368: The grindstone is too hard (two chapters in one)

"Lu Chen! Daoist Lu!" Liao Tianyou and Huiming exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes: "It really is him."

It's settled!

They had long speculated that Lu Chen was the true master behind the Puppets, and now it seems it was indeed true.

More importantly, this Daoist Lu is an existence capable of slaying Great Experts. How could a Nether Clan Meng Chang possibly stop him!

"Lu Chen, Lu Senior... Senior apprentice-brother!" Qin Xiaolan couldn't help but look over.

It was his first time seeing Lu Chen, but that didn't mean he didn't recognize Lu Chen, because Leng of Qingxuan Cave Heaven had already sent him a message with an image of Lu Chen, allowing him to recognize him at a glance.

"I've long heard that Lu Senior Brother cultivated sixty-six external avatars, but now it seems Lu Senior Brother was hiding his true strength!" he exclaimed inwardly.

Because what appeared before him wasn't just sixty-six Lu Chens, there were clearly one hundred and ten of them!

Moreover, he had over fifty thousand Puppets!

It's settled!

Qin Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief.

The Nether Clan's Meng Chang was too strong, so strong that even Sima Feng couldn't block a casual palm strike from him. In front of such an existence, they wouldn't even have a chance to step forward and rescue Sima Feng.

It wasn't that they didn't dare, but that they couldn't.

Because once they stepped forward, it would be like offering five heads; there would be no other meaning besides that.

Therefore, the only things that could save Sima Feng were his own life-saving trump cards and the Faxiang Realm Great Expert stationed in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield from Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

But if Sima Feng had life-saving trump cards, how could the Nether Clan's Meng Chang not have them?

If both sides unleashed their trump cards, Sima Feng would likely still not be his opponent.

As for the Great Expert from Qingxuan Cave Heaven, he might not necessarily be able to defeat Meng Chang either.

A hopeless situation!

Fortunately, Lu Chen appeared.

This Senior apprentice-brother, who could be called a monstrous talent, might even be more monstrous than rumored.

At this moment, let alone Qin Xiaolan and the other members of the Human Race, even Meng Chang, who had always been in control, showed a hint of solemnity.

"External avatars, one hundred and ten external avatars. No wonder so many Puppets could be refined!" Meng Chang lightly inhaled.

Previously, just two Puppets blocked one of his attacks. Now, these external avatars should only be stronger than those Puppets.

One hundred and ten external avatars, plus an unknown number of Puppets hidden in the dark. At this moment, even someone as strong as the Nether Clan's Meng Chang felt a bit apprehensive.

What was even more terrifying was that even if Meng Chang fought desperately, destroying these one hundred and ten external avatars, and then destroying the unknown number of Puppets hidden in the dark, in the end, he might not even be able to see the true master of these external avatars and Puppets.

This was what made Meng Chang's heart pound the most.

"Does Your Excellency truly want to be my enemy?" Meng Chang suddenly spoke, his tone already lowered by three points.

It wasn't that he was afraid of these external avatars, nor was he afraid of those Puppets, but rather that it was unnecessary.

There was no response.

Dao Soldiers also couldn't give any response, because Dao Soldiers cannot speak.

Therefore, the response to Meng Chang was the Dao Soldiers' decisive strike.

"Boom!" The sky shook and the earth trembled.

One hundred and ten Dao Soldiers simultaneously shook their bodies, revealing their Yuan Tuo Dharma Bodies, each a thousand zhang tall, their Aura instantly surging by more than ten times.

With just a raise of a hand, the wind and clouds stirred.

Furthermore, the forces of the nine great rules of Five Elements, Wind and Thunder, and Yin and Yang boiled and gathered, roaring like a vast ocean.

The Aura became increasingly terrifying.

Among them, twenty-two Dao Soldiers stepped forward and lightly clapped their hands. "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" Eleven sounds of copper gongs rang out. "Ding-a-ling!" Eleven sounds of bells echoed, directly entering the soul, ringing in Meng Chang's ears.

"Boom!" It was like a clap of thunder exploding, or a mountain collapsing and the earth cracking.

In an instant, Meng Chang even had the illusion that his head was about to explode, his soul seemed about to break free from his Nascent Soul, and it felt as though he was about to be torn apart.

This surging intense pain, as soon as it appeared, made Meng Chang clutch his head and sway, falling from high altitude. His already bloodless face became even paler: "Ah..."

"Soul attack, yet you dare to dream of killing me!" He suddenly stabilized his figure, steadying himself just as he was about to fall completely to the ground. Within his glabella, brilliant light shone brightly, and faintly visible, there seemed to be a small pagoda floating.

Clearly, Meng Chang had a secret treasure protecting his soul, which protected his soul.

Unfortunately, this was only the beginning.

The sounds of the copper gongs and bells continued to ring, causing the pagoda within Meng Chang's glabella to continuously emit light.

Another eleven external avatars, each a thousand zhang tall, stepped forward, raising their hands to support something.

"Boom!" "Boom!"...

In an instant, eleven consecutive beams of Extinction Divine Light appeared, seemingly capable of silencing and destroying the heavens and earth. Their terrifying Divine Might and unfathomable speed meant that almost as soon as they appeared, Meng Chang, who had barely stabilized his figure, was sent flying backward with a bang. His body was even shattered inch by inch, and blood flowed all over.

"You deserve to die!" The divine light on the pagoda within Meng Chang's glabella became increasingly brilliant, but his body was shattered and instantly disintegrated, directly scattering into dust in the Void. With a gust of wind, not a single trace was left behind.

"The existence behind this Puppet is actually this terrifying!" Countless Myriad Clans beings watching from afar gasped.

Powerful, terrifyingly powerful.

Even Meng Chang, who was powerful enough to easily crush Sima Feng, was beaten to the point of having no ability to retaliate in the hands of this existence.

From the very beginning, Meng Chang was being beaten, and only beaten, without even room to fight back. His Physical Body was destroyed. How terrifying was this?

Those Heavenly Pride who had comprehended the prototype of a Dharma Idol already had the confidence to fight against Faxiang Realm Great Experts, and Meng Chang was even above the Heavenly Pride who had already condensed the prototype of a Dharma Idol, capable of directly crushing them.

But when this master of Puppets made his move, Meng Chang was like a clay chicken or pottery dog.

The gap between them was too, too large.

"One hundred and ten external avatars, and only thirty-three of them attacked, yet they beat that Meng Chang until his Physical Body was destroyed. If all of them were to attack... I dare not imagine!" All the Myriad Clans beings were horrified by this.

"Meng Chang, just destroyed like that?" Some beings still couldn't believe it.

"No, he's still here."

As expected, just a moment later, a pagoda radiating brilliant light reappeared. Faintly visible, within it was Meng Chang's Nascent Soul, as well as a drop of blood.

In just a flick of a finger, that drop of blood quickly manifested into a second Meng Chang.

Rebirth from a drop of blood.

"Master of Puppets, you deserve ten thousand deaths!" Meng Chang gritted his teeth.

If he hadn't had the accumulation left from his previous life, if he hadn't had a secret treasure protecting him, he would be dead by now.

But, this would be the only time. Previously, he was careless and didn't guard against soul attacks, which allowed those external avatars to seize an Opportunity, leaving him with no chance to fight back.

This time, he came prepared.

"Boom!" Rolling dark clouds surged behind him, with terrifying figures faintly visible, letting out silent roars within. That was the prototype of his Dharma Idol, strange and terrifying.

"Clang!" "Ding-a-ling!" The sounds of the copper gongs and bells rang out without the slightest warning.

"Boom!" Extinction Divine Light was fired again.

The heavens and earth seemed about to be shattered, about to completely disintegrate at this moment.

In the distance, deep underground, Lu Chen watched with interest: "Somewhat interesting. It's the first time I've seen someone who can withstand my three Yin Yang Dao Soldiers and not die."

Lu Chen became increasingly tempted. If such an existence were cultivated into a Dao Soldier, it would definitely be excellent.

ps: There's not enough time. The next chapter might be added after this one!

"Boom!"

The great battle erupted. The tiny pagoda within the Nether Clan's Meng Chang's glabella shone brightly, blocking all the soul attacks from the Soul Shattering Bell and the Soul Separation Three Sound Gong.

At the same moment, he drew out a bronze spear from the void. But unlike normal companion Spirit Treasures that shimmered with divine light, this spear was entirely black, covered in mottled rust, as if it had been taken from years of dust-filled seclusion and brought back into the light of day.

The eerie figure faintly visible within the prototype of the Dharma Idol behind him let out silent roars, becoming increasingly bone-chilling, but also increasingly powerful.

"Boom!"

He brandished the bronze spear in his hand, sweeping and thrusting, stirring the power of heaven and earth. His speed was incredibly fast, constantly colliding with the 'Extinction Divine Light' fired by the eleven Dao Soldiers, producing continuous thunderous explosions.

But the Extinction Divine Light was too strong. This was a Divine Power inherent to the Causality Source Tracing Mirror, and it was unleashed using the Causality Source Tracing Mirror, this Dao Soldier's main body. Its power was beyond imagination.

Even though Meng Chang blocked the 'Extinction Divine Light' with the strange bronze spear in his hand, his arms were still severely shaken, and terrifying, hideous cracks appeared one after another.

He had reached his limit.

Not only his Physical Body, but even the pagoda within his glabella was gradually dimming under the soul attacks of the Soul Separation Three Sound Gong and the Soul Shattering Bell.

"How dare you bully me like this." Meng Chang went mad, seemingly wanting to go against the Extinction Divine Light and destroy that external avatar.

In the distance, Lu Chen watched with interest: "Being able to block my three Yin Yang Dao Soldiers seems to be his limit."

He waved his hand.

Instantly, the remaining seventy-seven Dao Soldiers far away on the battlefield stopped watching and attacked simultaneously.

"Boom!"

The heavens and earth violently shook. All the thousand-zhang-tall Dao Soldiers simultaneously clenched their fists, gathering the power of the nine great rules of heaven and earth. Moreover, outer Starry Sky stars shone down, seemingly transforming into flowing rivers of stars, all converging into the fists of sixty-six Dao Soldiers.

"Boom!"

Sixty-six punches, representing sixty-six Divine Powers of 'Star River Soul Forging', along with eleven beams of Extinction Divine Light and twenty-two soul attacks. What was most terrifying were the last eleven external avatars. Behind them, prototypes of Dharma Idols simultaneously surged up, as if the underworld had reopened. Tall deities within the underworld launched eleven iron chains, simultaneously piercing through the Void and disappearing.

"Come!" Meng Chang's entire Aura completely exploded.

Thinking that he could be killed with just these one hundred and ten external avatars was wishful thinking.

As a top Heavenly Pride Traveling Envoy of the Nether Clan, how could he not have trump cards?

"Boom!"

He suddenly reached out and grabbed a jade talisman. The next moment, the jade talisman seemed to come alive, instantly transforming into a pitch-black ghostly hand that covered the sky and blocked out the sun. It grabbed out, simultaneously grasping the eleven beams of Extinction Divine Light and sixty-six Star River fists in its palm, crushing them in one go.

But the soul attacks still landed on Meng Chang's glabella soul, completely dimming the pagoda protecting his soul, no longer showing any divine radiance. It was even visible to the naked eye that fine cracks had appeared one after another on the surface of the pagoda.

"Boom!"

The ghostly hand grabbed again, trying to catch the eleven iron chains launched from the Dharma Idol, but it grabbed nothing.

The iron chains, which seemed to have pierced out from the hands of the underworld deities, ignored the ghostly hand and the pagoda in Meng Chang's glabella that hadn't completely shattered. They pierced straight through everything, locked onto Meng Chang's soul, and then with a collective pull, violently dragged Meng Chang's fiercely struggling soul out from his Niwan Palace, and then concealed themselves in the Void, disappearing without a trace.

Almost simultaneously, Meng Chang's Physical Body completely lost its vitality, like a living corpse, and fell straight down from mid-air. It was casually caught in the palm of one of the Dao Soldiers and disappeared from sight.

Everything, ended here.

The ghostly hand that covered the sky seemed to sense something and violently shook in the Void, causing the entire Ten Thousand Races Battlefield to tremble, as if it were about to collapse and disintegrate.

Unfortunately, Meng Chang was dead, and the power of the jade talisman also seemed to be exhausted. After only a moment, it dissipated powerlessly.

"Meng Chang, dead?!" Sima Feng, who was severely injured, watched with a dry mouth and tongue.

Too strong, those external avatars were unreasonably strong.

Sima Feng, who was casually beaten into a severe injury by Meng Chang, originally thought that the Nether Clan's Meng Chang might be the strongest Heavenly Pride in this Ten Thousand Races Battlefield. But who could have expected that the strongest Heavenly Pride in his eyes would be easily blasted apart by these external avatars, and that even Meng Chang's trump cards couldn't stop them.

So, how monstrous were these external avatars?

They hadn't even used their main body!

They hadn't even shown their faces, yet from an unknown distance away, they had suppressed and killed the Nether Clan's Heavenly Pride.

I dare not think, I simply dare not think about what kind of great terror the existence behind these external avatars is.

"Senior apprentice-brother, no need to be surprised. You also know the existence behind those external avatars and the Puppets," Qin Xiaolan stepped forward and explained.

Then he thought again, Sima Feng really might not know of Lu Chen's existence, because Sima Feng had been in seclusion before, and upon entering the battlefield he was severely injured by the combined efforts of the God Clan's Si Qian and Sacrifice Yuan, so he started recuperating again. Only now had he entered the battlefield, and before he could unleash his power, he was injured by Meng Chang again!

Hmm?

A bit tragic!

Perhaps defeating Red Dragon, Dragon Huaian, and then defeating Dragon Qingzhou, the Descendant of Bixi, was this Senior apprentice-brother Sima's most glorious moment.

And then, there was no 'then'.

"Could it be a peerless Heavenly Pride from our Human Race coming from Middle Heaven?" Sima Feng immediately voiced his guess.

Middle Heaven, that is the most central place in this universe starry sky, and also where all the Human Race Void Immortal Sects are located, and it is the Ancestral Land of the most top-tier great clans. The strongest experts and strongest Heavenly Pride from the entire universe starry sky gather there, including the previous Dragon Qingzhou, the Descendant of Bixi, and the Nether Clan's Meng Chang, who all came from Middle Heaven.

Even the Ancestral Land of Qingxuan Cave Heaven, the Dongxu Immortal Mansion, is also in Middle Heaven.

Therefore, a Human Race Heavenly Pride from Middle Heaven was Sima Feng's first guess.

"I don't know if he came from Middle Heaven, but this Senior apprentice-brother also belongs to the Dongxu Immortal Mansion lineage. He is a peerless Heavenly Pride who came to my Qingxuan Cave Heaven following that mysterious important figure. His name is Lu Chen, and he is still less than twenty years old," Qin Xiaolan said everything he knew in one breath.

Sima Feng was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

In this world, there is actually such a monstrous talent?!

Above the sky.

The majestic figure, as if merged with the Dao, suddenly stopped. "Meng Chang, a decent opponent!"

Unfortunately, since he perished here, this trip is meaningless.

He turned around and left without any hesitation.

As for the existence behind that external avatar, Dao Yi had a deep impression. This was the existence from the Azure Underworld who fought a Demon Immortal. One of his external avatars was also an Immortal.

Of course, later those Great Power were all spreading that it should be a Fallen Immortal following Lu Chen, not truly Lu Chen's external avatar. Because of this, Dao Yi had even said: "He hasn't even stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm, so he is temporarily not qualified to enter my sight. If he can break into the Nascent Soul Realm within a Jiazi (sixty years), I can give him an Opportunity in the future and take him as a follower!"

This was Dao Yi's evaluation of Lu Chen at that time.

But looking again now, Dao Yi's face felt a burning sensation, as if he had been slapped fiercely!

He clearly came looking for a whetstone, so why was he turning around and leaving after seeing Lu Chen's external avatar destroy Meng Chang?

It wasn't that this whetstone wasn't good enough; on the contrary, it was because this whetstone... was too hard!

He couldn't win!
