Chapter 204: Encounter! Promotion to Top-tier Dao Soldier!

Nearby imperial martial artists all looked with horror at the golden giant that had suddenly appeared in front of them.

To rival a powerful battle formation of the enemy with the strength of one person—this kind of divine ability was truly terrifying.

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts.

The blade auras of both sides collided violently.

"Boom—"

A violent roar resounded through the clouds, whipping up endless smoke and dust, leaving the entire battlefield shrouded in a rolling haze.

Even the nearby grass and trees were swept a hundred meters into the air.

"Crack!"

Under a single strike, the golden armor battle formation controlled by Liu Yanbo suddenly shattered.

Numerous martial artists spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces filled with panic as they scattered in all directions.

Even the long blade in Liu Yanbo's hand could not stop trembling, and his complexion was deathly pale.

He only felt an infinite sense of slaughter surging into his mind, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

This single strike had directly shattered the formation led by this powerful Holy Son.

It simply made everyone tremble with fear.

"A powerhouse of the first tier?"

There was a hint of despair in Liu Yanbo's eyes.

Among the countless martial artists who had entered the Huntian Realm this time, the first tier was already an extremely formidable combat force.

Except for those few monstrous figures.

He had not expected Lu Changsheng's metamorphosis to be so rapid, surpassing him in such a short time.

Although he had barely reached the strength of fourteen dragons by relying on the battle formation, appearing the same as Lu Changsheng.

But they were completely incomparable.

His power was only briefly condensed and not solid; encountering a powerhouse of the same level, it was easily crushed.

Not to mention an enemy containing a top-tier Killing Divine Heart.

It was completely a case of collapsing at the first touch.

"Run..."

At this moment, Liu Yanbo actually disregarded everything and fled toward the rear.

All of this happened in an instant.

From Lu Changsheng attacking and crushing Liu Yanbo's battle formation, to the other party abandoning his fellow sect members to flee.

The nearby Grandmaster powerhouses were all filled with despair.

They began to curse loudly one after another.

"Bastard."

Now that Liu Yanbo had run, they only had a dead end ahead of them.

If the other party had stimulated his blood essence and led everyone in a desperate fight, it wasn't certain they wouldn't have a chance at survival.

He hadn't expected the other party to be so cowardly and weak.

Before Liu Yanbo could run far, Lu Changsheng moved instantly.

"Whoosh—"

The Killing Divine Heart immediately began to erupt with full force.

A blood-colored sky curtain instantly spread out, expanding in all directions.

In an instant, the blood-colored domain enveloped Liu Yanbo and the numerous Grandmasters within it.

With Lu Changsheng's speed, it was impossible for the other party to escape.

Relying solely on the current Killing Divine Heart, the other party would find it difficult to break through.

"Roar, roar..."

Sensing the endless killing intent and roars coming from all around, tall Skeleton Monarchs charged toward him, their baleful aura astonishing.

Liu Yanbo's face was pale, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He felt as if he were trapped in a quagmire, unable to break free.

"More than thirty percent of the Killing Divine Heart?"

A sense of despair surged in Liu Yanbo's heart.

The other party was not only stronger than him, but his realm was also higher than his; he couldn't think of any strategy to defeat the enemy.

"Die."

Just at this moment, Lu Changsheng, holding Jin Huang, charged straight up.

"Swish..."

Before Liu Yanbo could react, a heaven-shaking blade aura instantly slashed across his neck.

Following that, a massive head soared into the sky, and a large amount of fresh blood gushed out.

A trace of disbelief still lingered in the corners of Liu Yanbo's eyes.

His entire heart gradually sank into darkness.

With one blade, this Holy Land Holy Son completely lost his life.

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng brandished Jin Huang, moving rapidly within the domain.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Accompanied by countless shrill screams.

One Grandmaster powerhouse after another fell to the ground like wheat.

Corpses lay everywhere, blood flowed, and the scene was extremely terrifying.

Soon, there wasn't a single standing figure left on the field.

All of them had turned into souls under Lu Changsheng's blade.

All of this happened in just a few breaths.

"Hum..."

The blood moon above his head was slowly absorbing the surrounding killing intent, continuing to grow stronger.

Lu Changsheng felt his own Killing Domain become much more solid once again.

After these days of cultivation, his Killing Divine Heart had already reached thirty percent back in the Capital City.

It was still rapidly advancing toward forty percent.

These Grandmaster powerhouses had all turned into nourishment for the Killing Domain.

Lu Changsheng discovered that he was extremely compatible with the Dao of Slaughter, as if he were born to be a "God of Slaughter."

Slashing and killing numerous powerful enemies also made him quite fascinated.

After this discovery, he relied on himself to cultivate the Killing Divine Heart.

The large amount of saved resource points were all used to break through his realm and divine abilities.

With both approaches, Lu Changsheng's strength improved faster and faster.

Next, after Lu Changsheng collected all the surrounding storage rings, he withdrew the Killing Domain.

Some nearby imperial martial artists looked at Lu Changsheng with faces full of shock.

From Lu Changsheng's strike to Liu Yanbo and the others being killed.

All of this happened too quickly.

Even they hadn't reacted in time.

"Shoo..."

Subsequently, Lu Changsheng set up his escape light and flew rapidly toward the front.

In a few breaths, he disappeared into the awe-filled gazes of the crowd.

The following few days.

News about Lu Changsheng powerfully killing Liu Yanbo, this Holy Son, also spread rapidly in this area.

It stirred up a huge uproar in the hearts of many martial artists.

Everyone listed Lu Changsheng in the first-tier list.

He belonged to the category of figures not to be easily provoked.

To be on par with such a powerhouse, even in the inner core area, was to be an existence capable of competing for top-tier treasures.

Even if numerous powerhouses from the Holy Lands gathered in battle formations, they could do nothing against a first-tier powerhouse.

On a large grassland.

Wang Yiqiu and Shan Zhenhai looked at the intelligence in their hands, their eyes full of surprise.

"Brother Lu has broken through?"

Shan Zhenhai once suspected that he had received fake intelligence.

The two had been rushing without stopping to provide support, but they hadn't expected the battle to be over before they even arrived? This made both of them feel somewhat unbelievable.

One must know, the two of them were also quite far from the first tier.

There wasn't even one in the entire Qingzhou.

The strength Lu Changsheng displayed completely exceeded their expectations.

"Let's collect some spiritual items and meet up again in the inner layer."

"Brother Lu's strength has greatly increased; he will definitely not be content with just wandering around the outer perimeter."

Wang Yiqiu's beautiful eyes flickered, her face full of smiles.

In her view, with Lu Changsheng as a powerful reinforcement, their gains this time would definitely increase greatly.

"Good, let's decide on that."

Shan Zhenhai was also in full agreement.

However, a trace of worry in his heart remained unsaid.

With Lu Changsheng's ambition, he would definitely go to the innermost core area.

Those monstrous Holy Sons were not easy to provoke.

If he were not careful, Lu Changsheng would likely be in great danger.

He prepared to persuade him once they met up with Lu Changsheng, that the three of them should quit while they were ahead; that would be more prudent.

Subsequently, the two fled rapidly toward the front.

As time passed.

The battles on the outer perimeter of the Huntian Realm became increasingly tragic.

A large number of sect powerhouses joined forces, turning into golden-armored giant spirits and slaughtering in all directions.

Even many imperial martial artists suffered greatly.

After all, in this realm, they had no advantage.

Without the blessing of the imperial destiny from the outside world, relying solely on martial artists, the imperial forces were instead at an absolute disadvantage.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that those titled powerhouses who had integrated demonic power could not enter.

This power accounted for almost most of the imperial court's strength.

It is said that in the ancient times of this realm, a mutation occurred.

Causing the scorching sun to turn into a blood-colored sun.

As long as a powerhouse containing demonic power entered, they would become uncontrollably violent.

Over time, no one dared to risk their lives anymore.

Three days later.

In a dense jungle.

Lu Changsheng was hiding in a tree hole underground, carefully restraining his aura.

These days, with large groups of Holy Land sect martial artists joining forces and crazily intercepting imperial martial artists, Lu Changsheng had to be careful.

If he were surrounded by hundreds or thousands of Grandmasters, even he would lose a layer of skin.

Not to mention those monstrous Holy Sons.

They would definitely try every means to intercept and kill him.

Regarding the predicament faced by the imperial martial artists, he couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

This group of Holy Lands had clearly been plotting for a long time, launching a desperate killing trap against the imperial martial artists.

These past few days, he had also seen a large number of imperial powerhouses fall.

The remaining portion had also formed small groups and united.

Both sides engaged in bloody combat.

The war in the entire Huntian Realm was becoming increasingly intense.

At this time, Lu Changsheng took out all the spiritual items in his storage ring and placed them on the ground.

Checking them one by one, no errors!

This place was very safe, just right for counting his gains.

A large batch of spiritual items and spiritual ores were spread densely on the ground.

The spiritual energy in the air became much more active.

"Not bad."

"Killing and setting fires really does lead to golden belts."

Looking at the spiritual items all over the ground, Lu Changsheng felt happy.

There were quite a few of various Five Elements spiritual ores and Heavenly Crystal Stones.

He immediately began to absorb them.

【Source Energy Points +100.】

【Source Energy Contention +100.】

The resources in his hands were rising rapidly, continuously, as if there were no limit.

Before long, the spiritual items on the ground were all absorbed.

Open the panel.

A blue light screen floated in the void.

Source Energy Points: 1,520,000.

Another big wave of gains; Liu Yanbo contributed more than half of this.

At this time, Lu Changsheng began to ponder in his mind.

These resources were not enough to improve his cultivation, and his divine abilities were already at Great Accomplishment.

However, he didn't intend to keep them either, preparing to upgrade his divine weapon.

To maximize his own combat power.

A top-tier Dao Soldier was hard to gain an advantage with in battles against first-tier powerhouses.

He had to fill this shortcoming as soon as possible.

Lu Changsheng saw that the plus sign behind the Jin Huang blade had been lit up.

He didn't hesitate and clicked it immediately.

"Hum..."

As the Source Energy Points instantly decreased by 1.2 million.

The entire Jin Huang blade began to bloom with brilliant light.

Illuminating the cave as if it were broad daylight, extremely miraculous.

A powerful aura surged from the blade body, and the Jin Huang blade began to shake violently.

And its momentum was still climbing step by step, like ocean waves.

【Top-tier Dao Soldier Jin Huang Blade promoted to Peak-tier Dao Soldier.】

A crisp prompt sound rang in Lu Changsheng's ears; this upgrade had ended.

Lu Changsheng held the Jin Huang blade and examined it carefully.

After this breakthrough, the blade body became thicker and sharper.

Even the golden runes on it became increasingly dense.

The power of the entire Dao Soldier surged by a large margin.

A Peak-tier Dao Soldier was already an extremely precious treasure.

Only some top-tier Holy Sons could possess one.

Even those few Holy Sons in Qingzhou only used top-tier Dao Soldiers.

With the Jin Huang blade in hand, his strength increased once again.

Next, Lu Changsheng pushed open the cave entrance and crawled out.

He leaped and flew toward the outer core area.

Traveling through the thick mist all the way, fast as a thunderbolt.

While flying, he checked the map in his mind.

This place was quite far from the outer core area, the Shadow Maze.

At his speed, it would take about twenty-plus days.

Lu Changsheng intended to enter the inner layer as soon as possible to collect more precious spiritual items.

Along the way, he was quite careful.

Trying his best to avoid some Holy Land martial artists, and not making contact with anyone else.

Just focusing on his journey.

A few days later.

On a rocky wilderness.

"Kill them all, don't let these two run."

Bursts of shouting resounded through the clouds, with gale winds raging all around, and baleful aura rolling like smoke.

A large group of Holy Land martial artists surrounded a man and a woman, as if watching a play.

In the center, three golden-armored giants were fighting the two.

Firmly suppressing the man and woman.

The situation for the two was becoming increasingly dire.

These two were Shan Zhenhai and Wang Yiqiu.

While on their way, the two had accidentally encountered these Holy Land martial artists.

And fell into their encirclement.

For a time, it was difficult to break out of the encirclement, and as time passed, the two became increasingly anxious.

"Brother Zhenhai, there are more and more of these martial artists; if we drag this out, it will be bad."

Wang Yiqiu's complexion was somewhat ugly.

Shan Zhenhai's eyes were solemn.

Just as he was planning to fight for his life, a sudden change occurred.

A giant flying boat was seen sailing rapidly toward the battlefield, with a magnificent momentum.

A large flag stood at the head of the flying boat, with the character "Chen" engraved on it.

"Not good, it's the top expert of the Firmament Holy Land, Chen Wankai."

Shan Zhenhai's face was full of despair.

This person's strength was top-tier even among the first tier.

The two of them had consumed quite a bit of energy and were surrounded; wanting to escape from this person's hands was simply a pipe dream.

"Haha... these two are dead for sure; the Star Radiance Holy Son of the Firmament Holy Land has arrived."

A group of sect martial artists had eyes full of mockery.

These two imperial Holy Sons were about to fall here.

"Shoo..."

At this time, Chen Wankai walked out of the flying boat and landed slowly in front of Shan Zhenhai and the other.

Beside Chen Wankai, there were two young women, both at the Grandmaster realm.

The two women snuggled against his chest, looking charming.

"The two of you, kneel and submit to this seat, and sparing your lives is not impossible."

Chen Wankai's tone was very flat.

His gaze scanned Wang Yiqiu's charming body unscrupulously.

He had never possessed a Holy Son-level female slave before.

He never refused female beauty, and the higher the quality, the more excited he became.

"Rebellious traitor, don't even think about it."

Wang Yiqiu was filled with determination, her angry roar resounding through the clouds.

She would never surrender.

Shan Zhenhai, beside her, also prepared to fight to the death.

In the jungle in the distance.

Lu Changsheng was flying when he suddenly heard Wang Yiqiu's angry roar.

His complexion changed slightly, and he immediately fled rapidly toward the location where the sound came from.

He had very few friends in Qingzhou, and these two could be considered good friends.

At this moment, the two were clearly in trouble, and he would not stand idly by.

"Hmph... stubborn and unyielding, then go to hell."

Chen Wankai was full of killing intent.

Baleful aura surged crazily around his body.

As a top-tier expert of the first tier, an existence possessing the strength of fifteen dragons.

No one had ever dared to look down on him like this.

These two were already on his must-kill list.

"Die."

Chen Wankai held a dark red long spear and stabbed rapidly toward Shan Zhenhai and the other.

Zzzzz...

The brilliant spear aura seemed to want to pierce the void, its momentum astonishing.

With this strike, he would suppress and kill the two here, establishing his own peerless fierce reputation.

The numerous Holy Land martial artists nearby also looked at the two with the eyes of looking at dead people.

Shan Zhenhai and the other had faces full of despair.

Just as the two were preparing to burn their blood essence and fight for their lives, a sharp blade light descended from the sky.

Like a heavenly river falling into the human world, it slashed toward the spear aura in front.

Such a change made Wang Yiqiu and the other stop instantly.

Looking at the white-clothed figure above their heads, their faces were full of excitement.

"Haha... it's Brother Lu who has come to save us."

Finding life in the midst of despair, the two were incomparably excited.
