A month ago, news came from the lower realm that seven hundred true dragons had appeared there.
Like Ao Xin and other celestial beings, the True Dragon Clan also speculated that the appearance of these True Dragons was probably due to the secret realm.
But now it seems that this may not be the case.
No matter how powerful the secret realm is, it can only create geniuses, but it cannot give people the ability to kill Ao Xin when they are of a higher level.
Ao Xin's death was most likely due to Lu Tao, so the previous guesses were not very accurate.
The existence that could kill Ao Xin despite being of a higher level, and who could also create seven hundred true dragons and seven hundred pseudo-marrow-refining human prodigies, made Ao Chen very interested in his identity.
Ao Chen didn't believe that Lu Tao was a prodigy like other geniuses.
Whether it's Lu Tao, or the seven hundred true dragons and seven hundred disciples, their aptitude, comprehension, and bloodline can all be barely explained by the heaven-defying abilities of the secret realm.
However, their combat strength is insufficient.
Lu Tao, with only the Martial God realm, was able to defeat a Heavenly God and kill Ao Xin, who was a whole realm higher. This is truly terrifying.
In particular, judging from the news that came through, Lu Tao does not seem to have completed the Marrow Refinement stage; he is merely a pseudo-Marrow Refinement cultivator.
To kill Ao Xin with such cultivation level, one can imagine how powerful the cultivation technique Lu Tao practiced must be.
certainly.
It cannot be ruled out that Lu Tao possesses an extremely powerful artifact, perhaps even one surpassing the level of a celestial being.
However, given the barrenness of the lower realm, the mere existence of a divine artifact is already extraordinary, let alone an artifact of a higher level.
Moreover, even if one possesses a more powerful artifact, without better cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities, one cannot control it, so how could one kill Ao Xin?
Therefore.
At this moment, Ao Chen had a bold guess in his mind.
Lu Tao is probably not a being reincarnated normally, but rather the reincarnation of a powerful being from the divine realm. This powerful being's cultivation level is currently low, essentially a stranded dragon.
Or perhaps, Lu Tao obtained some kind of inheritance from the secret realm after the divine platform was unified.
This made Ao Chen's mind race.
This is an opportunity, a tremendous stroke of luck.
If successful, and they obtain Lu Tao's cultivation techniques and other secrets, the True Dragon Clan could very well rise to prominence, leave the remote wilderness, and venture into other domains.
They may even eventually become powerful figures in the realm of gods.
And naturally, it can also break through the God-King realm and advance to a higher level.
However, the risks are also very high.
If they fail, Lu Tao will surely hold a grudge against the True Dragon Clan.
Given Lu Tao's cultivation speed, he will definitely be able to ascend to the Desolate Realm of Gods in no time. At that time, even if Lu Tao only has the cultivation of a Heavenly God, his strength will probably be extremely powerful.
If Lu Tao cannot be killed, and he rises to power, the True Dragon Clan will face annihilation.
but.
The True Dragon Clan has sent powerful figures down to the mortal realm twice in a row, which has already offended Lu Tao to the point of no return.
Therefore.
At this point, there was almost no room for reconciliation between them and Lu Tao.
They have been taking advantage of Lu Tao's weakness to send gods down to the mortal realm to oppress him and try to seize everything from him. Even if Lu Tao is a reincarnation of a great being with a broad mind, how can such hatred be easily resolved?
Since that's the case, then we might as well go all the way and kill Lu Tao before his cultivation has recovered.
Thinking of this.
Ao Chen made a decision instantly, raised his eyes to look at a true dragon in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Third Elder, you should immediately send your clone to the lower realm to kill Lu Tao and bring back everything about Lu Tao, including his soul."
These words immediately caused a stir in the previously quiet Dragon Palace.
The third elder of the True Dragon Clan is named Ao Bo, a four-clawed white dragon and a God-King level expert. Although his aptitude is not very good and he is only a pseudo-Marrow Refinement cultivator, he has extremely high comprehension and has comprehended many powerful divine abilities.
Among them, there is the cultivation of a powerful split soul.
Furthermore, its divided soul possessed a python with extremely high aptitude, eventually transforming into a dragon, and its cultivation level has long since advanced from a celestial god to a divine lord.
Rumor has it that the Third Elder plans to wait until his clone reaches the God King realm before merging the clone's soul with his original body, allowing the clone to take over.
But now.
The clan leader sent the Third Elder's clone down to the mortal realm to kill Lu Tao, clearly because the clan leader believed that Lu Tao possessed an immense opportunity, an opportunity even more important than the clone on which the Third Elder placed high hopes.
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder Ao Bo hesitated for a moment, then said after a brief moment of thought, "Clan leader, let my true form descend to the lower realm. I will reduce my cultivation level to the Divine Lord realm."
Whoosh—
The Third Elder's words immediately caused an uproar among the powerful members of the True Dragon Clan.
The Desolate Realm of Gods is relatively remote, and it is already extremely difficult to cultivate to the God King realm. Especially for someone like the Third Elder, whose aptitude is not particularly high, cultivating to the God King realm requires countless resources.
But now it would rather abandon its original body than lose its clone that has undergone the Marrow Refinement stage.
On the one hand, this shows how much it values its clones; but on the other hand, it also shows that it is worried.
He was worried that his clone would perish after descending to the lower realm.
Then all its efforts over the years will be in vain.
Upon hearing this, Ao Chen glanced at the Third Elder with a hint of dissatisfaction in his heart.
At this critical moment, the Third Elder was still thinking about his clone and was unwilling to take any risks.
But Ao Chen also understood how much effort the Third Elder had put into his clones over the years. After pondering for a moment, Ao Chen finally nodded and said, "Alright, let's go prepare immediately."
The Third Elder had reduced the God King realm to the God Monarch realm, so his foundation was undoubtedly more profound. Compared to his clone, although he lacked the boost from the Marrow Refining technique, his strength was almost the same.
The impact is minimal.
"Yes, Chieftain!"
Ao Bo immediately accepted the order and flew out of the main hall.
Ao Chen then instructed another true dragon, "Second Elder, go and open a spatial passage for the Third Elder. Be careful."
To descend to the lower realm, besides finding a special spatial node, a powerful individual is needed to open a spatial passage.
and.
When a spatial passage to the lower realm is opened and a powerful being descends to the lower realm, that powerful being who opened the space must bear the punishment brought about by the surging will of the lower realm's heaven and earth.
This punishment is extremely powerful; the higher the cultivation level of the powerful being in the lower realm, the stronger the punishment.
Ao Bo descended to the mortal realm with the cultivation of a perfected Divine Lord. Even though the Second Elder is a powerful Divine King, he still needs to be careful. If he is even slightly careless, the consequences will be far more serious than just getting injured.
same.
As a being from the lower realm, the Third Elder Ao Bo would also suffer punishment from the will of heaven and earth in the spatial passage, usually by being struck by heavenly lightning. However, since his cultivation was too strong, it would probably be more than just heavenly lightning.
Sudden.
As if struck by a thought, Ao Chen added, "Let's change to another spatial node."
"Yes, Chieftain!"
The second elder accepted the order and left.
"Alas, if only we had known this would happen, we should have sent the Third Elder down to the mortal realm a month ago."
Watching the Second Elder and Third Elder leave one after another, Ao Chen, the patriarch of the True Dragon Clan, couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
One month ago.
The news that Lu Tao had created seven hundred true dragons reached the Desolate Region of the God Realm, causing a stir among the various races there.
Although the various tribes have already attached great importance to it, it still seems insufficient.
The reason is that since the secret realm can create true dragons, and Lu Tao created seven hundred true dragons and seven hundred outstanding disciples at once, the energy of the secret realm has probably been exhausted.
Otherwise, with so many pythons and dragons in the lower realm, why would they only create a mere seven hundred true dragons and seven hundred disciples?
Therefore.
At that time, almost all the races sent early-stage Divine Lord level experts down to the mortal realm.
They did not send anyone with too high a cultivation level to the lower realms.
"Hopefully nothing unexpected happens."
With a multitude of thoughts swirling in his mind, Ao Chen silently prayed.
This matter concerns whether the True Dragon Clan can rise to power and whether it can reach greater heights. Even though Ao Chen is already a God-King at the peak of his cultivation, he can't help but feel a little nervous.
Just then, Ao Chen received a message from the Black Cat Clan Chief, informing him of the death of one of his clan's disciples in the lower realm.
Ao Chen was not surprised by this.
The Black Cat Clan has always been close to the True Dragon Clan, and it was the Black Cat Clan who informed the True Dragon Clan about the matter of the secret realm and the True Dragons.
It's normal for Ao Xin to bring a black cat with him when he takes action.
It's obvious.
Ao Xin, with his formidable strength, was the first to find Ganyu Continent, but he was also the first to be killed.
As for the other celestial beings in the lower realms...
Thinking of this, Ao Chen immediately sent messages to the patriarchs of other clans and received replies that their clans' gods were not acting strangely.
In response to this.
Ao Chen felt no resentment. He then informed the various clans of Ao Xin's death, instructing them to contact the clans in the lower realms and spread the word about Lu Tao's power.
This serves as a warning to the other gods, and also to the powerful races of the second batch who descended to the lower realms, lest they rashly attack the Ganyu Continent without the gods' knowledge and lose their lives in vain.
Immediately afterwards.
Ao Chen discussed with the various clans and prepared to unite them to guard the various ascension pools in the desolate region, in order to prevent Lu Tao from secretly ascending to the God Realm and hiding away.
It worried that Lu Tao was cultivating too fast, and that he would ascend to the God Realm before Ao Bo even arrived in the lower realm.
It didn't believe that Lu Tao would stay in the lower realm to protect those insignificant human beings.
No great being is merciful; they can easily discard mere ants, even if they number in the billions.
——
"As expected of a god, he is truly wealthy."
Inside the cave, Lu Tao quickly organized the spatial treasures of the three celestial gods, reaping considerable rewards.
Not only did they obtain a cave dwelling of considerable quality, but they also acquired many high-level materials.
There are dozens of pieces of first-grade materials among them.
What pleased Lu Tao the most was that some of the materials were of a higher grade, clearly intended for forging divine artifacts.
However, Lu Tao had no such intention. He planned to continue crafting it into a low-level item and then gradually upgrade it to a divine artifact, making its power far surpass that of a divine artifact, or even a celestial artifact.
also.
Lu Tao also acquired many cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, as well as elixirs and divine stones.
Divine Stones are an advanced version of Yuan Stones, containing rich divine energy. When Lu Tao tried to cultivate with low-grade divine stones, the effect was even better than that of top-grade spiritual veins.
As for mid-grade divine stones, those are naturally even better.
This delighted the mainland.
The only regret is that there aren't many mid-grade divine stones, nor are there any high-grade divine stones.
Next, Lu Tao instructed his clone to refine other items and observe the acquired cultivation techniques and martial arts skills, while he himself immersed himself in cultivation once again.
Not long after, Shan Yu's voice rang out.
"Master, I have absorbed all of Ao Xin's memories!"
