The First Venerable of All Paths

"Now that things have come to this, stop being so stubborn."

Lu Ren sneered, "Fang Xuan, the Xuan Turtle's sealing and spirit-locking secret technique is not as simple as you think."

"The longer it goes on, the more your cultivation will be sealed."

Lu Ren twisted his neck and said coldly, "Right now, you're like a fish on a chopping board, completely at my mercy!"

"Yeah?"

Fang Xuan's expression remained unchanged, his demeanor serene: "Isn't Young Master Lu being too happy too soon?"

"They won't shed a tear until they see the coffin."

Lu Ren sneered, "Since that's the case, then let me show you the power of sealing and locking spirits."

Lu Ren then formed a hand seal.

"Splash!"

A blood-red chain suddenly emerged from the void and bound Fang Xuan's right arm.

Fang Xuan's body trembled again, and his arm fell limply, as if it had borne an immense force.

"How is it? Not a pleasant experience, is it?"

Lu Ren laughed and said, "This is just the beginning. Let's... take it slow."

As soon as he finished speaking, another blood-red chain emerged and locked Fang Xuan's left leg.

Fang Xuan's body sank, and his feet sank directly into the ground.

With his left leg bound, his movements will be severely restricted, making it difficult even to perform acrobatic maneuvers.

"I don't have time to play slowly with you."

Looking at the two chains on his hands and feet, Fang Xuan slowly shook his head.

Fang Xuan clenched his right fist, and a powerful and vigorous force instantly surged out from his body.

"Snap!"

The crimson chains that had been tightly binding the arm suddenly shattered like fragile ice spikes.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Xuan bent his body slightly, assuming a running start position.

"Boom!"

The chains on his feet exploded again in the next instant.

A residual image remained where he stood, but Fang Xuan's true form had already appeared before Lu Ren.

His fists flew like dragons, shattering the void.

"Bang!"

This punch was incredibly fast.

Lu Ren had no time to react before a solid punch landed on his body.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

"puff!"

Lu Ren's body exploded on the spot.

But Fang Xuan frowned.

"Another clone?"

His gaze swept across the area and suddenly landed on the Enlightenment Platform.

There, Lu Ren, sitting cross-legged, slowly appeared.

His expression was calm, showing no trace of his previous rage or sternness.

It was as if they had never left the stone platform.

Most surprisingly, at this moment, a scale was faintly shimmering between Lu Ren's eyebrows.

It was that black tortoise scale.

"You...you refined the Xuan Turtle Scales?"

Manman pointed at Lu Ren and said angrily, "Lu Ren, you are shameless! This is a token left by our ancestors. You have refined it. Aren't you afraid of being punished by our ancestors?!"

"Only you people would treat it as a token of love."

Lu Ren said calmly, "Our ancestors left this to us so that we could comprehend the supreme secrets within it."

"But until now, it seems that only I have succeeded."

Lu Ren laughed and said, "If our ancestors knew, they would be pleased, not punish us."

Manman was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

Lu Ren then looked at Fang Xuan, his smile becoming even more gentle.

"Fang Xuan, I have to admit, you are indeed a talented person, and I have high hopes for you."

Lu Ren said, "Do you want to help me? I can give you anything you want."

"Young Master Lu's clone technique is indeed amazing; even I was fooled."

Fang Xuan did not answer Lu Ren's question, but said, "Although this method is profound, its drawbacks are too obvious."

"Oh, what are the drawbacks?"

Lu Ren raised an eyebrow and stared intently at Fang Xuan.

"When the identity is activated, the physical body cannot move."

Fang Xuan said, "Moreover, the clone is too weak. It's fine for scaring people, but it's not very useful when it really matters."

"Clap clap clap!"

Upon hearing Fang Xuan's words, Lu Ren suddenly clapped his hands.

"Amazing! Amazing!"

Lu Ren said with admiration, "Fang Xuan, you really surprised me. I almost don't want to kill you."

"Alright, all you've said is just trying to stall for time, isn't it?"

Fang Xuan said, "Now that you've achieved your goal, shouldn't you begin?"

"Hehe, okay."

Lu Ren suddenly stood up, and a powerful aura swept out from his body.

Although, like before, it was the peak of the second level of the Divine Intent Realm.

But it is more powerful, more profound, and more pure.

"Fang Xuan, since you made the wrong choice, you must pay the price."

Lu Ren stood on the Enlightenment Platform, his posture upright and his appearance dignified, like a god.

He simply extended a finger and pointed it at Fang Xuan.

In the void, streaks of crimson light converged and transformed into a crimson finger of ordinary size.

There was not a trace of breath on his fingers.

But Fang Xuan felt that it was more dangerous and terrifying than ever before.

This is the true Qi and Blood Finger Kill!

"One finger, and I'll annihilate you!"

As soon as Lu Ren finished speaking, the blood-red finger suddenly disappeared and then reappeared strangely in front of Fang Xuan, as if it were about to pierce through his face.

Fang Xuan quickly threw a punch.

"Thump!"

As the blood finger broke open, Fang Xuan took several steps back.

"Is this the true strength of Young Master Lu?"

Fang Xuan swung his arm and looked at Lu Ren: "You're really strong."

"Regret it?"

Lu Ren said, "It's a pity it's too late. I've given you two chances, but I won't give you a third."

"Young Master Lu is overthinking it."

Fang Xuan flexed his wrists and said, "I just think your strength is acceptable, that's all."

"Not bad?"

Lu Ren's smile froze slightly, and he said in a calm tone, "Those who are arrogant will pay the price."

After saying that, Lu Ren formed a hand seal again.

"Splash!"

Countless blood-red chains danced wildly in the void, then shot towards Fang Xuan like spears.

Each blood-red chain possesses power comparable to that of a god.

"Bang bang bang!"

Fang Xuan unleashed a powerful punch, shattering the blood-red chains one by one.

However, there were too many blood-red chains, leaving Fang Xuan somewhat overwhelmed.

"Come!"

After shattering the two chains, Fang Xuan grabbed with his five fingers and sent his whisk whistling through the air.

When it fell into Fang Xuan's hands, it transformed into a blood-red battle spear.

It is the God-Slaying Spear!

"kill!"

With the spear in hand, Fang Xuan's aura suddenly changed.

With a series of thrusts of the spear, the blood-red chains were easily shattered.

Fang Xuan's fighting spirit grew stronger and stronger, making him seem like a war god.

"Two dragons set sail, let's go!"

Fang Xuan flicked his spear, and two fiery dragons instantly condensed from it, lunging towards Lu Ren.

Upon seeing Fang Xuan shatter the blood-red chains, Lu Ren frowned.

But when he saw the two long dragons of fire, Lu Ren's expression changed immediately.

"Heavenly Fire?!"

Without time to think, Lu Ren flipped his hand and struck out with his palm.

"Buzz!"

The crimson power transformed into a giant hand, grabbing at the two fiery dragons.

"puff!"

However, the moment the blood-red hand grasped the fiery dragon, it was burned to ashes.

"Awooo!"

The two fiery dragons, their power undiminished, continued to pounce on Lu Ren.

"this......"

Upon seeing this, Lu Ren was slightly taken aback.

His powerful attack was actually broken.

"Get out of here!"

A scorching heat rushed towards him, and Lu Ren suddenly let out a cold shout, throwing out both fists at the same time.

Behind Lu Ren, a phantom image of a black tortoise appeared, mimicking Lu Ren's actions by swinging out its claws.

"Bang!"

The two fiery dragons were immediately pinned down and shattered by the Xuan Turtle's claws.

Before Lu Ren could even catch his breath, Fang Xuan appeared in mid-air with a gun, thrusting it towards Lu Ren's throat.

The shot came swiftly and decisively.

The overwhelming killing intent emanating from the spear sent shivers down Lu Ren's spine.

"Mystic Tortoise Shield!"

Lu Ren stomped his foot, and a circle of blood-red spiritual light immediately protected him.

"when!"

The God of Slaughter's Spear struck the crimson shield, yet failed to penetrate it.

Fang Xuan was taken aback.

Is this thing really that hard?

While Fang Xuan was still in a daze, Lu Ren had already pointed a finger at him.

Qi and blood condensed and attacked Fang Xuan, who was right in front of him.

Fang Xuan twisted his body in mid-air to avoid the blood finger, while his spear slammed into the blood-red shield.

"Open it!"

The crimson shield shattered instantly.

But at the same time, the giant claw of the Xuan Turtle suddenly pressed down on Fang Xuan.

A terrifying life-or-death crisis suddenly rose in Fang Xuan's heart. He dared not hesitate for a moment. He stepped into the void, and the Phoenix Cry Sword appeared under his feet on its own, supporting him steadily.

"Whoosh!"

He leaped up on his sword, narrowly avoiding the giant claw attack of the Xuan Turtle.

"His spear strikes are as swift as a divine being!"

The moment he regained his footing, Fang Xuan thrust out with his spear again.

"Boom!"

In mid-air, a massive crimson spear slammed directly into the phantom of the Xuan Turtle.

The black tortoise raised its claw and grabbed.

"Snap!"

However, this time, the once invincible Xuan Turtle Claws were rendered useless and were blasted into dust by the giant spear.

The crimson shield on Lu Ren's body shattered along with it.

The giant spear also disappeared.

"this......"

Lu Ren was stunned once again as he watched the dissipating phantom of the Xuan Turtle and the shield.

"You actually managed to break through it!"

Lu Ren's face was ashen, and he said coldly, "It seems that the spear in your hand is no ordinary weapon either."

"What if it is, and what if it isn't?"

Fang Xuan pointed his spear at Lu Ren and said, "Young Master Lu, stop holding back and show us your true strength."

You're right.

Lu Ren suppressed his shock and said indifferently, "Indeed, we shouldn't have kept it a secret."

"You can die in peace now that you've mastered this secret technique of mine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ren quickly formed hand seals.

The scales on his forehead began to glow brightly.

"Boom!"

The cave began to tremble, and an extremely violent aura seemed to emanate from the void.

"Awooo!"

With a roar that shook the very soul, a blood-red magic seal shaped like a black tortoise suddenly condensed in mid-air.

"Black Tortoise Blood Seal, suppress and kill!"

Lu Ren suddenly pressed his palm down on Fang Xuan. The blood-red magic seal in mid-air, like a giant Xuan Turtle that had been activated, came from ancient times, shattered the void, and crashed into Fang Xuan with overwhelming force.

This moment.

Fang Xuan was as if he had been targeted by an ancient black tortoise that roamed the myriad worlds and lived a carefree life.

Even more terrifying, this ancient black tortoise traversed the void directly, crashing into him like a meteorite.

"Ancient Black Tortoise, the True Spirit of Martial Arts!"

Fang Xuan said, word by word, "The true essence of martial arts!"

"You've got some knowledge!"

Lu Ren laughed arrogantly, "Fang Xuan, this Xuan Turtle Blood Seal is a Earth-rank martial art. Once cultivated to the True Intent Realm, it's comparable to a mid-grade Earth-rank technique. What makes you think you can win?"

"Earth-rank martial arts, true martial arts essence, indeed not weak."

Fang Xuan let out a long breath and said, "It's just a pity that you're not the only one who has grasped the true essence of martial arts."

After saying that, Fang Xuan put away the God of Slaughter Spear and clenched his fist.

As an endless aura of killing intent surged forth from his body, a woman's figure, majestic as a god and radiant as the sun, quietly appeared behind Fang Xuan.

She imitated Fang Xuan, clenching her fist and striking out.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ren's pupils constricted sharply, and he cried out in alarm.

"The true essence of martial arts?!"

To Lu Ren's utter astonishment, the two true martial arts techniques collided like comets.
