From Mortal Body to Immortality

“Fifth-Order powerhouse?”

Jiang He pondered for a moment.

“Perhaps so. It has been a long time since a Fifth-Order powerhouse descended upon our Apocalypse Star. I wonder what this Fifth-Order powerhouse wants to do on my Apocalypse Star.”

“Moreover, to be able to make the Guardian activate a mandatory gathering order, it must be someone from a great power, or perhaps someone with authority and influence within the Federation!”

Jiang He looked at the Fourth-Order Transcendents of Apocalypse Star who were still approaching Qiming City and sighed.

Lu Haochuan and Meihua, who were beside him, nodded in agreement.

“To suddenly summon so many Fourth-Order Transcendents, I'm afraid something big is about to happen on our Apocalypse Star. I only hope that the battles between Fifth-Order powerhouses don't affect us!”

Jiang He shook his head with a wry smile.

In Qiming City, he was a Fourth-Order Golden Body Martial Artist, afraid of no one, but in front of a Fifth-Order powerhouse, Jiang He seemed to be nothing.

In the current situation, whether it was Jiang He, Lu Haochuan, or Meihua, they all just wanted to get through this incident safely.

Soon, all the Fourth-Order powerhouses within Apocalypse Star gathered outside Qiming City.

There were as many as a thousand of them!

Whether it was the 108 Upper Star Cities or the Fourth-Order powerhouses from the surface cities of Apocalypse Star, they all gathered here.

For a time, the area outside Qiming City became exceptionally lively.

Everyone was discussing this mandatory gathering order and was even more curious about who the person who could make the Guardian issue a mandatory gathering order was.

Soon, in everyone's field of vision, three long rainbows slowly appeared.

“They're here!”

“Three people? Besides Lord Wu Shan, who could the other two be?”

As the three long rainbows entered everyone's field of vision, everyone became extremely interested in the other two individuals.

Soon, the three long rainbows appeared in front of everyone, and to everyone's shock, Lord Wu Shan, whom they spoke of, could only be ranked at the very back of the three.

He even seemed to be extremely respectful towards the two extremely young individuals in front of him.

“My Lords, all the Fourth-Order Transcendents of Apocalypse Star have gathered outside Qiming City, awaiting your command!”

In front of everyone on Apocalypse Star, Wu Shan respectfully bowed and spoke to Lu Sheng.

As soon as these words came out, it was no different from dropping a bomb in the hearts of all the Fourth-Order Transcendents of Apocalypse Star.

The bomb exploded, shaking everyone's minds.

The Guardian of Apocalypse Star actually called this young man "My Lord!"

What… what's going on?

Everyone was a little dumbfounded at this moment.

The three Fourth-Order powerhouses of Qiming City were even more completely stunned after clearly seeing Lu Sheng's appearance.

“Lu… Lu Sheng?”

Jiang He couldn't help but speak, his voice carrying a hint of hesitation.

Jiang He didn't expect that the person who could make Wu Shan treat him with such respect was actually Lu Sheng, who had walked out of Yucai High School ten years ago.

He also didn't expect that Lu Sheng had already become a Fifth-Order Immortal Realm Martial Artist!

Not only Jiang He, but Lu Haochuan's expression also changed drastically as he looked at Lu Sheng with an extremely complicated gaze.

Meihua was the same, and she quickly recalled many scenes of herself and Lu Sheng in the past. After realizing that she had indeed not offended Lu Sheng, Meihua breathed a sigh of relief.

Her gaze towards Lu Sheng was still complicated.

“That little guy who used to fight in the underground arena… has now become an existence that I can no longer reach.”

Meihua couldn't help but say in her heart.

Everyone had different expressions. Lu Sheng's gaze swept over everyone and then landed on Jiang He, and a smile appeared on his face.

“You….”

Jiang He was about to speak, but he heard Lu Sheng say.

“You will always be my principal!”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang He was filled with emotion and couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride on his face.

Seeing this, the surrounding people gradually recalled the identities of Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun, and for a time, their gazes towards Jiang He also carried a hint of envy.

Behind Lu Sheng, Wu Shan looked at this scene, his eyes rolled, and then he revealed a smile.

“Alright, enough nonsense.”

Lu Sheng shifted his gaze from Jiang He and looked at everyone indifferently.

“There are Godfiend causing trouble within Apocalypse Star. This time, I need everyone to help me force that Godfiend out from the mines of Apocalypse Star.”

“You don't need to pay the price of your lives, just do your best.”

“But if anyone is insincere…”

Lu Sheng paused and looked at everyone calmly.

Even if Lu Sheng didn't say it, everyone understood the meaning in Lu Sheng's words, and immediately cupped their hands towards Lu Sheng and said:

“We… obey!”

Not to mention Lu Sheng's bright future, just the fact that Lu Sheng was a Fifth-Order Transcendent was enough to make a group of Fourth-Order Transcendents not dare to be insincere.

After all…

The current Lu Sheng was a person whom even Wu Shan had to treat with respect!

“Now, Wu Shan will distribute the coordinates of the mines to you. What you have to do is to try your best to force that Godfiend into one of the mines, and the rest… leave it to me!”

Lu Sheng stated the mission, and then Wu Shan distributed the coordinates of each mine. After receiving the coordinates of the mines, everyone went to their respective mines.

Lu Sheng, Chen Moyun, and Wu Shan came to the front of one of the mines and waited.

About a dozen minutes later, a series of rumbling sounds suddenly came from the distance, and it was obvious that the Fourth-Order Transcendents of Apocalypse Star had taken action.

Chen Moyun looked at this scene and couldn't help but say with a smile: “This Godfiend is extremely cautious. Even if it has the battle strength of the Fifth-Order, it will still be alarmed by the Fourth-Order Transcendents. When the Fourth-Order Transcendents take action outside each mine, it will definitely flee in panic!”

“And when that time comes…”

Chen Moyun said, his gaze falling on the mine in front of him.

“This mine is the only place it can hide.”

Listening to Chen Moyun's words, Lu Sheng nodded, put his hands behind his back, stood outside the mine, and waited quietly.

Rumble!!

A series of rumbling sounds continued to explode, accompanied by the advancement of a powerful aura.

Soon, Lu Sheng was able to sense that deep in the mine in front of him, a powerful aura was rapidly moving.

A sharp look flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes.

“This Godfiend… is coming!”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Moyun and Wu Shan's expressions suddenly became solemn.

Although the Godfiend had lost its consciousness and become a monster with only instinct left, it still had Fifth-Order battle strength.

Chen Moyun himself only had the cultivation of the Late Fourth-Order. Although he also had the Giant God Soldier to amplify his battle strength, Wu Shan was an old and frail Fifth-Order Mechanicus, unable to exert his full battle strength.

When facing the Godfiend, they were more or less still a little afraid.

Roar roar roar!!

Suddenly, a low roar came from the mine, as if threatening the three people outside the mine.

Obviously, the three of Lu Sheng, who had not deliberately concealed their aura, were also discovered by this Godfiend.

The next moment…

Bang!!

The surroundings of the mine instantly exploded, and a mechanical monster instantly rushed out.

This mechanical monster no longer had any resemblance of a "person" on its body. Its entire body was completely assembled from machines, its eyes were scarlet, and it looked more like an Autobot from Transformers.

The Godfiend roared at the three of Lu Sheng in front of it, and then directly killed the three of Lu Sheng.

Being forced here by the aura of the Fourth-Order powerhouses, the Godfiend no longer hid and wanted to vent the anger in its heart in front of the three of Lu Sheng.

However…

In the instant that the Godfiend made its move, circles of black brilliance turned into ripples and suddenly spread out.

Domain of Life and Death!

Withering Profound Light!!

Instantly enveloped the surroundings of the Godfiend.

However, what made Lu Sheng slightly surprised was that the Domain of Life and Death, which had always been invincible, did not have much effect when dealing with this Godfiend in front of him.

“Is it because its entire body has been transformed into machinery? So the Domain of Life and Death, which extracts vitality, has no effect on this guy?”

Lu Sheng was slightly surprised in his heart.

“My Lord, be careful!”

Wu Shan suddenly reminded, but found that the Godfiend, bearing the Domain of Life and Death, instantly killed Lu Sheng.

His body emanated an extremely terrifying aura, and with a single punch, he attacked Lu Sheng, intending to kill him.

However—

Faced with the near-instinctive attack of the Abomination of God, Lu Sheng's face did not show the slightest ripple, and he just stood quietly in place.

The next moment—

A white mecha, a full hundred meters tall, quietly appeared behind Lu Sheng.

Radiance Illuminates All!

Lu Sheng didn't even enter Radiance Illuminates All. The Radiance Illuminates All behind him clenched its fist and smashed it towards the Abomination of God.

Bang!

The two fists collided, instantly erupting into an extremely terrifying energy ripple. The aura that spread out forced Chen Moyun and Wu Shan to take half a step back.

When the two raised their heads again to look at the battlefield ahead, they saw a scene that shocked them.

The Abomination of God, with its fifth-order combat power, had its mechanical creations shattered the instant it clashed with Radiance Illuminates All. One by one, the parts flew out instantly, scattering across the heavens and earth.

And then, it suddenly exploded!

Bang!

The Abomination of God's body shattered in an instant at this moment.

"This—"

Chen Moyun looked at this scene, unable to help but shrink his pupils slightly. He did not expect that the Abomination of God, also with fifth-order combat power, would be so vulnerable in front of Lu Sheng.

The eyes of Wu Shan on the side revealed a strong look of shock.

"This is—the seed of the Life School's genius?"

"The Abomination of God—was instantly killed!"

Wu Shan was a little dry-mouthed. As a fifth-order Mechanicus, he knew too well what kind of existence the Abomination of God with fifth-order combat power was, but such an existence was still directly killed by Lu Sheng.

For a time, Wu Shan's eyes towards Lu Sheng became more and more respectful.

As the Abomination of God's body shattered, Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly at this moment.

"This is—"

Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his body directly entered Radiance Illuminates All. Relying on the enhanced perception of Radiance Illuminates All, Lu Sheng could clearly feel that the moment the Abomination of God shattered, a chaotic will quietly diffused from the Abomination of God.

Even—when this chaotic will appeared, even driving Radiance Illuminates All, Lu Sheng felt a strong aura of danger.

It was as if, in the next moment, he would be directly erased by this chaotic will!

"What exactly—is this thing?"

For the first time, a look of horror appeared in Lu Sheng's heart.

However, just as Lu Sheng was horrified, Lu Sheng was able to discover that within Radiance Illuminates All, the imprint originally retaining Liu Yao's three powers.

At this moment, one of the imprints directly dissipated.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful life aura burst forth from Radiance Illuminates All, instantly enveloping that chaotic will.

Under the wrapping of the rich vitality, that chaotic will was actually forcibly dissolved at this moment.

Gradually, the vitality dissipated, and along with it, the chaotic will also dissipated in this world, as if it had never appeared.

"This is... the method left by Senior Sister is working."

Lu Sheng came back to his senses, but there was still a hint of horror in his eyes.

"That trace of chaotic will just now did not bring me such a strong sense of crisis even with Senior Brother Yang Zhenyun and Senior Brother Kong Linghui."

"But—it was instantly erased by the imprint left by Senior Sister."

"What level has Senior Sister's strength reached?"

Lu Sheng's heart was a little澎湃, and he couldn't help but recall when Senior Sister fought against Yang Zhenyun and the others.

Lu Sheng could vaguely feel that Senior Sister should have held back.

The scene in front of him now made Lu Sheng even more certain that Senior Sister was definitely hiding her strength!

Otherwise, just the scene just now was definitely not something that a sixth-order early-stage transcendent could easily solve.

"My Senior Sister—I'm afraid it's not as simple as sixth-order!"

Lu Sheng spoke softly, looking at the chaotic will that had already dissipated, and after pondering for a moment, he still walked out of Radiance Illuminates All and put Radiance Illuminates All into the Xuan Ring.

Chen Moyun and Wu Shan didn't notice anything about the scene just now. Even the life aura just now was regarded as being automatically emitted by Radiance Illuminates All.

As for the chaotic will, even Lu Sheng needed to rely on the amplification of Radiance Illuminates All's perception to be able to detect it, let alone them.

"The Abomination of God has been resolved!"

A smile appeared on Chen Moyun's face as he said to Lu Sheng.

"Lu Sheng, thank you!"

Solving the Abomination of God was originally Chen Moyun's task, but he didn't even do much, and Lu Sheng completely settled everything.

Lu Sheng waved his hand, not caring. At this moment, Lu Sheng's attention was entirely on the wisp of chaotic will just now.

"Fifth-order Abomination of God—how could such a powerful force appear? Could it be—"

Lu Sheng seemed to have thought of something, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

"Lord of Ascension!"

The Abomination of God itself is a product of the failed Ascension ritual, and the reason for the failure is because it cannot withstand the gaze from the Lord of Ascension, and even more cannot withstand the trace of chaotic will of the Lord of Ascension.

Obviously, the chaotic will that erupted after the death of the Abomination of God came from the Lord of Ascension.

"Lord of Ascension—Ascension Sect—"

Lu Sheng couldn't help but think.

As the Abomination of God was beheaded by Lu Sheng, Chen Moyun's task was naturally completed successfully, and Wu Shan also brought back the other fourth-order transcendents.

Originally, Wu Shan wanted to hold a good banquet for Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun, wanting to build a good relationship, but Lu Sheng refused.

Lu Sheng returned to Qiming City, and together with Jiang He, looked at the familiar city, the familiar streets, and the familiar school. Lu Sheng's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of恍惚.

"It's already—ten years!"

Lu Sheng spoke softly, but constantly looked around.

After a moment, Lu Sheng looked at Jiang He on the side and said softly: "So, Grandpa Li is still dead?"

Jiang He nodded.

On the way back to Qiming City, Jiang He also told Lu Sheng about the changes in Qiming City during this period.

Li Mo was naturally also mentioned.

It's just that Li Mo is ultimately only a first-order Qi Blood martial artist, with limited lifespan. In addition, ten years ago, Li Mo's lifespan was already close to its limit. It was only because he cultivated the Longevity Posture that Li Mo was able to maintain a relatively good state in the last few years.

But as time passed, Li Mo eventually died of old age.

Fortunately, after Lu Sheng left, with Jiang He's care, Li Mo's last period of time was considered to have lived a relatively comfortable life.

The last distance of his life was also spent peacefully, without any disturbances.

As for Jiang He and Gao Feng, there is no need to say. Jiang He is a fourth-order Golden Body martial artist, with a lot of lifespan left, and can be considered the local emperor in Qiming City.

And Gao Feng, because he educated Lu Sheng, was not conscripted and has been staying at Yucai High School, teaching one martial arts class after another.

Until now.

Afterwards, Lu Sheng and Jiang He went to see Gao Feng. Gao Feng was naturally happy about Lu Sheng's return, but after learning about Lu Sheng's current achievements, he was filled with emotion.

In the end, before leaving, Lu Sheng came to the familiar food stall and saw his former best friend.

Zhao Feng!

Now Zhao Feng is almost thirty years old. He married the daughter of the food stall owner and has now taken over the position of the food stall owner.

The two sat at the table of the food stall, with beer bottles piled up in front of them.

Zhao Feng drunkenly said: "Next time—when will you come back again?"

Lu Sheng looked calmly at Zhao Feng in front of him. The fifth-order transcendent cultivation base was here, and beer could not have any effect on Lu Sheng.

"Next time..."

Lu Sheng looked at Zhao Feng in front of him, and then raised his head to look at the starry sky above.

"Perhaps—not anymore?"

As the voice fell, Zhao Feng was ultimately unable to withstand the erosion of alcohol, and the whole person fell heavily on the table.
