The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 165 Lu Chen: Today I want to follow the example of Senior Yandi and borrow your clan’s sacred object…

Outside the Fire Palace Stone Island,

The huge spiritual formation covering the outside of the stone island suddenly cracked at this moment, and three figures slowly walked out of the crack.

After they walked out, the spiritual formation returned to its original state.

At this time, the island where the Fire Palace was located had obviously been discovered by many people. Not far away, countless sounds of breaking wind were heard, and rays of light and shadows came one after another, obviously heading towards the Fire Palace.

Therefore, when Lu Chen and the other two walked out of the stone island, the many greedy and fearful gazes from outside the stone island immediately turned towards them.

But no one dared to take action first. It was obvious that the team with two Golden Dragon disciples was still very intimidating.

Lu Chen looked around, his eyes as sharp as torches, sweeping across everyone. Everyone lowered their heads and quickly retracted the greedy looks in their eyes. No one dared to look at him.

He immediately smiled and said to Xiao Xiao and Muchen beside him: "Let's go to the next place. There's nothing to see here."

Xiao Xiao and Muchen nodded and were about to leave.

Seeing this, the people around looked at each other in confusion, but no one dared to take the first step.

But at this time,

Hey.

The sound of faint footsteps was heard, and a figure slowly walked out from the void and blocked the three people.

The figure had fiery red hair that looked like burning flames, and red magma was flowing on his body. The whole person looked like a volcano, emitting a faint aura of extremely violent and fiery heat.

And when that figure appeared, the temperature between heaven and earth suddenly became scorching hot.

"Lu Chen, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

At the same time, a low voice rang out, with a hint of teasing and temptation.

"What treasures did you get in that Fire Palace? Why don't you share them with everyone so we can have a broader view?"

Lu Chen paused, narrowed his eyes, looked up at the figure blocking his way, and said in a cold tone, "Second on the Strongest List, Zhu Yan?"

The figure smiled, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes, and said, "I didn't expect Brother Lu to recognize Zhu. That's really flattering. I don't deserve to be second on the Strongest List. I think I should be first."

"Brother Lu, do you agree?"

"Heh, are the people of the Yanling tribe so shameless?"

At this time, a playful laugh was heard.

Xiao Xiao, who was standing aside, glanced sideways slightly and her eyes fell on Zhu Yan. A playful smile appeared on her charming face.

"You are……"

Zhu Yan glanced at Xiao Xiao and frowned slightly, because he sensed a very dangerous aura from the latter, which was no less dangerous than Lu Chen.

Xiao Xiao smiled, and the colorful little snake crawled out from her shoulder again, spitting out its tongue at Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan stared at the colorful little snake, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his expression changed: "Swallowing Sky Python? Are you from the Endless Fire Region? Who is Yan Di to you?!"

"My father, of course."

Xiao Xiao smiled faintly and shrugged, not hiding anything.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan's eyes seemed to burst into flames. He took a deep breath and stared at Xiao Xiao. A raging flame burst out from his body, and even the sky turned dark red at this moment.

"In that case, you all stay."

"Today, I will settle the vengeance of the Flame Emperor stealing the fire!"

"Hey, do you think too highly of yourself? Do you think you can keep us here? Just yelling here, I'm still here."

At this time, Lu Chen on the side finally couldn't help it, stepped forward and said with dissatisfaction.

"You are just seeking fame and reputation. You are a centuries-old monster who has been reborn in someone else's body. You dare to challenge me? Get out of the way. I will deal with you later."

Zhu Yan showed disdain on his face and did not take Lu Chen seriously at all. Instead, he looked at Xiao Xiao with a serious expression, as if that was his biggest enemy in life.

Hearing this, Lu Chen's face darkened. He suppressed the anger in his heart, stretched out his hand, and a crystal-like purple-gold flaming sword appeared in his hand, which he held tightly.

"Sister Xiao Xiao, please move aside. I want to see what kind of people come out of the Yanling Clan. They are so arrogant. The Yan Emperor gave them a good beating back then. Today, I, Lu Chen, will follow the example of my predecessors and teach these arrogant guys a lesson!"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao's eyebrows slightly curved, and her smile turned into a crescent moon. Under the veil, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She gently patted Lu Chen's shoulder and said with pretended concern: "Be careful, Mr. Lu, the people of the Yanling tribe are not easy to deal with. If you really can't help it, don't be stubborn. I'm still here..."

Seeing this, Zhu Yan's eyes flashed with contempt, and he said with disdain: "You old bastard who relies on women for support, even if I, Zhu Yan, only use one hand, I can easily suppress a fool like you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his hand, and a ball of blazing light rose in his palm. A red spear slowly appeared in his hand. There seemed to be flames flowing on the spear, emitting a heart-pounding spiritual power fluctuation.

This is actually a low-level holy object!
Obviously, although Zhu Yan's tone was arrogant, his actions were extremely cautious. The first move he made was to take out the holy object he was carrying.

Seeing this, Lu Chen snorted coldly, and the purple-gold flaming sword in his hand trembled slightly. A red talisman quietly merged into the sword, and the flame on the sword suddenly rose, emitting a dazzling light.

He took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body surged wildly. He pointed the tip of his sword directly at Zhu Yan and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and show us the real thing!"

After saying that, Lu Chen thrust out with his sword, and the majestic sword energy soared into the sky!

boom!
I saw a dazzling sword light across the void, and thousands of sword energies rushed out, like a long river of sword energy roaring!

Wherever it passed, the surrounding space was instantly riddled with holes. The river of sword energy was like a huge divine sword thousands of feet long, carrying indescribable sharp sword energy, sweeping directly towards Zhu Yan.

At this moment, Lu Chen fully displayed the strength of the crystallized spiritual power, and the move he performed was almost a real magical power!
Zhu Yan raised his head, the river of sword energy reflected in his pupils. His expression became extremely solemn at this moment. This sword was indeed amazing.

With his current strength, it would be difficult for him to take it on without relying on external things.

Immediately, he clenched his palms, and the spiritual power in his body burst out without reservation, pouring into the holy spear. The red spiritual power soared into the sky, and he thrust the spear straight out, and raging flames erupted like a volcano!

boom!
At the moment of collision, the red light of the sword exploded, and as the sword energy raged, huge cracks quickly spread in the surrounding space.

The red light suddenly exploded at this moment.

The sword energy swept past, actually crushing all of the fiery red spiritual power into pieces.

A flash of horror flashed across Zhu Yan's eyes. The fierceness of the opponent's sword energy was far beyond his expectations.

He shook his arm and retreated violently, not daring to confront the sharp edge again.

Swish!
However, just as he retreated, the lightning-fast sword light tore through the space, and then rushed towards Zhu Yan in front of his horrified gaze.

The sword light swept across, passed through the space, and landed heavily on Zhu Yan's chest.

Boom!

Zhu Yan's body was suddenly hit hard, and he flew backwards in a mess, spurting out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale and his eyes were full of horror.

"Spiritual power crystallizes..." Zhu Yan steadied his body in mid-air, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Lu Chen not far away, his eyes full of horror.

He had felt the taste of death before, and his spiritual power had crystallized, which was a method far beyond any divine power. If Lu Chen had wanted to kill him just now, he would have had no way of survival.

Victory or defeat happened too quickly.

He couldn't even take a single blow.

After one sword strike, Lu Chen looked around, and the crowd watching around him suddenly dispersed. Rays of spiritual light shot up into the sky and scattered in all directions.

They looked as if they were afraid that Lu Chen would also hit them with a sword.

Lu Chen turned his head and looked quietly at Zhu Yan who was not far away. He said, "Your skills are not bad. You can even take my full-strength sword. However, with your skills, I don't think you deserve to be second on the Strongest List. Su Qingyin also took several of my swords."

"If you see me next time, remember to take a detour. Otherwise, I will chop you down with my sword once I see you."

Zhu Yan had an ugly look on his face and was shaking with anger. But when he thought of the grace of that sword just now, he was speechless for a moment. His slightly trembling appearance had lost his previous majesty.

"it is good."

After saying that, Zhu Yan gritted his teeth, suppressed the frustration in his heart, and turned to leave.

At this moment, a faint voice resounded behind him.

"Leave the holy relic behind."

Flames suddenly rose in Zhu Yan's eyes, but he still threw the spear in his hand to Lu Chen, and then turned into a stream of light, soaring into the sky, and fled into the distance at a high speed!
He grabbed the crimson spear with one hand. The spear trembled slightly and was about to leave with its master. Crystal-like flames rose up and enveloped the crimson spear in the blink of an eye.

Then a cold light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, and he said coldly: "Behave yourself. Since I can defeat your master, why can't I deal with you? If you move again, be careful that I will re-refine you."

Upon hearing this, the trembling spear body trembled slightly, and then became quiet.

Seeing this, Lu Chen poured crystal-like flames into the spear, burning away the mark that Zhu Yan had left on the spear, and put it into the Qiankun bracelet.

"Let's go. After what happened, I think no one will dare to mess with us."

Lu Chen turned to look at Xiao Xiao and Muchen and said with a smile.

Xiao Xiao crossed her arms, staring at Lu Chen with a burning gaze. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile. She raised her eyebrows, her tone teasing, "Very impressive, Old Monster Lu. That posture just now was truly impressive."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled, rarely showing any modesty, and said, "That guy is not weak, he's just too arrogant. If he had realized that I used the holy object just now, he might not have given up."

Xiao Xiao chuckled and shook his head, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "Even if you used the holy object, you are still much stronger than him. The crystallization of spiritual power, the supreme realm, I have never seen such a method, not even in our Endless Fire Region."

"Your strength is becoming increasingly difficult to fathom."

Lu Chen touched his nose and chuckled, but didn't say much. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Let's go. We're going to the Dragon Mansion next. Time is running out. Even if we have the map, there's no guarantee that the other eight mansions won't be discovered by others first."

Xiao Xiao nodded, then stepped out and headed towards the Dragon Mansion.

Seeing this, Lu Chen and Muchen followed closely behind.

……

A few days later,

Among the nine palaces, Feng Palace is located.

In the messy hall, a green feather fan was suspended in Lu Chen's hand. After obtaining the low-level sacred artifact, the Wind God Fan, he turned to look at Muchen and Xiao Xiao and said with a smile, "Now it's time to divide the treasure."

"We have explored five of the nine prefectures. According to current intelligence, the remaining four have already been conquered."

"Among the five mansions, the Dragon Mansion currently has no sacred artifacts, but it does have a Dragon Spirit Pearl that is as valuable as a sacred artifact. It has already been swallowed by Xiao Cai."

"Even if Sister Xiao Xiao took a holy object, what do you think?"

Xiao Xiao touched the colorful little snake on his shoulder and said casually, "Okay."

"Among the five palaces, the remaining four sacred objects are the Red Dragon Bow from the Fire Palace, the Vast Sea Pearl from the Water Palace, the Golden Edge Sword from the Gold Palace, and the Wind God Fan from the Wind Palace. Xiaomu, which one do you want?"

"Do I have one too, Brother Lu?"

Hearing this, Muchen rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

He thought that Lu Chen wanted him to work illegally and would not give him any other compensation except the Immortal Golden Body.

Now it seems that Brother Lu is a very kind person.

"Of course, your contribution in breaking the formation is significant and worthy of a holy relic."

Lu Chen smiled and nodded.

"Then I want the Wind God Fan."

Mu Chen hesitated for a moment and thought for a moment.

"it is good."

As he spoke, Lu Chen handed the green fan in his hand to Mu Chen and said, "Sacred objects are difficult to refine. Your realm is too low. Let's stay here for a few days. After you have fully mastered the Wind God Fan, we will continue our journey."

Muchen took the Wind God Fan, nodded, and without further ado, walked to the center of the hall.

There is a secluded pond there, with water lilies growing in the water. Wisps of green smoke rise up, turning into streams of pure and powerful spiritual power.

Muchen entered the pool, sat cross-legged, and began to refine the Wind God Fan.

His cultivation was insufficient, and refining the holy object required a large amount of supreme spiritual liquid as a supplement. The supreme spiritual liquid in this pool of water could just help him in refining.

Seeing this, Lu Chen turned to look at Xiao Xiao beside him and said, "Sister Xiao Xiao, protect me. I will practice for a while."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao nodded slightly and said with a cold expression: "I'll go outside the hall. Call me when you're ready."

After saying that, Xiao Xiao stretched out his long legs and walked out of the hall.

……

Soon after,

Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the ground. Since Muchen was beside him, he did not place the note in front of him this time. He just recited silently in his heart.

"Start simulation."

A full month has passed since leaving Daluo Realm, and it is obviously time for simulation again.

Immediately, a familiar mechanical voice sounded in Lu Chen's mind, and a string of words slowly emerged in his mind.

　To clarify, although the update has become one chapter per day, the update is still two chapters in total. The chapter names are really giving me a headache, so I just combined them into one.
