Chapter 637: Chapter 612 Lu Ming Battles the Strong
"Father-in-law, do you think I would perish in battle so easily after you have known me for so many years? Since I stayed behind, I have some level of certainty. However, to defeat the Primordial Ancestor, we are not nearly strong enough. We need greater power, especially that of Lu Yan."
As he said this, Lu Ming’s gaze turned to Lu Yan and he continued, "Lu Yan, you are our hope. Therefore, you must break through to the True One State, but simply breaking through isn’t enough. You must enter the Chaos Void and find the Locking Heaven Ring, only then can we confront the Primordial Ancestor."
The Locking Heaven Ring!
Everyone was shocked at the mention.
Because the Locking Heaven Ring was the second-ranked supreme treasure on the Supreme True Treasure List.
Like the Creation Whip, it was also just a legend, never obtained by anyone before.
The reason for such a ranking came from the legends passed down by the Origin Dynasty.
"The Creation Whip is in the hands of the Primordial Ancestor, and to defeat him, we first need to counter the Creation Whip. Only the Locking Heaven Ring can do this. We have received information that the Locking Heaven Ring is within the Chaos Void. We no longer have the time to search for it; this responsibility can only fall on you."
"Father-in-law, although the boundless starry sky has become a region of decaying magic, the Chaos Void still allows for cultivation. To escort so many people into the Chaos Void, only a True One can do it. Father-in-law, this responsibility can only fall on you," said Lu Ming.
Seeing Tang Feng still with a stern face, Lu Ming went on, "Think about Xiao Qing, Nian Jun, and the people of God Wasteland. If you don’t take them away, they will die here. Only if you leave first and become stronger, finding the Locking Heaven Ring later, can there be hope."
These words finally moved Tang Feng, who sighed and said, "But the Chaos Void has its own consciousness. Any being who has reached the third step of creation or higher will be attacked upon entering. Even if I manage to send you in, I fear you won’t be able to stay for long..."
Lu Yan, Ye Qing, and the others also considered this problem.
It’s alright for those below the third step of creation, but those above will face rejection and attacks from the Chaos Void.
The attack of the Chaos Void is extremely terrifying, uncomfortable even for a True One.
Previously, the reason was unknown, but now it’s understood that the Chaos Void consists of the negative emotions, murderous intent, and destructive forces leftover from the attacks the middle-aged man suffered, which is quite astonishing.
If even a True One finds it tough, it goes without saying for those at the third step of creation.
However, if they were to stay in the boundless starry sky, they would face a decline in their cultivation, and their cultivation level would regress, ultimately still leading to death.
"Don’t worry, I’ve prepared for this."
Lu Ming smiled and waved his hand. A scroll appeared before him.
"This is the Yin Yang Qiankun Mother-Child Chart, ranked fourth among the Supreme True Treasures. It contains endless universes. If you hide inside, you can avoid detection by the Chaos Void and not be attacked."
"Moreover, the Yin Yang Qiankun Mother-Child Chart consists of the mother chart and nine sub-scrolls. As long as you are covered by a sub-scroll, even those at the third step of creation or a True One can travel freely within the Chaos Void without being attacked."
Having said that, Lu Ming handed the scroll to Tang Feng.
"No, such an important treasure should be kept by you. That way, you have a better chance of resisting the Primordial Ancestor," said Tang Feng.
"Don’t worry, we have better treasures," Lu Ming replied with a smile.
Tang Feng’s eyes flickered.
This youngster had hidden deep; he was unaware of many things.
"Alright."
In the end, Tang Feng nodded and took the Yin Yang Qiankun Mother-Child Chart.
"Brother Tang, we entrust our families and disciples to you," said Yin Xiantian and The Ruler of Desolate Heaven one after another. Then, countless beings flew out from their bodies and headed toward Tang Feng.
Tang Feng expanded his inner world and received these beings into it.
Afterward, Tang Feng, Ye Qing, and others joined forces to take most of the beings within Dragon Emperor City and the Dragon Alliance Territory into their inner worlds.
"Lu Ming, remember, you must survive. In the future, we will fight side by side and eradicate our strong enemies," Tang Feng said earnestly to Lu Yan.
"Father-in-law, rest assured, I promise you," Lu Ming replied with a relaxed smile.
Being resolute, once Tang Feng made a decision, he would not hesitate. After bidding farewell to Lu Ming, he turned and walked away, crossing the Wild Ocean, disappearing into the boundless starry sky.
Lu Ming, Yin Xiantian, and The Ruler of Desolate Heaven came to the boundary between Origin and the starry sky, stood shoulder to shoulder, blocking the passage to the starry sky, closed their eyes to gather their spirits, quietly waiting for the war to come.
...
In the Origin Imperial Capital,
As the Primordial Ancestor merged with Yuan Tiandao, the energy, principles, and profound meanings of laws in heaven and earth gathered towards him at an astonishing rate.
His aura became more potent, and the cultivation environment of the Origin Continent deteriorated remarkably fast.
"At such a time, you still think of saving people."
The Primordial Ancestor opened his eyes, his gaze cold and merciless. He shook his soul, and his voice transmitted, "You all, go and kill the three Lu Yan. Bring me their heads."
"Yes!" replied the Immortal Ancestor and Holy Ancestor, among others.
A struggle appeared in the Emperor of the Nine Worlds’ eyes, but was soon replaced by cold detachment, as he accepted the command along with Immortal Ancestor and the rest.
Nine mighty True Ones tore through the void, charging towards the three Lu Ming.
"They’re here."
At the boundary between Origin and the starry sky, Lu Ming opened his eyes, seemingly piercing through infinite space, and saw nine figures rushing towards them at an incredible speed.
Boom, boom, boom...
The space exploded, and the nine figures appeared; some were colossal, towering as if they reached the sky. Their terrifying aura rolled towards Lu Ming and the other two like a tsunami.
"I’ll take on the Emperor of the Nine Worlds," said Yin Xiantian, raising his hands and unleashing a beam of Innate Supreme Divine Light at him.
The Emperor of the Nine Worlds, fearless, brought out a Supreme Treasure and engaged in an intense battle with Yin Xiantian.
"Kill Lu Ming first, then Yin Xiantian and The Ruler of Desolate Heaven."
The Immortal Ancestor let out a long howl, transformed into a nine-headed Qilin, and pounced toward Lu Ming. As he pounced, a huge cauldron flew out, larger than the stars themselves, and struck Lu Ming with a bang.
Lu Yan’s fingers turned into a gun and he pointed it out.
With a thud, the cauldron was sent flying back.
But the attacks of others had also arrived.
The Holy Ancestor summoned the Holy Wheel while the Light Clan Imperial Ancestor brought forth the Holy Light Divine Sword.
"Limitless!"
Lu Ming whispered, his fingers flicked continuously, and countless spears of light burst forth. These spears of light turned into numerous divine dragons and, in an instant, hundreds of divine dragons collided with the two Supreme Treasures, preventing them from advancing a single step.
"Don’t hold back; kill him with all your might."
The Immortal Ancestor roared. His body radiated astonishing light, and patterns began to converge on him.
He was gathering strength, preparing to unleash his Supreme Law, the Ten Thousand Universe Immortal Diagram.
"Holy Kingdom."
The Holy Ancestor was the first to release his Supreme Law. A huge kingdom emerged out of nowhere, enveloping Lu Yan, with one hundred and eight deities inside pouncing toward Lu Ming.
Last time, there were only one hundred and seven deities in the Holy Ancestor’s Holy Kingdom, but now there was one more, making a total of one hundred and eight.
And the additional deity bore the unmistakable likeness of the Dark Emperor.
In the end, the Dark Emperor had died at his hands in the Black Well.
This made his Holy Kingdom even more terrifying than before.
"Primordial Divine Light."
At the same time, the Light Clan Imperial Ancestor also released his Supreme Law.
A divine light, supremely sharp, finally turned into a long spear, thrusting toward Lu Ming.
The dazzling light seemed to become the only thing in the world, overpowering everything. Even a True One couldn’t open their eyes in its presence, and even Spiritual Sense could only see a blinding light, unable to make out anything else.
"Ten Thousand Universe Immortal Diagram."
At that moment, the Immortal Ancestor also launched his strongest attack. Multiple diagrams transformed into layer upon layer of worlds, pressing down on Lu Yan.
It was as if a myriad of worlds were bearing down, annihilating everything.
"Soul Snatch!"
At the same time, a terrifying soul force invaded Lu Ming’s sea of consciousness, attempting to strip away and control his soul.
The Soul Ancestor of the Ancestral Soul Clan.
The four mighty beings attacked together, their coordination seamless.
The Holy Ancestor used the Holy Kingdom to seal and control Lu Ming, the Soul Ancestor took control of Lu Ming’s soul, and the Immortal Ancestor and the Light Clan Imperial Ancestor launched a frontal assault.
If it were any other True One, this strike would have either killed or severely wounded them.
But unfortunately for them, Lu Ming was not like other True Ones.
Roar!
Lu Ming’s soul transformed into a divine dragon as tall as the sky, letting out a dragon’s roar.
The dragon’s roar shook the heavens, and the soul force that the Soul Ancestor had sent into his sea of consciousness exploded and dissipated.
Lu Ming reached out with his right hand, and from above The sky’s Vault, a Magic River swooped down, turning into a matchless long spear and stabbing down toward the Holy Kingdom.
But a figure appeared beneath the spear.
This man was burly and majestic in appearance, with an imposing and compelling presence, none other than the current Origin Sovereign of the Origin Dynasty.
He held a war sword in his hand and with one strike he blocked the descending spear.
"Come."
Lu Ming uttered a low cry, and suddenly, several more Magic Rivers pounced down from The sky’s Vault above, all turning into long spears that thrust downward.
Lu Ming himself radiated an exceedingly sharp aura, becoming one with his spear as he soared up into the sky.
Boom!
The first to be vanquished was the assault from the Light Clan Imperial Ancestor, shattered by Lu Ming.
Afterward, Lu Ming, in conjunction with the spears formed from the Magic Rivers, pierced through the Holy Kingdom, shattered the Ten Thousand Universe Immortal Diagram of the Immortal Ancestor.
The Immortal Ancestor, Holy Ancestor, Soul Ancestor, and Light Clan Imperial Ancestor, four formidable opponents, retreated simultaneously.
Disbelief colored their faces.
The most powerful strike they had launched together was broken by Lu Ming.
How could this be possible?
How could Lu Ming be so strong?
Last time, the Immortal Ancestor, the Holy Ancestor, and the Dark Emperor together could already contend with Lu Ming. Although the Dark Emperor was not present now, the Light Clan Imperial Ancestor’s strength was not in the least bit inferior to the Dark Emperor’s.
And with the Soul Ancestor and even the Origin Sovereign ...
They had thought that this attack, if it couldn’t kill Lu Ming, would at least leave him gravely injured.
But the result was completely beyond their expectations.
The beings capable of breaking through True One State are supremely powerful, with each of their comprehended Supreme Laws being unique.
If the Supreme Laws comprehended by two mighty beings can complement each other, then their combined assaults are far more than simply doubling their power.
Two joining forces might even slay a True One at their peak.
This is why in history, many True Ones were killed through such combined attacks.
And now, there were four of them, along with the Origin Sovereign—that made five.
And with their attacks supplementing each other, how could they not overcome Lu Ming with their collective might?
