Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 944 It was my wish.
Lost!

It really was just one punch, so clean and decisive that if Haoyuan Shangzhen hadn't intervened in time, Zhengao would have been killed on the spot.

At this moment, even the Great True Monarchs showed a strange expression, not to mention the True Monarchs of the Dharma Power present, and even the Star Lords who were watching from afar with various array treasures. An incredulous look gradually crept onto their faces, and the residual light of the [Calamity Mystic Light] at Lü Yang's fingertips was even more dazzling.

Is it really that strong?

Everyone could see that Lü Yang didn't make a move at first, letting Zheng Gao attack until the very last moment when he finally threw that punch.

That was the first punch, and the last punch!
If Lü Yang hadn't deliberately held back, and had delivered such a swift attack with his first punch, Hao Yuan wouldn't have been able to react in time, and Zheng Gao would have been killed instantly.

It's not actually that bad.

Lu Yang chuckled inwardly. The [Calamity Fiend Profound Light] needed the [Rebirth Appearance] to absorb the damage and accumulate energy before it could unleash its strongest power.

So he wasn't beaten for nothing.

The reason for allowing Zhengao to attack was partly due to his confidence in his own Dharma body, and partly as a tactical show of bravado, which showed that he had put some thought into it.

Otherwise, given Zhengao's extraordinary ability to decompose mysterious spells and restore them to their original form as magical power, he wouldn't be able to defeat him in one move. It would take at least three moves, during which Zhengao could struggle a few times, but in that case, the effect of establishing his authority wouldn't be as obvious.

At least it can't control everyone.

Even if he eventually defeats Zhengao, other powerful True Lords will be dissatisfied and want to challenge him, which would be too troublesome.

Nothing compares to what it is now.

No matter how many tricks you use, I can defeat them all with a single punch. This directly shattered the competitive spirit of the other True Lords, and at least no one dared to deliberately provoke him anymore.

Meanwhile, inside the majestic palace, Zhen Gao, covered in blood, recovered and staggered to his feet. However, he did not show any anger or embarrassment. Instead, he twitched the corner of his mouth and finally said helplessly, "He is indeed capable. He is a real talent. It's not a big deal if one's skills are inferior to another's."

The other powerful Daoist lords also nodded in agreement.

Might makes right, that's the old saying. Accepting defeat after a bet, that's also the old saying. In that golden age, most people were straightforward like this.

"You."

On the other side, Haoyuan Shangzhen shook his head: "If I hadn't acted in time, and you had really killed Zhengao in public, how would you have handled the situation?"

Lü Yang shook his head: "I believe in my senior."

"Do you believe I can stop you in time?"

“No.” Lü Yang smiled: “I believe that you seniors will tolerate me.”

The implication is that even if Zhengao were to be killed, the Star Palace would not punish him or withhold a hegemon-level weapon; instead, it would choose to tolerate it!

"He's just a Golden Core True Monarch."

At this point, Lü Yang said calmly, "At worst, I'll just wait until the Great Tribulation begins and then kill another Golden Core cultivator from the Heavenly Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Haoyuan was truly stunned.

"He has courage."

After a moment, he shook his head: "Come with me. Your overlord-level Dao weapon is complete. You will lead the vanguard in this battle."

"Thank you, senior."

Lu Yang cupped his hands in greeting, then immediately suppressed his aura, no longer displaying his previous arrogance. Instead, he appeared to be just a somewhat handsome young man.

Soon, the two left the magnificent palace.

Before long, a dark sea of ​​stars came into view, with countless steel structures in operation. It was none other than the Factory No. 1 that Lü Yang had visited before.

Under Hao Yuan's guidance, Lü Yang arrived at the deepest part of this star system factory, where a burning star served as the power source for the furnace, constantly emitting crimson light. Inside the furnace, an extremely strangely shaped object was gradually taking shape.

Those are three rings.

The rings are interconnected, constantly rotating and alternating, while the central area is empty, and countless spread-out patterns can be seen around them.

"Is this the thing?"

Lu Yang's gaze fell on the three rings almost immediately. Each ring was the size of a star and was engraved with different talismans.

Each talisman was as large as a mountain.

Three rings and three talismans, pieced together, formed a sentence—however, Lü Yang couldn't understand it; it wasn't a common script. "This is encrypted Daoist script."

Haoyuan Shangzhen explained, "Because of the destructive nature of the oldest forbidden knowledge used to create overlord-level Dao weapons, Xinghun originally encrypted it."

Therefore, no one can understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Of course, even if you memorize these talismans and then copy them, it won't work. To make them effective, you must know the relevant knowledge."

This did not surprise Lü Yang.

The same applies to spiritual attainment. Only by truly understanding and comprehending the proportions and influences between different levels of attainment can one make them effective.

If one simply gets lucky and happens to make the right choice, knowing the "what" but not the "why," then even if the rank and position are correctly matched, the final result will only be wrong. This is the power of "knowledge." Therefore, for a True Lord, there is absolutely no room for luck in cultivation.

"How exactly do you use it?" Lu Yang asked curiously.

"It is still charging."

Haoyuan Shangzhen shook his head: "To put it into a state where it can be activated at any time, the energy of the three stars must be completely drained."

"This is the last one."

"We originally thought you needed a little more time, so there was no rush, but even we didn't expect you to get things done so quickly."

At this point, Haoyuan's expression became somewhat strange. Clearly, this time difference was caused by Lü Yang defeating Zhengao with a single punch. According to his estimation, even if Lü Yang were to win in the end, he should be delayed for a while before he could recharge.

So the two waited for about half an hour.

Finally, as the star beneath the furnace completely lost its light, its core extinguished and shattered, and the three rings within the furnace were finally filled with immense power.

Looking around, every talisman on the ring was shimmering with golden light.

Shining brightly.

"We call this overlord-level Dao weapon the [Lord of the State]."

Haoyuan Shangzhen said with no small amount of pride, "By the way, besides this, our other overlord-level Dao weapon is called the [Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array]."

"The latter is even stronger than the former."

"After all, the [Lord of the State] was only hastily made using three strategic-level Dao weapons, while the [Zhou Tian Star Array] is based on the four-directional star map."

"However, their functions are different. The [Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array] requires all of us to operate together. It is a decisive weapon used to fight against the Immortal Pivot. The [She Ji Zhu], on the other hand, is only operated by you personally. But you must be careful, as its use is also time-limited."

"How long?" Lu Yang asked the most important question directly.

"three times."

Haoyuan Shangzhen held up three fingers: "Three fruit level sublimations, each of which can theoretically last for half an hour, but may be shortened due to combat."

"I understand."

Lu Yang nodded, reached out and shrunk the three rings that made up the [Lord of the State] into his pocket, then looked at Haoyuan Shangzhen.

Haoyuan Shangzhen immediately sensed something: "Don't we need to spend some time getting familiar with it?"

Originally, Xinggong planned to wait a little longer. Although preparations were already complete, they had reserved time for Lü Yang to familiarize himself with the overlord-level Dao weapon.

However, Lu Yang shook his head.

Are you kidding me? With his current supermodel strength, does someone below the Great True Monarch level need a Hegemon-level Dao Weapon? That's for implementing the [Other Shore Collapse Plan]!

"Let's go into battle," Lü Yang said decisively.

Upon hearing this, Haoyuan Shangzhen took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask curiously, "The Great Tribulation of a Thousand Years is indeed dangerous. Fellow Daoist, are you really not worried about perishing in it while you are leading the charge?"

Lü Yang immediately smiled.

A millennium calamity? To outsiders it might truly be a calamity, with even Golden Core True Monarchs falling one after another like dumplings being dropped into a pot, but to him—

"It's what you wish for!"
