Chapter 250: with translation of chapter title

The tactics are correct; I hope the strength gap isn't too large.

In Rong Cheng, Lu Xun, who was scorching the demon seed, was also paying attention to this war.

After breaking through to the fourth realm in martial cultivation, Lu Xun's Heavenly Dao Eye could endure for much longer.

The high-ranking officials of Lan Xing naturally have capable people.

In the high martial era, the high-ranking officials are all top experts above the eighth boundary.

How could it be stupid?

Their tactics are superb, using the Star-Annihilation Cannon to restrain part of the demon experts while placing the main breakthrough on those floating islands.

Those floating islands are the foundations of the starry teleportation array; destroying one will slow the descent of the demon star somewhat.

If enough are destroyed, the demon star may not be able to come, and Lan Xing's crisis will naturally be resolved.

The biggest problem with the Star-Annihilation Cannon is that after firing, it needs at least an hour to recharge.

This drawback is unavoidable for such massive weapons.

In pure destructive power, the Star-Annihilation Cannon is a bit more ferocious than an eighth-boundary cultivator.

The charging time is naturally long.

Fortunately, Lan Xing has enough Star-Annihilation Cannons, totaling over a thousand.

With so many Star-Annihilation Cannons, if used well and combined with Lan Xing's experts, it may not be impossible to stop the demon star's descent.

Yes, Lu Xun saw through the intention of Lan Xing's high-ranking officials.

Their plan is not to fight the demon star to the death.

But to destroy the transmission array and prevent the demon star's descent.

"Finally going to burn it!"

The demon seed inside Chu Yuping's heart is finally going to be burned by Lu Xun.

He actually didn't spend much time on it.

From the outbreak of the demon vines to the appearance of the demon star, only a few minutes passed.

Just then, suddenly,

A will surged out from the demon seed and rushed toward Lu Xun.

"Hmph!"

Lu Xun's will condensed into a blade and slammed forward.

"Not good!"

But the next second, that will actually shattered Lu Xun's will and violently rushed into his sea of consciousness.

Lu Xun's whole body momentarily froze.

In his sea of consciousness, a blood-red demon vine grew wildly, turning into a towering giant vine.

Lu Xun's conscious manifestation appeared, stirring up a storm, trying to shatter the invading will.

"Trivial twigs."

The blood-red demon vine lightly swept, shattering all of Lu Xun's attacks.

"So strong... This is definitely not an ordinary demon king!"

Lu Xun felt it was troublesome.

The demon seeds were all burned away, yet a will within them was this strong.

This will is merely a strand of the demon seed's owner.

A mere strand of will is this formidable; how could an ordinary demon king possess it?

Demon kings are Six Realms.

Lu Xun now is also a genuine Six Realms.

His martial will is not inferior to Six Realms, his mental power and divine sense likewise.

Even a strand of will from a Seventh Boundary Great Demon King could not be a match for Lu Xun.

Therefore, the owner of this demon seed is likely an Eighth Boundary Heavenly Demon King.

No, it's more likely a Nine Realms Demon Emperor.

An Eighth Boundary Heavenly Demon King's strand of will could not be this formidable.

It can only be the will of a Demon Emperor.

"So saying, the demon seed in my father-in-law happens to be the strongest one in all of Rong Cheng?"

Lu Xun felt a headache.

What luck does his father-in-law have.

He actually had a demon seed planted by a ninth-boundary demon emperor.

And then Lu Xun encountered him.

Lu Xun said he was very unlucky.

For Lan Xing, this is actually a good thing.

Because this most powerful demon seed did not erupt, the pressure on Lan Xing is much less than that on other major cities.

If this demon seed erupted, even sixth-boundary cultivators would find it extremely difficult to cope.

"A human actually possessing demon power—you must be that ancient demon, right?"

After the blood-red demon vine shattered Lu Xun's attack, it did not continue attacking him but instead emitted a sound.

Huh?

It mistook Lu Xun for an ancient demon!

Indeed, Lu Xun is human yet possesses demon power, and also has the Southern Ming Separation Fire, a great killer.

From the perspective of the blood-colored demon vine, Lu Xun really does resemble the ancient demon.

After all, it is merely a wisp of the demon emperor's will, not the demon emperor himself.

So, the demon star really came this time for the ancient demon?

"Who are you?

Lu Xun's heart stirred, he clasped his hands behind his back, and his entire demeanor changed.

Although he still looks young, he gives off an aura of profound, unfathomable vicissitude.

"You don't need to know who this emperor is; I didn't expect you to be this weak. Since that's the case, your body belongs to this emperor!"

After the demon emperor's will finished speaking, the blood-colored demon vine began to unleash its power.

He intends to tear apart Lu Xun's sea of consciousness, destroy his soul, and seize his body.

"They actually came for the ancient demon's body!"

Lu Xun instantly understood.

He still thought the demon clan wanted to welcome back the ancient demon.

But if welcoming back the ancient demon, why go to such great trouble?

As it turns out, these demon folk aren't trying to welcome back the ancient demon at all; they want to occupy his body.

"Come on!"

Lu Xun simply didn't believe he could not overcome even a mere wisp of the demon emperor's will.

"This is my sea of consciousness, my turf!"

In the sea of consciousness, countless towering giant cannons suddenly appeared around Lu Xun.

He directly replicated the star-annihilating cannon into the sea of consciousness.

This is naturally not the real star-annihilating cannon.

In the sea of consciousness, combat sometimes doesn't need to be so by-the-book.

Whatever is powerful, that's how it comes.

This is his turf.

"Give it to me!"

"Boom boom boom~"

The star-annihilating cannon in the sea of consciousness let out a roaring sound, blasting fiercely at the demon emperor's will.

"Do mi ka ha bi bi ne ba @#￥&（*&~"

While attacking, Lu Xun also tried Barbara's chant.

Unfortunately, in the sea of consciousness, chants are hard to take effect.

"Hmph!"

The demon emperor's will refused to yield and engaged Lu Xun in a great battle.

"Really hard to deal with!"

Lu Xun came to appreciate the terror of the Nine Realms.

Although he had the upper hand, completely eliminating the demon emperor's will would take considerable time.

This is merely a wisp of the opponent's will.

Continuing like this, even if he wins, the sea of consciousness will suffer some damage.

Just as the two were locked in an indecisive struggle,

Suddenly, a figure broke into Lu Xun's sea of consciousness.

"Is it her?"

Lu Xun froze.

The visitor was that ancient remnant, a silver-haired woman.

The silver-haired woman remained dazed.

She raised her head, glanced at Lu Xun, then at the demon emperor's will, and suddenly moved.

Only seeing her body flash, she appeared near the blood-colored demon vine, extended a finger, and pointed at the vine.

That blood-colored demon vine trembled as if it had suffered a heavy blow.

"How is this possible..."

Amidst the exclamations, the blood-colored demon vine collapsed with a boom, turning into countless points of light that dissipated.

"So powerful."

Lu Xun felt somewhat amazed.

This silver-haired woman is indeed a powerhouse on par with God Slave and God Slave's father.

After doing all that, she gave Lu Xun a dazed look and then silently vanished from his sea of consciousness.

"Good stuff."

Lu Xun then absorbed those points of light.

He felt these points of light could strengthen and refine his will.

"Zoning out again?"

A few seconds later, Lu Xun opened his eyes and found the silver-haired woman spacing out again in his inner mental space.

He didn't pay it any further mind, dispelled his demon power, and simultaneously retracted the battle flag.

"How are you, Lu Xun?"

Chu Youqing hurriedly asked.

"It should be fine; wait a while and see if it recovers. You guys stay here and guard, I'll go deal with the demon clan."

Lu Xun finished speaking and was about to leave.

Now Yao Xing has invaded, the situation is dire, and he naturally cannot just sit and watch.

"Lu Xun, I'm going with you."

Murong Wan also decided to join the fight.

She hadn't gone before, because Lu Xun was here.

"I'll go too; having Grandfather guard at home is enough."

Chu Youqing also needs to go.

"Okay."

Lu Xun didn't refuse, and together with the two women he charged out.

At this point, Rong Cheng's situation had not yet been fully brought under control.

There were too many demon vines; although some had been destroyed, a dozen or so remained.

Their strength was growing stronger and stronger.

"Hurry and flee!"

"Help~"

In a block, people were packed together.

In the sky, dense demon vines had already attacked.

"Boom boom boom~"

Just as people were despairing, dense fireballs appeared, completely blasting the attacking demon vines.

"Boom boom boom~"

Immediately afterward, more fireballs rushed toward the main body of the demon vines.

The demon vines sensed the danger, deploying many vines to block, but they could not stop it.

"Rumble~"

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, this demon vine was blown to pieces by Lu Xun.
