Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 445: Sweeping Through

The world fell into a deathly silence. Whether one was from Great Xia or Great Yu, all were awestruck by the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s single finger.

Anyone could see that Wu Youdao had poured everything into unleashing his Cosmos in Palm—it was his trump card and ultimate killing blow. Yet this move had been effortlessly dismantled, and even the “Rule” confining Hanshui City had been extirpated.

Just how terrifying was her mastery over power, spells, and “Rules?!”

Lower-realm cultivators who borrowed higher-realm power were often limited by factors such as their thinking and judgment, unable to bring out the potential of the higher-realm power. Moreover, the national fortune was an immortal method. Even Transcendent Tribulation cultivators struggled to grasp its usage. This was also why Provincial Governor Lü remained on the defensive during the battle earlier.

In contrast, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had exchanged blows with peers of the same cultivation realm when she was at the Transcendent Tribulation Stage, allowing her to familiarize herself with the power a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator should possess. After she became an immortal, her horizons broadened, and she could even provide combat guidance to those at the Transcendent Tribulation Stage.

No one in the world could maximize the power of the national fortune better than her.

“Are you alright?” The Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord stepped forward to offer Wu Youdao a precious half-immortal-grade pill for his injuries. Such pills not only placed high demands on the pill-concocter’s skills but also required rare ingredients that were difficult to obtain. One successful concoction didn’t guarantee another.

But with a formidable foe in front of us, I can’t afford to care so much now. Wu Youdao is pivotal to Great Yu’s resurgence. The Imperial Preceptor’s plans require his coronation after Great Yu’s resurgence. He can’t fall here.

The half-immortal-grade pill was highly effective. After ingesting one, the backlash from the “Rule” abated, and his pierced palm began healing. However, its recovery was slower than expected due to the lingering effect of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s move.

“Attack together!” Wu Youdao had no choice but to admit that his opponent was not someone he could defeat alone. “Stop holding back! This commotion will draw more powerful cultivators from Great Xia. We must end this battle before they rush over!”

With the national fortune right before his eyes, Wu Youdao was bent on snatching it. If we return empty-handed, the losses this time would be unthinkable.

Logically speaking, Transcendent Tribulation-level battles hinged on one’s mastery of “Rules,” but the three had long realized their opponent was likely a true immortal. If one played with “Rules” before an immortal, they wouldn’t even know how they had died!

We might as well use spells to fight!

The Azure Lightning Venerable Lord and Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord skipped the probing segment, deploying their trump cards right from the outset.

“Brilliant heavenly lightning, heed my command!” The Azure Lightning Venerable Lord’s title contained the character for “lightning” precisely because he specialized in lightning spells.

In an instant, the sky seemed to be collapsing. Silver serpents danced wildly, resembling jiao dragons soaring through the sky. The deafening noises shook Hanshui City. Without the protective arrays, everyone’s eardrums would have burst.

Right after the “Rules” were shattered, the people outside the city didn’t have time to register what had happened when they saw a blackened sky over Hanshui City with lightning striking down like rain. Fear seized them, their legs quivering and their knees buckling.

The might of the thunder strikes was no less inferior to the earlier lightning tribulation, or even surpassed it! After all, the lightning tribulation offered a one-in-a-ten chance of survival, while the Azure Lightning Venerable Lord’s move left no room for mercy—it was a ten-out-of-ten chance of death![1]

The lightning wove into a layered bird cage, trapping the Everlasting Immortal Fairy within. One could imagine the overwhelming lightning assaults the person inside would suffer when the cramped cage compressed the space within to its extreme.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was unfazed, speaking just loud enough for the three Great Yu cultivators to hear. “The tribulation punishments in the world stem from the Heaven Mandate Immortal’s Tribulation Mandate Dao Fruit, with most punishments being lightning tribulations. Yet even the Heaven Mandate Immortal dared not attack this immortal with lightning spells. How could your abysmal imitation possibly succeed?”

The Azure Lightning Venerable Lord’s pupils constricted, and his face contorted in astonishment. Her few words revealed so many ancient secrets!

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s mouth curved into a smug smile. Unfortunately, as she was shrouded in national fortune, no one could see her appearance, much less her smile.

She extended her fair forefinger and pointed to the sky. Parting her lips, she uttered a few words, and the frightening lightning cage instantly vanished without a trace. Clear skies returned as if nothing had happened.

As the Azure Lightning Venerable Lord was closest to her, only he heard her words and couldn’t stop trembling.

She said, “By decree, disperse.”

A decree is a command from a high-ranking figure to a subordinate. Yet, just these few simple words alone dispersed my proud imitation of lightning tribulation. That can only mean one thing...

Her status is even higher than lightning tribulation—the lightning tribulation dares not strike her!

How is that possible?!

The Azure Lightning Venerable Lord had never heard of such a thing, but only this explanation remained.

Terror took root in his heart. She is my natural nemesis!

“Self-Sacrificial Fist!” The Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord strode forward, his steps sending ripples through the air as he executed his fist technique.

This was his strongest move that earned him his honorable title.

His fist technique radiated unmatched dominance, with blinding golden light and divine rays and a dusky fog appearing behind him. This was the corpse energy he had accumulated, all of them fueling his Self-Sacrificial Fist.

“Immortal Fairy Fist Technique.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy swung her delicate fist. Despite looking soft like cotton, it encompassed the supreme principles of the Great Dao and boundless wonders.

The Immortal Fairy Fist Technique was the culmination of over ten thousand fist techniques, including the Arhat Fruit Fist, Forsythia Fist, Semiaquilegia Root[2] Fist. Among them, there was no lack of fist techniques that neutralized corpse energy, such as the heat-clearing and detoxifying Arhat Fruit Fist and Forsythia Fist.

Before the Immortal Fairy Fist Technique, the corpse energy automatically dissipated. Deprived of its fuel, the Self-Sacrificial Fist became like rootless duckweed, its power nearly nonexistent.

The Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord was dumbfounded. Ever since he mastered fist techniques, he had never encountered a situation like this. Without giving him time to react, the Immortal Fairy Fist Technique came crashing toward his face. A flurry of delicate fists rained down on his face, leaving him bruised and battered.

“Supreme Threefold Force!”

“Azure Lightning Body Refinement!”

“Earth-Sacrificial Fist!”

The three Great Yu cultivators launched their assault simultaneously, their spells and techniques astonishing the heavens, and their massive momentum resembling a cataclysm.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy transformed into a martial immortal and faced them three alone, capturing dragons and tigers and ignoring lightning spells. Her fist technique was unbeatable as she swept through everything. With combat prowess that defied the heavens, she beat the trio until they were forced to backpedal repeatedly, leaving them utterly routed.

Even for the most exceptional talents, the highest praise people could offer was merely “possesses the potential to become an immortal.”

But the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was a bona fide immortal. Such highest praise was actually demeaning to her.

She fought with effortless ease, capable of nullifying any attack. The so-called untransmitted spells displayed by Wu Youdao and the other two were nothing new to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. She had already seen them in the ancient era and countered them with practiced familiarity.

The techniques her enemies knew, she knew better. The techniques her enemies didn’t know, she knew too.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy shook her head. If these three had lived in ancient times, they wouldn’t even have qualified to contend to become immortals. They’re too weak.

Boom! The three were blasted away by a single punch from the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, catapulting halfway across Hanshui City before embedding themselves into the Corpse-Driving Sect’s Yin-Corpse Mountain Range.

“All of you are not up to par. You’re far inferior to the Heaven Mandate Immortal and the others.”
