No hope for eternal life

Chapter 433: The Power of the Flesh

Elder Shen Gu smiled and said, "I know hundreds of seventh-grade talismans, and you only have two months. It's impossible for you to learn them all. I'd better pick a few that are useful to you first."

Mu Changsheng's face lit up when he heard this, and he quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you very much, Senior."

With Elder Shengu, a cultivator at the supernatural power level, advising him on the side, Mu Changsheng naturally could not refuse.

Just three days after Mu Changsheng followed Old Man Shengu to learn the seventh-grade talisman, a second spiritual vein branch appeared in the Tianshuang Realm. Fortunately, this branch appeared again in the human area.

Although this branch appeared in the western area and should have been distributed to cultivators below the Tribulation Realm, Xiao Niansheng spent millions of top-grade spirit stones and directly bought four places for the Tribulation Realm cultivators to practice, and these four places were naturally reserved for Mu Changsheng's two clones.

In this way, Mu Changsheng's two clones all broke through to the peak of tribulation within a month at a speed that outsiders could not imagine.

Of course, such a rapid breakthrough was not without cost. The top-grade spirit stones that Mu Changsheng had accumulated with great effort were all consumed when he was transcending the tribulation. Xiao Niansheng even provided Mu Changsheng with a large amount of top-grade spirit stones. Otherwise, the top-grade spirit stones that Mu Changsheng had stored before would have seemed insufficient.

Although he spent top-grade spirit stones like flowing water, the breakthrough in realm he gained in return was very real. Mu Changsheng no longer had to worry about his clone's cultivation not keeping up. At that time, Mu Changsheng could even command one of his clones to try out the power of the fifth level of thunder tribulation first.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the sect to select candidates to represent the human race in the competition. Just like last time, there were suddenly tens of thousands of foreign cultivators in Lingshan Sect, and these cultivators all took the initiative to participate in the selection.

In addition to the direct reward of 10,000 top-grade spirit stones to the successful candidate, one hundred top-grade spirit stones will be rewarded for each victory in the selection process. Although one hundred top-grade spirit stones are not too much for the cultivators in the God Transformation stage or the Tribulation Crossing stage, it is still very tempting for the cultivators below the God Transformation stage.

However, the method of this competition has been slightly changed compared to the last time. The disciples of the same level from the two major sects will compete together, and the remaining outside cultivators will compete together. Each side will select the strongest person of the same level, and the two sides will compete again to finally determine the places for the competition.

Thanks to Feng Rui's previous dispersion, the two major sects now have 18 cultivators at the peak of the tribulation level. In addition to veteran peak tribulation masters such as Mo Xingkui and Liu Zhicheng, there are also new generation peak tribulation masters such as Lin Yu, Ruan Xiong, and Du Qiyu.

The competition started very quickly. Just like the previous ones, it was a competition in an illusion, so both sides could fight freely.

Mu Changsheng's first opponent was one of the veteran tribulation-crossing peak cultivators of the Tianling Sect, named Ye Xincheng. In terms of strength and ranking, he was even higher than Mo Xingkui. In the last sect competition, he was ranked first among many tribulation-crossing peak cultivators, so this first competition was a tough battle for Mu Changsheng.

At the beginning of the competition, Ye Xincheng took the lead in attacking with a sword. He knew very well that Mu Changsheng's foundation was far superior to his. If he wanted to win, he had to use an unconventional approach with his sword.

Although fighting an enemy with a sword is not as fast as fighting with a flying sword through the air, it has more power and can better cope with various emergencies.

Upon seeing this, Mu Changsheng instantly understood Ye Xincheng's intention and immediately responded with the Seventh-Rank God-Slaying Formation.

However, Mu Changsheng also knew that a simple seventh-grade formation could not trap Ye Xincheng, so Mu Changsheng also appeared inside the God-Slaying Formation. He used the God-Slaying Formation only to restrict Ye Xincheng's actions. If he really wanted to defeat Ye Xincheng, he would need to do it himself.

Mu Changsheng has learned several seventh-grade talismans from Old Man Shengu over the past few days, but he has no intention of using them because it is difficult to hide this kind of public competition from the eyes and ears of the demon clan. He does not use talismans in order to keep more cards to make the demon clan still believe that he is good at body refining, talismans, formations and other means.

This time, Mu Changsheng intended to use body refining methods to fight the enemy. Mu Changsheng's body refining realm had been rising continuously as he transcended the tribulation, and because the power of the thunder tribulation he transcended was far beyond that of ordinary people, so although he was also practicing the Five Thunders Body Refining Secret Art, his body refining realm could no longer be measured by the peak of the tribulation.

Mu Changsheng has already tested it. With his current physical strength, he can withstand attacks from the Divine Sea Realm level without getting hurt!

At this moment, Mu Changsheng's physical body showed its power. Mu Changsheng's body was surrounded by lightning, and his speed increased suddenly. In a moment, his fist was in front of Ye Xincheng.

Ye Xincheng's pupils dilated greatly, and he thrust out the sword in his hand almost subconsciously.

As one of the strongest people in the sect who have reached the peak of tribulation, Ye Xincheng’s natal sword attack power is naturally quite powerful, and is definitely at the Divine Sea Realm level.

But Ye Xincheng's sword did not block Mu Changsheng's thunder fist at all. Instead, he was completely suppressed by Mu Changsheng in terms of strength. The punch almost bent the tip of his natal sword and smoothed the edges of the sword.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Xincheng himself was directly knocked away by Mu Changsheng's powerful force and could not control himself.

Mu Changsheng also seized this opportunity, using the Five Thunders to empower himself, and his thunder fists fell on Ye Xincheng like raindrops.

While flying backwards, Ye Xincheng controlled his natal sword to block several punches from a distance, but more punches fell on him!

After all, Ye Xincheng was not a physical cultivator, and his body was much weaker than Mu Changsheng's. As a result, Ye Xincheng's body and soul were instantly shattered.

However, Ye Xincheng's broken body and soul were quickly reconstructed by Taoist Master Xian in the illusion.

Ye Xincheng, defeated!

"Senior Brother Ye, thank you for letting me." Mu Changsheng said with a fist salute.

After being defeated by Mu Changsheng, Ye Xincheng was not discouraged. Instead, he praised Mu Changsheng and said, "The waves behind push the waves ahead. This has been the case since ancient times. Now that the spiritual energy is recovering, it is time for you to rise. Please go to a higher place and strengthen our sect."

Mu Changsheng clasped his fists solemnly and replied: "How dare I disobey."

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng won thirteen games in a row. The opponents he met in these thirteen games were not as good as Ye Xincheng, so it was natural for him to win easily.

Mu Changsheng's last three opponents happened to be people who had just reached the peak of tribulation like him, namely Du Qiyou, Lin Yu, and Ruan Xiong.

Facing Du Qiyu and Lin Yu, Mu Changsheng won easily again, but in the end Ruan Xiong had to force Mu Changsheng to be cautious.

The last time Mu Changsheng was defeated by Ruan Xiong, his cultivation level was one level lower. Now that they are at the same level, it is time to get back at him.

Moreover, Mu Changsheng was full of curiosity about Ruan Xiong. The secret technique that the other party practiced was not included in the sect's collection of secret techniques, but its power was extremely strong. Before, Mu Changsheng used various talismans and arrays to fight with Ruan Xiong from a distance, and he could not feel Ruan Xiong's methods personally. Now he can "learn from it" well.

"The competition begins." Taoist Master gave an order, and the final competition officially began, attracting a lot of attention. Ruan Xiong and Mu Changsheng were known as the twin stars of the sect. Before, they were in different realms and it was difficult to compare them, but now they were finally going to officially decide who was better.

Ruan Xiong did not rush to attack, but politely said to Mu Changsheng: "Junior Brother Mu, please attack. Now that you are at the same level as me, I am afraid I am no longer your opponent."

Mu Changsheng smiled and replied: "Brother, you are too modest. Please do not hold back. If I lose to you, I think the demon race will not be able to find a stronger opponent than you. This will be a blessing for our human race and our sect."
