Chapter 645: 0401 Grandmaster Lu’s Prestige (Requesting Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

The lake surface returned to calm.

The mist rushed in again.

Lu Chenzhou withdrew his palm, murmuring to himself.

"One Realm Supreme empowered with the King’s Domain, combined with the power of Heaven and Earth, an Initial Realm Demon King couldn’t even withstand my full-force palm strike, too weak. Moreover, since leaving the Candle Dragon Dojo, my World Dao has absorbed some of the Candle Dragon Time Principle’s mysteries, transforming into something even more complex and mysterious, with even more terrifying power."

The power of that palm just now should have surpassed ten thousand cauldrons.

"Damn, Brother Lu?!" Wang Gang opened his eyes, staring at the person in front of him, confirming it was indeed Lu Chenzhou and not a dream.

Lu Chenzhou laughed and said, "Just greeted you, you didn’t respond."

He noticed that during his absence, Wang Gang seemed to have matured significantly and also advanced to become a Martial Arts Master.

Wang Gang bitterly smiled and said, "I thought I was trapped in a Demon King’s illusion; Brother Lu, you’ve been missing too long."

Lu Chenzhou asked, "What year is it today?"

Wang Gang: "January 1, 2240."

Lu Chenzhou nodded: "40 years."

He had entered the Water Mansion in ’32, faced an accident when the trial ended in ’34, and then shortly after, he was sent to the Candle Dragon Dojo, where he began a long retreat.

Unexpectedly, only six years had passed in the outside world.

In human society, his age was exactly 35.

could be seen as his "social age."

In fact, his "psychological age" might be much older than now.

As for his "physiological age," it might still be at the year he disappeared; he didn’t feel any decline in his Qi-Blood.

Humans are social animals, so how old he really is doesn’t matter anymore.

Once he advanced to Great Grandmaster and "Knowing Heaven’s Will," a bone age measurement could reveal his lifespan’s limits.

Wang Gang also felt something was off about Lu Chenzhou: "Brother Lu, you seem unchanged except for having advanced in cultivation."

Lu Chenzhou smiled and said, "Perhaps, after becoming a Grandmaster, one’s mindset becomes younger instead."

Wang Gang suddenly remembered: "Oh right, Brother Lu, there’s another Demon King, we need your help."

He wasn’t sure what realm Lu Chenzhou was currently at, but to annihilate the Snow Domain Demon Banshee Queen, feared in Yun Meng Marsh, with a single palm, he had to be a Heavenly Phenomenon Master.

Without wielding the power of Heaven and Earth, dealing with a Demon King using fists and feet, even if victorious, would require a long and arduous battle.

After all, in terms of physical body, a Demon King is generally stronger than most Inner Boxing Grandmasters.

"Brother Wang, lead the way, I’ll take a look." Lu Chenzhou casually waved his hand, and the Demon King’s remains were collected into his Lighting Order.

After the two left, the young martial artists, who had just thawed from the ice, stared in awe at the towering figure’s back.

"Teacher Wang Gang called that person Brother Lu; was that just Lu Chenzhou?"

"Yaksha Sea Flipping Armor, Myriad Gorges Pine Wind Zither... it must be, unless there’s someone else under that helmet."

"Big news! Lu Chenzhou isn’t dead? What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, he might have gained a blessing in disguise and advanced to Grandmaster."

"This isn’t just any Grandmaster, it’s a Heavenly Phenomenon Master, an ancient Land Immortal, who can wield Heaven and Earth’s power with every move."

"It’s said that the power level of a Heavenly Phenomenon Master is often judged by the grandeur of phenomena when they act, often related to the Grandmaster’s intent. An ordinary Elephant Form Sect Heavenly Phenomenon Master might conjure some lions or tigers, but that person’s phenomenon involved the World Tree, a giant tiger, and even the mythical... Candle Dragon."

...

Boom boom boom!

A three-zhang-tall Inspiration Fish Demon, with golden scaly armor, a fish head, and a human body, wielded a long-handled melon hammer, swinging it impenetrably.

The hammer’s force was like a giant wave, growing more fierce as it progressed.

The overwhelming shadows of the hammer enveloped the woman in silver armor, with a high ponytail, holding a long spear beneath.

The woman, named Yang Hong, was a Grandmaster at Magic Capital University and the person in charge of the Jiangnan Region’s three-school joint training this time.

Unfortunately, during this training, it seemed an insider leaked information, leading to an ambush by two Demon Kings, resulting in numerous casualties.

Yang Hong exhaustively held back the "Devouring Water Demon King," a match for a Heavenly Phenomenon Master, who had already established a Demon Domain.

Her heart was anxious, with no one to hold back the Snow Domain Demon Banshee Queen; she didn’t know how many students had suffered.

The Devouring Water Demon King sneered: "You killed my brother in the past, today is the day our Fish Demon clan seeks revenge."

Its brother had fallen in the Su City defense battle, the Inspiration Demon King!

Yang Hong was one of the Grandmasters who had rushed from Magic Capital University to support Su City back then; it was this woman who ultimately killed its brother.

Their mother was the hidden master behind the scenes in the Jiangnan Region, a descendant of the Spiritual Eye Demon Emperor.

But the Devouring Water Demon King was much stronger than the Inspiration Demon King.

It was born with Five Patterns, had higher talent, and could advance to Great Demon King; after becoming a Demon King, it could wield Heaven and Earth’s power to form the "Demon Domain."

Within the Demon Domain, ordinary human Grandmasters’ power was greatly diminished and couldn’t match it.

Even if a Middle Realm Grandmaster arrived, without mastering the power of the Heavenly Phenomenon, they could barely hold their ground for a while.

Whether one could achieve Unity of Heaven and Man and wield Heaven and Earth’s power was the litmus test of the Four Realms!

Clang clang clang! The hammer and spear collided, Yang Hong’s tiger’s mouth cracked, and blood gushed forth.

"Just hold on a little longer; once Li Minghuang arrives, we’ll join forces to kill this monster."

Li Minghuang, was a Heavenly Pride Grandmaster, long since mastering the power of the Heavenly Phenomenon.

Recently, in the Lu Ming underground palace, he gained fortune and successfully advanced to a Middle Realm Grandmaster.

This Devouring Water Demon King naturally wouldn’t be an opponent.

"Roaring Tides!" On the Devouring Water Demon King’s giant hammer, destructive aura streams circled, crashing down with force.
