The numerous demon cultivators were utterly stunned.
Lu Xuan?
Chen Changsheng?
Lu Xuan, a picture of serene detachment, gazed down at the many Demon Race Great Emperors. He swallowed, his eyes gleaming with a predatory light.
Seeing Lu Xuan's gaze, the Demon Race Great Emperors' expressions turned frigid. It was unmistakably the look of a hunter sizing up its prey!
A grey-robed Demon Race Great Emperor frowned slightly. "Lu Xuan, Chen Changsheng... I didn't expect you two to truly be Emperor Realm experts!"
Seeing was believing!
Lu Xuan had now entered the Emperor Realm Area, so he must possess Emperor Realm strength.
What shocked them even more was that they couldn't discern either of their cultivation realms!
The Demon Race Great Emperors found it hard to accept.
The former Peak Master, once scorned as a good-for-nothing in the Southern Wilds, had actually leaped to become a Great Emperor? This was simply unbelievable!
If Lu Xuan was a Great Emperor, why had he always acted so meek and subservient before?
Lu Xuan said indifferently, "You're too weak. Just end yourselves."
Hearing this, the demon cultivators were instantly enraged.
They had never encountered such an arrogant madman!
Inside the stone hall, Cangyuan Old Ancestor and the others were dumbfounded.
That Chen Changsheng kid... he really knew how to hide his true strength!
When did he break through to Great Emperor?
This was taking his 'Gou Dao' to an extreme!
No wonder, during the Great Emperor Dao Pattern Baptism in the Dao Pattern Heavenly Pond last time, even with several Old Ancestors personally intervening and a massive influx of Dao Patterns, they couldn't fully fill Ye Chen's Martial Dao Smelting Furnace.
So it was this kid pulling the strings!
At this moment, Chen Changsheng looked at Lu Xuan. "How should we handle this, Master?"
Lu Xuan patted Chen Changsheng's shoulder. "I'll leave it to you, Changsheng."
Chen Changsheng nodded, and a dozen black Array Disks flew from his hand.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifyingly powerful array patterns surged between heaven and earth. The Array Disks settled in the void, erupting with brilliant divine radiance that sealed off the sky and locked down the land.
Chen Changsheng's Spirit Incantations shifted in his hands, and mysterious, recondite Dao Patterns continuously soared, drawing upon the grand momentum of this corner of the world.
Along the way, Lu Xuan had given him countless pointers.
Just by borrowing the grand momentum of heaven and earth, Chen Changsheng's strength had improved immensely!
Meanwhile, Lu Xuan stepped down from the void, flying towards Cangyuan Old Ancestor and the others.
"Eight Trigrams!"
Ring after ring of array patterns began to surge, sparkling like constellations, continuously sealing off the area where the Demon Race Great Emperors stood.
Just then, a few Demon Race Great Emperors burst through the cracks in the array patterns, charging towards Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan merely glanced at them.
A mere handful of Five-star, Six-star, and Seven-star Great Emperors!
He simply flicked a finger, and a Divine Arc shot forth, streaking across the void like a celestial river.
Whoosh!
In less than a breath, several massive heads flew through the air!
Blood splattered everywhere!
An Instant Kill!
Only three Seven-star Great Emperors remained, clutching their chests and spitting out gouts of vital blood.
They weren't dead, but they were Severely Injured!
One must understand, Lu Xuan was currently a Five-star Great Emperor, capable of an Instant Kill against Six-star Great Emperors. However, his true combat power was actually stronger than that of an ordinary Seven-star Great Emperor.
But this scene, to Chen Changsheng, was somewhat perplexing.
Why has Master become weaker?
Or perhaps he just wants to toy with these Seven-star Great Emperors?
Cangxuan Old Ancestor and the others also frowned slightly.
Is the White Robe Great Emperor injured?
Why has his formidable power seemingly vanished!
For a Nine-star Emperor Realm expert to annihilate a Seven-star Great Emperor, shouldn't it be effortless?
At this moment, Lu Xuan walked towards the three Demon Race Great Emperors. With every step, brilliant Great Emperor Dao Patterns bloomed beneath his feet, Dao Rhyme flowing, directly manifesting a Heaven-Reaching Great Dao.
Lu Xuan smiled faintly. "I'll give you a chance. Attack me. I won't retaliate."
Hearing this, the three Demon Race Great Emperors gnashed their teeth, their eyes bloodshot with fury, and launched a frenzied assault on Lu Xuan.
Terrifying Emperor Realm pressure, vast as an abyss and deep as the sea, surged forth. Demonic power surged, and ultimate killing intent roiled. It felt as if all the stars were falling, crushing down upon Lu Xuan.
Pfft!
A trickle of blood escaped Lu Xuan's lips. He was injured.
But in an instant, the Nine-star Emperor-tier Heaven-Reaching Medical Dao Power surged, and a faint azure glow emanated from his skin. His injuries vanished.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three Great Emperors attacked frantically, yet Lu Xuan continued to advance towards them, step by step.
Though injured, he instantly recovered!
Witnessing this, the three Demon Race Great Emperors' faces twisted into savage snarls. "You're toying with us!" they roared.
Lu Xuan smiled faintly, then flicked his sleeve, ceasing his 'test'.
The Red Serpent Poison shot forth, instantly lashing out towards the three Great Emperors.
Hiss!
The terrifying poison pierced their bodies, and the three great demons shrieked in agony.
How could they possibly withstand the poison of a Nine-star Emperor Realm expert?
In mere moments, the three Great Emperors' bodies turned pitch black, their skin and bones rapidly corroding until they dissolved into pools of putrid liquid, dripping from the void.
They were deader than dead.
Lu Xuan didn't look back, flying towards Cangyuan Old Ancestor and the others.
He had merely been conducting a small test, curious about his current true combat power.
Evidently, he could easily slay Seven-star Great Emperors!
He hadn't expected himself to be this powerful already.
Boom!
Lu Xuan landed beside Cangyuan Old Ancestor and the others, tossing out several Healing Pills. "Old Ancestors, take these first. The rest is up to Third Brother."
Cangyuan Old Ancestor gave a wry smile. "White Robe Daoist Friend, your disciples are truly heaven-defying! That Chen Changsheng kid... no, this Fellow Daoist, he's kept us in the dark for far too long!"
They could already tell that Chen Changsheng's actions carried the aura of a peak Emperor Realm expert, his strength far surpassing their own.
Now, they could only address him as a Fellow Daoist!
Lu Xuan chuckled. "He's alright. Third Brother's strength is... passable."
The Old Ancestors' faces twitched.
Passable? He calls that passable?
Where did that leave their old faces?
Suddenly, Cangyuan Old Ancestor slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That day, when Chen Changsheng stood before the Talent Stone Tablet and stirred the Grand Dao Bell, it wasn't Nanchenzi who triggered it, nor was it some accident! Was it Chen Changsheng who truly stirred the Grand Dao Bell?"
Lu Xuan merely smiled, saying nothing.
A tempest raged in Cangyuan Old Ancestor's heart.
The Old Ancestors of the "Cang" Lineage all scrutinized Lu Xuan. "White Robe Daoist Friend, just how many more secrets are hidden on Azure Mystery Peak?"
Lu Xuan chuckled. "Alright, I'm done pretending. I'll lay my cards on the table. In truth, I am the White Robe Great Emperor, and the White Robe Great Emperor is me. I've told you countless times before, but none of you ever believed me."
As his words fell, a stunned silence descended.
Everyone was utterly dumbfounded!
Countless lightning bolts seemed to flash through Cangyuan Old Ancestor's mind.
Crack!
His scalp tingled with shock!
Many memories resurfaced in his mind: that time in the Martial Emperor Secret Realm, and when the Heavenly Net Hall was annihilated... it wasn't just once or twice.
Lu Xuan was the White Robe Great Emperor!
He finally understood.
He remembered Lu Xuan once saying, "One cannot discern the true face of Mount Lu, for one is standing within it."
They had been blind to what was right under their noses!
Cangyuan Old Ancestor slapped his forehead. "Ah, Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan, you've truly kept us in the dark!"
Lu Xuan spread his hands. "I told you, but you wouldn't believe me!"
In the void above, Chen Changsheng's face twitched. He muttered, "Master, why did you expose yourself again?"
