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

Chapter 203 The World is an Enemy
After entering the secret room, Lu Ming opened the system shop.

“132 billion,” he murmured to himself.

These are all the points you have now.

Ten years of war, aside from normal expenses, have only accumulated this much.

Then, I browsed the system store.

This time he will likely face a powerful being from the Immortal Realm, even though he has the Nine Cauldrons.

However, while it excels in defense, it falls short in offense.

Therefore, Lu Ming planned to exchange for several handy immortal artifacts and armor.

The clothes he is wearing now seem somewhat inconsistent with his cultivation level.

In the past, we didn't encounter any worthy opponents, but things are different now.

People from a fairyland, who knows what new and wonderful things they will bring?

[Fierce Spear, Top-Grade Immortal Weapon, 300 Billion Points (Size as you wish, unstoppable sharpness)]

[Eight Desolate Emperor Robe, Mid-grade Immortal Artifact, 30 Billion Yuan (Immune to all things; can withstand 80% of an attack from a Celestial Immortal, block 50% of an attack from a True Immortal, and reduce the attack of a Profound Immortal by 30% if the opponent does not possess an Immortal Artifact of the same level)]

[Black Dragon Chariot, Mid-grade Immortal Artifact, 30 billion points (When ridden, it can conjure nine evil dragons to pull the chariot, with a maximum speed comparable to a Xuan Immortal. It has a certain protective effect, and when attacking while standing on it, it increases attack power by 30%)]

Upon seeing these three immortal artifacts, Lu Ming did not hesitate and immediately exchanged them for them.

Although it cost 90 billion, Lu Ming didn't feel bad about it.

Having these would greatly benefit him by increasing his options.

Then, with a wave of his hand, three items appeared in front of him.

The Fierce Spear is two meters long and as thick as a child's arm. It is entirely black, but covered with fiery red, magma-like runes that are constantly flowing.

When placed in a sealed room, the surrounding temperature increases.

The Eight Desolations Imperial Robe is entirely black, embroidered with landscapes in gold thread, and lined with a black inner armor, also connected by gold thread.

Lu Ming didn't hesitate and immediately put on the clothes.

The next moment, his already tall figure exuded even more majesty and nobility.

Her long, black hair cascaded down her back.

His eyebrows were like swords pointing to the sky, and his eyes were like stars.

He truly has a beautiful appearance.

When his two wives see this, they will probably be secretly delighted.

Looking further, the black dragon chariot floated in the air, its entire body shimmering with bronze and dark colors. The chariot was engraved with ferocious dragon talismans, and it was five zhang long and three zhang high. Nine illusory images of evil dragons appeared in front of it, but they were very solid, and their scales were clearly visible.

His ferocious eyes flashed with bloodlust.

Three drops of blood flew out and landed on the three immortal artifacts.

Lu Ming felt a connection with the three treasures.

He stretched out his palm, and the chariot and spear shrank to the size of his palm, appearing in his hand and being placed directly into his storage ring.

Then, he put on the imperial robe and went out.

After purchasing the three immortal artifacts, I only had a little over 40 billion points left.

He planned to open up the Immortal Realm as soon as possible, because only in this way could his system be unsealed again.

Grant stronger permissions.

I was just browsing casually when I discovered that there are many hidden treasures in the next level of the system shop.

For example, the Heaven-Turning Seal, and the equipment of the Heavenly Soldiers.

There are also methods for refining the Golden Elixir, and so on.

What he coveted even more were those supernatural powers.

Each of these can serve as an absolute foundation to enhance strength.

So what if it's the Immortal Realm?

With such a foundation, it's not impossible for them to develop themselves.

Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.

Then, they walked outside.

"Boom!"

The door to the secret room was pushed open.

Lu Ming came out.

The female official in blue immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty!"

"How much longer until the people from the various sects arrive?"

"Your Majesty, we have received news that they will launch an attack on our Great Yu in a month. Their presence can be found in the northern, western, and eastern borders, and they are expected to launch the attack from all directions."

The Northern Frontier is home to the most sects; the Tian Shu Sect, Kai Yang Sect, and Tian Xuan Sect all have a presence here.

Lu Ming nodded.

He knew that most sects chose this place because it had just been conquered.

It is not completely stable yet.

However, what they did not know was that with the blessing of the Nine Cauldrons, the power of humanity could instantly spread to every territory of the Great Yu.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Notify all border generals to focus on defense and not to launch any offensives. Also, have Zhang Meng prepare that the Imperial Guard will accompany me to the northern frontier in three days."

This time, a celestial master has descended, so it's best for the border troops of Dayu not to launch an attack. As long as they hold the city and stay inside, the enemy will have no way to deal with them.

He planned to personally travel to the Northern Frontier to meet the experts of the Immortal Sect and see if they were truly invincible.

Now that his cultivation has greatly increased, he also wants to find a suitable person to test just how strong he really is.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The female official in blue carefully withdrew.

Lu Ming, on the other hand, headed towards the inner palace.

In the Donghuang Palace, Yu Muyun and Li Xirou were playing chess.

This is what the two girls like to do most when they have nothing to do.

However, when Lu Ming returned.

The chessboard had already flown away.

After much contemplation, Li Xirou finally found a reason to be free.

"Why did you sneak off so early in the morning, my husband?" she asked.

"Something happened on the frontier, and I have to go there. I'll leave in a couple of days."

Li Xirou's smile froze at that moment.

Lu Ming is about to go on another expedition.

Yu Muyun frowned. "Is it because of the major sects?"

Currently, the only threats to the Great Yu Dynasty that Lu Ming needs to deal with personally are the major sects.

"Yes, not only the major sects, but also the Immortal Realm experts. However, they were burned by the Red Dust Flame of my Great Yu and cannot enter yet. But we must deal with them as soon as possible, otherwise these people may try to cause trouble behind our backs."

Lu Ming said calmly.

A solemn expression appeared on his face.

Yu Muyun nodded.

Li Xirou, who was standing to the side, said, "I'll go pack my things!"

After saying that, he walked into the palace.

However, Lu Ming grabbed her arm and said, "There's nothing to pack. You can stay with me."

he smiled.

Then, his gaze swept over the two women, wondering how long this expedition would last.

Naturally, they didn't want to miss this last chance for intimacy.

He finished his sentence.

Li Xirou's face was flushed.

Even Yu Muyun, who is usually quite bold, was a little embarrassed.

However, considering that Lu Ming was about to leave.

They couldn't bear to refuse the other person.

For the next three days, Lu Ming indulged in a life of revelry every night.

He got to experience being a tyrannical ruler.

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

That morning, before dawn, Lu Ming walked out of the palace gate.

His imperial robes fluttered with each step he took.

He opened his palms as soon as he stepped out of the palace.

The dark, heavy carriage came into view.

He stood there, and the next moment he looked even more imposing.

His entire body was radiating an intense, oppressive aura.

Zhang Meng and his personal guards, their eyes filled with awe, stepped forward respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, all five thousand personal guards have been assembled."

"lets go!"

He said calmly. Then, the chariot soared into the air, accompanied by his five thousand soldiers.

Having reached their current level of cultivation, they naturally wouldn't travel there on foot.

Even setting aside Lu Ming, their cultivation at the Dharma Aspect Realm alone was enough to support them to advance by leaps and bounds in a day.

They traveled in silence for several days, until they stopped at a fortress.

This place is called West Wind Fortress.

It is the northernmost fortress of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The entire pass is very large, constructed entirely of massive bluestones.

Now, it has become Wu Han's base.

Because the city had just been captured, the walls were still covered with dried blood and marks from sword and axe blows.

The faint blood mist still hadn't completely dissipated.

Upon learning of Lu Ming's arrival, Wu Han and the other generals naturally dared not be negligent. They stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Lu Ming nodded, then waved for them to rise.

He continued, "You all know that the major sects are going to launch an attack on us, right? What are your thoughts? I heard that a Celestial Immortal expert will be descending this time."

He stood high on the carriage, looking down.

A half-smile appeared on his face.

"If they dare to come, my blade will show no mercy," Wu Han said resolutely.

Now, with his increased strength, his army has grown larger.

His imposing presence was even greater, and every move he made was like that of a fierce tiger.

Lu Ming's face showed satisfaction.

Then he said, "Send people to patrol carefully these two days to prevent the sect members from launching a sneak attack."

Although sect disciples are not as disciplined as court soldiers.

However, there are indeed many experts.

Who knows if some reckless person might come and launch a sneak attack, so it's best to be careful.

He had never witnessed the methods of a celestial being.

It's always good to be cautious.

"As ordered!"

Upon receiving the order, Wu Han responded and quickly withdrew.

And right now.

Meanwhile, the Tian Shu Sect's team was also on their way to Dayu.

It is extremely large.

It should be noted that each of the seven major sects controls a large number of affiliated forces.

Now, when they gather together, the army is boundless.

Moreover, their cultivation level was not weak, and no one dared to be careless in order to serve the disciples of the Immortal Realm sects.

Several sect leaders brought along not only their subordinate forces.

Even his elders and elite disciples were brought out.

They marched in a grand and imposing manner, as if afraid that their presence wouldn't be strong enough and would displease the disciples of the immortal sects.

It was less like a departure for war and more like a review.

The Sect Master of Tian Shu sat on a flying boat, and an elder cautiously stepped forward and spoke.

"Sect Master, I heard that all seven major sects have sent troops, and each one is bigger than the last. Do they really need so many people to fight against Great Yu? I feel that our affiliated forces alone are enough to deal with them."

This is the sect's fifth elder. He is usually straightforward, but his strength is considerable, and he has already been ranked on the Wind and Cloud Ranking.

A pair of iron fists can shatter mountains and rivers.

Therefore, although the Sect Master of Tian Shu thought the other party's question was a bit stupid, he still patiently said, "Doesn't it feel like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut? However, destroying the Great Yu and doing one's best are two different things."

Destroying the mere Great Yu is something any sect could do without personally intervening.

However, when helping disciples of the Immortal Realm, we must do our best and make a big splash, so that they might remember us.

He said calmly.

His gaze was fixed on the immortal sect disciple who sat in mid-air and moved forward.

Their ancestor in the Immortal Realm said that the other party had a significant background, as his father was an elder of a sect.

If Tian Shu Dao Zi goes to the Immortal Realm.

It's always good to have someone to look after you.

When I go to the Immortal Realm, I won't be completely alone.

After all, major sects like them might be very powerful in the Beidou Domain.

But if you go to the Immortal Realm, you might just be a nobody. If you can gain a foothold in a city, that would be quite good.

For example, several of the elders of their Tian Shu Sect established a gang in the immortal city closest to the Beidou Domain, which can be considered as having gained a foothold, but it was only barely enough to establish themselves.

Therefore, we can only proceed with caution.

If we can make a celestial being owe a favor this time, it would be well worth it.

The Fifth Elder nodded without saying a word.

Even though he was straightforward, he knew that this arrangement was not wrong.

After all, he also had hope of going to the Immortal Realm.

And not far away.

Tian Shu Dao Zi Bai Wu Xia, on the other hand, stood guard beside the young man in black, full of vigor and spirit.

Now, his cultivation has also reached the Tribulation Realm.

Moreover, it is at the fifth level of the Tribulation Realm.

They have absolute confidence in their own abilities.

After heading to the border of Dayu, he planned to challenge Lu Ming.

Make a good impression on this disciple of the immortal sect.

Thinking of this, a joyful expression appeared on his face, and he even quickened his pace.

Next, the members of the various sects, like long dragons, led their disciples and converged towards the Great Yu.

The Great Yu, which had just stabilized, felt as if the whole world was its enemy.

However, to be fair, they are indeed quite similar.

In a sense, the seven major sects can actually represent the entire world.

No one had high hopes for Dayu; they were like a small boat on the sea, always in danger of being capsized.

Besides other sects, there are also some top sects in the Beidou Domain that are also moving closer to the Great Yu. This is because some of the patriarchs of these sects have gone to the Immortal Realm. Normally, they may be inconspicuous and live in the lower and middle levels of the Immortal Realm.

But things are different now, because the awakening of the Beidou Domain has attracted the attention of nearby sects.

They were instructed to inform their disciples and grand-disciples to assist the disciples of the Immortal Realm.

After all, it is really difficult to quickly establish a power base.

And more importantly, it will put you at a disadvantage.

This led to the involvement of a large number of sects.

Ninety percent of the forces in the Beidou Domain are surrounding Dayu, which shows how powerful their influence is.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Standing on the fortress wall, Lu Ming looked at the sect army in front of him. Even though he had seen many large-scale battles over the years, he couldn't help but frown at this moment.

On the ground, there were disciples from various sects, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Their cultivation levels are all at the stage of Qi Refining to Golden Core.

The sky was also filled with people, so densely packed that it blotted out the sun.

The cultivation level is from Purple Mansion to Tribulation.

Each held a ritual implement.

Such a lineup, if it charged recklessly, would have had a real chance of disrupting the humanitarian forces on the border in the past.

Just then, a figure slowly walked out from the formation.

It was Tian Shu Dao Zi, dressed in white, with a Dharma image appearing beneath his feet.

Her long hair flowed freely as she said calmly, "Emperor Yu, we fought to a draw back then. More than ten years have passed. I wonder how much you've improved. Do you dare to come out and fight me today?"

"Buzz!" A sound rang out, and light burst forth behind him. A sword shadow ten thousand feet long, flashing with azure light, slowly rose from the ground.

This is also the source of his confidence to challenge Lu Ming.

He mastered the "Tian Shu Sword Manual," the strongest sword technique of the Tian Shu Sect.

As the sword energy rose up.

He sat down and roared.

Truly awe-inspiring.
