Lu Ke Strength

The heavens roar and the clouds in the sky turned dark. The cultivators in the surroundings looked on with fear, "What is happening?!" A random cultivator shouted.

A scarlet light appear inside the dark clouds. At the appearance of this scarlet light, the roars grew louder and louder until it went calm.

The world went still, the surrounding froze and a terrifying yet dominating will cover the very earth.

In the midst of this Jian Zheng eyes flash with lightning, his sword held with both hands trembling with sweat covers his head.

'Why does this feel like the lightning doesn't want to submit?' When he first began cultivating the Scarlet Conquering Lightning Sword Art the first thing it did was to possess him.

A splitting headache disturb his thoughts causing his sword to fall to the ground. At this moment the palm was just a few feet away from him.

Seeing Jian Zheng still putting up a fight the crowd became excited, but when they saw his sword slip from his control they sighed, "That fellow has reached his limit." An Elder couldn't help but say.

"Jian Zheng!" Scarlett cried out.

"Lu Ke! Stop what you are doing!" The elder from the Asura Cloud Sect shouted with a frightened, yet hesitant look, "Should I save the boy and offend Lu Ke or let the boy die and make a potential weapon go?" The Elder was at a loss of what to do. If he were to offend Lu Ke at this time then his life in the sect could be said to be ruined.

His power in the sect could be said to be at the very top, but in truth the person with the real power in the sect is the Sect Master, Lu Ke and- "Wait, there's one more person and there were rumors that his disciple talent far surpass Lu Ke." At the thought, his eyes flickered only to see a girl whose age seems to be quite young in front of Jian Zheng.

Jian Zheng was already on his knees and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, "It seems like for some reason I can't use Conquer the Earth, but why? Guess my confidence in my trump card is what gets me killed." He closed his eyes, already accepting his death. However a shadow appear next to him at that moment.

He stared at the person wondering what she's doing, 'Does she want to die?'

The girl pink hair dance in the wind and the same for her robes. A butterfly knife spin in her hand as a pink light flash and then disappear.

She raised the butterfly knife at the incoming palm and sliced at it.

The palm was then sliced apart. There was no explosion or any physical damage to be seen neither on the earth nor the girl.

The palm simply turned into particles silencing the crowd.

"Lu Ke is this what gave you your arrogance? You think just because you are in the top 5 so called 'Strongest Youth's' you can do as you please?" The person who appear in front of Jian Zheng was Qin Fenfei and she looked at Lu Ke as if looking down on an ant.

"Qin Fenfei!!!" At first Lu Ke was shocked when he saw the girl split open the Asura Palm that he created using his spiritual energy, but when he saw who caused it rage appear in his eyes.

Even his shout was filled with unending rage, as it lasted quite a long while causing some weak cultivators to shiver in fear.

"An ant dare to call my name! Who do you think you are?" Qin Fenfei sneered with disdain in her eyes. For a long time she couldn't stand the sight of Lu Ke and if it weren't for her uncle constantly telling her not to take action she would have disposed of him long ago.

"Bitch, who you calling a ant!" Lu Ke roared as he sent another Asura Palm formed from his spiritual energy at Qin Fenfei.

The palm speed was actually faster than the last as it was very difficult for Jian Zheng to predict what speed it was travelling at.

Even for the crowd, they couldn't even see that Lu Ke released another palm, at best they could only feel the threat it gave off.

As for those strong elders they were in the same boat as Jian Zheng. They simply could not predict the speed it was traveling at.

"Weak." Qin Fenfei snored as she raised her hand again. The palm landed on her butterfly knife and as the last one, it turned into particles not even causing any damage to the earth.

Jian Zheng was startled and the same was for the crowd, "Haha! As expected of someone who possess such godly body. In the future it won't even be impossible for her to become a divine being!" Scarlett was the only one who wasn't shocked by this as she was the only one who understand what was going on.

Lu Ke was the one who was even more startled. He understood his power better than anyone and not even someone at the Jian stage should be able to endure his Asura Palm much less stop it from causing any damage.

"I don't believe this!" His rage grew and he also felt humiliated and envious. He sent countless Asura Palm made from his spiritual energy.

"Asura Palm 8!"

"Asura Palm 8!"

"Asura Palm 8!"

He yelled and yelled until his entire arm was shivering. Each of his palms travel and were stopped by Qin Fenfei raise of a hand.

Jian Zheng at this moment was completely speechless, "Is this what they call a monster...?" People consider him as a monster type genius because of his ability to fight against those levels above him, but this girl although he couldn't see her cultivation was cutting through Lu Ke Palm strikes like they were made out of tofu.

"Elder Ren congratulations, the Asura Cloud Sect is deemed to become victorious in the upcoming competition." An Elder from the Green Mountain Sect walked up to the elder from the Asura Cloud Sect with a smile on his face.

"What are you talking about? Aren't there also the rest of the top 5? The possibility of Lu Ke winning is less than twenty out of a hundred." Elder Ren shook his head, "Those geniuses shouldn't be underestimated." His response caused the other elders nearby to nod their heads.

Most of the elders here were at the Body Transformation 5th stage while a few like Elder Ren are at the 9th stage. But even with such high cultivation that could practically make them stand at the top of the Border Lands rankings they don't dare to act arrogant to any of the top 100 Strongest Youth's and that's because anyone who managed to make it to the top 100 list were all in the Body Transformation Realm with the ability to cross stages to fight against those who are at the Jian Stage.

This is why they were all stupefied by Jian Zheng ability to fight against Lu Ke much less cripple his arm.

"Even still you have Lu Ke who can already go up against the top 5, a mysterious young lady whose strength is unknown and that young sword cultivator who have yet to breakthrough to the Body Transformation Realm." The Green Mountain Sect elder replied with mouthful of praises.

Elder Ren was about to reply when a wild aura travel their way. They turn to see that a black and white energy was leaking out of Lu Ke body.

"That's the Asura Energy!" Elder Ren shouted, very shocked by what he's seeing.

"Asura Energy!" The other elders of the various sects who heard Elder Ren shout was even more shocked.

The Asura Energy is a type of energy that can absorb the spiritual energy of the world to strengthen ones power by thirty folds.

Its said that when the Asura Cloud Sect ancestor founded the sect he used this technique to overthrown the other sects of that time. Making the Asura Cloud Sect the Supreme ruler of the Cloud Empire.

Sadly, when something reach a certain height its only destination is to fall. As nothing can remain supreme forever. The Ancestor died two hundred years later and after his death the Cloud Empire, Yellow Cloud Sect, Green Mountain Sect and Sword Cloud Sect were found.

Lu Ke depleted spiritual energy gathered back at a crazy rate, "Bitch I will show you the true might of my Asura Cloud Sect!" Lu Ke clench his teeth as his veins could be seen on his skin like they were trying to burst from his skin.

He took in a deep breath and stared at Qin Fenfei seriously, this attack will determine who wins, "Asura Palm 9!" The mortal doa gather together as a clear picture of scared kneeling slaves entered everyone mind.

"H-Heavenly Dao! What is such Dao doing in a secular place like this?!" Scarlett eyelids tremble.

Hearing that this was the Heavenly Dao, Jian Zheng became alarmed. He grab his sword realizing that things were about to get serious.

"You actually managed to make the Heavenly Daos notice you?" Qin Fenfei raised an eyebrow. She was actually surprised by Lu Ke achievement.

The ball of spiritual energy- no Asura Energy grew in Lu Ke hand. He raised his head to the sky and went down on his two knees, "God of Asura! Please bestow this loyal servant the power to destroy those that blaspheme you!" Lu Ke suddenly shouted at the heavens, shocking those who witnessed it.

When he finished praying something was drawn behind him. A being covered in black and white with six arms was quickly drawn and a mighty yet cruel power descended.

"That's impossible! How do you possess a Mortal Diagram. No- How were you able to draw it in your mind so quickly? Not even those from the Abandoned Lands have such talent!" Qin Fenfei was actually frightened. All this time she believed Lu Ke to be steps below her. Yet today, she find out she was the one was actually behind. She couldn't accept these facts.

"Qin Fenfei, you and your uncle has caused us too much trouble. Hindering our growth and even leading us to take certain measures to achieve our goals." Lu Ke clenched his fist tightly, at this very moment he felt like anything was possible, that he could destroy anyone even those at Blood Circulation Realm with this one attack. He looked at Qin Fenfei and continued, "I wasn't planning to kill you this early, but since you want to die then I will grant you your wish!" He raised his clenched palm and the earth tremble, the mortal dao scattered not daring to stay.

"Asura Palm 9!" Lu Ke raised hand dropped down sending a huge palm print towards Qin Fenfei and Jian Zheng, the huge palm locked down the earth destroying everything in its path.

Qin Fenfei grit her teeth, she could actually block this attack, but she would have to pay an heavy price to do so. She looked at Jian Zheng who was behind her and then made up her mind, 'I won't let such a talent die by this bastard.'

Her already pink hair glowed brighter and she used her butterfly knife to cut both her arms causing a large amount of blood to leak out.

"Jian Zheng stop her! She's about to cripple her physique!" Scarlett yelled in his head. Seeing her bleeding arms he was suddenly reminded of how he had to pay a price to defeat Mo Nie. By using Conquer the Earth his cultivation have been affected by quite a lot. Now it would take twice the effort to reach the other stages, luckily for him he doesn't have to familiarize himself with each stage he breakthrough and his talent could already be considered god like. So even though it would take twice the effort to breakthrough, compare to others he is a hundred times better.

Jian Zheng grabbed Qin Fenfei shoulder startled her, "Senior Qin thank you for your kindness." He gave her a warm and thankful smile before throwing her tens of meters away.

The crowd was actually shocked when they saw this, 'Doesn't he want to live?' They thought.

'He's doomed.' Elder Ren also couldn't understand why Jian Zheng did that.

"This little brother is too kind." Shan Liang sighed. He was angry at first by how Jian Zheng used him, but that anger went away the moment he saw how powerful he was even with his lack of cultivation.

"Why?" Qin Fenfei was dumbfounded, she stared at Jian Zheng smiling face and felt that she was useless, 'I couldn't even protect someone who needs help.' Tears fell from her face.

"Scarlett are you ready?" Jian Zheng turn to the approaching palm print.

Scarlett responded by lightening up her runes.

"Good." The Phoenix Tears in his dantian enter his sword, his sword aura was unleashed along with his intents that created a strange domain around him.

His hands shine with purple light and his sword was covered in white rays.

"I can't use Conquer the Earth. However..." True Dao flash in between his eyes, "This should be enough."
