Chapter 461: Is a big shot going to appear?!

Su Liyan, Gu Qingwan, and King Qi watched the black storm before them gradually turn ferocious, and they couldn't help but feel a twinge of worry.

They knew that not retreating when facing evil cult forces was extremely difficult and dangerous.

However, at this critical moment, Lu Yuan fully released the power he had long accumulated deep within his heart.

A roar echoed throughout the cave abode, and the five elements energy slowly surged.

Lu Yuan seemed to turn into a bolt of lightning, swiftly darting through the cave abode.

Behind him, streaks of pure Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire swept fiercely over the black storm, instantly tearing it apart.

The entire cave abode instantly fell silent.

Lu Yuan's body gradually appeared before everyone's eyes, his true form becoming increasingly solid in their sight.

The power he now emanated had reached a new realm—the Heavenly Gang Realm!

Everyone gazed at the transcendent Lu Yuan before them, feeling boundless awe that gradually turned into resolve and determination. Lu Yuan stood outside the cave abode, powerful energy emanating from him and permeating every corner of the cave abode.

The cultivators outside were all drawn to this energy, they each stopped their practice and looked toward Lu Yuan.

"What kind of energy is this? Could a new great power of the cultivation world be born?" someone exclaimed in a low voice.

"It's not just strong; there's also a sense of mystery." Another person also sighed.

The crowd gathered outside the cave abode to watch, and one cultivator couldn't help but say, "That's Lu Yuan!"

"The prodigious junior spoken of in rumors."

"Exactly! I heard he knows the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation."

"He's a top-notch master at setting up detection techniques!"

The crowd whispered among themselves, discussing Lu Yuan, filled with curiosity and admiration for him.

At this moment, Su Liyan, Gu Qingwan, King Qi, and the others also stepped out of the cave abode, feeling the gaze of the outside cultivators on Lu Yuan, and they smiled as they greeted everyone.

They all felt extremely proud, after all, their team possessed such a powerful member.

Lu Yuan gazed at the onlooking cultivators, a hint of pride in his voice as he said, "Indeed, it is I, Lu Yuan!"

"To uphold the justice of Shenzhou Dadi and the Three Life Pill, I have broken through my own limits."

His words left everyone feeling shocked and admiring.

Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan and softly said, "Lu Yuan, you did it."

"You have reached the Heavenly Gang Realm."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned toward Lu Yuan, eagerly awaiting his explanation.

Su Liyan then stepped forward and asked softly, "This energy..."

"... does it signify that you possess even greater power?"

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded: "Exactly, I have broken through to the Heavenly Gang Realm."

"This way, when facing evil forces, we will have a greater chance."

Everyone nodded in unison, praising him.

Just then, Xueying and True Lord Po Tian led a group of cult followers to the cave abode's exterior.

Xueying coldly glanced at the surrounding cultivators, "Hmph! Since you won't heed advice, then die together!"

As soon as Xueying's words fell, the evil aura of the Black Flame Sect spread, and around the cave abode appeared vicious talismans and evil sorcery.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows slightly, realizing this was a challenge to them.

"Not good! We must prepare!"

Gu Qingwan immediately took out her treasure, the Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin, and began circulating her magic power to counteract the evil aura.

Su Liyan wielded the Ice Crystal Long Whip; ice-attributed energy gathered around her into a tornado and surged toward the enemy's sorcery.

King Qi lowered his Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel, chanting under his breath, and accelerated its rotation.

The wheel emitted a dazzling light, destroying the surrounding evil talismans one by one.

Everyone displayed their divine abilities, united in opposing Xueying and True Lord Po Tian.

Lu Yuan personally stepped to the forefront, wielding the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword and sweeping it about.

He employed the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation, coordinating with Gu Qingwan, Su Liyan, King Qi, and others to launch an offensive.

Their teamwork was flawless, each move perfectly timed.

The assembled Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation brimmed with a mysterious aura, as dazzling as meteors streaking across the sky.

Every enemy who touched this formation was instantly repelled. Lu Yuan stood within the Black Flame Sect's blockade zone, where thick evil qi permeated, making one feel suffocated.

At this moment, Hong Lietian and True Lord Po Tian lunged at Lu Yuan from front and rear, their eyes revealing endless killing intent and mockery.

"Lu Yuan, do you think relying on the Heavenly Gang Realm can stop us? Ridiculous!" Hong Lietian sneered.

True Lord Po Tian smiled and added, "Exactly! You are no match for us at all."

Lu Yuan, however, stepped forward with steadfast gaze, unmoved by their intimidating aura.

"I need no opponent; I only need to defend against your attacks," he said slowly.

Hong Lietian and True Lord Po Tian were slightly taken aback by his words, then launched a full-force attack.

The released power surged like a storm.

Lu Yuan's heart stirred; he patted his chest, and three Three Life Pills appeared, which he slowly swallowed.

The Three Life Pills radiated brilliant light from within his body, gently permeating his entire being, granting him immense power and insight.

"Primordial Spirit Crystal! Appear!"

Lu Yuan drew a deep breath, and a Primordial Spirit Crystal appeared in his hand, emitting brilliant radiance.

Hong Lietian and True Lord Po Tian exchanged a glance, each feeling a hint of apprehension.

They well knew the power of the Primordial Spirit Crystal—a treasure capable of enhancing cultivation.

"This brat actually possesses a Primordial Spirit Crystal!"

True Lord Po Tian muttered to himself, "No wonder he dares to be so arrogant."

Lu Yuan felt his strength increase severalfold; he curled his fingers and lightly waved them, and powerful immortal Qi swirled around him.

Hong Lietian and True Lord Po Tian gritted their teeth, unleashing their strongest techniques as they prepared to defeat Lu Yuan.

At that moment, Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly.

He waved the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, forming a huge thunder-fire shield before him. Hong Lietian and True Lord Po Tian's attacks surged like a storm, their eyes revealing endless killing intent and mockery.

However, at the critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Lu Yuan.

"Huh? Qingyang True Lord?"

Lu Yuan blinked in surprise; he hadn't expected the renowned Qingyang True Lord to appear here suddenly.

Qingyang True Lord wore a green robe, his hair flying, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

He held an extremely sharp sword, its tip glinting with a cold light.

Amazingly, a wisp of black Qi floated behind him, terrifying and evil.

Hong Lietian and True Lord Po Tian, seeing Qingyang True Lord appear, immediately felt their pressure double. (End of chapter)
