Bang! Bang! Bang!
Du Jingsong's chunks of flesh slamd directly into the light barrier, only a centiter away from Xu Ning, yet they seed worlds apart, unable to advance an inch.
This was a spirit-trapping formation that Xu Ning had set up long ago.
To be honest, with all the items Xu Ning currently possessed, killing that old bastard Du Jingsong would be far too easy.
Simply setting up the formation would render him powerless to resist.
The reason he still chose to confront him head-on was to test his own strength and gain self-awareness.
The test results were acceptable, but Xu Ning wouldn't consider himself invincible because of it.
After all, what was Du Jingsong anyway? Just an ordinary Foundation Establishnt cultivator, not even a mid-grade one. Among Foundation Establishnt cultivators, he was among the worst.
The cultivation world was vast; so were lucky enough to achieve high-grade or even top-grade Foundation Establishnt.
Those were the top combatants in the Foundation Establishnt stage.
Xu Ning recalled Gu Mu from decades ago, who had achieved legendary Foundation Establishnt.
At the ti, Xu Ning hadn't paid much attention to how Gu Mu had overco his tribulation, only hearing about it later from Luo Xiu.
When Gu Mu achieved legendary Foundation Establishnt, he had wiped out dozens of Foundation Establishnt demonic cultivators chasing him, even driving away a Golden Core demonic cultivator.
Soone like Gu Mu was a true prodigy, invincible.
Yes, his master must have been incredibly powerful.
At this mont, the spiritual energy on Du Jingsong's corpse finally dissipated, and it fell to the ground.
Xu Ning waved his hand, dispelling the array's light barrier in front of him, then ford a hand seal and released the Soul Refining Technique.
For an enemy like this, with whom he was determined to fight to the death, Xu Ning couldn't afford not to use the Soul Refining Technique. He had to nip all possibilities in the bud.
Blood gushed out, enveloping Du Jingsong's corpse. After a long while, a soul resembling Du Jingsong condensed, finally becoming a complete soul.
Xu Ning patted his storage bag again, took out the Soul Refining Banner, summoned a demonic soul, and devoured Du Jingsong, completely eliminating any possibility of retaliation.
After storing the array and Du Jingsong's storage bag, Xu Ning leaped onto the Yingying Monster and flew towards the Immortal Cultivation Mountain Range.
Later, Xu Ning still encountered many unexpected events, but thanks to his and the Yingying Monster's strength, coupled with his continuous use of the Sky-Gazing Technique, he finally managed to return to the Qingdong Mountain Range with great difficulty.
Landing on the mountainside, Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
No wonder, no wonder no cultivator dared to participate in mortal affairs. The divine retribution was too terrifying.

With Xu Ning's current strength and so many thods, it was still extrely dangerous. If it were any other cultivator, they would have died countless tis already.
"Thatched hut, why is the Heavenly Punishnt so terrifying?" Xu Ning couldn't help but ask curiously.
The thatched hut replied, "I don't know the specifics, but I can vaguely sense that it's a rule extended by the Heavenly Dao to maintain so kind of order!"
Xu Ning was surprised, raised his hand to brush away a clump of bird droppings that fell down, and then said, "Is it protecting mortals?"
The thatched hut said, "The Heavenly Dao is ruthless. How could it protect mortals! So of the Heavenly Dao's order is influenced by sothing and extends outwards!"
"However, this order does protect mortals, but its purpose isn't really to protect mortals. It seems to be for other purposes!"
Xu Ning said, "Who knows! When I beco stronger in the future, I will naturally know!"
For the next period of ti, Xu Ning really suffered. He would choke when drinking water, and all sorts of unexpected events always ca his way, tornting him to no end.
Fortunately, he was no longer in the mortal realm, and the Heavenly Punishnt had been weakened a lot, so no major crisis occurred.
A dozen days later, as a ray of sunlight shone on the earth, Xu Ning stepped out of his thatched hut, letting out a huge sigh of relief.
He had finally survived this divine tribulation. It was a close call indeed.
To prevent any unforeseen events, after returning to the cultivation world, Xu Ning found a secluded spot, set up layers of arrays, released various items, and had Tie Dan and Yingying Monster patrol at all tis, maintaining extre vigilance.
Xu Ning didn't rush to leave, staying in the sa place for a few more days. Only after confirming that the divine tribulation had truly passed did he pack his things and continue his travels.
Next, Xu Ning visited many places and t several disciples.
In the blink of an eye, more than ninety years had passed.
One day, Xu Ning arrived at a deserted desert in the mortal realm. This was a forbidden zone. Ordinary mortals dared not enter, because those who entered rarely returned.
At a small lake, Xu Ning stopped.
"This will do!"
After searching for decades, Xu Ning had finally found a suitable place to undergo tribulation.
Indeed, Xu Ning planned to establish his foundation and undergo tribulation here.
After releasing the thatched hut, Xu Ning began setting up the array.
Tie Dan ran out, rolling and tumbling across the endless sand, leaving marks in its wake.
The Yingying Monster instantly unfurled, soaring into the sky and obscuring half the heavens.
Of course, there were still several years before his tribulation, so Xu Ning would stay here temporarily.
For future convenience, Xu Ning began planting trees along the lake and leveling them up to increase their survival rate.
In the following days, besides his usual alchemy, Xu Ning would travel to distant places to undergo his tribulation.
The materials for many remaining items were all prepared. After the tribulation, they could be used to upgrade items that hadn't yet reached the divine grade.
The first items to be upgraded to Divine Grade for the Tribulation were various talismans.
Six types of talismans: Fire and Thunder Talismans, Defense Talismans, Acceleration Talismans, Attack Talismans, and the remaining two sets of Communication Talismans.
Then, the Four Treasures of the Study were also upgraded to Divine Grade.
As for the remaining one hundred Spirit-grade Legendary quality spirit fields, Xu Ning felt he could hold off on upgrading them for now, wanting to try and break through to Legendary Alchemist status one last ti.
If he failed, he would have to wait until he reached the Yuan level to try again.
After upgrading all the items to Divine Grade for the Tribulation, Xu Ning began to imrse himself completely in alchemy.
In his spare ti, Xu Ning would continuously practice the Nine Forms of Asking the Divine.
Xu Ning had been practicing this technique for a long ti, but he hadn't seen much change.
However, Xu Ning knew that his divine sense had been continuously strengthening, though he didn't know to what extent.
But one thing was certain: the strengthening of his divine sense would greatly help Xu Ning in the future.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
He had already collected all the Spirit-grade Divine Quality Qi Gathering Pills.
Xu Ning hadn't yet reached the Foundation Establishnt stage because he sensed the legendary opportunity to beco a pill refiner several years ago.
This was why he hadn't begun his Foundation Establishnt journey, focusing instead on refining pills for three whole years.
The iron pot floated above the lantern, its large, black bottom constantly scorched by the lantern's flas.
Xu Ning sat on a futon, continuously adding spiritual herbs to the pot.
He had been refining this legendary Qi Gathering Pill for over two hundred years, and each ti he refined it, Xu Ning paid it his utmost attention.
However…
