298: As soon as you come, you increase the intensity?

The moment Lu Xuan stepped into the Lingxu Land, his taut nerves finally relaxed slightly.

The interception Lu Xuan anticipated did not occur—among those Lao Jiahuo (Old fellows), many held grudges against him.

They actually let him enter just like that.

“They’re quite composed.”

A hint of vigilance flashed in Lu Xuan’s eyes; he didn’t believe those Lao Jiahuo (Old fellows) would be soft-hearted.

After entering, the white light gate connecting to the outside world, behind Lu Xuan, remained there without any change.

The white light gate connecting to the Lingxu Land would exist for one year.

Only after one year had passed would it once again conceal itself within the void.

Those from the Eight Great Families and Five Transcendent Forces should be guarding this gate, preventing anyone from daring to trespass into the Lingxu Land.

Lu Xuan looked up and gazed around, but the sight before him left him stunned.

Boundless green grasslands stretched to the horizon, and as a gentle breeze swept through the grass waves, Lu Xuan could even smell the fragrance of soil and wildflowers.

In the distance, mountains undulated like the spines of giant dragons, and the wings of birds circling in the sky reflected multicolored streams of light.

All of this was incredibly real—the damp feel of the soil beneath his feet, the flow of spiritual energy in the air, even the temperature of the sunlight on his skin, were no different from the real world.

“Is this… an independent minor world?”

“Or is it a real world illusion?!”

After all, even Lu Xuan couldn’t help but be vigilant when facing a completely new world.

Lu Xuan bent down and picked up a blade of green grass; the sap seeping from the broken end of the blade exuded a faint, visible Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

What astonished Lu Xuan most was that the thousands of martial arts prodigies who had entered with him were now completely gone.

It was as if only he remained in this entire world.

“The Lingxu is profound, one person, one realm.”

“Opportunities depend on one’s fortune, life and death are determined by fate.”

“It seems the information I gathered from Purple Yao Lord earlier was true.”

After entering the Lingxu Land, everyone would be dispersed to various parts of the world by a mysterious force, beginning the so-called secret realm trial.

This mysterious world has always been the birthplace of rare treasures; Heavenly Spiritual Objects, sacrificial artifacts, the Xufu Realm… countless precious items all originate from here.

Mysterious power?

Is it this power?

Purple light swirled in Lu Xuan’s eyes as he slowly raised his right hand, gazing at a nearly dissipated white light trace in his palm.

This wisp of white light, like smoke and mist, coiled and drifted above Lu Xuan’s palm, carrying a mysterious rhythm that transcended the natural laws of Heaven and Earth.

“So that’s how it is…”

“Presumably, this mysterious power is why those people were transported to various secret realms across the world.”

Lu Xuan’s lips curved into a slight smile; before his Void Realm True Lord Heaven and Earth Laws, this power’s essence had already been discerned by him.

The power of spatial laws, which ordinary cultivators found difficult to resist, could not affect Lu Xuan, a martial arts powerhouse infinitely close to a Heaven Master.

With Lu Xuan’s martial arts cultivation, one foot already stepping into the Major Achievement of a Void Realm True Lord, he could even shatter this wisp of mysterious Heaven and Earth spatial law power in an instant.

The next moment, Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, then suddenly put away the thought of resisting.

Lu Xuan deliberately restrained the surging Heaven and Earth Laws around him, allowing the white light to wash over his entire body like a tide.

In the final moment when Lu Xuan’s body was enveloped by this wisp of white light, he keenly captured the hidden spatiotemporal trajectory within this wisp of spatial law.

“Whoosh—”

The white stream of light streaked across the sky, and Lu Xuan’s body, following this wisp of white light, instantly traveled a thousand miles.

After Lu Xuan departed, only the grass waves, pressed down by the strong wind, remained on the grassland, quickly straightening up again as if no one had ever passed through.

Meanwhile, in other corners of this world, countless prodigies were also encountering their respective trials…

In a trance, Lu Xuan, relying on his incomparably formidable strength, could still see the scenes beyond the white stream of light through it.

Some people were fighting never-before-seen demonic beasts in a secluded valley in the wilderness.

Some were in a city, blending in with the local populace.

Some were in deep mountain villages…

Heavenly Spiritual Objects were abundant everywhere in the secret realm!

Lu Xuan suppressed the excitement in his heart; he really wanted to forcefully shatter this spatial law power and frantically collect Heavenly Spiritual Objects below.

Not yet!

Lu Xuan was afraid that doing so might lead to some undesirable mutation.

If he broke the conventions of this world, and it caused changes in the world’s rule power, he might face a life-or-death crisis.

Currently, Lu Xuan had no possibility of surviving in the face of the world’s regulatory power.

Even if he could be reborn from a drop of blood, that terrifying world regulatory power could instantly erase Lu Xuan’s existence, leaving no trace whatsoever.

When his vision cleared again, Lu Xuan was already standing in a strange, crimson desert.

Hot winds and sand beat against his robes, and on a distant sand dune, an ancient bronze palace stood, gleaming with an eerie light under the scorching sun.

“Interesting.”

As soon as Lu Xuan spoke, purple light burst forth in his eyes, and an indescribable power surged around him.

Lu Xuan walked slowly towards the ancient palace, each step leaving deep imprints in the sand.

But strangely, these footprints were instantly smoothed away by the shifting sand.

Of course, these minor movements naturally could not escape Lu Xuan’s perception.

Until Lu Xuan walked into the ancient bronze palace.

At the same time, in the void at the edge of the desert, a pair of eyes covered with white light patterns quietly opened, then quickly vanished…

Although those giant eyes, devoid of human emotion, disappeared extremely quickly, it was still discernible that they were watching Lu Xuan’s retreating figure.

Lu Xuan slowly stepped over the heavy threshold of the ancient bronze palace and entered.

On both sides of the wide corridor, various bronze statues loomed, some human-shaped standing solemnly, others beast-shaped baring fangs and claws.

Under the dim glow of the luminous crystals, an indescribable eeriness permeated the air.

The bronze statues on both sides seemed to come alive in the shadows, and their gilded beast eyes flickered with a demonic light in the darkness.

“Interesting…”

Lu Xuan condensed a wisp of Heaven and Earth Power on his fingertip and gently traced the nearest human-shaped bronze statue.

Dark red liquid suddenly seeped from the rusty surface, emitting a nauseating smell of blood.

Even more bizarrely, those blood-red liquids twisted into eerie characters in the air!

“Trespassers, die!”

“Hmm?”

The next moment, Lu Xuan’s brows furrowed instantly, “Is this Demonic Fiend Qi?”

“And this Demonic Fiend Qi is so dense!”

As Lu Xuan’s gaze swept over each bronze statue.

A wisp of faint Demonic Fiend aura lingered around each of these bronze statues, thread by thread, moving like living creatures within them.

Suddenly, Lu Xuan paused, his gaze fixed on the bronze-paved floor beneath his feet.

In an instant, a colossal “boom—” echoed, and the entire corridor trembled violently.

The seemingly sturdy bronze floor seemed to be impacted by a powerful force from below, constantly bulging upwards.

As the bronze floor twisted, it emitted a sharp, grating “creak” sound, as if countless evil spirits were roaring beneath the bronze floor.

“Demonic Beast!”

The floor exploded with a crash, and a giant claw covered in bronze scales burst out of the ground, its sharp tips leaving five deep gouges in the surface.

The scales on the giant claw emitted a faint green light, and a Fishy Wind(foul wind) carrying a strong smell of blood rushed towards him.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan remained extremely calm, standing casually with his hands behind his back, looking composedly ahead.

It was a three-zhang (approximately 10-meter) tall bronze beast, with a rat’s head and a bird’s body, and a pair of wings on its back; every scale on it emitted a captivating, eerie green light.

The moment it saw Lu Xuan, it suddenly opened its gaping maw, but what it spewed was not flames.

Instead, it was a thick, viscous, inky black Demonic Fiend Qi.

However, Lu Xuan merely raised his right hand and gently waved it at the terrifying black qi spewed out, and the black qi, as if encountering an intensely blazing sun, completely dissolved into nothingness in mid-air!

At this moment, the entire corridor suddenly came alive. Hundreds of bronze statues on both sides simultaneously opened their crimson eyes.

The clanging of armor, the scraping of claws, and the low growls of beasts intertwined into a symphony of death.

Most horrifyingly, those human-shaped bronze statues began to twist and deform, gradually revealing their true half-human, half-demon forms…

“Hmm?”

“Right from the start, you’re hitting me with this intensity?”

“This world seems to be strange; it appears to have discovered my situation?”

Lu Xuan remained composed, standing with his hands behind his back, his dark Xuan-colored brocade robe unmoving amidst the Demonic Fiend Qi.

This bronze army before him exuded a suffocating pressure.

The three-zhang (approximately 10-meter) giant beast at the forefront had menacing scales, and its demonic power, at the Outer Strength Grandmaster Major Achievement Realm, formed a tangible vortex, enveloping its body.

Behind it, seven bronze demonic beasts of various forms each exuded the terrifying aura of an Outer Strength Grandmaster.

Behind these demonic beasts, there were also hundreds of bronze human figures, marching in synchronized steps, their Inner Qi Realm auras converging into a single force that made the entire ancient palace hum.

“You certainly think highly of me.”

This powerful lineup, Lu Xuan could guarantee.

Any one of those who entered the Lingxu Land today, if they faced this scene, would all be doomed.

“Boom—”

The bronze giant beast with the rat head and bird body was the first to attack, its three pairs of green-covered wings suddenly unfurling.

In an instant, the entire bronze corridor transformed into an extremely cold hell, as visible Demonic Fiend Qi condensed into countless ice shards, emitting a teeth-grating “crackling” sound in the air.

Lu Xuan’s eyebrow twitched slightly as he watched the invisible air exhaled before him solidify into ice, and the bronze floor beneath his feet also turned into a slick sheet of ice.

Ahead, the bronze army had formed a killing formation and charged forward.

The rat-headed demonic beast’s wings instantly unleashed two streams of eerie green Demonic Fiend Qi.

The seven Outer Strength bronze beast statues simultaneously opened their gaping maws, lunging to devour Lu Xuan.

Hundreds of Inner Qi Realm bronze human figures, meanwhile, forcefully threw their chilling, long spears.

But what a pity!

Lu Xuan’s lips curved into a slight smile, and his eyes swirled with infinitely profound purple light.

His slender index finger gently pointed towards the void, at the moment his fingertip touched the air.

“Buzz…”

An invisible spatial ripple slowly spread out in the void ahead.

The flow of time, at this moment, seemed to have lost its meaning.

In mid-air, the condensed ice crystals solidified into dazzling diamond dust, and the surging Demonic Fiend Qi transformed into still black silk.

And those countless bronze spears hung silently in the air.

The rat-headed bird-bodied demonic beast’s ferocious pouncing posture, the bronze beast statues’ flailing claws, and even the vibrating sound waves in the air, all froze into a bizarre three-dimensional tableau.

“Disperse.”

As Lu Xuan softly uttered this word, the ripples that had solidified in the void spread once more.

Whether it was the massive body of that demonic beast, or the bronze statues behind it.

They began to slowly disintegrate, not shattering, but directly turning into the most primitive dust and ash.

This process of annihilation was terrifyingly quiet, with no screams, no struggles, as if they had been erased from existence by an immortal with supreme power.

When the last speck of blood and dust from the rat-headed bird-bodied demonic beast dissipated, the hundreds of bronze statues behind it also simultaneously vanished, ultimately disappearing completely from the world.

Lu Xuan calmly retracted his finger, and the Heaven and Earth Laws within him once again fell silent.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Void Realm True Lord (Minor Achievement)

Cultivation Techniques: Burning Heaven Blade Technique 9/9, Close Distance to the Horizon 5/9, Undying and Unextinguished 7/9.

Points: 28000

After killing this demonic beast and the strange bronze statues behind it.

Lu Xuan didn’t hesitate at all and immediately checked the system panel in his mind.

He wanted to verify whether killing demonic beasts in this world, just like in the Great Xia Dynasty, would yield a large amount of system points.

“Twenty thousand system points?”

“That’s acceptable!”

Although this amount of points was not much for Lu Xuan now, it at least confirmed Lu Xuan’s judgment.

In this world, killing these ghostly things could also earn system points.

At this moment, the entire corridor suddenly trembled violently.

The bronze floor a thousand meters away emitted strange “thud, thud” sounds.

Under Lu Xuan’s gaze, a bronze altar, inscribed with Heaven and Earth patterns, burst out of the ground, raising a sky full of dust.

Upon the bronze altar, a faint green ancient blade floated quietly.

The blade itself was only three feet long, yet it exuded a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.

The green light swirling on the blade was not a reflection, but rather a chilling, ghostly fire emanating from within.

Even more bizarrely, nine demonic eyes embedded in the guard were slowly rotating, as if scrutinizing Lu Xuan before them.

“It’s a sacrificial artifact…”

“And such powerful strength!”

Lu Xuan’s pupils constricted slightly.

His figure flickered, and space seemed to fold, instantly placing him before the altar.

Suddenly, the wails of thousands of vengeful spirits echoed in his ears. The ancient blade was roaring silently, and countless distorted, suffering human faces appeared on its blade.

Lu Xuan suppressed the deep desire in his heart, he sneered, and his terrifying divine sense instantly spread out, scanning every inch of the place.

He didn’t want to be ambushed; it was always better to be cautious!
