Chapter 523

"Haha, Lu Xun, you have rendered great merit this time."

When Lu Xun emerged from the Heavenly Dao Battlefield, Secretary Xu burst into laughter.

This time, the primordial essence Lu Xun obtained for Lan Xing was even greater.

"Clang—"

Then.

Accompanied by the cry of the phoenix.

The little phoenix has returned.

After staying on that elemental star for several months, it gained much.

Now the little phoenix's strength is comparable to the Seven Realms.

If given more time to digest its gains and undergo another transformation, even facing the Eight Realms, the little phoenix would not fear at all.

Its growth speed is also extremely astonishing.

After not seeing each other for several months, the little phoenix remains extremely affectionate toward Lu Xun.

After Lu Xun fed it some phoenix true flame, the little phoenix lazily went to sleep.

Lu Xun placed it into his inner space.

"Lu Xun, this is your reward..."

Immediately afterward, the Martial Manor Master personally gave Lu Xun a large pile of rewards.

Including Dark Energy, rare heavenly-earthly spiritual treasures, and a trump card personally crafted by the Martial Manor Master capable of dealing with the Nine Realms.

Lu Xun accepted them all.

"Little Xun, come on, let's go have a big drink."

Elder Fu arrived, inviting Lu Xun to the Fu residence.

Lu Xun agreed.

Meanwhile, the Rainbow Bridge began to disappear.

The massive Lan Xing began to move, preparing to leave this ancient route node.

In the depths of the starry sky, a huge conduit was taking shape.

This is the passage to the Dark Universe.

"Boom—"

Several hours later, just as Lan Xing was about to enter the Dark Universe.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere before the Dark Universe Passage.

Compared to the colossal Lan Xing, this figure seemed like a tiny speck.

Yet his appearance caused heaven and earth to tremble.

Lan Xing's speed slowed as a result.

On Lan Xing, countless people fell over.

If not for the layered formations protecting Lan Xing, this would have shattered mountains and split the earth, who knows how many buildings would suffer.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

On Lan Xing, countless people looked up at the sky.

They did not know what had happened.

They could not even see that figure, as tiny as an ant.

But,

Yet that minuscule figure, like a grain of sand, caused the faces of Lan Xing's high-ranking officials to change drastically.

"Tenth Realm!"

"Oh no, it's the Tenth Realm!"

Ahead of Lan Xing, large numbers of Eight and Nine Realm cultivators flew out.

The figure blocking the Dark Universe Passage was actually a Tenth Realm cultivator.

Although the opponent appeared small, the aura and pressure emanating from him left those Eight and Nine Realm cultivators barely able to breathe.

Even though Lan Xing's ascension has been nearly two hundred years.

Currently, the strongest on Lan Xing is merely at the Tribulation Crossing stage; no Tenth Realm has yet emerged.

And this Tenth Realm cultivator is clearly hostile.

He actually blocked the passage, preventing Lan Xing from entering the Dark Universe.

You should know,

In this ancient route node, as the cosmic primordial essence was jointly stolen by myriad spirit stars, it has become extraordinarily dangerous.

Around Lan Xing, countless passages are opening.

Vast numbers of starry-space alien species are surging in.

If Lan Xing cannot promptly enter the Dark Universe to leave, these starry-space alien species will eventually overwhelm Lan Xing.

After the other spirit stars depart, Lan Xing will become the sole target.

At that time, Lan Xing will face the starry-space alien species of the entire ancient route node.

That will be unbearable.

Even if it could withstand it, no one knows how great the loss would be.

Moreover, there is also a Tenth Realm cultivator to deal with.

"Let's first go see what he intends to do."

The Martial Manor Master said in a deep voice.

"Etiquette before force; if he does not yield, though the Tenth Realm is strong, we may still be able to fight."

An old man with white hair spoke.

This is the elder of the Ning family.

That is, the current Moon Master.

"Moon Master, I am with you."

Old Master Lu Wuda.

"Call those guys from the West."

The Eastern Nine Realms quickly reached a decision.

Seeing the Tenth Realm approaching, the Western Nine Realms also did not dare to be careless.

They likewise dispatched personnel.

Soon, several Nine Realms flew toward the Tenth Realm's Skeleton Angel.

"It's an angel!"

"Skeleton... how is this angel so strange."

Upon flying closer, these Nine Realms finally made out the Skeleton Angel's appearance.

This Skeleton Angel is tall and massive; its height alone exceeds two meters.

He bears bone wings nearly five meters wide, each wing bone like a carefully polished pale blade.

Its main body is a twisted human skeleton, but the ribs grow outward wildly, forming a cage-like structure; within the chest cavity floats a continually pulsing dark-red crystal, from which spiderweb-like blood filaments seep with each beat.

Most chilling is its skull, lacking a lower jaw; the stark white cranium tilts upward, and deep within its black eye sockets burn two clusters of eerie blue flames.

Twelve vertebrae extend from the rear of the skull like a thorn crown, their tips bearing tiny human finger bones, appearing horrifying.

"Why do you block our way!"

The Martial Manor Master released a mental pulse.

The Skeleton Angel's eyes, with two wisps of ghostly fire, swept over the many Nine Realms.

With his Tenth Realm strength, he naturally fears nothing from the Nine Realms.

However,

Fighting near Lan Xing, his power will be considerably suppressed; with so many Nine Realms combined, they may still be able to fight him.

Thus, the Skeleton Angel moved its hands, and suddenly a human image appeared before the many Nine Realms.

This person... is none other than Lu Xun!

Not Lu Xun when transformed into a chaotic giant dragon, but Lu Xun himself.

Although the Skeleton Angel has never seen Lu Xun, he was summoned by a witch through evil means.

From the witch he obtained information about Lu Xun.

"Hand him over, and I will depart."

Then,

The Skeleton Angel emitted a pulse.

"Lu Xun?"

As soon as the image appeared,

the Martial Manor Master immediately recognized Lu Xun.

Those who did not recognize him at first also learned who he was from others' reminders.

The Eastern Nine Realms involuntarily exchanged glances.

They all felt somewhat puzzled.

"How could he have provoked a Tenth Realm!"
