Kill, kill!
The Flame Devil Great Emperor activated a forbidden secret art and charged over with a thunderous strike.
Lu Xuanji counterattacked. At first, he was somewhat tense, but as time passed, he grew increasingly composed.
He had not used an immortal artifact, the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure, or the Pure Yang Broken Sword. Many powerful killing moves, ultimate techniques, trump cards, forbidden secret arts, and so on remained unused. Yet the Flame Devil Great Emperor was already on the verge of collapse, nearly beaten into a dead dog by him.
"A mere Tribulation Transcendence expert, and this is all the cultivation you possess? You're quite the counterfeit."
"You seem rather undeserving of your reputation."
Disappointment flashed through Lu Xuanji's eyes, as if he were experiencing the shattering of an idol.
It was like someone being an obsessive fan of a certain celebrity, only to suffer the shattering of their idol the moment they truly met that celebrity.
That celebrity was not special at all. They were little different from an ordinary person and even had quite a few flaws.
During the exchange, Lu Xuanji had been tense, uneasy, and awed.
But once they truly clashed, the threat the Flame Devil Great Emperor posed to him was not as immense as he had imagined. Setting aside his perfected profound meaning, his battle techniques, combat level, physical strength, Divine Soul strength, and so on were merely on the same level as Shi Xue's. Compared with that Holy Light Princess, he was even a notch inferior.
He was deeply disappointed.
Once certain halos had faded, Lu Xuanji looked at the Flame Devil Great Emperor again and seemed to understand many things.
Whether one could become a Dao Integration cultivator or a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator was no longer related to aptitude or talent.
