The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 198 Return to Tianluo, the Immortal Grade Emperor Sword!

"Why, my friend, are you interested in Thunder God Palace?"

Elder Chihuo showed a hint of amusement in his eyes, and looked at Lu Chen with a smile.

Lu Chen smiled slightly, placed a Qiankun bracelet on the counter, handed it over, and said, "Elder, please explain it to me."

Elder Chihuo chuckled, waved his hand lightly, and the Qiankun bracelet was put into his sleeve.

He stroked his long beard, a shrewd look in his eyes, and said slowly: "My friend, you know how to behave. In that case, I will have a few more words with you."

"The Thunder God Palace is a superpower that has been passed down since ancient times. It has a profound foundation. Although it is not as powerful as before, it still has a Supreme Elder of the Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme sitting in charge."

"Although there is only one Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme in charge, that Grand Elder is extremely powerful. He once single-handedly defeated three Immortal Grade Heavenly Supremes and preserved the foundation of the Thunder God Palace."

"Even their Palace Master is no ordinary person. Rumor has it that he is only at the Quasi-Heavenly Supreme level. However, with the Supreme Heart Demon Sutra passed down by the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor, he possesses the power to fight against the super-powerful Heavenly Supreme level."

"Although this rumor is a bit exaggerated, the Supreme Heart Demon Sutra is only one of the five great magical powers that protect the Thunder God Palace."

"God knows how many magical powers the Palace Master of the Thunder God Palace has cultivated."

"What's more, the Thunder God Palace possesses the 20th-ranked Supreme Dharmakaya in the Great Thousand World—the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Body. This Dharmakaya is enough to make the Thunder God Palace's inheritance rank among the top superpowers."

"So, even though the Thunder God Palace only has one Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme in charge, its foundation is still one of the best superpowers in the entire universe."

After listening to this, Lu Chen's eyes showed a trace of thought. After a moment of silence, he continued to ask, "Is the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Body the supreme Dharma body that the Thunder Emperor cultivated back then?"

Elder Chihuo shook his head and said, "No, that's not the case. The Supreme Dharmakaya that the Thunder Emperor cultivated back then was created by him. It was simply called the Thunder Emperor Dharmakaya. The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Body was just the precursor to the Thunder Emperor Dharmakaya."

"Doesn't the Thunder God Palace have the inheritance of the Thunder Emperor's Dharma Body?"

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion.

"No, the Thunder God Palace only received a small part of the ancient Thunder Palace's inheritance. It's not complete, but with just this small part of the inheritance, a powerful immortal-grade Heavenly Supreme level person was born in the Thunder God Palace."

"And that Western Heaven War Emperor who inherited the War Emperor's legacy, each and every one of them is so lucky..."

When Elder Chihuo said this, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

Thinking back, he has been practicing for hundreds of years, but is still lingering in the middle and late stages of the Spiritual Grade Heavenly Supreme, while those younger generations are already the best among the Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.

Lu Chen nodded, bowed, and thanked him: "Thank you for telling me, Elder."

Elder Chihuo waved his hand and said with a smile, "You are too polite, my friend. These are just some things that everyone knows. The old fellows who have lived a long time know it."

"If you want to visit the Thunder God Palace in the future, I can give you a suggestion."

"Those Thunder Cultivators in the Thunder God Palace hate evil and hate evil with all their might. Ordinary people are not taken seriously by them. If you rashly come to their door, you will probably be treated to a closed-door banquet."

"However, they do respect those who dare to fight against the evil tribes from outside the domain. If you show me the guest token of my Daqian Palace, you should be able to gain their favor."

As he spoke, Elder Chihuo took out a silver token from somewhere and handed it to Lu Chen with a smile.

Lu Chen was stunned and took the token.

In the center of the token were engraved four large characters in a flamboyant style: "Da Qian Ke Qing". At the bottom of the token was another line of small characters, which was his own name - Lu Chen.

"Elder Chihuo, this..."

Lu Chen held the token, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"My friend, please accept this. This is what you deserve. Don't forget, once you reach 3,000 Demon Slayer Points and are promoted to a Senior Demon Slayer, you will be granted the title of Guest Official by my Daqian Palace."

Elder Chihuo stroked his beard and smiled.

"I see. It was my negligence."

A hint of understanding flashed across Lu Chen's eyes. He nodded and immediately bowed, saying, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Elder. I have something important to do, so I won't stay any longer."

"Junior, take your leave."

Elder Chihuo nodded with a smile and said, "You are too polite, my friend. If you need anything in the future, just come to me."

Lu Chen bowed and then left Daqian Tower with Su Qingyin.

After walking out of Daqian Building,
"Sir, where are we going next?"

Su Qingyin turned her head and looked at Lu Chen beside her.

"It's time to go to the teleportation array in the center of Yancheng Square."

Lu Chen looked at the gorgeous flames rolling in the sky, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

Tianluo Continent, he, Lu Chen, is back!
……

After half a month,
Tianluo Continent, Daluo Realm.

In Daluotian, in a magnificent hall, Lu Chen sat behind a large desk, with all kinds of documents piled in front of him.

These documents cover intelligence on various forces under the Tianluo Alliance, lists of offerings, resource allocation and many other matters, and are so complicated that they are dazzling.

"Ugh……"

Lu Chen sighed and rubbed his swollen temples. He had just finished reviewing the last document and felt dizzy, as if he had just been through a battle.

"These trivial matters are even more tiring than fighting against the evil tribes from outside the domain..."

He complained softly and looked up at Mandragora who was leaning against the temple pillar.

Mandala crossed his arms over his chest with a playful smile on his lips, obviously enjoying Lu Chen's embarrassment.

"Senior Sister, these documents... there is no need for me to personally approve all of them, right?" Lu Chen asked with a wry smile.

Mandala raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "You are the leader of the Tianluo Alliance, so these matters naturally need to be reviewed by you personally. Besides, you are always running around, and it is rare for you to have the opportunity to sit down and handle alliance affairs. As your senior sister, of course I have to take good care of you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen shook his head helplessly. He knew that this junior sister was deliberately teasing him, but he also understood that what she said made sense.

As the leader of an alliance, he really needs to have some understanding of the affairs of the alliance and cannot always be a hands-off boss.

"Senior sister is right. It was my negligence."

Lu Chen smiled, then said seriously, "However, although the affairs within the alliance are important, there is a more important matter that needs to be dealt with right now."

Hearing this, Mandala dropped his joking expression and asked, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Lu Chen stood up, walked to the window, looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice: "The battle for the overlord of the Northern Territory is imminent, and I plan to break through to the Heavenly Supreme."

"Are you sure?"

Hearing this, Jiuyou on the side showed a worried look.

Only Su Qingyin looked calm.

She knew what her young master had done in the Endless Fire Region. If anyone in the Tianluo Alliance was most confident in Lu Chen's breakthrough, it would be her.

"Of course I do. But I have to go out for a breakthrough this time, so I'll have to trouble you with the alliance matters again, Junior Sister."

Lu Chen nodded towards Jiuyou and gave her a comforting look.

Then he turned to look at Mandala and said to her with an apologetic look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Mandala frowned slightly and said doubtfully, "What about the Purple Cloud Sect..."

"We'll talk about it when I get back."

Lu Chen shook his head. He had originally wanted to follow the rules. But after a simulation, he realized that since some people didn't follow the rules, there was no need to save face for them. He could just flip the table.

"Okay, go ahead. If you need anything, the Tianluo Alliance still has hundreds of millions of Supreme Spirit Liquids in reserve, so you can take that as well."

Mandala looked serious and nodded solemnly.

Lu Chen shook his head. He was already well prepared and didn't need to use the resources within the alliance.

He pondered for a moment, then took out a silver token and handed it to Mandala, saying, "During this period, if there are enemies you can't deal with, you can take out this guest token of the Great Thousand Palace to intimidate them."

"I'll also leave that Earth Supreme Great Perfection-level Thunder Spirit to you, Senior Sister."

Mandala nodded, took the token, and said, "That's all right. We, the Tianluo Alliance, are currently just living in this remote area of ​​the Northern Territory. We are strong enough to protect this area, and no one has bothered us yet."

"Just go ahead, I'll take care of the alliance affairs."

Lu Chen smiled slightly, nodded, and without saying anything more, he took a step forward and disappeared in the hall in an instant.

Before leaving, he wanted to see how the two peerless holy objects were being preserved.

……

Soon after,

Deep in the Heavenly Palace, an extremely huge and dazzling river, like the Milky Way, flows slowly across the sky, and extremely powerful and vast spiritual power emanates from the river.

Lu Chen came in the air, stood above the Milky Way, looked at the brilliant river in front of him, and waved his hand.

Suddenly, the vast Milky Way seemed to have received some kind of call and slowly parted to the sides, revealing the crystal clear riverbed.

At the bottom of the river, a sword and a seal quietly floated there, emitting a soft glow. Both seemed to possess life, trembling slightly with the flow of spiritual energy, inhaling and exhaling the waters of the Heavenly River and emitting heart-pounding spiritual fluctuations.

"It seems like he's recovering well..."

Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

A treasure like the Soul-Enriching Pearl needs to be used with a huge amount of Supreme Spirit Liquid, so the first person he thought of was Tianhe.

In terms of the purity and richness of spiritual power, Tianhe is far superior to the Supreme Spirit Liquid.

Now it seems that this was the right decision.

Lu Chen waved his hand and was about to recall the Heavenly Emperor Sword and the Supreme Heart Demon Seal, but suddenly his eyes fixed, he stopped and looked at the Heavenly Emperor Sword at the bottom of the river with some surprise and doubt.

I saw the Emperor Sword quietly floating at the bottom of the river. The originally dim sword body had long since become as bright as before, but no one knew what stimulated it at this moment.

The ancient runes on the sword began to flow, emitting a faint crystal light. The light was weak at first, but as time passed, it became stronger and stronger, like a rising sun, gradually illuminating the entire riverbed.

boom!
Suddenly, the Emperor's Sword shook violently, and the crystal light on the sword suddenly burst out, turning into a dazzling beam of light, shooting straight into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful pressure that far exceeded that of ordinary spiritual items and peerless holy objects burst out. Under the impact of this pressure, the entire Tianhe River began to churn violently.

Wow!
For a moment, the majestic river water poured into the Emperor's Sword like a tide.

The light on the Emperor's sword became increasingly restrained, and finally completely returned to its original state, turning into a stream of light and falling into Lu Chen's palm.

"Has it actually recovered to the level of a peerless sacred object?"

Lu Chen stroked the Emperor Sword in his hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

In this way, his chances of surviving the tribulation this time were greatly increased.

"Why is this Supreme Heart Demon Seal still not reacting at all?"

"Could it be that it needs to be nurtured for a while?"

After looking at the Emperor Sword in his hand, Lu Chen turned his head to look at the Supreme Heart Demon Seal at the bottom of the river, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Boom!

At this time, the Supreme Heart Demon Seal made an unwilling thunderous sound, as if it had suffered some injustice, and suddenly turned into a ray of lightning and flew to Lu Chen's side.

Immediately, the silver light on the surface flickered, sending him messages.

"You said there were six Soul-Enriching Pearls, and the Heavenly Emperor Sword ate five of them, leaving only one for you?"

"You can't snatch it away? Is that why you're recovering so slowly?"

After hearing the message conveyed by the Supreme Heart Demon Seal, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh.

After he threw the six soul beads and two peerless holy objects into the Milky Way, he never cared about them again. He never expected that such a thing would happen.

"You guys are good at competing for resources."

Lu Chen looked at the Emperor Sword with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

There was no intention of blaming him. After all, in terms of closeness, the Heavenly Emperor Sword was the most sacred object in his hands, and it was passed down by his master, so he was considered his "own son".

Before finding the residual soul of the Inner Demon Thunder Emperor, the Supreme Inner Demon Seal could only be regarded as a "godson". If he had known this result earlier.

He might have fed the five spirit beads to the Emperor Sword at the beginning.

Upon hearing this, the silver light on the Supreme Heart Demon Seal flickered even more rapidly, as if expressing its dissatisfaction. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Emperor Sword trembled slightly, its crystalline light flowing with a hint of pride.

Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud. He reached out and gently patted the Supreme Heart Demon Seal, soothing him, "Okay, don't feel wronged. Since the Heavenly Emperor Sword has been restored to the level of a Immortal Grade Unparalleled Holy Relic, it will be difficult to advance further for the time being."

"The next resources will naturally be given priority to you."

The Supreme Heart Demon Seal finally calmed down, and the silver light on its surface gradually stabilized, as if it was satisfied with Lu Chen's promise.

Lu Chen put away his smile and took the two sacred objects back into his body. Then he stretched out his palm, and suddenly a white light emerged in his palm.

The next moment, a round crystal bead about the size of a fist appeared in his palm.

It’s the White Dragon Spirit Pearl!

"Senior Bailong, I am here to fulfill the promise we made back then."

Lu Chen said with a smile, holding the White Dragon Spirit Pearl in his hand.

He could faintly feel that deep within this White Dragon Spirit Pearl, there was a subtle spiritual seal hidden.

Although this spiritual seal means nothing to him now, it also shows that Senior Bailong should not have disappeared completely, but has been preserved in some special way.

After a moment of silence, he saw that the White Dragon Spirit Pearl had no reaction.

Lu Chen sighed and said, "It seems that only by going to the White Dragon Plane can we fully activate that spiritual seal."

"Senior Bailong, I guess you want to see your homeland again."

After saying that, Lu Chen no longer hesitated, put away the White Dragon Spirit Pearl, and waved his sleeves. A beam of spiritual power instantly tore the space in front of him, forming a deep space crack.

His eyes were cold as he stepped in and his figure disappeared instantly.

Only two cold words remained echoing in the void.

"The Blood Demon Clan?"

"Kill them all, that's all."
