Chapter 948: Chapter 668: Extreme Point, Void-breaking
A High Grade Primordial Stone turned to dust.
Achilles felt the power growth, with lingering fear.
"The laughing old man’s power has grown stronger again, not far from the Third Step. In the Three Thousand Worlds, there are few stronger than him, yet he ranks last among the four guardians of Mo Luo Hall. How strong is the legendary Mo Luo Hall Master? It is said he has become a demigod, but who knows if it’s true."
These criminals are suspected to be the ancient criminals once imprisoned by the Ancient Divine Court, surviving to this day.
The Great Wilderness harbors countless evil people, at its peak the Divine Prison held powerful beings enough to destroy an entire realm.
Though few remain today, those who survive are not weak.
Therefore, the Divine Prison Realm has become a well-known forbidden zone in the Three Thousand Worlds.
Some who offend great powers choose to hide here.
"Lu Chenzhou...it’s all his fault."
The more Achilles thought about it, the more agitated he became, unable to hold back his shouting.
"Long time no see, Achilles, looks like you missed me."
A light chuckle echoed from afar, reaching Achilles in an instant.
The man wore a white robe, young yet seemingly having weathered galactic storms and witnessed the vicissitudes of the Human World.
Achilles rubbed his eyes, then sighed and shook his head, saying, "Have I demonized and encountered an illusion?"
Such things had happened before.
During cultivation, the face of Lu Chenzhou often appeared.
Waking up frightened, drenched in cold sweat, realizing it was an illusion.
Hence he was unfazed by such a sight.
"In my illusion, can you possibly defy me?"
Achilles suddenly stood up, an eighth rank dagger glowing with precious light appeared in his palm, stabbing towards Lu Chenzhou’s chest.
"Die!"
After the clash of metal, the dagger was deflected by the Mystic Sky Shield.
Achilles hit the wall, stars in his eyes looking at Lu Chenzhou before him.
"This time the illusion is strong, seems I’ve demonized further."
He started attacking around Lu Chenzhou like a pecking chick.
After a fierce operation, not a single Mystic Sky Shield was broken.
Achilles began to question his existence, suddenly shivering.
"Lu...Lu Chenzhou?" His pupils dilated like a startled wildcat, yelping before springing into a corner.
"Yes, don’t recognize me?" Lu Chenzhou smiled.
"Why are you in the Divine Prison Realm?" Achilles expressed disbelief.
"Came to see you." Lu Chenzhou pressed down a palm, like the heavens collapsing, a mighty force, unstoppable.
"Don’t kill me, whatever your purpose here, I can guide you!"
At the crucial moment, Achilles knelt to the ground.
Bang, bang, bang!
Three kowtows shook the earth.
"Your response is quite quick, but killing you would still get me the path." Lu Chenzhou didn’t withdraw his palm.
"It’s useless, layers seven, eight, nine are the core of the Divine Prison Realm, to prevent jailbreak, the creator designed arrays that constantly change the terrain, entrance to the next layer always changes, without familiar ones, you’ll be trapped in a giant maze, roaming aimlessly, caught by the strong of Mo Luo Hall. No matter how strong the Alliance Hierarch, a hassle cannot be avoided. In Divine Prison, there are several at the Third Step, a demigod rumored too. If you want to kill me, you can do so when leaving the Divine Prison Realm."
Desperation drove Achilles to show his usefulness with all his might.
Lu Chenzhou thought about the time-consuming process of digesting and seeking memory fragments, was eventually persuaded.
"Swear by the Dao, though you should know your fate."
"I understand, live one more day if I can. This clone was left years ago, even the Forbidden Zone doesn’t know, my true self is dead, the clone grows independently, unrelated to Wu Jue!" Achilles laughed, resigned.
"What’s Mo Luo Hall about? Have you met the Eternal Immortal?" Lu Chenzhou inquired.
"Eternal Immortal...he’s in too? No wonder, heard years ago Mo Luo Hall captured a Second Step outsider, but it’s Mo Luo Hall’s secret, known only by elders above the Eight Realms and the Four Great Guardians. I’m just an edge member, limited knowledge."
Achilles realized, Lu Chenzhou seemed to rescue someone in the Divine Prison Realm.
"Mo Luo Hall so strong, content in such a barren place, why not invade the Three Thousand Worlds?" Lu Chenzhou puzzled.
"They’re ancient criminals, suppressed by Divine Prison rules, many are restored as rules fracture, but core rules remain, they can’t leave, trick outsiders in to either plunder or enslave."
"I see, always heard Divine Prison Realm is a place of grand opportunity, with many fortunes." Lu Chenzhou mused.
"That’s true, many detained here, many before death strive to pass down their supreme skills, I acquired a spear dao secret technique from an Eight Realms human cultivator, named Extreme Point, said to enlighten a profoundly advanced dao, but it doesn’t quite match my Shadow Dao, happy to offer to the master!" Achilles smiled awkwardly, carefully handing a jade scroll to Lu Chenzhou.
His clone isn’t from the Shadow Kill Clan but human.
But with a shadow foundation, he pursues the Shadow Dao.
Lu Chenzhou took the jade scroll, feeling dazed, arriving at the ancient Great Wilderness.
A black armored practitioner with a tall spear surrounded by four towering giants in Divine Court attire.
Black armored practitioner at Second Step, four giants all Second Step.
"Old Devil Nine Extremes, truly bold, killing Bi Fang Divine Son, we’re ordered by the God of Punishment to catch you." the leading giant said.
"That scoundrel Bi Fang Divine Son brought severe drought to my land in Wu Kingdom a thousand years ago, land burned red, countless mortals killed, my parents died in drought, killing in reply is justified, now I’ve achieved cultivation, how could my thoughts not be settled if revenge unmet? Enough talk, fight me, just right to test my spear skill, experience the famed Xingtian Guard’s might."
The black armored practitioner thrust his spear, space shattered.
Four giants’ expressions changed, quickly forming an array.
An array strong enough to resist the strongest strike of the Third Step, yet pierced by this spear.
One giant, his skull penetrated on the spot.
"Hahaha, refreshing." The Black Armored Practitioner fights against four, surprisingly holding his own for a short time.
But eventually, when the Dragon Bo Giant uses the Divine Court’s bestowed Divine Artifact projection, the practitioner fails.
He is captured alive and put in shackles.
"Human, do you know your crime."
Above the Dao Palace, there is a towering headless figure bathed in thunder, its invisible intention watching the practitioner.
"Are you Gan Qi? I do not know my crime."
The Black Armored Practitioner’s forehead veins bulge, resisting this majestic divine power.
What he faces is merely a projection specifically used for judgment by the God of Punishment.
But even the Great Power struggles to endure, not to mention him?
The Great God’s strength far surpasses ordinary divine beings.
"Calling a True God by name, your crime increases, but considering the mistake of Bi Fang’s Divine Son first, the death penalty is exempted, but you cannot escape living punishment, you shall be thrown into the Divine Prison."
In the Divine Prison, the Black Armored Practitioner spends a lifetime.
He cannot cultivate, cannot practice spears, can only think and contemplate the Dao in his mind.
Before dying, he suddenly laughs heartily.
"So this is the ultimate of Penetration Dao... Void-breaking, indeed a perfect match for spear skills, alas, alas..."
He murmurs, eventually dying, leaving only a Jade Scroll.
[You have comprehended "Extreme Point"]
Lu Chenzhou looks at the second-step technique "Extreme Point" that appeared in his mind.
He has some enlightenment, inspired, and begins to practice his spear on the spot.
The Unity of Heaven and Man state accidentally occurs again.
Ahead, Achilles looks absent-minded.
"No wonder I lost..."
His true self is killed by Lu Chenzhou’s sudden enlightenment and breakthrough, the memory is fresh.
"Extreme Point" has nine layers in total, not very difficult for Lu Chenzhou.
The most crucial is the inspiration it provides him.
After finishing a set of spear skills, Lu Chenzhou stands with his spear, gazing at the Martial Arts Tree.
[Extreme Point: Eighth Layer (1%)]
[Penetration Dao has advanced to Void-breaking Dao]
[Void-breaking Dao elevated to Sixth Rank]
[Void-breaking Dao elevated to Seventh Rank]
[Void-breaking: Seventh Rank (13%)]
The effect of Unity of Heaven and Man is still exceedingly miraculous.
At least, it saves him a thousand High Grade Primordial Stones.
"Void-breaking Dao, no wonder the Golden Horned King Beast’s horn is so formidable, it has mastered the Void-breaking Dao."
Lu Chenzhou recalls the battle with the King Beast back then, that horn, too terrifying.
The Mystic Sky Shield couldn’t block it at all.
"It’s not that Yuji Dao isn’t powerful, but Void-breaking Dao is focused to an extreme point, nothing is unbreakable! If practiced to the utmost, even time and space can be penetrated."
This Black Armored Practitioner is truly formidable.
In Lu Chenzhou’s view, Void-breaking Dao is definitely among the top class in Dao.
Not weaker than Causality, Great Dream, and the like.
Most importantly, Void-breaking and spear skills are a perfect pair!
Time was limited, he only grasped some superficial aspects.
In his heart, he already has mature thoughts about transforming the "Martial God Spear" into the second step.
Unfortunately, he presently lacks the time.
He looks at the stunned Achilles: "Take me to the Mo Luo Hall’s higher-ups."
"Master... bluntly speaking, the Eternal Immortal cannot be saved. From what I know, it was the Mo Luo Hall Master who personally captured the Eternal Immortal. Put it simply, among the Four Great Guardians of Mo Luo Hall, at least two are in the Third Step. Although Master is formidable, in the Divine Prison Realm, you may not necessarily defeat them. It’d be better to use the time before Mo Luo Hall discovers, and cultivate for a while. With your monstrous talent, practicing for a few decades will hold hope."
Achilles speaks truthfully.
He truly admires Lu Chenzhou’s talent.
"Then you are useless." Lu Chenzhou raises his hand.
"No, I’ll take you, I just don’t want to see you in peril, though we were once enemies." Achilles is helpless.
Buzz, Lu Chenzhou grabs Achilles, and under his guidance, they vanish from the world.
...
Eighth Layer, a certain Nameless Space.
The Eternal Immortal sits cross-legged as if an old monk in meditation.
In the sky, a vortex appears with a giant star-like face.
The Eternal Immortal looks up at the sky, inquiring: "With your strength, killing me is as easy as a snap of the fingers. Why not give me a swift death?"
Laughter comes from the giant face: "I am waiting for someone."
The Eternal Immortal’s expression changes, then turns somewhat despondent, muttering in their heart.
"Chenzhou, you rascal, do not come."
