Chapter 297 Beheading
Fortunately, Zhou Yang's soul realm had already reached the middle stage of Void and the chaotic scenes in his mind only lasted for a moment before he suppressed them with his powerful ring of soul power.

However, just this moment of distraction was enough to put him in an extremely passive situation!

Boom!

The extremely thin blue-black lightning that contained endless terrifying power first struck the top-grade spiritual weapon dagger in his hand. Due to Zhou Yang's distraction, the power of the top-grade spiritual weapon dagger dissipated, only offsetting less than 20% of the power of the heavenly thunder.

Afterwards, the blue-black light, which still contained endless terrifying power, struck Zhou Yang directly on the head when he was completely unprepared!

You know, even if you really use your physical body to resist the thunder, you will never use your head directly to resist it.

The moment Zhou Yang was struck by the blue-black lightning, he had only one feeling——

Dizziness! There was a buzzing sound in his head, almost making him fall into a coma!

His body was inevitably damaged. The skin of his head, face, and even his entire body was burned and damaged by the blazing lightning. Even the muscles inside turned black, and even cracks appeared on his skull.
Fortunately, while his body was severely injured, mysterious clear streams continued to emerge from inside his body and began to quickly recover the damage.

The cracks on the skull and the burns on the muscles and skin all over the body began to recover rapidly under the nourishment of this mysterious clear stream.

That was the effect of the 'Nine Tribulations Creation Pill' sealed in his body beginning to take effect. One 'Nine Tribulations Creation Pill' was enough to instantly restore a seriously injured and dying Ten Tribulations Loose Immortal to health. For Zhou Yang at this stage, it was like a 'magic pill'.

In just a breath, the injuries on Zhou Yang's body were almost completely healed.

Although the injury that had just recovered was torn apart again by the aftermath of the sixth heavenly thunder, the continuous recovery of the effect of the Nine Tribulations Creation Pill was no longer enough to pose a fatal threat to him.

In this process of being destroyed and restored again and again, Zhou Yang's body was rapidly transforming and becoming stronger and stronger.

Even after he regained consciousness, he took the initiative to draw heavenly thunder into his body to temper every inch of flesh, bone, and every cell in his body, making the transformation even more violent.

But after all, the sixth heavenly thunder only lasted for a moment, and the tempering and transformation of the physical body was soon over.

"Huhuhu~~~"

After just a few breaths, all the lightning completely dissipated, and even the thick clouds that originally covered the entire sky had long since disappeared, and the sky became clear again.

And in Zhou Yang's Dantian space, when the golden meteor formed by the endless nebula broke through the meteor star circle, it also began to undergo tremendous changes.

The core of the meteor began to gradually turn red, and blazing flames rose up. The original golden meteor quickly turned into a huge scarlet fireball!
After surviving the last heavenly tribulation, Zhou Yang successfully broke through to the next level of the "Star Change" technique - the Star Core Stage!

At the same time, Zhou Yang only felt his consciousness tremble slightly, as if he had some kind of magical resonance with this space.

In this state of resonance, his soul seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, and all kinds of mysteries of breaking through to the Star Core Stage (Dongxu Stage) naturally emerged in his mind.

For example, the soul merges into the Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul flies out of the body, attacks, etc. For example, if the physical body is damaged, the soul can be transformed into a Sanxian body, or one can comprehend the great way of nature, etc.
Moreover, in this resonance, his perception expanded infinitely, and he could easily sense any slight movement within a radius of thousands of miles.

And when he sensed the evil, chaotic and dark aura about a thousand miles away from him, endless coldness emerged in his eyes!

According to the information he had collected, the sixty-nine heavenly tribulations did not include the test of inner demon tribulation, but his emotions became uncontrollable and rioted when he was going through the tribulation just now, which was definitely due to the influence of some external force.

And in the dark aura that he just sensed, he also vaguely sensed some familiar power!
"The aura of a demon cultivator, no wonder."

Zhou Yang immediately understood.

Although the ultimate foundation of this world's cultivation system is to realize the laws of nature, there are subtle differences depending on the method of cultivation and the style of behavior.

For example, among human cultivators, they are divided into two major camps: immortal cultivators and demon cultivators.

Among them, the techniques practiced by immortal cultivators are relatively peaceful, focusing more on tranquility and inaction, and being in harmony with nature. They usually absorb energy by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth or accumulating it step by step by taking elixirs.

The cultivation methods of the demon cultivators are much more brutal, and they basically pursue quick success and combat effectiveness, such as devouring other cultivators' Nascent Souls or even their blood essence to quickly improve their strength, or feeding their souls and spirits. Moreover, due to the influence of their cultivation methods, the temperaments of the demon cultivators are often affected, and they often act crazy and overbearingly, without any reason at all.

When Zhou Yang was undergoing the tribulation just now, he encountered the influence of an inexplicable spiritual force, and this demon cultivator happened to appear near the place where he was undergoing the tribulation. Even a fool would know that there must be an unsolvable connection between them.

"Come to think of it, I haven't really taken action since I came to this world, so I'll use you to feel my current strength!"

Zhou Yang smiled coldly, then flew directly on his sword, flying quickly towards the hiding place of the demon cultivator he had sensed before.

Now that he had broken through to the Star Core Stage, his strength was even more concentrated and solid, and he was flying on his sword at such a fast speed that in almost a moment, he had already reached the endless huge lake of water.

At this moment, on the surface of a lake thousands of miles away, the white-faced young man in a black robe who exuded an evil aura also showed a look of surprise on his face.

"I wasted a precious 'curse soul' of the Void Realm. It should be that the person who was trying to cross the tribulation failed and died."

The white-faced young man was sensing silently, and suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and his expression changed!
"Huh? How is that possible?"

"laugh!"

Just as he was filled with doubt, an extremely dazzling golden sword light came from the sky and chopped down towards his head!

Looking at the golden sword light that was falling on his head, the white-faced young man's mouth turned cold. Even if he was unwilling to be exposed, he could not remain indifferent in the face of such provocation.

"court death!"

The white-faced young man let out a low shout, and took out a palm-sized black flag. He waved it lightly, and suddenly, bursts of black smoke appeared out of thin air, sweeping madly towards the direction of Zhou Yang who was following the sword light.

In the black smoke, there were strange human faces emerging, screaming loudly, and the strange soul shock instantly rushed into Zhou Yang's mind.

However, Zhou Yang had experienced a heavenly tribulation and had been prepared for it. After surviving the heavenly tribulation in Jiashan, his soul realm also increased significantly. Therefore, he was not affected at all by this attack.

He took the opportunity to raise his hand and make some gestures.

"Star field—star core moves!"

As Zhou Yang shouted in his heart, a star core flame from underground was instantly ignited, and the rich golden light was directly injected into the top-grade spiritual weapon dagger, causing the dagger to burst out with endless power!
He raised his hand and pointed, and the spiritual short sword that was rendered in golden color suddenly disappeared, and then appeared directly behind the head of the white-faced young man as if it had teleported. The sharp wind seemed to have pierced his scalp.

"What? Not good!"

The white-faced young man didn't expect that Zhou Yang's hidden strength was so strong. He hurriedly waved the black flag in his hand to block backwards.

However, the speed of the top-grade spiritual weapon dagger infused with the power of Zhou Yang's star core was unimaginably fast!

"Chi~"

"puff!"

The top-grade spiritual flying sword easily avoided the obstruction of the black flag, and then with just a circle, it directly pierced the head of the white-faced young man.

"Whoosh~"

A flash of light passed by, and a deep purple Yuanying holding a delicate silver ring jumped out from the body of the white-faced young man and quickly fled into the distance!
However, Zhou Yang only urged the flying sword of the top-grade spiritual weapon to fly past rapidly. The sharp sword energy burst out from the flying sword directly shattered the soul attached to the Nascent Soul.

He raised his hand, and the dark purple Nascent Soul and the silver ring in the Nascent Soul's arms fell into his hands.
