Lu indeed felt sothing strange had slipped into his body.
This made him frown.
Because that intruder brought a faint sense of crisis—though not particularly strong.
But Lu still took it seriously.
“Is it because of this fire origin fla?”
Lu narrowed his eyes. After thinking it over, he felt the problem lay in the fire origin fla he had just absorbed. After all, it ca from Qiang Huo—a prized disciple of the Elental God.
And Lu rembered that the fla will Tonggu had crushed belonged to the Elental God himself.
“Could there be a remnant of the Elental God’s will?”
Lu’s expression grew solemn. This was no small matter—he had to be extrely cautious and thorough.
After all, he was no longer the reckless youth who feared nothing.
He now carried the entire nascent immortal-martial Five Phoenix on his shoulders, still in need of nurturing. So Lu had to ensure his own safety.
After silently cursing Tonggu’s unreliability for leaving behind a trace of the Elental God’s will,
Lu’s mind moved. His powerful divine soul surged into his body.
Following the flowing fire origin power within his Indestructible Fire Body, he began analyzing and probing.
Lu was patient—thodical, inch by inch, strand by strand, extrely serious.
But after a full sweep, he found nothing unusual.
The fire origin power coursing through him was strengthening his Indestructible Fire Body considerably, faintly approaching perfection. Everything seed perfectly harmonious.
Yet Lu was certain—that strange feeling earlier was no illusion.
So he beca even more serious and cautious.
He even activated the preaching platform for a full-body scan.
Hum…
After repeated scans,
Lu finally detected an extrely faint will fluctuation hidden within a single drop of blood racing through his veins.
It was nearly imperceptible. If not for his ticulous attention, he might have missed it entirely.
A scorching heat emanated from that will.
Lu’s expression turned cold and grim.
Sure enough—sothing filthy was coveting his body!
Lu slowly exhaled, feeling a trace of lingering fear. Fortunately, he had been cautious enough. Otherwise, this wisp of will would have taken root, absorbing nutrients, growing stronger, and eventually completing possession!
“The Elental God… truly insidious. As expected of a heaven-god rank god-demon… old scher.”
Cold light flickered in Lu’s eyes.
This grudge—he, Lu Ping’an, would rember it.
One day, it would be repaid!
Boom!
Lu’s powerful divine soul erupted outward, vast and surging like tidal waves crashing from the sea, slamming toward the wisp of will to obliterate it.
But to Lu’s surprise, the will was incredibly resilient—like an unyielding rock, unmoved.
…
In the Fire Elental Realm.
That terrifying existence’s eyes glead with faint light.
“Hm? It was discovered? Impossible… with Tonggu’s reckless nature, he shouldn’t have noticed.”
Tonggu was a quasi-saint-level powerhouse—suprely confident in his divine soul and quasi-saint body.
In truth, the Fire Elental God hadn’t intended to destroy Tonggu with this wisp of will. Killing a quasi-saint comparable to himself with such a small trick was nearly impossible.
But he could let the will continuously absorb the quasi-saint body’s nutrients, growing into a monster inside, lying dormant—ready to erupt at the critical mont and catch Tonggu off guard.
Yet he hadn’t expected his plan to be discovered so soon.
“This divine soul power… isn’t Tonggu’s?”
“Tonggu must have given this fire origin fla to a human prodigy?”
“Fine. Killing one human prodigy is still a profit.”
The existence sneered.
His original target had been Tonggu. But since Tonggu hadn’t fallen for it, any human prodigy would do.
“With this level of divine soul power, you think you can erase my will seed? Obediently beco nourishnt for my will seed—beco my hidden pawn within humanity!”
The Fire Elental God sneered coldly. He thought of many things. This human prodigy who earned Tonggu’s favor must hold significant status in humanity. For Tonggu to entrust him with the precious fire origin fla showed how important this junior was.
Thus, the value of this hidden pawn was self-evident.
Boom!
The Fire Elental God’s eyes flashed. He secretly urged the will seed.
…
Lu reacted instantly.
Seeing the will seed suddenly erupt violently—like a blazing sun igniting within his body, its will surging as though to grind away Lu’s own.
Lu was both angry and amused.
“Pushing your luck—do you think I, Lu Ping’an, am easy to bully?!”
Lu’s fury ignited.
He had diligently nurtured the Five Phoenix for so many years. This was the first ti he’d been bullied like this.
Without hesitation, he fully unleashed his divine soul power. Even innate purple qi surged forth, rging with his will to suppress the intruder.
The preaching platform manifested—descending from above, suppressing the void within Lu’s body!
Boom!
Lu felt his flesh about to erupt like a volcano, terrifying auras exploding outward.
And that hidden will seed was now fully exposed.
Vaguely, it transford into a roaring fire figure.
“I am the will of the Fire Elental God…”
A faint will fluctuation emanated, then surged toward Lu’s divine soul.
Lu’s expression was ice-cold.
His divine soul will collided without hesitation. The two clashed.
Lu’s divine soul was like a roaring heavenly river.
The will seed was as thin as a thread.
Yet their collision was evenly matched.
This surprised Lu and made him sigh at the might of quasi-saint powerhouses.
He, Lu Ping’an… was still too weak.
After all, he was just an ordinary cultivator.
But Lu wasn’t without ans. He directly summoned the preaching platform and smashed it down.
The preaching platform was divine. Its Eight Trigrams array words flowed, carrying supre pressure.
Instantly, the will seed was crushed!
A vast, majestic power emanated from the preaching platform, suppressing and sealing the Elental God’s will.
“Cough tui~”
Lu opened his mouth.
A drop of pitch-black blood sprayed out.
Lu’s eyes narrowed.
He raised his hand. The surrounding void was sliced into chaos like shredded silk.
He restrained the drop of blood.
“The Elental God’s will…”
Lu narrowed his eyes.
“This is an enormous fortune.”
“A tool god-demon above immortal-rank has been secured.”
“Thank you, Elental God old pal, for the divine soul will.”
Lu chuckled lightly.
Then he clenched his five fingers.
Space sliced apart, severing the faint connection between the blood drop and the Elental God.
Lu’s mind moved. His figure flickered like teleportation and appeared at the top of the Fortune Tower.
The giant beast Kui Si lay lazily. He had been living comfortably—until suddenly he felt a terrifying aura that made even sleep uneasy.
Opening his eyes, he saw the white-robed Lu Ping’an looking calmly at him.
Wasn’t this the human who had beaten him senseless?!
“Human, what do you want?!”
Kui Si’s eyes filled with fear. The aura on this human was growing more terrifying.
It now carried the pressure of a great-path rank god-demon!
Last ti he didn’t feel this way. How long had he slept? And the human had beco this strong?
Human talent was too terrifying.
No wonder the god-demons’ upper echelons wanted to suppress humanity.
Seeing Lu draw closer.
Kui Si panicked.
“Don’t co over!”
“No… don’t!”
Kui Si roared in terror.
He was already a prisoner—what more did this human want from him?
But Lu ignored Kui Si’s roars. With a flick of his finger, the separated Elental God’s will shot into Kui Si’s mouth.
Kui Si was dumbfounded.
The next mont, he felt his body turn into a furnace. Every drop of blood split apart. Terrifying power surged within him.
Kui Si grew more terrified—what was this human doing?
Drugging him?!
Why was his body so hot?!
It felt like a fire needed release!
As his power grew, Kui Si’s eyes lit up. His bloodline level soared. His strength rose continuously…
In one surge, he broke through the barrier and stepped into great-path rank!
Though he felt his great-path rank was unstable… he had grown stronger!
“I… I’ve beco stronger?!”
Kui Si was overjoyed.
The next mont, he glared at Lu with murderous intent!
But Lu looked at him with disappointnt.
“As expected—trash. Fusing a drop of blood containing the Elental God’s will only produced this flashy but useless counterfeit. Still, it’s acceptable—at least it’s great-path rank, even if much weaker than Qiang Huo.”
Lu shook his head.
“Hm, the Fortune Tower now has a great-path rank god-demon resource reserve. When Zhu Long and Lu Jiulian want to break through to Heavenly Emperor, they’ll have a way…”
Thinking of this, Lu’s gaze toward Kui Si softened.
After all, Kui Si was now the Five Phoenix’s only artificially created great-path rank god-demon reserve. Though drug-induced, he was still unique and precious.
Kui Si originally thought his cultivation had increased—reaching the great-path rank he had never dared dream of.
In the ancient starry void, wandering god-demons like him who reached great-path rank could enter the Elental Realm!
So he had a bold idea—to break free from this human’s control.
He wanted freedom!
He wanted the starry void!
He wanted to fly!
So he attacked—slashing a claw toward Lu!
This claw erupted with great-path rank power, faintly threatening to shatter star rivers.
Lu glanced over.
He raised an eyebrow.
Getting bold now, huh? Daring to sche?
His mind moved. The Spirit Pressure Chessboard appeared before him.
Since he was free, why not use Kui Si to practice his newly acquired divine ability from quasi-saint Tonggu—Spatial Severing Technique?
Combining Spatial Severing Technique with the chessboard domain and Spirit Pressure!
Lu sat calmly in the Thousand-Blade Chair, white robes fluttering.
He rolled up his sleeve and placed a piece.
The chessboard domain expanded. Spirit Pressure beams twisted space and smashed down!
Puff!
In an instant, blood sprayed. Kui Si’s claw was severed by spatial slicing…
Kui Si was defeated.
That day, the entire Fortune Tower shook. A god-demon’s blood-curdling screams echoed through every corner.
Those who heard it felt heartache. Those who listened shed tears.
Ning Zhao and Yi Yue, managing the Fortune Tower, pretended not to notice.
Ni Yu held the golden scale token, Little Yinglong perched on her head, projecting the scene and watching with relish.
Little Yinglong saw Kui Si’s miserable state and recalled being inexplicably beaten by Father. He felt a strange sympathy—and his mood greatly improved.
…
In the Fire Elental Realm.
A stifled roar echoed.
Terrifying divine soul fluctuations surged with boundless fury, sweeping every corner. Flas erupted into ten-thousand-zhang waves.
“Damn it! How could a re human brat sever my connection with the will seed?! And what did that brat do with my will?!”
The Fire Elental God was furious.
Yet helpless. The connection was cut—the wisp of will was no longer his.
“When did such a figure appear among human prodigies…”
“Humanity is growing stronger and stronger. With such juniors, humanity’s future is unimaginable. Perhaps the ancient starry void will truly beco humanity’s domain…”
“Teacher was right—humanity must be suppressed! We cannot give them any chance to breathe!”
Silence fell over the sea of flas.
After a long while, cold muttering echoed.
“The Fire Origin Beast Ancestor statue’s mystery comprehension ground will open soon. Perhaps this ti we can allocate more slots to humanity—even lure that Tonggu here…”
The words fell, and heaven-shaking killing intent surged through the sea of flas.
“Then…”
“Kill!”
