The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 480 Signing in at the Crimson Trial Ground
The world fell silent.

The entire space and time seemed to have been completely frozen.

The area was so quiet that even breathing had disappeared.

All living beings stared blankly at the figure floating above the valley.

He was like a god, so powerful that he made all living beings tremble.

No one expected it to end this way.

What did they just see?
That's a heavenly tribulation!

"Gulu."

After a long while, someone swallowed hard, seemingly just recovering from the shocking scene that had just unfolded.

Even so, he still couldn't accept what he had just witnessed.

Not only him, but also the other trial participants here, as well as the beings from the Demon Kingdom, the Spirit Race, the Divine Kingdom, and the Nine Heavens Kingdom.
Every single one of them could not accept what they had just witnessed.

Just like the words that person exclaimed.

That was a heavenly tribulation.
They had witnessed scenes of people undergoing tribulations.

It could even be said that every one of the trial participants who made it this far had been struck by heavenly tribulation.

That's why they knew the terror of the Heavenly Tribulation better than anyone else.

The results of it?
What now?
They actually saw someone raise their hand and refine the calamity sent down by the heavens?!

In that instant, it seemed as if question marks floated above the heads of many living beings.

Is it really necessary to be so aggressive?
Is the difference between people really that great?
"No"

I don't believe it.

"This is impossible."

"He's just a saint; there's no way he could be that strong!"

"He must have used some kind of secret treasure or forbidden artifact to be able to refine the power of the heavenly tribulation in an instant with just a wave of his hand."

Suddenly, a series of thunderous roars that shook the mountains resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

It was a holy king from the Demon Kingdom who was roaring in the Demon Kingdom.

He was already a demon, and he became even more insane.

He couldn't accept any of this.

They were trying to find a reason for the incredible things Lu Zhou had done before.

His words, spoken with a demonic roar, did indeed seem to serve as a reminder to some of the beings present.

Their eyes, which had been somewhat stunned, lit up again in an instant.

"That's right!"

"He must have used some forbidden artifact or secret treasure to do all that!"

"That's definitely not his true fighting strength!"

A chorus of agreement rang out in quick succession.

People always like to subconsciously find all sorts of reasons for things they cannot accept.

They used it to comfort themselves.

To excuse their incompetence.

Lu Zhou completely ignored these clowns.

He raised his hand and put the Dao Source, which had stopped struggling, into his Chaos Pearl.

This scene was witnessed by all the living beings present.

Immediately, some creatures became anxious!

His eyes were splitting.

Roar!

"Be bold!"

"You are not recognized by the Source of the Dao, so give up the Source of the Dao to me!"

It was a holy king from the divine kingdom roaring in anger.

Eleven years ago, he missed the source of the Dao.

He has always regretted this matter.

He firmly believed that as long as he could obtain the source of the Dao, he would be able to break through the shackles that had hindered him for many years, achieve a breakthrough in the shortest possible time, and become the strongest being in this world in the future.

Now that the source of the Dao has reappeared, he absolutely cannot miss this opportunity.

They would never stand idly by and watch Lu Zhou take the Source of Dao away.

He always insists on fighting for his rights.

He's definitely a man of action.

As he roared in fury, he unleashed a devastating attack, charging towards Lu Zhou.

His actions also inspired other beings or trial participants who coveted the source of the Dao.

Instantly, shouts of battle rang out.

"Kill!"

"The Source of the Dao does not recognize him. He is not the chosen one. Whoever can seize the Source of the Dao will own it."

"It is rumored that as long as one obtains the Source of the Dao, the Great Dao is within reach, and one can at least become a King in the future!"

"We're already lagging behind him. If he forcibly refines our Dao Source, we'll have even less hope!"

"Now that he has incurred the wrath of the masses and is being besieged by the saints, it is the perfect time to slay the immortals and the best opportunity to eliminate him!"

"What are you all waiting for, fellow Daoists?"

"Who is willing to join me in slaying immortals and eliminating a formidable enemy on the path to becoming an emperor?"

"I come!"

“I’m coming too.”

"Kill them!"

"After defeating the Overlord Immortal, the source of the Dao will be determined by individual ability!"

Shouts of battle echoed incessantly, shaking the starry sky, causing mountains to shatter and ancient trees to topple.

For the source of the Dao, and to eliminate the great enemy on the road to the Emperor.

Some of the creatures present seemed to have gone mad, rushing up from all directions and unleashing all sorts of amazing and unparalleled killing moves as they charged towards Lu Zhou, determined to slay the immortal today.

Hongluan's expression changed drastically; her scalp tingled with fear!
This is not her fault; there are simply too many powerful figures charging towards them at this moment, and they are far too strong.

She had never experienced anything like this before.

The overwhelming barrage of devastating attacks made it hard for her to breathe.

She had no doubt that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she would soon perish under the terrifying power of this overwhelming attack.

Even so, she, like Kane and the others, did not back down an inch.

Her eyes sharpened.

She revealed all her resources and all her trump cards.

It was as if she was saying that even if she were to perish here today, she would drag a few people down with her!

She was prepared to fight tooth and nail.

But at that moment, she felt a warm and thick hand on her shoulder, causing her to involuntarily lean backward as the force of that hand moved her.

At the same time, a gentle voice that she knew all too well reached her ears.

"A bunch of clowns!"

"You can go to the back and keep watch!"

Hongluan turned her head and saw Lu Zhou's ethereal, expressionless face.

At this moment, with her fangirl and yaoi fangirl traits activated, she was almost completely weak, on the verge of a flood.

Her head was buzzing.

His eyes were blurry.

They have already ignored everything around them.

In her hazy eyes, there was only a figure dressed in a white robe with an ink-wash landscape design.

A world-shaking battle filled with violent aesthetics erupted abruptly.

In Hongluan's eyes, Lu Zhou was like a god, wild and unparalleled.

With a single punch, six universes resounded amidst the nine-colored light of his fist.

Those six universes were like a world-destroying millstone, possessing the awe-inspiring power to sweep away everything in the world.

Hongluan only saw that everything that stood in the way of those six universes was completely obliterated by them.

All the swords, spears, clubs, clock towers, star networks, sacred artifacts, forbidden weapons, divine light, and sword light exploded and were completely shattered.

"what"

"what"

A series of screams rang out.

Hongluan saw that with just one punch from Lu Zhou, all the enemies rushing towards them from one direction were wiped out.

The hundreds of enemies she saw were all blasted apart by Lu Zhou's single punch.

Only screams echoed between heaven and earth.

Only the blood, broken bones, and rotting flesh of the dead drifted and fell freely in the void.
Before she could react, she heard screams coming from another direction.

Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

Because she saw that the formidable enemy charging towards them from that direction seemed to be possessed.

It's hilarious.

She witnessed someone draw their sword and then swiftly slit their own throat.

Other beings, who had originally unleashed their weapons to attack Lu Zhou, found that their weapons suddenly reversed course and killed them instead.

She saw that when people were dying, they all looked just like her, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Those creatures died with their eyes wide open in disbelief!
"This"

"Could it be the secret code for soldiers?"

"There's no mistake, this must be the 'Military Secret'."

"I never expected that he would actually receive a secret inheritance like the 'Soldier's Secret'."

Hongluan heard someone screaming on the battlefield, seemingly having solved the mystery of why those weapons had turned around and attacked their own masters.

Her eyes lit up as she remembered that she had once seen some information about the "Secret of the Military" in a handwritten note left by her ancestor in the scripture library of her own lineage.

It's just a fragmentary description.

The patriarch said that it is the ultimate immortal technique of the art of war. If one can master this technique, then all things in the world, even one's enemies, can be transformed into one's own weapons and controlled by one's own hand!
Hongluan blinked her eyes, which sparkled with excitement, and waved her little fist with great joy.

"I knew it. Ba Xian must have practiced such immortal techniques. Only such legendary immortal techniques are worthy of his study and cultivation."

She's got a lot of mindless fans.

Her originally decent intelligence seemed to frequently turn negative after encountering anything related to Lu Zhou.

This situation is not unique to her.

Occasionally, even some of the Daoist couples in Lu Zhou would do this.

This is the ultimate expression of worship for a person.

The battle continues, and it is becoming increasingly bloody and intense.

Next, Hongluan saw even more incredible scenes.

On the battlefield, Lu Zhou was like an invincible immortal king descending to earth, capable of sweeping away everything in the world.

Not only does Lu Zhou possess overwhelming combat power, but even Kane and the Golden-Winged Roc King are rarely able to withstand his attacks.

They were like a pack of killing gods, tigers among sheep, slaughtering relentlessly and with unparalleled ferocity, each displaying invincible prowess, rarely encountering a worthy opponent. On this day, Hongluan finally gained a more direct understanding of the fighting strength of Baxian's group.

Not just her, but also those who died at the hands of Lu Zhou and his men.

At this point, the great battle had dwindled to just two battlefields.

One is a battlefield for Saint Kings.

One is a battlefield for saints.

The monks below the Saint level proved to all the living beings present from the very beginning that they were nothing more than cannon fodder.

They weren't even cannon fodder.

They were already terrified and filled with fear.

They may have already died without a burial place.

Or, seeing the situation was dire, they managed to escape the battlefield at the first opportunity, and then, not daring to linger for even a moment, continued their desperate escape to the farthest reaches of the earth.

What source of the Dao, what opportunity to slay immortals?
They dared not even think about it.

At that moment, their only thought was to get as far away from that battlefield as possible.

Even more blood rained down from the sky, and meteors shattered and fell.

The earth was riddled with holes, and the entire battlefield had been ravaged beyond description.

The void was crumbling, like a shattered mirror, leaving countless large cracks appearing in the heavens and earth.

This was the commotion caused by Lu Zhou and his Holy Spirit Dragon during their battle against six powerful Saint Kings.

Chaotic currents raged wildly within the void rifts.

Some unlucky souls caught in the aftermath of the battle were annihilated into blood and bones by the raging chaotic currents before they even had a chance to scream.

"kill!"

It was Golden-Winged Roc King and Kane charging into battle, their armor stained with the blood of their enemies.

They were like two Grim Reapers wielding butcher knives, raising their blades time and again, slaughtering countless people on the battlefield.

They cannot get involved in battles involving Saint Kings for the time being.

However, they have a lot to say on the battlefield at the Saint level.

This was especially evident in Kane and the Qilin beast he rode.

The hissing sound continued.

The dragon spear in Kane's hand, which he had reforged by adding celestial gold.

At this moment, in his hands, it was like a real dragon, revealing its sharp claws and fangs.

Often, within a hundred rounds, or even just a single encounter, a Saint-level expert would become a victim of Kane's gun.

They were either pierced by Kane's dragon spear, or had their heads chopped off, their bodies ripped apart, and their souls annihilated!
On the other side, the Golden-Winged Roc King and his Golden Roc are still suppressing themselves without limit, which prevents them from breaking through to sainthood.

This prevents Golden-Winged Roc King and Golden Roc from dominating the Saint-level battlefield like Kane did.

Even so, the Golden-Winged Roc King of today is not comparable to the one he was a few years ago.

He already possessed the innate skill of Tianpeng Extreme Speed.

Now he has also mastered the secret of the character "行" (xing, meaning movement/stepping) that Lu Zhou passed down to him.

This gave the Golden-Winged Roc King an incredible speed boost, as if it had divine assistance.

Nowadays, it's hard to find anyone in the same realm who can match the speed of the Golden-Winged Roc King.

Even among cultivators who are a whole realm above the Golden-Winged Roc King, it would be difficult to find many who could match his speed.

In addition, Lu Zhou also passed on the Golden-Winged Roc King Emperor Scripture, as well as the Secret of Fighting and the Secret of the Character "Zhe".

This is considered the standard package for Lu Zhou's followers and the female servants.

With these, even though the Golden-Winged Roc King has not yet broken through to sainthood, he is still able to defeat some ancient saints with very strong combat power in the saint-level battlefield.

But no ancient saint could catch up with him or cause him much damage.

The great battle has been going on for only a short time, and the Golden-Winged Roc King has already delivered a very perfect and terrifying record to the world.

Far, far away from the battlefield, some onlookers were stunned by the Golden-Winged Roc King's achievements.

They saw that, for the Golden-Winged Roc King, cultivators below the Saint level were all easy targets, easily defeated with a single strike.

They also witnessed firsthand the Golden-Winged Roc King's feats of defying and slaughtering saints on more than one occasion.

By this point in the battle, a full ten Saint-level cultivators had died under the Golden-Winged Roc King's halberd.

Although those saints were most likely beings who had only recently attained sainthood.

Even so, it's still quite shocking.

That was, after all, a rebellion against and a massacre of a saint.

How many people throughout history have been able to do this?

How many people on this path can achieve such results?
They looked somber as they compared themselves to them, admitting they were inferior.

"what"

"This god is unwilling!"

Suddenly, a desperate and regretful roar erupted from the battlefield of the Saint King level.

This immediately attracted the attention of all the creatures in the vicinity once again.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.

They saw Ba Xian as a god or demon, his figure so majestic.

His white robes were stained with blood, his black hair flew wildly, and he actually tore the powerful Saint King of the God Clan in two.

The physical body and the primordial spirit were torn apart in an instant.

He walked bathed in the blood of a saintly king, leaving behind one indelible bloody footprint after another in the void, pressing down on the void and causing it to collapse.

At this moment, some of the trial participants had not yet thought of this.

Whether it's this battlefield or this string of bloody footprints left in the void, both have become a spectacular relic in this human trial ground.

This has attracted countless people who come along this path to follow in the footsteps of the sages and trace the past, hoping to gain some insight from it.

Among these people was even Ye Fan, who had now embarked on the human race's trial path once again.

Meanwhile, most of the beings who witnessed this scene did not expect that this was not even the true combat power of the Overlord Immortal.

Putting aside everything else, at least neither Kane nor the Golden-Winged Roc King saw Lu Zhou use the "All" Secret Technique in this great battle.

"You want to run away? Did you ask me?"

A soft voice suddenly came out of Lu Zhou's mouth.

The reason was that the scene of that powerful Saint King being torn in two by Lu Zhou was simply too terrifying.

The remaining Saint Kings on the battlefield, who were also seriously injured, were all terrified.

They were well aware of the fighting prowess of that Saint King of the Divine Race.

Basically, they are on par with each other.

In fact, it is even stronger than two or three of them.

Yet, this powerful being was torn apart alive by Lu Zhou.

In addition, they are all now seriously injured.

This immediately solidified the resolve of the few remaining Saint Kings on the battlefield to retreat. Without uttering a single word or even a harsh threat, they all decisively turned and fled.

It wasn't just them who wanted to escape; on the battlefield where Kane and the Golden-Winged Roc King were, there were also saints fleeing.

But how could Lu Zhou and the others let them escape like that?

As soon as Lu Zhou's voice rang out, he appeared before a Saint King of the Nine Heavens Kingdom, stepping on the Xingzi Secret Technique. With a single finger, he shattered the king's skull and annihilated his primordial spirit.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

Then, before anyone present could react, Lu Zhou used the Douzi Secret Technique to create a Western Emperor Tower, which he used to capture another Saint King.

The tower shook, and finally a pinch of ashes was poured out.

After that, Lu Zhou's figure disappeared from everyone's sight again.

When he reappeared, it was another saintly king who died at his hands.

During this process, the Holy Spirit Dragon also erupted, slaying two Saint Kings who had been severely injured by it and Lu Zhou earlier.

This series of bloody battles terrified the remaining enemies on the battlefield.

Not to mention them, even some of the trial participants who were just watching from the sidelines were terrified.

Some creatures begged for mercy.

But it was all in vain!

In the end, they all died here.

Aside from a few individuals who initially fled when things looked bad and managed to escape with their lives.

After that, no one else escaped.

In this battle, a total of six Saint Kings and dozens of Saints died at the hands of Lu Zhou and his group.

As for those below the sage level, there are at least several thousand of them.

They were mostly beings from various kingdoms within the Crimson Trial Grounds.

After this battle, the entire Crimson Trial Grounds fell silent.

No one dared to provoke or even spy on Lu Zhou and his group.

They were terrified by the fighting prowess displayed by Lu Zhou and his group.

For the remainder of the time, wherever Lu Zhou and his group went in the Crimson Trial Grounds, everyone else retreated and kept their distance.

With a 'clang'!
Finally, another resounding bell rang out, echoing throughout the entire Crimson Trial Grounds.

Upon hearing the bell and seeing the teleportation arrays stretching across the sky...

Some of the creatures imprisoned here, and even some of the trial participants, were so excited that they almost cried.

That's absolutely terrifying.

They were so excited about the bells and the platform.

God knows how terrified and miserable they have been since that day.

They were genuinely afraid that Lu Zhou and his group would suddenly attack, or that they might have unintentionally offended Lu Zhou and his people.
Then he was caught by Lu Zhou and his group.

Now, the time for the trial has finally arrived.

Some of the trial participants thought that they could finally leave this hellish place.

Those beings imprisoned here, serving as part of the trial, breathed a sigh of relief while also shouting excitedly.

"Damn it, those killers are finally leaving. We don't have to worry about them killing us anymore."

The array platforms stretched across the sky, with array platforms soaring into the heavens in all five directions.

There were a few figures, about thirty or forty in total, who rushed toward the teleportation platform after seeing it.

Immediately afterwards, another series of divine lights flashed, and the figures of those trial participants disappeared from the array platform.

They were teleported to the second city on the Human Ancient Road.

"Let's go too!"

After silently signing in, Lu Zhou led Kane and the others onto a teleportation platform that appeared before them.

[Ding! Host has checked in at the Crimson Trial Grounds and has obtained one Source of Dao, which has been stored in the Host's Chaos Pearl!]

Ok?
Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow.

He never expected that what he signed up for here would also be a complete Source of the Dao.

As he was thinking these things, their figures disappeared completely from the teleportation platform.

A day later, the Crimson Trial Grounds became noisy once again.

An unprecedented uproar.

The creatures imprisoned here were overjoyed, celebrating that the murderers who had looted their clan's treasury, the national treasury, and the various medicinal herb gardens were finally gone!
