Chapter 677: Old Monster Lu Making an Appearance

At a hill standing above a vast piece of flatland less than 50 kilometers away from Tianhai City…

That flatland was already filled with people.

Due to the secret realm having been opened so many times before, everyone knew that this secret realm was actually at the top of that hill. It was technically not a proper secret realm within Tianhai City, but it was still just less than 50 kilometers away.

That kind of distance was a walk in the park for those at the Divine Transformation Realm.

However, all of those people only dared to loiter about a kilometer away from the hill without getting too close.

They all knew that those who dared to go up that hill were practically supreme beings at the Divine Transformation Realm.

One by one, silhouettes arrived with a formidable aura being exuded around them.

While the place was considered right outside Tianhai City, it had technically become a shared secret realm among all the nearby cities. Additionally, Tianhai City’s strength preventing him from claiming the secret realm as well.

“Wait, isn’t that Sage Tianheng? Huh, I heard that he’s pretty close to dying by now. He’s here to participate in the opening of that secret realm one last time.”

“The president of the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce is here too. It’s been years since he made an appearance. I heard that his grandson is the one taking care of the chamber of commerce now. He’s apparently now here for the secret realm.”

“That’s quite a lot of them. Over 30 fighters at the Divine Transformation Realm already showed up in mere moments.”

However, some people appeared to have known the rules. They simply chuckled as they said, “Oh, this is no big deal. The truly powerful ones have yet to show up.”

Naturally, those who truly knew about the rules also knew very well that none of the people who had now shown up were amongst the most powerful among experts at the Divine Transformation Realm. Although those people were considered the weakest among the Great Ancestors at the Divine Transformation Realm, there was still plenty of them.

It did not take long for the nearby crowd to see that someone else seemed to have torn a fissure in the sky before descending up that hill like a meteor.

“It’s Great Ancestor Zhang of Yuanzhou City. Man, I didn’t expect to see him here today as well. I heard that he is known as the strongest in all of Yuanzhou City.”

Some people among the crowd were almost able to recognize that man instantly with a single glance. That man was none other than the Great Ancestor of the Zhang Clan hailing from a large city named Yuanzhou City.

Despite being a Great Ancestor at the Divine Transformation Realm, it was also obvious that Great Ancestor Zhang was far more powerful than other experts at the Divine Transformation Realm who showed up earlier.

Apparently, he acted completely different from the others.

Another middle-aged man who emanated heretical qi descended from above Great Ancestor Zhang, standing a considerable distance away from the former. His aura was every bit comparable with Great Ancestor Zhang. This man was also apparently a cut above the rest.

Some quickly recognized this man as soon as he arrived. That man was Great Ancestor Xiedao from Mount Xiejian.

Another formidable fighter was a cut above the rest.

Many people immediately gulped at the sight of him. While many formidable fighters came from that continent, most of them were actually average cultivators at the first tier of the Divine Transformation Realm. Only a handful of them was capable of making it to the second tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.

There were only a handful of such beings, with two of them being Great Ancestor Zhang of Yuanzhou City and Great Ancestor Xiedao of Mount Xiejian.

It did not take long for the third supreme fighter to appear right after Great Ancestor Xiedao arrived. The one who came after those two was a crone who was dressed like an oracle, making her look extremely mystical. Her signature aura as a cultivator was completely different from the others.

However, there were still some that believed she hailed from that major religion nearby. That crone was the leader of the Faith of the Holy Maiden.

The Faith of the Holy Maiden worshipped a celestial maiden from the outside world named the Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens. This deity was said to have been one of the gods who walked along a godly path, making her completely different from the others. Even so, her powers were unparalleled.

“All three supreme fighters made their appearance. They were never seen in the secret realm event of Tianhai City before, as they were all occupied with their daily training. It wasn’t easy to even see them around. It’s quite a miracle now to see all three of them gathered around in one place.”

Some were still puzzled. Those three beings were practically the strongest cultivators that they knew. Apparently, these cultivators were far more powerful than the others at the Divine Transformation Realm.

Those three were at the second tier of the Divine Transformation Realm. As such, they were of supreme status in that region.

They were so formidable that even the cultivation forces that they established had more than one cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm in their ranks. That made these forces very powerful.

“I bet they’re all here because of that Old Monster Lu. Haven’t you heard about that Old Monster Lu crushing the entire Blood Wolf Pirate group all on his own?”

“Is the Old Monster Lu himself going to show up today?”

“Yeah, you could say that again. Why else would so many people be gathering around today? The number was far higher than any of the previous years, man. Many of these people are actually here to see that Old Monster Lu and figure out what is the deal with that guy.”

Many knew very well why the three titans would appear there at the same time on that day, primarily because of Lu Xuan.

Recently, Lu Xuan’s renown grew so much that it was only natural that he became widely known around the world. Even those three titans would personally show up at the event.

“Is Old Monster Lu truly going to show up? The secret realm of Tianhai City is about to open. If he doesn’t get here soon, he probably wouldn’t have been able to make it.”

Many turned to look in the direction where Tianhai City was.

The crowd then finally saw Lu Xuan and his entourage coming in a huge formation.

The one who took the lead of that entourage was a dashing young man who wore a bluish-white robe.

“That’s the famed Old Monster Lu?”

Many turned to look curiously at that dashing young man who possessed very chiseled features. It was especially so given that they heard that it was that young man who was rumored to have slaughtered the members of the Blood Wolf Pirate group, that he was the rumored Old Monster Lu. That piqued many people’s interests.

Lu Xuan made his way to the top of the hill as if he was on his own. Then, he looked at the other three titans who were at the Divine Transformation Realm.

Anyone else would have felt very uneasy when gazed upon by a ground of Great Ancestors at the Divine Transformation Realm.

However, Lu Xuan’s case was different. He had been through occasions that were over 100 times more solemn than what was currently happening before them. Not only did he appear unfazed, but he was also hardly even concerned deep down.

He put both of his hands behind him and waited quietly for that secret realm at the top of the hill to open.

The eyes of many spectators fell onto Lu Xuan, making him the focus of their attention.

The gaze was especially intense from those three supreme ones. Surprised by Lu Xuan’s appearance, all three of them secretly amplified their powers to cast immense pressure upon him.

However, they were all astonished by the fact that their pressure was utterly ineffective against Lu Xuan; the man did not even budge.

All that formless pressure that was cast onto Lu Xuan looked as if it got sucked into some bottomless pit, leaving none of it behind.

It was like a bull made of dirt walking into the ocean only to quickly be dissolved without a trace of its existence being left behind.

The pressure that was cast on Lu Xuan took no form. All three of them remained stoic, with nothing notable on their faces. As such, nobody knew that the four of them secretly began to fight each other.

To put it precisely, the three titans were ganging up on Lu Xuan but failed to make him even budge from where he stood.

While that pressure took no true form, it truly did have various effects on cultivators. The combined pressure from the three was so massive that it might have made any common folk fall to their knees.

Even so, Lu Xuan remained looking like he was having a good time with nothing bothering him.
