Chapter 971: Chapter 691: Void Dao
The Great Power Tribulation emerges, causing celestial phenomena that shock the universe.
During the ancient times, the birth of a Mastering Dao practitioner was enough to make the gods on the Great Dao take notice.
It is extremely difficult for mortals to become demigods.
Once accomplished, the Divine Court would generally bestow them a nominal position to woo them.
After the ancient era, divine beings vanished, great powers perished, and the third step became the pinnacle of strength.
The implications of a new Mastering Dao practitioner are self-evident.
The Mo Luo Hall Master is most worried about Kunxu becoming a great power.
"Who is undergoing the tribulation?" Vilote was also deeply shocked.
No matter who it is, it is certainly a cultivator of the Great Universe, a disadvantage to the Forbidden Zone.
"Hahaha, kill!" Lu Chenzhou knew who it was, unable to help but laugh heartily.
The giant halberd swept across, and divine lotuses bloomed recklessly between heaven and earth.
Each strike contained Void-breaking Dao Essence, enough to penetrate the domain of divine power, tearing off Vilote’s flesh and blood.
"Mo Luo, make it quick, kill Lu Chenzhou swiftly, or we’ll have no chance," Vilote said.
"I want to, but the Yuan Chen Demon Suppression Great Array is the Divine Court’s foremost wonder, it’s not that easy to break," Mo Luo replied.
The Twelve Yuan Chen consists of main attackers like the dragon and tiger, and main defenders like the ox and pig.
The perfect combination unleashes the power of four Third Steps and eight Eighth Realms to its fullest, with no waste.
Of course, relying on the array can only momentarily withstand Mo Luo.
The key to this battle is still Lu Chenzhou.
If they can kill Vilote, even if they can’t defeat Mo Luo, he can retreat with ease.
Mo Luo, while stronger, is not as elusive as Vilote and is less detrimental to civilization.
...
Meanwhile.
In the Forbidden Zone, the minds of the Evil Gods gathered anxiously.
"A moment ago, there was an abnormality, someone is undergoing the Great Power Tribulation."
"Our undercover agent in the Kunxu Realm hasn’t noticed anything unusual... it’s not the Kunxu Ancestor."
"Who else could it be? There are only a few Third Steps in the Great Universe, apart from Kunxu, everyone else is tied up on the battlefield, it’s even less likely."
"Could it be a remnant from ancient times?"
The Evil Gods, who thought they had a surefire victory, panicked.
First, that unremarkable group of Eighth Realms surprisingly found an ancient wonder array that restrained Mo Luo.
Now, a great power is being born, and they don’t know who it is?
Suddenly, the Witch opened his eyes, showing an expression of disbelief, muttering, "Is it really him?!"
...
Xia Realm.
In the boundless starry sky.
Lu Chenzhou, dressed in a white robe, walked step by step, traversing freely through the Mixed Cave Gates.
Ahead, the endless Great Dao manifested, the Dao Palace was encircled around the firmament.
A majestic silhouette sat in the sea of stars, his long hair fluttering without wind, flowing with his momentum.
He is the Cangtian Dragon King, who plunged into the reincarnation of life and death. As he opened his eyes, he smiled and said, "Long time no see, I didn’t expect that you have reached a level where you can stand shoulder to shoulder with demigods... However, it seems I am a bit faster, the Breakthrough Nine path of the Martial Artist, let me forge ahead for you."
"How confident are you?" Lu Chenzhou asked.
"Absolutely," the Dragon King remained as confident as ever.
"Then I’ll protect you, the celestial phenomena of the Great Power Tribulation cannot be concealed from the Forbidden Zone," Lu Chenzhou said.
"Thank you. Hang on a bit longer, once I Breakthrough Nine, Mo Luo will no longer pose a threat," the Dragon King said.
...
Upon learning that the Dragon King is about to Breakthrough Nine, the Eternal Immortal stood in the Mystic Sky, gazing at the Xia Realm.
"Reaching this day has not been easy."
The first generation Heavenly Master achieved Breakthrough Fourth, Lv Ancestor Breakthrough Fifth, Zhang Ancestor Breakthrough Sixth, and he achieved Breakthrough Seventh and Eighth.
These are merely the successful ones along the way.
On the path to climbing the Martial Arts Peak of Da Xia, there are many who, though they failed, still retain their honor.
...
In the Dou Ancestor Cave Mansion.
A shadow of an iron-armored man, with an audacious gaze and a commanding presence, stood alone looking into the distance.
"I didn’t expect, that someone would break through the life and death reincarnation trial that I left behind in just a few decades..."
He is the projection left by the Fighting Ancestor.
To pass through the four trials is to attain the supreme opportunity, it also indicates that one is about to Master Dao.
Originally, he expected it to take someone two hundred years to succeed.
But now, the Cangtian Dragon King showed him what a true monster is.
What struck the Fighting Ancestor the most was a line the Dragon King once said.
"I’m a monster? Then you haven’t witnessed the brilliance of the new era, I know a young one, much more monstrous than me."
The Dragon King’s talent already surpassed the limits of the Fighting Ancestor’s imagination.
How unprecedented would that young one be?
"It’s a pity, I won’t live to see it."
The shadow of the Fighting Ancestor gradually faded away, and the Dou Ancestor Cave Heaven also crumbled, becoming dust in history.
...
The emergence of the Great Power Tribulation aroused many dormant demigods.
In the Suoshan Great World, an ugly creature with a bloated and fat face struggled to squirm.
He is the God of Gluttony, Longge, the Fourth Divine General under the Demon Insect Lord’s command, a former upper-rank demigod.
Among all the sealing demigods, his power ranks in the top three.
...
In the Three Elements Great World, thin mist shrouds the universe, strange birds fly across the sky, and a giant coffin tears open the earth, revealing a corner.
Inside the giant coffin, there is a red-clothed woman thousands of miles tall, blood flowing from her seven orifices, face as pale as death, arms crossed over her chest.
"Red-clothed one, wake up quickly, head to the Xia Realm, and kill the soon-to-test Great Power Cangtian Dragon King."
Forget Worry’s Old Mother’s voice reverberates throughout the universe.
...
In the Heavenly Pond Great World, it shakes the Three Thousand Worlds, famed as the most dangerous place in the Southern Boundary Domain, the Catastrophe Forbidden Zone.
This place is shrouded all year round by terrifying supernatural heavenly calamities. Anyone not at the Heavenly Realm who enters dies.
In the deepest part of the forbidden zone, an ancient and worn-out golden palace is displayed here, with the words "Chasing Sun" inscribed on it.
At the bottom of the palace, a magic demon with a bull’s head and a human body is forging a giant axe in purgatory.
The giant axe emits divine light, its invisible sharpness capable of cutting through space.
"Demon Lord, the Great Universe is about to birth a Great Power cultivator, when will you be able to break free?" asked Wangyue Demon Saint hiding here. After failing to curse Lu Chenzhou, he is constantly anxious, personally witnessing this man rising from a junior to a peak he can only look up to.
"Cangtian Dragon King? I’ve heard of him, overcoming the Great Power Tribulation in two hundred years, indeed impressive... but since the Ancient Divine War, no one has mastered the Dao to ascend to Great Power, whether he can is unknown, even if he crosses, his power is only middle to lower rank demigod, I can kill him with a mere flip of my hand."
The Heavenly Disaster Demon Lord is extremely confident and powerful.
He is the only top-level demigod among thirteen sealing demigods.
He once battled the Four Emperors, not falling behind.
Some divine beings in the forbidden zone are equals with this demigod.
Because his divine authority encompasses earth, fire, wind, and water from the heavenly calamity.
In other words, he is a demigod mastering four kinds of Dao.
At his peak, combining the power of all other twelve demigods could only tie him.
Unlike other demigods, he was sealed here by the combined forces of the Four Emperors.
Thanks to his axe, nearly a divine artifact forged over endless years, he will soon emerge.
He doesn’t believe in such a short time, the Dragon King’s power can surpass him.
...
The big halberd descends, the Divine Lotus engulfs Vilote.
Thirty-six kinds of Dao burst with dazzling light.
Vilote’s entire body is left as nothing but interconnected bones and flesh, his divine body scarred extensively.
Of course, Lu Chenzhou is not in good condition either.
Vilote, a desperate beast, has nearly led him to death several times.
Any Third Step without an Undying Body, during a bitter battle with a demigod, a single mistake means perishing and Dao vanishing.
Practical combat is the best teacher, especially when surpassing oneself, challenging limits.
Maneuvering between life and death, Lu Chenzhou has new insights into mastering various skills every moment.
As time flows, confronting Mo Luo’s fierce assault, the Twelve Yuan Chen Demon Suppression Array gradually starts to collapse.
Mo Luo Hall Master uses the Divine Prison Realm as a body, his power endlessly replenishing, also undying.
In a war of attrition, only Lu Chenzhou with the Mixed Cave Furnace Scripture can afford it, others cannot endure.
Fortunately, the Gu Diao True Spirit brought by Black Boat Ancestor has accomplished extraordinary feats, as one of the Ancient Three Illusion Gods, Gu Diao’s great divine powers can occasionally trap Mo Luo in illusions, granting everyone a chance to breathe, combined with the Divine Race’s clan sacred artifact, Mo Luo Hall Master cannot break free shortly.
A month later.
"Friend Lu, we can hardly hold on," transmitted Wan Yan Old Ghost.
"No worries, I will kill Vilote today," Lu Chenzhou said. Behind him, an identical white-robed figure emerged, none other than the Spiritual Embodiment that traveled across the Three Thousand Worlds removing demons, now merging back with the main body as one.
The enormous spiritual power surged throughout the universe.
Lu Chenzhou’s spiritual power broke through nine million wisdom.
The Great Dream Dao naturally reached the Eighth Rank.
The Lantuo Heart Sutra naturally broke through to the Third Step Realm.
Lu Chenzhou transformed into Gu Diao, countless blue butterflies swirled around him, echoing the Great Dream Butterfly above the Dao.
The entire Great World is enveloped in his Dream World.
Vilote cannot evade, pulled into it directly.
"It’s over, Vilote," Lu Chenzhou’s tone carried an indescribable weariness.
As a Third Step being, fighting a demigod for nearly ten years had exhausted him.
"You won’t kill me!" Vilote claws tore the void only to find himself still in another layer of illusionary world.
Layer upon layer, never-ending.
After the Third Step, the power of the Great Dream Divine Power is strong enough to drag down demigods with unsteady will.
And these Stars Demigods, most of their Heart Realms are far inferior to Great Power.
They are born strong, never needing spiritual cultivation.
In the Dream World, Lu Chenzhou appears as a god, repeatedly casting the Great Wilderness Prison Demon Hand.
Heaven collapses, earth crumbles, all things perish.
Trapped for three nights and days, Vilote’s divine power drains, too weak to continue fighting.
He gazes at the still unbroken Rule Chains, and at the giant face on the Dream World sky.
"People of Yuan Mountain, the day I resurrect, you shall pay the blood debt!"
He curls up on the ground, lifeless, the Divine Kingdom collapses and shatters.
Lu Chenzhou collects Vilote’s corpse into the Thunder World, returning to reality.
The Martial Arts Tree absorbs Vilote’s soul, continually growing taller.
In just a few months, a new Eighth Rank Dao arises.
Its name is: Void.
[Void Dao: Eighth Rank (16%)]
[You have acquired the Great Divine Power·Void Sacred Body]
