The Thousand-Handed Demon Saint Reaches Great Perfection; Despair Spreads, and Lu Changsheng Makes His Move!

But thanks to everyone's efforts, it remained impregnable.

And so, the killing lasted for seven days and seven nights.

All the monks had become numb.

And no new demons have appeared at the Six Ancient Gates.

After the last Immortal Venerable Realm demon was killed, everything seemed to return to calm.

But among the 600,000 cultivators, there was no joy or laughter, because they were unsure whether it was over.

"Brother Lu."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince approached Lu Changsheng somewhat wearily. He didn't ask anything, but the doubt in his eyes said it all.

"It's still unclear, so we can't let our guard down."

Lu Changsheng was also unsure of the current situation. He could only warn everyone not to let their guard down, because under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to pass so easily.

But now everything is calm, and we really don't know what will happen next.

Time passed little by little.

Lu Changsheng was not idle either. He gained the most from this great battle. With everyone doing their best, he mastered thirty-six supreme immortal techniques. Some cultivators had been keeping them to themselves, but at the crucial moment, they could no longer hide them.

Among the 600,000 cultivators, there is no shortage of geniuses from the Imperial Clan Family, nor is there a shortage of geniuses from the Ten Great Holy Lands. There are all kinds of cultivators, but their fame is not as great as that of Supreme Mysterious and the Golden Crow Crown Prince.

Therefore, their brilliance was suppressed, but it did not affect Lu Changsheng's learning of the ultimate techniques.

One hour!

Three hours!

Nine hours!

Three days and three nights!

After three days and three nights of perseverance, all the cultivators took turns recovering their energy and spirits, and before they knew it, they breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief...

The Six Ancient Gates trembled once again.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

As the roar resounded, at this moment it was no longer the Six Ancient Gates spewing out demons, but the Six Ancient Gates transforming into demonic energy.

In the end, six demons, each a thousand feet tall, evolved.

"They are demons from the Immortal Saint Realm!"

Someone screamed, immediately recognizing the aura of a celestial being.

Indeed, this was the aura of a celestial being, each wisp of which crushed the space. The terrifying aura enveloped the golden Round Plate, and at this moment, the 600,000 cultivators felt a sense of despair.

Immortal Saint!

This is another level.

Among the 600,000 cultivators, the highest level was only the Great Perfection of Immortal Venerable, but in front of Immortal Saint, that was really not enough.

Only True Dragon prodigies can contend against immortal saints.

Moreover, it's one immortal saint, which is fine.

Six celestial saints appeared in one go; this is truly despairing.

"Don't panic!"

Lu Changsheng's voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the space and calming everyone down.

"Brother Golden Crow, Brother Peacock, the two of you join forces to suppress a Celestial Saint."

"Brother Xuanji, Champion Marquis, the two of you have joined forces to suppress a Celestial Saint."

Lu Changsheng spoke repeatedly, urging everyone to join forces to suppress the Immortal Saint. They were all peerless geniuses on the True Dragon Ranking, and their strength was comparable to that of an Immortal Saint. If they joined forces, there would be a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Good! I have never fought against a celestial being before. Win or lose today, it's all worth it."

Supreme Mysterious nodded. He showed no fear; on the contrary, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"A cross-border war? Very well, very well!"

Champion Marquis is also full of expectations.

"If we win this battle, we will be worthy of being listed on the True Dragon Ranking."

Star Child and Xu Qing both spoke up.

Now, facing this life-or-death situation, everyone has set aside all prejudices and is proving their resolve through battle.

"Little sister Ye, you have to be careful later, don't hold your big sister back."

Liu Ruyan chuckled and spoke up, but Ye Rujin said, "I hope it's not you who's holding us back."

The crowd spoke, their tone light, but they all knew that this battle was not as simple as they had imagined, even though they were the pride of the True Dragon Ranking.

They were also confident that they could fight against immortals and saints.

Having confidence and actually having overcome challenges are two different concepts.

Before an exam, everyone is confident that they can get a perfect score, but whether they can actually get a perfect score can only be known after the exam.

Therefore, only by fighting can we know whether we can win.

Lu Changsheng arranged the twelve people into two teams to suppress the six Immortal Saints.

"The rest of you, listen to my command. I will set up a great formation. Those below the Immortal Venerable level, exert all your strength and empower yourselves with all your immortal power. We cannot lose this battle. Immortal Venerable cultivators, gather your strength and be ready to finish off the rest at any time. Do you all understand?"

Lu Changsheng spoke with utmost seriousness.

This battle is one we absolutely cannot afford to lose.

If we can't win, we'll be in big trouble.

If the fight is won, then everything is settled.

"As the Heavenly Emperor commands."

Six hundred thousand voices resounded through the sky at that moment.

"Kill!"

The next moment, Lu Changsheng uttered the word "kill".

The Golden Crow Crown Prince and twelve others charged straight in.

"Azure Cloud Great Hand Seal!"

"Ten Suns in the Sky!"

"Annihilation Divine Art!"

"Water Control Divine Art!"

"The Void Ancient Tower!"

"Holy Light Demon Slaying Art!"

A terrifying killing move was unleashed, tens of thousands of beams of immortal light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire void with blinding brilliance.

Beneath the golden Round Plate.

Hundreds of immortals joined forces to avenge the damage.

Boom boom boom!

The six immortal saints and demons opened their eyes. Their appearance was terrifying. They had a hundred hands, like centipedes, and gently patted, shattering a piece of void.

However, the twelve Golden Crow Crown Prince were completely fearless. Their fighting spirit was boundless, and they charged straight at the enemy.

This battle was incredibly terrifying, and the fighting was extremely fierce.

A sage is a sage.

Even for a peerless genius, crossing a major realm is extremely difficult.

Gu Zhentian condensed an ancient Void Ancient Tower and shattered the palm of a celestial saint demon, but was quickly slapped away, his bones breaking. However, in an instant, his body emitted a strange light, self-repairing itself, and then continued to attack.

These peerless geniuses all possess healing magic; they couldn't possibly die so easily.

Six hundred thousand cultivators watched all of this intently, gathering their immortal power to bless whoever was injured.

Everyone was extremely nervous.

Because if we lose, it will be a catastrophe.

Although Lu Changsheng was there, no one knew what level of Lu Changsheng he was at.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng stood under the ancient tree, circulating the Heavenly Emperor Law to completely refine the thirty-six Daoist techniques he had mastered.

For some inexplicable reason, he always felt that things might not be so simple.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Star Child was blasted away and crashed onto the golden Round Plate.

He was coughing up blood and had suffered extremely serious injuries.

Lu Changsheng immediately infused him with streams of life force and simultaneously extracted some of the sacred spring water to heal his injuries.

In an instant, the Holy Spring blessed him, and Star Child was stunned. He felt the abundant life force repairing his injuries. In just ten breaths, Star Child recovered.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor!"

Star Child stood up and sincerely thanked Lu Changsheng. In fact, he knew that Lu Changsheng didn't need to save him at all. Even without him, Lu Changsheng could suppress a powerful Immortal Saint. But Lu Changsheng was still willing to save him.

So he was grateful, but the next moment, he struck again to fight the enemy.

The battle was terrifying and shocking; even the Golden Crow Crown Prince was injured, let alone the others.

Liu Ruyan was covered in blood, and Ye Rujin was in no better shape, but the two joined forces without any barriers and forcefully blasted away the immortals, saints, demons and monsters.

"The Great Sun Breaking Evil!"

Finally, the Golden Crow Crown Prince roared, his essence, energy, and spirit becoming one, and an Innate Divine Fire appeared, transforming into a palm-sized sun, which directly struck the latter.

The flames burned, consuming the space around them, and struck the immortal, saintly, and demonic figure.

Roar!

A roar rang out, but it was to no avail; the immortal saint and demon were dead, burned alive.

"Good!"

"The Golden Crow Crown Prince lives up to his name; he's incredibly powerful!"

"He's really strong, a true powerhouse of our time."

"Great, that's wonderful."

As Golden Crow Crown Prince slew a demon, the crowd erupted in cheers, their morale boosted beyond measure.

Everyone was overjoyed, as it relieved some of the pressure.

Swish!

Two streams of holy spring water shot out directly from the Exquisite Pagoda, falling onto the Golden Crow Crown Prince and the Supreme Mysterious, healing their injuries and restoring their vital energy.

The two recovered quickly from their injuries and then went back to the battlefield.

They went to help Ye Rujin and Liu Ruyan.

Having dealt with one immortal, saint, demon, or monster, things became much easier afterward.

Ye Rujin, the Golden Crow Crown Prince, and the other three joined forces to suppress the second Immortal Saint Demon in less than a quarter of an hour. Afterward, the four did not stop but went to help the others.

After a full hour...

After the last immortal, saint, demon, and monster was slain, an unprecedented battle finally came to a complete end.

In the void.

Golden Crow Crown Prince, Ye Rujin, Champion Marquis, Supreme Mysterious Gu Zhentian, Star Child, Xingchenzi, Xu Qing, Golden Flood Dragon King Peacock King, Liu Ruyan, Old Buddhist Monk, and Xu Heng.

There were twelve people in total, but Xu Heng was always in the crowd. He was a prodigy from the Primal Chaos Holy Land and had only said one sentence before, without targeting Lu Changsheng and the others too much.

Eleven peerless geniuses, along with an old monk, joined forces and indeed created a truly spectacular battle.

"It was exhilarating, exhilarating, so incredibly exhilarating! To be able to fight against a Celestial Saint has greatly enhanced my combat abilities. Excellent, very good. The only pity is that I didn't fight alone."

Gu Zhentian spoke, feeling extremely pleased. He was a martial arts fanatic, and he had indeed shown no fear whatsoever before.

"It was indeed exhilarating, but it's a pity that it wasn't a one-man show."

Champion Marquis nodded. He had fought fiercely in this battle, using almost all his trump cards, but he still felt that he couldn't fight alone and that it wasn't quite satisfying.

Of course, this is just talk. If he were to fight a Celestial Saint alone and had no way to escape, he would surely die, since that was a Celestial Saint, not some half-step Celestial Saint.

The difference between a Celestial Venerable and a Celestial Saint is only one realm, but in reality, the difference is vast, like a chasm that is difficult to cross.

Two Immortal Venerables slaying one Immortal Saint is already an extremely terrifying achievement; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to boast about it for ten thousand years.

"This battle made me realize the gap between me and an Immortal Saint. It's a pity that I haven't tempered my Innate Divine Fire yet. Otherwise, I'm confident that I could kill an Immortal Saint all by myself."

When the Golden Crow Crown Prince spoke, his words shocked countless cultivators. No one doubted what the Golden Crow Crown Prince said, just as no one questioned Lu Changsheng's good looks.

"The Five Colors Immortal Light is not yet at the Mahayana; otherwise, I could have fought a Celestial Saint alone."

However, the Peacock King's voice soon rang out, and he spoke with even greater confidence.

It must be said that among the twelve, the Peacock King's strength truly shocked everyone, because the Peacock King's strength was no weaker than that of the other True Dragon prodigies except for the Golden Crow Crown Prince.

The Five Colors Immortal Light indeed terrifyingly powerful. Moreover, legend has it that its true Divine Ability isn't striking enemies, but rather looting treasures. It can directly steal an enemy's Law Treasure; once mastered, it can loot anything.

Therefore, if everyone survives, the Peacock King's ranking will definitely be included in the True Dragon Ranking.

"In any case, this great battle was truly exhilarating, and we have completely escaped danger, which is worth celebrating."

Supreme Mysterious spoke, a smile on his face, and said this.

"Indeed, but I've been waiting for this Heavenly Emperor Lu to make a move. I didn't expect all the trouble to be resolved. It's a bit of a pity."

Gu Zhentian spoke slowly, while looking at Lu Changsheng.

In fact, Gu Zhentian's words were not sarcastic; he just couldn't help but say them.

"Brother Gu, Brother Lu also contributed a lot. If it weren't for his command, we wouldn't have been able to turn danger into safety. The previous grudges are nothing. We can turn hostility into friendship."

Star Child spoke up immediately, saying that he was willing to befriend Lu Changsheng.

"Yes, Brother Lu, although you haven't shown your strength, it must be quite formidable. Moreover, it was Brother Lu who helped us when we were injured. I, Xu Qing, will remember this kindness. Thank you, Brother Lu."

Xu Qing also spoke up. He didn't have any ill feelings towards Lu Changsheng. The previous fight was nothing more than a small quarrel on the surface. After seeing Lu Changsheng's appearance, they actually felt a little regretful for some reason.

Why should they antagonize Lu Changsheng? Now, taking advantage of this opportunity, they want to actively befriend Lu Changsheng, turn enemies into friends, and transform hostility into harmony.

"Yes, yes, we have been through thick and thin together. What do our past grievances and conflicts matter? Let's turn hostility into friendship."

Liu Ruyan also spoke up.

"Brother Lu, I hope you will forgive my previous rude remarks."

At that moment, the Champion Marquis spoke up. His voice was not loud, and he did not say much. His words of apology were enough to show his sincerity.

"Although I don't like this peacock, we were indeed a bit rash before. I apologize to Brother Lu."

The Golden Flood Dragon King also spoke, appearing very forthright.

"Hmph, since you can't stand it, let's have a fight after we get out!" the Peacock King sneered.

"Alright! Whoever loses is the younger brother!"

"The Golden Flood Dragon King said earnestly."

"OK!"

The Peacock King readily agreed, a gesture that brought a smile to the faces of the assembled cultivators.

Gu Zhentian remained silent. He felt inexplicably distressed. One by one, his friends had betrayed him, making him feel like he was no longer human.

Gu Zhentian was feeling very upset. He actually wanted to befriend Lu Changsheng, after all, who wouldn't want to befriend someone so handsome? But Gu Zhentian took a deep breath, feeling that he couldn't lose face.

Gritting his teeth, refusing to admit defeat even in the face of death, Gu Zhentian, with tears in his eyes, shouldered everything alone.

Lu Changsheng didn't care about any of that. To be honest, he was quite happy to finally get a villain, at least it put some pressure on him.

Now that there's pressure, I need to give it my all. Otherwise, continuing to be a couch potato won't be good for me.

However, while everyone was still enjoying this slightly relaxed environment...

Suddenly, someone pointed into the void, their face filled with horror.

"Look, what's going on here?"

As the sound rang out, instantly, pairs of eyes turned to the void.

In the collapsing void, the demons whose bodies had been shattered actually coalesced together, and a terrifying aura of death also condensed in an instant.

At this moment, countless cultivators took a deep breath, watching all of this with their hearts trembling.

"Click-click-click-click!"

A terrifying sound rang out, and the aura of death condensed, revealing a gigantic phantom figure that appeared in everyone's sight.

A terrifying pressure permeated the air, and at that moment everyone felt an unprecedented sense of pressure.

"A Celestial Saint! Another Celestial Saint!"

Some people exclaimed in surprise, finding it unbelievable.

Indeed, it was the aura of a celestial being that enveloped the entire golden Round Plate. Everyone was astonished and could not believe that there was still one.

"Even if six more Immortal Saints appear, so what?"

Champion Marquis's voice rang out; he was incredibly confident and still willing to fight.

"That's right, what can six more Immortal Saints do?"

Supreme Mysterious nodded as well, showing no fear.

"Let alone six, even if a mid-stage Immortal Saint cultivator came, we could still defeat him if we worked together."

The Golden Flood Dragon King said with unwavering confidence.

"We have nothing to fear in the later stages. The twelve of us, along with six hundred thousand cultivators, and Brother Lu, together we might not be able to defeat them."

The Peacock King was also incredibly confident.

Indeed, if everyone works together, even a demon at the late stage of immortal sainthood would be a match for them.

But if it's a Celestial Saint at the Great Perfection, it's terrifying.

"That's right, even a late-stage Immortal Saint is fine. Could it be that a demon at the Great Perfection Immortal Saint will appear?"

Gu Zhentian also spoke, and he said with absolute confidence.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Changsheng realized he was in trouble.

Boom boom boom!

In an instant, a Thousand Hands Demon Saint appeared in the void. This Demon Saint was terrifying, standing a thousand feet tall with a thousand hands, each holding a Law Treasure. He stood in the void, surrounded by surging demonic energy, deathly aura, and an ominous presence.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the Thousand Hands Demon Saint opened his eyes, his ten demonic eyes bursting open and unleashing a terrifying aura of death, directly bombarding the golden Round Plate. The Heaven Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda trembled, trying to block the attack, but in an instant, the pagoda shook and became somewhat unable to withstand it.

Because this is a terrifying being who Great Perfection of Immortal Saint status.

It makes one utterly despairing.

But for a moment, Golden Crow Crown Prince and the others couldn't help but look at Gu Zhentian.

The latter was stunned.

He never expected that a demon at the Great Perfection would actually appear.

This is simply unbelievable.

"It's completely over."

When Star Child spoke, he too felt despair.

They could defeat them in the early stages of becoming Immortal Saints.

They can even defeat mid-stage Immortal Saints.

At the late stage of Immortal Saint, the twelve individuals plus 600,000 cultivators, along with Lu Changsheng, would be a force to be reckoned with.

Reaching the Great Perfection Immortal Saint is an absolutely terrifying leap. Not to mention the Immortal Saint Realm, even the transformation at each level of the Immortal Venerable Realm is a hundredfold increase, let alone the Immortal Saint realm.

While everyone was still in shock and disbelief.

Lu Changsheng sighed.

"Sigh! Just as I expected."

Lu Changsheng sighed; he had guessed all of this.

As expected, we still had to take action.

There's no way I can get away with this now.

He didn't say anything, but his whole body floated into the air.

"Brother Lu?"

"Senior Brother Lu?"

Everyone was surprised, wondering what Lu Changsheng was up to.

However, the next moment, another scene appeared that Supreme Mysterious would never forget.

There will be one more update. I'll go to sleep after I finish writing this.
