The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 463 - 377 Jia Sha, Sudden Mutation_1

Lu Yuan was practicing martial arts.

In the modest courtyard, the setting sun slanted its rays.

There were no intrusive sounds, no wind, only him dancing alone.

He started with the most basic hand-to-hand combat, moving to the Heaven Water Sect, Dragon Sect, Whale Body Covering Sea Flow... and eventually the Heavenly Palace Sect.

The martial arts heritage of hundreds of families came to life in his hands, flowing as smoothly as passing clouds and flowing water.

From crude to exquisite, from simple to complex.

His momentum was like the converging of countless rivers, accumulating in billows like waves.

Finally, it culminated in a stormy sea, transitioning abruptly yet smoothly to the God Elephant Sect and Nether Crow Sect.

Lu Yuan’s spirit was composed, slowly entering a state of self-forgetfulness.

The martial arts of the God Elephant Sect and Nether Crow Sect kept interchanging in his hands. The former emphasized force, the latter intention.

Lu Yuan’s mind and body seemed to separate. Gradually, his hands were left practicing only the techniques of the God Elephant Sect.

This was also the battle method he commonly used. It was the one he was most proficient in, ingrained in his muscles, having become almost instinctual.

In Lu Yuan’s mind, he began to imagine the projections of a three-headed, six-armed Elephant God, an eternally shattering earth, a majestic and immortal Demon Mountain...

All these images were incorporated into his punches and kicks.

In a daze, Lu Yuan suddenly encountered a dense and unknown barrier.

He extended his punches and kicks, trying to break through this barrier.

But it was like pressing against an extremely elastic ball; he was forcefully pushed back.

HUMMM—

Like a taut bowstring snapping back sharply.

An invisible, pure, and terrifying power erupted as a consequence.

In an instant, around Lu Yuan’s body, the entire courtyard floor’s bluestone tiles, as well as the surrounding walls of the courtyard... all silently turned into powder finer than sand at the same time.

Lu Yuan stopped his actions, looking at his hands with a calm expression, a strange and astonished look in his eyes.

He had just used no force at all, whether it was pure Physical Strength or energies like Universe Qi.

It was just pure practice of moves, yet it produced such an astonishing effect.

It seems like... an extra bonus brought by the Miracle Realm?

Lu Yuan thought. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

He had touched two different "Miracle Realms."

One was the "Miracle Realm" that enhanced strength, reached while in the Ming King stance of the Elephant God.

The other time was when he opened the Death Teller Occupation panel and, while manipulating Death Qi to perform Nether Crow Sect martial arts, touched the "Miracle Realm" that had a special impact on the soul level.

This time, undoubtedly, it was the former.

Only the way he touched it was completely different from before.

Previously, he was in the Ming King stance, using various secret techniques to continually enhance his Physical Strength, reach a certain level, and forcefully connect with the corresponding Miracle Realm.

The process just now was more subtle, naturally touching the threshold of that mysterious realm.

From Lu Yuan’s several experiences and his understanding of the "Miracle Realm," this is undoubtedly an incredible treasure. It feels somewhat similar to Martial Arts True Intention, or the will of a Grandmaster, but it’s completely different in reality. It’s not illusory! It’s not a mental deterrent, but a tangible enhancement of power, an infusion; it’s substantial. Moreover, Lu Yuan is sure that this "treasure" is not within him, but comes from outside. He just unintentionally touched a "key," stealthily prying open a tiny gap of this treasure. But even so, an incredible power was leaking out.

In a certain way, it’s quite similar to the Life Star Chart power described by Supernova.... Once Supernova comprehends the power of his Life Star Chart, he can ’borrow’ extra energy from the universe to enhance his attacks. This process resembles the additional power boost I received from the Miracle Realm after entering it....

But Lu Yuan hadn’t even begun to learn the Starry Sky Martial Path, and when he received the "strength" infusion from entering the Miracle Realm, he didn’t feel any signs of cosmic energy being mobilized.

It’s unclear...

Lu Yuan couldn’t figure it out after pondering, so he temporarily set it aside.

Either way, it’s good for me.

Lu Yuan believed that this might be a major direction for his future progress.

He was increasingly feeling that as one’s realm of strength advanced, merely stacking pure energy was far from enough.

He tried again to touch the "Miracle Realm" in a normal state without using any force, but he could no longer find the previous state.

That state was too rare; it was a Flash of Insight, fleeting.

Lu Yuan felt that only when he no longer needed to rely on luck and could find that state at will would his "Miracle Realm" truly be considered initiated.

"Young Master."

A gentle, middle-aged male voice came to his ears.

Lu Yuan followed the sound and saw Liu Si standing respectfully outside the courtyard.

The area beneath his feet and around him was a mess, yet he seemed not to have noticed at all.

"The person the Young Master wished to see has arrived. He is now waiting in the side hall."

"Oh? Take me there."

Lu Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly. He tidied himself up a bit and then directly asked Liu Si to lead the way.

「Fifteen minutes later.」

A tall, foreign middle-aged man rushed out of the Linghe Pavilion, got into a black sedan, and quickly left.

In the side hall of Linghe Pavilion, Lu Yuan sat expressionless.

The person he had just seen was Sakfu of the Mosa Religion, who was technically his direct subordinate, although he had long forgotten about this guy. Now that he thought about it, he wanted to increase the Occupation level of the [Spear Holder (Extraordinary)], so he had called the man for questioning.

However, the outcome did not satisfy Lu Yuan.

"Because all my apparent identities under Yellow Bear have been erased, the Spear Holders in Sum Country don’t acknowledge my current Silver Spear Holder status. The Mosa Religion headquarters also seems preoccupied with other matters recently and hasn’t had the time to send someone to verify and handle my situation..."

Lu Yuan felt slightly irritated.

Previously, Mosa had "pleaded" with him to attend the Spear Holder’s conference, preparing to formally absorb him into the religion, but he didn’t feel the need to go, so he hadn’t.

Now, when he planned to develop further within the Mosa Religion, they had no time to spare him.

Was it that he was once dismissive of Mosa, and now, Mosa deemed him out of reach?

When I first received the Silver Spear Holder title, my strength was only S-rank. A Silver Spear Holder, at best, possesses SS-rank power, equivalent to a rank-one combatant. The Golden Spear Holders above them are likely around rank-two or rank-three. Even if there’s a higher tier above Golden Spear Holder, their strength is probably unremarkable...

Lu Yuan lightly tapped the armrest of his pearwood chair, thinking. With Mosa’s resources, even without relying on Yellow Bear’s influence, I should be able to handle this alone. If the main approach is truly blocked, then I’ll just have to force my way in. The only concern is not to cause too much of a disturbance and attract the attention of the Distant Star Federation.

Should I pay a visit to the Mosa Religion headquarters?

Lu Yuan was somewhat tempted. He was just about to urgently contact Yu Wentong, asking her to help him find the address of the Mosa Religion headquarters and, incidentally, report this matter to Lord Tong.

Just then, Liu Si led someone into the room in a hurry.

"Young Master..."

Before Liu Si could finish his sentence, Lu Yuan’s gaze fell on the person behind him.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, that person didn’t say a word, directly bypassed Liu Si, and knelt down before him with a THUD, kowtowing and calling out in a low voice, "Emperor."

Lu Yuan’s eyes narrowed, his aura converging. He spoke calmly, "Speak."

The person kneeling on the ground raised his head, revealing a gloomy, deathly pale face. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "We... are in trouble."

「Jia Sha.」

A small country neighboring Great Sum.

It had a dry and hot climate; half of the country was desert, while the other half was dense, primeval jungle.

Jia Sha boasted rich tourism resources. Every year, a large number of tour groups, archaeological teams, and explorers from all over the world came here. It was a shining pearl located in the Gobi Desert.

Several planes roared overhead in the azure sky.

A battered, black-and-yellow old bus rumbled and swayed on the sandy road for a while, then stopped in front of a small desert city full of exotic charm.

The bus door opened, and the tour guide, holding a little red flag, proficiently switched between various languages, loudly urging the tourists on the bus to disembark.

Two figures swathed in black and blue plaid cloth disembarked from the bus among the bustling crowd of tourists. They quickly left the group and disappeared into the sand-colored adobe city before them.

The two, one in front of the other, zigzagged through the alleys of the small city.

Finally, they stopped in front of a low, wooden gate.

The one leading the way knocked lightly on the door. From within, a deep, hoarse voice responded in the local Jia Sha dialect. The speech was somewhat halting, yet carried a profound chill.

"Who is it?"

"Me."

The impatient person leading the way pushed open the door and entered. He directly pulled down the cloth covering his body, revealing his empty right sleeve and his sinister, ruthless appearance.

The room was unlit; only a faint light shone in through the cracks in the adobe window.

There were only two people in the room.

One was an old man with slicked-back hair, wearing sunglasses, possessing a dignified and steady aura.

The other was slightly younger, lean, with blood-soaked bandages wrapped around his chest and arms.

"You’ve come, so...." the lean, bandaged middle-aged man, his face deathly pale, grimly asked the sinister-looking old man who had just entered.

Before he could finish speaking, a calm voice sounded from behind him.

"I, too, have come."

The sand-proof shawl fell, revealing a young man with lustrous white hair and a handsome face, who walked forward slowly with a calm expression.

The original two people in the room saw this person, their eyes flickering. After exchanging a glance, they respectfully lowered their voices and said, "Your subordinate greets the Emperor."

"Mm."

The handsome young man responded faintly.

The two who had stepped into the hut were none other than Lu Yuan and Guard Ying, who had traveled all the way from Sum Country.

There had been an unexpected incident with the Eight Great Protectors of the Evil Martial Association, who were tasked with obtaining the Feathered Serpent God’s Heart for him.

Lu Yuan’s heart didn’t react much. The strength of the Eight Great Protectors of the Evil Martial Association was not outstanding. If they had actually managed to deliver a Legendary Level treasure to him without issue, he might have been genuinely surprised. Anyway, he had been prepared to make a trip here. This was still within his original plan.

On the way, Guard Ying had already given him a general idea of the situation here.

Now, it was time for him to understand the specifics.

"We’ve been hunted like homeless curs, forced to hide here... We can only inconvenience you, Emperor..."

The hut was bare, without even a chair to sit on.

The pale man wrapped in bandages was Guardian Zhu, one of the Eight Great Protectors. His wounds were still oozing blood, indicating his injuries were quite severe.

He ostensibly said they couldn’t find a place for Lu Yuan to sit, so Lu Yuan would have to stand.

In reality, the emphasis of his sentence was on the first half, his words laced with hidden resentment.

"No matter."

Lu Yuan didn’t mind.

Guardian Zhu and his group had been forcibly subjugated by his might. They hadn’t gained any benefit from him, and now they were injured because of his task. It was normal for them to harbor some resentment. The main reason might still be... that the overwhelmingly dominant image he held in their hearts had faded over time. Or rather... a stronger, more terrifying existence... had replaced his original position in their minds. They began to feel that he was not as invincible and unconquerable as they had once believed.

Lu Yuan thought idly, his gaze sweeping towards the silent Guardian Lei nearby.

Through the sunglasses Guardian Lei wore, Lu Yuan saw an empty eye socket, freshly scabbed over.
