You, a tyrannical ruler, roam the heavens; you cannot understand my joy.

The best novel in the multiverse of infinite realms, "Wandering in the Multiverse as a Tyrant, You Don't Understand My Happiness," ranked highly in the readers' vote!

As soon as Lu Zuo landed, attacks came from all directions!

"Set up the formation!"

With a low shout, Kumarajiva instantly commanded the hundred-odd Indian monks to take their positions, their ritual implements striking the ground, their energy connecting them.

In an instant, golden light flowed, and a huge swastika Buddhist seal rose up. The dazzling Buddhist light, like an invisible shackle, enveloped the space around Lu Zuo, and the air instantly became as thick as a mountain!

"Exorcise the demon!"

Master Liaokong and Liu Chuyue attacked simultaneously, striking Lu Zuo's back and ribs respectively!

Ning Daoqi appeared like a ghost above Lu Zuo's head, pointing his finger like a sword at Lu Zuo's crown chakra!

Before the wind even arrived, the extremely concentrated killing intent made Lu Zuo's scalp tingle!

Faced with this near-fatal situation, a flash of bloodlust appeared in Lu Zuo's eyes, and he slammed the Demon Blade Thousand Blades into the ground!

boom!

Centered on the tip of the blade, a sharp blade intent transformed into a ring of air that exploded outwards, forcefully stunting the golden light of the Buddhist seal on the ground!

Taking advantage of the split second, Lu Zuo spun around like a top, and the demonic blade transformed into a dark halo of light!

Ding ding ding...

The sound of metal clashing was like a torrential rain beating on banana leaves!

With incredible speed, he deflected the palm strike with one strike, severed Liu Chuyue's sword energy with another, and finally swung his sword upwards to meet Ning Daoqi's deadly finger strike!

Clang!

The fingers clashed, producing a deafening sound like a great bell!

Ning Daoqi swayed slightly, then gracefully retreated, a genuine look of surprise flashing across his eyes for the first time.

Lu Zuo let out a muffled groan and staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.

He actually...

He actually withstood the combined attack of four top masters?!

"How is that possible?"

Liu Chuyue gasped in disbelief, her beautiful eyes wide with disbelief: "He's only recently entered the Inner Heaven and Earth Opening Realm, how could he possess such formidable power and reflexes?"

Master Liaokong's expression was solemn: "Amitabha..."

"This fiend must have used some kind of forbidden technique that severely damages one's very essence, forcibly boosting its power!"

"Even so, to be able to withstand the combined attack of the four of us..."

"That's just too absurd!"

Ning Daoqi stared at Lu Zuo and said in a deep voice, "His use of power has reached a state of perfection."

"Both of them created their own world from within, yet they are so powerful?"

When Yang Guang, protected by his personal guards, saw this scene from afar, he was horrified and could hardly believe his eyes.

"He actually blocked it?"

"Even with Master Ning and the Holy Monk joining forces, along with Master Kong and Master Liu, they still couldn't defeat him?"

"When did Lu Zuo become so strong?"

Kumarajiva frowned slightly, the Buddhist light in his staff intensifying, and he said slowly, "Form the Eight Heavenly Dragons Demon-Suppressing Formation, trap him and kill him!"

At the command, more than a hundred Indian monks moved with incredible speed and energy, and the Buddha's light surged towards the center like a tidal wave!

Ning Daoqi, Liao Kong, and Liu Chuyue launched another attack, their moves becoming even more ruthless!

Boom boom boom!

Lu Zuo stood at the eye of the storm, his demonic blade dancing wildly, its blade energy crisscrossing, colliding fiercely with the sky full of Buddhist light and sharp attacks!

Each collision produced a deafening roar. Despite the perilous situation and blood spilling from their mouths and noses, they stubbornly withstood the onslaught of the storm!

At this moment, all the Sui army's top warriors had the same thought in their minds...

Both are at the Inner Heaven and Earth Realm, so why is this child so powerful?

Why is it strong?

It's just high attributes plus the Yang Meridian Eight Curses!

but……

Under these circumstances, Lu Zuo is also under great pressure.

In particular, several more cultivators who had opened the Heaven and Earth realms and more than ten cultivators at the Three Realms level broke through the Sui army.

.......

The battle continues!

Three newly arrived experts at the Inner Heaven and Earth Opening Realm each unleashed their killing moves to block the left and right sides, while more than twenty experts at the Three Realms Realm roamed around the perimeter to provide support!

Lu Zuo's eyes flashed with blood-red light to the extreme. He abandoned defense and launched a counterattack. The Demon Blade Thousand Blades suddenly shattered into hundreds of fragments!

A thousand blades piercing the heart!

In an instant, fragments shot out in all directions like meteors!

Ning Daoqi's finger wind was precisely intercepted by three blades, Liao Kong's palm print was shredded by a small array composed of seven blades, and Liu Chuyue's sword energy was deflected by more than ten blades one after another!

The three newly joined experts who had opened their inner heaven and earth were also forced to retreat and defend due to this reckless fighting style!

Pfft!

Lu Zuo took the opportunity to withstand two palm strikes, spitting out blood, but used the force to crash into the weakest point of the northwest corner formation like a cannonball!

"Stop him!"

"He's at his last gasp!"

Liu Chuyue shouted and gave chase.

But Lu Zuo's sword stance suddenly changed. He completely ignored the pursuers behind him, and he and his sword became one, transforming into a blood-red rainbow that crashed hard into the outer Buddhist light array!

Boom!

The formation shook violently, and the dozen or so Indian monks who were in charge of this corner all coughed up blood and staggered backward!

The Buddhist formation was instantly breached, and Lu Zuo took the opportunity to escape.

"Chase!"

Ning Daoqi was the first to react, transforming into a gentle breeze and giving chase.

Liaokong, Kumarajiva, and others followed closely behind.

But Lu Zuo was incredibly fast. In just a few leaps, he rushed out of the military camp and disappeared into the distant mountains and forests, leaving only a trail of bloodstains.

"This ferocious beast is far more cunning than anticipated. If we release it back into the mountains today..."

"This will surely lead to endless troubles!"

"He can't get far!"

"With seven experts at the Inner Heaven and Earth Realm besieging him and a hundred monks suppressing him, he must be exhausted!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

The seven masters transformed into several streaks of light and rushed straight into the depths of the mountains and forests, with the other experts at the Three Realms Realm following closely behind.

If we don't kill Lu Zuo today, even if we conquer Southern Chen, it will be a huge future problem!

after all…...

This kid is terrifying!

……

In the Sui army camp, Yang Guang, Yang Su, and a group of accompanying generals stared in disbelief, their eyes filled with deep fear!

Yang Guang stared in the direction where Lu Zuo had disappeared, his face deathly pale, his lips trembling slightly. After a long while, he managed to squeeze out the words through clenched teeth: "The Seven Great Inner Gates Open Heaven and Earth..."

"More than twenty cultivators at the Third Realm, plus a formation of a hundred monks..."

"They still couldn't keep him?"

"Is this Lu Zuo truly only at the Inner Heaven and Earth Opening Realm?"

"How could there be such a terrifying inner world in this world?"

Yang Su's facial muscles twitched, his usual composure vanished, and his voice became dry and strained: "The depth of this boy's skill and the strength of his resilience are simply unheard of!"

"Master Ning's finger could pierce through metal and stone, Master Liaokong's palm strike could shatter mountains, and the Buddhist teachings of the holy monk Kumarajiva were even more extraordinary..."

"He was able to withstand both attacks simultaneously, and even find the weakest point in the formation amidst the siege, sacrificing himself for a way out and breaking through..."

"This...is simply beyond human capability!"

Han Qinhu: "A monster! He's an absolute monster!"

"I've fought on the battlefield for forty years; I've encountered at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, masters!"

"I've never seen anything like it before!"

He Ruobi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "The key question is, how old is he?"

"How many years have you been cultivating?"

"How could one hone their skills to such an extent?"

"What kind of being were we fighting before?"

A younger general, his face ashen, muttered, "If he doesn't die today and recovers, who among us can stop him?"

These words were like a cold wind, sending a chill down everyone's spine.

"We must catch him, we must kill him!"

"I want to see him alive or dead!"

"We absolutely cannot let him leave alive!"

Yang Su's gaze darkened, and he turned to look at Jiankang City: "Your Highness, we can now launch a full-scale attack on Jiankang."

"Although Lu Zuo managed to escape by sheer luck, he was seriously injured and is no longer a threat in the short term."

"Master Ning, the Holy Monk, and seven other top experts led a group in pursuit. Even with his extraordinary abilities, he could not escape this calamity."

"Now is the golden opportunity for our army to seize Jiankang with all our might!"

He pointed towards Jiankang City in the distance and quickened his pace: "Although there are still experts like Zhang Zhongjian and the Yin Gui Sect in Jiankang City, their top combat strength is now on par with ours, or even slightly inferior."

"But my Great Sui Dynasty has a numerical advantage!"

"The entire army should be assembled immediately, and a full-scale attack should be launched at dawn tomorrow!"

"Though the walls of Jiankang are strong, how can they be defended for long?"

"Most importantly..."

"The grain supplies sent by the six great families are running low, and the supply lines have been attacked. We cannot hold out for long."

Yang Guang nodded: "Grand Tutor is absolutely right. Then please give the order."

……

Soon, the entire Sui army camp was like a giant war machine, instantly starting to operate at high speed!

Torches blazed like dragons, the clanging of armor and weapons filled the air, and a chilling atmosphere of impending battle permeated the night sky.

This situation naturally alerted Zhang Zhongjian, who sent experts out of the city to investigate. They received some astonishing news!

"Lord Lu actually..."

"One person held off so many experts?"

"How is this possible?"

"Seven Inner Heaven and Earth Realm experts, over twenty Three Yuan Realm experts, and a Hundred Monks Formation—how did he manage to do all that?"

Zhu Yuyan's face was filled with shock and disbelief: "Who are Ning Daoqi and that bald monk from India?"

"How did he manage to escape from such a deadly situation?"

"His skill... is unmatched in the world!"

Madam Cai's face was now filled with astonishment: "Unbelievable, utterly unbelievable!"

"No wonder the Sui army camp was so active tonight, brightly lit and mobilizing troops!"

Zhang Zhongjian looked at the Sui army camp in the distance and frowned, saying, "But..."

"Without Lord Lu's threat, the Sui army can unleash its full power and launch a full-scale attack on the city!"

"Although Lord Lu transferred many of their experts away, there are still several Inner Heaven Opening Realm cultivators and more than ten Three Yuan Realm cultivators at the front lines..."

"Their number of skilled fighters is roughly equal to ours, but their overall troop strength far surpasses ours!"

"This is practically the final battle!"

"But……"

"How long can Lord Lu hold out?"

As soon as Zhang Zhongjian finished speaking, the city wall fell into a deathly silence, and even the night wind seemed to carry a chill.

Zhu Yuyan nodded: "Lord Lu withstood the combined attack of seven masters and forcibly broke the formation. The injuries he suffered have probably damaged his very foundation."

"How long can he hold out against so many powerful opponents?"

If Lu Zuo were to die, the Yin Gui Sect's plans in Jiangnan would collapse instantly.

Madam Cai sighed, "Lord Lu is now isolated and helpless. Ning Daoqi and the others will not give him any chance to breathe; they will definitely follow him like a shadow and fight to the death."

"But we simply can't spare the time to provide support..."

King Chujiang: "Seven great masters have opened up the world, and there are so many bald monks and experts following them..."

"If, if anything happens to Lord Lu..."

Zhang Zhongjian took a deep breath: "The Sui army is about to launch a fierce attack. Let's focus on our own tasks first."

……

The next day, early in the morning.

After a long stalemate, the Sui army finally launched a full-scale attack!

"put!"

With Han Qinhu's order, hundreds of catapults in the Sui army roared simultaneously, sending millstone-sized stones, accompanied by flames, crashing down on the walls of Jiankang like meteors!

Madam Cai immediately took action, unleashing her Heavenly Demon Force Field to block all the stones.

At the same time, dozens of towering siege towers, under the cover of shield arrays, slowly advanced, with crossbowmen on them hurling arrows like locusts, attempting to suppress the city wall.

"Let it go!"

On the city wall, Zhang Zhongjian's voice boomed like thunder.

Hundreds of repeating crossbows deployed behind the barricades simultaneously began to vibrate!

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of specially made crossbow bolts rained down like a deadly storm, accompanied by sharp whistles!

Puff puff puff!

Where the arrows rained down, Sui army shields were pierced like paper, and the advancing well ballasts were littered with wood chips, while archers on them fell with screams.

Even more terrifying is that the crossbow bolts can penetrate the protective qi of ordinary martial artists!

Many low-level martial artists who were fighting alongside the army were caught off guard and were instantly riddled with arrows!

"What powerful crossbow bolts!"

In the Sui army formation, a retainer at the Inner Heaven and Earth Realm changed his expression slightly. He waved his sleeve to deflect a rain of arrows, but the strange power contained in the crossbow bolts made his arm slightly numb.

"Suppress the ballistae on the city walls!"

Another Sui army expert who had mastered the Heaven and Earth Opening Realm shouted, his figure soaring up like a roc, and he struck a section of the city wall with a palm strike in mid-air, the powerful palm wind pressing down like a mountain!

"Your opponent is me!"

Zhu Yuyan's figure flashed like a ghost, and her Heavenly Demon Twin Slashes brought out a fierce arc of light, forcefully intercepting the palm wind. The energy exploded, and the two of them retreated at the same time.

Almost simultaneously, several battles broke out on the city walls and in the air!

In an instant, sword energy crisscrossed the city walls and below, palm winds howled, boulders roared, and crossbow bolts whistled!

The deadly barrage of crossbows, composed of thousands of repeating crossbows, greatly slowed down the advance of the Sui infantry.

However, the Sui army had superior numbers and continued to surge forward like a tide, constantly setting up siege ladders. The two sides engaged in a brutal battle for control of the city walls.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"Huff, huff..."

"That should be far enough, right?"

Although Lu Zuo greatly enhanced his combat power using the Eight Yang Meridians Curse, he did not fully open all eight meridians.

Without him...

After all eight meridians are opened, one will temporarily lose one's internal energy, and one's physical strength will be greatly weakened, and it will be difficult to recover one's internal energy for a long time.

Using this tactic in the Sui army camp is tantamount to suicide!

He could only provoke them before running hundreds of miles away to fight Ning Daoqi and the others.

Having dealt with these skilled fighters, the Sui army will no longer need to be tied down by us...

The rest.

Let time tell.

Just then!

Seven incredibly powerful auras descended from the sky like a net, locking him firmly in place!

Ning Daoqi appeared silently on a giant rock directly in front of him, his robes fluttering. He calmly looked down at Lu Zuo and said indifferently, "Boy, why fight like a cornered beast?"

"This place is beautiful and scenic; it would not be an insult to you to be buried here."

Master Liaokong and Liu Chuyue landed on the left and right respectively, blocking their path.

Liaokong clasped his hands together, his tone filled with compassion: "Amitabha..."

"Lu Zuo, you have reached the end of your road. Lay down your butcher's knife, and this old monk can chant sutras to help you pass on to the afterlife."

Liu Chuyue sneered repeatedly: "Run, huh?"

"Why did you stop running?"

"Weren't you acting all high and mighty in the barracks yesterday?"

"Does he really think he's invincible just because he has a few evil tricks up his sleeve?"

"How does it feel to be completely exhausted now?"

Kumarajiva, holding a tin staff, stood at the exit of the valley, surrounded by Buddhist light, like a golden Arhat, his voice like a booming bell: "Evil demons and heretics bring chaos to the world."

"Today, in this place, will be the day your sins come to an end!"

The other three Sui soldiers, who had reached the Heaven and Earth Realm, each occupied a separate area, their energy interconnected, completely sealing off all escape routes.

More than twenty experts at the Third Realm formed a second encirclement on the outer perimeter, while the more than one hundred Indian monks quickly dispersed, their energy intertwined, forming a large formation.

A Sui soldier sneered, "Boy, you should be proud of yourself for making the seven of us join forces to pursue you."

"Unfortunately, overestimating one's abilities ultimately leads to one's demise!"

Another person chimed in, "Judging from your current disordered breathing, you're at your last gasp. How long can you hold on?"

"You might as well end it all here, saving us the trouble and giving you a quicker death!"

Liu Chuyue laughed, "When you die, we'll hang your head on the walls of Jiankang, so those stubborn remnants of the Southern Chen dynasty can see what their reliance will lead to!"

Seven top experts, more than twenty people at the Third Realm, and a formation of a hundred monks!

This lineup is a sure-fire way to win.

"Like a lamp running out of oil or a spent arrow?"

Lu Zuo sneered, "Are you really that sure?"

All eight meridians are open!

Before he could finish speaking, a strange sound, like a bowstring snapping, suddenly came from Lu Zuo's body!

Click! Click! Click.....

An indescribable terrifying aura, like a dormant volcano that had been sleeping for millennia suddenly awakening, erupted fiercely centered on Lu Zuo, soaring into the sky!

Crack!

The air within a radius of several feet around him groaned under the strain, twisting and folding violently, blurring the light that passed through the area!

The ground beneath their feet cracked, collapsed, shattered, and turned to dust!

Countless pebbles and broken pieces of wood broke free from the earth's constraints and floated up against all reason, slowly rotating around the figure in the center that resembled a demon god!

The atmosphere that had been slightly chaotic and dejected due to the fierce battle had completely disappeared, replaced by a ferocity like that of a giant beast awakening from the primordial era!

Dark red blood and qi were surging on his body, as if his blood was boiling and burning. The scorching heat emitted caused the distant grass and trees to wither and curl up!

A terrifying pressure, like a raging tsunami, swept wildly in all directions!

"What?"

"That aura?!"

Liu Chuyue's expression froze: "How could he possibly still have the strength left?"

"This power...this power has transcended the realm of creating one's own world!"

Master Liaokong's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Amitabha..."

"Is he burning his life essence?"

Ning Daoqi's pupils contracted slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What kind of technique is this?"

Kumarajiva: "Be careful, everyone! This fiend has completely fallen into the demonic path!"

Liu Chuyue scoffed, "So what if he burns his life force?"

"Even with seven masters who have opened the gates of Heaven and Earth, plus the Holy Monk's grand formation, they can't wear down his momentary glory?"

Master Liaokong clasped his hands together and said, "This fiend must not be allowed to live!"

"Today, we will use the supreme Buddha's teachings to suppress this demon!"

Lu Zuo felt the violent power surging within him and looked up at the enemy who were ready for battle.

Immediately!

Boom!

With a ferocious aura that seemed capable of tearing everything apart, he charged headlong into the seemingly unbreakable net!

The final battle erupts!
