Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 140 The Crisis of World Destruction
The vortex in Lu Ming's chest spun again, and the power of annihilation flowed back into the vortex along the mesh structure in his body.

His figure flashed again and returned to its original state.

However, even though he had recovered his flesh and blood body, he still felt a faint force of annihilation flowing inside his body. These forces were constantly stimulating his body, making the membrane covering his flesh, bones, and meridians even tougher.

At the same time, this layer of power continued to penetrate deeper, transforming his body bit by bit.

Of course, Lu Ming would not refuse to become stronger, but the only problem was that it would consume energy every moment to maintain evolution.

He also wanted to interrupt this evolution, but there was no way.

Because his body has sensed that a world-destroying star is approaching the human world, and has established a connection with that star.

The closer the star gets to the human world, the stronger his body must evolve to save itself.

It was obvious that in his current physical condition, he had no chance of surviving the moment the world-destroying star descended.

Lu Ming's face was filled with uncertainty. He still had more than three years left, and he had to acquire more energy within these three years.

I'm really screwed. I thought that after I seized the title of Marquis of Dingyuan, I would be the local emperor of Bingzhou, with soldiers, power and money. I will live a carefree life.

Now this incident suddenly happened, and his good mood disappeared in an instant.

……

"Crack."

Lu Ming hasn't been able to practice recently, but his body is still getting stronger.

As the stars got closer, more and more annihilation power radiated into his body. The vortex in his chest was responsible for filtering this annihilation power every day and then transmitting it to his body, making the strength of his muscles and bones become more and more terrifying.

Although he was just standing there, he always gave people a sense of oppression like an ancient behemoth.

This was because his physique and Qi and blood were strong to a certain degree, creating a kind of pressure on people like a natural enemy. As his body continued to strengthen, he felt that the opportunity for him to break through to the [True Qi] realm would come at any time.

However, as his body became stronger and stronger, all the elixirs and herbs accumulated in the Marquis' Mansion over the years were consumed. He had ordered people to collect them everywhere, intending to gather the energy of the entire Bingzhou to support him alone.

Now he was in charge of 3,000 Black Armored Army and began to recruit new soldiers as the Governor-General. In addition, those people from the imperial court were locked up in jail by him, so he acted without any resistance.

However, no matter how many martial arts resources the people have accumulated, they are far inferior to those of the Martial Temple.

Bingzhou has thirteen prefectures, and each prefecture has a martial arts temple, which contains a mountain and sea of ​​accumulated martial arts resources.

There are nine provinces in the world. If all the resources of the nine provinces' martial arts temples are consumed by oneself, can they resist the power of world destruction?
But what Lu Ming wasn't sure about was whether the Martial Temple knew about the impending arrival of the Star of Annihilation. If they did, it would be fine. Perhaps with the Martial Temple's years of experience, they would have the means to deal with it.

But if even the Martial Temple fails to notice anything unusual, it will most likely be unable to resist this world-destroying crisis.

"Brother."

"You called me?"

Lu Ming swallowed all the pills in front of him in one breath. The strong energy rising up gave him a sense of security.

Just then, Lu Mengzhi walked in from outside the yard.

These days, the old marquis's funeral has been completed. After Lu Mengzhi recovered from his injuries, he came back to pay his respects and has been staying in the marquis' mansion these days.

"This is for you." Lu Ming pointed to a long iron box on the ground and said.

Lu Mengzhi was a little confused, but still reached out to open it.

Inside lay a large crimson halberd.

"Blue Dragon Halberd! Brother, this..."

Lu Mengzhi was a little confused, because only each generation of Dingyuan Hou could possess the Canglong Halberd.

"I have obtained an authority by chance. I can't use this thing. If you want to step into the seventh level of martial arts, you can fuse with this magic weapon. If you don't want to, it's fine."

The Canglong Halberd is extremely harmful to the human body. Even if one possesses unparalleled martial powers, he can only live to over eighty years old.

"it is good."

There was a gleam in Lu Mengzhi's eyes. She had known that she could not inherit the Canglong Halberd, so she wanted to use the Huitian Sect's [Dengmo Relics] to break through to the seventh level of martial arts.

Now that there is an opportunity for a breakthrough, she naturally will not give up.

After all, Lu Ming holds the power, and this path to breakthrough is not only stronger than the path of divine weapons, but also has fewer hidden dangers.

"However, even if it's better for you to merge your authority as soon as possible, you must reach the seventh level of martial arts before the court officially confers the title, otherwise the court may force you to forge a divine weapon."

Lu Mengzhi held the Canglong Halberd in her hand, and she suddenly remembered something.

Lu Ming frowned slightly. He remembered that the old marquis had said something similar to him before he died, but the old marquis died before he could finish.

"The nobles share the same fate as the country, and in order to ensure their fighting strength, the court will reward them with divine weapons, ensuring that each generation of nobles who inherit the title will possess the power of the seventh level of martial arts."

"But similarly, the divine weapons bestowed by the imperial court are all overbearing and cruel. While they can grant a person immense power in a short period of time, they also make it difficult for each generation of nobles to live beyond a hundred years."

This method is actually also to ensure the rule of the court.

Otherwise, a smart person who controls military power and lives to be three or four hundred years old would be an unstable factor for the imperial court.

The only way is to let them change generations every few decades. Even if they encounter some powerful people, they can just outlast them.

"Based on the speed of the imperial court, they will probably send the imperial edict for the succession within three months. By then, the royal family should also apply to the Martial Temple to send a master of the seventh or even eighth level of martial arts. If they find that you have not yet reached the seventh level of martial arts, they will force you to forge a divine weapon."

The situation in the Daqian court is very delicate, especially with the addition of the variable of the Temple of Martial Arts, many things seem very strange.

For example, the Martial Temple eliminated the royal family's chance to seize power, but also became the most steadfast royalist. In other words, the Martial Temple became the guardian of the entire court's rules.

The royal family can issue decrees and mobilize the Temple of War to restrict the power of local governments and nobles, but the royal family itself does not have many means to directly suppress the nobles.

The Wu Temple itself does not covet power. They seem to be detached from the world and only come out to patch things up when problems arise in certain places.

"They want to force me to submit? That depends on whether they have the ability to do so."

Lu Ming no longer had any interest in these details. The crisis of world destruction was imminent, and he had to store enough energy before the world-destroying star descended.
