Chapter 283 – You Are All Just Resources! One Per Person, Plus a Lifetime VIP Card for the Sutra Pavilion!

Lu Yuan swung his arms to the sides as if they were elephant trunks.

However, his palms were spread open, fingers together, forming a monument-like shape.

This was the “Divine Elephant Crushing Monument”!

Lu Yuan’s intelligence points were close to 30, with an almost supernatural level of comprehension.

After sparring with Xu Weiguo, he opened the gate, the valve, for advancing to the Grandmaster stage.

He entered a subtle, indescribable state.

Many pure martial arts domain skills were easily grasped by him after just a glance. With a few rounds of practice, he could effortlessly learn their essence.

“Divine Elephant Crushing Monument” was a killing technique he developed, incorporating the essence of Protector Rou’s “Great Monument Crushing Hand” from the Evil Martial Alliance into his own “Divine Elephant Style” system.

The “Great Monument Crushing Hand” was a technique focused on overwhelming power, emphasizing a fierce palm power that made each strike feel like a thousand-pound ancient monument crashing to the ground, unstoppable.

The “Great Monument Crushing Hand” meshed perfectly with the immense physical strength Legacy of Protector Rou from the Voracious Deity Sect.

Similarly, the “Divine Elephant Style,” created by Lu Yuan and centered on power, was equally well-suited.

In some ways, this directly elevated the martial arts stage to a level far surpassing the original.

“Whoosh-“

In the instant Lu Yuan struck, the 50-meter-tall phantom of the elephant deity behind him mirrored his actions.

The double-headed, four-armed elephant man extended its four arms downward.

Four elephant hooves compressed the air, solidifying a vast area of terrifying pressure.

Dark golden martial deity strength flowed through Lu Yuan’s palms, much like the inscriptions glowing on an ancient monument.

Before his palms even landed, the surrounding platform began to crack and crumble extensively.

The besieging grandmasters’ expressions changed dramatically as they fled, while those unfortunate enough to be directly under the terrifying force of the two palm strikes were horrified to find that they couldn’t even move to dodge.

They could only fully activate their Grandmaster Field and Qi Protective Shield, vainly hoping to withstand the two palm strikes.

Then they saw…

“Boom!”

A massive explosion.

The phantom of the double-headed, four-armed elephant man pressed down its four hooves, making the entire platform quake violently.

The Grandmaster Fields and Qi Protective Shields of the grandmasters under the elephant hooves were like bubbles, popping in less than half a second.

When the four-armed elephant man raised its arms, there were only a few human-shaped craters left below, with some grandmasters twitching or coughing up blood inside them.

“What… what kind of True Intent is this? How can it be this large?” A middle-aged grandmaster who had narrowly avoided the “Divine Elephant Crushing Monument” looked at the four-armed elephant man above Lu Yuan and asked in shock.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan turned his head and looked at him.

With a slight smile, he casually said, “Large? It used to be even larger.”

After saying this, he nonchalantly struck out with his palm, and the four-armed elephant man mirrored him.

The overwhelming aura stirred the air, and the dark golden martial deity strength flowed.

An immense and astounding palm power formed, causing the man to scream and dodge.

The overwhelming pressure created by the combined attack of dozens of grandmasters was shattered and dispersed by Lu Yuan with a single move.

Many faces changed, and people hesitated to move forward.

Although the rewards were tempting, the martial prowess of The Contemporary Evil Emperor from the Evil Martial Alliance was terrifyingly strong. Although he wasn’t a grandmaster, the power of each of his moves was so overwhelming that it deterred these grandmasters from challenging him.

With several victims already lying before them, they all started to hesitate.

Lu Yuan, however, didn’t care.

Seeing no one daring to approach, he took the initiative to charge into the crowd.

His extraordinary martial arts were taking shape, and his unprecedented pure martial arts system was being established, with the Grandmaster Realm within reach.

His original True Intent was as high as two hundred meters but had now compressed and refined to just fifty meters.

He was only fifty meters away from fully integrating it with his physical body.

With just a few more instances of such pressure, he might suddenly break through to the Grandmaster Realm.

Why stop now?

“What Penglai Grandmasters, what sacred martial arts lands… None of you can even put up a fight, just a bunch of worthless creatures! Trash like this dare to call themselves grandmasters?” Lu Yuan mocked aloud, his two-meter-tall figure carried the momentum of an ancient giant elephant as he charged into the crowd, throwing a punch at the nearest grandmaster.

However, the latter dodged swiftly.

His punch landed in empty space, creating a distorted, invisible shockwave in the air that hit the man from a distance.

But it was blocked by the man’s Grandmaster Field and Qi Protective Shield, merely causing his face to flush slightly without any significant harm.

Lu Yuan looked around, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, which parted slightly in response.

He saw each Grandmaster, some expressionless, others with grim faces, staring at him, but none showed any intention of making a move.

Clearly, his earlier mocking remarks hadn’t provoked them into action.

It made sense; those who had reached the level of Grandmaster were mostly in their seventies or eighties, possessing deep wells of strategy and composure.

Thinking they would rush to fight him based on a few taunts was unrealistic.

“He is at his peak right now. Let’s wear down his momentum and wait for a better opportunity. Charging in now would be unwise.”

Lu Yuan had exceptional hearing and caught the whispered discussions from the outer edges of the crowd.

It was apparent that many had come to a consensus on this approach, with the Grandmasters deliberately avoiding direct confrontation with him.

This was a tactical move on their part.

Lu Yuan frowned, considering how to provoke the mass assault he desired.

At this moment, the high-pitched voice that had spoken twice before suddenly rang out again.

“The Five Elders have ordered!”

“Whoever takes his head within the time it takes for a cup of tea to brew will be rewarded with a Great Longevity Pill and three sessions of enlightenment in the Sutra Pavilion!”

As the voice faded, the expressions of the Grandmasters on the platform changed dramatically, their faces showing hesitation and conflict.

Lu Yuan was initially stunned, then delighted.

Of course, to The Five Elders of Penglai, their reputation was clearly more important than the casualties among their Grandmasters.

The longer this dragged on, the harsher the blow to Penglai’s prestige. The Five Elders would definitely not let him continue this rampage.

“Excellent, excellent!”

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh loudly, aligning his voice with the high-pitched announcement, “The Five Elders are truly magnanimous. I can’t be stingy either.”

“Whoever takes my head, I’ll personally reward with a Great Longevity Pill. No, not just one! Everyone who makes a move gets one! Plus, a lifetime VIP card for the Sutra Pavilion!”

When Lu Yuan finished speaking, a somewhat dim-witted Grandmaster, who didn’t quite grasp the situation, asked in a dazed manner, “Really?”

Lu Yuan suddenly appeared in front of him, winking mockingly as he reached out to grab him. “Of course, I’m just teasing you, fool.”

“Boom!”

The dark golden “elephant hoof” tore through the air with a thunderous roar, shattering the unsuspecting Grandmaster’s Field, crushing his Protective Shield, and sending him flying.

With the “divine assist” from The Five Elders of Penglai, the Grandmasters’ “evasive tactics” were swiftly abandoned. One by one, they gritted their teeth and launched another assault on him.

“Plum Blossom Hand!”

An elderly Grandmaster, with fingers moving like dancing flowers, unleashed a flurry of Qi-laden finger techniques aimed at Lu Yuan’s throat and eyes.

Lu Yuan’s eyes sparkled, reflecting the opponent’s dazzling moves.

In his mind, countless inspirations wove together like threads.

“Clink Clank-“

The old Grandmaster’s fingers struck Lu Yuan’s body, eliciting ripples of dark golden waves.

Before he could marvel at Lu Yuan’s incredible physical defense, Lu Yuan’s hand had already spread wide, unleashing an equally dazzling array of finger techniques.

In the air, dark golden streaks created a mesmerizing spectacle.

“Divine Elephant Plucks the Plum Blossom!”

With a large palm, Lu Yuan shattered the old Grandmaster’s Field and Protective Shield, sending him flying like a ragdoll.

Having just dealt with one old Grandmaster, Lu Yuan turned to confront another.

A low, terrifying whistle sounded beside him.

Turning his head, he seemed to see a giant log hurtling towards his face.

Shaking his head to clear his vision, the illusion vanished, revealing a Grandmaster with a cold expression throwing a punch.

“Battering Ram!”

This boxing technique mimicked the terrifying force of an ancient battering ram crashing through a city gate.

Lu Yuan’s eyes lit up, sensing an innate compatibility between this killing move and his own Divine Elephant Style martial arts.

“Boom-Boom Boom-“

Receiving direct hits from four or five Grandmasters at once, dark golden ripples surged wildly from his body, causing the fifty-meter-tall four-armed elephant man phantom above his head to waver.

However, ignoring the hits, he lifted his arms and laughed heartily.

“Divine Elephant Battering Ram!”

The dark golden “elephant hoof” collided with astounding force, appearing even thicker in the moment the punches were thrown.

The Grandmasters facing him seemed to see a dark golden giant log, tens of meters in diameter, crashing down from the sky with a deafening roar.

“Boom-“

The terrifying momentum cleaved through the crowd on either side. Several Grandmasters who had closed in on Lu Yuan’s flanks were hit as if by a multi-ton truck, spitting blood as they were flung away.

But before Lu Yuan could catch his breath, even more Grandmasters surged forward.

This battle had now reached a fever pitch. Driven by the repeated urgings of The Five Elders of Penglai, each Grandmaster was ignited with fury, their eyes bloodshot in a relentless attempt to wear him down, to exhaust him.

Yet, this was precisely what Lu Yuan desired.

The greater the pressure, the louder the sound of his Five Viscera resonating, the faster his blood and Qi circulated, and the quicker his mental power transformed.

His limbs and bones continually generated fresh blood and Qi, his Strength replenished endlessly, while his brain worked faster and faster, inspiration spurting forth.

He was like a mirror, which the more it was polished, the brighter it became, until its brilliance outshone even the sun.

The double-headed four-armed elephant man phantom above his head compressed and shrank, but the aura around Lu Yuan grew ever more potent, ascending like a giant plume of smoke that seemed to engulf the entire platform.

His Strength and speed increased with every passing moment.

The Grandmasters surrounding and attacking him were also increasingly desperate, each unleashing their ultimate techniques and killing moves from the bottoms of their arsenals.

Countless moves and illusions flashed before Lu Yuan’s eyes, all of which he seamlessly integrated into his own martial arts system.

The more Lu Yuan fought, the more exhilarated he became, his blood surging, his momentum like a tsunami.

His arms swung like chariot wheels, blocking one Grandmaster after another while he laughed heartily.

“Good! Good! Good!”

“You are all valuable resources for my path to ultimate greatness!”

“When I surpass the Grandmaster level, each and every one of you will be rewarded, handsomely rewarded!”

“Divine Elephant Style: Taming Ten Tigers!”

With a low shout, Lu Yuan unleashed a powerful aura, transforming it into ten enormous tigers that charged in all directions, forcing the surrounding Grandmasters to retreat.

Among them, one person looked utterly shocked and blurted out, “What is your relationship with Xu Weiguo from the Tiger Taming Style?”

Lu Yuan grinned.

“Take a guess?”

With that, he sent the questioner flying with a single palm strike.

Suddenly, the sounds of rushing water, crane cries, and snake hisses filled the air.

Lu Yuan swiftly turned his head, raising both hands just in time to intercept a claw and a punch with remarkable precision.

For a brief moment, an illusion of intertwined snakes and cranes flashed before his eyes.

As he focused, he realized he had seized a middle-aged man with black hair, who looked utterly horrified.

Lu Yuan’s eyes sparkled with recognition.

“Cai Huazhang from the Snake Sect?”

“I almost forgot about you.”

With a powerful shake of his arms, Lu Yuan caused the middle-aged man to tremble and go limp from the sheer force.

He swung Cai Huazhang around, turning to face the area below the platform.

Fixing his gaze on a figure that had been standing silently for a long time, he laughed loudly and shouted, “Old Liu! Your opponent is here! Catch!”

Finishing his words, Lu Yuan exerted his Strength and hurled the middle-aged man forcefully downward.

“Divine Elephant Ball Toss!”

Like a cannonball, the middle-aged man with black hair was flung by Lu Yuan, crashing into the ground below with a resounding “boom,” creating a massive crater.

Standing at the edge of the crater was Liu Daoyuan, who looked mildly dazed.

At that moment, everyone in the enormous white square-members of various sects and onlookers alike-froze in astonishment.

The entire square fell silent, and the only sound audible was the collective gulping of many throats.
