Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 160 Battle Sect Prodigies

"Two hundred and sixty million points, that's not bad."

Lu Ming said calmly, and then checked the system shop again.

[Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation (Simplified Mortal Version, extremely effective against those below the Dharma Aspect level), 50 million points]

[Bloodline Pill, 50 million points (A pill that allows one to trace their ancestral bloodline, understand their life trajectory, and discover their own potential. After taking it, there is a certain chance to activate the ancestral bloodline. Among the human race that has survived from ancient times to the present, who can guarantee that their ancestor was not once powerful?)]

Upon seeing these two items, Lu Ming raised an eyebrow.

The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation instantly attracted him, even though it was a mortal version and only worked on those below the Dharma Aspect Realm.

But it was just right for me to use, after setting up the formation on the Nuyun River.

What can the hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the King of Langya, plus the people of the Kaiyang Sect, do?

He wanted to see how many people would still be alive after this battle.

Then, they exchanged for Bloodline Pills.

He was quite interested in this elixir, which could stimulate his bloodline.

Then, he continued scrolling down.

There are even Bloodline Upgrade Pills, but you need to unlock higher-level shop privileges to redeem them.

Therefore, we can only wait.

He had consulted ancient books and learned that some of the great clans in the Immortal Realm placed great importance on bloodlines.

"Yunhe!"

Just after exchanging for the array diagram, Lu Ming's calm voice rang out.

Yun Tu, who was following beside him, naturally dared not be negligent and immediately walked over cautiously.

"My lord, what are your orders?" Yunhe had made significant contributions in the battle a few days ago.

They killed several Nascent Soul cultivators.

Now, they can be considered trustworthy.

Lu Ming glanced at him and then took out the array diagram. "Set up this array on the Nuyun River. These are the spirit stones you will need."

As he spoke, he handed the array diagram and a storage ring to Yunhe.

The entire "Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation" would require 200,000 spirit stones to set up.

However, Lu Ming believed it was worthwhile to keep all the disciples of the Kaiyang Sect here.

Either we don't fight, or we use this battle to intimidate all the sects and let everyone know how powerful the Marquis's Mansion is.

From now on, I will only hear the name of the Marquis of Zhige.

It will generate a deep-seated fear.

"As ordered!"

After glancing at the array diagram, Yunhe was immediately drawn to the array patterns within it.

One advantage of having a formation diagram is that users don't need to learn it; they can simply lay out the diagram and activate it using spirit stones.

It is extremely convenient.

After watching Yunhe retreat.

Without hesitation, Lu Ming swallowed the pill directly.

I want to see how effective this Bloodline Pill really is.

The next moment, he felt as if his blood was boiling and churning.

A stirring deep within my soul.

In his mind, a series of images appeared simultaneously. He saw people covered in animal skins running on the desolate and boundless plain. They moved quickly and were very strong. With each step they took, the ground trembled.

This caused the beasts to flee.

Their goal is a dragon-elephant.

The opponent's towering body was tens of thousands of feet tall, covered in blue scales, and had two enormous teeth that seemed capable of piercing the sky.

"Whoa!"

The humans chasing from behind ran faster and faster.

And their bodies are getting bigger.

"Boom!" Someone leaped high into the air and hurled a spear that streaked across the sky like a meteor, leaving a long trail of red flame.

Finally, it landed on the dragon-elephant's body.

"Ding!"

The spear pierced through the scales and tore through the flesh of the dragon and elephant.

Blood splatters.

The crowd seemed to become even more excited by this scene.

"Whoosh!" One spear after another pierced the air.

Each one, after leaving the palm, transformed into something a thousand feet long and landed on the dragon and elephant's body.

Blood holes appeared one after another.

The giant beast roared and howled incessantly.

But the pace has slowed down.

Clearly, too much blood was flowing down, and it was about to run out of energy.

"Roar!"

Just then, a human emerged from the sky, leaping onto the dragon-elephant's head, his spear raised high in his hand.

When the muscles in his body exert force, they gleam like steel.

"Swoosh!" The spear pierced through the dragon-elephant's head and fell from its chin.

"Boom!" The giant beast crashed down.

The ground was shaking.

"Xuanyuan!"

"Xuanyuan!"

The surrounding humans cheered.

Looking at the human figure on the giant beast, a look of admiration appeared on his face.

"Dig up the corpse!"

As the voice of the warrior who slew the dragon-elephant faded...

Lu Ming saw a group of somewhat thin and not very strong humans surrounding the dragon-elephant and beginning to cut through its muscles.

One of them walked a little slower.

"Bang!" He was kicked in the body by a soldier next to him.

"Lu Wu, you're the laziest of all. You're always the last one to dig up corpses, as if if you ran faster, the corpses would jump up and devour you. Today, your blood offerings are halved!" The voice was very stern, and there was disdain in his eyes.

He couldn't understand how the Xuanyuan clan, one of the strongest clans among humans, could have such a person.

Lu Wu, with his messy long hair, wasn't annoyed at all. He grinned and said, "I'll go right now, I'll go right now."

There was even a hint of flattery in his voice.

Then, images of Lu Wu began to flood Lu Ming's mind.

Thanks to their caution and thick skin, the other party was looked down upon by most of the Xuanyuan clan, but was not in great danger.

Many years later, after the ancient war, the Xuanyuan tribe became a renowned clan, absorbing countless forces. On the contrary, the number of its own people was drastically reduced after repeated wars, and countless brave warriors died in battle. After many more years, the Xuanyuan clan leader became the Human Emperor.

Lu Wu, being one of the few remaining elders of the Xuanyuan clan, was still granted a title despite not having made significant contributions and being looked down upon by the clan. This ensured his livelihood.

Countless years passed, and the Human Emperor retired after comprehending the Dao of Heaven. After several periods of disintegration, the human race finally became a scattered mess.

In recent years, many outstanding individuals have emerged, attempting to save the ever-collapsed human race.

They are revered by the world and are known as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Lu Wu, along with his family, barely managed to survive and expand their family. They finally gained a foothold outside the Immortal Realm and, relying on some treasures bestowed upon them by the Human Emperor, established a family that was neither too big nor too small.

Then, time passed.

Countless years have passed. On the edge of the Immortal Realm, a young woman, carrying an infant in her arms, is fleeing. Behind her, a man walks slowly.

Every step the other side takes is taken from a distance of over a hundred miles.

"Ziling, don't blame me. My family has arranged a marriage for me. She is the daughter of a steward of the Xuanhuang Immortal Sect. Although she has a bad temper and is ruthless, she is of noble status and can elevate my family to a higher level."

Moreover, she doesn't care that I had a child with you; as long as you kill me, I can marry her.

Please grant my request. This is not only my opportunity, but also the Lu family's. The family's journey to this point has been arduous.

The man's voice was very soft.

However, it instilled great terror in the woman.

“Lu Hui, this is your own son. I’ll take him with me. Let’s go far away, beyond the Immortal Realm, okay? We’re already at the border. Those people from the Xuanhuang Immortal Sect definitely won’t be able to find us.”

"Sigh, I didn't want to resort to violence, Ziling, why did you have to force me?" A hint of impatience flashed in the man's eyes.

The sharp sword in his palm was about to strike.

The woman running ahead, her eyes filled with despair, placed her hand on the child and shoved him forward violently.

All his magical power was poured into it.

The next moment, the infant in swaddling clothes was thrown out of the Immortal Realm and disappeared in a streak of light.

The man was about to give chase.

"Boom!" The woman charged at her opponent with all her might, and then self-destructed.

Only a wisp of a soul remained, its whereabouts unknown.

After the man withstood the massive impact, he looked at the dark outer space ahead and finally turned and left.

Without reaching a certain level of cultivation, venturing into the outer realms carries the risk of losing one's cultivation level.

He didn't dare to try.

As for the baby, it flew for an unknown amount of time before landing safely outside a village, thanks to the immense magical power infused by its mother before her death.

In the pitch-black night, a man wearing tattered leather armor, carrying a knife, was walking back.

"Wah wah!" The baby's cries attracted his attention. When he turned his head, he found a chubby baby not far away.

The man carefully picked it up.

Upon returning home, he looked at his wife and said, "I found a child. He has a jade pendant on him with the name Lu Ming written on it. I also have the surname Lu. This is a child that God has sent to us."

"Didn't you say you wanted to adopt a child? How about this one?"

The elderly couple were Lu Ming's parents.

At this point, he regained consciousness.

It turns out that I come from the Lu family of the Immortal Realm.

It turned out that his own biological father wanted to kill him and his mother in order to climb up the ranks of the Xuanhuang Immortal Sect.

Having experienced the awakening of his bloodline, he was completely drawn into it and felt the same way.

I clearly felt my mother's love, as well as my father's ruthlessness and heartlessness.

After learning the whole story, Lu Ming clenched his fists. Then, he felt a surge of bloodline power circulating within his body.

The strength has increased.

Although Lu Wu was at the bottom of the Xuanyuan clan, he was, after all, a survivor from ancient times.

Among humans, his bloodline wasn't top-tier, but it was still quite good.

"With the help of my bloodline power, it seems I can now rival a master at the peak of the Divine Refinement stage," Lu Ming muttered to himself.

His cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

However, with the support of various cultivation techniques, he was able to rival those in the early stages of the Spirit Refinement realm.

But now, the awakening of bloodlines.

This gave him the combat power to fight against those at the peak of the Divine Refinement stage.

There were still some gains.

By this time, it had gotten dark, and the sky was filled with twinkling stars.

Zhang Meng cautiously approached. When he saw Lu Ming cultivating, he and his men were on guard dozens of meters away, but they could still sense the powerful aura emanating from the other party.

"My lord, Yunhe says his formation is complete."

"Mm." Lu Ming nodded.

Then, he picked up the wine jar next to him and drank it in large gulps.

At this moment, he felt somewhat depressed.

After realizing that Lu Ming had no intention of speaking to him, Zhang Meng didn't dare to linger and carefully retreated to the side.

However, at the same time, on the edge of the Immortal Realm, two people in different places both raised their eyebrows.

One of them, seemingly on patrol, wore a long white robe and exuded an aura of ethereal elegance and nobility.

Her exquisitely beautiful and aloof face radiated a shimmering, ethereal glow under the moonlight.

It gives people a sense of holiness.

"It seems to be the bloodline of an ancient human race. Why would it be outside the Immortal Realm?"

After a moment of contemplation, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away from her, a man in a yellow robe also glanced at her and muttered to himself, "It seems to be a member of the family bloodline."

Then, after hesitating for a moment, he also entered the Seven Star Domain.

Clearly, both of them are quite powerful, and at the very least, they can withstand the pressure from the rules outside the Immortal Realm for a short period of time.

He emanated a thick, ethereal light.

Slowly push away the surrounding oppression.

A moment later, the figure of the woman in white appeared a few meters in front of Lu Ming.

When she looked at Lu Ming, a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

"The Mighty Bloodline is a bit of a pity. If it were the Blade Bloodline, it would be more interesting."

After the woman finished speaking, she prepared to leave.

It seemed that no one in the camp, including Lu Ming, noticed the other.

However, the woman then exclaimed in surprise.

His figure unconsciously revealed itself: "A five-pattern Earth Master, a three-pattern Celestial Master, he actually cultivates both Heaven and Earth."

Whether they are Celestial Masters or Earth Masters, they have been absent from the Immortal Realm for countless years.

Moreover, Lu Ming already had a solid foundation, which was enough to attract her attention.

"Who are you?"

Upon seeing the other person, Lu Ming felt as if his entire being had been seen through.

This feeling was something I had never experienced before.

"Fu Yao, the Celestial Patrol Officer of Taiqing Palace."

After speaking, the woman took out a jade talisman. "This talisman is called the Taiqing Talisman. You can bind it to me with your blood. After you open the domain wall and enter the Immortal Realm, I will guide you to the Taiqing Palace for cultivation."

"How does Taiqing Palace compare to Xuanhuang Immortal Sect?" Lu Ming asked after a moment's hesitation.

Fu Yao's cold face showed a hint of surprise, clearly not expecting Lu Ming to ask such a question. Then, as if she had thought of something, she said, "You went to participate in the Xuanhuang Immortal Sect's trial island."

It's just an old villain who survived from ancient times, and his sect is full of sycophants who collude with each other. How can it compare to a great sect of saints?

"I, the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace, am the number one even among all the saints," Fu Yao said proudly.

After scrutinizing Lu Ming for a moment, he said with interest, "If you have obtained the so-called Xuanhuang Token, you can discard it now. Of course, if you are reluctant to part with it, you can take it with you to the Immortal Realm and ask others to find out the difference between Taiqing Palace and Xuanhuang Immortal Sect."

Alternatively, you could look at some classical texts.

Although your Seven Star Domain is somewhat remote, there should still be records of the Taiqing Palace there.”

Lu Ming nodded without saying anything more, but he did not perform the blood oath ceremony. Instead, he prepared to hide the jade talisman in his storage ring.

“The jade talisman of Taiqing Palace is different from the Xuanhuang Token. Even if you bind it with blood, you can cancel it at your own will, as long as no one can find out after binding it, not even immortals. You can try it.”

After Fu Yao finished speaking, she looked at Lu Ming.

It was difficult for him to refuse, and he couldn't refuse someone as skilled as him.

Therefore, they had no choice but to take out the Taiqing Jade Talisman and drip blood onto it.

The next moment, I felt a refreshing energy enter my body.

It made him feel incredibly comfortable.

"The Taiqing Jade Talisman has the effect of refreshing the mind and can also increase the speed of absorbing spiritual energy. Wear it carefully, I'll be waiting for you in the Immortal Realm!" After Fu Yao's voice fell, her body disappeared from the spot.

It transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the Seven Star Domain.

Even with his cultivation level, he couldn't hold out for long at this point.

However, just after she left, she saw a figure approaching this place as well.

Upon spotting Fu Yao, the other party immediately froze on the spot.

"Greetings, Immortal!" The newcomer was none other than a member of the Lu family.

After discovering that someone in the Seven Star Domain had awakened their bloodline, he came to investigate, never expecting to encounter people from the Taiqing Palace.

Sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

"Do you know that there are rules in the Immortal Realm that forbid entering other realms? Now you have trespassed, which is a capital offense."

"Thump!" The man knelt down on the ground.

"Immortal, spare my life! I am from the Lu family of Xuan Yang Immortal Prefecture. My elder brother is a disciple of Elder Zhu Huo. Please spare my life for the sake of him and Ancestor Xuan Huang."

“Your ancestor has no face in front of me, and as for your master, he is not worthy of my respect.”

Fu Yao had lost the amiable demeanor she had shown when facing Lu Ming; her tone was now chillingly cold.

"Bang!" Then, the palm struck out.

The Lu family disciple died at her hands.

It was as easy as crushing an ant.

At this time, Lu Ming...

They were unaware of these things.

After the woman left, he fell into deep thought.

He chose to believe Fu Yao's words.

However, he did not discard the Xuanhuang Immortal Token.

It might come in handy in the future.

A night passed in the blink of an eye.

On the second day.

Lu Ming stood on the shore, gazing ahead.

Zhang Meng rushed over and said, "My lord, the Prince of Langya and the others have arrived."

When Lu Ming looked up, he indeed found it.

A fleet of ships sailed majestically toward the shore.

Above the fleet, there were dozens of figures, none other than disciples of the Kaiyang Sect.

Four Refining Gods, ten Transforming Gods, and nearly twenty Purple Mansions.

Such a lineup is undeniably strong.

The man at the head was wearing a long golden robe.

His face was cold and stern, and his skin had a metallic sheen.

As he flew past, a powerful aura emanated from him; it was none other than Jin Poyue.

Seeing this scene.

Lu Ming didn't waste any more words.

"Notify the army to intercept and annihilate the rebels!"

Upon receiving the order, Zhang Meng immediately began frantically waving the command flag.

The next moment, a change occurred on the Nuyun River.

Thick yellow smoke rose into the air.

Cover the river surface.

It was all gray and hazy, making it impossible to tell which way was which.

They had no idea where they were.

It seems like we've moved to a different space.

The Nuyun River on the ground has turned into a desert.

It was at this moment that the "Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation" was activated.

Then, the rebel army under the command of the King of Langya saw a large number of troops rushing towards their ships.

They can actually run on the water.

The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is so mysterious that only a sage could break it.

Although it is a simplified mortal formation, its power is still considerable.

One's own side can even ignore water and fire and enter the formation to kill, while the enemy is trapped inside and has to face the constraints of the formation, unable to unleash their full strength.

Even Jin Poyue, who was flying through the air, couldn't help but frown at such a scene.

But at this moment.

Lu Ming stood in mid-air and slowly appeared in the formation. With the power of his bloodline, he no longer needed the formation.

At this moment, they prepared for a direct confrontation with Jin Poyue.

His armor gleamed with a black, shimmering sheen.

The Dragon Sparrow Blade appeared in his palm, and a detached voice rang out at the same time.

"The Marquis of Zhige of Dayu is here. Jin Poyue, come out and fight!"
