Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength-Chapter 523 - 384: But to do wrong, with a clear conscience

Spiritual Energy swirled around him, his state had never been so favorable.

The injured areas were being replenished, the whole world seemed polished anew, everything was so vivid, the world appeared entirely different in his eyes.

At this moment, he was the heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth were him.

A First Grade Golden Core, one of the ultimate achievements, and even within the First Grade Golden Cores, his was of the highest pinnacle.

Extending his hand, he could feel the rhythm of heaven and earth.

This was the feedback from the Heavenly Dao, but normally, those who achieve a Golden Pill of Achievement could not feel it, only those at the very pinnacle like Meng Yu could clearly reap the feedback of the Heavenly Dao.

Those Divine Thunders that had just struck down represented the will of heaven.

The current scene was somewhat similar to the Son of Heavenly Way's plan, Meng Yu felt dozens of Heavenly Dao whirling around him.

There was the invisible rhyme of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Should he choose any one of them, he would comprehend a Heavenly Dao, an opportunity that was immensely rare.

This rhyming was much more powerful than the Martial Arts True Intent; it was genuine Divine Skills, not merely comprehension, and any one could greatly enhance his strength.

Alas, it was not what he wanted most.

Transform, Sacrifice, Draw, Extinguish, the four derivations of the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber presented themselves before him, paths that would only emerge when the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber reached its extreme.

Meng Yu hesitated for a moment, then chose Transform!

The next moment, a spiritual melody rose, and the world seemed to tremble slightly, as some vast and magical power entered his body.

...

Elsewhere.

The Eternal Night Palace had endured a night of turmoil, with everyone on high alert at their posts, ready at a moment's notice.

Fatigue was of minor concern, for it was normal for Cultivators to go days or even months without rest, but this attack was different.

Previously, Mirror twelve had come to the Eternal Night Palace, provoking the Mountain Protection Array three times, slaying over twenty Golden Cores and hundreds of Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Eternal Night Palace, creating a host of widows and allowing everyone to truly witness the terror of a Spirit-Transforming Cultivator.

This time with a direct confrontation, Mirror twelve's slaughter led the Eternal Night Palace to abandon the ideas of field battles and stealth attacks, giving up tens of thousands of miles around—lands, kin, friends, and businesses of countless Cultivators.

Then, everyone, like cowards, cowered within the Mountain Gate, shivering, awaiting their final fate.

A person who loses spirit will think of other means, just as in the Southern Song dynasty, after crossing the river, they dared not make a move.

Many in the Eternal Night Palace had stayed stably within the Mountain Gate for months and no longer had thoughts of going out to battle.

Even if it meant leaving wives, children, and parents behind, unable to evacuate back to the palace.

This was why the Eldest Princess and others kept in contact with Meng Yu; they always needed to be informed of the situation outside, to let their subordinates know the whereabouts of their loved ones, and wouldn't it be good if they could resolve this peacefully?

Many truly did not wish to fight anymore, and perhaps Meng Yu didn't want to exterminate them all either?

Then, as Meng Yu made concessions over and over and promised various subsidies, an abnormal sentiment began to emerge within the Mountain Gate. For instance, some people expressed that Meng Yu was a good person, a lover of peace, and even if Meng Yu were to come to the Eternal Night Palace, he wouldn't immediately attack. They needed a complete Eternal Night Palace, and a negotiation was possible, including seeking greater benefits.

There was even the possibility of forming an alliance through marriage!

The thinking was splendid, as if they were strategists or princesses in storytelling who could turn the tide with a single word.

And then, the heavy punch came crashing down.

A night of siege, with the Mountain Gate showing cracks several times, the copious consumption of Spirit Stones, and, more importantly, Meng Yu broke his word!

He declared to wait three days for the Eternal Night Palace to surrender before attacking, but on the first day, he attacked.

At that moment, a sentiment arose within the Eternal Night Palace—how did the Eldest Princess negotiate, did she provoke him?

If it had happened before, the Eldest Princess or even the honored members would have simply obliterated these people, but now, they could only explain carefully, because the defense formation required enough manpower, and it wasn't the time for a hard stance!

The Eldest Princess hurriedly went online to contact Meng Yu, but found that Meng Yu had gone offline, was not online.

All sorts of news came through, and the Eldest Princess also received anonymous intelligence stating Meng Yu was in the midst of Core Formation, at such and such a location, telling them to quickly send someone to kill him, and so on.

But the Eldest Princess didn't believe it, neither did the rest of the Eternal Night Palace.

At a glance, it was obvious it was nonsense fabricated by fools, because there were many similar rumors, including the Eldest Princess receiving locations that covered all directions, east, west, south, north, and so on—over a dozen places—also including strife within the ranks of the Blood God Sect's Golden Cores, secret rendezvous of Meng Yu with a certain Golden Core, reinforcements from the Myriad Gold Pavilion arriving, and so forth, every kind of information.

Since the start of the battle between Meng Yu and the Eternal Night Palace, he had been bombarding everyone in the palace with announcements on the Ascension List!

Later on, many people came to the Ascension List; Meng Yu hired them for all sorts of phishing scams on the members of the Eternal Night Palace, and after he slept with girls and got their contact details, he would sell the information to those scammers, allowing them to flood their communications with various forms of junk, fakes and such, drowning their normal communications, preventing them from using the Ascension List for various intelligence operations!

Can you imagine opening your mail every day only to find thousands of fake emails from purported Nascent Soul True Monarchs suggesting cooperation and other scams?

As time ticked away minute by minute, it was finally deduced that Meng Yu might be in the midst of Core Formation, but it was already too late.
