Black light columns shot into the skies . They were all a dozen meters thick, and gouged huge pits in the ground .
Lu Sheng's black blade exploded into countless shards of Devil Qi in his hands . With that attack, even this black Devil Qi blade which he forged when he entered this realm could not withstand it .
The black light columns persisted for 15 minutes before subsiding gradually .
When the light columns vanished, the entire Weapon World shattered with loud crashes . The dimension morphed into countless fine shards, which exploded with a flurry before dissipating in the air .
With that, Lu Sheng unleashed black Devil Qi, and returned to his humanoid main body .
He calmed down . Wherever he looked, he saw scenes of carnage and destruction . Before this, he had been standing in a yellow, barren plain . It was now reduced to broken hills .
"So, that was his clone after all . It's just a clone, yet it was capable of unleashing the Weapon World . The First Sacred King has moved unhindered in Great Yin for so many years, he's quite the remarkable fellow . "
"Dad!"
From a nearby pit, Lu Ning flew toward Lu Sheng while tears and snot streaked his face .
Lu Sheng caught Lu Ning in his embrace .
"Are you hurt? Let me see!"
"No… I'm fine, but my master… He's…" Lu Ning's tears started to flow uncontrollably .
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes . He had come here to rescue his son . The moment he accomplished that, he had already noticed the old man whose spirit had seven colors .
His aura was completely different from the spirit auras of Great Yin . It had a peculiar, gentle, and neutral undulation .
"Your master?" he asked . "Since when have you got a master?"
Lu Ning's chest tightened . He lowered his head, feeling slightly scared . However, he quickly lifted his head again . His teacher was in grave danger . If he wasted precious time that could have been used to treat his teacher just because he was afraid of being punished by his father, he would never forgive himself .
He steeled his resolve and told Lu Sheng everything, about how he learned the mysterious cultivation method and how he accidentally activated Chang Qingzi's spirit .
"Chang Qingzi?" Lu Sheng mumbled to himself . "Let's not be rash . Let me check . "
He spread his spirit and scanned dozens of kilometers around himself . He quickly focused his attention on three spots .
The first spot was the location where the First Sacred King's clone died, which was also where the Weapon World shattered . It was now a huge pit a hundred meters deep . There was nothing inside it . The crumbling of the Weapon World seemed to have brought everything else with it, leaving a huge pit behind .
Lu Sheng scanned the area a dozen times, but could not find any spoils . He felt that it was a pity .
Then, he found the blue-eyed man and the black-winged man who were pulled into his Heart Devil World .
The two of them lay on the ground with listless eyes . Their spirits had clearly been sucked out of them in the Heart Devil World, destroyed, and died . Only empty shells of their bodies were left .
Lu Sheng waved an arm and carried Lu Ning . He floated over to retrieve the two bodies . It was only now that he saw the cluster of colored lights left behind by the so-called Chang Qingzi .
From Lu Ning's description, Lu Sheng had a good impression regarding this Chang Qingzi . Although these problems had arisen because of him, he was a responsible person . He had risked his life to protect Lu Ning, which showed that he had a good moral character .
Lu Sheng did a quick check on him . All he needed to do was to give him some incense medicine that aided in spirit recuperation . Chang Qingzi was not in a grave situation .
"Don't worry, your master is fine . However, since I've found out, I'll have to carefully test whether this so-called master of yours is actually fit to be your teacher," Lu Sheng said with a light chuckle .
"I want him to be my master!" Lu Ning shouted .
"You won't be making the decision . " Lu Sheng swung his arm and released some Devil Qi which enveloped the colorful cluster of light .
"Alright, let's head back . I should be dealing with some other business back there . " Lu Sheng lifted his head and looked in the direction of the Nine Bright Province far away .
He felt that there was a need to inform Li Shunxi about him turning against the First Sacred King . The entity that fought with him should be the core spirit he left within the Light Nation with charred earth, just like his own body within his Heart Devil World .
If one wanted to break through the Weapon World, the surest way would be to find a loophole . The loophole would not be some dead object . Instead, it would usually be some extremely dangerous being left behind by the Weapon Grandmaster .
If one was not powerful enough, one would surely die .
After settling Lu Ning's disappearance, Lu Sheng planned to bring them all back to the Devil Palace . The Nine Yin Devils finally noticed something was amiss . They detected huge armies that did not originate from the Nine Bright Province mounting an invasion .
After Lu Sheng learned of this news, he decided to let one of the Yin Devils under his charge, the Ox of Pain, personally see to the matter .
After the First Sacred King's clone lost, the great army of the Three Sacred Gates quickly assumed formations and engaged the Yin Devils .
Lu Sheng's Nine Yin Devils were all colossal . The most shocking among them was the Ox of Pain . The contour of its strong muscles alone was a telltale sign of just how powerful the Yin Devils were .
The Arts used by the Three Sacred Gates' army landed true on the Ox of Pain's body . However, it did not even show any reaction .
The huge trees' army fought with the black ox for a while . Even after learning that the blue-eyed man and the others were killed, the tree army did not show any signs of retreat . Instead, they increased their numbers .
The huge army flooded into the Nine Bright Province from its borders . The army was already halfway through the border, and it was increasing in size .
After taking a rough measure of their numbers, Lu Sheng dispatched the Nine Yin Devils to guard the border and prevent the First Sacred Gate's army from coming in .
He brought Lu Ning and Chang Qingzi back to the Prime Devil Sect .
The zone where he fought bravely with the First Sacred King's clone was a relatively barren area of the Nine Bright Province . It was apparent that the First Sacred King had considered the possibility of harming the innocent people . Hence, he purposely picked a zone with a wide area .
Unfortunately, he still lost to Lu Sheng in the end .
. . . . .
Three Sacred Gates . In a mysterious cave .
A milk-colored shape of a dragon moved its tail sideways as it swam slowly in the deep lake within the cave . The dragon shape was a hundred meters long and a dozen meters thick . Through the water, six horns could vaguely be seen on its head .
An emaciated old man with a blue-feathered cloak floated on the surface of the lake .
There were two vertical blood-red scars between the old man's brows, extending from his nose ridge into his hair . It was as if his head had been cut open before, and these scars were the proof thereof .
"Prime Devil Sect… Lu Sheng . " After mumbling to himself and heaving a long sigh, he slowly opened his eyes .
"I didn't expect there to be another addition to our ranks . "
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the sudden appearance of this Lu Sheng in the Nine Bright Province will be a hindrance to our grand scheme . "
Several middle-aged men and women in black armor stood on the banks of the lake . One of the men stroked his long beard and mumbled, "I'm just wondering if His Majesty is able to end things quickly with the Prime Devil Sect's sect master . "
The First Sacred King sat upright on the surface of the lake . He shook his head slightly .
"The battle of Weapon Worlds contains immense risk . Anyone below the tier of a Weapon Grandmaster is like an insignificant worm . No matter how huge the numbers are, they'd be instantly sucked into the Weapon World and just add to the death toll . That's the fundamental reason why I haven't given an official order to attack the Nine Bright Province . "
"You are right, Your Majesty . If that Lu Sheng worked together with Aurora Polaris, the Nine Bright Province would've most probably turn into a flesh-grinding field . No army would be big enough to fill it," a middle-aged woman agreed .
"So, what do you suggest we do?" the middle-aged man just now said with a frown .
"What should we do? The only thing we can do is to work together with the other Sacred Gates . Our First Sacred Gate isn't powerful enough," the woman said slowly as she shook her head .
"From what I know, the Prime Devil Sect has a very tight relationship with the Third Sacred Gate . Since our actions conflicted with Lu Sheng, I'm worried that the Third Sacred Gate would be unhappy…" the man reminded .
"At the end of the day, the Nine Bright Province's strength has exceeded our expectations . Rather than being stubborn, why don't we switch targets?" one of them suddenly spoke . When this opinion was given, everyone there immediately considered the proposal .
The First Sacred King's expression remained unchanged . He sat upright on the lake's surface without saying a word .
The others discussed among themselves for a while before looking at the Sacred King again .
"We've heard that you've sent a clone to the Nine Bright Province before this, Your Majesty . Perhaps your clone may be used to suppress the entire situation," said one of them bluntly .
The First Sacred King's expression remained unchanged . When he remembered his clone which had died tragically, his heart twitched .
"My clone has some other matter to attend to . It's not easy for him to move right now . "
"Is that so? That's a pity . If Your Majesty was able to send a clone to the field, the Nine Bright Province wouldn't be in such a stalemate . " The proposer of the idea felt that it was a waste .
"That's right . As another Weapon Grandmaster, with His Majesty's power, a mere new Weapon Grandmaster will be easy to nab . " Another man nodded and agreed .
The upper echelons of the Sacred Gate immediately looked at the First Sacred King who was sitting upright .
For a long while, the Sacred King remained expressionless . However, what he felt internally was helplessness and awkwardness .
He had secretly sent out his clone to aid the blue-eyed man and the others . He had done so to deal with the greatest threat in the Nine Bright Province, the Prime Devil Sect . However, he had not expected to be defeated by Lu Sheng . His clone had been destroyed, and now the battle was in a stalemate .
He still could not understand how his clone was destroyed . Even if Lu Sheng ranked up to a Weapon Grandmaster, he should only be at the ordinary level .
Even though his clone only had a third of his main body's strength, it should not have lost so easily .
After muttering to himself for a while, he slowly said, "Since the situation is unclear, we should spend a few days observing . It'd be too rash of a decision to switch targets . There's no need for that now . "
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
The others lowered their heads and bowed respectfully toward him .
*****************
Nine Bright Province . Autumn Moon County .
In the garden behind the Devil Palace, Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on the cushion in the pavilion . A seven-colored silhouette of a man sat cross-legged opposite him . The figure had white hair and a haggard build . He was Lu Ning's so-called teacher, Chang Qingzi .
"May I know where you've come from, Brother Chang Qingzi? Why have you come to the Nine Bright Province?" Lu Sheng posed the question directly . "I was never a person to beat around the bush . I like to be direct . "
Chang Qingzi smiled wryly . He had initially thought that he found a good student and could help him grow along the way, eventually restoring himself to his former glory . However, he had not expected his student's father to be this much powerful compared to himself .
"You're a straightforward person, Sect Master Lu . " Chang QIngzi shook his head slightly . "To tell you the truth, I'm from another planet . I'm not from this Yellow Springs Planet . However, I was pulled to this place against my will due to an accident . "
"Against your will?"
"That's right," Chang Qingzi responded with a nod . "Sect Master Lu, have you heard of the Black Measure Web?"
"Black Measure Web?" Lu Sheng was perplexed . "What's that? I've never heard of it . "
Chang Qingzi stroked his long beard . "The Black Measure Web is a protective barrier put in place by the master of the Yellow Springs Planet, the Mother of Pain . It has the special ability to filter out harmful substances and attract foreign materials . To tell you the truth, my cultivation method is special, and the Black Measure Web has accidentally recognized it as something beneficial . Hence, I was suddenly pulled into this land . "
"Mother of Pain, huh?" Lu Sheng's heart went cold for a second . Although this Chang Qingzi was not overly powerful, he had seen far more things than anyone in Great Yin . It was clear that he originated from an alien civilization that was more open .
