Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 614: Nascent Soul Breakthrough

Zhu Yunwu’s pupils constricted. The feathers on his four wings stood on end, and his smile froze on his face.

As Lu Yang’s opponent, he knew all too well just how formidable Lu Yang was. If he’s allowed to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, I’m afraid that even burning my essence blood wouldn’t be enough to defeat him!

Lu Yang strode toward Zhu Yunwu, his footsteps echoing—tap, tap, tap. After each step was a slight pause. The sound didn’t seem to come from his feet stepping on the heavenly altar but from trampling upon Zhu Yunwu’s spirit platform. His attitude was leisurely, as if he was strolling through the garden, not bothering with Zhu Yunwu.

He had originally been at the Ninth-Layer Golden Core cultivation realm. If he wanted to break through, he could have done so at any time. However, his plan had been to tour the Demon Kingdom first and return to the Dao-Seeking Sect to break through slowly. It was, after all, a major realm breakthrough—he felt it deserved a sense of ceremony.

Unfortunately, there was a change in plans.

Seeing the situation turn dire, Zhu Yunwu let out a low cry and attacked first, seizing the initiative! I mustn’t let him break through successfully!

His four wings vibrated, and his six hooves trod upon the sky, causing space to shake. Zhu Yunwu fought with everything on the line, resembling a torrential mudslide crashing down.

Completely unprepared, Lu Yang was sent flying and slammed into the heavenly altar’s railing.

“Huff, huff... So you’re really at the end of your rope.” Zhu Yunwu laughed heartily, relaxing immediately.

That’s right. The heaven-covering huge hand seal has already depleted all his spirit energy. Where would he get the strength to break through? I was too nervous.

Lu Yang spat out a mouthful of blood. The bloody spittle landed on the pristine white liuli-glazed jade, particularly conspicuous. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up, walking toward Zhu Yunwu with that same confident smile of assured victory still on his visage.

“Again.”

Zhu Yunwu’s eyes instantly reddened. Fear spread through his heart. Like a maddened bull, he launched a frenzied assault on Lu Yang.

Each time, Lu Yang didn’t dodge, meeting Zhu Yunwu’s strikes head-on. But with each of Zhu Yunwu’s attacks, the distance Lu Yang was knocked back shortened.

The last time, Lu Yang had only retreated half a step.

Amidst the repeated impacts, cracks appeared on the surface of his golden core. A milky white light spilled from the fissures, rapidly healing Lu Yang’s injuries.

Zhu Yunwu charged up for another strike.

Lu Yang finally moved.

He extended his right palm and exerted force abruptly, pressing down on Zhu Yunwu’s head and forcibly stopping this attack.

Zhu Yunwu looked up at Lu Yang with a face of utter disbelief, only to be greeted by a face wreathed in smiles...and a Lu Yang at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Bones cracked and popped. In that short span of time, Lu Yang had undergone a round of tempering his bones. His physical constitution was no longer the same as before, like the difference between clouds and mud.

His essence, qi, and mind had merged into one. Using the accumulated Unbeatable Momentum as a catalyst, they intertwined within his dantian and gave birth to a bizarre and wondrous power.

The Unbeatable Golden Core had shattered completely. Abundant spirit energy burst forth, coursing through all his meridians. A frightening vortex of spirit energy formed above the heavenly altar, madly pouring down into Lu Yang’s body, replenishing his withered meridians and nourishing the newly born infant.

Within his dantian, an infant the size of a fingertip curled into a ball, emitting a peaceful, milky white glow. It accepted the spirit energy from the outside world and continuously grew until it reached three inches in height and could move freely. Only then did it stop absorbing.

Unlike a real born child, the nascent soul was pale and tender, its face full of excitement and a joyous smile.

“Is that all?” Lu Yang’s muscles tensed. His body was like a large dragon with power thrumming through it. He delivered a punch squarely into Zhu Yunwu’s face.

“How is this possible?!” Zhu Yunwu couldn’t believe it. How can my opponent not only break through to the Nascent Soul at will, but also possess such power immediately after breaking through? Doesn’t he need to consolidate his foundation and undergo the process of burnishing his nascent soul?!

When ordinary cultivators broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, their cultivation would be unstable, and they would require time to stabilize it.

But Lu Yang was the wielder of the strongest golden core and never lost a single battle at the Golden Core Stage. The Unbeatable Momentum he formed from his continuous victories could directly help consolidate his foundation, so he had no need to go into seclusion to stabilize his cultivation.

Zhu Yunwu had never encountered such a situation. Caught off guard by Lu Yang’s rapid succession of changes, he missed the initiative. Lu Yang didn’t even need to use his sword techniques. By relying on just his fists and feet, he could suppress Zhu Yunwu.

“I will definitely win!” Zhu Yunwu went berserk. Disregarding the consequences, he burned his essence blood to temporarily boost his combat power.

The surrounding crowd gasped in alarm. Zhu Yunwu’s foundation was unstable. If he burned his essence blood to break through at this moment, even if he won this round, it would likely be extremely difficult for him to make further breakthroughs in the future!

A faint silhouette of Zhu Tian appeared behind Zhu Yunwu. As the ancient ancestor of the Dijiang Tribe and their most powerful existence, Zhu Tian was the source of their bloodline. The appearance of Zhu Tian’s phantom was one of the characteristics of burning essence blood—borrowing power from ancestors to defeat a powerful foe!

Zhu Yunwu roared, completely unhinged.

Lu Yang took out a pill and flicked it into Zhu Yunwu’s mouth with his index finger while the latter roared.

Zhu Yunwu wanted to spit it out, but Lu Yang stepped forward and pushed his chin upward. By reflex, Zhu Yunwu swallowed the pill.

“What did you feed me?!” Zhu Yunwu cried out in horror. He felt the power gained from burning his essence blood dissipating rapidly. This pill had forcibly interrupted the process of his essence blood combustion.

Lu Yang beamed as he explained. “Realm-Breaking Pill. It can help someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage break through to the Golden Core Stage. At the same time, it can also help someone at the Nascent Soul break through to the Golden Core Stage.”

When Lu Yang had asked Seventh Elder to concoct the Spring-Revival Yang-Restoration Pill, the latter had just successfully concocted the Realm-Breaking Pill. To celebrate, Seventh Elder had gifted one to Lu Yang.

Zhu Yunwu’s heart sank. As I thought, not only is the power from burning my essence blood disappearing, but even my cultivation realm is plummeting!

He was completely flustered. How am I supposed to fight like this?

“Trash!” Zhu Tian was incensed. I’m now certain that the one on the heavenly altar is the real Young Creed Leader Lu. Where else would such a peerless genius appear from?

Regardless, Zhu Yunwu absolutely can’t lose here.

This is a matter of face and dignity!

This is the very first battle after the founding of the Demon Kingdom. If we get defeated by the Heavenly Court Creed, this humiliation will be the ridicule of my lifetime.

He separated a wisp of his divine mind and attached it to Zhu Yunwu’s body.

“Shifu...”

“Trash! Let me handle this!” Zhu Tian temporarily took control of Zhu Yunwu’s body, halting the fall of his cultivation realm.

“Rise!” He commanded softly.

Zhu Yunwu’s cultivation realm returned to the Nascent Soul Stage!

Lu Yang had just learned from the Everlasting Immortal Fairy that his opponent had changed from Zhu Yunwu to Supreme Lord Zhu Tian. He was utterly exasperated. Is it not enough that your Demon Kingdom’s referee is biased? Now even the referee is taking the field?

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was indignant about the unfairness on Lu Yang’s behalf. She rolled up her sleeves and charged forward. “This grandson Zhu Tian has been cunning and slippery since the first time I met him. How dare he fight like this now? Step aside and let me handle this!”

Lu Yang invoked the deity to possess him, granting the Everlasting Immortal Fairy free rein to act.

Meanwhile, Zhu Tian was berating Zhu Yunwu inside the mental space.

“Disgraceful brat! You can’t even defeat an opponent like this and have to force your shifu to intervene personally. Watch closely how your shifu fights!”

Zhu Tian controlled Zhu Yunwu’s body and shook off his lethargy. He was prepared to counterattack when he was met with Lu Yang’s fist smashing into his face with a clang, leaving him disoriented. He could even faintly hear something about an “Immortal Fairy Fist Technique.”

Zhu Yunwu watched this scene without uttering a word, silently and humbly learning from it.
