Chapter 293 The Finishing Blow Trio (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

"Cooperate with the Heavenly Ruins God Clan?!"

Upon hearing Yu Zhun's idea, Lu Wen and Helmod both looked astonished. "How is that possible?"

“The Heavenly Ruins God Clan is of the same race as the master of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace, and the disciples of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace regard us as enemies.” Helmod frowned deeply. “Under these circumstances, is it really possible that any member of the Heavenly Ruins God Clan would cooperate with us?”

"Maybe?" Yu Zhun smiled slightly. "I've heard a saying: there are no permanent friends, nor permanent enemies."

"Only eternal interests exist."

"If there are enough benefits to be had, even the Heavenly Ruins God Clan might form an alliance with us."

"How so?" Lu Wen raised an eyebrow.

"First of all, do you really think the Heavenly Ruins God Clan is in a good situation?" Yu Zhun looked around, his voice lowering slightly. "Although they can enter the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm, it seems that the master of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace did not have good intentions in bestowing the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm upon them."

"Those former enemies he sealed in the secret realm, if they have any chance of breaking free from the seal, the secret realm will descend."

“We are merely outsiders to the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm], while the Heavenly Ruins God Clan has become powerful entirely by relying on the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm].

"Therefore, they absolutely dare not let the sealed enemy emerge from the secret realm, and they will destroy the secret realm at all costs."

"In this way, it's more accurate to say that the Heavenly Ruins God Clan are the guards of this prison rather than the masters of this place."

Hearing this, Helmod and Reuven exchanged bewildered glances.

They really hadn't thought about it from that perspective.

“But they have no reason to cooperate with us, do they?” Helmod frowned. “Aren’t there those guys from the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace?”

“That’s right.” Yu Zhun nodded slightly. “The Tianxu Divine Clan is indeed cooperating with the disciples of the Tianxu Divine Palace.”

"On the one hand, the two come from the same source and are naturally closer. On the other hand, this is not the first time that the Tianxu Divine Clan has dealt with the disciples of the Tianxu Divine Palace. The disciples of the Divine Palace have also entered here before."

"Two factors will lead the Tianxu Divine Clan to be more inclined to cooperate with the disciples of the Tianxu Divine Palace."

“However, the Heavenly Ruins God Clan is not a unified entity.” Yu Zhun smiled. “I believe some people should have other ideas.”

"After all... no matter what, the disciples of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace must obey the will of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace Master, and currently, it seems that the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace Master is not very close to these of His kin."

"If I were a member of the Heavenly Ruins God Clan, I would have to consider whether or not to continue my deep bond with the master of the Heavenly Ruins God Palace."

"If we could achieve a certain degree of cooperation with the master of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace and other powerful figures, it might be more advantageous for them?"

"Other powerful figures?" Lu Wen couldn't help but curl his lip. "Could it be that we have powerful figures like the master of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace behind us?"

Yu Zhun smiled slightly but did not speak.

Helmod, standing to the side, took a deep breath at that moment. "No, we actually do."

"Although we are aware of our own situation, in the eyes of others, we are people from the God and Demon Palace."

"Behind us stands the Divine Demon Palace, and the master of the Divine Demon Palace whose strength is enough to rival that of the master of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace!"

"Huh?" Lu Wen was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but stroke his chin. "This works too?"

“Of course.” Yu Zhun smiled. “When we see disciples of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace, don’t we first think about the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace behind them? Others see us in a similar way.”

"So, we're not actually as lowly as we think." Yu Zhun paused slightly. "I've heard that Dong Tu is the most talented young disciple of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace, and was once personally summoned by the Palace Master, which he considered a great honor..."

As he finished speaking, both Luwen and Helmod's expressions changed simultaneously.

Each of them had seen the master of the God and Demon Palace who had transformed into God 1!

"Damn it!" Lu Wen couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Now that you mention it, I'm getting fired up again."

He used to feel inferior every time he saw Dongtu.

I will not do it again.

Have you ever met the master of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace?
It's alright, I've met the master of the God and Demon Palace before!

Lu Wen said that if he encounters Dongtu again, he will definitely go up and slap them twice to teach them what arrogance is!

"Alright, stop it." Yu Zhun couldn't help but slap him on the back of the head. "This kind of thing is just something to tell others."

“We need to know our own limitations. We know better than anyone else what the Palace of Gods and Demons is.”

“That’s right.” Helmod sighed. “Now that you mention it, I suddenly think that cooperating with the Celestial Ruins Clan isn’t such a bad idea after all.”

So, what choice do you have?

“Yes, the Canghuang Sect, one of the three major sects.” Yu Zhun smiled. “When we entered your secret realm before, we passed through their territory, and their attitude towards us… was almost entirely unfriendly.”

So I'm going to give it a try.

"I heard that this sect believes in the natural world and that everything should follow one's nature and be content with one's lot..." Yu Zhun chuckled.

"Followers indoctrinated with such doctrines might be quite interesting."

“I’ve determined our location.” Helmod picked up the map and glanced at it. “We’re not far from the Cult of the Yellow and Green.”

"If what you're saying is true, then shall we give it a try?"

"Okay." Yu Zhun nodded slightly.

The Water-Sky Boat, swollen by the wind, instantly transformed into a painted boat, carrying Yu Zhun and the other two towards the Canghuang Sect.

However, before they even arrived, halfway there, a loud roar instantly drew the attention of the three.

Suddenly, a dark hole appeared in the distant void, as if space itself had been shattered. A figure, covered in blood, stumbled out of it, looking utterly disheveled.

That is…

Upon seeing the other party clearly, the pupils of Yu Zhun and the other two contracted simultaneously.

"That looks like Dongtu?" Lu Wen asked uncertainly.

“No need to say ‘seems,’ it’s Dongtu.” Helmod’s voice was low. “Although we don’t know the reason, he was severely injured.”

“That’s no ordinary injury…” Yu Zhun clicked his tongue, his expression somewhat strange. “Even the stick broke.”

That was the natal weapon of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace system, a legendary indestructible existence, and now it's broken?

I wonder what this guy encountered before.

"Should we make a move?" Helmod asked in a low voice.

"Is there even a need to ask?" Lu Wen spoke first, slowly drawing a pair of long swords from behind his back, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

This time, he's really going to slap the other person twice across the face!
"Of course we'll take action," Yu Zhun chuckled.

He's no saint; this kind of opportunity to finish someone off is rare and precious, and he'd regret it for the rest of his life if he missed it.

"Come on, let's meet this old friend."
-
"Damn..."

Feeling the excruciating pain coursing through his body, Dongtu gritted his teeth and looked behind him with a hint of fear in his eyes.

On the other side of the void passage, a figure so thin that he was almost just a skeleton stood calmly, but in Dongtu's eyes, the other party was like a demon that had walked out of hell, making people tremble with fear.

In the hands of his opponent, all the methods he was so proud of were nothing more than child's play. He couldn't even last a breath before his opponent shattered all seven layers of life-saving runes.

Even his signature weapon was severely damaged in one blow. If he hadn't held onto his last trump card and forcibly opened a spatial passage to leave the secret realm, he probably would have perished there.

What made Dongtu even more desperate was that what he saw was far from the full strength of the enemy.

Because the seal on the other side has not yet been broken!
That was just a clone created by the opponent by gathering a little bit of power!

The passage quickly became blurry, and the other person's figure could no longer be seen. Only then did Dongtu finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He was severely injured at this moment and needed to find a place as soon as possible to re-form the seven layers of life-saving runes and reforge his natal weapon in order to bring himself back to his optimal state...

Upon seeing the three people who suddenly appeared before him, Dongtu's thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and his pupils contracted sharply.

"you…"

It's someone from the Gods and Demons Palace!
Not only Lu Wen, who escaped from his grasp twice, but also Yu Zhun, whom he longed for, and Helmod, whom he had fought before!

Dongtu's heart sank.

At any other time, encountering these three people would have been a pleasant surprise for Dongtu.

But now, his strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be, and he can't even use his natal weapon...

Thinking of this, Dongtu slowly straightened his back, a contemptuous smile appearing on his face. "You think that just because I've been severely injured, you can pose a threat to me?"

"Think about it carefully," he said in a low voice. "What kind of being could have inflicted such a severe blow on me?"

"Oh?" Yu Zhun crossed his arms and looked at Dong Tu. "I am indeed a little curious, who exactly beat you up like this?"

"Want to know?" Dongtu scoffed. "Then..."

"Pfft-"

A sharp sound of a blade piercing flesh suddenly rang out, and Dongtu's words came to an abrupt halt. He stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Yu Zhun, who had instantly struck and pierced his chest with a dagger.

“Dongtu, this isn’t the first time we’ve clashed.” Yu Zhun chuckled and patted Dongtu’s cheek. “If you were truly confident, you wouldn’t waste your breath talking to us, the ‘pawns of the God and Demon Palace’.”

"Hey! Dongtu, hang in there!" Lu Wen rushed forward anxiously. "Don't be in such a hurry to die, you still owe me two big slaps!"

Yu Zhun: "..."

Dongtu: "..."

He moved closer to Dongtu, rubbed his hands together, and was about to use both hands to vent his frustration, but he saw that Dongtu had already turned to ashes, and only a thick black mist surged into Yu Zhun's body.

"Grass!"

Lu Wen gave the black mist the middle finger and then unleashed another barrage of profanities.

"Alright, alright." Yu Zhun was both amused and exasperated, but his mood relaxed a bit.

Although it's unclear why Dongtu was so badly injured, the fact that this happened just as they were about to head to the Canghuang Sect is quite opportune.

After carefully collecting the wish-granting items left behind by Dongtu, Yu Zhun looked at Lu Wen and Helmod standing to the side.

"If we told the Canghuang Sect that we casually killed Dongtu, the strongest young disciple of the Tianxu Divine Palace, on our way here..."

"What do you think will happen?"
-
"call…"

Looking at the emaciated, skeletal figure ahead, Udyr's chest heaved violently, his eyes filled with a sense of solemnity.

Even knowing that the other party was just a projection, or even just a projection of a clone, the suffocating feeling still lingered.

After all, she had witnessed firsthand how the once invincible Dongtu was reduced to a defeated dog, fleeing in its death throes.

And all of this stemmed from a single drop of Yu's blood.

Thinking of this, Udir couldn't help but look at the boy beside him.

The other person's eyes were still somewhat vacant, in a very peculiar state.

"Long time no see, Yu."

A deep, hoarse voice rang out.

Udir was startled. The gaunt figure that had been in the distance just moments before had now silently appeared beside her.

However, the other person didn't look at her; their gaze was fixed on the boy next to Udir.

"I never expected that after all these years, I would still be grateful for your help in lifting the seal." The gaunt figure spoke calmly, "However, I'm afraid your little tricks will be discovered soon."

Almost as soon as He finished speaking, a golden ray of light fell from the sky and quickly enveloped the island.

"what!!!"

With screams echoing, golden flames rose, and Yu's eyes gradually shifted from their previous blankness and profundity to the innocence of a child.

The original divine qualities and the few memories he once possessed were being rapidly erased from him. When it all ended, he would become nothing more than a native who only knew how to worship a "great god".

Udir was deeply moved.

There is probably only one person who could pull off this feat.

Was the other person... watching the whole time?
If that's the case, then I...

Just as Udyr was still in a daze, two similar beams of light fell from the sky, one enveloping Udyr and the other heading towards the gaunt figure.

At that moment, a hand gently grasped Udyr's hand.

“Sister Udir…” Yu’s deep voice echoed slowly.

The gaunt figure let out a soft sigh, "Although I know it wasn't your intention, this is your last request."

As the words fell, the gaunt figure placed a hand on Udyr's shoulder. Although it was a projection, it seemed to transcend the barrier between reality and illusion, and that hand truly pressed down on Udyr.

Udir felt a weight on his shoulders, and then the scenery around him changed in an instant.

In an instant, she had entered a secret realm from that unknown world.

The radiance that should have fallen upon her reflected its true shape in this secret realm.

It was a massive golden sword, of unknown size, slashing down at her at a speed that Udyr could hardly comprehend.

Udir's pupils widened suddenly.

She vaguely saw an incomparably majestic figure sitting cross-legged on a throne in the sky, glancing down at this place. Just that was enough to cause her body to feel excruciating pain, as if it were about to shatter.

"Tianxu, we'll settle this score sooner or later."

The gaunt figure glanced deeply at the descending sword blade, then grabbed Udyr and vanished into the secret realm in the next instant.
-
Meanwhile, in another part of the unknown world.

With a blade of grass in his mouth and his arms crossed, Yu Zhu watched the countless indigenous people performing a strange ritual in front of him.

"This is the twenty-fourth sealed location discovered..."

"What would happen if we dealt with the indigenous people near these sealed areas at the same time?"

"This time, I'm going to do something big!"
