Martial Saint!

On top of the tower.

Lu Chenzhou ended his state.

This time, his Unity of Heaven and Man was fleeting.

His eyes were clear and bright; compared to last time, he only had a short moment, enough to observe the closest [Vibration Dao]—that was a gigantic flower shaped like a gramophone, blooming amidst boundless chaos.

In an instant, Lu Chenzhou was surrounded by a mysterious Dao Essence; the Martial Arts Tree soared thirty thousand zhang, and a brand-new Dao path opened before him.

[Vibration: Fourth Rank (1%)]

[Dao-finder: Lu Chenzhou]

"The three thousand Daos are like clouds; what the Great Wilderness Qi Refiners have discovered is but the tip of the iceberg. By myself, I have unearthed Rotation, Vibration, and Withering and Flourishing, these three Daos."

Lu Chenzhou was in a good mood.

Vibration Dao—its power may not reach Top Class, but in functionality and attack range, it is simply outstanding.

If you find the enemy's lethal frequency, you can kill them. If you match the ally's power-burst frequency, you can boost morale and strengthen the army, amplifying the allies' strength.

This is also known as the "BGM" great technique.

The ancient Hero Xiao, the modern Master Huang—they could use music to enhance their power; this is the same principle.

On the Martial Arts Tree, a new Martial Arts emerged.

[Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar Technique: Perfection]

[Divine Seed·Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar (Ninth Rank)]

...

Effect 3: Dragon Roar

Uses True Gang to create vibration waves, forming a sonic shield; Defense Power depends on the level of the Vibration Dao.

Effect 4: Tiger Roar

Uses True Gang to create vibration waves, generating an area sonic attack; Attack Power depends on the level of the Vibration Dao. By adjusting sonic frequency, it can induce illusions, hypnosis, control, killing, or other effects on different races of creatures.]

"Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar Technique."

The Dao is extremely simple, with only two effects.

One is vibration defense.

One is vibration attack.

It can attack Demon Monsters, humans, or any other creature—entirely depending on Lu Chenzhou's Dao level, and whether he has mastered the corresponding creature's frequency.

Of course, its lethality surely can't compare to direct Spear Skills or Fist Techniques—after all, transmission through a medium itself consumes energy—but what it excels at is its range: immensely vast.

Theoretically, if his strength was great enough, the vibration waves he creates could propagate through the whole World, killing billions of Demon Monsters.

This is a clearing skill.

With his current strength, the effective lethality of the vibration waves covers about five hundred li in radius. Any farther, and he could only kill some Demon Ghosts weaker than small demons.

Moreover, vibration attacks can disrupt the natural vibration frequency inside organisms; paired with conventional Combat Techniques, it can enhance damage. Roaring once before a fight, hitting the enemy with a debuff, means an easy victory.

This is also the principle behind its bonus damage to Demon Monsters.

From the moment the Shankang Demon Emperor launched his assault, to when it was sent flying, all this happened in a flash.

The city's residents were stunned for a moment.

Then, great joy.

"The mysterious person has awakened."

"The Demon Emperor was sent flying; we're saved!"

"Not necessarily, the Shankang Demon Emperor isn't dead."

Someone looked heavily at the sky.

High above, furious laughter echoed down; a terrifying aura pressed closer. The hundred-zhang body of the Shankang Demon Emperor, huge as a mountain, landed steadily in midair.

Its hands had already recovered their original form.

"Shankang, what happened?"

The Golden Armor Demon Emperor looked puzzled. In sheer force, Shankang ranked top five in Corpse Palace. In head-on clashes, even in the Late Stage Six Realms, not even the Great Elder of Three Suns Palace could send Shankang flying.

Shankang grinned and said:

"I underestimated him. He's mastered some bizarre power technique; caught off guard, I suffered. But now I'm alert, and next, he's dead for sure!"

Now that it had reached Middle Realm, it feared nothing.

"Let's go together. You've lost your weapon anyway."

"No need. You cover me. My hammer was casually forged, for crushing weaklings. Against the strong, I usually use my fists. In ten breaths, I'll kill him!"

Shankang was quite proud; abandoning the Meteor Hammer, it smashed down with a huge fist like a mountain.

Boom!

The punch hadn't yet fallen.

The blast of wind already threatened to blow the city away.

Lu Chenzhou casually thrust out his spear, enveloping the area with the [Eastern Chanting] Domain, then leapt out, long spear wielded with vibration techniques, fighting Shankang outside the city.

The Golden Armor Demon Emperor warned in panic:

"Careful, this guy has comprehended a Domain."

Shankang's fist was trembling and numb.

"What the hell?"

Every punch smashed down as if striking a constantly vibrating ruler—nowhere to exert force.

This is the wonder of vibration.

Sound waves are just one expression.

Lu Chenzhou couldn't help recalling the vibration skills at the Hua Realm. In reality, this was an invisible harmony with the Dao.

Leveraging vibration, he used four ounces to move a thousand pounds, constantly diverting and bouncing Shankang's fists aside. The opponent's tremendous strength was unloaded by the vibration Law surrounding the spear shaft, so that, upon reaching him, it was negligible.

"Damn, this Dao is too weird."

After ten breaths, Shankang regretted it.

"Why are you standing there?! Help!"

"You told me not to intervene."

The Golden Armor Demon Emperor cursed, conjured a giant shield to block the oncoming spear formation—they ended in a draw.

It secretly felt uneasy.

"My Yuji Dao-conjured shield can at least resist a Middle Realm Demon Emperor for a while, but it was shattered in one blow. This weird power technique destabilized my demonic power structure, making my shield more brittle. It's not that guy's strength is great, but that his technique is too strange."

Lu Chenzhou was slightly surprised as well.

"Eh, these two Demon Emperors aren't bad—one's Power Extreme Dao Fourth Rank, one's Yuji Dao close to Fourth Rank. Either could make the top four hundred on the Heavenly Person List. With their teamwork, attack and defense combined, even the top three hundred on the list might not be a match."

If he hadn't advanced to Heavenly King—

He absolutely wouldn't be their match.

But now, having comprehended the Vibration Dao, he didn't even need to use the Kun Character Technique to be confident in killing them both.

His long spear trembled like chaff; screeching, piercing sonic waves, vibrational waves invaded the two Demons' hearts with every strike, finally transforming into explosive tiger roars.

"This is unbearable; what's that noise?"

The Shankang Demon Emperor cursed inwardly.

"Seal off your hearing. His sonic attacks are strong—if this keeps up, we'll be tormented to death."

The Golden Armor Demon Emperor reminded.

The two Demons sealed off their senses of hearing.

The situation improved somewhat...

But only a bit.

Lu Chenzhou sneered inwardly.

"Vibration Dao—as long as there's contact, there's medium transmission; blocking off hearing is pointless."

He gradually increased his strength—behind him, the nine mountain phantoms solidified, a boundless sea appeared, long spear laced with Power Extreme Law, a heavy strike, shattering the shield, struck the golden armor's chest.

Crack—

The scales, able to withstand a Middle Realm Demon Emperor, were blown off; a ten-thousand-jun force poured forth. The Golden Armor Demon Emperor crashed to the ground, spitting blood, lying in the pit in disbelief.

"That... that's Power Extreme, and at Entering Dao level—Shankang, retreat! We aren't his match!"

Shankang had already sensed something was wrong.

As a Demon Emperor, his realm was higher, so his strength was still slightly greater than Lu Chenzhou's. But Lu Chenzhou's vibration skill made up for that gap.

He could amplify his own power.

And reduce the enemy's strength.

So with gains and reductions, Shankang's ten parts of power only became eight, while his opponent could unleash twelve.

Too oppressive.

"Golden Armor, don't run—hold him for a moment. I just comprehended my Domain; once I suppress him with it, let's both unleash our ultimate skills!"

Hearing this—

The Golden Armor Demon Emperor's eyes lit up.

Truly, after darkness, a village of light.

"Domain? Good, good, good!"

As expected of a Seven-Pattern Demon Clan—much smarter than his own Six-Pattern Clan. Just after Entering Dao, and already a Domain!

Envious. Once Shankang slays this man and returns to the Corpse Palace, he'll surely rank among the top ten Demon Emperors.

With a roar, the Golden Armor Demon Emperor revealed his true giant armadillo form; each scale was a mighty ancient giant shield, tens of thousands stacked together.

"Come on then!"

He plunged before Lu Chenzhou.

Lu Chenzhou's spear smashed down; break one giant shield, and another appeared in its place—endless supply.

"No one can break my defense."

The Golden Armor Demon Emperor's claws and tail morphed into sharp blades and slashed at Lu Chenzhou, only to be fended off by the circle of invisible vibration waves around him. Even after smashing them, they struck the invisible barrier, sending ripples outward.

Lu Chenzhou was in no hurry. He looked at the exasperated Golden Armor Demon Emperor and grinned: "Neither can I."

Though he didn't have Yuji Dao,

He stacked plenty of armor.

His eyes fixed on the armadillo, watching the Yuji Law wrapped around the surface of the giant shields; countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

The Martial Arts Tree rustled.

It operated at high speed.

Like a merciless photocopier.

Lu Chenzhou had long wanted to learn Yuji Dao, but lacked an opportunity for insight. Now with a Demon skilled in it before him, he wouldn't kill it too quickly.

With all attribute points dumped into Defense Power, the Golden Armor Demon Emperor's attack was mediocre. Lu Chenzhou could stand there motionless; if his opponent could break his defense, he'd concede defeat.

The Shankang Demon Emperor roared.

"Golden Armor, move aside!"

Its body swelled to a thousand meters tall, endless Power Extreme Law swirling about, stirring the clouds into thunder and lightning.

The Golden Armor coordinated seamlessly.

As it dodged—

The Shankang Demon Emperor threw out a humming black magic ball, which exploded above Lu Chenzhou's head.

Domain·Heavenly Fall and Earth Sinking!

Lu Chenzhou's expression was calm.

In his ears, the world seemed to wail.

"Not a bad Domain. I, Lu Chenzhou, am willing to call you a true Demon talent!" He was like Ming King—immovable as a mountain.

Around him, gravity soared.

This realm's gravity was already twice that of the Xia Realm.

Under the black magic ball, a circular area twenty kilometers in diameter grew ever heavier toward the center.

Lu Chenzhou was at the center!

Tens of thousands of times normal gravity!

Shankang panted heavily.

"First time using Domain, still not familiar. But wounding this guy shouldn't be a problem. Golden Armor, now!"

The two Demons dared not slacken.

Shankang's Divine Blood burned; his figure plummeted like a meteor, tail flame tracing the sky.

Golden Armor lifted a paw; ten thousand giant shields overlapped, fusing into a blunt shield blade, slashing down!

"Die!"

The two Demons were certain of victory.

This foreigner was simply reckless. In this realm, hardly anyone dared take a combined attack from the two brothers head-on.

Boom! Under the Domain's tens of thousands of times gravity, the pig demon's body slam and shield blade strike generated power far beyond a Middle Stage Demon Emperor, approaching Late Stage Emperor level.

A mushroom cloud soared a hundred li skywards, breaching the Gang Wind Layer; friction of ashes produced thunderstorms like volcanic lightning, visible for ten thousand li around.

The earthquake-like shockwave leveled mountains, destroyed forests, and even shattered the distant Eastern Chanting domain.

The city collapsed.

Thanks to the gravity, even ordinary people here were much stronger than those in the Xia Realm, so they weren't wiped out. After all, ninety-nine percent of the damage was absorbed by Lu Chenzhou's Domain.

The black magic ball dissipated.

An enormous impact crater ten kilometers wide, and a thousand zhang deep formed. Smoke cleared; Shankang and Golden Armor were both cracked all over, bathing in blood, gasping for breath.

"Overestimating yourself."

"Arrogant wretch."

"Let's go."

"No one can take our attack head-on and live."

The two Demons were about to leave, when suddenly, a deep-blue spear tip pressed against the back of the Golden Armor Demon Emperor. A figure stepped from the shadows, laughing: "But what if I stand behind you?"

Lu Chenzhou thrust his spear.

A torrent of blood surged like a rainbow, piercing through the giant armadillo and the boar demon in a line, shooting up toward the heavens, parting clouds, breaking through the Gang Wind Barrier, and striking an invisible wall with a world-shaking explosion.

Finally, the barrier was unharmed.

Within the barrier, a Blood Moon took shape.

This strike, like light—

Pierced the boundaries of heaven and earth.

Outside the barrier was the Void!

At this moment, every master in the Kun Gu Realm felt the tremor, all turning to look toward the west.

Within the Void, a surprised voice sounded.

"Huh, it actually reached here."

...

The earth continued to tremble.

Dark smoke billowed in the sky.

The long spear smoked gently.

Lu Chenzhou retrieved his spear and stood still.

In his mind, words appeared on the Martial Arts Tree.
