Chapter 24 An eye for an eye
Although the methods of the Palace of Illusion are unique, the distance they can travel is too short, making it impossible for them to shake off those Saint-level figures.
Lu Zhao did this to get rid of those useless bastards.
All he needs are these holy sons; these are the ones who are useful to him.
As for ordinary cultivators, their cultivation level is too low, and they don't have much Dao principles in their bodies, making it very troublesome to absorb them.
It would be better to deal directly with these holy sons; that would be the greatest gain.
The area outside the holy city is largely barren, consisting mostly of plains, offering no place to hide and making it an ideal battleground.
"Heh, it seems you have the self-awareness to choose this place as your final resting place." A cold laugh drifted over.
"Hand over that source stone, and I might give you some face."
"Your source magic is still somewhat useful, so I can't bear to kill you. Become my servant, and I'll spare your life."
Several voices came and entered Lu Zhao's sea of consciousness.
"Six Saint-level figures in total. I hope you won't disappoint me. Whether I can step into the second level of the Four Extremes and create my own technique depends on you." Lu Zhao put his hands behind his back and quickly scanned his surroundings.
At this moment, at the ends of the earth, six men in black robes were rushing towards them.
They were all heavily disguised, making it impossible to discern their identities at first glance.
"Gentlemen, let's kill this man first. As for the source stone in his possession, we'll decide how to distribute it later," one of them said.
"That's only right." The others nodded in agreement.
These people did not fight amongst themselves, and they knew what their purpose was.
People like them wouldn't temporarily change their course and fight with other holy sons just because of a few provocative words.
Therefore, Lu Zhao did not do anything futile to incite these people to fight amongst themselves.
brush!
One of them was the first to make a move. He drew back a large green bow, the bowstring shimmering with a faint golden light. As the bowstring was drawn back, the golden light grew stronger, like a sun, its radiance dazzling and illuminating the entire world.
The next moment, the sounds of wind and thunder rang out continuously, as if a thunderstorm had occurred there.
The thunder roared, and the area was completely engulfed by it.
At the same time, a golden light pierced the sky, and the arrow light, carrying unparalleled power, rushed towards Lu Zhao's direction.
At this moment, the wind and clouds surged, the sky and earth changed color, and wherever the golden sword light passed, a ravine appeared in the earth, as if a giant plow had cut through the ground, creating a terrifying scene.
The other holy sons rushed forward at lightning speed, charging in after the light arrows.
In their minds, Lu Zhao was bound to die from that arrow, so this group of people rushed over, only to seize that source stone first.
Lu Zhao finally took action, and the Tai Chi diagram within his body burst forth.
The Tai Chi symbol roared as it deliberately collided with the terrifying arrow.
The principles of Yin and Yang arose between heaven and earth, and these two principles clashed continuously, enveloping the golden arrow light and gradually eroding it.
The clash of their respective principles created a terrifying shockwave.
The void trembled, and the earth seemed about to sink. Celestial light surged forth, with countless auspicious rays, like giant celestial flowers blooming, unleashing unparalleled killing intent.
In an instant, the golden arrow vanished, completely obliterated by the principles of Tai Chi.
However, at that moment, all five holy sons rushed over.
The first to rush forward was the Holy Son of Dayan, who wielded a giant golden sword. With a flash of sword light, the sword transformed into a golden beam and slashed down.
Three beams of innate divine light descended from the sky, giving rise to three sword souls that transformed into supreme sword embryos, each activating a different Great Dao.
"King of Men Sword, slash!" Xiang Yifei shouted.
The Supreme Sword Embryo descended, unleashing a terrifying sword aura.
Faced with this sword strike, Lu Zhao immediately devoured those Dao principles, mastered them, and quickly evolved and imitated them.
He was trying to use new secret techniques to counterattack by borrowing the opponent's methods.
After the Dao entered his body, it quickly entered the vortex. After Lu Zhao completely captured it, he understood the principle behind it.
Lu Zhao then simplified these complex ideas and transformed them into his own power.
At the same time, it simplified the complex, resulting in the same sword strike being unleashed.
The next moment, a sword light flew out, transforming into three innate divine lights, which evolved into a sword embryo, connecting with more Great Daos and striking outwards.
As the Supreme Sword Embryo descended, an even more terrifying sword aura was unleashed.
Under Lu Zhao's sword energy, Xiang Yifei's sword energy shattered instantly.
The remaining sword energy flew out and struck Xiang Yifei in the chest, sending him flying and leaving a bloody gash on his chest.
He was almost cleaved in two by a sword strike and died from the very attack he himself had made.
"How is this possible?" Xiang Yifei exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost.
This was a tactic he was most familiar with, yet his opponent had countered it with even greater force, instantly defeating him.
He was at the peak of the Four Extremes, just a little short of entering the Dragon Transformation stage.
But when facing this opponent, I felt a sense of powerlessness.
"No, although it was copied in part, it still has some flaws and cannot be used to its full potential." Lu Zhao shook his head.
He turned around quickly and locked his gaze on another person.
This person activated a large bell, and various runes on the bell flashed, causing waves of energy to spread towards him.
The sound of the bell spread rapidly in all directions, like ripples on water.
You can even see clear ripples spreading out in the void.
Wherever the ripples passed, terrible traces were left everywhere, and the earth below kept exploding, turning everything within several miles into ruins.
The next moment, Lu Zhao raised his hand and struck, sending up an equally terrifying bell.
The two giant bells collided, and instantly, endless laws of nature exploded. The bell bodies seemed to evolve and burst open, their light illuminating the endless sky.
The other holy sons were also making their moves, displaying a variety of terrifying methods.
The more these people made their moves, the clearer Lu Zhao's feeling became.
His first secret technique is about to take shape, which will be a true example of using the enemy's own methods against them, and an enhanced version at that.
The battle between the two sides continued, with Lu Zhao fighting alone against the six Holy Sons.
Although these people have all reached the peak of the Four Extremes and can reverse one or two minor realms, they have no advantage against Lu Zhao, who can reverse five minor realms.
The terrifying clash of Dao principles engulfed the entire battlefield.
As expected, Lu Zhao repeatedly tested his secret technique in battle.
Continuously refine this secret technique to make its abilities even stronger.
"Let's end this." Lu Zhao laughed. The gains from this battle were too great. Not only did he improve his secret technique, but he also absorbed enough Dao principles to advance to the second level of the Fourth Heaven.
"Holy Sword, shatter the heavens!" Xiang Yifei shouted coldly.
As this shout rang out, another sword burst forth from his body.
This is a golden sword, radiating golden light, like a blazing sun illuminating the entire sky.
