Free Web NovelChapter 199.2: None Shall Pass; Supreme Dao Foundation Expert Killed with the Flip of a Palm; Dao Lord killed with the Wave of a Hand (II)
After only three days, another figure flew out of the secret realm.
"Look, someone else came out."
"I wonder who it is this time?"
"It's a Dao Foundation expert!"
"It seems to be... Ruan Tonghe of the Yellow Heavenly Sect!"
"It really is Ruan Tonghe. He's one of the supreme Dao Foundation experts of the Yellow Heavenly Sect."
"I wonder how much Ruan Tonghe gained this time?"
Many people fixed their eyes on Ruan Tonghe.
Ruan Tonghe had just left the secret realm, and he did not seem happy. He had suffered a major loss inside the secret realm this time. Although he had come away with some treasures, he had also been defeated by a Dao Lord and lost a great deal of face.
That was why Ruan Tonghe had hurriedly left the secret realm. However, someone was blocking the way, sitting cross-legged right in front of the entrance.
Lu Changsheng instantly opened his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay."
"Hmm?" Ruan Tonghe’s expression darkened as he stared closely at Lu Changsheng. "What is it?"
"Fellow Daoist, if you wish to leave the Heavenly Shackle Mountain Range, please allow me to search you. If you have any Principle Divine Stones, I ask that you hand them over voluntarily."
Lu Changsheng's tone was calm, but as soon as he finished speaking, everyone gasped.
"What's he trying to do? Don't tell me... he's blocking the exit?"
"Looks like that. He's directly stopping the experts that are coming out of the secret realm. I guess he's searching everyone for Principle Divine Stones."
"Has Lu Changsheng lost his mind? Does he really think he can keep everyone from leaving? I heard there are plenty of Principle Divine Stones in that secret realm, but it doesn't matter. Lu Changsheng only forged his Dao Foundation a little over a year ago, and yet he has the nerve to demand Principle Divine Stones just like that?"
"He's truly gone mad..."
All the martial artists in the Heavenly Shackle Mountain Range stared at Lu Changsheng with wide eyes, disbelief spreading across their faces. No one had imagined that this was why he had planted himself in front of the entrance to the secret realm. Was he really trying to make enemies of all the Dao Lords and Dao Foundation experts who had ventured into the secret realm? What could possibly make Lu Changsheng so bold, so arrogant?
Ruan Tonghe himself broke into laughter. He was furious, but the sheer ridiculousness of the situation forced him to laugh.
After being defeated by a Dao Lord inside the secret realm, he was now being strong-armed by a Dao Foundation martial artist. For a supreme Dao Foundation Expert, being treated like this was most insulting—an affront that could simply not be tolerated.
"And what if I refuse to hand over any Principle Divine Stones?" Ruan Tonghe sneered.
"Then I can only ask you to stay..." Lu Changsheng said with an indifferent expression.
The next second, he acted.
Boom!
His Mind Space descended instantly.
A Mind Space formed from six Principles was incredibly fearsome. Now, with four of those Principles at Perfection, Lu Changsheng's Mind Space had become even stronger than before.
"You actually have the nerve to attack me, just like that?"
Ruan Tonghe was fuming. He was a supreme Dao Foundation expert with four Principles, and some Dao Foundation martial artist of unknown standing actually dared to attack him?
Furious, Ruan Tonghe did not hesitate to unleash his compound divine technique. "Divine technique..."
However, just as the divine technique was about to activate, a hum rang out. One, two, three... A total of six rays of light flickered within Lu Changsheng’s Mind Space. As those six rays of light flashed, Lu Changsheng’s Mind Space seemed to increase in power by several dozen times.
A terrifying force instantly descended upon Ruan Tonghe.
"Subjugate!" Lu Changsheng exclaimed softly. He did not even move from where he sat. His gaze merely fell on Ruan Tonghe.
Ruan Tonghe had been hovering in the air, but under the terrifying pressure of Lu Changsheng’s Mind Space, he let out a miserable cry as he was forced down from the sky.
"Aaaah—"
Thud!
Ruan Tonghe crashed into the ground, and the compound divine technique he had just been about to unleash dissipated instantly. In the end, Lu Changsheng had crushed him without giving him any time to react.
"What the...?"
Everyone erupted at the sight. Some of them were rubbing their eyes, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.
"Hey, that's Ruan Tonghe! Ruan Tonghe was crushed just like that?"
"Lu Changsheng just flipped his palm... and he crushed him. What's up with his strength?"
"Unbelievable. Truly unbelievable! Each of those rays of light should represent a Principle, right? Are you telling me Lu Changsheng has actually comprehended six Principles?"
"Now I see why Lu Changsheng decided to block the exit of the secret realm. His arrogance is not unfounded, not with six Principles..."
"It's not that simple. I mean, sure, anyone with Six Principles would be strong, but instantly crushing Ruan Tonghe like that? Everyone knows Ruan Tonghe wasn't a weak guy. He was a supreme Dao Foundation expert with four Principles. The thing is... Lu Changsheng's Fire Principle is probably at Perfection already..."
"What? His Fire Principle reached Perfection? You've also comprehended the Fire Principle, so you would know better about that. But I've mastered the Wind Principle, and I can tell that Lu Changsheng’s Wind Principle has also reached Perfection." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"The Wood Principle too! It looked like he's also pushed that Principle to Perfection."
"That Principle is quite mysterious and rare. It should be the Mental Principle. Judging by its aura, I think he's mastered that Principle as well..."
"Four Principles at Perfection, stacked together and unleashed without warning. No wonder Ruan Tonghe didn't manage to fight back."
"What kind of monster is this? He forged his Dao Foundation just over a year ago, yet he has already grasped six Principles, and four of them have reached Perfection..."
Many people were dumbfounded as they realized what had just happened. Four Principles at Perfection was simply ludicrous. Even after seeing it with their own eyes, they still found it difficult to believe.
Still, the truth had been laid bare before them, and whether they believed it or not, they had to accept it: Lu Changsheng had crushed Ruan Tonghe.
He had four Principles, just like Zhao Yujian and Xia Chengfeng. But he was somewhat weaker than them.
Still, that did not mean he had not acquired any Principle Divine Stones, and Lu Changsheng was not willing to let anyone slip by. His Sense Domain swept over Ruan Tonghe directly, and in an instant, he saw through everything on Ruan Tonghe.
He immediately took the spatial treasure from Ruan Tonghe, opened it, and took a look. It was packed full of all kinds of things, some of them extremely precious.
Huh, looks like he really didn't get any Principle Divine Stones.
However, Lu Changsheng did find something else of value: a drop of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood. Although his main goal was to obtain Principle Divine Stones, he would not turn down Heavenly Demon Essence Blood either.
He silently put away the drop of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood, then returned the spatial treasure to Ruan Tonghe.
"Fellow Daoist, I see that you have no Principle Divine Stones. I apologize. Please go ahead," Lu Changsheng said calmly.
"You..." Ruan Tonghe was overcome with anger and frustration. He glanced inside his spatial treasure and saw that his drop of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood was missing. He was shaking with fury, but deep down, he knew he could do nothing about it.
Previously, when Lu Changsheng unleashed his six Principles, Ruan Tonghe felt like an entire mountain had pressed down on him. He could not remember the last time he had felt so powerless, completely at the mercy of another.
No matter how angry and humiliated Ruan Tonghe felt, he had to keep his head down and walk away. Otherwise, Lu Changsheng would just kill him with a flip of his palm. No one capable of forging a Dao Foundation would be foolish enough to further escalate a situation like this. Defending one's reputation was certainly important, but reputation meant nothing if one lay buried in the ground.
Just shut up and walk away! Ruan Tonghe took a deep breath, trying his utmost to suppress all the anger and frustration.
Woosh!
With that, his figure blurred into a streak of light and vanished without a trace.
Lu Changsheng merely shook his head. He had not obtained a Principle Divine Stone from Ruan Tonghe, but he was happy with the extra drop of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood.
He closed his eyes and sat down again, waiting for the next person to come. Unlike before, the entire Heavenly Shackle Mountain Range was eerily silent now, as though no one had the courage to even breathe.
It was only natural. Everyone had witnessed Lu Changsheng completely shut down a supreme Dao Foundation expert with a flip of the palm and snatch away his spatial treasure. What made that even more shocking was the fact that Ruan Tonghe swallowed all that humiliation and walked away without saying anything.
