Chapter 204: The Purple Myrtle Emperor Star!
"Damn it, it actually got damaged."
At the Chaotian Palace, Lu Qingyang looked at his Pseudo-Immortal Corpse Puppet with a face full of heartache.
The power unleashed by the self-destruction of a Supreme-level Demon Venerable was absolutely terrifying!
Although this Pseudo-Immortal Corpse Puppet had been tempered and was incomparably hard.
It still couldn't withstand that terrifying self-destruction at point-blank range.
"It can still move, at least, but its combat strength has dropped severely.
"It's probably only barely at the Supreme level now."
"Jiangxin!"
After assessing the damage to the Pseudo-Immortal Corpse Puppet, Lu Qingyang summoned Jiangxin.
"Beep beep, I'm here, Master!"
"Allocate some top-quality demon cores and corpse puppet materials."
"Hurry and repair the Pseudo-Immortal Corpse Puppet."
"Beep beep, received, Master! Beginning repairs now."
"Estimated completion within two years."
As Jiangxin's respectful voice fell, Lu Qingyang turned his gaze back.
In his palm lay a bead as black as jade.
This bead was none other than Xuan An's demon core!
"What a pity I didn't get the chance to interrogate that mangy bird."
"Still… it seems the Xuanji Clan has learned about matters within their clan."
"I think I even heard the Northern Sea Xuanji Clan Chief was on his way to find me?"
Lu Qingyang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"In that case, I should do something as well."
He raised his eyes toward the heavens.
The dark clouds in the sky roiled and churned.
It seemed to herald the arrival of a great battle.
"It's been over two hundred years. This debt, I'm finally going to collect it."
Lu Qingyang looked at the surrounding terrain and ordered all disciples of the sect to halt.
Everyone was to retreat a hundred li along with the mothership and the Chaotian Palace.
Only Ma Liang was kept behind by Lu Qingyang.
Also to have one more safeguard.
"Sect Master!"
Ma Liang stood respectfully behind Lu Qingyang.
"Elder Ma, in at most a year, the Chief of the Northern Sea Xuanji Clan, one of the five overlords of the Demon Domain, will arrive here in person."
Lu Qingyang's single sentence shook Ma Liang so badly his face turned deathly pale.
"Why aren't we leaving quickly?"
"After all, the Chief of the Northern Sea Xuanji Clan is no ordinary Supreme!"
"If we really talk about it, he can be considered unmatched below Pseudo-Immortal!"
Ma Liang's voice was anxious.
An ordinary Great Vehicle like him was simply insignificant before a Supreme of that level.
Lu Qingyang shook his head. "Elder Ma, we're not leaving."
"We wait here. We wait for it to come."
As Lu Qingyang spoke, his figure slowly rose.
Under Ma Liang's horrified gaze, Lu Qingyang drew out a mysterious grand formation that radiated black qi and death qi from every inch of its being!
"Boom!"
This grand formation was none other than the Nine Heavens Trapping-Extermination Formation!
The moment the grand formation appeared, it rumbled as it imprinted itself upon the earth.
Boundless, heavy pressure swept out from the formation.
That vast and mighty pressure caused Ma Liang's face to change drastically.
"Th-this, what is this thing?"
"Could it be…"
Ma Liang's heart trembled.
He faintly sensed that this formation seemed very different from all the top-tier formations in this world.
Moreover, that vast and endless immortal pressure immediately gave rise to a bold idea in Ma Liang's mind.
"Could it be an Immortal Formation!"
Having experienced the Pseudo-Immortal Puppet and that Immortal Spear.
Ma Liang now, whenever Lu Qingyang pulled out anything.
Would involuntarily guess toward the word "immortal."
"Mm."
Lu Qingyang gave a light grunt, flipped his hand seal, and concealed the grand formation.
"Let's go. Elder Ma, find a place to have a few drinks."
"Once that mangy bird arrives, we'll surely be busy for a while."
As Lu Qingyang spoke, he casually released a Dharma Ship.
"Yes!"
Ma Liang bowed and responded, then followed after him.
…
At the same time.
Over a dozen Northern Sea Xuanji with ferocious auras were speeding through the high skies at extreme speed.
Xuan Li looked at his clansmen.
His mind calculated.
A Pseudo-Immortal Corpse Puppet — even if we can win, heavy casualties are unavoidable.
Xuan Ming and Xuan An have gone silent. Most likely they've met with disaster.
No! This person is absolutely the mastermind behind the murders of so many Demon Race members!
I can't let the Northern Sea Xuanji Clan bear this thunder alone!
As Xuan Li thought this, he immediately sent a message to the Southern Li Giant Fire Lion Clan, which was also investigating this matter in the Demon Domain.
The only overlord clans that could return to the Demon Domain were these two.
All the other races had been forcibly suppressed by Ao Ye.
So the only helpers he could think of at this moment were the Giant Lion Clan.
Xuan Li was also confident the Giant Lion Clan would never stand by idly.
And sure enough, after receiving Xuan Li's message.
Juhuo, Clan Chief of the Giant Lion Clan, flew into a rage instantly.
Leading over a dozen Great Vehicle cultivators from his clan, he surged mightily toward the location Xuan Li had transmitted.
And just as Lu Qingyang waited quietly for the Northern Sea Xuanji Clan to arrive.
A crisp System notification sounded in his ears at the perfect moment.
【Ding! Simulation cooldown complete】
【Begin Simulation? Yes/No】
Listening to the System notification in his ears.
Lu Qingyang found an excuse, took leave of Ma Liang, and returned to the cabin.
The moment he sat down, he spoke softly.
"Yes!"
As his words fell, System notifications rang out once more.

"They all seem pretty average."
Lu Qingyang looked at the Simulation talents randomly drawn by the System.
He didn't rush to choose.
Mainly because none of these looked particularly useful.
They were all minor advantages.
"Random!"
Without hesitation, Lu Qingyang directly used one of his saved random draws.

"How come the more I draw, the worse they get."
"Feels worse than the last batch."
Looking at this newest batch of randomized Simulation talents.
Lu Qingyang felt somewhat helpless, and could only speak again.

"Hm?"
Lu Qingyang glanced at the talent panel.
His eyebrow suddenly twitched.
"This Purple Myrtle Emperor Star is actually somewhat interesting."
"Then… I'll go with you!"
After reading the Purple Myrtle Emperor Star talent, Lu Qingyang's mind stirred.
