Chapter 1140: with translation of chapter title

Lu Xuan, what exactly is your cultivation level now?

The Black Wood Elder's voice was filled with shock.

Outsiders all speculated that Lu Xuan had not recovered his peak, but no one knew exactly how much he had regained.

But in his view, Lu Xuan was completely invincible!

Lu Xuan did not answer; with a thought, a massive palm imprint suddenly clenched, and overwhelming divine power like a sea instantly crushed down on the Black Wood Elder.

Beneath the Black Wood Elder's feet, the vast abyss began to collapse, the dark energy within surging out like a violent storm, but it was quickly annihilated by Lu Xuan's power.

Boom!

The Abyssal Dao shattered and fell apart!

The Black Wood Elder's heart was filled with resentment and indignation.

The Ghost Palace still had a grand scheme in the Qingming Heaven; if he died now, he could not contact the Dark Ancestor and others, hoping they could still complete the Ghost Palace's final plan.

There's no time to notify the Dark Ancestor!

In an instant, his body exploded into a mist of blood!

He was instantly killed!

Seeing this, Bai Loulan's face turned extremely grim.

Lu Xuan's strength is definitely above the Dao Void Realm.

But he still has a trump card: numerous eight‑turn Gu insects.

Bai Loulan wore a white robe, his usually refined and composed visage now lost its calm; the robe was stained crimson by the surrounding blood, unlike Lu Xuan, whose white robe remained spotless, emanating a faint divine radiance.

Boom!

Bai Loulan activated his eight‑turn battle Gu in his hand and charged straight at him.

With his full effort, a golden divine radiance like a blazing sun shone in his palm, blindingly bright, as his fighting spirit turned into a vast ocean that poured into his body.

Bai Loulan let out a low roar; the endless exhilaration from the battle Gu made his hair fly up, his hatred blazing, and he threw a punch straight at Lu Xuan.

This punch, powered by the strength of a one‑star Dao Void cultivator, surged forth, wrapped in the battle Gu's power, increasing its lethal force by more than tenfold!

The heavens were covered in golden flowing light!

Killing intent rose to the heavens!

Lu Xuan flicked his sleeve, and a golden fist imprint burst forth, as vast and boundless as a great domain.

The 'Wilderness Heaven Technique!'

The world‑shattering power erupted instantly, turning into a falling star that struck Bai Loulan, the two forces colliding head‑on.

In the distance, Ye Chen stared unblinking at Lu Xuan, sensing the power of that punch, and he remarked, 'Every time my master activates the Wilderness Heaven Technique, I gain new insight.'

Ji Fuyou said, 'That's only natural. The master is the master; his understanding far surpasses ours.'

Ye Chen clenched his fists, 'I still need to train!'

Boom!

Crack!

Above the void, the two terrifying forces collided, stirring up layer upon layer of massive waves.

In the end, Lu Xuan's power surpassed that of the battle Gu!

Bai Loulan's palm imprint began to crumble piece by piece!

The golden divine radiance began to vanish one after another, growing dim.

Bai Loulan gritted his teeth, made a swift decision, and turned to flee.

He is no match for Lu Xuan!

He must contact the Qingming Emperor as soon as possible!

With a thought, Bai Loulan sent another eight‑turn Gu flying from his body.

Eight‑turn Dingyou Gu!

Hiss!

It is a wholly white Gu that contains a profound spatial Dao rhythm; merely summoning it twists the surrounding space, and soon numerous spatial sigils flash, forming a Space Channel.

This is the heaven‑defying ability of the Dingyou Gu: it can instantly open a Space Channel for translocation.

Bai Loulan's figure shifted, and he stepped toward the Space Channel.

Lu Xuan's lips curled slightly upward.

To display spatial skill before him—isn't that like showing off one's axe before a master carpenter?

He flicked his finger, a stream of light shot forth, and his profound spatial power enveloped the surrounding heaven and earth.

Seal!

The Space Channel that Bai Loulan had just manifested was instantly sealed!

The path ahead is cut off!

Bai Loulan hit a wall directly!

The violent impact made his body spurt large amounts of blood, and he was hurled back tens of thousands of feet.

His face showed shock: 'What an astonishing spatial accomplishment!'

Worthy of being the Lu Sovereign Master—with a mere raise of hand or lift of foot he weaves a seal pattern that surpasses the eight‑turn Dingyou Gu.

Bai Loulan gritted his teeth, retracted the Dingyou Gu, and since it didn't work, he decided to try another.

He still has several Gu on his person.

Hiss!

Another eight‑turn Gu's aura surged forth, sweeping across the field like a vast sea, with a yellow‑gold divine radiance cascading down around him.

Eight‑turn Yushou Gu!

"I hope I can block Lu Xuan's strike and buy me time!"

Bai Loulan murmured to herself.

This Eight-turn Guardian Gu possesses tremendous defensive power, able to withstand a strike from a High Star Dao Void Realm cultivator.

What he needs now is time, time!

With a boom, a yellowish dome descended, emanating an ancient, unshakable aura, indestructible.

Another Gu appeared in Bai Loulan's hand.

Clone Gu!

"Hum!"

As this Gu was activated, his body instantly split into several figures; outwardly, it was impossible to tell real from fake.

These clones shot out in all directions in an instant, each capable of activating the power of the Stabilizing Travel Gu.

"Boom—!" "Boom—!"

The formation here instantly smelted into several Space Channels, and these clones instantly shifted out.

Seeing this, Ye Chen was somewhat astonished: "Although the Gu Clan's combat power at the same level is not high, they have too many Gu on them, comparable to heaven-defying Spiritual Weapons, with too many methods."

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes blinked: "I'm also curious how the Gu Clan manages to control so many Great Daos and refine them into Gu."

Lu Xuan activated the Eye of Insight and quietly watched these clones.

No matter how many clones, there is only one true body!

He took a jade bottle from the System Space; the liquid inside was like heavenly nectar, trembling slightly, emitting ripples.

It was the Gu-dissolving Mystic Liquid!

This can destroy any Gu below the nine-turn level!

Lu Xuan drew with his right hand, a trickle flowed out and fell directly onto the yellowish dome.

Above the Void, a continuous fine rain fell!

"Sizzle—!"

The Gu-dissolving Mystic Liquid fell upon the barrier spawned by the Guardian Gu, instantly destroying it; the speed was so fast that Bai Loulan gasped.

"What heaven-defying thing is this? It actually counters Gu!"

Bai Loulan's heart surged with shock.

In the Upper Realm, there has never been anything that could dispel their Gu.

But today it appeared!

What shocked Bai Loulan even more was that the power contained in the fine rain falling from the Void directly nullified the Eight-turn Guardian Gu.

Great Dao Suppression!

Just as heavy rain extinguishes fire, the spatial power of the Stabilizing Travel Gu directly waned, becoming ordinary; the Great Dao power it contained seemed to be erased, as if it had never existed.

The Guardian Gu, which originally emitted a yellowish light, dimmed, seeming to turn into a lifeless "stone".

Bai Loulan looked astonished.

This exceeded his understanding!
