“Yes.”
Two Demon Monarchs of the Divine King Realm were protecting Dantai Meng.
The Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable thought that Dantai Meng, accompanied by two Demon Monarchs, was more than enough to deal with Lu Changsheng.
But his target was the Saints of the Confucian Sect.
“Are you attacking the Confucian Assembly under the orders of the Demon Marshal?”
The Master, Duke Huanglong, and Nanhua Duke confronted several Demon Lords in mid-air.
“The Nine Great Confucian Sects slaughtered many of our comrades in Ancient Times. Today, we are here to settle the blood debt—there’s nothing more to say.”
The tone of the Cold Bone Demon Venerable was so icy that one felt as if plunged into an icy cavern.
“The Demon Sects infiltrated the assembly, most likely using the Disguise Pills refined by Cold Bone Demon Venerable. It’s unexpected that they could deceive our eyes,” said Nanhua Duke to the other two Saints.
“Only he can refine such a Demon Pill.”
The Master was no stranger to these old adversaries.
“Attack.”
With a wave of his hand, the Cold Bone Demon Venerable opened the gates amid demonic clouds, and Cultivators from the Demon Realm surged out, intent on annihilating all the strong cultivators at the Confucian Assembly!
“Prepare to engage the Demon Chief!”
“We, the Nine Great Confucian Sects, aren’t pushovers!”
“Don’t underestimate us, Confucian Cultivators!”
The million Confucian Cultivators within the venue summoned their Magical Treasures, illuminating the heaven and earth with multicolored light as they clashed with the Cultivators from the Demon Realm.
“It seems today’s competition cannot continue. We’ll exchange blows another time when there’s a chance,” said Song Ziming as he infused his Magnificent Righteous Qi into his writing brush, turning it into a giant Magical Treasure that repelled a Demon Chief trying to sneak attack from behind.
“Well done.”
Mo Huazhi held a Spirit Brush in each hand and simultaneously drew dragons and snakes on two sheets of xuan paper.
Multitasking, her brush strokes became chapters!
The two sheets of xuan paper shone with golden brilliance, and two phoenixes, lifelike, soared skyward from within the paper.
These two phoenixes were conjured by Mo Huazhi’s Magnificent Righteous Qi, each possessing the battle prowess of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
“It is I who have lost…”
As Tianming Academy’s first prodigy in a million years, Song Ziming couldn’t help but feel inferior after witnessing Mo Huazhi’s astounding performance.
The phoenixes, ablaze, devoured several Demon Chiefs.
The Demon Chiefs were turned into dust before they could even struggle.
“One Sword Across Ages!”
Lin Qingzhi applied the Sect-Defending Skills of Mount Taihua Sacred Land, reducing several Demon Chiefs to nothingness under the sharp Sword Qi.
As the Chief Senior Disciple under Lu Changsheng and with the consent of the Old Ancestors from various Holy Lands, Lin Qingzhi was also qualified to cultivate the sword techniques left behind by the past Mount Taihua Goddess.
“Hundredfold Desolate Force!”
Wielding the powerful physique refined by the Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art, Lu Qinglian unleashed the Hundredfold Desolate Force, shattering a Demon Monarch of the Immortal Emperor Realm with immense punching power.
“The Ultimate Yin and Yang, Sun and Moon without limit!”
Shen Xiaoyao and Tang Ling’er joined forces, applying the Sun, Moon, and Stars Skills.
The fusion of Shen Xiaoyao’s Pure Yang True Qi and Tang Ling’er’s Pure Yin True Qi created a chaotic energy that combated Demon Chiefs from all directions.
Lu Changsheng intercepted Dantai Meng and the Dark AnChen Demon Monarch along with other powerhouses to prevent them from attacking his disciples.
He had already perceived that Dantai Meng had reached the cultivation level of the Ninth Grade Divine King, and the two Divine King Realm Demon Lords she brought were also much stronger than Lu Changsheng’s disciples. He absolutely could not allow them to confront his disciples.
“Hmph, Lu Changsheng, this time, I’m not afraid of you,” said Dantai Meng as she circulated her Demonic Cultivation Skills, her Demonic Qi swirling around her, her cultivation as a Ninth Grade Divine King fully evident.
She deliberately let Lu Changsheng know her strength, to make him feel desperate.
“The sky has cleared up, and you think you’re capable again?”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t understand Dantai Meng’s way of thinking.
How does Dantai Meng never learn her lesson?
“I’ve always been one to avenge my grievances,” said Dantai Meng as she displayed the Eternal Dream Bell in her palm, the very same Magical Treasure she had used before. However, her expression suddenly changed, “How is this possible? You’ve become a Ninth Grade Divine King too?!”
Lu Changsheng also openly released his own aura.
Who isn’t a Ninth Grade Divine King?
Dantai Meng’s Dao heart nearly collapsed.
She had gone through countless life-and-death battles in the Eternal Dream Devil Realm, only surviving by the skin of her teeth to break through to the Divine King Realm in such a short time. Yet, Lu Changsheng seemed to have done nothing, and he’s reached the Divine King Realm?
“Damn it, I want you to taste the true power of the Eternal Dream Bell!”
Dantai Meng uttered the incantation, stimulating the Eternal Dream Bell; the invisible spirit attack transformed into a long spear, thrusting towards Lu Changsheng to destroy his divine sense.
Lu Changsheng stood motionless.
“Fool, the Eternal Dream Bell might seem like a spatial magical treasure, but in reality, it is a spirit artifact possessing many methods for spirit attacks. Even if his physical body is strong, once his Sea of Consciousness shatters, he would become nothing but a walking corpse.”
Dark AnChen Demon Monarch and another Demon Monarch were deeply aware of the terrifying power of the Eternal Dream Bell. With Dantai Meng channeling it using the True Qi of a Ninth Grade Divine King, even Dark AnChen Demon Monarch found it difficult to resist its spirit attacks.
In their eyes, Lu Changsheng was undoubtedly doomed to die.
However, the moment the Eternal Dream Bell’s spear of spirit hit Lu Changsheng’s Sea of Consciousness, the Soul Subduing Tower manifested, shattering the spear of spirit.
The spirit attack of the Eternal Dream Bell proved utterly ineffective against Lu Changsheng, who possessed the Soul Subduing Tower.
Having refined his physique and possessing the Soul Subduing Bell, for Dantai Meng to think of killing Lu Changsheng was nothing short of a pipe dream.
“You…”
Dantai Meng was stunned.
This guy was merely at the early Divine King realm; how could he have so many Dao Artifacts? Why was he so hard to kill?
“A Third Grade Dao Artifact; this kid really has a plethora of magical treasures, and his growth rate is far too quick…”
Dark AnChen Demon Monarch’s back was drenched in sweat, shocked by the recognition of the grade of Lu Changsheng’s magical treasures and by his astonishing growth rate.
“Miss, let’s not provoke this kid. It’s better to leave him for Demon Venerable to deal with…”
Seeing the calm and relaxed expression on Lu Changsheng’s face, Dark AnChen Demon Monarch increasingly realized that the situation was turning dire.
It seemed as if they were the prey.
Dantai Meng realized that Lu Changsheng’s realm was similar to hers, and he possessed many magical treasures. After calming down, she too was shocked into a cold sweat.
She understood all too well the dire consequences she would face if they failed to deal with Lu Changsheng.
Dantai Meng wanted to retreat.
It was too late.
Lu Changsheng took out a scroll from his bosom.
As the scroll unfurled, it revealed landscapes of mountains and rivers, sun, moon, and stars.
“This is the Mountain and Rivers Chart!”
Dantai Meng exclaimed in alarm; could it be that this time…
“Step inside for me.”
Lu Changsheng exerted his full strength to activate the Mountain and Rivers Chart.
This Dantai Meng, if not punished properly, will always make trouble.
The Mountain and Rivers Chart transformed into a world of its own, like a black hole, intent on swallowing Dantai Meng whole.
The Mountain and Rivers Chart produced a powerful suction, dragging Dantai Meng’s body uncontrollably into its depths.
“Miss!”
The Demon Monarchs, including Dark AnChen, exclaimed in shock.
Dantai Meng had actually been captured by Lu Changsheng!
If anything were to happen to Dantai Meng, they would all have to face the consequences.
But with Lu Changsheng holding the Mountain and Rivers Chart, and his Sea of Consciousness protected by the Soul Subduing Tower, it was impossible for Dark AnChen Demon Monarch and the others to kill Lu Changsheng, let alone rescue Dantai Meng.
Moreover, if they attacked rashly and ended up harming Dantai Meng trapped within the Mountain and Rivers Chart, what would they do?
“Aaaahhh!!!”
Dantai Meng, finding herself captured within the Mountain and Rivers Chart, couldn’t help but be hysterical, nearly driven mad.
Once again, she was captured alive by Lu Changsheng! Only because of the Demonic Might of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable had Lu Changsheng refrained from killing her so far. If it were someone else, Lu Changsheng would have slaughtered her long ago.
“Disciple, do you still dare to show disrespect to your Master?”
The voice of Lu Changsheng came from outside the Mountain and Rivers Chart, like that of a deity.
As the Mountain and Rivers Chart was Lu Changsheng’s magical treasure, Dantai Meng, who was trapped within it, could only be at Lu Changsheng’s mercy.
Originally, Dantai Meng had intended to threaten Lu Changsheng, but realizing that this guy responded to soft approaches and not forceful ones and in a bid to save her own life, she had no choice but to hold her tongue, showing pitiable eyes and looking sorrowfully at Lu Changsheng: “Master~ I know my mistake~ Please spare me, okay?”
“…”
Lu Changsheng was stunned.
It seems that this guy had already figured out Lu Changsheng’s personality.
Indeed, Lu Changsheng was more receptive to soft approaches over forceful ones.
“You brat, if you dare to lay a finger on my daughter, this Venerable One shall slay you!”
The Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, noticing his daughter had been captured by Lu Changsheng, immediately transmitted his voice over.
He had only this precious daughter, and if Lu Changsheng did anything to her, he would assuredly go on a murderous rampage.
