299: The drawbacks of the divine cultivation method, defeating Zhongli Lun

The amount of energy you absorb from the universe, he will also absorb from your body.

"So, this is where you were waiting for me."

You snorted coldly, immediately understanding the anomaly within your Inner World.

Although this situation was sudden, you had already prepared for it.

You immediately refined various Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines you had prepared in advance to compensate for the depletion caused by your Inner World.

However…

Things were far from as simple as you imagined.

The Inner World seemed to possess sentience; no matter how many Medicinal Pills you refined, he would extract an equal amount of energy from your body.

No matter what you did, you couldn't Breakthrough to the God Realm.

"Stop your futile struggles."

"To enjoy the convenience of the Divine Cultivation Method, you must bear this Karma."

"Submit to Me as Master obediently, and you might get a quick death."

"Otherwise… you will only suffer more! Even if you truly advance towards the God Realm, this Lord will strike you down!"

Cold words reached your ears.

When you looked up, you saw Zhongli Cui standing not far from you.

His face revealed a smile.

As if everything was under his control.

However…

Zhongli Cui was, after all, not his brother Zhongli Qiu.

With his Cultivation only at the Half-God stage, you no longer paid him any mind.

With a thought, you appeared beside him, then reached out a hand, heading straight for his head!

"How dare you!"

Zhongli Cui roared, instantly mobilizing the power of the entire Divine Court to suppress you!

The immense commotion made your pupils contract slightly; you looked at Zhongli Cui in disbelief.

He was actually the will of the Divine Court!

To be his enemy was to be an enemy of the entire Southern Land occupied by the Divine Court!

"What exactly is going on?!"

The sudden scene left you somewhat dazed.

But before you could think further, the terrifying power of the universe had already arrived before you.

You responded in haste.

Although you were unharmed, you found it difficult to defeat your opponent.

The power of the universe in the Southern Land was too strong.

Even with your three trump cards—"Submit to Me as Master," "A Thought Creates a World," and "Rebirth and Return of Life"—you were temporarily unable to do anything to your opponent.

And at this moment, the suction from your Inner World grew stronger and stronger.

Your Qi no longer maintained balance but entered a state of negative growth.

If this continued, it wouldn't be long before your Breakthrough would end in failure.

At that time… you would face the destruction of your body and Dao!

Although you were currently only triggering "Rebirth and Return of Life," you didn't want to waste this precious opportunity so inexplicably.

Thinking of this, you attacked again.

Relying on the traversing ability granted by Celestial Travel, you constantly entangled with the power of the universe, seeking an opportunity to kill Zhongli Cui.

But who would have thought?

Under Zhongli Cui's command, the other Cultivators of the Divine Court also surrounded you.

Their Cultivation was not high, but they still bought Zhongli Cui a lot of time.

You were quickly struck by the power of the universe from the Southern Land, flying backward!

"Seeking death!"

A cold glint flashed in your eyes.

Originally, you had planned to kill Zhongli Cui first, then slowly soul-search these people.

But now, it seemed, there was no longer any need for that.

"Whoosh!!!"

With a thought, sharp sword auras shot out from your fingertips.

They were like streaks of lightning, instantly piercing through all the Cultivators of the Divine Court!

One strike, one kill!

This sudden scene made the faces of the remaining people drastically change.

They retreated repeatedly, not daring to advance even with Zhongli Cui's repeated commands!

"Damn it!"

"When my elder brother returns, I will make sure you deserters wish you were dead but cannot die."

Zhongli Cui roared.

But he was now helpless; all he could rely on… was himself!

"Crack, crack, crack!"

In an instant, the entire universe suddenly began to tremble.

Above the sky, a large crack even appeared.

All the energy of the entire Southern Land poured into it, causing the entire sky to darken.

And in the next moment.

"Boom!!!"

A huge roar echoed through the universe, and a ball of light composed of various energies, like a meteor from outside the heavens, fiercely struck towards you.

The Void Realm in its path shattered completely.

All living beings present were terrified.

But you were not flustered at all.

Because everyone else had retreated, and only Zhongli Cui stood before you!

The God of One-on-One Battles had already locked onto him.

And the ball of light that appeared in the sky was essentially an attack he launched; it was impossible for it to cause you any harm.

"Bang!!!"

The ball of light arrived before you in an instant.

But you merely raised your hand gently, shattering it.

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

If it weren't for the aftershocks of the light ball still causing palpitations, no one would have believed what had just happened.

"Zhongli Cui, is this your trump card?"

You looked at Zhongli Cui expressionlessly.

His face, at this moment, was filled with shock.

"This… how is this possible?!"

Zhongli Cui retreated repeatedly.

He never expected that an attack that gathered all the power of the Southern Land would be easily resolved by you.

At this moment, he even suspected that you had successfully Breakthrough to the God Realm.

You took a step, instantly appearing before Zhongli Cui.

The invisible pressure almost caused his Dao Heart to collapse.

"You… who exactly are you?!"

"What exactly do you want to do?!"

Zhongli Cui forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, stopping himself from trembling.

"What do I want to do? What do you think?!"

"How do I resolve my current predicament!"

You spoke coldly.

"The Divine Cultivation Method is simply irreversible. When my brother brought you here, you had already Cultivated it to Major Achievement on your own."

"At this point, you will never succeed in Breaking through to the God Realm. I also ended up in this situation because of the Divine Cultivation Method back then."

Zhongli Cui rapidly explained, like pouring out beans.

Then he paused and added.

"If you are willing to die now, my Divine Court can treat your descendants and relatives kindly."

"As long as my Divine Court exists for one day, they will stand at the pinnacle of this world for one day, how about it?"
