The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 192: Wanyan Dharmakaya, only one step away from becoming the Supreme Heavenly One!
Deep in the outer land,

In a dark world, the sun and the moon are dim, as if emitting a gray light, covering the entire endless heaven and earth.

hum!
Suddenly, a low humming sound echoed across the heavens and earth. In a space filled with boundless demonic flames, stood a magma throne thousands of feet tall.

Atop the throne, a pitch-black figure had its eyes tightly closed, as if in deep sleep. However, at this moment, as if sensing something, it suddenly opened its eyes.

Suddenly, the flames in his eyes boiled up like a volcano erupting. The hot breath swept around, even shaking the space.

"Humph!"

A cold snort emanated from his mouth, deep and cold, as if carrying endless pressure and murderous intent. The sound reverberated in the air, shaking the surrounding demonic flames, as if even the heavens and the earth were trembling under his wrath.

"Yan'er has fallen..."

A piercing cold light flashed in the eyes of the dark giant, and then he waved his sleeves, and a huge space vortex took shape in the dark space.

Immediately, two shadows slowly emerged from the space vortex.

"Greetings to Lord Flame Sky Demon Emperor..."

The two figures bowed with respectful expressions on their faces.

"I wonder if there's anything I can do for you, sir..."

The Flame Sky Demon Emperor, sitting high on the throne, snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Someone has killed my child. Go and bring the murderer back to me."

"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead!"

"If you accomplish this, I will grant your Hidden Demon Clan's request."

"I will live up to your trust."

Upon hearing this, excitement flashed in the eyes of the two figures.

The evil tribes outside the domain have a strict hierarchy, and their Hidden Demon Clan is just a small tribe with only two Ghost Demon Emperors in charge.

If one could work for the Flame Sky Demon Emperor and gain his protection, this would be a tremendous backing. As long as one did not encounter the other thirty-two major clans, one could walk freely in this land outside the domain.

The Flame Sky Demon Emperor nodded slightly, then slowly raised his hand, and a pitch-black fire bead appeared in his palm. Countless hideous runes were engraved on the surface of the fire bead, emitting a heart-pounding demonic aura.

"This is the Flame Demon Pearl, forged by me using my own demonic flame. It contains a wisp of my child's aura. Holding this pearl, you will be able to sense the location of my child's murderer."

"Many years ago, I fought with the Flame Emperor and his aura has been locked onto me. It's inconvenient for me to leave, so please go there for me."

Before he finished speaking, he gently pushed his palm, and the black fire bead slowly floated towards the two of them.

Seeing this, the two men hurried forward, carefully took the fire bead, and then bowed to the Flame Sky Demon Emperor again before disappearing into the void.

……

Beyond the borders of the Endless Fire Region,

Between the vast sky and earth,

Swish!
Suddenly, a figure filled with evil aura shot out from the void in a panic, at an extremely fast speed, as if the god of death was chasing him from behind.

His face was full of fear and panic. He didn't even have the courage to look back. He just ran forward desperately.

Boom!
At this moment, a low roar suddenly echoed from the sky. A massive fist of spiritual energy condensed from thin air, like a towering mountain, carrying the power to destroy the world and smashing down fiercely towards the figure.

"puff!"

The figure suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood and was smashed into the ground without any resistance. The ground collapsed instantly and spider-web-like cracks quickly spread out.

When the spiritual fist dissipated, only a pool of bloody flesh remained in the huge pit, without any sign of life.

A moment later, a figure slowly appeared above the huge pit.

Lu Chen glanced at the tragic scene below with indifferent eyes. The Demon-Slaying Order popped out from his hand, absorbed a wisp of residual soul, and flew back into his hand again.

"Solved? That's so fast."

"In the past five days, this is the fifth Earth Supreme Great Perfection Demon General to die at Brother Lu's hands, right?"

At this time, three figures came rushing from not far away and landed steadily beside Lu Chen.

"It's just a small role, not worth mentioning."

Lu Chen stroked the Demon-Slaying Order in his hand. On the token, he could faintly see the blood-red word "one thousand", emitting a breathtaking pressure.

"One thousand Demon Slayer Points...Brother Lu, you are now an intermediate Demon Slayer. This speed is truly beyond reach."

Wen Ziyu looked at the Demon-Slaying Order in Lu Chen's hand, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but speak.

Lu Chen shook his head slightly and said, "It's becoming increasingly difficult to find the evil tribes outside the domain. I suspect they have a secret method that can sense each other's existence."

"Have you not discovered that as long as we successfully kill the foreign evil tribe in a certain area, the foreign evil tribe in that area will quickly disappear, as if they never existed?"

Lu Chen frowned slightly, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ziyu and the other two all looked stern.

Xiao Xiao said in a deep voice, "Now that you mention it, it's true. Every time we kill a demon from the outer realm, we can no longer find any trace of them in that area. It's as if they can communicate with each other instantly and evacuate in advance."

Wen Qingxuan nodded in agreement: "No wonder our operations have become increasingly difficult recently. It turns out they were well prepared."

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "If this is the case, it will be difficult for us to encounter the extraterritorial evil tribe next time."

"My Sky Devourers have spread out by the thousands, and the detection range has extended to thousands of miles, but still nothing has been found."

"The situation in the next ten days may not be optimistic."

Hearing this, Wen Ziyu gave a bitter laugh and said, "Brother Lu, your expectations are too high. The demonic tribes that roam the border between the Endless Fire Territory and the Outer Territory are all at the level of Great Perfection of the Earth Supreme, and occasionally there are even demon kings at the level of Quasi-Heaven Supreme."

"Facing these guys, ordinary contestants would be lucky enough to kill one or two of them."

"I have only killed one demon general at the level of the Great Perfection of the Earth Supreme."

"Among these contestants, there are only a handful of people who have reached the Great Perfection level of Earth Supreme. It is even rarer to find someone like Brother Lu who can single-handedly kill a demon general."

"Even if we still don't win anything next time, Brother Lu's current performance is definitely among the best."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Being at the top is not my goal, these points are far from enough."

"I've decided to send out all the Sky Devouring Bugs and give it a try, expanding our detection range to the limit. If we find nothing, we'll have no choice but to go deep into the Outer Realm and take a look at those guys' heartland." Upon hearing this, Wen Ziyu's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to dissuade them, "Brother Lu, why bother? It's just a competition. Deep in the Outer Realm, there must be a true Demon Emperor."

"If you go there, won't you be walking into a trap?"

Lu Chen shook his head, his tone unquestionable: "I understand. I won't go too deep. When the time comes, we will act according to the situation."

"It would be best if I could gain something. If not, I will withdraw in time."

"However, just in case, I have decided to refine the Black Bone Heart Burning Flame now. I'll have to trouble you, the guardians."

"now?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao's eyebrows slightly frowned, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes, and she whispered, "Why don't we wait a little longer? Refining the strange fire is no small task. Perhaps the Sky Devouring Bug can find a new evil race from outside the domain?"

Lu Chen's expression was calm, and his eyes revealed a hint of determination: "We must always make preparations for both situations. We can't just pin our hopes on the Sky Devouring Bug."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xiao Xiao sighed softly, and said with a bit of helplessness in her tone: "Alright, your life is your own anyway, you can do whatever you want to it."

"If anything goes wrong, I won't save you again."

Hearing this, Lu Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, nothing will happen this time. I promised Xiao Lin that I would help you win the championship."

Xiao Xiao looked at his mischievous smile, her face slightly flushed, and then she turned her head away, with a hint of resentment in her tone: "If you want to refine it, do it quickly, don't waste time here."

Lu Chen chuckled, and then said no more. He sat down cross-legged, formed seals with his hands, and spiritual energy surged throughout his body.

The next moment, he flipped his palm and a ball of milky white flame appeared out of thin air. The flame seemed calm, but it emitted a high temperature that made people's souls tremble, as if even the surrounding space was burned and distorted.

Lu Chen looked at the milky white flame in front of him with burning eyes, then stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it into his body!

boom!
As the flame entered the body, it expanded in an instant and turned into a raging fire, enveloping Lu Chen's entire body. The terrifying temperature that changed the color of the sky and the earth suddenly erupted.

"Lu Chen!"

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao's eyes flashed with panic, and he subconsciously took a step forward.

At this moment, in the milky white flames, Lu Chen's eyes slowly opened, and the flames around him seemed to be stagnant, quietly dispersing and turning into a transparent light shield.

"I am fine."

Lu Chen smiled at Xiao Xiao, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he had expected all this.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao's originally tense expression relaxed slightly, but she soon realized that she had fallen into a trap. Her face flushed, and a trace of shame and anger flashed in her eyes. She bit her red lips and said through gritted teeth, "I'm glad you're okay. I'll go take a look around. Let Qingxuan watch over here."

After saying that, Xiao Xiao turned around and walked away, his steps hurried, as if he wanted to escape from this embarrassing situation as quickly as possible.

Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled contentedly, then closed his eyes and officially began refining.

……

Lu Chen sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, and formed seals with his hands. He then practiced the Burning Technique. His body suddenly shook, and a tremendous amount of spiritual power gathered behind him. A huge crystal-like Dharma body slowly emerged, enveloping him.

Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya!

hum!
The next moment, countless milky white spiritual lights surged in, and wisps of milky white flames slowly poured in from the crown of the Tianyan Dharmakaya.

boom!
Feeling the influx of milky white flames, Lu Chen immediately started practicing his skills. Suddenly, the Dharma body in his body trembled, and the crystal sun between his eyebrows slowly moved, like a greedy giant mouth, refining all the milky white flames that poured into the Dharma body.

As the milky white flames continued to flow in, Lu Chen's Tianyan Dharma body gradually became crystal clear, as if carved from countless crystals, emitting dazzling light.

As the crystal sun between his eyebrows continued to rotate, each wisp of flame would be refined and transformed into pure energy, integrating into his limbs and bones, causing his aura to rise steadily.

In just a few breaths, Lu Chen felt that his cultivation was rapidly improving as if he had swallowed hundreds of millions of supreme spiritual liquids.

His mind was immediately shaken, and a look of shock flashed across his eyes. He had not expected that the purified Black Bone Heart Burning Flame would contain such pure and powerful power. It was truly worthy of being a spiritual fire of the Supreme Heavenly Level.

He took a deep breath, his mind turned, and he quickly calmed down, gradually immersing himself in the deep state of cultivation.

……

Time passed slowly, I don’t know how long it took.

Within the Heavenly Flame Dharmakaya,

Lu Chen's body was like a stone statue, without any movement, but his increasingly powerful aura made people understand that his condition should be good.

outside world,

As time passed, the crystal-like Tianyan Dharmakaya gradually shrank, the crystal sun between its eyebrows became more and more dazzling, and a circle of fire in three colors gradually emerged behind its head.

Gold, crystal, milky white!

The three colors represent three powerful strange fires. Of course, among the three, milky white occupies the vast majority of the area, followed by crystal color, and gold is the rarest.

The three flames kept flowing in the circle of fire, interweaving and competing with each other, as if they were engaged in a silent contest.

This stalemate of the three-colored flames lasted for an unknown amount of time. Finally, at a certain moment, the fire circle trembled slightly, and the three colors each occupied one-third of the area, forming a strange balance.

Rumble!
At this moment, Tianyan Dharmakaya shook violently, and thousands of feet of light burst out from its body. Its body, which was originally hundreds of feet long, suddenly expanded to thousands of feet. A vast energy wave burst out from its body and swept around.

The three-colored fire circle also shone brighter, and the three flames merged perfectly, turning into a dazzling halo, floating behind the Tianyan Dharmakaya's head.

Swish!
Within the Dharmakaya,

Lu Chen's body, which was like a stone statue, seemed to tremble slightly. The next moment, his eyes, which had been closed for who knows how long, finally opened slowly at this moment.

boom!
The moment he opened his eyes, billions of rays of spiritual light burst out from his body, and the brilliant light illuminated the entire space.

As the spiritual light shone, Lu Chen's body began to expand in circles, like a dazzling sun. Wherever the light reached, even the surrounding darkness was completely dispelled. Lu Chen looked down at his own body, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes.

He could clearly feel that at this moment, every inch of his flesh, every bone, and even every drop of his blood contained indescribable powerful spiritual power.

That kind of spiritual power was filled to the extreme, as if even a little more would break through his body and explode completely.

"Have you reached your limit..."

Lu Chen murmured softly, with a hint of emotion in his tone.

At this point, he had already reached the limit below the Heavenly Supreme. According to his estimation, with the terrifying level of spiritual power within him, if he encountered another powerful being at the Quasi-Heavenly Supreme level, he would probably be able to completely destroy them with just a single blow.
