"Lu Tao?"
Upon hearing this, Shan Yu stopped instantly in the courtyard and looked up at the figure in mid-air.
He never expected that the person who came to search for him was Lu Tao, rather than the Martial God clone of the Great Gan Royal Family.
and.
Lu Tao is only at the Divine Platform realm, isn't he?
How could someone possess such an ability to find themselves, identify others, and instantly break free from their control?
This is simply unbelievable.
You need to know.
Those enslaved by me are all Grandmasters and Divine Platforms. To remove the enslavement mark from them, I must first control them and remove the mark before they have time to inform me of this through their soul imprint.
This would require him to completely overwhelm those he controls in terms of cultivation and strength.
Even someone at the peak of the Divine Platform realm cannot control others at a slightly lower level without them reacting.
therefore.
Shan Yu was puzzled as to how Lu Tao had managed to do all this so quietly.
Lu Tao is indeed powerful, but there is only one of him. Even with his clones, he can only save a few people.
But ironically, all five thousand grandmasters and divine figures were rescued.
If it were said that Da Gan possessed hundreds of Martial Kings and thousands of Divine Platforms, he wouldn't be surprised to have achieved this, but Da Gan currently doesn't have that many powerful individuals.
All those Martial King level experts have gone to support the Outer Heaven.
so--
How exactly did Lu Tao manage to do that?
Such methods made Shan Yu feel somewhat frightened.
Dan Yu stared at Lu Tao, his powerful spiritual energy scanning him frantically. Suddenly, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Lu Tao, you came to find me all alone. Aren't you afraid of being killed here?"
He was somewhat surprised and uncertain, as there was no one else present, only Lu Tao.
They didn't even see a shadow of the royal family.
"You overestimate yourself."
Lu Tao smiled faintly, not in a hurry to deal with Shan Yu. Instead, he looked at Shan Yu with some emotion.
"Shan Yu, I must say, you really are a genius."
Lu Tao shook his head and said, "In just twenty or thirty years, you have not only reshaped your physical body and cultivated the Marrow Refining Technique, but your cultivation level has also recovered to the peak of the Martial King realm. Tsk tsk, you truly deserve to be the number one genius of the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom."
"You actually managed to see that I had entered the Marrow Refinement stage?"
Shan Yu's pupils contracted sharply.
This means that Lu Tao is probably no longer at the Divine Platform Realm, but rather at the Martial King Realm, or even a low-level Martial King Realm, and has also cultivated some kind of high-level pupil technique.
Otherwise, Lu Tao would not have been able to see through his true nature.
also.
He could tell from Lu Tao's tone that Lu Tao didn't take him seriously at all, as if he could manipulate him at will.
This infuriated Shan Yu.
He's a Martial King at the peak of his cultivation, and he's also at the Marrow Refining stage, proficient in all kinds of martial arts. What makes Lu Tao so confident?
Even if Lu Tao can kill a late-stage Martial King when he is in the early stage of the Divine Platform realm, so what?
He can do it too.
He refused to believe that with his current cultivation level and strength, he could be inferior to Lu Tao.
"kill!"
Before Lu Tao could speak, Shan Yu instantly soared into the sky and charged towards Lu Tao.
He wanted to take advantage of Lu Tao's carelessness and the arrival of the rest of the royal family to rescue him, and capture Lu Tao.
However……
He had just soared into the sky when he was greeted by a palm strike descending from above.
To his shock, the palm strike was incredibly powerful and posed a great threat to him.
Dan Yu sensed danger and felt a chill run down his spine. He dared not take the attack head-on and used his movement technique to try to avoid the palm strike.
But the palm shadow followed him like a shadow, and even with his perfected Martial King level and his high-grade Heaven-rank movement technique, he couldn't avoid it.
"How is that possible?"
Dan Yu was terrified, his face full of confusion.
He clearly saw that this was just a casual palm strike from Lu Tao, but why was it so powerful even though it was a high-grade Heaven-rank martial skill?
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Shan Yu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Break!"
immediately.
Then Shan Yu took out a long sword and rushed towards the palm shadow, instantly stabbing the palm shadow with his sword.
bite!
The longsword struck the palm shadow with a crisp clang, and then, with the remaining force of the palm shadow, it struck Shan Yu.
Kneel down!
Almost simultaneously, Lu Tao's calm voice rang out.
With a bang.
No matter how Shan Yu tried to defend himself, this palm strike knocked his weapon away and landed squarely on him, slamming him to the ground.
And the posture, just as Lu Tao had said, was kneeling.
"puff……"
Dan Yu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, whether from being beaten or from anger, it was unclear.
"How can he be so strong?"
Dan Yu was a little confused. He looked up at Lu Tao with a puzzled expression, trying to sense Lu Tao's cultivation level, but he couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, Shan Yu realized something and exclaimed, "Lu Tao, are you also a Martial King at the peak of his cultivation?"
otherwise.
How could Lu Tao be so strong?
Lu Tao has high talent and great potential, and he gained more benefits from the tribulation. Only this explanation can show that although Lu Tao's cultivation level is similar to his, his strength is stronger.
As for the higher realm of Martial God, he never even considered it.
I've never heard of anyone advancing from a low-level cultivator to a Martial God in just two months.
Although he had never heard of anyone being able to advance from a low realm to a Martial King in just two months.
But he believed the latter more than the former possibility.
"you guess."
Lu Tao remained calm and did not answer.
Instead, he twirled his hand, and a bead appeared in his palm. He descended from the sky and said, "It's time for you all to reunite. I've been looking forward to this moment for a long time."
Dan Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he said hatefully, "You actually controlled my clone!"
He sensed the presence of the clone through the Soul-Seizing Technique.
In earlier times.
When he learned that Lu Tao had refined the secret realm and caused the secret realms of the demon and monster races to self-destruct, he guessed that Lu Tao had obtained the method of refining the secret realm from his clone.
only.
He assumed that the clone was cooperating with Lu Tao, or that the clone had voluntarily handed over the refining technique to Lu Tao before being killed by him.
But he never really thought that his clone would be controlled by Lu Tao.
after all.
His clone had entered the secret realm three days earlier, so Lu Tao couldn't possibly ambush it. Without being ambushed, controlling the clone would be extremely difficult. He had already ordered the clone to self-destruct if it was in danger of being controlled.
But now it seems...
The clone obviously failed to self-destruct and was controlled by Lu Tao.
Upon realizing this, Shan Yu's true form was suddenly startled.
Since Lu Tao could prevent his clone from self-destructing, he could also prevent him from self-destructing, so he... might also be controlled.
The next moment.
Dan Yu suddenly rushed towards the outside of the courtyard, trying to escape from this place.
Bang!
But as it turned out, in the seemingly empty void, something mysterious seemed to exist, and he crashed into it headfirst, his head bleeding profusely, his entire face a bloody mess.
"who?"
Dan Yu was taken aback and carefully examined the area with his spiritual sense, but found nothing.
But he clearly felt as if he had been punched or kicked by something just a moment ago.
Lu Tao said calmly, "Shan Yu, you can't escape."
"Coward, you even have helpers."
Shan Yu glared at Lu Tao through gritted teeth and couldn't help but sneer.
then.
Thinking of his own situation, Shan Yu said with a stern face, "Lu Tao, I still control tens of thousands of innate cultivators. You need to think this through. With just a thought from me, they will all self-destruct. At that time, the Great Battle will result in countless deaths and injuries."
Lu Tao looked at Shan Yu strangely and said, "Since when have innate cultivators come to your attention?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Shan Yu remained silent for a moment.
These words sounded like a compliment, but he just couldn't feel happy.
Because what Lu Tao said was true. The enslavement technique could not be controlled infinitely. He could only control more than five thousand Grandmasters and Divine Platforms, which was already extremely difficult.
As for the Innate Realm, he couldn't be bothered to control it.
He would only casually enslave some people with exceptional talent.
We'll see.
Since Lu Tao had seized the Dragon Palace, he naturally obtained the secret method of enslavement, and he knew very well how many people he could control.
so.
His own words have no credibility whatsoever.
Thinking of this, Shan Yu felt a wave of weakness wash over him.
now.
Without the bargaining chips he mentioned, he had no chance to struggle against Lu Tao.
"Come in!"
Lu Tao didn't bother with Shan Yu and reached out to grab Shan Yu's head.
"Ah... I don't believe you're really that strong!"
Dan Yu yelled and frantically dodged and sprinted, using every trick in the book to try and escape from Lu Tao.
What can be done?
The disparity in strength is too great.
even.
Lu Tao didn't even reveal any supernatural powers, yet he left Lu Tao with nowhere to escape.
"Haha, if I had known this would happen, I should have taken action ten years ago."
After shouting those words in regret, Shan Yu suddenly had a thought and lunged at Lu Tao, resolutely choosing to self-destruct in order to take Lu Tao away.
All his plans were ruined by Lu Tao, and he was very unwilling to accept it. Even if he died, he would still take a piece of Lu Tao's skin.
only……
"town!"
With a single word, he experienced the scene that his clone had experienced.
With a soft "poof".
Lu Tao's palm landed on the stiff Shan Yu's head, instantly destroying his physical body and turning it into endless primordial energy that nourished the world.
then.
Lu Tao grabbed Shan Yu's soul and, amidst his roars and screams, calmly threw it into the Soul-Capturing Pearl.
In an instant.
The fusion of Shan Yu's clone and main body.
Moments later, Lu Tao had completely taken control of Shan Yu.
"Servant Shan Yu greets his master!"
Dan Yu was controlled by both the Soul-Capturing Pearl and Lu Tao. His respectful voice came from the Soul-Capturing Pearl, and he obeyed Lu Tao's every word without any resentment.
From that moment on, his life no longer belonged to him.
Lu Tao nodded silently, then asked curiously, "You said before that we should have taken action ten years ago. Tell me more about this matter."
Lu Tao was somewhat alarmed.
If Shan Yu had acted ten years earlier, the Great Project would probably have been lost long ago.
And naturally, he couldn't have traveled through time.
As for everything that exists now, it all no longer exists.
"Yes, Master!"
Shan Yu slowly said, "Regarding the plans of the demon and monster races, they have been urging us to do it as soon as possible..."
