Upon hearing this speculation, the powerful figures of both the demon and monster races hated Lu Tao even more.
But then I realized something was wrong.
If Lu Tao had such an opportunity and secret method long ago, why did he wait until now to bring it out for Da Gan to use?
If we had brought it out sooner, wouldn't it have allowed these eight people to break through to become Martial Gods sooner, which would have been a greater help to Da Gan, and Da Gan's current situation would definitely be better?
so--
These eight people's breakthroughs had nothing to do with Lu Tao?
Why is it such a coincidence that just as thirty Martial God level experts rushed to our aid, these eight people immediately broke through and survived the Martial God Tribulation?
This is too much of a coincidence.
They simply didn't believe it was a coincidence; there must be something they didn't know about it.
only.
No matter how they try to guess, they can't figure out the specific reason.
In conclusion.
Whatever the reason—whether it was the Great Struggle, Lu Tao, or the secret techniques and opportunities hidden by various overseas tribes that Lu Tao discovered—it's all pointless to discuss these things now.
The key now is how to withstand the massive attack.
They fought against more than two hundred martial gods, each of whom was almost fighting against multiple opponents and even had the upper hand.
"puff……"
"ah……"
"No……"
On the battlefield of the Outer Heavens, all the powerful figures of the Great Gan Dynasty stared coldly at the reinforcements attacking, their morale soaring. In a short time, they killed more than ten low-level Martial Gods.
All of this happened too fast.
"You bastards, you deserve to die!"
“Those nasty bugs, they’re just targeting us to kill.”
"Damn it, if only I had known..."
The foreign war gods all felt extremely frustrated, but there was nothing they could do.
Every martial god in the Great Gan is extremely powerful. Even if they are not members of the royal family, they almost all possess high-grade Heaven-rank martial skills, it's just a matter of how many.
Faced with such a powerful Martial God, the lower-level Martial Gods of the foreign races were simply unable to resist.
original.
For a martial god, killing someone of the same level is extremely difficult.
Especially when the strengths are evenly matched, it often takes months or years to determine a winner.
But.
When the difference in strength is too great, it is very easy to kill.
"cut!"
He faced a middle-aged martial god with a blank expression and unleashed a sword technique.
All I could see was...
A faint sword of primordial energy flew out from his dantian, appearing and disappearing at an extreme speed, traversing several miles in an instant, and appearing on the head of a lion with a golden body.
The golden lion was completely unaware.
At this moment, it is working together with several other martial gods to fight a martial god.
"careful!"
In the distance, a Martial God at the peak level sensed all of this and hurriedly spoke up to warn them.
But it was too late.
With a soft "poof".
The sword of vital energy fell silently, seemingly without any power, yet it instantly pierced through the top of the golden lion's head.
"roar……"
The enormous golden lion only had time to let out a defiant roar before collapsing into a pool of blood.
On its head, which was the size of a house, appeared a blood hole the size of a bucket.
It goes straight down from the top of the head to the chin.
Even a late-stage Martial God expert like him couldn't escape with his soul; he was killed by a single sword strike.
"kill!"
The Great Martial God, who was originally under siege, suddenly felt much less pressure and charged forward to chase down the other Martial Gods.
However, other martial gods quickly arrived and blocked his attack.
In a short time.
The Demon Alliance has suffered successive losses, forcing other powerful figures to rob Peter to pay Paul in order to fight back, and they seem to be struggling to keep up.
"Don't panic, everyone! We have a defensive artifact!"
Seeing this, the demon and monster races had no choice but to give away several defensive artifacts to other races so that they could withstand Da Gan's offensive.
that's all.
In the blink of an eye.
The balance of power shifts between offense and defense in the outer heavens.
but.
The demon and monster races were not panicked, as they had other reinforcements on their way.
If we persevere, we will win sooner or later.
But the key is to hold out until reinforcements arrive.
——
"Seventh Master, could you give me a Breakthrough Pill? Even though the chances are slim, I'd like to give it a try."
Within the secret realm.
After Ji Hao and the other eight martial gods flew away, just as everyone was about to leave, Gu Shengjie suddenly made this request to Seventh Master.
A second-tier low-grade breakthrough pill, judging solely from its grade, is indeed insufficient for a Martial King to achieve a perfect breakthrough to Martial God.
But.
Now, witnessed by everyone, Ji Hao and the other eight people all succeeded after taking the second-grade low-level breakthrough pills, with none of them failing.
The reason for this is...
It was certainly because they had visited Lu Tao's prayer statue.
But Gu Shengjie wondered if it was possible that the Breakthrough Pill itself was enough to allow a Martial King to break through to perfection?
Perhaps there's no need to pray at all to break through?
The reason Lu Tao made everyone pray and created such a scene was just because he was being pretentious, or perhaps he wanted everyone to owe him a favor.
After all, these are a total of eight Martial Gods, each of whom is incredibly powerful.
Their personal connections are incredibly important.
Moreover, it would improve the Daqian royal family's opinion of him, and if another Martial King reaches perfection in the future, they would also need to pay homage to the Immortal Sect, which would be another favor.
Therefore.
Gu Shengjie wanted to ask Seventh Master for a Breakthrough Pill so he could give it a try.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tao was not angry. He merely glanced at Gu Shengjie with a half-smile, seemingly unconcerned.
"well!"
Upon hearing this, Seventh Master sighed silently.
How could he not know what Gu Shengjie was thinking?
Seventh Master felt that Gu Shengjie, after suffering repeated setbacks at Lu Tao's hands, seemed to have lost his mind and was having such strange ideas.
Moreover, saying it in front of Lu Tao will only make their relationship more strained, or even worse.
Seventh Master glanced at Lu Tao, and seeing that Lu Tao didn't care at all, he knew what was going on. He looked at Gu Shengjie and said in a deep voice, "Do you know the value of a Breakthrough Pill?"
"..."
Gu Shengjie opened his mouth, then fell silent.
Yes, he knew all too well how valuable such a breakthrough pill, which could disregard factors such as inner demons, state of mind, and foundation, was.
However, he was very unwilling.
Are you just going to stand by and watch the other eight people break through to the Martial God realm, knowing full well where the gate to the Martial God realm is, yet choosing to refuse to enter?
and.
If the addition of these eight people allows Da Gan to annihilate the enemy, invade the demon and monster realms, and enter other planes, then how many good things will he miss out on?
Thinking of this, Gu Shengjie gritted his teeth and said, "Seventh Master, consider it as me buying it."
"Fine."
Seventh Master shook his head helplessly, took out a Breakthrough Pill, and handed it to Gu Shengjie.
Glug!
Gu Shengjie took the Breakthrough Pill and swallowed it without hesitation, then carefully sensed its effects.
result--
There was no response.
"how so?"
Gu Shengjie stared blankly at the sky, seeing no sign of an impending heavenly tribulation.
turn out to be.
Second-grade low-level breakthrough pills really cannot enable a Martial King to break through to the perfect realm and advance to Martial God.
The success of Ji Hao and the other eight in breaking through was truly due to the blessing of Lu Tao's prayer statue.
I'm still having doubts.
It was practically offering Lu Tao his face to slap.
This moment.
Gu Shengjie felt like a clown. Even though he was a Martial King at the peak of his cultivation, he couldn't help but blush and feel his face burning.
She felt even more uncomfortable under Lu Tao's ambiguous gaze.
Lu Tao smiled, not minding at all, and said to Kong Xin, Ji Zhiyuan and the others, "Let's go back to the Immortal Sect."
"etc!"
Just as Lu Tao and the others were about to leave, Gu Shengjie subconsciously interrupted them.
Lu Tao asked with a slightly somber expression, "What is it?"
Seventh Master frowned and scolded, "Gu Shengjie, what do you want to do?"
"Don't misunderstand, I..."
Gu Shengjie hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lu Tao and asked in a low voice, "I want to ask Sect Master Lu, can I still go to the Immortal Sect to worship the statue?"
"cannot!"
Lu Tao refused decisively, seemingly leaving no room for negotiation.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shengjie immediately became anxious.
If he cannot worship the statue of the god, he cannot make a wish, and therefore cannot use the Breakthrough Pill to break through. It is unknown how long it will take for him to break through on his own, and this time is too difficult to endure.
therefore.
Gu Shengjie hurriedly said, "Sect Master Lu, I know I was wrong before. I shouldn't have been hostile to you and your sect, but there were reasons for it. It's not that I, Gu Shengjie, am petty."
"I sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry."
As he spoke.
Gu Shengjie bowed deeply to Lu Tao, without any pretense, and then said, "I hope that Sect Leader Lu can give me another chance, considering that we both serve the Great Gan."
"Fine."
Since Gu Shengjie had already said so much, and apologized to him in front of everyone without any regard for his status as a Perfected Martial King, Lu Tao no longer felt awkward and nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Gu Shengjie's face lit up with joy.
only.
Before the smile could even appear on her face, Lu Tao continued, "However, this opportunity isn't given away for free."
Gu Shengjie nodded and said, "Sect Leader Lu, please feel free to make any requests."
"I've heard that your Shadowless Palace is proficient in all kinds of eye techniques, so my requirements aren't too high..."
Lu Tao looked at Gu Shengjie and smiled, "As long as you copy all the pupil techniques of the Shadowless Palace for me, I will let you pray again."
Lu Tao had long coveted the pupil technique of the Shadowless Palace.
This sect is proficient in all kinds of eye techniques. Not to mention the entire Daqian, it can be considered a unique existence in the entire Qianyu Continent.
Their eye techniques are numerous and powerful.
If his third eye can be integrated with these pupil techniques, its function will definitely be greatly enhanced.
However, he was not familiar with the Shadowless Palace, and even had a grudge against them, so he naturally could not make a deal with them.
As for attacking the Shadowless Palace.
Lu Tao is not that vicious yet.
so.
Lu Tao had been looking for an opportunity to trade pupil techniques with the Shadowless Palace.
Unexpectedly, before he could even go looking for him, Gu Shengjie, the Martial King of Wuying Palace, delivered himself to his doorstep.
How could he not want it?
Now.
This is the perfect opportunity to demand the pupil technique.
