458: Chapter 457 Ascension to Heaven (Part 4) - Azure Dragon's Sudden Appearance

"The time for ascending to heaven hasn't arrived yet. Kill Lu Qingfeng first. If he doesn't die, we won't have peace."

"Right... prepare to act!"

Instantly, the surrounding Golden Core Great Dao Cultivators surrounded Lu Qingfeng.

After the rules covered the area, Lu Qingfeng felt a bit uncomfortable at first, but after a few seconds, he was suddenly like a fish in water.

His body and mind felt an incomparable sense of pleasure...

The world inside his body expanded rapidly; what was once the size of a fist soon became the size of a palm.

Moreover, the mountains and rivers within began to glow with green light, rivers started to surge, and trees, flowers, and grass began to bloom and bear fruit.

Lu Qingfeng even felt life being born within him.

High-quality dark energy also began to be produced continuously inside.

He tilted his head back and took a deep breath.

So these are the rules of the Great Dao Realm? Truly wonderful. He must get out.

He glanced at the people around him who were itching to move—a bunch of rabble.

He supported the still-sleeping Canghai Yueming with his left hand.

He took another look at Azure Dragon and the others, whose Auras were skyrocketing.

"Do it..." Granny Jinhua shouted coldly.

She raised her Dragon Head Staff and waved her hand.

A golden dragon streaked across the sky, attacking Lu Qingfeng with overbearing force.

"Daoist Zhang, don't run around..." Lu Qingfeng warned. His Protective Aura expanded as World Power circulated.

It formed a hundred-meter shield.

The golden dragon slammed into the shield.

*Roar...*

*Bang...*

The others also began to form hand seals. Spells and Flying Swords swarmed toward Lu Qingfeng, blotting out the sky.

The shield shook incessantly under the barrage.

"If you all wish to die, I will fulfill your wish..."

Lu Qingfeng's perception was also compressed to within a thousand meters; it seemed this was a matter of Realm.

Unless he surpassed this Realm, his perception wouldn't change, and the rules wouldn't shift. He felt quite helpless about it.

Stepping forward, he blurred, beginning to evade the Immortal Artifacts activated by the Hundred Schools of Thought.

At this time, the power of the Immortal Artifacts was indeed sufficient.

Lu Qingfeng found an opening... and threw a punch toward the crowd.

"Die..."

The fist Aura flickered with the light of death, heading toward the densest part of the crowd.

*Thud, thud, thud...*

Three people were hit and turned into a mist of blood. Their three Primordial Spirits quickly fled the battlefield and reconstructed their bodies, their faces incredibly pale.

"Scatter... maintain a distance of a thousand meters and wear him down!"

Guiguzi realized there was a major problem when he saw that so many attacks couldn't break through his shield.

Granny Jinhua also shouted at Azure Dragon, "What are you all still watching for?"

"Heh, we're coming..." Azure Dragon turned and said, "Let's go, let's send our ally home."

The four of them nodded and instantly made their move.

Various Divine Abilities flew out.

Lu Qingfeng dodged left and right.

However, there were simply too many attacks.

Furthermore, they were all old monsters who knew to keep their distance, so his attacks couldn't kill multiple targets at once.

In that case, he would capture the leader to catch the bandits.

He extended his right hand, and a golden longsword appeared.

He swung a streak of Gengjin Sword Qi toward Granny Jinhua.

The Sword Qi whistled, sharp enough to pierce metal and crack stone.

*Swoosh...*

Granny Jinhua was terrified... The golden dragon turned back into a large golden bell.

*Puncture...*

The golden Sword Qi instantly pierced through the bell and her forehead.

Her Primordial Spirit was ground to pieces...

She was silenced instantly and fell into the Void Realm... The golden dragon also let out a mournful cry and returned to the staff, floating in the void along with its master.

Everyone's expression turned ugly... they temporarily stopped their attacks.

"Are you finished? Then it's my turn... Kill!"

He immediately began his counterattack. He didn't head toward the Human Race but instead charged toward Azure Dragon and the others.

"Azure Dragon, you treacherous bastard. Today, I'll slaughter you first..."

The Sword Qi whistled; before the sound could even arrive, the Sword Qi had already reached them.

*Roar...*

Azure Dragon let out a great roar... and transformed into his true form. In the void, a thousand-meter-long giant dragon manifested.

He spat a mouthful of green flames at the Sword Qi...

*Sizzle sizzle sizzle!*

The Sword Qi quickly broke through the green flames and pierced toward his head.

His pupils dilated, and he screamed, "No..."

His tail lashed desperately.

His body also began to twist.

*Puncture...*

The Sword Qi pierced through his tail and his body.

He was instantly heavily injured, but he managed to save his life.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, have mercy... I even treated you to a meal..."

"Die..."

Lu Qingfeng, who had already closed in, raised his longsword. A thousand-meter sword light surged as he slashed down.

From the dragon's head down, he was split into two... Azure Dragon was dead!

"Mo Di, if you keep retreating, everyone will die..." Vermilion Bird suddenly shrieked sharply.

The remaining Four Vicious Beasts felt a sense of shared sorrow. They hadn't died despite being imprisoned for five hundred thousand years, yet one of them had died today.

They were Golden Immortals! Golden Immortals! And now, one had been killed by a mere Qi Refiner.

"Kill..." she shouted sternly.

The Four Vicious Beasts instantly transformed into their true forms.

Furthermore, Star Beasts appeared around them, seemingly endless.

Mo Di also knew that if they didn't kill Lu Qingfeng today, they either wouldn't be able to leave or would die here...

He also shouted, "Kill! Those who retreat... shall die."

After speaking, he was the first to control an Immortal Artifact and attack.

The crowd also began to attack while maintaining their distance.

...

In the space above the Fluorescent Planet.

Ge Xuan watched Lu Qingfeng, who was covered in Spells, killing the Golden Core Great Dao Cultivators one by one with his sword. He seemed to understand how to kill them.

All the Sword Qi was aimed at their heads. Once struck, they would immediately die and their Dao would vanish.

"Celestial Master, what should we do? Should we help?"

"No. If he kills everyone and ends up at the end of his rope, we'll kill him then. That way, the brothers can survive... He is a great talent, but compared to the resurrection of the Daoist Venerable, you should know which is more important... as well as the lives of so many of our compatriots..."

"Yes, I understand!"

"However, this Lu Qingfeng is indeed ridiculously strong. How did he Cultivate?"

"In response to the Celestial Master, he is someone chosen by the Demon Ring; he just happened to survive."

Zhang Daoling was stunned for a moment and asked:

"The Demon Ring?"

"Yes..."

"Then he deserves to die even more..."

After saying that, he watched the people fighting in the void with cold eyes.

...

By now, quite a few Golden Core Cultivators had died.

But it seemed they had found a pattern.

When Lu Qingfeng advanced, they retreated.

When Lu Qingfeng retreated, the people from another direction advanced.

They harassed him frantically... leaving Lu Qingfeng exhausted from running around.

Everyone's speed and Divine Sense range were about the same; as long as they knew how to kite him, he couldn't kill anyone.

Only the corpses of Star Beasts were left floating everywhere.

Fortunately, their sizes were suppressed to be very small due to the rules.

As time passed.

Ten minutes later...

Zhang Sanfeng said anxiously:

"Fellow Daoist Lu, how about you escape? If this continues, we will surely die. Once our dark energy is exhausted, we will die and our Dao will vanish..."

"I'm not leaving. I, Lu Qingfeng, said I would definitely take you to the Great Dao Realm. Just wait a bit longer!"

After speaking, he feinted a forward charge, then turned and swung his sword at the person rushing up behind him.

The Sword Qi blasted through the person's head, their Primordial Spirit shattered, and their Dao vanished.

"Everyone pay attention, don't let him distract you with a feint..." Mo Di roared.

Everyone became even more cautious, including the four surviving Vicious Beasts.

And Lu Qingfeng was indeed finding it very difficult to kill anyone now.

However, a cold, deep smile appeared at the corners of his mouth as he looked at the distant Blue Planet.

In another half an hour, the Place of Ascending Heaven would open wide.

At that time, by defeating that Stone Man, he could ascend to heaven and leave.

He was waiting for the time to come...

While the rest were waiting for death...
