Chapter 213 - 165: Blessed by Dragon Fortune, Ascending to the Ninth Realm, Dragon Gate
Inside the Wilderness Mini World.
A quarter of an hour had passed since the tribulation.
The tribulation clouds had mostly scattered. Only a final bolt of heavenly lightning remained, yet it churned madly, as if determined to strike down the human beneath the Dragon Gate on the spot!
Sixteen bolts of heavenly lightning erupted simultaneously. Countless silver serpents and electric pythons danced wildly in the air, converging within the vortex of thunderclouds into a massive pillar of lightning. With dazzling brilliance, it smashed down ferociously toward Lu Mingyuan below!
The space between heaven and earth was a sea of electric light!
At this moment, Lu Mingyuan finally felt the might of this tribulation.
Bathed in the light of the lightning, he looked just like a Celestial Human.
His heart surged with excitement as he welcomed his own Breaking Realm!
WHOOSH—
BOOM!
The Thunder Tribulation instantly engulfed Lu Mingyuan, nearly leveling the valley.
「A moment later.」
His figure flashed across the sky, passing through the Dragon Gate in an instant. It burst with light, supporting Lu Mingyuan’s body as his Flesh Body completed its transformation.
Natural Thunder Patterns appeared one after another on his Flesh Body. A Flame Divine Pattern materialized between his brows. The Acupoints within him, continuously struck by the thunderclouds, absorbed enough power from the Thunder Tribulation to begin forming new ones, officially bringing his total number of Acupoints to ten thousand!
It must be known that ten thousand Acupoints was the highest record in the ancient texts. No one had ever opened ten thousand Acupoints at the Dragon Gate.
This meant Lu Mingyuan was about to enter the strongest possible Ninth Realm.
The black clouds in the surrounding area immediately stopped their downpour and slowly dissipated.
Lu Mingyuan couldn’t hide the excitement in his heart.
He had officially entered the Dragon Gate Realm and become a Ninth Realm Martial Artist.
[Blood Glutton Celestial Fall Scripture - Divine Sensing Chapter (Tenth Floor: 0/1,000,000)]
The Divine Sensing Chapter had reached the Tenth Floor.
The points required had also reached a terrifying number: one million.
[Azure Destiny - Martial Venerable, Refinement Level increased to 80%]
[Trait "Grandmaster" and Trait "Venerable" have each been promoted]
[Grandmaster (High Level): I am a Grandmaster, capable of observing all techniques. I can survey all Martial Arts and comprehend them without a teacher. My progress in learning Martial Arts Techniques is twenty times faster than the original rate. It is extremely easy to comprehend "Momentum," and the efficiency of "Momentum" Cultivation is greatly increased.]
[Venerable (Middle Level): I am the venerable one in Martial Arts; those who see me must bow their heads. When fighting against Martial Artists of the same realm, my strength, Primordial Qi, and aura will stack significantly as the battle continues.]
Lu Mingyuan was still immersed in the joy of his Breaking Realm.
HUMMM!
HUMMM!
A sudden humming sound filled the air, and strange ripples appeared layer by layer in the sky above.
This astonishing pressure enveloped the entire Little World, causing all the living creatures within to tremble in fear, not daring to move an inch.
BOOM!
Lu Mingyuan looked up again, only to see that a massive dark cloud had appeared in the sky at some unknown time.
Two slits slowly opened in the center of the dark cloud, like a pair of enormous eyes opening. The golden, amber-like Dragon Eyes were extremely conspicuous.
Lu Mingyuan recognized the source at a glance.
It was the owner of the giant Dragon Eyes he had seen in the sky when the Barrier broke.
’A Great Demon of the Demon Race?’
Lu Mingyuan felt a sense of danger, but soon, on the other side of the sky, the facial silhouette of an old Daoist in a white robe appeared. With an immortal-like bearing and an indifferent expression, he shattered the in-world avatar of the Dragon Eyes’ owner.
In an instant, the crisis was resolved.
Before the white-robed old Daoist’s Celestial Dao phantom dissipated, it glanced at Lu Mingyuan.
Lu Mingyuan had the strange feeling that the old Daoist had nodded at him.
Afterward, the storm passed.
Everything returned to peace.
Lu Mingyuan didn’t know what had just happened in that short span of time, but he knew he was safe again.
WHOOSH!
Suddenly, the Dao-character Jade Token in his Acupoints emitted a brilliant light.
Lu Mingyuan immediately took out the Jade Token.
’What’s happening? Could something have happened in the direction of the ancient ruins at the Grotto Heaven Center’s battlefield?’
He couldn’t help but wonder.
Then, his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
He sped toward the central region!
The breakthrough had taken too much time. If he didn’t hurry...
...these geniuses of the Human Race would be finished.
He traveled at full speed, using a Divine Speed Talisman.
「In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.」
Lu Mingyuan saw the phantom of an ancient city in the distance, shimmering with a Grand Array that looked like an overturned golden bowl.
’This seems to be an Ancient Battlefield?’
But the situation was grim.
More than half of the majestic city wall before him had collapsed; only a few ruined sections still stood.
Faint rumbling sounds could still be heard from within the city. The battle between the Human Race and the various clans of Barbaric Beasts seemed not to be completely over.
Dozens of Human Race Cultivators were hung on the ruined walls. All of them had been pierced through by black iron spikes, nailing them to the wall.
Some of the Human Race Cultivators had already bled out and died, while others were still wailing and struggling.
The scene was utterly tragic. Blood flowed continuously down the wall, pooling together and turning a depression at the base of the wall into a pool of blood.
Looking closer, Lu Mingyuan finally saw the general situation at the central position.
The Crown Prince of Great Sui, Cao Zongxi, and the Eldest Prince of the Great Wu Dynasty were both nailed to the ruined wall.
A Princess from the Great Cotton Dynasty was already dead, her body cold and stiff.
But the Old Eunuch who had been by the side of the Crown Prince of Great Sui was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Mingyuan’s heart grew heavy.
The ancient city was still majestic, but it gave off a grim and chilling feeling, as if he had arrived at a Ghost City in the Underworld.
Lu Mingyuan stepped onto the blood-soaked sand, crossing the corpse-strewn battlefield. He walked step by step toward Yingsha Ancient City as the cold wind whipped his robes, making them flap with a "FLAP, FLAP" sound.
Large forces of the Demon Race were gathered both below and atop the walls of Yingsha Ancient City.
They had been left behind to guard the city gates. At this moment, they naturally also saw the human man slowly approaching the ancient city’s ruins.
