Chapter 578 - 262: You Don’t Have What It Takes; I’ve Done This Question Before_2

So, facing these cultivators of the Immortal Dao Alliance now, what level is my own strength at?

That Saint Venerable Heng Ru seems no less formidable than the battle projections left by those ascension cultivators before their ascension!

Truly exciting.

And this incomplete version of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Demon Slaying Array...

Hmm, I’ve already done the past papers of the Void Dragon Realm’s "Three Hundred Years Ascension, Five Hundred Years Cultivation," I wonder how much power this remnant array of the Immortal Dao Alliance can truly showcase?

Lu Wenwu displayed a sunlit and cheerful sneer, beckoning with a finger in the direction of Box No. 1.

"You, come over here!"

"This child is simply audacious! He doesn’t regard us at all, openly provoking us!"

Inside Box No. 1, Celestial Sword Venerable, already in swordsman mode, cursed angrily, his longsword in his arms bursting into bright sword murmurs.

"How long do we have to wait? Is it this slow?"

"Soon, soon. The array map we’ve cobbled together isn’t complete, the missing parts were barely patched by the Five Elements Array Venerable leading other array masters, it hasn’t been tempered in real battle, there’s a huge performance difference compared to the original."

Saint Venerable Heng Ru glanced at Lu Wenwu, whose eyes were filled with battle intent, suddenly feeling something was off.

This kind of battle intent... was too pure.

Pure killing intent, pure battle intent.

Lacking the brutality of a demon cultivator, even less the madness of one.

It was a state naturally emerging after being driven and dominated by power and liberated nature, impossible to effectively conceal?

And Lu Wenwu lacked all of this.

What is he doing now?

He’s even waiting for the Immortal Dao Alliance to leisurely transfer unrelated people out of Celestial Secret City!

Is this something a demon cultivator would do!?

That unique "aura" unique only to those who become demon cultivators, which even Bone Transformation Technique can’t hide.

If not for confirming that the tall and sturdy youth before them was actually the Violent Dragon Demon Venerable, Saint Venerable Heng Ru would suspect he was a naturally born Dao Body secretly cultivated by an Immortal Sect.

This state akin to an Innocent Heart, what a good seed for Enlightenment Dao?

This kind of purity, this kind of determination, is almost a guarantee for becoming an ascension-ready immortal seed!

But now, he’s being called the Violent Dragon Demon Venerable.

Saint Venerable Heng Ru couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the brush in his hand.

After serving as the alliance leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance for so many years, this was the first time he doubted his own judgment.

"Violent Dragon Demon Venerable, is this truly you, or just the you that you wish to show to the outside world?" he wondered internally, "Is it genuine, or is it arrogance?"

As if unable to withstand Lu Wenwu’s challenging and scorching gaze, Saint Venerable Heng Ru turned his head, only to meet Void Buddha Venerable’s eyes head-on.

Their gazes crossed, each reading something in the other’s eyes.

No need for spoken conversation, like two old foxes, they both understood what the other was thinking.

’The Violent Dragon Demon Venerable has issues, not like a demonic cultivator.’

At this moment, the last group of unrelated cultivators inside Celestial Secret City was finally transferred out, completely sealing the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Demon Slaying Array.

The bowstring was drawn, with no turning back.

No matter if there are hidden stories behind the Violent Dragon Demon Venerable, the fact that he gravely injured Mo Lu True Venerable and killed Destiny True Venerable, Flashing Light True Venerable, and Celestial Star Child is undeniable.

There must be a resolution to this.

"Suppress!"

Saint Venerable Heng Ru splashed his brush with vigor, writing out a dragon-and-phoenix-dancing "suppress" in the air.

The character suddenly transformed into an invisible suppressive force, pressing violently in Lu Wenwu’s direction.

His action served as a signal, as the remaining eight late-stage Divinity Transformations acted in unison, unleashing their skills towards Lu Wenwu with ferocity.

"Amitabha Buddha."

Void Buddha Venerable, eyes filled with compassion, performed a Buddhist salute with one hand, holding a wholly purple-golden colored Buddha’s alms bowl in the other.

"Apologies, benefactor."

As the old monk recited scriptures, the Merit Power around him agitated, birthing a misty golden light.

The purple-golden Buddha’s alms bowl flew from his grasp, transforming rapidly into an upside-down mountain, overturning towards Lu Wenwu.

With hair and beard like snow, Infinite Sword Venerable, and Celestial Sword Venerable, donned in a tattered Taoist robe, both radiated bursting Sword Intent, as if they were transformed into flying swords shooting out.

These two peerless sword cultivators, standing on the pinnacle of the human world through Sword Dao, joined forces with resentment, their sharp Sword Intent seemingly about to destroy everything around.

The remaining sword light alone tore the solid auction venue apart from the center, rushing towards Lu Wenwu with an earth-splitting momentum.

"Indeed, these fellows have gotten smarter."

Feeling the suppressive force on him strengthened by two gradients, Lu Wenwu sighed softly, dragon scales appearing over his body.

The Dragon Race is highly resistant to many spells.

After successfully condensing the Purgatory Dragon Body, even in human form, he could gain such strong, unreasonable immunity as long as parts of his body grew out.

In this way, the effect of the triple suppression diminished rapidly, weakening directly.

"Starting with a No-Fly Talisman to block movement, Small Shifting Talisman and Flame Burst Talisman as a probe. Control + attack + assist, a standard Talisman Cultivator opening, seems like the opening method of Talisman Cultivators hasn’t changed much in ten thousand years."

He shifted half a step sideways, two streams of light attacking from tricky angles.

Two Tier Five Talismans grazed past him colliding into the ground behind, unleashing earth-shattering sounds, terrifying two bird demon beasts into a near fainting spell.

Without the need for eyes to observe, Lu Wenwu punched towards the left rear.

"Clang!"

The metallic clash resounded, a Bronze Cauldron with two ears and four legs coming through the air was flung away, flying back at an even quicker pace.

A faint impression of a fist appeared on the cauldron’s body.

A ring of inscriptions flickered faintly, as if the cauldron, tethered by an invisible string, drew a large circle in the air, with a tendency to hammer back again.

"The Alchemy Cultivator’s combat method hasn’t changed much in ten thousand years, using an already refined to the extreme life-bound Alchemy Furnace to directly collide with the opponent, using it as a Meteor Hammer."

Lu Wenwu twisted his body again, dodging three talismans shooting out in a triangle formation at an unbelievable angle.

Opening his mouth, Purgatory Dragon Flame shot out, arrowing towards the center of the triangle array.

In an instant, an invisible talisman exploded, taking three remaining talismans with it into dust amidst the flames.

"Invisible talisman? Even these obscure methods are mastered? But it has little impact, I’ve done real questions!"

Lu Wenwu effortlessly and smoothly dodged attack after probing attack, sneering as he swung his fists, confronting the two Sword Venerables concurrently.

An Endless Sea of Blood materialized suddenly, descending like a mountain of corpses and blood.

His aura skyrocketed in an instant.

Demon Saber clashed with the sword light, the piercing screeching sound from the collision shredded the air.

Exploding Sword Qi and fracturing sword light shot in all directions, the surging shock wave destroying and devouring every human-made object in its path.

The formerly luxurious auction hall was instantly shredded, the structure-supporting beams shattered by the residual power, making the lofty building several tens of meters tall collapse in ruins in the first assault wave.

The figures of the two Sword Venerables appeared in mid-air, stabilizing themselves with flying swords, moving so synchronously they seemed like one.

Infinite Sword Venerable’s hair and beard were shredded unknowably, with more blood marks added to the white robe.

Celestial Sword Venerable’s Taoist robe turned entirely into a beggar’s garb, the right sleeve vanished completely, appearing even more destitute than a beggar.

From the explosion’s center, Lu Wenwu stood proudly in the Endless Sea of Blood, dragon scales on his body showing faint cracks, yet his aura rose instead of waning.

In merely half a breath, his injuries vanished, morphing back into resplendent blood-golden shimmering dragon scales.

He raised his head towards the nine great Divinity Transformations, trapped in extreme shock, raising his fist with a sneer.

"I can do this all day."
