Boom—
The various supernatural powers were extremely powerful, and they fiercely bombarded the outer heaven protective array.
Buzz!
What appeared to be an ordinary divine array revealed a defensive capability far exceeding that of a divine array the moment it was attacked.
then……
The three excited divine beings saw that their divine powers, when they landed on the Heavenly Outer Heaven Protection Array, only caused the array to sway slightly before remaining unharmed.
"How is this possible?"
The three gods who came down from the divine realm, including Ao Xin, could hardly believe their eyes.
They were powerful celestial beings from the divine realm. Although their cultivation was limited by heaven and earth, they lacked supernatural powers. Even with their combined strength, they failed to break through the mere lower realm divine array.
This is something they find hard to accept.
This formation doesn't seem to be of high grade; it's just a divine formation.
Why is its defense so strong?
How is it possible that it even reaches the strength of a celestial-level formation?
"Go all out and break through it!"
Ao Xin instantly snapped out of his daze and ordered Black Cat and Jiao Yang to attack with all their might to break through the protective formation.
Buzz!
At that very moment.
Lu Tao emerged from the cave and instantly appeared outside the protective formation, standing before the three celestial gods. He chuckled and said, "I thought that even the powerful beings of the divine realm would at least maintain their status and challenge us first... I didn't expect them to be so pathetic, resorting to a sneak attack."
"Hmph, aren't we just challenging you? Do you think we can't break through your trash formation with our strength?"
Ao Xin snorted coldly, then carefully examined Lu Tao with an inscrutable look in his eyes, and asked, "You are Lu Tao?"
"good."
Lu Tao nodded in agreement, and curiously examined the three Celestial God powerhouses. Finally, his gaze settled on Ao Xin, and he said with a strange look in his eyes, "The aura on your body seems to be stronger than the other two. Is it because your original cultivation level was higher, or is it because... you are a true Marrow Refiner?"
Lu Tao was extremely excited at this moment.
He hadn't expected that one of the powerful figures who came down from the God Realm this time was actually a true Marrow Refiner.
Ever since learning of the great changes in the world and that the so-called marrow refinement was a pseudo-marrow refinement, Lu Tao has been trying to find out the conditions for true marrow refinement and the methods for advancement.
but.
Even if he advanced to the Martial God level, improved his aptitude to the upper-grade of the Divine Rank, and mastered many high-grade Heaven Rank techniques to perfection, he still could not advance his marrow refinement further.
But now, he sees hope.
Although he appeared to be asking questions, he had already confirmed in his heart that the true dragon before him was the one that refined marrow.
His Heavenly Eye has now been upgraded to the middle grade of the Heavenly Rank, and its power has reached the lower grade of the Flood Rank. It is not difficult for him to see through some of Ao Xin's situations.
"A mere ant from the lower realm dares to attempt to reach the Marrow Refining Realm?"
Ao Xin sneered, seemingly not taking Lu Tao seriously, and then said in a deep voice, "Lu Tao, hand over the secret realm, and I'll spare your lives, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tao raised an eyebrow and immediately realized that these powerful figures from the divine realm had misunderstood the appearance of the true dragon as a secret realm.
"How could I entrust such a strange and mysterious place to you?"
Lu Tao shook his head and smiled, "How about this, you tell me the true method of advancing to the Marrow Refining Realm, and I'll spare your lives, how about that?"
"You're asking for it!"
Ao Xin flew into a rage upon hearing this.
A mere martial god from the lower realm dares to threaten a celestial being; he's practically courting death.
"kill!"
The next moment.
With a furious roar from Ao Xin, three powerful celestial beings from the divine realm instantly attacked Lu Tao.
Crack!
The moment Ao Xin made his move, he unleashed his innate divine power. A bolt of incomparably powerful lightning shot out from his body, transforming into a cage that enveloped Lu Tao from all directions.
"Aww!"
At the same time, Ao Xin roared and activated his other innate divine power—Dragon Might.
The powerful dragon's might, accompanied by a dragon's roar, not only blasted towards Lu Tao but also spread throughout the surrounding starry sky, disrupting the cosmos and preventing Lu Tao from teleporting away.
"Meow!"
at the same time.
Black Cat let out a soft meow, its entire body instantly teleporting behind Lu Tao. It channeled its internal supernatural power into its claws and slashed at Lu Tao.
The power of this claw was so great that it even caused ripples in the space above the stars.
"Aww!"
At the same time.
The dragon roared to the sky, its innate divine power of dragon might spreading out as it attacked Lu Tao. Moreover, a special scale on the back of its neck flashed with cold light and transformed into a dark longsword, its cold light chilling, and it slashed at Lu Tao.
The attacks of the three powerful celestial beings were unleashed in an instant.
Buzz!
Two dragon roars and two dragon mights acted on Lu Tao at the same time. Even though Lu Tao was a pseudo-Marrow Refiner and could ignore Jiao Yang's dragon might attack, he could not withstand Ao Xin's true Marrow Refiner dragon might.
but.
Lu Tao had anticipated this.
As early as when he appeared in the Outer Heaven, Lu Tao had already used the merged and upgraded Soul Bell to cover his soul and prevent it from being attacked.
With a loud bang.
Ao Xin's powerful dragon might attack landed on the Soul Bell, causing it to ripple slightly, but it did not have the slightest impact on Lu Tao's soul.
"You've got some nerve, daring to come close to me!"
Almost simultaneously.
Lu Tao sneered and used his Free and Easy Wandering Divine Power. He was almost teleporting, not only dodging the attacks of Black Cat and Jiao Yang, but also appearing behind Black Cat and slashing at him with his own sword.
when--
The black cat reacted with lightning speed and was extremely agile. With a sudden turn, it managed to block Lu Tao's powerful attack with its own flesh and blood and its claws.
"Huh?"
Lu Tao let out a soft "hmm".
He was somewhat surprised to find that after the black cat took his blow, its claws were completely unharmed.
You need to know.
His divine sword was forged from first-tier materials and upgraded all the way up from the lowest tier. Its power and hardness have long surpassed the level of divine artifacts.
Even so, he couldn't sever the black cat's claws with a single sword strike.
but.
Compared to Lu Tao's surprised exclamation, the black cat couldn't help but exclaim, "How is this possible?"
The black cat was utterly shocked.
Its cat claws are no ordinary creatures. Having undergone countless years of tempering using desolate-grade divine powers, their hardness and power are comparable to divine artifacts.
But it can be crushed by a single claw.
Lu Tao's artifact was completely undamaged. Although it was defensive, it also contained offensive capabilities. This shouldn't have been the outcome.
It was a little confused.
Considering the formation from earlier, and Lu Tao's agility in resisting Ao Xin's dragon might...
In that instant, the black cat abandoned its contempt.
"Be careful, this kid is not simple."
Similarly, Ao Xin also noticed Lu Tao's extraordinary qualities and offered a reminder.
but.
It wasn't worried that Lu Tao could escape.
Because its lightning cage had already enveloped Lu Tao, and even teleportation was not an option to leave it.
"Hey!"
Lu Tao chuckled as he looked at the approaching cage of thunder, and with a flick of his wrist, he slashed at the scales of the dragon in the ocean.
With a clang.
As the two swords clashed, a tremendous force surged from the longswords, seemingly intent on tearing Lu Tao's body apart.
However, under the impact of Lu Tao's inner energy, this force was dissolved into nothingness.
Jiao Yang's scales, on the other hand, were repelled without sustaining any damage.
Then, under Jiao Yang's control, the scales attacked Lu Tao again.
Crack!
At the same time.
The lightning cage continued to shrink, enveloping Lu Tao. Powerful lightning crackled and popped, radiating boundless might, as bolts of lightning bombarded Lu Tao.
"Die!"
The black cat was also inside the lightning cage. The lightning did not attack it; it simply stood at a distance, constantly waving its claws, sending powerful claw shadows towards Lu Tao.
Despite facing numerous powerful attacks, Lu Tao remained fearless.
"No leakage!"
As soon as Lu Tao had a thought, he unleashed his defensive divine power without fail. A thick and solid defensive shield appeared around Lu Tao, directly blocking all the lightning and claw shadows.
Boom—
The powerful lightning and claw shadows struck Wulou, instantly unleashing a dazzling light.
The three gods, including Ao Xin, couldn't help but smile with delight.
However.
Before the dazzling light had even dissipated, the three celestial beings' divine souls had already seen that, under such a powerful attack, the shield around Lu Tao's body had only slightly dented and had not broken at all.
Not to mention killing Lu Tao.
"how so?"
In the starry sky, the three gods stared at Lu Tao in shock, their eyes filled with horror.
Ao Xin couldn't help but ask, "Why is your supernatural power so strong? Judging from the aura of your supernatural power, it's only a mid-grade Heaven-rank supernatural power, but its defensive power is even stronger than a high-grade Desolate-rank supernatural power?"
Lu Tao smiled faintly; naturally, he wouldn't answer Ao Xin's question.
Lu Tao looked at the three gods with a calm expression, and said with some disappointment, "To be honest, your strength is a bit weak. If that's all you've got, then you can leave now."
"Slay the gods!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tao suddenly shouted, holding his sword with both hands, and slashed at the black cat inside the Thunder Cage.
This time.
He went all out, holding nothing back.
A dazzling sword light flashed across the starry sky, tearing a rift in the space and instantly spreading towards the black cat, aiming to slash at its body.
"Meow, block them!"
The black cat was terrified and hurriedly summoned an earth-colored shield to protect itself in front of it, ready to meet the divine power of the God-Slaying Technique.
Click!
However--
When the voice rang out, the black cat's pupils contracted sharply, and its entire body vanished from the spot, leaving only half of its tail behind.
With a hissing sound.
The sword light flashed across the starry sky, not only shattering the black cat's shield and severing its tail, but also cleaving through the thunder cage with a single stroke.
"How can he be so strong?"
This moment.
Not only was the black cat horrified, but even Ao Xin couldn't understand it.
Judging from its aura, it was only a mid-grade Heaven-rank divine ability, but its power was even stronger than that of a Desolate-rank divine ability.
Such supernatural powers did not exist in its memory at all.
But they had no time to think, because Lu Tao was already charging towards them...
