Chapter 403: Breakthrough to the Third Tier of the Divine Treasure Realm, the Great Aether Realm!
The Heavenly Palace, who had swept through everyone along the way, had suffered a great loss in front of the last headquarters of the Blood-clothed Tower. Four of the 12 martial governors had been seriously injured alongside the other experts.The Heavenly Palace, who had swept through everyone along the way, had suffered a great loss in front of the last headquarters of the Blood-clothed Tower. Four of the 12 martial governors had been seriously injured alongside the other experts.
When the news first got out, many people could not believe it!
They thought that it was impossible!
The strength of the Heavenly Palace was well known by everyone all over the world for a long time now. With so many people in the Divine Treasure Realm, it was easy to suppress the world.
Although the Blood-clothed Tower was fairly strong, people thought that it was almost impossible for them to compete with the Heavenly Palace.
Everyone knew the difference in strength between the two sides!
Under the circumstances of such a great disparity, however, things had unexpectedly turned out differently; Heavenly Palace was defeated by the Blood-clothed Tower.
Such a scene had been seen by the experts of various major forces, as they confirmed it with their own eyes.
“The Heavenly Palace actually failed?”
“The Blood-clothed Tower had been remaining silent, keeping such a powerful strength hidden!”
“What on earth did the Heavenly Palace encounter at the Blood-clothed Tower’s base?”
Many people were a little curious. They did not know what happened during the attack from the number of experts of the Heavenly Palace for them to have failed, and for several people to be severely injured.
At the Heavenly Palace base in front of the room that Lu Xuan was privately training in, numerous senior officials of the Heavenly Palace were kneeling on the ground and admitting their mistake.
Those high-level people who had been badly injured were now recovering inside the base.
Much later, the room Lu Xuan was in slowly opened.
Lu Xuan walked out slowly from inside and saw the experts of the Heavenly Palace kneeling down below.
Lu Xuan glanced at everyone and then asked, “Who can tell me what’s going on? Why did you fail?”
At that moment, Yang Chengsi was half kneeling in front of everyone when she said, “My Lord. When we attacked the last headquarter base of the Blood-clothed Tower, we were counterattacked and almost wiped out!”
Lu Xuan paused and said slowly, “You guys couldn’t handle it even with all your strength?”
Then Yang Chengsi recounted the events, and Lu Xuan realized what had happened in that battle.
At that moment, the Heavenly Palace had stormed into the base of the Blood-clothed Tower, who had no preparations at all. To be exact, they had felt that it was certain they were going to win.
They had more than 10 experts in the Divine Treasure Realm, so they felt that there was nothing they could not suppress.
Even when faced with the siege of the armored division of a big country, they could easily survive and make a swift counterattack with the line-up they had at the time.
Who would have thought that inside the base of the Blood-clothed Tower, there was a huge pool of blood? In the depths of the pool was some kind of blood monster.
“After the others and I rushed inside and forced the experts of the Blood-clothed Tower back, ready to uproot the entire base. Suddenly, a monster formed by a numerous amount of fresh blood appeared from the pool. Zhang Hongyang was seriously injured from just one attack, and everyone else was badly hurt. I can’t even imagine what would’ve happened if we hadn’t retreated in time!” Yang Chengsi said. “It is this subordinate’s incompetence. I ask the Palace Lord to punish me!”
Lu Xuan glanced at him and didn’t say too much. He just said faintly, “All right, you guys can get back up. It’s just a temporary setback!”
Lu Xuan did not take this defeat too personally, and everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing his statement.
They felt that they had done their best this time. It was not a crime of war, and the mysterious monster was truly terrifying.
They had never encountered such a monster before. Because they were unprepared, it had severely damaged them!
What made the monster extremely terrifying was the fact that it was strong enough to hurt an expert in the Divine Treasure Realm!
“Failure is not so bad, we can just regroup. Also, it is not an unknown monster. If I’m correct, that bloody monster should be a Blood Demon!” Lu Xuan frowned slightly. As soon as he thought about it, he had figured out what the creature in that blood pool was.
It was none other than a Blood Demon!
To be exact, this was also a type of demon, but they were very rare and could only be born under special circumstances. Many of them were not even born naturally but were specially nurtured by some people.
With the fine blood of countless people to develop, and then injecting it into the soul of an expert, a demon would be born. This was a Blood Demon.
In his previous life, Lu Xuan had dealt with this kind of demon. Thus, he was no stranger to it.
This was probably the Blood-clothed Tower’s real trump card.
Compared to other demons, the Blood Demon was very troublesome because they had no entity, only a mass of blood. Ordinary attacks would be ineffective against them.
Even so, the Blood Demon could transform into an entity to attack when necessary.
Also, blood was fundamental for Blood Demons to live. If there was a huge pool of blood in the base of the Blood-clothed Tower, then the Blood Demon would pretty much be immortal.
These people from Heavenly Palace had never seen a Blood Demon before, nor do they know that such a form of life existed in the first place. Therefore, it was natural to be suddenly caught off guard.
“No harm. Call everyone else, we’ll once again head to the Blood-clothed Tower’s headquarters. This time, I will personally lead the team and erase the Blood-clothed Tower’s headquarters from the earth!” Lu Xuan said faintly. He had not turned a blind eye to the failure of the previous operation of the Heavenly Palace.
“Great! With the Palace Lord personally attacking, they are dead for sure!”
Many senior officials of the Heavenly Palace were overjoyed. Even if the Blood-clothed Tower had superhuman powers, they would be dead for sure this time around with Lu Xuan personally made a move.
Although these people were also in the Divine Treasure Realm, they still understood the gap between them and Lu Xuan deep down.
The gap was as wide as heaven and earth.
Even though they were all in the Divine Treasure Realm, they would probably be no match for Lu Xuan even if they worked together.
It was Lu Xuan who had helped them make a breakthrough from the Airborne Realm to the Divine Treasure Realm. Without Lu Xuan, it would be impossible for them to do so as they were.
Lu Xuan had long been invincible to them. Since Lu Xuan would be personally leading the team this time, the Blood-clothed Tower would naturally not be able to escape.
However, what they did not know was that Lu Xuan’s strength had undergone an earth-shattering change without them realizing it.
When the Heavenly Palace was attacking everywhere to deal with the affairs of the Blood-clothed Tower, Lu Xuan was making a crucial breakthrough; he went from the Condensing Aether Realm, tier two of the Divine Treasure Realm, to the Great Aether Realm, tier three of the Divine Treasure Realm.
His strength had gone through an earth-shattering change!
Both his defense and attack had been significantly improved!
This was to be expected with the Celestial Master Golden Pill, which had been preserved and handed down for many years by the Celestial Master Taoists. It was very useful in cultivation.
It was amazing!
With the help of the Celestial Master Golden Pill, Lu Xuan had broken through again so quickly!
