"Enemy location and number."
Lu Tao immediately instructed his disciple to contact his clone.
"There's only one, currently in the Purple Valley Plane..."
"We have arrived in the Hongyun Plane..."
"Arrived..."
One message after another arrived and reached Lu Tao's ears.
"All disciples, listen to my command!"
Hearing the names of these planes and deducing their routes, Lu Tao took a deep breath, looked at his disciples, and said, "Prepare for battle!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Three thousand disciples rode three thousand true dragons, following behind Lu Tao as they stepped out of the outer heavens, resembling celestial soldiers and generals, arrayed in the starry sky, awaiting their powerful enemy.
...
Buzz!
In a distant dimension.
Ao Bo strolled leisurely through the starry sky, his figure instantly teleporting countless distances across multiple planes with each step.
On the surface, Ao Bo appeared very calm.
But deep down, it was already deeply shocked by the news it had learned.
More than a month ago, the news of the Immortal Sect disciples chasing down the gods in the starry sky had already spread throughout the entire lower realm, and such legends circulated in many planes.
After descending to the mortal realm, Ao Bo did not immediately rush to the Outer Heaven of the Qianyu Continent. Instead, he directly resisted the suppression of the will of heaven and earth and restored his cultivation to the realm of the Heavenly God.
With its cultivation and strength, it can capture a great deal of information from the starry sky with just a slight movement of its soul.
This naturally includes the Immortal Sect's pursuit of the Celestial Gods.
What shocked it was that killing a celestial being was not only something that the sect leader, Lu Tao, could do, but even his disciples could kill celestial beings.
This is extremely terrifying.
Therefore, Ao Bo immediately decided to restore his cultivation to the Divine Lord realm before heading to the Outer Heaven.
Moreover, it is at the peak of the Divine Lord realm.
Avoid making a fool of yourself.
Only with such cultivation could it have enough confidence and strength to face Lu Tao and the Immortal Sect.
Buzz!
When the teleportation ended again, Ao Bo appeared in the starry sky beyond the heavens.
When it looked at the six thousand True Marrow Refining Martial Gods in the starry sky, even though it was once a God King of the True Dragon Clan in the Desolate Domain of the God Realm, its pupils couldn't help but shrink violently.
"Six thousand True Marrow Refining Techniques..."
Ao Bo was deeply shocked. This shock far exceeded what he had heard before about the Immortal Sect disciples chasing down the Celestial God. It was truly unbelievable.
Shocked, Ao Bo took a deep breath and looked at Lu Tao standing in front of the three thousand dragon knights. Although he had no mount and looked very thin, Ao Bo dared not underestimate him.
Ao Bo looked at Lu Tao and said in a deep voice, "Previously, all the races speculated that the seven hundred true dragons came from the secret realm. Even though you killed Ao Xin, the races still believed that the true dragons were created in the secret realm, and that you were just a reincarnation of a powerful being with great strength and some tricks."
Ao Bo paused, then sighed, "I never expected that the number of true dragons you forged was not seven hundred, but three thousand, or even three thousand... six thousand True Refined Marrow. Such ability is beyond the reach of a mere secret realm. The various races of my God Realm's Desolate Domain still underestimated you."
Then, Ao Bo looked at Lu Tao with great sincerity and asked, "So, may I ask who you are, fellow Daoist?"
"The Immortal Sect Master, Lu Tao!"
Lu Tao stood with his hands behind his back in the starry sky, in front of Ao Bo, a faint smile on his face.
"The various races of the divine realm not only misjudged the secret realm, but also misjudged you."
Ao Bo was not in a hurry to make a move. Sensing the aura of the three thousand true dragon mounts, he looked at Lu Tao and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are not a reincarnation of a great power, are you?"
Before Lu Tao could answer, Ao Bo continued, "They are still cultivating the True Dragon Clan's techniques. So, they were qualified in terms of aptitude but not in terms of techniques. That's why they were able to advance to True Marrow Refinement after you killed Ao Xin. And you humans... cultivate the same kind of techniques."
Desolate-grade cultivation techniques are indeed precious, but that only applies to the lower realms. If Lu Tao is the reincarnation of a powerful being from the God Realm, how could he lack such techniques?
If there were no shortage of cultivation techniques, the true dragon and disciples that appeared at the beginning would not have been pseudo-marrow refiners, but true marrow refiners.
It must be said that Ao Bo's judgment was very accurate.
This is something that is easy to guess, especially given its powerful strength and divine soul, it is not difficult for it to sense the aura of the disciples and mounts cultivating their techniques.
This directly proves that Lu Tao's origins are not those of a powerful being reincarnated.
Lu Tao nodded in acknowledgment.
Facing a powerful figure like Ao Bo, Lu Tao had to go all out. Not only him, but also his disciples and mounts did the same. Therefore, none of them concealed their aura in front of Ao Bo.
Even if they try to hide, they won't be able to hide once a fight breaks out.
Why go to such lengths?
"A native human being has managed to create so many prodigies. I'm very curious about what secrets you hold."
When the word "secret" was mentioned, Ao Bo couldn't help but lick his broad lips with his scarlet dragon tongue, his eyes filled with greed.
It felt that, compared to the powerful cultivation techniques and martial arts skills that the clan leader had speculated about Lu Tao, Lu Tao's method of creating six thousand True Marrow Refining techniques, which was merely a human, was the most heaven-defying.
True marrow refinement—that was the realm it had dreamed of countless years ago.
If it hadn't found a python with exceptional aptitude, it would never have been able to enter the True Marrow Refining stage in its entire life.
This formidable barrier that had blocked countless geniuses was easily smoothed out by Lu Tao, allowing three thousand disciples and their mounts to step into it smoothly.
This made it both envious and resentful.
Licking his lips, Ao Bo's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "However, whatever the secret is, it will belong to me from now on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Bo let out a howl and instantly teleported in front of Lu Tao, unleashing a terrifying divine power that struck Lu Tao directly.
This is a water-based divine power. It is very powerful. When it passes through the starry sky, the starry sky is stretched into countless wrinkles as if it were a piece of cloth, but it is wrinkled but not torn.
"That might disappoint you."
Lu Tao smiled faintly. Faced with the powerful water-based divine ability, Lu Tao calmly summoned a divine pot and directly put it inside.
Boom!
The supernatural power entered the divine pot, and a muffled thunderous roar immediately resounded from within. The divine pot trembled slightly and then fell silent.
It is safe and sound.
This scene surprised Ao Bo slightly.
But that's all.
This water-based magical ability was merely a test.
Buzz!
The next moment.
A domain-like entity appeared in the starry sky, enveloping Lu Tao and the mounts of the Immortal Sect disciples.
However, it is different from the field.
A domain is actually invisible, at least not to the naked eye, and can only be sensed by the soul.
But now, the domain that Ao Bo is using is a tangible thing. It seems to be a world of its own, completely isolating this starry sky from the outside world.
"Is this what a realm is?"
Lu Tao carefully sensed it with his divine soul and knew that this was a special ability of the Divine Lord—the Domain.
A domain is an upgraded version of a field.
Within a domain, if you are defeated, you still have a chance to escape; but within a realm, if you are defeated, you will have no way to escape and will be firmly confined within the realm.
Unless a powerful being outside the boundary can break through it and rescue you.
Of course, a realm cannot have only one function.
Since it transforms from the 'virtual' to the 'real' of the domain, its effect is naturally powerful. In addition to isolating itself from the outside world after being used, it also enhances the power of supernatural abilities.
But that's not the most important thing.
Its primary ability is to help cultivators comprehend the laws and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, bringing them closer to the Great Dao.
However, the specifics of how to do this will not be discussed here.
"Set up the formation!"
Enveloped by the domain, Lu Tao remained calm, as did the disciples of the Immortal Sect. Under Lu Tao's command, all the disciples and their mounts sprang into action.
Six thousand True Marrow Refiners at the Martial God level each unleashed countless array flags to provide energy, filling the starry sky.
"Hmm? Interesting."
Ao Bo sensed the purpose of the formation set up by the Immortal Sect, and his eyes involuntarily lowered slightly.
It discovered that this formation had no other function than to cover this starry sky and restrict teleportation, just like the function of the speed domain.
Now, they can be said to be working towards the same goal: to confine each other to this part of the starry sky and prevent the other from leaving.
But this also means that only one side, either it or the Immortal Sect, can leave alive.
It's a fight to the death!
This surprised Ao Bo.
It was only because he fell from the God-King realm to the God-Lord realm that he had the confidence and strength to kill Lu Tao and destroy the Immortal Sect.
But since Lu Tao is not a reincarnation of a powerful being from the God Realm, does not possess any particularly strong cultivation techniques, and does not have any domains or realms—things bestowed by heaven and earth—what right does he have to kill me?
Based on that divine artifact-level pot from earlier?
Or is it just a mere six thousand martial gods?
Ao Bo couldn't quite understand it, but since he couldn't understand it, there was no need to think about it too much. Of course, this didn't mean he would be careless.
Facing the mysterious Lu Tao, who was capable of forging a full six thousand True Refined Marrow, it would give Lu Tao enough respect and would never underestimate him. It would use its full strength to kill Lu Tao.
In fact, when it unleashed its domain, it no longer held any contempt in its heart.
"Aww!"
Ao Bo's enormous true dragon body roared to the sky in the starry sky. The deafening dragon roar, carrying terrifying dragon might, surged towards Lu Tao and the disciples of the Immortal Sect like a tide.
"Aww!"
Almost simultaneously, the three thousand True Essence mounts of the Immortal Sect also roared to the sky, showing no weakness as they howled at Ao Bo.
Boom!
In an instant, the roar of a dragon, carrying the might of a dragon, collided in the starry sky.
But the result was... they annihilated each other and vanished without a trace.
Ao Bo, with his divine lord cultivation and the amplification of his realm, unleashed a dragon roar whose immense dragon might was actually blocked by the three thousand true essence mounts.
It did not cause any damage to the Immortal Sect.
Not to mention intimidating Lu Tao.
This caused Ao Bo's eyes to narrow slightly, as it felt the power of the Immortal Sect for the first time.
In the next instant, Ao Bo unleashed a series of powerful divine abilities, attacking not only Lu Tao but also the true dragons and disciples.
at the same time--
With a buzzing sound.
Ao Bo spat out a dazzlingly colorful bead, which exuded an extremely terrifying aura...
