Chapter 674 Li Xiaocao Makes Her Move

The World of the Great Dao's True FormAlthough Lu Chen couldn't contact the outside world,he could sense the life force of the twenty commanders.On the first day of the battle, one candle went out, but it didn't affect the overall situation.But now, the mortal realm had gained a decisive advantage, a tremendous one. The Lu Clan's battle was beginning to crumble, because Lu Chen clearly felt that the life force candles of those Celestial Realm commanders were flickering, no longer shining as brightly as before.Soon after.The second candle belonging to the Divine Pillar King also went out.No one could restrain Shen Ji anymore.As expected, a day later, the third candle went out.Lu Chen knew he couldn't wait any longer.He abruptly turned around and launched a surprise attack on Yu Shan, who was relentlessly pursuing him.Second-tier Heavenly Martial Art, the Dao-Destroying Hammer.As its name suggests, a single hammer blow can shatter the Dao Fruit and the power of the Great Dao. This is his greatest trump card; even if Yu Shan reaches the Heavenly Realm, he can still smash his Heavenly Talisman with the Dao-Shattering Hammer!A second-tier Heavenly Martial Artifact, this is something used to deal with top-tier experts in the Celestial Realm. Although its power was suppressed by 90% when it was brought down to the mortal realm, it was still beyond Yu Shan's capabilities!The world was shattered.Unexpectedly, Yu Shan seemed to have anticipated this and left that world beforehand.When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the Heavenly Net.But where was Lu Chen?At the very moment he swung his hammer, a drop of colorful water fell towards his head.Lu Chen's eyes instantly filled with despair.The Heavenly Dao!Someone had smashed a world into his life, at this moment when he was completely unprepared.This person could also enter the world of the Great Dao's true form. If nothing unexpected happened, he had been hiding beside him the whole time, waiting for his chance.But he had never noticed the other person's presence. Who is this person?He already knew the answer.“The Supreme Ruler of All Ages, Li Aoshi Tianxia.”The Tyrant came from a small world.The former master of this small world was Li Xiaocao, also known as Aoshi Tianxia.Later, the Tyrant moved the beings of that small world to the myriad realms, and the original Heavenly Dao of that small world was refined into a drop of water. This drop of water possessed the power to contend with the current source of the Great Dao of the myriad realms.In the Heavenly War three thousand years ago, it was Li Xiaocao who wielded this drop of Heavenly Dao.In just a moment.Lu Chen thought of many things.He felt even more desperate.The Lu Clan was doomed.The Heavenly Realm was also in danger.Li Xiaocao, a being even more threatening than Zhuge Tianming, had been born.But what was terrifying was that no one knew he had emerged.He was like a ghost, striking at this most crucial moment, delivering a devastating blow.Why did he enter the fray at this moment?Lu Chen's thoughts raced, and he understood.He himself was certain to die, but "Lu Chen" might not.Li Xiaocao, this dangerous and madman, would possess his body, deceive the Emperor, manipulate the Lu Clan, and attack the other twelve kingdoms of the Celestial Realm.Was everything sudden?Actually, no.Because Li Xiaocao had been involved all along, hiding for so long, waiting for this moment.A world crashed down on Lu Chen's head; he was powerless to resist.Within this world of the Great Dao's true form, even the Lu Clan's ruler couldn't detect his abnormality.Then.Yu Shan reappeared, using Daoist magic to seal Lu Chen's body, beginning to extract his memories and habits, adding embellishments.Lu Chen let out a resentful roar, but was helpless; someone was holding his throat from behind, someone was pressing on his skull from the front.Attacked from both sides, no matter how he struggled, it was futile.Suddenly.Li Xiaocao asked, "Are you truly satisfied with the world as it is now?""As someone close to the Dao, do you really think that the myriad realms, the celestial realm, and the mortal realm are worth cherishing?"Lu Chen's eyes became blank. He said, "I underestimated them."Li Xiaocao pressed further, "Tell me your true feelings.""If you had the chance to change the world, would you seize it?"Lu Chen's thoughts were scattered.A dying man's words are often kind. Looking back on his life, apart from childhood and youth, the rest seemed to have been accelerated.Everything had become blurred.Profit had become the main theme of his life.Loyalty had become his source of strength.But was this truly what he wanted?Tears welled up in Lu Chen's eyes as his thoughts surged.He choked up slightly, saying, "I hope this world can continue.""A tyrant is an extremely self-centered being, you understand.""To resurrect those he loves, he can recklessly disrupt the timeline and the lines of fate.""Unparalleled in heaven and earth, without a shred of taboo.""But who will bear the consequences?""If this world must have a king... a tyrant, it's inappropriate. If he were to rule this world, the ending wouldn't change."Li Xiaocao said calmly, "He himself is well aware of this.""Later, I met a young man named Li An.""He possesses a purer kind of benevolence.""I believe his shoulders can support this world."Lu Chen said wistfully, "But he's still too young; people change."Because Li Xiaocao had fought Lu Chen many times in the past, she understood him well.He also had a sense of righteousness, but in the Heavenly Realm, rules were more important than personal ideals.Now, he's about to die, and all rules have become meaningless. He must be speaking from the heart now.Li Xiaocao nodded silently, "You're right, people change.""But I still want to believe in this child." Yu Shan was extracting all of Lu Chen's memories and behavioral habits.There's still time to talk.Li Xiaocao suddenly asked a question that struck at the heart of the matter."Don't you think the Celestial Realm has lost its vitality?" Lu Chen closed his eyes, murmuring weakly, "In a world where profit reigns supreme, vitality is merely a pipe dream." Li Xiaocao remained unmoved: "Interested in helping the mortal realm?"Lu Chen: "Though lowly in rank, I dare not forget my duty to the nation."Li Xiaocao: "A pity.""Sometimes I find it strange. You seem forever bound by invisible rules, afraid to act as you please.""Actually, you hope the Celestial Realm will be overthrown, allowing this world to continue, full of vitality.""You have that ability.""Are the rules really that heavy?" Lu Chen scoffed: "Trying to subdue the enemy without a fight? Turning enemies into friends?""I hate the rules of the Celestial Realm, but Lu Kingdom is ultimately my home.""No matter what problems this home has, it's still the home that gave me birth and raised me.""I will not betray my home." Li Xiaocao nodded silently.He inserted his fingers into the top of his head, pulling out a rune named "Eternity," and handed it to Yu Shan, saying, "Give this rune to Li An and let him refine it." Just then, he suddenly looked up at a corner of the Great Dao's true form world, saying, "Your Immortal Realm is also blessed with outstanding people and abundant resources."Yu Shan also looked up. In the densely packed, boundless Great Dao world, a brand new Great Dao was faintly visible.This Dao was called Ascension.Thirteen to fourteen years old, one must undergo the Tribulation of Martyrdom.If it were a completely new Great Dao, then those who passed the Tribulation of Martyrdom would become the Dao Ancestor of that Dao, granting it a place in the Great Dao's true form, becoming those who are half-step into the realm of kings.This was also why Yu Shan hadn't interacted much with Yu Jingnian.Because he knew that his relationship with Yu Jingnian wasn't one of superior and subordinate; in the future, they might be on the same level.
