Chapter 249 All under heaven belongs to the king, all the people are his subjects, the emperor has… the map of mountains, rivers and states
Lu Chen’s hundred days of preparation were all for this moment.
Zhao Zhongming was completely unaware of all this.
After all, he didn't know about Lu Chen's Haoran Qinglian Sword Domain, and he didn't know the spiritual sword effect of Lu Chen's Shangqingyun Sword.
Naturally, no one would have thought that Lu Chen's method, which was not a formation but was better than a formation, would be possible.
Inside the academy, Zhao Zhongming, after using his supreme luck to withstand the suppression of Lu Chen's sword domain of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, had already walked to a distance of ten steps in front of Lu Chen.
This location was an area that countless Gu masters had tried to reach at the cost of their lives before, but now it was easily reached by Zhao Zhongming.
But for some reason, Zhao Zhongming did not rush to attack Lu Chen after reaching this distance, but stopped instead.
Although he was in Lu Chen's sword domain, Zhao Zhongming used his amazing dynasty luck to forcibly open up an area of his own in this sword domain.
Zhao Zhongming was wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown, and he exuded a natural and domineering aura as if he was the king of the world.
Even though he was surrounded by vengeful spirits seeking to take his life, he seemed unable to see them.
He had that kind of domineering aura, as if he was the center of the world and everyone revolved around him.
And for some reason, Lu Chen did not choose to take action at this time.
The two sides were thus caught in a strange standoff.
This scene made most people in the inner courtyard of the academy a little confused, and they had no idea what the two were doing.
Only Yi Hanqing, Xing Li and Juechen seemed to have noticed something and showed thoughtful expressions.
Among all the people present at this moment, perhaps only one person knew the reason why these two people were confronting each other.
That is Yun Zhonglu who has reached the Spirit Transformation Stage.
In fact, the reason why Lu Chen and Zhao Zhongming were not in a hurry to take action was very simple.
That is, neither side has found the other's weakness yet.
Although Zhao Zhongming could borrow the dynasty's imperial tools to gain supreme luck, he could use this to offset Lu Chen's sword domain.
Being able to offset the sword domain does not mean being immune to the sword domain.
Lu Chen's sword domain of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood still had some effect on him.
However, this impact is not as fast as the speed at which his own luck is replenished.
But the sword domain is only one aspect. What Zhao Zhongming wants is never as simple as just breaking Lu Chen's sword domain.
You should know that since Lu Chen appeared, he has already displayed two sword domains.
One was the sword dragon hovering behind Lu Chen at this moment, and the other was the sea of corpses and blood covering the two of them.
If it were just these two sword domains, Zhao Zhongming would naturally not be afraid.
But Lu Chen acted too calm from beginning to end.
It was so calm that Zhao Zhongming felt that Lu Chen must have some hidden card.
Before figuring out what this trump card is.
He didn't dare to act rashly.
Because if he couldn't kill the enemy with one strike, he would most likely fall into the trap that Lu Chen had prepared in advance.
He was the longest-lived and possibly the most talented emperor in the history of the Daying Dynasty.
Zhao Zhongming lacks everything except patience.
Anyway, he has come this far today, and he is only one step away from breaking the situation of heaven and earth and breaking the shackles, so he doesn't care about this little bit of time.
On the other side, Lu Chen actually had similar ideas as him.
Although the power of the Haoran Qinglian Sword should be enough to kill Zhao Zhongming at the moment.
But Lu Chen didn't want "should", he wanted "must".
Therefore, the longer time passes, the better it is for him.
Not to mention that during this period of time, many third-level Gu cultivators and first- and second-level Gu people have died in his sword domain.
The spiritual power released after these people died was naturally absorbed by the surrounding green lotus sword flowers.
Further enhanced the power of these sword flowers.
Therefore, Lu Chen was even less anxious.
Time...is on his side.
On the one hand, he wanted to find Lu Chen's flaws and seek an opportunity to kill him with one strike.
On the one hand, it is to further enhance the power of the sword flowers, and on the other hand, it is to seek the opportunity to kill with one blow.
Although the two sides have different starting points, their results are the same.
As a result, the two sides fell into a strange stalemate.
After about an incense stick of time, Zhao Zhongming suddenly understood something and showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
Then he looked at Lu Chen and said calmly: "What you rely on should be those sword flowers beside you, right?"
Lu Chen was not too surprised to hear that Zhao Zhongming had seen through his cards.
After all, although the Green Lotus Sword Flowers have a certain concealment effect, they will still make some noise when absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
Although Lu Chen has tried his best to use the sword domain of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood to hide the traces of these green lotus sword flowers.
But as long as someone is willing to look carefully, they can still find some clues.
After understanding this, Zhao Zhongming also made a decision.
"I don't know why you are so confident that those strange flowers that can absorb spiritual energy can help you cross the huge gap between you and me."
"But I am very clear about one thing, that is, you need more time than I do."
"In that case, let's see whether you can hold on until the sword flower blooms, or I kill you first..."
Just as Zhao Zhongming finished speaking, his body instantly disappeared from the spot.
The next second, a tall figure appeared behind Lu Chen.
Without looking back, Lu Chen felt a huge pressure coming from above his head.
It was an extremely domineering force, so domineering that when this force appeared, all forces in the surrounding space were violently repelled.
It seemed that in this small space, that force was the only one, and no other force was allowed to exist besides it.
The source of this power comes from the true emperor of the Daying Dynasty... Zhao Zhongming.
At this moment, he had already raised his right hand and slapped Lu Chen's head with one claw.
The pressure that enveloped Lu Chen was the dynasty's luck released by Zhao Zhongming.
Bang! With a loud bang, a huge crack was immediately blasted out where Lu Chen was.
The crack started from Lu Chen's position and extended all the way to the wall next to it.
Then the wall also broke apart.
The most terrifying thing about this attack is not the incredible power it contains.
But it is the kingly will it contains.
This will even briefly broke through Lu Chen's sword domain, causing the places where the kingly will passed to be restored to their original academy appearance.
However, this kingly will did not last long, and the broken places in the sword domain of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood were filled up again in a very short time.
Even so, the power of Zhao Zhongming's claw should not be underestimated.
Because this was the first time since Lu Chen mastered the sword domain that he encountered a being that could break through his sword domain at the third level, which is the Jindan stage.
Although this kind of breaking is pure force suppression, there is no skill involved.
But once it’s broken, it’s broken, there’s nothing to say.
If he hadn't dodged that claw just now and was hit hard, it would have been really troublesome.
Zhao Zhongming, who knew that time was running out, did not give Lu Chen any breathing space and disappeared again.
Then, in the horrified eyes of everyone, Lu Chen and Zhao Zhongming fought each other.
Zhao Zhongming relied on his terrifying body of luck, and every move he made contained the power to destroy the world, with his movements opening and closing vigorously.
There is an indescribable dominance in every gesture.
On Lu Chen's side, Lu Chen used some unknown method to display a power similar to Zhao Zhongming's.
There was a layer of golden light on Lu Chen's body surface. Upon closer inspection, this layer of golden light was vaguely similar to dragon scales.
With the blessing of these golden lights, Lu Chen's own cultivation, soul, and physique all achieved terrifying growth.
Although it was still far less terrifying than the bonus from Zhao Zhongming's dynasty body, it narrowed the gap in cultivation between him and Zhao Zhongming to a level visible to the naked eye.
The most intuitive result is that although Lu Chen's speed and strength are not as good as Zhao Zhongming's, he is not to the point where he cannot fight back.
In an instant, the figures of both sides kept interweaving.
Lu Chen held a white long sword in one hand, constantly colliding with Zhao Zhongming's dragon claw.
And with every collision between the punch and the sword, Lu Chen's body would shake.
If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, he would not be able to fight with Zhao Zhongming to such an extent at this time.
They couldn't even withstand Zhao Zhongming's initial attack.
Not only did Lu Chen block it, he even managed to avoid being at a disadvantage.
But all this is based on the fact that Zhao Zhongming is not used to Lu Chen's methods.
Inside the academy, the two men's figures changed continuously, punches and swords kept interweaving, fists attacking and swords defending.
Seeing that he was unable to defeat Lu Chen, Zhao Zhongming's brows became more and more furrowed.
He thought that after seeing through Lu Chen's trump card, he could force him to reveal it in a short period of time.
As long as the opponent's trump card cannot kill you in an instant.
That relies on the special effect brought about by the dynasty's imperial utensil, the Daying Jade Seal.
In a flash, he could use the dynasty's luck to repair his body and make up for the loss of spiritual power.
In this way, victory will completely fall into his hands.
But he never expected that even if Lu Chen did not rely on those magical "Taoism methods".
Just relying on his own "cultivation", he can compete with him on equal terms.
The normal realm distinction seemed to be completely irrelevant to Lu Chen.
This undoubtedly disrupted Zhao Zhongming's original plan.
It also made him realize that if he wanted to defeat Lu Chen, he couldn't hold back even a little bit.
Although this boy looks young, his rich combat experience, outstanding talent and solid foundation have enabled him to ignore his age and realm and reach heights that many people would find difficult to achieve in their lifetime.
If you change the occasion or the place.
Zhao Zhongming was very happy to sit and discuss with people like Lu Chen, chatting about cultivation and even some trivial matters in life.
But unfortunately, this is his last step to break out of the cage.
He absolutely would not allow anyone to stop him at this time.
If there is any obstacle, I will kill the gods and the Buddhas! After another attack, Zhao Zhongming suddenly stopped in mid-air.
After seeing this scene, Lu Chen also stopped.
Unlike Zhao Zhongming who was unharmed, Lu Chen's right arm robe was torn into pieces, revealing the white skin underneath.
In fact, Lu Chen was not unscathed in the fight with Zhao Zhongming just now.
He just kept using his innate magical power, the Wheel of Time, to repair the injuries in his body.
Otherwise, even with the blessing of the True Dragon Sword Domain, his basic attributes would have been improved by several levels.
It was not easy for him to block Zhao Zhongming's attack.
Because at this time Zhao Zhongming could no longer be treated as an ordinary third-level cultivator.
He is a monster who has one foot halfway into the Nascent Soul stage.
[Innate magical power: Reincarnation time]
[Grade: Four Realms]
[Effect: After using, you can predict the target's situation 10 seconds in the future. The greater the difference in cultivation level and the more targets there are, the more spiritual power is required to maintain the use of the magical power. ]
[Special Effect: Reversal of Time: Can reverse five seconds of time, returning the body to the state five seconds ago. Spiritual power cannot be restored. At the same time, experience points can be used to purchase additional reversal of time. 100,000 experience points can purchase 1 second of reversal of time.]
Theoretically speaking, as long as Zhao Zhongming's attack remains at this intensity.
Then Lu Chen can continue to use "Reversal of Time" to repair his injuries.
Achieve a similar effect as Zhao Zhongming's body of luck.
After all, Lu Chen could definitely afford the purchase price of 100,000 per second.
But Lu Chen knew very well that Zhao Zhongming's methods were definitely not limited to this.
Zhao Zhongming stood in the sky above the academy, like an emperor overlooking his own kingdom, with an indescribable majesty revealed between his brows.
He looked at Lu Chen and said seriously: "I have to admit that even though I have overestimated your methods as much as possible, after actually taking action, I still seem to have underestimated you."
"I didn't want to use that thing here, but now it seems that I have no better choice..."
After saying that, a golden object appeared in Zhao Zhongming's hand again.
It was a golden scroll with a golden frame and dragon patterns all over it.
The scroll cover was covered with gold threads, as if it was woven with a large amount of precious materials.
Looking at the scroll in Zhao Zhongming's hand, Lu Chen frowned slightly.
[Name: Dynasty Imperial Instruments: Great Ying Rivers, Mountains, and Land]
[Rank: Third Realm]
[Effect: As long as you are within the scope of the Daying Dynasty, you can rely on the 'Map of the Country and the People' to appear anywhere in the Daying Dynasty and modify the surrounding environment at will]
Zhao Zhongming held the imperial seal on his head and the map of the country in his hand. The kingly aura around him reached its peak.
He looked at Lu Chen as if he was looking at a cold corpse, and said in a dignified tone: "All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects. You are standing on my throne, so how can you have the confidence to fight with me?"
As he spoke, Zhao Zhongming spread out the map of the country in his hand.
The next second, due to changes in the surrounding environment, Lu Chen's sword domain began to shake violently.
At this moment, the map of the country and the people seemed to be competing with Lu Chen's sword domain for the control of this world, engaging in an invisible struggle.
The danger of this fight was even greater than the previous encounters between Lu Chen and Zhao Zhongming.
Because this is a struggle between Tao and Tao.
It is a battle between Lu Chen and Yi Chao's destiny.
For a moment, Lu Chen's mind was greatly distracted in order to maintain the sword domain.
Zhao Zhongming took advantage of this opportunity and came behind Lu Chen in an instant.
This time, Lu Chen seemed to be blind to all this and remained standing there unmoved.
"As I said, no one can stop me here..."
As he spoke, Zhao Zhongming reached out his claws to grab Lu Chen's heart.
It seemed that Lu Chen could no longer avoid this...
