Chapter 400 First Steps into the Royal Family
Chapter 400 First Steps into the Royal Family
The Purple Wood Clan, the Sutra Repository.
Led by Xin Zhiping, Li Lan and the others quickly arrived at the third floor.
As for Zi Muqi, Zi Mujie, Lan Xin, and the others, they could only wait for orders outside the Sutra Repository and had no right to come.
"You can wait for me here."
Li Lan remained calm and then walked alone to the fourth floor.
Dongya Xiaoxiao was also curious. What kind of demon was worth Li Lan making a special trip for? However, since Li Lan had already said so, she couldn't follow him and just waited obediently behind him.
This surprised Xin Zhiping slightly.
She already knew Dongya Xiaoxiao's identity. The dignified princess of the Eternal Royal Family was now acting like Li Lan's follower, only able to wait here.
At first, she thought that Li Lan had won the favor of the royal princess and was highly regarded.
but now……
Something seems off.
Why does Dongya Xiaoxiao seem even more humble in front of Li Lan?
Xin Zhiping's expression was complicated. From the first time she met Li Lan, she had vaguely felt that Li Lan was extraordinary, but to achieve so much in such a short time...
That's still amazing!
……
Enter the fourth floor.
The same skull remains, silently stored here, countless years have passed.
Li Lan approached calmly and said, "Want to chat?"
"The primordial beings of the Seventh Clan are not qualified to talk to me."
A cold voice emanated from the skull, still as arrogant as ever.
"The Primordial Holy Son, Starfall Plain."
Li Lan smiled slightly and suddenly said, "I heard that you were once a three-time champion in the trials of this world, and you are famous even in the original world. Do you dare to fight me?"
He learned about the origin of this demon from Houtu Thirteen, which is why he made a special trip back.
As the original holy son, Xingluoyuan holds an extraordinary position and will likely play a significant role in subsequent events such as the Demon Assembly.
As soon as he said this, two black mists seemed to condense in the empty pupils of the skull, pulsating continuously and emanating a chilling aura.
"You know me?"
Xingluoyuan spoke coldly: "It seems I underestimated you."
“Your Seventh Clan’s original holy son couldn’t last ten moves against me back then. You are no match for him.”
You can't do it!
His words carried a sense of superiority and arrogance.
Li Lan laughed: "How about we make a bet?"
"If I defeat you within ten moves, I will let you leave this place and give you your freedom."
Upon hearing this, a chilling, demonic malice swept over Li Lan like a tidal wave, completely engulfing him.
"Do you want to die?"
Xingluoyuan's words already carried a hint of anger.
Who is he? He was once the Primordial Holy Son sent by the Third Race to the Eternal True Realm for training. He once shone brightly throughout the world and was known as the Three-Crown King.
If it weren't for the birth of the Heavenly Emperor, which caused the sun to shine brightly and all the stars to wither, he wouldn't be trapped here. After returning to the primordial world, he would have undoubtedly displayed unimaginable talent and strength, and might already be a giant in the primordial world.
But now, how dare an unknown member of the Seventh Clan speak so arrogantly?
How can I defeat him within ten moves?
"Do you dare...?"
Li Lanyouran.
"No need for ten moves, I'll destroy you in three!"
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, an ethereal figure shot towards Li Lan's pupils.
It was a young man with white hair, possessing a powerful aura, cold and eerie, with traces of the Great Dao flickering around him, as if he were the birth of a world, the evolution of an era.
Clearly, he had consumed primordial substances, and thus had developed primordial power.
The Primordial Power is the source and origin of all power. It can crush all cultivation and magical power in this world. It can be said that even if the most powerful genius in the Eternal True Realm came, he would be absolutely unable to contend with Xingluoyuan.
At this moment, Xingluo was fighting with demonic malice and soul, because his original body had long been destroyed, leaving only his head.
Li Lan did not stop him, allowing him to enter his own sea of consciousness.
Xingluoyuan was already surprised as soon as he entered.
"You are not a primordial being?"
He saw Li Lan's soul trapped by the primordial chains within his sea of consciousness!
"How dare a mere human impersonate a primordial race..."
He couldn't help but shake his head.
"So what about the human race? Don't you see how the Heavenly Emperor of old swept away all demons with a single sword strike? Even the original races were wiped out over countless years and have been lost to this day..."
Li Lan simply smiled indifferently.
"Do you even deserve to be compared to the Heavenly Emperor?"
Xingluoyuan shook his head and said, "Since even ants dare to challenge dragons, then I will annihilate you completely in the primordial chaos!"
He raised his hand and slashed, like a god descending from the heavens, with stars and the moon falling together, surging with immense power, almost crushing Li Lan.
Even though Li Lan was bound by the primordial chains, he only needed to raise his hand to form a sword of malice. The terrifying sword intent caused his entire sea of consciousness to tremble. Wherever the sword pointed, the thousands of stars and moons he had unleashed actually fell to the ground.
The surging sword intent was like a cosmic hurricane sweeping across the galaxy, and in the blink of an eye, it had already crushed everything in its path!
Xingluoyuan's expression changed drastically. He tried his best to stop them, and his own demonic malice was boiling, but at this moment, he actually felt... powerless.
Li Lan's demonic malice was like a vast ocean.
"how is this possible?"
He was shocked.
The last time he saw Li Lan, Li Lan's demonic malice was nothing to him.
But now he's stronger than him?
How could Li Lan have improved so quickly?
His demonic malice was constantly eroded by Li Lan's sword intent. Suddenly, the sword of malice trembled, and he was forced back a hundred steps, almost being forced out of Li Lan's sea of consciousness.
"You lost."
Li Lan's voice rang out calmly.
But Xingluoyuan's face was extremely ugly.
"This is an act of demonic aggression. I have been trapped here for many years and have little left. Is this considered a victory for you?"
He was very dissatisfied.
If he were in his prime, this bit of demonic malice would have been nothing to him.
"Oh? What do you want to compete in?"
Li Lan smiled.
"The Great Way!"
Xingluoyuan said decisively, "Only the cultivation of the Great Dao is the true path. In my life, I have attained seven parts of the Sword Dao and four parts of the Battle Dao. If you can defeat me in any one of my styles, then I will consider you the winner!"
He was extremely arrogant.
Li Lan pondered for a moment. He had heard Houtu Thirteen mention that in the primordial world, the primordial holy sons, thanks to the primordial matter, could simultaneously evolve and cultivate many great Daos.
In the Eternal True Realm, every cultivator, even after a lifetime of effort, may only glimpse the threshold of one or two supreme paths.
But the primordial world is different. Primordial matter is inherently interdependent, arising and transforming between existence and non-existence, endless and inexhaustible. It is the true creation of creation. Therefore, cultivators in the primordial world will find it easier to understand and comprehend the Great Dao, and will almost completely crush those in the Eternal True Realm.
There are more than one or two "undying and immortal beings" like Zhu Wusi!
As the primordial holy son, his understanding of the Great Dao was astonishing. He achieved seven points in the Dao of Sword and four points in the Dao of War, making him a three-time champion in the entire primordial world.
In the Eternal True Realm, Li Lan had never heard of such a thing, and it was probably something that could be considered unparalleled throughout the ages!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Luoyuan raised his hand, and in an instant, behind him, phantoms and Dao principles appeared, which were the manifestations of his eleven Great Daos!
Seven sword shadows danced in the air, some like spring breezes and gentle rain, some like the blazing heat of summer, some like the chilling winds of autumn, some like the biting cold of winter, some like the roaring of rivers, and some like the thunderclaps of thunder...
The four battle figures were astonishing: one stood firm against the mountains, invincible; another was as solid as a rock amidst raging torrents; and yet another stood tall amidst the clouds, riding the whirlwind...
"As expected of the Primordial Holy Son of the Third Race, truly astonishing! The title of Three-Crown King is well-deserved!"
Beside them, Houtu Thirteen spoke in surprise, her eyes filled with shock, and she couldn't help but glance at Li Lan.
Li Lan has always been amazing, but he has never encountered such a strong opponent before. Can he still defeat him now?
However, Li Lan merely glanced at it indifferently, smiled slightly, and said:
"Indeed, with such comprehension and understanding of the great principles, he can be considered a remarkable figure of his time."
"If I only break one of your techniques, you might be dissatisfied. Since that's the case, then I will break all of them—"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lan moved and suddenly raised his hand. In an instant, countless rays of light flashed from his hand.
That was the gentle rain on the street, soft as butter, and after it fell, the spring breeze suddenly stopped. That was the sound of frogs croaking, breaking the thunder of summer. That was my flower blooming after all the other flowers withered, and with the arrival of one flower, the entire desolate autumn's sword intent disappeared. That was the plum blossom blooming alone in the cold, and when it fell, all the ice and snow melted away!
The seven sword shadows of Xingluoyuan disintegrated and vanished in an instant.
Then, a thunderbolt struck, cleaving the clouds; a vast ocean crashed, shattering nine generations of mountains; yin and yang were separated, obliterating everything!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
"what?!"
Houtu Shisan, who was standing nearby, was completely shocked when he saw this scene.
What's the situation?
The eleven Great Daos of Xingluoyuan were all broken in an instant.
How can this be?
You must know that he is the world-renowned Three-Crown King, the original holy son of the Third Clan!
Even if the most powerful saint-level figure in the primordial world were to come, it would probably take several days or months of fighting and constant contemplation before he could finally break through these eleven figures.
But Li Lan only took a moment?
Is Li Lan even human?
Not only him, but even Xingluoyuan was stunned at this moment.
He was completely stunned, still somewhat dazed and disoriented. He looked tremblingly at his hands, then at his surroundings...
Complete disbelief in his eyes!
"My path..."
His path is the pride of his life, and it took countless primordial substances, along with his unparalleled talent, to achieve such success.
With these principles and battle tactics, he won the championship three times in a row and became famous throughout the primordial world!
In fact, in ancient times, he even fought against the Heavenly Emperor. Although he was defeated, it was not a disgrace, but rather an honor.
But now, in a world long after the Heavenly Emperor has passed away, he has been defeated once again, and defeated so cleanly and decisively...
"How could there possibly be a more amazing person in this world than the Heavenly Emperor?"
He murmured, looking at Li Lan in disbelief.
That battle with the Heavenly Emperor was the most profound memory of his life. He remembered it clearly; back then, the Heavenly Emperor defeated him, at least in three moves…
But what about Li Lan?
one move!
No, it can't even be called a move, only a style. This single style evolved into eleven Great Daos, and it completely crushed his Dao.
What kind of perversion is this?
