342: Are you trying to fleece the sheep of heaven?

Zhuo Yongyi was naturally no exception.

He led Lu Hao and the other two as they wove through the crowd. Whenever people around saw Zhuo Yongyi, they would smile and say, "Greetings, Captain Zhuo!"

Lu Hao asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhuo, why do they address you as Captain Zhuo?"

Zhuo Yongyi chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you might not know this, but our Yi Tian Alliance is a temporarily formed Alliance. The allocation and coordination of personnel are naturally not as good as those long-established Sect factions."

"Therefore, the entire Yi Tian Alliance adopts a free organization System. The Alliance Leader commands everyone, and the five Vice Alliance Leaders each manage one element. I am in the Wood Element, and the one who manages me is that Vice Alliance Leader who Cultivates the Origin of Wood."

"Then, there are the Cultivators at the Great Perfection of Undergoing Tribulation. Each one is at the Captain level, but they must find their own team members."

"That is why I took the initiative to find you, Fellow Daoist Lu, and invite you to join my team."

As they talked, Zhuo Yongyi brought Lu Hao to his territory. Zhuo Yongyi waved his hand and said with a faint smile, "Look, Fellow Daoist Lu, these are the members of my squad, about three hundred in total. With your addition, Fellow Daoist Lu, it's like adding wings to a tiger, and the chances of obtaining treasures in the ruins have increased."

Lu Hao looked at the three hundred or so people around him. There were only three at the Late Stage of Undergoing Tribulation, eleven at the Middle Stage, most were in the Mahayana Realm, and there were even a small number of Void Refining Cultivators.

Lu Hao joked, "Fellow Daoist Zhuo, it seems I will have to address you as Captain Zhuo as well."

"Hahaha, you are too kind, that is completely unnecessary. If possible, let us continue to address each other as Fellow Daoist in the future. I am only one small Realm higher than you, and besides, you have two helpers at the Middle Stage of Undergoing Tribulation!"

"How can that be? Since I have joined your squad, I must naturally follow the rules of the Yi Tian Alliance. Otherwise, if others see it, how will you be able to command these three hundred-plus people?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yongyi scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, but after thinking for a moment, he ultimately decided not to be overly polite anymore.

"Right, Fellow Daoist Lu, there is one more thing. Since the people in the Yi Tian Alliance are temporarily assembled and have absolutely no foundation of trust, we all need to take a Heavenly Dao Oath."

"The content is very simple: just state clearly that you will not backstab the allies of the Yi Tian Alliance."

Lu Hao was a bit surprised; the content of this oath was actually quite lenient, so he began to take the Heavenly Dao Oath.

Lu Xiaolong and Stubborn Ox also followed Lu Hao.

Seeing this, Zhuo Yongyi extended his right hand and said with a beaming smile, "Welcome, Fellow Daoist Lu, to my Yi Tian Alliance team!"

"Captain Zhuo, you are too kind."

After Lu Hao took the Heavenly Dao Oath, the Heavenly Dao, which overlooks all living beings from above the Nine Heavens, was undergoing a very violent change!

The Heavenly Dao Oath is the cheapest restrictive means in the Cultivation world, often useful in many situations, such as in the Yi Tian Alliance where mutual trust is low.

When every Cultivator takes a Heavenly Dao Oath, it involves an extremely tiny trace of the power of the Heavenly Dao. The higher the cultivation base, the more of the power of the Heavenly Dao is involved.

If someone violates this oath later, this extremely tiny trace of the power of the Heavenly Dao will backlash against the Cultivator; at best, it results in serious injury, and at worst, it leads to death and the dissipation of the Dao.

The Heavenly Dao Oath taken by Lu Hao was no exception.

The moment his oath was spoken, endless power of the Heavenly Dao began to subconsciously converge into Lu Hao's Karma line!

If the power of the Heavenly Dao involved with other Cultivators could be compared to a drop of water, then the power of the Heavenly Dao that Lu Hao was pulling at this very moment was enough to form an ocean!

Furthermore, as time passed, a continuous stream of the power of the Heavenly Dao kept converging, showing no signs of stopping at all.

This situation could be said to be the first of its kind since ancient times!

Ever since this world was born, such a situation had never occurred!

It was precisely under these circumstances that the Heavenly Dao actually began to show faint signs of awakening.

The Heavenly Dao is ruthless; it maintains the relative fairness of the world, and all Cultivators are equal under the Heavenly Dao.

It acts based on its own instincts. If a Cultivator has a Breakthrough, it sends down a Lightning Tribulation; if a Cultivator massacres living beings, it sends down karmic fire to burn their Divine Soul.

If someone takes a Heavenly Dao Oath, it divides a trace of the power of the Heavenly Dao to act as a witness!

Lu Hao's Heavenly Dao Oath was the same at the beginning.

But the situation this time seemed to have changed drastically compared to before.

The Karma involved in this oath was far too great!

The Great Dao had used a full one-tenth of the power of the Heavenly Dao, yet it was still far from enough to witness Lu Hao's oath!

Consequently, this triggered the Heavenly Dao's instinctive self-preservation System.

Since it could not witness it, then it would just let it be.

It couldn't just sacrifice itself to maintain its own fairness, right?

Thus, the endless power of the Heavenly Dao that had already gathered within Lu Hao's Karma line began to be slowly retracted by the Heavenly Dao.

All of this was observed clearly by Lu Hao. At this moment, his mind was completely attached to his own Karma line, and seeing such vast power of the Heavenly Dao, he felt envious.

Although he didn't know what the power of the Heavenly Dao was actually useful for, the System had once told him that he had better not absorb things from this world, and presumably, this power of the Heavenly Dao fell into that category.

However, his instincts told him that this thing definitely had great utility!

So, after only a brief moment of thought, Lu Hao made his move!

So what if it is the power of the Heavenly Dao? You want to leave after coming here?! Stay for me!

On the Karma line, Lu Hao's Divine Sense instantly struck with full force, transforming into an incredibly huge palm, grabbing fiercely toward that power of the Heavenly Dao.

The power of the Heavenly Dao seemed to have sensed Lu Hao's intentions and immediately went berserk!

The incredibly violent power of the Heavenly Dao quickly condensed into an unimaginably terrifying giant sword. The fluctuations on the giant sword were extremely violent; the Lightning Tribulation was simply incomparable before it!

Just a single trace of this power of the Heavenly Dao was comparable to the entire energy of a Lightning Tribulation of an Ascension powerhouse!

On the silent battlefield, Lu Hao's giant palm and the giant sword began to collide.

"Boom!!!"

Within Lu Hao's mind, it was as if he heard a tremendously vast collision sound.

As the giant palm formed by his Divine Sense began to slowly crumble, it was clear that the giant sword formed by the power of the Heavenly Dao was not something the current Lu Hao could contend with.

After a moment of stalemate, the giant palm was directly shattered by the giant sword, transforming back into Divine Sense, and condensed into Lu Hao's figure in the distance.

Lu Hao's expression was somewhat solemn as he stared fixedly at the giant sword. His figure had become somewhat blurry, no longer as solid as it was at the beginning.

In this collision, one-tenth of his Divine Sense had actually been destroyed!
