Martial Saint!

The Northern Guardian King sheathed his sword.

"Well done, Chenzhou."

"President, why are you here?"

"When Old Man Hanshan sent me a message, I happened to be in the Magic City Base. I had long suspected that the 'Blood Dragon Devouring Heaven Demon Skill' was inextricably linked to the Blood Ancient God. I felt that the situation with Tang Zheng losing control was not simple, so I came personally. I didn't expect you to have already dealt with this tyrant on your own.

Luckily, Tang Zheng lost control and exposed himself early. Otherwise, if he had progressed further, the power of this Divine Clone would not be limited to this. The 'Lord of Death' had once descended in the Northern Alliance, and his eerie Divine Domain turned a small country into a cemetery within a day, with everyone becoming ghouls. It ultimately required the mobilization of six Heavenly Kings to destroy him."

The Northern Guardian King felt fortunate.

Tang Zheng lost control in Su City. If it had happened in a weaker base city, without a Heavenly King with a Law Realm to guard, they wouldn't have been able to handle the Divine Projection and might have even faced destruction. Such is the terror of the Divine Domain.

"By the way, when did you comprehend the Law Realm?"

The Northern Guardian King was surprised. He knew Lu Chenzhou had entered Dao, but for a Great Grandmaster to manifest a Law Realm, the difficulty was so high that even the Dragon King might not have accomplished it.

The Law Realm requires a nascent Law Domain, exceptional Martial Arts prowess, immense spiritual power, and Martial Arts Will. All these conditions are complex and indispensable, relying heavily on accumulation.

"Just in the two months after entering Dao, I researched for a while and naturally manifested it..."

Lu Chenzhou spoke casually.

The Northern Guardian King couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He considered his own talent top-level, yet it took him a year to figure out how to go from entering Dao to manifesting a Law Realm.

He decided to drop the topic.

"Let's go back to Su City and discuss some matters."

"Okay." Lu Chenzhou called Bai Miaomiao and others to handle the aftermath. Although Tang Zheng's loss of control was timely managed, the casualties were still severe.

...

"You've already manifested the Law Realm? Does that mean you've entered Dao?" Old Man Hanshan was shocked alone.

He had been completely surpassed by Lu Chenzhou.

He hadn't even manifested a Law Realm.

He was the type of Heavenly King who matured late, flourishing after amassing strength, unlike prodigies like Wang Changming, who manifested a Law Realm shortly after becoming a Heavenly King.

No wonder Lu Chenzhou was so confident before setting off.

That boy kept a trump card.

The Northern Guardian King said, "Don't reveal this matter to others for now. However, the Evil Gods probably know already, and I don't know how they'll react... Chenzhou, be careful with your next moves, watch out for the Evil God acting out of desperation."

"I understand."

Old Man Hanshan said, "From the current intelligence, the middle and high ranks of Carefree Travel are mostly cleared out, leaving only some behind-the-scenes hands yet to surface."

Northern Guardian King: "They're just autumn locusts, not a threat. The urgent task is to find the Shadow Kill Clan's Transmission Array to prevent the collusion between external forces and Demon Ghosts."

Lu Chenzhou thought of Lufang again.

He counted him as a mentor.

Among the four villains he banished on the spot, all were slain, but unfortunately, Lufang couldn't return.

...

The Eye of Truth.

The Blood God Sect Hierarch's eyes burned with anger. "Damn Lu Chenzhou actually destroyed one of my clones!"

The Witch God Sect Hierarch remained calm and said, "The death of your clone was not in vain. At the very least, we learned the critical information that Lu Chenzhou has manifested the Principle Domain."

...

Primordial Mountain Cave Heaven.

"Principle Domain?" Lu Chenzhou sat before Mr. Turtle. He dared to face the Divine Projection because he had learned a bit about the Divine Domain from his senior brother.

Mr. Turtle nodded and smiled, "According to my research, your Xia Realm Martial Artist's 'Martial Arts Realm,' Po Suo Heart Cultivation's 'Spirit Kingdom,' and Western Fighter's 'Fighting Force Field' are actually the Great Wilderness Qi Refiner's 'Heavenly Immortal Domain,' which is also the 'Principle Domain' mentioned by the Evil Gods of Stars. Essentially, it's using your Dao to assimilate the surrounding world, forming a domain filled with your spirit, running with your intention."

"I see."

"All paths lead to the same destination. The Principle Domain, when evolved to its extreme, becomes the 'Divine Domain' of all gods. The Divine Domain is the embodiment of the Divine Authority, capable of assimilating everything within its scope into the rules it represents.

Within the Divine Domain, the gods are almost undying. Only a Divine Domain can oppose another Divine Domain. Of course, since you were facing merely a Divine Projection, and this universe has an invisible suppression against such foreign existences, combined with the high level of the world Dao you comprehended and its compatibility with this world... various factors combined allowed you to suppress the Divine Domain with your fledgling Martial Arts Realm. Don't take special cases as a norm, and be extremely cautious when encountering more Divine Clones or Incarnations in the future!"

Mr. Turtle, having heard of Lu Chenzhou's deeds, was startled and quickly poured cold water to prevent arrogance.

"So the Evil God of Stars, in our universe, is still under the universe's suppression? They managed to conquer the Great Wilderness under repression..."

Lu Chenzhou was taken aback.

Mr. Turtle sighed, "That's right, so initially, the Great Wilderness had the upper hand. But the Divine Court wasted a golden opportunity. Now, the Evil Gods have taken over the Great Wilderness and are trying to assimilate this universe's rules with the laws of Stars. If successful, this universe will exist only in name."

"Will those Demon Ghosts be suppressed too?"

"There is suppression, but it's very weak because they are born from the Evil God's pollution of our universe's rules, creatures spawned here, not from the Land of the Stars."

The journey is long and arduous.

Lu Chenzhou looked to the sky.

"By the way, since you've mastered the Nine Mountains Power and successfully entered Dao, considering your unique circumstances being targeted by the Evil Gods, as your senior brother, I'll break the rules and give you a Spiritual Weapon to protect your Dao. Who do you want to choose?"

Mr. Turtle smiled.

Lu Chenzhou had long had a favored weapon in mind.

...

"Hehehe, brothers, I'm leaving now."

On Yuanbao Mountain, the Fox Woman transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky, leaving only envy in the eyes of the other Artifact Spirits.

"So nice."

"He's a spear practitioner; why does he need a whip?"

"This fox must have used a charming technique."

"I heard Lu Chenzhou has already mastered the Nine Mountains Power in just over a decade. The times are really changing."

"Do you think he could become the strongest direct disciple under the Patriarch? Become a Great Power?"

"It's possible, but there's not much hope. Mainly because there's not much time left for humanity. If it were in the Great Wilderness, his achievements would definitely surpass the Patriarch, on par with the Four Emperors."

At the mountain peak.

The Cloth Monkey and the Golden Armored Ape silently gazed on.

"A promising talent indeed."

"If the Patriarch were still alive, how pleased he would be..."

...

Fu Mountain Lord's Dojo.

Inner Scenery Land.

Inside the Meat Divine Palace, four figures sat cross-legged on the floor.

Lu Chenzhou, the Fox Woman, Er Niang, and a man in a black robe. He is the Artifact Spirit of the Shocking Heart Needle, taciturn in nature.

"Young Master, thank you for choosing me."

The Fox Woman bowed graciously.

Lu Chenzhou cupped his hands:

"Thank you, Senior, for protecting the Dao."

The Fox Woman said, "It's a small matter, but I've heard from Er Niang that she hasn't even had to make a move so far. It seems your strength might not even need us... Anyway, if you encounter a life-and-death crisis, don't hesitate to call on me."

Qiang Erniang gave a slight smile:

"With me around, you won't have to step in."

The Fox Woman was not to be outdone: "You never know, although you excel at killing, I am better at control and survival."

Lu Chenzhou felt a sense of ease in his heart.

He already had two Half Spirit Weapons.

The Shocking Heart Needle, which specializes in mental and soul attacks, excels in the Dao of illusions and poison. It can also be used as a flying sword, compensating for the Martial Artist's lack of attack range.

Unfortunately, it was damaged.

Now it only possesses the power of a quasi-spirit weapon.

The Canglang Song, a weapon of slaughter, can unleash heavenly attacks if it expends the energy accumulated by the spirit weapon.

Coupled with control from a long whip, if the two spirit weapons are in perfect sync, he can even counter-kill a Heavenly Realm powerhouse.

Of course, once spirit weapons attack autonomously, they need a long time to recover, so they can only be used as life-saving trump cards.

Leaving the Inner Scenery Land.

The voice of the sword spirit came from the flying sword at Lu Chenzhou's waist.

"So lively here, but unfortunately, my power is damaged, and I can't take on a form. I used to be an Eighth Rank Spiritual Weapon in my prime."

"I heard Senior Ye Xiaoyao intends to elevate the Cauldron Sword to an Unparalleled Divine Weapon. Are you going back to your body?"

"No, I won't return. I've been away for so long that the Cauldron Sword has already developed new spirituality. I'll just give it to that Ye fellow."

...

On this day.

Primordial Mountain Cave Heaven.

Lu Chenzhou stood in mid-air, sweat dripping from his forehead as an invisible domain kept expanding until it reached its limit.

Mr. Turtle, along with the Northern Guardian King, was watching nearby. The Northern Guardian King also participated in the trial and became an Inner Sect Disciple, so he could enter and exit the Cave Heaven freely.

So far,

except for Bai Feng, who became a direct disciple without trial by relying on Absolute Peak cultivation, the most others could achieve, no matter how extraordinary, was Inner Sect Disciple. This shows how valuable the position of a direct disciple is under a Great Power.

The Northern Guardian King asked:

"Can you expand any further?"

"No, I can't."

"Seven kilometers, not bad. The Initial Realm Law Domain of a Heavenly King is just about ten kilometers in diameter. Although your range is insufficient, the quality of your domain is significantly higher than the ordinary. When you advance to Heavenly King, your Law Domain range will certainly surpass ten kilometers."

"Chairman, what is the range of your Law Domain?"

"Me?"

The Northern Guardian King chuckled lightly, and an invisible fluctuation spread, bringing down a circular Law Domain about eighty kilometers in diameter. Its appearance was like a massive celestial globe.

Its surface was crisscrossed with meridians and parallels, mountains, and rivers, the sun and the moon, the world of all living beings, all in perfect order.

In the Law Domain, a majestic figure clad in a mysterious robe, holding a sword and scales, stood impartial and just like the Heavenly Dao itself.

"My Dao is [Order], and my Law Domain is [Ruling the Heavens and Governing the Earth]. Normally, the peak limit for a Heavenly King's Law Domain is a diameter of fifty kilometers, but since I control the Heavenly Person List, it extends to eighty kilometers."

Lu Chenzhou's eyes were shocked.

The gap was too great; his was only five kilometers in diameter. The attack area of their Law Domains was vastly different. Of course, the power of a Law Domain cannot be defined simply by size. A smaller Law Domain does not mean it's weak; however, a significantly larger Law Domain is definitely strong.

Mr. Turtle looked at the two junior brothers comparing their strengths with a lot of interest, stroking his beard, reminiscing about the past.

Lu Chenzhou asked curiously.

"Senior Brother, how large is your domain?"

"Me?"
