"No--"
The gray dragon let out a furious roar of resentment.
It is an avatar of the demon god, and it has entered the secret realm with an important mission.
It's not just about obtaining the Divine Altar Secret Realm; there are other tasks as well.
It guessed that the secret realm must have been refined by Lu Tao, and wanted to kill Lu Tao to lure out the gray bead for refinement, thus preventing Lu Tao from self-destructing the secret realm.
But.
It accomplished nothing and died before it could even begin.
Crunch, crunch—
The Soul-Seizing Pearl devoured the gray dragon, and Shan Yu frantically consumed the gray dragon's consciousness, emitting a series of chilling tearing sounds and the gray dragon's miserable cries.
Lu Tao frowned slightly as he listened to these sounds.
After storing the Soul-Capturing Pearl in a spatial ring, Lu Tao cleaned up the battlefield, collecting half of the gray dragon's body, as well as the ice pearl, fireball, and other items, all of which were stored in the system space.
then.
Lu Tao picked up a spatial bead, one of the gray dragon's spatial treasures, glanced at it, and then threw it into his cave.
Lu Tao transmitted his voice, "Shuang'er, sort through the things in here and see if there's anything important."
"Okay, Brother Lu."
Lu Tao scanned the battlefield with his divine sense.
All I could see was...
With the help of a third-tier array plate and a third-tier puppet, Su Peng was like a god of death, frantically reaping the lives of demonic beasts.
Kong Xin was even more exaggerated.
She simply placed the safe house on the spot, allowing it to spread out and cover an area of dozens of miles.
Control the trapping formation in the safe house and continuously annihilate the monsters.
In just a short while, the two of them killed more than two hundred monsters.
As for the others...
Comparatively speaking, their strength and equipment are much weaker.
Even with over seven hundred people combined, they only managed to kill a hundred demonic beasts.
even.
Several others had their physical bodies shattered, with only their consciousness remaining, which was then captured, rendering them powerless.
More than a dozen others were seriously injured and were also unable to fight.
This is still without all the demonic beasts being mobilized; most of them are currently breaking through to higher realms.
but.
The three Martial King clones were quite powerful. Although they were only at the early and middle stages of the Innate Realm, the three of them killed more than two hundred demonic beasts together.
visible.
How much does a Heavenly Rank martial skill enhance one's strength?
"Roar, kid, where is my clan's demon god?"
at this time.
Seeing that Lu Tao had put away the formation, but not seeing the gray dragon, the demonic beasts that had been attacking the formation felt something was wrong.
"I will take you to meet it."
Lu Tao smiled faintly.
immediately.
Then, tiny, needle-like shadows shot out from Lu Tao's hand, transforming into barely visible rays of light that instantly shot out in all directions.
Puff puff puff—
Upgraded to fourth-tier low-grade chopsticks, their power is incomparable to what it was before.
Under Lu Tao's powerful control of his divine sense, inner energy, and essence, these chopsticks precisely pierced the eyes, ears, and abdomens of the demonic beasts...
As the chopsticks passed through the body.
These monsters all fell one after another.
In the blink of an eye.
Hundreds of demonic beasts died instantly, most of them having their divine consciousness shattered.
The entire battlefield fell silent abruptly.
Then, a huge uproar erupted.
"hiss……"
"Holy crap, that's strong?"
"What kind of hidden weapon is this? It doesn't look like a needle, but it does resemble chopsticks more."
The scene before them was astonishing.
It only took a few breaths.
The casualties Lu Tao inflicted on the demon beasts were several times greater than those of their seven hundred-plus members.
That's absolutely terrifying.
"How perverted."
Some people who didn't know much about Lu Tao before were now staring wide-eyed.
He couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Roar! Kill him!"
"Swallow him!"
"Eat them!"
The demon beasts were equally shocked, but then those that had broken through and advanced to the Grandmaster realm charged towards Lu Tao and the others.
"A swift and decisive victory!"
Lu Tao didn't stop for a moment, continuing to control the chopsticks and slaughter other monsters that hadn't yet broken through.
Pfft—
On the battlefield, the soft, smacking sounds were constant, though faint, they seemed like the whispers of death. Every time one sounded, a monster would be slain.
Such a horrifying scene.
Even the most dim-witted monsters couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle and fled in panic.
pity.
How could they possibly outrun Lu Tao?
In the blink of an eye, hundreds more monsters were harvested.
Lu Tao remained calm about this.
Previously, when he was only at the early stage of the Innate Realm, he was able to harvest so many ferocious beasts on the outskirts of the secret realm. Now, he is already at the Grandmaster Realm, and even demonic beasts will suffer the same fate under his attacks.
"Boy, don't be so insolent!"
Dozens of demonic beasts that had broken through to the Grandmaster realm flew close and pounced on Lu Tao, trying to stop his slaughter.
roar--
Awooo—
Various demonic beasts, such as the Flaming Tiger, the Red-backed Bear, and the Blood Demon Elephant, were enormous, each at least ten feet tall, resembling small mountains, as they nimbly attacked Lu Tao.
"Falling Moon Slash!"
Lu Tao remained calm and casually unleashed a Heaven-Rank sword technique, Falling Moon Slash.
A crescent moon floated across the sky, vanishing in an instant.
puff--
Then, the red-backed bear at the forefront charged towards Lu Tao with its lower body and limbs still running wildly, but its upper body, propelled by inertia, fell directly to the ground after passing two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters).
Almost simultaneously.
The redback bear's lower body suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.
It died.
Not only was his physical body cleaved in two with a single strike, but even his divine consciousness was shredded in that instant.
"Waaah..."
"No……"
Not only the Redback Bear, but also the Flaming Tiger, Blood Demon Elephant, and others are all like this.
Dozens of demonic beasts at the Grandmaster level perished under Lu Tao's single strike.
This scene.
This was even more terrifying than Lu Tao's previous slaughter of innate demonic beasts.
"Awooo, humans are too strong, retreat!"
"Roar! All demons, run!"
"This person is too strong. Run! Wait for other strong people to come in before killing him."
All the demonic beasts, whether at the Innate Realm or the Grandmaster Realm, were terrified at this moment and fled in a frenzy.
"What does it mean that other powerful individuals have come in?"
"Are there other demon races that can get in?"
Hearing the demons' shouts, Han Yi and the others were stunned and subconsciously looked at Lu Tao.
"After the fusion of the secret realms, not only are the cultivation restrictions lowered, allowing even Grandmasters to enter, but the number of places available for entering the secret realms has also increased."
Lu Tao temporarily stopped his pursuit of the demonic beasts and said in a deep voice, "Previously, our secret realm could admit six thousand people at the Innate Realm, and now we can admit another three thousand. Anyone below the Divine Platform Realm is welcome."
Lu Tao received this message the instant the two secret realms completely merged.
However, he was powerless to stop it.
"What? Even Grandmaster-level demonic beasts can get in?"
"It's over. The demon and monster races were prepared long ago. They must have prepared a large number of demons at the entrance of the secret realm, just waiting for the secret realm to merge."
"I knew absolutely nothing about this. There are very few Grandmasters who could get in."
Everyone who heard this was horrified.
Lu Tao can handle demonic beasts at the Innate Realm.
But can Lu Tao kill three thousand demonic beasts who have reached the Grandmaster level?
Although Grandmasters can also enter, the entrance to the secret realm is only open for a limited time. By the time Grandmasters find out this, there won't be enough time to organize many people to enter.
and--
"Right now, only two secret realms have merged. What if three merge together...?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
They all thought of that.
With the merging of the three secret realms, the cultivation restrictions should loosen again, and those who enter will be at the peak of the Divine Platform.
The thought of this filled everyone with fear.
Shen Jin went even further, saying, "Brother Lu, let's escape. Let the secret realm self-destruct, and we'll escape through the spatial interlayer."
Upon hearing this, Lu Tao fell silent.
"Lu Tao?" Zhao Miaotong called out when she saw Lu Tao remain silent.
"Have you considered what the consequences would be if, as we suspect, someone at the peak of the Divine Platform realm could enter the secret realm?"
Lu Tao took a deep breath and said, "My concern now is that even if I cause the secret realm to self-destruct, will the demon and monster races still be able to enter and fight from here? Once so many Divine Platform Perfection experts enter and fight—"
Lu Tao didn't finish his sentence.
But everyone understood what Lu Tao meant.
The demon and monster races, and the two secret realms combined, have at least a thousand, if not more, people who can enter at the Divine Platform Perfection stage.
If so many divine altars reach perfection and enter Yongkang Prefecture to engage in large-scale operations, the consequences will be unimaginable.
not to mention.
Since the demon and monster races had been planning this for over twenty years.
Who knows how many of these perfected Divine Platforms will be able to break through to become Martial Kings the moment they enter the Great Struggle?
10%? 30%? 50%? or 70%?
Nobody knows.
Even if it's only 10%, that's still over a hundred Martial King level experts.
With so many demon kings and monsters wreaking havoc, coupled with the restraint from the demon and monster races' martial god-level experts in the Outer Heavens, the situation is dire—
Yongkang Prefecture is in grave danger, and Daqian is in grave danger.
Obviously.
Besides vying for the Divine Platform Secret Realm, the demon and monster races also want to annihilate Daqian.
so.
"No rush. It will take the demons' secret realm about two hours to get here. Let me figure this out first, and besides—"
Lu Tao glanced at the demon race's divine platform that was so close at hand, and pondered, "The demon race's secret realm is right in front of me. I... can try to refine it and then use the secret realm to escape."
Lu Tao was able to use the gray bead to draw out the core of the secret realm within the demon race's divine altar space, and thus refine it.
now.
The two secret realms have been completely merged.
If we refine them, the merged secret realm should be faster than the demon race in the spatial interlayer, right?
"But we need to kill all these demon insects first."
Lu Tao glanced at everyone and instructed, "You all go together, take my puppets, array plates, and other items, and go hunt down those previous demonic beasts. I'll go kill those Grandmaster-level demonic beasts."
As they were talking.
Lu Tao immediately took out a fourth-tier bow and arrow, nocked an arrow, and shot it at the fleeing Grandmaster-level demon beast.
call out--
The arrow streaked across the sky like a meteor, arriving in an instant. With a series of soft thuds, it pierced directly into the monster's head, passing right through its brain.
"Hurry... Help!"
"Why is he so strong?"
"Escape separately, head towards the outer edge of the secret realm, and seek help from other seniors."
Boom boom boom—
Thousands of demonic beasts scattered and fled, but as they fled, one after another, their mountain-like bodies fell to the ground.
Ten heads, a hundred heads, a thousand heads...
"Gentlemen, kill the enemy!"
"I'd rather die than regret it!"
The three Martial King clones glanced at the crowd and followed closely behind Lu Tao, frantically chasing down the other demonic beasts.
The three of them had long been controlled by Shan Yu and could no longer merge with their master's body; they had already resolved to die.
at this time.
The fusion of the secret realms ignited the three's passion, making them eager to engage in a thorough slaughter.
"kill!"
Kong Xin, Han Yi, Zhao Miaotong, Mu Yihan, Shen Jin, and the others all took to the air without hesitation, chasing after the demonic beast...
