Chapter 956: Chapter 676: United Hearts Under Heaven, Master of All Realms!
Sea of Death, Divine Prison Realm.
A hideous and terrifying giant face struggles, countless chains passing through its seven orifices.
Unwillingness, despair, resentment, Mo Luo Hall Master’s emotions were exceedingly complex.
In the battle with Lu Chenzhou, he witnessed firsthand the dreadful talent of this man.
"Damnable Chaos Spring and Autumn!"
He descended to the Eighth Layer, transforming countless chains to trap Chaos Spring and Autumn in an instant.
"I want to kill you!"
"I am also part of the Divine Prison Realm, part of your body. If you kill me, you might fall from being a demigod."
Chaos Spring and Autumn laughed fearlessly.
Calming down, Mo Luo Hall Master imprisoned Chaos Spring and Autumn in the deepest part of the Divine Prison Realm.
The Great Protector remained trapped here, his face unchanged.
He was merely contemplating, pondering over the "Withering and Flourishing Dao" spoken of by Lu Chenzhou.
He believed that with Lu Chenzhou’s potential, he would soon surpass the Hall Master.
Given his character, he should rescue him out.
"Hall Master, what should be done?" The other protectors were equally confused and fearful.
Having witnessed Lu Chenzhou’s strength, they feared Lu Chenzhou would seek revenge.
"Why panic? As long as I do not die, you will not die. And as long as the Divine Prison Realm remains undying, I am undying as well. Lu Chenzhou and his people want to completely destroy the Divine Prison; even if they ascend as Great Power, they probably cannot achieve it. After all, the Divine Prison is a world created by the God of Punishment... Initially, I intended to refine Lu Chenzhou into my second avatar to roam the Three Thousand Realms. Seeing this is unworkable, I will refine the entire Divine Prison Realm, leaving here in world form, devouring Three Thousand Worlds in the Sea of Ruins, and with the Realm God Body, ascend as a True God," said Mo Luo Hall Master.
Realm God ascending to True God has never occurred.
Choosing the Realm God path meant lifelong achievement halts at demigod.
But the Divine Prison Realm was somewhat special, unlike ordinary Great Worlds.
"Nice thought. If you truly want to try, I can assist you."
Suddenly, a Mo Luo Hall member’s appearance changed, transforming into a benevolent elder wearing a white robe.
...
In the Sea of Ruins.
The Golden Winged Great Peng transformed, landing on the ground.
"Lu Daoist Friend’s transformation divine ability is truly mystical and marvelous, especially transformed King Beast, infinitely close to demigod," said Kunxu.
"No wonder the True Spirit Sect was obliterated by the Divine Court," Star-devouring Sword Demon also sighed with admiration.
Lu Chenzhou cupped his hands in gratitude to Kunxu Ancestor and Star-devouring Sword Demon: "Thank you both for your support."
Venturing into the Divine Prison, such kindness was undeniably great.
Kunxu smiled: "Helping a Daoist Friend is helping myself. Demigod emergence is imminent; without slaying, I cannot calmly pass the Great Power Tribulation."
"I initially went for a fight, but ended up in one-sided beating... The gap between ordinary Third Step and demigod is too vast. Fortunately, I gained from this battle. Once digested, fighting Camilla will certainly surprise you." Star-devouring Sword Demon laughed.
"Camilla?"
"You are not aware. Not long ago, the Ghostly Floating Great World mutated, Mountain and Sea collapsed, rules obliterated. The former Holy Lord’s Divine General, Black Water God, Camilla, is about to be unsealed. I wish to form an action squad consisting of Third Step, taking advantage of these demigods’ freshly emerged and yet unrecovered state to slay them. Rewards gained will be distributed based on our performance, exchanging resources from Mountain and Sea Tower, helping everyone ascend to Great Power soon!"
Kunxu Ancestor said.
Lu Chenzhou’s face was serious.
He had just witnessed the might of demigods.
Moreover, Mo Luo Hall Master hadn’t unleashed full power due to Divine Prison’s rules.
And the thirteen demigods who were suppressed by the Great World surely weren’t weak.
His strength wasn’t enough.
After returning, he had to seize and elevate quickly.
"Better experienced than heard, I didn’t expect to just shut myself away, and such demon evils would emerge from the Three Thousand Worlds."
Sword River Great Saint arrived carrying a black blade, shook hands and smiled at Lu Chenzhou.
"Thank you Sword River Daoist Friend for saving my life."
"You’re welcome; now that great tribulation is imminent, mutual assistance is proper. Wouldn’t you agree, Hei Zhou?"
Sword River Great Saint looked across, Hei Zhou Ancestor stood alone, expressionless.
"I’m leaving. Call me when dealing with Camilla." Hei Zhou rode a Mystic Tiger, leaving the Sea of Ruins.
Lu Chenzhou stared at the Mystic Tiger, seeming that Ninth Rank Wood Whisker Tiger Essence Blood had been refined by this beast.
If there’s an opportunity, he ought to trade a drop with Hei Zhou Ancestor, cultivating transformation divine ability.
Reality proves True Spirit Transformation excels in using weak to overcome strength.
This time transforming King Beast was key to escaping Divine Prison Realm.
"Lu Daoist Friend, what do you think of my proposal?" Kunxu asked.
"I am willing to join."
"Then I will first take leave, Lu Daoist Friend should return quickly. You’ve just taken the Creation Treasure Pill and need to consolidate Qi-Blood."
After some pleasantries among the Great Universe’s top-level experts, they swiftly departed.
Each wore a worried expression.
Demigods are insurmountable chasms in the hearts of countless people.
...
Months later.
Mystic Sky Alliance.
Three figures stood silently there, anxiously waiting.
They were Ice Heart, Green Light, and Golden Realm Venerable.
Once lofty figures, now seemed a bit uneasy.
They had already heard about Lu Chenzhou’s success in breaking out of the Divine Prison Realm, which greatly shocked them.
There have always been rumors that a demigod resides in the deepest part of the Divine Prison Realm, and those who enter face nine deaths and one life.
Judging from the movements within the Divine Prison Realm, the rumors are true.
This means that Lu Chenzhou now possesses the ability to protect himself even in the presence of a demigod.
This made the Three World Venerables more convinced that only by holding onto this support could they survive the imminent Grand Dark Era.
On this day, the three World Venerables gazed towards Gao Tian.
Lu Chenzhou had arrived without them knowing when.
His white robe exuded a battle-hardened, steady aura, as if a mountain standing tall, entirely matching the Third Step.
"Congratulations to Alliance Hierarch Lu on progressing further!"
"Indeed, he is a genius of an age, I knew long ago that Lu Chenzhou was no ordinary person."
"Having Alliance Hierarch Lu is truly a blessing for the Three Thousand Worlds."
The three complimented him.
Though deep down they still looked down on the Human Clan, in front of Lu Chenzhou, they no longer dared to show any disdain.
Lu Chenzhou gazed downward, his tone calm: "Did the three of you seek me for something?"
The Three World Venerables exchanged a glance, and finally, Ice Heart Realm Venerable spoke: "Alliance Hierarch Lu, we agree to the conditions you previously proposed. Please allow us to join the Mystic Sky Alliance. Henceforth, whether it is us three or the Divine Race warriors, we will all follow your command. Give us this opportunity, please."
Lu Chenzhou did not respond.
"Alliance Hierarch Lu has fought all over for the stability of the Three Thousand Worlds. To thank the hierarch for years of hard work, our three clans have gathered some gifts, small in weight but heavy in intent, and hope Alliance Hierarch Lu will accept them," Ice Heart Realm Venerable said with a smile, as three streams of light flew into Lu Chenzhou’s hand.
Lu Chenzhou examined them with his mind.
High Grade Primordial Stones, 100 drops of Heavenly Immortal Dew.
An almost Supreme Treasure, more than thirty Spiritual Weapons, over a hundred Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, exotic minerals.
Total value, over ten thousand High Grade Primordial Stones.
These Divine Race folks, having seized countless resources from the Three Thousand Realms over numerous years, have extremely deep foundations.
This probably isn’t their entire fortune, but it’s significant bleeding for them.
Lu Chenzhou put them away, saying, "Then join the alliance. However, the necessary Dao and Divine Blood Oaths cannot be omitted; everyone must swear."
"Thank you, Alliance Hierarch!" The Three World Venerables slightly bowed their heads, a great weight in their hearts finally lifted.
"Alliance Hierarch Lu, Demigod Camilla is about to be born..." Ice Heart Realm Venerable laughed awkwardly, revealing their true intention.
"I’ll take action," Lu Chenzhou said, then left.
Even if the Divine Race did not look for him, he would act.
If the sky falls, the tallest ones are hit first.
Unless he hides like a mouse, ignoring earthly affairs, and caring not for the fate of Tianxia Civilization.
...
"Long time no see, President," Lu Chenzhou looked at the Eternal Immortal, smiling.
"Thank you for taking the risk," the Eternal Immortal replied.
"Not at all, if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have taken the risk," Lu Chenzhou said.
"Honestly, I knew you would soon surpass me, but I didn’t expect it to happen in such a short few years..." the Eternal Immortal sighed.
"Without the President pioneering the Dao, I wouldn’t have moved so swiftly."
"Hahaha, keep it up, strive to break through Nine faster than the Dragon King!" the Eternal Immortal laughed heartily.
"Now, all that’s left is the Priest. After the Mystic Sky War, he went missing, but the soul lamp remains unextinguished. Does the President have any clues?" Lu Chenzhou asked.
"The Priest carries the inheritance of Yu Sword Immortal, he wouldn’t fall so easily," the Eternal Immortal smiled.
...
Three-inch Cave Heaven.
A magnificent, winding longsword, like a dragon or serpent, stabbed into a multi-colored illusory river, with dense Time Dao Essence flowing around.
An heroic, silver-haired woman’s shadow sat cross-legged by the sword, dangling her feet by the river.
She looked at the bald figure slowly climbing the staircase below and said, "To obtain the [Yu Ming Sword], you must endure the washing of the River of Time. Your Withering Years Dao is only Seventh Rank Late Stage; do not leave here until you advance to the Eighth Rank. The birth of a demigod is imminent, and without Third Step cultivation, if you are discovered by the great enemy I once suppressed, it will be certain death! Wait until you comprehend the Eighth Rank Withering Years, able to move a wisp of the Power of the Time Dao to perform a Time Leap, then you will truly be initiated, and together with the Yu Ming Sword, it will be enough for you to protect yourself before a demigod."
...
Not long after.
The Mystic Sky Alliance announced the joining of the three Divine Races to co-fight against the Evil God!
From this point on, the Eight Great Divine Clans, the Hanhai Sect, the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, Southern Heaven, Beidou, and other top-level forces from the Three Thousand Worlds, formed an alliance.
The goal of a grand unification of the Three Thousand Worlds envisaged by Lu Chenzhou was initially achieved.
Next, it was all about continuously integrating small to medium civilizations and using the Eastern Extreme Border Tower to break down world barriers.
Amongst the Four Great Realms, the East Pole Realm was the strongest, taking the combination of three realms to contend against it.
News spread across the Three Thousand Worlds, leaving countless either shocked or excited.
A new era is dawning.
This is a path many powerful figures once imagined but never realized.
...
In the Ruins Sea, the Clam Girl and Mr. Turtle were wandering around, investigating the conditions of the worlds sealing the demigod.
Upon hearing the news, the Clam Girl sighed with emotion: "The Divine Race can only exert the power of the Eight Great Divine Artifacts when they unite."
"The Three Thousand Worlds need a leader to ensure all forces are united; little junior brother is indeed suitable," Mr. Turtle said.
"Having escaped from under Luo Hou’s grasp, your little junior brother is likely even stronger than you now."
"If little junior brother had been born a thousand years earlier, the entire Great Universe timeline might have been rewritten," Mr. Turtle sighed.
The Clam Girl smiled lightly, "Old Turtle, it’s not too late now."
