You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Dai Viet.

Above the palace.

Emperor Yue stood tall, gazing at the figure blocked outside the imperial city by the array in the distance, his expression extremely solemn.

Even from a great distance, protected by the array, Emperor Yue could still feel the terrifying pressure emanating from that figure.

This person's strength is definitely that of a Venerable in the Reincarnation Realm.

Moreover, he was not just an ordinary Reincarnation Realm cultivator; he was at least a Venerable One who had entered the Seventh Reincarnation Realm.

The Yue Emperor had no idea when his Great Yue had offended such a powerful figure.

It should be noted that a Venerable who has reached the seventh Reincarnation Realm is the pinnacle of existence in any dynasty. Even in the Great Yue Dynasty, the strongest among them is no more than this.

This city-protecting formation cannot stop such a powerful figure.

The moment the Yue Emperor had this thought, the city's protective array shattered with a crack, and the figure took a step forward, instantly arriving above the palace.

"You audacious scoundrel, how dare you attack my Great Yue Imperial City and act so presumptuously in my palace."

Hundreds of figures soared into the air and charged towards this figure.

This is, after all, the royal palace of the Great Yue, guarded by numerous powerful experts.

To everyone's astonishment, these hundreds of experts who soared into the air were all annihilated in mid-air with a casual wave of their hand before they could even get close to that figure, turning into a rain of blood.

This scene, witnessed by the Yue Emperor, caused his pupils to constrict.

It should be noted that these hundreds of figures are all experts guarding his Great Yue Imperial Palace. The weakest among them are at the Yin-Yang Realm, and there are quite a few kings at the Life and Death Realm.

Some of them were even at the peak of life and death, possessing the strength of a half-step reincarnation, and were powerful individuals who were only half a step away from stepping into reincarnation.

But even with such strength, so many experts and powerful figures were wiped out in a single move by the opponent, which shows that the strength of this figure is unfathomable.

The Yue Emperor gazed at the figure that had appeared above the palace and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why have you attacked my Great Yue capital, slaughtered my Great Yue generals, and dared to trespass into my Great Yue palace without cause?"

"Although you are powerful, you are not someone who can come and act recklessly in the palace of my Great Yue."

"If Your Excellency does not give me a satisfactory explanation today, then you may not leave today."

The Yue Emperor stared coldly at the other party, his voice filled with boundless majesty.

The opponent is strong, but no matter how strong they are, the dignity of Da Yue cannot be challenged, much less be overthrown.

The other side attacked the capital of Da Yue without cause, slaughtered Da Yue's generals, and even broke into Da Yue's palace, which clearly shows that they do not take Da Yue seriously.

If the other party cannot provide a satisfactory explanation, the Yue Emperor will use all his power to eliminate this arrogant scoundrel who dared to trespass into his Great Yue Palace.

"For no reason?"

Lu Bu sneered.

"You must be the emperor of Da Yue!"

"So you do know that attacking others without cause requires an explanation."

"I am Lu Bu, the General Who Guards the North of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I have come to Great Yue today to demand an explanation: Why did Great Yue send troops to attack my Great Zhou without cause?"

Lu Bu looked at the Yue Emperor and loudly questioned him.

That's right.

This figure was none other than Lü Bu, who had left Zhennan City and come to Dayue.

After leaving Zhennan City, Lü Bu stormed straight into the imperial city of Dayue.

Along the way, all the generals and experts from the cities of Dayue who blocked Lü Bu's path were easily killed by him.

With Lu Bu's strength, it didn't take him long at all to go from entering Dayue to arriving at the Dayue capital.

This is also why the Yue Emperor did not receive the news of Lü Bu's attack on the capital in time.

"what?"

"Lu Bu, the General Who Guards the North of the Great Zhou?"

When the Yue emperor heard Lü Bu's words, his face was full of astonishment and surprise.

Emperor Yue never expected that the person who attacked his Great Yue capital, stormed into his Great Yue palace, and slaughtered many of his palace's experts and powerful figures was actually Lu Bu, the General Who Guards the North of the Great Zhou.

How can this be?

How could such a powerful figure emerge from the Great Zhou, an indigenous dynasty that had just merged into the Great Wilderness?
It wasn't just the Yue emperor who was astonished.

The ministers standing beside the Yue Emperor also looked on incredulously.

No one expected that the Great Zhou, a native dynasty that had just merged into the Great Wilderness, would produce a powerful figure like Lü Bu.

Judging from Lu Bu's recent attack, his strength is at least that of a Venerable who has entered the late stage of the Reincarnation Realm.

Such a powerful figure would be an absolute legend even in the Great Yue Kingdom.

Although the Yue Emperor and several ministers couldn't understand why a powerful figure like Lü Bu would emerge from the Great Zhou, an indigenous dynasty that had just merged into the Great Wilderness.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that the other side has already come knocking on our door.

Emperor Yue looked at Lü Bu with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "So, what do you mean? The Reincarnation Realm Venerable I sent to Great Zhou and the army of my Great Yue have both been wiped out by you?"

Thinking of the army at the front, which had not received any news for more than two months, Emperor Yue immediately guessed that the Samsara Realm retainers and the army he had sent to the Great Zhou had probably been wiped out by Lü Bu.

Based on the strength that Lü Bu has just revealed, killing a Venerable of the Second Reincarnation Realm and an army of hundreds of thousands would be easier than crushing a few ants.

“These mere ants dare to attack my Great Zhou? I will naturally send them all to hell.”

Lu Bu said noncommittally, coldly looking at the Yue Emperor: "Your Great Yue attacked my Great Zhou without cause. Today, if you, the Emperor of Great Yue, cannot give my Great Zhou a satisfactory explanation, then I will send you, the Emperor of Great Yue, to hell."

Lu Bu's voice was calm, but to the Yue Emperor, it carried an undeniable authority.

The Yue Emperor knew that regardless of whether he gave an explanation to the Great Zhou or not, Lü Bu would not give up.

Because Lü Bu's purpose in coming here was clearly to take the head of the emperor of Great Yue.

Moreover, the Yue Emperor would never give the Great Zhou any explanation.

Because he is the emperor of Da Yue. What explanation does a mere indigenous dynasty that has just merged into the Great Wilderness deserve from him, the emperor of Da Yue?
"OK."

"What a Zhou dynasty! What a Lü Bu! I underestimated you both."

The Yue emperor, enraged, laughed instead.

"However, it is utterly laughable that you, Lü Bu, alone dare to boast that you will send me to hell."

"I admit that you are very strong, but you are not qualified to act presumptuously in my palace."

"I will now tell you a principle: the strong survive and the weak are eliminated. This is my explanation to your Great Zhou."

As the Yue emperor spoke, he waved his hand.

"All those who are here, take action and capture Lü Bu for me!" How dare he attack the capital of my Great Yue and storm into my palace? Does he really think his strength is invincible?
The Yue Emperor will now show Lü Bu why the flowers are so red.

As soon as the Yue Emperor finished speaking, seven figures soared into the sky from all four directions of the palace.

Each of these seven figures exuded a terrifying aura.

The weakest among them were all Reincarnation Realm Venerables who had entered one cycle of reincarnation, and two of them were even late-stage Reincarnation Realm experts who had entered seven cycles of reincarnation.

It can be said that each of these seven figures is a force to be reckoned with, capable of suppressing a region.

This is the true guardian force within the palace.

As for those people who were just killed by Lü Bu, they were nothing more than small fry.

The seven Venerable Ones of the Reincarnation Realm exuded a powerful aura as they stared at Lü Bu.

One of them glanced at Lü Bu and said, "To have such cultivation and strength at such a young age is truly remarkable."

"I advise you to surrender. Considering your talent, we might spare your life."

"otherwise."

"Don't blame us for being ruthless."

This Reincarnation Realm Venerable is a powerful being who has entered seven reincarnations.

The fact that Lü Bu, at such a young age, possessed such cultivation and strength put them under considerable pressure, and the Venerable One of the Reincarnation Realm was quite shocked.

But the dignity of Dai Viet cannot be challenged.

If Lü Bu surrenders and submits to the Great Yue, they might spare his life, considering his considerable talent.

Upon hearing the words of this Reincarnation Realm Venerable, a hint of disdain flashed across Lü Bu's face; "An ant like you dares to spout such arrogant words and ask me, Lü Bu, to spare your life?"

"die."

Without saying a word, Lü Bu struck out with his palm, directly targeting the seven Reincarnation Realm Venerables.

Seeing that Lu Bu was refusing to listen to reason and was instead being forced to take action, the seven Reincarnation Realm Venerables took the initiative and struck him with a palm.

The faces of the seven Reincarnation Realm Venerables all showed murderous intent. Without further ado, they made their move to completely suppress Lü Bu.

Only at this moment did the seven Venerables of the Reincarnation Realm realize that Lu Bu's palm strike, seemingly ordinary, actually contained terrifying pressure, rendering them unable to move.

At this moment, the seven Reincarnation Realm Venerables finally understood how terrifying Lü Bu was.

"Do not……"

The seven Venerable Ones of the Samsara Realm screamed in terror, but no sound came out of their throats.

Their pupils contracted, and in an instant, they were completely plunged into darkness.

"puff……"

Under Lü Bu's palm strike.

The seven reincarnation realm retainers of the Great Yue were all powerless to resist and were smashed into blood rain by Lü Bu, which flew all over the sky.

This scene, witnessed by the Yue Emperor, caused his face to freeze in place.

The Yue emperor thought he had misread it.

These are the seven Reincarnation Realm elders of the Great Yue, the strongest force in Great Yue to deter and suppress everything. Each of them, when taken out, is a force to be reckoned with.

Among them are two powerful experts in the late stage of the Reincarnation Realm who have already entered the seventh reincarnation.

How could they have been so easily wiped out by Lu Bu with a single palm strike?
The seven Venerable Ones at the Reincarnation Realm were completely powerless to resist. What a joke!
Not only was the Yue Emperor stunned, but everyone else was also stunned.

It should be noted that these seven people are not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry; they are Venerables of the Reincarnation Realm, royal retainers, and the pinnacle of existence in the Great Yue Kingdom.

In everyone's eyes, these seven Venerable Ones of the Reincarnation Realm were all important figures, beings who were high above others.

But now, these big shots who were so high and mighty in everyone's eyes have been slapped to death. The contrast is so great that no one can accept it or react to it for a while.

After Lu Bu killed seven Reincarnation Realm elders of the Great Yue with a single palm strike, he looked up at the Yue Emperor and said, "You're right, the strong survive and the weak are eliminated. That principle is correct."

"But unfortunately, my Great Zhou is not weak, at least compared to your Great Yue, my Great Zhou is not weak."

How could Lü Bu not understand the meaning behind the Yue Emperor's words?
Lu Bu was arrogant, but that doesn't mean he was brainless.

The Yue Emperor's words implied that the Great Zhou was weak and that the weak should be slaughtered by the strong.

But Lü Bu responded to the Yue Emperor with a palm strike, telling him that the Great Zhou was not weak, but rather a strong power capable of slaughtering the Great Yue.

Upon hearing Lü Bu's words and seeing his disdainful gaze, the Yue Emperor's face darkened considerably.

A tremendous wave of emotion surged within me.

Emperor Yue originally thought that with seven Reincarnation Realm experts taking action, defeating Lü Bu should not be a problem.

But reality dealt Emperor Yue a harsh blow. Not only did the seven reincarnation realm retainers fail to defeat Lü Bu, they were also annihilated by Lü Bu with a single palm strike, leaving them powerless to resist.

Just how strong is Lu Bu?
Emperor Yue suppressed his shock, met Lü Bu's gaze, and said through gritted teeth, "Lü Bu, you deserve to die! You killed seven royal retainers of my Great Yue! Today, I will spare no effort to destroy you!"

The Yue Emperor said with a hateful voice.

The Great Yue has only nine Reincarnation Realm experts in total, which is the Great Yue's reliance on deterring foreign enemies and suppressing all sides.

It was precisely because of the presence of these nine Reincarnation Realm experts that Emperor Yue was able to maintain his rule.

However, of the nine retainers of Da Yue, seven were killed by Lü Bu with a single blow, one died in the Beast Dynasty, and the remaining one was sent by the Yue Emperor to support the army of Da Zhou, but he also died at the hands of Lü Bu.

It can be said that almost all of the nine retainers of Da Yue, whether directly or indirectly, were brought down by Da Zhou.

Without the offerings of the nine Reincarnation Realm experts, the sky of Great Yue is as if half of it has collapsed.

Regardless of the final outcome, Dai Viet's overall strength will have declined to its lowest point.

This intensified the Yue Emperor's murderous intent towards Lü Bu and the Zhou Dynasty to an extreme degree.

"The Four Absolute Dragon-Protecting Formation is activated."

Emperor Yue shouted and waved his hands.

A barrier of azure light appeared, enveloping the entire imperial palace.

This is a protective formation within the palace, capable of defending against powerful enemies from the outside and suppressing strong individuals from within; it is one of the foundations of the Great Yue Kingdom.

Even for beings above the Reincarnation Realm, breaking through this formation in a short time would not be easy.

Within the formation, without the formation token, one's strength will be weakened; even a Venerable of the Reincarnation Realm can be suppressed and killed.

In order to deal with Lü Bu, the Yue Emperor directly used the resources of the Great Yue to kill Lü Bu in one fell swoop.

The protective formation of this palace is different from that of the imperial city, and it is incomparable to the formation of the imperial city. It will not be easy for Lu Bu to break through this formation.

When the Yue Emperor activated the formation, Lü Bu felt a powerful pressure descend upon him, almost causing his figure, which was standing in mid-air, to fall to the ground.

As he watched the azure barrier envelop the entire palace, isolating it from both inside and outside, and feeling the oppressive aura emanating from it, Lü Bu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
