Chapter 538: 0348 Great Dark Night Era’s Lamp Holder (4k)_2

The tiger head roared as it flew out, devouring the light along the way, plunging the hearts of all beings into darkness.

"I have finally mastered the basics of the Tiger Subduing Seal, now I have a proper mental attack technique."

Previously, Lu Chenzhou mainly relied on his self-created Mountain God Demon-suppressing Fist·Ascending Building State, burning a large amount of spiritual power, with considerable strength and moderate power.

But compared to the Tiger Subduing Seal, it was far inferior and consumed too much, making it unsuitable for regular attacks.

Later, news came from the Lantuo Temple strategy group.

[Mingxin: A young Living Buddha from Sajia Temple also received the Wu Water Order, it seems he will participate in the trial, his spiritual talent is particularly terrifying, be careful, Chenzhou.]

[Tuo Tian Head Monk: I have also left the isolated island, the old monk has subdued a sea beast, to see if I can find clues about the Hanhai Sect.]

...

Time passed, three months flew by.

By August, the human world was not as scorching hot.

After the Great Catastrophe, aside from some special areas, most places had relatively stable climates, with fewer extreme weather occurrences.

Imperial Capital, Martial Arts Department.

Thirty-six Heavenly Kings from twenty-four top Martial Arts Universities and various sectors gathered for the Heavenly King Conference.

The host was Chen Beiming, head of the Martial Arts Department, known as the "Northern Guardian King", the most prized disciple of the Eternal Immortal.

The Northern Guardian King looked at everyone and said in a heavy tone:

"It has been a year since the Great Catastrophe Era began. The mountain and sea fissures have expanded the human world’s territory nearly tenfold and continue to grow. The good news is that cultivation resources and fertile lands have increased, opportunities abound. The bad news is that much of our technology can’t keep up with these changes, and the [Great Dark Night Era] has silently arrived."

The space and communication distances between base cities have increased. We are gradually returning to the old times, and normal order faces unprecedented challenges. The peace era has covered up much ambition and ignorance. Now that night falls, some people are eager to turn back time, even colluding with cults and Evil God forces!"

Wang Changming nodded, having fought north and south for nearly a year, he felt the same. Amid external crises, internal crises are also brewing. Although the Red Dragon Hall plan is conducted in secret and not known to the public, the Evil Gods are aware and they are spreading rumors through cult members to destabilize Da Xia.

Over the past year, one could often see panic-stricken remarks online.

Such as [Absolute Peak Experts have fled, civilization exists in name only], [Humanity has no future], [The night before the end] and other negative comments.

In this world, with so many people, not everyone can maintain confidence in civilization, and this is human nature.

The Great Catastrophe itself is not frightening, but the arrival of darkness, lawlessness, loss of morale, and internal collapse of civilization is!

Therefore, before the dawn, some iron-fist measures are needed.

The Northern Guardian King continued coldly:

"Without the suppression of Absolute Peak Experts, some vile creatures have already revealed themselves. The next step is to steadily tighten the net. According to President Wan’s instructions, we need to establish the [Night Lamp Holder], the Lamp Holder will report directly to our Heavenly King Committee, acting as enforcers to clean up those betraying civilization and humanity."

Some Heavenly Kings expressed concern: "At this critical juncture, will this be wise?"

The Northern Guardian King said: "Now is precisely the time to scrape the poison from the bone and strike decisively."

Wang Changming said: "I agree with establishing the Lamp Holders. Some people need to be dealt with, and our younger generation, especially the leaders of various schools and future heirs of Taoist Lineages, need to gradually participate in the management of civilization. Otherwise, how can they become the future leaders of civilization?"

Before his disciples, Old Wang was amiable.

But in many matters, Old Wang was considered radical and tough.

The Northern Guardian King said:

"Precisely, the Lamp Holders will be selected from the New Stars of All Nations, Tianchen, Haoyue, and Jiaoyang, assessing not only their strength but also their willpower, determination, and loyalty to civilization. Fence-sitters cannot be entrusted with important tasks and should be eliminated early. Those who excel in assessments and missions will be given priority training, opportunities to enter the [Small Realm] to understand Daoist rules and seek treasures, to become guardians of the human world in the future!"

Daoist Cui Shan nodded:

"Makes sense, we should seize this opportunity to cultivate successors and give the stage to the young."

The Northern Guardian King said:

"That’s right! In fact, with the great network in place, the situation in the human world is easier to control. The most challenging part is the Absolute Peak Experts on expeditions to the Three Thousand Worlds. They have to fight local forces while facing ambushes from enemy Heavenly Realm. Recently, an Absolute Peak Expert’s heart lantern wavered; I suspect it was due to being hunted by the Black Mountain Demon Venerable. We must quickly Breakthrough Seven and proceed to the Three Thousand Worlds to support them, liberate worlds under the Evil God’s control, and delay the revival of forbidden zones!"

Wang Changming pondered: "Opening the Small Realm? Then no matter what, I must ensure that kid Chenzhou is chosen as a Lamp Holder!"

The Small Realm is different from the Three Thousand Worlds and the Great Wilderness.

It is a subsidiary world created by Heavenly Realm cultivators or certain Desolate Gods as they pried open their own Dao paths.

These world coordinates are quite hidden; thus, a significant portion of them was preserved after the war.

Of course, due to the owner’s death, these worlds are on the brink of decline, causing their rules to become somewhat chaotic.

But because they are falling apart, the rules are manifesting, helping martial artists comprehend the most profound and mysterious [Dao] in fist theory.

This year, with the mountain and sea fissures, some exit points set in the Million Mountains and Ruishui River coordinates were also discovered by Da Xia.

The most important is the [Candle Realm], originating from a very powerful Desolate God [Candle], formerly the [Star Lord of Cosmos] in the Divine Court.

He mastered part of the [Time Dao Principle], remnants of which remain in the Candle Realm, making its rules rather special.

Its time flow is different from that of the Three Thousand Worlds and the Great Wilderness!

Using this feature, Da Xia opened a cultivation field in the Candle Realm.

Two days in the Candle Realm equals only one day outside.

This allows those with extended lifespans to accelerate breakthroughs or comprehend difficult cultivation techniques.

Why extended lifespans?

Because your lifespan, within the Candle Realm, follows its time flow. In other words, it’s a cultivation that consumes lifespan...

Additionally, the Candle Realm can no longer withstand the entry of experts above the Heavenly Realm.

Only Sea Realm experts can enter and adapt to the time flow changes.

Otherwise, Da Xia’s Absolute Peak Experts, like the young ones such as Dragon King, could enter it to cultivate and Breakthrough Eighth faster!

The Candle Realm is currently the most unique among the discovered Small Realms.

Other Small Realms also hold considerable opportunities for his disciple Lu Chenzhou.

The opening of the Small Realm made other Heavenly Kings visibly moved, clearly thinking about how to get their juniors to join the Lamp Holders.

Being a Lamp Holder would be a crucial power during the Dark Night Era, enforcers of civilization, able to cut down all evil spirits!

Whether it should be established and how it should be constrained, a host of questions needed consideration. The Heavenly Kings engaged in intense discussion and voting.

Several days later, the [Night Lamp Holder] system was approved and began to be built!

...

Hengduan Mountain Region, familiar strongholds and scenes.

A golden beam shot forth, Lu Chenzhou raised his hands to block his head, donning scale armor, stood firm.

After a dull impact, the golden beam was deflected.

Lu Chenzhou took a few steps back to release force, his expression unchanged, spitting out a Void-breaking Sword Qi.

The golden worm failed to dodge and was struck by the sword qi, with a sharp crack, its tough skin was finally pierced.

Life and Death Qi exploded, the golden worm fell from the sky like a torn rag.

"With the Demon King Set, you still think you can break my defense?"

[Through battle, your proficiency in the "Life and Death Talisman" has increased.]

Recently, this hidden weapon secret technique also broke through to the Fourth Level, with considerable power.

Even a Third Realm early stage cultivator, or even a Middle Stage one, would be severely injured or killed if hit.

This was no mere hidden weapon; it was practically a portable rocket.

After resting for a moment, Lu Chenzhou looked at his phone message, joyful.

"Master has returned!"
