As Fu Yuan, standing atop the Demon Saint Peak, quickly locked onto Lu Jin'an's position once more.

In his sight, Lu Jin'an, surrounded by tribulation lightning with nine-colored brilliance surging around him, unexpectedly stepped out of the Two Realms Pass. With the sound of a sword being unsheathed, blinding sword qi burst forth with a chilling silver gleam, crashing into the Demon Clan army and heading straight for the Jiao Emperor at the forefront.

The wind grew fiercer, and the sky darkened further. In front of the Two Realms Pass, a resounding roar soared into the heavens, seeming like a dragon yet not.

This was the full eruption of Lu Jin'an's vitality and blood power, surging towards the nine skies. In an instant, the radius of a hundred miles was covered in a torrential sea of blood.

The sound was almost like that of a true dragon about to be born.

Fu Yuan's expression darkened, and his enormous dragon body swooped down in an instant. The space around him undulated, clearly able to reach his target in a blink, yet he seemed to lose his direction, growing further away with each step.

He abruptly halted his figure, turning his head to look in one direction: "Shangguan Qizheng, you old fool... courting death!"

Shangguan Qizheng, who had long since hidden far away, had five immortal artifacts floating around him, including the Mountain and River Map acquired earlier.

At this moment, he stroked his beard: "If you want to touch him, break through this old man's formation first."

As one of the human clan's strong figures at the Divine Concealment Peak, Shangguan Qizheng's strength, though not on par with Zheng Dongliu, was far more troublesome than him in terms of Dao Domain or Immortal Techniques.

Therefore, to the Demon Clan, he was the most troublesome opponent.

Fu Yuan coldly stared at Shangguan Qizheng and shouted: "Yuan Ming, Xue Xi!"

Flame Dragon contends, Snow Phoenix shrieks urgently.

Shangguan Qizheng's expression shifted; he had long anticipated that the Ancient Court of the Demon Clan would not just dispatch these Demon Saints, and naturally had prepared for it.

However, with Zheng Dongliu now held up by Xiong Qiong, he felt immense pressure facing three Demon Saints alone.

"Heavenly Observation Mirror, come forth!"

Shangguan Qizheng summoned the Tianyan Pavilion's treasured artifact, the Immortal Artifact Heavenly Observation Mirror.

The Heavenly Observation Mirror, possessing the ability to reflect all things and break through temporal and spatial gaps, naturally targeted the Dragon Clan skilled in the Path of Space.

Yet, controlling so many immortal artifacts alone was no small exertion, but thankfully, the purpose of this war wasn't to kill enemies, but to delay.

The struggle of immortals and saints in front of the Two Realms Pass wasn't confined to the Shenwu Defense Zone.

On the frontal battlefield, Lu Jin'an carried the terrifying might of the heavenly tribulation and the horrifying sound of breaking wind, directly knocking back a Jiao Emperor.

The Jiao Emperor's expression drastically changed. Although he wanted to resist, the innate strength of Lu Jin'an's physique, coupled with the intimidating might of the heavenly tribulation that made none dare, filled the Jiao Emperor's heart with fear... The first clash couldn't be stopped!

Does this kid have no fear of the heavenly tribulation's power continuously strengthening due to external interference!?

What shocked this Jiao Emperor even more was that the nine-colored Spiritual Energy Cloud above Lu Jin'an's head was condensing at an even faster rate than before.

When a Nine Tribulation Crossing Cultivator from the Human Clan ascends to immortality, their Spiritual Energy Cloud is colored, representing the cultivation techniques and path the cultivator follows.

But Lu Jin'an's Spiritual Energy Cloud not only possessed nine-colored brilliance but also harbored a tempest of the heavens and earth, like golden warriors and chariots, devouring mountains and rivers.

In just a brief instant, his Spiritual Energy Cloud rapidly expanded beyond nine miles, reaching the second level of the lower three layers.

It was the first time the Jiao Emperor witnessed such a terrifying breakthrough speed, leaving him in a state of shock, wondering what on earth was happening.

"Continue!"

As he zoned out, Lu Jin'an charged once more. Even as the heavenly tribulation's power continued to strengthen due to external demon emperor's interference, he only grew more valiant as he fought.

The Jiao Emperor shouted: "Help me, quickly!"

His physique was already inferior to the demon emperor's, and combined with the heavenly tribulation's might, the Jiao Emperor genuinely felt outmatched, so he decisively sought help from the other demon emperors present.

On the Two Realms Pass city wall, Fang Sanjie's expression turned grim. The Saint Heir's proactive strike was unexpected, but at this moment, they had to guard against the other demon emperors.

However, as he prepared to order the Immortals to support, Zheng Dongliu's voice reached his ears: "Let Jin'an fight, assist when the opportunity arises!"

Fang Sanjie's expression faltered; although he didn't understand the Sect Master's reasoning, he obeyed the order. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Above the nine heavens, Zheng Dongliu retracted his gaze as he faced off against Xiong Qiong, a satisfied glint in his eyes: "Have you ever seen ascension like this?"

Gazing silently down, Xiong Qiong made no response.

The heavenly tribulation represents the final challenge for individuals or demons to perfect what they have learned.

For the Human Clan, it was the ultimate process of having the Immortal Seed sprout, rules advancing to the Law Avenue, and dominion transforming into a Dao Domain.

However, that kid named Lu Jin'an found the pure refinement of heavenly tribulation too slow, so he actively sought duels with demon emperors.

Xiong Qiong naturally understood the intent behind Lu Jin'an's actions: battling against strong foes is always the quickest way to enhance one's strength and experience.

And now Lu Jin'an was using this method to accelerate his immortal ascension!

Even while resisting the heavenly tribulation, he sought out strong opponents to fight... one misstep could end in death and the dissipation of his Dao — he truly wasn't afraid of death, this kid.

Xiong Qiong looked at Zheng Dongliu, his eyes darkly shaded, due to the suppression of this world's land, he couldn't exert his full strength; otherwise, he would have long dealt with this old man before him.

"I now have an idea," Zheng Dongliu said leisurely: "Let those demon emperors avoid that boy's edge; won't that slow his immortal ascension?"

"Isn't one demon emperor enough? Then let's have two, four... ten!"

Xiong Qiong spoke unhurriedly: "Your number of immortals is already fewer than the Demon Clan, and there must also be someone to protect that young fish, protect the burgeoning Dragon Vein land in the east, how many immortals can you send out?
