Chapter 488: Chapter 243: Mental Realm Map! Lu Sheng’s Shock! The Supreme Great Grandmaster Has Fallen!
Gao Yao looked at Lu Sheng beside him and said with a smile.
Lu Sheng gave a slight smile but did not speak, simply observing the situation around him.
As the merchant caravan moved deeper into the center of Xiangyang City, Lu Sheng noticed that the figures of martial artists became more frequent.
From time to time, he saw a few martial artists walking in the street with their arms around each other, whispering to each other.
"Hey, have you heard? The Supreme Great Grandmaster of the Martial Alliance plans to break the heavenly suppression ten days from now, seeking a chance of survival for all martial artists in the world!"
"I’ve heard. It’s happening outside the palace in ten days. All martial artists can go observe at that time!"
"Gasp! A breakthrough by the Supreme Great Grandmaster... I wonder if he’ll succeed this time. If he does, perhaps our situation will reverse."
As voices echoed through the streets, Gao Yao also heard these words. He was initially stunned, then looked at Lu Sheng with a cheerful smile.
"Brother Lu Sheng, you’re in luck. Just as we’ve arrived in Xiangyang City, you’ll get to witness the breakthrough of a Supreme Great Grandmaster."
The other martial artists around also responded with smiles.
Lu Sheng’s eyebrows raised slightly, recalling the scene he had just sensed.
"Ten days later, huh..."
"Alright, I’ll wait these ten days. Maybe I’ll perceive something different from him!"
Lu Sheng smiled slightly, then returned with Gao Yao to the place where they were staying.
As accompanying martial artists of the caravan, Gao Yao and his group held high status, and it was easy for them to arrange accommodation for Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng didn’t decline, instead observing the "Flowing Water Intent Technique" while waiting for time to pass.
The ten days passed swiftly.
On this day, just as Lu Sheng awakened from his observations, he heard Gao Yao’s excited voice outside.
"Brother Lu Sheng, today is the day the Supreme Great Grandmaster attempts his breakthrough. Let’s hurry and get there early, to secure a good spot for observation!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng smiled slightly, exited the room, and went with Gao Yao and the others to outside the palace.
Though they arrived quite early, outside the palace was already packed with countless martial artists.
Fortunately, as martial artists, their eyesight far surpassed that of ordinary people. Even from a distance, they could see an elder in white, seated quietly at the center of a plaza outside the palace.
Around the elder... were the two Great Grandmaster powerhouses Lu Sheng had sensed earlier, sitting at the ready, protecting him!
Lu Sheng stood quietly beside Gao Yao, waiting.
As time passed, a more powerful aura emanated from the elder in white, and this aura...
Was unmistakably the embryonic form of True Intent, gradually moving toward completeness.
"Is he about to perfect his True Intent?"
Lu Sheng’s eyes also showed a trace of anticipation, for besides that seventh-level Cosmic Life detected by Star River University, there were only three Supreme Great Grandmasters in this world.
In fact, Lu Sheng also wanted to see what the Three Tribulations of this system would be like.
"He’s going to breakthrough! The Supreme Great Grandmaster is going to breakthrough!"
As the aura grew stronger, the surrounding martial artists also looked at the elder in white, their eyes filled with excitement.
The two Great Grandmasters beside the elder in white appeared noticeably more nervous, with one of them uttering in a low voice.
"Silence!"
A powerful aura surged out, instantly silencing the surroundings.
Immediately after, everyone’s gaze was once again focused on the Supreme Great Grandmaster.
They saw the elder in white suddenly open his eyes, and an aura like an erupting volcano burst forth from within him.
"Today... I will test the might of the heavens!"
The elder in white let out a low voice, stepped forward, and instantly stood mid-air. As he moved, a terrifying power erupted forth.
In Lu Sheng’s perception, this power... had already reached the pinnacle of level six.
"Still only at the peak of level six? Trying to shake the heavens with a level six pinnacle’s power... is impossible!"
Lu Sheng furrowed his brow slightly and spoke softly.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Sheng’s words fell, the elder in white’s attack landed on the celestial dome.
At that moment when everyone anticipated the elder would eradicate the heavenly barrier, his body suddenly trembled, as if afflicted by some injury.
Immediately after...
A mouthful of blood spewed forth, and the elder’s figure plummeted, his aura rapidly weakening. His flesh began to shrink visibly, like a withering flower.
"Alliance Leader!!"
The two protective Great Grandmasters saw this, their expressions shifting, and they quickly caught the elder in white. But when they sensed his aura, their faces fell.
For...
The elder’s aura had completely vanished.
Life force obliterated!
"Alliance Leader!!"
The two Great Grandmasters’ pupils turned scarlet in an instant.
The countless martial artists around were also dumbfounded at this scene. They hadn’t expected the leader of the Great Qin Martial Alliance, the hope of all martial artists, to meet such an end.
Still... unable to break the heavenly seal!
A sense of despair, following the elder’s death, began to spread slowly among the crowd.
