No hope for eternal life

Chapter 429 Attacked

Then came the competition for the late stage of tribulation. Mu Changsheng’s real body participated in this competition again. Joining him were 23 cultivators in the late stage of tribulation, including Lin Yu.

The first round of screening in the late stage of tribulation is still Xiao Niansheng's divine power and pressure. For Xiao Niansheng, there is almost no difference between the early stage of tribulation and the late stage of tribulation. As long as she wants, she can use her pressure to defeat Mu Changsheng and others in an instant.

So the first round of screening ended quickly, and only eight monks were left to compete.

Mu Changsheng met an old rival this time, Du Qiyou, who had also broken through to the late stage of tribulation. Du Qiyou naturally did not recognize Mu Changsheng at this time, but Mu Changsheng had an extremely deep impression of Du Qiyou.

So Mu Changsheng did not hold back too much, and right from the start he used the seventh-grade God-Slaying Formation to trap Du Qiyu.

After Du Qiyou was trapped in the God-Slaying Formation, he quickly realized the extraordinary nature of this formation. Although his cultivation had reached the late stage of Tribulation Crossing, there was still a huge gap between him and the Divine Sea Realm. This formation was far beyond his ability to break.

Realizing this, Du Qiyou was furious in his heart: "There is Mu Changsheng, and now there is Chen Fei. They all like to play with formations and go against me."

Afterwards, Du Qiyou tried several times but failed to break the Seventh-Rank God-Slaying Formation. Finally, he faced the reality and chose to admit defeat.

"My fellow Daoist, you really have a good method. I have to admit that you are better than me." Du Qiyu clasped his fists and smiled, disguising himself very well.

However, Mu Changsheng already knew that Du Qiyou was a man who said one thing and meant another, so he simply replied, "You are too kind, fellow Daoist. I am just taking advantage of the formation."

In the following several competitions, Mu Changsheng continued to win battles one after another, until the last competition when he met Lin Yu. Mu Changsheng exposed a flaw and deliberately lost to the opponent. He was now using a fake identity. If he defeated Lin Yu, it would attract the attention of the world.

In this way, Mu Changsheng, Lin Yu and Du Qiyou obtained three places for cleansing in the late stage of tribulation.

The last spot for cleansing was auctioned at a high price of 193,000 top-grade spirit stones, which was distributed to everyone. This time the matter of the branch appearing in the world came to a temporary end.

Mu Changsheng himself, his black-clothed clone, and Yang Wuque have all started to cleanse their meridians, and they will be successful in a few days.

……

At the same time, Mu Changsheng's white-clothed clone, who was far away in the Tianshuang Realm, was still searching for opportunities and treasures with Ao Kun and others, and had already stepped into the South China Sea area.

But what Mu Changsheng didn't know was that two cultivators were quietly following them, and as soon as they entered the South China Sea, they suddenly attacked them.

"Someone is attacking us!" Ao Kun immediately gave the warning and used his own self-defense methods.

Mu Changsheng also hurriedly activated the Ming Guang Armor on his body. The opponent was able to approach them without anyone noticing, and they only noticed when the attack was approaching. This showed that the opponent's methods were extremely sophisticated, and using the Ming Guang Armor to deal with it was the safest way.

Mu Changsheng's judgment was correct, because the attacks of the two opponents were both directed at him, and the huge impact force knocked him hundreds of miles away. If he used the seventh-grade defensive formation for defense, he would definitely not be able to withstand these two attacks.

After the attack, the two attackers finally showed up. One of them was the white-robed monk who had attacked Mu Changsheng during the fight for the medium-sized spirit stone mine.

"It's you!" Mu Changsheng recognized the monk in white and was quite shocked.

"Hey, it's me. I didn't expect you are not dead yet. It seems that my prediction was correct. You are a big fish." The white-robed monk sneered, his face changed, revealing his true appearance.

"It turns out to be you." Mu Changsheng suddenly realized that the white-robed cultivator was none other than Bai Zhu, a demon cultivator whose Divine Sea Realm clone he had plotted to kill. Today he came to take revenge.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng looked at the black-robed monk next to Bai Zhu. The other person's face was blurry and he could not see clearly, but Mu Changsheng clearly felt from the previous attack that this black-robed monk was the real threat. The previous attack definitely reached the level of supernatural powers.

So, Mu Changsheng sent a message to Ao Kun and the other two: "These two are demon cultivators, quickly ask the dragon clan for help."

"A cultivator from the demon clan!" Ao Kun and the other two were all shocked. Knowing the stakes, they quickly asked for help from the higher-ups of the dragon clan through their clones or their real bodies.

"You bunch of evil dragon creatures, don't even think about escaping." Bai Zhu pointed at Ao Kun and the other two and sneered. He had already figured out the identities of Ao Kun and the other two. Today, not only did he want to take revenge on Mu Changsheng, he also wanted to kill Ao Kun and the other two.

As Bai Zhu was speaking, the black-robed monk beside him had already taken action. A large formation spanning thousands of miles trapped Mu Changsheng, Ao Kun and the other two, making it impossible for them to move.

Mu Changsheng quickly looked at the formation and recognized it: "This is the ninth-grade soul-sealing formation."

This is a typical trap that can prevent the opponent from escaping by some escape means.

Mu Changsheng secretly tried to activate the black bead teleportation array and received a response, which meant that Mu Changsheng could use the black bead to escape at any time.

After understanding this, Mu Changsheng was determined and was not in a hurry to escape. Firstly, once he left, the two demon cultivators would definitely shift their attack targets to Ao Kun and the other two. Secondly, he had already asked for help from Sect Master Xiao through his real body, and Gao Chong was on his way. He wanted to use the same trick again to delay the two demon cultivators, and wait until Gao Chong and the dragon clan strongman arrived, and then join forces to encircle and annihilate them.

"You demon cultivators are only capable of sneak attacks." Mu Changsheng said.

"Still want to delay time." Bai Zhu said sarcastically. He would not fall for the same trick twice: "In front of this gentleman, even if you want to delay time, it is impossible."

"I'll leave the three dragons to you. I'll deal with this guy." The black-robed monk gave the order. His identity needed to be kept secret, and he also wanted to end the battle quickly.

"Yes." Bai Zhu answered respectfully and immediately launched an attack on Ao Kun and the other two.

Ao Kun and the other two were of prominent backgrounds, and the protective items they carried were not ordinary, so they were able to temporarily block Bai Zhu's attack.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng secretly thought it was a pity. It seemed that delaying time was not possible. The only thing he could do now was to block a few more attacks from the black-robed monks and share some of the firepower for Ao Kun and the other two. Finally, if he really couldn't do it anymore, he would try to escape.

On the other side, the black-robed monk also took action. His first move activated the power of the Soul Sealing Array, which swept towards Mu Changsheng like an overwhelming force. Although the Soul Sealing Array was not an offensive formation, it was a ninth-grade formation after all. The power of the spiritual force impact alone was strong enough.

Mu Changsheng was a cultivator who was undergoing a tribulation, so naturally he had no power to resist and could only rely on the Ming Guang Armor for defense.

When Taoist Master Nan gave Mu Changsheng the Ming Guang Armor, she said that this armor was strong enough to withstand a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the Ninth Realm, and that it was unbreakable below the Ninth Realm. It turned out that she did not deceive Mu Changsheng. Under the defense of the Ming Guang Armor, although Mu Changsheng was hit hard and his body was scattered all over the place, he did not suffer any damage from the attacks.

As time passed slowly, the black-robed monk became more and more shocked by Mu Changsheng's bright armor. He knew that it was definitely not an ordinary armor and almost no one below the ninth level could break it!

Through a piece of armor, the black-robed monk could better understand that Mu Changsheng's identity was extraordinary and he was definitely not an ordinary disciple of the two major sects.

Suddenly, the black-robed monk removed the Soul Sealing Formation and ordered Bai Zhu: "Retreat!"

Bai Zhu had not been able to make any progress in his attack on Ao Kun and the other two. When he received the order to retreat, he was quite unwilling but he dared not disobey and quickly retreated with the black-robed monk.
