Chapter 423: Chapter 290: The Power of One Slash

“It seems we’ve become the target for all,” Lu Qing said, holding the Origin Energy in his hand, gazing at the gathering of Innate Realm experts in front of him with a calm expression, yet feeling somewhat helpless in his heart.

This time, the Origin Energy had unexpectedly flown to their side, catching him off guard.

He had initially thought that he would need to fight to seize this opportunity.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity had actively sought them out.

However, this put Lu Qing in a difficult dilemma.

From the moment the white vortex appeared, he had felt that the rules between heaven and earth were evolving towards a stable state.

This had driven his desire to break through to a peak.

He had intended to take this opportunity to break through, but unexpectedly, the white vortex suddenly brought the Origin Energy directly to them.

Holding the Origin Energy, he felt the strong attraction emanating from it.

Lu Qing knew that once he absorbed it into his body, he would no longer be able to suppress his cultivation level and would immediately break through.

Postnatal Realm Martial Artists were at their weakest when breaking through to the Innate Realm.

The predatory-looking Innate Realm Experts in front of him would certainly not just stand by and watch him condense an Innate Body.

“Could this be my tribulation?” Lu Qing’s thoughts spun, and he came to a realization.

According to the records of the Li Huo Sect, during the Cultivation Era, those exceptionally powerful cultivators often had to endure fated tribulations to ascend and break through.

These tribulations could be natural disasters, human calamities, or even tests of their own moral integrity.

In essence, only those who endured various hardships were qualified to wield greater power.

Here he was, on the verge of a breakthrough, yet a group of Innate Realm Experts intended to snatch his opportunity.

Could this be considered a form of “human calamity”?

Just as Lu Qing’s enlightenment deepened, and his understanding of the cultivation path grew.

The Innate Realm experts on the opposing side had also regained their composure.

“What use is understanding the Innate Realm Intent if there are many of us? Even if he reached the Great Success Peak of the Innate Realm, he could be defeated; why should we fear an old man who has merely grasped a whiff of domain intent?”

“Right, old man, hurry up and hand over the opportunity with that kid next to you, or don’t blame us for being rude!”

Wang Cangyi even shouted, “Fellows, no need for further talk, let’s take them down directly!”

Over ten Innate Realms, most of whom were seasoned Innates of the Innate Realm Early Stage or higher.

The combined might bearing down on Lu Qing and his companions was terrifying; Hu Zezhi and Ma Gu, his disciple, showed signs of discomfort.

A single Innate Realm’s pressure was already unbearable for Postnatal Realm Martial Artists like them, let alone the combined pressure from so many Innate Realms.

However, at that moment, a gentle aura emanated from the elder doctor, blocking all the Innate pressure, alleviating the pressure on Ma Gu and his group.

“You do have some tricks up your sleeve, but old man, can you really hold off so many of us on your own?

Since you refuse to see reason, don’t blame us for being ruthless!

Everyone, let’s strike together, seize the opportunity first, and then discuss how to distribute it!”

The Innate Realms on the other side were taken aback.

But taken aback as they were, at this stage, they could not retreat.

And they were confident, no matter how formidable the elder doctor was, he could not withstand so many of them joining forces.

Immediately, ignoring any sense of morality, their momentum exploded, instantly they shattered the ground beneath their feet, and charged toward Lu Qing and his companions.

Among them, Wang Cangyi moved the fastest.

This Supreme Elder of the Sky Cang Sect had plotted in Cang County years ago and failed, all thanks to Lu Qing and the elder doctor.

In his heart, he harboured a deep hatred toward this mentor and disciple pair.

Seeing everyone attacking, he instantly exerted his movement technique to the utmost, getting ahead of everyone else, arriving in front of Lu Qing.

Wang Cangyi knew the elder doctor’s realm was profound, and after two years, it was unknown whether he had achieved any new breakthroughs.

Although he himself had secluded in his sect, diligently cultivating and successfully breaking through to the Innate Realm Early Stage over the past two years, he still wasn’t fully confident in defeating the elder doctor.

However, this young man in front of him was merely at the Muscle Bone Realm two years ago, and even if his talents were extraordinary, his cultivation couldn’t have advanced too far in just two years.

If he could kill this young man, he would not only avenge himself but also affect the elder doctor’s state of mind, achieving two ends with one means.

Other Innate Realms, seeing Wang Cangyi take action first, were not anxious but secretly pleased.

Since Wang Cangyi was willing to take the lead, they were naturally happy to let him.

In doing so, some even deliberately slowed their pace, allowing Wang Cangyi to first assess their opponents.

Thus, when Wang Cangyi arrived in front of Lu Qing, he was already slightly ahead of the others.

However, Wang Cangyi couldn’t care less about that.

His enemy was right before him, his eyes showing a cruel gleam, and his sword, channeling True Qi, thrust forward fiercely: “You little beast, die!”

Wang Cangyi had planned well, but just as his sword was about to pierce Lu Qing’s throat.

His mind suddenly sensed something amiss: “Wait, why isn’t this little guy showing any panic?”

Unfortunately, by the time this thought had risen in Wang Cangyi’s mind, it was already too late.

A dazzling Sword Light ignited in front of him.

The next instant, he felt as if his chest had been hammered by a siege ram, an unmatched power bursting forth from his chest.

In a moment, his ribcage collapsed, countless bones breaking.
