Buzz—
The moment when a thousand demonic beasts gathered.
Lu Tao, He Yuanshuang, and Wu Ming stood on three sides, silently controlling hundreds of ice beads, forming a siege, and instantly unleashing their freezing power.
In an instant.
The terrifying freezing power, like a natural disaster, instantly affected an area of dozens of miles around the three of them, engulfing all one thousand demonic beasts.
"Waaah..."
"How is that possible?"
"No...run!"
"There was an ambush; we've been tricked."
In that instant, the gathered demonic beasts, especially those on the outer perimeter, were frozen solid without any time to react. Even in their dying moments, they remained in the posture of conversing with the other demonic beasts.
Only the monsters at the center of the monster circle have a moment to react.
pity.
This short time was far from enough for them to escape; they only had time to unleash their demonic power to resist the freezing force.
Unfortunately, the freezing power was too strong, and there were too many ice beads.
Even if they try their best, they cannot last for even a single breath.
Buzz!
After one breath.
The freezing power emanating from hundreds of fourth-grade high-quality ice beads completely covered all the demonic beasts, and not a single one was able to escape.
All one thousand demonic beasts froze to death.
Every demon beast seemed to be still alive. The outer demon beasts were calm, but the two hundred inner demon beasts still had a deep look of fear in their eyes.
seem.
They couldn't believe it even in their dying moments: a full thousand demonic beasts had been slaughtered in an instant, without any power to resist.
They had originally planned to gather all the demonic beasts to guard against Lu Tao's assassination or sneak attack.
But this is how it ended.
It's truly ironic.
"Brother Tao, these ice beads are incredibly powerful."
Wu Ming appeared, staring in shock at the frozen beasts, and muttered, "These were a thousand Grandmaster-level beasts, and they froze to death so easily."
"Yes, even their divine sense was frozen, it's unbelievable."
He Yuanshuang also appeared and carefully sensed the state of the demon beasts, discovering that not only were their physical bodies frozen, but their consciousness was also frozen.
In that instant, all the demonic beasts were frozen to death.
There is no chance of survival.
Lu Tao smiled faintly and instructed, "Clean up quickly, don't leave any trace."
"good!"
The three immediately sprang into action, controlling the ice beads to retract the freezing power, and then storing all the corpses of the thousand demonic beasts into their spatial rings.
now.
Lu Tao obtained a large number of magical beast corpses and spatial treasures, and it would take a lot of time just to sort them out.
I'll organize it when I have time later.
Before collecting the monster's corpse, Lu Tao controlled the Soul-Absorbing Pearl to absorb all of the monster's collapsed consciousness.
After tidying everything up.
He Yuanshuang looked at Lu Tao with excitement and asked, "Brother Lu, what should we do next?"
"Let's kill the other monsters first, then we'll rejoin everyone."
As Lu Tao spoke, he took out his binoculars and quickly scanned the area around the secret realm to find where the monsters were hiding. He then instructed He Yuanshuang and the other woman to act quickly.
The secret realm is vast. Even at the speed of the Innate Realm, it would take about two days just to fly from the outer perimeter to the center of the secret realm.
but.
Currently, He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming have both broken through from the Marrow Refining Realm to the late stage of Grandmaster, and with the addition of Heaven-Rank Movement Technique and the amplification of fourth-rank high-grade shoes.
Their flight speed far exceeded that of the altar.
Therefore, it didn't take long for them to fly from the center of the secret realm to the outer perimeter.
call--
The blazing flames, each time they appear, take the life of a demon beast.
Under the relentless pursuit of Lu Tao and his two companions, the remaining ninety-odd demonic beasts were found and eliminated one by one by Lu Tao.
Half an hour later.
Within the secret realm, there were no more demonic beasts. Lu Tao then took He Yuanshuang and the other two into his cave and joined the others.
Su Peng immediately asked, "Brother Lu, how many demonic beasts did you kill?"
Lu Tao chuckled and said, "All three thousand demonic beasts will be annihilated."
"What? You killed all three thousand demonic beasts?"
"Impossible! Those were three thousand Grandmaster-level demonic beasts! They were all killed?"
"Young Master Lu isn't joking?"
Everyone stared at Lu Tao in shock upon hearing this, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Even Zhao Miaotong, Han Yi, and others, who knew that Lu Tao had once reached the ninth level of the Divine Platform and possessed the combat power to kill opponents of higher levels, could hardly believe their ears.
Besides the four hundred they had killed earlier, there were still a total of two thousand six hundred demonic beasts.
Even if we chased down so many demonic beasts with the cultivation of a Grandmaster at its peak, it would still take a lot of time, right?
In just three hours, so many demonic beasts were killed by Lu Tao all by himself.
This is simply unbelievable.
How did he do that?
At this moment, everyone looked at Lu Tao as if he were a monster.
The newly arrived cultivators were even more shocked than the others.
"These three thousand demonic beasts pose little threat and are nothing to worry about."
Lu Tao shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The next two thousand Divine Platform Perfection experts are the key."
"???"
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, and then their expressions changed drastically.
Han Yi swallowed hard and stammered, "Brother Lu, do you plan to merge the three secret realms?"
Before Lu Tao could speak, someone immediately objected: "No, absolutely not! Once the three secret realms merge and two thousand Divine Platforms reach perfection, we will be no match for them."
"Exactly! If they were to enter my territory, it would be a disaster. My territory... might be destroyed!"
This is not an exaggeration at all.
Everyone nodded in agreement; the three secret realms absolutely could not be allowed to merge completely.
Lu Tao pressed his hand down and said, "The Demon Realm will catch up with us in about an hour. Unless we self-destruct two of our realms, their fusion is inevitable."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Kong Anzhi suddenly said in a deep voice, "Then let's self-destruct the secret realm. We would rather wander in the spatial interlayer than let the divine altars of the demon and monster races reach perfection and enter the great battle."
"Indeed, two thousand Divine Platforms at the peak. Once they break through, they will become two thousand Martial Kings. With Da Gan completely unprepared, they attacked from within. Da Gan has no chance of winning at all."
"Lu Tao, Sect Master Lu, detonate the secret realm!"
"Yes, self-destructing secret realm. We are prepared to wander the void."
Almost everyone agreed to self-destruct the secret realm, even knowing that the demon race's altar could enhance comprehension; they were still willing to destroy it.
"Don't be so pessimistic. Two thousand Divine Platform Perfection cultivators are not invincible."
Lu Tao waved his hand and said, "Moreover, since Kong Xin has already refined two secret realms, even if she merges with the demonic secret realm, as long as they don't steal her refinement, Kong Xin can make the secret realm self-destruct at any time. You don't need to worry."
"..."
Hearing Lu Tao's words, everyone thought he had gone mad.
Those are two thousand Divine Platform Perfection cultivators. Not to mention Lu Tao is only a Grandmaster Perfection cultivator, even a Martial King wouldn't dare say he could kill so many demons.
But Lu Tao's words also make sense.
Anyway, Kong Xin can make the secret realm self-destruct at any time. Since Lu Tao is confident in this, it seems worth a try.
However, some people still hold opposing views.
"But isn't this too risky?"
"Yes, what if... Brother Lu, it's not that I don't trust you, I'm just saying, what if the demon and monster races use some special means to steal the bead?"
Lu Tao smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I have already obtained the memories of the demon god Ao Cang's avatar. They don't have this kind of method."
After hearing what Lu Tao said, the others stopped objecting.
At this moment.
There was a hidden expectation in everyone's heart.
Hopefully, Lu Tao can kill all two thousand Divine Platform Perfection cultivators, so that they won't have to wander the void.
But that's too difficult.
They knew it was just wishful thinking.
"Do any of you possess any Heaven-Rank cultivation techniques? You can exchange them with me. I don't want anything to improve my cultivation, just martial arts skills."
Lu Tao looked at everyone and added, "High-grade materials are also needed."
He wanted to improve his strength as much as possible before merging with the secret realm, and to refine some things casually.
"I have a fragmented Heaven-rank sword technique here."
"I have Tier 2 materials..."
No one held back, and in a short time, they managed to exchange for nineteen Heaven-rank martial arts techniques. Although most of them were incomplete, it was still quite a lot.
This further enhanced Lu Tao's strength.
We obtained quite a few materials, but unfortunately, none of them were Tier 1 materials; the most we got were Tier 2 materials.
"Let's go to the altar. While there's still time, you can try challenging the demon race's altar. This opportunity is rare."
Lu Tao looked relaxed and quickly led everyone to the altar.
"Let me give it a try."
"Improving comprehension, even if it only allows one to pass through the first-tier Divine Platform, is worth it."
Everyone was very excited.
They originally thought that entering the secret realm would allow them to comprehend cultivation techniques, but instead it improved their comprehension. Relatively speaking, they preferred the latter.
Seeing everyone taking turns to challenge, Lu Tao considered whether he should call out He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming.
However, after thinking about it, time was limited, and they could only double their comprehension. There was no need to risk revealing their cultivation levels, and Lu Tao had his own plans.
Ultimately, the two were not allowed to perform on stage.
Lu Tao, however, did not give up the opportunity and also went on stage to challenge the eighth step.
"So he was that confident; he actually has such strength."
"The eighth level should require crossing five minor realms. He defeated an early-stage Martial King?"
Everyone was shocked once again as they watched Lu Tao improve his comprehension at the eighth level.
To defeat an early-stage Martial King with the power of a Grandmaster at the peak of his cultivation is an extraordinary feat.
Suddenly, everyone's confidence in Lu Tao increased significantly.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed.
Lu Tao flew down from the eighth step and asked Kong Xin, "Xin'er, how long until we meet again?"
Kong Xin replied somewhat nervously, "A quarter of an hour!"
"The timing is perfect."
Lu Tao nodded and looked at everyone, saying, "Now that the three secret realms are about to merge, your strength is too weak. You should all enter my cave. Leave the rest to us."
"good."
Despite being looked down upon, everyone had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Lu Tao took everyone into the cave and placed them alone on one side of the cave, covering them with an array to prevent them from looking at other parts of the cave.
then.
Lu Tao entered the cave, quickly crafted a safe house, set up a second-tier formation with second-tier materials, upgraded it, and handed it over to Kong Xin.
This was used to protect Kong Xin's safety.
Lu Tao instructed, "Xin'er, you will stay in the safe house for a while."
"Okay, Brother Lu."
Kong Xin nodded, not afraid at all.
"Shuang'er, Xiaoming, let's move out."
Lu Tao then instructed He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming to put on invisibility cloaks.
The three of them instantly became invisible and disappeared.
In front of the altar, there is only one safe house, from which Kong Xin can be seen.
The four, three in the shadows and one in the light, waited patiently for the secret realm to merge.
A moment later.
The Demon Realm has finally caught up and begun to merge with the two other realms...
