Chapter 958: Newcomers and Oldcomers (1)
It was a dragon-headed hammer.
The shape was like an old dragon with its head chopped off and a long, thin chain covered with barbs connected to the back, turning it into a meteor hammer with a strange shape and full of weird beauty!
Countless electric lights flickered and jumped on the meteor hammer, and dull loud noises were heard from time to time. The dragon head hammer, which was as big as a house, shone with light and exuded a suffocating dragon power. The chain, which was as thick as an ordinary person's arm, was tightly linked with each other. Thumb-sized electric runes were prominent and surrounded on the chain, like countless snake scales wrapped around the body, gorgeous and magnificent, but also chilling.
The meteor hammer came from a distance of billions of miles. Lu Yi and the others looked over along the winding and jumping thin chain. In the far distance, almost at the edge of the star field of Hei Ze Star, a man wearing a purple robe with mountain and river patterns on it, with long hair and a smooth black mask on his face, was standing on a small bamboo raft no more than ten feet long. The chain was wrapped around his hands, and his whole body was emitting dazzling lightning!
Thunder and lightning are the orders of heaven. They are divine instruments of heavenly punishment. In addition to the Five Military Offices, the Supreme Heavenly Court has four major palaces: Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning. These four palaces supervise the operation of the weather and control the avenues of nature. They are the most powerful institutions in the Heavenly Court. In particular, the Thunder and Lightning Palaces are another powerful war department in the Heavenly Court besides the Five Military Offices.
The Heavenly Palace is the imperial court, and the Five Military Offices are the regular army of the imperial court, responsible for suppressing the world and sweeping away the demons. Then the Thunder Palace and Lightning Palace are special forces outside the regular army. Their members have higher average cultivation, better salaries, better equipment, and are responsible for more difficult targets than the Five Military Offices.
Therefore, the road of thunder and lightning is basically controlled by the Heavenly Court.
But the road of thunder and lightning is too broad, there are yang thunder, yin thunder, sky thunder, ground thunder, water thunder, fire thunder, pure yang thunder, less yang thunder, Taiyin thunder, less yin thunder, even phosphorus fire thunder, nine nether thunder and so on...
Although the Heavenly Court is powerful, the great Dao of heaven and earth it controls is only about 40% of all the great Daos of the Supreme Primordial Heaven. There are a large number of Daos that are independent of the Heavenly Court system... Just like the masked man standing on the bamboo raft in front of him, the lightning that is jumping and surging around him is black in color, and faintly emits a faint fishy smell. Although the sound of thunder and fire is grand and mighty, the power is slightly feminine, and it carries a hint of not very pure coldness.
This is some kind of extremely unconventional, 'Hell Fire Poison Thunder'. It has fire, poison, and is soft and moist, and can hurt people invisibly!
It was a minor thunder method, and its means were somewhat sinister. The two major halls of Thunder and Lightning in Heaven did not control this thunder method, which was of medium to low power and not very bright and glorious.
This masked man condensed the Imperial Seal Dao Fruit with this Nether Fire Poison Thunder. Moreover, unlike the rookie King Qiu Gui, this masked man had obviously been immersed in it for a long time. His magic power, magical powers, and the various poisonous thunder changes he mastered were much stronger than King Qiu Gui's.
More importantly, this strangely shaped dragon-headed hammer is clearly an imperial weapon!
What is the Imperial Army?
Use the best materials, the strongest materials, the materials that best fit the rhyme of the great road that you control, forge it carefully, and nurture it with care... transform it from tangible to intangible, and from intangible to tangible, and transform it at least nine times, allowing the rhyme of the road to permeate every tiny corner of it, giving it the rhyme quality of "immortality and indestructibility". This is probably the "Emperor's Soldier".
Apart from those powerful creatures born from heaven and earth, which are naturally divine weapons that have reached the level of "Emperor Weapons"...how difficult it is to forge an Emperor Weapon after birth...it is a handful of bitter tears, and those who have not tried it can't imagine it at all.
But how powerful are the imperial soldiers?
According to the Heavenly Rules and Precepts formulated by the Great Emperor Taichu and his men, which cover the entire Supreme Taichu Heaven, and the principles of practice under this set of Heavenly Rules and Precepts, even the most ordinary imperial weapon can increase the strength of a great emperor by nine times!
There are 480 million acupoints in the human body. The prerequisite for becoming an emperor is to open up all 480 million acupoints.
Every acupoint has the power of nine scales and nine claws.
If he condenses the Dao Fruit of the Emperor's Seal, then a rookie emperor who has just stepped into the threshold of the Great Emperor will be able to increase the power of each of the 480 million acupoints to extraordinary levels, doubling the power of the eighteen scales and eighteen claws.
And an imperial weapon, even the weakest imperial weapon, can increase its combat power nine times based on its eighteen scales and eighteen claws!
One hundred and sixty-two scales, one hundred and sixty-two claws!
After the Great Emperor Taichu and his men formulated this set of Heavenly Rules and Precepts, they were recognized by the Supreme Taichu Heaven and Earth, and were engraved on the origin of the world, constraining everything, covering everything, and ruling everything... The simple numbers 'four hundred and eighty million' and 'nine' turned into two shackles, which were put on the necks of all the cultivators. At the same time, they turned into clear steps, waiting for all the cultivators to strive to climb up!
This is the shackles, this is the truth, and this is the clearest and fairest benchmark!
This dragon head hammer is the imperial weapon.
Then, the real strength of this masked man is, at worst, nine times that of King Qiu Gui.
"Here comes a powerful guy!" Tianshu Laojun took out a few glowing magic pills and poured them into his mouth. He smiled and spat out a mouthful of blood. White light flashed all over his body. All the blood and mess were swept away. He returned to the clean, amiable, and seemingly harmless appearance of a gentle old man.
"This one!" The Lord of Heavenly Book greeted the masked man with a smile.
Large flashes of lightning flashed on the dragon head hammer, accompanied by deafening thunder. Countless dark purple lightning flashed like a rainstorm, madly roaring towards Tianshu Laojun, Lu Yi, and Linghu's private fleet.
With a "hiss", a ray of white light flashed in the void. King Qiu Gui, who was beaten badly by the Lord of Heavenly Book, his huge fleet, as well as Lord Peony and Lord Rose, all flashed in the white light and disappeared without a trace.
The dragon head hammer shrank rapidly and returned to the masked man in an instant.
The small bamboo raft brought up a long wind and drew a huge arc silently. On the raft, on a raised thin bamboo pole, a palm-sized jade plate shook gently, a ray of light flashed, and the void in front suddenly sank, revealing a star gate passage with a diameter of one hundred feet.
The bamboo raft plunged into the star gate passage and disappeared in a flash.
The Lord of Heavenly Book did not chase after him.
Purple lightning fell from the sky, and the Lord of Heavenly Book waved his sleeves, causing ripples in the air, like a big net that swallowed up all the countless lightning. Whether it was the lightning that hit Lu Yi or the lightning that fell on Linghu's private fleet, all the lightning that was filled with a faint fishy smell and full of evil power was turned into nothingness by him.
His well-maintained old face, as rosy and delicate as that of a seven or eight-year-old child, was now wrinkled with countless fine wrinkles due to worry. He took back his own ruler, shook it lightly, and it turned into a whisk again, and he slowly dusted his two boots.
"I'm worried!" Tianshu Laojun murmured, " Your Majesty is clearing up the Tianshu Secret Pavilion case, and it hasn't been closed yet. How come two more Secret Pavilion treasures appeared?"
"One is to rescue King Qiu Gui and his men's 'Xiaoyao Dou'er. This is a valuable treasure. It is separated by a realm, but as long as you call out their real names, gather your strength and energy for a cup of tea, and lock on to the causal energy, you can take the person away directly."
"One is the bamboo raft. Haha, that was the Great Emperor who fell in love with fishing for a while. One hundred master craftsmen from the Craftsmanship House worked together to build the 'Carefree Raft'. It looks like an ordinary bamboo raft, but it can break all formations and prohibitions, travel through forbidden areas, and pass through formations as if it were in an empty space. It can also travel through the void, and can pass through hundreds of celestial realms in an instant!"
"Xiaoyao Dou'er, Wuyou Fu'er... two treasures used by the Great Emperor!" Tianshu Laojun turned around, glanced at Lu Yi, and hummed weakly: "I will report this matter to the Great Emperor. You, just pretend you don't know about it."
"In the past few days, the Heavenly Court has killed a lot of people. Many of them deserved it, innocent people, people who deserved to die, and people who didn't deserve to die. Enough people have died... Hey, hey, let me think of a way to report this matter to His Majesty?"
"Then, King Qiu Gui?" Lu Yi looked at Tianshu Laojun very seriously.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor... Whose son caused the trouble, let him... his father... ahem, let his 'father' take care of it." The Heavenly Book Lord muttered, "If it were an ordinary emperor's son who did such a thing, he would be punished, and that's it."
"However, since Your Majesty is an outsider after all, it is not easy to punish the son of the Emperor who has condensed the Dao Fruit of the Emperor's Seal. Generally speaking, this matter still needs to be handled by Emperor Taiyu himself... The heart of the Emperor is unpredictable, who knows?"
The Lord of Heavenly Book shook his head and said nothing.
However, a very subtle voice sounded in Lu Yi's ears: "Prince Qiu Gui has condensed the Imperial Seal Dao Fruit, and his status is very different. I'm afraid there will be some changes on the Linghu side. These days, you can get as much benefit as you can from the Linghu family, just do it... Tsk!"
"Emperor Taiyu is not someone you can easily get along with. Among all the emperors, the one I fear the most and the one that gives me the most headaches is 'him'!"
The Lord of the Heavenly Book shook his head slightly, looking worried.
Lu Yi looked at Laojun of the Heavenly Book, a question was on the tip of his tongue, but he held it back - 'Speaking of which, how many great emperors are there in this Supreme Taichu Heaven nowadays?'
Also, how do these emperors judge each other's cultivation and realm?
Seeing the worried look on Tianshu Laojun's face, Lu Yi hesitated for a moment. Well, he would ask again after some time.
However, we can take as much benefits as we can from the Linghu family.
What Tianshu Laojun meant was that Emperor Taiyu's attitude towards the Linghu family would change?
Does this mean that Lu Yu is preparing to reap all the benefits and then retreat quickly?
Well……
Lu Yu's status was too low to be involved in too many real 'core secrets'... After all, no matter his identity, cultivation, background, backers, origin, bloodline, etc., he was just an ordinary little person in this world, a 'tool man' who was appreciated by the Lord of the Heavenly Book and had some luck and was thrown out casually.
Therefore, Lu Yu was very diligent and carefully played his role as a tool.
Don’t look at what you shouldn’t look at.
Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.
Don’t say what you shouldn’t say.
As the Linghu clan's huge fleet returned along the original route, the Hei Ze star field had been razed to the ground by King Qiu Gui's rampage, and almost all the indigenous people were killed...and perhaps it was Laojun Tianshu, or perhaps Linghu Tian and others from the Linghu clan, who needed to give an explanation to their superiors?
Linghu's private fleet, together with the Five Military Forces army brought by Tianshu Laojun, carried out a comprehensive and thorough cleansing of the vast and chaotic Dahei Mountain on their way back.
Well-known forces were wiped out, strongholds of sufficient size were breached, and countless bandits and robbers hiding in the Dahei Mountain area were killed.
All the agencies under the Heavenly Secretary's jurisdiction promptly dispatched celestial officials and clerks to take over the Great Black Mountain area, where they established a new 'Black Mountain Star Palace' and sent a star god to command a million warships.
The real body of Laojun of the Heavenly Book returned to the Heavenly Palace to report to the Great Emperor Taichu.
Lu Yi stayed in Linghu's private fleet, accompanying Linghu Tian and others, commanding the fleet to sweep the Black Mountain Star Mansion area. This sweep took Wushang Taichu Tian a full five years to manage the chaotic Great Black Mountain.
Finally, one day, Lu Yi returned to Linghu Yuncheng.
Three clear, cold and chilly sword lights shot up from the city like long rainbows, heading straight for Lu Yi. The three Qingyou girls had already woken up, and their achievements had greatly improved. They had obtained three top-quality swords from nowhere, and flew into the air with their swords, heading straight for Lu Yi.
Qingyou is the eldest sister, and is still a little reserved. Her body quietly blends into the sword light, floating in the air, smiling quietly, looking at Lu Yi.
Qing Ning and Qing Meng's eyes sparkled with tears in their eyes, and they rushed directly into Lu Yi's arms... With two dull thuds, Lu Yi's body was shaken, and the two girls who rushed over in a hurry made stars flash before their eyes, and two lumps of flesh appeared on his forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye!
During the ascension of the ancient city of Loulan, the huge explosion caused by Linghu Xiong caused many old acquaintances of Lu Yi and Qingyou to be wiped out, and some were even caught in the chaos and disappeared without a trace... Lu Yi had just reunited with the three women when they fainted due to exhaustion. After that, Lu Yi was busy running around, and it was not until today that he really saw them again.
The three girls had countless words to say in their hearts, and all the emotions in their hearts had already turned into a pool of bitter wine, which they were just about to pour out on Lu Yi to taste... As a result, this guy suddenly bumped into them, and all the emotions in the heads of the sisters Qingning and Qingmeng were thrown into the sky, and all their sorrows and sadness were mostly gone.
Covering the lump on his head angrily, Qing Ning muttered in a low voice: "That lousy Emperor Yin Yuan has made the same old mistake again!"
Lu Yu's heart suddenly trembled!
'Old mistake'?
What did Yin Yuan do again? He, he, he provoked the noble lady of Linghu clan again?
