Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 446: Fight to the Death!
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy faced three opponents alone without showing the slightest sign of fatigue, instead growing increasingly valiant the more she fought. This sight instilled fear in people’s hearts.
Before such overwhelming cultivation, mountain ranges became softer than tofu. Wu Youdao and the other two crashed through countless mountains without slowing their momentum.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy appeared behind them with even greater speed, delivering several fists that sent them hurtling through the air once more.
The three bounced around like rubber balls; even stabilizing themselves was an extravagant hope.
“Space Defense!” Wu Youdao was the first to steady his footing. Faced with the fast and furious Everlasting Immortal Fairy, he erected multiple space defenses—protective magical treasures passed down through generations of Yu emperors.
These spaces were irregular in size and nearly impassable, each containing deadly traps and danger where survival was only a one in ten chance. Even if one could escape, they would still lose half of their life.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy scanned the spaces before her, then gracefully traversed through the layers of space with lotus-like steps, delivering a kick square to Wu Youdao’s face. The impact snapped his neck directly.
“How is this possible?!” Wu Youdao gasped in shock. Even if she’s an expert in spatial spells, she absolutely couldn’t have passed through these spaces. The irregular sizes are to prevent people from using spatial spells to cross through.
“She simultaneously used Shrinking Earth To Inches and Close Horizon From Cliff!” The Azure Lightning Venerable Lord’s sharp eyes recognized the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s moves. But I’ve never heard of anyone casting these two top-tier spatial spells at the same time!
The battered Wu Youdao’s trio weren’t the only ones whose scalps tingled. Even spectators like Qiu Jin’an and the white paper-hatted man felt chills seeping into their hearts. Fighting three opponents of the same cultivation realm at once with such ease and control—she’s definitely an immortal!
“As expected of Dou Heavenly Sovereign, the one who casually played with the stars like they were beans,” the white paper-hatted man murmured in awe. Even if it’s just the tip of the iceberg, judging by the power she has displayed, this description wasn’t an exaggeration.
Qiu Jin’an looked at the white paper-hatted man strangely. “Dou (Bean) Heavenly Sovereign who who casually played with the stars like they were beans? Not Dou (Battle) Heavenly Sovereign as in the ‘dou’ for ‘battle?’”
“It’s the ‘dou’ for ‘bean,’” the white paper-hatted man corrected Qiu Jin’an, though he didn’t reveal any further information.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy stretched comfortably. After staying in the mental space all this while, I finally get to move about and stretch my limbs.
“Enough playing around. Time to end this.”
She dished out three consecutive unavoidable fists, each encompassing comprehension of spatial spells. The trio suffered the three punches and could no longer hold on, falling from the sky like torn sacks.
Wu Youdao spat dark blood, his eyes bloodshot. Born with Dragon-Tiger Qi, his life had gone smoothly with exceptional cultivation talent. Everyone praised that he had inherited the aura of his ancestors and was destined for greatness. And indeed, it was the case. Cultivation came as naturally to him as drinking water, and he never encountered bottlenecks. Only when he was advancing to the Transcendent Tribulation Stage did he face some difficulties, but that was all.
He successfully ascended as the sixth Yu emperor, and none of his younger siblings were worthy to contend with him for the throne. After becoming emperor, he found that cultivation at the Transcendent Tribulation Stage was fraught with challenges and no longer as effortless as before. However, his ambitions extended far beyond just the Transcendent Tribulation Stage.
He wanted to become an immortal.
To this end, he participated in the Imperial Preceptor’s plans, slumbering for 180,000 years before awakening to seize fortuitous opportunities for immortal ascension. He set his sights on the national fortune’s power, which could catalyze a complete transformation of his Dragon-Tiger Qi. It would be a tremendous boon to him in the upcoming Great Era’s battles for immortal ascension opportunities.
Since the Imperial Preceptor wanted to analyze the national fortune, and Wu Youdao wanted to obtain its power, the Hanshui City plan was thus born.
“I am the Yu Emperor. Emperors never speak of retreat!” Wu Youdao spat a mouthful of black blood before swallowing another half-immortal-grade great pill. His aura surged like a rainbow, with the Dragon and Tiger Qi flanking him like civil and martial ministers.

The Azure Lightning Venerable Lord lay embedded in a mountain crevice. His already-aged features aged further, and he gasped raggedly. He had exhausted his hidden cards to fend off the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s fists but to no avail.
Against that strike, all he could do was preserve his life.
The Azure Lightning Venerable Lord closed his eyes, reflecting on his life.
He was born to a middling ancestral clan, where the old ancestor was merely at the Transcendent Tribulation Stage. At that time, the first imperial preceptor still assisted in governing the nation. Due to his background, he was subjected to neglect and bullying in his clan.
One day, while gathering herbs in the mountains, he accidentally stumbled across a secret domain and obtained a legacy of lightning spells. However, his circumstances only improved marginally. He possessed the legacy but lacked resources.
To get his hands on resources, he fought with all his might, enhanced himself through countless bloody battles, joined multiple factions, defeated numerous indomitable opponents, and finally attained success and fame, crushing the clan that once looked down on him beneath his feet.
His desperate fighting style in his younger days and the incomplete lightning spells legacy left him with a much shorter lifespan than other Transcendent Tribulation cultivators. To prolong his lifespan, he chose to slumber. While others contended for fortuitous opportunities to become an immortal, he forsook his own opportunities to seize lifespan-extending spirit items instead.
He didn’t care who the emperor was or who could become an immortal. He had participated in Hanshui City’s plans this time simply because the Imperial Preceptor had promised to help him acquire lifespan-extending spirit items.
Never had I imagined I’d encounter such a formidable foe who could threaten my life.
Should I concede defeat?
As the Azure Lightning Venerable Lord’s consciousness faded, his life flashed before him. Defeating my older cousin brother for Foundation Establishment spirit items, joining assassin guilds to comprehend my golden core, defeating three peers in succession to shatter my golden core and form my nascent soul, and slaughtering until my life force nearly extinguished... 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
No!
His eyes snapped open. I’ve been battling nonstop in my life. Every fortuitous opportunity was seized through struggles and bloodshed!
So what if she’s born to counter me? Does that necessarily mean I can’t defeat her?
“Kill her!”

The Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord sighed at the familiar yet alien Yin-Corpse Mountain Rage. He was a descendant of the legendary seclusive Witchcraft Tribe. After he stole the Witchcraft Tribe’s forbidden Corpse-Driving Techniques, they crippled his cultivation, erased his memories of the techniques, and evicted him from the tribe.
Fortunately, he didn’t lose all his memories, and fragments of Corpse-Driving Techniques flashed through his mind occasionally. Relying on these fragments, he ventured into various tombs and harnessed the environment to cultivate, rebuilding his cultivation and finally recalling the complete Corpse-Driving Techniques.
To elevate his cultivation realm, he stirred up a notable corpse outbreak in Great Yu. The imperial court captured him but spared his life, recognizing his talent and planning to nurture him instead. With the imperial court grooming him, his cultivation gradually outclassed the other budding talents in his cohort, reaching the Transcendent Tribulation Stage.
The first thing he did after breaking through to the Transcendent Tribulation Stage was to storm the Witchcraft Tribe and slaughter every last member to obtain a plethora of legacies.
Since the imperial court has given me the cultivation to exact vengeance, I must repay them with lives! This is called gratitude!
“Your Majesty, you mustn’t die here. Let’s go all out!”
Infernal flames blazed in their eyes as they prepared to fight to the death.
“Dragon-Tiger Qi, fight with this sovereign!” Wu Youdao stepped on the Dragon Qi, while the Tiger Qi morphed into protective tattoos across his back. The roars of a tiger reverberated through the air as his left and right eyes transformed into the eye of a dragon and tiger respectively. His entire being radiated with an untamed bestial nature.
“Azure lightning rushes in, forged through countless trials!” A colossal azure lightning struck the Azure Lightning Venerable Lord, branding his forehead with a lightning sigil. His hair stood on end and danced with electricity as his body became much younger, returning to his appearance in his prime.
He was burning his lifespan in exchange for the body in his prime!
“The Azure Lightning old ghost is already burning his lifespan. I shan’t be left behind. Witchcraft Tribe’s Secret Art—Heaven-Sacrificial Fist!” The Witchcraft Sacrifice Venerable Lord went mad and abandoned all optimism, no longer holding back. Letting out a roar, he sacrificed himself to the heavens. Majestic power descended from the sky and gushed into his body until every cell glistened with overflowing energy.
“Attack together!” The trio launched their assault simultaneously and went all in, unleashing their final trump cards and strongest moves to eliminate the Everlasting Immortal Fairy right on the spot.
“Be careful!” Qiu Jin’an warned as cold sweat beaded on his forehead. Even if he was spectating the battle from a distance, the trio’s do-or-die methods that threw all caution to the wind felt extremely menacing.
The white paper-hatted man gulped, worried whether the Everlasting Immortal Fairy could survive the deadly onslaught.
Bang, bang, bang! The Everlasting Immortal Fairy performed the Immortal Fairy Fist Technique, delivering a fist to each of the three, punching most of the life out of them.
The trio collapsed to the ground, spasming uncontrollably.
“Is this a joke? You almost gave this immortal a fright. I even thought you had some impressive moves.”
