Chapter 1244: The Third Sovereign's Painful Reflection, Why Am I So Useless!!!

To put it simply, activating the Fallen Sun Setting Sun Transformation would push apart the clouds and mist to reveal the galaxy's stars, ignite them, and transform them into Lu Ding's power. Resplendent, supreme, terrifying. Lu Ding wouldn't even need to lift a finger. The power of falling stars would simply radiate outward from his body in all directions.

Naturally, it would proclaim Lu Ding's terror to the entire world.

No holding back, no subtlety. Simple and direct.

And it could grow alongside its user.

In terms of classification, it stood between Divine Abilities and spells.

It lacked the mechanisms of many Divine Abilities, but its raw values surpassed spells by an incomprehensible margin.

The reason Divine Abilities were called Divine Abilities was because they possessed mechanisms on top of their values.

A method capable of connecting to the divine was called a Divine Ability.

And this Fallen Sun Setting Sun Transformation, Lu Ding genuinely didn't know how to explain its existence.

To describe it in one phrase: no technique, just overwhelming force.

The Lü Mountain Ancestral Master had a sun, and Lu Ding himself was a sun.

It was just that the consumption was a bit high.

The energy released by the Fallen Sun Setting Sun Transformation's collapse was terrifying in its per-second expenditure.

Even Lu Ding's vast sea of spiritual energy couldn't hold out for long.

But for the current stage, it was enough.

After all, when he activated this thing, apart from the Ancestral Master and the Ancestral Master's Wife whose strength he didn't know, there was almost no one he had ever met who could last three seconds against him.

No one could handle it.

Not even the Black-Robed Great-Grandmaster.

This also counted as a massive boost for Lu Ding, who needed to use the Way of the Jinche cautiously.

Moreover, even if this thing were reflected back, it would have no effect on Lu Ding. Because it had no mechanisms, purely raw values, the power of collapse reflected back would only strengthen Lu Ding further.

It wouldn't harm him at all.

Thinking of these things, the smile on Lu Ding's face became uncontrollable.

Who could understand his current mood?

He really wanted to throw a three-second map-clearing celebration right here in the Thunder Roar Hall Inheritance space.

If he unleashed the Fallen Sun Setting Sun Transformation, he wouldn't need to search everywhere for monsters.

Blast out a pile of spells and Divine Abilities and slowly pick through them. Use what's usable, cleanse what's cleanseable. Pure enhancement!

Unfortunately.

This place had too many people.

Some were innocent. Some deserved death.

Hard to distinguish.

And Lu Ding wasn't the type who liked slaughtering innocents.

He spoke: "My heart, in the end, still isn't ruthless enough. Well, that's fine too. It just shows I'm still human."

Xiao Mei listened from beside him: "Immortal Master, you're even more of a good person. All Lü Mountain Immortal Masters are good people."

Lu Ding nodded with a smile: "Sweet talker. Let's go, follow me. We'll slay demons and eradicate evil together."

He stepped forward.

His words stirred excitement in Xiao Mei's heart. Slaying demons and eradicating evil...

This was her ideal! Though it was just a slogan, though she couldn't achieve it, now she had switched who she followed. She followed Lu Ding. That slogan would become reality!

How terrifying Lu Ding was, she hadn't seen the full extent yet.

But Lü Mountain's golden reputation said everything!

At the same time.

On the other side.

The Third Sovereign, who had fled, returned to his lair.

Looking at the completely empty cave, he slapped his palm onto the stone table.

His mouth carried the exact same tone as Lu Ding's.

As the stone table shattered into powder.

The Third Sovereign's voice followed: "FUCK!!!!"

This bastard didn't kill Lu Ding. Where was the justice in that?

And it had been a sneak attack!

That was his best opportunity to kill Lu Ding.

The result was failure.

After this, it would probably be very hard to launch another ambush.

And right now, many of his people, even his capable lieutenants, were stuck in Thunder Roar Hall and couldn't get out. The Third Sovereign held no hope for them anymore. They definitely wouldn't make it out.

The thought of it made him furious.

But it wasn't impotent rage directed at Lu Ding!

Instead, in this empty cave dwelling, he cursed himself: "Why am I so useless!!!!!"

Damn, he even self-reflects.

The surging aura he released made the cave tremble, sending chunks of rock falling continuously.

The Third Sovereign's eyes were somewhat bloodshot.

"Since I can't beat you right now, then just you wait, Lu Ding. Once I've cleaned up Gouchen Hall, we'll settle this again!!!"

So the Third Sovereign was brave and unafraid of hardship.

He had plenty of escape methods.

If one attempt couldn't beat Lu Ding, then two, three, ten!!!!

Once he settled his old grudge with Gouchen Hall and grew stronger, surely Lu Ding would still be stuck where he was. After all, Lu Ding had no means of rapid growth.

Thinking this, the Third Sovereign vanished instantly.

He wasn't someone who dawdled.

He directly arrived at another Salvation Alliance base.

Unlike his cave, this Salvation Alliance was situated within a city, controlling a human city, the hidden Uncrowned King.

Boldly exposed in plain sight of the world.

The Third Sovereign arrived without disguising himself.

A thunderous aura descended from the sky.

This caused the vice chairman of this city's Salvation Alliance to rise into the air, aura soaring.

The Salvation Alliance was a massive organization, scattered throughout countless places in Demon Province. The highest leader of each local Salvation Alliance was a vice chairman, and all vice chairmen were directly led by a single chairman.

But the chairman always appeared and vanished like a dragon. Unpredictable.

Openly, no one knew the chairman's true identity.

Secretly, only the Third Sovereign knew.

Though impressive.

In his view, ordinary. Far inferior to the pressure Lu Ding gave off.

Against the chairman, he felt not a shred of fear. Against Lu Ding, he didn't dare act boldly at all.

At that moment, the vice chairman of this local Salvation Alliance, having risen into the sky, looked at the Third Sovereign: "Isn't this Brother Three? What business does Brother Three have coming to visit this little brother?"

The Third Sovereign couldn't be bothered with idle talk. He was in a hurry!!!

He raised his fingers in a sword gesture. Demonic energy surged from his fingertips, condensing into a demonic sword stretchable across clouds, a massive blade far exceeding forty meters, thousands of meters long, and directly swept it across in a horizontal slash.

It annihilated this local Salvation Alliance vice chairman.

One move killed him dead, and his body was absorbed by the Third Sovereign, replenishing the energy he had expended fighting Lu Ding earlier in the Thunder Roar Hall Inheritance space.

The Third Sovereign's voice rang out across the firmament: "From this day forward, this local Salvation Alliance shall belong under my command. Anyone who dares disobey, execution without mercy!"

Don't be fooled by how pathetic he seemed in front of Lu Ding, chased around while being beaten, his sneak attack only managing to hurt the man.

But to everyone else, the Third Sovereign was a pure bug existence combining both mechanisms and raw values.

Setting Lu Ding aside, he was invincible among his peers, invincible within his realm, and crossing ranks was as casual as eating and drinking. Thousands of spells and Divine Abilities moved like extensions of his own arms. These were his reputation and daily reality.

Against anyone, as long as they weren't particularly ancient monsters, the Third Sovereign kicking them was like kicking a random stray dog on the roadside.

With this life where he had prepared thoroughly, he even dared to touch Lü Mountain!

But in front of Lu Ding, he could only be the one getting kicked.

He had never imagined Lu Ding would be so absurdly overpowered, beating him down into a stray dog with its tail between its legs.

But this couldn't shake the Third Sovereign's steadfast cultivation heart. It would only make him, in his reflection, learn from the pain, think deeply on it, and try even harder!!

In the past, he had lived too comfortably.

Now Lu Ding's appearance had given him a motivation called crisis!

Especially upon hearing that Lu Ding was twenty years old and had cultivated for one year.
