Chapter 508: 0329 Heavenly Battle Ninth Star! (3k)

The voice entered into one’s mind like rolling thunder, shaking the heavens!

"Our Heavenly Battle Sect disciples,

battle against the heavens!

Battle against the earth!

Battle against people!

If we do not fight, how can we strengthen our bodies?

If we do not fight, how can we boost our courage?

If we do not fight, how can we... protect our family?

Those who hold the Sky Battle Token, no matter where they come from, or what kind of creatures they are, they are all our Heavenly Battle Sect disciples!

All our disciples can ascend the Heavenly Tower, battle on the Life and Death Platform, and traverse the Dou Heaven Hall!

All our disciples must not be cowardly, must not betray the sect, and must not collude with external Evil Gods!

All our disciples can seize the position of the Heavenly Battle Sect Master through combat!

All our disciples must strengthen our Dou Sect!

..."

The grand and majestic voice gradually faded away.

Lu Chenzhou stood there, battle intent surging in his eyes, burning intensely, unprecedentedly fierce.

On the token, starlight roamed, outlining the characters of Da Xia.

[Heavenly Battle Sect (Xia Realm), Ninth Star · Lu Chenzhou!]

"Ninth Star?"

As if to answer Lu Chenzhou’s inner question, another series of names appeared on the token.

[Eighth Star · Yang Jue]

[Seventh Star · Netherworld King]

[Sixth Star · Demon Mountain]

...

[Second Star · Cangtian Dragon King]

[First Star · Eternal Immortal]

Yang Tian: "The Sky Battle Token is extremely important; it is your identification token for entering the Battle Realm. You are the ninth holder in this realm, which is earlier than many Absolute Peak experts. The ranking doesn’t matter because it fluctuates. If you challenge and defeat Eternal Immortal now, you would be the First Star, the first True Inheritance!"

"I see."

"Except for our human world, the Heavenly Battle Sect probably has setups in the Three Thousand Worlds."

"Even after destruction, can the mountain gate be reopened and disciples recruited?"

"Yes, the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the Heavenly Heart Sect, and the Heavenly Sword Sect should also have backups. Hence, the Absolute Peak experts of Buddhism and Daoism have not chosen to join the Heavenly Battle Sect for now."

"Buddhist and Po Suo sects align more with the Heavenly Heart Sect; the Daoist sects align more with the Heavenly Sword Sect; as for Horizontal Training, it’s more like the Heavenly Dragon Sect."

"Indeed. The Absolute Peak experts have always been pioneering their own paths and have struggled to find a way forward. Now there is at least a reference, but it can only serve as such. Our Da Xia Martial Arts, which combines spirit, energy, and essence, is different from any of the Four Heavenly Sects. It’s more like a combination of the Four Sects, but we must still find our path."

"Use the past for the present, take its essence."

"That’s right. From now on, within the Heavenly Battle Sect, we are peers, you can call me Brother Yang."

"Alright, Brother Yang."

Lu Chenzhou suddenly remembered Dragon King.

This former idol is now his peer.

Dragon King, being such a strong Heavenly Realm powerhouse, was a high-ranking member in the ancient Heavenly Battle Sect as well.

Now, with the sect destroyed and no sect master.

Want to become the Sect Master?

Then go and fight!

...

At dawn, the light broke over the horizon.

Su City Dragon Martial.

Lu Chenzhou had returned.

The return of the champion caused a stir in the branch school.

"Senior Lu, can I take a photo with you? I’m also in the genius class, my name is Wei Hong. We’ve chatted in the group before."

A young man carrying a spear came over with a somewhat nervous expression.

"Sure."

"Senior Lu, I also want..."

In an instant, a bunch of people gathered, asking for a photo.

Lu Chenzhou laughed heartily, jumped, and disappeared into the clouds under everyone’s astonished gazes.

At the Stone Lake villa, he quietly landed and pushed open the door.

"Mom, Dad, I’m back."

"Son, we saw your match! You were amazing!"

The two elders spoke one after another, incredibly excited.

Old Ji came running as well:

"Disciple, you were awesome! World champion! I think you should be directly appointed as the number one on the Mystic List in all nations!"

Qingtian Cang deeply agreed: "Indeed, that spear move... Even I have to treat it seriously."

This Grandmaster was filled with emotions; in just a few years, young Lu had almost caught up with him.

Old Ji proudly said, "Master, when will you break through the fourth layer?"

Qingtian Cang laughed: "Why, wanting to challenge Heavenly Gang? Not breaking through the fourth layer is nothing to be ashamed of. Becoming a Grandmaster is like climbing to the sky."

He chatted with the two mentors for a long time. Without the two senior sisters at home, it wasn’t as lively as before.

Then, Lu Chenzhou went to see Li Gui and Chen Jiu.

He hadn’t seen Teacher Chen for a long time and missed him terribly.

With the Water Mansion’s opportunity now, Chen Jiu no longer ventured into the Void Realm to avoid worrying his wife.

During the chat, Chen Jiu self-mocked that in a few years, he wouldn’t be Lu Chenzhou’s match anymore.

Time flies, the martial arts fanatic youth now well-developed, surpassing numerous mentors and seniors.

...

Under the starry night.

Lu Chenzhou sat cross-legged, having just completed a segment of Heart Sutra cultivation.

[Three Worlds and Ten Directions Venerable Sutra: Second Layer (60%)]

His spiritual power had reached 118 Prajna.

In the battle of the Fighting Realm, his Fist Theory had invisibly improved a lot, with spiritual power rising accordingly.

However, the most significant change was still the Martial Arts Tree.

"Battle Trip..."

He looked at one of its leaves, which depicted his first killing scene on a rainy night.

[Consume spiritual power to begin the first act: Battle in the Rainy Night.]

With a thought, a trace of weak spiritual power was consumed.

In a daze, Lu Chenzhou returned to that night.

The heavy rain was pouring, chasing cars, the sound of gunfire...

In front of him appeared a man in a white-collar shirt.

The mechanical prosthetic leg swept over, Lu Chenzhou stood still like a mountain.

In the next moment, the mechanical prosthetic deformed, shattered, and sparks flew.

With a casual but overwhelming move, Lu Chenzhou sent the man flying a hundred meters, turning into a blood mist.

[In this battle, you gained no insights.]

"Interesting."

Lu Chenzhou began to replay significant battles from the past.

In his bedroom, his fists were waving as if a real enemy was attacking him.

He muttered to himself: "This feeling is like the inheritance from the Spear Immortal Temple, with an imaginary enemy engaging in a duel with me."

One by one, the enemies were quickly defeated by him.

The early enemies were too weak, all defeated in one punch.

After each fight, there was no comprehension.

An hour later, the timeline came to the battle against the Mantis Demon.

With a thought, Lu Chenzhou intended to start a new scene.

[Insufficient Spiritual Power]

Only then did he realize his spiritual power was exhausted, and his head was groggy, as if he had worked on the Heart Sutra for four hours.

"Sleep, tackle it tomorrow."

...

The next morning.

Lu Chenzhou woke up and applied medicine.

He did an inner vision of his body and found that most of his internal injuries had healed.

Outside the door, a staff member from the Spear Skill Association delivered the [Nine Heavens Star Spirit Pill].

Lu Chenzhou opened the jade box; the pill was black as ink, like a star, with the projected shadows of numerous stars around it.

"It’s indeed the miraculous medicine that can help with the Opening the Acupoint, even having an anomaly."

Generally, only Earth-grade Treasure Medicines had anomalies.

He put the Treasure Medicine away, preparing to take it after his internal injuries fully healed.

Returning to the practice room, Lu Chenzhou looked at the Mantis Demon on the leaf.

"Come on, let me face you!"

Vast amounts of spiritual power were consumed, and he returned to that stronghold again.

The sound of gunfire, the sound of battle...

Bai Miaomiao, Zhou Ruoxue...

He observed himself again:

Cold Silkworm Robe, Ten Directions Boots, Tiger Gall Gun, Heavenly Dragon Cloak, and even the long-damaged Spirit Bracelet.

Everything seemed so real.

[Fighting the heavens brings endless joy, the battle begins!]

An emotionless voice like that of the Heavenly Dao echoed in his mind.

A green shadow attacked, and the sensation of danger made Lu Chenzhou’s hair stand on end. His body sprang, dodging the spot just in time.

The dark green Demon Blade slashed the ground, tearing open a crack, Sword Qi swirling like a torrent, breaking trees and grass.

The Mantis Demon’s compound eyes observed Lu Chenzhou, bloodthirsty and cruel.

Feeling the power far surpassing a year ago, Lu Chenzhou laughed: "Mantis brother, long time no see!"

He gathered his momentum, his body moved like lightning, dragging the spear, his right arm’s muscles swelling with furious power surging through the spear.

"Black Cloud Pressing a City!"

The spear clashed with the Demon Blade, sparks flying, as if liquid mercury spilled all over the ground.

Lu Chenzhou’s body flew back, retreating ten zhang, and the spear plowed the ground, slowing down and halting.

The Mantis Demon retreated a few steps as well, the Demon Blade carving two trenches, with cracks spreading on its surface.

"Hahaha, Third Realm, but merely so!"

Lu Chenzhou laughed to the sky, fully understanding the rules of the [Battle Trip].

The battle scenes and equipment were of the day he met his enemies.

But the combat experience, combat skills, and cultivation were all from today.

Now, with a set of top-tier equipment, he could completely withstand the Mantis Demon, a brittle monster.

Lu Chenzhou’s momentum soared, the Martial King True Body surrounding Tiger Swallow Spirit, three souls manifesting together!

"Ten steps to kill a man!"

Two gun shadows intersected, left and right were cleaved by the Mantis Demon, two slashes flying!

"Earth Wind and Thunder!"

Lu Chenzhou merged with the gun, transforming into wind and thunder, flashing like an electric thunderbolt, stabbing towards the Mantis Demon’s head.

The Mantis Demon seemed to lag, suddenly flashing to dodge, causing Lu Chenzhou’s stab to miss.

At the same time, its wings on the back unfolded, turning into two thin-as-cicada-wing large blades, slashing through the air!

Golden Bell shattered, Ming King dispersed, and the Cold Silkworm Robe automatically protected its master, forming an ice shield to block this attack.

The shockwave sent Lu Chenzhou flying, hanging on a tree.

With the Ghost Tiger Domineering Body, he wasn’t hurt.

"Even wings could be weapons?" He had underestimated the Third Realm Demon.

That day, the Mantis Demon was killed by Bai Miaomiao, and many moves had no chance to be used.

"Again! Galaxy Falling Nine Heavens!" Lu Chenzhou flicked his spear, soaring into the sky, eyes cold, slashing with the spear!

Buzz! 108 spear shadows appeared out of thin air, falling like a meteor shower.

The Mantis Demon’s blade wings and claw blades swung simultaneously, its form shifting unpredictably, striking the spear shadows away.

Lu Chenzhou seized the opportunity, thrusting the spear downward, diving in for the kill.

"Dusk of the Gods!" The spear descended, immense and majestic, like the heavens collapsing.

The Mantis Demon’s slender limbs shattered, snapping like brittle sticks, juices splattering everywhere.

The spear tore through the demon power barrier, piercing the exoskeleton, and as Lu Chenzhou yanked it out, its soft internal organs were shredded.

"I’ve won." He pulled out the spear, severing the Mantis Demon’s head.

A dim light shot out, piercing his steel-like nape.

In the next moment, a blood hole appeared on Lu Chenzhou’s forehead, his eyes glazed over, and life swiftly faded.

A long, golden snake-like demon wound around him, drilling into his head through the blood hole.

...
