Chapter 240: Strike Heaven's Vault, they come to kill!

Master, there's killing intent!

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan opened his Insight Eye and scanned the surroundings of the Black Flame Mountain Range. In the depths of the void, several High-Star Great Emperors concealed their forms, spying on them.

Lu Xuan said to Chen Zhangsheng, "Old Three, go take care of them."

Chen Zhangsheng nodded. "Okay."

Soon.

Everyone entered the hall of the Black Flame Mountain Range.

This place is no longer what it once was; towering palaces stand in rows, inscribed with intricate formation patterns, flowing with mysterious aura, shining like stars, adorned with crystals and treasures, appearing magnificent and splendid, extraordinarily gorgeous.

Above the firmament, the sun and moon shine upon the Black Flame Mountain Range; purple vapor drifts out from around the palaces, appearing quite extraordinary. The surrounding spiritual woods have been trimmed, the former savage aura vanished, replaced by a majestic bearing.

Wang Man and Qing Yan, etc., quickly stepped into the hall and paid respects to Lu Xuan: "Peak Master Lu, besides some major human powers this time, several hegemon-level forces will also descend, the Azure Wood Academy, the Ancient Medicine Family, the Ancient Royal Family, etc., will also come to observe the ceremony!"

Hearing this, Lu Xuan smiled: "In that case, our appearance must be impeccable."

Saying this, he took out the corpse of the Nine-Star Great Emperor of the Red Snake Clan that Chen Zhangsheng had slain, and gave it to Wang Man: "At that time, we will entertain everyone with the flesh of this Nine-Star Emperor Rank Red Snake!"

Wang Man and Qing Yan, etc., all swallowed, utterly shocked.

They actually intend to eat the meat of this Nine-Star Emperor Rank demon tribe!?

This appearance is absolutely impeccable!

This is a Nine-Star Emperor Rank great demon!

Its flesh contains terrifying qi and blood power, flowing with Dao and rhythm; even if a High-Star Great Emperor swallowed it, they would benefit greatly!

It's just unknown whether those present dare to eat it.

Lu Xuan smiled: "This red snake, I have completely cleared its internal toxins; it can now be cooked and eaten!"

Saying this, Lu Xuan took out a recipe jade slip and gave it to Wang Man and Qing Yan: "Follow this to prepare it."

Wang Man and Qing Yan, etc., bowed respectfully: "Yes, sir!"

Lu Xuan looked at Ji Fuyao and said with a smile: "Fuyao, I will elevate the rank of your Heaven-Burning Decision for you."

Ji Fuyao nodded, and with her slender jade hand she took out the jade slip of the Heaven-Burning Decision and handed it to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan directly activated the Derivation Law Jade Slip.

Boom!

A wondrous qi surged forth around Lu Xuan, wrapping the jade slip of the Heaven-Burning Decision.

With a thought of Lu Xuan, brilliant golden light continually flowed, and countless ancient characters appeared around his body, each flowing with divine light, containing the supreme truth of heaven and earth, constantly recombining and condensing.

Hiss!

These ancient characters are extremely minute; upon close inspection they conceal further mysteries, like stars continually streaming into the jade slip of the Heaven-Burning Decision, constantly altering the secret technique.

After a moment, the phenomena on Lu Xuan vanished, and a brand-new technique had been derived.

The Heaven-Burning Decision has become a Nine-Star Emperor Rank!

Chen Zhangsheng, watching from the side, was secretly astonished.

Lu Xuan once again demonstrated this method of elevating techniques, overturning his understanding.

After he cultivates the Non-Action Scripture to great perfection, he can have his master raise its rank once more.

Lu Xuan extended his divine sense, glanced at it, and found that this technique, like the Wilderness Heaven Secret, is still incomplete.

He handed the technique jade slip to Ji Fuyao.

Ji Fuyao received the jade slip, examined it carefully, and her eyes flowed with astonished light: "Thank you, Master!"

Lu Xuan nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Fuyao, the foundation-laying ceremony is in three days; don't put too much pressure on yourself, just treat it as usual."

Ji Fuyao nodded: "Okay, Master."

After a moment, Lu Xuan brought Chen Zhangsheng and Ye Chen into another pavilion.

Rest!

Chen Zhangsheng whispered into Lu Xuan's ear: "Master, those several Great Emperors have already been killed by me."

Lu Xuan said: "Good."

Chen Zhangsheng warned: "Those Great Emperors were merely spying in the dark; they seem to have no intention of acting. I estimate that after three days, when the foundation-laying ceremony opens, the Strike Heaven's Vault and Demon Hall forces will appear!"

"No problem. If the people of Strike Heaven's Vault dare to come, we'll bury them."

Lu Xuan licked his lips and said: "If the demon tribe comes, we'll slaughter and eat them! I wonder if a Sheep Tribe Great Emperor will descend."

It's been a long time since I've had mutton skewers.

Or perhaps just eat a sheep's head?

……

Strike Heaven's Valley.

Thick mist twines around this mysterious place; here there is no sun or day, and the lush spiritual woods on the ground grow a strange shape.

In the hall, the Lord of Strike Heaven's Vault, Xiao Ke, leaned sideways on the high seat, her robes fluttering, a glimpse of scenery revealed beneath her snow-white neck, a charming smile appeared on her pretty face as she looked at the many elders in the hall and spoke slowly.

Get ready to depart.

Saying this, Xiao Ke rose with extreme laziness, her alluring, charming figure revealed fully beneath her thin clothing, forming an alluring curve.

Such a charming sight was right before them, yet the many elders dared not harbor any improper thoughts.

Only because, over endless ages, indeed many strong ones who pursued the Lord have been assassinated by the Lord; thus, Nan Huang fears Xiao Ke at the mere rumor.

Their Lord can truly be called the 'Assassin King' of Strike Heaven's Vault; his assassin skills surpass theirs, and moreover Xiao Ke is a descendant of a giant of Shadow Island, her status immensely exalted!

As for the Lord, they feel only reverence and fear.

An elder respectfully asked: "Lord, this time, are you going to act personally?"

Xiao Ke covered her lovely lips with her jade hand and yawned: "Let's go see. I actually want to witness what heavenly abilities this white-robed Great Emperor possesses— which elder of the Grand Dao Sect is he?"

Soon.

Several dozen figures shot out from the secluded valley here, their forms hidden in the clouds, utterly undetectable in aura, as they traversed the void.

A few days later.

A gray-robed elder said to Xiao Ke, "My lord, the elder we stationed in the Black Flame Mountains has been killed."

Xiao Ke's mouth curled with a hint of a smile, but his eyes condensed with icy killing intent, "It's fine."

…

Demon Hall.

Within the vast and magnificent Demon Hall, bathed in the brilliant light of today, golden radiance spread everywhere, filled with an overbearing, mighty aura; many powerful demons have gathered here, their great demon aura like an abyss and sea, constantly surging between heaven and earth.

The Red Snake Ancestor sat high upon the ancient throne deep within the hall, his gaze profound, gazing at the many elders.

"Now I will begin selecting the candidates to go to the Black Flame Mountains!"

The voice fell!

Many great demons became extremely excited, especially the demon race that had just been born in this period!

Having slept for tens of thousands of years in this small world, this is their first battle upon descending into the world, and their bodies surge with heaven-shaking fighting spirit.

The demon spider woman's black long robe billowed, the corner of her mouth revealing an alluring smile, her slender white hands continually kneading as she said, "These past days I have perused the deeds of the White Robe Great Emperor; this person does have some skill. I greatly look forward to crossing blows with him!"

The Giant Sheep Clan Ancestor wielded a massive ancient iron hammer, slamming it to the ground; the coiled muscles on his body gleamed with divine radiance, as if indestructible, "Under my iron hammer, all are dead souls! I don't know if the White Robe Great Emperor's head can withstand a blow from my hammer!!"
