Chapter 273: Breakthrough

Roar!

With the final howl of the male tiger, it fell to the floor, its body riddled with wounds and blood gushing out.

Its strong pelt was worn and torn to bits, with the blades of the weapons still embedded in its body.

However, it wasn't alone, as a river of blood flowed with the corpses of thousands of ghostly soldiers who continued their relentless march.

The female white tiger looked at the dead tiger, tears slowly forming in its intelligent eyes.

Howl!

The female tiger roared as she retreated instead of attacking, a ferocious glint in her eyes.

With a tearing sound, a rain of spears launched at her.

The female white tiger skillfully dodged all the attacks and escaped with terrified eyes.

However, before she could get further, a large hand appeared, blocking her way.

Its eyes widened with terror as its hair stood on end, as if it was electrocuted.

The terrifying black hand moved towards the tiger, emitting a pressure that froze the tiger in place.

Boom!

The tiger was sent hurtling through the air, landing back in the middle of the army. After sending the tiger to the middle of the marching army, the hand disappeared into thin air.

The female tiger looked at the millions of soldiers and widened her eyes in despair.

With a roar that sent shockwaves, she faced the army head-on, eventually getting exhausted after killing thousands of soldiers. She died of exhaustion, her body riddled with wounds.

The tragic end of the two white tigers ended with their corpses being crushed by the marching soldiers, signifying their utter defeat.

Although thousands of soldiers were killed, it was just a drop in the ocean of millions of soldiers that were marching.

The marching soldiers remained steadfast as they walked, without a care for the two corpses of the first-stage martial beasts.

Just then, two big black hands appeared in thin air and nonchalantly picked up the corpses of the tigers.

The two flying figures suddenly paused mid-air and patiently waited.

Two white tiger corpses floated towards them with the help of the huge black hands.

"We got a big fortune without even going to the place. We are lucky," one of the figures remarked as he extended his hand, and the two hands obediently put the two corpses in front of him.

"You didn't think that I won't get that piece of the pie, did you?" the other black figure suddenly remarked coldly in a feminine tone.

"Hey, hey, I know, I know," the figure shook his head speechlessly.

"I won't dare to not share it with Miss Feng herself," the male figure raised his hands up in the air with pure submission.

"You better be," the cold feminine tone rang in the surrounding as they both went forward.

The two corpses disappeared in thin air as the man extended his hand, disappearing into the void.

"Let's go now, we still have a bigger fish to eat," the man licked his lips with glee, his laughter resounding in the air as the two figures traveled.

...

Lu Zhen sat in a giant room, slowly cultivating. In his hand were two Qi stones, constantly supplying him with pure Qi that he converted into plant Qi soon after.

Slowly, his body started to shine with a green light that flashed in the room continuously.

Before long, he slowly opened his eyes, a green glint flashing in his crimson pupil, making it a strange combination.

After he had returned, the system was updated as well.

Although nothing has changed, the information had become much clearer than before; it was as if it had attuned to this world.

Previously, the red light not only controlled the entire level-up system, but it also made the level-up system not reach its full potential. But now, since the red light was isolated enough, there were no such restrictions.

Lu Zhen stretched his body as he walked out of the room.

The door to the room automatically opened, as if it could sense Lu Zhen.

After Lu Zhen had gathered enough equipment from his modern life, where he was updated about technology up to the date he reincarnated, he had ordered Lu Qing and the others to construct devices for him.

Since this equipment was relatively easy to construct with their blueprints, they were created quickly.

The only reason it hadn't been invented until now was that it wasn't needed for martial artists yet.

The common people had too little power for them to even dare to think about creating such things, and the martial artists were too focused on cultivating their own strength.

Even though there were other martial artists who focused on different things, in the end, it was all about yourself and getting stronger.

The martial world's technology had stagnated because of this reason.

Even in the outside world, from what Lu Zhen had gathered, intel on their technology was very similar to their own circumstances because of the over-reliance on qi.

As he walked out of the room, Lu Zhen looked at the two burly men.

These two strong warriors had the aura of third-stage martial practitioners, with stern and serious expressions as if they could never smile.

One of them had a distinctive deep cut in the right eye, and the other had a cut on its cheek, making their faces even scarier.

The moment Lu Zhen came out of the cultivation room, they obediently bowed.

"We greet the leader."

"Hmm," Lu Zhen casually nodded his head, with a smile on his face.

"Let's go."

He casually said as he moved out, and the two strong warriors followed him.

As Lu Zhen walked in the passageway, there were countless servants cleaning around the passageway with their heads down and their expressions cold, as if they didn't have any emotion at all.

Even when Lu Zhen walked past them, they were unmoved as they continuously did their work like robots.

"These plant puppets are doing their work quite skillfully," Lu Zhen mused to himself.

Ever since he had plant Qi, he had been able to have the attribute of both life and wood, making puppets like there from wooden logs weren't a problem.

With his skills increasing, Lu Zhen could create even more of the wooden puppets almost effortlessly, with them being even more similar to humans.

Lu Zhen couldn't create such things when he had the wood Qi because he lacked the crucial attribute of life.

Without infusing them with that, although he might be able to create them, Lu Zhen had to manually control them, which was more troublesome.

As he walked through the hallway, Lu Zhen finally reached a luxurious throne room completely different from the previous one from the Lu family.

The throne rooms were spacious enough that they could fit an entire football stadium, with luxurious seats at the side, all coated with gold and diamond with valuable minerals that a mortal would probably never see in their lifetime.

However, what stood out the most was the throne in the middle, with a giant statue of a wooden dragon behind it, a head taller than all the other seats, with a gold-plated Leader Lu Zhen imprinted on it with masterful strokes that emitted an aura of authority and power.

Just besides the grand throne, there were two thrones as well, a cut below the main throne to its right and left as well.

There in the right throne, there was a beautiful woman sitting with a domineering aura, looking at the paper in her hand.

"Mother," Lu Zhen gently greeted with a smile on his face.

"Hmm?" Lu Ying gaze finally focused on Lu Zhen which made a smile appear on her face.
