Buzz!
The moment it ascended into the desolate region, the dragon, which had initially felt light and comfortable, suddenly felt an immense aura enveloping it.
The dragon saw that its body was already bound hand and foot.
Various powerful artifact chains and rule chains wrapped around his body.
Just sensing the aura emanating from the divine artifact, the dragon felt suffocated.
"What's this?"
The dragon struggled in panic, but it was completely unable to move an inch.
At the same time, a series of noisy sounds rang out.
"Indeed, some beings have ascended to heaven, but I wonder... if it's Lu Tao."
"Regardless of whether it's Lu Tao or not, let's get him under control first."
“That’s right. Even Lu Tao wouldn’t be able to escape under the control of the Venerable’s formation.”
"If we can capture Lu Tao, it will be a great achievement for us!"
"Be careful, Lu Tao is no ordinary person, don't be careless."
...
These voices were filled with a mixture of fear and surprise, seemingly expressing a contradiction: they both hoped it was Lu Tao and didn't want it to be Lu Tao.
Upon hearing these voices, the dragon immediately shouted, "Seniors, I am not Lu Zong... I am not Lu Tao, please let me go!"
pity.
No one paid any attention to the dragon's shouts.
The other beings stood far away outside the Ascension Pool, watching it warily. At the same time, they were constantly sending messages outward, seemingly to inform certain beings about this matter.
"Tsk, that guy really thinks highly of me."
In the small world, Lu Tao was not surprised to see this scene.
The array set up on the Ascension Pool is extremely powerful; its sheer power is enough to trap a half-step Divine Emperor.
This was clearly arranged by the strange young man himself.
In fact.
In Lu Tao's prayer, not only this Ascension Pool had an array, but all the other Ascension Pools in the Desolate Region were also set up with arrays by the strange young man, even the Ascension Pool in the Heavenly Change Forbidden Land was the same.
It is clear that the strange young man also hoped to trap Lu Tao to death in the lower realm.
Or perhaps...
It is hoped that when Lu Tao ascends to the desolate region through other living beings, they can trap him immediately and capture him alive.
"Let's do it!"
Lu Tao saw a teleportation array next to the Ascension Pool, which was obviously used by the strange young man himself so that he could be teleported over as soon as possible. Lu Tao did not delay and gave the order directly.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
As the 108 pre-prepared disciples of the Divine Lord level received their orders, they instantly burned their essence, energy, and spirit, and then each wielded a Divine King weapon, unleashing their killing moves in the form of an array.
With a loud bang.
Then, the same 108 terrifying sword techniques converged into a long sword with even greater power, and instantly struck out in a certain direction of the Lesser Thousand Worlds.
It seemed to want to pierce through the microcosm.
Its terrifying power even made the six half-step God Emperors feel fear.
The next moment.
A huge vortex appeared in front of the longsword, and the longsword plunged straight into it and disappeared instantly.
Buzz!
Almost simultaneously, a terrifying longsword suddenly appeared from the dragon's body, and then, to the dragon's astonishment, stabbed into the formation.
Boom!
A terrifying explosion rang out, but it only lasted for a moment. With a crack, the formation that had trapped a half-step Divine Emperor actually showed cracks.
Then the cracks continued to spread.
In less than a breath, with a loud bang, the entire formation was instantly destroyed.
"It's over!"
"No……"
"roar……"
Amidst the fear of countless creatures, the longsword swept across them like a plow sweeping through a pit, erasing all sound.
call……
A gentle breeze swept by, and all the creatures beside the Ascension Pool vanished, as if they had never existed.
The teleportation array that had just lit up next to it was also destroyed.
"this……"
In the Ascension Pool, the dragon stared blankly at everything, its mind a bit muddled, seemingly not understanding what was happening.
But soon, it reacted with a jolt.
If we don't leave now, we might die here.
The dragon vanished from the Ascension Pool in a flash, and in the next instant it had already fled far away.
"Walk!"
In secret, Lu Tao had already taken control of the Lesser Thousand Worlds and left the Ascension Pool as well.
Traveling through Tianzhou.
Within the Lesser Thousand Worlds, Luo Xian gazed upon the devastated landscape and sighed, "Tianzhou truly has suffered many calamities. Most of the famous battles in history have taken place in Tianzhou."
Ye Xuan chimed in, "Yes, Tianzhou was originally the largest and richest state in the desolate region, but after one great war after another, it has become increasingly impoverished."
Seeing Tianzhou's appearance, the other half-step God Emperors also felt a little sorry for him.
Tianzhou had finally recovered from the great war, only to be ravaged again in the last battle.
This time it was even more thorough. The destruction of Tianzhou was unprecedented. Not to mention divine veins, even ordinary spiritual herbs were basically destroyed.
Almost nothing was left behind.
The entire state had become a desolate wasteland.
But it is perfectly suited for use in overcoming tribulations.
call out!
Soon, under Lu Tao's control, the No. 2 Lesser Thousand World arrived at the center of Tianzhou at an extremely terrifying speed.
Lu Tao nodded to everyone and said, "Proceed according to plan!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The disciples obeyed the order, while He Yuanshuang said softly, "Husband, be careful!"
"Um!"
Lu Tao nodded slightly, then left the small world and appeared in the outside world.
Buzz!
At this moment, Lu Tao, who had been prepared all along, released his perfect Divine Lord aura without reservation, allowing the will of heaven and earth to capture it.
Boom!
Almost instantly, this world began to brew a tribulation of lightning.
Lu Tao looked relaxed and quietly awaited the arrival of the tribulation lightning.
In the small world, He Yuanshuang kept scanning her surroundings with a telescope in hand. Soon she discovered a terrifying figure, which was the strange young man.
He Yuanshuang's expression changed immediately, and she decisively ordered, "Action!"
"yes!"
As He Yuanshuang gave the order, many disciples offered up their various auras, chopsticks, and their own comprehension and talent to the curse formation.
And at the same time as the sacrifice.
He Yuanshuang had already opened the external passages of the No. 2 Minor World and the Minor World, allowing them to connect with the outside world.
In this way...
Their curses do not transcend worlds, do not require any extra effort, and can unleash their full power.
Similarly.
Caught completely off guard, the strange youth will not hide in his own world, and he will fully bear the curse, maximizing its harm to him.
This is why Lu Tao wanted to return to the desolate region through the Ascension Pool.
original.
With his abilities, he could have easily returned to the desolate region without anyone noticing, but he didn't do that. He wanted to lure the strange young man out and then curse him.
Buzz!
After a quarter of an hour, the sinister and terrifying curse formation finally devoured all the offerings, with countless precious items being sacrificed.
The curse took shape.
"Um?"
On the other side.
The eerie young man, whose face was extremely ugly, fell from mid-air due to the sudden disconnection of the teleportation array, and was already furious.
But suddenly, he had a feeling that a great disaster was about to befall him.
This feeling came out of nowhere, and even with his cultivation and strength, he couldn't sense where it came from.
"Strange, could there be danger on this trip?"
The strange young man was somewhat surprised and uncertain. The higher one's cultivation level, the more one believed in such a warning from the unseen world, so he certainly wouldn't take it lightly.
"It seems to be a curse?"
The strange young man had already investigated Lu Tao's various methods and knew that Lu Tao could curse other living beings, so his expression became somewhat strange.
"but……"
"Lu Tao's curse formation requires sacrifice. Even if he sacrifices all the other divine artifacts he obtained, it shouldn't have much of an impact on me."
"Moreover, he probably wouldn't be willing to sacrifice those powerful divine artifacts."
Putting myself in his shoes, if I were him, I would never sacrifice a treasure like a divine king artifact when I was at the Divine Lord level. Similarly, I would not be willing to use other precious items for sacrifice.
As for the divine artifacts...
Even if hundreds of races were combined, it wouldn't amount to much. He wasn't worried that simply sacrificing these divine artifacts to curse him would have no effect on him.
He has absolute confidence in his abilities.
Even if Lu Tao is exceptionally talented, he is only a mere Perfected Divine Lord.
If he had to back down even when facing a Divine Lord, he would never be able to cultivate to the Divine Emperor realm.
Thinking this way, the strange young man felt a little more at ease.
He continued flying towards Tianzhou.
soon.
The strange young man appeared in Tianzhou and immediately saw the terrifying lightning tribulation brewing.
"Such a terrifying range of lightning tribulation... No wonder it is a perfect lightning tribulation."
The strange young man's expression was somewhat solemn.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone successfully undergo a tribulation of lightning while at the Divine Lord realm, and the range of that tribulation was a terrifying one million miles.
This is the range of tribulations that other living beings undergo when they are undergoing the tribulation of the God Emperor.
That's simply outrageous.
The strange young man flew over at incredible speed, sneering, "Lu Tao, you have some nerve! You dare to undergo your tribulation right under my nose? You're practically courting death!"
"Who told you to destroy all the other secret realms?"
Under the lightning tribulation, Lu Tao chuckled and said, "Otherwise, why would I need to let you know when I'm undergoing my tribulation? Wouldn't that just create unnecessary trouble?"
"Your information network is quite impressive."
The strange young man's expression changed slightly; he had indeed planned for Lu Tao's tribulation long ago.
Just as Lu Tao had guessed, he had long ago destroyed many of the vast secret realms within the desolate region. Not to mention those spanning millions of miles, he destroyed even those spanning hundreds of thousands of miles.
You could say that.
The desolate region of today is no longer like it used to be, where even a god-king or god-lord could find a secret realm and secretly undergo tribulation within it.
Many of the secret realms that exist today, destroyed by the strange young man, have either formed into more and smaller secret realms, or have completely merged with the desolate region.
Even the Heavenly Transformation Wasteland, except for the area around the Spirit Dao Palace, was shattered by him.
It also cannot accommodate other deities undergoing tribulation.
He looked at Lu Tao from afar with some surprise and suspicion, "I have investigated carefully, and there are no methods left by you in the Desolate Region. How could you know about this? Could it be... that is your ability to foresee the future?"
"It seems you know me quite well."
Lu Tao nodded slightly, then looked at the strange young man with a half-smile and said, "Since you know that I am proficient in divination, and that I dare to undergo tribulation openly in front of you, then... do you still dare to attack me?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the strange young man couldn't help but frown.
Looking at the smile on Lu Tao's face, his anger surged, and he wished he could tear it to shreds.
The strange young man was thinking rapidly in his mind.
If he were to attack Lu Tao, as Lu Tao himself said, Lu Tao would be skilled in divination, yet he would not hide from him and would undergo his tribulation right under his nose.
Combined with the warning just now, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be Lu Tao's meticulously planned scheme.
But if they don't take action against Lu Tao, they'll be missing a golden opportunity.
Now that Lu Tao is undergoing his tribulation, no matter how terrifying his talent is, under the restraint of the tribulation, this is the time when Lu Tao's strength is at its weakest, and it is also the best opportunity for him to kill Lu Tao.
Once missed...
Lu Tao was able to advance to the God King realm. If he returned to the lower realm to cultivate, with his terrifying cultivation speed, he would be able to reach the God King perfection in no time at all.
With Lu Tao's terrifying comprehension, he will surely be able to quickly and thoroughly understand each and every rule.
Although he doesn't care about simple rules, if there are too many or too terrifying rules, even with his strength, he can't withstand them.
For a moment, the strange young man was filled with inner turmoil.
But soon.
The strange young man chuckled, "Heh, I never expected that a mere Divine Lord could make me hesitate like this. Lu Tao, even if you perish under the Heavenly Tribulation today, you still have reason to be proud!"
"Tch, just a God Emperor, acting like he's some kind of powerful figure."
Lu Tao smiled dismissively, seemingly not taking the strange young man seriously at all.
then.
Lu Tao smiled and kindly reminded you, "Don't blame me for not warning you. If you make a move today, you will surely perish."
Fallen!
Upon hearing those two words, the strange young man's heart skipped a beat. Then, as if realizing something, he chuckled and said, "Lu Tao, the more you act like this, the more it shows that you're guilty. Are you afraid of my taking action?"
"You're right, then I'll stop talking."
Lu Tao shrugged, and after saying that, he ignored the strange young man and focused intently on the heavenly tribulation.
"you……"
Upon seeing this, the strange young man was momentarily stunned.
Lu Tao's expression inflamed his anger, and the determination he had finally made began to waver once again.
A strong person like him should not be so hesitant when doing things.
But he was facing Lu Tao, a being who had comprehended the Chaos Domain at the Heavenly God Realm and had cultivated to the Perfection of the Divine Lord Realm in a very short time.
He even cultivated the Chaos Realm to perfection.
How could he dare to be careless in the face of such a monstrous talent?
Faced with Lu Tao's seemingly simple psychological attack, the strange youth seemed to have had his divine emperor cultivation stripped away, and his heart was unable to remain calm.
The eerie young man stared intently at Lu Tao, while secretly scanning the surroundings with his immense divine soul power.
He absolutely did not believe that Lu Tao, with his cultivation level as a Divine Lord, would dare to face him alone.
Lu Tao must have other help.
Just like what happened at the Ascension Pool before, that kind of terrifying attack was definitely not something Lu Tao could have launched.
What made him look grim was that he had not found any other powerful figures in the entire Tianzhou region.
Sudden.
The strange-looking youth seemed to realize something, and asked with a strange expression, "Lu Tao, you wouldn't be thinking of hiding in a minor world to escape while I'm interfering, would you? Is this an attempt?"
But Lu Tao completely ignored his question.
Upon seeing this, the strange young man was not angry at all; instead, he became even more certain of his guess.
He laughed and said, "I would love to see you do that."
Lu Tao remained silent, completely ignoring him.
The strange young man wasn't angry; he quietly waited for the heavenly tribulation to descend.
Boom!
Finally, the first bolt of lightning, which had been brewing for some time, struck.
Sensing the power of the thunder, the strange young man did not make a move.
He also knew that even if he intervened, this mere bolt of lightning would not cause Lu Tao any harm.
He had to make his move when the Heavenly Tribulation was at its most terrifying, and work together with the Heavenly Tribulation to kill Lu Tao.
Boom!
One bolt of lightning after another struck Lu Tao, continuously tempering his physical body and making him even stronger.
As Lu Tao's physical body improved, the smile on the strange young man's face gradually faded.
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Tao has already survived ninety heavenly tribulations.
During this time, the strange young man did not make a move.
until……
When the ninety-first bolt of chaotic lightning descended, the strange young man knew that his opportunity had arrived.
Boom!
As the chaotic lightning descended, the strange youth decisively chose to attack, unleashing the rules of fire and, with the support of the world's power, striking towards Lu Tao.
But suddenly...
The moment the strange young man made his move, his expression changed drastically.
"puff!"
At that moment, the strange young man had no time to react before he was attacked inexplicably, and his aura became chaotic.
Not only was his face pale and bloodless, but he also vomited a mouthful of blood.
"impossible!!!"
The eerie young man cried out in alarm, then fell silent, frantically unleashing his various abilities to combat the terrifying, chilling curse power within him...
