Just as all the cultivators were about to collapse, dark clouds surged in the sky, and a bolt of purple lightning struck down.
Boom!
The thunderous roar echoed throughout the Cang Ling Realm.
Everyone faintly sensed a hint of anger within the thunder.
The entire Cang Ling Realm seemed to tremble.
At this moment, Lu Daoyang finally welcomed his Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.
Even more shocking was that this Ascension Heavenly Tribulation was divided into several strands, directly striking down at various monsters, with only a small wisp of lightning hitting Lu Daoyang.
Luo Yunshi suspected that the Heavenly Dao was using this Ascension Heavenly Tribulation to kill these foreign monsters.
"Ahhhhh......"
The monsters' pained cries echoed from within the lightning tribulation.
Boom! Boom boom boom!
A total of nine by nine heavenly lightning bolts fell, directly reducing the monsters to ashes, leaving not a trace behind.
At the same time, Lu Daoyang's body slowly floated up. His clothes were slightly tattered, but he bore no injuries.
Everyone, like Luo Yunshi, believed that the Heavenly Dao had seized the opportunity to eliminate the monsters and had gone easy on the Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.
Heavenly Dao: This little Heavenly Dao intended to go easy! This little Heavenly Dao intended to seize the opportunity to strike down these wicked bastards.
Just as everyone worried if more monsters would appear from the gaping hole in the sky, seven-colored auspicious clouds appeared, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire opening. The opening gradually shrunk and finally vanished.
The sky cleared, and a spiritual energy rain fell upon the area below the battlefield. It was a rain devoid of any impurity, carrying a restorative power.
Lu Daoyang absorbed some of the spiritual energy rain, and the injured cultivators around him also recovered their wounds by absorbing it.
Subsequently, a golden beam of light descended from the sky. Lu Daoyang ascended higher and higher.
He swept his gaze over the cultivators below, and the corpses of those cultivators, a faint sadness in his eyes.
The cultivators looked at Lu Daoyang, their eyes involuntarily misting up.
Now that Lu Daoyang had become an immortal, he knew many things about this realm that he had been unaware of before.
It was about the Cang Ling Realm and his other, tragic, ending.
That ending was bleak.
Fairy Luo and Hao Yun Lai had not arrived in the Cang Ling Realm. This battle between good and evil would still occur soon.
Without Fairy Luo's reminder, without Hao Yun Lai's spirit-infused food, without Fairy Luo's protection, the disciples' preparations were insufficient compared to this time, leading to even more cultivator deaths.
Furthermore, when the Myriad Ghost Blood Fiend Array was activated, all cultivators had their spiritual energy, essence blood, and souls drained by Di Wu Ming, leading to their deaths. The ghosts in Di Wu Ming's hands remained mindless.
As for him, lacking the opportunity to train in Hao Yun Lai's simulation room, his state of mind had not improved at all, and his strength was not as high as it was now.
Without Luo Yunshi's reminder, when the monsters appeared, he had no chance to attempt ascension.
He would also have to fight a fierce battle against the monsters, and ultimately, lacking sufficient strength, he would self-destruct to save the other cultivators. However, his self-destruction offered limited help, and Di Wu Ming did not choose to self-destruct at the last moment.
The Cang Ling Realm would ultimately be occupied by monsters, leading to widespread suffering.
Lu Daoyang knew that this was real, perhaps something that had already happened, but it had been reset for some reason.
"Thank you, Fairy Luo. Without you, the entire Cang Ling Realm would have been destroyed."
"Ye Wang, and all of you, I will wait for you in the Immortal Realm. Always hold onto the righteous path, remember this."
Lu Daoyang looked gratefully at Luo Yunshi, bowed to her, gave the cultivators another reminder, and turned to enter the beam of light.
The beam of light gradually disappeared.
However, just as the beam of light was about to vanish, the sky suddenly emanated several golden beams of merit, shining upon Lu Daoyang, Luo Yunshi, and all the cultivators.
The largest portion of the merit light shone upon Luo Yunshi.
A thicker layer of merit light enveloped Luo Yunshi, and she felt a warmth spread through her body.
This was the Heavenly Dao's reward for all the cultivators who had fought for the Cang Ling Realm.
Seeing Lu Daoyang become an immortal, the cultivators' faces broke into smiles. However, seeing their friends, fellow disciples, and elders with whom they had once joked and bonded all dead, they felt a pang of sadness.
The cultivators who self-destructed were annihilated, their souls scattered, while those who were killed still had their souls that could reincarnate.
Despite their sorrow, the cultivators heard Lu Daoyang's words of gratitude towards Fairy Luo. And though they might not have known as much as Lu Daoyang, they could still deduce the consequences of Luo Yunshi's absence.
"Fairy Luo, thank you. We will always remember this."
"Thank you, Fairy Luo."
"Thank you, Fairy Luo!"
"......"
The cultivators respectfully bowed to Luo Yunshi.
"You're welcome, it was just a small effort. It's all fate."
Luo Yunshi said with a smile.
She hadn't expected things to unfold this way. She had merely intended to watch the excitement today, but the situation had escalated.
Despite performing a world-saving feat, Fairy Luo humbly called it a small effort. How could such a fairy not inspire respect, adoration, and reverence? They too should learn from Fairy Luo.
Unknowingly, Luo Yunshi had received another wave of faith power.
Luo Yunshi's words were etched into the hearts of the cultivators of the Cang Ling Realm.
After this battle, the evil cultivators in the Blood Fiend Pavilion were largely eradicated. Only one remnant evil cultivation organization remained in the Cang Ling Realm.
In the future, many righteous cultivators, after exterminating evil, would say: "You're welcome, it was just a small effort, it's all fate."
Due to the self-destruction of the evil cultivator Di Wu Ming, the Myriad Ghost Blood Fiend Array connected to him was also automatically destroyed.
The battlefield, due to the appearance of the opening and the leakage of immortal energy into the Cang Ling Realm, became lush with flourishing flora.
Furthermore, with Lu Daoyang's ascension, the spiritual energy in this area was purged of impurities, transforming it into the Cang Ling Realm's second pure land, aside from Hao Yun Lai.
In the future, the largest town in the Cang Ling Realm would also form here, named Da Dao City.
Da Dao City signified that cultivators here pursued the Great Dao and ascended, and it also served as a memorial to the cultivators who pursued the Great Dao and died in this great battle.
Of course, all this was a story for later.
At this moment, after bidding farewell to Luo Yunshi, the cultivators began to clear the battlefield.
Lu Tianhe and others gathered all the ghosts, intending to send them to the underworld of this realm.
Their merits and demerits would be judged by the officials of the underworld, and the cultivators did not need to handle them.
Luo Yunshi watched with curiosity, thinking that perhaps she could learn something.
She saw Lu Tianhe draw a talisman in the air.
A golden talisman instantly materialized in the sky.
The next moment, a majestic ancient gate exuding Yin energy appeared before them. The words "幽冥地府" (You Ming Di Fu) were inscribed above the gate, with large lanterns hanging on either side, as if guiding lost souls to the underworld.
Creak!
The underworld gate slowly opened. All sorts of ghost cries emanated from within, accompanied by a denser Yin energy. It was pitch black inside, with only a gray path clearly visible in the center.
Luo Yunshi's mind raced with a million thoughts. She was actually so close to the underworld!
