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

Chapter 231: Ten Absolute Formations

As soon as they arrived outside the hall, the indifferent voice of the Palace Master of Shangqing rang out, "Is this news about your junior brother? How is he?"

The great calamity has now officially begun.

Even saints and powerful beings cannot predict events in the outside world.

Therefore, the only way to get the message was through his subordinates.

"Master, I sent some people to garrison near Donglin Prefecture. I just received news that my junior brother has conquered Donglin Prefecture and has now completely occupied it."

However, the Heavenly Court might send troops to suppress it.

Upon hearing the voice, the sage Shangqing raised an eyebrow.

"Lu Ming has given me a pleasant surprise, but the Heavenly Court's forces and those powers in Xingzhou are probably hard to resist. How about this, you take charge of coordinating things, since he has taken this step."

Lu Ming must receive the same treatment as everyone else, and be able to intervene if necessary if he is in danger.

"Yes, ma'am!" Qingxiao replied hastily.

A flicker of joy flashed in his eyes, then he retreated.

The master has ordered him to take action. Does this mean that Lu Ming's identity must be officially acknowledged in front of everyone?

Qingxiao thought to himself.

Then he left the main hall.

In the main hall of the Xuanhuang Sect, Lu Hui received news of Lu Mingdong's arrival at the capital.

His expression suddenly changed. "Useless! Are the celestial officials of the Heavenly Court really this useless? They couldn't even kill Lu Ming, and he even managed to seize Donglin Prefecture."

At the same time, he couldn't help but think of his adopted son, who now only knew how to ask him for supplies and go out to enjoy himself.

Compared to Lu Ming, they are nothing.

How wonderful it would be if the other person were my child with my wife.

Thinking of this, his gaze turned cold again.

No, I absolutely cannot let my wife know about this, otherwise my position in the Xuanhuang Sect will be in danger.

Thinking of this, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

A prefecture is not so easy to obtain.

Lu Ming's occupation of this place means he is destined to be embroiled in a bloodbath.

He didn't believe the other side could break through from within.

"Just wait and see. This prefecture is probably the end for him."

Lu Hui muttered to himself indifferently.

His face showed no expression whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming also entered the palace.

"Did something happen?"

he asked with some confusion.

Upon seeing him, City Lord Shiyu quickly stood up and said, "Emperor Yu, you must be prepared. The Heavenly Court has dispatched the Giant Spirit General, leading a million heavenly soldiers, to descend to the mortal realm and suppress you."

"Is that the Heavenly General who fought the Fighting Saint Emperor in the air last time?" Lu Ming asked, frowning.

He had witnessed the battle before, and the opponent's strength was indeed formidable.

City Lord Shiyu said, "It is him, but we made a mistake last time. The one he fought was not the Fighting Emperor, but a demon general under his command."

She smiled bitterly.

"So who won in the end?" Lu Ming asked, somewhat curious.

"This Giant Spirit General was similar to the demon generals under the Fighting Saint Emperor. They fought for several months without a clear winner. In the end, the Fighting Saint Emperor personally intervened and sent the Giant Spirit General flying with a single blow."

It is said that this incident caused him to lose face in the Immortal Realm, and he is currently in a bad mood. He will probably use ruthless methods when he descends to the mortal realm.

Emperor Yu would be better off being careful.

I've received word that he will definitely send troops within three months.

Lu Ming nodded. It seemed that the Giant Spirit General was just a gatekeeper in the Heavenly Court. If he could be stopped and had a powerful backer, then the Heavenly Court's hurdle would be cleared.

If we can't stop them, then it's a dead end.

After thinking about this, he pondered for a moment and then said, "I understand, thank you for letting me know."

"Your Majesty is too kind. You are now a powerful figure in Donglin Prefecture, and I still need your protection," Shi Yucheng said with a smile.

Her cheeks were glistening and slightly reflective.

Her voluptuous figure is simply perfect.

“Shiyu City has been kind to my Great Yu. As long as I am here, the city lord will be safe,” Lu Ming said calmly.

Just then, Yu Muyun walked over.

A look of worry appeared on her face. "Husband, I've heard that the Giant Spirit General is extremely powerful, and he has a million heavenly soldiers, which is no small number. Can we hold them off?"

The voice was tinged with worry.

At this moment, she couldn't help but reminisce about the days in the Big Dipper Domain. Although there was also war and chaos there, she always had a sense of direction. But now, facing the forces of these Immortal Domains...

There is no certainty at all.

After all, in her memory, the Heavenly Court was just a legend.

Now, however, they have become his enemies.

Lu Ming smiled and said.

"Don't worry. If this Giant Spirit God can rival the Fighting Saint Emperor, I might still be wary. But if it can only hold off the demon generals under his command, then there's nothing to worry about."

Seeing him say that, Yu Muyun couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lu Ming and said, "You can't be careless."

City Lord Shiyu also said, "Yes, the strength of the Giant Spirit God is quite good among Golden Immortals. The Fighting Saint Emperor is too heaven-defying. He is not inferior to the top disciples of Saints. There are only a few people in the world who can match him at the same level."

Emperor Yu must not be careless.

Listening to their nagging, Lu Ming could only nod and then asked, "Where are Xi Rou and the children?"

"It's in the Qifeng Palace."

"Since there are only three months left, I will not see them. I will go into seclusion in the Eastern Phoenix Palace. If anything happens, you can call me. After three months, I will see how strong the people of the Heavenly Court really are."

Nowadays, the strength of Lu Ming's men is constantly improving.

Perhaps a breakthrough can be achieved in three months.

Although he outwardly disregarded the Giant Spirit General, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

None of these heavenly generals are easy to mess with.

Moreover, City Lord Shiyu is right. The Fighting Saint Emperor can easily defeat that Giant Spirit General, but I may not be able to.

Therefore, it's best to be cautious.

After hearing his words, Yu Muyun and Shi Yu naturally didn't say anything more.

Nod immediately.

He walked towards the door to protect Lu Ming.

Meanwhile, the other party was sitting on the bed and swallowed the Enlightenment Pill.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ming felt that he had entered a mysterious space.

I completely relaxed.

At this moment, all the meridians in his body were filled with magical power.

The physical body begins to transform at this time.

At that moment, he realized a lot.

It seems to be able to see through the changes in heaven and earth.

Time flows on, and I don't know how much time has passed—perhaps several years, or perhaps just a moment.

When Lu Ming opened his eyes again.

It was night, but the entire palace and the courtyard outside were as bright as day.

The nine golden dragon phantoms behind him also lay dormant at this moment, returning to his body once again.

At this moment, Lu Ming felt an unprecedented power.

"Taiyi Xuanxian!" A single Enlightenment Golden Pill allowed him to reach the Taiyi Xuanxian realm.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

I might actually be able to rival the Golden Immortal.

Just then, Yu Muyun, who had heard the commotion, walked in.

These days, she and Li Xirou take turns keeping watch in the outer room.

Now that Lu Ming has finished his seclusion, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, the Heavenly Army is about to arrive.

If Lu Ming, the pillar of strength, doesn't wake up, something terrible is likely to happen. "How long have I been cultivating this time?"

"It's been more than three months. It's said that the Heavenly Court's forces have left the Heavenly Gate and are heading towards us."

Yu Muyun said with a worried expression.

This is no child's play; if we lose...

They are all rebels and will be taken to the Heavenly Court, where they will inevitably have to go through the execution platform.

The best outcome would be imprisonment in the imperial jail, with no hope of redemption.

I don't care about myself, as long as I stay by Lu Ming's side.

But her two children were still young, how could she bear to part with them?

"Where are the various armies?"

"The army and all the offerings have already gone to Linxian Pass, which is a checkpoint that the Heavenly Army must pass through."

Yu Muyun immediately replied.

Lu Ming nodded. "That's right, then I should go there too. I'll leave the affairs of the court to you for now. If something really happens to me, you and Xi Rou should take the child and go to Master."

Senior Sister Qingxiao has probably been watching this place closely; she won't just stand by and do nothing.

He knew in his heart that even if the Sage Taiqing didn't care about him, he wouldn't abandon the two children, who were the reincarnations of the essence of the sun and the moon.

In this age of great strife, even saints are extremely rare.

Listening to Lu Mingru's instructions, which sounded like he was giving his last wishes, Yu Muyun's eyes reddened, but she still nodded and said, "Don't worry, husband. If anything really happens to you..."

"I will come to be with you when the children grow up."

The voice rang out, carrying a hint of determination.

He then added, "Xi Rou should be here soon."

"I won't see her, so as not to upset her again. If we can win a great victory, there will be plenty of time."

After Lu Ming finished speaking, he walked out of the palace and transformed into a streak of light. When he reappeared, he was already outside the teleportation array.

After he stepped inside.

"Buzz!"

As a burst of intense energy erupted.

He has arrived at Linxian Pass.

This place was originally Linxian City, but because it was on the border, it was transformed into a checkpoint.

It is made entirely of bluestone and is engraved with talismans.

It's constantly pulsating now.

They knew the seriousness of the situation.

Almost all of the generals of the Great Xia Dynasty were present.

Even the Grand Clan Head, who had always been stationed in the capital, came.

He was dressed in a black python robe, his face solemn. His cultivation had now reached the Taiyi True Immortal realm.

However, this is not surprising.

If we're talking about who from the Great Yu Dynasty has spent the longest time in the secret realm, then it would undoubtedly be the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan.

Wu Han and the others were still at the Profound Immortal Realm, but they had all reached the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm.

It shouldn't be long before we can break through.

Lu Ming decided that after this battle, he would also exchange Enlightenment Pills for them to try.

Now, he must do everything he can to improve the strength of the Great Yu generals.

"How many Heavenly Immortal Realm experts does our Great Yu have reached now?" Lu Ming asked.

"Your Majesty, the number has now reached over 800,000, which is slightly less than the number of Heavenly Soldiers, but the gap is not large anymore," Wu Han hurriedly reported.

Lu Ming nodded and walked towards the city wall.

At this point, the celestial phenomena had changed.

Dark clouds, as black as ink, churned endlessly in the sky.

Then, an astonishing pressure permeated the entire city wall.

Gradually, people began to appear from the clouds.

It was none other than the Giant Spirit Heavenly General.

The aura of a Golden Immortal permeated the air.

Clad in golden armor and wielding a massive battle axe, his towering figure, several tens of meters tall, exuded immense pressure.

Behind him stood nearly ten celestial generals, each at the Taiyi Xuanxian realm, imposing and aloof.

Finally, there were a million heavenly soldiers.

Layers of dark clouds piled up.

Looking up, it's as if you're in a well.

Rows of strongmen stood in the air, beating war drums.

Others were waving banners.

The weapons flashed with a cold light.

As expected of the Heavenly Army, they are truly majestic and domineering.

At this moment, the giant spirit general with a full beard roared.

"You traitor, my Heavenly Army is here! Surrender at once!"

The sound rang out, like a thunderclap.

It causes eardrums to vibrate.

Lu Ming's expression remained unchanged.

He simply said, "There are so many rebels in the world, why pick on me? Is it because your Heavenly Court bullies the weak and fears the strong? Besides, in chaotic times, the strong naturally rule, isn't that what your Heavenly Court also follows?"

"The forces within Donglin Prefecture have been defeated by me, so this place naturally belongs to me. What is the meaning of your intervention?"

Lu Ming showed no respect to the Giant Spirit God.

Qingxiao, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but smile as he saw the scene.

He muttered to himself, "He does have some of the bearing of a disciple of the Shangqing Sect. But if he loses soon, he won't even have time to cry. I, his senior sister, will have to clean up his mess."

She smiled and pursed her lips.

Meanwhile, in the clouds on the other side, Fu Yao, who was passing by, peeked out and looked at the scene before her, then shook her head.

Lu Ming was too impulsive. Heavenly generals are not so easy to deal with.

Those who can defeat the opponent are mostly disciples of sages.

Among the rogue cultivators outside, the Giant Spirit General is the absolute pinnacle.

And just as she was thinking this in her heart.

At this point, the giant spirit was already impatient and swung its battle axe.

Staring at Lu Ming, he said, "Stop your nonsense, you ignorant fool! Today is your death day!"

while talking.

The war drums in the sky roared even louder.

Thunderclaps echoed across the drums as the army began its descent, with the Giant Spirit God bearing the brunt of the attack.

Seeing this, Lu Ming's eyes flickered.

Then he said, "Set up the Ten Deadly Formations!"

As he gave his orders.

Behind him, ten attendants stepped forward, each holding a precious pearl and radiating divine light.

"Heavenly Annihilation Formation, activate!" An astonishing light erupted from the Heavenly Annihilation Pearl, and the energies of Heaven, Earth, and Man rippled and transformed into countless pure energies, covering the area.

"Earth-Splitting Array, activate!" The Earth-Splitting Pearl shot into the sky, and volcanoes rose from the ground, with smoke and dust billowing up. The pearl floated and sank on top of them, mysterious and dazzling.

"Wind Howling Formation, activate!" The raging wind roars, piercing through heaven and earth, with gale-force winds within that seem capable of shattering everything.

At this moment, it felt like the end of the world.

Ten terrifying array formations completely enveloped the border.

Destructive energy is constantly being released.

Like a black hole, it seemed poised to devour everything.

The swooping heavenly soldiers rushed in before they could react.
