A year later, the Chinese mainland, the Northern Regions. In the midst of the snow and pine forests, a small wooden house stands quietly surrounded by pine trees. The pine twilight snow is reflected in the poem.

At this time, a six-foot-tall young man was holding a short sword and was confronting the middle-aged man in front of him. The young man's skin was a healthy wheat color, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his shoulder-length black hair was casually draped behind his back. He was dressed in a white robe and black blue cloud boots. Look at the middle-aged man, seven feet tall, with a lion nose and a wide mouth, and beautiful sideburns. Holding a horn-shaped scimitar, the cold light flickered, and the murderous aura leaked out. The middle-aged man was wearing a gray robe, and the robe was embroidered with a four-horned sacred cow, which was lifelike, like a living thing.

These two people are Ling Yu and Zhu Huai, since Ling Yu saw Zhu Huai resist the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder with his own strength a year ago, he secretly swore that he must break into the Guiyuan Mirror before returning to Lingjiazhuang. Therefore, during this year, he practiced desperately like crazy. That diligent action made Zhu Huai feel ashamed. However, his gains were also enormous. After a year of hard practice, Ling Yu was now finally about to start her first tribulation since her cultivation. Ling Yu had taken countless exotic herbs when he was a child, and fortunately, the Xuanxing Pill opened up all the meridians in his body, more than doubling the meridians and dantian. After so many years of penance accumulation, his essence has accumulated to the peak. Zhu Huai also knew that if he didn't break through at this time, I was afraid that he would really explode and die.

"Xiao Yu, have you really thought about it? Three days later, will you be a little hasty?" Zhu Huai held a scimitar in his hand, with a worried face, and said with concern.

"Don't worry, senior, I've thought about it. In fact, I know in my heart that a person like me is already an outlier among all cultivators, and a person who usually practices martial arts and cultivates can break through the Guiyuan Mirror in five years and officially become a cultivator, but I have been precipitating for a full fourteen years. I have been waiting for this day for fourteen years. So, I'm going to give it a try anyway. Ling Yu looked at Zhu Huai, revealing a determined look. He knew that Zhu Huai was for his safety, but he really couldn't hold it back.

"Well, now that you've made up your mind, be careful, I'll fight you to your limits and bring out all the potential in you. Zhu Huai knew that Ling Yu's personality was like his grandfather, very stubborn. It's hard to change what you decide. Thinking of this, Zhu Huai held a scimitar in his hand and rushed forward.

Ling Yu saw Zhu Huai rushing over, and didn't dare to slack off. He held a short sword and fought with Zhu Huai. The two of you come and go, and the sword aura flies. The sky shimmered with blue and yellow brilliance, and even the surrounding snow left sword marks of different shades was a mess. The ravines all around make the vicinity of the wooden house full of devastation and shocking. Xiao Hei sat far away in front of the wooden house, quietly watching the two fight. In this year, Xiao Hei also had a breakthrough. Although he is still arguing with Zhu Huai every day, the relationship between the two is getting deeper and deeper. Zhu Huai also did not hesitate to tell Xiao Hei his feelings about cultivation, and even taught Xiao Hei a set of boxing techniques suitable for the cultivation of the bear clan. Xiao Hei is also a demon clan with excellent talents, and now he is already a cultivator of the Dacheng realm of the Shangyuan Realm, and there are faint signs of breaking through to the Zhongyuan Realm.

Although Ling Yu and the others were fighting, they didn't keep their hands, and even Xiao Hei, who was watching from the sidelines, was speechless. He knew in his heart that if he switched positions with Zhu Huai and let himself fight Ling Yu, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to win in a short time. Zhu Huai and Ling Yu were ruthless, and their knives were fatal. Although Zhu Huai was suppressing the realm, it was really cruel to Ling Yu, who had not yet been promoted to the Returning Yuan Mirror. But the miraculous thing is that Ling Yu can still compete with it, and there is no sign of defeat in a short period of time.

Over time, the two have unwittingly exchanged hundreds of rounds. Since the morning, it has been playing for more than two hours. Even Xiao Hei on the side was thinking that Ling Yu should not be a human race, his physical strength was excessive, and he was simply a humanoid beast.

In the end, with a crisp sound, Ling Yu's short sword was knocked away, and the battle finally came to an end. After the short sword was taken off, Ling Yu didn't care, his face was flat, there was no joy or sorrow. I saw him let out a long breath and sit on the snow. Beads of sweat ran down his long hair and down his cheeks, dripping down the snow. The hot air was like boiling water vapor, creating a mist in the warm sun. Although he was defeated, he was not discouraged at all. The realm was there, and with his cultivation, he could still hold out for nearly three hours under the full attack of Zhu Huai, and he was proud enough.

Xiao Hei took out two towels at the right time and threw them to Zhu Huai and Ling Yu. Then, he poured another cup of hot tea, stepped forward, and handed it to Ling Yu. Xiao Hei patted Ling Yu's shoulder, smiled and encouraged: "You are already very good, it is estimated that you will be able to catch up with me after another three or five years of cultivation, don't be discouraged." Actually, it's not a shame for you to lose to this old monster, he's so perverted, it's really beyond my expectations that you can hold on for so long. Come on, lad. ”

"Little Dog Bear, who do you say is the old monster? Why don't we compare and contrast again? Besides, why do you only pour water for Xiao Yu and not for me?" Although Zhu Huai was not sweating like Ling Yu, his face was flushed, and a trace of sweat also oozed from his forehead.

"I don't compare with you, this divine beast is now in Taoguang and obscurity, and it is not suitable to fight. Besides, Xiao Yuzi was exhausted, so I poured water for him. You're so energetic, you don't need me. Xiao Hei looked at Zhu Huai with a look of disdain.

"Okay, don't be poor with you. Xiao Yu, you should recover your strength now, and in the next three days, sit and meditate. After three days, we will give you the Dharma Protector and wait for your good news. Zhu Huai waved his hand at Xiao Hei, his face showed a grim expression, and said to Ling Yu seriously.

Ling Yu nodded lightly, and was supported by Xiao Hei and walked towards the wooden house. The three of them hastily ate lunch at noon, and in the afternoon, Ling Yu came to the wooden house. Find a relatively large stake, sit cross-legged on the stake, and start meditating.

And Xiao Hei and Zhu Huai also coincidentally guarded Ling Yu's side, silent, even though the conversation between the two of them was passed down through divine sense. They knew that this was a critical period before Ling Yu's breakthrough, and they must not be disturbed in any way.

In fact, meditating before breaking through is a must-do course for people in practice. Because before breaking through, the cultivator needs to completely abandon his distracting thoughts, and his mind is like water. Only in this way can we be more close to heaven and earth. For human cultivators, this method is called "cutting off one's own body", cutting off all of one's past and making it closer to the "Dao" hidden in the void. For the demon cultivators, it is called the "Rebirth Gate", and after several years of practice, just to promote to the extreme realm, after each tribulation, it will be reborn, as if it is reborn, so the demon clan is called the "Rebirth Gate". ”

The three-day period passed quietly in the snap of his fingers, Ling Yu sat and meditated here for three days, and Zhu Huai and Xiao Hei also silently guarded Ling Yu here for three days. No eating, no drinking, no sleep. They knew that this was Ling Yu's first time crossing the tribulation, so they had to be cautious.

Ling Yu slowly opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Hei and Zhu Huai in front of him, and then looked into the distance. The cedars are still the same, the morning sun is still the same, everything is the same as before. But Ling Yu knew that everything was no longer the same scenery as it had been for three days. The cedars are growing, and the rising sun is in reincarnation. All these seemingly eternal scenes are quietly changing every moment, but the unintentional people can't see them.

"Let's go. Ling Yu exhaled a breath of turbid breath lightly, slowly stood up, and said softly. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were deep, like a wise man who had lived for 10,000 years and experienced everything. Zhu Huai saw his state and nodded secretly. He knew that in these three days, Ling Yu must have had an extraordinary harvest.

Zhu Huai and Xiao Hei glanced at each other, nodded, and followed Ling Yu into the distance. None of the three of them spoke along the way, and what should have been said and what should have been instructed had already been said three days ago. If you talk about it now, it's just a repetition of what has been said before, and it makes no sense. Besides, looking at Ling Yu's state at this time, he must have already made a decision in his heart.

The three of them walked for nearly thirty miles, and Ling Yu didn't stop until there were no other creatures around. He did this for two main reasons, one was that he would cause great damage when he broke through, and he didn't want to hurt the weaker creatures. Second, the world is sinister, and people's hearts and beasts are unpredictable. I am afraid that he will be extremely weak during the tribulation, in order to prevent people with evil intentions from taking advantage of the weakness, so he will choose this deserted place. Although he is guarded by Xiao Hei and Zhu Huai, he is still very cautious.

Ling Yu stood still, nodded at Xiao Hei and Zhu Huai, and motioned for them to stay away. Zhu Huai and the two understood and quietly withdrew from the range of one mile. Zhu Huai held the falling array stone, kept wandering within a radius of one mile, carved a cumbersome formation pattern, and urged it with great mana. After doing this, he quietly stepped aside, scimitar in hand, and waited for the battle.

Ling Yu stretched his muscles and bones, his eyes closed slightly, silently feeling the Heaven and Earth Avenue that filled the void. After about a stick of incense, he suddenly opened his eyes, and two purple rays of light shot out from his eyes. Ling Yu let out a loud roar, and a wave of qi rippled out from the center of his body in all directions.

At the same time, the spirit of heaven and earth frantically surged towards Ling Yu. And the originally clear sky suddenly gave birth to a thick layer of black clouds, coming from all directions, enveloping Ling Yu below.

The dark clouds kept rolling, as if there were demons dancing in the clouds, and as if there were ghosts and monsters reveling. The black clouds swept towards the earth with gusts of yin wind, and Ling Yu's black hair was blown messy by this sudden yin wind and fluttered in the air. The black clouds are getting thicker and thicker, like thousands of troops and horses dressed in black armor, ready to go, and in an instant the day turns into night. Then, the dark clouds pressed towards Ling Yu, as if the clouds were within reach. Ling Yu looked up at the sky, a hint of domineering flashed in his eyes, and he was not afraid.

"Click!" A cyan divine thunder with a diameter of nearly three zhang thunder thundered towards Ling Yu with a sharp sound. That divine thunder was like a giant sword in the sky, with the coercion of destroying the world, enveloping Ling Yu in it.

"It's coming!" said to himself as he looked at the cyan lightning.
