Yu Zhibo surveyed the shadowy cultivators in the sky. These individuals looked down upon him with disdain, their gazes filled with intense fighting spirit.
He then sensed their cultivation levels.
Well, there were quite a few strong ones.
Excluding the riff-raff below the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, there were eighteen cultivators in the late Nascent Soul (A-class) and peak Nascent Soul stages, and a staggering nine cultivators in the Soul Transformation (S-class) stage.
Due to the proximity of the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect, six of the nine Soul Transformation cultivators were sword cultivators. Each of them was like a sharp sword, their sword intent soaring into the heavens, appearing exceptionally formidable.
As for the remaining three, whether they were from the Azure Cloud Sect or Cloud Phoenix Mountain, it was unknown. However, Cloud Phoenix Mountain was known for producing female cultivators, so it was likely that the beautiful lady in palace attire, with a flirtatious glint in her eyes, was from Cloud Phoenix Mountain.
Everyone stared at Yu Zhibo, their combined auras converging into a single force, descending like a great mountain, as if to completely suppress him.
Yu Zhibo suddenly smiled, his teeth stark white, his lips like a blade, momentarily entrancing many of the female cultivators.
The next moment, his originally black eyes transformed into Sharingan with purple vortex patterns, and his own terrifying aura erupted, soaring into the sky.
Boom!
An invisible storm shattered the combined seal of everyone's intent. Yu Zhibo glanced indifferently, grinned, and said, "The insignificant trash should retreat first. As for the rest, if you want to fight me, it depends on whether you are qualified."
With that, his pupils widened, and an extremely dense environment of mountains of corpses and seas of blood was released from his eyes, drawing everyone's will into an illusion.
Yu Zhibo's Rinnegan was different from Uchiha Madara's. During its evolution to the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan, his eyes had fused with chaotic energy and the laws of life and death rotation. Not only did they retain the Sharingan's powerful genjutsu abilities and Mangekyo abilities, but they also gained all the Rinnegan's skills on top of that, followed by Amenominaka and Infinite Tsukuyomi.
The genjutsu he was currently using was a low-tier version of Infinite Tsukuyomi's genjutsu, namely Tsukuyomi, an ability of Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan.
In the illusion, a blood moon hung high in the sky. Yu Zhibo unleashed Tsukuyomi as an area-of-effect attack, drawing most of them into the illusion.
The moment they were pulled into the illusion, the cultivators below the Soul Transformation stage felt their pupils constrict. Within seconds, their eyes rolled back, their bodies trembled, and saliva dripped from their mouths, their expressions suggesting they had been utterly broken.
Only a few seconds had passed in the real world, but within the Tsukuyomi space, they had been stabbed for three days and three nights, their spiritual seas on the verge of collapse.
"Is this the confidence you have in declaring war on me? Truly weak!"
Yu Zhibo chuckled. Under his mocking gaze, the cultivators in the sky fell like dumplings, their bodies plummeting as various attacks were launched, unable to even use the most basic levitation spells.
This included the late Nascent Soul stage Sky-Splitting Sword Sect sword cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist, you have truly remarkable skills!"
In the sky, a handsome young man wearing a blue brocade robe, embroidered with patterns of green mountains and clouds on his chest, broke free from the illusion, his face grim.
This person was in the Soul Transformation stage and was Zhang Chulan of the Azure Cloud Sect, who had introduced himself to Yu Zhibo when Yu Zhibo first arrived.
Zhang Chulan waved his hand, releasing a cloud of mist. The mist split into dozens of clusters, catching all the falling cultivators and gathering them in one place. Then, a bamboo slip flew out from his sleeve, transforming into a protective barrier that firmly shielded everyone.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Yu Zhibo applauded with a smile, "As expected of a Soul Transformation stage cultivator, to withstand my gaze without defeat. It seems I underestimated you all."
Beside the young man in the green robe, a disciple wearing the same uniform also easily broke free from the illusion. This disciple had a baby face but an exceptionally solemn expression. However, unlike before, his eyes had now turned a brilliant golden hue, within which stars flickered and died, as if capable of evolving everything.
"Deterring Illusion Divine Eye!"
Yu Zhibo felt a sense of awe. The Azure Cloud Sect was indeed one of the three major sects in this area, with disciples cultivating such divine abilities.
When Chen Bo awakened the Deterring Illusion Divine Eye, he had also drawn it. At that time, he had used it to see through Commander Chen Lianchang's true demonic form in the military district. However, it was clear that the Deterring Illusion Divine Eye of the young man before him was far more advanced than Chen Bo's divine eye at the time.
Besides the two disciples from the Azure Cloud Sect, the Soul Transformation stage female disciple from Cloud Phoenix Mountain was not skilled in soul offense and defense, and her cultivation was the weakest among all the Soul Transformation cultivators present. Therefore, she was also stunned with a single glance.
The remaining six disciples of the Sky-Splitting Sword Sect all had cold expressions and stood straight. Not only were they not defeated by the genjutsu, but their sharpness had increased, each of them like a sharp sword, their edge soaring into the heavens.
Facing them, Yu Zhibo also showed a hint of solemnity.
Putting aside the Nascent Soul stage sword cultivator from before, the moment these six sword cultivators were drawn into the Tsukuyomi world, they used their own sword dao laws to shatter the entire Tsukuyomi world. Not only were they unaffected, but they also used this opportunity to temper their sword hearts, with a hidden killing intent in their eyes.
"Are you coming one by one, or all at once?"
Yu Zhibo stood on the land that had been ravaged into a bald patch. Although he was looked down upon by the eight individuals, his aura was like an abyss, his eyes radiating a purple light that dared not be met.
He simply stood there, a one-man army.
"Sky-Splitting Sword Sect, Xiao Li, I request your guidance!"
The man speaking wore a gray and white robe, with two strands of dragon-whisker hair hanging down on either side of his face. His facial features were chiseled like a knife, and his entire demeanor was sharp and unrestrained, much like a wandering swordsman.
"I remember you. You said you had three thousand immortal swords and wanted to trade with me. I didn't expect you to look so intimidating when you're serious."
Xiao Li was the one who posed the greatest threat to him among everyone.
Yu Zhibo smiled lazily and said, "I'll fight this Brother Xiao first. As for the rest of you, fight my clones."
With that, he brought his hands together, and seven Rinnegan shadow clones suddenly appeared on his left and right sides, each with a different expression representing joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure, love, hate, and desire.
"Seven Emotions Incarnations, what exactly is your origin!"
The moment the shadow clones appeared, Zhang Chulan's face finally showed a shocked expression. He stared at Yu Zhibo's shadow clones, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
Especially after sensing the aura of each Rinnegan shadow clone, which was like that of a real person, indistinguishable from the main body. Moreover, their expressions corresponded to the seven emotions, indicating they were not simple.
"Senior Brother, these clones... each possesses a physical body, and they are all very strong!"
Behind Zhang Chulan, his junior brother with the baby face spoke with difficulty, the golden light in his eyes flickering unstably, revealing his current agitated state of mind.
Yu Zhibo looked at the Seven Emotions Incarnations and felt a bit bewildered himself, but he showed no outward sign. He glanced at Xiao Li, chose one of the dimensional entrances, and flew into it first.
Xiao Li raised an eyebrow and followed closely behind.
As for the remaining clones, they also entered the spaces before them respectively.
The other sword cultivators exchanged glances. One of them said, "Let's kill all his clones first, then we'll decide!"
Everyone nodded and shot towards the entrances of the dimensional spaces.
