396: The Greatest Prodigy

Azure Underworld, the east.

Terrifying collisions were erupting there, and they were extremely intense. If not for the fact that these battling beings were all practitioners with profound cultivation, whose control over power had long reached exquisite subtlety, then any stray divine light leaking from within could have sunk the entire eastern Azure Underworld, or even shaken the entire Azure Underworld.

"These beastly Demon Clan, relying on their alliance with the Nether Clan, are becoming increasingly arrogant now!" A Faxiang Realm Great Expert from the Human Race said indignantly.

Although the Demon Clan and Human Race were inherently irreconcilable enemies, the Demon Clan of the past would never have dared to be so reckless.

Just like in this Azure Underworld, where the Human Race was powerful, the Human Race held complete dominance. The Demon Clan in the Starry Sky would never interfere, because they would fear the Human Race Great Experts in the Starry Sky descending as well.

But now, with the Nether Clan as an ally, the Demon Clan showed no trace of restraint. Having gained momentum, they even dared to directly attack the gates of the Martial God Palace.

"Fellow Daoists of the Martial God Palace, we have only come for the celestial treasure. If the celestial treasure is not here, we will naturally leave. Why must we resort to such conflict?" A Demon Clan Great Expert with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth smiled and spoke, completely unconcerned by the anger of the Martial God Palace Great Experts.

"If the celestial treasure has entered my Martial God Palace, then it belongs to my Martial God Palace. When is it your turn, you group of Demon Clan beasts, to come and go as you please?" An old Great Expert with white hair but a robust physique roared angrily.

Beasts were beasts. This group of Demon Clan ran rampant under the guise of searching for the celestial treasure, even attempting to ransack the Martial God Palace's treasury. Any Disciple who resisted was stuffed into their mouths and swallowed in a few bites.

If not for the timely arrival of these Great Experts, this Martial God Palace might have been flattened by this group of Demon Clan beasts.

If that were truly the case, what face would the Martial God Palace have to stand in the Azure Underworld?

The hearts of this group of Demon Clan beasts were punishable by death.

"My clan's Nether King Yin Hong once saw the celestial treasure and recognized its aura. If I say the celestial treasure is here, then it is absolutely not false," a Nether Clan Great Expert radiating a chilling aura all over said coldly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the few Martial God Palace Great Experts were instantly enraged to the point of their heads exploding.

Even Yin Hong wasn't sure what the celestial treasure was exactly, and couldn't truly find any trace of it. How dare you, a mere Faxiang Realm Great Expert of the Nether Clan, claim the celestial treasure is here?

To put it bluntly, even if this Nether Clan Great Expert's strength was a hundred times greater, he couldn't possibly find the celestial treasure.

In a word, these Demon Clan beasts and Nether Clan dead things simply wanted to flatten this Martial God Palace, being arrogant beyond belief.

"If you want to touch my Martial God Palace, you will naturally have to pay the price." The old Great Expert of the Martial God Palace's hair stood on end with rage.

Those who could call for backup did so, those who could fight did so.

Although there were seven more Demon Clan and Nether Clan Great Experts, their strength was not much higher than theirs. They were all just those who had cultivated two or three Dharma Idols, with only one having four Dharma Idols.

With such strength, the eight Great Experts of the Martial God Palace could completely stall until the Great Power from within the palace arrived.

"Since the Fellow Daoists of the Martial God Palace are determined to seek death, then I will have no choice but to fulfill your wishes." The Nether Clan Great Expert's voice was icy.

He was the only four Dharma Idol on the side of the Demon Clan and Nether Clan. With the unique inherited legacy of the Nether Clan's past lives, he would have an absolute advantage against the old Great Expert of the Martial God Palace who also had four Dharma Idols.

It was at this moment.

The earth undulated, appearing like a water surface. A heroic and handsome youth stepped out from underground, followed closely by layers upon layers of heaven. To be precise, they were layers upon layers of terrifying Dharma Idols.

"One layer... three layers... eight layers... ten... ten layers of heaven, Ten Dharma Images?!"

In an instant, the tense atmosphere instantly shattered, replaced by a deathly silence. An old Great Expert of the Martial God Palace, unaffected by these Ten Dharma Images, counted them in shock, and his voice immediately trembled with surprise, unable to speak completely.

But in contrast, whether it was the Demon Clan Great Experts or the Nether Clan Great Expert with four Dharma Idols, they all stood frozen in place at this moment, their eyes filled with terror and fear.

It wasn't that they didn't want to move, nor that they didn't want to escape, but rather, there was no escape route.

Ten Dharma Images, ten layers of heaven suppressed above the dome, and also suppressed all the magic power, physical bodies, and even the Divine Souls of the Demon Clan Great Experts and Nether Clan Great Experts.

At this moment, they couldn't even stand, and continuous 'crackling' sounds emanated from their entire bodies.

That was their physical bodies being suppressed by supreme power, their muscles and bones all cracking and shattering.

Even if those ten terrifying Dharma Idols didn't completely suppress them, as time passed, they would still be suppressed into meat paste, their Divine Souls extinguished, their bodies and spirits destroyed.

However, it was a pity. That heroic and handsome youth would not give these Demon Clan and Nether Clan Great Experts the chance to become meat paste.

Because their physical bodies were the best treasures and could not be damaged.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...

Terrifying sword energy slashed out from underground, without distinction of order or quantity. All the Demon Clan and Nether Clan Great Experts were pierced through the center of their brows at the same instant, harvested and annihilated like clay figures or wooden carvings.

In the next moment, the youth above the sky grabbed with a large hand, scooping up all the fallen Demon Clan and Nether Clan Great Experts, and re-entered the ground, disappearing.

On the spot, only the Martial God Palace Great Experts remained, as if a certain invisible mighty force had pressed the pause button on them.

"Ten... Ten Dharma Images?!"

"Where did a Ten Dharma Images Great Expert come from? Why have I never heard of him?!"

An existence like this, and so young, must surely already be ranked on the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking, an existence famous throughout the Nine Heavens and ten earths. How could he be unknown, and even less likely to suddenly appear!

At this moment, an old Great Expert's body suddenly trembled, and his pupils shrank sharply. He seemed to have remembered something and was startled awake: "It's not Ten Dharma Images, it's Twenty-Five Dharma Images! He is that peerless Heavenly Pride from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion, Lu Chen!"

Lu Chen, he has returned to the Azure Underworld?!

ps: The next chapter will be added here!

The peerless Heavenly Pride who displayed his Divine Might of Twenty-Five Dharma Images on the Mystic Heaven Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, shaking the entire universe starry sky, even if not everyone knew him, the top major powers in this universe starry sky definitely did.

This Martial God Palace Great Expert also knew him, and had even seen Lu Chen's image.

Because this Azure Underworld was Lu Chen's birthplace, and he had also stirred up trouble in the Azure Underworld. Apart from the Great Experts and Great Power who came from the Starry Sky, it would be difficult to find someone in the Azure Underworld Martial God Palace who didn't know Lu Chen.

This is 'fame'.

Perhaps you have never met him, but you have definitely heard of him.

Just like Lu Chen, among the endless beings and practitioners in this universe starry sky, he has only met a drop in the ocean, but those powerful beings recognize him.

A person's name, a tree's shadow. If he travels the Starry Sky in the future, anyone who hears his name will not be able to ignore him.

"A young Heavenly Pride, unparalleled in ancient and modern times!" Even though the heroic and handsome youth had already vanished into the void and disappeared, the old Great Expert of the Martial God Palace still couldn't help but praise.

Strong, too strong.

Although there were also Heavenly Pride in the Ancestral Land of the Martial God Palace, including Wu Chaojun, who was ranked sixty-second on the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking, they admitted that even Wu Chaojun could not be stronger than this Lu Chen, who was born in the Azure Underworld.

He was too strong. Twenty-Five Dharma Images, not to mention the power of his Dharma Idols, just in terms of quantity, he surpassed Ancient Chaoyang, who was ranked first with twenty-four Dharma Idols. This was rarely seen in the world.

On this day, the entire Azure Underworld was shaken.

Because an unknown existence suddenly swept across the entire Azure Underworld, hunting down all beings hostile to the Human Race.

In just one day, the Demon Clan lost twenty-four Tongtian Realm Great Power, and there were hundreds of Faxiang Realm Great Experts, not to mention countless Nascent Soul Realm practitioners.

Not only the Demon Clan, but also the Heaven Day Race, Heaven Yin, Spirit Clan, Yan Clan, Han Clan, Three-Eyed Clan, and even the Nether Clan, combined, lost over twenty Tongtian Realm Great Power, over five hundred Faxiang Realm Great Experts, and the Nascent Soul Realm practitioners were almost completely annihilated.

The Demon Clan was furious, and the Nether Clan was even more enraged, because there weren't many Nether Clan people who came to the Azure Underworld in the first place. After being inexplicably massacred, their numbers plummeted, leaving only a few powerful Tongtian Realm Great Power to hold the fort, and not a single Faxiang Realm practitioner remained.

"Which bastard is targeting my clan? Could it be that Human Race experts from the Starry Sky have all descended upon the Azure Underworld to wage war against my clan?" A Tongtian Realm Great Power of the Demon Clan was furious.

"We cannot rule out this possibility. The news of the celestial treasure's appearance has spread, and it is inevitable that more Human Race powerhouses will arrive. We just didn't expect the Human Race to arrive faster than our Demon Clan."

"Hmph, the Human Race's actions are tantamount to digging their own graves. When our Demon Clan and Nether Clan powerhouses arrive, they will only die even more miserably!"

The Tongtian Realm Great Power of the Demon Clan exchanged words, some sneering, some frowning, and some angry, varying greatly.

At this moment, a Demon Clan member with dragon horns on his head strode over. His upper body was thick, but from his waist down to his feet, he was slender, appearing somewhat uncoordinated.

But when this Demon Clan member stepped into the area, the Demon Clan Great Power who were originally speaking instantly fell silent.

Dragon's Nine Sons, descendant of Prison Cow.

Prison Cow, although its name contains the word 'cow', is actually unrelated to cattle. This race has a dragon's body in the upper half and a snake's body in the lower half, hence the thick upper body and slender lower body.

And this one is an apex existence of the Prison Cow lineage, ranked fifty-eighth on the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking, named 'Dragon Barbarian Blood'. He is an eight Dharma Idol Tongtian Realm Great Power, with the potential to step into the Ascension Realm in the future. He also possesses True Dragon blood, making his strength immeasurably powerful.

He scanned his dragon eyes around, then spoke lightly: "The Human Race has not received reinforcements. The one who acted is the Human Race's Lu Chen."

On this day, too many Demon Clan, Nether Clan, Heaven Day Race, Three-Eyed Clan, and other clan powerhouses died. Therefore, the Demon Clan and other clans did not know who the attacker was, because any Demon Clan member who saw Lu Chen died.

But on the Human Race side, things had already gone wild, because too many Human Race members saw Lu Chen act. The name of the peerless Heavenly Pride had already spread throughout the Azure Underworld, only the Demon Clan was still foolishly making wild guesses.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience was shocked: "Lu Chen of Twenty-Five Dharma Images?!"

So it was him!

And it could only be him.

Because Lu Chen was not only strong enough, but he had also cultivated over a hundred external avatars, capable of fighting on all sides simultaneously.

"This child is too arrogant. He regards our Demon Clan as mere fish on a chopping block. Even now, while still in the Faxiang Realm, he dares to act like this. If he enters the Tongtian Realm or even the Ascension Realm in the future, won't he slaughter our Demon Clan completely?" A Tongtian Realm Great Power of the Demon Clan expressed deep concern.

"Regardless of the cost, he must be annihilated before he achieves the Tongtian Realm, otherwise this Human Race Lu Chen will become a great threat to our Demon Clan in the future."

"That's right, this child is extremely hostile to our Demon Clan. He has only been famous for how long, and the number of our clan's powerhouses he has killed is already countless, far surpassing other Human Race Heavenly Pride on the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking!"

"Twenty-Five Dharma Images! That's one level higher than Ancient Chaoyang's twenty-four Dharma Images, who is ranked first. Regardless of whether his strength can compare to Ancient Chaoyang's twenty-four Dharma Images, just his achievements and potential alone are definitely not inferior to Ancient Chaoyang's! This child should be listed as our Demon Clan's number one enemy, and we must use all means to kill him!"

"Currently, this child is still in the Faxiang Realm and has not entered the Tongtian Realm, so he can still be surrounded and massacred. Once he breaks into the Tongtian Realm, at that time, I'm afraid only those ranked in the top ten of the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking and Ascended Beings can take his life. This matter must be done quickly."

The opinions of the Tongtian Realm Great Power of the Demon Clan were surprisingly consistent, and their expressions were extremely solemn.

"Displaying the potential of Twenty-Five Dharma Images, and now not knowing how to restrain his sharpness and wait for the opportunity to grow, but instead coming to stir up trouble in the muddy waters of the Azure Underworld, this Lu Chen is truly arrogant and conceited." Dragon Barbarian Blood, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. He said unhurriedly: "But he has indeed given us this opportunity. Killing him now is the perfect timing."

The Ascended Being Chen Tianshu from the Dongxu Immortal Mansion has disappeared without a trace. The Demon Clan had already speculated that Chen Tianshu likely suffered a great loss at the hands of the Great Golden Crow and was severely injured.

And without Chen Tianshu, this Human Race Ascended Being, the Demon Clan, in alliance with the Nether Clan, was the strongest behemoth in this Azure Underworld.

The Human Race couldn't stop them, and neither could Lu Chen.

"Does Venerable Manxue have the confidence to kill that Human Race Lu Chen?" An old Demon Clan Great Power asked cautiously.

For a monstrous talent like Lu Chen who has cultivated Twenty-Five Dharma Images, ordinary Tongtian Realm practitioners, even if they are one major Realm higher, are simply no match for him. Only the Heavenly Pride who have ascended the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking can possibly suppress him with the advantage of being one major Realm higher in cultivation.

And Dragon Barbarian Blood is such a peerless Heavenly Pride. Not only does he have True Dragon Bloodline, but he also has the advantage of a higher Realm.

Dragon Barbarian Blood tapped his fingers on the armrest of his seat, falling into contemplation.

Even though he was ranked among the Myriad Clans Heavenly Pride, even though he was a descendant of Prison Cow, and even though he was one major Realm higher than Lu Chen, he dared not easily make a conclusion.

Because, that was Twenty-Five Dharma Images.

No one knew how powerful a Faxiang Realm practitioner with Twenty-Five Dharma Images would be.

Because in the past tens of thousands of years, the most talented Ancient Chaoyang only cultivated twenty-four Dharma Images, but just with twenty-four Dharma Images, he has now reached the top spot.

So, how much stronger should Twenty-Five Dharma Images, which surpass twenty-four Dharma Images, be?

It's hard to say!

"My dharma aspect spirits have not yet been fully cultivated to Perfection, and I have not stepped into the peak of the Tongtian Realm. If I were at the Great Perfection of the Tongtian Realm, I would have confidence in suppressing this Human Race Lu Chen, but now..." Dragon Barbarian Blood slowly shook his head.

His words were not finished, but it was clear that Dragon Barbarian Blood, an existence on the Heaven's Pride Rankings, did not have much confidence.

"If we also count my main body, how much confidence does Brother Manxue have?" At this moment, another tall figure with dragon horns on his head strode in.

The Tongtian Realm Great Power of the Demon Clan focused their gaze and looked over, instantly overjoyed.

'Dragon Sky Achieve has also arrived!'

Dragon Sky Achieve, Dragon's Nine Sons, descendant of Suanni, ranked fifty-second on the Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking, his strength was even greater than Dragon Barbarian Blood's.

This Human Race Lu Chen indeed had a great reputation. The Heaven's Pride Ranking existences who were originally elusive were now being drawn out one after another.
