Martial Saint!-Chapter 1033 - 754: Subduing the Three Demons

Given Lu Xiaolan’s talent, it’s not difficult to help the old mother Breakthrough Seven.

"What about me? Xiaolan, when you become successful, you have to give your brother a hand, you know I raised you," Li Kongkong said expectantly.

Watching his peer Lu Chenzhou become the strongest in the universe while he has just become a Great Grandmaster makes him anxious.

"You can’t make it, I can’t carry you," Lu Xiaolan said with a smile, "I don’t even know how you once overshadowed the Alliance Hierarch."

"There’s still video, and the footage doesn’t lie." Li Kongkong took out an old antique phone and showed it.

In the video, he was suppressing Lu Chenzhou at Huangshan, flamboyantly shaking a feather fan, looking elegant and handsome.

However, the clip of him being kicked down by Lu Chenzhou was edited out.

...

This month, apart from those True Disciples who have important duties guarding the Human World,

the others have gradually ascended to the Martial World to embark on a new journey.

The Great Universe Martial Arts Conference was proposed by Lu Chenzhou.

It is divided into two major sections: the Martial World and the Human World.

During the competition, the Martial World and the Human World connect, providing a great opportunity for people to visit friends and family.

Each section is divided into different groups based on age.

The champions can receive a High Rank Enlightenment Stele.

The overall champion of the Human World section can get an Eighth Rank Enlightenment Stele.

The Martial World section offers even greater opportunities like the Dao Fortune or the Enlightenment Emperor Stele.

The competition is fair and just, with judges being Great Powers.

Apart from Martial Artists, other Cultivators can also participate.

This grand event surpasses the Foreign Martial Arts Competition of the past, and many people are already looking forward to it.

...

Lu Chenzhou, on the other hand, is in seclusion within his internal world.

He is refining and contemplating the Enlightenment Emperor Stele he previously obtained.

The stele’s effect is hundreds to thousands of times greater than that of a normal Enlightenment Stele.

It’s been a few years since the Gods were born, and he must find a way to break through.

Either break the Dao’s shackles or become a Saint, otherwise, it’s difficult to confront Upper Gods and Top-level Gods without a qualitative change.

[Formless Dao breakthrough to Ninth Rank]

[Nirvana Dao breakthrough to Ninth Rank]

[Silent Annihilation Dao breakthrough to Ninth Rank]

[Heart Demon Dao breakthrough to Ninth Rank]

Over the past few years, the Martial Arts Tree’s notifications kept coming.

"The Emperor Stele is indeed a good thing."

Lu Chenzhou stood up, gazing at the Martial Arts Tree.

The main cultivation of Dao totals twenty-four types, all elevated to Ninth Rank.

The Martial Arts Tree hasn’t grown taller; it remains at 9.9 billion zhang.

But it is expanding, like a banyan tree, constantly growing aerial roots around, sprouting new saplings.

Each sapling represents a Ninth Rank Dao.

The central main trunk of the Martial Arts Tree is gradually turning pure white, symbolizing the Chaos Dao.

The Primordial Dao Beast is lounging under the shade, blissfully taking a nap.

"A solitary tree becomes a forest, building the foundation of the World Dao with myriad Daos, expanding the width of the World Dao. One day, it will accumulate enough to break through its limits."

Lu Chenzhou has already found the road ahead.

"With my current strength, I can meet the Three Demons, set after the Great Universe Martial Arts Conference," Lu Chenzhou thought.

To conquer the Three Demons and traverse Heart Tribulation, it must be done personally by him.

...

Tianxia Calendar, Year 2437.

The first Great Universe Martial Arts Conference commenced as scheduled.

On this day, the Martial World emitted dazzling brilliance, as a Chaos Divine Lotus with a diameter of a million li broke through the void and descended.

Lu Chenzhou stood at the peak of the Divine Lotus, waving his hand, causing the lotus to sprout roots, connecting the Human World with the Martial World.

"The Great Universe Martial Arts begins, all participants, enter the Martial World."

Billions of Martial Artists awaited eagerly.

"Hahaha, I’ve already cultivated the strongest Horizontal Body Training, this time I’m sure to win the Great Grandmaster Group championship!"

In the crowd, a bald middle-aged man with eyes full of vicissitudes, donned in a Daoist Robe, stood like an iron tower, it is Wang Gang.

Over two hundred years have passed, he has persistently practiced Inner and Outer Dual Cultivation, refining a very solid foundation.

Otherwise, with his talent and fortune, in today’s Martial Arts Era, he would have long become a Heavenly King.

"Interesting, who would have thought, the young man of yesteryear is now the most powerful controller of the universe,"

A white-haired old knight holding a heavy sword came to the Heavenly King Group’s arena, looking at Lu Chenzhou’s figure in amazement.

The Martial Artists around gazed at the old knight, exclaiming, "It’s the Grey Knight, the one who once battled Lu Xiaolan."

The Grey Knight, a peak Heavenly King who amassed strength over time. Even amidst the present era of prodigies, he relies on superb battle techniques to compete with geniuses. He once battled Lu Xiaolan, known as the "Little Lu Heavenly King," for thousands of rounds and narrowly lost, earning high praise from Lu Xiaolan for his swordsmanship.

After that battle, the Grey Knight, after two hundred years of contemplation, reemerged to fame.

People checked history and found out that more than two hundred years ago, the Grey Knight also had a duel with Lu Chenzhou.

Gradually, the Grey Knight became known as the first genius’s touchstone.

Another group of spirited figures approached.

"Who would have thought, one day, we’d set foot on the Martial Arts Conference arena again."

"Ladies and gentlemen, long time no see."

"This time, we must determine who is the best among us."

"It’s a pity that some old friends have left."

Hong Tianxiang, Xuan Kong, Zhang Lingmiao, these prodigies of the same era as Lu Chenzhou, appeared on stage once again.

They are all outstanding figures of the Seventh Realm, already revered figures who shake the world.

Above the heights, Lu Chenzhou sat alone in a tall building, watching countless familiar faces gather together once more.

Two hundred years, far too many people forever rest on the battlefield.

This Great Universe Martial Arts Conference was nothing short of a grand farewell to old friends for him.

The intense competition lasted for a month, during which prodigies competed to shine, each displaying their divine skills.

There were dark horses rising strongly, and likewise, the light of geniuses remained unchanged, filled with passion and tension.

The people of Tianxia watched this scene as though they were transported back to the pre-Great Catastrophe years.

Ultimately, Lu Xiaolan indisputably won first in the Human World group.

She defeated an opponent who broke through to the Seventh Realm on the spot with her Sixth Realm body without much suspense.

It was a complete dimensional deal, just like the former Lu Chenzhou.

Lu Qianfan also achieved a decent ranking.

Several True Disciples of Lu Chenzhou performed well.

But the overall champion of the Martial Realm Group was the Star-devouring Sword Demon.

"Hahaha, beneath Great Powers, I am the peak!" the Sword Demon laughed heroically.

He is a person who loves battle, and this Martial Arts Conference was quite satisfying to him.

"That’s because we’re all Great Powers now, leaving only you," the Black Boat Ancestor bluntly exposed him.

"Sword Demon, quickly become a Great Power so I can test my saber technique on you," the Sword River Great Saint joked as well.

"Right, Sword Master, when will you become a Great Power?" the Clam Fairy laughed.

In the Great Universe Martial Arts Conference, Great Powers did not participate in the battle.

They are already figures at the pinnacle of fortune, and they need to yield the stage to the younger generation.

When the feast dispersed, Lu Chenzhou used Causality Dao and Destiny Dao to observe the causality lines and destiny lines of each contestant.

These lines intertwined, influencing each other, changing the path of many unseen.

"These are my paths too."

He sighed, returning to his inner world.

...

Three days later.

Lu Chenzhou summoned the top ranks of Tianxia, explaining some matters.

The Eternal Immortal asked, "Hierarch, are you going to subdue the Three Demons and become sanctified in spirit?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded, "Yes, success or failure hinges on this."

"It’s a pity, we can’t help with this," Mr. Turtle said. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"While I am away, the gods might emerge to cause trouble, the human world is entrusted to you all, if necessary Zhang Ancestor will take action.

Lu Chenzhou calculated that some regular deities fast in divine enthronement could emerge in two or three years, and he might not make it back in time.

To sanctify is all unknown.

"Go assuredly, we’ll handle things here," the Dragon King said.

After the meeting, Lu Chenzhou bid farewell to the Yaochi Immortal, his figure disappearing from the human world.

He tore through layers of dimensions with both hands, not knowing how long he ascended, finally arriving in a vast spiritual ocean.

Here is the main base of the collective consciousness ocean of the sentient beings of the Three Thousand Worlds, which can be called the [Heart Realm].

Just entering the Heart Realm, three strong gazes turned towards him.

Lu Chenzhou remained unmoved, finding his Heart Demon Body.

A giant black egg constantly trembled, its surface covered in spreading cracks.

The Fourth True Demon is about to be conceived, and Lu Chenzhou has come to protect it.

Soon, three lights landed before him, they are a beautiful woman, a brawny fat man, and a slender old man.

Greed, Hatred, Ignorance, the Three Demons descended, and it was their true selves.

Lu Chenzhou slightly perceived, the momentum of the Three Demons was much stronger than a Middle Rank God, but somewhat weaker than an Upper God.

However, the Three Demons’ undying and immortal nature made them even tougher to deal with.

"Friend Lu, long time no see, you’ve made me miss you so, have you found a new love and forgotten the old one?" the beautiful woman laughed.

"If you miss me, why not acknowledge me as your master, then you can always be by my side," Lu Chenzhou said.

"Pfft, keep dreaming," the woman pouted.

"Lu Chenzhou, we don’t wish to be enemies, but coming to our territory is a bit overbearing?" the fat man said coldly.

"The Great Universe is about to perish, I need your help," Lu Chenzhou said sincerely.

"What a joke, what does the demise of the Great Universe have to do with us? The Universe can never be extinguished, only the living beings within it perish. The Universe naturally goes through withering and flourishing, rebirth in the cycle, and we can be revived with the birth of new life, we’re not concerned with a great calamity," the fat man sneered.

"Is that so? Are you sure that when Wu becomes the ruler of the Great Universe, he will still let you be revived?" Lu Chenzhou asked in return.

The immortality of the Three Demons is not mistaken, provided the Universe follows a normal cycle.

The Three Demons and Heavenly Tribulations are themselves manifestations of the Great Cosmic Will to maintain order.

Without Heart Demons, breaking through realms would be too easy, and the Great Universe would have already been exhausted.

But if Wu Ruo gains control of the Great Universe, he can use his own will to reshape the Great Universe.

The Three Demons were silent, the fat man’s lips boasted bravery, but internally there was fear.

"What do you intend to do?" the old man, more rational, asked calmly.

"I’ve said, acknowledge me as your master, I won’t kill you, I just need your assistance to become sanctified," Lu Chenzhou said.

"Sanctified?" The woman showed a look of surprise, and laughed, "Becoming sanctified is just a fanciful imagination of mere mortals."

"How will you know if you don’t try? Whether you three admit it or not, the current situation leaves only a glimmer of hope in my hands to turn the tide, to eliminate the stars, and bring the Great Universe back on track," Lu Chenzhou’s tone was low yet filled with determination, exuding an extreme confidence.

The Three Demons fell into contemplation.

After some time, the woman said, "Fine, we shall assist you."
