Chapter 304 Fighting Beyond His Level, Destroying the Soul Realm with a Single Hand!
"Who exactly are you?"
"How could there possibly be any Origin Qi other than the ancient Emperor Tuoshe's cave on the Dou Qi Continent?!"
The Soul Emperor's voice was hoarse, his chest heaving violently, and his scarlet pupils were fixed on Lu Yu.
His knuckles turned white from the force, and the black mist around him surged uncontrollably. For the first time, this Soul Clan leader, who had schemed for a thousand years and manipulated almost the entire continent, showed a near-mad jealousy and resentment in his eyes.
"I've been planning this for a thousand years, and I'm just one step away from collecting all the ancient jades—why you of all people—"
His voice grew softer and softer, each word sounding as if it were being squeezed out from between his teeth.
At this moment, the tycoon finally had to admit that the calm and collected man in the blue robe before him had indeed reached the realm he had always dreamed of but could never attain.
Lu Yu gazed at him quietly, his eyes calm as still water.
"Clan Chief Soul, some things are better left unsaid. The victor is king, the loser is villain. Let's be dignified."
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible, suffocatingly terrifying pressure slowly emanated from Lu Yu, completely enveloping the entire Soul Realm.
"Battle Emperor————"
Only then did the other Soul Clan experts inside the hall react.
Hun Xuzi's face turned deathly pale, and his lips trembled uncontrollably. As a ninth-grade Xuan Dan alchemy master, his soul perception was extremely sharp. At this moment, he felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on the depths of his soul, and he couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.
Hun Yan beside him let out a muffled groan, and the eerie black flames that had been burning fiercely around him instantly went out, as if he had encountered a natural nemesis, and trembled as he shrank back into his body.
He struggled to lift his head, his gaze filled with horror and disbelief as he looked at the figure in the blue robe.
"This...is this the power of a Battle Emperor?"
Soul Mirror's voice was dry and hoarse. He tried to circulate his battle qi, but found that the vast energy of his Seven Star Battle Saint was frozen in his body, causing him to feel despair.
As for the other powerful figures inside the hall, they were terrified. These peak figures, who usually held sway over their respective regions, now found it extremely difficult to even stand.
The oppressive aura wasn't deliberately targeted at them; it was merely an unintentional outburst that made them feel like a small boat in a raging sea, vulnerable to being swallowed up at any moment.
The entire Hall of Bones fell into a deathly silence under this silent pressure.
Lu Yu remained standing in the same spot, doing nothing. But simply by standing there, he shattered the Soul Clan's millennia-long scheme into nothingness.
The Soul Emperor remained silent for a moment. His gaze swept over his clansmen who were struggling to hold on under the emperor's might, and finally settled on Lu Yu. His voice was low but still maintained his last shred of dignity: "Spare my Soul Clan a way out."
He slowly straightened up, and an abnormal blood-red light began to emanate from his body: "In exchange, I can serve you as my master."
Lu Yu gently shook his head, his gaze calm as still water: "There's no need to force yourself, and I won't accept such conditions."
"Good! Good! Good!"
The Soul Emperor uttered three "good"s, each one more vehement than the last. His body surged with crimson light, and the energy of the entire Soul Realm surged wildly: "Since that's the case—"
"Then let me see just how powerful the legendary Dou Di really is!"
Before he could finish speaking, the burn wound on his chest suddenly burst open, and a blood-red spear that stretched across the sky and earth materialized in his hand. This was a desperate strike that had consumed all his cultivation; wherever the spear tip passed, space collapsed, and even time seemed to freeze at that moment.
The entire Soul Realm groaned under this power, as if it were about to completely collapse at any moment.
Lu Yu simply raised his right hand slowly, palm facing upwards. There was no earth-shattering aura, only a wisp of purple lightning flowing at his fingertips, condensing into an ancient lightning rune.
"Destroy".
He uttered a single word with a light touch, as if nothing had happened.
The crimson spear that stretched across the sky suddenly stopped three feet away from Lu Yu, and then disintegrated inch by inch like melting ice and snow, without even causing a ripple.
The Soul Emperor's pupils constricted sharply. He tried to activate his battle qi, but found that the space around him had already solidified. He could only watch helplessly as the hand, wreathed in lightning, slowly descended and lightly pressed against the top of his head.
"So this is what a Dou Di is—"
He uttered the last few words with difficulty, a flash of understanding appearing in his eyes. The next moment, his body began to dissipate inch by inch from the top of his head, turning into countless specks of light that vanished with the wind.
The Soul Clan leader, who had plotted for a thousand years and nearly overturned the entire continent, was annihilated by a single, seemingly effortless palm strike without even taking a single blow.
"Clan Chief..."
'
Hun Xuzi's knees buckled, and he collapsed to his knees, the ninth-grade Xuan Dan master's face filled with despair.
Soul Mirror stared intently at the spot where Soul Emperor had vanished, his lips trembling uncontrollably, yet he couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
Those Soul Clan powerhouses who once dominated the continent were now all pale-faced, even their breathing became cautious, for fear of disturbing the figure in green robes.
In this suffocating silence, Lu Yu slowly withdrew his hand, his gaze calmly sweeping over everyone in the hall.
Wherever his gaze fell, everyone instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
Immediately, he took a step forward, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
"Gone—gone?" Hun Xuzi raised his head, trembling, his face still showing the fear of surviving a disaster.
Soul Mirror struggled to sit up, looked around, and only after confirming that the suffocating imperial aura had disappeared did he let out a long sigh of relief: "It seems—we've escaped a calamity."
The surviving Soul Clan powerhouses looked at each other, many of them collapsing to the ground. Although their clan leader had fallen, at least they had survived, and the foundation of the Soul Clan remained intact.
However, at this very moment—
Outside the Soul Realm, Lu Yu's figure slowly emerged in the void. He looked down at the Soul Realm shrouded in dense black mist, his eyes showing no emotion.
"Thunder Emperor's Seal of Annihilation"
He uttered five words softly, and slowly raised his right hand. Nine lightning patterns suddenly lit up around his body; this was the physical divine power he had condensed after cultivating the Nine-Patterned Lightning Body to its peak. Vast lightning power gathered in his palm, transforming into a gigantic lightning seal that blotted out the sky.
The Thunder Seal slowly rotated, and nine mysterious thunder patterns appeared on its surface, echoing the thunder patterns on Lu Yu's body.
The vast imperial might enveloped the surrounding area, and even Soul Void Child and others, who were far away in the depths of the Soul Realm, felt this terrifying aura that made their souls tremble.
"This is----"
Hun Xuzi suddenly looked up, his face drained of all color.
Lu Yu remained expressionless as he gently pressed his palm down.
The colossal lightning seal, carrying earth-shattering power, slowly pressed down upon the Soul Realm. Wherever it passed, space collapsed inch by inch, and time seemed to freeze.
The moment the lightning seal touched the outer barrier of the Soul Realm, boom!
A tremendous surge of lightning erupted, rendering the entire Soul Realm as fragile as paper before its power. The Bone Hall, the black mist of vengeful spirits, countless powerful Soul Clan members—everything vanished into nothingness in the lightning.
In the blink of an eye, this ancient clan, which had lasted for thousands of years, was completely annihilated by the lightning, leaving not a trace.
Lu Yu stood with his hands behind his back in the void, gazing at the space that had returned to nothingness, his figure gradually fading away.
Months later, "Great news! Incredible news!"
-
A powerful Dou Zong cultivator stood on the void, his voice echoing throughout every corner of the Jia Ma Empire: "Emperor Yu personally visited Canaan Academy yesterday, announcing to the world that Spiritual Academy will be established in nine regions, including the Northwest Continent, the Central Continent, and the Beast Domain, to recruit students!"
The entire empire was instantly abuzz. In the streets and alleys, in teahouses and taverns, everyone was excitedly discussing this earth-shattering news.
"I heard that as long as you pass the exam, you can enroll regardless of your background!"
"Even the skills and expertise of alchemists and formation masters will be passed down to Emperor Yu without reservation!"
Inside the Xiao family council hall in Wutan City, the family head, Xiao Zhan, could not hide his excitement and immediately led three elders to the back mountain. The four arrived at an elegant courtyard, straightened their robes, and bowed respectfully.
"Xiao Zhan, accompanied by the elders, requests an audience with the Ancestor!"
The courtyard gate opened silently, and a middle-aged man in a green robe was enjoying tea at a stone table.
Xiao Xuan's face was rosy, and his aura was robust, clearly indicating that his physical body had fully recovered. He set down his teacup, a smile in his eyes: "Come in, all of you. I already know about the matter at the Spirit Academy."
Xiao Zhan strode forward, unable to hide his excitement: "Ancestor, the establishment of the Nine Spiritual Academies by the Yu Emperor is an immense opportunity for our Xiao family!"
The Third Elder quickly added, "Now that our Ancestor's physical body has recovered, and our Xiao family has the connection to the Yu Emperor, the younger generation will surely shine brightly in the Spirit Academy!"
Xiao Xuan nodded slightly, tapping the stone table lightly with his fingertips: "Young friend Lu Yu's actions have indeed benefited all living beings. However—"
""
His gaze swept over the crowd, and his tone turned serious: "Precisely because my Xiao family has this relationship with young friend Lu Yu, the members of our family should be even more careful in their words and deeds, and must not take advantage of this relationship to become complacent."
As he spoke, he took out a jade scroll: "These are my cultivation insights that I have compiled recently. I suggest that the disciples who are preparing to apply for the Spirit Academy study them carefully. Remember, once you are in the Spirit Academy, you will represent the face of the Xiao family."
"We will heed the teachings of our ancestor!" the crowd replied in unison.
Xiao Xuan got up and walked to the window, gazing in the direction of Canaan Academy. Feeling the surging battle qi within him, he said softly, "This era is destined to be changed because of him. My Xiao family must also seize this opportunity."
He suddenly remembered something, turned around and smiled, "Oh right, next month is the wedding of that little guy Xiao Yan and that little brat from Burning Flame Valley—"
As he spoke, a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes: "I never imagined that, after a thousand years, my descendant would actually marry the descendant of that old fellow Fenyan. Back when I was vying with him for the Strange Flame, I never thought such a day would come."
Xiao Zhan quickly replied, "Ancestor, the Burning Flame Valley has already sent people to discuss the wedding date. With you in charge, this wedding will surely be a great success."
Xiao Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, go down now. I'll study this spirit array technique more thoroughly."
After everyone left, Xiao Xuan's gaze returned to the array diagram on the table, his fingertips shimmering with faint battle qi.
Zhongzhou, Tianmu Mountain.
The Tianmu Mountains are no longer what they used to be.
Nine majestic main peaks stand like giant pillars supporting the sky, forming an embracing embrace to protect the central heavens. In the midst of the swirling clouds and mist, a magnificent palace complex floats silently; this is the headquarters of the "Lingbao Pavilion," a force personally founded by Lu Yu.
Nine rainbow bridges, spanning the sky, extend from the main hall, connecting the surrounding nine peaks as if they were tangible. Runes flicker on these rainbow bridges, radiating exquisite array fluctuations.
Disciples would occasionally fly through the air, traversing the rainbow bridge and moving between the peaks.
Amidst the mountains, countless palaces and pavilions can be vaguely seen built against the slopes. On the eastern peak, crimson clouds swirl and the fragrance of herbs permeates the air; on the western peak, earth fire rises and the sound of hammering echoes incessantly; in the northern valley, runes flow and array fluctuations appear and disappear.
The entire mountain range was shrouded in a faint golden light shield, which was a grandmaster-level array personally set up by Lu Yu. Even ordinary Dou Di experts would find it difficult to shake it in the slightest.
Inside an exquisite palace on the main peak, Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes, feeling the warm touch from beside him. As far as his eyes could see, four graceful and delicate bodies were still immersed in their dreams.
Cai Lin's nine-colored hair spread out on the pillow like a dazzling waterfall, Xun'er's fair hand gently rested on his chest, Xiao Yi Xian's peaceful sleeping face rested on his shoulder, and Zi Yan curled up beside him, her ink-black hair intertwined with his long hair.
He shifted his body slightly, startling the little fairy doctor from her light sleep. She lazily opened her beautiful eyes, still somewhat dazed: "Awake?"
This soft call woke up the other three women one after another.
Xun'er slightly propped herself up, and the silk quilt slipped off her smooth, fragrant shoulders, revealing a glimpse of her skin.
Zi Yan rubbed her sleepy eyes and snuggled into Lu Yu's arms like a spoiled kitten.
Cai Lin lay on her side, propping her chin up, a hint of helplessness flashing in her bewitching eyes. "Even the four of us combined are no match for you."
Zi Yan pouted and complained, "This guy is a monster!"
The Fairy Doctor's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said softly, "Indeed—I'm a little overwhelmed."
Xun'er covered her lips and chuckled, her eyes revealing her tacit acceptance of the fact.
Suddenly, Cai Lin reached out and gently pushed Lu Yu's chest. Her nine-colored hair swayed slightly with her movement. This usually arrogant Medusa Queen softened her tone for once: "Let's stop here—we admit defeat."
Before she could finish speaking, her ears were already flushed red. For this queen, known for her strong personality, to beg for mercy, it was clear that she had indeed been thoroughly tormented last night.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu had no intention of letting this rare opportunity slip by. He reached out and gently stroked Cai Lin's flushed cheeks, chuckling softly, "Even the mighty Medusa Queen would beg for mercy?"
Cai Lin turned her face away, her nine-colored hair obscuring her blushing profile: "You—you knew perfectly well that we couldn't handle it—"
Looking at Cai Lin's shy and helpless appearance, Lu Yu's smile deepened. He leaned down and whispered in Cai Lin's ear:
"Then—call me 'good husband' and let me hear it?"
Cai Lin blushed crimson, even her neck turned pink, and she bit her lip, refusing to speak.
The three girls standing nearby, fearing they might get into trouble, all turned away, bowing their heads in embarrassment, and the palace was filled with an intimate atmosphere.
"Good husband!"
The soft, almost inaudible call came from Cai Lin's lips. After she finished speaking, she buried her face in the brocade quilt in embarrassment, her delicate earlobes turning as red as if they were dripping blood.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu laughed loudly, reached out and pulled the shy beauty from under the covers, placing a kiss on her forehead: "That's a good girl."
Seeing this, the other three girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle. Xun'er's eyes sparkled as she teased, "I never expected Sister Cailin to be so well-behaved."
Zi Yan laughed so hard she almost fell over, which earned her a glare from Cai Lin, who was both embarrassed and annoyed.
Lu Yu watched the four women frolicking with a smile, and after a moment he leisurely got up: "Since you're all awake, come with me to the Desolate Ancient Domain."
Upon hearing this, Cai Lin's nine-colored hair moved without wind, instantly restoring her usual queenly demeanor: "Is it for that ancient Bodhi tree?"
"good."
Lu Yu nodded slightly, a profound look flashing in his eyes, and then said, "At my level, this is the only thing left that is still useful to me on this Dou Qi Continent."
