Chapter 168: Two-Tenths Domain! Powerful Suppression!

Lu Zhangsheng felt the astonishing changes brought about by the transformation of his Fortune right now.

It felt as if countless flashes of inspiration were flickering in his mind, frantically deducing the Killing Domain, and his own understanding of slaughter was rapidly improving.

After several months of cultivation in the Mountain and River Map, Lu Zhangsheng's Killing Domain had already reached about one and a half tenths.

At this moment, relying on the sublimation of his Fortune, it began to undergo a violent transformation.

"One point six."

"One point seven."

……

"Two tenths."

Until a *crack* sound came from the depths of Lu Zhangsheng's mind, as if something had shattered.

A mysterious fluctuation descended into the depths of his mind, causing his understanding of slaughter to skyrocket.

He had already broken through the barrier, and his Killing Domain had grown directly to two tenths.

His own strength also increased by a notch.

He was certain to take the position of Kuaishou at this Wanhua Fruit Gathering.

Even if the few top Heavenly Prides were still hiding some strength, he was not afraid in the slightest.

Around the arena, a group of people watched Lu Zhangsheng standing still, their thoughts turning a hundred times.

Many people believed that Lu Zhangsheng was secretly recovering his Innate True Qi.

"It seems this person has consumed too much; I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat Yu Cheng, the arena master. What a pity……"

"Indeed, I also find that reasonable. This person fought one against a hundred; he must have consumed a large amount of Essence Blood and is definitely no match for Yu Cheng."

The crowd could not help but begin to discuss.

The many martial artists from Qingning Prefecture all wore worried expressions.

They also heard the discussions around them and clearly agreed quite a bit.

"This is bad, the Hall Master is likely in trouble. The ten arena masters have too much of an advantage; fighting now is clearly disadvantageous for Lord Lu."

Some people began to analyze seriously.

Fang Qing and her younger brother also showed anxiety.

The danger of top Heavenly Prides fighting is quite high; if one doesn't control it well, they might suffer serious injuries.

Even Qin Ruoshui, not far away, frowned.

She thought Lu Zhangsheng was being a bit too arrogant.

If he had waited to go up later, he wouldn't have encountered this predicament; after all, Yu Cheng's strength is not something ordinary Heavenly Prides can compare to.

Just as the crowd was discussing, an elegant figure flew toward the arena.

The speed was as fast as a thunderbolt.

In a few breaths, he landed in the center of the arena, revealing a white-robed man with a sinister face.

It was precisely the top expert, Yu Cheng.

As a powerhouse who had occupied fourth place on the Heavenly Pride Ranking for over ten years, he had suppressed a large number of Heavenly Prides and, having experienced countless challenges, was already battle-hardened.

Within the entire Dazhou Kingdom, among this generation, he was one of the most top-tier figures.

Except for the Holy Sons of some ancient noble families and the top Heavenly Prides of previous sessions, among his peers, regardless of talent or strength, he was the best of his generation.

"Lu Zhangsheng, admit defeat; This Seat won't make things difficult for you."

Yu Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, smiling faintly, his face full of certainty of victory.

In his view, Lu Zhangsheng had consumed a large amount of Innate True Qi and definitely could not defeat him at his peak.

Although taking the stage now was a bit of an unfair victory, as long as he could win, that was enough.

Everything is written by the victor.

Seeing this, the crowd off-stage felt some disdain.

To be able to say the words of a villain so grandiosely, he was truly the only one.

To fight the "drained" Lu Zhangsheng in a peak state, even if he won, it was only normal.

Qin Ruoshui's brows were tightly locked, and she was extremely dissatisfied in her heart.

This Yu Cheng was simply too shameless.

However, she had no good ideas and could only hope Lu Zhangsheng would not get hurt; after all, there was still a resurrection tournament later.

In the distance, several arena masters were also closely watching this battle.

They did not dare to relax in the slightest regarding this top dark horse, Lu Zhangsheng.

This time, they wanted to see if Lu Zhangsheng's strength was truly as terrifying as the rumors suggested.

This Yu Cheng was fully capable of testing it.

"What does Brother Ke think?"

Ji Wenrui gnawed on a chicken leg in his hand and even wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth, appearing extremely slovenly.

While speaking, he maintained a nonchalant posture, as if nothing was more important than the chicken leg in his hand.

As the second person on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, he hadn't fought with full strength for several years; anyone who challenged him was suppressed in one move.

Some speculated that his strength might not be inferior to Ke Yanfeng.

"Yu Cheng will win."

Ke Yanfeng spat out a few words with a calm face.

In his view, the two were only evenly matched, but since Lu Zhangsheng had consumed quite a bit, he was afraid it would be difficult to defeat Yu Cheng.

Ji Wenrui smiled noncommittally.

"This Lu Zhangsheng might not be that simple."

Dong Chenghan, standing to the side, shrugged; he also didn't favor Lu Zhangsheng to win.

"I'll just wait and see."

Several arena masters all stared at the Number Four Arena; the great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Above the high platform of the Main Hall.

Qin Chaoyang's eyes flickered slightly.

Lu Zhangsheng had already given him a huge surprise; even if he lost this battle, he could accept it.

According to his speculation, although Lu Zhangsheng had the strength of the top five.

This battle would likely not be easy to fight.

Just as everyone had different thoughts, the battle on the Number Four Arena erupted instantly.

"Boom, boom, boom……"

Yu Cheng took the initiative.

He unleashed his Innate True Qi to the fullest, and a powerful aura shot straight into the clouds.

Accompanied by bursts of violent gale winds, it swept outward.

It made the crowd off-stage feel a tightness in their chests, as if a giant mountain were pressing on their shoulders.

A group of people were full of horror.

"Such strong strength; is this the strength of a top Heavenly Pride?"

Just by the aura alone, the onlookers felt a sense of being unable to resist.

Lu Zhangsheng, however, stood in place with a calm face.

Like a vast ocean, no matter how the opponent applied pressure, he remained unmoved.

Seeing that his own aura could not gain the upper hand, Yu Cheng's face turned cold.

"Hmph…… putting on a show; die for This Seat."

He roared, and his domain was suddenly unleashed.

In the blink of an eye, an ocean domain appeared around the entire arena.

Within the domain, it seemed as if endless waves were surging, carrying a powerful sense of oppression.

"This person's domain is almost approaching two tenths."

The crowd off-stage turned solemn.

This kind of all-encompassing suppression was definitely not something a newly generated domain could compare to.

"Lu Zhangsheng is likely in danger."

A trace of worry appeared in Qin Ruoshui's eyes.

She knew very well that Lu Zhangsheng's trump card, the Killing Domain, was also about the same as the opponent's.

Wanting to surpass the opponent relying solely on divine abilities was not easy.

Just then, Lu Zhangsheng moved.

His body swayed slightly, and a tragic intent of slaughter instantly permeated the air.

It easily covered the surrounding ocean domain; not only that, it continued to spread outward.

It didn't stop until about two *li* away.

Roar, roar, roar……

Within the domain, blood-red mist was everywhere, and skeleton knights struggled to crawl up, their baleful aura soaring to the sky.

"This is impossible! When did you get a two-tenths Killing Domain?"

Yu Cheng was shocked.

He felt as if he were trapped in a quagmire, his strength suppressed by about two tenths.

He had collected intelligence on Lu Zhangsheng before; the opponent clearly only had a one-tenth domain.

This made it hard to believe, as if monstrous waves were surging in his heart.

"Could this person have deliberately hidden his strength?"

At this moment, he had to admit Lu Zhangsheng's insidiousness.

Even the crowd off-stage was full of horror.

They all widened their eyes and opened their mouths slightly.

The crowd also didn't expect Lu Zhangsheng to have hidden this big move.

At the critical moment, he reversed his own decline.

One must know that the power of domains and divine abilities almost determines the combat power of an Innate expert.

The Killing Domain is one of the best among them and is extremely difficult to cultivate.

A group of people didn't expect Lu Zhangsheng to be able to cultivate the Killing Domain to two tenths in such a short time.

Seeing this, Qin Ruoshui also had a joyful face.

She also breathed a sigh of relief; at least in this battle, Lu Zhangsheng still had a great hope of winning.

Fang Qing and her brother and the many readers from Qingning Prefecture were all full of excitement.

They clenched their fists one after another, a trace of expectation rising in their hearts.

Even Ke Yanfeng and the others in the distance were full of surprise.

"This kind of domain power is already quite astonishing." Which of them hadn't cultivated for decades to reach this realm?

They didn't expect Lu Zhangsheng to have a two-tenths Killing Domain right after stepping into the Innate Realm.

It simply refreshed their perception.

"This child is not bad."

Above the high platform, Di Zhiyu smiled and nodded.

Clearly, he thought highly of Lu Zhangsheng's talent and potential.

A glimmer of light also appeared in Qin Chaoyang's eyes.

This kind of talent was already extremely eye-catching, making him feel a sense of cherishing talent.

Regarding his daughter's matter, he also had new thoughts.

Just then, changes occurred again on the arena.

"It's not that everything can be decided by domain alone."

Yu Cheng gritted his teeth, his face full of resentment.

"Kill."

He suddenly slashed forward with his blade.

A brilliant blade light descended from the sky, like a massive galaxy falling into the human world, with fierce and peerless momentum.

This slash was made in anger, and his divine ability power was stimulated to the limit.

He didn't believe that after consuming a large amount of True Qi, the opponent could still defeat him.

"Slash."

Lu Zhangsheng was not to be outdone, instantly drawing his blade and slashing out.

"Clatter……"

The sharp blade Qi traversed the void, as if to cut everything, and even the void emitted bursts of roaring sounds.

The top-tier spirit weapon in his hand, the Jinhuang Blade, under the blessing of the divine ability Slaying Demons Divine Extinction Slash, erupted with a terrifying aura.

Coupled with the two-tenths Killing Domain's suppression of Yu Cheng, as one grew and the other waned, the gap between the two became increasingly huge.

The crowd around also stared fixedly at Lu Zhangsheng and the other.

The outcome of the two sides was about to be revealed.

Everyone knew that the two were likely trying to decide the winner in one move.

In an instant.

The two long blades collided violently.

"Boom, boom, boom……"

The violent roaring sound resounded through the clouds, and the surrounding energy splashed wantonly, rolling up layers of smoke and clouds; the scene was a mess.

After one clash, Lu Zhangsheng stood steadily in place, his face as calm as water.

Like a towering mountain.

"*Pfft*……"

Yu Cheng, however, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated several meters.

Every step poured force into the ground.

His right hand holding the blade couldn't stop trembling.

"Your strength……?"

He felt Lu Zhangsheng's Innate True Qi surging like a vast ocean.

There was no sign of excessive consumption at all.

This left him in shock.

One must know that the opponent had just defeated a hundred people, among whom were many top-ranked Heavenly Prides.

They were definitely not comparable to the trash in the Mountain and River Map.

With their full-strength clash, he was almost suppressed and killed.

This made it hard for him to believe.

The onlookers off-stage also looked at Lu Zhangsheng with horror.

"Lord Lu is divine."

Many Qingning Prefecture martial artists cheered one after another, the momentum grand.

Seeing Lu Zhangsheng occupy the absolute upper hand, everyone was excited.

Qin Ruoshui and Fang Qing and her brother were also full of joy.

This battle, Lu Zhangsheng was steady.

After defeating Yu Cheng, the position of fourth Heavenly Pride would be Lu Zhangsheng's, and he was not far from the final Kuaishou.

"Haha…… truly interesting; Yu Cheng is going to be unlucky."

Ji Wenrui looked at the Number Four Arena with a playful face.

He was also very surprised by the strength Lu Zhangsheng erupted with.

He was quite looking forward to a battle with Lu Zhangsheng.

Among the Heavenly Prides of this generation in the entire Dazhou, the three giants were clearly in a league of their own.

Now Lu Zhangsheng clearly also had the qualifications to step into the domain of the three.

All of this happened in an instant.

Just when Yu Cheng hadn't reacted, Lu Zhangsheng struck again.

"Clatter……"

Another brilliant blade light struck Yu Cheng's face, as fast as thunder.

"*Clang*……"

Yu Cheng hurriedly waved his blade to block; under a loud noise, he retreated more than ten meters again, arriving at the edge of the arena.

Blood couldn't stop gushing from his mouth.

His face was even paler than paper.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to admit defeat, that terrifying blade light struck again.

The person who struck was Lu Zhangsheng; he didn't give the opponent any chance, one slash after another, becoming increasingly violent.

Seeing this, Yu Cheng immediately stimulated a drop of Essence Blood and all his Innate True Qi to make a desperate strike.

Rumble……

A heaven-shaking loud noise spread in all directions, and the surrounding blade light surged like a tide.

The third slash.

Yu Cheng flew backward dozens of meters directly, rolled onto the ground after flying out of the arena, and stopped moving.

Lu Zhangsheng put away his long blade and stood in the center of the arena with a calm face.

The duel between the two ended with Lu Zhangsheng's complete victory.

Seeing this situation, the crowd around looked at Lu Zhangsheng with awe.

This kind of strength definitely had the level of those three.

He was a strong contender for this session's Kuaishou.

For all the Heavenly Prides behind, it was an easy suppression.

For a time, the field appeared very quiet.

Just then.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh……"

The Fortune Flood Dragon above Yu Cheng's head began to shrink violently, and half of his Fortune gathered toward the top of Lu Zhangsheng's head.

The cyan flood dragon above Lu Zhangsheng's head was expanding rapidly.

"Eleven *zhang*."

"Twelve *zhang*."

……

It didn't stop until it grew to fifteen *zhang*.

It tossed and turned above Lu Zhangsheng's head, and a powerful "Dragon Might" permeated the entire field.

It made the crowd off-stage feel a tightness in their chests, and they lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Lu Zhangsheng.

"Fifteen-*zhang* flood dragon?"

The crowd was shocked.

This kind of Fortune was no different from Ke Yanfeng and the other two.

The fourth giant of Dazhou was born, and everyone witnessed it with their own eyes.

Lu Zhangsheng's name was enough to spread throughout the entire Dazhou territory.

Even if he couldn't win the Dragon Head in the end, it was extremely terrifying.

"I'm afraid there will be one more peer between you and me; truly delightful."

A trace of fighting intent erupted in Ji Wenrui's eyes.

All along, his only opponents were Ke Yanfeng and the other.

Now, I'm afraid Lu Zhangsheng must be added.

These four were the only ones in a league of their own; the others were just foils.

They were not worthy of being considered his opponents at all.

Above the high platform, Qin Chaoyang also showed a joyful face.

This kind of achievement had far exceeded his expectations.

And he had a premonition that in the future, Lu Zhangsheng would likely become his greatest help.

He valued it extremely highly in his heart.

Just then.

A black-clothed man on the field flew quickly toward the Number Four Arena.

Then he arrived in front of Lu Zhangsheng and knelt on one knee.

"Marquis Wuyang congratulates Lord Lu on his victory."

While speaking, the man took out a brocade box and held it high, his face full of awe.

He had long been instructed to send a congratulatory gift when Lu Zhangsheng stepped into the top one hundred, so he chose this timing directly.

"Thank the Marquis for me."

Lu Zhangsheng smiled faintly and took the brocade box.
