The moment the thunderclouds appeared, Lu Bei sensed the will of heaven and earth descending.
No one else—it had come solely for him.
His prediction had been wrong. Seeing Madam Shi Yin's delicate, soft appearance, as though anyone with hands could push her down, he had made her his first target.
Who could have imagined that the magic treasure's defenses would be so powerful? Without going all out, it was impossible to break through.
The formation diagram's seal cut off the void. With the Twelve Divine Generals reinforcing and guarding it, entry was permitted but exit was forbidden. There was practically no possibility of breaking through from the inside, leaving him only two choices.
Use the Nine Years Qi Circulation Method to temporarily avoid the edge of the Heavenly Tribulation and leave the mess for Gu Zongchen to clean up.
Or immediately switch to the Ten-Eyed Great Demon, blast the entire battlefield apart, and steamroll Six Rens Mountain.
No matter which he chose, it meant fifty billion experience points evaporating into thin air. That hurt even more than Lu Bei losing ten taels of silver, so he chose a third option.
Speed up!
While the Heavenly Tribulation was not paying attention, break through Dao Venerable Guangfa and Du'e Lingwang at top speed, then shrink down and pretend nothing had happened.
Fortune was found amid danger. Lu Bei thought it was worth a try.
Golden light flashed. He charged into the Hell Red Lotus world, flickering through layer upon layer of space like teleportation, and arrived before Du'e Lingwang in a single step. His five fingers rose and clamped onto the golden Buddha's face. Burning his mana without regard for the consequences, he unleashed an Immortal Sword Light that had accumulated Dao Rhyme, erupting with endless, dazzling radiance.
Boundless might tore
