For Cultivators engaged in Secluded Cultivation, it was normal for them to be absent for a decade or so. Therefore, after Li Shou hunted down Lu Xuan, As such, his subsequent year-long disappearance was not strange.
Initially, Long Feihua thought it was unjustified anxiety as he did not have evidence. However, with Lu Xuan’s confession, the truth had finally come to light.
“I killed him because he was trying to kill me, it was only logical!”
Lu Xuan put a radiant smile on his face and he carried himself with a careless attitude.
The masses wore speechless expressions on their faces the moment he said this.
There was nothing wrong with the logic, it was the golden rule: to treat another as you wish to be treated. If he sought to kill, he deserved to be killed.
However, those words were not mere foolhardiness to the Xuanhuo Sect. In fact, they were an indication of the power that Lu Xuan held.
Judging from his demeanor, Lu Xuan was no fool. This meant that Lu Xuan was relying on his own abilities.
Still, his actual potential remained a mystery to all.
“You really do wish to die!”
Long Feihua felt his eyelid twitch at Lu Xuan’s words.
It was hard for him to recall the last time anyone had dared to challenge him or had perceived him as inferior.
No one dared to underestimate him, not even the old Jiao Dragon in the Jiao Dragon Palace or the old demon in the Northern Demonic Sect.
Long Feihua’s own anger was amusing to himself: “Perhaps I had not fought in too long,” he laughed. “Even ants like you are starting to undermine me!”
In the face of the terrifying presence which exploded from Long Feihua’s violent fit of anger, Lu Xuan still maintained his expressionless demeanor as he spoke, “So he can kill me but I can’t kill him? The Xuanhuo Sect are such bullies!”
Even while facing such brutal anger from Long Feihua, Lu Xuan did not falter in the slightest. He had expected this reaction given the experience from his past life, hence the reactions in his current life would not differ greatly from what he expected.
Li Shou may have been just a vice-leader of the Xuanhuo Sect, but he was still one of the candidates to be the next leader. He had an equal if not higher standing than Wen Shengjie.
In the event Wen Shengjie failed to accomplish the last step into the Consolidation Realm, Li Shou would have become the next Xuanhuo Sect Leader.
The death of Li Shuo, therefore, was undoubtedly a heavy loss for the Xuanhuo Sect.
“There’s no need for all the trash you’re spouting right now, Long Feihua. The Xuanhuo Sect have acted like tyrants because you’re so-called number 1 in the world. If you can finish me off, then the Earth is for you to conquer. If not, don’t bother babbling all this nonsense.”
Lu Xuan laughed coldly. All of the problems between them stemmed from one root cause: the Xuanhuo Sect’s intention to colonize the Earth to build a Cultivation base for the sect.
This intention was one that the other forces of the Tempest Ocean Realm had wanted to stop.
The City Lord of Cloud City had called for a Tempest Alliance Meeting for the purpose of altering the plans of the Xuanhuo Sect to allow for the division of Earth among the humans of the Tempest Continent too.
Hence every sect actively participated in the meeting. It was clear to all of them that they had to apply pressure on the Xuanhuo Sect, which was too powerful for each sect and even the other Holy Lands to face by themselves.
They all were not on the same level as the Xuanhuo Sect.
The City lord of Cloud City who proposed this scheme was a tenacious man. Efforts to suppress the Xuanhuo Sect was successful in Lu Xuan’s past life. Ultimately, the entire Tempest Ocean Realm had divided the Earth and the planet became a colony overrun with death and violence.
Decades had passed when Lu Xuan rose and chased them out of Earth. But at that point, much of the civilization on Earth had been destroyed.
However, the events that had unfolded in front of him were not expected by the City Lord of Cloud City. The sudden appearance of Lu Xuan had ruined all of his carefully planned schemes.
Not only had the President of the Steel Knight Association been eliminated, but he too, as the City Lord of Cloud City, had faced defeat at the hands of Lu Xuan.
The biggest twist in the Tempest Alliance Meeting was the appearance of Lu Xuan.
No one had expected the impact Lu Xuan had brought with his presence in the meeting. He had unveiled all the curtains of lies, yet Lu Xuan himself did not seem bothered by the ruckus he had caused.
Murderous intent sparked within Long Feihua’s eyes. In an instant, he had turned the sky into an ocean of flames.
The endless flames began to move slowly towards Lu Xuan.
This was the start of a horrendous battle!
The endless flames engulfed the heavens. To the shocking realization of the masses, the flames that emerged from the hands of Long Feihua were able to burn even the void.
The was the sound of something tearing. Many in the crowd inhaled a breath of fear.
Only Lu Xuan recognised that Long Feihua had reached the peak. If he were able to advance further, the flames from his palms would have been capable of burning through the fabric of space.
Such power was incomparable to what it was today. It was basically the limit of the Consolidation Realm amongst all the medium-class world.
If he was able to excel beyond the Consolidation Realm and reach another realm, he would be untouchable!
He would have the power of the upper-class world. To anyone of the medium-class and lower-class world, it was the equivalent of becoming a god. The mere presence would crush any enemies, it was an undefeatable presence.
The stage of Cultivation that Long Feihua had reached was capable of soaring into another realm. It was a pity that the Cultivation Legacies within the Tempest Ocean Realm was lacking and the process of doing so remained a challenge.
As the upper-class world did not exist within this galaxy and was encompassed within higher-level dimensional barriers, the Ancient Star Path which had connected Earth with the Tempest Ocean realm was unusable.
The only way to reach the upper-class world was through shattering the dimensional barrier. The usual method could not locate the upper-class world.
For Long Feihua whose Cultivation had reached the peak of the Consolidation Realm, he was extremely close to shattering the dimensional barrier. The flames which he emitted were able to burn the void, but unable to burn through it.
Ultimately, he remained a lifeform within the medium-class world who was incapable of further metamorphosis.
He was not alone. In this medium-class world, countless strong heroes had been stuck at this stage of their development.
Long Feihua was one of them. In his past life, Lu Xuan had traded blood sweat and tears, travelled countless medium-class worlds and experienced years of hardship to learn the technique to break the dimensional barrier. Only then, he and Lin Ziyi were able to enter the upper-class world.
However, this did not make Lu Xuan underestimate the powers of Long Feihua.
Lu Xuan instantly dodged a few hundred meters back, but the flames from Long Feihua were relentless and caught up in a split second.
Among the boundless flames, a figure moved at lightning speed towards Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan laughed. “You’re still not a worthy opponent for me, Long Feihua. Try to defeat him first!”
With a wave of his hand, Lu Xuan summoned a monster that was as huge as a mountain.
Once the monster appeared, the boundless flames ceased.
When the flames had vanished, the masses were able to catch a good look of the creature. It was colossal, with swarthy skin, and viciousness was clear on its face. It was none other than a Jiao Dragon.
