Chapter 3294: Heart Demon Pass Is Hard to Get Through

"Seventh Brother! A seventh-tier spirit flame!" Wang Qingxiao pointed at the azure fire phoenix high in the sky and said with a smile.

For other early-stage Integration cultivators, touching a seventh-tier spirit flame would leave them crippled, if not dead.

The two demonic cultivators were not weak, but unfortunately, they encountered Wang Qingshan and Wang Qingxiao.

Wang Qingshan formed a hand seal, and his Azure Lotus Karmic Fire transformed into an azure fire dragon, lunging towards the azure fire phoenix.

He formed a sword seal, and his nine Azure Glaze Swords unleashed countless sharp sword energies, shattering the azure fire phoenix and scattering flames everywhere.

The azure flames quickly gathered, reforming into an azure fire phoenix.

Soon, another large wave of sharp azure sword energies struck, shattering the azure fire phoenix again. After more than a dozen such repetitions, the azure fire phoenix's recovery speed grew increasingly slow.

The azure fire dragon formed by the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire swooped in, gradually devouring the azure fire phoenix.

It would still take some time for the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire to refine the seventh-tier spirit flame, but after devouring this mass of seventh-tier spirit flame, the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire should be able to advance to a seventh-tier spirit flame itself.

"Seventh Brother! The Myriad Flower Basket is yours, and the Soul Annihilation Orb is mine, how about that?" Wang Qingxiao tossed the Myriad Flower Basket to Wang Qingshan and asked.

"You keep the Myriad Flower Basket! Your cultivation isn't high, and with this treasure, you'll have a greater reliance when facing enemies."

Wang Qingshan politely declined.

"No need. I don't rely on treasures to fight. With my physical body, I'd dare to exchange a few blows even with a late-stage Integration cultivator. It's not that easy to kill me."

Wang Qingxiao said indifferently. Wang Qingshan didn't force the issue and accepted the Myriad Flower Basket.

The demonic cultivators had set up a seventh-tier formation, the Blood Erosion Spirit Annihilation Formation, but Wang Qingshan and Wang Qingxiao did not step into it, so the demonic cultivators couldn't use the formation to attack them.

Wang Qingshan put away the formation and the corpse of the Golden-Eyed Thunder-Scaled Beast. They then left the area.......Profound Spirit Continent, Jade Dawn Mountain Range.

Chen Yueying and Xiao Wentian stood atop a mountain peak that soared into the clouds, gazing towards a small valley in the distance, their brows deeply furrowed.

Lin Tianlong was attempting to break through to the Mahayana stage. He had already integrated his Dharma Idol with himself, and was currently undergoing the Demonic Heart Tribulation.

There were hundreds of Integration cultivators across the entire Profound Spirit Continent, but the total number of Mahayana cultivators was less than ten.

Integration cultivators faced four major challenges when attempting to reach the Mahayana stage. The first challenge involved obtaining spiritual elixirs or spiritual items to aid cultivators in breaking through to the Mahayana stage. Rare fruits like the Nine-Bends Exquisite Fruit had extremely long growth cycles, taking over a hundred thousand years to mature. Aside from these, there were also valuable spiritual elixirs, mostly controlled by major powers. Primordial Chaos Qi could also assist cultivators in reaching the Mahayana stage, but it was even rarer.

The second challenge was integrating the Dharma Idol with one's self, a stage that most Integration cultivators could achieve.

The third challenge was the Demonic Heart Tribulation. Cultivators faced a Demonic Heart Tribulation even when attempting to reach the Nascent Soul stage, and failure to pass it meant death and the complete dissipation of their cultivation. Cultivators breaking through to the Mahayana stage also faced a Demonic Heart Tribulation, but it would summon Outer Realm Heavenly Demons. These Outer Realm Heavenly Demons possessed a hundred times the power of ordinary inner demons. Throughout history, many Integration cultivators had failed at this stage.

The fourth challenge was the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation. Most Integration cultivators attempting to reach the Mahayana stage attracted six-colored divine lightning, while a small number attracted seven-colored divine lightning.

When Profound Spirit Heavenly Venerate attempted to reach the Mahayana stage, it was said that he attracted nine bolts of Nine Heavens Divine Lightning. No one knew how he managed to overcome it.

"Senior Sister Chen, how did you pass the Demonic Heart Tribulation back then?"

Xiao Wentian asked curiously, as Chen Yueying was the first Mahayana cultivator in the history of Zhenhai Palace, and he could only seek her guidance.

"I almost became lost in the illusion created by the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon and couldn't break free. It was purely through my firm will that I managed to pass this stage. I had originally intended to exchange the Heavenly Void Jade Tome with the Ye family for elixirs or mystic talismans that could weaken Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, but such items were also very rare even within the Ye family, so they weren't exchanged for me. Lin Junior Brother will have to rely on himself."

Chen Yueying explained, her face filled with worry.

If a cultivator couldn't pass the Demonic Heart Tribulation, they would be slain by an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, which was one reason why Mahayana cultivators were so scarce.

The Xuanqing Sect had a long heritage. Before Xuanqingzi entered the Mahayana stage, three individuals had already failed in their attempts, all succumbing to the Demonic Heart Tribulation.

Items that could weaken Outer Realm Heavenly Demons were exceedingly precious. They were mostly elixirs or mystic talismans, single-use items. Treasures of this nature were even harder to come by.

Chen Yueying took out a yellow magical disc, formed a hand seal, and her expression darkened. "Lin Junior Nephew's soul lamp has extinguished. He was killed by an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon."

Chen Yueying said with a frown.

The Outer Realm Heavenly Demons' power was a hundred times that of inner demons, making it extremely difficult to overcome them relying solely on one's own strength. "Senior Brother Lin is dead!" Xiao Wentian's face sank, filled with sorrow.

Even Lin Tianlong couldn't pass the Demonic Heart Tribulation, showing just how difficult it was. It was indeed not easy for Chen Yueying to have passed it.

Since he couldn't even pass the Demonic Heart Tribulation, he naturally wouldn't attract the Eight-Nine Thunder Tribulation.

Chen Yueying and Xiao Wentian arrived at Lin Tianlong's residence, broke through the restrictions, and found that Lin Tianlong had already lost his breath.

"Seal off the news of Lin Junior Nephew's death. Announce that he has gone out on a journey." Chen Yueying instructed.

Liu Qingfeng had died on the Profound Radiance Continent, and Lin Tianlong had died in the Demonic Heart Tribulation. Zhenhai Palace had successively lost two late-stage Integration cultivators, suffering heavy losses.

Chen Yueying had obtained two Nine-Bends Exquisite Fruits from Profound Spirit Heavenly Venerate's immortal abode. She had used one and kept the other for Lin Tianlong, but unfortunately, Lin Tianlong couldn't pass the Demonic Heart Tribulation.

The number of Integration cultivators in Zhenhai Palace was continuously increasing, all part of the new generation. Among the stronger ones were Zhao Yunxiao, Qin Tianxue, Song Yuchan, Xiao Wentian, and Li Yan.

Xiao Wentian agreed. Lin Tianlong's existence had been a significant deterrent. In past racial wars, if Lin Tianlong participated, very few foreign races could defeat him.

Chen Yueying returned to Floating Cloud Island, while Xiao Wentian was responsible for handling the aftermath.......In a vast, boundless azure sea, a series of deafening explosions echoed.

A massive blue water curtain hung over the sea surface, like an enormous blue bowl inverted over the water. Inside the blue light curtain, a rapid flurry of zither music could be heard.

Through the blue water curtain, Wang Ruyan and two others could be seen dealing with a black human-faced vulture. The human-faced vulture had lost a significant amount of its feathers and looked incredibly disheveled.

From high in the sky, deafening roars erupted, and a blue light and a gray light shone brightly, highly conspicuous.

A completely black human-faced vulture circled erratically high in the sky, its body covered in blood, clearly injured.

A swift, turbulent blue river surged forth, moving at high speed.

The human-faced vulture opened its mouth and spat out a beam of gray light. The blue river shattered, transforming into countless blue water arrows that shot towards the human-faced vulture.

The human-faced vulture flapped its wings fiercely, and a hazy gray hurricane swept out, meeting the attack.

With a thunderous roar, all the blue water arrows dispersed, turning into countless blue mists. The blue mist suddenly condensed, forming Wang Changsheng's appearance.

A blue light shot out from between Wang Changsheng's eyebrows; it was the God Annihilation Blade.

The God Annihilation Blade struck the human-faced vulture, which let out a painful shriek, its body trembling uncontrollably.

Wang Changsheng's right fist erupted with dazzling black light, and he smashed it towards the human-faced vulture's head. With a muffled thud, the human-faced vulture's head shattered into pieces, turning into a bloody mist.
