44: Chapter 44 Watch closely, this sword strike is going to be really cool!

"Crack!!"

The first bolt of World-Destroying Divine Lightning, carrying the might to destroy the heavens and earth, crashed down!

Su Feng was just preparing to activate the 【Demon God Transformation】 to withstand it head-on.

However.

The next moment, a scene occurred that would be unforgettable for everyone for the rest of their lives.

"Hum—!"

The purple-gold auspicious Qi that had originally permeated the heavens and earth above Azure Cloud City seemed to have been provoked, suddenly transforming into a giant mouth that covered the sky and blocked out the sun!

It was just like a giant whale drinking water.

"Slurp—"

That bolt of World-Destroying Divine Lightning that had just struck down didn't even make a sound before it was swallowed in one gulp by that giant mouth of purple Qi!

Following that, the purple Qi was not yet satisfied; it actually surged into the clouds and, in one gulp, swallowed the ten-layered tribulation cloud in the sky that was still brewing a major move!

It was just like eating a ball of cotton candy.

*Hiccup~*

Between heaven and earth, a sound like a satisfied burp seemed to echo.

Afterward, the clouds parted and the fog dispersed, and the sunlight shone down.

What Lightning Tribulation? What heavenly might?

In the face of that auspicious Qi from the newborn baby, they had all turned into supplements!

Silence. A deathly silence.

Yang Tian opened his mouth wide, his jaw nearly dislocating.

The remnant soul of Nine Nether Pill Venerable was stunned in mid-air, muttering to himself: "Ate... it ate it? Can Lightning Tribulation even be undergone like this?"

Su Feng himself was also stunned; he looked down at his own hands, then looked toward the delivery room, his expression strange.

"Is this... is this what is called 'rising in status due to one's child'?"

Fortunately, I am a cheater.

The most miserable one was Jian Nanxin.

His clothes were tattered all over, and he stood in the wind leaning on his sword like a beggar.

He blankly stared at the calm and indifferent scene before him, and recalled the six bolts of Lightning Tribulation he had risked his life and barely survived just moments ago...

A huge sense of absurdity welled up in his heart.

"Just... like that, he broke through?"

Jian Nanxin's eyes lost focus, and he fell into deep confusion and self-doubt: "I had to risk my life to undergo the tribulation... he just had a child and ate the Lightning Tribulation?"

"Then what about the lightning I just endured?"

"And what about the Dao of the sword I pursue?"

"Pfft—!"

Jian Nanxin's Dao Heart was damaged; he spat out a mouthful of blood three feet high and fell backward.

On this day.

The Southern Region's number one Sword Cultivator was not defeated by an opponent, but was defeated by... someone else's child.

Su Feng did not know how much critical damage his casual Breakthrough had caused to Jian Nanxin; his attention had already shifted to the group of enemies eyeing them covetously in the sky.

"Su Feng!"

It was finally Yang Tian's turn to speak. He composed his expression, attempting to regain the air of a Grand Elder of the Blazing Moon Sect: "I admit that your talent is indeed outstanding, but after all, you are just a junior who has just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, and your Foundation is not yet stable."

"Considering that your cultivation has not been easy, if you hand over the Deity Transformation Inheritance now, we can let bygones be bygones..."

Although Su Feng's potential was terrifying, a newcomer who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage did not yet have the qualifications to negotiate with this group of veteran powerhouses.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Yang Tian thought he could control the entire situation, a crisp and pleasant voice, yet carrying an unquestionable tone, suddenly interrupted him.

It was none other than Shen Luoyu.

She stood on the Yin and Yang Taiji diagram, her eyes beneath her veil cold and clear as water, yet revealing an unquestionable dominance: "My Yin Yang Sect does not need that so-called Deity Transformation Inheritance; I have only one purpose for coming here this time."

"And that is you!"

Shen Luoyu extended a slender finger, pointing at Su Feng from afar, her tone just like someone selecting a long-coveted piece of merchandise.

Whether it was Su Feng's potential or his Pure Yang Sacred Body, both were things their Yin Yang Sect was determined to obtain.

Yang Tian's face turned green.

It was one thing for Jian Nanxin of the Heavenly Sword Sect, who had practiced the sword until his brain broke, to interrupt his posturing, but how did the Yin Yang Sect also jump out?!

Did they not have any respect for him, the leader of the Alliance?!

After being angry, Yang Tian got angry again, but in the end, he remained silent.

The Yin Yang Sect was stronger than the Heavenly Sword Sect and was mysterious and unpredictable; his Blazing Moon Sect truly could not afford to provoke them.

Su Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and pointed at himself: "Me?"

"Yes!" Shen Luoyu gave an affirmative answer, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance: "As long as you return to the Yin Yang Sect with me and become my Dao Companion, I guarantee in the name of the Saintess of the Yin Yang Sect that I can ensure your Su Family remains safe and sound!"

"And what if I don't go?" Su Feng became interested.

Shen Luoyu frowned slightly, seemingly not having expected Su Feng to refuse such a good opportunity to reach the sky in one step: "You may not know the strength of my Yin Yang Sect."

"I really don't know." Su Feng nodded very straightforwardly.

To put it plainly, their Su Family had only just started less than a year ago, and they did not know much about the many secret intelligence reports of the Southern Region; most importantly, Su Feng was not in a hurry to know either.

"My Yin Yang Sect can rival half of the Southern Region!" Shen Luoyu's tone was filled with confidence.

Su Feng looked suspiciously toward the Great Qin Ancestor, Ying Zheng, only to see that iron-blooded emperor nod with a solemn expression, clearly defaulting to this statement.

"That strong?" Su Feng was somewhat surprised.

He had thought the Five Nations and Three Sects were about the same; now it seemed that among them, the Five Nations were the weakest, followed by the Blazing Moon Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the strongest was this Yin Yang Sect.

"How about it?"

Seeing Su Feng waver, Shen Luoyu struck while the iron was hot: "As long as you are willing to come back with me, based on your talent and Physique, in the future, you will definitely be able to break through the limits of the Southern Region together with me and aim directly for Soul Transformation!"

Su Feng looked at Shen Luoyu's veiled face and suddenly smiled.

"What are you smiling at?" Shen Luoyu was puzzled.

"Oh... excuse me, I thought of something happy."

"Something happy? What happy thing?"

Su Feng blurted out subconsciously: "My wife is giving birth."

"..."

Everyone just felt speechless, but also felt that the fact was indeed so.

His wife had indeed just finished giving birth, so it seemed there was nothing wrong with being happy.

"Su Feng!"

Shen Luoyu felt she was being toyed with; her tone was implicitly unkind, and the threat was self-evident: "You wouldn't want your child to... lose their father just after being born, would you?"

"Oh? Are you threatening me?"

Su Feng showed no fear, and even stretched.

Shen Luoyu stared at Su Feng for a full ten seconds, then suddenly laughed, the laughter cold and clear: "Fine. Let's see how you survive this tribulation today."

After speaking, she quietly retreated to the side, with the posture of watching a show.

If she couldn't have him, she would destroy him, or wait until he was beaten crippled and then take him back; for her, the result was the same.

The opportunity had arrived!

Yang Tian finally waited for the opportunity and immediately released the pressure of the Nascent Soul Great Perfection; three golden wheels slowly rotated behind him like three scorching suns, baking the sky above the Su Family until it was twisted and deformed.

"Su Feng!... Why don't you obediently hand over the Deity Transformation Inheritance..."

As a result, Su Feng completely ignored him, not even glancing at him; instead, he turned and walked toward Jian Nanxin, who was still doubting his life.

"Hey, lend me your sword for a moment."

Jian Nanxin, who was lying there like a corpse, suddenly sat up in surprise, looking completely confused: "What for?"

"Just use it for a bit, don't be so stingy."

After saying this, Su Feng didn't care whether Jian Nanxin agreed or not, and reached out to grab it.

"Hum!!"

The ancient sword named Qingming instantly let out a violent, struggling cry.

It already possessed a sword spirit; sensing that it was not its master, it resisted frantically, with Sword Qi overflowing, wanting to cut Su Feng's hand.

However.

Su Feng just gently flicked a sword flower.

"Quiet."

Following the utterance of this word, a terrifying aura that made the heavens and earth change color suddenly erupted from Su Feng's body.

That was not Spiritual Power pressure, that was—Sword Intent!

A peerless Sword Intent, deeper and a hundred times more domineering than Jian Nanxin's Sword Heart Clarity, instantly enveloped the ancient sword!

In the face of that Sword Intent, the originally unruly ancient sword instantly became as quiet as a chick, and even let out a fawning, light chime, as docile as a puppy.

"This... what Sword Intent is this?!"

Jian Nanxin's eyes widened, and he even forgot to breathe.

Su Feng held the long sword without drawing it from its scabbard, but as he stood there, his entire person was like a divine sword about to pierce the firmament.

He slowly turned around and looked at Yang Tian in mid-air, who had been ignored three times and was about to explode with anger, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.

"Watch closely."

"This sword strike will be very cool!"
