Chapter 459: Ascension to the Second Place on the Qilin Ranking! (4K)
Lu Changsheng's contest with Feng Mu was still ongoing.
The Thunder God Emperor Body could devour the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder, command thunder and lightning, and continue to battle fiercely.
Feng Mu's body was comparable to a mid-grade Emperor Soldier, protected by the Lingye Immortal Sword. It was no easy feat for Lu Changsheng to defeat him.
Lu Changsheng used Divine Void Steps to constantly dodge Feng Mu's Sword Qi and palm strikes.
While avoiding attacks, Lu Changsheng also counterattacked from time to time, striking Feng Mu.
As the fight progressed, their blows became almost flesh to flesh, each punch containing the power to shatter mountains and rivers.
As Feng Mu's fist hit Lu Changsheng, Lu Changsheng's fist also struck Feng Mu.
Both were forced back hundreds of meters, then their forms disappeared from their original positions, clashing again.
The many cultivators attending the Yaochi Conference checked the time; nearly a stick of incense had passed, and yet the two combatants remained equally matched.
The Yaochi Holy Mother watched the competition and transmitted her voice to the Primordial Saint Lord, "Your visit this time must be for more than just paying birthday respects."
"Holy Mother is perceptive, you guessed correctly. I came here for another matter as well. Our Primordial Holy Land is responsible for guarding the Demon-Suppressing Pass, monitoring every move of the Demon Realm. In recent years, we've discovered many from the Demon Realm visiting the Demon Realm. I suspect that someone from the Demon Realm wishes to entice certain Demon Clan Tribes. If they succeed, it will be a catastrophe we cannot ignore."
"Do you know who from the Demon Realm is behind all this? Could it be that brat?"
"We still don't know. Even within the Demon Realm, there are factions."
"I should have eliminated that brat back then; otherwise, we wouldn't be facing this disaster now."
The Yaochi Holy Mother's face was grim as she recalled some past events.
The Primordial Saint Lord changed the topic, "Their limits have been reached, now we'll see who can endure to the end."
The Yaochi Holy Mother's focus returned to the competition in the Cloud Realm.
In this match, neither side was allowed to use Elixir Pills; it was entirely a contest of Cultivation Technique, True Qi, and magical treasures.
The two were evenly matched, both fighting to their limits, totally out of breath.
Lu Changsheng used the back of his hand to wipe the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes bloodshot.
Lu Changsheng rarely encountered such a well-matched opponent who nearly pushed him to the brink.
In the Immortal Realm, Holy Lands and Prestigious Families and Sects abound, and Feng Mu was one in a billion genius from these Holy Lands, Prestigious Families, and Sects, with the demeanor of a Great Emperor, making him exceedingly difficult to deal with.
Feng Mu was even more desperate.
Wearing the Great Wilderness God Armor and cultivating the Qing Emperor Eternal Life Art, Lu Chang seemed like an undying War God. Despite Feng Mu exhausting all his Divine Skills and Cultivation Techniques, he was unable to defeat Lu Changsheng.
Wasn't Feng Mu the foremost genius of the Ancient Feng Family? When had he ever been stuck in such a protracted struggle?
Furthermore, Lu Changsheng's cultivation level was one realm lower than his. Even if Feng Mu won, the struggle up to this point was enough to show that Lu Changsheng's talent was even higher.
Boom boom!
Lu Changsheng landed two more punches, striking Feng Mu's abdomen!
Feng Mu took a heavy blow, vomiting even bile, his eyes bulging.
The premier genius of the Ancient Feng Family suffered a brutal beating.
Feng Chen was stunned.
Within the Ancient Feng Family, Feng Mu had no equals among his peers and usually won swiftly and decisively.
This was the first time he saw Feng Mu face such a formidable rival.
Lu Changsheng had nearly forced out all the Cultivation Techniques known to Feng Mu.
Feng Mu couldn't afford to harm his foundation over the outcome of a match, so he did not use any Secret Techniques.
"It's over now."
Before completely depleting his last bit of True Qi, Lu Changsheng fully activated the Myriad Manifestations Forest Luo Demon Sword, the black light from the sword growing intense. The blossoming black radiance made the sun and moon lose their luster, changing the colors of heaven and earth.
In that moment, Lu Changsheng comprehended the second sword realm of "One Sword Across Ages."
The Sword Qi grew increasingly fierce, shattering the surrounding space-time!
"He's actually achieved enlightenment on the spot!"
"This... this boy is just too monstrous!"
Those present couldn't help but exclaim as Lu Changsheng, at the final juncture, made a breakthrough in his Cultivation Technique!
The Sword Qi disturbed space-time, generating even stronger currents of temporal chaos.
Even those proficient in the Time Law would struggle to escape the predicament in the face of the second sword realm.
Some cultivators stood up in shock.
Lu Changsheng and Feng Mu had fought to such a bitter standstill and yet Lu Changsheng could still achieve Path Comprehension at the final moment; it was nothing short of a miracle.
"This sword... can sever space-time!"
Lu Changsheng drained all his True Qi fighting Feng Mu in a decisive battle, holding nothing back.
If the contest continued, Lu Changsheng wouldn't be able to hold on.
The Taiyin Goddess Talisman had been used in the Demon Realm and could not be used again until it accumulated enough of nature's spiritual energy.

Besides, this match was not the right occasion to use the Taiyin Goddess Talisman.
"Ancient Thunder Dragon, lend me your strength!"
The Primordial Thunder Dragon Soul nurtured within Lu Changsheng was released at this moment.
Accompanied by a dragon's roar, the Primordial Thunder Dragon Soul appeared.
The Primordial Thunder Dragon Soul, which devoured Chaos Divine Thunder and Great Dao Gold Thunder, thrived in the Cloud Realm's Thunder Prison, as natural as a fish in water!
The Primordial Thunder Dragon Soul swelled, advancing from the second to the third level of the Immortal Emperor Realm!
When the Primordial Thunder Dragon Soul appeared, the already stunned bystanders were even more astonished.
"Is this a Demon Race Primordial Spirit?!"
"Tai Hua Holy Son actually nurtured such a treasure!"
"It's said that each Demon Race Primordial Spirit is a top-grade treasure. Could Tai Hua Holy Son's Demon Race Primordial Spirit be the legendary Ancient Thunder Dragon?"
"Are you saying it's an Ancient Thunder Dragon on the same level as the primordial Candle Dragon?"
"To think that the Primordial Spirit of an Ancient Thunder Dragon was separated out by a human Great Expert and turned into a magical treasure. Could it be that the Ancient Thunder Dragon was slain by a Great Expert from Tai Hua Holy Land, which is why it came into the hands of Tai Hua Holy Son?"
