231: Chapter 231 I only came here to find an opportunity, why do I have to see corpses all over the place!

Meanwhile, deep within the Ancient God Ruins, there was a hidden valley shrouded in blood-colored mist.

Yin Tianzheng was sitting cross-legged in the center of an altar constructed from hundreds of bone pillars, his hands constantly forming seals, driving streaks of blood-colored runes into the ground.

Deep underground, a massive blood sacrifice array, capable of overturning the entire Divine Ruins, was slowly taking shape.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through layers of blood mist as he looked toward the seven-colored light on the distant horizon.

"Seven-colored Lightning Tribulation clouds?!" Yin Tianzheng's brows furrowed tightly, a strong sense of unease welling up in his heart.

"Could it be that the remnant soul of an ancient expert has awakened within the Divine Ruins?" If a remnant soul of an ancient expert had truly awakened, it would be a huge threat to the blood sacrifice array they were setting up.

Just as he was deep in thought, a sharp intake of breath came from behind him.

"Ah..."

Goddess Ye Qingqiu stood at the edge of the altar, her nostrils flaring slightly as if she had caught the scent of something she could not resist. A flush appeared on her fair cheeks.

"It's not a remnant soul..." She panted, her voice husky and excited.

"It's that scent!"

"So fragrant... such rich Chaos Qi..."

"Old Yin! It's that man named Cao Kun! He is actually Undergoing Tribulation!"

"I can smell it from so far away... I want to... I want to go over there right now..."

Upon hearing this, killing intent filled Yin Tianzheng's eyes. A mere Late Soul Transformation Stage cultivator breaking through to the Void Refining stage was actually able to summon a seven-colored Lightning Tribulation.

The Chaos Qi within this boy was extremely dense, and having cultivated some unknown Heaven-Defying Cultivation Technique, his talent could be called a Prodigy. If left to grow, he would surely become a major threat to the Lingxiao Divine Kingdom in the future.

He must be killed while he was at his weakest during the Undergoing Tribulation! After making his decision, Yin Tianzheng waved his sleeves casually.

"Roar!" Dozens of ferocious evil spirits flew out from his body. Each one possessed an aura no less than the Peak of the Void Refining stage.

"Immediately head to the location of the Lightning Tribulation clouds."

"If it really is that Cao Kun Undergoing Tribulation, don't waste time talking. Kill him directly while he is at his weakest from being struck by the heavenly lightning."

"Drain the Chaos Qi from his body and bring it back."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Goddess Ye Qingqiu hurriedly stepped forward, tugging at Yin Tianzheng's sleeve, and pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Old Yin!"

She earnestly instructed the group of ferocious evil spirits.

"Remember! You ugly monsters, go easy! Don't destroy his Physical Body!"

"Bring that perfect Physical Body of his back to me."

When Goddess Ye Qingqiu said this, she cupped her cheeks in her hands, lost in some unspeakable fantasy.

"I want to keep it as a body pillow to hug every night while I sleep~"

The corner of Yin Tianzheng's mouth twitched. Sometimes he really wondered how His Majesty the Divine Emperor had raised this Divine Maiden to be like this. However, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Goddess Ye Qingqiu's madness and waved his hand at the evil spirits.

"Go."

The dozens of evil spirits let out a low roar, tearing through space and speeding toward Blood Crystal Valley.

...

Blood Crystal Valley.

The seven-colored Lightning Tribulation clouds surged, and the first bolt of heavenly lightning had already fallen.

"Boom!" A seven-colored lightning pillar as thick as a thousand-year-old tree, carrying the world-destroying power of Laws, fell straight down.

"Chis chis chis—" Lightning surged into his body, making Cao Kun wince in pain.

But at the same time, after the power of the lightning rampaged through his body, it was gradually swallowed and converted by the Chaos Qi, becoming nutrients to temper his Physical Body and Meridians.

"Good grief... Undergoing Tribulation is like soaking in a hot spring." Cao Kun was secretly delighted. The Myriad Laws Return to Silence Dao Wheel hung above his head, automatically absorbing the excess lightning power to prevent irreversible damage to his Physical Body.

Just as he was focused on dealing with the first wave of Lightning Tribulation, his Divine Sense suddenly captured unusual movements. From all directions, countless powerful auras were approaching Blood Crystal Valley at full speed. And there were quite a few of them. There were at least a hundred. And each was more eager than the last, wishing they could grow wings and fly over.

Cao Kun raised an eyebrow.

"Good grief!"

"I haven't even gone to find them, yet they've come in a group to deliver warmth?"

"Could it be that they knew this Master was about to have a Breakthrough and came specially to offer gifts?"

However, he couldn't worry about that now. The second seven-colored divine lightning was brewing in the clouds, and lightning power even more terrifying than the first was gathering. Cao Kun pushed the Qingmu Immortal Ribbon and the Myriad Laws Return to Silence Dao Wheel to their limits, focusing all his attention on the upcoming second wave of Lightning Tribulation.

...

On the outskirts of Blood Crystal Valley.

Six Disciples from the Myriad Sword Sect arrived first. The leading young male cultivator was named Ye Qingyun, a Late Stage Void Refining expert, with three top-grade Spirit Treasure Flying Swords hanging at his waist. He was exactly the person highlighted and starred in Cao Kun's "Fat Sheep" registration manual.

At this moment, his face was full of excitement. As soon as he landed, he couldn't wait to look into the valley.

"Quick! The seven-colored Lightning Tribulation clouds are right ahead! This kind of natural phenomenon is definitely the emergence of a complete Legacy from an ancient expert!"

Almost at the same time, Prodigies from the Taixuan Dao Sect and the Immortal Family also poured into the area of Blood Crystal Valley from all directions. Everyone was blinded by that seven-colored light. Their minds were filled with thoughts of "Peerless Opportunity," "Ancient Legacy," and "Ascending to the Heavens in a Single Step."

However, when they actually stepped into Blood Crystal Valley and saw the scene inside, everyone was stunned. There was no remnant soul of an ancient expert. There was no peerless treasure emerging. In the center of the valley floor, there was only a young man wearing black and white Taoist robes sitting cross-legged beneath the seven-colored Lightning Tribulation.

And around him... yes, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Dozens of mutilated corpses were scattered throughout the valley floor. Severed arms, severed legs, headless corpses... Judging by the surviving clothing and scattered tokens on those corpses, they were all Core Disciples of the Taichu Holy Land.

"These... these corpses..."

"Are they people from the Taichu Holy Land?!"

"Wait... Late Soul Transformation Stage... black and white Taoist robes..."

In the crowd, a female cultivator from the Tianji Pavilion suddenly exclaimed.

"Could, could this be..."

"Cao Kun?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Prodigies woke up as if from a dream. The roars of their own Old Ancestors and Sect Masters, given through Transmission Stones not long ago with repeated warnings, instantly rang in their minds.

"When you see Cao Kun of the Great Yan Dynasty, regardless of who is right or wrong, immediately take a detour and run! You must absolutely not provoke him!"

"Whoever dares to provoke him, I will personally expel them from the Sect!"

This seven-colored Lightning Tribulation cloud was not the emergence of some ancient Legacy. It was this god of slaughter having a Breakthrough! Now, great. They didn't find an Opportunity, but they did find the King of Hell.

"Run! Run quickly!!" The Tianji Pavilion female cultivator also screamed and turned around.

The other Prodigies were even more scared, their souls flying away and spirits scattering, frantically taking out flying Magic Treasures, only wanting to get as far away as possible from this living King of Hell with the seven-colored Lightning Tribulation clouds above his head.

However, just as the Prodigies turned to flee, a cold wind suddenly howled in the sky.

"Awoo—!" Dozens of pitch-black mists descended from the sky, carrying monstrous Devilish Qi, directly sealing off all the exits of Blood Crystal Valley. Evil spirits. The dozens of evil spirits sent by Yin Tianzheng had arrived at this most critical moment.

"What is this?!" Ye Qingyun had just rushed to the valley entrance when his path was blocked by an evil spirit.
