Zu Long explained everything clearly, the truth came to light, and all the doubts in everyone's hearts were answered. However, no one was happy; there was only heaviness and anger!
"Kill! At worst, we'll fight our way out and fight that Yuanluo Palace to the death!"
"Yes, let's fight our way out! Even if we die, we'll kill our fill!"
Many of the hot-tempered ones started yelling. Zu Long raised his hand, and everyone quieted down.
"War? How should we fight?"
Zu Long shook his head slightly and sighed, "Do you know how strong the Yuanluo Palace is? It's simply incomparable to the Evil God Clan!"
“I can tell you that I, the Prison Suppressor Ancestor, the Killing Heart Saint Ancestor, and the Alien Saint Ancestor were all once members of the Yuanluo Palace. In the Yuanluo Palace, we were just ordinary guards, and there were tens of thousands of guards like us in the Yuanluo Palace!”
Hiss...
Zu Long's words caused a collective gasp to rise from the crowd.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Zulong, Zhenyu Laozu, and Yizu Shengzu are all martial gods. In the Heavenly Realm and the Evil God Realm, they are mythical beings, deities!
However, such beings are merely ordinary guards in the Yuanluo Palace, and there are tens of thousands of such guards.
How can we fight like this?
The enemy could easily wipe them out by sending in just a few martial gods.
The primordial universe is also known as the realm of gods.
The realm of gods, as the name suggests, is the world of deities.
"The four of us were sent here by the Yuanluo Palace to guard this place. To put it bluntly, we were sent here precisely because we were weak. Therefore, it is difficult for us to resist the Yuanluo Palace. However, a minor world is still a minor world. It is too weak overall. So, powerful beings that are too terrifying cannot enter. If they do, they will shatter the minor world. Therefore, we are not without hope!"
The First Emperor said again.
However, most people looked despairing.
They couldn't imagine facing a force with tens of thousands of martial gods.
How do they fight back?
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. You may all leave now. Go back to what you were doing, and continue your cultivation. If the people from the Yuanluo Palace descend, we can simply fight them!"
The Way of the Ancestral Dragon.
"That's right, at worst we'll fight, and if we die, we die!"
Some people yelled.
Many others sighed.
Originally, they were overjoyed and excited to have defeated the evil god race, but unexpectedly, an even more terrifying enemy appeared.
This situation is truly despairing!
Most of them left with heavy hearts!
Lu Ming did not leave. He told Xie Nianqing and the others to go back first, while he stayed behind because he still had questions he wanted to ask Zulong.
Soon after, everyone left, leaving only Lu Ming and Zu Long.
"Lu Ming, I know you still have questions. What do you want to know?"
The Way of the Ancestral Dragon.
“Senior, I do have a question. Since Yuanluo Palace has so many experts, and even the alien race’s Holy Ancestor could break the Heaven-Suppressing Talisman, why didn’t the experts of Yuanluo Palace break it directly from the outside?”
Lu Ming asked.
"Indeed, the Heaven-Suppressing Seal, although obtained by Zhenyu from an ancient ruin, is extremely powerful. Once sealed from within the Heavenly Realm, it can mobilize the power of the entire Heavenly Realm. Ordinary Martial Gods would find it difficult to break through from the outside, but stronger Martial Gods could indeed break through from the outside!"
"However, the Lesser Thousand Worlds are fragile. If they are forcibly breached, the entire Heavenly Realm will collapse and be destroyed. The Yuanluo Palace is reluctant to do so. What they want most is to destroy us and open up from the inside. In this way, the Heavenly Realm and the Yuan Realm can still become places for them to continue cultivating 'medicinal herbs'!"
The Way of the Ancestral Dragon.
This answer truly left Lu Ming quite helpless. The reason the other side didn't attack was because they were afraid of destroying the Heavenly Realm. If the other side were to become ruthless, they could probably destroy the Heavenly Realm at any time.
Their fates were not in their own hands.
"Next, Yuanluo Palace will definitely not send in any too powerful beings, but they will probably send in someone below the third level of the Void God Realm!"
The First Emperor said again.
"The Void God Realm?"
Lu Ming was puzzled.
"Yes, this is the realm division of the Martial God Realm. Generally, those who have just become Martial Gods are in the Void God Realm!"
Zu Long nodded.
"Are there any realms above the Void God Realm?"
Lu Ming asked curiously.
"Yes, above the Void God Realm, there are the True God Realm, the Heavenly God Realm, and the God King Realm. Each realm is divided into nine levels!"
The Way of the Ancestral Dragon.
"Virtual God Realm, True God Realm, Heavenly God Realm, God King Realm!"
Lu Ming murmured to himself, "So there's another realm above the Martial God. I still have a long way to go."
Although he is very strong now, he is only at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, the Primordial Realm, and the Evil God Realm. However, the Heavenly Realm, the Primordial Realm, and the Evil God Realm are just one of the countless minor worlds. Compared with the Primordial Universe, they are nothing.
“Those at the fourth level of the Void God Realm are too powerful. Their divine power surges and could easily cause a place like the Heavenly Realm to collapse. Therefore, they will most likely send in those below the third level of the Void God Realm!”
"However, anyone below the third level of the Void God Realm who enters will definitely be attacked by the Heaven-Suppressing Talisman and will absolutely be injured. So, we may still have a chance, but we must be careful. The difference between each level of the Void God Realm is huge, far beyond what the Heavenly Emperor Realm can compare to!"
"As for me, the Holy Ancestor of the Alien Race, Zhenyu, and Shaxin are all at the first level of the Void God Realm. Lu Ming, although you are currently at the first-star Heavenly Emperor level and can fight against a first-level Void God Realm being, even if you break through to the second-star Heavenly Emperor level, you probably still won't be able to fight against a second-level Void God Realm being. Do you understand?"
Emperor Zulong gave a serious warning.
Lu Ming nodded; that was easy to understand.
The gap between each level of the Void God Realm is even greater than that between Heavenly Emperors. Even if he breaks through to the second-star Heavenly Emperor, the improvement will not be as great as that of the Void God Realm. Therefore, he might not be a match for someone at the second level of the Void God Realm.
Of course, this is assuming he doesn't trigger the double combat power effect of the "Battle" technique.
"Lu Ming, you should go back and cultivate diligently. I will stay here and notify you immediately if there is any movement!"
The Way of the Ancestral Dragon.
"good!"
Lu Ming nodded, then turned and left, returning to Dragon Emperor Peak.
At this moment, a large number of people have gathered at Dragon Emperor Peak.
Xie Nianqing and the others, Long Chen and Huang Ling were all there.
However, many people looked very solemn. Zu Long's words were like a stone weighing on their hearts.
Lu Ming chatted with everyone for a while, and then everyone dispersed to cultivate.
No matter what kind of enemy you face, improving yourself is the most important thing.
Lu Ming entered a secret room, sat cross-legged, and then with a flick of his hand, the Great Wilderness Spear appeared in his hand.
As you can see, the Great Wilderness Spear is riddled with holes, its spiritual power greatly diminished, and it is already half destroyed.
"This artifact is truly amazing!"
Lu Ming whispered.
Previously, he directly clashed with the alien patriarch using the Great Wilderness Spear, and the Great Wilderness Spear was destroyed.
After glancing at it for a few moments, Lu Ming put away the Great Wilderness Spear and then a battle sword appeared in his hand.
