Chapter 267: Dust Settles, Cultivation Colony, Return, Progress 29!
The blood-drenched apparition, at this moment, opened its eyes, those eyes clearly containing a trace of human emotion.
Numerous Martial God sect experts gazed at the blood-drenched apparition that had opened its eyes, their expressions instantly turning excited.
"Martial God!!"
"The Martial God has descended!!"
"The Sect Leader truly summoned the Martial God!"
"What innate divine spirit, only the Martial God is the sole true god! The so-called innate divine spirit means nothing in front of the Martial God!!"
One by one, the experts of the Martial God sect exclaimed in excitement, their eyes filled with fervor.
It must be known that under the Nourishing God Technique, the divine spirits they communicated with were all the essence of Lu Sheng.
Now that the essence had descended into the apparition, naturally they regarded it as the arrival of the Martial God.
"The barriers of this world... should be broken!"
Lu Sheng calmly gazed at the firmament, yet he saw that blood-drenched shadow slowly raise its palm and extend its index finger toward the firmament.
Buzzing sounds filled the space between heaven and earth once again.
Accompanied by endless gusts of wind sweeping through, thunder roared violently.
The consciousness of the Three-eyed World, at this moment, let out a series of wails.
Although the awareness of the Three-eyed World's consciousness was not very high, it could clearly feel the descent of Lu Sheng's essence into the apparition.
This battle... it had ultimately lost!
With the wails of the world consciousness echoing, the experts of the three sects and the allied experts also inexplicably felt waves of sadness; their camp had already fallen into silence.
At this moment, a polar reversal between both sides had already formed!
Boom!!
A crimson energy burst forth from the finger of the apparition, falling upon the firmament, instantly spreading across it.
Under this terrifying force, egg-shell cracking sounds emanated from the firmament.
Crack!
The crisp sounds reverberated through heaven and earth, echoing with the wails of the world consciousness.
After completing all this, Lu Sheng's expression remained calm.
Neither the mourning from the Three-eyed World's consciousness nor the sorrow showed by the three-eyed creatures affected Lu Sheng.
"The Three-eyed World, to me... is ultimately an alien race!"
"In this universe, those not of my kind always have differing intentions."
"But I cannot do as the Blood Bone Race, extinguishing an entire race of creatures..."
Lu Sheng spoke softly.
"Then, with the Celestial Demon Technique, let this world become my training ground!"
Lu Sheng's figure appeared above the firmament, the descent of his essence pushed Lu Sheng's perception to its limit; in an instant, he precisely found the concealed consciousness of the Three-eyed World within the void.
With a step forward, Lu Sheng raised his hand and broke through that section of the void, immediately revealing a chaotic energy hidden within.
A series of mournful screams sounded from that chaotic energy, sharp and piercing, seeming to prevent Lu Sheng's approach.
Moreover, masses of energy continuously exploded around Lu Sheng.
Yet these forces... ultimately could not sway Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng's finger lightly landed upon the world consciousness, instantly revealing a blood droplet imprint within that chaotic energy.
With the emergence of the imprint, the consciousness of the Three-eyed World gradually returned to calm, despite the resistance emotions towards Lu Sheng still dispersing, no action of resistance was made.
Simply because... under this imprint, the consciousness of the Three-eyed World could no longer shake Lu Sheng in the slightest.
"Rest assured, the Celestial Demon Technique might appear as an evil demon technique to world consciousness, but my aim is neither to annihilate you nor to refine you."
"The relationship between us is merely mutual utilization!"
"I utilize you to practice my Celestial Demon Technique, while you... can also use my power to protect the entire Three-eyed World!"
Lu Sheng spoke softly.
The consciousness of the Three-eyed World didn't know if it understood, but could clearly feel the resistance emotions within its consciousness steadily weakening.
Upon seeing this, Lu Sheng smiled gently, his figure dissipating in the expanse of the void.
Reappearing, Lu Sheng had already returned to the previous battlefield.
Looking at the severely injured Martial God sect experts, facing their fervent gazes, Lu Sheng took a deep breath.
"From this day forth... I am a divine spirit!"
"Named..."
"Martial God of Law!"
The soft voice, reverberated through heaven and earth.
With a wave, the Martial God Blood Stones previously taken by Lu Sheng now emerged, accurately falling into the bodies of each Martial God sect expert.
Allowing their injuries and weakened aura to, upon receiving the Martial God Blood Stones, instantly recover, even becoming more robust compared to before.
"Martial God of Law!!"
One by one, the experts of the Martial God sect gazed fervently at Lu Sheng, shouting aloud.
Lu Sheng smiled faintly, and his gaze once again fell on the disciples of the three sects and the powerful members of the Three-Sect Alliance. Perhaps it was because they sensed Lu Sheng's gaze, these Three-eyed Creatures exhibited expressions of fear.
The emotion of fear spread out.
"From today onwards, the Martial God Sect shall be the number one sect in the world!"
"Anyone willing to join the Martial God Sect can enter; the Martial God Sect teaches without discrimination. Those of outstanding talent will be rewarded with the Martial God Blood Stone to aid their cultivation, and those with significant merit will also receive the Martial God Blood Stone..."
Lu Sheng's voice echoed across the battlefield, calming the disciples and strong individuals of the three sects who had previously been swayed by their fear.
They looked up at Lu Sheng, who exuded an extremely terrifying aura in the sky, and suddenly thought... perhaps joining the Martial God Sect and establishing a connection with the Martial God wasn't such a bad idea.
This thought occurred due to Lu Sheng imprinting the awareness of the Three-eyed World.
The current world consciousness of the Three-eyed World no longer opposed Lu Sheng and even started to assist him.
As a result, these Three-eyed Creatures were naturally less resistant to the Martial God and the Martial God Sect.
After accomplishing all this, Lu Sheng returned to the territory of the Martial God Sect with the remaining disciples.
Standing in the square of the Martial God Sect, Lu Sheng's gaze fell upon the powerful members of the sect.
Meeting Lu Sheng's gaze, every disciple of the Martial God Sect cast fervent looks at him.
Just the fact that Lu Sheng had defeated the legendary three Innate Divine Spirits was enough to make the disciples of the Martial God Sect go wild.
Especially now that the Martial God Sect had become the number one sect in the Three-eyed World.
This filled not only the disciples but even the elders with heartfelt pride.
After all, they were part of the Martial God Sect!
"Let the Sect Leader speak!"
The three elders shouted loudly.
In this moment, the elders and disciples of the Martial God Sect also started to speak out one after another.
"Let the Sect Leader speak!"
Listening to this group's words, Lu Sheng smiled faintly, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile at this moment.
"Now, the Martial God Sect is already the number one sect in the world, but since we are the number one, the Martial God Sect must fulfill its responsibilities as such!"
"Maintaining the balance of the world and preserving the world's order is an inescapable responsibility of our Martial God Sect!"
Lu Sheng spoke solemnly.
After all, the consciousness of the Three-eyed World had already been imprinted by Lu Sheng, and the current Three-eyed World was his colony. If the balance were to be disrupted, it would not be good for Lu Sheng.
Hence, this task fell on the shoulders of the Martial God Sect's disciples and elders.
"We shall... faithfully follow the Sect Leader's command!"
The powerful members of the Martial God Sect responded one after another.
Then, Lu Sheng took out some Martial God Blood Stones and handed them to the three elders.
"From now on, the Martial God Sect can develop steadily and no longer needs to suppress other sects. Remember... balance!"
Lu Sheng instructed.
Lu Sheng's previous intention of hoarding resources worldwide was merely to counter the world's consciousness. Now that the world's consciousness belonged to Lu Sheng, it was no longer necessary.
Therefore, steady development would suffice!
The three elders responded one after another, and seeing this, Lu Sheng nodded in satisfaction and his figure disappeared from the Martial God Sect square.
When he reappeared, he stood atop the Martial God Sect's peak, overlooking the entire sect and the Three-eyed World. Lu Sheng spoke softly.
"Perhaps... it's time to return!"
As Lu Sheng spoke, the third eye instantly detached from his body, and without the protection of Lu Sheng's avatar, Wu Tianyou's body broke into pieces and vanished between heaven and earth.
...
Martial Immortal Villa, Celestial Brilliance Star.
A blood-colored crystal stone emerged from the void and merged into Lu Sheng's body.
With the merging of this blood-colored crystal stone, Lu Sheng's aura began to rise at an extremely terrifying speed.
Who knows how long it took, but Lu Sheng, who had been meditating in the Celestial Brilliance Star, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.
The surging aura erupted forth, causing waves of turbulence within the Celestial Brilliance Star.
With a thought, the system panel appeared in Lu Sheng's field of vision.
[Name: Lu Sheng]
[Occupation: Martial Artist]
[Realm: Divine Soul Realm (29/100)]
[Eternal Ash Emperor's Authority: (66/100) LV4]
[Dao Insights: (78/100) LV2]
"Cultivation Progress... has reached 29!"
Looking at the system panel before him, a glint flickered in Lu Sheng's eyes.
"Only one step away from the mid-stage of the seventh realm..."
"What a pity, in the Three-eyed World, the avatar couldn't achieve the seventh realm; otherwise, I would have broken through to the mid-stage of the seventh realm, perhaps even further!"
Lu Sheng spoke, shaking his head with some regret.
