Chapter 978: You Forced Me

Just as Xu Nian expected, those Earth Immortal experts absolutely hated him at this moment.

If it weren’t for Xu Nian’s instigation, how could these Heavenly Tribulation stage people gather together and attack them?

"Little bastard, don’t let us catch you, or we’ll tear you limb from limb."

The Earth Immortal experts cursed in their hearts one by one.

Good cultivation interrupted, and they experienced a life-and-death struggle.

And they were besieged by a group of Transcendance Tribulation stage people.

Their old faces really didn’t know where to put themselves.

"Everyone, you’ve been used. Someone incited you to attack us, and while you were in battle, he was taking advantage of the chaos to break through his cultivation," said the Earth Immortal Peak powerhouse who had previously spoken.

Xu Nian’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

Not good, this old fox wants to use these people to kill me.

Return the Tao with its own way.

Indeed, as soon as the elderly man’s voice fell, everyone turned to look at Xu Nian.

This suddenly caused an uproar.

A few hours ago, Xu Nian was still at the Late-stage of Heavenly Phenomenon.

Now he has reached the Peak of Heavenly Phenomenon, which means he has been continuously cultivating these past few hours.

Instantly, eyes filled with killing intent locked onto Xu Nian.

Xu Nian only felt a chill down his back.

Upon looking up at the elder in the sky, he found the latter looking at him with a cold smile.

Xu Nian couldn’t help but secretly curse, fearing these Heavenly Tribulation stage people might chase him now.

Xue Fu stood within the crowd, looking at Xu Nian with sympathetic eyes.

At the same time, grateful she hadn’t gotten too close to this shooting star.

Otherwise, these hatreds might also involve her.

"This guy actually used us. While we’re here killing, he’s cultivating."

"This kind of person is simply shameless. We fight desperately, and he takes the opportunity to absorb Immortal Qi. If we don’t kill him, we would be letting down those deceased companions."

"Yes, kill him, this person is too shameless."

...

Angry roars resounded again among the crowd.

Each eye looking at Xu Nian resembled a fierce wolf’s.

Xu Nian’s scalp tingled, though he was powerful, he couldn’t withstand so many Heavenly Tribulation stage attacks.

Each of these Heavenly Tribulation stage people could cut him into pieces with a single blade.

"Old fox! This move is too ruthless," Xu Nian cursed in his heart.

If it weren’t for being outmatched by the Earth Immortal Peak in the sky, he would wish to rush up and slash him hundreds to thousands of times.

But now is not the time to consider these, survival is crucial.

"Everyone, I’m not deceiving you. Have you considered that without me gathering you, could you really step into this Heavenly Immortal Pond?" Xu Nian looked at the Heavenly Tribulation stage experts ready to strike and comforted them.

"Hmph, even if so, why did you secretly cultivate while we were battling?" someone in the crowd coldly snorted.

"I had no choice, think about it, I’m just a Heavenly Phenomenon realm, my strength is too weak. The opponent is an Earth Immortal realm expert, and even if I went up, I wouldn’t make any difference, so I thought to break through to the Heavenly Tribulation stage earlier to help you," Xu Nian said helplessly.

His expression was extremely sincere, and he intentionally sighed after speaking.

Those Heavenly Tribulation stage experts were also stunned.

Yes, this guy is just a Heavenly Phenomenon realm, going up wouldn’t even qualify him as cannon fodder.

Perhaps he really intended to break through first before participating in the battle.

For a moment, the Heavenly Tribulation stage experts hesitated—should they kill this kid now?

What if he was telling the truth and killed a good man by mistake?

Xu Nian saw that the Heavenly Tribulation stage people seemed to believe his words, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Fu also widened his eyes, looking incredulous.

Is this possible?

You’re Heavenly Phenomenon realm strength? Lying to ghosts, most of the Heavenly Tribulation stage people present are probably no match for you.

This is indeed true; Xu Nian had battled with her before without his breakthrough.

Now, Spirit Cultivation and Body Cultivation breakthroughs make his absolute strength even more terrifying.

But she didn’t expose Xu Nian’s thoughts since she had no grievance with him.

"Heavenly Phenomenon realm strength? Do you really believe he is at the Heavenly Phenomenon realm? Don’t forget he previously blocked an Early Stage Earth Immortal sword unharmed; how many of you can do that?"

Right when Xu Nian was silently praising his cleverness, the Earth Immortal Peak in the sky spoke again.

Xu Nian immediately felt his scalp tingle.

This old fox is incredibly cunning; he even remembered something Xu Nian himself had forgotten.

Indeed, as soon as the elder spoke, the Heavenly Tribulation stage individuals stared at Xu Nian fiercely, their eyes filled with killing intent.

Yes, that was indeed an Earth Immortal expert’s strike.

How could a Heavenly Phenomenon realm handle it?

"Kill him!"

Someone shouted from the crowd.

Each one was extremely furious.

Xu Nian’s heart was bitter; no matter what he says next, these people probably won’t believe it.

"Yes, I admit I used you, so what, do you still want to kill me?" Xu Nian looked at the Heavenly Tribulation stage experts in front of him and coldly smirked.

"Hmph, you’re still arrogant even at death’s door, do you really think you can resist us thirty thousand people?" someone coldly snorted among the Heavenly Tribulation stage.

"Why waste words, just kill him directly," someone impatiently said.

However, Xu Nian lightly smiled, facing everyone again, he said: "I advise you not to make a move, or you will all die, including these Earth Immortals among you."

The Heavenly Tribulation stage experts didn’t take Xu Nian’s words seriously.

However, the Earth Immortal elders in the sky felt a hint of unease.

Yet they didn’t know why.

With so many powerhouses here, could a Heavenly Phenomenon kid still threaten them?

Xue Fu’s pupils shrank, feeling something ominous.

Although she hadn’t known this shooting star long, from previous interactions, he definitely wasn’t someone who suffered losses.

If he could say such words, he likely had some formidable means.

"Retreat!"

Xue Fu immediately withdrew from the Heavenly Immortal Pond without hesitation.

"Hmph, this kid is feigning mystery, just kill him directly." Not everyone had Xue Fu’s intuition; someone coldly snorted within the crowd and then lunged at Xu Nian.

And many more lunged at him.

"You’re forcing me," Xu Nian coldly snorted.

After this, he activated "Dan Sea Species Green Lotus" to the extreme.

Just then, the Zifu that was only a step away from breakthrough underwent earth-shattering changes.

At this moment, Xu Nian stepped into the Heavenly Tribulation stage.

Simultaneously, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, directly locking onto him.

While locking onto him, everyone within the Heavenly Immortal Pond was locked by this heavenly pressure.

As they were too close to Xu Nian.

This stunned everyone, causing them to look up at the sky in horror.

Heavenly Tribulation?

Where did this Heavenly Tribulation come from?
