[Chat Group For The Death] Chapter 281 - 285

Chapter 281: Love is the mainstream!

"Who took the immortal monument? Give it back to this king!"

After the Immortal God King escaped from the seal, his first words were to demand the return of the Immortal Monument.

For thousands upon thousands of years, he had been suppressed by this magic weapon, and no one knew its power better than him. In his heyday, he was comparable to a vacuum-shattering powerhouse.

Although the main monument could suppress him, it didn't rely solely on its own strength. The fact that it could suppress him for so long with Changsheng Great Emperor's methods was enough to demonstrate the Immortal Monument's power.

What's more, during his years of suppression, the Immortal God King had been eroding the Lord's monument, nearly turning it into his own magic weapon. When Lucas suddenly appeared and took away the main monument, the Immortal God King was naturally unwilling to let it go.

"What a powerful magic weapon!"

Lucas held the Lord Monument in his hand as a burst of invigorating energy poured into it, unleashing the powerful force of the Five Elements.

The Immortal God King looked over and sneered. "In order to give this magic weapon the power to suppress me, Great Emperor Changsheng integrated an ancient treasure, the Mother of Five Elements, into the monument."

As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his palm, transforming it into a massive hand to grab both Lucas and the main monument.

"This immortal monument has been cultivated by me for ten thousand years. Do you think that holding it makes it yours? Hand it over! For the sake of you helping me escape early, I'll grant you a decent way to die."

As the Immortal God King extended his giant hand, a powerful mental attack shot toward Lucas, attempting to shock and intimidate him.

"Oh really?"

Lucas was neither shocked nor angered. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.

He glanced at the Immortal God King with a playful expression as four more immortal monuments flew out from him, quickly resonating with the main monument.

BOOM!

The five immortal monuments met like oil meeting fire, unleashing an incomparably powerful momentum that displayed the majesty of the king of artifacts.

The Immortal God King's sky-covering hand was struck by the momentum of the Divine Artifact King, shattering into nothingness in an instant.

The Immortal God King stared at Lucas with an ugly expression and asked, "You actually obtained the other four immortal monuments? What a clever trick! Did you kill the other four god-tier kings?"

Lucas smiled and replied, "That's right! The other four god-tier kings are already on their way, and now it's your turn. Are you ready? I'm very interested in your flesh and blood."

A terrifying flame of immense heat spewed from Lucas's hand, instantly enveloping the Immortal God King, refining his body into red blood energy and absorbing it into Lucas's own body.

Puff puff puff!

A series of crisp sounds came from Lucas's body as he forcibly opened six orifices one after another. The blood energy of the Immortal God King filled these openings, developing 100 small acupuncture points in each of the six piercings.

Know everything!

Lucas's body turned to liquid, then reassembled, flexibly transforming into animals, plants, and inanimate objects. Ninety-nine essence points flew out of his body and escaped into the middle-earth Thousand World of the Great Thousand World.

"I'm only one step away from crushing the vacuum!"

After absorbing the Immortal God King's blood, Lucas sensed his own strength level and nodded with great satisfaction.

Then Lucas directed the remaining blood energy of the Immortal God King out from his body and into Xiao Chen's, helping him to condense his form and open up his acupuncture points.

"You haven't practiced the martial arts of the Yang God World, nor the soul skills of this world. I suggest you learn both. A strong body and soul will help you advance to Dou Di."

"Although you can refine the souls and flesh of the strong in this world to strengthen your own soul and body, this method of strengthening is far less effective than cultivating the exercises native to this world."

"While I have some of the Immortal God King's flesh and blood at hand, I'll help you condense your body so you can become a peak human immortal as soon as possible. You'll have to work hard for your next promotion."

Lucas's power, along with the blood energy of the Immortal God King, entered Xiao Chen's body, working together to open the acupoints and create small spaces in his body that could contain blood and true energy.

[CHAT GROUP]

Dongfang Yuechu: Group Leader, aren't you being too partial? The flesh and blood of the Immortal God King is so useful, why did you give it all to Xiao Chen?

Lucas: Stop making trouble! The flesh and blood of the Immortal God King cannot be refined by just anyone. Those who aren't strong enough to absorb it will be assimilated by the blood of the Immortal God King.

Dongfang Yuechu: Assimilated by blood?

Lucas: That's right! I've reached this level now. Every inch of my flesh and blood contains my own will. If others refine my flesh and blood and they aren't strong enough, they'll be reversed by me.

Zheng Qizi: Can't you wipe out the will in your blood?

Lucas: Of course! But in that case, the blood's value would be greatly reduced. If you blindly use the treasures of heaven and earth, you won't be able to cultivate a truly strong warrior. Confronting the will of the Immortal King can hone your spirit and improve your realm—that's the real use of its flesh and blood.

Zheng Qizi: What a pity! the others can't use such a good thing.

Lucas: Nothing to regret! Although they can't use the Immortal God King's flesh and blood, there are other ways to improve their strength.

Back in the outside world, Lucas glanced at the cultivating Xiao Chen, and with a sweep of his hand, he led Xiao Xuan into the void.

Xiao Xuan wondered, "Group Leader, where are we going?"

Lucas replied, "In the world of the Yang God, there's a place where all things are born, called the Place of Origin! It's the treasure land of cultivation in the Yang God world and the most suitable place to improve strength."

Xiao Xuan nodded, then suddenly noticed dots of sand outside with a power of time rushing through them. "What is that?" he couldn't help asking.

Lucas replied, "The river of time flowing with the sand of time is the only way to reach the Place of Origin. It's because of this river's existence that ordinary people cannot enter. Only those who are truly strong can access the land of origin."

It didn't take long for a floating continent filled with powerful energy to appear before Lucas—the Place of Origin.

[CHAT GROUP]

Zheng Qizi: This is the Place of Origin? Group Leader is right, this is indeed a treasured place for cultivation.

Xiao Xuan: What are these energies? They feel very familiar, much stronger than the energy of heaven and earth in the Dou Qi Continent.

Lucas: This is the source of invigorating energy, the energy that can evolve all things in the world. Are those who want to improve their strength ready? I'll bring you over!

Namikaze Minato: I'm ready!

Senju Tobirama: Just waiting for you to pick us up!

Dongfang Yuechu: Does every world have one?

Whitebeard: Should be!

Senju Hashirama: It's so boring being in the Traverser Space. Can I go back first?

Lucas: Of course! Remember to keep some of your Traverser coins—don't spend them all. I want to see if other people will inherit your Traverser wealth after using your Traverser Seals.

Uchiha Madara: After we go back, is it possible that our Traverser coins will be reset to zero?

Lucas: It's only a possibility, which is why I want to use you guys to verify it. It just so happens that I don't have enough Traverser Seals on hand. Those who don't want to continue being Traversers can hand over their Seals to others.

Uchiha Madara: I want to continue being a Traverser, but I don't want to waste seven days here. It's boring—is there no way to relieve our boredom?

Zheng Qizi: Cultivation! The Yang God World cultivates the soul's exercises, and we can use them even in the state of the dead.

Uchiha Madara: Good idea, send me the exercises.

Zheng Qizi: No way! To cultivate the soul, you must have images as an aid. Without visualizable images, text alone is useless. Ordinary images have no charm and cannot be used for visualization. Come to our world!

Han Fei: Not all methods of cultivating the soul require images as the object of visualization—at least the "Book of Changes" doesn't need this. Reading and resting the mind can also enhance the power of the soul, but it needs thunder tribulation to stimulate them.

Uchiha Madara: I read the Book of Changes. It's obscure and difficult to understand. At least I can't understand it, so I'd better go to the world of the Yang God!

Lucas: That's normal! You haven't studied classical Chinese, so how could you possibly understand the Book of Changes written in classical Chinese? Come visit the world of Yangshen! It's a different kind of practice, and I'll give you a supplementary lesson.

Back in the outside world, with a grand wave of Lucas's hand, a powerful force poured out, transforming the floating continent before him. The Land of Origin wasn't just a single suspended continent—there were numerous suspended continents densely arranged, hanging in the air like stars.

A huge stone tablet flew from Lucas's hands—the complete Immortal Monument. It suddenly exploded, transforming into 480 million runes of various shapes that densely covered the suspended continent.

Afterward, a powerful attraction erupted from these runes, frantically extracting Origin Qi from outside the Hanging Continent. The connection between the inside and outside of the Hanging Continent was isolated by runes, and a massive amount of Origin True Ki was injected into the continent's interior.

The concentration of Origin True Ki on the Hanging Continent increased constantly, first turning into a mist of water and finally condensing into liquid energy. Xiao Chen opened his mouth and inhaled a large amount of Origin Real Water, immediately feeling an explosion of energy within his body that rapidly increased his strength.

"All right!"

"This place has been transformed into a real paradise by me. If you want to become stronger, come here to practice!"

Lucas looked at the Hanging Continent he had transformed, nodded with great satisfaction, and spoke in the chat group with a smile.

[CHAT GROUP]

Dongfang Yuechu: Can such a big place accommodate many people practicing at once?

Senju Tobirama: How many people do you want to send there?

Dongfang Yuechu: I originally just wanted to send my two daughters to strengthen them, but now I've changed my mind. Group Leader, can I send a few of my subordinates to study?

Han Fei: Are you sure? If I remember correctly, the forces outside your circle have already been dealt with by the Group Leader. When common enemies disappear, former allies often transform into new enemies.

Han Fei: What's more, your subordinates may not be truly loyal to you. Your former eldest disciple Jin Renfeng is a living example. Are you sure the subordinates you send will continue to obey your orders after gaining strength?

Dongfang Yuechu said optimistically: Isn't the Group Leader still there? No problem. As long as they realize that the Group Leader is my backer, they won't betray me easily.

Han Fei suddenly said: You want to wave the tiger-skin flag and use Group Leader to strengthen your prestige? If that's the case, you can send those restless individuals over, and we can help you keep them in line.

Dongfang Yuechu smiled and said: That's fine! But I feel there shouldn't be any major turmoil in our world. Now that outside forces are gone, the biggest conflict is between humans and demons.

Dongfang Yuechu: Under my management, the Yiqi Dao League has begun trying to coexist peacefully with the demon clan. With the support of the third young leader of Aolaiguo and Tu Shanhonghong, our world has already moved toward peace.

Lucas: It's inevitable for the Fox Spirit World to become peaceful. After all, your world isn't war-oriented. Your world is like the world of Stealing Stars—love is the mainstream!

Senju Tobirama: Group Leader, can our subordinates be sent to study too? If so, we may need some preparation time.

Namikaze Minato: Yes, we need to choose carefully. If it's not too troublesome, Group Leader, could you bring our relatives and friends first?

Zheng Qizi said unhappily: Hey, hey, hey! I said, you people, can you not be so extreme? You come here to study but consume the energy of our Yang God world. Group Leader, I suggest not letting so many people come to the Place of Origin. It's a waste of resources.

Xiao Xuan: If your world is relatively stable, I don't recommend sending your subordinates over. If their strength increases, will it truly benefit your world?

Xiao Xuan: There may be some advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Maybe they won't dare openly disagree with you because they fear the Group Leader, but their increased strength will also give them the means to secretly cause trouble.

Zheng Qizi: That's right! If your world is already relatively stable, don't overdo it.

Chapter 282: They died without regrets!

Under the strong protest of Zheng Qizi, Dongfang Yuechu and others had to abandon their idea of sending a training group. Indeed, the practice of sending people to other worlds to plunder energy seemed somewhat inappropriate.

More importantly, Xiao Xuan's words made sense. Their worlds were already stable, and they didn't need someone who suddenly became stronger to act as a destabilizing factor—except for their relatives and friends.

As for their subordinates, there was always that layer of uncertainty in those relationships. Since the strength of those subordinates wasn't critical anyway, Dongfang Yuechu and the others quickly changed their minds.

Lucas created numerous clones, traveling across heaven and earth to bring Tsunade and others to this place, and transported Senju Hashirama and the others from the Traverser Space to the Place of Origin.

"Practice well here, everyone!"

"The Origin True Ki is primarily energy, and doesn't help much with soul cultivation. Focus on cultivating physical martial arts, and the Origin True Ki can assist you."

"Xiao Xuan will stay here to prevent any accidents. Xiao Chen, come with me—there are a few worthy opponents here who can spar with you."

After settling the group, Lucas gave casual commands, waved his hand, and led Xiao Chen away.

[CHAT GROUP]

Xiao Xuan: Group Leader, who are these opponents you've prepared for Xiao Chen? This is the Place of Origin. Could there be some native origin creatures here?

Lucas: No, there are no native origin creatures in the Origin Land. The powerful beings here are basically from the outside world.

Dongfang Yuechu: Didn't you say that only the masters of the Yang God level and vacuum-crushing powerhouses can enter here?

Xiao Xuan: If they're Yang Gods and vacuum-crushing powerhouses, Xiao Chen probably isn't a match for them.

Lucas: Only Yang Gods and vacuum-crushing powerhouses can sense the existence of the Place of Origin and comprehend how to enter without guidance.

Liu Xing: That means people without the strength of Yang Gods and vacuum-crushers can still come here?

Lucas: That's right! All the leaders of the Central World are here because Emperor Changsheng and Shenghuangpan left them road maps to enter. In ancient times, there were also disciples of powerful Yang Gods and vacuum-crushing masters. Few know how to get in here.

Zheng Qizi: No wonder so many powerful individuals disappeared inexplicably in ancient times. They all came here! By the way, did the masters from the Middle Ages also come here?

Lucas: Yes, the ancient masters also came to the Place of Origin. But except for the leaders of the Central World, all other powerful individuals have settled here. They wanted to break through to the next realm, but unfortunately, there are no exceptions—all failed.

Zheng Qizi: Is this the place to advance to Yang God and vacuum-crushing levels? It's indeed a good place to improve strength. But none of those powerful beings succeeded?

Lucas: No, did you think advancement was so easy? Since ancient times, those who could advance to Yangshen and vacuum-crushing levels were all exceptional talents. People with insufficient qualifications will make no progress no matter how hard they try.

Lucas: In the original future, several geniuses born with great luck received the power inheritance of ancient emperors, yet still failed to advance to Yang God and vacuum-crushing levels.

Xiao Xuan: The inheritance of ancient emperor skills? Is this similar to the inheritance of Ancient Emperor Tuo She?

Lucas: There are similarities, but also significant differences. The inheritance of Ancient Emperor Tuo She can guarantee 100% promotion to Dou Di, but the inheritance from Yang God masters and vacuum-crushers cannot ensure advancement to their level.

Zheng Qizi: Why did those powerful individuals keep their inheritances here? If they had left their inheritances in the Great Thousand World, the Immortal Martial Heritage wouldn't be so fragmented.

Lucas: It's because of the uniqueness of the Place of Origin! Here, their consciousness can survive until the era breaks. They chose to pass on their skills mainly because of their various schools of thought.

Zheng Qizi: What did the masters and the hundred schools of thought do to them? The sudden disappearance of the Middle Ages masters remains an unsolved problem for scholars throughout the ages...

Lucas: The reason is simple. The Middle Ages princes joined forces to come to the Place of Origin. They wanted to build a king of artifacts and break the cycle of epoch replacement using the thoughts and remains of vacuum-crushing powerhouses.

Liu Xing: No way! Aren't those Yang Gods and vacuum-crushing powerhouses all figures like the ancient sage emperors? The Middle Ages princes and ancient sage emperors were all heroes of humanity, with similar values. How could such a conflict occur?

Han Fei: Clearly, you haven't studied the Book of Changes carefully. There's an essential contradiction between the ancient sage emperors and the ancient masters that prevented them from becoming Supreme Ninety-five.

Zheng Qizi: Even if they're all heroes of humanity, it doesn't mean they'll coexist peacefully. The Dao is cruel. Do you think Middle Ages scholars were all gentlemen? If reason fails to convince, physical destruction follows—this was also the practice of ancient philosophers.

Lucas: Essentially, they're all practitioners with their own pursuits. The thoughts of Yang God powerhouses and the remains of vacuum-crushers are priceless treasures for forging magic weapons. The Middle Ages princes wouldn't spare the ancient sage emperors, especially since they believed they were doing the right thing.

Dongfang Yuechu: Why do you say that?

Lucas: In the eyes of Middle Ages scholars, those Yang Gods and vacuum-crushing masters were already dead. They believed it was wrong for these ancients to retain their spirits and interfere with later generations. The dead should let go—and since those Yang Gods and vacuum-crushers were unwilling to let go, the Middle Ages princes helped them do so.

Lucas: The Middle Ages princes considered themselves righteous! In their view, the spirits in those thoughts and remains were no longer the emperors themselves, but residue that needed cleaning up. If confronted with the actual emperors, they certainly wouldn't have minded using the remains to help the world find a path to the other side.

Lucas: After all, the holy emperors were fierce individuals who would hear the Dao and be willing to die that very evening. They could glimpse the other side and died without regrets.

Chapter 283: Could it be because of Thunder Pond?

While communicating with the undead in the chat group, Lucas quickly passed through the space of the place of origin and arrived at a suspended continent that had been artificially transformed.

The leaders of all dynasties in the Central World were gathered here. After they had arrived at the place of origin one by one, they chose to form a group since they knew each other.

"Who dares to come here and act so presumptuously?"

After Lucas appeared with Xiao Xuan, they immediately attracted the attention of the Central World leaders. One by one, figures with powerful auras flew out from the floating continent, coldly eyeing Lucas and Xiao Xuan.

"Lord Lucas, this time the opponents are a bit stronger!"

Xiao Xuan narrowed his eyes and said to Lucas with a hint of concern.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine with this!"

Lucas smiled slightly and channeled the Eternal Kingdom into Xiao Xuan's body. The powerful force made Xiao Xuan's momentum skyrocket.

"A King of Artifacts?"

"If I'm guessing correctly, it should be the Eternal Kingdom of the Tao."

"Do you think you can come challenge us with just a King of Artifacts? That's too naive."

"We'll accept the King of Divine Artifacts as your tuition fee!"

The fifteen successive leaders of the Central World spoke one after another, eyeing the Eternal Kingdom in Xiao Xuan's hands with burning gazes, while completely disregarding Lucas and Xiao Xuan in their words.

"Suffer and die!"

Xiao Xuan had no intention of wasting words with them. With a wave of his hand, he drew his blood-colored axe, and with the blessing of the Eternal Kingdom, he charged fearlessly toward the group of leaders on the opposite side.

[Dead Chat Group]

Xiao Xuan: The power of the King of Divine Artifacts is truly impressive, giving Xiao Xuan the strength to challenge these tough leaders. Group Lord, what will happen to these leaders in the future?

Lucas: In the original timeline, the Sons of Destiny and the people of the Central World were hostile toward each other. Later, they arrived at the place of origin simultaneously, and the leaders of the Central World merged with the people of the Central World.

Xiao Xuan: No need to explain further. I already know the fate of these people. Since they oppose the Son of Destiny, they cannot escape being wiped out. Were their souls and bodies also refined into magic weapons?

Lucas: No, they weren't directly destroyed by the Son of Destiny. When the Son of Destiny and the Daoist fortune were in their decisive battle, the powerful force Yu Bo wiped them out.

Xiao Xuan: They don't even qualify to be forged into magic weapons? How pitiful!

Zheng Qizi: Are the leaders of the Central World really that strong? I noticed they used many powerful Taoism techniques.

Lucas: The leaders of the Central World have lived here for many years, and they've done more than just use the origins here to cultivate. They've collected treasures and wreckage from the fallen strong ones, and they even secretly excavated part of Zibaisheng's tomb.

Lucas: The subtle Taoist techniques they used weren't comprehended by themselves—they stole them from the tombs of saints. These people aren't even qualified to become Sun Gods or to smash the vacuum, so don't regard them too highly.

Xiao Xuan: I see! But I have a question: why didn't they join forces to create a King of Artifacts? Each of them has several powerful artifacts. Together, shouldn't they be able to make a King of Artifacts?

Lucas: What do you think a King of Artifacts is? Not everyone can create such a thing. Even a god or a vacuum-shattering powerhouse can't easily create a King of Artifacts.

Zheng Qizi: It must be the fault of the three great ancestors! Don't be misled by them. The idea of them joining forces to create a King of Divine Artifacts is just a dream.

Xiao Xuan: Really? I thought Kings of Divine Artifacts were rare because of insufficient materials for forging! If it's not a material problem, could it be because of Thunder Pond?

Lucas: That's not right! The Zushenshan Mountain in the future also had its own Thunder Pond, but that was of no use. Even with a Thunder Pond, the Ancestral God Mountain couldn't produce a King of Artifacts.

In the outside world, with the Eternal Kingdom as his support, Xiao Xuan unleashed a devastating Heavenly Cleave and overwhelmed the Central World leaders. Realizing they were no match for Xiao Xuan, the successive leaders decided to retreat.

However, Lucas wouldn't let them escape. He directly sealed off the space and cooperated with Xiao Xuan to obliterate them all. After completing this task, Lucas instructed Xiao Xuan to refine the souls and flesh of the Central World leaders, while he began searching for the hidden inheritances in the place of origin.

One hidden space after another was forcibly opened by Lucas, releasing huge Sun God consciousnesses and the corpses of vacuum-shattering powerhouses. Among these thoughts and corpses, the fire of primordial spirits continued to beat steadily.

These "Yang Gods" and the primordial spirits of the vacuum-shattering powerhouses contained their lifelong cultivation experiences. Refining some primordial spirits and absorbing the memories within them could greatly increase one's chances of advancing to become a Sun God and achieving vacuum-shattering power.

Lucas spoke in a flat tone as he raised his hand to release infinite flames, enveloping these consciousnesses and corpses as he began the refinement process.

Lucas's soul flew out of his body, quickly transforming into a transparent crystal before splitting into crystal-clear thought fragments that flew into the Boat of Good Fortune.

The Boat of Good Fortune stored thunder from the catastrophes of the Sun God world. Lucas's thoughts entered it to receive the tempering of thunder, continuously increasing in strength.

One thunder calamity... two thunder calamities... eight thunder calamities, nine thunder calamities!

Lucas's soul strength was no joke—he could rival a Sun God even without transcending tribulation. Passing through these calamities merely added some attributes to his soul while conveniently increasing his optional strengths.

Sun God!

All the thought fragments re-condensed into Lucas's soul, and a masculine energy emanated from his consciousness, like the rising sun bringing life to all things.

Simultaneously, all the acupoints on Lucas's body opened. The inner acupoints connected with each other, and the inner world and outer world shattered together, causing the entire world around his body to vibrate.

Smash the vacuum!

Sensing the two realms he had just acquired, Lucas spoke calmly in the chat group:

Lucas: The cultivation system in the Yang Shen world still has some merits. I'll let your friends and relatives use it. Even I have improved to a certain extent by using this world's cultivation system.

Chapter 284: Another new member joins the group!

"Ding! Leidi has joined the chat group!"

"Ding! The White Bone Spirit has joined the chat group!"

"Ding! The Sun Emperor has joined the chat group!"

"Ding! Zhao Gongming has joined the chat group!"

"Ding! Hongyun has joined the chat group!"

Just as Lucas was about to enter the cemetery of Zhuzi, a series of system prompts sounded in the chat group.

[CHAT GROUP]

Leidi: "???"

Hongyun: "What is this place? I should be dead."

Sun Emperor: "This emperor has already been transformed, how can he still have consciousness? This is not like the return of light before consciousness dissipates."

Dongfang Yuechu: "Welcome newcomers to the group! Although you are all dead, you have not completely disappeared. Your consciousness has been absorbed into the chat group and exists here as a special undead."

Leidi: "Chat group? I think it's more like a special illusion to deceive memory. You can't get my Lei Di Treasure Technique by searching souls, so you want to use this method to trick me into handing over my Treasure Technique?"

Han Fei: "Your vigilance is too strong! But it's nothing, everyone in the chat group went through this stage."

Lucas: "Since you are wary of the chat group, then you should observe for a while! When you completely trust me and the chat group, it will not be too late for us to chat."

In the outside world, Lucas forcibly opened the cemetery of the saints. Upon entering, he discovered it was a warehouse storing countless treasures. The righteous people in the chat group were stunned and kept identifying the treasures stored in the cemetery.

The old man sighed: "No wonder there are so many tomb robbers deliberately seeking to dig graves. There are too many treasures in the tombs. Especially those tombs of high-ranking officials and powerful people—the treasures within are even more numerous."

Lucas smiled and said: "These things are no longer valuable to me, so I can give them to your relatives and friends. These items should be able to be brought to the Traverser Space, right? You can try them when the time comes!"

While speaking, Lucas swept away all the nearby treasures with a wave of his hand and drove straight into the core of the cemetery of the Hundred Saints. There, he saw a bridge and a figure.

Zheng Qizi was shocked: "That bridge... that person..."

Lucas: "That bridge is the most powerful artifact king created by all the saints and sages in the Yang God world—the Bridge to the Other Shore! That person is the strongest in Taikoo, the first person in the Yang God World other than the Son of Destiny—the Great Emperor of Longevity."

While Lucas was speaking in the chat group, Emperor Changsheng, who was sitting on the Bridge to the Other Shore, turned his attention to him and said with a smile: "You are not Yizi. It seems that the prophecy of the saints was wrong."

The Great Emperor Changsheng explained in a leisurely tone: "Thousands of years ago, all the sons and a hundred saints joined forces to come to the Land of Origin. They originally wanted to gather the rare treasures and remnants of the strong in the Land of Origin to strengthen the Bridge to the Other Shore."

"So they inevitably confronted me. Neither in theory nor strength were the saints and sages my equal. So they told me that the strongest Yizi among them had not yet appeared."

"They said that Yizi would come here sooner or later, and would defeat me at that time. So I stayed here to suppress the Bridge of the Other Shore, waiting for Yizi to appear and fight me. Unexpectedly, the first one to open the cemetery of Zhuzi is not Yizi."

Lucas said indifferently: "The Yizi that the saints and sages wanted to wait for will not appear. I am here to claim the Bridge to the Other Shore."

Emperor Changsheng said with a smile: "The Bridge to the Other Shore is currently suppressed by me. Do you wish to take it from me? I won't give it up easily."

Lucas looked Emperor Changsheng up and down, smiled and said, "Although you are just a projection now, you should have the same power as before, right? Come on, I also want to witness the strength of the first person of Taikoo."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a violent aura rose from Lucas's body, and he pressed toward Emperor Changsheng without ceremony.

"Very well, terrifying!"

Emperor Changsheng laughed, and a powerful aura erupted from his body as well, clashing against Lucas's oppressive aura.

"Soul achieved the Yang God level, flesh reached vacuum-crushing strength—even in ancient times when masters were as numerous as clouds, your strength would be considered top-tier."

After sensing Lucas's state, Emperor Changsheng sighed slightly and couldn't help but ask, "What is that fiery power within you?"

Lucas raised his hand to release a Heavenly Flame. The terrifying high temperature emanating from the flames caused Emperor Changsheng's pupils to contract.

"Flame True Ki? No, not ordinary Flame True Ki!"

"Did you add any special flame when your Flame True Ki was condensed?"

Emperor Changsheng's eyes grew intense. He could immediately perceive the extraordinariness of the Heavenly Flame, but due to his frame of reference, he regarded it as a special kind of Flame True Ki.

"This is the Heavenly Flame, power from another world!"

Lucas introduced the Heavenly Flame indifferently, then attacked without ceremony. Black and white intertwined flames surged toward Emperor Changsheng.

"Original Magnetic True Ki!"

The Great Emperor Changsheng deployed the Yuan Magnetic True Ki at which he excelled. An invisible force blocked the advancing Heavenly Flame.

The Great Emperor Changsheng could create the three-nine-element magnetic array, which served as the core of the king of artifacts. His mastery of magnetic elemental power had reached its pinnacle.

As a first-class divine power in the world of Yangshen, the power of Yuanci was no less formidable than the Heavenly Flame in the Dou Qi Continent. Emperor Changsheng relied on Yuanci's power to block the Heavenly Flame's burning assault. However, it proved futile because Lucas was simply stronger.

Since both sides' techniques were equally matched, the outcome could only be decided by their fundamental strength. Unfortunately for Emperor Changsheng, his base strength couldn't match Lucas's. While Emperor Changsheng had cultivated body and soul, Lucas had cultivated far more.

With their physical and spiritual power roughly equal, Lucas gained a clear advantage through his Dou Di-level Dou Qi. This absolute power gap allowed Lucas to easily suppress his opponent.

"The Bridge to the Other Shore!"

Emperor Changsheng's face contorted with frustration as he reluctantly employed the Bridge to the Other Shore. The power of the Strongest Artifact King burst forth. "Young man, let me tell you—for a practitioner, magic weapons are extremely important."

Lucas remained unfazed and responded indifferently: "It's useless! The Bridge of the Other Shore contains the will of all the saints and sages, but you can't truly control it. You cannot exert the full power of the Strongest Artifact King."

As he finished speaking, Lucas waved his hand and summoned the Boat of Creation and the Eternal Kingdom. He sneered and launched his attack on Emperor Changsheng. "Besides, if you want to compete with magic weapons, I'm more than ready!"

The two Artifact Kings unleashed their full power under Lucas's control, overwhelming the Great Emperor of Longevity and the Bridge to the Other Shore.

Chapter 285: The much-loved quarrel

Looking at Emperor Changsheng who had been defeated and devoured by Lucas, Zheng Qizi sighed in the chat group: "The first person of Taikoo, Emperor Changsheng, died just like that? I feel a little disappointed!"

Lucas responded incredulously: "Then what did you want?"

Zheng Qizi complained: "This is the first powerhouse of ancient times, and the teacher of the first emperor of ancient times! It's rare to see him—how could you not even talk with him properly?"

Lucas sneered: "What, did you want me to convince him with theory? Stop daydreaming. Even all the wise men and saints combined couldn't persuade him!"

Xiao Xuan asked curiously, "Did the Son of Destiny also use strength to persuade the Great Emperor Changsheng?"

Lucas: "Of course! It's impossible to convince a powerful person of this level with theory alone. If you want to convince others, you must at least have the qualifications for equal dialogue, right?"

Xiao Xuan: "That makes sense! If you don't even have the qualifications to talk on equal footing, how can you convince others to believe you? No one cares about the shouting of ants, and no one likes to be dominated by the weak."

Lucas smiled and said, "Exactly! Both the future Son of Destiny and I have proven our strength against the Great Emperor Changsheng. It's a pity that the Great Emperor Changsheng is not one to surrender, so we couldn't have an equal dialogue."

Zheng Qizi asked in surprise: "How can this be?"

Lucas laughed: "Because both the Son of Destiny and I are stronger than Emperor Changsheng. If we were slightly inferior, perhaps Emperor Changsheng would have been willing to talk with us."

Zheng Qizi said incredulously: "He can't accept defeat? That's hard to believe!"

Lucas: "It's not that he can't accept defeat, but rather that he gave his all. In order to win, he used all his strength. But he was merely a projection at this point, and once his strength was exhausted, he would have dissipated."

Zheng Qizi suddenly realized: "That's why you devoured him so quickly—you were afraid he would dissipate?"

Lucas: "Of course! If he disappeared, his precious memories would have been lost forever."

Xiao Xuan: "Group Leader, Xiao Chen's strength has reached the peak of Dou Sheng. When will you send him back to the Dou Qi Continent? I feel that he's already qualified to attempt advancing to Dou Di."

Lucas: "Really? It seems that refining the successive leaders of the Central World has benefited him greatly! In that case, I'll immediately send him back to the Dou Qi Continent."

Lucas's physical body moved from the outside world, and he appeared directly in the paradise he had created, where Xiao Chen and the others were cultivating.

By now, Xiao Chen had refined the leaders of the Central World and absorbed an enormous amount of Origin True Ki. His body, soul, and Dou Qi had all reached the level of peak Dou Sheng, just one step away from Dou Di.

"Good! Since you've met the conditions for advancement to Dou Di, I'll take you back to the Dou Qi Continent! As for the others here..."

Lucas looked at Xiao Chen with a satisfied smile and nodded, expressing approval of his strength, and prepared to take him back to the Dou Qi Continent to achieve Dou Di.

"The rest of you should continue practicing here. Of course, you can also enter the Traverser Space. I don't need to explain how to use the Traverser Seals—many of you already understand."

Back in the Fighting World, Lucas brought Xiao Chen and Xiao Xuan to a huge mountain. Lucas sat down cross-legged and began to sense the upper plane of the world of vindictiveness—the world of domination.

Then, the sky above Lucas's head began surging, and a huge passage slowly emerged, exuding an atmosphere that made Xiao Xuan and Xiao Chen feel extremely familiar.

"Original Origin Qi!"

Xiao Chen was shocked—the amount was staggering.

Xiao Xuan said with emotion: "It's not just Origin Qi, but also a huge amount of pure energy. Group Leader is right—the Dou Qi Continent is going through a Traverser phase. With these resources, the Dou Qi Continent will soon restore the glory of ancient times."

The massive energy was directed by Lucas and continuously injected into the Dou Qi Continent. Xiao Chen seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and sat cross-legged directly under the energy channel, allowing the energy and Original Origin Qi to wash over him.

The enormous amount of energy and Origin Qi was absorbed by Xiao Chen. His strength increased rapidly as he began his attempt to reach Dou Di. Cultivating within the energy channel provided him tremendous benefits.

However, although Xiao Chen's gains were substantial, Lucas's benefits were even greater. After all, he was the one who had channeled all the energy into the Dou Qi Continent.

Hongyun: "Can you tell me what's going on? I'm interested in all this."

Zhao Gongming: "Although I find it incredible, I still want to ask. @Hongyun, are you the Taoist Red Cloud who was transformed from the first cloud in the world?"

Hongyun: "It's me. Which fellow Taoist are you?"

Zhao Gongming: "I dare not call myself your fellow Daoist! When senior fell, I wasn't even born yet! Of course, this assumes we're from the same world."

Dongfang Yuechu: "Group Leader, do Hongyun and Zhao Gongming come from the same world?"

Lucas: "Yes! Hongyun and Zhao Gongming are from the same world, but from different eras. The world they live in is called Honghuang, and it's the most powerful world among all the group members' worlds."

Xiao Xuan asked in shock: "More powerful than the Great Thousand World?"

Lucas: "Of course!"

Senju Hashirama laughed: "I didn't expect that after so long, new people from the same world would appear in the chat group. It's a pity they're not from the same era and don't know each other."

Golden Lion Shiki said quietly: "Indeed! Although they come from the same world, the difference in their lifetimes means they lack common history. This is why there's no love quarrel when they meet in the chat group."

Hongyun said incredulously: "A love quarrel? It seems this chat group isn't a serious chat group!"

Lucas: "Don't listen to their nonsense—our chat group is very serious. The undead from all worlds gather here, and I help make up for the regrets of your lives. Of course, you need to pay me a certain price."

Hongyun pondered: "Is there any regret in my lifetime? My biggest regret is that I didn't become a saint, and I didn't kill that damn bastard Kunpeng with my own hands."

Lucas: "That's a bit difficult, but it can be considered."
