“Sir... Liyang City is not far from Autumn Moon City, and if the lips die, the teeth will freeze. If they’re already affected by the Devil Disaster, it will not be far from us, either. They also sent a plea for help to the prefecture, but the quickest reinforcents will have to co from us,” Chen Jingzhi explained. “Also, Young Master Xie Chenxuan from the Xie Family already traveled over the rescue his older sister. He sent a ssage back saying that there are already devils gathering around Autumn Moon City.”

Lu Sheng took the letter and scanned it. He fell into thought. Currently, he was the strongest person in Autumn Moon City. Before, when the Mind-Controlling Devil Master appeared, the Turquoise Conch Agency did not report it. That was already surprising, and now that a young master from a prominent family accidentally stumbled across devils congregating, there was even more to think about...”Jingzhi, what are you trying to say...?”

Chen Jingzhi was very solemn. “I’m afraid that both the Yin Yang Agency and Turquoise Conch Agency are not reliable anymore. There are no news at all for such a big thing. Forgive my disrespect, Sect Master Lu, but please go to the Secret Area and notify the main sect to save the entire Autumn Moon City!”

He raised his hands above his head and bowed deeply.

Devil Disaster?!

Lu Sheng finally ca to realization, and the fog that was clouding his heart imdiately dispersed. Now he understood why Xiao Zizhu only sent a Yin form over. He only wanted to test him. The real threat was probably this Devil Disaster.

Xiao Zizhu didn’t just want to get rid of him, but the entire Autumn Moon City and Liyang City as well. He wanted to expand the territory of the Devil Army.

“I’ll try.” Lu Sheng had a bad feeling about their plan. Couldn’t the devils find a way to block this route to the Secret Area?

Chen Jingzhi straightened up, and said solemnly, “Thank you, Sect Master!”

Lu Sheng imdiately closed his door and sat down on the floor, cross-legged. He started silently chanting his teacher’s na.

After about ten tis, his whole body started blurring. Just as he was about to enter the Secret Area, a half-transparent black shadow exploded in front of him, forming a black bull with two wings on its ears.

The black bull mooed in a low tone, then exploded and disappeared.

Lu Sheng’s body solidified and returned back to normal.

He opened his eyes, his expression serious.

‘It’s only been such a short ti, yet I can’t enter the Secret Area anymore... so this was the main goal of Xiao Zizhu’s Yin form! Apart from killing , it could waste ti to prevent from escaping through the Secret Area. Ha! Good plan!’ He suddenly rembered that the ghost brothers spent a long ti entering the Secret Area. Obviously, they were having trouble.

Lu Sheng finally completely understood Xiao Zizhu’s plan. ‘No wonder he only sent out one Yin form. His real form is probably maintaining the matrix to block the entrance to the Secret Area. With his Devil Army surrounding us, they have an infallible plan to corner and murder ...’

His heart went cold.

This was his first ti—first ti in such an awkward position. He had been used to everything going his way. He didn’t expect for there to be a devil so cunning and strong.

‘How to get out of this!?’ Right now, this was his biggest question. Lu Sheng understood their plan now, but unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t leave his family and escape. They also blocked the Secret Area to prevent reinforcents from coming. So, his only choice was to stay and fight.

Using his army to put pressure while his own strength was already above that of Lu Sheng was Xiao Zizhu’s real plan.

After thinking through all of this, Lu Sheng sat down cross-legged and organized his thoughts.

‘I am already a Divine Lord, but because Su Ningfei hasn’t given any arts that fit my level, my knowledge of fighting has stayed at the Divine Weapon Master level. This is the biggest difference between and Xiao Zizhu. Even my strongest form, the Yin Yang Integration Mode, cannot win against Xiao Zizhu, even though it is much stronger than my Extre Yang Mode. There is still a huge gap.

‘There is no way I can fill up this gap in such a short ti. Then the only way would be...’

Determination flashed in Lu Sheng’s eyes.

“You forced . So don’t bla !”

“Deep Blue.” At this point, there was no reason to keep saving ntal Energy. He needed to increase his strength as quickly as possible.

Before, Lu Sheng absorbed almost five thousand units of ntal Energy from the Devil Weapon, and now he got another weapon, Han Tuo, whose attribute was water.

Pulling out Han Tuo, the divine weapon, from his back, Lu Sheng looked at it closely. From the outside, it appeared to be just a sharp wooden sword. Parts of the handle were also corroded. It seed no different from any wooden sword people would use to practice.

But when he held it, he could sense the huge resonating force within it.

Every golden leaf grade Divine Weapon had huge potential. Only when they exploited all of their potential would they beco Rogue Divine Weapons, aning they reached the level of Devil and Divine Lords.

To Lu Sheng, every Divine Weapon was a gift of a great amount of ntal Energy.

He checked over the sword body, then suddenly stuffed it into his mouth.

“Crack.”

A faint, ethereal shriek sounded.

White ripples exploded from the sword, but the gold aura that appeared around Lu Sheng blocked it completely.

His Infinity Technique was on extre mode. Lu Sheng chewed on the handle. It was the sa as eating any piece of tal, except this one had a faint, refreshing taste of mint.

He raised up the sword and took another bite. The white ripples twisted rapidly, sending out blasts of Power of Extre Ice, creating layers of freezing ice on Lu Sheng.

But that was it. At most, Han Tuo could exert force equal to that of a Divine Weapon Master. Faced with a Divine Lord like Lu Sheng, especially since it was still in hibernation mode, its mind was still groggy from being forced awake so suddenly.

“Crack.”

Lu Sheng’s third bite demolished half of the entire sword. Nurous icy blue symbols appeared on Han Tuo, and a tiny triangular pattern that symbolized its identity as a Divine Weapon started spinning quickly on its handle. The force within the sword seed to expand as if it was about to self-destruct.

“Crack.”

Lu Sheng forced the last half of the sword all into his mouth and chewed down. Large amounts of ntal Energy flowed into his body like crazy.

One hundred, two hundred, five hundred, a thousand...

The ntal Energy was like a stream, flowing directly into Deep Blue, into that mysterious hole within Lu Sheng’s chest.

He swallowed. Then, he glanced at that one box in Deep Blue.

As he expected, he fulfilled the next condition to level up his Infinity Technique.

While ntal Energy continuously poured into him, the Collection tier for Infinity Technique, the level that symbolized Divine Lords, could finally be leveled up.

He pressed down on the change button at the bottom of the cheating device smoothly. The entire box shuddered, then beca clear again.

A level up button appeared behind Infinity Technique.

“This is it!” Lu Sheng cracked a smile, focusing his concentration, and pressed it.

“Clap.”

Nothing happened. The box for Infinity Technique blurred, then cleared up.

The Collection tier went from first to second level. There was still a long list of special effects behind it.

Lu Sheng was just about to carefully read through the effects to see which ones were strengthened when he felt the world go dim. A drugged, dizzy feeling consud him.

In that instant, an inestimable amount of complicated, hard knowledge compressed from martial arts he already knew flowed into his brain. His ntal Energy dropped at an alarming speed.

He lost a thousand per second.

Knowledge, knowledge that was a step ahead of all his true arts and chants squeezed itself into his brain, ignoring whether he was comfortable with it or not.

Divine Lord, Devil Lord, Rogue Divine Weapons! Techniques! Auras!

Based on all the systems of cultivation he already knew, Deep Blue reworked everything to present completely new directions. After an entire hour, the information finally stopped.

‘Law... so the biggest difference between Divine Lords and Divine Weapons Masters was Law. If we say that Divine Weapon Masters controlled Divine Weapons and techniques, then Divine Lords, Devil Lords, and Rogue Divine Weapons changed themselves into Holders of the Laws. They ceased using Divine Weapons as a dium.’

The triangular deep crimson symbol of a winged cobra flashed in his eyes.

‘No matter if the direction I’m taking this follows the rules of this world or not, as long as I’m stepping over the Divine and Devil Weapons and reaching for Laws, it can’t be wrong.

‘Law... what is my Law, then?’ Lu Sheng’s biggest question finally separated itself after peeling off all the layers.

‘My Law...’ Lu Sheng rembered back when he was still underground in the Pri Devil Sect, rembered his joy at discovering the terrifying power of Yin Flas...

He lifted his hand, a Yin fla burning on it. The purple black fla was only as big at his palm, but there was an eye ford from golden flas in the center.

The yin fla was changing drastically as his ntal Energy continued to decrease.

The originally dark purple and black flas were slowly converting to pure black. The golden fla in the center was also glowing brighter and brighter, undergoing so transformation Lu Sheng couldn’t fathom.

This transformation didn’t seem to evolve the Yin Fla, but more like it was communicating sothing.

He didn’t know it, but his cultivation’s direction had completely left the definition of Divine and Devil Lords. Under Deep Blue’s guidance, it was slowly unraveling an unknown path.

Suddenly, the Yin flas in Lu Sheng’s palm seed to reach so extre, and exploded.

A sound like that of an opera singer resonated in the enclosed room.

The Yin Fla exploded. Large amounts of golden flas spilled out of the golden eye in the center. Those flas seed to have left Lu Sheng’s control completely. They were separate from him, and gave off an ancient, majestic, and brilliant aura.

It was like a totem pole from a temple, or the mysterious carvings on an altar. Just by watching the fla, one could feel the waves of divine, majestic, and vast power rolling off of it.

It was as if it were no longer a fla, but a golden crack that led to an extrely divine and terrifying being.

“This is...!?” Lu Sheng opened his eyes wide as a powerful force rooted him in place.

His heart was beating at a rate he’d never imagined possible. All the energy and power in his body was trying its best to break out of this control, but to no avail.

There seed to be no end to the power of the golden flas. This had completely left the realm his ntal Energy could create. Not just him, but even Deep Blue’s evolution was also forcibly paused. By evolving his Infinity Technique, Deep Blue seed to have accidentally connected the Yin Flas to so frightening being.

“That is...!?” Suddenly, Lu Sheng thought he saw a figure through the golden flas.

It was a beast so huge it was indescribable. It had eight eagle heads, and was covered in pure white feathers. Its body, strong as a lion’s, trode slowly in the depths of the universe. Everywhere it passed, all the planets and black holes started burning with golden flas.

‘Eight-headed Griffin... the mythical beast that can swallow the sun whole, the ancestor that gave everything life. Everywhere it goes, heat and dryness along with life and reproduction will descend.’

Lu Sheng was dumbfounded. He actually accidentally connected to the original, true being of the Eight-Headed Griffin!

However, it didn’t seem to notice him. It flew off into the distance with its back towards him. But, just glimpsing the back of this majestic creature enlightened Lu Sheng to nurous theories and understandings about fire and flas.
