Chapter 1051: Since You Have Seen This King, Why Do You Not Bow?
The best opportunity to advance to divine transformation had arrived. If this was truly heaven's will, how could Liu Yu possibly avoid it?
After all, heaven's will was supreme.
Even a sixth-stage powerhouse like the "unmelting ice" had been reduced to a puppet on strings; how could a mere yuan ying true lord like him possibly escape?
When one was weak, one had to bide one's time. Otherwise, who knew what "accidents" might occur.
Besides, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. That had been his realization over all these years.
The current obstacle was both a calamity and an opportunity.
If he could get through it, Liu Yu would rise to the next level!
Moreover, could he really retreat?
If he withdrew now, the consequences would be severe. The territory of the Orthodox and Demonic Territory was only that large, and all the spiritual veins already had owners.
Finding a suitable spiritual land was no easy task.
The spiritual vein at Heavenly Peak had already reached fourth-tier high quality. Combined with a massive consumption of top-grade spiritual stones, it was more than enough to support a breakthrough from yuan ying to divine transformation.
As for cultivation after that, he could worry about it once he had successfully advanced.
By then, as a divine sovereign, one of the top few experts in the Purple Morning Realm, and with the spiritual treasure sword of ruin in hand, would he still fear not finding a suitable place to cultivate?
If this truly was arranged by heaven, then the black flood dragon king was also part of the divine transformation tribulation—what could be called a "human tribulation."
He had to defeat the human tribulation before the best "opportunity" would arrive.
Leaving aside his own strength for the moment—
Even if the black flood dragon king was strong, Liu's sword of ruin was not necessarily weak!
A spiritual treasure was also part of one's own strength. Liu Yu was not a rigid person who insisted on talking about "fairness" and "justice" in everything. At crucial moments, if he needed to use it, then he would use it.
Of course, it would be best if he could defeat the enemy with his own strength.
He cultivated all three paths, and with the assistance of the Immortal Abode, he had consumed vast resources. Seventy years had passed, and his strength had improved again.
Although he had not yet begun his assault on divine transformation, compared to the battle at Five Elements Pass, he was no longer on the same level.
He also wanted to test just how formidable the so-called strongest demonic king really was!
If something unexpected happened, he would immediately activate the sword of ruin...
With a spiritual treasure in hand and his three-path cultivation giving him boundless magical power, what was there to fear from the black flood dragon king?
As Liu Yu's cultivation and realm grew higher, his understanding of spiritual energy and spiritual power became increasingly profound.
In the Immortal Abode world, he could consume a massive amount of spiritual stones and turn them into spiritual power, using it as the energy source to activate the sword of ruin.
At this moment, without consuming his own magical power, this sword could already launch ten attacks.
Against a divine sovereign, that might not be enough.
But against beings at the fourth stage, it could be said to be a matter of easy capture.
"You can't possibly win?"
"I don't understand."
In those casually spoken words was a confidence bordering on invincibility.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Kai's expression froze, shocked by that overwhelming confidence.
But with the situation so urgent, he quickly came back to his senses and said anxiously:
"Senior Brother Qingyang, what are you thinking?"
"This concerns the survival of the sect. This is not the time to be stubborn!"
"Even if Senior Brother can contend with the black flood dragon king, it won't mean anything."
"Even Heavenly Thunder Palace has already retreated and is now on the way to the Orthodox and Demonic Territory."
