Volume 13: Sword Immortal Chapter 21 I came, I saw, I conquered
It finally came out after much anticipation.
The advanced task that finally appeared made Lu Qingshan very happy.
To be honest, Lu Qingshan was really worried that "Deep Blue" had reached its limit and could no longer provide him with help and generate the Eight Tribulations Realm advancement tasks.
Fortunately, it is not, the limit of deep blue is bottomless.
After the surprise, Lu Qingshan began to focus on the mission itself.
Fortunately, the requirement for the Eight Realms Invincibility is only to be invincible in the present era...
After reading the mission description, Lu Qingshan was silent and thought so.
Because even he did not have the confidence that he could defeat Li Qiubai, who was in the eighth realm.
At least his current cultivation level of the Seventh Tribulation Realm is definitely not enough - although Li Qiubai has not set foot in the legendary Nine Tribulations Realm, he has reached the Eighth Tribulation Realm without any surprise.
For a person like Li Qiubai, it is extremely difficult for fellow practitioners to defeat him, let alone defeat him across realms?
Arabian Nights.
Even if it is just a small realm, it is still impossible.
But, what are the criteria for determining who is the best cultivator in the eighth realm today?
Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but ponder.
In his opinion, apart from himself, the strongest among the eight realms cultivators must be Yu Canghai who is in the eighth calamity realm.
He is also the only one in the human race who has reached the eighth calamity realm.
The problem is…
Lu Qingshan calculated carefully. Although his cultivation was one level lower than Yu Canghai's, he had what could be called a perfect foundation in Taoism, plus his secret techniques and Taoist sword. If they really fought to the death, Yu Canghai would not be his opponent.
According to this calculation, this Eight Tribulations Realm advancement task should be shown as completed the moment it appears.
But now, the advanced task is still unfinished in gray, lying motionless on the panel.
What went wrong?
At this moment , Lu Qingshan thought of three possibilities.
First, Yu Canghai is not the strongest cultivator in the Eight Realms. There is still a cultivator in the Tribulation Realm in the world that he has never heard of, and his strength is greater than his.
Second, the judgment of this advanced task was not as "intelligent" as he imagined.
The so-called number one cultivator in the eighth realm of the contemporary world really needs him to prove it himself - the easiest way, of course, is to fight Yu Canghai with real swords to determine the winner.
The third possibility, and the one that best fits the logic of the game, is the judgment mechanism issue - that is, in the judgment mechanism of advanced tasks, a cultivator's combat power takes into account all the forces he can mobilize.
Yu Canghai, on the other hand, possesses the ability to integrate the Changfeng Formation, the ancestral formation of Yumen Pass.
In other words, in Shenlan, when evaluating Yu Canghai's strength, the Changfeng Formation is also taken into account in Yu Canghai's combat power.
Actually, it makes sense if you think about it carefully.
When assessing the strength of a cultivator, would his magic weapon not be taken into account?
Just like the reason why Lu Qingshan is so powerful, in addition to his extraordinary swordsmanship, the power of his natal sword is also an extremely important reason.
Magical weapons are external objects, and formations are also external objects, but they can both be used by cultivators, and they are part of the cultivators' strength.
Among the three possibilities, the first one is the least likely, because if a cultivator really reaches this level and possesses such strength, it is unrealistic to still want to remain unknown.
Practitioners must fight for skills, resources, and luck.
How can one achieve great improvement without contention?
Since you have fought for it, how could it not be known?
This in itself is a very contradictory thing.
As for the remaining two statements, Lu Qingshan felt that they were almost the same in terms of possibility, but they were worlds apart in terms of task difficulty.
If the former is possible, his task becomes very simple.
Given his relationship with Yu Canghai, he could just find an opportunity to exchange ideas.
As long as we defeat Yu Canghai head-on, the mission will be accomplished.
Lu Qingshan has always been very confident in his own abilities.
But if it is the latter possibility, his task of advancing to the Eight Tribulations Realm would become an almost impossible task.
Because, with the help of the power of the Changfeng Array, Yu Canghai was invincible in the battle of Yumen Pass , and even possessed power comparable to that of a sword immortal, and defeated the war lord of the Bingmo clan head-on.
If Lu Qingshan wants to defeat Yu Canghai and prove himself to be the number one cultivator in the eighth realm today, he must first defeat the strongest of the top demon lords like Yu Canghai.
Just like in competitive games, if you want to prove that you are the best in a certain position, the prerequisite is to be a champion. Otherwise, no matter how strong your personal strength is, you can't beat the black guy's question "What champion are you?"
In other words, if it is the third possibility, Lu Qingshan's Eight Tribulations Realm advancement mission will change from [I am invincible in the Eight Tribulations Realm] to [Defeat the strongest demon].
This can be said to be an impossible task.
You have to know that at the moment, even for Luo Jia, who is slightly lower than the War Lord, Lu Qingshan dare not guarantee that he can defeat him head-on.
Not to mention the top Demon Lord at the level of War Lord.
I hope it's the second possibility...
Lu Qingshan pursed his lips slightly. Now he just wanted to reach the Nine Tribulations Realm as soon as possible, and then become a sword immortal before the second battle between Taoism and Demons begins.
A sword immortal who has achieved the ninth calamity realm, even if he fails to become a sword master, should still have the ability to influence the outcome of the battle.
If one only achieves the status of a sword immortal at the Seventh Tribulation Realm, although he is still powerful, he can only be regarded as the backbone of a region and cannot turn the tide.
After all, Futu King City is not a place to stay for long.
With a barely perceptible worry in his heart, Lu Qingshan flew up on his sword and headed towards the end of the skyline.
…
When Lu Qingshan was quickly leaving Futu King City, Luo Jia was rushing back to Futu King City at a high speed, his escape light was like thunder, whizzing across the sky.
Luo Jia's expression was no longer unusually cold and indifferent, but anxious.
"That human villain was not killed on the spot, he has already headed towards our royal city!" The moment he received this news, he could not believe his ears.
This is so subversive.
Not long ago, wasn’t it said that the human killer was at the end of his strength and would be beheaded in the next few days?
I didn't see the head, but I received this kind of news.
Why is this happening?
But now is not the time to think about the reason. The most urgent task is to get back to Futu King City as soon as possible.
But when Luo Jia arrived at the Buddha King City, he was completely petrified.
Where is the Buddha King City?
The once prosperous Futu King City has long since turned into a ruin with broken walls and broken walls everywhere.
This time, the losses were too heavy, and no one knows how many demon cultivators died tragically.
Especially the demon cultivators in the royal city. Even if their cultivation base was not high, they basically had noble bloodlines. Normally, the death of one or two of them would be a big event, but now they were dying in large numbers.
The surviving demon cultivators were cleaning up the mess. When they saw Luo Jia coming, they came forward with trembling hearts.
"What happened..." Luo Jia asked with gritted teeth, "You are not going to tell me that he razed the royal city to the ground in front of so many of you, right?"
…
The other older generation demon cultivators who had left the city to hunt down Lu Qingshan also received the news one after another and rushed back to Futu King City, and then they were all stunned.
"Ancestor, that human cultivator is too crazy. He went through the tribulation in the royal city and framed the strong men of our race, dragging them through the tribulation together. The aftermath of the thunder destroyed the Futu Royal City!"
"He's already here at our doorstep. With so many of you, why couldn't you keep him after the heavenly tribulation ended?" Many demon cultivators who rushed back asked in disbelief.
Then, the surviving demon cultivators remained silent and responded with silence.
For them, the previous scene of thunder and lightning was like a nightmare. Being able to escape it was like being reborn, and they didn't want to recall it again.
"My blood, my children!" An old woman was so angry that she wailed in front of the ruins of a mansion. She even vomited blood on the spot and almost fainted.
She is the ancestor of the Chi Mo clan. Several of her most talented children, whom she valued most and whose bloodline she regarded as the future hope of the Chi Mo clan, all perished in Futu King City. Some were killed by Lu Qingshan and Lieque, while others were simply struck to death by thunder!
…
The news of Futu King City spread quickly and began to spread.
There was a great earthquake in the Buddha King's Realm.
All the demon cultivators who received the news couldn't believe that Lu Qingshan, who was being hunted by countless people, not only survived, but also captured the royal city alone.
This is too outrageous.
All the major Asura families and numerous demon tribes were actually "bullied" to this extent by a human cultivator, and they were helpless against him?
This news, like a hurricane, swept in all directions. In just a few days, it had spread throughout the entire Black Armor Domain and was not limited to the Buddha King Realm.
Even the demon cultivators in the other seven regions received the news one after another, and the strong men from all the holy demon clans were shocked.
