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

The purple lightning bolt shot down along the thigh bone, which was infused with starlight and gold, and crashed into the icy pool thirty meters underground.

The tens of thousands of volts of static electricity from the ground instantly heated the entire pool of black water into boiling, high-pressure steam the moment it touched the water's surface.

A deafening explosion resounded deep underground.

The fragment of the boundary stone, radiating a blood-red light, simply couldn't withstand this level of physical energy infusion. The enormous, bloodshot eye on the boundary stone didn't even have time to close before it was torn into countless flying pieces of flesh by the violent lightning net.

The dark red light flickered violently twice after being struck by lightning, and then went out completely with a crisp cracking sound.

The cross-dimensional coordinates that the Sirius Star Region had painstakingly secured were pierced through by a stray bone.

Inside the underground command post.

Large sections of the ceiling, constructed with high-grade cement, are collapsing.

The piercing alarm blared, drowning out the roar of the earth cracking. Red emergency lights flashed wildly in the thick smoke.

Wang Hai lay face down on the metal grille, his hands tightly covering his ears. Warm liquid seeped through his fingers; his eardrums had been completely perforated by the shockwave.

Steve's once-proud custom-made suit was now covered in dust. The Asia-Pacific CEO of S.H.I.E.L.D. was clinging to the metal leg of the control panel like a stray dog ​​with a broken spine.

The dozen or so large screens on the control panel all turned into glaringly static displays.

"It's over...it's all over."

Steve was ruminating on his stomach.

"A mutant worth one billion US dollars. A formation worth one hundred and twenty billion. They didn't even touch a hair on his head."

Wang Hai struggled to sit up and shook his buzzing head.

"Stop wailing!"

Wang Hai pulled a specially made large-caliber pistol from his waist and aimed the muzzle at the half-meter-thick alloy explosion-proof door of the command post.

"We're thirty meters underground. Even armor-piercing bullets can't penetrate the blast door. No matter how strong he is, he couldn't possibly dig it down by hand. We still have a way out, along the ventilation ducts..."

Wang Hai hadn't finished speaking.

A sickening squeaking sound suddenly came from the ceiling above my head.

The sound was like hundreds of heavy excavators simultaneously slamming against the load-bearing wall overhead.

boom!

The two-meter-thick cement barrier was directly trampled through.

A pure black figure, carrying a terrifying weight of over five tons, crashed straight down into the corridor outside the command post without any cushioning.

Lu Yuan landed.

His knees didn't even bend. His bones, honed to the Great Ascension stage, absorbed the entire recoil from the fall of thirty meters.

The high-strength alloy floor tiles beneath their feet were crushed into iron discs. The shockwave spread outwards along the ground, shattering the bulletproof glass on both sides of the corridor.

Lu Yuan patted the dust off his windbreaker.

The surrounding temperature was frighteningly low. Although the lightning bolt had dried up the water in the icy pool, it had also released all the yin energy hidden at the bottom of the pool.

Moisture mixed with green, poisonous miasma permeated the corridor.

Roar!

A roar that sounded inhuman echoed from the depths of the ruins.

A shriveled monster covered in white fur crawled out from the bottom of the blasted icy pool.

This thing was dressed in tattered Qing Dynasty official robes, and its ten fingernails were half a meter long, gleaming with a black, poisonous light.

The Wang and Ye families forcibly raised a mutated Yin Corpse in this stagnant, icy pool using their meager cultivator bloodlines. It was originally intended to serve as the living array eye for the interdimensional array in the Sirius Star Region.

With the formation's core destroyed, this brainless beast, smelling the scent of living blood, lunged directly at Lu Yuan.

The corpse moved with incredible speed, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air. Its half-meter-long poisonous claws shot straight for Lu Yuan's throat.

Lu Yuan stood still without even lifting his eyelids.

sizzle.

Ten venomous claws, sharp enough to cut through iron like mud, scratched firmly at Lu Yuan's neck.

Not even a white mark was left.

Those corpse poisons that they were so proud of were instantly evaporated into black smoke the moment they came into contact with the flesh of a Mahayana cultivator by that terrifyingly pure Yang blood.

For the first time ever, the withered face of the corpse showed a human-like blankness.

"Why don't you even pick a nice-looking pet?"

Lu Yuan raised his right hand.

He spread his five fingers and placed them directly on the corpse's forehead.

No true energy was used.

It's simply pressing down.

Click!

The corpse's iron-hard cervical vertebrae snapped instantly. Lu Yuan pressed down on the monster's head, forcing its skull directly into its own chest cavity.

A muffled thud.

This mutated corpse, which struck fear into the hearts of countless powerful figures in the capital, was slapped into a pile of foul-smelling, rotten flesh by Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan shook off the green blood on his hands.

He turned his head and looked at the tightly closed alloy explosion-proof door at the end of the corridor.

Inside the command post.

Wang Hai clearly saw through the surveillance camera the scene of Lu Yuan smashing the Yin Corpse into a pulp with one hand.

His blood seemed to freeze. A warm liquid seeped uncontrollably from his crotch, and a foul stench quickly spread through the enclosed space.

"Lock the door immediately!"

Steve scrambled toward the console, pounding his fists wildly on the keyboard.

"The four mechanical locks are down! This door can withstand the blast of a miniature nuclear bomb! He can't get in!"

Steve shouted at the top of his lungs, it was unclear whether he was trying to comfort Wang Hai or himself.

In the corridor.

Lu Yuan walked to the blast door.

He looked at the heavy iron block.

Make a fist with your right hand.

During the Mahayana phase, muscle fibers contract layer by layer. There is no running start, nor any power build-up.

He threw a punch.

boom!

That wasn't a knocking sound. That was the sound of a meteorite hitting the ground.

The half-meter-thick special alloy explosion-proof door was dented inward by Lu Yuan's fist, creating a large crater with a diameter of one meter. The four mechanical bolts, each as thick as a child's arm, shattered into countless pieces of iron under the enormous kinetic energy, flying around the command post like shotgun bullets.

Wang Hai lay on the ground, clutching his head, when a flying piece of metal sliced ​​off half of his ear.

crunch.

Lu Yuan reached his hand into the crevice of the dent. He exerted force from both shoulders simultaneously.

He ripped the blast-proof door, which weighed over ten tons, off the wall frame as easily as tearing cardboard, and tossed it aside.

The dust settled.

Lu Yuan stepped across the threshold and walked in.

He looked at the two people on the ground, trembling like sieves.

"The takeout has arrived."

Lu Yuan walked to the control panel and pulled up a relatively intact metal swivel chair to sit down.

"Which of the two bosses will pay the bill?"

Steve's mental defenses completely collapsed.

Ignoring the dust and filth on his suit, he scrambled to Lu Yuan's feet, his head banging against the ground repeatedly.

"Mr. Lu! Immortal Lu!"

Steve's gold-rimmed glasses hung on the tip of his nose, and his face was covered in snot and tears.

"I am the Asia Regional Executive of the S.H.I.E.L.D.! I control $300 billion in liquid assets! If you let me go, all of this money is yours! The conglomerate also has more than a dozen secret bases overseas, all of which can be transferred to your name!"

Lu Yuan leaned back in his chair.

He looked at Steve's contorted face.

"Three hundred billion US dollars."

Lu Yuan read the number aloud.

Steve thought there was hope, and his eyes lit up with a will to survive.

"Yes! Three hundred billion! That's enough for you to buy a small country! Just nod your head, and it'll be transferred to your overseas account in five minutes!"

"They're quite wealthy."

Lu Yuan raised his right foot.

The sole of the shoe landed directly on Steve's head.

"Unfortunately, I don't go to the supermarket very often. Whether I have a lot of money or a little, it doesn't make much difference to me."

Slightly exert force on the ankle.

puff.

Steve's head looked like a ripe watermelon that had been run over by a steamroller. Red and white splattered all over Wang Hai's face.

The high-ranking executive of the conglomerate, who held financial power in the Asian region and was usually aloof, didn't even get to utter a final scream before becoming a headless corpse.

Looking at the headless corpse that was still convulsing, Wang Hai felt a wave of nausea wash over him and vomited a mouthful of acidic water.

Lu Yuan rubbed the soles of his shoes on Steve's suit.

He looked at Wang Hai, who was kneeling to the side.

"now you."

Wang Hai suddenly raised his head.

A hysterical frenzy suddenly erupted from his blood-covered face.

He grabbed the walkie-talkie that had fallen to the ground.

"Lu Yuan! Don't think you've won!"

Wang Hai gripped the walkie-talkie tightly, the veins on his fingers bulging.

"Although the Heavenly Thunder Formation on the martial arts stage is destroyed, Ye Qingcheng is still in my hands! There are thirty internal energy masters from my Wang family guarding the perimeter. As long as I release this button, they will slice Ye Qingcheng's flesh off piece by piece!"

Wang Hai was panting heavily, staring intently into Lu Yuan's eyes, trying to find a trace of panic in those dark pupils.

Lu Yuan remained seated in his chair, without even changing his posture.

He looked at the walkie-talkie in Wang Hai's hand.

"Is the one you're tied up with wearing a white outfit and with disheveled hair?"

Wang Hai was stunned for a moment.

How did you know?

"Because I placed the Soul-Eating Death Curse on her."

Lu Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth.

"She writhes in pain every midnight. There are still twelve hours until midnight, she's probably just spacing out right now. You're threatening me with Ye Hongyu's life, that's a pretty bad deal for you."

Wang Hai's mouth was half open.

His mind went completely blank for a moment.

Leafy Red Fish?

How could it be Ye Hongyu!

Wasn't Ye Hongyu locked up in the basement by the Ye family, waiting to die?

He abruptly pressed the talk button on the walkie-talkie.

"Ground team! Answer me! Who's tied up on that platform?! Pull her hair back and check her face!"

A piercing electrical buzzing came from the walkie-talkie.

A few seconds later, a mercenary's trembling voice came out.

"Second...Second Master. Her face is completely rotten, and there's a black lotus mark between her eyebrows. She suddenly laughed just now, and kept muttering something about 'Gods, spare my life'...This woman has gone mad!"

clack.

The walkie-talkie slipped from Wang Hai's hand and fell to the ground.

His last trump card, the only trump card he thought he had to control this Mahayana Immortal Venerable, turned out to be nothing but trash that some people wouldn't even bother to look at from the very beginning.

These high-ranking Beijing elites, when faced with a truly devastating blow, don't even qualify to be clowns.

Lu Yuan stood up.

He walked up to Wang Hai, looking down at the second master of the Wang family.

"I didn't just crush your head because you're still somewhat useful."

Lu Yuan's voice was very calm.

"That mysterious bronze piece at the car accident scene. And that mutated corpse under the Heavenly Prison. What kind of deal did your Wang family and Ye family make with those scumbags in the Sirius Star Region?"

Upon hearing the words "Sirius Star Region," Wang Hai straightened up abruptly.

He looked up, his eyes filled with despair and fear.

He knew he was definitely not going to live to see this day. But if he revealed that secret, his wife, children, and elderly parents in the capital would all be reduced to ashes by the Ye family patriarch.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

Wang Hai gritted his teeth.

"Kill me! The Wang family won't let you get away with this! The Ye family patriarch has emerged from seclusion! He's already reached the threshold of the Divine Realm, and he'll tear you apart!"

"Divine Realm".

Lu Yuan reached out, grabbed Wang Hai by the neck, and lifted him into the air.

During the Mahayana stage, his grip tightened slightly. Wang Hai's cervical vertebrae creaked under the strain.

"Zhao Wuji, who was 150 years old, was also a god. His ashes are still floating in Jiangzhou."

Lu Yuan looked at Wang Hai's bloodshot eyes.

"I'll ask one last time. Where did the copper sheet come from?"

The lack of oxygen turned Wang Hai's face purplish-red. He clung desperately to Lu Yuan's fingers, but in the face of pure physical mass, his struggle was like that of a fly with its wings pinched.

"Cough... Ye... Ye family ancestral land."

Wang Hai managed to squeeze out a few broken syllables.

"The copper plate was dug out from deep within the ancestral land by the Ye family patriarch... It's the main control array plate of the Boundary Stone... They wanted to use the lives of twenty million people in the entire capital... to exchange for the Blood River Sect's immortal cultivation technique..."

Wang Hai's tears streamed down his face.

"Please...give me a quick death..."

"As you wish."

Lu Yuan clenched his fingers.

Click.

Wang Hai's neck was snapped. His head slumped to one side, lifeless.

Lu Yuan casually threw the corpse on the ground.

He walked to the control panel.

A military tablet computer, not completely damaged, lay in the rubble. The screen displayed an energy monitoring map of the entire martial arts arena.

Although the Heavenly Thunder Formation was destroyed and the fragments of the Boundary Stone were blown up.

However, a faint red dot was still flashing in the upper right corner of the screen.

The location of that red dot is not at the martial arts arena in the western suburbs.

And right in the center of the capital.

The ancestral home of the Ye family.

Lu Yuan stared at the red dot.

Those people in the Sirius Star Region aren't stupid. They know not to put all their eggs in one basket. The interdimensional passage on the martial arts stage is just a decoy; the real anchor point has already taken root right under the Ye family's nose.

Including the mysterious bronze piece from the car accident, this debt is now completely tied up.

Just then.

Suddenly, a blinding red light burst forth from the remnant of the boundary stone on the ground.

The red light did not attack Lu Yuan, but instead, like a nimble loach, it pierced through the rock strata thirty meters underground and shot straight into the depths of the capital city.

It was so fast that even Lu Yuan's current physical body couldn't intercept it.

Lu Yuan looked at the hole above his head that had been burned through by the red light.

What that thing took away was the coordinates and information of this place.

In the Sirius star system, hundreds of light-years away, the Blood River Sect's leader must have already received the battle report that the Martial Arts Arena had been flattened.

"They were in a hurry to tip off the spies."

Lu Yuan put his hands back into the pockets of his windbreaker.

"That's fine. It saves me the trouble of knocking on each door."

He stepped over the pieces of flesh and scrap metal scattered on the ground, and walked up the tunnel that had been smashed open.

The murky waters in the capital have only just begun. There's that red dot at the Ye family's ancestral home, and those reclusive old monsters who think they're in control of everything.

Now that the physical calibration has been completed.

Next, we should proceed to push through them one by one.

Lu Yuan walked out of the underground command post.

The sky outside was terribly gloomy. Dark clouds pressed down on the ruins of the martial arts arena, and the air was thick with the smell of ozone.

He raised his head and glanced in the direction of Jiangzhou.

Cloud Peak Villa, a thousand miles away.

Lu Qingxue, who was lying on the millennium-old cold jade bed, suddenly frowned.

The red mark on her stomach throbbed violently. A chilling aura belonging to the Sirius Star Region, without warning, pierced through the barriers of space and locked onto the girl who possessed a spiritual energy nuclear reactor within her body.

Lu Yuan paused for half a second.

Although he lacked true essence, his physical body, being at the Mahayana stage, still possessed a keen sensitivity to his bloodline.

The Heavenly Dao Chain, which was in a state of malfunction, trembled slightly in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"court death."

Lu Yuan uttered two words.

The granite beneath their feet was crushed into dust.
