Chapter 691: 0428 Two Years Later (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The next day.

In a certain part of the minor realm.

Pioneering Temporary Command Center.

Within a hidden stronghold, four Great Grandmasters exuding the aura of the End Realm are observing the combat projection.

They are the "Observers" of the Wanbang Council, neutrally evaluating the performance of each war group within the minor realm.

"Lu Chenzhou’s ability to slay the Sand King was not unexpected, but defeating that Great Demon King, especially within its own territory, certainly gave me a pleasant surprise."

"If it weren’t for the suspected descent of a clone of the Six-headed Great Demon King, that Demon King of Yellow Wind Valley would undoubtedly be dead!"

"This is undoubtedly the combat power of a Great Grandmaster. Compared to the so-called quasi-Great Grandmasters, it’s of much higher quality."

"Indeed. Moreover, in the battle with the Demon Worm, it wasn’t even his limit. Subsequently, he was able to contend with that End Realm Great Demon King with ease, despite being at a disadvantage."

"Hahaha, just at the beginning of the pioneering effort, Lu Chenzhou has given us a surprise. Truly remarkable."

Eventually,

An elderly man with white hair said:

"In this battle, Lu Chenzhou slew the Sand King, earning 300 merit points. He heavily injured the Nameless Great Demon King. Although it escaped, the difficulty of crossing realms to battle was considerable, and he performed excellently, thus earning 700 merit points. What does everyone think?"

"No problem."

"Agreed."

The white-haired elder stroked his beard and uploaded the merit points. He is the pinnacle of combat strength in this pioneering effort, from the Dragon and Tiger Academy, with the Daoist title [Master of Central Flush].

...

That day.

Everyone received messages on their Sky Battle Tokens about a change in the ranking information. Lu Chenzhou, with a total of 1100 merit points, was far ahead of hundreds of Grandmaster Experts.

The second place, Wan Tiangong, only had 400 merit points.

The War Group merit is the total merit of everyone in the group. Lu Chenzhou, with his own strength, propelled the ranking of the Wanxiang Battle Group from 18th to 12th, like a rocket.

In the first year of pioneering, everyone was familiarizing themselves with the conditions of this realm, so merit was not plentiful. Lu Chenzhou’s battle was undoubtedly the highest-spec combat since entering the realm.

...

Huashan Battle Group.

"Oh, I’ve moved up to 3rd place?" Yue Bufen, who was originally 2nd, looked at the list, his eyes flickering. "Lu Chenzhou surged by 1000 merit points in one day? He killed the Sand King, which ranked in the top fifty of the Demon King Hall, and severely injured the Nameless Great Demon King. Could it be that he has already ascended to a Great Grandmaster?"

...

Rising Winter War Group.

The Demon Fist Tyrant glared with eyes wide as copper bells, just having ended his secluded cultivation. "Lu’s strength is formidable, already having the level to suppress an Initial Realm Great Demon King. No wonder he doesn’t participate in the All Nations Martial Arts Competition; does he think we are too weak?"

The Demon Fist Tyrant withdrew his thoughts.

"Forget it, back to secluded cultivation. For now, the Demon Race and the Pioneering War Group are both cautious. In two years, there might not be a major war. With my progress, in as quick as a year, or at most a year and a half, I can ascend to the Fifth Realm. Then I’ll storm the Demon King Hall and madly accumulate merit!"

...

Po Suo Battle Group.

The Dream Ring coiled within the void, with a crystal ball orbiting her like a satellite. With each orbit, her spiritual power incrementally strengthened until, at some crucial moment, the sound of shattering glass echoed through the void, and a tidal wave of spiritual power surged into her body, with complex and mysterious runes shimmering.

Circular, multicolored magic rings appeared in her mind, eventually forming overlapping shadows of five rings.

"The Spiritual Great Grandmaster is achieved!"

The Dream Ring calmed her emotions, focusing on stabilizing her realm. Unexpectedly, she should be the first to break through to the Fifth Realm as a Grandmaster, with four and a half years left to ensure stability and aim for the top!

She opened the rankings list. Because she hadn’t stepped out, she was ranked at the bottom. She looked at the top, her eyebrows twitching.

"Another one who reverse-slays a Great Grandmaster?"

Compared to Du Meng, this was even more shocking.

Because Lu Chenzhou had only been a Grandmaster for a few years.

...

Before long, news of Lu Chenzhou reverse-slaying the Great Demon King swept through the entire Pioneering War Group like a hurricane.

"Hahaha, what’s Du Meng compared to him? It’s Lu Grandmaster, who, with an End Realm body, reversed-slayed a Great Demon King!"

"I watched the combat projection. There were no tricks; it was pure hand-to-hand combat, clashing with the Demon King, grinding down the valley. The Great Demon King was scared stiff."

"With Lu Chenzhou around, the Wanxiang Battle Group is bound to soar high, aiming for the top three in the War Group rankings."

"Not necessarily. Lu Chenzhou’s realm is too low. With only four years left of this pioneering, if he can’t ascend to a Great Grandmaster within two years, then after those monstrous Great Grandmasters from the top ten of the Heavenly List arrive, they should soon surpass him."

"Indeed, a Great Demon King is worth a base of a thousand merit points. Lu Chenzhou is disadvantaged by starting too late."

"Those in the top ten of the Heavenly List are here betting on whether they can ascend to Great Grandmaster. Among a bunch of Grandmasters over sixty years old, there’s Lu Chenzhou, who isn’t even forty yet."

...

Deep within the minor realm.

A place where toxic mist miasma fosters, this is the [Black Bone Swamp], enveloped all year round by corrosive toxic fog, also the headquarters of the Demon King Hall.

"I am so angry, what reverse-slay my seat, I was just careless and didn’t dodge, once I recover my strength, next time we meet, I will certainly kill him!"

The Earth Shattering Ancestor roared.

Although it retained its life, its realm almost fell from the Great Demon King, and it is now stabilizing its realm.

"Hahaha, Earth Shattering, can you handle this? Being beaten down by a mere human Grandmaster, what a disgrace."

A Great Demon King, draped in shining metallic black feathers with the body of a man and head of a crow, laughed grotesquely as it approached.

The Black Death Great Demon King, its true form being a [Crow Demon], venerates the deity [Lord of Doom] in the [Black Crow Forbidden Zone].

This god is mysterious and powerful.

Its divine authority is related to death.

"Hmph, Black Death, don’t get cocky. If you faced the same situation as mine, you wouldn’t fare any better."

The Earth Shattering Ancestor snorted coldly.

The Black Death Great Demon King is much stronger than him, already a Middle Realm Great Demon King, ranked eighteenth in the Demon King Hall.
