Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years.

Chapter 298 The Untouchable Taboo in Lu Xuan's Heart! You're courting death!

After finding nothing amiss, Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with purple light, and his right hand swiftly reached out, his five fingers precisely gripping the hilt of the sword.

After Lu Xuan came into contact with this strange blade, a wisp of the Dharma of Heaven and Earth quickly entered the blade.

Eight lines of heaven and earth patterns are engraved inside this knife.

At the same time, information about the origin of this knife flooded into Lu Xuan's mind.

Eight-patterned moon weapon, nine-eyed demon fire blade!

Upon learning that the sword was an Eight-Patterned Moon Weapon, Lu Xuan looked at the system panel without hesitation.

Host: Lu Xuan

The power of the primordial essence of heaven and earth has been detected. Do you wish to extract it?
Error! Error! Error!

An unknown residual will (suspected to be the will of this world) has been detected. Would you like to consume 5 system points to erase it?

The next second, Lu Xuan's aura surged wildly.

His eyes widened, his pupils contracted sharply, and he stared intently at the red warning message flashing below the system panel.

"Damn it!"

Lu Xuan felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of dread slowly rising from his back.

The next second, Lu Xuan flipped his wrist, and the Nine-Eyed Demon Fire Blade in his hand transformed into a dark stream of light, instantly disappearing into the Void Realm.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xuan's terrifying divine consciousness, carrying a murderous aura, engulfed the entire ancient bronze palace like a raging river bursting its banks.

Then, Lu Xuan's all-pervasive divine sense began with the carvings on the dome of the ancient bronze palace.

Along the mottled wall, inch by inch downwards and upwards, repeatedly probing into every corner and every crevice, leaving no stone unturned.

Under the shroud of Lu Xuan's divine consciousness, the ancient bronze hall exuded an indescribable deathly stillness, with only the flickering candlelight seemingly telling a mysterious tale.

What on earth is this?
The remnant of the world's will?
Lu Xuan's brows furrowed into a tight knot!

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's eyes sharpened.

wrong!

Maybe someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes!
Who on earth dares to plot against me!

Lu Xuan felt a surge of killing intent in his chest, like a volcano about to erupt, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

The next moment, the entire bronze hall shook violently, the bronze lamps on the ceiling swayed precariously, and the lights flickered on and off.

Under Lu Xuan's terrifying pressure, the surrounding bronze city walls began to creak under the strain.

Immediately afterwards, cracks spread at a visible speed, and the roar of falling bricks and stones was deafening.

As Lu Xuan's anger intensified, cracks rapidly snaked upwards from the corners of the bronze palace amidst creaking sounds.

Bricks and stones collapsed one after another, and the dust and mist they stirred up instantly filled the hall.

"Humph!"

This was the first time Lu Xuan had encountered such a situation, and he took one last look around.

As Lu Xuan's thoughts stirred, the mysterious white halo reappeared.

This time, Lu Xuan did not resist, allowing the teleportation power to envelop his entire body.

The moment Lu Xuan's figure disappeared, the entire bronze ancient palace emitted a deafening wail.

Almost at the same moment, the supporting structure of the bronze temple creaked under the strain.

Without warning, the roof collapsed with a deafening roar, and huge stones rained down like raindrops.

On the red desert, a huge bronze ancient palace stands, its surface covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

Finally, it collapsed completely with a deafening roar, and billowing hot sand swept past.

In the blink of an eye, this enormous bronze palace was buried without a trace.

"Has it been discovered?"

At that moment, a hoarse voice shattered the silence of the desert.

"True Lords of the Void under the age of thirty!"

"What have I seen?"

"Does such an unparalleled genius truly exist in the outside world?"

The aged voice followed, its tone suppressing an indescribable excitement.

"I have waited a full 139,900 years. Finally, this day has arrived!"

"Jie Jie Jie!"

A moment later, maniacal laughter echoed between heaven and earth, shaking the yellow sand that swirled up and causing the crumbling walls of the ancient bronze palace to rustle.

The laughter contained a loneliness accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, distorting the space within a hundred miles.

The next second, amidst the churning, dusty sky, a dazzling white light quietly condensed.

At first it was as dim as a firefly, then it gradually became as bright as the moonlight.

Finally, the mysterious white light transformed into an old man in white robes.

The old man's deeply lined face seemed to bear the weight of countless ages, and his deep white pupils reflected the rotation of stars and the changing of the universe.

"Excellent!"

After three consecutive "wonderful" exclamations, the old man in mid-air gently stroked his long, white beard with his withered fingers, his voice revealing an undisguised greed.

"This child not only possesses unparalleled martial arts talent, but he can also sense the world power left behind by his true self while at the Void Realm."

"It seems he possesses a supernatural ability of perception!"

"Last time, that girl had a magical artifact protecting her, which caused my efforts to fail."

"She also took half of the original body's world origin power."

"However, little did they know that a mere ant at the Void Realm could not so easily refine the power of my true self."

"When the time comes, I will show these ants what true power is!"

At this point, the old man's eyes flashed with white light, and the space around him began to crumble.

"However, it seems the plan has changed now."

"Those ants are no match for this junior. They are not worth my time."

"This child's innate talent and aptitude are actually much stronger than mine back then."

"This time, even if it burns out all the power of this world, I will claim this body for myself!"

"The Heavenly Origin Dao Immortal is only missing this perfect physical body to take that final step!"

"With this body, which is one in a million, plus the memories of the original owner."

"Achieving the realm of immortals is no longer a distant fantasy!"

The white-robed old man gazed into the distance, his white pupils reflecting the figure of Lu Xuan.

Ten thousand miles away, a white light flashed, and Lu Xuan slowly walked out.

Before the white light from the transmission had completely dissipated, Lu Xuan felt a bone-chilling cold rush towards him.

He glanced around casually and then realized that the surrounding scenery had undergone a complete transformation.

One moment it was a desert under the blazing sun, the next it was a dark and dense forest.

The branches of the towering ancient trees twisted into bizarre shapes, outlining a ferocious and eerie silhouette against the starless and moonless night sky.

Even more bizarrely, distorted and terrifying human faces vaguely emerge from the texture of these trees, gently writhing with each breath.

"Yin energy, such a strong yin energy!"

"Pure to the extreme!"

Lu Xuan stared at the scene before him, his pupils shrinking slightly.

What ordinary martial artists would avoid at all costs was, in Lu Xuan's eyes, a treasure trove.

The burning gaze in Lu Xuan's eyes was instantly ignited, bursting forth with a terrifying brilliance, as if it wanted to burn everything around it to ashes.

He slightly spread his five fingers, and the black-gold flames of destruction flickered erratically in his right palm.

Extreme high temperature!
The ancient trees within a radius of a hundred feet suddenly trembled violently, and the faces hidden in the folds of the bark emitted silent screams.

The black-gold flames swirling beneath Lu Xuan's right palm, even with their residual heat, could distort and crack space, revealing spiderweb-like void fissures.

However, the black-gold flames came and went quickly, and were taken back by Lu Xuan in the blink of an eye.

"How many system points would that take..." Lu Xuan licked his lips, suppressing the urge to act immediately.

Looking around, a large expanse of forest was shrouded in a thick, gloomy aura.

In Lu Xuan's mind, the image of the system points skyrocketing had already flashed by. His palms were slightly itchy, and he couldn't wait to swing his palm immediately.

"not the right time yet."

Lu Xuan muttered to himself. The yin energy of this forest alone was enough to rival that of a Divine Palace Realm martial artist, reaching a level of bizarre calamity.

Because in front of Lu Xuan, there was a huge complex of human buildings.

Illuminated by a green light emanating from an unknown source, a towering cluster of magnificent Buddhist pagodas, resembling a city, stood prominently ahead.

A nine-story gilded pagoda surrounds the area, with thousands of golden Arhat statues carved on each of the pagodas.

These Buddha statues, which should have been solemn and dignified, now displayed various expressions of pain and struggle.

Some were bleeding from all seven orifices, some had their muscles twisted, and some were even tearing their Buddhist robes.

In the very center of the complex, a colossal Buddha head, hundreds of feet tall, overlooks all living beings.

That face, which should have been compassionate, turned out to be that of an old man I had never seen before.

His face was lined with deep wrinkles, a strange smile played on his lips, and his half-closed eyes held a chillingly scrutinizing gaze.

"What... what kind of evil Buddha is this?"

Lu Xuan's pupils contracted sharply. He recognized all the Arhats and Bodhisattvas around him.

The only thing that felt completely unfamiliar to Lu Xuan was the main Buddha statue standing at the very center.

What's even stranger is that when Lu Xuan gazed at the Buddha's head, it seemed to possess life, as if it were a living Buddha.

In a daze, the lips of the stone Buddha seemed to move slightly, and a drop of bronze liquid slowly slid down from the corner of its eye.

"despair."

The sound of the liquid hitting the ground was particularly jarring in the silence.

Lu Xuan looked down and found that the soil beneath his feet was turning into bronze, with countless fine, hair-like blood-red lines spreading out from the landing point and covering the entire open space in the blink of an eye.

It seems that something even more powerful must be hidden within the core temple.

Because Lu Xuan noticed that the roots of these Yin trees intertwined underground to form some kind of array, and all the Yin energy eventually flowed towards the strange temple in the center.

"Shh..."

At this moment, countless withered leaves floated in mid-air, each vein oozing dark red blood, weaving into glaring blood-red characters in the void.

Let go of all illusions and sincerely worship Buddha!

The instant these words formed, Lu Xuan's sea of consciousness was suddenly turbulent.

The bewitching power contained in those dozen or so blood-red characters was dozens of times stronger than the demonic eyes in the ancient bronze palace!
The scene before Lu Xuan's eyes began to distort and change—

The eerie ancient temple has been transformed into a solemn and pure land, and the distorted shadows of the trees have become precious Bodhi trees.

Even the eerie Buddha head now radiated a magnificent golden light.

Warm and comforting chants filled the air, carrying a pure power to cleanse the soul.

"Come...come..."

The Buddha's lips did not move, yet a compassionate voice reached deep into the soul.

Lu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and two beams of purple light shot out from his eyes.

"Humph!"

The withered leaves that formed the words were instantly ignited, emitting bursts of mournful and shrill screams.

"Since you are unwilling to convert..."

The hoarse voice made the entire grove of shady trees tremble.

"Then let it become nourishment for the Buddha's Pure Land!"

The threatening words had barely left his lips when...

"Click...click click..."

The bronze lips of all the Buddha heads slowly closed, and their ferocious and terrifying faces returned to their compassionate appearance.

It was as if the evil Buddha that Lu Xuan had seen before was just an illusion.

The entire forest fell into an eerie silence.

The twisted tree trunks stopped writhing, and the painful faces on the bark froze into peaceful expressions.

Even the fallen leaves floating in the air seem to be suspended in mid-air, forming a still and eerie picture.

This unusual calm did not diminish the yin energy it contained by much.

Lu Xuan paid no attention to these tricks and instead stepped forward, heading straight for the Buddhist pagoda complex ahead.

Of course, having received the previous prompts from the system panel, Lu Xuan dared not be careless anymore and kept a close eye on the changes in the surrounding天地力量 (heaven and earth power).

This time, he wanted to see if there was anyone else hiding behind this dilapidated temple, plotting against him.

Moreover, Lu Xuan still needs more than 20,000 system points to erase the mysterious world will on the Nine-Eyed Demon Fire Blade.

This secret realm before us might bring us unexpected surprises; who knows!

A playful smile curved Lu Xuan's lips.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and ripples spread like water around him.

"Buzz——"

With the first step taken, Lu Xuan was already five hundred meters away.

The path blocked by those twisted, dark wood branches was completely useless; they couldn't touch Lu Xuan's body at all.

Lu Xuan's figure flickered between reality and illusion, and each time he appeared, he moved closer to that temple.

Three breaths later, Lu Xuan was already standing in front of the temple's main gate.

Of course, this was under the condition that Lu Xuan was careful and cautious; otherwise, he could have stepped into the interior of the temple without hesitation.

The main gate of the pagoda temple is a heavy bronze door, which is extremely eerie.

Before us, the gates of the pagoda and temple are made of thick bronze.

Suddenly, a muffled rumble rang out, and the bronze gate opened slowly without any wind.

Above the gate, the plaque reading "Zhong Sheng Temple" was faintly visible in the dim light.

In the blink of an eye, golden water droplets seeped from the surface of the plaque, each drop radiating an extremely serene halo.

After detaching from the plaque, these golden water droplets all floated in mid-air, magically arranging themselves to outline a line of text.

Those who enter this gate must renounce the mortal world!

Upon seeing this line of text, Lu Xuan felt no emotion whatsoever.

Just as Lu Xuan lifted his foot, preparing to step into the temple, his pupils suddenly contracted.

In the shadow cast by the door, a familiar figure stood quietly against the wall.

The woman was dressed in the uniform of the Black Bird Guard, the crisp collar and unique black bird pattern highlighting her identity.

Lu Xuan stared intently, his heart pounding – the woman was none other than Li Yanran!
However, what he saw before him was far from enough to bring Lu Xuan's shock to its peak.

As several more figures emerged one after another from the shadows of the door.

An extremely terrifying rage erupted from the depths of Lu Xuan's eyes.

At the same time, in the distant sky, it was as if an invisible giant hand had torn open a gap, from which terrifying black and gold flames surged forth.

These black and gold flames, carrying an aura of destruction, resembled a giant dragon with bared fangs and claws, surging and roaring wildly.

This world-destroying flame is the manifestation of Lu Xuan's boundless rage.

"You are so brave!"

Lu Xuan's furious voice, filled with boundless rage and disbelief, resounded before the deathly silent temple.

"You are so brave!"

Father Lu Jiahe!
Little sister Lu Qingqing!
And the figure that appeared last.

That was something Lu Xuan buried deep in his heart, something he considered taboo, something he had to be careful about even when recalling it.

That was the woman Lu Xuan respected most, without exception!

His mother!

"you wanna die!"
