The people of the Miluo Palace turned as green as their faces.
The strongest genius of Miluo Palace was defeated, and as the foremost Divine Palace of the Heavenly Court, their faces naturally lost their luster.
No one could have imagined that Emperor Ku, the strongest of the Heavenly Court, would lose.
Prince Long’s smile solidified into a serious expression that bordered on terrifying.
“Can the results be announced now? Cough cough cough…”
Lu Changsheng, his breath hanging by a thread, was barely able to stand up straight with the support of his Immortal Sword, Purple Lightning Clear Frost, forcibly preventing himself from collapsing.
Undoubtedly, Emperor Ku was an unprecedented strong opponent, with the Supreme Emperor Body not so easily dealt with.
It took Lu Changsheng everything he had to defeat Emperor Ku, and he himself was nearly at his last gasp.
But he couldn’t fall.
Once Lu Changsheng fell, it would have been considered a draw.
Lu Changsheng summoned an astonishing willpower to forcibly support his body, only then narrowly clinching victory.
Reminded by Lu Changsheng, the Golden Armor Heavenly General then announced the result: “In the final contest, Lu Changsheng from Mount Taihua is the victor.”
As soon as the Golden Armor Heavenly General’s words fell, the watching crowd erupted into frenzy.
“Our representative from the Lower Realm has won!”
They were not dreaming; Lu Changsheng from the Lower Realm had really defeated the number one expert of the Heavenly Court, the son of the Heavenly Emperor.
Seeing that the result was set in stone, Lu Changsheng smiled at Xia Ningxue, then collapsed on the Martial Arts Platform.
The final result was one of mutual defeat, but Lu Changsheng was still the victor.
Xia Ningxue, Lu Qinglian, Li Changye, Lin Qinghan, Lin Xuantong, and others immediately went up to the Martial Arts Platform, fed Lu Changsheng Elixir Pills, and used True Qi to help Lu Changsheng heal his meridians to prevent any hidden problems.
The Supreme Elders of Miluo Palace also appeared on the Martial Arts Platform immediately.
With Emperor Ku’s special identity and being the top talent of Miluo Palace, the Supreme Elders of Miluo Palace were terrified that something might happen to Emperor Ku and immediately used the most precious Elixir Pills to help him recover.
The foundation of Emperor Ku could not be compromised.
“The Qi Sea of Lu Changsheng’s Dantian is much vaster than that of ordinary people, truly miraculous.”
While using True Qi to help Lu Changsheng heal, Lin Xuantong felt the volume of Lu Changsheng’s Dantian’s Qi Sea, several times that of cultivators of the same realm.
Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan spoke, “This young man could defeat the Emperor, there must be something unique about him.”
Even the Jiang Family Ancestor was convinced: “I didn’t expect this youngster to actually defeat the Emperor, his future achievements are boundless.”
Contrasting sharply with the jubilation of the Mount Taihua Sacred Land, the elders and disciples of Miluo Palace had somber expressions, ashen-faced, only managing to breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that Emperor Ku had no long-term concerns.
If something serious had happened to the Emperor’s son, the Heavenly Emperor’s rage would bring unimaginable consequences.
Everyone looked towards the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor intended to use the Heavenly Court’s assembly as an opportunity to establish his son’s prestige.
But now, his son was defeated by the newly emerged Lu Changsheng, leaving all to wonder whether the Heavenly Emperor would be furious.
Only to hear the Heavenly Emperor indifferently say, “If my foolish son is inferior in skill and has lost, then he has lost. This Heavenly Court’s assembly, the contest is merely a diversion, the most important task is to establish the Immortal Realm’s united forces in response to the catastrophe.”
“Yes.”
All the Holy Lands and Prestigious Families responded, but without exception, they were filled with joy.
Their people from the Lower Realm had defeated the geniuses of the Heavenly Court, and in the future, when facing the Demon Realm, they would have greater say within the united forces of the Heavenly Court and the Lower Realm.
…
When Lu Changsheng awoke, he was already in a palace resting within the Mount Taihua Sacred Land.
Lu Changsheng immediately began to check the state of his Zodiac Meridians.
“When I used the Fifth Sword Realm, my meridians were damaged, but now they are intact; it seems someone has used True Qi to repair my meridians. Additionally, different strands of True Qi remain within me. Also, my practice of the Eternal Indestructible Art has certainly increased my endurance.”
Lu Changsheng felt touched.
After he had collapsed, a group of people had been helping him repair his damaged body.
Through the remaining True Qi, Lu Changsheng knew that Xia Ningxue, Lin Xuantong and others had helped him.
“Lu, you’re awake?”
Xia Ningxue was meditating; seeing motion in Lu Changsheng’s room, she immediately came over joyfully.
“Yes, I’m no longer in grave condition.”
“You can’t do this next time. Otherwise, if something were to happen to you, what would I do?”
Xia Ningxue’s eyes reddened, clearly having been worried and frightened during this period.
“Silly girl, I know my limits and won’t act recklessly.”
Lu Changsheng embraced Xia Ningxue, comforting her until she calmed down.
When Lu Changsheng stepped out of his room, the people of Mount Taihua Sacred Land were elated.
“Changsheng, it looks like you’re alright.”
“It’s unexpected that you were able to defeat the Emperor; it’s practically a miracle.”
“You boy, full of hidden depths, you’ve kept us old folks in the dark, giving us quite the scare.”
Jiang Family Ancestor even clapped Lu Changsheng on the shoulder, leaving him stunned.
Jiang Family Ancestor had always looked down on Lu Changsheng, but now after he had brought honor to Mount Taihua Sacred Land, Jiang Family Ancestor found Lu Changsheng pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at him.
“Changsheng, the Three Pure Ones Palace, Wuming Palace, Yunlou Palace, Big Dipper Palace, and these Divine Palaces all wish to invite you to join them. They even agree that you can retain your status as the Holy Son of Mount Taihua. What do you think?”
Lin Xuantong gave Lu Changsheng the right to choose.
Both Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan and Jiang Family Ancestor were somewhat uneasy.
After all, Lu Changsheng was a Loose Cultivator who had joined Mount Taihua Sacred Land from the outside; if he was enticed away by the Divine Palaces of Heavenly Court with more Cultivation Resources, Mount Taihua would lose an exceptional talent.
“I shall return to Mount Taihua for cultivation.”
What a joke.
Lu Changsheng had just thrashed Emperor Ku; if he continued to stay in the Heavenly Court, who knows when he might be settled with by the opposition.
Lu Changsheng certainly did not believe Emperor Ku would let him off the hook.
