Chapter 468: 0302 Middle Realm, Qiongqi Spirit (4k)_2

In an instant, the True Qi in his Qi Sea trembled and rapidly split.

Five hundred strands of True Qi spun slowly like the stars in a time-lapse.

He drew forth ten strands of True Qi, stirring the Death Qi within his body.

He opened his palm, and the Life and Death Qi emerged, coiling into a grey sphere the size of a fist.

It radiated a decaying, withering breath of death, making people uncomfortable.

[Life and Death Talisman: First Layer (100%) → Second Layer (1%)]

"Finally perfected the first layer, today I’ll test its power."

Lu Chenzhou extinguished the sphere and opened the War Merit Store.

[Your current balance of war merits is: 6300 points.]

He opened the [Divine Skill] category.

["Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds," 50,000 war merits, Lower Divine Skill, the World’s Number One Sound Wave Martial Arts, capable of condensing eight types of sound waves, nothing it cannot kill!]

"Rare things are precious; the exchange price for the same Lower Divine Skill, ’Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds,’ is several times that of ordinary Divine Skills.

Buzz—— The light from Tiger Tai Sui in his mind flickered.

The Ancient Sword rotated in all directions, unable to stop.

This meant enemies were approaching from all sides.

Usually, this situation signifies the onset of a demon tide.

Lu Chenzhou stood up, his muscles and bones resonating together, with the roar of lions and tigers, chiming like bells and drums.

Sure enough, Bai Miaomiao shouted outside.

"Brother Lu, we’re under attack, it’s a demon tide."

"Here it comes."

Lu Chenzhou’s palm once again revealed the grey sphere, flickering in and out of visibility.

"Just in time to test the might of the Life and Death Talisman after ascending to the next layer."

Boom boom boom!

Gunfire had already erupted outside, shaking the heavens.

Rustling noises came from the forests surrounding the outpost.

Thick, sulfuric acid-like yellow smog shot out from the woods.

Dense swarms of red ants swept over like a crimson tide.

Duan Huaiyu said,

"Red fire demon ants, everyone be careful!"

Lu Chenzhou stated with a grave expression,

"More insect demons, it never ends."

In the Hengduan Mountain Region, the most dangerous and numerous are the insect demons.

Large numbers, various kinds, diverse abilities—earth tunneling, fire spitting, acid spewing, poisonous fogs... they’re endlessly varied and hard to guard against.

The military’s "Monster Atlas" is updated with new species of insect demons every day.

Bai Miaomiao spoke coldly,

"It must be the Witch God Sect behind this!"

During this period, many prodigies had had numerous encounters with the Witch God Sect.

They call themselves "Gu Masters" and favor controlling insects in battle, skilled in the tactics of insect wave warfare.

Without both internal and external cultivation, and enduring stamina, it would be disadvantageous to confront them head-on.

Lu Chenzhou’s eyes tightly shut, feet firm like Tiger Palms, his body hair bristling like tiger whiskers, feeling the pulse of the earth.

Suddenly, he moved, his body shaking, and he directly appeared behind Zhou Ruoxue who was on guard.

"Be careful!"

Zhou Ruoxue and Lu Chenzhou were not very familiar with each other.

Her expression changed, thinking that Lu Chenzhou was about to sneak attack her, and she almost instinctively retaliated.

When Lu Chenzhou landed, his feet crushed the ground.

He drew his spear with his backhand, his arm, wrist, and abdominal muscles tightening, and then instantly releasing, propelling the spear!

The long spear rotated from his side and fiercely stabbed into the ground a bit more than three feet deep, leaving only the handle exposed.

The accumulated Gun Light at the tip detonated, shaking the earth like a landmine.

Chunks of earth shattered, and Lu Chenzhou gripped the long spear with both hands, shoving it forward.

With a tremendous force, he split open a trench in the ground layer more than three feet deep.

Deep underground, there seemed to be the sound of bursting flesh.

Gulping noises... blue fluid surged from the ground, corroding the surrounding earth as white smoke billowed.

Lu Chenzhou leaped into the trench, picking up a strange blue worm about two zhang long and thick as a python.

The worm had eight bizarre faces on its body.

He frowned and said,

"Here’s a new type of Second Realm demon."

Zhou Ruoxue’s cheeks flushed slightly, thinking to herself that it was a good thing she didn’t attack.

It was her who was slow to react, not realizing there was a demon lurking underground.

The Daling acupoint could sense demon energy, but when faced with a tide where demons were coming from all directions, it was inaccurate.

Bai Miaomiao also failed to detect it.

She looked surprised and asked, "This demon hid so well, I didn’t notice it either, how did Brother Lu discover it?"

Lu Chenzhou replied, "My primary Fist Technique allows me to perceive extremely subtle vibrations around me.

After the Fifth Rank, the [Tiger Sniff] ability also continues to strengthen.

Zhou Ruoxue expressed her gratitude with a bow, "Thank you, Brother Lu."

Bai Miaomiao said, "So this is the legendary hexagonal warrior..."

Buzz, buzz, buzz! The man-faced bees with poisonous stingers also swarmed in, covering the sky and the earth.

Guns and rockets and other thermal weapons ceaselessly fired into the sky, and insects fell like rain.

Lu Chenzhou arrived at a supreme vantage point, surveying the situation around him.

As a Martial Arts Master, he didn’t need to waste his strength on ordinary demons in a regular defensive battle.

Their duty was to hunt down Great Demons that might destroy the stronghold.

...

Somewhere in the mountains and forests.

A figure draped in a black cloak, slender in stature, held a walking staff carved from dead wood.

Her face was hideous, resembling a bug clinging to her.

Miao Xiaofeng, the Third Squad Leader of the Hengduan Mountain Region for the Witch God Sect, was extremely powerful, second only to the protector.

"Is this the Divine Son that Witch God himself ordered to be captured alive? Indeed, his sensory abilities are very strong."

She had been searching for Lu Chenzhou for some time.

The ultimate purpose of letting the swarm attack the stronghold was also for Lu Chenzhou.

Miao Xiaofeng bit her finger and drew a mysterious symbol on her belly with her staff.

The next moment, a black hole took shape, and a man-faced mantis with the size of a dog crawled out.

A pair of bright green saber arms could easily shatter any Martial Arts Master’s True Qi.

Third Realm Demon・Bilu Mantis-faced!

Not only that, but another strange insect emerged from the black hole, like an earthworm with black scales.

Third Realm Demon・Drilling Devil Earthworm.

"Master, what are your orders?"

The two Insect Demons prostrated on the ground.

Miao Xiaofeng said,

"Coordinate your efforts and bring that man to me. You may cripple him, but do not kill him."

...

Inside the stronghold, the battle had reached a fever pitch.

Duan Huaiyu was fiercely battling a Third Realm Beetle Insect Demon.

Others also found their respective targets, hunting Great Demons.

Lu Chenzhou had just dealt with one Great Demon.

Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine, coldness rushing over him like a tidal wave.

His muscles tensed, hair standing on end, and his body shot up from the spot like a startled cat, landing far away.

At the same time, he slapped his palm towards his rear.

A gray sphere shot out, exploding on the spot in an instant.

Boom! The shockwave blasted cracks in the ground within a ten-meter radius.

In the midst of the dust, the Bilu Mantis-faced crossed its arms, its surface wrapped in thick Death Qi, even showing a fine crack.

Its human face displayed a look of disbelief.

Being a swift demon, with its quick speed, how could this mere Second Realm human have dodged it?

And what was that gray sphere? It had actually caused slight damage to its Early Third Realm Insect Shell.

Though it was not known for its defense, it shouldn’t be that fragile.

Without time to think further, it burst forward like a streak of golden light, closing in on Lu Chenzhou in an instant.

"Roar!"

All of a sudden, a golden Qiongqi Spirit with wings on its back and a single horn on its head materialized in front of Lu Chenzhou.

Yes, this was true materialization, just like a Martial Arts Master!

Lu Chenzhou had fused with the Golden Hou Spirit and advanced to the Middle Realm, his will so strong that he could now materialize his Qi Po.

The Qiongqi collided with the mantis, golden saber lights flashing, tearing the Qi Po to shreds!

The saber light was extremely fast and did not diminish in momentum!

Lu Chenzhou’s figure flew backward, crashing through several military tents, kicking up dust and debris.

From a distance, Miao Xiaofeng’s expression tightened, and she quickly transmitted a message,

"The old lady wants him alive; a dead one won’t do for handing over!"

The mantis’ saber arms were so sharp they could even cut through the Vigorous Air Shield of an Initial Realm Martial Arts Master.

She was worried she might accidentally kill the future Divine Son.

That would inevitably provoke the wrath of the Witch God.

...

On another front.

Duan Huaiyu was personally facing off against a Third Realm Great Demon.

Until now, the battle had been under his control.

Boom—As another surge of Third Realm Qi entered the battlefield, his expression changed.

"Something’s not right, why are there so many Third Realm demons?"

This area had already been cleared, there shouldn’t be so many Great Demons.

Little did he know, the Witch God Sect’s powerful figures had launched a demon tide specifically to capture Lu Chenzhou.

It’s like hiring a band simply to accompany one flute play.

Duan Huaiyu’s fingers came together, thrusting out with the Six Meridian Divine Sword Palm.

An invisible blade formed of condensed Gang Qi repelled the Great Demon in front of him.

He leaped, sweeping towards where Lu Chenzhou was.

Lu Chenzhou was invited by him to sit at the stronghold; nothing could go wrong.
