Chapter 3142: Fighting to the Death
"Take these things back to the Taicang World and protect my foundation."
Lu Yun said in a deep voice, "You have already achieved Dao God. If you practice diligently in the future and can reach the realm of perfect Dao God, I will grant you a good fortune and help you achieve Dao Lord!"
Kuntong Divine Master broke through to become a Dao God, and he felt mixed emotions. He was originally the overlord of the Taicang World, but now he had to submit to a young man, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.
What made him even more panicked was that Lu Yun's strength had far surpassed his. Even if he broke through to the Dao God realm, he would still be like an ant in front of Lu Yun.
"Master..." Kuntong God's voice trembled a little. He didn't know how to face Lu Yun.
Lu Yun glanced at him calmly and said, "You don't need to worry too much. Since I asked you to come back, I naturally have my own arrangements."
He handed over eighteen black-armored puppets, a beast bead emitting a strong demonic aura, and a cave-heaven magic weapon containing a large amount of precious cultivation resources to the Divine Lord Kuntong.
"Take these things back to the Taicang World and protect my foundation."
Lu Yun's voice was deep and powerful. "Each of these eighteen black-armored puppets has the combat power of a Taoist god. With the help of the exotic beast beads, even if you encounter a one-star Taoist master, you may be able to escape unscathed. As for this Void Flying Boat,"
Lu Yun paused, pointed at a colorful flying boat in the cave magic weapon and said, "Its speed is far beyond that of ordinary star boats. It can help you escape at the critical moment."
Kuntong Divine Lord took these treasures with both hands, only to feel that they were heavy. It was not only the weight of the treasures, but also the weight of responsibility.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Master, rest assured, I will fight to the death to protect your foundation!"
Lu Yun nodded. He knew the loyalty of Kuntong Shenzun. Although this guy was ambitious, he was more afraid of death. As long as he was given enough pressure and benefits, he would be obedient.
After seeing off the Divine Lord Kuntong, Lu Yun returned to Xiankeju.
"Lu Yun, what should we do next?" Yu Yini asked. She habitually lifted the hair beside her ear and looked seductive.
Lu Yun glanced at Liu Xuanji, who still looked cold and aloof, but with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Let's put Li Feiyu's matter aside for now and deal with it when we leave. Now, let's improve our own strength first."
Liu Xuanji nodded: "Liuli Star's defense formation is already strong enough to withstand the attack of a one-star Taoist master. We don't need to worry about the safety of the rear."
"I don't have anything to worry about anymore," Yu Yini said with a smile, "I'm just waiting to follow you, Lu Yun, to enjoy the best of everything!"
Lu Yun smiled and said, "Well, we will each practice in seclusion and wait for the news from Taoist Xuantian."
In the following days, Lu Yun and the other two began their own retreat. Lu Yun spent most of his time comprehending the Lingxiao ancient paintings. Although he was still short of two paintings, the two he had were enough for him to start practicing.
"Unfortunately, this ancient painting requires entering its inner space to be comprehended, and it is impossible to take advantage of the time acceleration of the Time Flowing Map." Lu Yun thought with some regret.
He took out the first ancient painting he got from the beast in the All Saints Realm and slowly unfolded it. As spiritual power was injected into it, the ancient painting emitted a faint golden light, and a vortex-shaped entrance appeared in the center of the scroll.
Lu Yun took a deep breath and stepped into the ancient painting.
The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and Lu Yun found himself in a magnificent temple.
The temple is magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, and each pillar is carved with lifelike dragon and phoenix patterns.
Walking up the white jade steps, an ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere hits you. At the end of the steps is a huge dragon-shaped throne.
On the throne sat a man wearing a dragon robe.
The majestic voice of the man in dragon robes echoed in the temple, like the sound of an ancient bell, shocking the mind.
"I am a disciple of the Dao Emperor, and I have been ordered to guard this place and test those who wish to learn from the Dao Emperor. Since you have entered this painting, you are destined to be with the Dao Emperor. If you defeat me, you will have passed the test of this painting. If you collect all four ancient paintings and pass all the tests, you will be able to learn from the Dao Emperor and become his personal disciple."
Lu Yun's heart trembled. It turned out that this Lingxiao ancient painting was a test from the Dao Emperor! He suppressed his excitement and asked with a bow, "Excuse me, Senior, what are the requirements of the test?"
The man in the dragon robe spoke calmly, but with unquestionable majesty: "This painting tests your swordsmanship. You cannot use the power of heaven, the power of the world, or the power of the divine body. You can only rely on the most basic physical strength to compete with me in swordsmanship. I will suppress my own strength to the same level as yours, so that we can fight fairly. In addition, any magical skills, powerful weapons, telekinesis, etc., are not allowed to be used."
Lu Yun frowned slightly. This test seemed simple, but it was actually extremely difficult.
Although he had mastered the great unified sword art over the years, it was also because of this that he relied too much on external forces such as the power of heaven and the power of the world during his practice and combat, and instead lost himself in the sword itself.
The dragon-robed man's request was surprisingly similar to what Taoist Taixu had said when he had taught him the way of the sword.
Taoist Master Taixu also emphasized that we should study the essence of the sword rather than blindly pursue powerful strength.
And this is exactly what Lu Yun currently lacks.
"Okay, I understand." Lu Yun took a deep breath, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.
This was not just a test, but also a rare opportunity to improve. He took out a long sword of the upper-grade Heavenly Dao divine weapon level.
Although the Tianxing Sword is powerful, the power contained in it is too overbearing and is not suitable for this test.
When the man in dragon robe saw Lu Yun accept the challenge, he slowly stood up from the dragon throne.
A long sword also appeared in his hand. The sword body was in the shape of a dragon, with a majestic and domineering appearance. It was also a top-grade divine weapon of the Heavenly Dao.
As he walked down the white jade steps step by step, a powerful aura gradually rose. The pure sword art state made even Lu Yun, who had mastered the great unified sword art, feel a palpitation in his heart.
"Come on." The man in dragon robe still spoke calmly, but his tone seemed to contain infinite pressure.
Lu Yun no longer hesitated and took the lead. He swung the long sword in his hand and used the second move of the Kaitian Sword Canon - "Sword Punishment and Destruction".
Although this move did not utilize the power of Heaven and the power of the world, it contained his understanding of the way of the sword. Even if it was only driven by physical strength, it was enough to destroy the Heavenly Dao of an ordinary Taoist god.
The sharp sword energy instantly enveloped the man in dragon robe.
However, facing Lu Yun's fierce sword, the man in dragon robe simply swung his sword lightly.
A seemingly simple dragon-shaped sword light contained an overwhelming destructive force that directly knocked Lu Yun and his sword flying, and they hit the tightly closed door of the temple heavily.
This door is made of a special material and is extremely hard. Even the Taoist master cannot easily destroy it.
Lu Yun felt his blood surging, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. He quickly steadied himself, his heart filled with shock.
