Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 528 The Primordial Spirits of the Seven Realms Bow Down, and the Supreme Being of the Mortal World Reigns Supreme (Seeking Rewards and Subscriptions!)

Beyond the Tongxuan Realm, the chaotic void of the four directions of the universe surged with turbulent currents.

Sheng Yang appeared and then fled. If Lu Cheng were to pursue and kill Sheng Yang completely, even if the demon was well-prepared, Lu Cheng would have a good chance of success. However, he did not go.

Seventeen years of waiting have finally led to this grand event:
Led by the Tongtian Realm, more than ten primordial spirit ancestors from the seven great worlds of Liehuo, Xuankong, Jumang, Yuqing, Yinyang, and Dingzhang arrived together, each occupying a region, their imposing aura as vast as the ocean, stirring up the spiritual energy of the universe into chaos.

They either piloted large treasure ships, stood atop the heads of strange beasts, or hid within layers of Dharma realms, their gazes cold and fixed on the towering figure standing before the gate of the realm—the Taoist of Lucheng from the Heavenly Dao Palace!
Many people present admired this human prodigy, after all, it was this person who, a thousand years ago, defeated the Heavenly Dao of Ten Thousand Demons, slaughtered the Golden Crow Saint Sun like a stray dog, and forced the Five Elements Dao Master Kong Ji to ascend to avoid him.

However, he was blocking everyone's path to ascension, which was absolutely unacceptable.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this humble Daoist greets you." A Nascent Soul sword cultivator from the Tongtian Realm, carrying an ancient sword box and radiating sword energy that seemed to cleave the void, spoke first, his voice like the clang of metal on metal:

"This world has been ravaged by the Heavenly Dao of Ten Thousand Demons for countless years. Now, after the worst of times, the Heavenly Dao has been established and its fortune is flourishing. It is not something that a single world's cultivators can enjoy alone. We, the cultivators of the Seven Great Worlds, do not ask for much. We are only willing to share a piece of the pie. Please, fellow Daoist, do us a favor and help us avoid further conflict and bloodshed."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng couldn't help but chuckle and say:
"The sword cultivators of the Tongtian Dharma Realm are known for their arrogance. If one day they suddenly become reasonable, it must be because they can't win. Meeting you today, fellow Daoist, I know that the rumors are true."

"Stubborn fool! How dare a mere individual obstruct the path of cultivators from the Seven Realms!" An old ancestor from the Blazing Fire Realm, clad in crimson feathers and with hair like burning flames, roared and launched the first attack.

With a flick of his right palm, he produced a crystal-clear red jade divine seal containing nine layers of spiritual fire within!

"Nine Heavens Spiritual Fire Seal, Burn the Eight Desolations!" The Crimson Jade Divine Seal swelled in the wind, transforming into a thousand-foot mountain range. Within it, the illusory images of the Nine Heavens Palace layered upon each other, spewing out pure Yang fire capable of melting stars, ghostly fire capable of corroding bones and destroying souls, and azure ice flame capable of freezing the primordial spirit... Nine completely different top-level spiritual fires intertwined to form an impenetrable net of fire that burned the sky. The void was scorched and twisted, collapsing, carrying the domineering law of burning everything, and descending upon Lu City.

However, just as the ninefold fire net, powerful enough to dry up oceans and burn down the void, was about to touch the area three zhang in front of Lu Cheng, a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, five strange, swirling currents of energy, each containing the true meaning of birth, death, and reincarnation, appeared around Lu Cheng, like five long rivers traversing time and space.

The divine power of the Five Elements Immortal Qi—green, red, yellow, white, and black—rotates endlessly, mutually generating and evolving, forming an invisible force field around him that is constantly flowing, seemingly fragile yet indestructible.

The five vital energies in the chest are reversed and shifted!
The ninefold fire net, powerful enough to incinerate the heavens and boil the seas, seemed to vanish into thin air as soon as it entered the realm of the Five Elements Immortal Qi; its violent power suddenly slowed down.

The blazing flames began to twist and deform in a strange way. The pure yang fire and the ghost fire of the underworld became entangled inexplicably. The ice flames and the scorching flames canceled each other out. The spiritual fire laws that formed the fire net were as if they were being randomly pinched and rearranged by an invisible hand!
"Go!" Lu Cheng said indifferently, uttering the truth softly.

boom!
The ninefold spiritual fire that was originally devouring him was forcibly reversed in the flow of the five elements of immortal energy, turning into a violent torrent of flames that surged back and rushed straight at the Crimson Feather Ancestor of the Blazing Fire Realm with even greater ferocity.

"What?!" Ancestor Chiyu was horrified. He never expected that his powerful attack would become a fatal blow aimed at him! He hurriedly activated his protective feather robe, which transformed into a blazing shield, and at the same time, he summoned a golden wheel of flames to defend himself.

Boom!

A deafening roar shook the chaotic void, and a wave of fire exploded. The Crimson Feather Ancestor groaned and flew backward for tens of thousands of miles. His feather robes were charred black, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He had clearly suffered a great loss.

"What a bizarre and uncanny ability to reverse and shift!" The assembled Nascent Soul Ancestors were shocked and abandoned their last shred of hope.

"If everyone attacks together, I refuse to believe that his magical power is inexhaustible!" A burly ancestor from the Xuan Kong Realm, wielding a heavy bronze shield, roared, his voice like thunder.

His muscles bulged like dragons as he took a step forward. The Xuan Shield in his hand suddenly grew larger, transforming into a colossal bronze wall that blotted out the sky. It carried billions of tons of Xuan Kong gravity and crashed into Lu Cheng like an ancient divine mountain.

At the same moment, an old ancestor from the Jumang Realm, shrouded in a hazy green glow, unleashed a vibrant green vine whip. With a flick of the whip, it transformed into countless emerald dragons, each containing the wood element law that absorbs the essence of life, binding and sealing off the space.

The two patriarchs of the Yin-Yang realm joined forces to summon a massive Yin-Yang Taiji diagram. The forces of black and white merged, evolving into a chaotic field that imprisoned the primordial spirit and reversed Yin and Yang.

The Jade Purity Realm Ancestor chanted the Pure Light Dao Words, and countless demon-subduing divine thunderbolts poured down like a torrential rain. The Primordial Spirit Sword Cultivator from the Heavenly Realm then summoned a giant sword wrapped in endless baleful energy and cleaved it down from the sky, tearing through space!

In an instant, more than a dozen earth-shattering primordial spirit treasures and more than a dozen laws and divine powers that shook the void, some like mountains suppressing, some like heavenly nets imprisoning, some like divine thunder destroying the world, and some like giant swords splitting the sky, completely submerged the area where Lu City was located from all directions and from all directions!

Its immense power caused countless cultivators within the Tongxuan Dharma Realm to feel inexplicably suffocated, subconsciously looking up at the heavens and earth, as if the sky were trembling violently, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

Despite being at the center of such a storm of supernatural powers and spells, Lu Cheng remained unmoved.

The Xuanhuang Pagoda hanging overhead suddenly shone brightly!
The dense, almost tangible, primordial energy cascaded down like a waterfall from the heavens, instantly enveloping him.

This acquired treasure of merit is far superior to what it was a thousand years ago. At this moment, its light is pure and vast, and its power of merit acts like a physical barrier, forcefully resisting the Xuan Kong Giant Shield and Giant Sword Technique that were the first to fall and had the strongest physical destructive force!
Clang! Boom!
The deafening roar was like the sound of the creation of the world.

The Xuan Kong Giant Shield flipped back, and the burly ancestor's tiger's mouth split open; the giant sword technique of the Tongtian Realm's Yuan Shen sword cultivator was firmly blocked by the Xuanhuang Qi, and the sword blade could not cut through this defensive magic weapon.

Just as the Xuanhuang Pagoda was bracing against the peak physical attack, Lu Cheng's Five Elements Immortal Qi was circulating to its limit, and then he opened his mouth and spat it out!

The five-colored energy no longer permeated the surroundings, but instead spun wildly like a giant five-element millstone:
Yin-Yang Reversal, Marrow-Sucking Poison Vine, Jade Purity Divine Thunder, Chaotic Field, and all subsequent non-directly penetrating magical attacks were all drawn into this rotating Five Elements Millstone.

Transfer! Relocate! Guide! Generate!
The Five Elements Immortal Qi reveals its true mysteries, untangling the chaotic torrent of laws like the warp and weft of heaven and earth.

The power of the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram was diverted and blasted towards the marrow-absorbing green vine; the power of the Jade Purity Divine Thunder was cleverly shifted and struck back at the Jade Purity Ancestor who had summoned the thunder magic; the green dragons were stirred by the Geng metal power of the Five Elements, intertwining and tearing at each other, and for a moment, this void battlefield fell into a strange chaos:

Originally intended to attack Lu City, the divine power collided, neutralized, and even backfired on its master under the guidance of the Five Elements Immortal Qi.

"Even after a thousand years of cultivation, and even though I have extracted the Five Elements Peacock True Blood from Kong Yan and cultivated it into the Mysterious Heaven Divine Art, the Five Qi in my chest is still inferior to the Five-Colored Divine Light. The Five-Colored Divine Light can sweep away anything, while the Five Qi in my chest is only most effective at deflecting magical attacks, and its power is greatly reduced against physical attacks."

Fortunately, it can assist in cultivating the Five Elements Divine Powers, but it's not quite as good as it could be.

"Five-colored divine light, sweeping away nothing! How could a human cultivator possibly master this divine power?" The primordial spirit ancestor of the Jumang Realm hastily recalled the Jade Vine Whip, which had been severely injured by the Geng Metal Qi.

The primordial spirit ancestor of the Jade Purity Realm was desperately dodging his divine lightning, and the Taiji diagram of the Yin and Yang Ancestors almost went out of control. Both of them looked extremely ugly.

“He and we are both at the Nascent Soul stage. Even if we master the Five-Colored Divine Light, our magical power still has its limits! Such a terrifying divine power must consume a lot of one’s own divine sense and magical power!” The Nascent Soul sword cultivator from the Tongtian Realm saw through the key point with eyes like a hawk.

“Our magical treasures contain primordial spirit and divine consciousness, and their power far surpasses that of ordinary supernatural abilities. Moreover, we are numerous, so it is impossible for him to transfer them all and concentrate their power on one point!”

Strategy changed!

These dozen or so patriarchs were of one mind and worked together to adjust their positions instantly.

Instead of large-scale coverage or magical probing, all attacks abandon all fancy techniques, focusing on refinement and concentration, pouring their primordial spirit and powerful magic into their respective natal magic treasures, using brute force to subdue the enemy, like a boulder crushing a tortoise.

The ancient sword box was opened, and billions of Gengjin killing sword energies condensed into a magnificent sword aura that pierced through the heavens and cleaved through the starry river. This was the "Heavenly Slaughtering Sword Energy" nurtured by the power of the Tongtian Realm!
The Crimson Jade Divine Seal merges into one, transforming into a single, colorless spiritual flame refined to its extreme, capable of burning through the nine netherworlds. This is known as the "Burning Silence Divine Flame"!
The Xuan Kong Giant Shield shrank, transforming into an ancient bronze disc. The patterns on the disc lit up, releasing a mysterious gravitational singularity that solidified spacetime!
The other ancestors did the same, transforming their life's cultivation and the power of their refined magic treasures into a cold glint, a beam of strange light, and a purest attack of primordial laws!
More than ten beams of light, enough to instantly injure or even kill a Void Returning Great Power cultivator, pierced through the void, ignoring the sluggishness and partial displacement power of the Five Elements Immortal Qi. Like deadly meteors, they locked onto Lu Cheng's vital points and shot towards him in unison!

This is pure force overcoming skill, quantity over quality! It is determined to break through the absolute defense of the Xuanhuang Pagoda, penetrate Lu Cheng Daoist, or at least force him to give in.

The pressure suddenly increased!

Lu Cheng's usually calm face finally showed a hint of concentration. The circulation of the Five Elements Immortal Qi emitted an unbearable hum. Even the Xuanhuang Qi curtain hanging from the Xuanhuang Pagoda, a treasure of acquired merit above his head, would suffer considerable damage if he tried to withstand the concentrated impact of such a multi-dimensional cultivator's natal magic weapon.

Those Nascent Soul cultivators from the lower realms who are able to ascend to the upper realms are often outstanding among Nascent Soul cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm, whether in terms of temperament, perseverance, or combat skills.

But all of this was still not enough for Lu Cheng.

"Roar--!"

A roar that seemed to come from an ancient giant god boomed out from Lu Cheng Daoist's mouth!

A thousand years ago, during the sword duel at the Immortal Pool, Lu Cheng thought that if he won the championship, he would be able to receive another true teaching from the Taiqing Sect: the "Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Refining Demon Sword Scripture".

He had a lifelong passion for swordsmanship and cared deeply about it. However, after returning to the sect, the acting sect leader, Xuanjizi, did not teach him this sword manual. Instead, he handed over the sect's giant spirit ship to him.

The Giant Spirit Ship is a powerful spirit ship comparable to the Shattered Star Ship, and it is also one of the most important foundations of the Taiqing Sect. The successors of each generation are outstanding body-refining cultivators of the Taiqing Sect. By inheriting this ship, one can inherit the mantle and experience of the successors. The acting sect leader, Xuanjizi, wants Lu Cheng to focus on cultivating the immortal body of Taoism first, so as not to be greedy for more.

In addition, the winner of the sword duel in the Nuwa Sacred Realm's Immortal Pool can go to the Nuwa Immortal Pool to cleanse their physical body and improve their cultivation aptitude.

Both of these factors greatly benefited Lu Cheng, especially the inherited experience of the successors of the Giant Spirit Ship, which enabled Lu Cheng's technique of combining body and magic to kill to advance by leaps and bounds.

At this moment, his Taoist robe fluttered without wind, and a powerful aura, so strong that it seemed capable of tearing stars apart with bare hands, suddenly erupted!

Behind Lu Cheng, a hazy, ancient metallic giant phantom appeared. It was not a physical entity, but it exuded a vast will that could crush all ages—it was a projection of the Giant Spirit Ship, a manifestation of the supreme inheritance of the combat experience and the profound meaning of the unity of body and mind in killing that the Giant Spirit Ship had wielded throughout the Taiqing Sect!

A thousand years ago, the glory of being the leader of the Immortal Pool did not bring him the "Male and Female Dragon Tiger Demon Refining Sword Scripture," but the giant spirit ship bestowed upon him by the sect leader Xuanjizi was far more significant than he could have imagined.

Swordsmanship was merely a hobby for Lu Cheng; his physical cultivation was indeed far superior to his swordsmanship.

Faced with more than ten destructive light spots that had broken through the shackles of the Five Elements Immortal Qi and were less than a thousand miles away, Lu Cheng not only did not retreat, but instead stomped forward with his left foot!
boom!
With one step, the void of the universe seemed to be shattered by his foot, and an invisible shockwave exploded!

Giant Spirit Steps Through the Void!

With immense strength, he carved out a stable foothold for himself in the chaotic void. His figure transformed into a blurry rainbow of light, advancing instead of retreating, and deliberately crashing into the dozen or so beams of destruction!
The moment they made contact, Lu Cheng's body underwent unpredictable changes!

The Taoist concept of immortality allows one to transform and ascend to heaven!
His arms were instantly covered with black and red dragon scales, transforming into two thick and terrifying demonic dragon arms. His left hand formed a profound and ancient fist seal, carrying the will to shatter the void and reshape space, as he faced the singularity of gravity in the void!

Shattering Void Fist Imprint! This is the most core combat technique inherited from the Giant Spirit Ship. How terrifying is it for a cultivator with a Dharma Body to master the Dao of Space!?

The five fingers of his right hand seemed to transform into five heavenly blades, flashing with the light of the five elements of divine thunder—blue, red, yellow, white, and black—and pointed fiercely at the most domineering and swift Heavenly Slaughtering Sword Qi!

Five Elements Heavenly Blade!

At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a small, exquisite gourd that shimmered with purple light, which shot into the sky—the innate treasure, the Purple-skinned Gourd!
The treasure flashed with light, but instead of unleashing a terrifying attack, it opened a tiny, yet seemingly vast, void rift before Lu Cheng, a rift large enough to swallow the entire star field's entrance. The figures of Ancestor Yuqing, Ancestor Jumang, and the two Yin-Yang Primordial Spirit Ancestors were instantly pulled in, almost falling into the mouth of the purple-glowing gourd, silently and unnoticed, as if about to be swallowed by another universe!
Using physical strength to fight against the spiritual treasures infused with the mental and magical power of two cultivators of the same realm, it was inevitable that both would suffer heavy losses.

The Xuan Kong Shield and the sharp flying sword were indeed repelled, and the black and red dragon scales on Lu Cheng's arms also disappeared.

At this point, the two sides have only managed a draw, which is not unacceptable for the Seven Realms Primordial Spirit cultivators.

However, what was truly terrifying was that after the Taoist Lu Cheng broke through the strongest point of more than ten magical treasures, his escape technique did not slow down at all. He broke through and became faster and faster, his fist intent becoming tangible, tearing through the void and pointing directly at his target.

"kill!!!"

Lu Cheng let out a low shout, which resounded through the chaotic void like a decree from the heavens.

The fist, carrying ripples that shattered space, unexpectedly changed direction as it passed by, and charged into the core of the enemy formation at an incredible speed!
The first to bear the brunt was that Nascent Soul cultivator from the Jade Purity Realm!

This powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, confident in his profound understanding of the laws of space, intended to crush Lu Cheng with an invisible pressure. However, he never expected Lu Cheng's Shattering Void Fist Seal to be so exquisite, not only directly clashing with his Dao techniques but also repelling the pure and terrifying gravitational turbulence that enveloped his physical body!
"Not good!" Just as the Jade Purity cultivator realized this, a deadly killing intent was already upon him.

The aftershocks of the fist imprint, a fusion of the power of spatial shattering and immense force, slammed heavily onto the magical barrier he had hastily erected. The magical barrier shattered rapidly, like glass, as the fist pierced through, its force like a mountain collapsing, crashing heavily onto his primordial spirit and Dao body.

"Pfft——!"

The dignified ancestor's body was like porcelain struck by a heavy hammer. His dantian suddenly collapsed inward, and the pure qi surrounding his body instantly became chaotic and overflowed. His entire body was thrown backward by an irresistible force. What he spat out was no ordinary blood arrow, and his entire body was overflowing with essence blood.

His life force plummeted rapidly; he had been drained of all his vitality by a single punch!
Before the storm of magical power caused by the fall of the Jade Purity Ancestor could subside, Lu Cheng's figure had already drawn a strange arc, and he suddenly swung his hand to strike at the old monster of the Jumang Realm.

The cultivator whose magical power was no weaker than his own and whose cultivation was even higher than his own instantly perished. The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Jumang Realm was terrified and his expression changed drastically when faced with the sudden advance and sharpness of that terrifying Taoist.

He hastily unleashed his renowned Supreme Divine Wood Technique, combining it with his protective magic treasure to form countless cyan vines that coalesced into a divine wood armor, attempting to entangle and block the attack.

"Fellow Daoist, I swear a blood oath that I will never dare to offend you again, and I will never approach the Tongxuan Dharma Realm again in this lifetime. I beg you, fellow Daoist, for the sake of Heaven's benevolence towards life, and in consideration of my thousand years of arduous cultivation, spare my life!"

"Hey!"

This divine wood Dharma armor, imbued with the rich vitality of the Yi wood element, was instantly cleaved in two by Lu Cheng Daoist's palm strike, like boiling oil poured onto snow!

The palm strike continued unabated, the power of the five elements circulated, and the golden light suddenly intensified, carrying the sharpness to sever all laws and destroy life force, and precisely cleaved into the primordial spirit immortal body of this primordial spirit cultivator!
"Ah—!" A shrill scream, filled with the crisp sound of ancient trees breaking, rang out.

This Nascent Soul cultivator was brutally cleaved from shoulder to ribs, a terrifying wound appearing at the edge. The five elements' power entangled and corroded the wound, continuously annihilating his wood-attribute life force. His once abundant life energy rapidly withered, and half of his body was almost crippled. If it weren't for the powerful wood element source that barely protected his life force, this attack would have annihilated him completely, body and soul!

However, Daoist Lu Cheng did not deliver the final blow. He moved with lightning speed, leaving behind afterimages in the void of the universe, his speed exceeding the limit of a Nascent Soul cultivator's divine sense lock.

The Taiqing Five Elements Escape Technique, combined with the terrifying air-breaking power granted by the Giant Spirit Ship's Shattering Void Fist Imprint, allowed Lu Cheng to instantly appear in front of the two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Yin-Yang Realm who were unleashing a combined attack!

These two old monsters, one wielding the Supreme Yang True Flame and the other controlling the Profound Yin Nether Water, combined yin and yang to create a Taiji array diagram powerful enough to burn mountains, boil seas, and freeze stars, attempting to refine Lu City with their immense power of mutual repulsion and generation.

This technique was once famous throughout the Seven Realms, and it had killed several cultivators of the same level, making it quite formidable.

"Yin and Yang in disarray, endlessly cycling? Very well! I'll show you what the reversal of Yin and Yang truly means, the origin of all things!"

A fierce glint flashed in Lu Cheng's eyes, and he stretched out both hands at the same time.

On his left hand appeared the "Fourth Transformation of the Mysterious Heaven Divine Art: Frost Phoenix Transformation, Innate Freezing Divine Light," his palm as black as an abyss, like a black hole capable of devouring all things; on his right hand appeared the "First Transformation of the Mysterious Heaven Divine Art: Primordial Flame Dragon Transformation, Primordial Flame Dragon True Fire," his palm blazing white and condensed, as if the essence of a thousand suns had been compressed!

He actually used himself as a medium to forcibly incorporate the combined power of the Yin-Yang Ancestor into his arms, and then reversed and channeled it to unleash a single strike.

"Boom! Hiss—"

Extreme cold and extreme heat, extreme yin and extreme yang—two terrifying forces clashed and annihilated each other wildly in his arms, producing a teeth-grinding cutting sound and muffled explosions. The light of the Xuan Tian Divine Art on Lu Cheng's Dao Body surged wildly, forcefully suppressing and guiding this terrifying conflicting power!

"Edict!"

With a roar from Lu Cheng, he suddenly twisted his arms and shook them!
The Yin-Yang rotation power that almost burst his arms was actually twisted and fused by him with his immense magical power, turning into a chaotic ball of light about ten feet in diameter, with strange and ever-changing colors!

"go with!"

Lu Cheng pushed forward with both hands!
This chaotic sphere of light, which he had forcibly mixed together and made extremely unstable, carried an aura of destruction and crashed into the core of the Tai Chi array they were jointly maintaining at a speed far exceeding the reaction speed of the Yin-Yang Ancestor!

"Pfft—Boom!"

The seemingly unshakeable Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram was instantly detonated by this mutated and extremely chaotic energy sphere. The diagram couldn't even withstand a single breath before being torn apart like paper. The violent backlash directly impacted the two spellcasters!
"Wow!"

"Ugh!"

The primordial spirit cultivator who used Yang magic felt as if their body was being cut by countless invisible blades, their protective fiery armor shattering inch by inch, and their crimson hair instantly turning black and curly; the primordial spirit cultivator who used Yin magic fared even worse, their condensed Xuanbing armor and half of their Dharma body being blasted into ice shards and black mist by the chaotic energy, their primordial spirit weakened and severely injured!

With lightning speed, like a rabbit leaping and a falcon swooping, with the force of a thunderbolt!
In just a few breaths, Yuqing, Jumang, and the two Yin-Yang Ancestors, four powerful primordial spirits who were considered patriarchs and could shake stars with a stomp of their feet in their respective realms, were actually killed or defeated by Lu Cheng in close combat with the Shattering Void Fist Seal!

The entire battle situation was turned around in an instant!
A chilling stillness and terror swept through the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators of the Seven Realms. They had never imagined that their combined efforts would end like this.

Everyone present felt a sense of invincibility!
"Attack the world behind him! Attack the Tongxuan Dharma Realm! Distract him and force him to return to his aid!" The sword cultivator from the Tongtian Realm's primordial spirit was furious, his divine sense frantically sweeping across the cultivators as he transmitted his message.

This is the only chance! Only by forcing him to focus on defending his base can we break his almost invincible offensive rhythm!

Although he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, this sword cultivator understood for the first time in his life what attack and killing meant.

The remaining Nascent Soul cultivators from the Seven Realms instantly understood and attacked almost simultaneously the moment the Sword Cultivator Ancestor transmitted his voice!

They abandoned their siege of Lu Cheng and recklessly redirected all their magical power and the attack trajectory of all their natal magic treasures toward the world barrier behind Lu Cheng—the location of the Tongxuan Dharma Realm!
If we attack the enemy, they will have to come to our aid. It's better for both sides to lose than for one to win. Moreover, if Daoist Lu Cheng were to risk his life to return to the aid, then perhaps it would be a one-sided victory for our side.

More than ten different primordial spirit attacks converged into an unimaginable pillar of destructive light... These forces were already incredibly powerful, and now, in order to survive and win, they were unleashing their full power!
The target points to the profound Dharma realm!

If it hits, even just a small opening, the internal spiritual energy will leak out and the stars will shake, triggering a chain of disasters that would make Lu City hesitant to act.

The offensive was overwhelming, like a galaxy being reversed, and the scene of stars being destroyed was about to reappear!

Within the Tongxuan Dharma Realm, all living beings felt a great terror descending from the depths of their souls, and the light beyond the sky was so dazzling that it instilled despair.

Gu Qinghong and Jin Ling, who had been ordered to return to provide support and were in charge of the Divine Continent Formation, turned pale as they tried their best to activate the boundary defense formation. However, they were afraid that they were not up to the task in the face of such a desperate gamble by a multi-dimensional cultivator!
"wishful thinking!"

Lu Cheng's eyes flashed with a fierce light, but he showed no panic whatsoever.

Just as the destructive torrent that gathered the last hope of the seven realms' primordial spirits was about to touch the barrier of the Tongxuan Dharma Realm!
A magnificent, dark yellow pagoda suddenly emerged!

"Om-!"

A sound of unprecedented vastness, seemingly originating from the beginning of heaven and earth and the beginning of humankind, resounded throughout the land. The Xuanhuang Pagoda expanded rapidly, and the Xuanhuang energy manifested on the pagoda was no longer a misty aura, but a solid and heavy one, like a ten-thousand-foot divine waterfall!
It seemed as if an endless stream of acquired merit was bursting forth, and countless blurry yet solemn images of human ancestors appeared on the tower... These were the manifestations of the immeasurable fortune and glorious chapters of civilization that humanity had accumulated through arduous pioneering and overcoming of obstacles since its birth. Sometimes these were nothing, but at other times they were unparalleled power.

"Human destiny, the sacred artifact of Xuanhuang, merit that governs the world, and all laws that are swayed!"

The pagoda, carrying an unparalleled aura of fortune, traversed the void in an instant and appeared directly before the Tongxuan Dharma Realm!

It's not a block!
It's a town!

The Xuanhuang Pagoda sat down heavily, its base facing downwards.

boom! ! !
The destructive torrent unleashed by the seven primordial spirits, powerful enough to annihilate a stellar civilization, crashed like fragile ice and snow against an eternally immortal divine mountain.

There was no explosion, no earth-shattering energy release! Only silent... annihilation!
Wherever the dark yellow divine light of merit passed, whether it was sharp sword energy, heavy gravity, heaven-burning spiritual fire, bone-corroding withering light... all laws and all forms of attacks were forcibly decomposed, assimilated, and suppressed the moment they touched the divine light falling from the pagoda!
That devastating torrent was submerged, decomposed, and absorbed by the Xuanhuang Divine Light at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The Xuanhuang Pagoda absorbed this enormous surge of magical power, and its body shone even brighter, radiating a warm and peaceful aura, as if it had just been satiated.

The attack of the Seven Realms Nascent Soul cultivator was like an ant trying to shake a tree the moment it touched the light screen of the pagoda. It failed completely and did not even make a ripple. It did not even truly touch the barrier between heaven and earth that connects to the Xuanfa Realm!

This is only natural. A thousand years ago, this Xuanhuang Pagoda was already a defensive treasure of the Void Returning level. After being nurtured by the destiny of the Earthly Immortal Realm, its power is even greater than before.

"Uh!"

"How can it be?!"

This situation was far beyond imagination. The strategy of attacking the enemy and forcing them to defend themselves completely failed, and a huge backlash force rebounded back along the mysterious laws.

All the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Seven Realms who made the move were shaken to their core, their souls feeling as if they had been struck by an invisible giant hammer. The spiritual light of their natal magic treasures dimmed instantly, and they all held their breath to regulate their breathing. It was like a full-force punch that had all its power rebounded back, so naturally, they would not feel good.

"Lord Lu! We were blind and ignorant, offending you, and deserve to die! We only beg... we only beg you to spare our lives, considering how hard we have cultivated!"

Some Nascent Soul cultivators, seeing the tide turning against them, immediately fled, while others, their faces ashen, bowed their heads in defeat. This time, the combined attack of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the seven realms ultimately ended in a crushing defeat.

However, since these were Nascent Soul cultivators, Lu Cheng did not kill them excessively. Instead, he punished them and then let them go.
