Cultivating Through The Game

If a demon were to directly separate its spirit from its body and escape, Lu Yu would be able to detect it immediately.

However, the spirit attached to the flesh is further concealed by the chaotic power fluctuations around it, making it difficult to notice the delicate spirit waves within the flesh.

As the chaotic energy within the Alternate Space battlefield gradually subsided, Lu Yu saw the scene of the outside world gradually emerge around him.

After the battle ended, he returned to the external battlefield once again.

Glancing at the distance, Lu Yu departed the spot at the fastest speed, retreating back to the safety zone occupied by humans.

Rumble~ The Demonic Qi surged, and a hazy giant shadow appeared in the sky. The demonic silhouette glanced down at Lu Yu disappearing into the horizon, and then it slowly vanished from the sky.

It intended to make a move but didn't expect Lu Yu to flee so quickly, escaping back to the human territory in the blink of an eye.

If it acted too late, it would be blocked by human experts.

Though Lu Yu felt some regret for not killing the high-rank demon of the Divine Manifestation Realm, he was more delighted, having proven he possessed power comparable to a high-rank of the Divine Manifestation Realm through this battle.

Lu Yu recalled the natives he met in the Netherworld, and the elder who introduced him to the true Netherworld.

It was only upon reaching his current realm, did Lu Yu realize the elder's formidable power.

Even the Martial Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Realm did not give him such an inscrutable feeling, causing Lu Yu to suspect that the elder was a strong figure of the Sacred Ancestral Realm.

Even such a powerful person was forced into dire straits by the demons, filling Lu Yu's heart with a weighty pressure, and urging him to become stronger by any means possible.

Originally, Lu Yu thought that reaching the Divine Manifestation Realm would grant him some self-preservation capabilities.

But now it seemed that any demon of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Realm could easily kill him.

The demons of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Realm were not the ultimate disaster; they were merely part of it, a very small part.

As soon as Lu Yu returned to the fortress, Zhao Tianjue found him, and for the first time, Lu Yu saw a shadow over Zhao Tianjue's face, who had always appeared confident and assured.

His heart instinctively thudded, realizing that something possibly terrible had happened.

With a thought, Zhao Tianjue emitted an invisible wave that enveloped them, isolating Lu Yu and himself from the world, making their conversation inaudible to the outside.

"The situation is not optimistic."

Zhao Tianjue's first words made Lu Yu feel that things were serious; otherwise, someone of his stature would never say such a thing.

Without waiting for Lu Yu to inquire, Zhao Tianjue immediately continued.

"You must return to the Divine Martial Realm now, as this place may very well be abandoned," Zhao Tianjue said.

Hearing this, Lu Yu was shocked beyond words, what did it mean? The Great Zhou Dynasty was actually going to abandon the external battlefield!

It was known that the external battlefield was the portal to the void, losing this battlefield would mean severing the Divine Martial Realm's connection to the void.

In the future, to reach the void would only be possible by shattering it, which would cut off the path for most people.

The external battlefield was dangerous, but at least it could still allow those in the Sea of Qi Realm and the Core Formation Realm to survive. Losing it means that only Martial Cultivators above the Distraction Realm could venture into the void thereafter.

This implied that the Divine Martial Realm wouldn't be able to obtain cultivation resources from the void, making the future situation for Martial Cultivators even bleaker.

Zhao Tianjue did not waste words, he directly told Lu Yu that the Divine Martial Realm's barrier had been breached by demons.

Amid the desperation, the founding Sacred Ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty appeared, using his unparalleled power among the stars to open a whole new space.

All demons invading the Divine Martial Realm through the barrier would be transported into the space created by the Sacred Ancestor, which would become the new battlefield.

That was the last defense of the Divine Martial Realm; if breached, there would be no more defenses, making it as vulnerable as a nude beauty, open to violation.

For this reason, all of the Divine Martial Realm's forces had been assembled and sent into that space. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Most importantly, the Sacred Ancestor altered the rules of that space with his mighty power, where killing demons could rapidly enhance one's cultivation level.

Zhao Tianjue wanted him to go there, to the space opened by the Sacred Ancestor to quickly improve his strength.

After hearing this, Lu Yu was extremely shocked, never imagining that the Sacred Ancestor's power was so vast, capable of creating a world akin to a game.

Simultaneously, he couldn't help but harbor a suspicion in his heart, questioning if the "Divine Martial Realm game" was also created by some Sacred Ancestor?

As Zhao Tianjue's words fell, the earth shook, and Lu Yu saw vast auroras begin to appear at the horizon, emanating from the particles annihilated within the space storm.

This indicated that this land was detaching from the regular space.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Tianjue opened a channel to the Divine Martial Realm, instructing, "Hurry up and leave, or it will be too late to return."

With a complex expression, Lu Yu looked at the soldiers below and then at Zhao Tianjue's divinity before stepping into the passage.

The soldiers on the external battlefield would not retreat to the Divine Martial Realm, as the Great Zhou Dynasty needed them to hold off the demons on the battlefield.

The top experts on the human side, several of Ten Thousand Phenomena Realm, combined efforts to shatter this world, willingly severing the connection between the external battlefield and the Divine Martial Realm.

Unexpectedly, the demons did not intervene, allowing the humans to destroy the path to the Divine Martial Realm.

The remaining soldiers would continue to fight the endless demons on the continent drifting in the void.

Zhao Tianjue watched the disappearing Lu Yu, then turned back to the fortress; he was not an ordinary avatar, but an independent person.

The avatar's strength did not stem from Zhao Tianjue; it was earned through painstaking cultivation.

Zhao Tianjue originally intended for this avatar to reach the Ten Thousand Phenomena Realm, then merge with his divinity, thus breaking through to the Ten Thousand Phenomena Realm and achieving the position of Sacred Ancestor.

But now, there was no time left.

"He would make the same decision!"

The avatar seemed to see the decision his true self had made.

He could have left with Lu Yu, but he chose to stay, to live and die with the soldiers remaining on this land.

Zhao Tianjue considered himself not a sentimental person but a rational one.

Yet this time, he wanted to act emotionally for once, to live for himself, to be a real person.
