CHAPTER 187: CHAPTER 185: VERSION UPDATE?

"Something’s wrong!"

Lu Yan moved swiftly through a desolate mountain and old forest, with more than ten strangely-looking True Martial Artists following him from several kilometers away.

After leaving the Beimang Forbidden Land Ruins, Lu Yan chose first to leave the human territory and hide in the wilderness to complete the last 10% of the version’s progression.

However, within just three days, the truth about the True Technique on Lu Yan spread throughout the human race and was quickly confirmed by various factions.

With the identity of an Underworld Envoy, Lu Yan was bound by the Prestige of the Lord of the Underworld and the many Ghost Gods.

The thousand-year aristocratic family standing at the pinnacle of the human race was also tied with Lu Yan through the "Chang Chun Skill," making it impossible for them to openly attack even if tempted.

But in the demon version, there were more than just thousand-year families.

Many large and small forces, loose cultivator True Martial Artists were not concerned about the Ghost Gods, the Lord of the Underworld.

The lifespan of the strong in the demon version was inherently short, and the True Technique on Lu Yan was a temptation to countless powerful martial artists nearing the end of their lifespan.

To them, Lu Yan was like a delicious piece of meat; as long as they took a small bite, they had the hope of reaching the peak of the demon version.

As for failing to take a bite? Death was just a word!

For those who walked the path of True Martial Artists, how many of them were normal people?

Madmen who frantically assimilated themselves with the Great Dao, if they were afraid to dispute over True Technique due to fear of a powerful background? That would indeed be a great joke!

In such an environment, countless experts with strange treasures and secret techniques and true intents of the Great Dao emerged in an endless stream, and these abilities could find no target before Lu Yan’s identity was exposed.

But after Lu Yan’s identity was exposed, these secret techniques and true intents were no longer restrained.

Even though Lu Yan possessed Profound Unity True Intent, he still found it difficult to deal with the endless means he faced.

Occasionally, he was unable to maintain the Profound Unity True Intent for a split second, exposing his whereabouts and attracting a swarm of expert’s pursuit.

Glancing at the numerous True Martial Artists following behind him, the Giant Spirit God within the Soul Banner, who had reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment, began deducing.

Seconds later, Lu Yan came to a stop on the branch of a tall tree, turning back to look at the eleven Soul Burial Realm True Martial Artists present.

As soon as all Soul Burial Realm True Martial Artists stepped within a range of 300 meters, the true intent of the Great Dao on Lu Yan bore no reservations, and a three-meter-high purple Profound Vagina Door thunderously opened.

A massive vortex gathered the foundations of all laws and Dao, locking in all the true intents of the Great Dao from the True Martial Artists.

In the next moment, three Ghost Gods and eight hundred Yin Soldiers manifested within the range of the Profound Vagina Door.

The many True Martial Artists instinctively wanted to turn around and flee, but they had already lost the opportunity.

The eight hundred Yin Soldiers, along with two Peak Foundation Establishment Ghost Gods, deployed an array, transforming the 300-meter area as if into a Netherworld Purgatory, with spirit-devouring flames suddenly rising from the earth, swallowing all the True Martial Artists.

Nine Netherworld Fire Array!

The Great Formation of the Underworld newly deduced by the Giant Spirit God, fully exerting the capabilities of the Peak Foundation Establishment Ghost Gods.

Among the eleven Soul Burial Realm True Martial Artists, five in the early stage of Soul Burial Realm were instantaneously scattered, leaving only six True Martial Artists.

In the third second, three Soul Burial Realm mid-stage True Martial Artists found it impossible to resist the burning of the Nine Netherworld Fire, and their bodies and souls returned to the Great Dao.

By the seventh second, two True Martial Artists in the late stage of Soul Burial Realm fell.

By the tenth second, the only True Martial Artist at the peak of Soul Burial Realm melted away like ice and snow.

Thus, in ten seconds, all eleven Soul Burial Realm True Martial Artists were utterly eradicated.

After completing all this, Lu Yan flicked his finger, and eleven Profound Yellow Merit Fires landed on the corpses of the True Martial Artists, severing the karmic connection through Merit Divine Techniques.

The Ghost Gods and Yin Soldiers returned to the Soul Banner as Lu Yan activated Profound Unity True Intent, disappearing into the horizon as a stream of light.

...

Such battles had occurred countless times during these past days.

When faced with Soul Burial Realm Martial Artists, Lu Yan was confident he could quickly resolve the situation, waiting for the opportunity to set the Array of Shadow Soldiers and obliterate them in one fell swoop.

But if the pursuers included a Mara Realm powerful figure, Lu Yan would absolutely avoid engaging them in direct combat.

Utilizing the Soul Banner and the True Intent of the Great Dao he mastered, Lu Yan had the qualifications to face a Mara Realm strong figure.

The problem, however, was that Lu Yan faced not just a single enemy, but an unending tide of True Martial Artists.

Under such circumstances, if Lu Yan engaged a Mara Realm strong figure for too long, he risked being targeted by more experts.

Additionally, another hidden danger was that if Lu Yan used the Soul Banner and couldn’t kill the Mara Realm strong figure, the Ghost Gods within the Soul Banner would be exposed.

By then, the hard-maintained prestige of the Underworld would be directly reduced to dust, and even the thousand-year aristocratic families would dare to act against Lu Yan without hesitation from the Underworld.

For Lu Yan, confronting a Mara Realm strong figure without a doubt was a high-risk, low-reward approach.

Once a Mara Realm strong figure tracked him, Lu Yan’s only choice was to use a Triple Kill True Intent.

Lu Yan’s early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation executing the Triple Kill True Intent could not annihilate the Mara Realm, but the intent to kill from heaven, earth, and humanity would be enough to stall the Mara Realm strong figure, allowing Lu Yan to utilize Profound Unity True Intent to escape stealthily.

Of course, all of these were merely the ideal scenarios.

During these days, Lu Yan had also encountered many tough opponents.

Some Soul Burial Realm True Martial Artists had a sharp sense of crises and never ventured within the 300 meter range of the Profound Vagina Door.

Some Mara Realm strong figures possessed wondrous treasures, able to withstand the Triple Kill True Intent, almost trapping Lu Yan in an encirclement.

As time went on, these tough adversaries gradually increased, maintaining a relentless pursuit for a full thirteen days.
