CHAPTER 746: CHAPTER 470: BLACK ANNIHILATION SWALLOWING BODY

Du Meng looked behind him, his eyes stunned.

In the void, at some unknown time, a white dot appeared. It had no mass, no meaning, extremely abstract and chaotic, as if it were the starting point of all concepts!

The white dot slowly rotated, spreading and contracting like a Tai Chi Diagram, where Yin and Yang first opened from chaos, and the Five Elements came into being. The meaningless world now had brilliance and concept.

Then, the white dot continued to expand, spreading like a cosmic explosion, scattering countless rules and concepts into the universe, forming space-time, evolving stars.

Plants burst forth, full of vitality!

A magnificent universe was thus formed.

Martial God Spear Twelfth Form: The Law of Entropy Reversal!

Du Meng was immersed in this indescribable principle of Dao, unable to extricate himself. In that instant, he almost doubted his Dao. Fortunately, his Dao heart was firm, and he forcibly extricated himself. His perspective continued to rise, detaching from the universe, seeing a towering tree beyond words.

The so-called world was nothing but a seed on the tree, above the three thousand Po Suo leaves, a figure in a white robe stood at the clouds, overlooking him like a Creator.

"Huu..."

Du Meng opened his eyes, detached from the illusion. His eyes were confused for a moment before regaining firmness. He looked at the endless spear formation that appeared again ahead of him, like a world.

"I lost. It seems you’ve already comprehended what I have and further advanced."

Du Meng instead regained his calm.

He was never afraid of failure, nor did he crave victory. Everything he did was for battle, for becoming stronger! The only meaning of his life was to pursue the true meaning of Martial Arts, to explore the end of Martial Arts, nothing more!

He was also an absolute martial fanatic!

Lu Chenzhou said, "Your punch is strong! Below the Heavenly King, there are very few who can withstand it. There is no right or wrong between us, only that our paths are different. Thank you, for assisting me in validating this final spear."

In the mind.

The Martial Arts Tree rapidly grew, expanding from over sixty thousand zhang to seventy thousand zhang in a short time, transcending beyond.

[Chaos: Third Rank (70%)]

[Withering and Flourishing: Third Rank (1%)]

[...]

The types of Dao Yun contained in this spear exceed the previous eleven spears combined, making it Lu Chenzhou’s strongest spear, even surpassing early killing moves in terms of power!

Du Meng seemed insightful and sincerely asked, "Lu, this spear of yours, it’s not just the world, is it?"

Lu Chenzhou smiled mysteriously:

"It is, and it isn’t."

"I see... This eastward journey was indeed worthwhile. Thank you for your guidance. Someday, when my fist technique advances further, we will duel again."

"Are you returning to the West?"

"No... I plan to leave the planet, to tread the starry skies, to walk an extremely challenging path of cultivation. I am not sure if I will succeed. In any case, when I return from the star sea, I will surely be of the Heavenly Realm."

Du Meng’s figure dissipated.

Lu Chenzhou murmured, "The starry skies, huh?"

The dimension where the Xia Realm is located should be the vastest part of this universe, precisely because of the starry skies.

The starry skies are boundless, lonely, harsh...

It’s very difficult to cultivate there.

But he could feel that Du Meng’s Dao was somewhat similar to the Ape God Ancestor, one of the Ultimate Strength of the [Star Gravity] and the other of the [Way of Destruction] of the [Star Evolution], even evolving toward a kind of Dao he had never seen before. In any case, the potential was high!

"I wish you triumph."

Lu Chenzhou’s Dao is inseparable from the world, from all living beings, unlike Du Meng. Du Meng can pursue Dao and leave behind family and civilization.

His Dao lies in the Xia Realm!

...

[Du Meng challenged Lu Chenzhou and lost!]

The merciless sound of the Great Dao on the Heavenly Person List echoed.

[Lu Chenzhou: Heavenly Person List 600.]

[Du Meng: Heavenly Person List 888.]

The Great Grandmasters came to the Inner Scenery Land, looked at the list on the peak of Martial Arts, their hearts itching. They seemed to know the details of this battle would surely be world-shocking!

"Indeed, the first genius must belong to our Da Xia. No one can shake Chief Lu!"

"Chief Lu, with Middle Realm Great Grandmaster cultivation, could break into the top 600 of the potential Heavenly King level, truly astounding."

"Our Wanxiang Dao should be the first Daoist sect of the present age, hahaha, it’s truly invigorating!"

"Even though Du Meng lost, he made it into position 888, seems like his strength has reached the End Realm level as well."

"They are all fierce people indeed."

Soon, the final result of Lu Chenzhou and Du Meng spread across the Wanbang Council and the Human World.

...

On this day.

Countless people in Su City watched as Du Meng left the Base City, laughing towards the sky, then soared into the sky, turning into a beam of light, passing through the atmosphere, and disappearing from the Human World!

...

Silver Eagle Federation.

The Heavenly King Elders were shaken.

"Du Meng disappeared?"

"Yes, it seems he left the planet."

"Is he crazy? The starry sky is vast and boundless, with no other life. How can he cultivate alone?"

"Perhaps he seeks to walk the path of solitary cultivation."

"Damn it, as the first genius of the West, forsaking civilization and leaving without a word?"

"Go after him! Bring him back!"

"This lad must have obtained a treasure in the Dragon Realm, even if a Heavenly King acts, it would be hard to bring him back."

"Then kill him, let the treasure benefit our civilization!"

...

Meanwhile.

Demon Palace.

"Lord Red Lotus, the Four Emperors’ seed, Du Meng, has left the planet. This is a great opportunity to ambush this lad."

Many Demon Emperors were holding a meeting.

A fiery red beast’s illusory shadow slowly solidified.

"The starry sky of this dimensional world is vast. With his mere Fifth Realm cultivation, stepping into it recklessly is a death wish. He must have a Dao-protecting treasure. Very well, [Silver Horn] and [Gold Horn], both of you are skilled in the way of the Void, immediately head to the starry sky and hunt down this lad.

If you fail, return quickly, don’t waste time. Our focus should still be on the Da Xia Civilization. Finding a way to kill Lu Chenzhou before he reaches the Heavenly Realm is the righteous path!"

Red Lotus Demon Venerable spoke with a chilling tone.

In its eyes, only Lu Chenzhou mattered!

Others were insignificant!

...

Su City Base City.

School dinner.

"Junior Brother, you are impressive, defeating Du Meng with just one strike? No wonder he fled to outer space in disgrace."

Ji Feiyan was animated.

Lu Chenzhou briefly recounted the battle to everyone; as for the details, they wouldn’t understand even if he explained.

"Is Senior Sister Ruyu still in seclusion?"

He asked after glancing around.

"Ruyu was stimulated by my Breakthrough Third and said she wants to become a grandmaster before sixty," Ji Feiyan said.

"Alright then."

Old Ji said, "Chenzhou, you are already ranked 600th as an imminent Heavenly King, who do you plan to challenge next?"

"No one."

"You’re really unfazed, aren’t you?"

Lu Chenzhou already had a target in mind; it was the Sixth Realm powerhouse of the Blood Hidden Tower’s branch, [Heart Piercing Needle·Carter Hill], a seasoned spiritual grandmaster from Po Suo. According to intelligence, under the help of the Blood Hidden Building Master, he recently broke through to a Heavenly King.

Lu Chenzhou himself had a spiritual power at the initial realm of a spiritual grandmaster, and he planned to visit him in a few days.

Since it involved an operation against a Heavenly King, this capture operation had additional help, all recently broken into the initial realm of a Heavenly King, meant for training.

Once everyone gathered, they would set off.

But this being his first battle against a Heavenly King, and one of life and death, proper preparations were essential.

...

Time flew by, several months passed.

Farewell to the old, welcome the new, and in the blink of an eye, it was the year 2252.

Inner Scenery Land.

Lu Chenzhou’s figure emerged, with 570 Acupoint Heavenly Stars shining above his head in resonance, the power of Divine Storage flowing into heaven and earth, causing a small-range qualitative transformation of his body.

When the Star Primordial True Gang was released, there would be the phenomenon of a star array formation, with improvements in both quality and quantity.

"Acupoint has also stepped into the End Realm."

At the peak of Martial Arts, changes occurred on the Heavenly Person List.

[Lu Chenzhou: 580th place]

"Moved forward again, now before the 570th in the rankings, they are all Heavenly Kings. The nine between 571 and 579 are at the limit in Qi-Blood and Acupoint, living for hundreds of years, and have also solidified the Heaven-reaching Immortal Armor grandmaster."

Among them, there was one Lu Chenzhou was very familiar with.

It was none other than [Mountain Lord Wu Long], Wu Long had average talent, achieving his current realm through gradual honing over time.

Another month, and it would be the renewal election within the Wanxiang Dao’s factions. Wu Long wanted him to succeed as the leader of the Tiger Faction because Wu Long would soon retreat to make a breakthrough for the Heavenly King. His future was uncertain with his average talent.

According to rules, he still needed to fairly compete with several other Tiger Grandmaster candidates in Tiger Form Fist, without using Divine Weapons, and the final winner could succeed.

Currently, within the entire Wanxiang Dao, there were only five Tiger Grandmasters: him, Sword Embracing Tiger, Wu Long, and two others, one in End Realm, one in Stop Realm, both elderly.

Originally, by Lu Chenzhou’s character, these vain titles were indifferent to him. But Wu Long reminded him, should he become the faction leader, he could wield the [Mountain Lord Seal], obtain the [Mountain Lord] title, and during battle, use the Mountain Lord Seal to harness the Tiger Form Heavenly Heart Imprint’s [Xuan Jun] power. With this treasure, Lu Chenzhou could confront a Heavenly King head-on!

"I should go. Obtaining the Mountain Lord Seal first before hunting that Blood Hidden branch Heavenly King would be more reliable."

...

Vast starry sky.

Deep beneath the surface of the moon.

A deep blue irregular sphere gently rotated, with a world unto itself inside, an apparent Cave Heaven World, where a wounded Du Meng floated.

A projection resembling a Golden Dragon emerged in the sky, with dragon eyes seemingly containing an entire starry sky.

"How did you get injured?"

"Unexpectedly chased down by people from the Silver Eagle Federation, some old ones there even covet my treasure."

Du Meng sneered.

The Golden Dragon said, "No matter. Once you return from the starry sky, these Heavenly Kings would just be a bunch of chickens and dogs."

"Even those from the Demon Palace are pursuing me."

"It’s alright. If you survive this ordeal, you’ll surely advance further. Keep it up, that Lu Chenzhou is already far ahead of you. You cannot fall too far behind, the Divine Court has many relics hidden in this starry sky. Before the Divine War, the Ape God Ancestor and other great powers once attained Dao here. Follow my path and continue cultivating the "Black Annihilation Swallowing Body." I can’t promise that you’ll surpass him, but it’s hopeful for you to become a great power. After the cosmic great destruction, even mortals have the hope to become gods. Young one, you must seize this opportunity! The Devouring Skill in this starry sky has great potential!"
