“Lu Xuan! It’s you!”
The Demon Court forces, observing the Super Great Domain Chen Changsheng was piloting, all wore complex expressions. What the hell? Who crosses the starry sky like this? They’d heard the White Robe Great Emperor enjoyed ‘putting on a show,’ but seeing it firsthand was truly astonishing! Damn it, if the Southern Wilds held a competition for showing off, Lu Xuan would take eight out of ten parts!
Immediately, several Demon Court Spirit Shuttles positioned themselves in a standoff against Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan, however, remained sprawled on his recliner, taking a leisurely nap.
Chen Changsheng leaned in, reporting, “Master, the Demon Court has arrived!”
Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes. “Oh?”
Xuan Shang Old Ancestor and the others wore grave expressions, facing the Demon Court as if confronting a formidable foe. As Old Ancestors themselves, they were at a loss, their gazes instinctively turning to Lu Xuan for guidance.
Seeing this, Demon General Zhu Xiong’s face flushed crimson with rage. He roared, “Lu Xuan! I have never encountered such an arrogant and presumptuous individual!”
The entire Demon Court contingent bristled with fury, gnashing their teeth. With so many Quasi-Dao Supremes, they could easily sweep aside Xuan Shang Old Ancestor and his companions. They couldn’t fathom what Lu Xuan was playing at.
Lu Xuan offered no response, instead turning to Chen Changsheng. “Can you handle these guys?”
Chen Changsheng pondered for a moment. “I can.”
Lu Xuan then asked, “You, or me?”
Chen Changsheng replied without hesitation, “You should do it, Master.”
Xuan Shang Old Ancestor and the others were stunned. Chen Changsheng could defeat this entire host of Demon Court powerhouses? Just how strong was he, truly?
Lu Xuan slowly sat up from his recliner. “Alright, I’ll take care of it then.”
Witnessing this, Demon General Zhu Xiong could no longer restrain himself. He bellowed, “Lu Xuan, I’ve had enough of your damn antics!” Then he pointed at Chen Changsheng. “And who the hell are you?!”
Chen Changsheng offered an honest, simple smile. “My name is Chen Changsheng.”
Demon General Zhu Xiong scoffed, “Never heard of you in the Southern Wilds.”
Chen Changsheng remained speechless.
Demon General Zhu Xiong’s chest heaved, his breathing growing ragged with uncontrollable fury. Their Demon Court commanded the winds and clouds across the Southern Wilds, a mighty force boasting three Supreme Realm Old Ancestors! Yet today, they were being utterly disrespected by two mere ‘rats’ like Lu Xuan and Chen Changsheng?! These two were casually deciding their fates as if they weren’t even there? Did they truly believe they could kill them all?!
At that thought, Demon General Zhu Xiong immediately brandished his Three-pronged Rake, shaking it in the void. “Lu Xuan, die!”
Lu Xuan calmly stepped out into the void, directly activating his One-star Supreme Experience Card!
BOOM! His cultivation surged! Seven-star Great Emperor! Eight-star Great Emperor!… Half-step Supreme! One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme!… One-star Supreme!
In the next instant, Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes. He felt utterly transformed, an indescribable, profound mystery swirling around him. It was the power of Rules. Before him, the numerous Demon Court Quasi-Dao Supremes were laid bare in his eyes—their flesh, their souls, their very essence, completely transparent. He slowly extended his right hand, feeling a world-shattering power coalesce within his grasp. This was no mere strength; it was the Rule Power itself! Beneath the Rules, all are ants! The Supreme Realm was precisely about comprehending and establishing one’s own ‘Rules’ upon the Great Dao one walked.
Lu Xuan’s gaze stretched into the distance. He quickly perceived countless Great Domains scattered across the boundless starry sky, and within its innermost depths, a sacred land—the true core of the Bronze Ancient Palace. To subdue the Bronze Ancient Palace, he ultimately had to reach that place!
At this moment, all eyes were fixed on Lu Xuan. They sensed an incredibly profound and mysterious change emanating from him. Chen Changsheng’s eyes flickered with astonishment, freezing him in place. Aboard the Demon Court’s Spirit Shuttle, Feng Tianxiao of the Xuan Turtle Race slowly opened his eyes. He rose and stepped forward, meticulously scrutinizing Lu Xuan, an unprecedented gravity etched onto his face. He could no longer comprehend Lu Xuan!
At this moment, Lu Xuan stood, his white robes billowing, sword-like brows and starry eyes, hands clasped behind his back, the starry sky seemingly at his back. A faint divine radiance shimmered around him. He appeared close, yet simultaneously, as if separated by an entire world. Zhi Chi Tian Ya! Feng Tianxiao of the Xuan Turtle Race murmured to himself, “What cultivation technique has Lu Xuan truly mastered?”
Just then, BOOM! CRACK! The void tore open! Space warped! The Green-skirted Girl stepped out from the spatial rift, landing before Lu Xuan. Her cheeks were like carved jade, her snow-white arms crossed over her chest. She blinked her large eyes, staring at Lu Xuan, her face filled with utter astonishment. “How could you… how could you…”
Lu Xuan playfully pinched the Green-skirted Girl’s cheek. It was soft and smooth. The Green-skirted Girl forgot to resist, her small, snow-white hand stroking Lu Xuan’s arm, feeling the Rule Power. After a long moment, she finally managed, “Lu Xuan, you’re so terrifying now!”
Lu Xuan chuckled. “I told you I have plenty of Star Cores. You just didn’t believe me.”
The Green-skirted Girl’s eyes sparkled with spiritual energy. She nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking grain. “I believe you now.”
“Hey! Hey! HEY!” Suddenly, Demon General Zhu Xiong’s roar shattered the tranquility of the starry sky. He truly couldn’t take it anymore! Another Green-skirted Girl? What the hell?! Rumors claimed this Green-skirted Girl had been snatching opportunities from their Demon Court. He never imagined she was in league with Lu Xuan?!
In the next instant, Demon General Zhu Xiong directly swung his Three-pronged Rake, smashing towards Lu Xuan. Terrifying power surged from his body, the aura of a Great Demon swelling like a vast ocean, staining the void. Each step he took spanned a thousand zhang, mysterious Dao patterns coalescing beneath his feet, and his Three-pronged Rake gleamed with divine radiance. He brought it down directly on Lu Xuan! “Die!” His voice boomed like thunder.
The Green-skirted Girl quickly darted away from Lu Xuan’s side, running to Chen Changsheng. The two began whispering, their words indiscernible. Meanwhile, Demon General Zhu Xiong’s aura grew increasingly savage, his distance from Lu Xuan rapidly closing. Fifty thousand zhang! Ten thousand zhang! Five thousand zhang!
Lu Xuan remained utterly unperturbed, the hem of his white robe gently fluttering. He regarded Zhu Xiong as if he were nothing. His right hand slowly opened, and he casually uttered four words. “Zhi Chi Tian Ya!”
Demon General Zhu Xiong scoffed. He, too, sensed a strange shift in the surrounding space after Lu Xuan spoke those four words, but he couldn’t discern its nature. A moment later, he sneered, “Playing tricks!”
BOOM! Zhu Xiong’s Three-pronged Rake slammed down directly towards Lu Xuan’s head! Lu Xuan remained utterly still. “Dodge! Quickly!” Xuan Shang Old Ancestor cried out in alarm. But in the very next instant, everyone froze. The Three-pronged Rake had clearly descended upon Lu Xuan’s head, carrying world-shattering momentum, enough to annihilate a One-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme. Yet, Lu Xuan was completely unharmed.
A dead silence fell over the entire scene! Zhu Xiong had clearly struck Lu Xuan, yet he hadn’t struck him at all! The space around Lu Xuan was bizarre, seemingly belonging to an entirely different dimension! It felt as if they were mere figures in a painting, while Lu Xuan was the only true, tangible being! Everyone present was utterly terrified! Even the Green-skirted Girl pouted, two small dimples appearing on her cheeks. “Scary!”
Zhu Xiong exploded in fury. “You want to play games?! You damn well die!”
