Chapter 223: Earth-rank Demon Extermination General, Two Treasures
Translator: 549690339
Half an hour later.
Lu Yun accompanied Wei Zongcheng to the Far Suppression warship.
At the same time, Wei Tianlun called upon the numerous Earth-rank Demon Extermination Generals of the Far Suppression Legion, including Master Changkong of the Martial Academy, representatives of the Alchemist Alliance, and other experts of the Rune Seed Realm.
In the main hall, numerous strong figures of Rune Seed Realm and above gathered.
Seeing Lu Yun arrive with Wei Zongcheng, curiosity flashed in the eyes of these powerful warriors.
While waiting for Wei Tianlun, the atmosphere in the hall was filled with silence for a moment.
Among them, the representative of the Alchemist Alliance was an old man with white hair, Liu Wuya, a Seventh Grade Alchemist, with the mid-stage Rune Seed Realm cultivation.
Due to his status as a Seventh Grade Alchemist and representative of the Alchemist Alliance, he sat with Master Changkong and other Golden Core experts like Dugu Yuan and Linghu Dao.
Lu Yun caught a glimpse of the other three Golden Core experts; he had seen Master Changkong once before, but his face had been obscured by runes and golden light, making him hard to see clearly.
This time, he finally got a good look at the other man.
Wearing a blue robe, he had a gentle face, thick and tidy eyebrows, and his eyes were full of charisma.
He looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, but as a Golden Core expert, his actual age was certainly much older.
Having noticed Lu Yun’s gaze, Master Changkong gave him a faint smile.
Their eyes met for a brief moment before both of them averted their gazes.
In the following moments, Lu Yun went on to examine Linghu Dao and Dugu Yuan, two Golden Core Realm experts.
Both of them appeared middle-aged, fitting for their status as Heavenly Level Demon Extermination Generals. Their strong, determined faces and imposing stature, emphasized by their armor, exuded an overwhelming sense of power from afar.
Seeing Wei Tianlun hadn’t yet arrived, Liu Wuya was the first to break the silence: “General Linghu, is there something you would like to discuss at this meeting? If not, I still have things to attend to.”
“Exactly, if there is something for the Demon Suppression Army, General Linghu can say it now.”
Master Changkong nodded in agreement.
They usually didn’t attend formal meetings of the Demon Suppression Army, but this was the first time they had been invited.
General Linghu had a calm expression and a gentle smile. “Please don’t worry; General Wei will arrive shortly.”
Seeing Linghu Dao’s response, the others couldn’t say anything more and began to cultivate in silence.
Not long after, an imposing voice echoed in the hall, and a sudden flash of golden light appeared on the throne at the top. A middle-aged man appeared.
He had an ordinary appearance, simple and unassuming, but there was something in his presence that made it hard to look directly at him.
This was the most powerful Heavenly Level Demon Extermination General of the Far Suppression Legion, Wei Tianlun.
After sitting down, his gaze swept swiftly across the hall, settling on Lu Yun for a brief moment before giving him a smile and a nod.
After coughing lightly, Wei Tianlun said: “The reason for convening this meeting is to discuss the upcoming march plan.
According to the news from above, the Red Moon Demon Sect has allied with the Nine Nether Demon Sect and more than ten other sects to jointly resist the Demon Suppression Army.”
Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell into a brief silence.
It was already difficult to deal with the Red Moon Demon Sect, and now the addition of the Nine Nether Demon Sect made this war even more challenging.
However, other sects joining these forces was already within expectations.
“Please tell us directly, General, what your orders are.”
Wei Tianlun said: “The Blue Blade Legion and more than ten other legions, due to being attacked by other sects, have been slowed down in their progress. I have received orders to support the closest Blue Blade Legion.”
Originally, the target of the Blue Blade Legion was the Profound Darkness Sect, one of the Hundred Sects. However, with the addition of Dragon Tiger Mountain, they found themselves caught in a difficult situation.
We must go as quickly as possible to provide support; otherwise, the Blue Blade Legion will suffer heavy losses with enemies on both sides.”
Upon hearing these words, the faces of those gathered in the hall became solemn.
Each legion of the Demon Suppression Army had its own competition, but they were all in it together. If the Blue Blade Legion suffered heavy losses, it would have a negative impact on the Far Suppression Legion and the entire Demon Suppression Army.
Master Changkong and Liu Wuya also attached great importance to this matter. The Battle to Subjugate the Hundred Sects was crucial to the future strength of Morigin and the Nine Provinces’ Human Race; nothing could go wrong.
“Please give your orders, General.”
Wei Tianlun nodded: “Initially, we did not plan to confront Dragon Tiger Mountain, but since they have dared to join the Red Moon Demon Sect’s camp, we must suppress them with thunderous force, serving as a warning to the other observing Hundred Sects.”
At this point, he paused, his gaze falling on Linghu Dao and Master Changkong, and said decisively, “I ask the two of you to strike with all your might to exterminate the Profound Darkness Sect.”
Upon hearing this, both Linghu Dao and Master Changkong nodded in agreement.
As mid-stage Golden Core experts, they had no pressure in jointly exterminating a sect like Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Especially since most of Dragon Tiger Mountain’s forces were involved in the war against the Blue Blade Legion, leaving less than half of their strength guarding their mountain gates.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Tianlun turned to Liu Wuya.
“Elder Liu, please distribute the stored healing pills to all participating Demon Suppression Army soldiers and other martial artists, free of charge. Once the army recovers to its peak state, we will go all out to support the Blue Blade Legion.”
“Rest assured, General, I guarantee this will be done before the day is over.”
There were nearly two hundred thousand soldiers of the Far Suppression Legion and other participating martial artists; giving one pill to each person required more than two hundred thousand pills in total.
But Liu Wuya agreed readily, without a moment’s hesitation.
Upon witnessing this scene, Lu Yun couldn’t help but look at Liu Wuya with newfound admiration.
If these more than two hundred thousand pills were to fall into his own hands…
Unfortunately, he could only dream about it. No matter how bold he was, he wouldn’t dare covet these two hundred thousand pills.
“Furthermore—”
Wei Tianlun’s gaze fell upon Lu Yun.
“During the recent battles, Lu Yun demonstrated an extraordinary fighting prowess, which has greatly contributed to the expansion of our influence in the war. The Demon Suppression Army has always been clear-cut in rewarding contributions, especially our Far Suppression Legion.”
“I invite Lu Yun to join the Far Suppression Legion, promote him to the rank of Earth-rank Demon Extermination General, and bestow upon him a Treasure Artifact level battle armor and a Rune Seed level divine ability.”
Earth-rank Demon Extermination General!
Treasure Armor!
Rune Seed Divine Ability!
The people present show subtle changes in their expressions.
Any one of these things would be enough to make anyone feel shocked.
But now there are three of them.
To be promoted to Earth-rank Demon Extermination General, one must at least be at the Rune Seed Realm or have the combat strength of the Rune Seed Realm.
Although Lu Yun is powerful, he does not seem to meet any of these requirements.
Especially in terms of realms, he is far from these standards.
As for Treasure Armor, it’s even more valuable than ordinary treasure artifacts and extremely hard to find.
Typical strong fighters in the Rune Seed Realm wouldn’t even have the qualifications to obtain Treasure Artifact level battle armor.
Even among the Demon Suppression Army’s Earth-rank Demon Extermination Generals, obtaining a set of Treasure Artifact level battle armor is not easy.
Wei Zongcheng, who had condensed mid-level Rune Seeds and is the actual controller of the Far Suppression Legion, and his nephew Wei Tianlun, don’t even have Treasure Artifact level battle armor.
From this, it can be seen how precious Treasure Armor is.
As for Rune Seed level divine abilities, it needs no further explanation.
Rune Seed divine abilities are extremely precious, peeled off from the Rune Seeds of those talented fighters who have comprehended divine abilities.
Even so, Lu Yun received all three at once.
At the same time, it also indirectly shows Wei Tianlun’s appreciation for Lu Yun.
Upon careful thought, considering Lu Yun’s identity as a Saint Child and his terrifying potential, obtaining these items is not excessive.
At present, Lu Yun is only in the Origin Fluid Realm.
However, in the not-too-distant future, Lu Yun will represent, at the very least, a peak Golden Core Realm powerhouse.
In the vast Far Suppression Legion, the current strongest person is only at the late Golden Core Realm.
Even if Wei Tianlun’s combat power is astonishing and he has condensed a top-grade Golden Core, the gap between Golden Core Realm experts is extremely wide, making it difficult for him to contend against the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
By investing in a monster talent who will at least become a peak Golden Core Realm powerhouse with an Earth-rank Demon Extermination General’s identity, a set of Treasure Armor, and a Rune Seed divine ability, Wei Tianlun can only profit and not lose from any angle.
After understanding this point, those strong fighters all envy Wei Tianlun for obtaining such a monster talent like Lu Yun.
However, both Master Changkong and Liu Wuya’s expressions don’t show much of a fluctuation.
No matter where Lu Yun goes in the future, he is a Martial Academy’s person and a Martial Academy’s Saint Child. This cannot be changed.
For Liu Wuya, what matters most is alchemy, and everything else is secondary. Moreover, Lu Yun is an Honorary Executive of their Alchemist Alliance.
Suddenly, everyone congratulates Lu Yun.
Wei Zongcheng immediately smiles and says, “Congratulations, Brother Lu.”
“Congratulations, General Lu. From now on, we will be colleagues.”
The other Earth-rank Demon Extermination Generals also express their congratulations.
Although they are all stronger than Lu Yun, there is no hint of disdain in their attitude. They sincerely congratulate Lu Yun and treat him as an equal-level powerful fighter.
Down below.
Lu Yun accepts the command: “Thank you, General Wei.”
He had learned about this news from Wei Zongcheng earlier, so he appears very calm.
Wei Tianlun smiles and nods, waving his hand. Golden light flashes, and three orbs of light fly in front of Lu Yun.
The first orb of light disperses, revealing its contents.
It is a black-gold token with powerful rune energy surging on its surface, making it look very mysterious.
On the front of the token are depictions of Heaven, Earth, mountains, and countless powerful fighters engaged in battle, forming a scene of a battlefield filled with evil qi.
On the back are the three characters ‘Demon Suppression Army1 written in a dragon and phoenix dancing style.
“This is the Earth-rank Demon Extermination General’s identity token for the Demon Suppression Army. It performs a similar function as your previous Demon Extermination Token, but its mysteriousness far surpasses that of the Demon Extermination Token.
Lu Yun, you just need to refine it, and all the information about you in the Demon Extermination Token will be transferred to the Demon Extermination General token.”
Lu Yun nods, offering a strand of his spirit to refine it.
Name: Lu Yun
Identity: Earth-rank Demon Extermination General
Demon Extermination Points: 13,200.
After Lu Yun’s Demon Extermination General token is refined, another ball of light disperses, revealing the treasure inside.
It’s a black battle armor emitting a faint cold light, giving people a heavy, oppressive feeling.
“This is Treasure Armor, exclusive to the Demon Suppression Army. Its size, color, and appearance can change at will, but to unleash its strongest defense, you’ll need to use its current form.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun immediately recalls that during the previous battles, almost all the Demon Extermination Generals wore dark and deep black armor.
However, once the battles ended, they wore various styles of clothing.
“However, I need to remind you that activating the battle armor’s defense consumes a great deal of energy, especially at your current realm.
Don’t activate its strongest defense unless it’s a critical moment.”
Lu Yun nods and takes the battle armor.
Subsequently, his gaze falls on the last orb of light.
Compared to the other two orbs of light, this orb is even more mysterious. Lu Yun senses a powerful Rune energy from within it..
