Divine Oracle Cave Heaven, Level Twelve.
Outside Inverted Sky.
Amidst the stretching strange peaks in the desolate plains.
Luo Xiu halted before the cliff, raising his head to look at the group of war soldiers arriving on the clouds in the sky, and then swept his gaze across the beast pack surrounding him from all sides.
In the distance.
Luo Qingxian and the other women looked at that patch of clouds, faces full of worry.
Xu Qianqing asked, "Luo Xiu alone, should he be alright?"
Zhang Yi's face was full of pride, "Understand the battle of Sky Divine City?"
Su Shanyue glanced towards Dou Dou who was digging the soil with a hoe on the other side, saying, "Shall we go treasure hunting with Dou Dou?"
Luo Qingxian nodded, turning around to walk towards Dou Dou, saying, "This place is full of supernatural crystals, they can't be wasted, His Majesty will call us once the battle is over."
"..."
...
Amid the silence.
Luo Xiu spoke, "You are bound by duty, I understand, so I only kill those who block my path."
In the sky.
On that seemingly tangible cloud, fifty-six thousand war soldiers stared at Luo Xiu on the ground, each trembling in fear, cold sweat pouring!
His sheer presence alone crushed thousands of soldiers and beasts, ignoring the mighty steel army!
"Ao Debiao, do not act recklessly!"
The leading war general suddenly shouted, as if trying to gather courage for himself.
"This is the sacred ground of Inverted Sky, turn back now, and I'll pretend you never came!"
Luo Xiu lightly shook his head.
Seeing Luo Xiu rejecting so casually, the war general felt a chill in his heart, but he did not fear, nor had any intention to retreat.
"Then we shall fight to the last moment!"
At this moment, Luo Xiu felt a bit helpless.
Though not kind-hearted, there were after all tens of thousands in front of him.
Suddenly he asked, "Even if hell lies ahead?"
The war general waved the war spear in his hand resolutely, "Fight to the death without retreat!"
Luo Xiu said no more, raised his right leg, slammed it to the ground fiercely.
"Boomββ!"
Instantly, the earth quaked, the ground cracked, and mountains crumbled!
Though the Cave Heavens Laws restricted his cultivation strength, they could not restrict the power of his physical body.
In the violent tremor, countless strange peaks exploded into fragments, seemingly losing gravity, leaping into the sky like peas jumping in a winnowing basket.
The beast pack surrounding him panicked and fled, those moving slower directly burst into flesh, their corpses flying into the sky with the exploded peak boulders, like drops of bright red ink painting a hellish canvas.
"Luo Tian's Control over Xuanzhong."
"Three moves."
"Heaven Opening Fist!"
With Luo Xiu's punch, myriad strange peaks and giant stones, bearing the corpses of fierce beasts, fell from the sky like an inverted rainstorm, falling upon that cloud.
Much time passed.
Luo Xiu's punch dispersed fifty-six thousand soldiers, treading upon battered corpses, pressing straight forward with the six fairies.
The dense blood mist in the sky hadn't dissipated, occasionally pieces of corpse still fell with the blood rain.
Luo Qingxian held an oiled paper umbrella with inked lotus flowers, quietly following behind Luo Xiu.
Zhang Yi, Xu Qianqing, and Su Shanyue looked around at the horrific hellish scene, faces pale, not daring to utter a word.
Though they had faced hell during Lu Nianjiao's special training, even fought whilst drenched in blood, the sight now still inevitably brought fear.
Dou Dou and Tu Tu seemed carefree, at this moment bustling within Corpse Mountain, seeking undamaged Storage Magical Treasures to stuff into their bags.
"We've struck it rich!"
"Now we're going to be rich!"
"Tu Tu, you pick on that side."
"..."
...
Approximately four hours later.
The group of Luo Xiu stopped before a towering giant mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there were majestic buildings where cultivators occasionally flew by.
On the staircase that seemed to lead to Jiuxiao, stood three black-robed old men, hands behind their backs, apparently waiting.
Tu Tu suddenly grabbed Luo Xiu's thigh, saying, "Elephant Trunk, Tu Tu remembers them, they're the three gatekeepers, the High Priest used to fight them!"
Hearing this, Luo Xiu smiled, saying, "Since I cannot walk the path An Ran once did, I'll fight the gatekeepers she once fought."
"So you are the notorious demon, Ao Debiao?"
Suddenly, an old voice came from ahead.
Simultaneously, a black-robed old man seemed to teleport before Luo Xiu, scrutinizing him with a faint smile.
Suddenly said, "Ao Debiao, the door to Inverted Sky remains closed, please return."
"If you wish to explore the Secret Realm of Inverted Sky, participate in the next 'Hundred Battles No Life', only the top ten earn a spot to enter Inverted Sky."
Luo Xiu showed a polite smile, "I believe there's a misunderstanding, Senior, I'm not here to explore Inverted Sky but to find someone."
"Who?"
"Aobangma."
Upon hearing, the elder frowned, silent for a moment before speaking, "Please return, I'll not make things difficult for you."
Luo Xiu asked, "So there's no room for negotiation?"
At this time, two more elders flashed over, one of them said, "If this child is not eliminated, he'll be a major threat in the future!"
Luo Xiu calmly said, "Apologies, I have already become that threat."
At this, Tu Tu poked her little head out from behind Luo Xiu, her tiny hands holding Luo Xiu's thigh, saying to the three elders, "Since you're disrespectful, let's fight!"
Luo Xiu glanced at Tu Tu helplessly, "Why do you always cling to my leg?"
Tu Tu said, "Because before leaving, the High Priest said our clan must hold tight to the Elephant Trunk's leg."
Hearing this, Luo Xiu's mouth twitched, "You're quite straightforward. What she meant by clinging to the leg was metaphorical, not literally clinging."
Tu Tu seemed not to hear him, staring sharply at the three old men, saying, "Tu Tu and Her Majesty the Queen will handle the one on the left."
Luo Qingxian stepped forward, saying to Luo Xiu, "Then Xian'er will fight the one on the right with Xiao Yi and the others."
Luo Xiu said, "Then I can only take the one in the middle."
Seeing these youngsters assigning tasks in front of them, the three elders laughed out of intense anger.
Arrogant, extremely arrogant!
"Ignorant young ones, awaiting you is a path of death!"
"..."
In an instant.
Amid the shattered earth, full of scars and rolling dust.
Luo Qingxian wiped the blood from her mouth, assisting alongside Zhang Yi to lean Xu Qianqing and Su Shanyue, trembling as they walked towards Luo Xiu.
Dou Dou and Tu Tu hurriedly flew to greet them.
Dou Dou said, "You all are really slow."
Zhang Yi was amused and said confidently, "We, with one White Emperor and three Profound Emperors, could take down a Venerable One, that achievement is impressive, isn't it?"
Xu Qianqing nodded, "Indeed!"
Su Shanyue wore a bitter smile, "I mean... we three seemed to just provide support, it was Xian'er exerting the effort."
Zhang Yi suddenly looked at Dou Dou, "And Dou Dou is also a support! Don't think I didn't notice, Tu Tu did all the fighting, while you collected treasures, hardly contributing!"
"Cough, cough..."
Suddenly, a painful cough sounded from the side.
The women followed the sound to see the elder Luo Xiu was stepping on open his eyes.
That elder coughed blood, laughing softly, "Worthy of being Ao Debiao, who alone fought six hundred emperors, it's a shame, truly a shame!"
Luo Xiu asked, "What's a shame?"
The elder's gaze turned fierce, glaring at Luo Xiu, "You've alerted him! If he acts, your death is near."
Luo Xiu moved the foot stepping on the elder's chest, refraining from a killing blow, stepping forward.
"I'll meet the one you speak of."
"..."
