Chapter 677: 0420 One method explains myriad methods, one method overcomes myriad methods (seeking monthly tickets and subscriptions)
Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, Demon Palace.
The Red Lotus Demon Venerable listened to the reports from his subordinates.
"Damn it, it still failed. Du Meng’s luck is too good, and now a Demon Emperor was sacrificed in vain."
The Forbidden Zone is not short of Demon Emperors, but wanting to be transported through the earth’s veins requires a cost. Otherwise, one could send all the Demon Emperors over at once, relying on sheer numbers to carry out a dimensional strike against the Human World.
Moreover, the Forbidden Zone is engaged in warfare across all fronts, the flames of war stretching across the Three Thousand Worlds, with the Xia Realm being just one battlefield. If it weren’t for the rapid growth of the Xia Realm in recent years, attracting special attention from the Witch, this place wouldn’t even be considered a main battleground.
In the Three Thousand Worlds, there are still many remnants of the powerful Divine Court engaging in a tug-of-war with the Forbidden Zone.
The Spirit Eye Demon Emperor laughed and said, "Demon Venerable, there’s no need to rush. As the mortals say, it takes a hundred days to heal bones and muscles. This severe injury to Du Meng will also delay his martial arts cultivation."
Only then did the Red Lotus Demon Venerable feel a bit relieved.
According to the Witch’s decree, Du Meng, Di Jialou, Lu Chenzhou, along with Long Yue and Li Jue, are all potential successors of the Four Emperors. The first three are the Dragon Emperor, Heart Emperor, and War Emperor, while the latter two are the Emperor Xuan.
The Witch underestimated the hidden trump cards left by the Divine Court, fearing that if these geniuses reach the Ninth Realm in the future, they would possess strength comparable to the divine, affecting the revival of the Forbidden Zone.
Level-crossing battles in the Mountain Realm are not uncommon across the Three Thousand Worlds. A key indicator of a Four Emperor-level figure is the ability to continue such battles even after the Sea Realm. Du Meng is a typical example!
If these individuals continue to maintain this momentum, once they reach the Ninth Realm, ordinary deities will find it difficult to kill them one-on-one.
Further beyond that, they will stand shoulder to shoulder with the divine.
Further upwards, they become like the Four Emperors.
Even ordinary deities can be slain!
The Starry Gods who survive to this day are indeed strong; the weak have died in the divine war.
However, due to being sealed in the Forbidden Zone for too long, none of the deities remain at their peak strength, and the birth of several Four Emperor-level beings in the Three Thousand Worlds is something the gods do not wish to see.
Therefore, the Witch has particularly emphasized.
Those capable of level-crossing battles after the Mountain Realm must be eliminated at all costs, even if it means using Demon Emperors as Death Soldiers!
As of now, according to the gods’ observations, there are over a hundred such seedlings throughout the Three Thousand Worlds, all potentially the last resorts of the Four Emperors. The demon ghost forces have carried out multiple assassinations and successfully eliminated some.
In the Xia Realm, four people show tendencies towards the Four Emperors. Besides the three mentioned above, there is one more: the Dragon King!
This individual is considered the top enemy of the gods, having successfully evaded and counter-killed nine Demon Venerable experts, with the strongest being infinitely close to the power of the Eighth Realm.
It must be noted that the Dragon King is only in the middle stage of the Seventh Realm.
Currently, the gods of the Forbidden Zone are deliberating on sending out several Eighth Realm beings to block the Dragon King on one hand, and on the other, to have these Eighth Realm experts consume energy from the Grand Curtain, so it can be shattered sooner, allowing the demon ghost army to invade the Xia Realm.
Soon, more Demon Emperors gathered.
The Red Lotus Demon Venerable said, "The small realm of the Primordial Ore is about to open. Without any surprises, Da Xia will definitely send a large number of geniuses, including the ’Four Emperors Seed·Lu Chenzhou’ for training. This might be our last chance to kill this child. Given this child’s progress, comparable to Du Meng, it is estimated that by the age of 45, he will reach Great Grandmaster.
By then, apart from the Demon Emperor, no one will be able to kill him. But as everyone has seen, even with the deployment of a Demon Emperor, it is difficult to succeed in the Human World. These individuals are blessed with great fate and always manage to evade disaster!
Therefore, this ’Hunt Lu Action’ must not fail. I hope the ’Demon God Avatars’ left in the small realm do not disappoint me. If Lu Chenzhou can be killed, losing a mining field is trivial."
The Spirit Eye Demon Emperor smiled confidently:
"The last time this child appeared, his cultivation was only at the Initial Realm. Even with progress over the years, it would be at most the Middle Realm. The avatars we left in the small realm boast the strength of a Great Demon King, more than enough to kill him."
The Demon God Avatar is a secret technique that only the demon race with the bloodline of the Demon Emperor can use.
Through this method, a trace of bloodline and the power of the Demon Emperor can be stripped away and attached to a demon of the Demon King level.
Once unleashed, these Demon Kings will burn their lives, reaching an ultimate elevation to become carriers of the Demon Emperor’s power, temporarily lifting them by one Great Realm. Such creatures are not ordinary Great Demon Kings but possess some inherent talents of the Demon Emperor, as can be seen from the resilient Red Shang Ghost King from the Lu Ming underground palace.
The cost of using the Demon God Avatar is significant, requiring recovery periods of decades at best, or at worst, causing a drop in small realms and consuming potential, making future ascension to Demon Venerable ever more difficult.
Therefore, this method is not utilized until crucial moments. After learning about the withdrawal from the Primordial Ore, half of the Demon Emperors at the palace bestowed their avatars through secret techniques onto the appropriate Demon Kings.
...
Deep under the Xia Realm, countless miles below.
The shifting mountains and seas caused the core temperature to surpass that of before, tens of thousands of degrees of high-temperature gas permeating, like flames, like molten lava, with even Absolute Peak Experts unable to step in.
Yet here lay a giant red flame beast with a back like lotus petals, in slumber.
"Lu Chenzhou must die."
The aura of the Red Lotus Demon Venerable was weaker than before; for absolute certainty, it quietly dispatched a Demon God Avatar, which consumed years of its savings.
In this race against time, those few years might cause it to fall behind the Eternal Immortals, affecting the apocalyptic plan.
But there was no choice,
the assassination of Lu Chenzhou had a high priority.
This was the Witch’s order.
It was eager to witness its Demon God Avatar wreak havoc within the mining small realm.
Even if Da Xia sent Great Grandmasters to guard, it would be futile; it wanted humanity to witness the true value of the supreme Nine-Pattern Demon Clan! The flower of slaughter would bloom like a red lotus.
...
Five Thunders Hall.
A figure is practicing spear, the Tiger Soul Thousand Soul Spear whistling, dancing into a strange blood dragon. Woo woo woo, tens of thousands of blood-colored resentful souls dance along with the spear skill.
From a distance, it resembles a Demon King on tour.
Then, a touch of ghostly light swirling with Life and Death Qi appears at the spear tip, like an embryonic form of a world, countless resentful souls converge into this world like bats returning to their roost.
The world cannot bear the weight, trembling with a hum.
"Life and death are vast and distant!"
Lu Chenzhou thrusts his spear, the ghostly light explodes violently, transforming into a dull, black and gray Great Sun, the extreme power of life and death rolls back like a tide, where it passes, all colors in this world quietly fade.
Thus, a black and gray world with a diameter of a hundred meters suddenly forms, filled with the meaning of silent annihilation.
A Third Realm Great Demon used for an experiment is sent by Lu Chenzhou into the black and gray world, instantly ages, dies, and finally turns into dust, dissipating into nothingness.
This residual power alone has such might. It is hard to imagine the consequences if hit by the spear tip?
[Martial God Spear: Spear Skill Second Transformation.]
"The tenth form of Martial God Spear is completed, Du Meng’s move indeed has many aspects worth learning. Also, this Life and Death Talisman, if only used as a Dark Weapon Skill, would be a waste. Essentially, this is a Qi Refinement cultivation method of Life and Death Qi."
Lu Chenzhou still remembers, the carefree old man said, his Daoist lineage actually came from the way beyond the West Kunlun, this ’way beyond’ should mean ’Qi Refiner.’ Utilizing Life and Death Qi as energy balls and releasing them against enemies is the spell of a Qi Refiner.
After developing Void-breaking Sword Qi, Lu Chenzhou gained super strong long-range capability, and now, he also incorporated Life and Death Qi, referencing the fusion flow, into his spear skill.
This is "Life and death are vast and distant."
One spear thrust, both sides’ life and death are vast and distant.
The enemy dies, I live. freewёbnoνel.com
Even if lucky enough to survive, death Qi will invade the body like maggots on bones, if not timely eradicated, will cause loss of lifespan, dying of old age within a short time!
Far away.
The uncle and nephew of the Spiritual Eye Fish Demon race in the Dragon-locking Well have numb expressions, suddenly sensing a crisis for the Demon Race.
Lu Chenzhou’s progress is too intimidating.
The laws he comprehends are beyond even the Devouring Water Demon King’s complete understanding, merely with one type of spear skill, exhibiting multiple aspects, from Dripping Water Law, to Life and Death Law, to Singularity Law... everything is there.
It’s as if he knows everything.
This involuntarily reminds them of their never-seen "homeland," essentially a legend from the Land of the Stars: it is said there is a law above all laws, can evolve many laws with just one law, can conquer many laws with just one law!
Its name is: World.
In the Land of the Stars, the World has another name:
Chaos!
This is a forbidden term almost erased from the history of All Gods, a term that Stars Gods avoid discussing.
...
In a blink, three months have passed.
October 1, 2243.
Martial Arts Tree awakening 23rd anniversary.
Lu Chenzhou looks at the towering giant tree in his mind that has grown to four thousand meters, unable to imagine, twenty years ago, it was only three feet high, all of this is the fruit of his efforts!
The Martial Arts Tree grows so quickly, partly because the power of Daoist Rules previously harvested in the Water Mansion is not yet depleted, and partly because his insight into spear skills is progressing rapidly. Understanding "Life and death are vast and distant" has added another three hundred meters of growth.
He reflects on the cultivation achievements over the past year.
"Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds has reached Small Success, the strongest sound wave technique Heavenly Dragon Falling Hammer is almost mastered, wondering if this hammer force can shake the Great Demon King?"
"Life and Death Talisman at the 8th Layer can stack the power of eight layers of Life and Death Qi, Void-breaking Sword Qi and Life and death are vast and distant should have increased a lot in power."
"Three Worlds and Ten Directions Venerable Sutra at the 11th layer, spiritual power 5000 Prajna, finally reached the Middle Realm Spiritual Grandmaster realm, telekinesis perception range can cover ten miles, where telekinesis touches is the effective range for me to use flying sword to take heads."
"Mountain Lord Inquiry Fist is about to reach Great Success, soon can master the fourth move Mountain Lord Asking Heaven."
"Phoenix Call to the Nine Heavens is still lacking in fire control, it’s undeniable, Phoenix Form Fist is indeed harder to practice than Tiger Form. But I can defeat the strong with weak, thanks to Phoenix-shaped speed."
"Lu Wu Demon Cleansing Scripture wanting twelve layers still needs some time, inner strength is like water milling technique."
"World Tiger Fist..."
In a thought.
Lu Chenzhou arrives at the Inner Scenery Land.
Acupoint Heavenly Stars illuminate, he looks at the Martial Arts Peak, leisurely reaches the third observation platform of the fourth spiral stairs, looking at the inscription on the cliff.
"Still only the Dragon King is tirelessly carving ’Been Here,’ acting like a tourist."
