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

"Roar!"

As the one-horned thunder lizard lay dying, it could only let out a roar of extreme resentment.

However, before it could make a sound, the entire corpse was covered by the cold air and instantly froze into an ice sculpture.

Its corpse was lifelike, still retaining its appearance in life; even the fear and despair before its death were frozen by the cold air and forever solidified on its face.

The power of a sword is so terrifying!
The combination of the "Sword Dao of Self-Slaying" and the sharpness of the Azure Frost Sword caused Lu Yuan's strength to instantly increase by more than 50%.

Even a Nirvana-reborn demon can be killed with a single sword strike!

Those outside the battlefield who witnessed this scene were so shocked that their scalps tingled and they were speechless for a long time.

Because they knew very well just how terrifying the power of this one-horned thunder lizard was.

Even with all of them joining forces, plus Luo Xin's life-saving talisman, they could only barely withstand the opponent's full-force attack.

But now this seemingly invincible Nirvana Demon was killed by Lu Yuan with a single sword strike, without even the slightest power to fight back!

"A sword cultivator at the Soul Palace Realm is actually this powerful?"

Laymen watch the spectacle, while industry professionals understand the intricacies.

As a fellow sword cultivator, Su Yun knew better than anyone else just how terrifying the power and skill of Lu Yuan's sword strike was.

It should be noted that although the Azure Frost Sword was a top-grade spiritual weapon, in her hands, it could only unleash two or three tenths of its power at most.

But Lu Yuan was different.

Lu Yuan's mastery of swordsmanship is almost unparalleled in her life. She can perfectly wield this Azure Frost Sword and unleash its full power, even 100% or 120%!
However, compared to the jubilant crowd, the remaining three Nirvana Demon Kings felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, instantly chilled from head to toe.

Having lived in the Spirit Void Cave for many years, they knew better than these human prodigies just how powerful that one-horned thunder lizard was.

This one-horned thunder lizard once accidentally ingested a certain thunder-type treasure, which not only allowed it to successfully enter the late stage of Nirvana, but also unexpectedly awakened a powerful bloodline supernatural ability.

For many years.

With this bloodline supernatural power, it has been tyrannizing and dominating the Lingxu Cave.

Even the Black Dragon, the king of ferocious beasts, had to give it some face.

Yet this incredibly powerful unicorn thunder lizard was killed in public by Lu Yuan.

Doesn't this mean that Lu Yuan's strength is even greater than that of many Nirvana Great Demons?
Think of this.

The three-headed Nirvana demon was so frightened that its soul almost left its body. It could no longer care about anything else and fled into the distance.

Because Lu Yuan's combat power is too terrifying, if they stay here, they will definitely die.

Unfortunately.

They are fast, but the land is even faster!
Moreover, the area within a ten-mile radius has already been covered by the chilling aura of the Azure Frost Sword, so where could they possibly escape to?
It didn't take long.

The three-headed Nirvana demon let out a mournful howl before Lu Yuan cleaved its skull in two with a single sword stroke, freezing it into an ice sculpture.

As for the remaining ferocious beasts, Lu Yuan showed no mercy, killing them all with a single sword strike, leaving no survivors.

Finish these.

Lu Yuan put most of the ferocious beast corpses into his Qiankun bag before returning to the group.

"We are very grateful to you, fellow Daoist, for saving our lives!"

Everyone looked tense and immediately bowed.

As the young prodigies of their respective factions, they have always been proud and arrogant, and they are unwilling to submit to anyone.

But at this moment, in front of Lu Yuan, they were all uneasy and dared not even breathe loudly.

After all, the person in front of him was an unparalleled powerhouse who single-handedly killed four Nirvana-level demons.

Their talent was not even worthy of carrying Lu Yuan's shoes!

Lu Yuan wasn't familiar with these people, so he simply nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Senior Sister Luo Xin, are you alright?"

Lu Yuan asked.

"I'm fine. Luckily, Junior Brother, you arrived in time. Otherwise, we would all have been devoured by the ferocious beast."

"A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' absence. Junior brother, you are truly amazing! You single-handedly killed four Nirvana-level demons!"

Despite her pale face, Luo Xin's beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement as she spoke.

"It's good that you're alright. This is a Spirit Nourishing Pill, which can help you quickly recover your strength, Senior Sister."

Lu Yuan flipped his hand and took out a bottle of pills, handing it to Luo Xin.

He then looked at Su Yun and handed her the Azure Frost Sword, saying, "Thank you for earlier. Here, take this sword back."

Although he could still kill those Nirvana Demons without this spirit sword, it would definitely take much more effort.

"I should be thanking Senior Brother Lu Yuan for saving my life."

“The Lingxu Cave is too dangerous. Since Senior Brother Lu Yuan is lacking a suitable weapon, it would be more appropriate to leave this sword to him.”

After hesitating for a moment, Su Yun handed the Qing Shuang sword to Lu Yuan.

This sword is a top-grade spiritual weapon, a peerless treasure that many sect prodigies would only dream of.

With only the second level of Soul Palace cultivation, wielding this sword would be like a child carrying gold in the marketplace, easily inviting disaster.

Moreover, the East Sea demon race, in alliance with the ferocious beast lineage, is now frantically slaughtering human prodigies. Su Yun herself is barely able to protect herself, so where would she find the strength to protect this sword?
"That's fine too."

Lu Yuan did not hesitate and put away the Azure Frost Sword directly.

This sword is quite powerful, capable of increasing his combat strength by more than 50%. If he had this sword in his hand, he could even roam freely in the Lingxu Cave.

"By the way, Senior Sister Luo Xin, what exactly happened? Why are these ferocious beasts attacking us so frantically?"

Seeing the group covered in wounds, Lu Yuan's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately asked about the important matter.

"We're not entirely sure of the specific reasons, but this matter should be related to the East Sea demon clan."

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's question, Luo Xin pondered for a moment and then told him all the information she knew.

"The ferocious beast lineage and the East Sea demon clan share the same origin, so it's not surprising that the two would join forces."

Lu Yuan said with a solemn expression.

According to Luo Xin.

The prodigy sent by the East Sea Demon Clan this time is named Yao Hong, but he only has the cultivation level of the Soul Palace Perfection and is not a threat.

The one that should truly be feared is the thousand-year-old black dragon that rules over the lineage of ferocious beasts.

This dragon has lived in the Lingxu Cave for over a thousand years, and its cultivation is unfathomable, far beyond the reach of these young human prodigies.

“I saw that black dragon make a move from a distance before. Its strength has reached the half-step Heavenly Fate Realm. Looking at the entire Lingxu Cave, I’m afraid only royal geniuses carrying heavy treasures can fight against it.”

Luo Xin said in a heavy tone.

What does it mean to be at the half-step Heavenly Fate Realm?
It should be noted that the Great Ancestor, known as the strongest in the royal family, has only just reached the half-step Heavenly Fate Realm.

Although these people have good talent, they have not cultivated for long enough, less than thirty years. How could they possibly be a match for this thousand-year-old black dragon?

"Half-step Heavenly Fate Realm?"

Upon hearing this news, Lu Yuan also fell silent.

Despite his extensive cultivation experience across lifetimes, this experience proved largely ineffective in the face of such a vast difference in strength.

After all, he is only at the peak of the Soul Palace realm, which is a whole major realm lower than that thousand-year-old black dragon.

"The transformation from the Soul Palace Realm to the Nirvana Realm is the ultimate metamorphosis from mortal to immortal. Is the gap between mortal and immortal so easy to bridge?" "This time, there are over a thousand human geniuses entering the Spirit Void Cave. Even if the ferocious beast lineage is strong, they may not be able to wipe them all out in a short time."

"Let's find a place to hide first, and then leave when the exit of the secret realm opens."

Lu Yuan shook his head, deciding to quit while he was ahead.

While the inheritance of destiny is desirable, one must also be destined to receive it.

With that thousand-year-old black dragon guarding the area, if they insist on going to the core region, it would be no different from courting death.

"Senior Sister Luo Xin, let's go."

After collecting most of the ferocious beast corpses, Lu Yuan decided to part ways with the others and leave the place with Luo Xin and Su Yun.

After all, he was a complete stranger to these geniuses. It was already quite an achievement that he was able to save their lives. How could he possibly stay in the team and become their free bodyguard?

Moreover, the more people there are, the more likely they are to become targets of ferocious beasts.

In contrast.

He only brought Luo Xin and the other person, which was undoubtedly much safer.

Moreover, Lu Yuan didn't go too far.

They even left these prodigies with several ferocious beast corpses so they could recover from their injuries more quickly, which was already more than enough.

Whether they survive or not depends entirely on their own fate.

"Brother Daoist, please wait!"

Seeing that Lu Yuan was about to abandon them, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

But Lu Yuan had no habit of playing the saint. He turned a deaf ear to everyone's desperate pleas and sped off ahead.

Luo Xin and Su Yun exchanged a glance and hurriedly followed.

The Lingxu Cave is now fraught with danger, with a large number of ferocious beasts hunting wildly. Staying by Lu Yuan's side is undoubtedly the safest option.

Just as Lu Yuan and Luo Xin were about to disappear from everyone's sight.

"Brother Lu Yuan, I know the location of the Dragon Transformation Pool!"

A man in blue suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Shh!"

Upon hearing this news, Lu Yuan paused, then turned back and instantly appeared in front of the man in blue.

"You should know the price of deceiving me."

Lu Yuan stared at the man in blue. Although his tone was calm, the murderous intent in his words sent a chill down the man's spine.

"Brother Lu Yuandao, rest assured, this news is absolutely true. I, Lin Hao, can guarantee it with my life."

The man in blue looked nervous and tried hard to control his trembling voice.

Because he knows it very well.

The young man before them, though seemingly harmless, was actually a man of his word and a veritable god of death.

"Take me there. If the news is true, I can guarantee your safe return to the outside world."

Lu Yuan carefully examined the man in blue, making sure his expression was genuine, before slowly speaking.

"Dragon Transformation Pool? I never expected such a treasure trove to appear in the world?"

Upon hearing this news, Luo Xin and Su Yun were both shocked, their pupils dilating in shock and their hearts filled with a storm of emotions.

As far as they know.

The Dragon Transformation Pool is an unparalleled treasure within the Lingxu Cave. It was built by the Lingxu Master himself at great expense to cultivate his direct disciples.

This treasure pool is protected by numerous formations, and it can continuously draw spiritual essence from the earth's veins deep underground, gradually condensing it into spiritual liquid.

It often takes hundreds of years to accumulate even a small pool of spiritual liquid.

It is called the Dragon Transformation Pool because these spiritual liquids have the power to cleanse the marrow and reshape a martial artist's aptitude and constitution.

It has the power to defy fate and transform one's entire being.

Its value is so precious that it cannot be measured in monetary terms.

Back then, the Great Li Ancestor accidentally stumbled into the Dragon Transformation Pool, which allowed him to soar to the heavens and become the strongest person in the Great Li.

If Lu Yuan could obtain these Dragon Transformation Elixir, he would surely be able to enter the Nirvana Realm in a short period of time.

His strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, reaching an unimaginable height!

"The Dragon Transformation Pool is protected by a spatial array and its location changes frequently. Even that thousand-year-old black dragon doesn't know its whereabouts. How did you find it?"

Luo Xin said with some doubt.

"There are too many people and too many eyes around here, let's go somewhere else."

Lu Yuan noticed the intense gazes directed at him and frowned.

"Brother Lu Yuandao, this is my younger sister, Lin Xuan. Could you please bring her along as well?"

The man in blue introduced a frail-looking girl to Lu Yuan, his tone tinged with pleading.

The girl's face was as pale as paper, like a frightened kitten. She huddled behind the man in blue, only daring to peek out half her head to look timidly at Lu Yuan and the others.

Lu Yuan glanced at the frail-looking girl, then his expression shifted slightly, his gaze showing some surprise.

With his experience, he could easily tell that although the girl was frail and sickly, her talent was terrifyingly strong.

He had only just come of age, yet he had already entered the late stage of the Soul Palace realm, and was even two or three years younger than Lu Yuan.

However, this woman seems to have some kind of congenital defect, resulting in a deficiency in her soul. Although she is a Soul Palace martial artist, her body is worse than that of an ordinary person.

"You want to use the Dragon Transformation Elixir to make up for her congenital defects?"

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, finally believing what Lin Hao had said before.

The Lingxu Cave was a place of near-death experiences, but Lin Hao risked his life to keep this girl by his side, which shows that he was very confident that he could cure her illness.

"Brother Dao's eyes are sharp; indeed, nothing can be hidden from you."

Lin Hao bowed respectfully, a bitter smile on his face.

"Alright, we shouldn't stay here any longer. We should go."

Lu Yuan stopped wasting words and immediately led Luo Xin and the others away from the place.

As everyone watched the direction they left in, their eyes flickered uncertainly, but in the end they dismissed their thoughts.

Speechless all the way.

Lu Yuan sped for hundreds of miles until he was sure no one had just boarded the train, then he stopped and turned to look at Lin Hao.

"Now you can say it."

"I'm sure Brother Lu Yuan can also see that Xuan'er has exceptional talent, even surpassing many royal prodigies."

"But she has a mental deficiency and has been frail and sickly since childhood. Now she only has a few years left to live."

Lin Hao did not hide anything and immediately told the whole story.

"Our Lin family searched through all the ancient books and folk remedies to help her cure her illness, but to no avail."

"Fortunately, hard work pays off, although we haven't found a way to help Xuan'er repair her soul."

"But by sheer chance, they unexpectedly obtained some information related to the Dragon Transformation Pool from a broken jade talisman!" (End of Chapter)
