Chapter 109: Chapter 86: When I Ride the Wind Out of Penglai, Majestic Sword Qi Will Fill the Nine Heavens

[Dragon Transformation Sword Intent: Entering the Dao (Cannot be upgraded)]

[Effect: Enter the Dao through the sword, condense the Flood Dragon True Intent, and transform into a dragon upon meeting the storm. It accumulates momentum like a deep abyss; a Flood Dragon emerges when the sword is drawn.]

Dragon Transformation Sword Intent was the brand-new Sword Intent Skill Lu Chen acquired after elevating Water Dragon Roar to the Dao Entry Level. Although the description for this new Sword Intent was brief, Lu Chen knew exactly how terrifying its effect was.

If the previous Water Dragon Roar merely fell under the category of a "Skill," the current Dragon Transformation Sword Intent had already reached the realm of the "Dao."

Even though Lu Chen had barely caught a glimpse of the Dao’s traces, that fleeting trace alone made him profoundly realize his own insignificance in the face of the Dao’s vastness. If he had to describe it, it felt like someone who had never seen the ocean suddenly arriving at the beach for the very first time. The Dao was like a boundless, sprawling sea, and Lu Chen could not see its end.

Inside the empty presidential suite, Lu Chen sat quietly alone by the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring blankly at the scenery outside.

He mused, "A mayfly between heaven and earth, a mere speck in the vast ocean... Can a mayfly like me truly reach the Other Shore?"

Lu Chen did not know how long he had sat in the room. He only knew that when Mu Xiaoye and Shen Feiyang left, the scorching midday sun had been hanging high in the sky. Now, the sun had sunk beneath the western horizon, painting the sky in a vibrant twilight glow.

Things were developing exactly as he had planned. Large swaths of Evil Objects had swarmed out of their nests in full force. Led by a few Foundation Establishment Evil Objects, they marched massively in two different directions. The sheer commotion they caused finally snapped Lu Chen out of his dazed bewilderment.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and walked right up to the massive floor-to-ceiling window. Gazing at the distant black tree that symbolized the Evil Objects’ lair, his eyes gradually filled with unwavering resolve.

He placed his hand against the glass, letting his palm completely block out the image of the black tree.

SHATTER!

Lu Chen completely obliterated the floor-to-ceiling window with a single palm strike. The howling wind from outside swept past his face, carrying shards of broken glass, and his black clothes rustled wildly in the gale.

It was as if Lu Chen could not feel any of it. He walked straight to the edge of the building, which now opened up like a sheer abyss. His face remained expressionless as he murmured, "Whether or not I can reach the Other Shore doesn’t matter. What matters is having the courage to take the first step.

"When I ride the winds out from Penglai, my soaring Sword Qi will sweep across the Nine Heavens.

"Since Luocheng has never produced an Immortal... then let me be the first Immortal of Luocheng."

With those words, Lu Chen stepped right off the ledge, his body plummeting rapidly through the high altitude. Just halfway down his descent, he abruptly spun around and viciously stomped his foot against the building’s glass behind him.

CRASH!

The immense force of the kick instantly sent countless spiderweb fractures running across the building’s facade. Using the resulting recoil, he launched himself toward the distant black tree at a staggering speed.

Many Evil Objects wandering on the ground heard the commotion and looked up at the sky. But before they could react, Lu Chen, who was treading upon the very air, had already whistled over their heads and vanished from sight.

[Flowing Cloud Step: Breaking Realm (Cannot be upgraded)]

[Effect: Body like flowing clouds, capable of walking on air.]

Meanwhile, the Gold-devouring Ant-man, who had been sitting quietly on the Nine Nether Tree, sensed something and abruptly opened his eyes to look in a specific direction. In his line of sight, a tiny black dot drew closer from the distance, slowly expanding. Once he clearly saw that the black dot was a Human Race Cultivator treading through the air, the Gold-devouring Ant-man immediately stood up on the tree trunk.

"Giant Force..."

"Your subordinate is here."

"Come with me to properly entertain our esteemed guest."

"Yes."

The Giant Force Horned Insect hoisted his massive Black Blade onto his shoulder and followed the Gold-devouring Ant-man out of the tree canopy. Even if they were enemies, true experts deserved to be treated with proper respect. This was the Nine Nether, a cruel place where everything deferred to absolute Power—even when dealing with foes.

On a pedestrian street in the West City District.

"Boss, we can’t hold on much longer!" a Third High School student, drenched in sweat as he looked at the ever-multiplying Evil Objects surrounding them, shouted toward Mu Xiaoye, who was engaged in a fierce battle in the distance.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoye simply could not respond. She was almost single-handedly bearing ninety percent of the pressure from the Evil Objects on the pedestrian street. Only a sporadic few that managed to slip past her fists rushed toward the underlings behind her, posing a threat to them.

But even so, out of the six followers who had come out with her, only a mere two were left. Just as Mu Xiaoye killed a Nine Nether Evil Object with a single punch and tried to give a brief reply, her last two underlings were completely submerged beneath the tide of monsters. They had clearly been eliminated.

As a result, Mu Xiaoye was left entirely alone on the expansive pedestrian street. To this, she was not all that surprised. After all, considering her followers generally only possessed Cultivation at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Cultivation, the fact that they had lasted this long was already quite shocking to her. Not everyone was like her, possessing the overbearing Crimson Phoenix Tribulation that allowed her to continuously restore physical and Spiritual Power amid chaotic battles.

"Human Race Cultivator, are you the one who killed Black Armor?"

Mu Xiaoye kicked away a Nine Nether Evil Object right in front of her and looked up toward the source of the voice. Two Foundation Establishment Evil Objects had appeared above her at some point. Seeing that her actions had finally managed to attract two Foundation Establishment Evil Objects, Mu Xiaoye smiled.
