Chapter 129: Enslaving the Heavenly Dao!

Qi Luo Empress scattered nearly all of her divine soul power, instantly suppressing the great hand formed from the will of Heavenly Dao.

"No wonder the Empress suddenly said she wanted to improve the pulling technique back then—turns out it was for this!"

At this moment, Lu Chen basically understood the Empress's intention and immediately followed her up into the sky.

"I'll hold it off for a moment—you quickly enter the void and find its true will! At this moment, the body formed by its will is suppressed by me, which is precisely when its true body is most vulnerable!"

Qi Luo Empress transmitted her voice to Lu Chen with a frail and weak body.

"Understood."

Lu Chen did not hesitate; he knew how much the Empress had sacrificed for this moment.

He employed every evasion technique, and his figure instantly pierced into the void.

The next moment, he arrived in a special space.

"Is this the space where the true body of Heavenly Dao resides?"

This space is extremely illusory—let alone finding the true body of Heavenly Dao, even determining the simplest direction is probably difficult.

"Don't be confused—just walk around randomly! The space where Heavenly Dao's true body resides is not large; once you get close to it, you will trigger its self-protection mechanism, and then you will be able to find it!"

The Empress's voice transmission arrived just in time.

Lu Chen immediately complied, his figure flying about in this illusory space like a headless fly.

Soon, he actually sensed a trace of abnormality.

"This is? Lu Huoyan?"

Lu Chen suddenly seemed to see the shadow of his Sword Devil.

Upon closer look, the other party merely resembled Lu Huoyan in appearance.

At this moment, the other party was pitifully gazing at him.

"Young Master Lu, can you really bear to strike a helpless girl like me?"

"Is this Heavenly Dao?" Lu Chen looked at the woman opposite him, expression surprised, "It even knows how to act coquettish?"

At this moment, the Empress's voice transmission appeared again: "Heavenly Dao's will incarnates according to what a person holds in their heart—do not be deceived by it."

Immediately, he understood why the other party resembled Lu Huoyan so closely.

Because they were both formed according to what each held in their heart.

Looking at the other party's pitiful appearance, Lu Chen felt a brief pang of pity, then raised his hand to prepare to cast the pulling technique.

But just then, the other party's expression suddenly turned furious.

"You clueless wretch!"

In an instant, the original girl transformed into a ferocious giant beast, terrifying beyond compare.

It immediately lunged at Lu Chen.

But at this moment, Lu Chen's pulling technique had already been completed.

However... it takes time for the technique to fully take effect after completion.

This space is not large; even if Lu Chen wanted to run, he cannot escape.

"Next time I must have the Empress improve this again—otherwise, the activation time of this pulling technique is too tormenting!"

He thought helplessly, then immediately deployed every defensive means he could muster.

Fortunately, after the previous replenishment, the Yin Demon Substitute Death Curse can now be reused.

Otherwise, even with Heavenly Dao's true body, given his current cultivation realm, he would absolutely be unable to contend with it.

"Boom!"

The beast formed from Heavenly Dao attacked with increasing speed, as if it had realized it was truly being influenced by Lu Chen.

"How did you do this?! I am clearly Heavenly Dao!"

Heavenly Dao's will spoke in words Lu Chen could understand.

Lu Chen did not answer; if he distracted himself now, the consequence might be death.

"Impossible..."

"How exactly did you do this?!"

After a full hundred breaths, Lu Chen exhausted every possible defensive item from his storage bag, and only then did Heavenly Dao's true body finally cease its attack.

The next moment, he felt that in his sea of consciousness, another special power had appeared besides Su Qian, Mu Hanyu, and Luan Yue.

This power is linked to the seal chain and is precisely the key to Lu Chen pulling them.

"Pulling successful?"

Although he sensed the appearance of this special power, Lu Chen still felt it was unreal.

After all, enslaving Heavenly Dao in this way is still too extraordinary.

If the Empress had not just mentioned it, he probably would not have thought of this approach.

Outside, Qi Luo Empress's divine soul power was nearly exhausted; at the last moment, she finally felt the attack desire of Heaven and Earth's will diminish.

"Did Lu Chen succeed?"

The Empress felt astonished in her heart.

To be honest, her doing this was also a gamble.

She was betting that Lu Chen could truly control Heavenly Dao's will.

Since seeing the existence of the Chaos Heaven Banner from Youxiang back then, her heart had been brewing this plan.

The reason she took such a risk was also because she had no choice.

Of course, it was also due to her nature.

There was a time when she herself had once fought Heavenly Dao alone; otherwise, as a mere demon cultivator, how could she have reached the Emperor-Inquiring Realm?

The reason she said she had no choice was because the Ming Clan's Ming Tian Yao Ming clearly knew of her existence; if she took no action, soon the other party would influence this realm through the connection between Heaven and Earth's will, arrive here, and reach this place.

At that time, with only a wisp of her remnant soul and Lu Chen being merely a minor Cave Heaven realm cultivator, there was no way he could possibly be a match for her.

Therefore, she had no choice but to resort to such a method as enslaving the Heavenly Dao.

Once successful, among the myriad worlds and countless realms, the opposing party would be unable to discern their specific location through the will of the Heavenly Dao, thus greatly delaying their appearance.

Given Lu Chen's cultivation speed, she believed it would not take long before she could regain her physical body, at which point they could together return to slaughter their way back to the Night Ming Ancient Realm.

"I never expected it to actually succeed."

The Empress sighed again.

When she made the decision, she estimated the success rate to be one in a million.

Even as she was a mere Demon Empress, she rarely undertook such an endeavor with such an extremely low probability.

As it turned out, she never imagined it would actually succeed.

"Lu Chen indeed possesses secrets even I am unaware of."

As she spoke, the Empress suddenly thought of something: "Could it be related to that disciple of Ming Tianyao?"

This thought had barely formed when she immediately interrupted herself.

Dwelling on these matters now is pointless; what matters is getting Lu Chen to come out quickly and deal with Yun Shu and the others.

By then, it will be necessary to hurry to the south and find Youhuang.

As Youhuang is an incarnation of Ming Tianyao, if information about this place were leaked through other means, then all that has been done today would be in vain.

Thinking this, she immediately dragged her soul form and flew into the void, using voice transmission to call for Lu Chen to come out.

It seemed she was too anxious, almost forgetting that her current soul power was extremely weak.

"Not good, this void will devour souls."

Fortunately, Lu Chen appeared in time, shielding her soul; otherwise, she would likely have already been reduced to ashes.

"Empress Sister, you look rather insubstantial."

Lu Chen glanced at the Empress in his arms and teased.

"Hmph, rest assured, once this matter is settled, it won't be me who is insubstantial."

Suddenly, Lu Chen regretted teasing her so much.

The Empress's soul power has been completely exhausted; to recover, there are only two methods.

One is to borrow external objects, the other is to frenziedly absorb and supplement.

"Empress Sister, when the time comes, please be gentle."
