A major incident [Two chapters in one]
People are lost in thought; who is this?
He had a head of white hair, wore coarse linen clothes, and reached one hand into the blood-red sun, injuring Pu Heng right away!
Pu Heng's status was so high that he was known as "Little Cao Qianqiu".
He imitated his teacher in every way, and objectively speaking, his skill level was indeed terrifyingly high!
He walks outside with Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light, causing many people's bodies to tremble involuntarily.
However, this person who stood at the foot of the Ancestor's steps is now suffering a huge loss.
His skull was splitting open.
Everyone was frozen in shock, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Qin Ming was filled with excitement; Senior Brother Lu had indeed arrived.
On that day, Lu Zizai only said one simple sentence, "I will risk my life to fight for the Auspicious Beast Blood, and I will surely protect your fairness!"
Now, he is fulfilling his promise.
He was calm, confident, and powerful, pressing Pu Heng down with one hand.
Pu Heng's Divine Statue come from Hell, making people feel extremely uncomfortable, filled with intense malice and chilling coldness.
Outside his body, the crimson Great Sun boiled, and runes flickered in his Consciousness Spirit Light, transforming into countless lightsabers that tried to shred the giant hand.
However, Lu Zizai's arm was radiating a dense Heavenly Light Force, even more dazzling than the Scorching Sun. The light swords that were slashed down were shattered and then ignited.
With a loud thud, Pu Heng's head shattered!
In full view of everyone, Lu Zizai crushed his head.
This was no less than a volcanic eruption or a hurricane passing through; the entire plateau trembled slightly.
"That... that's Cao Bubai's personal disciple!" someone exclaimed in shock.
Many more people were pale-faced and swaying as they quickly retreated into the distance, the oppressive atmosphere at the eye of the storm suffocating them.
One crimson glow after another bloomed in the night sky, which was Pu Heng's Consciousness Spirit Light re-condensing.
This is the terrifying aspect of the Immortal Path: once one realizes the Pure Yang level, one possesses a degree of immortality. Even if one is torn to pieces or even explodes on the spot, one can still reappear.
"Lu Zizai!" Pu Heng's enormous face manifested, its crimson light illuminating the dark night sky, exuding a sense of oppression, much like the sunset of the "Old World," dyeing half the sky red.
Aside from those who Grandmaster Level, he was also a figure standing at the forefront, yet he was "manipulated" like this, receiving a direct "head pat."
There's no worse experience than this!
Pu Heng couldn't remember the last time he had experienced something similarly humiliating.
High in the sky, his Consciousness Spirit Light shot out and instantly flooded down.
Looking into the distance, it looked as if fragments of meteorites from Beyond Heaven were burning, piercing the night sky, leaving long trails of light, and bombarding the figure below.
Many people felt terrified, realizing their own insignificance.
Pu Heng needs no words now. As Cao Qianqiu's eldest disciple, only by destroying his opponent can he wash away the humiliation he has suffered.
Lu Zizai stood on the ground, completely calm, and made a gesture of drawing a Sword-Drawing from behind his back. There was nothing there before, but now intense Heavenly Light appeared, rising from his back, followed by bursts of dragon roars.
With a clang, a greatsword materialized, emerging from his back, formed from the Scorching Sun Heavenly Light Manifestation.
People were awestruck as a massive dragon soared into the sky, incredibly thick and possessing an invincible sharpness, reaching straight into the heavens.
Lu Zizai gripped its tail, swung the Dragon Sword, and cleaved the night sky!
All the Beyond Heaven, meteor-like Consciousness Spirit Light exploded at this moment, incinerated into ashes by the Heavenly Light carried by the enormous Dragon Sword.
Moreover, with a soft "poof," the enormous face in the sky was split in two.
Then, his face exploded again!
Pu Heng let out a painful groan. This time, part of his Consciousness Spirit Light was permanently destroyed, and his immortality did not fully withstand the damage.
In an instant, the shattered Pure Yang Power trembled violently in the night sky.
The power of consciousness, like the glow of the setting sun, raged relentlessly, sweeping across the heavens and the earth, far more terrifying than a real hurricane.
At this moment, the earth was torn apart, and the night fog was in turmoil, affecting a wide area!
Pu Heng's Pure Yang Light no longer took human form, but transformed into clouds and mist, sweeping away the remaining clouds, drawing in the Nine Heavens Pure Qi, and connecting with the energy of the Ancestral Vein of the earth.
He was connecting heaven and earth, forming a millstone of clouds, one pressing down from the night sky, the other rising from the ground, spinning wildly, trying to crush his opponent into blood and gore.
This magnificent spectacle stirs the hearts of many, making them feel as if they are there, even from a great distance, and fearful of being among those destroyed.
Lu Zizai silently between heaven and earth, the enormous Dragon Sword in his hand vanishing.
People were terrified. The Nine Heavens Pure Qi and the Ancestral Vein energy of the earth were merging together, and heaven and earth seemed to be rapidly converging, about to merge and destroy everything.
Lu Zizai slapped one hand towards the night sky and the other hand towards the ground.
The dense, Nine Heavens Pure Qi exploded violently, and the ancestral energy of the earth's veins was also shattered.
Everyone was stunned, feeling deeply shocked.
The giant millstone of clouds and mist seemed to represent heaven and earth, but it was pierced through by a seemingly tiny figure in the middle with his bare hands, causing it to disintegrate with a crash.
Pu Heng's enormous face reappeared, but it was dimmer than before, and another portion of his Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light was permanently extinguished.
However, this time, as soon as he manifested, he was attacked again.
Lu Zizai's Heavenly Light Force surged forth, like a Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light, transforming into a giant hand in the night sky, which slapped that face with a bang.
Crimson clouds splashed everywhere, and the enormous face shattered. Pu Heng took a solid hit, as if endless fiery clouds were surging within him.
"You..." He was enraged, and in front of everyone, he was slapped across the face.
Lu Zizai slapped him in public, which was very damaging and extremely humiliating.
This area has caused astonishment from all sides.
No one expected such a thing to happen.
"You have a big face," Lu Zizai said.
Then, he calmly looked at the night sky and said, "Who gave you the audacity to say those battle records were fabricated? You think you can cover up the truth and distort the Black and White?"
Lu Zizai's white hair was disheveled, and he looked more weathered than before, but Qin Ming knew that this was the old body he wanted to shed, not a new one.
People's emotions were in turmoil; he was standing up for the young people on their New Life Path.
A mere young Outer Saint has managed to attract the attention of such a great figure!
Qin Ming's exposure in this way caused a great stir.
Many people heard his name for the first time; before that, he was completely unknown.
In Kunling, some of the geniuses from various universities showed expressions of astonishment.
To their surprise, they discovered that they had met Qin Ming before, and when they explored the Secret Realm together, they had refused his request to join their party.
Apart from a few people like Jiang Ruoli, Liu Hannya, and Gan Jincheng, the other geniuses only learned today that his background was so terrifying.
For a moment, they were all stunned. Thinking back on what had happened that day, they had thought he was a burden and that he was faking enlightenment. Now, they felt their faces burning with shame.
"And that Wu Yaozu, he was also a boy from back then!"
Zhao Muyao, Wang Lijie, and a group of other outstanding geniuses were stunned. The two boys they had politely declined had both received more than two portions of Auspicious Beast Blood.
In fact, Qin Ming's achievements surpassed those of Immortal Seed and God Seed.
"You want to oppose my Pure Land?" Pu Heng's enormous head was like a mountain, and his words made the night sky tremble.
Many people felt uneasy, as if the world was about to collapse.
"Do you represent the Beyond the Mundane Pure Land?" Lu Zizai asked.
He raised his right hand, and all five fingers glowed, each shooting out a Heavenly Light Force as bright as the Scorching Sun, like five golden chains, rapidly spreading into the dark night sky.
Pu Heng's Consciousness Spirit Light could gather and disperse invisibly, coming and going without a trace, but now, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being locked on.
He Chongxiao into the sky, wanting to escape this place.
However, the five golden Heavenly Light Divine Chains transformed into five golden dragons, broke away from Lu Zizai, and disappeared into the depths of the clouds, catching up with him.
With a whoosh, the Five Dragons Locked His Body, binding him and quickly dragging him down.
This scene sent shivers down everyone's spines. Lu Zizai on the New Life Path was simply incredibly powerful; was there no difference between his Heavenly Light and the Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light?
Pu Heng was seething with anger. In their brief exchange, he hadn't had a single smooth moment, suffering repeated heavy losses, and now he was even more restrained.
He struggled violently, transforming into a blazing red Great Sun, trying to break free of his shackles.
The five dragons raised their heads, each tightening their grip on him, their heads biting and tearing apart the red Great Sun, carrying him towards the plateau.
"This..." Many people found it hard to believe. How could Pu Heng have been captured alive in such a short time?
The Immortal Path Disciple were all numb. Wasn't it said that their path had all the advantages, allowing them to look down on all New Life Evolver?
What they saw today completely overturned their understanding; the white-haired youth named Lu Zizai had a tremendous impact on them.
Those on the New Life Path are experiencing an unprecedented surge of emotion, feeling for the first time: the path of our generation can be so powerful!
It should be noted that Lu Zizai did not defeat an ordinary Beyond the Mundane People, but the renowned chief disciple of Cao Qianqiu. Such a feat is of extremely high value.
"Lu Zizai, are you going to wage war against my Immortal Path for the sake of a young man on the New Life Path?" Pu Heng asked, already falling to the ground.
Five great dragons had him bound, and no matter how he Thousand Transformations, he couldn't escape. He was now terrified.
"You're not worthy." Lu Zizai slapped him across the face, sending him sprawling on the spot.
Moreover, this time, Pu Heng failed to escape after disintegrating and was still surrounded by five great dragons, which imprisoned his entire consciousness within them.
"You..." The crimson glow he exuded dimmed further, and even his so-called immortal qualities could not withstand the repeated blows.
If this continues, he'll be worn down to death, or even die suddenly.
"You don't have Cao Qianqiu's life, but you've contracted his illness. Are you trying to show off your domineering nature? You're far too hostile towards our path. You deserve to be beaten, you deserve to be executed!"
Lu Zizai finished speaking, the Nine Phoenixes wrapped around his feet, Heavenly Light was extremely dazzling. He kicked out, and with a bang, Pu Heng exploded!
Many people stared in disbelief. What a ruthless person! He kicked Pu Heng to pieces with one kick; it was incredibly shocking.
Pu Heng was extremely arrogant. After being powerful for so many years, he finally met his match.
His capture and brutal beating sent shivers down everyone's spines; some were filled with turmoil, while others were brimming with patriotic fervor.
Only Pu Heng knew how devastating his losses were.
Lu Zizai's attack was incredibly terrifying, actually managing to sever his immortality attribute; he had already lost 20% of his Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light.
If this gets out, it will definitely terrify the people in the Beyond the Mundane.
"Where do you get the audacity to look down on my New Life Path?" Lu Zizai placed one foot on Pu Heng and looked down at him.
Without a doubt, this scene will be permanently etched in everyone's hearts.
No matter how many years pass, Pu Heng can never wash away this shame.
"Trying to cut off New Life Path?" Lu Zizai asked.
Resources in this world are limited. Even the living environment of ordinary people needs improvement. The population is constantly expanding, and Fire Spring are becoming scarce. These are all major problems. Moreover, the various paths are in competition with each other. Otherwise, the higher-ups would not have prepared for Great Wilderness Expansion.
On the New Life Path, there aren't that many truly outstanding individuals, but the overall pool is enormous.
Because many ordinary people can take this path; no special talent is required.
The prospects for New Life Path are indeed rather bleak; for ordinary people, the only way to become stronger in the first stage is through mutation.
From the Second Realm onwards, their progress became even slower.
The Cao Qianqiu lineage harbors more than just deep prejudice against New Life Path; this can be seen from their suppression of Overlord, revealing their strong hostility.
Pu Heng was naturally influenced by his teacher.
A silver mace appeared in Lu Zizai's hand, and with a bang, it caused the person beneath his feet to explode once again.
Pu Heng's Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light multiple times. Besides feeling extremely humiliated, he was also terrified, knowing that if things continued like this, he would face Life and Death Tribulation.
Lu Zizai stopped talking and focused on attacking Pu Heng, trying to destroy his Pure Yang Consciousness. Many people could see that he was going to cripple him!
"Lu Zizai, show mercy where you can." At this moment, an old man appeared, with a full head of silver hair, a fair complexion, and deep-set eyes.
Many Immortal Path Disciple were greatly shocked. Another important figure had arrived. This was Wei Yunqi, the second disciple of Sun Taichu, and the person in the first row below the Ancestor's platform!
"The punishment isn't enough!" Lu Zizai said.
"Lu Zizai, even your Six Royals Ancestor are no longer capable, yet you dare to be so insolent? Let go of my senior Senior Brother!"
In the distance, two blinding beams of light appeared, like two comets bombarding the earth from Beyond Heaven, plunging towards the dark earth with an aura of destruction.
People trembled with fear. Some experts recognized that within those two clusters of Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light were two powerful disciples of Cao Qianqiu.
They arrived in an instant and attacked Lu Zizai.
At the same time, Sun Taichu's second disciple Wei Yunqi, also stepped forward, his Consciousness Spirit Light illuminating the sky.
"Trying to gang up on us?"
Come here!
Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan stepped forward, their sleeves fluttering, and with a loud boom, they shattered the night mist, meeting the two figures that were swooping down.
In an instant, the Heavenly Light above Chongxiao, Pure Yang Power surged, and several masters clashed fiercely.
"It's alright, both of you please step back and let them come over!" Lu Zizai said.
At the same time, he knocked Wei Yunqi back with one palm and lifted Pu Heng up with the other.
"Ah..."
Pu Heng screamed in agony, a stark contrast to his usual domineering and forceful demeanor. At this moment, he struggled violently, and the sound was like a wail.
Everyone's expression changed. Was Lu Zizai about to do something big?!
He unleashed a thunderous and violent attack, seizing most of Pu Heng's Consciousness Spirit Light in his hand. After the Six Royal Force erupted, flames blazed across the sky, obliterating and dissolving that portion of the crimson light, attempting to utterly destroy it.
Finally, Pu Heng's dim figure re-formed in the night sky, his strength suddenly diminished!
Because a total of 60% of his Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light were severed, he was essentially crippled.
"How dare you do this!" Pu Heng's two junior brothers supported him, both showing expressions of shock and anger.
Lu Zizai said calmly, "So you only allow your faction to act domineeringly and don't allow others to fight back, is that it? Today I won't tolerate you. I'll correct your bad habits."
He stood with his hands behind his back, dismissing Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan, and faced the four masters ahead alone.
Some astute old-timers realized that something big was about to happen today, and the storm seemed to have only just begun.
Lu Zizai's standing up for the boy might just be a trigger; his intention to break the silence today is likely to establish his authority on the New Life Path.
Even so, what he did was just the first wave of the trend.
More horrifying events are likely to occur later.
Wei Yunqi spoke up, "Lu Zizai, aren't you afraid of provoking a conflict between the two factions by using such a heavy-handed approach?"
Yu Gensheng, with his fiery temper, couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Who exactly is stirring up trouble? The Actual Combat Record of the young geniuses on our New Life Path are there for all to see, verifiable with Memory Crystal. Anyone with eyes can see it, but that bastard Pu Heng not only wants to smear us, but also wants to stifle the talents on our path. This is outrageous!"
Zhao Ziyuan sneered, "How laughable! He thinks he can control everything, but he doesn't have the ability. He's just making a fool of himself here for no reason."
Instantly, Pu Heng was enveloped in crimson light. Even though he was severely injured, he still wanted to tear those two old men apart.
"If you're not happy, then keep it to yourself, or you'll die." Lu Zizai said calmly, looking at the person opposite him.
Pu Heng and his two junior brothers felt a surge of resentment stuck in their chests, unable to vent their anger. Usually, they were the ones who made others uncomfortable, daring not to speak out against their own rage.
But now, someone is even more domineering than them, making them unable to tolerate it any longer.
"Do it!"
In an instant, Pu Heng's two junior brothers attacked, two blazing Great Sun hanging in the sky, illuminating the night sky as bright as day, and charged forward!
At this moment, Lu Zizai's true body remained still, but four intense beams of Heavenly Light shot out from his body, all transforming into human shapes.
The four emitted boundless light, illuminating the night sky with Heavenly Light.
Some wore Crown Bead Curtain, some held jade tablets, and some had imperial seals hanging beside them. They were all extremely majestic, each stepping on the void as they ascended to heaven.
In an instant, Pu Heng and his two junior brothers, as well as Wei Yunqi, Sun Taichu's second disciple, were all blocked.
"The fusion of Heavenly Light and consciousness allows Spirit Wandering the Great Void?" Those on the New Life Path were incredibly excited upon witnessing this scene, seeing a glimpse of the future.
"Four Royals!"
Some of the Old Senior looked solemn, and even Wei Yunqi, Pu Heng, and others had slight changes in their expressions.
"Is it the Four Royals Force of the Six Royals Ancestral Court?" a young man asked his grandfather.
"No, this represents four realms, or rather, the four beings at the very top of the pyramid, revealed to him by the Heavenly Light. It's somewhat terrifying!"
On the plateau, everyone was terrified.
Lu Zizai did not move his true body, but transformed into Four Royals to fight against the four masters.
In an instant, they were far from this place, deep into the plateau, and rushed into the dark clouds, where the most terrifying battle broke out.
No one expected things to develop to this point!
Everyone was looking out, wanting to watch the battle, but no one dared to venture deep into the plateau for fear of being caught in the crossfire.
The distance was too great; all people could see was the dark clouds being torn apart from time to time, the night fog dissipating, and blinding beams of light, thicker and more dazzling than lightning, streaking across the sky.
Everyone was both afraid and eager to witness that level of epic confrontation, feeling as if a hundred claws were scratching at their hearts.
Immediately, many people turned their attention to Qin Ming. It now seemed that his Actual Combat Record was likely enough to obtain four portions of Auspicious Beast Blood.
"Many people may not know his name, but if we talk about his background, I think many people should have heard of him. He is Abandoned Son of the Cui Household." Someone actually revealed this in secret.
The people in this area were in an uproar; could there really be such a hidden story?
In fact, some prominent Aristocratic Clan knew about this, especially the Cui Household, Li Household, and Wang Family.
The Cui Household family members looked very unpleasant and were extremely uncomfortable.
A mere substitute, Abandoned Son, yet today they are the center of attention, having obtained the most Auspicious Beast Blood. What will outsiders think of the Cui Household?
They felt as if they had been slapped in the face and were deeply offended.
It was especially embarrassing in front of many acquaintances.
What they had suppressed has been brought to light again today.
Back when Qin Ming had not yet risen to prominence and had not achieved any outstanding success on his New Life Path, he was protected by Meng Xinghai. Father Cui and others did not kill him, but they warned him not to set foot in his old circle again and not to return to the presence of his acquaintances from the Aristocratic Clan. But today, he has become famous far and wide.
Qin Ming simply revealed his true appearance and stood there upright and dignified.
Immediately, both acquaintances and those meeting for the first time showed unusual expressions.
How could such a young man be abandoned by the Cui Household?
"It's not the Cui Household's fault. Before embarking on the New Life Path, who knew how many times his body could mutate? This path is very mysterious; the mutated innate talent and the earliest displayed comprehension are not necessarily linked."
However, many people still looked in the direction of the Cui Household, feeling that their losses were quite significant!
"Is it really him? How is that possible!" Zheng Maoze and Zeng Yuan stared wide-eyed, as if they had seen a ghost. They hadn't seen him for a few months, and he had risen rapidly, as if the world had changed.
Boom!
Deep in the plateau, lightning flashed and thunder roared, Astral Wind raged, and the dark clouds in the sky were completely shattered.
The four figures dimmed and swayed precariously before beginning their escape.
"How so?!"
Many cultivators on the Immortal Path were dumbfounded and incredulous that it was actually Wei Yunqi, Pu Heng, and others who were on the run, being pursued by the Four Royals and suffering severe injuries.
How long has it been?
"Isn't it said that the masters of our Immortal Path dominate in the later stages? How come Lu Zizai is so strong!"
Many on the Immortal Path found this outcome hard to accept—four against one and they still couldn't win?
"He is very mysterious, a unique case. It is said that his talent surpasses that of the Six Royals Ancestor!" an elder sighed softly.
Those on the New Life Path had eager eyes; it had been so many years since they had witnessed such an inspiring high-level battle. The predecessors on this path were finally no longer keeping a low profile, and were showing their brilliance.
"You think you can turn the world upside down by leading me away?"
In the distance, a Blood-Red Great Sun blazed across the sky, instantly dispelling the night fog across the entire plateau. Its blinding brilliance and terrifying presence caused many to tremble uncontrollably.
Cao Qianqiu has appeared and arrived at this place!
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; even those from Beyond the Mundane felt more fear than respect for him.
His fame is so great that he is universally disliked and his reputation is overly negative.
However, while everyone curses and hates Cao Qianqiu Cao Qianqiu in their hearts, everyone also wants to be Cao Qianqiu.
"You want to bully the weak?!"
Along the way, a blazing Scorching Sun rose, its form manifesting as pure Heavenly Light Manifestation, its Golden Haze illuminating all directions, its aura terrifying beyond measure.
"The Six Sovereigns... have personally arrived!" An older generation member gasped in astonishment.
Sure enough, everything was foreshadowed; someone was planning something big today.
People from all walks of life immediately began to speculate, and some even strongly suspected that the Ancestor of the New Life Path was nearing the end of his life and was about to shine brightly in his final moments, creating a "peaceful" future!
"Lu Yu, calm down, why be like this!" Sun Taichu appeared, standing in the sky, and strolled over.
Despite this, he was clearly on Cao Qianqiu's side.
With a cold snort, the heavens and earth trembled, as if the entire sky had been torn apart, and an incomparably terrifying curtain of light appeared, as if a giant capable of supporting the heavens was walking towards them.
"Hiss, Sky-Pillar is here!" Even the bigwigs of the Esoteric Sect showed surprise.
"We've been in seclusion for many years, do you all think there are no more Ancestor on the New Life Path?!"
Another brilliant Great Sun rose from the horizon, its Heavenly Light scattering the night fog at the edge of the sky and causing the entire plateau to tremble violently.
