No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right?

In Wei Nation.

Not far away, Ye Ping was like a heavenly god while the Blood and Qi Furnace behind him was shining like a golden sun.

On the other hand, the Fiendcelestial Cult’s Devil Son seemed calm and ordinary, but that was also the reason that they somehow felt pressurized.

Fortunately, Ye Ping had tied with the other party, and none of them suffered any losses but no one had the upper hand either.

That was a good thing too as they at least wouldn’t be killed by the Devil Son like the few geniuses did before.

At this moment, everyone could not help but look at the battlefield.

It was a great battle between an elite of the Ten Nations and the Fiendcelestial Cult’s Devil Son, but it was also a great battle between the powerhouses of the Ten Nations and the Fiendcelestial Cult.

If Ye Ping won, he would be able to encourage and unite everyone.

However, if Ye Ping lost, the confidence of all cultivators would be crushed, and then the Fiendcelestial Cult would be even stronger.

Many were watching that battle intently.

All the cultivators in the array formation were watching the battle, keeping their eyes glued to it.

“You’re very strong and competent.”

The Devil Son said

He stared at Ye Ping calmly.

“Your abilities, strength, and talent are in fact not inferior to the other Devil Sons.”

“I can give you a chance to join us as long as you’re willing to.”

“I can guarantee that you will become a Devil Son. With extraordinary status and authority, you can easily obtain anything that you want.”

“Be it treasures, secret manuals, or Spirit Pills, you can get anything you want as long as you join the Fiendcelestial Cult.”

The Devil Son’s voice was compelling and tempting.

He looked at Ye Ping and offered this condition.

He seemed to admire Ye Ping and wanted to rope him in to join the Fiendcelestial Cult.

However, there were no changes in Ye Ping’s gaze.

Ye Ping’s gaze was calm but what he meant was simple.

He meant that it was impossible to join the Fiendcelestial Cult.

Ye Ping did not answer.

The Devil Son didn’t continue and was just waiting quietly for Ye Ping’s answer.

Time passed bit by bit.

Boom!

Above the dome of the sky.

Another ten colored mushroom clouds rose and the Teleportation Array failed again.

That made them feel hopeless and at a loss for words.

However, at this moment, the Devil Son said slowly.

“I have given you ample time to think about it but you didn’t answer me. Regardless of whether you’re still thinking about it or not, I’ve already considered that you’ve given up.”

“In that case, let it end.”

As his voice sounded, the Devil Son struck immediately.

He charged to the spot in front of Ye Ping and seemed rather invincible. He then used some Mystical Ability to shake the mountains with his fist.

Ye Ping charged towards the Devil Son fearlessly.

At this moment, the two of them were fighting hard and each punch of theirs destroyed countless buildings.

The great battle between them caused rays of light to cast all over the ground while they punched ferociously.

The Carefree Sword Kinesis Flight.

During the fierce battle, Ye Ping cast the Carefree Sword Kinesis Flight, which was a type of Sword Kinesis Flight that could enhance one’s physical body and allow one to fly faster.

In an instant, Ye Ping’s speed became faster than lightning as he appeared behind the Devil Son immediately.

Boom.

The True Dragon Fist landed on the back of the Devil Son like a huge mountain that suppressed it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The void trembled and the spine of the Devil Son was immediately crushed by Ye Ping. However, he was a ruthless person who turned over and struck Ye Ping in his chest.

However, at this moment, Ye Ping used the Carefree Sword Kinesis Flight again to turn his body and escape that blow, though he suffered a punch in his right shoulder that caused his shoulder to break.

The excruciating pain made Ye Ping couldn’t help but frown.

The Devil Son fell to the ground, smashing it and forming a deep crater that was dozens of meters deep. Ordinary cultivators would have already died.

No, even the elites and the cultivators in the array formation also somehow felt that they could not withstand the power of Ye Ping’s punch.

Besides, although Ye Ping was injured, he immediately used the Ancient Godfiend Body Tempering Technique to make the Qi and blood in his body boil. There was also roaring and his injuries immediately healed.

It was their first official exchange of blows.

Ye Ping had the upper hand.

That was a good thing.

The cultivators of the Ten Nations within the array formation couldn’t help but clench their fists, their eyes filled with excitement.

They were very agitated. After all, they had seen some hope.

However, the Devil Son, who had been punched and blown away by Ye Ping at the end of the street, couldn’t help but stand up at this moment.

The cultivators within the array formation could not help but swallow their saliva.

They had all suffered severe injuries, and yet they could still stand up, which was really surprising.

The black fog dissipated.

The Devil Son appeared, but at this moment, nine black talismans appeared behind him.

“Nine Talismans Devil Son?”

At this moment, someone screamed.

Someone recognized who this person was.

Except for a few who had appeared, no one else knew about the rest of the 108 Devil Sons of the Fiendcelestial Cult.

“Who’s the Nine Talismans Devil Son?”

“Yeah, who’s the Nine Talismans Devil Son?”

The crowd in array formation seemed rather curious as they didn’t know who the Nine Talismans Devil Son was.

“The Nine Talismans Devil Son is one of the 108 Devil Sons. He got his name because he had once invited a hidden powerhouse of the Heavenly Talisman Sect to carve nine heaven-suppressing talismans on his body.”

“Each talisman suppresses a portion of his strength. Legend has it that Nine Talismans Devil Son’s strength will increase greatly with the release of each Heaven Suppressing Talisman. If all nine are revealed, it will be incredible.”

A powerhouse who knew the origin of the Nine Talismans Devil Son couldn’t help but exclaim.

“What? Each time a Heaven Suppressing Talisman is uncovered, his strength will be doubled? If nine are uncovered, wouldn’t it be enhanced by nine times?”

“Nine times? Do you know how to count? How can it be nine times?”

“That’s not possible. He’s now at the Golden Core and his power is already terrifying. If this goes on, wouldn’t his power be invincible?”

They were discussing and finding it unbelievable.

“No, this is just an illusion.”

“Yes, it’s an illusion, the Nine Talismans Devil Son is said to have been famous in this world hundreds of years ago.”

“Ye Ping’s going to be in trouble this time.”

They were all discussing as they felt a great sense of pressure.

At this moment, in the black fog.

The Nine Talismans Devil Son was looking at Ye Ping calmly.

He nodded and said slowly, “You’re very strong, a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator might not be able to hurt me, but your talent surpasses mine. Unfortunately, I’m far stronger than you think.”

“I’ll give you a chance. I’ll show you my true strength next.”

“As long as you’re willing to join us, we can give you a way out.”

After being blasted away by Ye Ping, the Nine Talismans Devil Son wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he became more interested in Ye Ping.

He wanted Ye Ping to worship the Fiendcelestial Cult.

Hence, he was willing to give Ye Ping a second chance.

“You’re speaking too much nonsense.”

On the other side of the street, Ye Ping spoke coldly before striking in the next moment. The Golden Wheel of Expiation appeared. It was Ye Ping’s greatest killing weapon.

The Golden Wheel of Expiation turned into a golden oven that shook the void and made it tremble. Just like a huge sun, it was being held up by Ye Ping and charging towards the Nine Talismans Devil Son.

At this very moment, a Heaven Suppressing Talisman fell behind the head of the Nine Talismans Devil Son.

In an instant, a terrifying aura appeared. He had indeed become stronger, and in fact, his strength had multiplied and not increased by just a few percent.

Boom.

The massive sound of an explosion filled the air as the entire Wei Nation heard it.

The power that erupted when the golden Blood and Qi Furnace collided knocked down all the buildings within 500 meters.

Ye Ping’s Qi and blood rolled while his body buzzed. It was his ultimate strike that contained his full energy.

Besides, the Nine Talismans Devil Son also flew straight backwards, blasting the city wall into bits.

It was the city wall of the capital of the Wei Nation, not an ordinary wall. Even a Golden Core realm cultivator would not be able to shake it with all his might.

However, Ye Ping’s blow caused the Nine Talismans Devil Son to suffer a terrifying mark and that was proof of how terrifying Ye Ping’s physical body was.

There was yet another sound of something tearing and the Nine Talismans Devil Son uncovered the second Heaven Suppressing Talisman because he couldn’t resist the attack.

He was very strong and was indeed not inferior to a late-stage Golden Core realm cultivator. However, after uncovering the second Heaven Suppressing Talisman, he still hadn’t reached the Nascent Soul realm.

His true strength was at the Major Perfection of the Golden Core realm.

He did not want to cross more realms to defeat Ye Ping, but he suppressed his realm at the Golden Core in order to defeat Ye Ping.

At this moment, the power of the Nine Talismans Devil Son was even more terrifying than before.

The demonic aura surrounded him like a True Demon and the power of the Nine Talismans Devil Son doubled once again.

At this moment, Ye Ping also felt an unprecedented pressure.

“Ye Ping, come back quickly, you’re no match for him. The difference in realm is too great.”

“Yes, Ye Ping, don’t put on a brave front, return quickly.”

“Ye Ping, come back.”

At this moment, many cultivators within the array formation spoke up, including Huangfu Tianlong who hurriedly asked Ye Ping to go back.

The Nine Talismans Devil Son seemed to be a late-stage Golden Core realm cultivator, but now that he had uncovered two Heaven Suppressing Talismans, he was even more terrifying. His combat power was definitely not what Ye Ping could contend with.

However, Ye Ping did not choose to retreat at this moment.

He stared at the Nine Talismans Devil Son and the Qi and Blood True Dragon behind him was gilded with a layer of golden light, transforming into an expiated golden dragon.

“Kill!”

Ye Ping was fearless. The True Dragon Fist Technique charged towards the Nine Talismans Devil Son invincibly.

This terrifying attacking aura made Ye Ping seem like an invincible deity.

At this moment, the Nine Talismans Devil Son struck ruthlessly and a black war spear evolved in his hand. It seemed to have come from a powerful origin that gathered the essence of the Nine Talismans Devil Son.

Boom.

The strike of the black war spear was like an immortal spirit and a supreme immortal artifact as it pierced through the void and gathered the energy of the Nine Talismans Devil Son.

Ka-cha.

The black spear collided with the golden dragon, and sparks flew everywhere, leveling all the buildings within 150 kilometers into ashes. The ground was covered with debris.

However, the black war spear had already pierced through the Golden Dragon of Expiation.

Roar!

The Golden Dragon of Expiation roared.

Ye Ping flew out sideways after suffering an unparalleled blow.

The Devil Son was very strong.

He was really overpowering.

After uncovering two Heaven Suppressing Talismans, he was invincible.

The Nine Talismans Devil Son was a supreme elite in the first place and the fact that he fought with Ye Ping using the cultivation level of the Major Perfection of the Golden Core realm was unfair in the first place.

However, nothing was fair in this world.

Ye Ping was blasted away.

His body was numb and he could no longer feel any bit of pain.

Pfft.

Landing on the ground and forming a deep pit in the ground, Ye Ping couldn’t help but spit blood.

He knew that he had been defeated.

The difference between the two was too great and it was not a fair fight at all.

Indeed, he was still too weak.

In the middle of the deep pit, Ye Ping sighed.

In fact, he did not feel the slightest bit of fear at all. It wasn’t that he was afraid of dying but because he had already found out something.

To be more precise, he already understood what exactly happened.

Boom.

In the next moment, the Nine Talismans Devil Son appeared in front of Ye Ping, staring down at him calmly.

“You’re only at the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm, and yet you forced me to reveal two Heaven Suppressing Talismans. You’re indeed very powerful.”

“Unfortunately, you’ve already been defeated badly. However, it’s not an issue with your aptitude.”

“The difference between you and me is just too great. If you were the same age as me, you could have beaten me and been stronger than me.”

“However, you need a bigger place that can help you. Come on, join us.”

“As long as you are willing, I can help you so that you can truly become stronger and embark on your path to invincibility.”

The Nine Talismans Devil Son looked at Ye Ping, his calm gaze full of expectation.

In the past, he merely felt that Ye Ping was powerful and hoped that Ye Ping could join the Fiendcelestial Cult and become one of them.

However, things were different now. He truly admired Ye Ping and really wanted him to join. He admired talents.

Unfortunately, Ye Ping didn’t answer and simply looked at him quietly.

It was simple what he meant.

There was no way he could join the Fiendcelestial Cult.

“I know that you’re prejudiced against us, but there are many things you don’t understand because your world is too small.”

“Well, you can choose not to join us yet but you have to do so eventually. I’ll give you enough time to think about it, how about that?”

“This is the last time I’m going to ask you this. If you don’t agree, you won’t have any more chances.”

The Nine Talismans Devil Son continued.

He gave Ye Ping one last chance, and it was also the last time he was going to compromise.

Ye Ping could choose not to join the Fiendcelestial Cult now and he would give him enough time to consider.

However, Ye Ping had to go to the Fiendcelestial Cult, otherwise, he wouldn’t give Ye Ping a chance.

At this moment, everyone was silent.

After all, in this situation, not many people would refuse. No matter what, staying alive was the most important.

There were even some powerhouses who thought that they wouldn’t blame Ye Ping if he chose to defect.

The reason being, if they were in his place, they might have agreed long ago.

However, Ye Ping spoke up at this moment.

“We cultivators can fight.”

Ye Ping’s voice sounded again.

His voice was extremely calm too.

He was full of determination.

It was what Ye Ping felt from the bottom of his heart. The Fiendcelestial Cult’s actions could not be justified, regardless of the perspective.

They strengthened themselves by slaughtering the world’s living beings. No matter how open Ye Ping was, he couldn’t accept it.

Evil was evil.

Righteous was righteous.

“Such a pity.”

At this moment, the Nine Talismans Devil Son shook his head, and in the next moment, he threw a punch.

The light of his fist was invincible and the feeling of death struck him. Ye Ping was indeed a little scared as his body turned numb.

That was human instinct. No matter how high one’s realm was, they would feel such a sense of horror as long as they were alive.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of a terrifying explosion.

Ye Ping’s figure disappeared without a trace.

“Senior Brother Ye!”

Huangfu Tianlong, who was inside the array, had his eyes turned bloodshot and he stepped directly out of the array formation and charged towards the Nine Talismans Devil Son, completely disregarding everyone else.

At this moment, Ye Ping felt that his mind was clear.

A feeling of falling emerged within him.

He felt like he had fallen into a deep abyss that was 100,000 feet deep.

Besides, his consciousness was also dissipating bit by bit.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Ye Ping’s mind.

“Do you really… not regret?”

“If I give you one more chance, will you surrender?”

“Join the Fiendcelestial Cult, at least you can live to see the sun and moon, and this beautiful world.”

“You will possess supreme power and authority, with countless beauties around you. You really won’t regret?”

“Not even… a little bit?”

The voice in his head was extremely calm.

It was asking Ye Ping.

At this moment, Ye Ping’s consciousness was incomparably weakened, and he barely had the ability to think.

However, even so, Ye Ping gave a simple answer.

“No, I won’t regret.”

That was truly what Ye Ping meant from the bottom of his heart.

He did not regret it at all.

Not at all.

“Good, congratulations for passing the Heavenly Heart Illusory Array.”

However, at this moment, a pleasant voice sounded in his head.

At the next moment, a bright and gleaming white light appeared before him.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Ping’s body shuddered.

Soon, a straight main road appeared in front of Ye Ping.

There were many people standing on the main road.

Nangong Xing, Chen Hongfei, Zhang Ren, Huangfu Tianlong…

They were all on the main road.

All the cultivators on both sides of the main road all seemed really astonished as they stared at him.

There was also a portion of them whose eyes were glassed over.

A large ancient diagram appeared in the sky.

The scene in the ancient diagram was clearly the scene of the previous capital of Wei Nation.

“Indeed.”

Upon seeing this, Ye Ping couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

He had guessed correctly.

He had really been trapped in the illusory array.

Ye Ping felt really relieved. After all, he was not fully confident but he had now figured it all out.

However, at this moment, there were suddenly several explosions in the ancient diagram.

In the diagram, the Ten Thousand Fiend Banner was activated, and in an instant, infinite resentment enveloped the capital of Wei Nation. All the array formations completely malfunctioned and countless disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult rushed into the capital. A Nascent Soul realm powerhouse had been killed.

Geniuses had fallen one by one and there was an inexplicable massacre.

Immediately afterwards, a bright white light shone downwards.

At this moment, everyone snapped back to their senses.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me.”

“I surrender, I surrender.”

“Please, don’t kill me.”

There were numerous pleas for mercy.

When many of the cultivators snapped back to their senses, they could not help but voice their innermost thoughts.

However, at this moment…

Clang!

A clear and long sound of the bell filled the air.

At this moment, the entire capital of Wei Nation was silent.

Everyone calmed down.

Immediately afterwards, voices filled the air.

“The illusory array segment of the Ten Nations Grand Tournament is over.”

“All participating candidates, come here quickly.”

A voice sounded and everyone came to a sudden realization.

They were shocked.

No one would have imagined it.

It turned out to be an illusory array.

Indeed, no one could have imagined that everything that happened before…

They were all… just an illusory array.
