Buzz—
The three secret realms have begun to merge.
Lu Tao, who was invisible, quietly peered inside through the portal at the point of fusion.
However, no demons were found.
"They're really cautious."
Lu Tao was somewhat disappointed, but he had to admit that the Demon Clan's choice was correct.
They guessed that something must have happened after the two secret realms merged, which is why they did not gather in front of the altar.
Even though it wouldn't take long for all the Grandmaster and Divine Platform level experts to descend upon the secret realm after its fusion, they didn't risk showing themselves.
"But do you think you can escape my pursuit like this?"
Lu Tao sneered, and then, with He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming, quietly flew towards the Demon Clan's secret realm.
After entering the secret realm, Lu Tao did not use his divine sense to scan the area, but instead used a telescope to observe the figures of the demons.
“These aren’t it, these few aren’t it either, this one… wait, I can’t even see through this demon’s physical body, it must be a guy from the Demon Refining Secret Realm.”
Lu Tao checked them one by one and found a demon hiding far away on the outskirts of the secret realm. Around him, like the other demons, there were only a few demonic beasts gathered.
They appear no different from ordinary demons.
Even if he were discovered, no one could tell his identity or distinguish him from others.
Unfortunately, under the telescope, Lu Tao had already seen through his special nature.
Like Ao Cang of the demon race before, this demon's body was exceptionally powerful, reaching the level of a second-tier item, which even a telescope could not penetrate.
"Since we're not all together, I'm fine on my own."
Lu Tao thought for a moment and then instructed, "Shuang'er, Xiaoming, you two go and challenge the Demon Clan's Divine Platform to improve your divine sense."
After saying that, Lu Tao flew away from the demon island and entered the sea.
There is a no-fly zone here.
Lu Tao had anticipated this.
Lu Tao took out a newly crafted shuttle-shaped boat and rushed towards the demon god Fan Miao's clone with lightning speed.
Its speed is even faster than that of a powerful expert on the Divine Platform.
——
On the other side.
Fan Miao's clone appeared calm, but was actually very nervous inside.
Just now, at the moment the secret realm merged, he secretly contacted Ao Cang's clone, but the result shocked him. The communication mark left by Ao Cang's clone had collapsed directly.
This means that Ao Cang's clone is dead.
"Humans are actually this powerful? Able to kill Ao Cang's clone?"
Fan Miao was shocked.
He was well aware of the power of Ao Cang's clone, especially after the fusion with the secret realm, which allowed him to instantly raise his cultivation to the Grandmaster Perfection realm. With such strength, what could those people in the human race's secret realm compare to?
Even a genius who has mastered the Marrow Refining technique, after advancing to Grandmaster and wielding a Heaven-rank martial skill, cannot kill Ao Cang's clone.
But unfortunately, Ao Cang's clone died.
This made him feel a strong sense of crisis, and he was glad that he had been cautious before.
Fortunately, he chose to stay far away and hide on the outskirts of the secret realm. Otherwise, with the secret realm merging now, his fate would probably be the same as Ao Cang's clone.
"The integration should be faster!"
Fan Miao prayed silently.
At this moment, Fan Miao felt an unbearable torment, as if each day was an eternity, a feeling she hadn't experienced in many years.
Fan Miao felt a little unreal and somewhat frustrated.
Both races originally planned to conquer the secret realm, but Ao Cang died first, and it is likely that the demon race has also lost its secret realm.
The thought of this made Fan Miao feel uneasy.
The secret realm was extremely important, so both races were very careful. Since the divine artifacts could not enter the secret realm, both races refined his and Ao Cang's clones into second-tier items.
Who would have thought that such a powerful physical body could be killed by a powerful cultivator.
Fan Miao panicked.
"Almost there, almost there, I'll soon be able to advance my cultivation to the Great Demon Perfection level."
The Great Demon is in the same realm as the Great Demon and the Grandmaster. The fusion of the secret realm is very fast. As long as he fused for a while longer, he felt that he could advance from the Perfect Demon Spirit to the Perfect Great Demon.
In a short while, it may even be possible to directly advance to the peak of the Divine Platform.
With such strength, it's impossible for them to be killed by someone who's really good at fighting, right?
Even if Da Gan has the combat power to kill opponents of higher ranks, he cannot advance from the early stage of Grandmaster to the perfect stage of Divine Platform in a short period of time. He does not believe that Da Gan has the same preparations as the demon race.
Therefore, when the divine altars of the demon and monster races descend, their plans can still be realized.
Time passed anxiously as Fan Miao waited. With the moment when he could improve his cultivation getting closer and closer, Fan Miao was filled with excitement.
But suddenly—
Buzz!
The void trembled, and without a sound, powerful freezing forces suddenly appeared around him, blocking all his escape routes.
then--
A hissing sound was heard.
Hundreds of fireballs appeared all around him, engulfing him like a tidal wave.
"Damn humans!"
Fan Miao reacted swiftly, instantly activating the array within his body.
With a buzzing sound.
A powerful defensive array appeared, spreading out from Fan Miao's body and instantly enveloping him completely.
That turned out to be a second-tier defensive formation.
"Interesting. Is this using the physical body as material to set up an array on it?"
Lu Tao looked surprised.
He had previously observed Fan Miao from a distance using binoculars and noticed some abnormalities in his body. Therefore, he did not dare to be careless and attacked with all his might to kill him, giving him no chance to escape.
Unexpectedly, it wasn't anything else, but a formation, set up on the body.
This surprised Lu Tao.
Lu Tao laughed and said, "The Demon Clan's altar is really impressive. It enhances talents in certain areas that one is already good at, and the formations on the physical body are quite eye-opening."
Lu Tao thought so.
The demon god's avatar before us must have improved his talent in formations many years ago.
"However, a mere second-tier formation is not enough."
Lu Tao smiled faintly and activated the fireball with all his might, frantically burning the second-tier defensive formation.
hiss—
In just a moment, the formation began to crack under the strain.
"How is that possible?"
Fan Miao's eyes widened, and he only had time to let out an incredulous cry before he was swarmed by hundreds of fireballs. In the blink of an eye, his physical body was burned to nothingness.
Only a wisp of divine consciousness remained, floating somewhat bewildered in mid-air. Beside it, a gray bead and a perfectly intact storage ring were present.
"Who are you? How do you have so many strange flames?" Fan Miao looked at Lu Tao in shock, wanting an answer.
pity.
Lu Tao, who had no habit of revealing his background, directly took out the Soul-Seizing Pearl and let Shan Yu devour Fan Miao.
He could learn many secrets from the memories of a avatar of this martial god level.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Fan Miao snorted coldly in resentment, and then made the same choice as Ao Cang, directly detonating his divine consciousness.
However, his fate was the same as Ao Cang's: he was suppressed by Lu Tao and then devoured by the Soul-Seizing Pearl.
call out--
Fan Miao was killed, and the gray bead instantly flew back to the divine platform space at an extremely fast speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Unable to stop him, Lu Tao directly sent a message to Kong Xin, instructing her to quickly summon the bead, imprint it with her divine soul mark, and begin refining it.
then.
After putting away his storage ring and casually killing several other nearby magical beasts, Lu Tao returned to the altar without lingering for a moment.
Soon, Lu Tao returned to the altar.
After glancing at Kong Xin, who was continuously casting hand seals at the gray bead, and He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming, who were tempering their divine senses, Lu Tao also began to climb the Demon Clan's divine platform, challenging, tempering, and improving himself...
The main purpose of the Demon Clan's altar is to temper divine sense and soul, and enhance talents in their areas of expertise.
Now, there is still some time before the three secret realms are fully integrated. Lu Tao and his two companions need to use this time to temper their divine senses through the divine platform.
Increase the strength of your spiritual sense, and also improve your own strength.
Prepare for the upcoming big battle.
Like the other two altars, this altar is for challenging and then tempering.
Each level you overcome allows you to refine your divine sense and double its strength, which is incredible.
Please be aware.
Lu Tao and the other two had all started their cultivation through the Marrow Refining stage and had even used the Soul Refining Fish for training. Their divine sense was already stronger than that of others at the same level, and after further tempering, it would undoubtedly become even stronger.
It not only enhances the strength of one's spiritual sense, but also improves one's talents in areas where one excels.
"Huh, I'm good at kendo?"
After just one tempering session, Lu Tao vaguely sensed that his talent in swordsmanship seemed to have doubled. Lu Tao subconsciously complained, "So, even the original owner of this body went astray in martial arts?"
However, after a moment's thought, Lu Tao couldn't determine whether his predecessor had gone to the wrong place.
After all, he is who he is, and his predecessor is his predecessor.
Of course, that's not important.
He has a system; he is proficient in all styles of swordsmanship, whether it's the way of the knife, the way of the sword, or even the way of the spear or the way of the staff. There is no difference between them.
Lu Tao continued.
The tempering process is complete after two rounds...
The fusion of the three secret realms is sufficient for a Demon Grandmaster to descend to perfection.
Lu Tao paid no attention to this and continued to challenge the third level...
After being tempered four times in succession, the Demon God Platform was finally completed.
Lu Tao had to stop challenging the Divine Platform, while He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming had already reached the fifth level of tempering.
Looking at the progress of Kong Xin's soul imprint application, Lu Tao thought to himself, "The time should be just right."
"Shuang'er, Xiaoming, break through!"
Boom—
The next moment.
Before the altar, Lu Tao, He Yuanshuang, and Wu Ming sat cross-legged and frantically refined their internal energy.
The three of them were both talented enough and had a good understanding of the techniques.
Therefore.
Breaking through the bottleneck of the Grandmaster realm was effortless for the three of them; it was as natural as water flowing into a channel, and the three of them leaped from the Grandmaster realm.
"In what form will it condense?"
Lu Tao looked inward at his dantian and saw the thick, turbulent primordial energy, like a viscous liquid, churning wildly and waiting to solidify. He couldn't help but ponder.
When a grandmaster breaks through to the Divine Platform, the primordial energy within their dantian can be controlled by the master and condensed into any form.
Round, square, human-shaped, animal-shaped... anything is acceptable.
When one cultivates supernatural powers later, one can imprint those powers on the body. When releasing them, the supernatural powers will appear with a thought.
"Why don't we condense it into a book?"
Lu Tao made the final decision.
With a thought, the surging, thick primordial energy instantly collapsed and condensed inward, forming a milky-white book in just a few breaths.
From now on, I will call you Daoshu.
Lu Tao smiled with satisfaction, ignoring it, and then looked inward at his soul sea. With a thought, he said, "Condense!"
As if receiving a command, the soul power in the soul sea instantly gathered, and then gradually condensed into a small altar in the center of the hazy soul sea.
The altar is an equilateral triangle, only three inches in size, and is upside down. On the altar, Lu Tao's consciousness has transformed into a divine soul, which is very solid and has taken on a human form, sitting cross-legged.
Powerful fluctuations of divine soul energy emanated from his body.
At this moment, Lu Tao finally became a powerful expert on the Divine Platform.
"Now that the altar is erected, the King of Martial Arts and the God of Martial Arts will not be far off."
Lu Tao smiled inwardly and began to stabilize his cultivation...
"Sister Shuang'er and Xiao Ming, their cultivation speed is also so fast!"
Beside her, watching the three who had advanced, Kong Xin was shocked. She hadn't expected that He Yuanshuang and Wu Ming, like Lu Tao, could cultivate as easily as drinking water.
Then, Kong Xin looked on with envy.
Who wouldn't want that kind of cultivation speed?
In just a few days, he rose from the Refining Organs stage all the way to the Divine Platform stage. No one would believe it if they heard about it; it was simply too exaggerated.
While admiring her, Kong Xin continued to cast spells, constantly sending hand gestures toward the beads.
call--
Ten breaths later.
Lu Tao and the other two stabilized their cultivation and breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Kong Xin had just finished marking the mark.
Seeing this, Lu Tao immediately released the people from the cave and said, "Let's all help refine the secret realm together."
"good!"
Inside the safe house, more than two thousand people, including over a thousand innate masters, hundreds of grandmasters, and three divine platform masters, all unleashed their divine sense power to assist Kong Xin in refining the secret realm.
Previously, more than 800 innate beings refined the demon race's secret realm, completing the refinement in just half an hour.
Now, with so many people and even higher cultivation levels, the refining speed is naturally faster.
In just a few dozen breaths, the refining was successful.
The moment she finished refining it, Kong Xin excitedly looked at Lu Tao and said, "Brother Lu, can I take back the secret realm's spatial location within the demon and monster races? Do you want to take it back?"
"Of course we're taking it back! What are we waiting for?"
"Let's just take it back. Since the demon and monster races have treated my Da Gan this way, let's just rob their secret realm as compensation for my Da Gan."
"Exactly, is there even a need to consider this?"
Before Lu Tao could speak, the group of people began urging him on with great enthusiasm.
With the help of the demon and monster races, Shan Yu entered the Divine Platform Secret Realm and caused it to self-destruct, so that he would never be able to comprehend cultivation techniques of the lower-grade Earth level or higher again.
Such losses will reduce the number of strong members in the Great Rescue Association by a significant margin.
How could they not be angry?
Now that we have seized the secret realms of the demon and monster races, we must naturally reclaim our spatial location and redirect it to the Great Gan region to make up for the losses suffered by the Great Gan region.
Kong Xin ignored everyone else and just looked at Lu Tao, waiting for his decision.
She now understood why Lu Tao had told her she was more obedient before he asked her to refine the secret realm.
If it weren't her refining the secret realm, but someone from the royal family, they probably wouldn't have asked Lu Tao a single question and would have simply retracted their spatial location.
Although.
Even if it's retrieved, it can be relocated because there's a mark left, but it's very troublesome.
Seeing this, the others stopped talking and all looked at Lu Tao.
"There's no need to recall it for now."
Lu Tao glanced into the distance through his binoculars and saw a group of demon gods arriving by ship from the sea. He hurriedly said, "There's no time to explain. The enemy is here. The rest of you, get into the cave."
The group could only nod silently, knowing that time was of the essence, and were all taken into Lu Tao's cave.
"Xin'er, lift the no-fly restriction on the Demon Realm, then fly the plane to the outer edge of my Great Gan Realm, take the three beads, and hide them."
Lu Tao then handed over the megaphone, the newly refined No. 2 telescope, and the newly built No. 2 aircraft to Kong Xin, instructing her: "Also, use the telescope and megaphone to remind your father and the others to meet up with you."
"Okay, Brother Lu."
Kong Xin hurriedly took the three items, packed up the safe house, and boarded the plane directly. She didn't ask any more questions about her father; she could just send a message later.
At this moment, Lu Tao instructed Wu Ming again: "Xiao Ming, you protect Kong Xin in secret. If you encounter any demons or monsters at the Divine Platform Perfection stage, kill them with all your might."
"Yes, Brother Tao."
Wu Ming nodded emphatically and concealed himself once again.
The next instant, Kong Xin and Wu Ming disappeared from the island.
The aircraft that Lu Tao rebuilt used better materials than before and was faster, even faster than the Divine Platform Perfection.
With such a flight speed and Wu Ming's protection, Lu Tao felt relatively at ease.
In the blink of an eye, only Lu Tao and He Yuanshuang remained in front of the altar.
"Shuang'er, let's go."
"Okay, Brother Lu."
Lu Tao and his companion concealed themselves, leaped away from the altar, and met the Demon Clan's altar at its peak on the sea...
