Magical treasures are ultimately controlled by humans, therefore the outcome of true treasures clashing reflects the disparity in strength between their masters to some extent.
Even reaching the late stage of yuan ying, Huang Mei and Mo Mei are still far from being opponents for the Crimson Lizard Demon Lord.
Transitioning from late yuan ying to yuan ying perfection presents no bottleneck but is merely a matter of accumulating magical power. Although it seems like the two are just a step away from the divine transformation bottleneck, they are actually separated by vast mountains and rivers.
Firstly, one must raise their spiritual consciousness to at least a hundred, and secondly, they must gain the spiritual power to manipulate the earthly and heavenly spiritual energy.
Lastly, it takes painstaking effort to cultivate magical power to the perfection of yuan ying.
Each condition is extremely challenging for an ordinary true lord, highlighting the vast gap between true lords.
Of course, even if all three fundamental conditions are met, breaking through the divine transformation bottleneck is still a life-or-death struggle.
Otherwise, the exceptionally talented "Three True Lords and Five Demon Kings" would not remain stuck at the fourth stage for so long, hesitating to challenge the bottleneck.
In this regard, with Liu Yu having achieved the first two conditions for breaking through the divine transformation bottleneck, the gap between him and the "Three True Lords and Five Demon Kings" has become quite small.
The drawback is that his realm lags behind, but he has a significant advantage in terms of his Primordial Spirit.
He cultivates qi refinement, body refinement, and spirit refinement simultaneously. Although this consumes resources beyond what others can imagine, he does not exhibit any obvious weaknesses.
At this moment, as a fire attribute cultivator, if the "Azure Yang Devil Fire" is unleashed, it would be crushed, yet Liu Yu still possesses corresponding means to counter it, leaving no opportunities for adversaries.
"Whoosh—"
A fierce sound of wind erupted, and a black whip covered in barbs descended like a writhing giant serpent, carrying a terrifying power beyond the peak of the fourth stage, mercilessly striking down towards the location of the three.
Huang Mei and Mo Mei reacted quickly. However, despite employing various methods, they could not effectively defend against it.
In an instant, both frowned, and perhaps due to the mental impact, cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.
"Don't worry."
As the two comrades retreated, temporarily assisting from the side, Liu Yu prepared to face it head-on.
Just as the two struggled, a calm and steady voice reached their ears, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling the pressure surrounding them significantly ease.
Immediately, due to their long-standing trust, the two quickly dodged out of the black whip's attack range and continued to launch their own attacks.
They either summoned true treasures or unleashed divine abilities and spells, ignoring the Purgatory Demon Flame and black whip, directly targeting the main body.
Among the three, only Liu Yu remained in place, and in his silver-white pupils, the black whip resembling a ferocious serpent rapidly magnified.
"Whoosh—"
A gust of bloody wind mixed with the scent of fresh blood rushed past his robes.
An invisible aura, laden with malice, firmly locked onto Liu Yu, sealing off all escape routes.
Yet, his expression remained calm, his aura deep and immovable, like a mountain that could not be shaken, seemingly composed.
Unmoved like a mountain!
Just as the black whip drew within a hundred feet, and his two teammates secretly broke out in a sweat, a blinding azure light suddenly appeared, illuminating the surroundings and making it impossible to look directly at.
"Qingyang Nebula!!"
Liu Yu's shoulder moved, seemingly slow yet incredibly fast as he suddenly clenched his right fist, raising it to chest level.
Endless azure light surged forth!
