Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025

As this spear was thrust, it was accompanied by the eruption of spiritual power.

The endless Great Dream Dao Essence spread out, instantly enveloping Emperor Xuan, forming a Great Dream World.

Lu Chenzhou learned and applied on the spot, using the Great Dream technique he learned from Heart Emperor to confront his enemy.

After reaching the ninth rank of the Great Dream Dao, Lantuo Heart Sutra was deduced by him into a Great Power Method, birthing a top-level Ultimate Great Divine Power.

He named it "Butterfly Dream Three Lives", which evolved from "Butterfly Dream Circulation".

Emperor Xuan opened his eyes and awakened, finding himself in a realm completely different from the Great Universe.

In the dark void, countless worlds wrapped in bubbles floated.

He knew that in this world, cultivators liked to call the world "plane".

This was his homeland, it was his previous life.

"Interesting, actually using divine skills to place me in the illusion of my past life, a very skillful Great Dream technique, not inferior to Heart Emperor."

Emperor Xuan held his sword, wandering endlessly in the planes, searching for a way to break the illusion.

Meanwhile, Lu Chenzhou, following Emperor Xuan’s past life dream, saw many landscapes of the Land of the Stars.

"Emperor Xuan did not deceive me, his former self, indeed was not someone from the Great Universe." Lu Chenzhou said.

Lu Chenzhou once learned much about the Land of the Stars from the memories of Holy Lord and Monarch of Silent Annihilation.

He knew, it was a universe even more powerful than the Great Universe, with a realm above the legends of divine beings.

Lu Chenzhou suspected, when he initially mastered Speed Extreme Dao, seeing those chaotic figures outside the universe, perhaps some came from the Land of the Stars.

With a single thought, innumerable blue butterflies emerged from the Land of the Stars, forming a gigantic Chaotic Time Lotus in the void.

Emperor Xuan’s expression slightly changed, sensing the might within, he quickly distanced himself.

The divine lotus descended, one bubble world after another was annihilated.

"Such a powerful strike, he can actually perform spear skills attacks within an illusion, how is this done?" Emperor Xuan was amazed.

Ordinary illusion methods mostly trapped the enemy, coupled with spiritual attacks.

But he could feel that the divine lotus, though appearing in the illusion, could instantly annihilate his physical body.

Unbeknownst to him, after reaching the ninth rank of the Great Dream Dao, Lu Chenzhou had long integrated the Great Dream into the Chaotic Time Lotus.

This spear, straddling the line between reality and illusion, both slashing the body and killing the spirit, was nearly insoluble.

One divine lotus after another descended, Emperor Xuan’s body turned into sword light, its speed not inferior to Lu Chenzhou’s mastery of Speed Extreme Dao.

Finally, Emperor Xuan arrived before a giant continent floating in the center of the universe.

In front of this continent, even Mystic Sky Continent seemed insignificant, like a small island.

Floating cities and towering structures rose, a super sun spanned the deep sky.

In the next moment, Lu Chenzhou’s face emerged on the surface of the super sun, transforming into a long spear, thrusting forward.

Emperor Xuan dodged, but the worlds surrounded by stars all turned into several Lu Chenzhous.

Dense spear skills covered the sky and earth, hundreds of divine lotuses enveloped him.

Boom! After a sky-shattering explosion, a sword light like a rainbow shot towards Lu Chenzhou’s giant face.

Crack— the dream world shattered, Emperor Xuan spat blood, reappearing in reality.

Everything just now, felt incredibly real, his body started to become illusory, gradually fading away.

"Go, defeat Dragon Emperor." Emperor Xuan said.

"Your swordsmanship is very strong, your techniques have reached the pinnacle, able to break all laws and destroy my dream world and Ultimate Great Divine Power, worthy of being the First Sword Immortal." Lu Chenzhou clasped his fists, he seemed casual, but in truth had used eighty percent of his power, enough to trap and kill the True God.

"Unfortunately, my swordsmanship, is still a step away from transcendent to saint." Emperor Xuan sighed.

With a wave of his hand, a book floated in front of Lu Chenzhou, on it were two words written like dragon flying and phoenix dancing: "Saying Sword".

"This is the essence of my life’s swordsmanship, the path of the sword cultivator, to extreme passion with the sword, utmost in skill, any art, dao all lead to the same destination, if you can comprehend ’Saying Sword’, your spear skills can also progress further, perhaps helping you break the constraints of the nine realms, transcendent to saint."

Lu Chenzhou solemnly put away "Saying Sword".

It turns out, Emperor Xuan also had his own theory about technique levels.

His envisioned ultimate sword dao was to break all laws with the sword, break all dao with sword dao, transcendent to saint, transcend the universe.

This corresponded exactly with Lu Chenzhou’s previous envisioning of skill sanctification.

Before his fall, Emperor Xuan’s swordsmanship technique was infinitely close to saint.

Purely in terms of technique, he was the strongest among the Four Emperors.

In fact, if not for Lu Chenzhou’s terrifying attribute power and dimensionality reduction blows in dao, purely in terms of technique, he wasn’t a match for Emperor Xuan.

While observing "Saying Sword", Lu Chenzhou gained much, his latent spear skill shackles also loosened somewhat.

"My spear skills, are not far from peak climbing, only how to become a saint, still needs pondering."

With body, spirit, skill, the three paths to sanctification, Lu Chenzhou’s pursuit for the future of martial arts gradually became clear.

He had a feeling that once he achieved this goal, heaven and earth would have no constraints over him anymore.

"Emperor Xuan also lost, it’s too terrifying, completely overwhelming." The Star-devouring Sword Demon clicked his tongue.

Emperor Xuan was his idol, the ancestor of all sword cultivators in the world.

"It’s very normal, although the Four Emperors are strong, compared to the likes of Holy Lord and Monarch of Silent Annihilation who are True Gods, they are still far inferior." Hei Zhou remained calm.

She had witnessed Lu Chenzhou’s spear slash through the Divine Kingdom, and still vividly remembered it.

"Indeed, only we have had the Four Emperors as the ceiling of cultivation in our hearts for so long, the impression too profound, unaware that Lu Alliance Hierarch, although only lived for over two hundred years, has already stood at the End Realm of all cultivation paths." Kunxu Ancestor sighed, full of hope for the future of the Three Thousand Realms.

To defeat the deities required a miracle.

Lu Chenzhou, was that miracle.

After defeating Emperor Xuan, Lu Chenzhou took a break for a while.

He practiced his spear skills daily and perused "Saying Sword" to comprehend its profound theories.

The next Gatekeeper was the Dragon Emperor, the founder of the Immortal Realm and the ancestor of cultivators with powerful physiques.

As an Immortal, he knew that while the Dragon Emperor’s raw strength might not match the Holy Lord’s, defeating him would surely be a strenuous endeavor.

He did not forget the Heart Emperor’s instructions and sought out several formidable successors.

One was Priest Emperor Shitian, capable of establishing the Po Suo Heart Cultivation path, with unparalleled talent and comprehension.

In any era, such a figure would be the most radiant.

But in this era, where luminaries were gathered together, he seemed slightly dimmer.

The other was Lu Xiaolan and Chen Hongfeng, the son of Prince Northern Guardian. One was the foremost genius of the current era, the other the third.

Still young, they had already become Martial Arts Grandmasters.

"Thank you, Alliance Hierarch." Lu Xiaolan and Chen Hongfeng spoke with emotion, as if bidding a final farewell to the Heart Emperor. Newest update provıded by novｅlfire.net

"If I have enough strength, I will search for the Heart Emperor in the cycle of reincarnation to see if I can find him," Lu Chenzhou said.

Time flew by, and another year passed in the blink of an eye.

Within the Divine Kingdom, a group of lower and middle True Gods gathered their thoughts, living in constant anxiety.

When Lu Chenzhou attacked, they were frightened.

When Lu Chenzhou did not attack, they were even more frightened!

"This Lu Chenzhou is probably cultivating to become stronger again. Next time, he’ll surely use us as his target," Motes Lord said.

"Alas, I regret it. We shouldn’t have fled to this Great Universe, claiming invincibility upon arrival, only to end up in this state," Lady Hua sighed.

"Meanwhile, the Witch and Blood God are at ease, probably with contingencies in place, using us as cannon fodder," Demon Insect Lord said.

"We must find a way to unite. As soon as Lu Chenzhou attacks any Divine Kingdom, the others must quickly support him. We cannot sit idly and wait for death."

"How do we do that? The seals have not yet been fully lifted; we have to wait for Divine Enthronement."

As these Evil Gods were debating, a handsome figure, smiling, descended—it was Lord Toad.

The expressions of these Evil Gods changed slightly, for this group gathered in secret without informing the four major powers, fearing to evoke the wrath of the Witch.

Lord Toad said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’m not here to wreck the place. I have a way to save your lives, as long as you do what I say."

"Lord Alliance, why have you sought me out?"

In the home of Prince Northern Guardian, Chen Hongfeng looked at the guest.

"Red Leaf, what you controlled in your previous life was the Nirvana Dao, right?" Lu Chenzhou asked.

"Yes." Chen Hongfeng nodded.

"I wish to seek your guidance on cultivating the Nirvana Dao," Lu Chenzhou humbly requested.

"You wish to learn from me?" Chen Hongfeng was surprised.

"Indeed, I only lack Nirvana to comprehend the Eight Great Laws," Lu Chenzhou said in one breath, leaving Chen Hongfeng speechless for a time.

"You want to subdue the Three Demons and achieve Spiritual Sanctification?" Chen Hongfeng guessed something.

"Yes," Lu Chenzhou smiled.

Chen Hongfeng was emotionally stirred, knowing what this might mean.

Perhaps, the barrier of the Tenth Realm, which had restrained cultivators for eons, was about to be broken by the man in front of him.

An era where the path of cultivation stands alongside the Divine, was about to arrive.

Suppressing his excitement, Chen Hongfeng began to impart the Dao to Lu Chenzhou.

A month later, Lu Chenzhou finally left the home of Prince Northern Guardian.

The Nirvana Dao, he had already mastered.

On the Martial Arts Tree, the Eight Great Daos were radiating brilliantly.

"Great Dream and Nightmare, Silent Annihilation and Nirvana, Causality and Destiny, Heart Demon and Formless..." Lu Chenzhou murmured.

Out of these Eight Great Daos, Heart Demon, Formless, and Nirvana have yet to reach the Ninth Rank, but it’s only a matter of time.

On the 9,800th floor of the Star-Picking Tower.

A majestic and dignified middle-aged man, clad in Dragon Scale Armor, stepped forward solemnly.

With each step he took, the heavens and earth trembled.

In front, Lu Chenzhou folded his fists in greeting.

"Junior Lu Chenzhou."

"Have you reached the Immortal Realm?" The Dragon Emperor’s eyes sparkled.

"Excellent, it seems the path of the body has not perished," the Dragon Emperor nodded.

He then asked, "Have you seen the Three Feet Dragon Emperor on the Dragon Transformation Ancient Road?"

"I have," Lu Chenzhou replied.

"You should know, the Dragon Transformation Ancient Land suppresses a fierce spirit called the Ming Mother," the Dragon Emperor stated.

Lu Chenzhou nodded, knowing that this Ming Mother, of unknown origin, had wreaked havoc among the Evil God of Stars and the Divine Court, possessing formidable power, comparable to the Four Emperors.

"When your body is infinitely near the Saint Realm, you may attempt to subdue that Ming Mother, which might greatly aid your physical cultivation. However, the Ming Mother is very dangerous, not inferior to ordinary Gods. Do not provoke her without the strength, or it will bring disaster upon you," the Dragon Emperor advised.

Lu Chenzhou pondered and asked, "Is Ming Mother not an entity of the Great Universe?"
