I can see the blood bar and my purity is extremely high

Chapter 634 That was close! Luckily I have no morals, or I would have been kidnapped.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, why have you come to this?"

The Burning Heaven Ancestor was even calmer than Lu Wenwu had anticipated.

He was already physically charged up and ready for a life-or-death battle.

But the Burning Heaven Ancestor remained calm, even coldly so.

A faint smile graced his white-haired, youthful face, but instead of making him more approachable, it added to his inhuman aura.

Similar to the uncanny valley.

He's more like a fake.

Because it didn't resemble a human being at all; it was completely disconnected from the reactions a human should have.

It's more like a robot in human skin pretending to be human.

There is no sadness, no anger, and even the seven emotions and six desires have been completely washed away.

Like a player playing a farming game.

To him, all humans are not of the same kind, but merely a part of resources, which can be quantified as data.

In the eyes of the Burning Heaven Ancestor, the emotions that humans should possess are considered inferior and have been completely abandoned.

It is even purer than the ruthless cultivators who cultivate the Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness.

Yes, pure.

The path of ruthlessness cultivates only ruthlessness.

The Burning Heaven Ancestor directly abandoned everything that belonged to humanity.

More than a human being, he is like a celestial being or a perfect person in a certain niche stereotype.

Absolutely calm, absolutely rational, and let the data speak for itself.

Compared to him, even the Superhuman Federation's Brain Matrix seems to have some humanity.

At least they don't pretend.

However, Lu Wenwu discovered by reading the memories of other powerful humans that before the Burning Heaven Ancestor went into seclusion, at least before he had fully achieved Dao Integration, he had shown the seven emotions and six desires.

However, this is even more terrifying than nothing.

Those people couldn't see that Lu Wenwu, as a being who had perfected the laws of the soul, was able to read deeper layers of information.

The Burning Heaven Ancestor is in disguise.

Whether it's drinking and discussing philosophy with other elders, giving earnest instructions to subordinates, or taking on disciples and caring for them like one's own children, it's all a disguise.

During this process, his soul remained completely still, as calm as a stone.

His various actions were nothing more than the "optimal solution" he executed after careful consideration.

Only now, facing Lu Wenwu, who is on the same level, has he finally shed his disguise and shown his truest self.

Everything before was false, all a pretense.

It's even possible that the current state is also the optimal solution calculated by the Burning Heaven Ancestor through information, which just happens to match his original appearance.

"If possible, I would rather not fight with Fellow Daoist Lu here. It is meaningless and will only weaken the human race."

The Burning Heaven Ancestor sighed in a "pretentious" manner, showing a helpless expression. Only a slight flow of aura appeared on his body, as if he was just putting on a show.

"They are just ordinary humans who cannot create much value. Why are you so angry, Fellow Daoist Lu?"

"Fellow Daoist Lu should also know that even if there are millions or tens of millions of ordinary humans, it is not as great as the help that one more peak Battle Venerable would give to the human race."

"If I hadn't discovered this matter, if I hadn't firmly implemented this strategy, how could my human race have reached this point so quickly in the past thousand years since we came to the Central Continent?"

"Fellow Daoist, you should know that when my lineage split off from the ancestral lineage, it was not considered powerful. We did not touch our resources or equipment at all, but only took away many classic texts left by our ancestors, Chi Yan and Lie Yan."

"A thousand years? You've broken the lifespan limit of a War Venerable," Lu Wenwu chuckled. "It seems I underestimated you, both in terms of your abilities and the sins you've committed."

"For me, this is not difficult. Racial fortune is a very useful thing." Ancestor Burning Heaven frankly said, "Fellow Daoist should have felt it as well, but since you have never merged with the human race's fortune, you are destined not to gain as much as I have."

Lu Wenwu shrugged: "Then you're mistaken. I didn't rely on the luck of my race to break through to my current cultivation level. Body refinement is the invincible path, why would I need to become a master of luck?"

"Body tempering? Then I understand."

Ancestor Burning Heaven didn't seem surprised; he simply nodded slightly.

"It seems that the legacy of our ancestor, Lieyan, does indeed exist. Fellow Daoist, after our lineage passed away, you took it and completed the path that our ancestor, Lieyan, could not finish, thus achieving great mastery of divine power by conquering the world."

"Even so, apart from Fellow Daoist Lu, with the help of the ancestral land's fortune, another Divine Realm expert should emerge. Such talent and such extraordinary encounters truly make this old man somewhat envious."

"Pshaw, you actually have feelings of 'envy'? Stop flattering me. Even if I talk to you now, it won't stop me from smashing your head in later."

Lu Wenwu chuckled and asked with interest.

"Now that you know I have a God-level expert under my command, do you still want to fight me? According to your logic and judgment, the best solution right now should be to surrender and offer your neck for slaughter, right? This would reduce the internal strife of the human race and better suit your interests, wouldn't it?"

The Burning Heaven Ancestor maintained his calm expression: "That's not the case. Fellow Daoist Lu's path is too gentle, your heart is too soft, and you are too easily influenced by base emotions."

"This is not the behavior of a qualified ruler. Being swayed by emotions makes it extremely easy to make irreparable mistakes and take irrational actions."

“If you, as the leader of the human race, make decisions, it will be irresponsible to the entire race. Given your character, there is a very high probability that you will destroy everything that the human race currently has. I cannot allow you to lead the human race into an abyss of no return.”

"besides."

At this point, a faint flame flickered in the eyes of the Burning Heaven Ancestor.

With each breath, the light flickers and fades, subtly echoing and resonating with the sacred fire of the ancestors behind it.

A powerful and formidable aura erupted and spread outwards from him, overwhelming Lu Wenwu's blazing and intense fighting spirit.

For a time, the two were evenly matched in this respect!

"The former Blazing Flame Battle Venerable has proven that although body tempering brings formidable combat power and unparalleled killing ability, it is not the best choice for a race's ruler."

“If you follow the path of an ordinary beast-blooded warrior, even with the cultivation and inheritance optimized by my lineage over many years, and rely on the luck of your race to forcibly cross that threshold and step into the God Realm, your combat strength will only be considered mediocre, and you might even be at the bottom of the God Realm in the Ancient Wilderness Continent.”

"By fusing the power of the Heavenly Dao with the destiny of my race, the entire human race becomes my source of power."

"As long as humanity exists, its power will never cease. As long as humanity perishes, its will will never die."

"How could you possibly defeat me alone? How could you possibly defeat the entire human race?"

Lu Wenwu grinned and said, "I have to admit, I underestimated you before."

Even if I don't agree with your "Tao", I have to admit that you do have something.

"However, I also have my own 'way'. Killing you is what I must do, and what I should do!"

"Let's go, let's fight somewhere else. This place is right next to the human border, let's go out and wreak havoc on the territories of other races."

"Regardless of who wins in the end, the casualties caused by the aftermath of the battle are something neither side wants to see."

As he spoke, Lu Wenwu lifted his leg to leave.

We can't really fight inside the Crimson Sky Holy City.

No matter how many protective measures this ancient city has, it cannot withstand the aftershocks of the battle between two divine beings.

Even if both sides have perfect control, they can throw all their pure power into each other's bodies.

The moment one side is defeated, the power that erupts from its body will instantly destroy everything around it, turning the area within a thousand miles into a desolate wasteland.

When powerful beings clash, the landscape is permanently altered.

"Oh?"

Before Lu Wenwu could finish speaking, the Burning Heaven Ancestor uttered a syllable that he theoretically shouldn't have made.

A hint of disappointment crept into those calm, even cold, eyes. "It seems I don't know Fellow Daoist Lu well enough. I never expected that the seemingly ruthless Fellow Daoist Lu would have such a side. In that case, I'm afraid I cannot keep you company any longer."

"Old Ancestor Burning Heaven said calmly."

"If Fellow Daoist Lu wishes to fight, then let's begin."

"Or perhaps we should just retreat!"

"what?"

Lu Wenwu had already taken a step forward, but he pulled his leg back at the last second before crossing the space.

He was even a little stunned by what the Burning Heaven Ancestor said.

"No, what are you doing now? Using the lives of the million humans in Crimson Sky Holy City to intimidate and manipulate me, trying to play a moral blackmail game so that I dare not act rashly and the two sides can just divide up the mountains and rule each other?"

"Have you lost your mind, Old Man Fentian? These are your people! To put it bluntly, they are your human resources. You're using your own people to blackmail me? Don't you find that ridiculous?"

Dude, is this something a human being would do?

Lu Wenwu was speechless.

This is simply ridiculous!
Absolutely absurd!

Go against Tiangang!

"I don't think there's anything funny about this."

The Burning Heaven Ancestor nodded without any attempt to hide his agreement, and his explanation was incredibly straightforward.

“Fellow Daoist Lu is a man of strong character, and he is willing to fight to the death with me for one of my decisions.”

"Even during the battle, he did not forget to protect the people in the city, and even killed only those involved in the plan without harming the lives of others. It can be seen that Fellow Daoist Lu is a benevolent and righteous person, and can be regarded as a moral exemplar."

"I have no desire to fight to the death with Fellow Daoist Lu; I only wish to work together on important matters."

"After much thought, this is the best course of action."

"Even if it doesn't work, it's worth a try. It's just a million people, a city, and some resources. As long as I'm still here, the human race won't be seriously damaged, and we'll be able to regain these sooner or later."

"Awesome, you're truly unbeatable. To be able to pull off such a blatant scheme, even Mobutu, the benevolent ruler of Africa, looks like a human being compared to you."

Lu Wenwu was so angry and genuinely amused by the actions of the Burning Heaven Ancestor that he couldn't help but laugh.

How could you say such a beastly thing so seriously?

They directly used the human capital as a test.

unbelievable.

However, it seems that the Burning Heaven Ancestor was unaware of one thing.

Lu Wenwu is not a person with any universal morality.

Everything he did was based on only one premise.

He is happy to.

Therefore, trying to use moral blackmail to restrict him is not only ineffective, but also completely useless.

When faced with moral blackmail, as long as I have no morals, you cannot blackmail me.

"Unfortunately, this means nothing to me."

Lu Wenwu's aura suddenly surged, and a blazing infernal dragon breath shot into the sky, instantly melting everything in all directions.

The quaint courtyard vanished without a trace in less than a moment.

The intense, extreme heat continuously radiated outwards, evaporating all moisture and igniting everything in its path.

Even materials that wouldn't normally burn became fuel for the flames.

Lu Wenwu, who had opened eight heavenly gates in succession, was surrounded by a materialized scarlet aura.

Thick, ferocious dragon scales were revealed, with scattered red and black lightning crackling across their surface.

"If you want to fight here, then fight."

Lu Wenwu assumed a boxing stance, a sinister smile on his face.

He merely lowered his body slightly, and the extremely violent pure power caused the earth to collapse, cracking open shocking, deep fissures.

At this moment, the Burning Heaven Ancestor, who witnessed Lu Wenwu unleashing his full power, was stunned.

He didn't understand why Lu Wenwu had suddenly unleashed his full power here.
Isn't he worried about the lives of the people in Chixiao City?

Isn't he worried about completely destroying this place?

He couldn't possibly not be worried!
How could he not be worried!
This guy even saved his opponent's life during the fight just now!
But why now?
At this moment, the CPU of the Burning Heaven Ancestor was overloaded.

He stared blankly as the pitch-black flames ignited one after another the human powerhouses that the other party had personally saved, burning them to ashes and leaving no trace of their bodies.

The Burning Heaven Ancestor could not understand Lu Wenwu's behavior logic at all.

"Why? Why did you do this?" he asked blankly. "You just went to great lengths to save them, and now you've killed them with your own hands. What's the point of all this?"

"Meaning? It means nothing. You can't buy my happiness with money."

Lu Wenwu strode over with a sinister grin.

With each step taken, the earth crumbled under this terrifying force.

The ley lines beneath the entire city were trembling violently, groaning under the unbearable weight.

"If I want to save them, then I will."

"If I want to kill, then I will kill."

"Why so many questions?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Wenwu stomped heavily on his foot, and the entire building complex began to collapse.

The nearest ancestral sacred fire altar was shaking violently, its tower-like structure seemingly on the verge of collapse.

"Although I've always disdained doing such things, out of a little respect for you, if I had to find a plausible reason for my actions..."

"When it comes to change, how can people not die before it succeeds?"

"This is a necessary sacrifice!"

Lu Wenwu grinned, and an endless sea of ​​blood appeared behind him.

The Military Path Killing Fist, imbued with terrifying power, was unleashed without reservation, wrapped in sharp, spiraling lightning and fire, crashing down like a meteor.

"Just like the life principles you believed in, I'm giving them back to you now."

"Their sacrifice was worthwhile to kill you."

"The sacrifice was worth it? Ha. Interesting."

Seeing the heavy punch hurtling towards him, Ancestor Burning Heaven was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his eyes flashed with amazing light.

Flames surged across the aged body, unleashing the power of the divine realm without reservation—a power never before seen.

Compared to the aura he exuded when he clashed with Lu Wenwu's earlier, this aura was more than twice as strong.
The Burning Heaven Ancestor narrowly dodged the Military Path Killing Fist. Amidst the tearing of the gale, his figure transformed into a fiery hurricane that rose from the ground and hurtled toward the horizon.

"Since you believe you are right, then..."

"Catch me!"

"Kill me!"

"Then, lead humanity to new heights!"
