Chapter 750: Lu Xunyang, the Root of Strength is Unbeatable

The Grand Minister and the others came to a halt.

They knew that deep down, Ke Qingxuan actually hoped they would fly toward Ji Province, but she had no choice but to obey Chen Yan's orders.

"Hahahaha!"

A gray-robed person laughed loudly:

"With us here, no one can touch a hair on Chen Yan."

As he spoke, his eyes darted toward a certain spot, anger surfacing in his gaze:

"You lot of filth, why have you appeared at a time like this?"

Just then.

Under the illumination of the silver moon, several figures clad in white emerged from the forest atop a mountain peak.

There were six of them in total, each appearing to have jade bones and immortal airs, their star-like eyes brimming with spirit; they did not look like things of the mortal world, but rather like immortals from above the clouds.

The leader was draped in a moon-white robe, wide sleeves fluttering gently with the air currents, his eyes vacant as if they contained an entire galaxy.

He looked at the Grand Minister and the others and said:

"Lord Chen has entrusted us to stop you; as the price, we will not be coerced by the Five Clans in the future."

Beside him, a woman who looked like a celestial maiden from the Jade Terrace said softly:

"We have no intention of being enemies with the Great Xia, so we ask that you do not make things difficult for us."

The Grand Minister narrowed his eyes.

The Long-Lived.

In this world, there are indeed the Long-Lived; they care not for malice, care not for the mortal world, existing alone in the world, having attained longevity.

By casting aside one's own seven emotions and six desires, shaking off the corrosion of malice, and distancing oneself from the mortal world, one can attain longevity.

This is a group of beings who have long since detached themselves from the human world.

To think they would appear at this moment.

"The Long-Lived do not concern themselves with the mortal world, so why force yourselves to participate now?" a Great Xia gray-robed person spoke coldly.

"It is Lord Chen who coerced us," the leading man said.

"Hmph." The Grand Minister, the little nun, sneered:

"Lord Chen wishes to castrate the Great Xia to slow the rate at which malice is born in the mortal world; this is what you want to see most, isn't it?

On the contrary, it is we in the Great Xia who have always resisted the Five Clans, making the possibility of the Ancient Gods awakening greater, which is why we disturbed your beautiful dream of longevity."

As the Grand Minister's voice fell, the leading man chuckled:

"That is one way of looking at it. You are all powerful Eighth-Rankers, why care about the mortal masses?

Why not join us in detaching from the world and enjoying the eternal joy of longevity?"

He narrowed his eyes:

"As long as the Ancient Gods do not awaken, no one can stop us from enjoying this, right?"

He raised his body.

Is longevity boring?

Not at all.

It is truly more joyful the longer one lives.

Those who say longevity is boring are all mediocre people incapable of achieving it.

He, for one, still wants to live another five thousand years.

Yet, this group from the Great Xia insists on resisting Lord Chen's plan.

Once a person dies, malice is born.

Generation after generation, life and death—how many years, how much malice?

If this continues, it would be strange if the Ancient Gods didn't awaken.

Then how would they have longevity?

Therefore, Lord Chen's Great Xia castration plan is what best aligns with the desires of these Long-Lived ones.

This is also why Lord Chen can utilize them.

But only this once.

They will only act this one time, after which they will disappear again.

The Great Xia will not be able to find them, and the Five Clans will have no way to utilize them.

They do not want to offend anyone, nor do they want to ruin their eternal longevity because of the Great Xia and the Five Clans.

A Xia-clan gray-robed person said in a deep voice:

"You have seen it too; Chen Yan is a Master of Martial Dao. Are you sure you still want to intercept us?"

"Master of Martial Dao?"

The white-robed woman said:

"Although the True Martial path is unique, Chen Yan is definitely not a Master of Martial Dao; whether it is Qi-blood or hard-body tempering, both are old-fashioned martial arts.

He may be a pioneer, but he is not a Master of Martial Dao.

The new martial dao of the mortal world is only the path of Will."

The gray-robed person snorted coldly.

It seems these Long-Lived ones are determined to intercept them.

"By intercepting us, you may not offend Lord Chen, but are you not afraid that our Great Xia will exterminate you and cut off your path to longevity?" the Little Fate-Master spoke in a chilling voice.

"That depends on whether you can withstand Lord Chen in the future," the white-robed man laughed:

"If you win, then we deserve to have chosen wrongly today."

"But I still advise you all not to make things difficult for us."

He spread his hands and said:

"We only wish to live."

The Grand Minister's expression grew increasingly unsightly, and just as he was about to speak—

"Enough with the nonsense!"

The rage in the eyes of the Mountain-Suppressing Divine General could no longer be suppressed:

"A bunch of parasites who gorge on the opportunities of the mortal world, only to hide away once you become powerful and ignore the world—are you trying to teach me how to do my job?!"

Boom!!!

A blood-colored saber appeared in his hand, and the next instant, he slashed directly at one of the Immortals.

"Dare to block our path? I'll hack you bunch of parasites to death!"

The man in the white robe was stunned; feeling the powerful killing intent surging from the Mountain-Suppressing Divine General, he sighed slightly:

"Lord Chen, oh Lord Chen, you really are..."

He reached out a hand, his wide sleeves fluttering; the cuffs seemed like an abyss capable of containing heaven and earth, giving birth to a powerful suction force.

"Making enemies for us."

But the very next instant.

A squelching sound.

The blood-colored saber fell, and one of his arms was severed clean off; the Mountain-Suppressing Divine General had already struck, his eyes roaring with fury:

"A bunch of beasts who only know how to skulk—do you really think your Eighth Rank is the same as mine?!"

Clatter!!!

The saber light descended, endless killing intent fully revealed, and a powerful burst of energy erupted.

The white-robed man's physical body was slashed open; his eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

Just as he was about to dodge, he was struck from behind by a jade ruler.

The Grand Minister, holding the divine artifact Star Ruler, had appeared behind him at some unknown moment; starlight spilled from the ruler, altering the rules of this place.

"No!" the white-robed man roared.

Squelch!

The Star Ruler had already pierced his heart.

He heard the roar of the Mountain-Suppressing Divine General in his ears:

"I fight life-and-death battles every single day, and you want to trade blows with me?

You trash, go to hell with your path of immortality!"

Boom!!!

Heaven and earth wept blood; an Eighth Rank had fallen!

The white-robed man opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at the firmament.

Am I dead?

He was utterly stunned.

But the next moment, he regained his composure; he was not yet dead.

Having skulked for ten thousand years, how could he not have some life-saving measures?

As an Immortal, it would be most shameful if he couldn't even keep his life.

He possessed a technique for substituting death.

Even if this body died, his consciousness would be born anew within another physical body ten thousand miles away.

If he wasn't dead, then who had died?

At the same time.

Ji Province, above the void.

"Lu Xunyang!!!"

The roaring voice of the Lord of Lu came from within the vast universe.

Blood sprinkled the starry sky.

The Fifth Elder of Lu Province was struck into a bloody mist by Lu Xunyang and fell!

"Fifth Elder!"

Within the borders of Lu Province, those who learned of this event cried out in grief.

The Lord of Lu had arrived with the six great elders, but now only four remained, and they had been heavily wounded by Lu Xunyang.

The Lord of Lu was now covered in gashes, no longer possessing his previous domineering posture; the light flames upon his body were flickering, looking like withered grass swaying in the wind.

The Lord of Ji gasped violently, blood still dripping from the long spike in his hand.

The next instant, the Lord of Ji's figure flickered, appearing before the Lord of Lu, and he thrust the long spike toward Lu Xunyang, who was attacking the Lord of Lu.

Lu Xunyang struck with a fist, red clouds swirling around it, the aura of life and death echoing.

"I Alone Through Ten Thousand Ages!!!"

Layers of rule-based auras exploded, and the rule-based techniques currently being cast by the Lord of Lu and the Lord of Ji failed completely.

Bang!!!

The fist collided with the spike, and the spike instantly pierced through Lu Xunyang's fist.

But there was no joy on the Lord of Ji's face; instead, he was even more wary.

Boom boom boom boom!!!!

Powerful force, like the impact of mountain ranges, erupted from Lu Xunyang's body, rolling along the spike embedded in his fist and into the arm of the Lord of Ji.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!!!

The arm of the Ji Sovereign began to tremble violently; skin and flesh were torn by powerful force, and bones shattered inch by inch.

Boom!!!

One of the Ji Sovereign's arms exploded instantly.

"Hmph!"

A sharp pain struck, and the Ji Sovereign let out a muffled groan, but she had no time to pause, for the fist of Lu Xunyang was striking again.

"Divine Phoenix!"

The Ji Sovereign let out a low roar, her entire body igniting with flames, transforming into phoenixes that surged forward.

The phoenixes shrieked sharply, pouncing toward Lu Xunyang to kill.

"Trash martial technique!"

Lu Xunyang spoke indifferently, waving his fists, striking the phoenixes until they shattered instantly.

His moves were plain and unremarkable, yet he was like the most simple and devout martial artist; within his two fists lay endless truth, the very origin of the Martial Dao.

Pure and powerful.

No matter how profound the technique, under Lu Xunyang's fists, it shattered like fragile glass with a crackling sound.

The Lu Sovereign, blood streaming from his body like a pillar, exchanged a glance with the Ji Sovereign, both seeing the horror in the depths of each other's eyes.

Lu Xunyang had become even stronger.

More pure than before, more majestic than before.

This time Lu Xunyang did not have the Xia Sovereign Sword; if Lu Xunyang had the Xia Sovereign Sword, could the Chen Sovereign block him?

Are the Ancient God Beasts within the Ancient God Forbidden Land all fucking useless?

However, they also understood that if Lu Xunyang did not die, he must have endured endless tempering.

There was a reason for such strength.

And there was more.

The Ji Sovereign and the Lu Sovereign looked downward.

Now, Chen Yan and Xia Yuan had joined forces, driving the three Marshals of Ji Province, including Ji Yanqing, into a steady retreat.

The Sixth-Order and Creation Realm experts who had rushed from all over Ji Province were being harvested by them like straw.

At this moment, a look of despair finally appeared in the eyes of the Ji Sovereign.

Lu Xunyang was already terrifying enough, but there was also an even more monstrous Chen Yan.

If Chen Yan were given just a few more years, Chen Yan would surpass the current Lu Xunyang.

The opponent might not be the Sovereign of Martial Dao, but he was infinitely close.

"You go," the Ji Sovereign said, looking at the Lu Sovereign:

"Today is the day of my, Ji Ling's, death."

The Ji Sovereign raised her head, her vital energy dissipating, shaking off the blood from her body, and once again became the noble and cold Empress of Ji Province.

"I, Ji Ling, am the first Empress of Ji Province in ten thousand years.

To be an Empress, one must take the nation as bone and the common people as blood.

This is not a death in vain, but the glory of destiny!"

Her eyes were set on death, and as her voice descended, wails echoed across the entire land of Ji Province.

"The Empress!!!"

"It is finished!"

"From now on, my Ji Province will have no more Empress."

"Why claim the title of Empress, why did you claim the title of Empress back then? The nation of my Ji Province is to be destroyed this day!"

The Lu Sovereign's expression was sinister:

"You are kidnapping me!"

He roared; the Ji Sovereign was deep in schemes, and the more she acted this way, the more Lu Ya would be despised by the world and become a laughingstock if he retreated now.

"I am not," the Ji Sovereign said coldly.

"Hahahaha!!!" The Lu Sovereign, bathed in blood, suddenly gave a ferocious laugh and looked at Lu Xunyang:

"Lu Xunyang, it was I, Lu Ya, who was wrong. I do not hate myself for suppressing you; I only hate that I was too mindful of blood ties back then and did not kill you with my own hands, letting you escape from Lu Province!!!"

As he spoke, he raised his arms as if in a ritual, and a scarlet blood mist rose around him.

"Open!"

Roar!

A lion's roar that shattered the void resounded through the universe; his spine suddenly split open, and nine ferocious lion heads emerged from the churning flesh and blood.

Each lion head was as large as a star, its golden mane burning like flames, and poisonous saliva that could corrode the galaxy dripped from its fangs.

Lu Xunyang, having blasted the fire phoenix with one punch, looked on indifferently:

"I told you long ago, do not pursue these flashy things; why didn't you listen?"

"I didn't listen..." The Lu Sovereign's eyes widened:

"Then come and kill me!"

Roar!!!

The lion heads roared, golden thunder bellowed, and as the golden fur exploded, golden thunder burst forth, shooting out pillars of pure golden Kun Secret Flowing Thunder.

"I said it, too flashy!"

Lu Xunyang shattered space and charged upward, his right fist wrapped in red clouds that collapsed the rules, blasting through the golden thunder and smashing plainly and unadornedly into the central lion head.

Boom!

The first lion head had just opened its massive maw to bite when a fist force pierced into its throat; terrifying golden lightning erupted, and the lion head exploded like a watermelon.

The Master of Lu's expression changed wildly, but the next instant.

Boom!

The second lion head exploded!

Roar!

A blood dragon struck out from the Master of Lu's chest, instantly piercing through Lu Xunyang's abdomen.

The next instant, however, the Master of Lu saw Lu Xunyang's eyes, which were as indifferent as ice.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Lu Xunyang continued to throw punches.

The Master of Ji attacked, but was met directly by a punch from Lu Xunyang that was as heavy as the ocean.

Pfft!

A sharp spike pierced through Lu Xunyang's heart, but it did not slow Lu Xunyang's striking speed by even a fraction.

He was simply like a humanoid combat machine.

Possessing an undying will, Lu Xunyang did not care at all about mere fatal wounds.

The Master of Ji spat out blood, her expression pained; at this moment, she had also been beaten into a state of severe injury, feeling as though she were on the verge of death.

She breathed with difficulty, looked down at Chen Yan below, and finally closed her eyes.

Even though she had seen the prophecy of Chen Qi, even though she knew what would happen in the future.

But at this moment, there was no choice left.

"My Lord, give the order!" Ji Yanqing's voice rang out.

At this moment, Ji Yanqing was also retreating steadily, his physical body broken and ruined.

The Master of Ji gritted her silver teeth:

"That is an army of hundreds of thousands, the very foundation of my Ji Province's military!"

Her entire body was trembling.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Within the void.

The dull thuds of collapsing skulls and the hissing of gushing beast blood intertwined; the entire void was occupied by blood and wild lightning.

With a loud boom.

When the last lion head was ground into pulp by the fist wind, the Master of Lu knelt down amidst the shattered star remains.

"My Lord!!!"

Beneath the vast firmament, a powerhouse of Lu Province cried out, unwilling to believe the scene unfolding before their eyes.

The Master of Lu was about to fall.

About to be beaten to death by Lu Xunyang.

Within the Five Clans territory, countless people were suffocating.

Lu Xunyang, his strength was fundamentally invincible.
