73: Late stage of cultivation, demonic tribulation descends?

Su Yu's return to the Xuanxiao Sect was with Han Mo's consent.

After all, when Han Mo heard the news, he personally visited Demon Slaying Valley and only agreed to let him leave after confirming that there were no problems with his external incarnation suppressing it.

At that time, Han Mo looked at his external incarnation with a somewhat sour tone.

He had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that this external incarnation was very different from the external incarnation technique Su Yu had traded with them back then.

Both in terms of strength and spirituality, it was much stronger.

Over the years, Han Mo had also refined an external incarnation using the technique he obtained back then.

By now, it had also been nurtured to the Nascent Soul Stage, possessing seventy percent of his own strength, which was already not weak.

Naturally, he wouldn't say anything to Su Yu.

After all, the world of cultivation is treacherous, and everyone is a deep-scheming Nascent Soul Old Monster; if one didn't keep a trump card hidden, they would have likely perished long ago, so how could they have cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm?

"Speaking of which, it's time to increase my Realm."

When Han Mo came to Demon Slaying Valley, he settled the Spirit Stones for the past ten years for him.

Over these ten years, he wasn't just occupied with trivial matters like guarding the Demon Eye and improving the strength of his external incarnation.

He had also been cultivating on his own. After his Cultivation Technique reached Perfection, he had no Bottlenecks at all. After ten years of taking Medicinal Pills purchased from the System Mall, his Realm had long since reached the Mid-stage Nascent Soul Peak.

He was only a thin line away from the Late Nascent Soul Stage.

The consumption was only a few million Spirit Stones, far lower than the fifty million Spirit Stones needed to purchase the Realm.

Su Yu activated all the Immortal Cave Restrictions, then took out a Nascent Spirit Pill purchased from the mall and swallowed it, beginning his breakthrough to the Late Stage.

The mana of the Nascent Soul was like a vast ocean, and at this moment, waves surged within Su Yu's Dantian.

The Nascent Soul figure closed its eyes and concentrated in the Dantian, and the aura on its body began to become ethereal.

As the Nascent Soul figure began to grow larger, Su Yu's aura also climbed.

The Nascent Soul of the Early Stage Nascent Soul is three inches in size, the Mid-stage is six inches, and the Late Stage is nine inches.

In this regard, regardless of how deep the cultivation is, the Nascent Soul is always the same size; however, the degree of condensation of the Nascent Soul differs.

Su Yu's Nascent Soul, however, had already condensed to an almost physical degree, and its Nascent Power was more than twice that of Cultivators of the same rank!

As the Nascent Soul within his body continuously surged with Nascent Power, Su Yu also circulated his Dantian mana to charge at the Bottleneck.

His Cultivation Technique had long since reached Perfection, so this Late Stage Bottleneck couldn't stop him at all.

The Late Stage Bottleneck was like a boiling teapot, where the water inside boils and surges, pushing open the lid.

Half a year later, with a long whistle from Su Yu, the mana in his body rose continuously like a high mountain, and the aura on his body suddenly increased several times over!

Clearly, he had stepped into the Late Nascent Soul Stage! A true Great Cultivator.

The Nascent Soul figure had also grown to nine inches!

"With my current strength, I should be able to protect myself even against a Spirit Transformation Cultivator, right?"

When he was at the Mid-stage Nascent Soul, he was comparable to the Nascent Soul Peak; now that he was at the Late Nascent Soul Stage, he likely had some ability to protect himself even against a Spirit Transformation Cultivator.

If he were determined to flee, even a Spirit Transformation Cultivator might not be able to keep him!

In the Human Realm today, how could Spirit Transformation Cultivators be encountered so easily? Moreover, the Spiritual Qi in the Human Realm is so thin that Spirit Transformation Cultivators cannot easily use their mana.

Otherwise, the Essence consumed would take several years or even over a decade to replenish.

Unless it involved the face of a Spirit Transformation Cultivator, how would those old monsters easily act against a Nascent Soul Junior?

"One step closer to the Great Dao of Immortal Ascension!"

Su Yu whispered softly to himself... Year 9352 of the Xuanting Calendar, the 15th of the Chen Month.

A giant mars star, filled with towering flames, flew in from beyond the heavens and crashed into the Outer Sea.

The massive impact caused terrifying waves hundreds of zhang high, submerging several surrounding islands.

Tiankui Island, one of the ten major islands of the Outer Sea, was vast in area, like a small continent.

But on this day, Tiankui Island was destroyed.

Except for Cultivators above Core Formation, the tens of billions of living beings on Tiankui Island all perished in this disaster.

Not to mention several nearby medium-sized islands!

On some small islands, not a single person survived.

Such an earth-shattering disaster shocked the entire Outer Sea!

And the news also spread to Tiannan.

Months later, a dozen Nascent Soul Cultivators joined forces to investigate the cause of the mars star's fall.

But when they arrived at the site, they witnessed an unbelievable scene.

And they encountered a terrifying crisis.

None of the dozen or so Nascent Soul Cultivators survived; all died near the mars star!

Once this news spread, countless Cultivators were shocked; not only the Outer Sea and Tiannan, but even the Great Jin, the Holy Land of cultivation, knew about it!

Thus, the Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivators of the Outer Sea formed a team mainly composed of Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.

They continued to explore towards the location of the mars star.

But what followed was a massive disaster.

Months later, this team led by a Great Cultivator and composed of nine Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators actually went missing.

Countless friends and family members could not contact them.

Even the Soul Lamps they left behind flickered, as if they would be extinguished in the next instant.

One must know that Soul Lamps are linked to a person's life.

If a Cultivator perishes, the Soul Lamp naturally goes out; it is a type of Magical Artifact used to confirm a Cultivator's life or death.

The flickering Soul Lamps meant the situation for that group of Nascent Soul Cultivators was not optimistic.

To this end, the Cultivators of the Outer Sea pleaded with a Spirit Transformation Ancestor, requesting him to take action and clarify the situation.

That Spirit Transformation Ancestor was the only Spirit Transformation Cultivator in the Outer Sea and had been in secluded cultivation for hundreds of years.

Being woken up now, he was naturally furious, but when he heard that a mars star had fallen from the heavens, Tiankui Island had been swallowed by giant waves, and two teams of Nascent Soul Cultivators—one perished and the other encountered a life-or-death crisis—he changed his mind.

Especially since there was one of his Juniors among the second team of Nascent Soul Cultivators, this Spirit Transformation Old Monster decided to take action.

As the Spirit Transformation Old Monster set out, the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Outer Sea went in groups to cheer him on.

But what they didn't expect was that after the Spirit Transformation Ancestor arrived at the location of the mars star, a world-shaking battle suddenly broke out.

The battle lasted for ten days, tearing the sky apart.

Even from thousands of miles away, one could see the scene of the Spirit Transformation Ancestor fighting someone.

The entire sea area was turbulent, with waves dozens of zhang high.

The terrifying pressure made all the Nascent Soul Cultivators tremble with fear.

In the end, that Spirit Transformation Ancestor was no match for the one at the mars star; half his body was torn away, and he fled in a pathetic state.

After he returned to his Immortal Cave, he hurriedly sealed the mountain, and all Formations and Restrictions were activated.

And he left behind a single sentence.

"The Demon Tribulation has returned to the Human Realm!"

This one sentence caused a massive uproar throughout the Human Realm.

The Demon Tribulation was a terrifying disaster that almost destroyed the Human Realm in ancient times.

In ancient times, who knows how many mighty Cultivators had to rely on the power of the Spirit Realm to repel the Demon Tribulation.

But the current Human Realm absolutely lacks the power to deal with the Demon Tribulation.

For a time, everyone was in a state of panic!
