Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 161

Chapter 161 Self-Defense

Several Fusion Stage cultivators sneered complacently, pleased with Bai Hongtu’s performance.

That’s right, this is how the weak behave when facing the strong: fearful and trembling.

Unlike the Great Zhou, where the weak dared to sue the powerful, showing no respect for the strong.

As a powerful being, what was wrong with killing a few people?

They felt that the laws of the Great Zhou should be changed: one set of laws for those below the Nascent Soul stage, another set for those above. That was the right way.

“What? Kill you, of course,” one Fusion Stage cultivator kindly replied, a cold smile curling his lips. Watching these geniuses struggle and beg for mercy before their death was a beautiful thing.

“Why?” Bai Hongtu cried out in terror, but the four Fusion Stage cultivators had united to block their voices, making their cries useless. This only deepened Bai Hongtu’s despair. He was a gifted Nascent Soul stage cultivator, but it was impossible for him to straddle two major realms and defeat a Fusion Stage cultivator!

He had just made a name for himself, and the Great Zhou was destined to be his showcase. Next, he would travel the nine provinces, leaving his legacy in every land. How could he die before enjoying the good things of wealth, beauty, and power?

He refused to accept this fate!

He refused!

Even if it meant a mortal danger, he would break through!

I, Bai Tu, will defy fate today!

Bai Hongtu’s eyes were bloodshot, like a mad bull, and it was clear he was ready to fight tooth and nail, using techniques like the Burning Life Technique.

Yu Yin watched Bai Hongtu silently.

“Who’s to blame for your bad luck, choosing to come to this disgusting Great Zhou to attend some rubbish conference?” another Fusion Stage cultivator chimed in, clearly dissatisfied with the Great Zhou. “Remember this in your next life and don’t come to the Great Zhou again.”

“I’ll use the deaths of all these geniuses like you to slap the Great Zhou in the face!” This Fusion Stage cultivator’s love for the Great Zhou was deep in his bones. His own disciple had committed a capital crime in the Great Zhou and was executed there.

He cared little about his disciple’s life or death, but rather the loss of face he had suffered.

He roared, “I’ll show them that a Fusion Stage cultivator cannot be insulted!”

The Fusion Stage cultivators lost interest in the conversation and, having lost the desire to continue, decided to take action to avoid further complications.

“As agreed, leave this female cultivator to me.” The handsome Fusion Stage cultivator reached out and attacked Yu Yin.

The Fusion Stage cultivators, without a word, attacked one after another.

The pressure from the Fusion Stage cultivators grew heavier, gradually surpassing the Fusion Stage’s limits and entering the Tribulation Stage. The Tribulation Stage’s pressure enveloped the Tianzi Chamber… Wait, Tribulation Stage?

The four Fusion Stage cultivators realized that even though they were powerful, they weren’t strong enough to rival a Tribulation Stage cultivator together.

“Ah—”

the handsome Fusion Stage cultivator screamed, clutching his severed arm and stumbling back, staring at Yu Yin in horror.

Just as he was about to touch Yu Yin, he felt a piercing pain. Recovering,

he realized he was left with only one arm. Even more terrifying was that Fusion Stage cultivators could regenerate limbs, so this injury shouldn’t be a big deal for him. But his arm was completely disconnected from him, as if he had lost an arm in his soul!

This was a soul attack he couldn’t detect!

“Bai Hongtu, have you had enough?” Yu Yin said coldly. She felt a deep-seated dislike for this handsome Fusion Stage cultivator. The look in his eyes, which treated women as mere garments to be toyed with at will, reminded her of the former Crown Prince of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

Birds of a feather.

“Trip-Tribulation Stage, Bai Hongtu…”

The four men felt their mouths dry, their foreheads covered in beads of sweat, their hands and feet cold and stiff.

“Since Sect Master Bai has had enough, we won’t pretend anymore.” Li Er and Jian Jun removed their disguises, revealing their Tribulation Stage cultivation

, the awe-inspiring aspirations of countless cultivators. “Anyone who harbors evil thoughts about my master shall be executed!” The orange gourd floated in the air, brimming with anger. It was destined only to be trampled upon by its master, yet a scumbag Fusion Stage cultivator dared to entertain such thoughts.

“Four… Tribulation Stage… Ruyi Gourd…” Faced with unprecedented pressure, their minds sluggish, their thoughts struggling.

There were only five Tribulation Stage cultivators in the world, and here gathered four, along with a divine artifact.

This wasn’t just kicking a brick wall, it was running headfirst into a crematorium!

“This is the Great Zhou… You… You can’t kill us…”

One of the brave Fusion cultivators struggled to survive, hoping these four philandering cultivators would show some mercy and let him go.

Why would a Tribulation Crossing cultivator pretend to be a Nascent Soul cultivator for no reason?

These Fusion cultivators now yearned for the laws of the Great Zhou, hoping they would protect them.

They thought they were powerful and hoped the laws would be useless, but they forgot that they could be both strong and weak.

“After all, this is the territory of the Great Zhou. We should give Ji Zhi some respect,”

the Fusion cultivators said. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief after escaping death, Bai Hongtu continued.

“But we’re just a bunch of pitiful, helpless, and weak Nascent Soul cultivators. Facing an attack from a Fusion cultivator, self-defense is perfectly natural and not illegal.”

The four Fusion cultivators stared wide-eyed.

Ultimately, the handsome Fusion cultivator was slain by Yu Yin, and the remaining three were demoted to the Nascent Soul stage, unable to improve their cultivation or reclaim a new body.

These three men routinely bully fellow cultivators, relying on their advanced cultivation to maintain their rule and authority. Countless people secretly create straw men to kill them.

They don’t even have anyone they truly trust. If anyone knew they were only at the Nascent Soul stage, they would be torn apart, hacked to pieces, and chopped up to feed pigs!

They are destined to spend the rest of their lives in fear and hiding.

…

The shocking conspiracy against the Great Zhou was foiled in a small, top-level room without causing a stir. The conference proceeded smoothly.

The Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages shone brightly, leaving the audience rapt. You never know what new uses a spiritual treasure that generates spiritual intelligence might have. Many people in the first round had hidden their trump cards, only now revealing them.

Take the Luban Sect disciple, for example. Previously, he had used a puppet to battle the Wei family disciples, but this time, he brought out his harem and concubines.

The arena was suddenly ablaze with beautiful women, countless puppets, a truly captivating sight.

The opponent felt a heavy pressure. Was this the single Lu Ban sect, known for their lifelong pursuit of puppets? So envious.

“Participating monks are not permitted to use multiple spiritual treasures.” Before the match even began, the referee stopped the Lu Ban disciple. “You’ve violated the rules. I hereby order you to reclaim all but one…”

“Wait, how can this be a spiritual treasure?” The Lu Ban disciple, holding one of the puppets and pinching its lifelike face, exclaimed, “I forbid you from insulting their dignity. These are my wives and concubines.”

The Lu Ban sect’s puppets were meticulously crafted, and after developing intelligence, it became difficult to distinguish between human and puppet.

The puppet in the Lu Ban disciple’s arms resembled a shy young woman. Upon hearing her lover’s words of defense, she shyly buried her head in the disciple’s chest.

The referee paused for a moment, then continued, “…Participating monks are not permitted to recruit external aid. By recruiting multiple external aids, you have seriously violated the rules. You lose this match.”
