Chapter 334: Chapter 309: Ultimate Collision, Entering the Ruins_1
Wu Hao’s body was enveloped by a mysterious black glow, making his robust frame look even more muscular and domineering.
His hair ruffled casually, his eyes razor-sharp, exuding wildness.
Boom!
He stepped forward, splashing water all around. Using the force of that step, Wu Hao lunged at Lu Yan like a bolt of lightning, slashing down his palm like a knife.
A thunderclap strike, earth-shattering.
"True Dragon Nine Strikes."
Lu Yan also promptly unleashed the divine-level martial art. He subtly twisted his body, focusing all his strength into his palm for a fierce strike.
Bang!
The two collided head-on, delivering a heavy blow.
Water mist splashed around, and waves filled the sky.
Both of them faltered, retreating several steps. A common look of solemnity appeared in their eyes.
"Again."
Wu Hao roared, his attack approaching yet again. His fast and varied strikes with palm, fist, or finger held a force that was earth-shattering.
A typical seventh-refined True Body would be blown apart with just one random strike from him.
"The Martial God’s Secret of Shengwu Sect is indeed well-deserved."
Lu Yan thought to himself.
The Shengwu Sect’s technique, known as the Martial God’s Secret, changes and unpredictably shifts. Its most terrifying aspect is that it can enhance oneself, elevating personal combat power to a terrifying level, with every strike potentially earth-shattering.
Its direct attack power is extremely horrifying.
On the other hand, the True Dragon Nine Strikes also excels at directly killing enemies. Naturally, Lu Yan would not shy away and directly confronted his opponent, deploying the full might of the True Dragon Nine Strikes.
Boom Boom Boom!
Air currents howled, dragon roars echoed, and the two moved extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they exchanged over twenty moves, and Lu Yan gradually gained the upper hand.
Wu Hao’s face grew increasingly solemn and unappealing.
Being at the same True Body Seventh Refinement level, he was unexpectedly losing.
This was unprecedented, at least within the Shengwu Sect. No one has ever been able to match him.
In private, he had sparred with several genius individuals who were good friends with the Shengwu Sect, and this situation had never occurred. A battle at the same level would at most result in a draw.
Although he was reticent, he was incredibly proud. Now, his pride had been challenged, and this caused him to harbor murderous intentions.
Boom!
Suddenly, Wu Hao’s momentum surged, his attack power spiked, and he landed a blow that forced Lu Yan to retreat rapidly.
"True Body Eight Refinement, Wu Hao has indeed reached True Body Eight Refinement."
"At the same level, he was actually losing. He’s forced to exhibit all his powers in battle, which is quite rare."
"That Lu Yiming must also be a genius secretly nurtured by some great feudal prince. He’s truly powerful. What martial art does he use? I’ve never seen it before."
"Just like a flood dragon striking, I’ve never seen it."
The surroundings immediately erupted in a wave of discussion.
Wu Hao unleashed the power of True Body Eight Refinement, his eyes cold as a beast, his aura reaching its peak. With a powerful stomp, he charged at Lu Yan with full power and delivered a punch.
In order to save face, he intended to defeat Lu Yan within three moves.
Facing the Wu Hao of True Body Eight Refinement, Lu Yan dared not underestimate him. With a flicker of thought, the True Dragon War Body erupted, and scales began to climb the surface of his skin.
After the fusion of nine different body refining martial arts, the True Dragon War Body was noticeably distinct from the Tian Gang Red Dragon Body. Although it retained the scales, their color had changed, and his body didn’t swell up like an anthropomorphic dragon.
In one breath, Lu Yan pushed the True Dragon War Body to the fifth layer.
Bang!
The two clashed once again, causing a huge explosion at the center of the lake. The lake water within a radius of a hundred meters, with them at its center, evaporated completely, revealing the bottom of the lake.
After that, both of them retreated at the same time.
The difference was that Lu Yan only retreated three steps, while Wu Hao retreated seven steps.
"Impossible."
Wu Hao shouted in his mind, finding it hard to accept.
Because he realized that Lu Yan was still at True Body Seventh Refinement, and not at his level which was True Body Eight Refinement.
That is to say, he had unleashed his True Body Eight Refinement, but he was still at a disadvantage. Someone was able to fight across levels. This was an even bigger blow than before.
His eyes reddened, his long hair flew up, and his killing intent greatly increased. He attacked Lu Yan fiercely.
Lu Yan counterattacked, and the two engaged in a deadly fight. In a blink of an eye, thirty moves had passed.
It had to be said that Wu Hao was extremely strong.
The Martial God’s Secret had likely been cultivated up to the third level. But, with just the Martial God’s Secret alone, he couldn’t be this powerful.
The grade of his True Body definitely surpassed that of an ordinary King’s True Body. Even compared to Lu Yan, he wouldn’t be much different.
Taking Fang Xuansha as an example, if he and Wu Hao were at the same level, he certainly wouldn’t be Wu Hao’s opponent, and the gap would even be quite wide.
Lu Yan was confident that he could beat Fang Xuansha across two levels, but he couldn’t do the same to Wu Hao.
Compared to Wu Hao, Lu Yan’s biggest advantage was the True Dragon War Body.
The True Dragon War Body and the True Dragon Nine Strikes complemented each other, their power multiplied when combined.
After more than a dozen moves, there was a cracking sound, and Wu Hao retreated rapidly. A claw mark appeared on his chest, almost tearing off a large piece of flesh and skin.
"Brother Wu, you’ve lost."
Lu Yan said.
"It was just a slight carelessness. How could it be counted as a loss? Let’s go again."
Wu Hao’s eyes were cold and fierce as he charged forward, launching a flurry of frantic attacks.
"This guy seems reticent, but his heart is small and narrow-minded. He’s far inferior to Ji Wuxiu."
Lu Yan’s eyes also cooled down.
His hand, shaped like a dragon’s claw, struck out through the air.
Bang, bang!
After two strikes, Wu Hao staggered back. Lu Yan followed with a stride, launching a move from the True Dragon Nine Strikes—the God Dragon Tail Swing.
Of course, he did not have a tail, he used his leg instead.
Wu Hao shouted lowly, light shining from his abdomen, and a suit of armor emerged, covering his entire body.
This was not a spiritual treasure, but his divine manifestation.
With the support of the armor, Wu Hao’s strength noticeably increased again and he launched a counterattack.
Both of them fought with brute force and turned various parts of their bodies into weapons, constantly colliding.
The spectators around were dazzled and called out in excitement.
This was martial arts, the extreme combat power pursued by martial cultivators, without many extravagant tricks, but powerful offensive power.
As soon as one move was launched, mountains fell apart and rocks shattered in shock.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
The two of them exchanged blows, from the surface of the lake to the sky, and from the sky to the ground.
Roar!
The sound of dragon’s chant echoed in Wuzu Garden, Lu Yan raised his True Dragon War Body to the sixth level, and his combat power increased again.
Bang!
A blow from his elbow, like the horn of a true dragon, knocked Wu Hao back a hundred meters. Even with the armor protecting his body, he still coughed up a large mouthful of blood, his face pale.
Lu Yan swiftly followed up and launched a chain of attacks. Three consecutive strikes hit the same spot, causing Wu Hao to retreat a thousand meters again and continue to cough up blood.
"Wu Hao, do you still want to fight?"
Said Lu Yan.
If it weren’t for the public gaze and the consideration of the hidden Primordial Spirit masters of Shengwu Sect, Lu Yan would have wanted to kill this man because he clearly had a killing intent towards him.
Wu Hao’s eyes flickered, then he said, "You won, I, Wu Hao, am willing to accept defeat. I will have the map copied for you."
After saying that, Wu Hao returned to his seat, instructed the painter to copy the map, and then took a Martial Pill to heal his injuries.
"Since Brother Wu is injured, let’s eat and drink first. We will continue when Brother Wu’s injuries are stable."
Said Ji Wuxiu.
Everyone ate and drank, chatted with each other, but more eyes kept sweeping towards Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.
Some even came to toast, wanting to make friends with Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.
Although the Ji Family and Shengwu Sect are powerful, those present are from large forces and feudal princes, they are not afraid to offend the Ji Family and Shengwu Sect.
Even Xiang Chongyang came over to toast, he probed with a question, but Lu Yan vaguely evaded it with an excuse.
"Brother Lu, Miss Zhao, both of your strengths are truly admirable. I, Zuo Yun, really didn’t misjudge you, you are truly the dragons and phoenixes among people."
Zuo Yun came to toast with a drink.
"Brother Zuo’s words are too kind."
Lu Yan raised his glass in response.
"It seems that I will have to disguise myself again."
Lu Yan thought to himself.
Otherwise, he might be easily targeted by the Shengwu Sect or other large forces.
Not long afterward, the map was copied and delivered to Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.
With the maps obtained, the two had no interest in staying any longer. They stood up, said goodbye, and left Wuzu Garden. They then found a place to disguise themselves and changed their appearance. They found another inn to stay in.
In the room, the map was spread out.
There were a total of five maps.
Not all maps could be connected together. There are a few maps that are not continuous, scattered in different areas of the Tongtian ruins.
The largest two maps, namely those from the Ji Family and the Shengwu Sect, however, could be connected together and have overlapping areas.
The two spent a day sorting out the maps, eliminating overlapping areas, and marking key areas.
For example, extremely dangerous areas, which they certainly want to avoid.
There are also dangerous areas that could potentially have opportunities. There are two of these.
And then there are the places where the Immortal Demon Fruits grew three hundred years ago, there are three of these, and these are definitely the first areas they want to explore after entering the Tongtian ruins.
With preparations ready, they quietly waited for the time to come.
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, in front of a large canyon on the south side of the Tongtian ruins, the crowd was as dense as a sea.
Of course, not everyone planned to enter the Tongtian ruins. Most of them were there to watch the bustle.
Above the high altitude, stood dozens of figures with intimidating auras.
These were all the strong people of the Primordial Spirit Realm, and all were above the fourth stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
They couldn’t enter the Tongtian ruins, so they stood here to greet the geniuses under their command.
Time gradually passed, and soon it was nearing noon.
"Look, the light of the devouring god is weakening."
Suddenly, someone yelled.
Without him yelling, everyone saw it.
The light of the devouring god that enveloped the surroundings of the Tongtian ruins was constantly dimming. In the end, only a faint layer remained.
Especially the light of the devouring god above the large canyon, which was rapidly receding, and in the end, it almost completely disappeared without a trace.
"The light of the devouring god has disappeared, you all can enter, but remember, according to past experience, you only have two months’ time. After two months, the light of the devouring god will rise again. Those who do not come out by then will lose their lives and their paths."
A voice came from high above.
It should come from the strong men of the World Bank.
Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
Immediately, some people utilized their body skills and rushed into the large canyon, disappearing from everyone’s sight.
Seeing that the people in front had no accidents, more people rushed in.
The Ji Family, Shengwu Sect, Tianque Sect, Mansion of King Ming, and so on.
"Let’s go."
Lu Yan said to Shen Yinuo, and the two of them utilized their body skills, mixed among the crowd, and entered the large canyon.
