Martial Saint!-Chapter 690 - 0427 Shaking the Hall Master (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Chapter 690: 0427 Shaking the Hall Master (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

Before embarking on the path of expansion, Lu Chenzhou’s "Mountain Lord Inquiry Fist" was approaching Great Success. Shortly after entering the small realm, he naturally achieved a breakthrough and comprehended the fourth move of the fist technique, [Mountain Lord Asking Heaven]. Over the past six months, he devoted most of his energy to mastering the use of this move.

Mountain Lord Asking Heaven is different from the conventional moves of the Tiger Form Fist. It isn’t simply defined by attack, defense, control, or self-preservation. When the technique is activated, it utilizes one’s Martial Arts Will to connect with the Elusive Heavenly Heart, borrowing the power of the Heavenly Heart to [Ask the Heart] of the opponent.

Who propagated Dao at the beginning of antiquity?

Before heaven and earth took shape, how can one investigate?

Who can fathom the dark obscurities?

What allows one to recognize its manifestations?

...

Each phrase directly touches upon the cosmic Dao, posing questions that probe deeply into the soul of the opponent, questions that no one can answer. If the opponent’s will is strong and their understanding of Dao profound and unwavering, they can withstand it easily even if their cultivation is low.

If one’s Dao Heart has flaws, if their cultivation is unstable, unsteady, and they lack a personal understanding of the natural world, faced with countless questions of the heart, they will fall into the boundless void things, witnessing the universe’s grandeur and fearing their own insignificance.

Ultimately, the will collapses, and the Dao Heart crumbles.

The formidable cultivation of the Earth Shattering Patriarch stems largely from its innate Five Patterns Demon King bloodline. Its so-called comprehension of the law also originates from this bloodline, and its will is reliant on the divine entity it believes in, the [Demon Insect Dominator]. All of this is like a castle in the air, dependent on external powers.

Are gods stronger than heaven and universe?

These questions of the heart may lead martial artists to have their own interpretations, but to those demons born strong in places like Rome, it is akin to "unutterable babbling." Thus, the Earth Shattering Patriarch is easily questioned and falls into the illusion of questioning heaven.

Master fighters need only a slight flaw to determine victory or defeat in a flash; in a moment of self-doubt, Lu Chenzhou executed with a long spear, beheading it.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a sense of danger attacked from behind Lu Chenzhou, but he saw the void shattering, and a massive green-scaled claw enshrouded in green flames reaching for him. His body sprang out, twisting like a taut bow before releasing, striking back with a backward charge!

Dusk of the Gods!

The battlefield descended, and the spear’s domain momentarily stalled the massive green-scaled claw before the strange power ripped it apart. The claw, unstoppable, continued to reach for him. Observing this, Lu Chenzhou shook the long spear on the ground, soared upward with the speed of Chasing Clouds and Moons, and was about to vanish into the void.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort thundered like a storm across a hundred miles, forcing Lu Chenzhou’s figure to reemerge from the void, revealing his three-zhang-tall true form in the Kunpeng State. His Qi-Blood nearing twenty thousand, his imposing aura radiated like a furnace, with his very breath causing the void to tremble.

Even in the battle against the Earth Shattering Patriarch, he hadn’t used the Kun Character Technique, just in case. But when faced with this unknown formidable enemy, he no longer hesitated, burning fiercely.

Ten Directions Seal!

Dusk of the Gods!

Nightfall Elegy!

Tens of Thousands of Lights!

The four major killing moves appeared in succession, turning the fragile small realm instantly into chaos. Surrounding clouds gathered, the earth underwent upheaval, mountains crumbled—a scene of apocalypse.

In the sudden outburst, the green-scaled claw was caught off guard, the green flames dimmed, and even a few scales cracked and fell off, green blood splattering and corroding deep pits in the ground, with plumes of green smoke rising like wolf smoke.

While in retreat, Lu Chenzhou estimated the enemy’s cultivation to be at the late Fifth Realm, otherwise, it would not have been able to overpower him with just one hand. The green-scaled claw relentlessly pursued, its arrogance overwhelming.

"Look at the sword!"

A brilliant and magnificent sword light emerged from the shattered void, accompanied by a scene of ten thousand cranes soaring in the blue sky. The sword light, infused with the power of heaven and earth, struck like a celestial force.

With a crisp sound, the green-scaled claw was severed, fell to the ground, and transformed into a puddle of green pus before exploding, spreading poisonous mist instantly covering the land.

Lu Chenzhou was seized by a long, slender, and fair hand by the collar of fate and then carried into the void, disappearing, leaving only the roar echoing across the sky.

Inside Yellow Wind Valley.

A lone-armed green-scaled figure ten-zhang-tall looked at the shivering second and third of Yellow Wind Valley. It still held an insect head and a headless body. Around the lone arm, green pus swirled, and shortly after, a new arm grew back, indistinguishable from the original.

"Master... Master, what brings you here?"

"My true self was passing by."

"Is our ancestor dead?"

Upon hearing this, the insect head’s eyes opened, snarling, "Eager to see me dead, aren’t you? Could a mere Grandmaster kill me? If I hadn’t carelessly fallen into his path, he would already be a dead man."

The green-scaled figure sneered, "Don’t make excuses. If I hadn’t happened to be here, no matter how strong your life force is, you’d have been killed by that Lu Chenzhou, not to mention, hidden in the dark was a Wanxiang Dao Great Grandmaster, and you would have surely died."

The Earth Shattering Patriarch remained speechless.

It had broadened its horizon, having not expected that such a monstrous human being would arise after awakening from its slumber.

It changed the subject and asked.

"Why aren’t you at the Demon King Hall, Master? What if those humans join forces to attack?"

"Heh, my Clone Technique has been perfected, with my true self stationed at the hall and my clones walking the world."

"Hiss, Master, does your clone have End Realm strength too? Could it be your true self has already broken through to Demon Emperor?"

"Hmm, let’s keep this matter confidential for now. Let those arrogant humans bask in their momentary glory. I will remain in the Demon King Hall, waiting for them to join forces for an attack. At that time, with the might of the Demon Emperor, I will wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Isn’t the Demon Emperor unable to take action?"

"I am the Demon Emperor born in this realm. Acting within a short period is not an issue. However, once I take action, I will be rejected by the rules of this realm and exiled to the Human World. Therefore, we only have one chance and must not fail."

"Understood."

"Withdraw the troops. This place is no longer safe. Let’s temporarily leave Yellow Wind Valley to them."

Soon after.

The Yellow Wind Valley returned to peace. Compared to earlier days, the gale within the valley significantly decreased and visibly weakened.

...

"This..."

In the distance, the members of the Cloud Mountain War Group were shocked.

The recent battle outside Yellow Wind Valley was terrifying. Such a sight was undoubtedly a clash of top-level forces in this realm.

"There is actually a Great Demon King beneath Yellow Wind Valley."

"That Great Demon King was almost killed by Lu Chenzhou."

"Incredible!"

Everyone’s hearts were stirring. If not witnessed personally, it would be hard to believe that someone could confront a Great Demon King with Grandmaster strength. Although Du Meng was capable of achieving this, he was already at the Qi-Blood Limit, just a step away from Great Grandmaster. Moreover, Du Meng set the battlefield in Yellowstone Park, cleverly harnessing the power of underground magma.

Lu Chenzhou, however, reversed the situation and defeated the opponent in the territory of the Great Demon King, where the other had home advantage.

This achievement carries a different weight.

Not to mention, Lu Chenzhou is only at the End Realm, with plenty of growth potential in the coming years. Once he reaches the Qi-Blood Limit, his combat strength could multiply by two!

At that time, it’s unimaginable how powerful he would be.

After reaching Grandmaster, for an average Genius, fighting against even small realm challenges is extremely tough, yet he can reverse and defeat enemies across Great Realms.

This is the gap!

Qi Jingtian: "After this battle, in this world, Mr. Lu’s strength should be steadily in the top three Grandmasters. I wonder how he compares to Wan Tiangong?"

Wan Tiangong, Dream Ring, Sword Embracing Tiger—these three all have the strength to confront Great Grandmasters head-on. Wan Tiangong is rumored to have slain an injured Great Demon King.

Ling Susu remarked with admiration: "I feel like I’ve wasted my last eighty years. Mr. Lu truly is a peerless genius." There was a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Beside her, Li Kongkong was slightly moved.

"Oh no..."

His father had perished in the war early on, and the Martial Artist community was open-minded. His mother had always wanted to find a new Daoist couple. After all, for a Grandmaster, Ling Susu still seemed young.

...

"Luckily, I didn’t join in on the excitement, otherwise I would have just become a burden to Brother Lu, helping in the wrong way. Brother Lu’s perception is indeed sharp. How did he know that a Great Demon King was hiding in the valley?" Chen Tang said with a bitter smile.

Wang Xian laughed: "That’s normal, you get used to it."

Being together for a long time, such conventional operations no longer surprised him. Given the abilities of his junior brother, all these "old veterans" of the Martial Arts World only needed not to cause trouble.

...

Due to the appearance of the green-scaled giant claw, Yellow Wind Valley temporarily became unsafe. Wei Fenghua ordered the War Group to temporarily withdraw to their base and assess the situation before returning to Yellow Wind Valley.

Inside the base.

Wei Fenghua emerged from the void, placing Lu Chenzhou on the ground. Standing firm, Lu Chenzhou chuckled: "Master, I didn’t expect you to be here too."

Tuo Tian Head Monk smiled slightly, as a response.

Wei Fenghua’s face was solemn:

"Master, there is not just one Great Demon King in Yellow Wind Valley, there is another, suspected to be the Demon King Hall Master, but I’m not sure. In any case, the war groups need to be on alert."

"The six-headed Great Demon King? Its strength is infinitely close to the Demon Emperor. If it acts personally, wouldn’t the Demon King Hall be unguarded?" The Master was slightly shocked. For these commanders, the most critical entities in this realm are the Demon King Hall Master and the Myriad Ghost Cave Master. As for the Lion Ape King, as long as it’s not provoked, there should be no issue.

The six-headed Great Demon King is difficult to contend with, even for two End Realm Great Grandmasters working together. During this pioneering, the Wanbang Council secretly dispatched four End Realm Great Grandmasters for neutral observation. They would not intervene unless in a crisis. Of course, this information is classified and known only to the Great Grandmasters.

"Upon reflection, it feels off. If the six heads engaged directly, the sword I struck from void stealth shouldn’t have severed its arm, and when I arrived, Lu Chenzhou was already entangled with it for a while."

The Head Monk pondered for a moment, then mused: "It must be a Clone Technique. Demon Ghosts love creating clones. Moving forward, we need to act carefully, and upon spotting any trace of six-headed clones, we should communicate with each other to avoid being trapped alone."

The old monk looked at Lu Chenzhou, feeling slightly amazed. He knew the young man was formidable, but he didn’t expect him to withstand the clone of the Demon King Hall Master. Before long, this old bag of bones would no longer be a match for him.

A new generation will always surpass the old.

One must accept the inevitability of aging.
