World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Regarding Master Liu’s current situation, as one of the creators of Cultivation Techniques, Zhang Xiaoman naturally understands it well.

Fortunately, he has now found a method to fix this drawback; simply by imprinting the Star Pattern, the issue of insufficient Spiritual Power can be greatly resolved.

Now, the crisis of the grand formation has been resolved, and the remaining monster is of no concern to him.

The reason he hasn’t made a move is to give Master Liu a chance to shine, not only to gain more combat experience but also to assess Master Liu’s current prowess.

"Hmm... It seems Master Liu’s cultivation talent isn’t as bad as Ni Yang says..."

At this moment, Master Liu and the Wolf Demon have exchanged several blows, going back and forth, leaving Zhang Xiaoman nodding in subtle approval.

Master Liu’s cultivation isn’t as high as the opponent’s, hovering around the Middle Stage, whereas the Wolf Demon is a Unification Peak Great Demon, just a step away from ascending to the Divinity Transformation Realm. That Master Liu can fight to this degree is quite commendable.

Of course, there’s also the aid of Spirit Stones and elixirs.

Though cultivators currently seem lacking in Spiritual Power, compared to the "impoverished" Demon Race, Human Clan cultivators heavily rely on their vast resources.

"Wahhh, damn it!"

The Wolf Demon became furious when witnessing the human cultivator swallow another elixir.

There’s nothing it can do, for the grand formation it set up has been destroyed, and now it’s impossible to restore it.

Moreover, what unsettles it isn’t the elder, but rather the young cultivator beside him.

Although the young cultivator has not yet taken any actions, the pressure he exerts on the Wolf Demon is even greater than that of the elder.

The Wolf Demon can’t fathom the young one’s strength, knowing there are typically only two scenarios for such a situation.

Either the opponent’s strength surpasses its own, or the person has cultivated some powerful technique to conceal their aura, making it impossible to gauge.

The Wolf Demon certainly hopes it’s the latter—dealing with a Unification Realm Sword Cultivator is already a huge headache, but if there’s another with greater power than itself, it might really meet its end here today.

Jing Heng had already hidden nearby; beings of this level engaged in combat made the mere act of standing nearby feel suffocating, let alone intervening.

He wisely concealed himself, hoping inside that if both parties could wound each other severely, that would be ideal.

"Humans! Don’t bully me too much!"

The Wolf Demon howled in frustration as one of its black claw Magic Treasures was shattered by Pei Laoliu.

"Too much bullying!? Hahaha! Quite the bullying! When you slaughtered millions of our Human Clan lives, did you ever consider it too much bullying?!"

Pei Laoliu laughed in fury.

The Wolf Demon gritted its teeth and seized the chance to use a forceful Spiritual Power attack to push him away.

"Let me, let me! Today, Master Liu will definitely skin this yellow-haired thing!"

Pei Laoliu prevented Zhang Xiaoman from stepping in, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed forward again.

This time, just as the two clashed fiercely, a sudden sound thundered from the sky.

"Boom!"

A massive lightning bolt shot out from the dark clouds, targeting the Wolf Demon below.

On the Wolf Demon’s head, the Blood Evil Energy hadn’t yet dissipated, and it gathered together to block the thunderbolt.

"Hahaha! The Heavenly Tribulation has come! The Heavenly Tribulation has come! With my current strength, passing the Heavenly Tribulation isn’t too difficult. When I ascend to the next realm, it will be your death day! Hahahaha!"

Seeing this, the Wolf Demon erupted into wild laughter. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

As long as it succeeds in passing this Heavenly Tribulation, achieving the Divinity Transformation Stage, these two individuals before it wouldn’t be a match.

Even the man who’s remained mysterious and hard to gauge, it dismisses now.

It has indeed figured it out; this human cultivator must have cultivated some secret technique to conceal his aura. Otherwise, given the current Spiritual Energy Recovery timeline, unless someone is like it, an evil cultivator sacrificing millions, the cultivation speed wouldn’t improve that quickly.

The Wolf Demon doesn’t recall any other place besides where it destroyed cities during this time.

All in all, once it survives the Heavenly Tribulation, these cultivators and the entire city of mortals will become its nourishment.

"Damn! It’s the Heavenly Tribulation! Of all times..."

Li Qiang unwillingly retreated.

He knows that at this moment, he must not approach the opponent, otherwise, the Heavenly Tribulation will target him.

Now, the Wolf Demon effectively has a natural protective layer; before the Heavenly Tribulation ends, no one would dare act rashly, even with long-range attacks.

Because if an attack is determined to be a target, the bonus would be facing a Tribulation.

Heavenly Tribulation isn’t a matter of being able to ignore it based on one’s cultivation being higher than the Tribulation Crossing.

On the contrary, if you become the new target of the Heavenly Tribulation, it will tailor one based on your current peak realm, and typically, this triggered tribulation is more powerful than an ordinary one.
