Chapter 245: Divine fragments, understanding the rules, and getting a glimpse of the origin of heaven and earth!
"receive."
The body of True God Dayue was torn into pieces.
Almost half of it disappeared and turned into ashes.
However, Lu Changsheng immediately grabbed hold of True God Dayue's torn body.
Because this is the fragment of God.
Lu Changsheng knew the information about the major holy places very clearly.
Gods are basically impossible to capture alive.
If God only knows that he is defeated, he will self-destruct.
Once they self-destruct, the bodies of these gods will be completely reduced to ashes, leaving no fragments behind.
Therefore, don't expect to capture the god alive. You can only destroy the god and see how many fragments the god can leave behind in the end.
Lu Changsheng received the body fragments of True God Dayue in his hands.
He glanced slightly.
Then he shook his head, feeling a little regretful.
There are only three large fragments of the god.
The smaller ones cost more than a dozen yuan.
But a dozen or so small ones are actually useless.
It doesn't have much effect.
The fragments of gods needed by the Holy Land are all large fragments of gods.
"Three divine fragments are actually enough, which is equivalent to completing the tasks of three holy places."
"Many martial saints came to God's Realm for the first time, and not only did they get nothing, but they even died in God's Realm."
"Even if you can kill the god, you will only get one or two fragments in the end."
Lu Changsheng felt a little regretful.
However, he also knew that the three fragments were actually good luck.
Some of them blew up the gods and didn't even get a single fragment, so their work was completely in vain.
"Um?"
Lu Changsheng looked up.
Throughout the month, perfection is enveloped by a strong power of faith.
Now they are all collapsing rapidly.
The power of faith collapsed, and the Great Moon Virtual God was shattered and his body would never recover.
What's more, even the True God of the Great Moon was destroyed, so the False God of the Great Moon would naturally die.
Of course, True God Dayue will not die.
It is the incarnation of rules. If the heaven and earth are not destroyed, the gods will not die.
It will just fall into a deep sleep.
One day, it will be born again.
This is the terrifying thing about innate gods.
Therefore, the powerful immortals and martial arts teamed up to expel the innate gods to the divine realm.
There is really no way to completely kill these gods, so it is better to expel them.
It can also be left for warriors to "experience" and obtain fragments of gods, making it easier to become earth saints.
"Evil God, have mercy on me."
"We are willing to believe in Lord Evil God."
"Great Lord Evil God, spare my life..."
I saw that even True God Dayue was beaten to pieces by the "evil god" in front of me.
People throughout the month were confused.
Then some alert people trembled all over, with fear on their faces, and kept kowtowing to Lu Changsheng, begging for forgiveness.
They had heard that the evil gods were extremely evil and would destroy cities and countries at every turn.
Lu Changsheng didn't care about these people in Yuedu.
He came to Tang Lu.
If he leaves now, Tang Lu will be in great danger.
He might be beaten to death by the angry people in Yuedu.
"Walk."
Lu Changsheng waved.
Suddenly, he grabbed Tang Lu and turned into a stream of light, disappearing without a trace.
Although True God Dayue was destroyed by Lu Changsheng.
However, Lu Changsheng knew very well that once other gods tracked him down, he would be in trouble.
Therefore, the Great Moon God Dynasty cannot stay longer.
Lu Changsheng did not hesitate at this time. He used the power of the Holy Body and quickly returned to Kangcheng.
"Tang Lu, True God Dayue is dead. It may be very dangerous for you to stay in the Great Moon Dynasty."
"I will help you change your appearance and erase all information on you."
"Then you take your brother and leave the Great Moon God Dynasty. If you go to other dynasties, no gods will track you down."
Lu Changsheng had already thought about the aftermath.
"Tang Lu obeys the master's arrangements."
After hearing Lu Changsheng's words, Tang Lu felt slightly relieved.
In fact, he didn't care about her own life or death.
But she cares about her brother.
She doesn't want anything to happen to her brother.
Lu Changsheng, the "evil god", did not give up on her after using up his power, but instead thought of a way out for her.
Next, Lu Changsheng quickly gave both Tang Lu and his brother a makeover.
Erase all traces of them.
Then he sent them away from the Great Moon God Dynasty.
As for the future, they have to rely on themselves.
They couldn't leave the divine realm, so following Lu Changsheng had only one way to die.
After seeing off the Tang Lu siblings, Lu Changsheng no longer hesitated and headed straight outside the Divine Realm.
"Whoosh".
Lu Changsheng was very determined.
He left God's Domain directly and returned to the sea outside God's Domain.
Just as Lu Changsheng left.
An extremely powerful consciousness swept across the entire Great Moon God Dynasty in an instant.
"This aura...is the magical power of martial arts."
"A Martial Saint... who can single-handedly destroy True God Dayue is probably the top human Saint."
"He escaped quite quickly."
This terrifying existence makes people's hearts beat just by the glance of their consciousness.
I'm afraid it's not as simple as being a saint.
It’s not even an earthly saint, it’s probably a heavenly saint!
According to the division of gods.
Above the true God is the God-King.
Above the God King is the God Lord.
In fact, it is equivalent to the earth sage and the heaven sage.
Just the name is different.
"call……"
Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"This consciousness is so terrifying. It is definitely the God Lord, that is, the Heavenly Saint level!"
"If we were to move slower, it would be difficult to leave if we were stared at by this consciousness."
"I was already walking so fast, but I almost got caught."
Lu Changsheng was a little scared.
He underestimated the sensitivity of the gods.
Once a Martial Saint or Nascent Soul is found, the nearest god will rush over as soon as possible.
Any Martial Saint or Nascent Soul is the public enemy of the gods in the divine realm.
However, as long as you leave the divine realm, there is no need to be afraid.
Lu Changsheng found a desert island in the sea.
Then he sat cross-legged.
He immediately called up the properties panel.
Host: Lu Changsheng
Comprehension: (Praise for centuries)
Holy Body of Chaos: Power of all living beings (51%)
My understanding has already exceeded the 900,000 mark, and it seems that I am not far away from reaching one million.
Moreover, the progress of Chaos Holy Body has reached 51%, which can be said to be a rapid progress.
Lu Changsheng immediately took out the fragment of the god.
Lu Changsheng just examined the three large fragments of the god and then put them away.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He will not use the divine fragments casually.
Instead, there were more than a dozen small fragments of the god, which were very broken and turned into more than a dozen scattered fragments.
Lu Changsheng's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance.
Lu Changsheng actually knew a lot about the divine fragments.
Lu Changsheng knew from the Human Saint, Dao Earth Saint, that in ancient times, humans did not have fragments of gods.
The whole world is ruled by gods, and no one dares to resist gods.
Later, there were gradually warriors and immortal cultivators.
The first Earth Saint was not promoted using divine fragments.
Instead, he relied on himself to become an Earth Saint.
Of course, divine fragments have been proven to make it easier to advance to Earth Saint and more efficient. Lu Changsheng will not leave a better method aside and force himself to understand it and advance to Earth Saint.
Although Lu Changsheng's Chaos Holy Body has not yet reached perfection.
But Earth Sage pays more attention to perception.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng thought for a while, and a dozen very broken pieces were of no use anyway, so he would try it himself.
How magical are the fragments of gods?
So, Lu Changsheng took out a small fragment.
This fragment is only the size of a palm and looks very broken.
And it doesn’t look like it has much charm.
Lu Changsheng had a thought in his mind.
The Holy Body manifested and instantly refined this fragment of the god.
"boom".
When Lu Changsheng began to refine this divine fragment, he vaguely saw tiny lines in the void.
These tiny lines are densely packed and run through the void, as if the entire void is intertwined together.
"This is...the rule!"
Lu Changsheng understood.
rule.
An orderly world is naturally filled with various rules.
God itself is the incarnation of rules.
Lu Changsheng refined a small fragment of the god, which was actually comprehending the rules.
As for whether you can realize it or not, it depends on your understanding.
"Once the martial arts becomes a human saint and the holy body is forged, this holy body is the strongest means and foundation of the martial saint."
"However, when the holy body relies on the power of all living beings to reach perfection, there is no further possibility. The warriors start from the people of heaven and earth."
"The power of all living beings belongs to humans. And the earth represents the earth's gods. In a sense, it also represents the rules. The earth sage needs to understand the rules, use the rules to inspire the origin of heaven and earth, and refine the origin of heaven and earth into the holy body.
In this way, the Holy Body can be promoted to a further level and promoted to Earth Saint."
"As for heaven, it should be the way of heaven. If you want to be promoted to a heavenly saint, it is closely related to the way of heaven."
Lu Changsheng refined a small piece of the divine fragment, and naturally, he was so blessed that he understood the key to these practices.
The rules are just superficial.
What is really needed is to use rules to inspire the origin of heaven and earth.
Similarly, it is estimated that if True Lord Nascent Soul wants to advance to become a god, he also needs to understand the rules and activate the origin of heaven and earth.
】
"If you can't understand the rules, you can't activate the origin of heaven and earth."
"If you activate the origin of heaven and earth, you must achieve the perfection of the Holy Body if you want to refine it."
Lu Changsheng basically understood all the factors from human saint to earth saint.
No more doubts.
"Well, you can understand the rules first."
Lu Changsheng's understanding is as high as 900,000, which is very terrifying.
Even if it was just a small fragment of the god, it would actually be of great help to Lu Changsheng.
So, Lu Changsheng took out the second fragment.
He still has more than a dozen pieces of such small fragments.
It was enough for him to understand the rules represented by True God Dayue.
It’s so hard to pass a day.
The second block, the third block, the fourth block, the fifth block...
Lu Changsheng used thirteen fragments in a row.
When only one of the very tiny fragments of the god was left, Lu Changsheng was so blessed that he finally realized the rules.
"rule!"
Lu Changsheng was shocked!
The understanding of nine hundred thousand is indeed very terrifying.
Just by relying on very small fragments of the god, I have clearly understood the rules represented by the True God of the Moon.
Lu Changsheng followed this rule and "sensed" the origin of heaven and earth behind the rule.
The moment he saw the origin of heaven and earth, Lu Changsheng felt his own insignificance.
Even if he is already considered an invincible saint.
He is a lofty martial saint.
But, so what?
In front of the vast ocean-like source of heaven and earth, Lu Changsheng was like a drop in the ocean, very insignificant.
"stop."
Lu Changsheng stopped.
He couldn't continue watching.
If you continue reading, I'm afraid you won't be able to help but stir up the source of heaven and earth.
When the time comes, if Lu Changsheng's Chaos Holy Body cannot bear it, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
It may even cause the Holy Body to collapse, causing irreversible consequences.
As a result, Lu Changsheng regained consciousness.
"call……"
Lu Changshang breathed a sigh of relief.
"From human saints to earth saints, you need to understand the rules and sense the origin of heaven and earth. This is the first step."
"But this step is actually very difficult. Even if there is a large fragment of the god, many martial saints may not be able to understand the rules and sense the origin of heaven and earth."
Lu Changsheng knew very well.
He was able to understand the rules and sense the origin of heaven and earth by relying on more than a dozen tiny fragments of the gods. That was because his understanding was so terrifying.
Other martial saints do not have such terrifying understanding.
Even if he gave those large fragments of gods to those holy places.
I'm afraid most holy places can't even give birth to holy places.
"The second step is to activate the origin of heaven and earth. This step is actually relatively safe. If you just want to become an Earth Saint, then there is basically no problem in activating the origin of heaven and earth after the Holy Body is completed."
"However, if you want the Holy Body to be more powerful, you can try to activate two, three or even more sources of heaven and earth to make the Holy Body more powerful!"
There was a glint in Lu Changsheng's eyes.
The more sources of heaven and earth are attracted, if the holy body can resist it, it will absorb them all.
So there is no question, once promoted to Earth Saint, the strength will be even stronger!
Even, this is directly related to becoming a heavenly saint in the future.
Therefore, if a martial saint has confidence in his holy body, he will basically try to understand two or even three rules, thereby activating several sources of heaven and earth and promoting the transformation of the holy body.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is how you get a kind of divine fragment."
"It seems that we have to enter the divine realm again. But we can no longer obtain the divine fragments using the previous method. It is too dangerous."
"We have to find another way."
"Among the intelligence in those holy places, there is a method that many people are using..."
A piece of information appeared in Lu Changsheng's mind.
Martial Saints join forces!
Yes, there are actually many martial saints in the divine realm.
It is difficult for a Martial Saint alone to hunt down a god.
After all, not everyone is Lu Changsheng, who has the ability to hunt gods alone.
Most martial saints would choose to join forces and surround and kill the gods together.
In fact, these martial saints have formed a secret force in the divine realm called the "Holy Alliance".
Lu Changsheng does not need the Martial Saints to join forces, but he needs news and intelligence, especially information about gods.
You can't just leave it to chance every time.
What if the true god of the moon is a god king?
Even the God Lord?
Previously, Lu Changsheng just wanted to give it a try in the divine realm.
Although it was successful, it was actually very dangerous.
Now Lu Changsheng has determined his goal. He needs a large number of different divine fragments to prepare for his future promotion to Earth Saint.
Then contacting the Holy Alliance is undoubtedly a good way.
"Holy Alliance..."
"The Martial Saints of the ten Holy Lands have given me their contact information before. It shouldn't be difficult to find the Holy Alliance."
"Well, enter God's Domain and change your position. It's too dangerous here..."
Lu Changsheng immediately made a large circle outside the divine realm sealing circle.
Make sure it is far away from the previous location of the Great Moon God Dynasty.
So, Lu Changsheng stepped forward and his figure instantly disappeared into the magic circle.
Lu Changsheng entered the divine realm again.
"Shua".
Lu Changsheng's figure shook slightly.
He re-entered the divine realm.
He glanced around.
This is also on the beach, but there are also no people.
It seems that it is also an inaccessible place.
Lu Changsheng directly took out a communication stone.
On the communication stone, there are some contacts given by the ten holy places.
But Lu Changsheng didn't want to join the Holy Alliance before, so he didn't use it.
There are ten contacts in total, representing the contacts of the ten holy places.
"First find out which divine dynasty you are in? Which location is the approximate location? Then you can contact the nearest member of the Holy Alliance."
Lu Changsheng put away the communication stone and quickly walked towards the depths of the divine realm without using any of the power of the holy body.
Soon, Lu Changsheng sensed signs of human activity.
He came to a city called Hancheng.
"Hancheng...is this the Sunset Dynasty?"
Lu Changsheng finally found out that he had arrived at the Sunset Divine Dynasty.
When he was in the Dayue Dynasty, Lu Changsheng had some understanding of some of the Zhou Dynasty.
He remembered that the Sunset Dynasty should be in the north of the Great Moon Dynasty, and it was far away.
There are several divine dynasties in between.
It seemed that he had indeed run far away, and the Great Moon God would definitely not be able to find him if he looked towards the nearby gods.
At least, he was safe for the time being.
"Well, there happens to be a contact person in the Sunset Divine Dynasty, Xuanyang?"
When Lu Changsheng heard this name, it seemed like a Taoist title.
Could it be the True Lord Nascent Soul?
This is extremely possible.
The Holy Alliance not only has warriors, but also immortal cultivators, and there are also a large number of Nascent Soul Lords.
Lu Changsheng immediately contacted Xuanyang.
"Buzz".
Soon, an address appeared in the communication stone.
This kind of communication stone can only be used by warriors or immortal cultivators.
Even the gods cannot use it.
Of course, the gods may also capture some immortal cultivators or warriors and use them to "fish" by following the clues.
But this is rarely the case.
Moreover, in the divine realm, it is impossible to be completely risk-free.
Since the Holy Alliance can always survive in the God's Realm, it must have some means to prevent it from being destroyed so easily.
"This address...Sunset Mountains?"
The Sunset Mountains are huge.
However, since there are specific coordinates on it, it’s not difficult.
So, Lu Changsheng left Hancheng and rushed towards the Sunset Mountains.
Because you can only use the power of your physical body.
Lu Changsheng was a little slow on his way.
It took a full month to reach the Sunset Mountains.
According to the location of the communication stone, it is a valley.
There was no one around the valley.
Lu Changsheng frowned.
He immediately sent a message saying that he had arrived at the agreed location.
Then, Lu Changsheng found a place and waited quietly.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
"Shua".
Finally, there was movement outside the valley.
An old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion appeared in the valley.
"Where is Fellow Daoist Lu?"
The old man shouted loudly.
"But Fellow Taoist Xuanyang?"
Lu Changsheng appeared.
He stared at the old man. Based on his understanding of immortal cultivators, he was probably an immortal cultivator.
"Holy Alliance, Xuanyang."
"Green Mountain Holy Land, Lu Changsheng."
The person Lu Changsheng contacted True Lord Xuanyang this time was actually the contact person of Qingshan Holy Land.
Lu Changsheng naturally takes the status of Qingshan Holy Land.
After all, he is indeed considered an elder of Qingshan Holy Land now.
"Friend Lu Dao, please come with me."
Neither of them had anything to say.
Lu Changsheng immediately followed behind True Lord Xuanyang.
Neither of them used any extraordinary power, they just used their physical strength to run wildly through the mountains.
Then they entered a strange valley with an underground passage inside.
I don’t know how long I walked before I walked out of the passage.
My eyes suddenly opened up.
"here it is……"
Lu Changsheng was shocked and confused.
This place is too big.
Moreover, the Nascent Soul Lord and Martial Saint around him released their aura and power without any scruples, as if they were not afraid of being noticed by the gods at all.
Xuanyang Zhenjun said with a smile: "This is one of the branches of the Holy Alliance. Here are the formation flags and magic weapons given by the martial arts heavenly saints or immortals, thus setting up a large sealing formation to ensure that none of our breath is leaked.
.”
"Therefore, in the Holy League branch, there is no need to restrain the breath, and you can use any power."
Lu Changsheng understood.
Magic weapons at the Heavenly Saint level or the Void Refining level can eliminate all auras.
Even gods cannot spy on it.
Of course, it is definitely not easy to send such a magic weapon in, and it requires paying a high price.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But the Holy Alliance's ability to establish a stronghold is probably closely related to Tiansheng and Lianxu.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, everyone in the Holy League branch must swear by their Taoist heart not to reveal any information or location of the branch."
If you swear an oath with the Taoist heart, if you violate it, there will be some obstacles that will make your practice unable to go smoothly.
Of course, there are some people who are not worried at all.
This is a matter of opinion.
If you really want to reveal it, there are actually many ways.
Anyway, this is the situation.
The Holy Alliance's ability to survive to this day is definitely not due to everyone's Taoist oath.
But Lu Changsheng also abides by the rules and swears by his Taoist heart never to reveal the information and location of the Holy League branch.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, the Holy Alliance is a place where many fellow Taoists of Immortal and Martial Arts exchange information. You can cooperate with any fellow Taoist, or you can refuse, but in the Holy Alliance, you are not allowed to do anything in private. If you have any conflicts, you can go directly to the arena to resolve them.
No matter life or death."
"Remember, you must not take action privately, otherwise you will be expelled from the Holy Alliance."
"Moreover, the Holy Alliance will not take any coercive measures."
After saying that, Zhenjun Xuanyang said goodbye and left.
Lu Changsheng understood.
The Holy Alliance is equivalent to a stronghold of martial arts and immortality.
Let warriors and immortal cultivators have a foothold in the divine realm, so that they will not have difficulty surviving in the divine realm and be hunted down everywhere.
Obviously, this must be the work of Tiansheng, Lianxu.
Back then, the Heavenly Sages and the powerful Void Refiners were able to drive the gods to the God Realm, so what's so strange about establishing strongholds in the God Realm?
Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry to find the god.
Instead, let’s take a walk around the Holy Alliance first and learn about the situation in the Holy Alliance.
After about three or five days, Lu Changsheng almost understood it.
In the Holy Alliance, the main thing is the exchange of information and intelligence.
For example, knowing the specific situation of a certain god.
Then invite Wu Sheng and Nascent Soul to form a team and surround and kill them together.
Decide in advance how to distribute it, etc.
Of course, they are basically surrounded by gods at the level of killer saints.
That is the true God.
As for the God King?
Few people dare to surround and kill.
After all, the God King is comparable to the Earth Saint!
For warriors and immortal cultivators, the effect of using divine fragments and the divine king will definitely be the best.
It is said that a fragment of a god king can allow people to sense the rules very clearly and thus master them.
But with the strength of the Human Saint, he surrounded and killed the God King with the strength of the Earth Saint?
That's too risky.
If you don't pay attention, your entire army will be wiped out.
Of course, it is even less necessary for Lu Changsheng.
With his understanding, fragments of ordinary true gods can allow him to understand the rules.
There is absolutely no need for the fragments of the God King.
But Lu Changsheng didn’t want to form a team.
Forming a team actually involves certain risks.
There is also the possibility of being stabbed in the back.
Even if there is an oath, it is actually unreliable.
The benefits are exciting.
Lu Changsheng is more inclined to buy clues to the true god and act alone.
It doesn't matter even if the price you pay is a little higher.
However, there are risks, even very high risks.
In case the information is inaccurate.
What if the other party is not a true god, but a god king?
Or, the god in the information has a god king nearby.
Once you take action, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth and a dead end?
Therefore, although some people sell information about the true god, few people dare to buy it.
Only some people who are willing to take risks will buy information.
Lu Changsheng saw a martial saint.
The other party has been selling a piece of information.
"Do you have information on the specific location of a true god?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"have."
"what do you need?"
"If you can get more than two divine fragments, just give me one. If you only have one, it belongs to you."
This Martial Saint is pretty straightforward.
"Is the information accurate?"
"It's absolutely true! There is no God King nearby. It will take at least half an hour for the nearest God King to arrive."
"Half an hour should be enough, right?"
Lu Changsheng weighed it slightly.
From taking action to destroying the true god.
Half an hour is indeed enough.
There is still plenty of time to escape.
It sounds pretty good.
However, the authenticity and accuracy of the information are very important.
Lu Changsheng couldn't trust this Martial Saint.
"I can agree to your conditions, but I also have a request."
"You have to follow me to find the true God. You don't have to do anything, you can blend in with the crowd, but you have to go with me to find the true God and you can't run away."
"If you dare to escape, I will kill you!"
Lu Changsheng said coldly.
"Um?"
The other party's expression changed.
"Are you going alone instead of forming a team?"
Wu Sheng seemed to have heard the implication of Lu Changsheng's words, and asked with some surprise.
"Yes, I am alone."
Lu Changsheng admitted it openly.
"You dare to hunt the true god alone..."
Wu Sheng stared at Lu Changsheng with bright eyes.
He has been with the Holy Alliance for a long time.
Know what it means for a person to dare to hunt the true God.
Either he is a lunatic or he is very strong and confident that he can deal with the true God by himself.
Such people are almost all Earth Saint Seeds.
There is great hope to become a Earth Saint in the future.
"Let me think about it for a while."
Wu Sheng hesitated.
"Three days, I only give you three days."
"Give me an answer in three days."
After saying that, Lu Changsheng turned around and left.
He knew that this Martial Saint still didn't want to take risks.
I just want to wait for clues to be provided, and then wait quietly in the Holy Alliance.
But, how can such a good thing happen so easily?
No one would buy a clue for no reason, then work hard for it, and finally give the other party a piece of the god fragment that they worked so hard to obtain.
If selling leads was so easy, the other party wouldn't have waited so long at the Holy Alliance branch, and in the end no one would buy it.
Lu Changsheng is very confident.
Most likely the other party will agree to it.
Time passes day by day.
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.
Lu Changsheng came to the Martial Saint again.
"How are you thinking about it?"
Lu Changsheng glanced at the other party.
Obviously, after three days, the other party still failed to sell the leads.
Wu Sheng took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, I agree to your terms and go with you."
"But I will never take action. Once there is a possibility of your defeat, I will escape as soon as possible."
Lu Changsheng smiled.
"no problem."
As long as the other party agrees to go together, then the other party should not dare to provide false news.
This clue is probably true!
"However, I cannot believe in your strength."
"Go to the ring and let me see your strength. Are you qualified enough to hunt the true god by yourself?"
A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the strange Martial Saint.
He didn't want to accompany an ordinary martial saint to die.
"as you wish."
Lu Changsheng nodded and agreed.
So, the two of them walked straight towards the ring.
