Zong Zongzheng Lie's body was about to fall.
Lu Li did not dare to lower his guard.
With a single stroke, he used his Spiritual Power to sever Zongzheng Lie's head.
He held it in his hand to confirm that his Primordial Spirit had been dispersed by the jade pendant.
Only then did I feel relieved.
"Buzz!"
The fish-shaped jade pendant looked around and quietly floated beside Lu Li.
Before he could even catch his breath...
But then a square seal, no bigger than the palm of a hand, suddenly emerged from Zongzheng Lie's body.
The seal's luster was dim, and its spirit seemed scattered.
It appeared completely powerless, as if it had suffered some severe injury.
Lu Li genuinely sensed that this seal was extraordinary.
Its texture and materials are clearly not ordinary.
Considering Zongzheng Lie's background, Lu Li's pupils flickered slightly.
"It is rumored that the Lord of Jingxi Prefecture holds the Pacify the West Prince's Seal, which is forged from the essence of a sixth-grade spiritual material, a dragon vein ore."
"This item... must be the Pacify the West Prince's Seal!"
"No wonder Zongzheng Lie didn't use this item."
"This thing looks like it's suffered some kind of damage; its spirit is dim, and it'll probably be difficult to even activate."
"Logically speaking, a sixth-tier Law Treasure is only one step away from becoming Spirit Artifact."
Why does it look so devoid of any spirituality?
Lu Li examined the royal seal in his hand.
He learned a lot about cultivation secrets from chatting with Elder Jian on weekdays.
This includes the classification of artifacts.
First to third tier artifacts are called magical Law Artifact.
They possess abilities of killing, defense, and escape, but are not particularly supernatural.
The third to sixth tiers are Law Treasure.
Magical Law Treasure are mysterious; they can create secret realms and illusions, and their power of killing is even more profound.
The sixth to ninth tiers are considered Spirit Artifact.
When objects reach this level, they develop an inherent Artifact Spirit that can communicate with human nature.
It can be used to personally kill enemy soldiers, and it can be used to divide tools; it has many ingenious uses.
If a cultivator at the Void Return can nurture and advance their Life-Bound Law Artifact to the sixth level...
We're not far from obtaining the legendary seventh-tier Spirit Artifact.
At this point, a sixth-tier Law Treasure should have developed some sentience.
Lu Li stared at it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
Perhaps only after refining it can one fully understand and master its secret uses.
With a flick of his wrist, Lu Li put away the seal.
Looking back, the surrounding area was in a sorry state.
This battle was a devastating loss for the Dao Academy.
The Seven Sons of the Dao Academy, along with tens of thousands of other disciples, were all seriously injured.
The entire fleet was destroyed.
All fifth-tier Spirit Command Grade Spirit Machinery were destroyed.
Even the remaining fifth-tier battle armor he was wearing was only half-finished.
The war reduced the Dao Academy's foundation to what it was ten years ago.
But Lu Li's expression showed no sign of heartache.
They even showed great excitement.
Looking around at the sky below.
Lu Li's pupils seemed to flash with golden light.
Between heaven and earth in the Western Continent, there was no longer a trace of the Sin Dragon.
The moment one is granted the Dragon Position Fate Pattern.
He knew that from then on, he was the only true dragon in the Western Continent.
As the Dragon Fate Lord of the Western Continent, recognized by Heaven and Earth, Lu Li suddenly understood many of his past origins.
" The Pacify the West Prince's Palace and the Heaven-Pacifying Yao Prefecture... seemingly a struggle between two mansions, but in reality, it's two dragons vying for supremacy."
"Unexpectedly, Ao Qing ultimately perished on the spot due to his failed dragon transformation."
"Currently, in the entire Western Continent, there is still one Suanni Void Return Demon Beast, the Suanni, several human cultivators, and Sea Race mixed in."
"It no longer poses a fatal threat to me."
"With the blessing of Dragon Qi and the protection of Dragon Fate, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this Western Continent my sacred ground."
"The vast Western Continent may seem to be chaotically divided, but in reality, they only await my restoration."
"After reuniting the human destiny of this province, this Western Continent... should now be my own homeland."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Li's gaze was complex.
In the distance, the Seven Sons of the Dao Academy took off one after another, swaying precariously.
Each injury was serious.
Thanks to the nourishment from a powerful aura, he remained relatively conscious and was able to barely muster his magical Law Power.
"Cough cough cough... Kid... I can't hold on any longer."
" His Divine Soul has been severely damaged; he'll probably be asleep for several more years."
"However... fortunately, thanks to Senior Lu's Dragon Qi, I should receive some benefits upon waking up this time..."
Elder Jian's voice was broken and extremely weak.
Before Ye Chenfeng reply, there was complete silence.
The Dragon Qi he spoke of was naturally the magnificent aura emanating from Lu Li.
He watched as the seven children stumbled and flew toward him.
Lu Li could clearly see that each of the seven people had a wisp of golden energy above their heads, which was connected to him.
The golden energy lines were constantly nurturing and stabilizing the injuries of the group.
It even subtly conveyed a sense of gratitude and reciprocation.
Lu Li's eyes flickered at this.
"It seems that if my seven sons help me defeat the enemy, they will be able to benefit from the nourishment of my Dragon Qi."
"In that case, from now on, whether it's the Seven Sons, the disciples of the Dao Academy, or our own human race, they will all work together with me."
Lu Li's thoughts were clear.
Blessed by the Dragon Fate, and recognized by the Heavenly Dao.
He understood everything about destiny Fate Pattern in this world.
"Master... Master..."
While Lu Li was still lost in thought, Ye Chenfeng had already approached with the other six people.
All seven were wounded, their bodies stained with blood.
"Go down and recover from your injuries. Let Primordial Beginning mobilize the puppets that are still functional."
"Distribute resources and organize your disciples to restore their strength as soon as possible."
" The Western Continent are in turmoil, and our Dao Academy bears a heavy responsibility for the future. We have no time to waste."
He then quickly collected Zongzheng Lie's storage Law Treasure and corpse.
A hint of urgency appeared in Lu Li's eyes.
The situation in the Western Continent is too chaotic now. It seems that the Demon Beast are weakened and there is no leader.
But the second brother, Suanni, is not one to be trifled with either.
Although he was recognized by the Heavenly Dao, he still struggled to fight against the Void Return.
Especially those beings with divine beast bloodlines, invincible among their peers.
However, the current situation hinges on him taking another step forward.
Going a step further, even if one cultivates to the level of Spirit Transformation.
There's no need to rush if you can already manifest a Dharma form.
The land of the Western Continent will be completely in his hands the moment he ascends to the position of Divine Lord.
The century-long plan will reach its peak at that moment.
At that time, all the resources of the entire Western Continent will be incorporated into the Dao Academy's Great Xia, which will then control the entire continent.
He couldn't even imagine it.
After leveling the entire Demon Manor and absorbing the entire Jingxi Prefecture.
What will Western Continent become under his and Great Xia's transformation?
What kind of combat power can a single state exert?
Can he have the confidence to face the Central Continent, which seems like another world?
" Central Continent..."
Upon hearing the words "Central Continent, "Lu Li's brows furrowed slightly.
He knew at least some of the powerful and ruthless figures of the Western Continent.
But hidden in this land is a master craftsman from the Central Continent, a man from ten thousand years ago.
That being who was preparing to slay the dragon.
He knew absolutely nothing about it.
More importantly...
"Having obtained the Dragon Throne, my combat power is sufficient to fight against those at the Void Return."
" Ao Qing is invincible among those of the same level Void Return. He will once again prove his Dragon Position and will definitely be able to suppress those Dao Integration Realm, and even rival those who Tribulation Transcendence."
"The person who came... could it be Venerable One?"
Lu Li felt a chill run down his spine.
As one's cultivation level increases, the things one encounters and sees become increasingly bizarre.
At the Nascent Soul level, one faces Venerable.
He really didn't know how to win.
Lu Li was still lost in thought when the distant void suddenly trembled.
Before he could react, a beautiful figure in white robes suddenly appeared.
Lu Changming, who hadn't gone far, seemed to sense something.
He turned around abruptly, saw who it was, and his pupils trembled violently.
A trembling voice drifted into Lu Li's ears.
"Xue... Xue'er!"
