Lesser Five Elements Annihilation Shakes Heaven and Earth; Dao Lord Qingxuan Concedes the Secret Realm!

Seeing this scene, countless people were dumbfounded. Martial Venerables, disciples of the Taicang Sacred Ground, and those who had hoped to join the sacred ground all stared blankly into the void. A clash of power at the Martial Saint level had already far exceeded their comprehension. Yet the most shocked among them was the ancestor of the Taicang Sacred Ground—its sole Martial Saint! Martial Saint Taicang stared in horror at Lu Changsheng and his companions. "You are definitely not Martial Saints. Just who are you?" Evidently, the methods Lu Changsheng's group wielded were miraculous and profoundly beyond the level of a Martial Saint. Zhao Yujian had unleashed his brain domain, instantly shattering Martial Saint Taicang's void seal. With his hands clasped behind his back, he looked down at Martial Saint Taicang and said coldly, "You know nothing... At best, you are merely frogs looking up from the bottom of a well. A Martial Saint? Nothing more than a Martial Saint in a trivial secret realm, yet you dare claim to be the pinnacle of martial arts? How could you ever fathom the vastness of the true martial path?" "The true martial path..." Martial Saint Taicang snapped his head up as if something had occurred to him, disbelief surfacing in his eyes. "Could you be... people from beyond the heavens?" Martial Saint Taicang cried out in terror. "Hmm?" "How does a native of a secret realm know about beyond the heavens?" Xia Chengfeng frowned, his voice deep and inquiring. "People from beyond the heavens... It's true, you really are from beyond the heavens. "So the legends were true all along. "Beyond our Taicang Continent, there are indeed heavens beyond heavens. And within those higher heavens, there are very likely mighty demon gods possessing terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth. "I didn't believe it before, but now I do..." Martial Saint Taicang had personally clashed once with these "demon gods from beyond the heavens." He knew very well just how powerful these demon gods from beyond the heavens were—so powerful they drove him to despair. Martial Saint Taicang was by no means weak. On the contrary, even among Martial Saints, he was considered top-tier. In the entire Taixuan Continent, he was undeniably one of the supreme powerhouses. Yet as strong as he was, before these "demon gods from beyond the heavens," he was utterly frail. Meanwhile, Xia Chengfeng was already examining the Taicang Divine Stone. "No doubt about it, this is a law divine stone!" "We've finally obtained our first law divine stone!" "This is fantastic." Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian were both thrilled. How long had it been? Not even a full day! To obtain a law divine stone so quickly was astounding efficiency. Their gazes turned involuntarily toward Lu Changsheng. Clearly, the credit belonged entirely to him. Without his Perception Domain, how could they have rushed straight to the Taicang Sacred Ground and seized the Taicang Divine Stone? "Demon gods from beyond the heavens! What do you intend by seizing our Taicang Divine Stone?" Martial Saint Taicang yelled, his voice trembling. However, neither Xia Chengfeng nor Zhao Yujian replied. Instead, Lu Changsheng suddenly turned sideways, his gaze fixing on the distant void. A flying vessel! A massive flying vessel, traveling at incredible speed, arrived over the Taicang Sacred Ground in an instant. Three Foundation Establishment Dao Lords stood aboard the vessel. Sweeping their divine senses across the scene, their eyes locked instantly onto the law divine stone in Xia Chengfeng's hand. "A law divine stone!" "The Taicang Divine Stone we heard about really was a law divine stone! It seems we were just a step too late." "Those three are Dao Foundation martial artists. They look like Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian from the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect, and the other one is... Lu Changsheng!" "How could three Dao Foundation martial artists have such luck, beating us to the law divine stone?" The three Foundation Establishment Dao Lords looked displeased. After all, they had come specifically for the Taicang Sacred Ground's Taicang Divine Stone. Being beaten to the punch naturally soured their moods. Even if they had no personal use for a law divine stone, they could trade it with Dao Foundation experts. Law divine stones were far too critical for Dao Foundation experts; many top-tier figures would pay any price to trade for one. "Leave the law divine stone, and you may depart safely!" one of the Foundation Establishment Dao Lords aboard the vessel called out. The moment he spoke, the hearts of Xia Chengfeng and his companions sank, their expressions turning grim. They were top-tier Dao Foundation experts, renowned masters who commanded respect across the Ancient Region. Yet now, these three Foundation Establishment Dao Lords did not put them in their eyes at all, brazenly demanding they leave the law divine stone behind. This was no longer a simple contest—it was outright robbery. "Who are they?" Lu Changsheng asked suddenly. He did not recognize the three Foundation Establishment Dao Lords. But since the other party recognized Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian, their status and strength were likely extraordinary. Xia Chengfeng's eyes turned cold, and his voice was grave. "They are Dao Lords from the Great Sun Immortal Sect. Their leader is Dao Lord Qingxuan of the Great Sun Immortal Sect, a man whose strength shakes heaven and earth. He is said to be only half a step away from advancing beyond Foundation Establishment, having practically stepped one foot into the Golden Core realm. "With only one or two Foundation Establishment Pills, he should be able to coalesce a Golden Core. "There is no doubt Dao Lord Qingxuan can form a Golden Core; his entry into this secret realm is likely to plunder treasures to the greatest extent possible to serve as his foundation after ascending to the Golden Core realm. "He holds no regard for any other Dao Foundation or Foundation Establishment cultivators." Though Xia Chengfeng's words were tinged with resentment, they were also steeped in deep apprehension toward this Dao Lord Qingxuan. From this, Lu Changsheng understood that Dao Lord Qingxuan was extraordinarily formidable. To possess the confidence to enter the secret realm to sweep up all the treasures, one had to be either a madman or a supreme expert with the strength to sweep away all opposition. Otherwise, how could anyone dare entertain such a notion? After all, every Foundation Establishment Dao Lord and Dao Foundation cultivator who entered this secret realm was at the top tier; not a single one was weak. Yet even among them, Dao Lord Qingxuan was one of the absolute foremost. "Brother Lu, how about we yield this law divine stone to Dao Lord Qingxuan for now? With your Perception Domain methods, finding another law divine stone shouldn't be difficult," Xia Chengfeng gritted his teeth and whispered. He was prepared to back down. Before even exchanging blows, Xia Chengfeng already wanted to concede. Clearly, Dao Lord Qingxuan's illustrious reputation was enough that his mere appearance stripped Xia Chengfeng of all confidence. Lu Changsheng remained unmoved. "Yield once, and you will yield a second time," he said faintly. "If we give up this law divine stone, what about the second? The third? "Since Dao Lord Qingxuan's goal is to bolster his foundation, he intends to sweep through all the treasures in this secret realm. Even if you obtained several divine stones, you wouldn't be able to keep them. "Besides, treasures that have fallen into Lu's hands have never been handed back over." Lu Changsheng paused, then cast his gaze toward Dao Lord Qingxuan. "You want the law divine stone? Dao Lord Qingxuan, come take it yourself!" Lu Changsheng's voice echoed grandly across the void. Martial Saint Taicang narrowed his eyes slightly. Glancing between Dao Lord Qingxuan and Lu Changsheng, he clearly realized something. Down below, the many Martial Venerables and sacred ground disciples were not fools either, and seemed to catch on as well. "Judging from what Ancestor said, both groups are probably demon gods from beyond the heavens. Now they're going to turn on each other over the Taicang Divine Stone?" "If the demon gods fight to the death among themselves, perhaps both sides will be crippled, and we can wipe them out in one fell swoop!" "Hehe, demon gods fighting over a single Taicang Divine Stone! These insatiably greedy demons deserve to die!" Even Martial Saint Taicang thought along those lines. Despair had gripped him only moments ago, but now he quietly retreated a distance, his eyes fixed on Lu Changsheng and Dao Lord Qingxuan. However, no one paid any heed to Martial Saint Taicang. To the Dao Foundation experts and Foundation Establishment Dao Lords, the natives of the secret realm were beneath their notice. All natives were like ants—truly, all living things were as ants! Even an expert of the Martial Saint level was not worth mentioning in the eyes of any Dao Foundation or Foundation Establishment cultivator, unable to make the slightest wave. As for waiting for both sides to suffer so they could reap the spoils? That was wishful thinking. Could an ant watching two elephants fight ever dream of wiping both out once they were wounded? A mere puff of breath would snuff the ant out. In the void, Dao Lord Qingxuan remained indifferent. The two Foundation Establishment Dao Lords beside him, however, bellowed in anger. "Impudent!" "A mere Lu Changsheng dares act so insolent?" "There is no need for Dao Lord Qingxuan to dirty his hands—we can slay you ourselves!" The two Foundation Establishment Dao Lords flickered, instantly arriving before Lu Changsheng's group. Buzz! Both directly deployed their magic treasures. One was a mountain-like great seal that expanded with the wind to hundreds, even thousands of feet in height, spanning the void while radiating a terrifying aura. The other was a flying sword—or rather, not just a single sword, but a dense sword formation composed of dozens upon dozens of flying swords. The sword formation blanketed the sky, giving off an incisive aura. Magic treasures were already formidable, and within the secret realm, their might was magnified to earth-shaking proportions. Witnessing this, the Martial Saint, Martial Venerables, and disciples of the Taicang Sacred Ground were struck dumb, their minds reeling! "What kind of divine methods are these?" "Such terrifying pressure... It feels as though heaven and earth are splitting apart." "Just how powerful are these demon gods from beyond the heavens?" "Methods like these... even the aftershocks could easily annihilate the entire Taicang Sacred Ground." "Against such demon gods, who could ever stand?" For a time, many in the Taicang Sacred Ground fell into despair, including Martial Saint Taicang. Previously, he had entertained thoughts of reaping the spoils and wiping them all out. But seeing the methods of these demon gods from beyond the heavens, he plunged into total despair. The gulf between them was truly like that between an ant and an elephant—insurmountable. As the two Foundation Establishment Dao Lords attacked, Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian's expressions darkened slightly. They exchanged glances, weighing their options. Soon, however, they made their decision. Coming to this secret realm was inherently a gamble. Moreover, they needed the law divine stone far more than Lu Changsheng did! Even this stone, once secured, would ultimately belong to them. With that thought, they cast all reservations aside. It was nothing more than fighting to the death. Besides, all three of them were top-tier Dao Foundation experts; were they truly supposed to cower before Dao Lord Qingxuan? Buzz! In the next instant, the brain domains of both men descended, directly enveloping the two Foundation Establishment Dao Lords. "Hmph! Your opponents are the two of us!" "Did you think we were just ornaments?" Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian each unleashed four laws. Four radiance beams flashed repeatedly, accompanied by the manifestation of divine techniques. The clash between divine techniques and magic treasures shook heaven and earth. The void seemed on the verge of fracturing. Terrifying shockwaves rippled outward in all directions, carrying an apocalyptic dread. Everyone in the Taicang Sacred Ground trembled all over. Even as mere onlookers, sheer terror welled up from the depths of their hearts. Lu Changsheng, however, appeared indifferent to the surrounding shockwaves. His gaze remained fixed on Dao Lord Qingxuan throughout. Dao Lord Qingxuan seemed somewhat surprised. Neither Xia Chengfeng nor Zhao Yujian, but rather this Lu Changsheng appeared to be the strongest among the three? Yet was that possible? Hailing from the Great Sun Immortal Sect, he was aware of some news regarding Lu Changsheng. It had only been a little over a year since Lu Changsheng built his Dao Foundation—definitely less than two years. In less than two years, how strong could someone's cultivation be? "Interesting," Qingxuan remarked. "I thought Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian merely brought you along into the secret realm to broaden your horizons. Who knew you were the one truly hiding your depth? "Still, you don't actually believe you can stop me, do you?" Dao Lord Qingxuan waved his hand. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Array banners flew out one after another, instantly sealing off the entire void. Furthermore, it was more than just a void lock. Even if the void shattered, Lu Changsheng would remain trapped within the formation. This secret realm was large-scale and, remarkably, contained spiritual qi. Because of this natural spiritual qi, deploying all kinds of spells and array banners here encountered no obstacles. In fact, because the realm's fabric was so frail, spells and arrays unleashed by Foundation Establishment Dao Lords carried horrifying power. "The Absolute Fiend Grand Formation!" "Against this, even a top-tier Dao Foundation expert possessing four laws would face certain death!" Dao Lord Qingxuan stood with his hands behind his back, not even deploying a magic treasure. To him, doing so was pointless. Dealing with Dao Foundation martial artists was simply too easy. After all, martial artists did not understand formations. Once trapped in a formation, their only recourse was to break out by brute force. Yet to break a formation by sheer force required several times the strength of the formation itself. If his opponent had been a top Foundation Establishment Dao Lord versed in formations, Qingxuan's array might easily be unraveled. Unfortunately for Lu Changsheng, he was a Dao Foundation martial artist. To Dao Lord Qingxuan, a mere martial artist was nothing more than a brute. Ignorant of formations and reliant solely on brute force, they were effortless to deal with. He did not even need to take action personally; this single formation alone was enough to suppress and slaughter a top-tier Dao Foundation expert! At this moment, within the formation: Everyone could see rolling fiend qi surging through the array. Wherever the fiend qi swept, even top Dao Foundation experts would be thrown into disarray, their bodies breaking down as the fiend qi corroded them. Yet Lu Changsheng seemed entirely unfazed. Boom! In the next instant, his brain domain descended. As Lu Changsheng's brain domain crashed down, an immense pressure fell upon Dao Lord Qingxuan like Mount Tai collapsing overhead. "Hm?" "This pressure..." Dao Lord Qingxuan looked up abruptly, the smile on his face slowly freezing. He had seen the brain domains of Dao Foundation martial artists before. Yet for a pure brain domain to exude such overwhelming pressure and majesty was practically unheard of. Even with four laws... At that thought, Dao Lord Qingxuan's eyes widened. What was he seeing? Within Lu Changsheng's brain domain, beams of brilliance flashed one after another. Each beam represented a distinct law. One, two, three, four, five, six! A full six laws! Dao Lord Qingxuan had encountered many top Dao Foundation experts. He had even seen top Dao Foundation experts with five laws. But a top Dao Foundation expert who had mastered six laws was something he had only heard about in rumors, never witnessing one with his own eyes. Yet here he stood, witnessing firsthand a top Dao Foundation expert with six laws! "Six laws? How is that possible?" For the first time, shock cracked Dao Lord Qingxuan's calm and composed facade. Six laws dealt him an enormous shock. He would never believe six laws were merely for show. For Dao Foundation martial artists, more laws meant greater strength—that was an indisputable rule. Just like now: when Lu Changsheng's brain domain descended, relying purely on a brain domain empowered by six laws, it was actually holding its ground against Qingxuan's Absolute Fiend Grand Formation. No matter how the fiend qi roiled, Lu Changsheng remained inside his brain domain, protected on all sides by the circulating laws. The fiend qi could not breach his six laws at all. However, Lu Changsheng's six laws also struggled to shatter the Absolute Fiend Grand Formation on their own. He still needed to use a divine technique. "Fire." Instantly, flames surged to the heavens, blazing across his entire brain domain. "Divine technique, Flame Stream." With a thought from Lu Changsheng, Flame Stream at the consummate realm was unleashed. The sky-filling flames gradually transformed into a magma-like power, reducing everything in its path to dust. The Absolute Fiend Grand Formation was no exception. Though the fiend qi was pervasive, under the torrent of Flame Stream, even the fiend qi ignited, burning until only ash remained. Crack! After only a few breaths, the Absolute Fiend Grand Formation could no longer hold out. With even its fiend qi ignited, the formation naturally broke apart. "What?" "My Absolute Fiend Grand Formation was broken that easily?" Dao Lord Qingxuan's expression shifted drastically once more. He understood that Lu Changsheng possessed six laws and a formidable brain domain. But the divine technique Lu Changsheng had unleashed clearly appeared to be a compound divine technique of only three laws—how could its power be so terrifying? Under normal circumstances, even a four-law compound divine technique would struggle to break his Absolute Fiend Grand Formation. Yet a single strike from Lu Changsheng's Flame Stream had shattered it. "This divine technique... is consummate?" Dao Lord Qingxuan narrowed his eyes. Even amid his shock, he did not cease observing and deducing. Now he understood the reason. A top-tier compound divine technique at the consummate realm possessed terrifying power. A divine technique that had reached consummation was an entirely different beast from one that had not. Evidently, the Lu Changsheng before him was a truly formidable adversary. At the very least, Dao Lord Qingxuan would have to bring out his full arsenal; otherwise, he truly wouldn't be able to subdue him. "Well done, Lu Changsheng. A consummate compound divine technique and six laws... Almost everyone underestimated you..." Dao Lord Qingxuan's expression turned solemn. This time, he would no longer underestimate Lu Changsheng. He would go all out! Buzz! In the next instant, Dao Lord Qingxuan unleashed his magic treasure. Rumble! A sound like rolling thunder erupted. In the void, a pagoda appeared at some unknown moment, lightning crackling across its entire structure. As the electricity flickered, a vast expanse of dark clouds rapidly converged in the sky. In the blink of an eye, dark clouds pressed down from above! A dreadful aura permeated the void. Everyone opened their mouths wide, not daring to utter a single sound. "The Lightning Light Pagoda!" Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian cried out in alarm. They halted their attacks immediately, retreating frantically alongside the two other Foundation Establishment Dao Lords. The Lightning Light Pagoda was renowned far and wide. It was said that once the pagoda emerged, thunder would destroy the world! Yes, destroy the world! The thunder released by the Lightning Light Pagoda possessed a terrifying world-destroying might. Typically, whenever Dao Lord Qingxuan brought out the Lightning Light Pagoda, the outcome was settled—there was virtually no suspense left. Sizzle! Suddenly, a bolt of lightning as thick as a child's arm shot forth from the Lightning Light Pagoda, streaking toward Lu Changsheng. How fast was lightning? In almost the blink of an eye, Lu Changsheng felt the six laws circulating around him pierced through in an instant. Even the power of his brain domain was pierced. Not even the Flame Stream guarding his body could completely block it; it could only stop most of it, and a remnant bolt blasted into Lu Changsheng. Bang! Half of Lu Changsheng's body was blown apart by the lightning. However, such an injury was nothing to a Dao Foundation martial artist. A Dao Foundation martial artist's vitality was extraordinarily robust. Especially within their own brain domain, so long as they were not annihilated in a single instant, they would not die. Even so, a strike of this caliber was terrifying. "So this is a top Dao Lord?" "Relying on top-grade magic treasures, they truly are difficult for experts at the pinnacle of Dao Foundation to resist." Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes. He had tasted the might of the Lightning Light Pagoda. Yet so what? Foundation Establishment Dao Lords had magic treasures, but Dao Foundation martial artists had divine techniques! What was more, Lu Changsheng's divine technique was no ordinary one. At this moment, Lu Changsheng hesitated no longer. "Lesser Five Elements Annihilation!" In the next moment, Lu Changsheng unleashed his divine technique. This was currently his strongest technique, fusing a total of five laws, with the Flame Law as its core. The moment the Lesser Five Elements Annihilation divine technique appeared, the surrounding void collapsed piece by piece. It was as if the entire world were breaking down. Moreover, wherever it passed, everything was annihilated. "What?" Dao Lord Qingxuan's pupils shrank violently. What kind of divine technique was this? He had never seen it before. Not only had he never seen it, he had never even heard of it! As a rule, Dao Lord Qingxuan would have heard of any powerful divine technique. Yet the technique Lu Changsheng deployed radiated five-colored brilliance—this was a compound divine technique of five laws! Dao Lord Qingxuan could not have imagined even in his wildest dreams that this was a top-tier compound divine technique Lu Changsheng had deduced and created himself. It was the technique most attuned to Lu Changsheng, and it had reached the consummate realm from the very start! All of these factors combined caused the technique's ferocious might to soar to the absolute peak! This was also Lu Changsheng's first time unleashing the Lesser Five Elements Annihilation divine technique before an audience, and his first time using it against an enemy. Not even Lu Changsheng himself had known just how terrifying its power would be. Now, however, he knew. What did he see? Centered on the Lesser Five Elements Annihilation divine technique he had unleashed, five-colored radiance pulsed, rapidly expanding in all directions. Wherever it spread, everything silently disintegrated into nothingness. And what was most horrifying? The annihilated matter actually converted into fuel for Lesser Five Elements Annihilation, causing its power to swell even further! "This is... conversion!" "The Five Elements are endlessly generative. So long as it belongs to the Five Elements, the power can be directly converted by Lesser Five Elements Annihilation. Except for Earth-attribute power, all other elemental powers can be converted. "And the vast majority of things in this world are fundamentally composed of the Five Elements..." Thoughts flashed through Lu Changsheng's mind. Lesser Five Elements Annihilation swept directly across several palaces of the Taicang Sacred Ground below. Yet those palaces were all reduced to ash. They vanished. Completely vanished. Not a trace remained, as if they had been swallowed whole. Even flowers, grass, and trees disappeared—leaving only the bare ground. Such a sight struck boundless horror into the hearts of all who watched. "What kind of divine technique is this?" "Does our Ancient Region Heavenly Sect possess such a technique?" "A divine technique like this..." Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian's minds were shaken to the core, scarcely able to believe their eyes. They were certain they had never seen this divine technique before, and it was absolutely not one kept in the Heavenly Sect's archives. The Ancient Region Heavenly Sect did not have any divine technique this terrifying! "Lightning Light Pagoda, Tribulation of Ten Thousand Thunders, descend!" Dao Lord Qingxuan panicked completely, having lost all confidence. The Lesser Five Elements Annihilation divine technique was like a black hole; wherever it passed, everything turned to pitch-black emptiness as all was devoured. Dao Lord Qingxuan dared not be careless and drove the Lightning Light Pagoda with all his might. Bolt after bolt of lightning poured madly down toward Lu Changsheng. Yet it was utterly futile. Lightning seemed not to belong to the Five Elements, but in truth, it did. Lightning was fundamentally linked to fire, an offshoot variant of the Flame Law. As long as it was of the Five Elements, it would be devoured by Lesser Five Elements Annihilation. Qingxuan driving the Lightning Light Pagoda to unleash terrifying lightning attacks was essentially feeding the Lesser Five Elements Annihilation divine technique, causing its power to swell yet again. "How can this be?" "My Lightning Light Pagoda can't do anything to his divine technique?" "Just what kind of divine technique is this?" Dao Lord Qingxuan could no longer maintain his composure. He felt danger—extreme danger! If this continued, he would die! He wanted to crush a Shift Talisman. But right now, he was enveloped by Lu Changsheng's brain domain. Without shattering Lu Changsheng's brain domain, a Shift Talisman was completely useless. "Run!" Dao Lord Qingxuan's two companions hesitated not a moment, attempting to tear through Lu Changsheng's brain domain and flee, not even sparing a thought for Qingxuan. Unfortunately, it was already too late. Earlier, Lu Changsheng's brain domain had already expanded to cover the entire Taicang Sacred Ground. With a thought, Lesser Five Elements Annihilation swept forward instantly, submerging both top Foundation Establishment Dao Lords. "Ahhh!" "No—" "Dao Lord Qingxuan, save me—" Though the two top Foundation Establishment Dao Lords possessed many magic treasures, under the Lesser Five Elements Annihilation divine technique, they were utterly useless. The moment they were submerged by the technique, their life auras vanished completely. Dead! Two top Foundation Establishment Dao Lords had perished just like that, before Dao Lord Qingxuan could even attempt to rescue them. Dao Lord Qingxuan drew a deep breath. At this moment, he acted without hesitation. "Retrieve." He recalled the Lightning Light Pagoda, knowing it could not harm Lu Changsheng. In his hand, three beads appeared. "Thunder Yang Beads! Detonate!" The three Thunder Yang Beads exploded simultaneously. For a single instant, the explosive force nearly reached the absolute limit of what a Foundation Establishment Dao Lord could withstand or channel—though only for that brief flash. Such one-time-use treasures were extraordinarily precious, true life-saving trump cards. Lu Changsheng's brain domain was blasted open. In that split second, Dao Lord Qingxuan's figure vanished, having charged clear out of Lu Changsheng's brain domain. "Lu Changsheng, I have lost this battle," Dao Lord Qingxuan said, having retreated far into the distance. "Can you tell me what divine technique this is?" Lu Changsheng looked at the distant Dao Lord Qingxuan. Knowing the man possessed Thunder Yang Beads, slaying him in an instant was impossible. Thus, Lu Changsheng replied calmly and faintly, "This is the Lesser Five Elements Annihilation divine technique, created by Lu himself!" "A self-created divine technique..." Dao Lord Qingxuan's expression grew conflicted upon hearing this. Who could have imagined that a divine technique of such terrifying power had been created by Lu Changsheng? Just how monstrous must Lu Changsheng's comprehension be? "I heard that back when you were in the Divine Treasury realm, you suppressed an entire generation of immortal and martial paths alike," Dao Lord Qingxuan said. "Now I see it was not just the Divine Treasury realm—even in the Dao Foundation realm, you can suppress an entire generation of immortal and martial cultivators! "This Dao Lord is thoroughly convinced and willingly concedes defeat... This secret realm is yours. I am returning to my sect..." Dao Lord Qingxuan knew when to let go. He actually left immediately—not just retreating, but leaving the secret realm altogether to return directly to his immortal sect. Seeing this scene, Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian looked at each other in sheer disbelief. What was this? One battle had thoroughly subjugated Dao Lord Qingxuan? That was one of the absolute pinnacle experts in the third layer of the Ancient Region! And now, he had been beaten into complete submission by Lu Changsheng, ceding the entire secret realm to him. Just what kind of terrifying monster had they invited? Only now did Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian seem to realize that they actually knew nothing of Lu Changsheng's true strength!
