Fellow Daoist, Are You Human?!

However, as layer after layer of barriers crumbled, the weakening power of the Great Dao of Darkness also continued to take effect.

After passing through layers of darkness, the finger beam slowed down noticeably, and its light dimmed considerably, as the energy it contained was stripped away, consumed, and neutralized layer by layer!

When it finally broke through the last barrier and reached Luo Qiushan, its original world-destroying power had been weakened to only a trace of its former strength.

Luo Qiushan remained expressionless and casually waved her hand.

Like shooing away a fly.

The remaining force of the attack vanished silently with her wave of the hand, without even a ripple. Darkness closed in again, swallowing up all traces left by the attack.

However, at this moment, Luo Qiushan's face showed no joy or even smugness.

Deep inside, she felt nothing but utter shock.

"How is this possible?!" She screamed almost incoherently in her mind, maintaining a calm facade while her heart was in turmoil. "He's clearly only at the Eternal Realm, yet his attack is comparable to that of a Great Dao Realm expert who possesses the Great Dao of Darkness!!!"

She is the master of the Great Dao of Darkness, and she is intimately familiar with Great Dao of Darkness power.

Although she ultimately neutralized Lu Qing'an's attack, the sheer power of its energy level, its destructive force, and its terrifying penetrating power—which even her dozens of layers of dark barriers could barely withstand—was still remarkable!

This is clearly an attack power that only a powerful Great Dao Realm at the Great Dao of Darkness level could unleash!

But Lu Qing'an used the power of rules, not the power of the Great Dao!!!

The power of the rules unleashed the might of the Great Dao!

If this were to get out, no one in the entire Hongmeng Holy Realm would believe it!

Because this violates the most basic common sense in the cultivation world, and goes against the cultivation Principle summarized by countless sages!

But he did it!!!

Lu Qing'an stood at a distance, watching his attack being neutralized. His face showed no disappointment; he simply nodded calmly. "It seems that in your eyes, this attack is only so-so."

He genuinely believes that.

For him, a cultivation level ten thousand times greater was merely a probing move, like reaching out to test the water temperature.

He needed to gauge the power of each level of his strength by observing Luo Qiushan's reaction.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qiushan frowned deeply, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of her lips, "Fellow Daoist, you jest! This attack already possesses the power of the Great Dao Realm! As expected of a prodigy who has cultivated all the rules! It truly astonishes me!"

Her words came from the bottom of her heart.

Having lived for so many years, she has seen countless geniuses, but none of them have ever made her utter the word "monster".

Because she herself is the greatest prodigy, possessing twenty kinds of Great Dao, with the Great Dao of Darkness reaching its pinnacle, she has always been someone others look up to!

Today, she finally experienced the shock of being crushed!

"Oh? My attack has the power of the Great Dao Realm?" Lu Qing'an raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of surprise and contemplation.

Luo Qiushan took a deep breath, nodded seriously, and said in a tone that only she herself understood a complex emotion, "It's comparable to my strength when I first cultivated the Great Dao of Darkness."

She used the word "comparable to," but she knew in her heart that the power of Lu Qing'an's attack had already surpassed the full force of her attack when she first cultivated the Great Dao of Darkness.

She just couldn't bring herself to say those words!

For the dignified Sect Master of the Nether Emperor Holy Sect to admit that his strength when he first entered the Great Dao Realm was inferior to that of an Eternal Realm cultivator was now, was truly a loss of face!

Lu Qing'an did not notice the subtle change in Luo Qiushan's expression.

He lowered his head, his right hand unconsciously touching his chin, lost in thought.

"A power ten thousand times greater than the Great Dao Great Dao Realm is attainable... Now, let's try a power one hundred thousand times greater!"

The thought crossed his mind as casually and naturally as deciding to add another dish when ordering food.

The ten thousand times increase was just a test. He had roughly figured out the strength level corresponding to this level, which was roughly equivalent to a powerhouse in the Initial Stage the Great Dao Realm who possessed a single top-tier Great Dao.

Although Luo Qiushan seemed to struggle a bit when she deflected his attack, she ultimately handled it with ease, demonstrating that her true strength was far greater than that.

If ten thousand times isn't enough, then one hundred thousand times.

Without hesitation, Lu Qing'an activated his unfathomable cultivation foundation once again.

This time, it's not a trickle ten thousand times larger, but a colossal wave a hundred thousand times larger.

Things have changed!

Everything has changed!

After a brief pause, Lu Qing'an's aura began to rise again.

But this surge is completely different from the previous ones.

If the previous ten-thousand-fold improvement was like a volcanic eruption, then this improvement is like the entire world collapsing and crumbling.

A terrifying aura erupted from his body, forming a visible shockwave that spread wildly in all directions from him.

Wherever the shockwave passed, countless cracks appeared in the dark void, each crack extending thousands of feet, as if this Darkness Domain could no longer withstand such a level of power fluctuation and was in danger of collapsing and shattering at any moment.

His robes fluttered wildly, his black hair danced behind him, and his body erupted with light ten times brighter than before.

The light was no longer simply gold or white, but a chaotic light formed by the interweaving of more than three thousand kinds of rule power. It condensed into a huge halo behind him. Within the halo, more than three thousand kinds of rule phenomena appeared and disappeared at the same time, in an endless cycle!

If Lu Qing'an with ten thousand times the cultivation level is an insurmountable mountain, then Lu Qing'an with one hundred thousand times the cultivation level is an unfathomable ocean, a cosmic abyss capable of swallowing everything!

Luo Qiushan was dumbfounded again.

Her emotions, which had just begun to calm down, were shattered once again.

She stared wide-eyed at Lu Qing'an in the distance, her pure black pupils filled with disbelief!

No, it wasn't just disbelief; it was a sense of bewilderment and horror that came from having one's worldview completely overturned!

"What's going on! His aura can increase?! He didn't use his full strength just now?!!!!"

Luo Qiushan's mind was in complete chaos.

She thought that what she had just witnessed was Lu Qing'an's limit. After all, for an Eternal Realm cultivator to unleash an attack comparable to that of the Great Dao Realm cultivator was already beyond the norms of the cultivation world, and should be the limit.

But reality slapped her hard in the face!

That's not the limit, it might not even be the starting point!

In the blink of an eye, Lu Qing'an's aura rose to a new level that made Luo Qiushan's heart tremble.

The sheer power of that aura was so terrifying that even the surrounding space began to groan under its strain. Countless fragments of void, like shards of glass, were peeled away from the darkness and swirled around Lu Qing'an.

Lu Qing'an raised his gaze again, looking at Luo Qiushan, who had completely lost her composure in the distance. His tone remained calm as still water. "Fellow Daoist, this is the second strike. Let me know if you can't withstand it."

Let me know if you can't catch it.

He said the same thing a second time.

But this time, Luo Qiushan's reaction to those words was completely different!

When she first heard it, she thought it was a joke, an absurd joke told by an Eternal Realm cultivator to the Great Dao Realm expert.

This time, however, she only felt a chill run down her spine!

Because there's a real possibility she might not be able to catch it!

"Fellow Daoist! You... you're not even human?!"

Luo Qiushan's voice burst uncontrollably from her throat, filled with a shock that bordered on hysteria.
