After the college entrance examination, my identity as a Mahayana Immortal Venerable could no longer

"They said they would publicly execute him three days later using the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Formation."

Lin Zhen leaned against the door frame and spat out those bloody words.

Lu Yuan remained silent.

He looked down at Lu Qingxue lying on the stone slab.

After being thoroughly cleansed by the domineering essence of the Extreme Flame Dragon Marrow, the frost on Lu Qingxue's body had completely disappeared. Her skin shone with a warm, jade-like luster, and her breathing was long and steady. The cold poison of the Nine Yin Profound Meridians had not only been completely neutralized, but had even formed a pure vortex of spiritual energy in her dantian.

Lu Yuan pulled a section of the partially burned curtain from the nearby ruins and covered his sister with it.

Lin Zhen coughed, clutching his broken ribs.

"Those bastards from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion timed it perfectly."

Lin Zhen spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Elder Li led his men to clear out the spies inside the Celestial Surveillance Bureau, leaving the headquarters defenses weak. Xu Changming's junior brother led his men to forcibly take over the ruins of the Martial Arts Arena. They declared that Special Envoy Ye's betrayal of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance was a disgrace to the martial arts world."

Lu Yuan straightened up.

His security guard jacket had long since burned to ashes. His muscular upper body was naked, the muscle fibers displaying a terrifyingly high density, with dark red marks from the heat of the dragon marrow still visible on the surface.

"I have high hopes for her."

Lu Yuan left behind three words.

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Lu! Elder Li is mobilizing backup fighter jets from Nanyuan Airport. At most, it will take an hour..."

Lu Yuan didn't wait for him to finish speaking and walked directly to the edge of the shattered balcony.

The roars of wild beasts echoed from the foot of the mountain.

The mutated beast horde attracted by the earlier eruption of the Nine Yin Profound Vein is now gathered at the foot of Panlong Mountain. A dark, dense mass of S-rank monsters, catalyzed by the spiritual energy tide.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath.

The vital energy of the Mahayana stage flowed out of his pores without reservation.

This is not true essence. This is an absolute suppressive force that transcends countless levels of life.

Within a radius of five li.

Those tough, thick-skinned mutated wild boars and black wolves, who weren't even afraid of armor-piercing bullets, all had their legs go limp the moment they came into contact with this surge of energy.

Hundreds of mutated beasts lay sprawled in the mud. The stench of urine mixed with the earthy odor permeated the air, and not a single animal dared to utter a sound.

Lin Zhen leaned against the wall, his eyelids twitching wildly.

Lu Yuan bent his knees slightly.

No running start.

Boom!

The entire villa sank half a meter under the enormous reaction force. Countless cracks, as thick as a wrist, blasted open in the load-bearing walls.

Lu Yuan, imbued with violent kinetic energy, soared into the dark night sky.

10,000 meters above the ground.

The wind speed reached an alarming level.

Lu Yuan formed his hands into claws, digging his ten fingers directly into the air in front of him.

The terrifying gripping power of the Mahayana stage physical body erupted. A deafening sound, as if two steel plates were being torn apart, echoed through the air.

He tore open a pitch-black spatial rift with his bare hands.

Spatial turbulence erupted from the crack.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yuan stepped inside.

This was the first time he had forcibly traversed the void without the protection of true essence since returning to Earth.

The void's gale lashed at his body, producing a series of ear-piercing clanging sounds. The dead skin on his surface, scalded by the Extreme Flame Dragon Marrow, was shaved off piece by piece by the gale, revealing the new muscle underneath, gleaming with a pale golden luster.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness.

The black Heavenly Dao chain began to tighten wildly once again as he used physical power that transcended the laws.

The infant was severely deformed from being strangled.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth so hard they made a grinding sound.

Despite the excruciating pain in his mind, as if being cut by a dull knife, he followed the tiny trace of blood and qi left when he reshaped Ye Qingcheng's meridians, forcibly locking onto the coordinates of the capital city in the dark void, and ran wildly.

The capital city. Ruins of the martial arts arena.

The rain poured down.

The white marble square has been completely reduced to ashes.

A broken pillar stands in the center.

Ye Qingcheng was pinned to the pillar by four Soul-Suppressing Nails, each as thick as a wrist, piercing through her limb joints.

Her white clothes were already soaked with black blood. Her long hair was wet and clung to her face, and she was on the verge of death.

Four people were standing at the foot of the pillar.

One of them was Xu Changming, the second elder of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, dressed in a purple robe. He held a palm-sized purple bronze compass in his hand.

Beside him stood two old men dressed in coarse cloth jackets. These were the two remaining reclusive elders of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance, both at the Transcendent Realm.

Finally, there was a white man in a bespoke suit. Jack, the new Asia Pacific envoy for the S.H.I.E.L.D.

Elder Xu.

Jack flicked the ash off his cigar.

"Your China's efficiency is too slow. Why not just send someone to Jiangzhou to kill a cripple who has lost his internal energy? Why bother with this public execution three days later?"

Xu Changming stared at the compass in his hand.

"Mr. Jack doesn't understand the rules of our Xuanmen sect."

Xu Changming stroked his beard, which was wet from the rain.

"That kid withstood the nuclear explosion in the Heavenly Prison, which the whole world witnessed. If we just kill him quietly like this, how can the prestige of the martial arts world be restored? We must blast him into dust in front of the world with the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Formation so that those restless little sects can kneel down again."

An elder at the Transcendent Realm let out a cold snort from his nose.

"According to the scouts, that kid used some kind of forbidden technique to withstand a nuclear bomb, and now he can't even muster his inner energy. He dares to challenge us with just brute force."

Elder Huajing walked to the pillar.

He reached out and pinched Ye Qingcheng's chin, forcing her to raise her head.

"Ye girl. You are a genius that our Ancient Martial Arts Alliance has only seen once in a century. We were originally counting on you to lead the team to compete for a spot in the Kunlun Secret Realm, but instead, you went and became someone else's dog."

Ye Qingcheng's mouth was full of blood.

Her chapped lips twitched, and she spat a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the old man's face.

"You bunch of frogs in a well..."

Ye Qingcheng's voice was hoarse, but her tone was full of fervor.

"Master's power... is something you can't possibly comprehend..."

"When he arrives... you will all have your souls extracted and your bodies refined..."

The old man wiped the blood from his face and slapped Ye Qingcheng across the face with his other hand.

The crisp sound of a slap carried far into the rainy night.

Ye Qingcheng's left cheek was swollen high, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

"Still being stubborn even when death is imminent."

The old man shook his hand.

"I'd like to see if your damn master dares to come back in three days..."

Before he could finish speaking...

A tearing sound, sharp enough to pierce the eardrums, came from the sky above.

The bronze compass in Xu Changming's hand suddenly trembled violently. The pointer spun wildly and then, with a snap, flew away.

"What's going on!"

Xu Changming was shocked.

A pitch-black crack suddenly appeared above the broken pillar.

The turbulent void surged forth, instantly turning the surrounding rain into tornadoes.

A figure fell out of the crack.

Boom!

The figures crashed heavily onto the bluestone floor in front of the broken pillar.

The ground suddenly sank down. All the bluestone slabs within a radius of several meters warped upwards, and the violent kinetic energy spread out in a ring along the surface.

The two Transcendent Realm elders and Jack were thrown away by the shockwave, rolling seven or eight times on the ground before barely coming to a stop.

The dust and water droplets scattered in the air dissipated.

Lu Yuan stood barefoot in the center of the deep pit.

He only had a tattered cloth wrapped around his waist.

He looked up at Ye Qingcheng, who was nailed to the pillar.

Ye Qingcheng barely managed to open her eyes.

"Owner......"

Her voice trembled violently, and tears mixed with blood streamed down her face.

Lu Yuan remained silent.

He turned his head and his gaze fell on the Transcendent Realm elder who had just slapped Ye Qingcheng.

"Three days is too long."

Lu Yuan took a step forward.

"I'm in a hurry."

The Transcendent Elder got up from the ground, his face wrinkled and creased.

"Tearing through the void... That's impossible! There's no true energy fluctuation within your body! How could a mortal's body withstand the gale-force winds of the void!"

Lu Yuan did not answer his question.

He kicked off the ground with his left leg.

boom!

The original bluestone slabs turned directly into dust.

The explosive power of the Mahayana stage is so great that ordinary people cannot even catch a glimpse of it.

The Transcendent Elder only felt a blur before his eyes.

A large, calloused hand gripped his face. Five fingers dug effortlessly into the crevices of his skull.

"Just now."

Lu Yuan's voice completely drowned out the surrounding wind and rain.

"Was it done with this hand?"

Lu Yuan's right arm muscles suddenly swelled.

He lifted the 150-pound Grandmaster of Transcendent Realm with one hand, swung his arm, and slammed him hard onto the bluestone slab beneath his feet.

Snapped.

This is not the sound of a bone breaking.

The moment the Transcendent Elder's body touched the ground, it exploded into a uniform cloud of blood mist. Bones, internal organs, and flesh were all smashed into a bloody pulp by the terrifying kinetic energy.

Red and white bits of meat splattered all over Jack, who was standing next to him.

Jack covered his mouth and began to gag.

He drew a specially made laser pistol from his waist and repeatedly pulled the trigger at Lu Yuan.

"Go to hell!"

A high-energy laser beam struck Lu Yuan's bare back.

Not even a single hair was burned off. It was directly repelled by the high-density defense of the Great Ascension stage skin.

Another Transcendent Realm elder seized the opportunity to draw a black dagger and stab Lu Yuan in the lower back from behind.

The short knife pierced Lu Yuan's skin, but didn't even leave a dent; the blade snapped off instantly.

Lu Yuan didn't even turn his head. He reached behind him with his right hand and precisely grabbed the other person's collar.

"Noisy."

Lu Yuan casually pulled it.

They directly uprooted the entire right arm of this Transcendent Elder.

The old man screamed and fell to the ground, rolling around. Blood spurted from his severed arm more than two meters high.

Lu Yuan turned around.

He raised his right foot and casually kicked a protruding half of a stone tablet.

The stone tablet, weighing several hundred kilograms, flew out with a shrill sound that broke the sound barrier.

puff.

Jack didn't even have time to dodge before he was cut in half by the stone tablet. His upper body flew more than ten meters away, while his lower body remained standing, spitting blood.

Xu Changming was so frightened that he backed away and fell directly into the puddle.

He quickly formed hand seals while chanting incantations.

"Activate the formation! Heavenly Thunder Formation, activate!"

Xu Changming bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

Dozens of dazzling array patterns lit up around the ruins of the martial arts arena. The dark clouds overhead churned like boiling water, and thick purple lightning bolts gathered wildly deep within the clouds.

"No matter how strong your physical body is, it cannot withstand the power of heaven and earth!"

Xu Changming pointed at Lu Yuan and roared.

"fall!"

Boom!

A dazzling purple bolt of lightning struck down, hitting Lu Yuan squarely on the head.

The blinding electric light turned the entire square a ghastly white. The raging heat evaporated all the surrounding rainwater into white steam.

Xu Changming gasped for breath, staring intently at the spot at the center of the lightning strike.

The lightning slowly dissipated.

Lu Yuan stood still.

The tattered cloth wrapped around his waist had been burned to ashes.

His body was completely unharmed.

You could even say he's in exceptionally good form.

The tiny wounds that had been cut open by the gale in the void were completely closed under the cleansing of this heavenly lightning. After absorbing the energy of the lightning, the surface of the Mahayana stage physical body shimmered with a warm, jade-like luster.

more importantly.

Just now, at the moment the lightning struck, deep within Lu Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness, the black Heavenly Dao chain was struck by the power of the lightning.

The chains themselves were a sinister curse, and upon encountering the most masculine force of lightning in the world, they instinctively flinched. The force that had been tightening around the nascent soul actually loosened slightly.

A long-lost feeling of comfort spread throughout my body along my meridians.

Lu Yuan raised his hand and looked at his completely refreshed skin.

He twisted his neck, and his cervical vertebrae cracked like popping beans.

"That's all the voltage we have."

Lu Yuan raised his head and looked at Xu Changming, whose face was ashen.

"It's not even enough to give me a back rub."

Lu Yuan pointed to the dark clouds still churning overhead.

"Two more dishes, please."

Xu Changming plopped down in the mud, his legs went weak, and he couldn't even stand up.

"You... what kind of monster are you...?"

Lu Yuan walked to the broken pillar.

He stretched out his hands and grasped the two Soul-Suppressing Nails that were embedded in Ye Qingcheng's collarbone.

The physical body exerts its power during the Mahayana stage.

With a tooth-grinding scraping sound, he forcefully pulled out two long steel nails that were deeply embedded in the white marble pillar.

Ye Qingcheng let out a muffled groan and collapsed into Lu Yuan's arms.

Lu Yuan put one arm around her waist and pulled out the other two nails that were stuck in her ankle.

Black blood flowed down Ye Qingcheng's wound.

Lu Yuan placed Ye Qingcheng on a clean stone slab beside him.

He turned around and walked step by step toward Xu Changming, who was sitting in the mud.

"I searched Xu Changqing's soul when he died."

Lu Yuan looked down at him.

"The Qimen Dunjia techniques of Tianji Pavilion are all fragments unearthed from an ancient ruin. In that ruin, there is a bronze piece engraved with star array patterns."

Xu Changming's eyelids twitched suddenly.

"How did you know about that piece of copper...?"

Lu Yuan did not answer.

He raised his right foot and stomped heavily on Xu Changming's right knee.

Click.

Xu Changming's entire right kneecap was crushed to pieces.

"ah!"

Xu Changming let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"That copper piece is a fragment of the key to the Sirius Starfield interdimensional teleportation array."

Lu Yuan rubbed the soles of his feet.

"Your Heavenly Mystery Pavilion prides yourself on being the orthodox sect of the Xuanmen, but secretly you're using the incomplete arrays from the Sirius Star Region as family heirlooms. Even this Heavenly Thunder Array uses their method of extracting earth veins."

Lu Yuan bent down, grabbed Xu Changming by the collar, and pulled him out of the mud.

"I'm in a hurry."

Lu Yuan stared into Xu Changming's eyes.

"Where is that piece of copper? Tell me, and I'll give you a quick death."

Xu Changming was in so much pain that his whole body convulsed, but a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Too late..."

Xu Changming was laughing while spitting out blood.

"Why do you think we're stalling for time...?"

"The S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions in the East China Sea are just a smokescreen... The real interdimensional portal isn't even in the Ruins of Return..."

Xu Changming stared intently at Lu Yuan.

"In half a month...at most half a month, the elders of the Blood River Sect will arrive..."

"At that time, the entire Earth will have to serve as food for the adults..."

A hint of violence flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

"Too much nonsense."

Lu Yuan clenched his five fingers.

He crushed Xu Changming's throat.

Xu Changming's head drooped limply.

Lu Yuan casually tossed his body onto the ground.

He looked up and glanced at the gradually dissipating dark clouds overhead.

Behind the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, there are even deeper waters. The interdimensional teleportation array in the Sirius Star Region is definitely not just the Guixu one.

But Lu Yuan didn't care.

One comes, he kills one. Two come, he kills two.

He walked to Ye Qingcheng's side and picked her up in his arms.

"Let's go."

Lu Yuan carried Ye Qingcheng and strode out of the ruins of the martial arts arena.

"I'll take you to kill someone."
