Chapter 155: Perfect True Intent! Beat to Death!

As time passed.

The troops of both sides continued to fight bloody battles on the open ground without ceasing.

Severed limbs and broken arms were everywhere, and fresh blood stained the nearby soil red.

The entire battlefield was thick with killing intent, and cries of slaughter rang out everywhere.

Bang bang bang...

In the sky tens of meters high, Lu Zhangsheng and Ye Yiyang relied on their great strength and agility to firmly block the innate puppet's attack.

Near the battlefield of the three, violent gales raged, and thunderous roars pierced the clouds.

According to the present situation, it is probably difficult to decide a winner in a short time.

This battle continued until evening.

The shouts of killing gradually ceased.

The warriors of both sides gradually retreated to the rear, preparing to accumulate strength for the next large-scale offensive.

Lu Zhangsheng and Ye Yiyang fell from the high altitude.

They stood still on an open space.

A large group of martial artists, led by several FuduDianZhu, surrounded them.

Everyone looked at Lu Zhangsheng's figure, filled with awe.

They had all witnessed Lu Zhangsheng's might in matching the innate puppet just earlier.

Their strength was clearly superior to Ye Yiyang's by a notch.

The position of First FuduDianZhu might soon change hands.

Everyone understood this clearly in their hearts.

Qin Ruobing and the people of the Second Sub-Hall all wore proud faces.

"Everyone immediately begin restoring stamina and healing injuries, preparing for the next decisive battle."

Lu Zhangsheng issued the order with a stern expression.

While speaking, he turned his head and scanned the surrounding figures.

Many were wounded, their breath disordered, and some had missing hands or feet, looking miserable.

On the distant battlefield, corpses lay shattered everywhere, mixed with various broken weapons.

The setting sun in the high sky was like blood; a gentle breeze blew, raising chills.

"We solemnly obey the orders of Hall Master Lu."

The people on the field clasped their fists, feeling somewhat disappointed in their hearts.

Many comrades who were just chatting and laughing turned into cold corpses in the blink of an eye.

Even they no longer had their previous full confidence.

Even the two top Heavenly Pride could not shatter that innate puppet.

Everyone present understood this clearly.

"Can we really win?"

Many harbored this question in their hearts.

Afterwards, everyone found a safe place and began to rest and recuperate.

The following half month.

The warriors of both sides launched several large-scale bloody battles near Moon Spirit Lake.

As with the first major battle, both sides left vast numbers of corpses before each retreated.

Lu Zhangsheng and Ye Yiyang merely temporarily held back that innate puppet, without breaking it.

Of course, those Tianyao Gate disciples also did not gain much advantage.

The entire world turned into a giant meat grinder, filled with endless bloody odor.

Even many government warriors increasingly lacked morale.

Many even suggested hiding, waiting for the world to cast them out.

Due to the heavy casualties, the momentum of the government side also weakened considerably.

That day, night, the moon was bright and the stars sparse.

At the center of a large camp.

Two small bamboo lodges were erected, appearing very exquisite.

Around the bamboo lodges, a large number of government warriors gathered, all looking with reverence at the central bamboo lodge.

These two bamboo lodges were precisely the residence of Lu Zhangsheng and the other person.

As top Heavenly Pride, they naturally had some privileges.

Lu Zhangsheng sat upright inside the bamboo lodge, eyes slightly closed.

A thread of consciousness, however, slowly sank into the pangolin's body.

At the center of the world, deep underground.

"Clang clang clang..."

Lu Zhangsheng waved his claws, quickly digging out the source crystal ahead.

From deep within his mind came repeated panel prompt sounds.

【Source Energy Points +10.】

【Source Energy Points +10.】

The resources in his hand continued to rise rapidly, making him quite pleased.

After this period of hard digging, the next point increase is not far away.

The night passed in silence.

The next day, at dawn.

Lu Zhangsheng slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in his gaze.

He opened the panel.

Source Energy Points: 58000.

"The origin crystals of the newborn world are indeed abundant."

He looked at the already illuminated Killing Intent, no longer hesitating, and immediately clicked.

As the Source Energy Points decreased by fifty thousand.

"Humm..."

A buzzing sound echoed in his mind, like the beating of an evening drum and morning bell, containing some mysterious Dao profundity.

At the same time, his understanding of Killing Intent was also rapidly increasing.

Killing is an end, and also a rebirth...

"Boom boom boom..."

Lu Zhangsheng's protective Xuan Gang around his body began to operate on its own, a powerful aura shooting straight into the clouds.

It also carried a brutal slaughterous aura, making the chests of everyone around tighten, as if a huge mountain pressed down, making it hard to breathe.

At the same time, a strand of essence and energy smoke broke through the bamboo building, gathering above his head in the high sky.

"Exhale..."

The essence and energy gradually solidified, forming a blood-red long sword hovering in the void.

Around, it seemed as if evil spirits were howling, carrying an intense bloody killing intent.

After this breakthrough, his strength increased by several levels again.

Do not underestimate these few levels; as the realm rises higher, each level of increase is extraordinarily astonishing.

Moreover, Lu Zhangsheng felt an illusory bridge in the dark.

This bridge is located at the connection between his Baihui acupoint at the top of his head and the void, extremely miraculous.

His entire body exuded an air of great perfection.

He had reached the pinnacle of mortals, and from ancient times to the present, no one could surpass this realm.

"Exhale."

Lu Zhangsheng gently exhaled a breath, as if strands of spiritual energy entered his body from the void, nourishing his flesh.

This change is truly astonishing.

One must know that only innate experts can sense the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, yet he now clearly felt it.

This is also due to Lu Zhangsheng's excessively deep foundation.

The great commotion of Lu Zhangsheng's breakthrough also attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

"What is this...?"

Many martial artists near the bamboo building, seeing this scene, were all shocked.

Everyone knew that this bamboo building was Lu Zhangsheng's residence.

Now that such an astonishing commotion has occurred, it must be that the other side's strength has made great progress.

This made the people's hearts feel as if a huge wave had been startled.

According to their knowledge, the other side had only just broken through not long ago, and now underwent an astonishing Metamorphosis, simply unbelievable.

With the great battle imminent, this also served as a stimulant injected into everyone's hearts, instantly boosting their confidence.

Qin Ruobing and many from the second sub-hall clenched their fists, faces full of excitement.

At this moment they also felt honored to be part of it.

The stronger Lu Zhangsheng's strength, the greater their benefits.

Everyone knows it's good to cool off under a big tree.

Even Wan Houyu and Nangong Lei, this group of FuduDianZhu, all fell silent, a hint of reverence appearing in their eyes.

No longer did any thought arise of contending with Lu Zhangsheng.

To contend with a powerhouse of aberrant talent is to seek death.

When a person's talent and strength far exceed their limits, no one will have the thought of competing.

It is simply resignation.

In another bamboo building.

"Tenfold true intent?"

Feeling such an astonishing aura, Ye Yiyang's face was filled with shock.

Such a smooth and uniform killing aura is definitely tenfold true intent.

Above that lies another realm.

This is also the realm he had long dreamed of; he never expected Lu Zhangsheng to achieve it so easily.

At this moment, he seemed to feel his heart beating thump-thump, a never-surrender belief surging in his chest.

His martial true intent had always been at ninefold, and now it began to increase unprecedentedly.

It seemed to have broken through some bottleneck.

"Squeak…"

Lu Zhangsheng pushed open the door and walked out.

Divine light blossomed in his eyes, and his face full of authority swept the whole room.

"We congratulate Hall Master Lu on his great achievement in the martial path."

Everyone on the stage clasped their hands in salute, faces full of reverence.

A resonant voice rang through the clouds.

Even the several FuduDianZhu—Wan Houyu and Nan Gonglei—were no exception, promptly performing the ceremony.

Those who can cultivate the true meaning of the martial path to the tenth stage are all "mutants". The name Lu Wudi will surely echo through Qingning Mansion.

Anyone who reaches this step can almost become a terrifying strongman above the primordial.

As long as they don't fall midway, there is no exception.

Their proud families, compared with Lu Zhangsheng, amount to nothing even of a fart.

At this moment, the arrogance in several hearts had already been shattered to powder.

Qin Ruobing watched Lu Zhangsheng's figure quietly, a faint ripple stirring in her heart.

She had also witnessed with her own eyes Lu Zhangsheng's rise from obscurity, step by step, to the present.

She had already left herself far behind; recalling that day in the mountain cave, a blush of red appeared on her face.

At this time, the bamboo pavilion door on the right was also pushed open, and Ye Yiyang slowly walked to Lu Zhangsheng's side, lagging half a step behind.

It was clear that Lu Zhangsheng was the leader.

Such detailed changes were also seen by everyone, increasing their awe of Lu Zhangsheng.

The two powerful auras collided in the void, soaring straight to the heavens.

"Everyone, follow me at once and charge the Yellow Dragon."

Lu Zhangsheng stood with his hands behind his back, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"We obey your command."

The crowd shouted in unison.

Then a large group of warriors, led by Lu Zhangsheng, rushed forward.

Their momentum was vast and rainbow‑like.

Many Tianyao Gate scouts also noticed the anomaly and hurried back to report.

Subsequently, this group of Tianyao Gate disciples, under the guidance of that revered Primordial Puppet, also charged toward Lu Zhangsheng and his companions.

Several hours later.

Both sides gathered again near Moon Spirit Lake.

Seeing the nearly mature Spiritual Medicine, the warriors on both sides felt their murderous intent grow stronger.

Everyone sensed that this battle might be the final decisive fight for victory.

"Kill."

At Lu Zhangsheng's single command, the great battle erupted instantly.

Warriors from both sides surged toward each other, murderous aura rolling, battle cries shaking the heavens.

"Boom boom boom…"

A fierce surge of energy swept all directions, lifting nearby trees over ten meters high; the battlefield became a wreck.

Lu Zhangsheng surged forward on a horse, leading the charge.

Together with Ye Yiyang, they again faced the Primordial Puppet.

The massive puppet's oppressive presence remained astonishing, its long spear flashing cold light, murderous intent chilling.

"Whoosh…"

The giant puppet thrust its spear forward.

Sharp energy howled through the void, its momentum ferocious beyond compare.

"Slash."

Lu Zhangsheng, unwilling to be outdone, slashed forward with a blade.

Swish…

Brilliant blade light pierced the whole sky, as if to cut through everything; even the air rang with bursts of sound.

Ye Yiyang likewise coordinated with Lu Zhangsheng, delivering a full‑force slash forward.

"Boom boom boom…"

In an instant, the two collided.

A violent roar echoed through the clouds, fierce winds swirled, raising layers of mist.

With a single strike.

Lu Zhangsheng stood steadily in the void, unmoving, like a towering mountain, impossible to shake.

External yang energy burst, forming a pure white aura shield, its radiance swirling ever more wondrous.

All the energy generated by the collision was completely blocked.

Meanwhile, Ye Yiyang stepped back several meters, his right hand holding the blade trembling slightly.

Facing this powerful blow, he was clearly quite uncomfortable.

The gap between him and Lu Zhangsheng was stark.

Conversely, the Primordial Puppet also retreated several meters, its body gently swaying.

No longer the calm of earlier.

All the warriors on the battlefield, seeing this, opened their mouths slightly, faces full of shock.

"Lu Zhangsheng is directly suppressing this Primordial Puppet?"

The crowd found it hard to believe.

Unlike the previous few engagements, the battle has already turned around this time.

No one expected Lu Zhangsheng's strength to have increased so much in such a short time.

Qin Ruobing and the people of the Second Hall flushed with excitement.

"Lord Lu is invincible."

Everyone shouted loudly, their voices shaking the heavens.

Many Tianyao Gate disciples and members of the Six Great Sects wore terrified expressions.

"Impossible! How could he have risen his martial truth to a full ten percent so quickly?"

A group stared at Lu Zhangsheng in the sky as if they had seen a ghost, still unable to believe it in their hearts.

In their impression, an abnormal talent who could raise his truth to a full ten percent was top‑tier throughout Great Zhou.

They did not expect Qingning Mansion to produce a single person.

Such an invincible Heavenly Pride could surpass stages and slay Primordial strongmen.

To cut a Primordial being from its very birth—just the thought is terrifying.

The group's momentum suddenly plummeted, and they were instantly suppressed by the officials.

Just as the Tianyao Gate disciples were in panic.

"Kill."

Lu Zhangsheng surged forward again.

Behind him, Ye Yiyang hurried to keep up.

In an instant, the two positioned themselves front and back, surrounding the Primordial Puppet.

Boom—boom—boom…

Both sides launched an earth‑shattering duel in the sky.

Repeated booms made the eardrums of those below ache.

Endless gale swept all directions, lifting nearby trees and grass dozens of meters high.

The scene was extremely horrifying.

As time passed, Lu Zhangsheng gradually gained absolute advantage, firmly suppressing the puppet.

When Lu Zhangsheng drew his blade, the blade light grew ever brighter, his momentum climbing step by step, as if boundless.

Endless blade light interwove in the void into a massive net, trapping the puppet within.

Even with the giant puppet's limbs spread, it still could not break free, as if trapped in an ocean.

The situation grew increasingly dire.

Beside them, Ye Yiyang also strained to assist Lu Zhangsheng.

His perception of Lu Zhangsheng's strength deepened, leaving him quite startled.

Only after raising his truth to a full ten percent could he have the capital to challenge the opponent.

Inside the puppet.

Eight men in black had eyes full of despair, their faces turning extremely pale.

The vital blood of the control core was about to be exhausted.

They could neither defeat Lu Zhangsheng nor escape, which terrified the few.

They never expected Lu Zhangsheng's strength to surge so dramatically in such a short time.

A wave of deathly shadow rose in their hearts.

After half an hour of bloody combat between both sides.

The giant puppet's momentum further waned, becoming precariously unstable.

At that moment, Lu Zhangsheng seized a slight flaw in the puppet.

He slashed a blade toward the opponent's arm.

Whoosh…

A brilliant blade light fell like a celestial river to the world, its momentum ferocious to the extreme.

Snap…

Under the shocked gazes of those below, the giant puppet's arm was instantly severed, falling toward the ground.

The cut was smooth and even.

After the heavy blow, the puppet's vitality plummeted, dropping to a mere early Primordial level.

Clearly, the core was damaged, causing a great reduction in combat power.

Immediately, Lu Zhangsheng's body flashed; with top‑tier lightness skill activated, he moved like a bolt of lightning.

Clack—clack—clack…

As blade light flickered around the puppet, the entire giant puppet was sliced into eight pieces, turning into a heap of scrap that fell to the ground.

Among them were bits of shredded flesh.

In just a few breaths, the Primordial Puppet was blown apart.

All of this happened far too quickly.

Only then did those below react.

All wore shocked faces.

Their hearts seemed to surge with wave after wave.

"Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories."

The numerous government martial men erupted in cheers, their momentum soaring.

A group of people, excited, had flushed faces and clenched fists.

Even Wan Houyu and several Deputy Hall Masters had awe‑filled eyes.

At this level of strength, they were already in a different world.

None of them expected Lu Zhangsheng's growth speed to be so terrifying.

Beside them, Ye Yiyang's eyes were extremely solemn, and the pressure on his heart doubled.

Although he still bore the title of First Deputy Hall Master, he also understood that after the two left, a battle between them was inevitable.

He was not far from attaining the full true meaning of the martial path, and must breakthrough quickly.

The many Tianyao Gate disciples and members of the Six Great Sects all looked at Lu Zhangsheng with terrified faces, scattering in all directions.

Defeated troops fell like a collapsing mountain, scattering like birds and beasts.

A group of government martial men pursued, slaughtering the fleeing people without restraint.
