Chapter 578: The Times Have Changed, Nine Tribulations Seal the Demon

"Lu Xun?"

The green-clad man saw the person in front of Old Master Fu.

That was Lu Xun.

What he found somewhat surprising was,

His casual strike just now looked simple, but an ordinary Eighth Realm cultivator could absolutely not block it.

Lu Xun actually shattered his attack with ease.

This made him notice Lu Xun.

"Not bad, it's me. I should be calling you uncle, or what?"

Lu Xun said lightly.

The situation is now very clear.

The green-clad man could not dispel Fu Tianze's obsession; his annoyance turned to anger, so he wanted to wipe out the entire Fu family.

These reincarnators are indeed cold-blooded.

In this life, everything—including family, including one's own flesh and blood, even the most beloved—can be abandoned.

"This matter has nothing to do with you; if you insist on meddling, I don't mind killing you as well."

The green-clad man's eyes showed killing intent.

"Tianze, have you gone mad?! They are your family!!"

Old Master Fu still wanted to strive for it.

"Tianze!"

"Open your eyes and look—I'm Xiuzhen, they are Little Yue and Little Xue, they are your daughters..."

Xu Xiuzhen, aided by Fu Yue and Fu Xue, flew up and also wanted to strive for it.

She had been injured by Fu Tianze before, leading her to seclude herself for many years.

With great effort she emerged, reaccepted him, but it was still to no avail.

The green-clad man's gaze upon the Fu family members held no emotion.

"They are not."

The green-clad man shook his head slightly: "My family has long been dead in the past."

Those words hit Xu Xiuzhen like a heavy blow, her face turning even paler.

"So... you... you're not him... all these years, have you been acting?"

Xu Xiuzhen lost all her strength.

If not for the two girls holding her up, she would have already collapsed limp on the ground.

"I knew it..."

Fu Xue's expression was ice-cold.

She had always felt something was off, but couldn't say what.

Now, she finally knew.

As for Fu Yue, she was deeply disappointed.

"Saying more is useless; it's time to end all this."

The green-clad man saw no need for more talk.

He raised his sword, aiming to annihilate the entire Fu family in one strike.

"That works too."

Lu Xun's voice suddenly rang out.

Then, his finger twitched slightly.

The green-clad man sensed something was off, swiftly turned his head toward Lu Xun: "What did you do?"

Because,

He discovered he could not mobilize even a trace of heavenly and earthly power; even the laws of heaven and earth were no longer usable by him.

"Since you refuse to acknowledge your identity in this world, the world has no need to acknowledge you; this heaven and earth are rejecting you—haven't you noticed?"

Lu Xun said lightly.

"Impossible!"

After the green-clad man verified again, he showed an expression of disbelief.

Even if the several prefectural masters were present, they could not achieve this.

And how could Lu Xun possibly do that?

It has only been twenty or thirty years since he went into seclusion.

For ordinary people, twenty or thirty years can be called half a lifetime; the finest moments of a life are also concentrated in those twenty or thirty years.

But for cultivators, especially Nine Realms cultivators, twenty or thirty years amounts to nothing.

Even if Lu Xun is a rare genius of the world, and he is not a reincarnator or anything like that, how could he have come into contact with the laws of heaven and earth in just twenty or thirty years?

No, this is not contact.

This already counts as mastery.

This is impossible!

Even the Tenth Realm cannot master it!

Unless... this Tenth Realm becomes the Lord of the Spirit Star!

But Lu Xun is so young; how could he be the Lord of the Spirit Star!

"There's nothing impossible, uncle; the times have changed, you have already been buried by the old era."

Lu Xun said.

"No!"

The man in green clothes did not believe.

He suddenly gathered his strength, activated the War Character Technique, and attacked Lu Xun.

As a Tribulation Transcending powerhouse, even if he cannot use the power of heaven and earth, borrowing the might of laws, his combat power remains terrifying.

But,

Facing his attack, Lu Xun merely flicked his finger and easily resolved it.

"No!"

The man in green clothes still refused to believe, having exhausted all means, yet he had no way against Lu Xun at all.

With Lu Xun's current strength, plus being the master of Lan Xing, even if the man in green clothes is a reincarnated being, no matter how many means he has, he cannot do anything to him.

The opponent's former strength was inferior to Gu Yao's.

Before Gu Yao's reincarnation, he was a Red Dust Immortal.

Before his reincarnation, the man in green clothes should have been at the twelfth or thirteenth level.

In Lu Xun's speculation, he should have been hopeless to ascend immortality, and facing the limit of his lifespan, he had no choice but to risk reincarnation.

He belonged to a relatively ancient powerhouse.

If he had no relation to Lu Xun, Lu Xun might not want to get involved in this matter.

But since it involves the Fu family, involving Fu Yue and Fu Xue, Lu Xun cannot but intervene.

Moreover, if the man in green clothes successfully passes the heavenly tribulation and then continues to maintain a harmonious and blissful scene, Lu Xun might not cause extra trouble.

But since he wants to destroy the Fu family.

Lu Xun definitely needs to intervene.

That's fine too.

This proves,

Fu Tianze has not yet completely dissipated.

Lu Xun uses the Nine Tribulations Demon-Locking Formation, and there is still hope.

With Lu Xun's current cultivation and formation attainment, even if the man in green clothes does not cooperate, we can still set up the Nine Tribulations Demon-Locking Formation.

Of course, Lu Xun is not in a hurry.

He is waiting,

Waiting for the man in green clothes' mindset to collapse.

He wants the man in green clothes to understand that the times have changed, it is no longer his era, and then his mindset will explode, leading to despair.

That would be smoother.

Otherwise, Lu Xun could have taken him down right from the start.

"Don't even think about stopping me!"

Seeing that multiple attacks were ineffective against Lu Xun, the man in green clothes ruthlessly launched an attack on the Fu family.

But it was still useless.

He didn't even see how Lu Xun moved, and all his attacks were resolved by Lu Xun.

"No~"

The man in green clothes' spirit was already somewhat abnormal, and now being stimulated by Lu Xun makes it even worse.

He appeared demon-possessed, continuously launching attacks.

Lu Xun's gaze was an even greater stimulation to her.

That gaze was like looking at a pitiful creature.

He used to be a powerhouse renowned across the starry sky; how could he withstand such a gaze?

But unfortunately, he now has no way against Lu Xun at all.

"It's time to end."

Lu Xun decided it was about enough, and lightly pressed his hand.

Instantly,

The man in green clothes was then suppressed, unable to move.

Immediately after, Lu Xun stepped forward and repeatedly tapped his fingers on the man in green clothes' body, sealing his power.

The man in green clothes wanted to struggle, but could not break free at all.

He made up his mind and wanted to use his trump card.

He used to be a thirteenth-level cultivator, although inferior to Gu Yao, but he also left something in the reincarnation mark.

"I once had my name spread across the starry sky, my might shook billions of star domains; my voice was like thunder piercing the ears, my momentum like the heavenly river overturning, causing the heavenly stars to dim, and all beings of the myriad worlds hearing it would bow down. You, a mere ant, are you worthy to be my opponent?"

In his chilling words, the man in green clothes ruthlessly unleashed his trump card.

His aura surged, instantly breaking free of all restraints.

"Oh?"

Just as he thought he could turn the tide, Lu Xun let out a light 'oh'.

Then,

Lu Xun's palm lightly patted.

That pat directly dispersed that power within his body.

He ultimately was no match for Gu Yao.

"How could this be!!!"

The man in green robes was greatly startled.

"How could it not work!"

Lu Xun directly employed Chaos Power, re-establishing the seal.

"It's time to end this."

"&*！@~

Then, Lu Xun spat out a long string of incantations.

The violently struggling man in green robes tilted his head and actually fell asleep.

This is the Sleeping Spell.

Against the Nine Realms, it normally wouldn't take effect so easily, but because it was cast by Lu Xun, and furthermore the man in green robes had been tormented for half a day, his body and mind both collapsed.

Thus he was successfully captured by Lu Xun.

Now.

One can now set up the Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation.

This time, compared to Gu Yao's previous attempt, it is far too simple.

Lu Xun's fingers tapped repeatedly, quickly laying the formation on the man in green robes.

This Nine Tribulations Lock Demon Formation was further perfected by Lu Xun.

During this process, the Fu family members watched from afar, without coming to disturb.

They trusted Lu Xun.
