Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

If a Core Formation cultivator were afraid of the dark, it would probably be the biggest joke in the cultivation world.

However, as darkness surged like a tide, wave after wave crashing into his sea of consciousness, Du Fuming developed an instinctive fear of the dark.

It was a fear implanted in his soul.

He guarded his mind, desperately unleashing his divine soul power to fight against the tide of darkness.

But to his despair, this tide of darkness and the power of his divine soul were completely different, unable to interfere with each other.

His divine soul power rushed forward with a roar, disappearing into who knows where, completely ineffective. The tide of darkness remained unaffected, washing over his divine soul wave after wave.

Du Fuming had experienced countless dangers in his life, but never had he felt so helpless. It was laughable that a Core Formation cultivator like him would have such a moment of weakness and incompetence.

He wanted to roar in madness, but the sound he uttered was swallowed by the darkness.

His thoughts gradually blurred, and countless scenes and figures from the past faded from his memory, never to be found again.

He was terrified, grief-stricken, and mad, summoning all his magical power, wanting to self-destruct and perish together with this darkness.

"Boom!"

His goal was achieved, but unfortunately, the darkness remained the same, while his divine soul and body were torn apart in the explosion.

He died. He died inexplicably.

From the moment the Yang Refining Umbrella flew out of his storage bracelet to the moment the dark, ink-like umbrella surface covered Du Fuming's head, only half a breath passed. Half a breath later, Du Fuming's dantian exploded, his head shattered, and he died tragically.

Zhang Yuanjing was dumbfounded. Although he had used this umbrella against Foundation Establishment cultivators, the difference in strength was too great, and he couldn't see the umbrella's power at all.

This time, ambushing a Core Formation cultivator resulted in an instant kill, leaving the opponent no chance to resist. It was terrifyingly powerful.

This was just a Connate spiritual treasure. How terrifying would a supernatural spiritual treasure be?

Without Du Fuming's suppression, Yu Tianwan and the other two moved in unison, their gazes towards Zhang Yuanjing filled with surprise and joy.

Killing a Core Formation cultivator was a battle achievement that could turn the tide of the entire Flowing Cloud City battle.

Although the Heavenly Devil Abyss still had three Core Formation cultivators, the Profound Heaven Sect was able to eliminate one without Tong Tianfu's intervention, which meant that the other three Core Formation cultivators of the Heavenly Devil Abyss could face the same level of battle at any time, and if they were not careful enough, they might even fall.

This was a strategic check and balance that changed the overall situation, bringing the entire battle to life and no longer resembling the previous situation where Tong Tianfu was restrained, and the Profound Heaven Sect was tied up and passively beaten.

"Yuanjing! I never expected that the backup arranged by Real Person Tong was actually you. You really kept your mouth shut tight. This old Taoist didn't hear a single word of news from beginning to end!" Yu Tianwan laughed loudly, walked to Zhang Yuanjing's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a mixture of emotion and jest.

At this time, Min Tianzhuo and He Tianhong had untied the long vines from Jin Tianwu and the other six.

The eight of them gathered around, their gazes towards Zhang Yuanjing were very complicated, but mostly filled with shock, admiration, and gratitude.

At this moment, the Yang Refining Umbrella slowly moved to above Zhang Yuanjing's head and transmitted a sentence to him.

Zhang Yuanjing's brow twitched, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.

He gave Yu Tianwan a hand gesture and said, "Uncle-Master, there is still one matter unfinished. Please wait here for a moment!"

With that, he held the Yang Refining Umbrella in his hand and slowly walked towards a mound on the east side.

It was only thirty miles away from the place where the Yang Refining Umbrella fought with Du Fuming, which could be seen clearly with the divine sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

On the mound, there were only a few towering trees, and the ground beneath the trees was covered with fallen leaves. Several sparrows were chirping on the trees.

As he got closer and closer, the sparrows sensed the tense atmosphere and immediately flapped their wings and flew away. The mound immediately became silent.

When he was five miles away, Zhang Yuanjing's divine sense probed under the mound and quickly locked onto a dark figure.

His eyes were like lightning, his face was full of murderous intent, and he raised the Yang Refining Umbrella and pushed it forward. The umbrella swept across the sky like a phantom and fell towards the mound.

The next moment, the black figure locked by Zhang Yuanjing's divine sense disappeared.

"Zhang Umbrella, where is that person?"

"Reporting to Master, he ran away."

"Really ran away, or is he hiding nearby?"

"This, I don't know. Anyway, in Zhang Umbrella's spiritual sense, there is no Core Formation cultivator within a hundred miles."

"That's good! You should come back! Can you hold on?"

"This distance is nothing!"

Earlier, not long after Zhang Umbrella killed Du Fuming, just as it was about to return to his storage bracelet, it suddenly transmitted a message to him, saying that there was still a Core Formation cultivator hidden under the mound.

It hadn't noticed it at first, but it only sensed it when this person emerged from the depths of the earth.

A thought flashed through Zhang Yuanjing's mind, and he immediately guessed that the Core Formation cultivator hiding in the earth was likely the surviving Core Formation cultivator from the Thick Earth Sect.

This person had probably also received news of his return and wanted to seize the Eight Earth Art Secrets from him!

At this time, if the Yang Refining Umbrella didn't lack spiritual power, he would definitely drive it to kill this person.

However, although Zhang Umbrella killed Du Fuming with one strike, it had used a very high-level divine ability after all. This one strike alone had consumed all the spiritual power accumulated over several years. How could it still deal with a Core Formation cultivator?

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Yuanjing's mind in an instant, and he knew that escaping at this time was the worst strategy.

This person was originally hidden deep in the earth, unknown to them. After Du Fuming was killed, he suddenly approached the surface, revealing his whereabouts. His intention was clearly to test him.

If he escaped, it would mean that the Yang Refining Umbrella was weak and could no longer be used. At that time, facing the pursuit of a Core Formation cultivator who was good at earth escape, it would be difficult for him, Zhang Yuanjing, to escape death no matter where he went.

Therefore, he decisively made a decision, bluffing and killing his way to the door to see if this Real Person dared to risk being killed and come out to fight the Yang Refining Umbrella.

Just now, the Yang Refining Umbrella's one-hit kill of Du Fuming must have left a deep impression on this Thick Earth Sect Real Person. Without knowing the truth, he probably wouldn't dare to risk his life and gamble.

This was a desperate gamble. If he lost, his body would die and his Dao would disappear, all his attachments would vanish, and even the nine Foundation Establishment elders of the Profound Heaven Sect would fall together. Only if he won could he preserve the battle results and save his life!

Fortunately, he finally won the bet. The Real Person of the Thick Earth Sect was obviously frightened by the Yang Refining Umbrella's move of killing a Real Person with one strike and didn't dare to gamble with his life, so he had to escape in disgrace.

He retracted the Yang Refining Umbrella, but didn't put it into his storage bracelet. Instead, he held it in his hand and still walked back calmly.

"Yuanjing, what exactly happened?" Yu Tianwan asked from afar.

"There was still a strong enemy hiding there, but he was frightened away by this Yang Refining Umbrella!" Zhang Yuanjing said calmly.

"Core Formation?"

"Probably. Otherwise, it wouldn't have alarmed this umbrella."

Yu Tianwan glanced at the Yang Refining Umbrella. He naturally knew the origin of this umbrella, but in front of the other Profound Heaven Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators, he couldn't say it, so as not to arouse their greed.

This place was not suitable for a long stay.

Zhang Yuanjing then asked, "Uncle-Master Yu, Elders, I saw the Heavenly Devil Abyss Foundation Establishment cultivators flying east in groups earlier. I wonder what the reason is?"

Yu Tianwan's face suddenly tightened, and he exchanged glances with the others, slapping his forehead, "Damn it, they went to search for the Profound Heaven Sect's lower sect cultivators. I don't know how the situation is! Let's go, we'll chase after them to see if we can save a few! Yuanjing, you come with me too!"

Zhang Yuanjing nodded, "Uncles-Masters, please go first. I'll go get a few items and then I'll be there."
