After hearing that, Huang Lingzhu became deeply engrossed in her thoughts, ensuring that none of them disturbed her, particularly because she disliked it when others interfered with her concentration. Moments later, she turned to them and ordered the young man to sit on a cloud. “Yun Xian, I want you to go down to the tower to protect Ling Yun, but you will only act if he is in a dire situation. After all, Zhu Ling is too strong for the current him, and we cannot lose him, or this universe will be swallowed up by chaos. However, you don’t need to care about the people around him, especially since they are useless to us, and it doesn’t matter if mortals like them die.”

“Are you really going to let them die?” Sheng Ming, the god of life, asked Huang Lingzhu with a serious look. “We all know that Ling Yun cares deeply about the people around him, so I’m sure he will oppose us if we let them die, and your efforts over the past years will be in vain. Moreover, we don’t have much time because the chaos continues to expand with every second that passes, and it has begun to engulf the outskirts of this universe, so he is our final card to stop it.”

“I agree with her, Huang Lingzhu.” A young woman with long white hair and eyes covered with a white cloth also spoke to her. “Those women may be mortals, but they are the foundation of Ling Yun’s strength, and he continues to strive to become strong in order to protect them. That’s why we can’t let them die, or he will collapse because his foundation collapses, and all living creatures in this universe will suffer the loss.”

*Bam*

A man wearing battle armor suddenly smashed his guandao onto the ground, and his appearance was like that of an ancient war general with a tall, burly body, making Huang Lingzhu and the others turn to him with raised eyebrows. “I, Xing Jiangjun, have never liked to interfere in the affairs of mortals before. However, the impact of the danger was too great, so I was forced to step in to protect the people around Ling Yun, especially since our universe’s hope rests on his shoulders, and I hope you don’t stop me.”

“I will also go down to the tower with Jiangjun and Yun Xian.” A young woman sitting on a white flying lotus suddenly spoke to them, and her beauty was only slightly inferior compared to Sheng Ming’s.

“It’s unusual for you to want to leave this place, Hua Xianren.”

“Ha ha.” Hua Xianren laughed softly and nodded to that person. “You’re right, Shen Ying. However, we don’t yet know the future of our universe, especially since Ling Yun still won’t necessarily succeed in dealing with the chaos. Even though we are immortals, the chaos is completely different, and we will still die if it swallows us, so I want to go down to the tower to enjoy the remaining time, which may not be much.”

After hearing Hua Xianren’s words, the other immortals let out heavy sighs, feeling helpless against the chaos and placing their hopes in Ling Yun. Even so, they had doubts in their hearts that he would be able to save their universe, especially since his level was still too far below that of the Primordial Chaos Dragon.

Unlike them, Huang Lingzhu completely trusted Ling Yun, but her trust was not because of him; it was because she believed in the Primordial Chaos Dragon’s abilities as the only creature born from chaos. “All right, the three of you can go down to the tower to protect them, but I strictly forbid you from interfering in their training, and I will immediately pull you back here if you do that.”

Before disappearing from their sight, the three people nodded to Huang Lingzhu, who then spoke to Shiwang Zhizhu. “I want you to go down to the tower as well, but your job is to help the female demons by Ling Yun’s side, especially Lillith, and you have to arrange it indirectly.”

“Those four female demons, huh?” Shiwang Zhizhu muttered to himself before nodding and disappearing from their sight.

After that, Huang Lingzhu asked everyone else to return to their respective places, except for Sheng Ming, who remained standing beside her while observing Ling Yun, who was still in the process of breaking through to the Lower Venerate Realm through the Qi screen in front of them.

However, Sheng Ming’s expression changed slightly when she saw Ling Yun’s devil soul hovering above him, and his aura also grew stronger. “Hey, Lingzhu, aren’t you concerned about his devil soul? After all, Long Hun is not a devil, but this kid seems to prefer the devil’s path, and his complete dragon form is similar to a devil.”

“Honestly, I’m afraid of his devil soul, and I’m also worried that he will become a devil dragon after he gets all of Long Hun’s body parts.” Huang Lingzhu then let out a heavy sigh as she looked up at the sky. “Back then, the man who came from another universe told me many things about our universe’s mysteries, many of which were about Ling Yun. Initially, I didn’t believe his stories, but he then challenged me to a fight to prove everything, and you definitely still remember the results of our fight. I am Time, and I am the strongest among us, but I still lost badly to him.”

“How could I forget that? That guy was not immortal like us, but he was too powerful.” Sheng Ming then turned to Huang Lingzhu. “He possesses numerous extraordinary abilities that counter all your time-control abilities, leaving you unable to move even an inch under the pressure of his aura. In fact, we are deeply horrified by his abilities, and we feel as though we are on the verge of our demise.

“Yeah.” Huang Lingzhu then spoke to Sheng Ming again. “After that, I chose to believe in all of that man’s stories, and half of his stories had already come true, so I decided to kill Long Hun. Besides, I also decided to use Luxuria and send her to Ling Yun, especially since she was the only one who could carry out the task.”

Sheng Ming released a heavy sigh at that. “What do you think would happen if Luxuria found out that all her suffering was your doing?”

“I don’t know.” Huang Lingzhu replied by shaking her head. “I have indeed made many mistakes against Luxuria, but I did everything for the sake of this universe and all its inhabitants. Once we save this universe, I will go to see her to confess everything, and I will accept her decisions. Even if she wants to kill me, I will gladly accept it.”

Sheng Ming chose not to comment on the matter, especially because she knew that Huang Lingzhu had already prepared a lot of things after she decided to kill Long Hun.

Huang Lingzhu suddenly waved her hand, and the Qi screen disappeared. She immediately flew away, leaving Sheng Ming behind.

Due to Ling Yun’s breakthrough, the atmosphere in the tower was very noisy for several hours, and hundreds of white lightning dragons continued to rain down on his location. Even though those people managed to pinpoint his location based on the lightning attack, none of them were able to see the source directly, especially since they couldn’t see him thanks to Zhou Yu’s void walls. Only the female disciples of the Eternal Spring Palace and the demihumans of the Burial Realm knew the source.

Even all the unique beasts in the tower did not dare to move from their spot, and all of them cowered in fear because Ling Yun’s chaos dragon aura spread throughout the first floor of the tower.

Just like when Ling Yun broke through to the Peak Saint Realm, the attacks of hundreds of white lightning dragons did not have a significant impact on him, which made the heavens even more frustrated.

“Hmm?” Ling Xi looked up into the sky after she sensed that Ling Yun’s lightning tribulation was starting to wane, and that meant she would soon complete her breakthrough. “Hehe. After they failed over and over again, they seemed to be starting to give up on killing him.”

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement with that. “However, they still have two chances to kill Ling Yun. The first is when he breaks through to the five god realms, and the second is when he breaks through to the three immortal realms in the future. If they fail to kill him on those two occasions, then they won’t have another chance to do it.”

“No.” Ling Xi immediately denied that. “Ling Yun will likely only break through to the five god realms after he completes this tower, which means he has already obtained another body part of the old dragon. I hope that item is his dragon core or bone marrow, especially since both will be more beneficial to him than his dragon eyes, so the heavens won’t have another chance to kill him.”

After that, the two spirit women waited in silence, but they had to wait a very long time because Ling Yun only completed his breakthrough after another day.

Ding

You have broken through to the Lower Venerate Realm.
