Chapter 496



496 Challenge to battle

For the people of Qin, it was a pity that almost all the spiritual pulse arrays were not designed for cultivators at the divine sea stage.

On one hand, after the great destruction of the ancient era, a large number of techniques had been lost and regressed, resulting in the loss of such techniques. Other than that, there was another very important point, which was the relationship between supply and demand.

If there was no need, there would naturally be no corresponding motivation.

Whether it was to redevelop this method or to find and restore similar technology from ancient times, it was obviously not an easy task.

In the current world environment, before Lu Qing’s breakthrough, there were no divine sea cultivators in the entire world. What was the point of making such a high-level thing?

Without any benefits, no one would do such a thing.

But now, Luo du, which did not have such a technique, was facing a breakthrough from Lu Qing, a top-tier expert at the divine sea level.

After realizing that the great formation of Luo du could not stop Lu Qing’s advance, Xie Xie could not think of any other way to stop his opponent.

He didn’t want to wait for his death. He tried his best to mobilize the power of the Spirit vein, the power of the cultivator Army, and his own power, throwing them into the defensive formation, constantly changing the attack and defense methods of the formation.

However, all of this was in vain.

He worked hard and tried like this. He didn’t know how long had passed.

However, during this period of time, he could only watch helplessly as Lu Qing made his way toward him without many obstacles. There was no difference between doing all his hard work and not doing anything.

As the distance between the two of them got closer, he could see Lu Qing’s face even more clearly.

In the end, when the two of them faced each other, Xie Xie finally put down all his resistance.

“Can I ask you a question?”

“Go ahead,”

“Have you already surpassed the materialization realm?”

“Yes.”

Xie Xie’s face revealed an expression of understanding.

“Anything else you want to ask?”

“There’s nothing else,”

Lu Qing did not say anything else. He punched forward.

In order to maintain the defensive formation at full power, Xie Xie had already summoned his Dharma power.

Lu Qing’s punch destroyed the Dharma body.

Xie Xie was much more powerful than his other four Dharma plane colleagues. The shattering of his dharma body was not enough to kill him. Even though he was severely injured, he could still move.

However, nothing was more sorrowful than a dead heart.

Although his body was still full of vitality, his heart was already filled with despair. There was even a sense of relief as if he had understood the truth. What was the point of being able to move and fight in this state? Xie Xie truly did not have any will to resist.

At this point, rodu’s recovery was a foregone conclusion.

After Lu Qing made his move, although the protective formation of Luo du was not destroyed, the five Dharma laksanas of the state of Qin in the city were either dead or captured. As for Lu Qing himself, he was inside the great formation of Luo du. It wasn’t easy for him to turn off and deactivate the protective array from the outside, but nothing could stop him from inside.

After closing the formation, the two warships of the Yan Kingdom. They entered the city.

Lu chaoxi and Lu Chaohe also unleashed their Dharma bodies and rushed in.

There were still a lot of Qin State cultivators left in the city. They were still putting up a resistance under the leadership of some high-level cultivators and officers.

However, such resistance was no longer a problem for the Yan Army.

Although the number of Yan soldiers was relatively small, two Dharma adepts were enough to take care of everything.

Moreover, there was still Lu Qing.

In rodu, as long as the people of Qin were able to organize a resistance, it would be immediately extinguished.

Not to mention, there were still two battleships in the sky.

Of course, as the number of cultivators was too small, it was not realistic to have complete control.

However, the Yan Army did not force them to do so.

Since he couldn’t control Luo du for the time being, he would just put it aside for the time being. In short, the most important thing was to kill a large number of Qin soldiers and break them down.

As for his control over rodu, he didn’t have to worry too much about it.

As long as the influence of the Qin people was expelled, the main force of the Yan Army would follow up. With tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, it would naturally be easier to control Luo du.

Furthermore, the country of Liang had its own team. Although the main force of the Liang Army had been annihilated, the Emperor of the Liang country was still alive.

The Yan Army had already made contact with the Emperor of Liang. In the future, he would also come here with the Yan Kingdom’s Army.

Of course, no one knew what would happen in Liang after that.

Lu Qing had not thought about this matter. His son, Lu chaoxi, should be able to handle this matter.

As for Lu Qing, he was more concerned about God King law.

As for that God King law, he did not make him wait any longer.

……

A month later, the land of the country of Liang that had fallen into enemy hands was mostly recovered.

Of course, this was only a nominal recovery of the military. It would take a long time for these places to return to their pre-war state.

However, the Reiki sources were back under control. This also meant that the Western Defense line of the country of Liang had been taken back.

After the state of Qin’s main forces were almost completely annihilated in rodu, they were unable to form an effective defense in this area.

At the same time, as the news of Lu Qing’s performance in the battle of rodu spread further and further, people began to have some guesses about his strength.

Even though the officials had not made a clear statement, almost everyone was certain that Lu Qing had broken through to a higher level.

In the past, people could see from some incomplete ancient books, stories, and myths that there were three levels above Dharma power: divine sea, dongxu, and true immortal Kongtong. However, in the long history, credible records could clearly see that Dharma power was the peak of everything.

At least, no one had ever heard of a real divine sea cultivator in the nine nations era.

Now, after Lu Qing’s performance in Luo du had spread throughout the world, who would dare to deny that this was not the power of the Spirit sea stage?

Dharma idols could not do what Lu Qing had done.

As more and more people believed this news, the morale of the two sides underwent a massive transformation.

The Alliance Army’s morale was extremely high, while the Qin Army’s morale was low.

Even the Qi refinement cultivators at the bottom of the hierarchy knew the impact of top powerhouses on the war.

And now, such an invincible person had appeared among the enemies. How were they going to fight this war?

The Dharma adepts of the state of Qin were even more terrified.

Xie Xie’s strength was well-acknowledged within the state of Qin. He could be said to be a peak Dharma plane expert.

However, such a person, along with four other Dharma adepts, was completely annihilated in a single battle. It was said that they were killed very easily.

If even Xie Xie was like this, how could anyone else be?

Every high-level cultivator of the Qin State had to consider one question: if I were the one who ran into Lu Qing, what would I do?

All the conclusions could only be summarized in one word: Wait for death.

With such an understanding, it would be a fool’s dream to have any strong will to fight.

The entire Qin Army had all retreated. Even when faced with opponents who were obviously not that strong, they would often choose to retreat.

This was a totally different Army from the Qin Army that fought bravely in every battle.

Under such circumstances, Qin Shang, the Emperor of the Qin State, personally wrote a letter and gave it to Lu Qing.

At the same time, the contents of the letter were also made public. On the one hand, it was open to the internal affairs of the state of Qin. On the other hand, it was open to the enemies of the entire cultivation world.

The contents of the letter were simple.

“I heard that you entered the divine sea and killed my general. I’ll also enter the divine sea. Please come to the East of Danzhou city and settle the situation with one battle, so that the common people will not suffer again.”

It was just a simple message, but the meaning was already very obvious.

As the Emperor of the great Qin, Qin Shang was undoubtedly the Supreme Leader of the great Qin. As for Lu Qing, although he was not the Emperor, both of his sons had become emperors. Furthermore, it was very obvious that he was the strongest and most powerful person in the Lu clan, the Yan Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom, and even the entire Eastern cultivation world.

The battle between the two of them, whether it was victory or defeat, life or death, would definitely have a decisive impact on this large-scale war that would last for more than ten years and affect the entire cultivation world.

In other words, in the past ten years, countless cultivators and mortals had fought to the death and shed blood. Countless mountains and lakes had been razed to the ground and filled with ravines in the battle between cultivators. All of this was to pave the way for this battle.

This battle would determine who would be the master of the future cultivation world.

Faced with Qin Shang’s challenge, Lu Qing had no doubt chosen to agree.

There was no other option.

It must be true that Qin Shang had entered the divine sea. Lu Qing even felt that Qin Shang no longer existed. Within the body of the great Qin Emperor was a true Godking of the boundless divine realm. The strength of the divine sea stage, that was completely at a lower level.

Even if Lu Qing did not agree to it, the other party would come out of the mountain and go to the battlefield to kill. Their efficiency would probably not be lower than Lu Qing’s. Even if he did not make a move, no one would be able to stop him.

At that time, it would still be a decisive battle between him and the other party.

Since that was the case, why did they have to pay with so many lives?

Let’s just find a place and have a fight. If we win, everything will be fine. If we lose, we’ll cry.

If he lost, Lu Qing could only tell his senior, Lu Huan, that he had tried his best.

……

After the battle, the entire battlefield had entered a period of calm.

Everyone seemed to understand that there was no need to fight to the death. Even if they obtained a huge advantage, it would be useless if they were defeated in the final battle between Qin Shang and Lu Qing a month later.

Everyone’s eyes were on Danzhou.

High-level cultivators from all over the world had been running around in the vast area of Yingzhou in a very short time.

Of course, this so-called ‘running around’ still had a purpose.

Their main goal was to inspect the battlefield. This was to avoid any hidden traps when the two top powerhouses of both sides were fighting.

Of course, to people at the level of Qin Shang and Lu Qing, there was not much meaning in ambushing them. Even if there were a few Dharma plane cultivators lying in ambush, they would not be a threat to the two of them.

However, this was the only thing his subordinates could do.

Of course, it wasn’t as if there was no other way. For example, if Qin Shang or Lu Qing were to personally take action and set up some formations in advance on the predetermined battlefield, they might really be able to affect the outcome of the battle.

However, the two of them were not idiots.

Even though Lu Qing did not come personally, it did not mean that he did not pay attention to this place. He was almost a hundred percent sure that he would not be tricked.

He, on the other hand, had the intention to trick the other party.

However, after some thought, he chose to give up.

There were two main reasons for this.

On one hand, if Lu Qing wanted to use such a small trick, he would have to exchange for a revival exchange option.

If it was really useful, Lu Qing would not mind using it. If he could gain a certain advantage in his battle against God King law by paying a price, it would definitely be worth it.

However, no matter how Lu Qing thought about it, he felt that it was unlikely that God King law would be tricked by such a move.

In the letter that Qin Shang had sent him, he had claimed that he was at the divine sea level. Lu Qing was skeptical about this matter. This might be true because there was an upper limit to the world’s power. It was indeed possible that he could only exert the strength of the spirit sea level.

However, even so, the consciousness of a Godking was right there. It would not lack knowledge, so it was indeed very difficult to be tricked.

Based on this consideration, Lu Qing thought about it and decided not to do such a useless thing.

He waited patiently, cultivated his body, and occasionally took the time to take a look outside Chang ‘an fortress in the form of consciousness through the teleportation ability.

The golden light he had seen earlier was gone. His previous guess was indeed correct. It was the symbol of the descent of a God King.

……

The time of the battle was set to be a month later.

It was only a month. To cultivators, this was a very short period of time.

Soon, this period of time passed.

The entire Danzhou city became clear.

Although the battlefield was agreed to be a thousand miles east of Danzhou city, the battle between Dharma laksanas could reach hundreds of miles, even hundreds of miles. How large would the aftershock of a battle between two top powerhouses whose strength far exceeded the materialization realm and had reached the deep sea level be?

In the past, when a war broke out, those who couldn’t escape or were caught in the crossfire could only blame themselves for being unlucky. But now, since he had been given a month’s time, those who needed to run had almost all run away.

Such a large area was a stage for Lu Qing and Qin Shang.
