

For Tong Shan Great Saint, it was already somewhat bearable.

He stood still, arms hanging down, letting those fine grains hit his body, making a tinkling sound.

The expression on Tong Shan Great Saint's face became extraordinary, with disbelief and astonishment, as well as a sense of relief after letting go. Having roamed Central State with the body of a demon for so long, Tong Shan Great Saint had encountered countless powerful beings.

But now...

Only Emperor Wu of Great Zhou.

And some terrifying existences above the Demon Gods.

Below White Tower Temple was originally a vast plain, but as the sky-darkening dust storm gradually dissipated, the environment here had undergone tremendous changes.

The entire earth's crust was directly pierced by Su Heng's punch, a large amount of soil sank down, the land crumbled inch by inch.

In the end, it looked like a deeply sunken basin.

Inside, massive cracks crisscrossed like spiderwebs.

In some cracks, even faintly red magma could be seen.

Clusters of grey-black smoke also rose, merging with the billowing smoke in mid-air into a massive curtain.

And under this vast, thundering curtain, Su Heng's more than 100 meters tall figure stepped forward. With each step forward, the ground trembled violently like a heart, and at the same time, Su Heng's body also shrank slightly.

Until Su Heng reached in front of Tong Shan Great Saint, his body had returned to the initial size of over three meters tall.

The indescribable oppressive aura on Su Heng also faded away.

He calmly said, "Is it okay now?"

"It's okay!" Tong Shan Great Saint took a deep breath and answered obediently, "Subordinate Tong Shan, greets the superior."

"Good." Enjoy new tales from My Virtual Library Empire

Su Heng grinned, stretching out his hand to pat Tong Shan Great Saint on the shoulder.

At this moment, Su Heng's gaze shifted toward the distance, seeing Nangong Yue and others under a desolate hill.

When the battle began, these people were by the rock walls. But soon, they realized that even at such a far distance, they would still be swept up by the aftershocks of the battle.

When they realized this, they began to flee in disarray. Yet they were a step too slow and were engulfed by the sandstorm. At this time, they looked dirty and shabby, their clothes torn with some even bearing blood stains, looking quite miserable.

When Su Heng's gaze fell on them.

These Demon Elders were startled, shivering, and a few even jumped into the air and huddled together.

This appearance...

Was like Su Heng would eat them if displeased.

Su Heng shook his head, not spending too much thought on these people, as they were just unexpected gains.

Judging by the conduct of those from the Demon Path, Su Heng figured they would mostly target Baihua County next.

But with King Qingyang stationed there, Su Heng was not worried at all.

Now that he had this excuse.

Once the matters here at White Tower Temple were dealt with, it was inevitable to make a trip to Linjiang.

Heart Demon Sect, Yellow Wind Sect... even when considering the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, they were quite renowned Immortal Sects, with many disciples and elders. Su Heng's second generation "Original Dragon Guards" were almost entering the experimental mass production stage, and to smoothly transition through this process, a large amount of materials was needed for experiments.

These people were quite suitable as consumables.

Privately marking two big crosses on the two Immortal Sects, Su Heng turned around, his figure flashed, and in a blink, he appeared next to Ming Daoist.

With Su Heng crushing the remaining nine lightning figures in one grasp, the clouds of heavenly tribulation scattered.

The triple heavenly tribulation officially ended.

The entire process was much smoother than Ming Daoist had anticipated.

She had initially prepared herself for a tough ordeal, but after undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation, not only was her original form barely damaged, she was able to use the essence of the tribulation to re-condense her uncontrollable spiritual power.

If one must describe it, it's like transforming from a flabby overweight man into a muscular man tanned bronze all over. Although there was no weight difference, combat power had obviously increased a lot.

Ming Daoist said, "This time, I owe much to fellow Daoist's help, otherwise, I wouldn't have achieved this."

"It's nothing." Su Heng laughed heartily, "I promised to assist you after all, and I also gained some insights during the Heavenly Tribulation."

Rustle rustle!

The branches on Ming Daoist's body shook.

Accompanied by rustling sounds and blocking out the sky, the over three hundred meters tall Undead Tree began to shrink.

The swollen tree roots, like earth pythons, swiftly withdrew back into the soil, followed by a burst of dust swirling around, and the Undead Tree once again disguised itself as an unremarkable green leaf Bodhi. As a faint Daoist charm cascaded outward, seven fist-sized, baby-like green fruits hung suspended in front of Su Heng.

"This is..."

"These are Undying Fruits." Ming Daoist, dressed in white as if clad in snow, appeared beside Su Heng and explained, "After refining and absorption, they can greatly enhance spiritual power, which is also what we initially agreed upon."

"Then I will not be polite." Su Heng's spiritual cultivation indeed had some shortcomings.

He waved a large hand.

Following a flash of red light, these pale green fruits were all collected.

Su Heng knew Ming Daoist had just completed a breakthrough and needed some time to consolidate her cultivation and reflect on her future cultivation path.

He did not plan to stay any longer.

He prepared to say goodbye and leave.

At that moment, Ming Daoist contemplated and said, "Heart Demon Sect's spiritual cultivation methods are unique. At the very least, in my era, it was already well-known; you could try to learn from it. Paired with the spiritual power provided by the Undying Fruit, it should yield unexpected results."

"Great!" Su Heng nodded, "I will try it after I return."

He was indeed planning to visit the Heart Demon Sect.

"Recently, the number of demons on Skull Plain has been increasing; you should prepare beforehand," Ming Daoist added.

Su Heng nodded, clasping his hands together.

His body transformed into a streak of black light, turning to leave. Tong Shan Great Saint, Nangong Yue, and others exchanged glances and closely followed, heading in the direction Su Heng had disappeared to. Ming Daoist watched under the Snow Mountain until Su Heng's figure completely vanished and only the desolate wilderness remained before her eyes.

Then, Ming Daoist's body dispersed with the wind, returning to the Undead Tree to continue her next phase of cultivation.

...

...

...

"King Qingyang, how come you are here!?"

The Fifth Elder of the Heart Demon Sect, named Zong Wenlang, was a skinny middle-aged man.

That day in the Heart Demon Sect, during the Elders' meeting, he was assigned the task to capture some important individuals in Baihua County to prevent future troubles.

He thought he had good luck, having drawn a relatively easy task.

However...

As soon as he arrived in Baihua County, he spotted the elongated, dashing figure atop the Demon Suppression Tower.

Zong Wenlang was truly startled.

As an elder of the Immortal Sect, his strength was not weak.

But in front of an Emperor, that was simply not enough, and even among the Imperial Heavenly Kings, King Qingyang was particularly strong.

"Run!"

Without thinking, Zong Wenlang turned to leave.

But the Third Elder, Mo Gang, seriously said, "He has already spotted us, it's too late to run now. If we attack together, we may have a chance of survival!"

With that said...

Without waiting for Zong Wenlang to decide.

The Third Elder, Mo Gang, already shook his arms violently, his body suddenly inflated, and he charged towards King Qingyang with iron fists swinging.

King Qingyang slightly brushed his meticulously groomed long beard, his face wearing a faint smile. He had been waiting here for a long time, and finally saw two culprits emerge.

Seeing Mo Gang and Zong Wenlang, King Qingyang even felt a slight sense of relief. He owed Su Heng quite a few favors; if he didn't do anything and just came here for nothing, King Qingyang would feel somewhat remiss.

Great!

These two had just delivered themselves perfectly.

"Whether you fight or flee, the end result is the same," King Qingyang said, "But I still prefer your direct approach—it at least saves time."

Bang!

King Qingyang leapt up.

Compared to Mo Gang's grandiose attack, his body was like a fluff of dandelion.

Seemingly light and effortless, a palm strike landed on Mo Gang. The latter, as if struck by lightning, contorted his face, his muscles involuntarily twitched, and two streams of blood flowed from his nostrils like little snakes.

His eyes rolled up as he fell from the midair, crashing heavily to the ground, thus passing out and losing consciousness.
