CHAPTER 281: CHAPTER 266: THE TRUE STRENGTH OF LU CHEN

"Damn it..."

Wang Xu’s face was ashen at this moment, and flames of anger burned in his eyes.

When he saw the ninety-three million beings crawling on the ground inside the palace, he was even more furious, his teeth grinding noisily!

On the way to the Blue Demon Palace, Senior Brother Lu Chen had told him the "history" of the Blue Demon Star Domain.

Wang Xu listened, visibly shaken, filled with wrath and shock.

"To cultivate the Eye of Life and Death, they actually used the blood of living beings as nourishment, a billion lives at a time!" Hearing this, Wang Xu suddenly remembered the three ancestral calamities that Earth had once faced, so similar to now.

Back then, the people of Earth were treated just like these beings crawling on the ground, like pigs and dogs, with no dignity or status whatsoever.

The matter of the three races made Wang Xu thunderously angry, and this memory resurfaced, mixed with the extremely familiar scene before him, causing Wang Xu’s thoughts to seem to return to that time... Even though his mental state had been cultivated to be extremely solid within the Sand Tower, faced with the specter he remained unmoved, but when reality truly descended in front of him, it was still difficult to restrain the anger in his heart.

"He’s done this, and for so many years, is there no one to stop him?" Wang Xu asked angrily.

"Stop him? When you came here, you must have seen the environment around the Blue Demon Star Domain." Senior Brother Lu Chen said, "Dead, waste stars, desolate cosmic corners, with the nearest Star Domain being thirty-thousand light-years away, even the teleport points are strictly guarded, do you think such a Star Domain would attract anyone’s attention?"

Wang Xu gritted his teeth, knowing that the Blue Demon Star Domain was located in a remote area of the Eastern Domain, a Star Domain like this mostly poor, barren, with no wealth to explore, fundamentally unattractive to any Wu Meng Warrior to waste time here.

In such a Star Domain, with the emperor far away, important figures simply have no time to care about here.

"Senior Brother Lu Chen, did you encounter the same thing?" Wang Xu asked.

Senior Brother Lu Chen nodded, "Back then I came to the Blue Demon Star Domain to search for Wu Meng Spirit Essence, and just happened to encounter a large-scale capture of beings by the Blue Demon Envoy."

"They tried to capture me, but I naturally couldn’t comply easily. I fought back directly and killed the Blue Demon Envoy trying to capture me. It was this act that provoked more Blue Demon Envoys to hunt me down, but these Blue Demon Envoys, in my view, were completely indefensible."

In those days, Lu Chen dared to apply to enter the Wu Meng Sacred Cosmos, and must have backed by powerful strength, although these Blue Demon Envoys were all War Venerables, they were no match for Lu Chen.

And at this time, Blue Demon heard of the situation and personally set out to capture Lu Chen.

"Blue Demon had already reached the Demigod Chaos Realm back then. Although my strength could match the Demigod Chaos Realm, I was still not his opponent. So I fled everywhere, chased by him for six thousand light-years. Later, he gave up the chase, and I successfully escaped as a result."

Senior Brother Lu Chen’s eyes flickered, "I have to say, I still quite thank Blue Demon, if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have encountered what happened afterward, nor would I have obtained the Wu Meng Spirit Essence... When I was at the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion refining the Wu Meng Spirit Essence and achieved strength comparable to the Celestial God Realm, I vowed in my heart, if in this life I had the chance to return to the Wu Meng Sacred Cosmos, I must make sure to ’repay’ him well!"

......

Whoosh!

Blue Demon’s figure rose instantly, his face gloomy, watching Wang Xu and Lu Chen from afar.

"It’s you!" The memory of a Cosmic Martial Artist is always strong, even after millions of years, just one look at Lu Chen’s face made Blue Demon immediately recall.

"Back then I let you escape, and yet you dared to return!" Blue Demon sneered cruelly, "Unfortunately, your blood is not pure enough to serve as blood food for my Eye of Life and Death."

Blue Demon could sense that Lu Chen was a five-star Super War King back then (Invincible White Hole Level), and is still a five-star Super War King now, with no change in realm at all.

"This person back then could match me in the War King Realm, but after the battle, he was still fleeing everywhere, if not for the Eye of Life and Death creating a crack that required blood food for nourishment, I would never have let him escape!" Blue Demon thought secretly, "Now he is still in the War King Realm, but his strength is evidently somewhat stronger. Perhaps he has obtained some kind of treasure and thought he could rely on it to kill me, only then did he dare return for revenge."

Without advancement in Realm, the potential to be tapped is very limited; with a five-star Super War King Realm, matching his six-star Super War Venerable strength, he had already reached the limit of a War King, impossible to continue rising.

This was Blue Demon’s understanding, though he seemed unaware of the existence of Wu Meng Spirit Essence, or Life Index.

"Back then you chased me for six thousand light-years, I vowed to reclaim all of it tenfold, a hundredfold from you!" Senior Brother Lu Chen’s words were chilling.

"Laughable ant, do you think getting a treasure, having a bit of an opportunity, you can kill me? I’ll let you know that in my eyes, you are nothing but an ant, utterly powerless to resist!"

Blue Demon laughed arrogantly, blue-gray wings on his back unfurled, and a pair of Eyes of Life and Death exuded killing intent through their slits.

"Black Gold Ruler!"

Lu Chen’s hand clenched, and a ruler forged from black gold, enveloped in golden Qi, emerged.

The Black Gold Ruler appeared, golden light shining, as if the heavens and earth instantly dimmed, leaving only this one brilliant light.

A divine aura exuded, this Black Gold Ruler was undoubtedly a Divine Treasure.

"Cyan Dragon!" Lu Chen shouted angrily, and from the Black Gold Ruler erupted a crisp dragon’s roar, with a faint cyan dragon’s shadow roaring and surging forth with Lu Chen’s furious cleave!

The Cyan Dragon’s roar shook the heavens and the earth, as it passed, the void shattered inch by inch, and the overwhelming might that emanated caused the ninety-three million beings below to cringe and tremble.

"Five Dragons Responding to Heaven"

This was the ancient inheritance obtained by Senior Brother Lu Chen, of absolute power. Before entering the Wu Meng Sacred Cosmos, Senior Brother Lu Chen, with just "Five Dragons Responding to Heaven," became the most likely candidate to be the chief disciple in the White Sun Hall.

As the Cyan Dragon appeared, it gradually enlarged in Blue Demon’s eyes.

"The same technique from back then, with no progress whatsoever, today you’ll surely die!"

Blue Demon sneered disdainfully, a surging momentum exploded violently, causing Wang Xu’s pupils to suddenly contract.

Within the aura of the Blue Demon, there was unexpectedly a trace of the Celestial God Realm’s unique aura.

"Dark Blue Wolf Soul!" The Blue Demon waved his large hand, and a light and nimble dark blue soul floated out, landing before him, gradually forming a massive dark blue wolf.

The dark blue wolf galloped in the void, fiercely pouncing at the Cyan Dragon.

Awoooo—

Roar—

Beast-like roars echoed through the heavens and earth, and the battle between Lu Chen and the Blue Demon was about to erupt instantly.

Boom!!!!

"Yellow Dragon!" Senior Brother Lu Chen wielded the Black Gold Ruler, his figure moved swiftly, pressing towards the Blue Demon.

The Blue Demon wasn’t willing to show weakness, and in his hand appeared a great saber with a wolf’s head, confronting him head-on.

These two powerhouses surpassed the Mixed Universe Realm, their strength reaching directly to the Celestial God Realm, their battle power sufficient to tear apart the heavens and earth.

Wang Xu didn’t participate in the battle, instead, he set his sights on the Blue Demon envoys below.

This was Senior Brother Lu Chen’s battle for revenge, it was best to let him complete it alone, as for the rest of these people, they became Wang Xu’s targets.

"Die!"

The Double-Headed Dragon Slash appeared, Wang Xu coldly gazed at the Blue Demon envoys below, the smoldering anger still present in his eyes. He took a step forward, instantly appearing behind a Blue Demon envoy.

As the great saber fell, the life aura of the Blue Demon envoy silently extinguished.

"None of you will escape today!" Wang Xu suddenly turned his head, a ferocious glint in his eyes.

......

"Damn it! How can his strength be so strong!"

The Blue Demon fought with Lu Chen for a moment, and upon realizing Lu Chen’s true strength, his face drastically changed, "Clearly just a five-star super War King, yet his strength is almost equal to mine, I who have obtained the Eye of Life and Death and undergone transformation to possess the aura of a War God!"

"I am a divine being, how could I possibly be defeated by an ant!"

The Blue Demon roared, his surging momentum once again skyrocketing as he suddenly burned his own Mixed Universe!

In the Wu Meng Sacred Cosmos, although the names for cosmic martial artists differ, there are still voids, black holes, white holes, and the Mixed Cosmos.

After burning his Mixed Universe, the Blue Demon’s strength increased several levels, his assault became incredibly fierce, compared to which, the previous was like a drizzle, but now it was a torrential downpour!

"Finally showing your true strength?" Senior Brother Lu Chen observed without any panic, instead revealing a slight smile, followed by a sudden surge of life aura.

"What?!"

The Blue Demon was shocked, "He hadn’t even used his full strength against me just now... this..."

The Blue Demon had strong confidence in his own strength, cultivating it over millions of years to a level comparable to a War God, able to contend even against a War God-level figure, and if he burned his Mixed Universe, he could even fight against a War God-level figure.

Yet such strength, the other actually also possessed.

Is this still a five-star super War King? Why is he so strong!

Lu Chen’s strength exploded, even though the Blue Demon had burned his Mixed Universe, he was still overwhelmed by Lu Chen’s vigor.

Now Lu Chen was like a lion that had awakened, fierce and unstoppable!

Below, Wang Xu’s hand wiped through the air, the blood from the Double-Headed Dragon Slash scattered all around, beneath his feet and behind him, blood spread, heaps of Blue Demon envoy corpses lay in pools of blood, some beheaded, some split in two, others had their hearts sliced into countless pieces.

Wang Xu felt no pity for anyone; even if 93 million lives perished before him in a border war, there would be no ripple in his heart.

Yet the actions of the Blue Demon touched a chord within Wang Xu’s heart, striking his final bottom line, making Wang Xu furious beyond measure, simply using this sinful blood to wash away his wrath.

"Senior Brother Lu Chen is truly terrifying when serious." Wang Xu kept a close eye on Lu Chen and the Blue Demon’s battle, gaining many insights from their clash, but more than that, he came to understand more about Senior Brother Lu Chen’s strength.

Before this, Wang Xu had never seen Senior Brother Lu Chen in action, always having only heard of his ability to rival the Celestial God Realm, capable of hunting Celestial God Realm figures, but never witnessing it himself.

And now, Wang Xu personally, closely, and vividly felt this overpowering sense of strength comparable to the Celestial God Realm.

......

"No... no... if this continues, I will definitely die!"

Blood trickled from the Blue Demon’s mouth, struck directly through the flesh into his spiritual consciousness by Lu Chen’s "Red Dragon," nearly collapsing him.

With things reaching this point, the Blue Demon could no longer care about much, gritting his teeth, the deep gray wings behind him abruptly unfolded.
