Chapter 152

While distracted by controlling the exotic beast to move forward, Lu Zhangsheng opened the map to check his own position.

Half an hour later, after exploration and comparison, he roughly knew his own orientation.

At this moment, he was in the southwest corner of this broken world, quite far from the center of the world.

According to intelligence, in a large lake in the center of the world, there was a spiritual object named Nine-Leaf Lotus, which belonged to the spiritual objects that were relatively precious in the entire world.

This object could significantly enhance the Qi and Blood and flesh body of Tuotai martial artists, and it must be worth quite a few Source Energy Points.

Those demon people would likely also gather there.

Lu Zhangsheng prepared to advance toward the center all the way, and after joining with Ye Yiyang, catch that group of people in one net.

Several hours later.

A corner of the southwest of the world.

Underground space.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The pangolin was digging quickly in the gloomy underground, as if tireless.

As a world that had not been born long, even the rock walls were much harder; fortunately, its own sharp claws had undergone several transformations, only then could it dig easily.

"Bang..."

Just at this moment, it suddenly sensed a movement from its claws.

It seemed there was some hard object blocking in front.

His mind moved, and he immediately dug away the surrounding rocks, revealing a crystal-clear object.

"Is this an Origin Crystal Stone?"

Lu Zhangsheng saw this, his face full of joy.

According to records in books, this kind of spiritual object was exactly the most common thing in a newborn world.

It is rumored that when a small world is born, the Innate Qi has not completely dissipated, turning into crystal stones and sinking into the world, thus forming a large amount of Origin Crystal Stones.

Almost every newborn world has quite a few Origin Crystal Stones.

However, because many are difficult to mine, they are selectively ignored by many martial artists.

Fortunately, he brought the pangolin clone, otherwise, he could only stare blankly.

Dozens of meters deep underground, even Innate strongmen would be helpless.

Lu Zhangsheng put away his thoughts and placed his claws on it.

Two pieces of information floated in the void in front.

【Origin Crystal Stone】

【A type of spirit mine containing powerful energy.】

Sure enough.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Lu Zhangsheng immediately started digging.

Pieces of crystal stones were dug out by him, then absorbed and turned into Source Energy Points.

【Source Energy Points +10.】

【Source Energy Points +10.】

The resources in his hand were also skyrocketing, as if there was no limit.

This feeling made Lu Zhangsheng quite intoxicated.

Five days later.

Lu Zhangsheng sat cross-legged on the canopy of a large tree.

He opened the panel.

Source Energy Points: 36000.

After several days of uninterrupted digging, he had run through more than half of the area within a thousand miles, and the resources in his hand had become abundant again.

Looking at the plus sign behind Killing True Intent, he no longer hesitated and clicked it immediately.

As Source Energy Points decreased by thirty thousand.

A fluctuation from the netherworld descended into the depths of his mind again, as if a supreme strongman was preaching, making Lu Zhangsheng's understanding of killing rise rapidly.

【Killing True Intent improving...】

【Killing True Intent improving...】

【After your years of bitter cultivation, you have finally raised Killing True Intent to nine-tenths.】

Several crisp prompt sounds resounded in his mind, and this improvement finally ended.

Lu Zhangsheng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and sharp light flickered in his eyes.

After this improvement, his strength increased by several more tenths.

Among all the Heavenly Prides in the entire Great Zhou, he belonged to the most top-tier batch.

This growth speed was extremely terrifying.

For ordinary geniuses to want to perfect their True Intent, it was almost impossible.

Many people began to break through to the Innate Realm at around seven-tenths.

Only some Heavenly Prides would exhaust all their strength to raise their True Intent to ten-tenths.

But very few people could do it; most people began to break through to the Innate Realm at nine-tenths.

Even if it were the Heavenly Pride children of the Imperial Clan, with unlimited supply of resources, most found it difficult to cultivate True Intent to ten layers.

Except for some people with astonishing comprehension.

Just as Lu Zhangsheng was breaking through, in the northeast of the world, in a certain jungle.

Eight men in black stood on the open ground, surrounding each other.

On the ground in the middle lay a behemoth, as tall as several people.

However, the limbs and head were in a separated state.

The surface of these limbs flashed with some kind of metallic luster, black and translucent.

"According to the instructions of Protector Jiu, assemble this war puppet; once we stimulate it with essence blood, it will be able to exert most of its strength, enough to sweep this place..."

An elder with a gloomy face on the left scanned the entire field.

For this Innate puppet, the Holy Gate had expended quite a bit of energy to project it here.

Because there was no Innate expert to control it, they could only choose to use the essence blood of Tuotai martial artists; even with this compromise, it could only barely exert strength close to the mid-Innate stage.

With the strength of the government's two Heavenly Prides, it was absolutely difficult to resist.

"Serving the Holy Gate, we will definitely go through fire and water."

Everyone was fanatical, shouting repeatedly.

The birds in the forest were all startled and fled in all directions.

Although everyone knew that when the essence blood was exhausted, it would be their death date, it still could not stop their determination.

Afterward, the group, led by the black-robed elder, began to assemble the puppet on the ground.

"Click, click, click..."

Before long, this large puppet was assembled and stood on the open ground.

A powerful aura permeated the entire field.

Several figures also entered the interior of the puppet.

And they began to force out the essence blood in their bodies, throwing it into the control center.

"Hum..."

As the essence blood of the few poured in, this puppet began to fly, and bursts of baleful energy soared into the sky.

"Shoo..."

Under the elder's control, it flew quickly toward the front.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the jungle.

Over these past few days.

Government martial artists and the martial artists of the Heavenly Demon Gate and the Six Major Sects also began to fight.

A large number of martial artists fell one after another in this small world.

Both sides poured toward the center of the world by coincidence.

Along the way, it was accompanied by endless slaughter and bloodiness.

Several Deputy Hall Masters of the government also took action one after another, slaughtering numerous Heavenly Demon Gate martial artists.

Qi Haochen and Lu Xingze also did not show weakness, leading the martial artists of their own sects with all their strength, intercepting the experts of the Imperial Court.

The smell of gunpowder between the two sides became increasingly rich, and the aura of slaughter filled the entire world.

After more than ten days of bloody battle, numerous martial artists finally arrived near the Yueling Lake in the center of the world.

This day, at noon.

Gloomy wind roared, and black clouds covered the top.

On the west side of Yueling Lake, in an open space.

Ye Yiyang stood on the flat ground with several Deputy Hall Masters, looking coldly at the opposite bank of the lake in front.

On the opposite bank were exactly the large group of martial artists led by the two Heavenly Prides, Qi Haochen and Lu Xingze.

The two sides confronted each other here for more than several days.

In the center of the lake, a large patch of lotus platforms floated quietly in the lake water, emitting faint fragrance.

Making the people nearby feel refreshed.

However, these spiritual objects were still one month away from maturity, so the two sides did not take action to harvest.

"I wonder when Hall Master Lu will arrive?"

Nan Gonglei and the others frowned slightly.

Everyone had been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for Lu Zhangsheng to arrive before launching a general attack on the other party.

Ye Yiyang on the side also turned his head to look at Qin Ruobing, Wen Zhiyuan, and the others.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

According to Lu Zhangsheng's strength, it was almost impossible for any accidents to occur in this realm.

He should have arrived at Yueling Lake long ago.

"Could it be that Lu Zhangsheng was held back by the Heavenly Demon Gate's methods?"

Everyone was full of doubt in their hearts.

"We have not received any message from Hall Master Lu."

Qin Ruobing gritted her teeth and explained.

After the people of their Second Branch Hall entered, they had not seen their own Hall Master again, which was quite strange.

Just as everyone was discussing, an anomaly came from the opposite riverbank.

Qi Haochen and Lu Xingze led numerous martial artists and rushed over directly.

A black mass, aggressive, with rolling baleful energy rushing straight into the sky.

"All Heavenly Demon Gate martial artists, obey the order: encircle and kill that group of Imperial Court hounds."

Cold light flickered in Qi Haochen's eyes.

Lu Xingze also followed closely behind with the martial artists of the Six Major Sects.

A large group of people operated their lightness skills, traveling on the surface of the lake.

Before long, numerous martial artists crossed the lake surface and killed toward the Imperial Court camp.

"Kill." Ye Yiyang saw this, waved his large hand, then rushed up directly.

The other few Deputy Hall Masters also led a large number of martial artists to meet them.

The great battle between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out.

The tragic aura of slaughter intertwined together, as if wanting to shake the clouds in the high sky apart.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

In an instant, the two sides collided together, and violent energy swept in all directions.

The sound of weapons colliding, the sound of shouting and killing, and the sound of screaming gathered together, resounding through the clouds.

Soon, martial artists were injured, or even fell.

Fresh blood dyed the soil on the ground red, turning into trickling streams flowing toward the lake surface, and even the lake water showed a patch of crimson.

The entire battlefield was extremely tragic.

In the center of the battlefield, the fighting was the most intense.

It was exactly Ye Yiyang, Qi Haochen, and Lu Xingze fighting in the high sky.

The huge roaring sound was deafening, and the Gang Qi formed bursts of wild wind, sweeping up the surrounding lake water.

Personnel from both sides felt their chests tighten and avoided it by coincidence.

Everyone looked at the central battlefield with faces full of horror.

Ye Yiyang fought one against two, yet did not fall into a disadvantage at all; his blade strikes became increasingly fierce, his Qi and Blood were like the sea, carrying a powerful sense of oppression.

Facing the siege of the two, Ye Yiyang's expression remained as calm as water.

At this moment, he exerted his full strength, just enough to maintain the situation.

However, he was not panicked at all in his heart.

In his view, as long as Lu Zhangsheng arrived in time, the two joining forces would absolutely be able to break the other party.

Now that the battlefield commotion was so big, Lu Zhangsheng must have received the news.

"Brother Qi, Ye Yiyang is very difficult to deal with; for a time, we cannot take him down either, and furthermore, this person Lu Zhangsheng has not appeared yet..."

Lu Xingze asked Qi Haochen while waving his sword Qi.

There was also some unease in his heart.

Even if the two exerted their full strength, they could not kill Ye Yiyang in a short time.

If Lu Zhangsheng appeared suddenly, that would be a big trouble.

"Rest assured, even if this person Lu Zhangsheng arrives, it is a dead end."

Qi Haochen smiled mysteriously.

He said to Lu Xingze while suppressing Ye Yiyang with his blade.

The sharp blade light seemed to want to tear the void, the momentum fierce and peerless.

Regarding his own Protector's methods, he had never doubted.

Even Lu Xingze was quite curious about what kind of confidence these Heavenly Demon Gate disciples had.

One had to know that the strength displayed by Lu Zhangsheng and the other was not weak.

Time flowed slowly.

Half an hour passed.

Both sides were still fighting to the death in the jungle by the lake.

The fighting became increasingly intense.

Just at this moment.

"Woo, woo..."

A burst of huge roaring sound resounded through the entire battlefield, attracting the attention of numerous martial artists.

Everyone turned their heads to look toward the source of the sound.

They saw that in the high sky northwest of the lake, a pitch-black "monster" was rushing toward the battlefield quickly, like a startled swan.

Before arriving at the battlefield, an extremely powerful aura permeated, pressing on everyone's hearts, making it difficult to breathe.

"Is this a war puppet?"

Looking at the aggressive behemoth, Qin Ruobing and the others were full of terror.

The puppet, several meters tall, had a full sense of oppression.

Just this aura alone absolutely reached the Innate level.

It had already exceeded the three Heavenly Prides who were fighting.

"Not good, everyone evacuate immediately."

Ye Yiyang's gaze sharpened.

He also did not expect that the other party had prepared this kind of killing weapon.

This kind of Innate-level puppet, even if only simply controlled, had to pay an astonishing price.

With their current strength, it was very difficult to resist.

They could only choose to join with Lu Zhangsheng before making other plans.

His words had just fallen.

Numerous government martial artists, under the leadership of several Deputy Hall Masters, quickly retreated, like a tide.

"Pursue with full strength, kill them all."

The Heavenly Demon Gate disciples and the experts of the Six Major Sects hurriedly chased after them, their momentum becoming increasingly fierce.

Several breaths later.

That war puppet flew in front of Ye Yiyang.

Immediately, it thrust a spear forward.

The sharp energy tore through the void, and a harsh whistling sound came.

Ye Yiyang exerted his full Qi and Blood, slashing forward with his blade.

A point of cold light flickered at the tip of the blade, carrying tragic killing intent.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Bursts of air waves surged, sweeping the surrounding grass and trees into the high sky, and dust and smoke rolled in the surroundings.

Under the collision of the two sides, Ye Yiyang suddenly retreated more than ten meters, his face turning pale.

This strike, he barely blocked it.

The strength of this puppet had already faintly exceeded his own.

This made his heart extremely gloomy.

Numerous Heavenly Demon Gate disciples and people from the Six Major Sects saw this and showed joy.

"Haha... these Imperial Court hounds are finished."

Qi Haochen and Lu Xingze were also quite happy.

They hurriedly abandoned Ye Yiyang and chased after the numerous experts of the Demon-Suppressing Division.

The two of them prepared to clean up these ordinary geniuses and martial artists before coming to besiege Ye Yiyang together.

As for Lu Zhangsheng who had not appeared yet, he would be searched out sooner or later and killed together.

This battle, they were sure to win.

Ye Yiyang could only resist this war weapon with all his strength, watching helplessly as Qi Haochen and the other went far away.

"Ah..."

No matter how he exerted his Qi and Blood, he could not break the puppet in front of him.

The next two days.

Qi Haochen and the other led a large group of martial artists, wantonly hunting down the personnel of the Demon-Suppressing Division.

The entire Imperial Court martial artist group fell into a panic and wailing.

At this moment, in the southwest corner of the world, in a jungle.

Lu Zhangsheng slowly opened his eyes.

These past few days, he had not paid attention to the outside world, fully digging for spiritual objects underground and improving his Martial Dao True Intent.

Seeing that the Nine-Leaf Lotus in the center of the world was about to mature, he prepared to come out of seclusion.

Lu Zhangsheng leaped, flying quickly toward the front.

A white robe rustled in the wild wind.

He wantonly hid his form in the vastness of heaven and earth, extremely free and easy.

After flying for more than an hour.

He suddenly felt bursts of fluctuations coming from not far ahead.

"Are martial artists fighting?"

His expression flickered slightly.

Afterward, he looked closely toward the front.

He saw a woman in purple robes fleeing quickly forward, her expression quite panicked.

The woman had a beautiful face and a proud figure; it was exactly Qin Ruobing, but her aura was somewhat unstable, clearly injured.

Behind her, four men in black were chasing relentlessly.

Each one was Tuotai Perfection, with an extraordinary aura.

"Don't waste your efforts struggling; satisfy us brothers..."

A gloomy young man's eyes were full of lewd light.

They could not bear to kill such a beauty, always hanging behind the other party like chasing prey.

Seeing that the other party's aura was about to dry up, his face showed joy.

A hint of determination rose in Qin Ruobing's heart; if it weren't for being injured by a genius figure of the Heavenly Demon Gate when breaking out, she would not have fallen to this point.

Just as she was preparing to fight to the death, an unexpected change occurred.

Clatter...

Dazzling cold light flashed across the void.

Immediately following, a hint of blood color appeared at the necks of the four men.

"It's you... Lu..."

The four men's eyes were full of terror.

They did not expect to meet this baleful star here; the four could not even block one move.

Then, their whole bodies fell to the ground, and a large amount of fresh blood sprayed out.

At this time, Lu Zhangsheng slowly descended from the high sky, with a smile on his face.

Seeing the person who arrived, Qin Ruobing's face was full of joy: "I thought you had an accident; I didn't expect you to have hidden yourself long ago."

"Hidden myself?"

Lu Zhangsheng's expression was somewhat puzzled.

He had just come out of seclusion and did not know what had happened.

Afterward, Qin Ruobing told him about the Innate puppet.

Lu Zhangsheng listened, his eyes flickering; upon hearing that Qi Haochen and the other were hunting down government martial artists all over the world, he had an idea.

The hunter and the prey are often in a single thought.

He prepared to take action to hunt down those two Heavenly Pride figures.

Finally, join forces with Ye Yiyang to besiege that Innate puppet.

The conditions for wanting to control this kind of war weapon were absolutely extremely harsh; as long as its energy was exhausted, it could be broken.
