In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 132 Three Lifetimes: The Illusory Image of Buddha, and the Terrified Corpse Immortal Cult Members!
"Squeak!"

As the gates of Lingxu Cave Heaven slowly opened.

This long-sealed, mysterious world has finally been revealed to the world!

The rich primordial energy of heaven and earth condensed into mist, which seeped out into the outside world through the crack in the door.

The martial artists present felt their blood and energy become much more active after just one breath!
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, mythical beasts and exotic birds roam the forests and mountains.

One of the Vermilion Birds stood on golden flames, its entire body shimmering with divine light, and not a single stray hair on its body!
Deep within the clouds and mist, a dragon looms, seemingly breathing in and out the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

That dragon had a horn on its forehead, five claws on its belly, and a body that was hundreds of feet long. With each breath, it could summon the power of wind and thunder that filled the sky!
In particular, each of its dragon scales is shiny and glossy, with complex patterns covering the surface, resembling pieces of indestructible divine gold.

Even a seventh-grade Xuan Dan expert might not be able to break through its defenses!

"This dragon is highly skilled; it's probably not far from transforming into a true dragon, is it?"

"As expected of the land where the Human Emperor inherited his legacy, it is indeed rich and powerful, with rare birds and beasts everywhere!"

At this moment, not only the human martial artists, but even Lin Xuan Daozi and the others stared wide-eyed.

"That Vermilion Bird is an ancient and exotic bird. If I can devour its flesh and blood, I will surely be able to condense a top-grade innate divine soul!"

The little peacock king stared intently at the Vermilion Bird, his heart filled with greed and desire.

But a hint of fervor flashed in the cold, indifferent eyes of the Demon God's successor.

Lingxu Cave Heaven is the residence of the Human Emperor, and it has not been opened for hundreds of years.

It is filled with rare and precious materials. Spiritual herbs that are hard to find in the outside world are as common as cabbages in the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven.

"If I could obtain that divine sword, I would be invincible in this world!"

The successor of the Demon God stood with his hands behind his back, determined to obtain the throne of the Human Emperor.

"Everyone, the Lingxu Cave Heaven has opened, so I will go ahead first."

Before he finished speaking, he steered the bronze warship, transforming into a streak of light, and instantly rushed towards the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven.

at the same time.

All the Divine Sea Martial Cultivators on the warship activated secret techniques, sealing their cultivation and divine souls, causing their strength to drop to the Innate Realm.

After all, the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven is protected by laws, and the Prison Lord and the Demon God Palace have also reached an agreement.

Only martial artists at or below the Innate Realm are qualified to enter.

If these powerful beings from the Divine Sea Realm wish to set foot in the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven, the only way is to lower their strength.

Under the spotlight.

The bronze warship passed through the gate unharmed and successfully entered the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven!
"Lingxu Cave Heaven is the ancestral home of our human race, how can it fall into the hands of foreign races?"

Not wanting to be outdone, the old woman Xuandan immediately pulled on the reins and drove the carriage deep into the Spirit Ruins Cave.

As for other human martial artists and demons, they also rushed into that portal, fearing they would fall behind the others.

But it was soon discovered.

At the entrance to the Lingxu Cave Heaven, there seemed to be an invisible barrier blocking everyone's way.

All those who are not strong enough will be kept out and unable to take a single step inside!

Only those who have reached the fourth rank of Transcendent Realm or the fifth rank of Innate Realm can pass this test.

"Is this the second test for the succession of the Human Emperor?"

Lu Yuan seemed to understand something.

If the battles before the trial began had already eliminated most of the weaker participants, then...

This barrier then serves as a further filter to identify martial arts practitioners who meet the criteria.

After all, although the Human Emperor has declined, he is still the supreme ruler of the human race.

If you don't even have the strength of a fourth-grade Transcendent Realm cultivator, what qualifications do you have to compete for the position of Human Emperor?

They saw that an advance team had already entered the Lingxu Cave Heaven and was not in any danger.

Lu Yuan then activated the Dragon Soaring Body Technique, transforming into a golden light and breaking through the barrier in the blink of an eye.

However, as soon as he stepped into the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven, the Crimson Nether Old Ghost led several Corpse Immortal Sect experts to surround him, clearly having been waiting there for a long time.

"Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still venturing into the tiger's den, this fellow Daoist is far too young and impetuous."

The other martial artists nearby shook their heads upon seeing this, believing that Lu Yuan's actions were extremely unwise.

The Corpse Immortal Sect is vengeful and vindictive. If it weren't for the appearance of geniuses like the successor of the Demon God, Lu Yuan would probably have been killed on the spot by the Crimson Nether Old Ghost.

With the opening of the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven, the many powerful figures of the Corpse Immortal Sect had no time to attend to him.

He could have taken this opportunity to give up entering the Spirit Ruins Cave and escape the clutches of the Corpse Immortal Sect.

Although he would miss out on the Human Emperor's succession, it's better than losing his life.

But who knew that Lu Yuan not only didn't run away, but actually dared to step into the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven? Wasn't he just courting death?

"You little bastard, how dare you insult the Holy Son of my sect! You deserve to die!"

The old ghost of the Crimson Netherworld stared at Lu Yuan with venomous eyes, as if he had seen his father's killer.

If it weren't for Lu Yuan, how could he have offended Princess Lingyao, and how could he have been ordered by the Corpse Immortal Saint to stay here?

You should know that Lingxu Cave Heaven is full of opportunities and adventures.

The thought that he might miss his chance to rise to the top because of Lu Yuan made Old Ghost Chi Ming even more resentful, wishing he could devour Lu Yuan alive!
"Noisy!"

Lu Yuan didn't even look, and swung his sword.

A highly refined crimson blade of light instantly traversed the sky, slashing down at the Crimson Nether Old Ghost.

Thunder Prison Divine Blade Third Form: Burying the Moon!
Since Lu Yuan upgraded the Wind and Thunder Blade Technique to the Heaven Rank, the power of this martial art has increased more than tenfold.

This strike was incredibly powerful, approaching the divine abilities of a martial artist at the Divine Sea realm.

If the Crimson Nether Old Ghost were at his peak strength, Lu Yuan would naturally not dare to confront him head-on.

However, the Crimson Nether Old Ghost was first severely injured by the Xuan Dan Old Woman beside Princess Ling Yao, and later, in order to enter the Lingxu Cave Heaven, he had to seal his cultivation, which reduced his strength by about 60%.

When he loses his advantage in cultivation level and is at the same level as Lu Yuan at the fifth rank of Xiantian, how can he still be Lu Yuan's opponent?

Faced with this strike, the Crimson Nether Old Ghost was filled with shock and rage, and a rare glint of fear flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought Lu Yuan was just an easy target, but who knew he was actually a real dragon that had been lying dormant for a long time!

At the critical moment of life and death.

The Crimson Nether Old Ghost was in a panic, trying to break the seal on his soul and unleash his full power.

But Lu Yuan's strike was incredibly fast, giving him absolutely no time or chance to react!
"laugh!"

The crimson blade light was incredibly fierce, slicing across the body of the Crimson Nether Old Ghost.

A thin line of blood immediately appeared between his eyebrows, then quickly spread to his abdomen, splitting him in two vertically!
Scalding blood gushed from the wound, splattering the faces of the other Corpse Immortal Cult members.

[You have slain a deeply sinful person and gained 200,000 Heaven-Mending Points!]

Hearing the notification sound, Lu Yuan was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, even though this old ghost's strength had dropped to the Innate Realm, he could still contribute so many Heaven-Mending Points. Afterwards, Lu Yuan activated the Soul Refining Pearl and extracted a semi-transparent Innate Divine Soul from the other party's corpse.

It is different from innate martial arts practitioners.

The innate divine soul of a powerful being in the Divine Sea realm is extremely solid. At first glance, it looks like a lifelike three-inch-tall figure, radiating a powerful aura!

The innate divine soul struggled left and right, trying to escape from Lu Yuan's grasp, but the Soul Refining Pearl was a heavenly treasure, the nemesis of all souls and spirits.

Let alone a mere sixth-grade Divine Sea Martial Cultivator, even a seventh-grade Profound Core expert might not be able to contend with the Soul Refining Pearl!
"The Crimson Netherworld Old Ghost is dead? He didn't even preserve his soul?"

The powerful beings of the Divine Sea Realm were horrified to see the corpse lying on the ground.

It was only at this point that they finally realized it.

Since entering the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven, they are no longer the high and mighty law enforcement elders they once were in the outside world.

Instead, they are on the same starting line as all innate martial arts practitioners, and could be killed by others at any time!
As for the other martial artists nearby, their expressions changed drastically, and they all stared at Lu Yuan in disbelief.

Chi Ming Lao Gui was, after all, a renowned expert of the Corpse Immortal Sect. Although he sealed his cultivation and his strength had fallen to the fifth-grade innate realm, he was still far beyond the reach of ordinary martial artists.

They originally thought Lu Yuan was doomed to die this time, but who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the Crimson Nether Old Ghost was killed by him?
Especially looking at Lu Yuan's method of devouring souls, it seems to be a demonic martial arts practitioner?

Just as everyone was dumbfounded.

Lu Yuan used the Dragon Soaring Body Technique, clenched his fist again, and threw a punch at the remaining Divine Sea Realm experts of the Corpse Immortal Sect!
The innate true energy surged and churned.

A majestic and solemn phantom of Buddha suddenly appeared behind him, and followed Lu Yuan in using the same move!

The phantom was so lifelike, it was as if a golden Arhat had personally appeared, and its whole body radiated a dazzling golden light, making people dare not look directly at it!

When this punch was thrown.

The sun and moon hung upside down, the void trembled, as if the entire world was shaking violently!

"This is the Heavenly Rank Fist Technique of the Great Buddha Temple, the Arhat Subduing Demon Fist?"

Everyone's pupils widened in shock, and they immediately recognized the origin of this boxing style.

As for the remaining few powerful members of the Corpse Immortal Sect, they were all terrified, feeling an unprecedented sense of life and death crisis!

Because the power of this punch exceeded the limit that a Xiantian cultivator could withstand, even the geniuses ranked lower on the Hidden Dragon Ranking did not dare to take it head-on!
An elder of the Corpse Immortal Sect panicked and broke the seal on the soul at all costs.

But just as he revealed the aura of the divine sea...

"Crack!"

A bolt of purple lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, instantly shattering the man's head and soul into dust!
"Damn it! The Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven is protected by laws, preventing me from using the power of my divine sea. If we were outside, I could crush this little beast with one hand!"

The remaining three elders of the Corpse Immortal Sect were extremely shocked and furious, feeling a sense of sorrow, like a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs.

But faced with Lu Yuan's punch, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and take it head-on.

However, Lu Yuan possessed an innate Dao body, and with every gesture, he could harmonize with the natural Dao, causing his moves to become incredibly powerful.

Moreover, Heaven-rank martial arts are extremely domineering and unparalleled, how could ordinary innate martial artists resist them?

"boom!"

The moment the two collided, a fierce and powerful punch erupted instantly.

A blinding white light flashed, like a small sun rising!

The terrifying shockwave sent all the weak martial artists in the vicinity flying.

Countless dense cracks, like a spider web, spread outwards from Lu Yuan in all directions.

The ground within a radius of a thousand feet has sunk several feet!

When the smoke cleared and everyone could see the scene clearly, they couldn't help but gasp and feel a chill that went straight to their hearts!
Because the three elders of the Corpse Immortal Sect were bleeding from all seven orifices, they stood motionless and blankly in place.

Fine cracks appeared on their bodies, just like broken porcelain, before they exploded into a shower of blood!
The power of one punch is so terrifying!
Looking at Lu Yuan's rugged and fierce face, all the martial arts practitioners present felt their scalps tingle and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

It should be noted that although these elders of the Corpse Immortal Sect have sealed their souls, they still possess strength and resources that ordinary martial artists cannot match, enough to sweep through the entire Innate Realm.

With their talent and combat experience, they are comparable to the bottom-tier geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!
But the result?

In just a few breaths, these elders of the Corpse Immortal Sect were easily killed by Lu Yuan as if he were cutting melons and vegetables.

Moreover, judging from Lu Yuan's relaxed and casual appearance, he probably didn't even use his full strength!
Such terrifying combat power and talent could probably only be achieved by the top ten geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!
"A person with such amazing talent is definitely not an unknown individual. Who could this be a reclusive genius from a great sect?"

"The fist technique he uses is a secret technique kept by the Great Buddha Temple. Could he also be a Buddhist disciple secretly trained by the Great Buddha Temple?"

"Impossible! The sword technique he just used seems to be from the same source as Lord Prison Lord's Thunder Prison Divine Blade. Could it be that he also has some connection with the Demon Suppression Division?"

"However, judging from his methods of refining other people's souls at will, he seems more like a demonic martial artist!"

Everyone stared at Lu Yuan, speculating wildly and wondering about the origins of this unfamiliar prodigy.

Moreover, they showed no sympathy for the tragic deaths of several elders of the Corpse Immortal Sect; instead, they clapped and praised them.

"Good kill!"

"The Corpse Immortal Cult is made up of humankind, yet their methods of harming their fellow human beings are more cruel than those of demons. Such scum of humanity should not live in this world!"

"From this day forward, the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking will include another peerless genius of our human race!"

Hear this.

Many human martial artists shuddered, and their gazes toward Lu Yuan held a new glimmer of hope and expectation.

Since the fall of the Great Ling Dynasty, human martial artists have long suffered oppression and humiliation from other races.

Those demons and evil spirits acted arrogantly and domineeringly, often feeding on humans.

Now, even the throne of the Human Emperor is about to fall into the hands of foreign races.

Therefore, many human martial artists harbored a burning desire for someone to step forward and lead humanity back to glory and strength!

However, some human martial artists are not so optimistic.

Although Lu Yuan has good talent, he is still somewhat inferior to the successor of the Demon God and the young master of the Ancient Demon.

Moreover, even Princess Lingyao, who was born with the True Phoenix Divine Body, was no match for the successor of the Demon God, let alone Lu Yuan.

Just as everyone was speculating about Lu Yuan's background.

Lu Yuan took out the Soul Refining Bead and absorbed the three semi-transparent innate divine souls into his internal space. Then he skillfully looted the corpse and cleaned up the spoils of war.

Do it all.

He used the Dragon Soaring Body Technique, transforming into a blur before quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

Watching Lu Yuan's departing figure.

Some of the powerful human martial artists hesitated for a long time before finally following quietly.

Their risk to enter the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven was solely for the purpose of obtaining rare and precious materials and some ancient cultivation techniques.

Lu Yuan possesses a large number of Heaven-Rank Treasures and Martial Techniques. If we could obtain these treasures and techniques, we would definitely become rich overnight!
However, they are also well aware of this.

Lu Yuan is incredibly strong, possessing strength comparable to the top ten geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

Therefore, they simply followed Lu Yuan from a distance, and would never make a move rashly until they were absolutely certain of their success.
