Chapter 34: War King Lu

The Aquatic Dao trading quarters are extremely large, and the number of monks coming and going is dense. In addition to cultivating in the cave, monks visit the trading quarters most because they have all the cultivation supplies. We divide the trading quarters into five main areas: the Dan area, the Soldier area, the Beast area, the Medicine area, and the Fighting area.

Each area is headed by an outstanding disciple of the Aquatic Dao elders, and obviously they are only "outstanding" compared to here, where the sea of bitterness is no wider than fifty thousand zhang.

Qi condensation is the realm that forms the foundation of a monk's innate ability. The breadth of the sea of bitterness is crucial. If you can't surpass the ten thousand zhang mark in this realm, you won't be able to condense more than twelve strands of primordial energy in the Chaos Origin Realm in the future.

Ordinary monks can unlock twelve strands of primordial energy from the early to late peak of the Chaos Origin Realm. To surpass the limit of twelve strands of primordial energy, one must first surpass the limit of ten thousand zhang during Qi condensation; otherwise, there is no alternative path. Whenever the sea of suffering rises by ten thousand zhang, it allows for the condensation of two additional strands of primordial energy. For example, if Nathan has a forty-nine thousand zhang sea of suffering, he will be able to condense nearly eight more in the future, in addition to the twelve basic strands of primordial energy.

At present, the deity within his body has completed the process of condensing the embryos of three other deities. The fourth one is about to take shape, and that is when Nathan's cultivation will reach forty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang. Nathan will have to persist in cultivating the fifth deity's embryo. If no miracle occurs, the "ego" in his heart will occupy his body, erupting outward his demonic nature, just like what happened to little Aria.

Despite his limited cultivation, Sam possesses extensive knowledge about the trading hall, which he regularly shares with Nathan.

Senior Brother King Lu is in charge of the Pill Zone, big brother! Last year, he had just successfully navigated the early stages of the Chaos Origin Realm. His strength was exceptional, and his knowledge of alchemy was highly regarded by the renowned alchemists in the Chu Yu Empire.

Miles nodded:

Big brother, although your cultivation is high, you absolutely should not offend the alchemist world. Each of us will need their help at some point. If they were to issue a forbidden pill order, from now on, no one in the Chu Yu Empire would be willing to refine pills for you.

Alchemists typically do not have a high cultivation rate, unlike cultivators who specialize in cultivating supernatural abilities. In order to avoid being forced to refine pills by stronger people, they joined together to form the Alliance, announcing the Forbidden Pill List. As long as you dare to offend a Fourth Grade or higher alchemist, you will be recorded on the Forbidden Pill List, and you will be refused to refine pills for your entire life by the alchemist world.

In reality, the number of people recorded here is not very large—only a few hundred people. And the person currently sitting at the top of this list is none other than Mia's father, Henry.

Because he was looking for a life-saving pill for Mia, he offended countless holy alchemy grounds and was refused help by alchemists from the entire Chu Yu Empire. That was also the reason why he attacked the Holy Land and smashed the statue of the Great Emperor.

"For my daughter, if necessary, I will even smash the heavens!"

Those were the words he left behind before leaving.

Even though they held grudges in their hearts, the alchemists did not dare to do anything with such a domineering person.

As soon as he mentioned someone, someone arrived. From afar, King Lu was leading a group of young disciples to tour the Zane. When he saw Nathan, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he immediately charged forward to attack without warning.

"Death!"

An illusory medicinal cauldron appeared in the air, pressing down on Nathan and the others.

Facing the attack of the Chaos Origin Realm cultivator, Wade, Sam, and Miles were all unable to resist. The pressure forced them to kneel on one knee on the ground, their expressions filled with pain.

Nathan calmly raised his right hand, radiating a powerful spiritual power that prevented the medicinal cauldron from pressing down even an inch further.

Senior Brother King, we have already struck a killer blow upon meeting. What do you want to do?

You still dare to ask me? The seventh son of the King family shares a common mind, and you carry the resentment of the seventh son within you. Numerous forces in the Chu Yu Empire are pursuing you, Nathan, the embodiment of eternal life!

King Lu shouted angrily.

His words shocked the cultivators present in the five commercial districts. Chu Yu Empire had widely spread the story of the genius who caused chaos in the Hansen secret realm.

One hand holds the ultimate beauty of the Chu Yu Empire, while the other holds all the keys to the secret realm, enabling them to face nearly two thousand young experts without fear. How generous is it to choose to enter the ghost realm and embrace becoming the adversary of all geniuses around?

Even in that secret realm, he killed Zachary of the Zane family and Quentin of the Aquatic Dao, and even Young Master Ian Ly had to reluctantly ignore him when mentioning his name.

This person is essentially the same type as Henry—crazy beyond cure.

Zachary commented like that.

Nathan's natural talent is also something that many people discuss. In the short three months since he carried Mia and appeared before the heroes, he broke through the sea of bitterness from one thousand zhang straight to forty thousand zhang. This kind of cultivation speed, except for those demons who possess a Dao body, is rarely comparable to anyone in the past or present.

Wade, Miles, and Sam looked up at Nathan standing in front of them in amazement, unable to believe that they had dared to cause trouble with such a person in the past.

The facts proved that King Lu's words were correct. It should be known that King Lu's Qi Condensation realm opened up to 366,000 zhang; he was considered a genius of the sect. Nathan easily blocked his attack after he breached Qi Condensation, demonstrating his potential. This demonstrated that Nathan's strength must be at or above fifty thousand zhang. Only with a foundation twice as strong as that of a cultivator of a higher realm can one challenge a higher level.

Today, I will make you pay with blood!

King Lu let out a long roar, and behind him, three gods who resembled him appeared. These three gods had undergone the process of integrating spiritual power and forging under the true fire, so they took shape, carrying two parts of the main deity's battle power.

The three gods quickly split into the three remaining directions, surrounding Nathan and the others in the middle. Then they started to attack crazily.

Big brother, let us deal with these gods!

Knowing Nathan's identity, Wade and the others were not only not afraid but also very excited. If Nathan, a character the entire world had to regard as an enemy, grew up in the future, he would undoubtedly surpass Henry in stature. Following such an individual would be worth it, even if he died.

You ants don't know the terrifying location of the Chaos Origin Realm; even if it only carries two parts of my cultivation, it's not something you can disrespect!

The more they fought, the more Wade realized that he was not exaggerating. These three gods possessed the same strength as three Qi Condensation cultivators of thirty thousand zhang, continuously pressing them until they could not breathe.

Hold on for ten moments; wait for me to kill you!

Nathan suddenly said something that stunned the entire audience.

It's ludicrous to claim that you can kill me, even though your innate foundation is higher than mine and your fighting skills barely match mine.

King Lu laughed coldly and controlled the illusory medicinal cauldron to press down.

Seventh, brother, you also thought that I couldn't kill him; you should know what the outcome would be, right?

Now that everyone knew who he was, he had no qualms about using the Star River Transfer. He sacrificed a silver river of milky way to wind around his body and resist the medicinal cauldron.

Heart-penetrating palm!

Nathan struck a palm toward Wang Lu from afar.

The higher the cultivation level, the more powerful the heart-penetrating palm. This type of palm technique bypasses the enemy's defense and directly targets the internal organs. In the past, the Nine Heavenly Profound Maiden relied on this palm technique to shake the human world; very few people could break it.

Because he relied on wearing a Ramie battle suit, King Lu completely ignored the seemingly ordinary palm technique just now. Of course, the result was a heavy palm that nearly crushed his internal organs. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The illusory medicinal cauldron also disintegrated, and his body fell from the air like a kite with a broken string.

Is that all the Evan family's seventh son has? He can't even hold on for ten moments!

Nathan succeeded and immediately stepped forward to strike down with a punch, carrying a sparkling galaxy with the intention of finishing off King Lu.

- Stop!

At this moment, a shout echoed throughout the trading hall.

Miles's expression changed as he said:

It's Elder Ding, King Lu's master!

Wade solemnly said:

Elder Ding, known for his vengeful and protective nature, will not hesitate to accuse you of bullying the weak.

With these two pieces of advice, the corners of Nathan's lips were only slightly raised, forming a faint smile.

King Lu has Elder Ding protecting him, and I have Sect Leader Jiang Chen standing up for me. If someone wants to kill me, how can I let them go just because of a distant warning?

Nathan's fist struck down. At this moment, King Lu's eyes flashed with a sinister light, and a small green sword flew out of his chest and stabbed straight at Nathan's left chest.

- Ramie!

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

- I also have Ramie; check out whose weapon this is!

Nathan knew that the geniuses of the great powers all had Ramie on them and had secretly urged the nine-joint whip in the sea of bitterness. He held the Immortal Slayer in his hand and slammed it down, knocking away the green little sword; then his fist carried the surging spiritual energy of the sparkling galaxy and struck King Lu's head.

Boom!

Nathan unleashed a devastating attack, punching King Lu's head deep into the hole. When he pulled his hand out, no one dared to look into the deep hole, afraid of seeing the miserable scene inside.

Junior, you dare to kill my disciple!

The enormous pressure of a Great Dao realm cultivator suddenly appeared in the sky, causing Nathan's entire body to tremble. He was trembling not out of fear, but because this pressure was too powerful, forcing him to use all of his cultivation to barely stand firm. Wade found himself kneeling on the ground, unable to raise his head.

Kill my disciple, and I'll bury you with him!

A yellow-robed old man appeared. He didn't even need to use any magical powers; just controlling the pressure to concentrate on Nathan was enough to take his life.
