Chapter 534

They felt the powerful spiritual qi around them intertwining with the attraction emanating from the jade token.

During the months of closed-door cultivation, Lu Yuan, Mo Di, and Su Liyan all devoted themselves wholeheartedly to cultivation.

They often exchanged cultivation insights and realizations, encouraging each other.

Lu Yuan discovered that, in the course of cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique, he gained a deeper understanding of the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation.

He could integrate the power of the Five Elements into his own immortal arts, making their might even more terrifying.

And the power of the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword also received a completely new enhancement.

Mo Di, through cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique, became more adept at wielding wind and thunder power.

His Dragon Roar Secret Technique, when combined with the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique, became even more terrifying than before.

He could attack opponents with sound, easily shaking them to the point of mental and spiritual turmoil.

And Su Liyan, through cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique, gained a more proficient mastery of ice-type immortal arts.

She could use the Ice Crystal Long Whip to unleash more flexible and deadly attacks, while the Cold Jade Ice Shards also provided her with immeasurable support.

After several months, beside the mysterious formation deep in the Oblivion Forest, Lu Yuan, Mo Di, and Su Liyan ended their secluded cultivation.

They rose to their feet, their eyes flashing with confidence and a hint of disbelief. At the outskirts of Starfall City, a figure emerged from the storm.

He was a tall, imposing man wearing a white robe, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.

He was none other than the lord of Starfall City, Xing Yuan.

Xing Yuan's temporary dispatch of troops aimed to create a false appearance to warn the outside world not to lightly disturb Starfall City.

Xing Yuan lifted his gaze to the storm in the sky and let out a cold chuckle.

He understood that only by fabricating an illusion could the outside world maintain a certain awe and vigilance toward Starfall City.

"Lu Yuan, I will not easily give up this opportunity."

Xing Yuan curled the corner of his mouth into a sinister smile: "Just cultivate in peace; when your strength rises again, I will then truly act against you."

Although he superficially agreed to You Quan's request, he inwardly knew it was merely a pretense.

A cultivator like Lu Yuan, possessing profound immortal arts and the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, is the target he most needs to capture.

In Xing Yuan's heart, a slowly swelling ambition and desire ignited; in his eyes, Lu Yuan was no longer merely an ordinary cultivator.

Xing Yuan resolved to eliminate this potential threat as soon as possible.

The storm grew fiercer, and the mysterious formation deep in the Oblivion Forest emitted a faint yet imposing glow.

At the same time, on the other side, Xing Yuan produced a massive stellar storm, warning the outside world not to approach the territory of Starfall City.

This illusion will make anyone dare not lightly infringe upon Starfall City's territory.

Xing Yuan knew that his order was a crucial protective measure for Starfall City.

No enemy could break through this storm to enter Starfall City's domain. In the You Lian Valley, the mournful cries and wails of the Dragon Clan permeated the air; everyone halted their steps, staring dumbfounded at this scene.

They could not believe their eyes; each Dragon Clan corpse actually bowed toward Lu Yuan and formed a huge cocoon of spiritual qi.

Lu Yuan stood before the cocoon, feeling the vast energy emanating from within, his face showing delight.

He had anticipated this, for this was his purpose in entering the You Lian Valley.

"Finally, the time has come to cultivate the 'Stellar Nine Revolutions Secret'."

Lu Yuan gazed toward the endless, glittering river of stars in the sky and smiled with deep meaning.

Everyone looked on in shock as Lu Yuan's figure underwent ever greater changes.

A few hours ago he was merely an ordinary cultivator, but now he appeared like the supreme being nurtured by the entire stellar universe.

Just then, at the place where the Sect Leader of the Black Flame Sect, True Lord Po Tian, was stationed, a dazzling light sphere suddenly flashed into existence.

The light sphere slowly descended, gradually revealing the figure of True Lord Po Tian.

True Lord Po Tian's face turned ashen; he had not expected Lu Yuan to possess such a breakthrough in cultivation ability.

He had originally hoped to eliminate Lu Yuan through this mission, but now it seemed as if he himself had been framed.

"What is going on?"

"Why does Lu Yuan always exceed my expectations?"

True Lord Po Tian gritted his teeth and snarled ferociously.

Everyone could not help but feel shocked and admiring of Lu Yuan's potential. True Lord Po Tian and the other Black Flame Sect disciples stared at each other, their hearts filled with frustration and anger.

They fully understood that, in their current state, they were no match for Lu Yuan.

The atmosphere in the You Lian Valley became heavy and oppressive; in that silent moment, it seemed one could hear the beating of each person's heart.

Everyone realized that, for the Black Flame Sect, this mission had already lost all hope.

Lu Yuan coldly glanced at True Lord Po Tian, his eyes revealing a hint of contempt.

He turned and left the Dragon Tomb altar, his whole body exuding endless dignity and domineering aura.

True Lord Po Tian watched Lu Yuan fade into the vast You Lian Valley, a fire igniting in his chest.

At this moment he realized he had underestimated Lu Yuan's strength and methods.

"If we don't soon find a way to restrain Lu Yuan, we are doomed to be utterly defeated by him!"

A disciple of the Black Flame Sect said helplessly.

"This mission's failure is my responsibility."

True Lord Po Tian gritted his teeth, his heart filled with endless anger and frustration.

He turned and shouted loudly to the crowd: "We must immediately set out for Xing Yuan City!"

The people looked at each other, instantly understanding True Lord Po Tian's resolve.

Although their hearts were filled with frustration and anger, they also knew they absolutely could not surrender now.

At the same time, deep in the You Lian Valley within a dense grove, Lu Yuan stood silently there.

He held the obtained mysterious fobao, the "Spirit Dragon Heart Core," as well as several "Stellar Seal Nails," having already acquired what he needed, with no need to linger.

Lu Yuan closed his eyes, feeling the natural force flowing through the dense forest.

He began silently chanting the spell, and using his immortal technique power to control the five elements.

Shortly after, a five-colored aura surrounded Lu Yuan, as if a deity had descended to the mortal realm.

Between heaven and earth, one could sense the boundless power and majesty within Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze deep and brilliant.

He knew he had reached a new realm, and continuing his cultivation would allow him to break through his limits even further.

Gazing into the distance, Lu Yuan saw the outline of Star Abyss City ahead.

He gave a cold smile, reaching out to gently touch the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword.

"Star Abyss City, I have come."

Lu Yuan spoke in a low voice, his mighty sound echoing in the Hidden Lotus Valley. As Lu Yuan departed, the originally tense atmosphere within the Hidden Lotus Valley gradually calmed.

True Lord Po Tian and the others stood dejected on the desolate altar, deeply realizing their inadequacy in this battle. (End of chapter)
