That sword—
The sword was dark gray and looked unremarkable, yet it exuded a sharp aura.
That knife—
The blade was dull and unremarkable, like a rusty piece of iron, yet it exuded an imposing aura.
That gun—
The gun was dull and lifeless, resembling a withered tree branch, insignificant, yet exuding a menacing aura.
...
This moment.
Nearly ten Martial King clones, plus Shan Yu, all rushed towards Lu Tao, each with imposing momentum and a chilling killing intent.
This hazy space is not an illusion.
Instead, it is the soul that enters.
Therefore.
Their attacks were all aimed at Lu Tao's soul, or rather, his divine consciousness.
With so many attacks, once they land...
The result is self-evident.
only--
Buzz!
The moment all the attacks were launched, Lu Tao seemed to have been prepared. Suddenly, a large bell appeared outside his consciousness.
A very ordinary-looking, ancient gray soul bell.
This bell completely enveloped Lu Tao's consciousness.
clang……
Bang……
boom……
A dense, deafening roar erupted, and the Soul Bell was instantly engulfed by countless attacks.
Bang bang bang—
Countless attacks rained down, bombarding the Soul Bell and shaking off endless gray mist, completely enveloping the Soul Bell and Lu Tao.
A thick fog filled the air, accompanied by constant roaring sounds.
The attacks by Shan Yu and his group never stopped for even a moment.
It seemed like just yesterday.
The soul bell seemed to have been shattered, and a cracking sound was heard.
But at this moment.
But Lu Tao's voice came from within the gray fog.
"You actually have the shadow of demons and other races behind you?"
In the perception of the divine sense.
Lu Tao stood inside the Soul Bell, and apart from being knocked back several hundred feet and slightly hunched over, he was not seriously injured.
However, the soul bell was already full of dents, looking like it could break at any moment.
Just at this moment.
Lu Tao didn't care about the appearance of the Soul Bell.
He still seemed somewhat shocked by the news Shan Yu had told him, staring sharply at Shan Yu, his anger beginning to burn.
Go all out.
Because of the Divine Platform Secret Realm.
This has made neighboring countries wary.
Even those overseas, the demon race, and the monster race are wary of a major conflict.
It's hard to imagine what kind of difficult situation the current major undertaking is facing.
Above the seemingly peaceful Great Gan Dynasty, what kind of turbulent undercurrents are lurking in the outer heavens?
And Shan Yu.
This human seems to have gained the support of demons and other races, and has infiltrated the Divine Platform Secret Realm in an attempt to steal it.
His crime deserves death!
——
"As expected, you not only broke through to the Marrow Refining Realm, but also tempered your divine sense to the extreme."
Shan Yu did not answer Lu Tao's question.
His face was grim, and he asked, somewhat bewildered, "Lu Tao, who exactly are you? How could you have accomplished this in such a short time?"
At the Marrow Refining Realm, one possesses divine sense. As cultivation level increases, divine sense will further enhance at the Innate Realm.
Therefore.
Lu Tao's spiritual sense is at least twice as strong as that of an ordinary innate realm cultivator.
In fact, it's much more than that.
especially.
Lu Tao also used a Heaven-rank cultivation technique, along with pills made from the Soul-Refining Fish, to temper his divine sense. At this moment, the strength of his divine sense was stronger than that of many Grandmasters.
This is also what Shan Yu is wary of.
He could tell from the beginning that Lu Tao's spiritual sense was powerful.
Therefore, he wanted to stimulate Lu Tao with words and information to cause Lu Tao to experience a violent mental fluctuation.
They wanted to find even the slightest opportunity to kill Lu Tao in one fell swoop.
otherwise.
Given his personality, the moment Lu Tao appeared in the Divine Platform Space, he would be captured and controlled by him using secret techniques, just like the other Martial King clones.
He wouldn't waste any more words with Lu Tao, much less try to kill him.
Dead geniuses are of no value to Shan Yu; only living geniuses, especially those he enslaves, can realize the full potential of genius.
However, to his disappointment...
Despite having seized the opportunity, he managed to make Lu Tao's heart flutter.
But they still couldn't take the opportunity to kill Lu Tao.
Lu Tao was actually prepared and instantly unleashed his divine sense defense. With the support of Lu Tao's powerful divine sense, the soul bell actually withstood the attacks of nearly ten innate divine senses.
Shan Yu was puzzled.
According to the information from these Martial King clones, Lu Tao was only at the early stage of the Innate Realm when he entered the secret realm, but in just a few days, he not only reached the Perfection of the Innate Realm, but also possessed such a powerful divine sense.
Such aptitude and talent are simply too strong.
He was very curious about Lu Tao's background.
"Shan Yu, why don't you answer my question first?"
Lu Tao didn't answer Shan Yu's question. Instead, he asked, "Was your method of entering the secret realm provided by the outer sea or by demons and other races?"
Lu Tao wanted to confirm.
"kill!"
Dan Yu shook his head and said nothing more, then charged at Lu Tao frantically, hoping to take the opportunity to shatter the Soul Bell and kill Lu Tao.
only--
Buzz!
As Lu Tao's cultivation technique circulated.
The gray mist that filled the surroundings all converged towards Lu Tao...
No!
To be precise, it should be that the soul bell outside Lu Tao's body was submerged.
Then, amidst Shan Yu's resentful expression, the soul bell, which had been pitted and on the verge of breaking, was instantly and rapidly restored.
Seeing this, Shan Yu knew that Lu Tao could not be allowed to continue recovering.
Boom—
He decisively caused the divine consciousness of one of the Martial King's clones to self-destruct.
The powerful impact was like a hurricane, engulfing Lu Tao and the Soul Bell.
when!
A clear, crisp bell rang out within the altar space; apart from that, only Lu Tao's calm voice could be heard.
"Shan Yu, the self-destruction of a mere early-stage innate divine consciousness poses no threat to me."
These Martial King clones who entered the secret realm had already mastered Heaven-rank techniques and possessed formidable combat power.
Therefore.
Even if one only cultivates a clone at the initial stage of the Innate Realm, one can easily pass the ninth level of the Divine Platform, or even more easily.
Therefore, their main bodies did not spend more resources to improve the realm of their clones.
And at this moment.
Even if a Martial King clone at the early or mid-stage of the Innate Realm were to self-destruct, how much damage could it possibly cause to Lu Tao?
Even that couldn't stop the restoration of his soul clock.
Shan Yu remained silent.
Continue to have everyone surround and attack Lu Tao.
"Since you have already been enslaved, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Seeing the several Great Martial King clones still attacking him relentlessly, Lu Tao's expression darkened.
The words were spoken.
With the Soul Bell on his head, Lu Tao charged towards one of the mid-stage Innate Martial King clones, intending to cut him in two with a single strike.
"Lu Tao, are you plotting a rebellion? How dare you kill the Great Martial King?"
At this moment, the Great Martial King's clone suddenly shouted angrily.
Lu Tao seemed not to hear.
*Sizzle*
Within the divine altar space, containing only divine consciousness, Lu Tao raised his palm as a blade and slashed down.
The surrounding gray fog, like a tide, surged and receded to both sides in an instant.
boom--
Seeing that Lu Tao showed no mercy, this person directly self-destructed his divine sense.
The powerful spiritual attack struck the Soul Bell, causing Lu Tao to freeze abruptly and even stagger back several steps.
"Shan Yu, you have disappointed me greatly. A genius from the ancient barbarian kingdom, you actually resorted to such clumsy tricks."
Shan Yu thought that moral constraints would make Lu Tao show mercy.
Then he was wrong.
The Martial King's clone, enslaved by Shan Yu, is just like those traitors in the previous battle in Mufeng City; it only brings harm to Da Gan.
We'll see.
The main bodies of these Martial Kings are still intact.
Lu Tao suddenly asked with some curiosity, "Shan Yu, what kind of secret technique is this? It can completely control a person's soul, leaving them unable to resist in the slightest. Is this... truly something you created yourself?"
Lu Tao had some doubts.
"no."
Dan Yu shook his head and calmly uttered those two words, which stirred something in Lu Tao's heart.
Dan Yu did not continue to discuss the secret technique. He flew to Lu Tao and stopped him.
And the others.
It was as if he had received a command from Shan Yu.
Instead of attacking Lu Tao, it returned to the bead and chose to continue refining it.
"Lu Tao, you can't stop this from happening."
Looking at Lu Tao, Shan Yu said calmly, "In fact, from the moment I infiltrated the secret realm, my goal was already achieved."
“But you haven’t fully refined that bead yet.” Lu Tao frowned.
Sudden.
Lu Tao realized a possibility, and his expression suddenly changed.
His attacks became even more ferocious, and despite Shan Yu's attacks, he relentlessly charged towards Shan Yu.
Seeing the changes in Lu Tao's expression, Shan Yu's smile grew wider and wider, and he continued to struggle against Lu Tao's attacks.
Lu Tao's spiritual sense was far stronger than his.
although.
Dan Yu's clone is at the peak of the Innate Realm, but he is only at the peak of the Innate Realm after all.
Without the blessing of the Marrow Refining Realm.
"Lu Tao, do you think that I, Shan Yu, entered the Divine Platform Secret Realm in order to refine it and then give it overseas? To the demon and monster races?"
Before Lu Tao could answer, Shan Yu scoffed and said, "No, the overseas tribes and the demon races are all a bunch of ruthless monsters who eat people without spitting out the bones. How can we give them the Divine Platform Secret Realm?"
Lu Tao said in a deep voice: "So, you want to destroy the Divine Platform Secret Realm?"
"That's right, my purpose in infiltrating the Divine Platform Secret Realm is to destroy it."
Dan Yu nodded in agreement, saying, "The Divine Platform Secret Realm is not something that should exist in a low-level plane like ours. It belongs to the divine realm, and its appearance will only bring disaster."
Lu Tao agreed with this statement.
Such a secret realm can be quietly hidden away and developed, allowing one to maintain it indefinitely.
If outsiders or other ethnic groups find out, it will only arouse their envy.
But more than anything, there was fear.
Unfortunately...
The Divine Platform Secret Realm appeared suddenly without warning, and many people entered it. After they came out, the news spread throughout the Great Gan region.
At that time.
Da Gan was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
It wasn't until the second opening, when Da Gan attempted to send his Martial God clone inside, that he realized the importance of the Divine Platform Secret Realm to Da Gan.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Neighboring countries, overseas, and demon races have long known of the existence of the Divine Platform Secret Realm.
Especially when they accidentally discovered that the martial gods of Da Gan were all invincible among their peers, they joined forces to target Da Gan.
This reminded Lu Tao of his third eye.
His third eye.
In some ways, it's even more defying the heavens than a divine altar.
so.
I must be extremely careful in the future and never let outsiders know about it.
Lu Tao pressed further, "You want to make the Divine Platform Secret Realm self-destruct?"
If the Divine Platform Secret Realm self-destructs, what will happen to the people inside?
Lu Tao didn't know, but he had to prevent this from happening.
boom--
The two exchanged several blows in succession.
When Shan Yu's attack landed on the Soul Bell, it only left a few sword marks on the Soul Bell. However, when Lu Tao's attack grazed Shan Yu's Soul Garment, the Soul Garment shattered one after another.
"Lacking the tempering of the marrow refining realm, alas."
Shan Yu felt somewhat regretful.
The Divine Platform Secret Realm has cultivation limitations; he can only cultivate one innate perfect clone, which is already the limit.
He actually wanted to possess a marrow-refining genius's body with his clone.
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time, and there wasn't even such an opportunity.
otherwise.
He believed he would not be defeated by Lu Tao.
It would have allowed them to implement their plans more perfectly, but unfortunately, they fell just short.
Bang--
Lu Tao knocked Shan Yu back with a palm strike, shattering his hands, and continued to press forward, aiming a palm strike at Shan Yu's chest, intending to kill him.
At that very moment.
Dan Yu glanced at the bead, and with a hint of regret, uttered a single word, "Explode!"
