Chapter 975: Chapter 695: Transformed into Light
"Junior Lu Chenzhou greets the Chasing Sun Dragon Emperor," said Lu Chenzhou.
The one-horned elder did not respond, but frowned and murmured, "There is an uninvited guest following us to the Inheritance Land."
Lu Chenzhou’s expression slightly changed, "It might be the Mo Luo Hall Master, also known as the ancient Luo Hou Elder."
He immediately instructed his clone to search for Mo Luo in the Xia Realm.
The Xia Realm is Lu Chenzhou’s home ground, where his clone should also be able to restrain Mo Luo somewhat.
He had a plan in mind, perhaps to eliminate Mo Luo completely.
"Forget it, let’s not worry about him for now. In this starry sky, the speed of light can cross six hundred thousand miles in one breath. I observe that your ’Sky Escape Chapter’ has reached perfection, and your achievements in the Lightning Dao are approaching the Seventh Rank, already meeting the prerequisites for accepting the ’Chasing Light Chapter’ trial. Shall we begin?" the elder asked.
"Begin," Lu Chenzhou replied.
"Go and chase the light. No matter what method you use, as long as you can catch the ’Light Worm’ that travels sixty thousand miles in one breath, you will pass the trial and become my direct disciple, mastering the Sun Chasing Palace and Wind and Thunder Golden Wings," the one-horned elder said, spreading his palm as a golden small worm flew out.
As soon as the little worm appeared, it transformed into a ray of golden light, disappearing from Lu Chenzhou’s sight.
"No matter the method? Are you sure?" Lu Chenzhou asked.
"Yes, although you have Third Step Cultivation, with your proficiency in the Lightning Dao, success is not guaranteed," the one-horned elder confidently stated.
In the next moment, the one-horned elder revealed a dazed expression.
He saw Lu Chenzhou step forward and directly enter a black vortex, blending almost completely with the starry sky in his perception.
Then, Lu Chenzhou appeared in front of the Light Worm and grabbed it.
"Who are you?" the one-horned elder was a bit confused.
Such a method, even with his extensive experience, was unseen before.
A Great Power couldn’t achieve this, either.
"Junior Lu Chenzhou, a Martial Artist of the Tianxia Civilization... Senior, does my achievement count?" Lu Chenzhou asked with a smile.
Without cheating using the Mixed Cave Gate, he could catch it with more effort, but he was in a hurry to deal with Mo Luo.
"It counts, and you don’t need to participate in the subsequent trials," the one-horned elder flicked, a stream of light entered Lu Chenzhou’s brow.
{"You comprehend ’Chasing Light Chapter’.}
{"You comprehend ’Wind Thunder Escape Technique’.}
{"You comprehend ’Nine Soldiers Array’.}
Countless inheritances instantly appeared in his mind.
The one-horned elder’s voice came: "’Chasing Light Chapter’ only has two layers. The first layer practiced to the limit, one breath is fifty thousand miles. The second layer practiced to the limit, one breath is five hundred thousand miles. As for reaching the speed of light, this depends on your own fortune. When you reach the point of sixty thousand miles in one breath, it will be the day your Lightning Dao transforms into Speed Extreme Dao, also when you master Speed Extreme. From then on, there’s no place in the world you can’t go."
"Thank you, senior, for passing on the method."
"’Wind Thunder Escape Technique’ is the key to mastering the Supreme Treasure ’Wind and Thunder Golden Wings’. The Wind and Thunder Golden Wings can normally increase your tunneling speed by three times. If you burn the remaining Wind and Thunder Power in the Supreme Treasure, it can further enhance temporarily by ten times, but the Wind and Thunder Power reduces with each use, so you must use it wisely."
"Understood."
"In the Sun Chasing Palace, there are also two Supreme Treasures: the Green Profound Sword of the Emperor Xuan, and the Eight Directions Seal of the Dragon Emperor. Besides, there’s also six Ninth Rank Spiritual Weapons. Together these form the Magic Suppression Array, a formation left by myself and fellow Daoists in the Heavenly Pond to suppress the Heavenly Calamity Demon Lord. As long as the Sun Chasing Palace is unbroken, the Heavenly Calamity Demon Lord cannot escape. ’Nine Soldiers Array’ is the incantation to mobilize this formation’s power. The Heavenly Calamity Demon Lord is about to break the seal. If it comes to a critical juncture, then activate the formation, the nine treasures and the Heavenly Pool Great World will simultaneously self-destruct, perhaps inflicting a heavy blow to It."
"Is there no way to kill it?"
"The Heavenly Calamity Demon Lord is very powerful. It doesn’t rely on incense and faith but absorbs the Power of the Four Great Disasters of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. So over the long years, although it’s been sealed, its power has diminished the slowest. The new Great Power outside may boast youth and vigorous Qi-Blood, capable of trading blows with the Heavenly Calamity Demon Lord, but it won’t be long before they fall. However, I see you mainly practice the World Dao? If you reach Great Power, there might be hope."
"Let me try, senior." Lu Chenzhou responded.
"Frankly, although we’ve set many back-ups with the Divine Court, I didn’t expect someone to reach the Great Power Realm so quickly. I never held hope for the success of this task. But seeing you and the one outside, I indeed have a bit of expectation."
The one-horned elder finished speaking and transformed into light spots, condensing into a pair of luxurious wings flickering with Wind and Thunder Power.
"The Wind and Thunder Golden Wings are crafted from the wings of a Golden Peng. Mastery requires at least Seventh Rank in the Wind and Thunder Dao and the Lightning Dao. Luckily, I have both." Lu Chenzhou thought, and the ’Wind Thunder Escape Technique’ was practiced to a high level in an instant. The Wind and Thunder Golden Wings trembled and finally integrated into his back.
Wind, thunder, and lightning burst out, transforming into a pair of treasured wings.
With a gentle flap, Lu Chenzhou appeared sixty thousand miles away.
"Right, what if I use Wind and Thunder Golden Wings to perform Wind Thunder Golden Peng Transformation?" Lu Chenzhou had a spark of inspiration.
Golden lightning descended from the sky, and he morphed into a Golden-winged Roc, with wings perfectly merging with the Wind and Thunder Golden Wings.
A flap of his wings naturally initiated the Lifebound Divine Power·Heaven-Reaching Golden Light.
With a swoosh, Lu Chenzhou felt a wondrous change in everything before him.
Space was infinitely contracting and expanding, and the passage of time was also changing.
At a certain critical point, Lu Chenzhou seemed to hit an invisible barrier. With a boom, he fell from the void.
He rubbed his brow, his mind in chaos, taking a moment to recover clarity.
"Just now, my speed might have been close to the speed of light. That feeling, I seemed to actually become the Wind Thunder Golden Peng. If I could break through that invisible barrier, perhaps I could surpass the speed of light, mastering the Speed Extreme Dao... Slowly, no rush, first practice the ’Chasing Light Chapter’."
As he had a foundation in the ’Sky Escape Chapter’, practicing the Chasing Light was smooth.
The first layer was easily mastered.
Lu Chenzhou’s speed reached one-tenth the speed of light.
With the Wind and Thunder Golden Wings, it was three-tenths the speed of light.
This is a type of escape speed that most Great Powers cannot achieve, except for space-related special escape skills.
"Mo Luo... Since you’ve found your way to my doorstep, don’t blame me for being rude."
The Mixed Cave Gate opened in front of Lu Chenzhou, then he disappeared.
...
"The trial of the Sun Chasing Palace is in the Xia Realm?" Mo Luo Hall Master’s thoughts raced. "Now, Lu Chenzhou is likely receiving the Sun Chasing inheritance, and the Cangtian Dragon King is in a fierce battle with the Demon Lord... Isn’t the Xia Realm unguarded? If I can destroy the Tianxia Civilization, wouldn’t that achievement be worthy of exchanging for the Destruction Divine Status? If not, it would at least trouble Lu Chenzhou enough, letting him see that all he protected was ultimately futile."
Mo Luo rushed towards the direction of Xia Star.
But the Xia Realm was truly vast, and he flew for a long time without seeing any signs of life.
It wasn’t until that day that he found humans on a planet, which was an advanced outpost stationed in deep space of the Xia Realm.
He descended with a roar, and his overwhelming intention instantly invaded all the workers’ minds.
"I found it, Xia Star. Once I devour it, my Realm God Body should advance by leaps and bounds."
To avoid alerting the enemy, Mo Luo did not kill the workers.
After reading their memories, he quietly left.
Sometime later, Mo Luo finally arrived at the Constant Star System where Xia Star was located.
Just as he stepped in, one force after another surged up to the sky in the deep space, and the familiar Twelve Yuan Chen giant spirits appeared.
Leading them was the young Lu Chenzhou, carrying a long spear on his back.
He had already sensed Mo Luo’s presence and set down array traps in this star system, waiting for Mo Luo’s arrival.
"You discovered me long ago?" Mo Luo’s eyes flickered.
"Kill!" Lu Chenzhou raised his spear to attack, and the Twelve Yuan Chen encircled together.
"Kill me? Dream on! Even though it’s just a clone, I’m not afraid of you." Mo Luo revealed his terrifying Realm God Body, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the sun. In terms of size alone, the Realm God should be the largest existence in the universe, with mountain ranges forming giant hands to withstand the attacks of the Twelve Yuan Chen and Lu Chenzhou.
The fierce battle shook the heavens and the earth, and the star system trembled.
On Xia Star, hundreds of billions of beings watched the sky.
Even mortals could see the gigantic existence fighting with countless points of light against the vault of heaven and the sun.
"The Land Army Master has taken action."
"Is that the legendary Mo Luo Hall Master? They say he uses the Great World as his body."
"A Demigod has descended on the Xia Realm."
"The only thing left here by the Land Army Master is a clone; I wonder if it can hold out."
Countless people were worried.
After the shattering of the great curtain, Tianxia had encountered countless crises.
From small ones like Demon Venerable invasions to large ones like Demon Saint assaults.
But the high-ranking civilized individuals could always turn the tides of danger in time.
But this time, it’s a Demigod.
Yun Meng City.
Old Ji, Fei Yan, Ruyu, and other friendly relatives of the sect stood in the training field, watching the sky.
The mythological battles unfolded right in front of them, the real star-picking and moon-taking, grasping the universe.
"Is this the kind of enemy my junior brother faces every day?"
"Suddenly I feel so small; can Martial Arts truly reach such a stage, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Divine?"
"That once martial arts fanatic in high school has now become a god in the Human World."
At this moment, there was no fear in everyone’s heart, but more of a sense of awe.
They believed that, no matter how dire the front, the high-ranking civilized individuals, and Lu Chenzhou, could always handle it.
Day by day, time passed, and within the Mo Luo Hall Master’s heart grew increasingly anxious.
"What’s going on? I can’t even defeat Lu Chenzhou’s clone?"
Suddenly, a sense of crisis surged forth; the Mo Luo Hall Master knew the real Lu Chenzhou had likely finished receiving the inheritance.
"It’s time to retreat." He broke through the array restraints with extreme reluctance, shattered the void, and attempted to leave the Xia Realm.
"Stop him!" The young Lu Chenzhou chased after Mo Luo but was slapped away by Mo Luo in his burst of power.
Half of Mo Luo’s body squeezed into the Ruins Sea.
A black vortex solidified in the starry space as a blazing Golden Light descended beyond everyone’s vision. Before anyone could react, the Golden Light had pierced through the Divine Prison Realm, repeatedly rebounding and jumping, like a crisscrossing laser network, tearing Mo Luo apart.
The majestic Golden Winged Great Peng descended, transformed into the figure of Lu Chenzhou.
Holding a big halberd suffused with the Void Breaking Dao Essence, his gaze was cold, and two golden wings on his back continuously fanned and flapped.
"How could this be? My Realm God Body..." Mo Luo looked at his constantly disintegrating body, showing an expression of extreme terror for the first time.
