The Final Battle: The Heavenly Emperor's Son! (4K)
"Are you going to admit defeat?"
Lu Changsheng relentlessly pursued and suppressed Yuexi while questioning her, without ceasing his attack.
The opponent is a genius at the Ninth-Grade God King Realm. Only by taking the initiative and getting close to Yuexi can Lu Changsheng suppress the opponent. Once the opponent creates distance and uses the Divine Ability of the Profound Maiden Palace, it will be difficult to deal with.
"I..."
Yuexi's face flushed red; she was being suppressed by Lu Changsheng and was clearly no match for him.
But she is the Profound Maiden Palace's Number One Prodigy. If she admits defeat, what will become of the Profound Maiden Palace's reputation?
"Yuexi, that's enough."
The Palace Master Profound Maiden Palace had not expected this outcome.
Lu Changsheng attacked relentlessly like a madman. Yuexi couldn't create distance and could only fight Lu Changsheng to the death. However, Lu Changsheng was a Body Tempering expert with a strong physique and was proficient in various Cultivation Method. Yuexi couldn't think of a way to create distance.
The Profound Maiden Palace's Number One Prodigy is in such a sorry state. If the fight continues, Yuexi will be killed by Lu Changsheng sooner or later.
The Twelve Sword Maidens of the Profound Maiden Palace were all stunned by Lu Changsheng's move.
"However, on the other hand, it's truly astonishing that this young man has been able to temper his physique to such an extent at the Immortal Emperor Realm. Have you noticed that his True Qi energy is not much weaker than that of my disciple?"
The Palace Master Profound Maiden Palace conversed with the other eleven Sword Maidens.
Sword Maiden Mengchen and the others carefully reviewed the match. Apart from killing the genius with random punches, Lu Changsheng's True Qi was indeed very powerful.
Even if Chu Wuqing of the Martial God Palace used the same method, he couldn't make the Peerless Beauty Profound Maiden Palace's Number One Prodigy look so disheveled.
"This little guy is only at the Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation, so why is his True Qi energy so astonishing?"
"This child's talent is truly monstrous."
"He won against Yuexi with a preemptive strike, but the Imperial Son will be on guard and will keep his distance from him from the start. He can't repeat the same tactic and can only take second place."
"Under the whole world, there should be no one of his generation who could defeat the Imperial Son. His second-place finish is already enough to make him famous."
"Unfortunately, he is a male cultivator, which does not meet our Profound Maiden Palace's requirements for accepting disciples."
The Twelve Sword Maidens secretly discussed the matter via telepathy.
No one expected that a genius from the Lower Realm would connect with and defeat Divine Palace Peerless Genius of the Martial God Palace, the Five Luminaries Palace, and the Profound Maiden Palace, shining brightly.
The Palace Master Profound Maiden Palace agreed to concede defeat, and Lu Changsheng gave up suppressing Yuexi. Yuexi glared at Lu Changsheng resentfully.
This was the first time she had been beaten like this. The other person showed no mercy at all, and towards the end, they almost pinned her to the ground, beating her like street thugs.
The Profound Maiden Palace's Number One Prodigy rarely appears so disheveled.
How is she supposed to get along in the Immortal Realm after this?
"Immortal Maiden Yuexi, I'm so sorry."
Lu Changsheng was also covered in sweat, having used up all his strength.
He tried every possible method to defeat Yuexi in this way.
It was precisely because Yuexi's cultivation level was very high that her only weakness was her physical strength, which is why Lu Changsheng took the initiative and did not give Yuexi a chance.
In full view of everyone, he brutally beat up the genius of the Profound Maiden Palace, almost punching him while riding on his back, which made Yuexi and Profound Maiden Palace quite embarrassed.
"Snort."
Yuexi bit her thin lips lightly, then turned and left.
It took the Golden-Armored Heavenly General a while to recover before announcing the results of the competition. "In this round, Lu Changsheng of Taihua Mountain has emerged victorious."
"Fellow Daoist Lu's sudden rise to the finals is nothing short of a miracle."
"We have one person from the Lower Realm who has made it to the finals. Even if they can't win the Champion, that's enough."
"Taihua Mountain has really lived up to expectations this time, producing such a Peerless Genius."
"This child will surely become Great Expert in the future."
"We must continue to cultivate good relations with the Taihua Sacred Ground and Fellow Daoist Lu."
The various Holy Land and Aristocratic Clan were overjoyed to see someone enter the top two.
Originally, it was already surprising enough for a genius from the Lower Realm to Top Eight, but Lu Changsheng entered the Top Two!
No one expected Lu Changsheng to defeat the Imperial Son, since this competition was proposed by the Heavenly Emperor in order to make the Imperial Son famous, and basically no one could defeat the Supreme Emperor Body.
The top two performers exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Congratulations, Sacred Lord Lin! Your Taihua Mountain has produced a fine Disciple this time."
"This child is destined for greatness."
People from various Holy Lands and Aristocratic Clan offered their congratulations to Lin Xuantong, casting envious glances at him.
Lu Changsheng's entry into the Top Two also brought glory to the Taihua Sacred Ground.
"Changsheng, second place is enough. In the final battle, act according to your strength."
Lin Xuantong was already very satisfied with his disciple's performance.
He also knew that Imperial Son Ku possessed the Supreme Emperor Body, making him invincible within the same realm. Lu Changsheng had already exhausted all his strength to defeat Yuexi of the Profound Maiden Palace. Imperial Son Ku was even stronger, and Lu Changsheng would most likely be defeated. Therefore, he comforted Lu Changsheng in advance.
"Yes."
Lu Changsheng took the Medicinal Pills to quickly restore his True Qi.
The final opponent is Imperial Son Ku, who possesses the Special Physique "Supreme Emperor Body" and is even stronger than Yuexi, making him an absolutely formidable foe.
Without mastering the First Section of the Fifth Sword Realm Sword Art in the Cultivation Space, Lu Changsheng had absolutely no confidence.
"Lu Lang, that Imperial Son is said to possess the Supreme Emperor Body and be extremely powerful. You must be careful."
Xia Ningxue also gave Lu Changsheng some instructions.
The Supreme Emperor Body is renowned for its exceptional talent. It allows one to achieve twice the results with half the effort, regardless of the cultivation Cultivation Method. Imperial Son Ku, in particular, cultivated for six or seven hundred thousand years and became Ninth-Grade God King, surpassing the talents of the Heavenly Court's Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces. He is undoubtedly the number one genius of the Heavenly Court.
The next match began, and as expected, Imperial Son Ku defeated Young Master Long.
Although Young Master Long was defeated, he still wore a slight smile.
Losing to Imperial Son Ku is not shameful. He was already among the top four, and both he and Imperial Son Ku are geniuses of the Mira Palace. Regardless of who wins or loses, the Mira Palace has demonstrated the strength of the Heavenly Court's number one Divine Palace to all the Holy Lands and Aristocratic Clan.
After defeating Young Master Long, Imperial Son Ku quickly recovered his True Qi.
He must defeat Lu Changsheng with all his might and overpower all the geniuses in the Immortal Realm in order to inherit the throne of the Heavenly Emperor in the future.
Lu Changsheng is the most likely person to challenge his authority.
Before the final competition, Lu Changsheng and Imperial Son Ku rested for a day.
The Palace Master of the Five Luminaries Palace spoke up, "Lin Xuantong, regardless of the final outcome, our Five Luminaries Palace would like to invite your disciple to join us. What do you think?"
The moment the Palace Master of the Five Luminaries Palace spoke, the many disciples of the Five Luminaries Palace were shocked.
Their Five Luminaries Palace has Peerless Genius like Tian Chengjian and Tian Hao, but compared to Lu Changsheng, they inevitably pale in comparison. So much so that the Palace Master of the Five Luminaries Palace was somewhat dissatisfied with his disciple's performance and wanted to recruit Lu Changsheng into the Five Luminaries Palace.
Tian Chengjian and Tian Hao, the two geniuses from the Five Luminaries Palace who had been defeated by Lu Changsheng, had gloomy faces. Their skills were inferior, and their defeat to Lu Changsheng disappointed the Five Luminaries Palace.
The Palace Master Five Luminaries Palace continued, "I can give you a Primordial Chaos Treasure from Taihua Mountain as compensation, how about it?"
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing this, some of the weaker Holy Lands and Aristocratic Clan gasped in shock.
The Five Luminaries Palace was actually willing to offer Primordial Chaos Treasure as a price just to recruit a genius like Lu Changsheng!
A single Primordial Chaos Treasure can bankrupt a weak High Antiquity Aristocratic Clan!
Before Lin Xuantong could make a decision, an Old Lord from the Three Pure Ones Palace spoke up, "Our Three Pure Ones Palace also wishes to invite Young Friend Lu to cultivate here. He can retain his status Taihua Saint, but Taihua Mountain will be managed by your daughter from now on, while he can become Grand Supreme Elders of our Three Pure Ones Palace. Our Three Pure Ones Palace possesses numerous divine-level Cultivation Method and countless scriptures, which will greatly benefit his growth. What do you think?"
The conditions at the Three Pure Ones Palace are even better than those at the Five Luminaries Palace. Lu Changsheng can still maintain his status as the Taihua Saint, but he cannot take charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground.
In addition, Lu Changsheng can serve as the Grand Supreme Elders of the Three Pure Ones Palace.
In this way, Lu Changsheng can simultaneously possess the identities of the Taihua Sacred Ground and the Three Pure Ones Palace.
"That's the Three Pure Ones Palace! Among the Eight Divine Palaces, it ranks among the top three, second only to the Mira Palace. It's an honor for Lu Changsheng to receive an invitation from the Three Pure Ones Palace."
"It's rare to find a place like Three Pure Ones Palace that doesn't require the other party to relinquish their identity as a member of the Taihua Sacred Ground."
"It is said that the Three Pure Ones Palace has a Myriad Treasures Hall, which contains countless Cultivation Method and a vast collection of ancient texts, all of which are priceless treasures. It would be a great honor to join the Three Pure Ones Palace for cultivation."
Why can't I have such an opportunity?
The geniuses from various Holy Lands and Aristocratic Clan were filled with envy.
Being able to join the Three Pure Ones Palace is already a rare opportunity, not to mention the generous conditions offered by the Three Pure Ones Palace.
"Our Northern Dipper Palace can use the best resources to nurture this child."
"Our Miaoyan Palace is willing to offer ten Grade Twenty-First-Grade Divine Pills in exchange for Young Friend Lu joining us."
"Our Cloud Tower Palace can teach Young Friend Lu our Sect-Defending Cultivation Method."
Besides the Three Pure Ones Palace and the Five Luminaries Palace, the other four first-class divine Divine Palaces and other powerful Divine Palaces all extended invitations to Lu Changsheng to join them.
Although some of the Divine Palaces are not as prestigious as the Eight Divine Palaces, they are still ancient and possess unique Sect-Defending Cultivation Method and treasures, which they all want to share in.
One should always have dreams.
What if Lu Changsheng were willing to join their Divine Palace?
Of the Eight Divine Palaces, apart from the Mira Palace where the Imperial Son resides and the Profound Maiden Palace which only accepts female disciples, the other six great Divine Palaces all extended invitations to Lu Changsheng in advance.
In addition, more than fifty powerful divine Divine Palaces, hoping for the best, invited Lu Changsheng to join their palaces.
"This matter depends on Changsheng's own thoughts."
Lin Xuantong didn't want to offend powerful Divine Palaces like the Five Luminaries Palace and the Three Pure Ones Palaces, so he made up an excuse.
Lu Changsheng is preparing to fight the Imperial Son and cannot afford to be distracted by these invitations from the Divine Palaces.
He was about to do something big: defeat the Imperial Son.
Lu Changsheng took advantage of a Simulated Battle to familiarize himself with the Fifth Sword Realm.
"I'm fairly confident now."
A day later, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and had already become familiar with the Fifth Sword Realm.
The Golden-Armored Heavenly General appeared on the Martial Platform and announced the list of participants for the final match, "The final match: Lu Changsheng of Taihua Mountain versus Ku of the Mira Palace!"
The One Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces and numerous Holy Land were instantly abuzz with excitement.
The final competition has begun!
"Keep it up, Master!"
Lu Qinglian clenched her fist, cheering for Lu Changsheng.
"Junior brother, do your best to avoid casualties."
Lin Qinghan also reminded Lu Changsheng.
"Lu Lang..."
Xia Ningxue was filled with worry.
She vaguely sensed Imperial Son Ku's hostility towards Lu Changsheng.
If Imperial Son Ku were to cause Lu Changsheng's Dao Heart to collapse during the competition, that would be disastrous.
"Don't worry."
Lu Changsheng's eyes were firm; he was confident he could defeat Imperial Son Ku.
Lu Changsheng and Imperial Son Ku disappeared from their seats almost simultaneously and arrived at the Martial Platform.
The top genius of the Lower Realm and the top genius of the Heavenly Court Settle the Contest.
"He's no match for Imperial Son Ku; just wait to be utterly thrashed by him."
Feng Mu could only hope that Imperial Son Ku would defeat Lu Changsheng; in that case, he could at least find some solace.
The Elders and disciples of the Mira Palace also had absolute confidence in the Imperial Son.
Imperial Son Ku is Peerless Genius who appears only once in billions of years. He is also the Supreme Emperor Body of the Heavenly Emperor Lineage. This Supreme Emperor Body is almost identical to that of the Heavenly Emperor.
"For Your Highness to fight him is like Dimensionality-Reduction Strike; he is destined to lose."
"No one his age can defeat His Imperial Son."
"The Imperial Son will crush all geniuses in the Lower Realms and establish supreme authority."
The people of the Mira Palace were old-fashioned and looked down on the genius from the Lower Realm.
Imperial Son Ku, almost completely overwhelmed the geniuses of his era. The gap between other geniuses and the Supreme Emperor Body was too great, which is why the Elders and disciples of the Mira Palace had such faith in Imperial Son Ku.
Not only the Mira Palace, but also the One Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces and various Holy Lands, all favored Imperial Son Ku, while almost no one favored Lu Changsheng.
Although the Eight Divine Palaces admired Lu Changsheng's talent, it didn't mean they believed Lu Changsheng could win. After all, Imperial Son Ku was like a mountain in front of the geniuses born in this era, making them feel powerless.
"What if, I mean, what if, the Saint defeats the Imperial Son..."
An Elder from the Taihua Sacred Ground suddenly spoke, startling everyone.
"Although I hold a sliver of hope, but..." Lin Xuantong smiled bitterly, "It's not very realistic. The Supreme Emperor Body is the strongest physique in our Immortal Realm. In High Antiquity times, powerful figures such as the Devil Master, the Dragon Emperor, and the Buddha all ultimately succumbed to the Supreme Emperor Body. Even though the Imperial Son hasn't fully unlocked the potential of the Supreme Emperor Body yet, it's already remarkable."
"That's true."
After careful consideration, the people of Taihua Mountain concluded that Lu Changsheng's chances of winning were extremely slim.
Even if Lu Changsheng resorts to his old tricks and uses Martial Technique to fight, the Supreme Emperor Body is no less powerful, and may even be stronger.
With his Supreme Emperor Body, the Heavenly Emperor repeatedly defeated powerful enemies in High Antiquity times, and was not restrained by any Special Physique.
This demonstrates the domineering nature of the Supreme Emperor Body.
"Lu Changsheng, it's already commendable that you have the courage to challenge me to a duel. Today, I'll make a bet with you. If you win, I can give you fifty grade Twentieth-Grade Divine Pills."
As soon as Imperial Son Ku opened his mouth, he wanted to make a bet with Lu Changsheng.
The One Hundred Thousand Divine Palaces and numerous Holy Land were all shocked.
Imperial Son Ku, second only to the emperor in the Heavenly Court, what kind of status does he hold? Yet he dares to make a bet with Lu Changsheng?
Do the two have some kind of grudge?
Imperial Son Ku continued, "If you lose, you must give Xia Ningxue to me."
"What?!"
Everyone was even more astonished.
Unexpectedly, Imperial Son Ku's target was Xia Ningxue, one of the Top Eight.
"Whether we succeed or fail, I won't give it up. You should save those Medicinal Pills for when you're injured."
Lu Changsheng's face darkened. As expected Imperial Son Ku was after Xia Ningxue; he was courting death.
It seems I don't need to give him face this time.
