Peerless Taoist

Lu Yu muttered these two words without any expression. He stepped through the majestic gate.    

The surroundings were silent, as if the people here had long disappeared, leaving only the glorious palace.    

Of course, Lu Yu would not be so naive as to think that Penglai would leave just like that. This was a chess piece that the Eternal Night Palace had set up here, so there would definitely be some tricks.    

Suddenly, Lu Yu felt a hidden danger approaching. After cultivating the Life Skill, Lu Yu's perception of danger was quite sharp.    

An intense uneasiness surged into his heart. Lu Yu retreated abruptly, and at the same time, he hid himself in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.    

Rumble ~ ~    

From the horizon, waves of intense rumbling sounds came.    

A terrifying aura spread out. It was as if it could destroy the heavens and the earth. It ruthlessly crushed towards Lu Yu's direction, and the void could not withstand this terrifying power and began to be torn apart inch by inch.    

In the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the bell chimes trembled, and a powerful rumbling sound suddenly burst out from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, spreading in all directions.    

The two forces collided, and in the end, they gradually dissipated. The Eight Trigrams Furnace forcefully blocked this attack.    

"I didn't expect that the magic treasure of the Eternal King Realm would not be able to kill you. It seems that you have quite a few secrets!" A cold voice came from the horizon.    

Lu Yu walked out of the world of the Eight Trigrams Furnace and immediately saw a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown standing proudly in the sky. He was staring at him with an indifferent expression.    

Being stared at by this gaze, Lu Yu suddenly felt as if a sword was pointed at his throat.    

Penglai, Xuan Emperor!    

He was the father of the Imperial Prince, the controller of Penglai, and also the person behind the scenes who controlled everything.    

"You have been hiding your head and hiding your tail all this time, just to lure me here? Was that the method you used to deal with me just now?" Lu Yu said coldly.    

"You are indeed extraordinary. I will not underestimate you. I must use the strongest method to kill you." Xuan Emperor said in a low voice.    

Unlike the other opponents that Lu Yu had faced before, the Xuan Emperor in front of him gave Lu Yu an extremely unfathomable feeling.    

His emotions did not flow out of his face. Even when Penglai was in such a big trouble, his expression was still cold and indifferent, and there was no change in his emotions.    

"With just this?"    

Lu Yu's gaze fell on the sword in Xuan Emperor's hand.    

The sword was not an ordinary item. It was unknown what material it was made of. There were faint shadows of runes on it, and there was even the fluctuation of an artifact spirit. However, the aura it released just now was even stronger than an ordinary immortal artifact.    

Lu Yu could only feel this aura from Yan Guihong's Black Tortoise War Chariot. However, the quality of this long sword was definitely a few levels higher than Yan Guihong's Black Tortoise Chariot.    

"With this, it naturally cannot trap you. But what about my great formation?" The Profound Emperor's voice continued to echo in this space.    

As the Profound Emperor's words fell, intense fluctuations came from all directions. The space where the two of them were located seemed to have been separated from all the other spaces in this time.    

"This formation..." Lu Yu frowned slightly.    

"That's right! Your performance has already been taken seriously by others. Now, there is an Eternal King Realm expert who wants to kill you!" The Profound Emperor said indifferently, "You will die without any regrets if you can die under the great formation of an Eternal King Realm expert!"    

As soon as the Profound Emperor's voice fell, many of the palaces around them suddenly exploded, and pillars of light shot straight into the sky.    

The powerful pillars of light rushed towards Lu Yu. They contained a terrifying and unparalleled power, and one could feel the aura of destruction coming from them.    

The Profound Emperor's expression became even colder. It seemed that Lu Yu's defeat was only a matter of time.    

However, something unexpected happened. The powerful pillars of light seemed to be blocked by some kind of power when they got close to Lu Yu, and they were unable to advance even an inch.    

"What kind of magic treasure is this?" This time, the Mysterious Emperor's expression changed drastically.    

His expression immediately turned sinister, "To kill you, I used too much power. No matter what, you will die today!"    

The Mysterious Emperor desperately circulated his mana and poured it into the long sword in his hand. The light pillar crushed down with all its might, wanting to destroy Lu Yu.    

However, the Eight Trigrams Furnace did not move. On the surface, there was a faint aura of annihilation being released, blocking this sword Qi.    

Lu Yu used a magic technique to hide the Eight Trigrams Furnace's appearance. The Mysterious Emperor could only sense that Lu Yu had a treasure, but he did not know what it was.    

Lu Yu was forcefully resisting!    

Even though the Eight Trigrams Furnace could block the killing intent of the sword Qi, its power was still there.    

If Lu Yu was not a Martial Emperor and his body, which was at the eleventh level of the Earth Realm, was far stronger than ordinary people, he would not have been able to withstand it at all. His body would have been shattered on the spot.    

However, Lu Yu did not show it. He looked at the Mysterious Emperor with high fighting spirit, "Your son has already been killed by me. Don't you want to avenge them?"    

The Mysterious Emperor said indifferently, "I have over ten thousand sons. If they die, so be it. My goal today is to get rid of you!"    

He was not angered, and continued to maintain a distance from Lu Yu. At the same time, he used the long sword in his hand and continuously attacked Lu Yu.    

"No, I can't let him continue to waste my energy like this!"    

With the Spiritual Sense, Lu Yu could tell that the cultivation level of the Mysterious Emperor was at least at the third level of the Heavenly Realm, and he could comprehend all kinds of techniques.    

Cultivators at this level had boundless magical power, not to mention that Xuan Emperor was actually born cautious and careful. He knew that Lu Yu's close combat strength was strong, so he did not plan to fight Lu Yu in close combat. Instead, he wanted to pull away from Lu Yu and slowly grind Lu Yu to death.    

"That will depend on whether you have the ability to do so!"    

Lu Yu suddenly moved. His entire body was like a swimming dragon, flexible and unpredictable. In an instant, he left behind many afterimages in the void, pulling away from Xuan Emperor.    

Xuan Emperor frowned, but he did not expect Lu Yu to be so decisive. Immediately, he chanted a spell and summoned many light Fu Lu, fighting with Lu Yu.    

The two sides were fighting fiercely, and the outside world was completely ignorant. The Qin army was anxious, but there was nothing they could do.    

This was a trap that Xuan Emperor had prepared a long time ago. He wanted to bury Lu Yu here.    

This was a fatal trap!    

There were still 800,000 Penglai cultivators surrounding the Heavenly Palace. They joined hands to maintain the formation, wanting to trap Lu Yu here.    

However, even the wise Xuan Emperor did not expect that a living being would sneak in.    

...    

On the four dog's paws, Blackie, who was wearing more than ten storage bracelets, glanced at the Heavenly Palace with a sneaky look. "Junior Monkey, do you think we should go and help Lu Boy?"    

It was so fast that it actually led the Qin army and rushed straight to Penglai's treasury.    

This time, it had really gained a lot. All the experts of Penglai were watching the Qin army, and they did not expect that the backyard would be on fire.    

This made Dahei very rich, and he returned with a full basket.    

Monkey shook his head. "The area he is in is covered by a formation. We can't break in."    

"Why don't we just retreat? We have made a lot of money this time. Let's just build a big grave for Lu Boyu and wait for the Ancestor to recruit soldiers and buy horses. Then we can take revenge for him!" Dahei was very ungrateful.    

Monkey grabbed the dog's head and pointed in a direction of the formation. "That is the formation point. If we break through that formation point, we might be able to break in."    

In the distance, there was a pillar of light rising beside the formation point.    

From the looks of it, this was the location of the formation point of the great formation.    

There were countless Penglai cultivators guarding it, so it must be a very important place.    

"There are a lot of people." Dahei was a little hesitant.    

There were thousands of people gathered around the formation point. Moreover, there were a few powerful auras. Just on the surface, there were five Earth Realm experts.    

"This will need you."    

Monkey said solemnly, "Lure them away. I will take the opportunity to break through the formation point!"    

Dahei immediately became anxious. "Damn it! Damn monkey, why don't you go!"    

Monkey said, "This formation point is extremely sturdy. Your strength is not enough, so it's suitable for you to lure the enemy. I will be in charge of attacking the fort!"    

It then said in a deep voice, "You have quite a lot of wealth, but that is because Lu Yu is protecting you. Without Lu Yu's protection, I'm afraid that the properties under your command will be plundered by Penglai in the blink of an eye."    

The big black eyes twitched, and its mouth trembled. A strong sense of foreboding enveloped its heart.    

To it, those properties were its life, and it could not afford to lose them!    

The monkey provoked again, "Think about it, these people of Penglai are all evil and vicious. If the gods of Penglai were alive, they would probably not be able to rest in peace."    

The big black dog's fur trembled once again.    

This was its heart knot. It never thought that it would be brought up by the monkey again, and the anger in its heart rose even more.    

"Good, good, good! Damned monkey, you have completely provoked the anger of the Ancestor!" The big black moved its neck, revealing a ruthless expression.    

"Go! This kind of war that destroys a force will definitely be recorded in history. I don't care about my reputation, but you can leave a mark in the annals of history!"    

The monkey patted the big black's head and said, "Try to attract more enemies. I reckon that destroying a formation point won't affect it."    

"Damn it, I am ordered to do this!"    

The big black gritted its teeth and revealed a ferocious expression. "I am not doing this for Lu Yu, but for my properties!"    

After saying this, it turned into a sharp arrow and rushed towards the direction of the grand array.    

The grand array of the Heavenly Palace was majestic and vast. Immortals gathered here, and the Penglai cultivators were lined up in formation, looking nervous.    

Suddenly, a loud dog’s howl resounded through the sky, startling everyone.    

“Everyone, look at me! Look at me! I announce a matter!”    

The big black dog’s howl was sudden and earth-shattering.    

Some Penglai cultivators didn’t even hold onto their magic swords properly, and were immediately frightened to the ground. They stared at the distant horizon with dumbfounded expressions, and a wretched black dog flew over.    

The 800,000 Penglai cultivators all looked at this dog.    

“Whose dog is this? Why isn’t it tied up!” The cultivator who dropped his sword was both embarrassed and angry as he said in a low voice.
