"That's perfect!"
Lu Tao smiled faintly, as if he had already anticipated this scene.
It wasn't surprising.
Buzz!
Staring at the void in front of him, Lu Tao waved his hand gently, and several array plates appeared in his hand.
Lu Tao casually tossed the array plates aside, and they instantly expanded, forming layers of arrays amidst a series of booming sounds, which were then deployed within Lu Tao's domain in an instant.
It covers the entire domain.
Nature also enveloped the world of the strange young man.
"A mere God-King level formation..."
Within the world, the strange young man subconsciously sneered upon seeing this, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized something, stopped abruptly, and remained speechless.
He remembered Lu Tao's strange behavior.
The previous Divine Lord Formation was already extremely powerful.
Even the strange young man himself wouldn't believe that a God-King level formation as powerful as it is now.
He just couldn't understand it.
Why didn't Lu Tao use this formation earlier, but only now?
Could it be that Lu Tao did this on purpose?
Is it to avoid scaring yourself away, making it too troublesome to kill yourself?
Thinking of this, the eerie young man's heart sank into darkness, and he roared in a hoarse voice, "Lu Tao, you... you actually have a backup plan?"
"It's just a mere God-King level formation, not worth mentioning at all."
Lu Tao smiled gently.
But as his formation took shape, its powerful aura enveloped the surrounding void, and waves of terrifying power acted on a certain location in the void, gradually revealing the world of the strange young man.
This is the terror of a god-king level formation.
certainly.
This is just Lu Tao's God-King level formation, not the formation of other forces in the Desolate Region.
After Lu Tao transcends his tribulation and becomes a God King, all his formations and formation plates can be upgraded, making the power of his formations even more terrifying.
Compared to before, the improvement is absolutely huge.
actually.
If Lu Tao wanted, the power of his array plate could be further enhanced.
It should be noted that these array plates he created were only when the array was still at the Divine Lord level. Even now that the array plates and array have all been upgraded, their power has not been maximized.
To achieve the maximum improvement, one can now embed a God-King level array into the array plate and then upgrade the array plate continuously to the God-King level.
However, the power of the array plate is sufficient for his current needs, so Lu Tao did not bother to refine another one.
Sizzle!
The formation was activated, and the fireball, which had been upgraded to a superior-grade divine artifact, combined with the formation to burn wildly.
When the weapon is of superior grade and combined with the formation, the fireball can burn down the Dragon Transformation Pool. At the same time, burning down the world of the strange youth would naturally have a similar effect.
"Damn, how do you have so many good things?"
Within the world, the strange young man was extremely unwilling and frustrated.
Ice beads and fireballs may seem like common things, but they are all governed by rules and possess terrifying power.
You're lucky to get one or two of these things, but Lu Tao had them in huge quantities.
That's not hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands.
This is absolutely outrageous.
"Isn't this something you can easily make? What's the big deal?"
Lu Tao replied to him indifferently, then ignored the strange young man and transmitted his voice to He Yuanshuang, instructing, "Shuang'er, take all the other disciples into the No. 1 Minor World, and let the No. 2 Minor World undergo its tribulation first."
"Yes, my husband!"
He Yuanshuang immediately took action.
In the blink of an eye, she had taken away all the disciples of the Immortal Sect.
then.
Without waiting for Lu Tao's instructions, the No. 2 Minor World silently flew out of the Chaos Realm and went to the center of Tianzhou to begin its tribulation.
After the No. 2 Minor World undergoes its tribulation and advances, it will be able to accommodate a Divine Lord undergoing a perfect tribulation.
same.
Other items can also undergo tribulation to advance to the God-King level.
For example, weapons, objects governed by rules, and small worlds.
He Yuanshuang guessed something, and appeared beside Lu Tao with the No. 1 Lesser Thousand World, asking through telepathy, "Husband, is there anything else going on?"
Logically speaking...
Her husband could easily kill the strange youth first, and then they would be in charge of the entire desolate region. Naturally, the tribulation of the No. 2 Minor World would not be affected in the slightest.
But now, her husband seems to be surrounding the strange young man without actually killing him.
Instead, let the No. 2 Lesser Thousand World undergo its tribulation first.
It felt like they were buying time for the second minor world.
Obviously.
It seems that something else will happen after the strange young man is killed.
Lu Tao nodded and said, "That's right. Since this guy is guarding the desolate region, it's impossible for the forces that sent him to the desolate region not to find out if we kill him."
"He is already a late-stage God Emperor. When he comes next, it will probably be a God Emperor."
Lu Tao continued, "With my current strength, I am still far from being able to face the God Emperor. Only by having the No. 2 Minor World undergo tribulation and improve can I ensure my safety."
He Yuanshuang pulled Lu Tao with concern and said, "But husband, even if the No. 2 Minor World upgrades, it will only improve its self-protection ability. If we don't leave the desolate region in time, it will still be very troublesome."
Lu Tao grasped He Yuanshuang's soft hand in return, gave her a reassuring look, and smiled, "Don't worry, Shuang'er, your husband has made arrangements."
"Um!"
He Yuanshuang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Their conversation was conducted telepathically, without letting the strange young man know.
same.
The scene of the second minor world undergoing tribulation was not seen by the strange young man.
Both Lu Tao's Chaotic Realm and the array were sufficient to shield the strange young man from external perception.
Boom!
Thunder reappears.
The second minor world underwent tribulation, and its power was equally terrifying.
In the Lesser Thousand Worlds, the process of upgrading is the same as Lu Tao's: undergoing a perfect tribulation of lightning.
This time, it will also take more than a day for it to undergo this tribulation.
In response to this.
Lu Tao wasn't in a hurry at all.
In the present-day wasteland, there is nothing that can threaten him anymore.
As long as we keep the strange young man trapped and prevent him from regaining his strength, there will be no need to worry.
*Sizzle!*
Under Lu Tao's control, the formation continuously scorched the world of the strange youth, its terrifying power causing the world to gradually distort and collapse.
The strange young man in the world felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this.
"I... am truly unwilling to accept this!"
The strange young man couldn't help but growl in a low voice, muttering to himself, "I have guarded this place for 95 million years. I only need to guard it for another 5 million years before I can return. Why did someone like Lu Tao have to appear at this time?"
The strange young man felt that he was having terrible luck.
Having guarded the area for nearly a hundred million years, and with the mission nearing completion, this is what happened.
Not only did they fail to defend the town, but they also lost their own lives.
The strange young man trembled uncontrollably at the thought of his impending demise.
He looked at Lu Tao, who was standing outside the world with a cold expression, and wanted to beg for mercy, but he knew that since Lu Tao had the ability to kill him, how could he let him go?
only--
He had cultivated for countless years, and he was truly unwilling to perish like this.
As various thoughts flashed through his mind, the strange young man suddenly asked tentatively, without much confidence, "Lu Tao, if I tell you some secrets and give you all the harvest I have accumulated over the past hundred million years, can you spare my life?"
"..."
Lu Tao remained silent, completely ignoring him.
How could he possibly let the strange young man go? That's absolutely impossible.
"well!"
The strange young man looked up at the sky and sighed.
He was filled with resentment. A powerful God-Emperor had actually been humiliated by a mere God-King and ended up in such a predicament.
Although this deity has now become a god-king.
But he was still very unwilling.
"Is... reincarnation the only option?"
The strange young man's eyes were somewhat vacant. If Lu Tao did not give him a chance to live, the only way for him to survive would be through reincarnation.
Reincarnation.
It was certainly not an ethereal existence for him, but having finally cultivated to the God Emperor realm, how could he be willing to enter the cycle of reincarnation?
Who knows what race he will become after reincarnation, or what his aptitude will be?
If you're lucky and have good aptitude, you might be able to cultivate to the God Emperor realm again, but who knows what unexpected things might happen during the cultivation process? If you're unlucky and have poor aptitude and comprehension, you might become food for other creatures.
He knew without even needing to think about which possibility was more likely.
If he were a God Emperor, he could change the aptitude of his reincarnated body through other means if he chose to reincarnate. But he was only a God Sovereign.
*Sizzle!*
In the long silence, the strange young man sensed that his world was collapsing.
The once vast and boundless inner world had been riddled with holes by the power of the curse, and now nearly ten percent of it had been burned away.
Don't underestimate that it's only one-tenth; it's the result of his cultivation over ten million years.
Boom!
At this moment, in the world of the strange youth, it was as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in, with the entire world continuously crumbling and disintegrating from the edges.
The world, which was already a fiery red, was engulfed in heavenly fire and the earth was ablaze with flames.
As if it were the end of the world, it burned the magnificent world into nothingness.
Even so, he still found it difficult to make a decision.
after all.
He truly found it difficult to part with any of the things in the world.
Numerous true dragon bloodlines, mountains of various demonic materials, as well as various divine veins, rule-based objects, strange items... and so on.
This was something he had painstakingly scavenged from the desolate region over nearly a hundred million years.
He simply couldn't bear to give up like that.
Reincarnation...
His soul enters the cycle of reincarnation, but he cannot take the world with him.
Not to mention other things in the world.
For a moment, the strange young man was caught in a dilemma.
The previous battle, the current choice... This feeling of hesitation and entanglement appeared on him one after another, which was rare, but he really couldn't help but hesitate.
Even as a god-emperor, he could not make the right choice decisively.
"Sigh, I was too greedy. If I had sent Lu Tao's message back sooner, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
The strange young man was filled with regret.
If he hadn't coveted the opportunity offered by Lu Tao, he would have had a good chance to send word back about what had happened earlier and have a powerful God Emperor come to handle it, but he didn't do that.
It's not that he was too greedy; it's just that Lu Tao was too extraordinary.
Who could have imagined that Lu Tao, who was only at the Divine Lord realm, could not only survive his pursuit but also severely injure him, and even survive the perfect Heavenly Tribulation with his intervention?
Even more frightening is...
After overcoming his tribulation, Lu Tao surprisingly increased his strength to the point of overwhelming him in a short period of time.
Even if his injuries have healed somewhat and his strength has recovered to some extent, he is still no match for Lu Tao.
All of this was completely beyond his comprehension and shattered his understanding.
Now, even if he wanted to get the message out, he couldn't.
"It seems that only reincarnation can save my life!"
Looking at the world being destroyed, the strange young man suddenly took a deep breath, glanced at his world with a hint of reluctance, and seemed to have made a decision in his heart.
Just as he was about to take action...
*Sizzle!*
Just then, he suddenly felt that the intensity of the scorching world seemed to have decreased by 90%, and the fireball had run out.
This made the strange young man, who had just made his decision, hesitate again.
Reaching the God Emperor realm is extremely difficult, and if possible, he would naturally prefer to live rather than perish or be reincarnated.
"Lu Tao, did you do this on purpose, or are you really out of options?"
He suspected that Lu Tao did it on purpose, that he didn't want him to die prematurely, but he couldn't understand why, because Lu Tao had no reason to do it.
What difference does it make whether you kill him a day earlier or a day later?
"I... sigh, I'll give it another try!"
Unable to figure it out, the strange young man stopped thinking about it.
In the end, clinging to a sliver of hope, he continued to meditate, hoping to regain some strength and perhaps escape.
This time.
He not only consumed a large number of pills, but also swallowed the true dragon bloodline that was originally stored in the world, intending to fuse the bloodline at this time.
original.
He planned to exchange these bloodlines for a true dragon bloodline at the God Emperor level after leaving the desolate region, but before he could return, Lu Tao's incident occurred.
Since there was no way out, he had no choice but to take a gamble.
Who cares about wasting resources?
Glug!
He swallowed more than ten portions of the true dragon bloodline at the God-King level in one go.
A powerful aura of blood flowed through his body, merging into his limbs and bones, and penetrating his very essence.
——
"You can't reincarnate at this time!"
Outside, after Lu Tao exhausted his fireballs, he did not throw out any more, but instead used an array to surround the world.
Giving the strange young man time to catch his breath also buys time for the No. 2 Lesser Thousand Worlds to undergo tribulation.
He could kill the strange young man at any time if he wanted to.
Lu Tao knew what choice the strange young man would ultimately make, but he was prepared for it.
Reincarnation
Of course, he couldn't stop the strange young man from choosing reincarnation. After all, this guy was in his own world and wanted to disperse his soul. His Soul-Suppressing Technique couldn't stop him.
But he can interfere with the reincarnation outcome of the strange youth.
For example, one might pray that after reincarnation, he would be reborn among a group of weak demons or among frail insects, with exceptionally poor aptitude and comprehension.
He will never be able to cultivate to the level of God Emperor again.
Let alone becoming a God Emperor, even becoming a Martial God or a Primordial Being wouldn't be enough.
More importantly, he could also pray that the child would have a miserable life after birth, or better yet, die as soon as possible.
In this way...
The strange young man is still doomed.
As for who killed him, Lu Tao didn't care.
All he needs is this result.
Moreover, Lu Tao had a better way to handle it.
Boom!
In the distance, the No. 2 Lesser Thousand Worlds continued its tribulation.
By now, it has survived more than sixty tribulations of lightning, and is more than halfway through the tribulations.
In a few more hours, it will be able to pass through the perfect lightning tribulation and advance from the top-grade minor world to another level.
that's all.
Outside, Lu Tao was besieging the strange youth in the No. 2 Minor World, while inside the world, the strange youth was frantically consuming various pills in an attempt to restore his strength and fuse his bloodline.
Time passed by like this.
It's dazzling.
Another three hours passed.
The Lesser Thousand Worlds has already undergone ninety-nine tribulations of lightning, with only nine more to go.
"Sigh, why can't I succeed even on the first try?"
In this world, the strange young man sighed in utter helplessness.
He consumed dozens of portions of God-King level bloodline this time, but unfortunately, they were all wasted and he was unable to successfully fuse them.
But to his delight, the scorching power from the outside world had greatly diminished, and it seemed that Lu Tao truly had no other forces targeting his world.
This allowed him to focus on recovering his strength.
He didn't think about it anymore and continued his recovery.
In the blink of an eye, another two hours had passed.
Buzz!
As the No. 2 Lesser Thousand World passed its final tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation of Tianzhou dissipated, and the sky instantly cleared.
"It's finally done!"
Lu Tao was overjoyed and casually recalled the Second Lesser Thousand World... no, to be precise, it should be the Second Greater Thousand World.
As he guessed, after the top-level minor world was upgraded again, it became the major world.
but.
Lu Tao only glanced at it and didn't look at it in detail. Instead, he focused his attention on the world in front of him.
"Take it!"
With a soft shout from Lu Tao, the Second Great Thousand World enveloped the world of the strange youth, intending to absorb it into his own body.
"not good!"
Within the world, the strange young man sensed all of this and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
His world was trembling violently under the pull of that smaller world, as if it was about to be forcibly taken away.
"Wait, is this really a minor world?"
Sudden.
He sensed that something was wrong.
If Lu Tao's Small Thousand Worlds really had such power that his world couldn't generate much resistance, then why didn't Lu Tao use it earlier?
Buzz!
As the second great world was pulled apart, the strange youth was shocked to find that his world could not be fixed in the void, but instead broke away from the void and flew towards the small world.
At that moment, he was utterly desperate.
"Lu Tao, don't even think about it!"
The eerie youth roared with bloodshot eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, he decisively caused his world to self-destruct, and at the same time, his physical body also self-destructed.
That's not all.
His soul stirred slightly, and it began to disintegrate directly within the world, as if he were about to pass away, transforming into pure soul energy.
Boom!
The world of a God-Emperor self-destructs; its power is terrifying.
Unfortunately, his world was destroyed by the power of the curse and is no longer as prosperous as it once was.
Even if it self-destructs at this point, its power will be limited.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Lu Tao did not retreat a single step. Taking advantage of the moment when the strange youth world self-destructed, he had the No. 2 Great Thousand World forcibly take it in.
Along with it, the disintegrating divine soul was also taken away.
Buzz!
The moment the strange youth was taken into the second Great Thousand World, a powerful will of heaven and earth descended upon his soul.
Under this will of heaven and earth, the demonic youth's soul, which had already mostly dissipated...
It suddenly came to a standstill!
