The lady in the blue dress gave a cold smile, "You can choose to back out now, little doggy?"
"I am not a dog!" The boy finally couldn't hold back and roared, emitting a threatening sound from his throat—he really wanted to bite the woman's throat off right now.
"Do you really intend to back out? Do you think that, as a being of such high realm, having a trace of divine sense in my possession poses no threat to you?" The lady in the blue dress looked at the boy with an indifferent face.
For so reason, this ti, that terrifying aura... seed to have returned to the lady in the blue dress. The boy shuddered violently and looked at the lady, "What are you, exactly? A human who ascended from the Immortal Realm... could never be as terrifying as you!"
"That's your ignorance. You're lucky, the one you've t is , and I just happen to need a dog by my side," the lady in the blue dress smirked, recalling the handso yet resolute face and those eyes—pure yet filled with anger and defiance.
She couldn't help but sigh softly, "It's a pity I couldn't kill him. As long as he lives... you will never willingly rge with , will you?"
This self-directed question left the boy slightly stunned.
Then, the lady in the blue dress stepped out and walked away, not sparing the boy another glance.
The boy hesitated for a mont, shook his head, and hurried a few steps to catch up with the lady in the blue dress.
...…
In the Immortal Realm, above a vast swamp.
The battle was still ongoing!
This battle had already lasted for more than ten days.
The conflict between Elixir Sect and Luo family had, in fact, ended.
Both sides had casualties. Generally speaking, the Luo family suffered greater losses. Now, both parties had temporarily ceased fighting, watching the ongoing battle between two individuals.
On the Luo family's side was Luo Wufu, the top expert of the Luo family, wielding a broken blade.
His battle with the Demon Lord continued.
Luo Wufu had always been a legend in the Luo family. When he was young, his talent was very poor, even considered terrible. People had predicted early on that Luo Wufu's highest achievent in cultivation would probably only reach the Spirit Refining stage. That was because Luo Wufu was a direct descendant who had access to a substantial amount of the family's resources. Otherwise, many thought reaching the Primordial Infant realm would be a great milestone.
Thus, during his youth, Luo Wufu also had another nickna, Luo Bingfu.
Despite his status as a direct descendant in a world where power is revered, he never received any respect. But Luo Wufu never complained nor loudly vowed how he would one day prove them all wrong. He simply kept to himself and devoted nearly all his ti to cultivation.
Yet, it was still futile. Cultivation isn't like farming; diligence doesn't necessarily yield more crops. Cultivation depends on innate talent, and without it, no matter how much effort you put in, the results will still be the sa.
Luo Wufu struggled up to the Golden Elixir Realm, which took him over two hundred years. His peers, the other family descendants, at worst had reached the peak of the Primordial Infant stage during this ti, even under conditions where they lacked resources.
Those direct descendants of his age, after two hundred years, the worst had reached the peak of the Spirit Refining stage.
Compared to them, Luo Wufu was truly a failure. So much so that many suggested revoking his family's stipend, feeling that such resources were a colossal waste on him.
However, the head of the Luo family, Luo Wucheng, who was also Luo Wufu's older brother, continued to insist on allocating the rightful resources to his brother despite opposition.
In the words of Luo Wucheng back then, "His talent may not be substantial, but his effort... is worth learning from by all of you. If each of you, who deems themselves talented, could work as hard as Wufu, your achievents would be even greater."
Because his rate of advancent through the realms was slow, Luo Wufu appeared particularly old. When reaching a realm that could alter his appearance, he made no effort to make himself look younger. It could be said that Luo Wufu was solely focused on cultivation, never concerning himself with his appearance.
As a result, Luo Wufu now looked as aged as those elderly family mbers of the Luo family, very old indeed.
The turning point occurred over three hundred years ago when Luo Wufu, through relentless effort, had cultivated to the level of a Primordial Infant and was considered a fairly competent cultivator. However, in the Immortal Realm, cultivators at the Primordial Infant stage were di a dozen, hardly anything special.
At that ti, the Luo family in the Immortal Realm possessed an ancestral artifact, its origins unknown to anyone. The Luo family had been in the Immortal Realm for many years, said to have been living there even before the separation of the realms of Heavenly Immortals and sentient beings.
Of course, at that ti, the Luo family still had extensive dealings with the main family.
There was a saying that this ancestral artifact was obtained by an ancestor of the Luo family when the four realms of Heavenly Immortals and sentient beings had erged.
It was a broken sword.
The ancestor of the Luo family believed it to be a true divine weapon, though shattered for so unknown reason. He brought the broken sword back to the family and sealed it away without telling anyone.
Later, after the ancestor's passing, his descendants discovered the broken sword. They found it exceptionally sharp, unparalleled by any other weapon.
Strangely though, no one could wield it!
Whenever soone attempted to use it, the sword would backlash and injure the person. This filled many with reverence, deeming it a sentient divine object.
Many years passed with no one able to wield it, and gradually, the artifact was sealed away.
This changed after Luo Wufu reached the Primordial Infant stage and entered the Luo family's treasury. According to the rules of the Luo family, direct descendants who reached the Primordial Infant stage could select a dharma instrunt from the treasury.
Thus, Luo Wufu chose this legendary ancestral artifact.
At the ti, many scoffed at him, thinking he was delusional to even attempt to use this ancestral artifact.
But to everyone's surprise, the artifact... could actually be used in Luo Wufu's hands!
Many were resentful, believing the spirit within the artifact had perhaps died, and when they tried to wield it, everyone who tried was injured by the broken sword. Eventually, people had to accept that Luo Wufu was worthy of wielding this ancestral artifact, although Luo Wufu himself was unclear why.
But Luo Wufu's transformation began with this ancestral artifact.
Since acquiring the broken sword, Luo Wufu suddenly enlightened, his cultivation advancing rapidly, and in just three hundred years, he broke through to the Ascension stage, and to this day, Luo Wufu stands at the peak of the Ascension stage!
Moreover, because of his solid foundation early on, Luo Wufu has now truly beco the foremost expert of the Luo family in the Immortal Realm!
After becoming the preeminent expert of his family, Luo Wufu felt no arrogance; he was deeply grateful to his family, and suprely loyal to his brother, Luo Bingfu. Because without the family or his brother, he, Luo Wufu, would never have achieved what he has today.
Therefore, in this battle, even though he had previously been absorbed only in cultivation and had never heard of the Demon Lord, seeing his brother and his family despise this man, he vowed to kill him!
