Unfortunately, nothing in the area escaped Lu Mingyuan’s notice.
Lu Mingyuan reached out his palm and grasped. A giant, fiery hand, hundreds of meters long, materialized once more in the void, enveloping Chu Longxiang’s Flesh Body and the blood mist.
A faint aura surged from every fiber of Chu Longxiang’s being, protecting his Flesh Body from the corrosive power of Lu Mingyuan’s Dharma Body.
"Hm?"
This phenomenon piqued Lu Mingyuan’s curiosity.
The Destiny around Chu Longxiang was preventing him from pressing his attack.
"I have the protection of the Great Wu Dynasty’s Celestial Destiny and Fortune! What can you do to me?" Chu Longxiang laughed, clearly unsurprised.
The Great Wu Dynasty had been chosen by Celestial Destiny and Fortune. As a direct heir to the throne, he naturally received the protection of this Destiny, making him impervious to Demon Fiends!
Soon, however, the Emperor’s Fortune on Lu Mingyuan began to subtly react.
A prompt appeared before his eyes.
[Chu Longxiang is protected by the Destiny of Great Wu, triggering [Swallowing Fate]. The sacred dragon wails as the python and sparrow rise!]
’So this is Python and Sparrow Swallowing Dragon... I see,’ Lu Mingyuan thought to himself.
Through his "Python and Sparrow Swallowing Dragon" Fate Grid, he could devour the Celestial Destiny and Fortune of other True Dragons, greatly increasing his own Celestial Mandate, Destiny, and aptitude.
In other words, the prodigious Princes, Royal Ministers, and Princesses of the Six Kingdoms were all his nourishment.
A smile appeared on Lu Mingyuan’s face at this thought.
"Is that so?"
In an instant, Lu Mingyuan’s Destiny surged. It was like a vast ocean of coalescing golden, divine light, its power soaring to the heavens as it formed a nine-clawed Golden Dragon that roared to the Nine Heavens.
The Qi Cultivators in the area who knew the skill of Observing Qi furrowed their brows at this sight.
’Such powerful Destiny! Could this be the Destiny of the Emperor of Great Yan?’
The nine-clawed Golden Dragon circled the towering Dharma Body once before diving toward Chu Longxiang!
By the time Chu Longxiang noticed, it was too late!
ROAR!
With a mighty roar, the Golden Dragon engaged a lesser, golden dragon—the National Fortune Phenomenon of the Great Wu Dynasty.
But the lesser dragon was no match for it and was suppressed in an instant.
The Golden Dragon swatted its head with a claw, opened its maw, and swallowed the creature whole.
On the surface, Chu Longxiang appeared completely unharmed.
But in reality, he spat out a large mouthful of blood, his aura weakening considerably.
His Flesh Body, which had been glowing with golden cracks, began to shatter. Enveloped by the scorching Dharma Body, it dissolved into a mist of blood, and his Divine Soul evaporated along with it.
Just like that, the Eldest Prince of a Dynasty was annihilated, body and soul.
Chu Longxiang’s fall struck the hearts of all the Cultivators from the Six Kingdoms like a heavy fist.
For the Cultivators of the Great Wu Dynasty, in particular, it was as if the sky had caved in.
They found it utterly unacceptable, believing what they saw must be an illusion. That was Chu Longxiang, heir to the Great Wu Dynasty and the strongest of this generation’s Royal Family! He had supposedly cultivated the Supreme Emperor Bone Scripture to the Tenth Floor, giving him a Flesh Body comparable to an Arhat’s. How could he have been defeated so easily?
More importantly, with the protection of the Great Wu Dynasty’s Destiny, not even an Immortal should have been able to kill him so easily.
Who could have imagined that Lu Mingyuan would be so ferocious?
Meanwhile, Cao Zongxi, the Crown Prince of Great Sui, had a much stronger Cultivation than Chu Longxiang. He had managed to block Lu Mingyuan’s Saber Qi and suffered only minor injuries.
"Block me and die!" Lu Mingyuan roared.
The Destiny on his body erupted once again. The Dragon Shadow was even stronger and more dazzling than before!
[Emperor Orange Fate Grid - Python and Sparrow Swallowing Dragon, Refinement Level increased to 20%]
[Emperor’s Orange Life Chart (Python and Sparrow Swallowing Dragon): The pythons and sparrows cry in unison, bathing all in radiant light. The devouring momentum transforms. The sacred dragon wails as the python and sparrow rise. Let all the heroes under heaven offer their necks, and listen for the dragon’s cry of sorrow!]
[Refinement Level reached 20%. Promoted Life Chart Traits: Swallowing Fate (Middle Level)]
[Swallowing Fate (Middle Level): You can devour the Celestial Destiny and Fortune of other True Dragons, massively increasing your own Celestial Mandate, Destiny, and aptitude.]
If Lu Mingyuan wanted to unify the Mortal World, he naturally had to slay some of the Dynasties’ most important leaders. He could not afford to be merciful; otherwise, he would be the one to die.
Several Great Powers of the Immortal Realm were watching from the heavens.
Such was the cruelty of the battlefield.
Cao Zongxi shouted urgently, "Everyone, don’t treat Lu Mingyuan like a mere Celestial Human Realm Martial Artist! You have to treat him as a Martial Saint! We only have a chance of suppressing and killing him if we use our strongest trump cards. Otherwise, he’ll pick us off one by one, and we’ll all die here!"
Jiang Shan was far more rational. He could see that Lu Mingyuan’s Momentum was already established and that he clearly intended to unify the world. Breaking his Momentum now would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Their plan to target Great Yan in this battle had undoubtedly failed.
So he offered a reminder, "We would certainly pay a heavy price to kill the Emperor of Great Yan. There is no need for that. Right now, we should be focused on preserving the Primordial Qi of the Six Kingdoms, lest we invite invasion from the other two major powers."
"Master, is your compassion not a bit excessive?! Chu Longxiang has been killed, and we’re just supposed to flee? What about the honor of the Six Kingdoms?"
Cao Zongxi’s gaze fell on Wuxun in the distance. "Lu Mingyuan’s greatest strengths are his Martial Dao Body and his means of shattering the protection of Destiny," he said coldly. "That’s why Chu Longxiang couldn’t escape—he never even had the chance to fight to the death. Wuxun, are you not going to use the Ancestral Dragon within the Great Frost Dragon Bracelet to suppress Lu Mingyuan’s Martial Dao Body? Do you really think you can take him on alone after he kills the rest of us?"
"Five Dragons Celestial Seal!"
Cao Zongxi’s vitality began to burn as he summoned the Great Sui Dragon Seal. A five-colored Dragon Shadow emerged and surged into his body.
