Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1100 Forbidden Fall
In an instant, the battle intensified, with the two sides clashing like demons from hell.

They used knives, fists, feet, and even their teeth to devour people, fighting to the point of madness.

Even the well-informed Second Elder was shocked by the battle, because the two were extremely ruthless. Some of their moves, though not aesthetically pleasing, were the best options in those situations.

Both sides demonstrated a level of judgment far exceeding that of ordinary disciples of Martial God Mountain, a level that should not be expected from someone of their age and cultivation.

In terms of combat strength at the same level, the Second Elder was surprised to find that the only disciple on Martial God Mountain who could reliably defeat these two was Lu Yi, the current senior sister of Martial God Mountain.

Lu Li was one thing, but this innate bloodline warrior from the space was also incredibly powerful?

The second elder frowned as he watched the battle intently, and soon discovered the strengths and weaknesses of the two fighters.

Indeed, what Lu Xueqing said earlier was correct. Lu Li's comprehension is truly extraordinary. It seems that as long as he has seen a technique, there is no technique he cannot comprehend. Therefore, he was able to use the root soul intent at a very early age, and he can control it very precisely.

However, Lu Xueqing still surpasses Lu Li in terms of soul intent at this time because Lu Xueqing's soul intent is 'pure' and more profound, which is the basic manifestation.

It's hard to imagine that Lu Xueqing, at her age, could possess such a profound and sophisticated soul intent. This cannot be explained by personal experience; one can only say that she is truly gifted in this field.

To put it simply, Lu Li's soul intent is not as strong as Lu Xueqing's, nor is its quality as refined. In short, his soul intent value is not as high as Lu Xueqing's.

Therefore, with Lu Xueqing on guard against the tracing of the root soul intent, the confrontation with the same soul intent became a pure numerical comparison. Since Lu Li's soul intent was of lower quality than Lu Xueqing's, he naturally suffered a disadvantage.

However, Lu Li has a perfect body, which is an advantage over Lu Xueqing. Moreover, his primal instincts combined with the mission's free and easy skills make Lu Li more refined in both offense and defense than Lu Xueqing. Therefore, the two are currently locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

The battle lasted for half an hour before finally ending with Lu Li's unexpected move bringing him victory.

Using the advantage of his perfect body, Lu Li used an unusual angle to strike with his final move, avoiding the Valkyrie's defensive path and severing her at the waist. At the same time, the intent of the blade burst forth within him, making it impossible to defend against.

This long-planned strike, combined with the Soul Eater's critical hit, dealt a second wave of damage, instantly obliterating the Valkyrie.

Lu Li didn't fare any better, because when the Valkyrie realized she didn't have time to parry with her side blade, she made her own judgment, condensed her soul intent into one, and unleashed a devastating punch that completely obliterated Lu Li.

The two were eliminated in less than a microsecond, but the outcome is always determined by who goes first. In a real life-or-death battle, Lu Li might have won a Pyrrhic victory or they might have perished together, but in this sparring match on the stage, he was indeed the winner.

"Thank you for your kind offer. Now the score is 327 to 326."

Lu Li appeared off the stage and said with a smile that he was in a great mood, not only because he had a great fight with a strong opponent and gained a lot of insights, but also because he had won another round against the Valkyrie.

In the world of One-Punch Man, they trained together for a period of time and had some friendly sparring. They competed many times, but the matches always ended in a draw.

He won another game today, which means he has the upper hand over his opponent.

"Hmph, let's fight again in three days."

The Valkyrie, however, was unconvinced. She realized her own problem during the battle, and if she could also successfully cultivate the perfect body, she might be able to turn the tables and overpower Lu Li.

"Oh, right, the Zhongji acupoint below your lower abdomen also has a lot of accumulated power. You need to release it, otherwise you won't be able to cultivate a perfect body."

Lu Li kindly reminded him that he had seen it during the battle. After all, when fighting, both sides are focused on each other and will not pay attention to defending or covering their own bodies.

In fact, he felt that the Valkyrie must have also used her Martial Arts Eye to see him thoroughly, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to judge his effort so accurately.

"you……"

Lu Xueqing blushed, "You...you..."

She said "you" three times in a row, then turned and strode away, leaving Lu Li completely bewildered.

"Second Elder, what's wrong with her? I kindly told her about the final flaw, and not only did she not thank me, she even got angry at me. Sigh, our senior brothers and sisters from Martial God Mountain are so polite."

Lu Li said with a puzzled expression.

The Second Elder gave Lu Li a strange look. "Li'er, Xue Qing is a woman, after all."

"What's wrong with women... me..."

Lu Li wanted to retort and say something angry and cold, but remembering that the Second Elder was also a woman, she swallowed her words.

The Second Elder shook his head and smiled, realizing that no one is perfect. Although Li'er had extraordinary comprehension, she was too straightforward.

She thought for a moment, then changed the subject, saying, "Li'er, after that battle, are you aware of your current shortcomings?"

"Yes, as she said, my soul foundation is indeed somewhat weak and needs to be polished."

Lu Li said humbly.

"In that case, come to the Soul Refining Tower this afternoon. You haven't been here yet, have you?"

The Second Elder suggested.

"Soul Refining Tower?"

Lu Li was stunned. He had heard the Third Elder mention that the Second Elder was in charge of the Soul Refining Tower, but during the six months he spent at Martial God Mountain, he was busy all day long. He sold his own essence during the day and might have to deliver takeout at night. He was only thinking about the Secret Blood Crystal. He had never left this Peak Square.
Now, hearing the Second Elder talk about the Soul Refining Tower, he remembered that there was such a mysterious place.

"That's right. You haven't been there yet, so you may not know that the Soul Refining Tower, which I oversee, is where disciples refine their souls. It not only makes the true spirit more solid, but also allows those who have already mastered the soul intent to hone their soul intent and reach a purer state."

The Second Elder explained, "Xue Qing's talent in the path of soul intent is indeed rare, but her soul intent was not this strong before. She has spent a lot of time cultivating in the Soul Refining Tower over the years."

Lu Li's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Thank you for your guidance, Second Elder. I will go to the Soul Refining Tower this afternoon to give it a try."

The Second Elder nodded in satisfaction. “Ordinary disciples, even true disciples, have to use contribution points to exchange for time when they go to the Soul Refining Tower. But since you are a guest and have received a promise, you don’t need to worry. You can cultivate inside for as long as you want. But remember, don’t rush to the upper levels. Excessive pressure may damage your true spirit.”

"Disciple, please remember this."

Lu Li bowed respectfully.

After finishing his morning lesson, the Second Elder showed no intention of chatting with Lu Li any further and vanished from the spot in a flash.

What Lu Li didn't know was that his amazing performance today soon reached the ears of the Martial God Mountain Master.

The Second Elder was truly shocked, feeling that such a space explorer was too abnormal. In addition, she had not been able to figure out the principle behind the forbidden substance on Lu Li's body that could enhance the purity of their bloodline in the past twenty years, and she was somewhat confused.

So she went to see the mountain lord, hoping he could answer her questions.

As soon as she knocked on the door and received permission from the mountain lord, she saw a handsome man exuding a charming and dashing air standing there. It turned out that the Grand Elder had also returned from his trip and seemed to be talking with the mountain lord.

"Mountain Lord, Grand Elder."

The Second Elder bowed respectfully to the two. Although she had reached the peak of the True Self Realm and was considered a strong person in this realm due to the power of the Martial Mystic Blood, she still felt an indescribable sense of oppression in front of the Mountain Lord.

This feeling was indescribable. The opponent was clearly not at the Supreme Realm, yet he seemed to be above them, his aura so powerful it could cover the heavens. Although the Grand Elder was known for her womanizing ways, she was indeed the strongest person besides the Lord of Martial God Mountain. She and the opponent were clearly at the same level, yet she couldn't last more than a hundred moves.

"Junior Sister Yun, did you come here because of Lu Li?"

The First Elder smiled and looked at the Second Elder, Lu Yun, as if he had seen through her thoughts.

"Senior brother understands my intentions. It was you who ordered Lu Li to be brought back. You knew he was like this beforehand..."

The Second Elder is a bit hard to describe.

"Outrageous?"

The Grand Elder continued.

"Yes, it's outrageous. Forgive me for speaking frankly, but I've never seen anyone like him before. It's as if he can see everything at a glance. He can even see through the shortcomings in other people's cultivation and make improvements. This is just too puzzling."

The Second Elder said, "I even suspect that he is a young man who has been transformed from a supreme taboo and is just playing with me."

"Stop guessing. I don't know why he's like this either, but since he's an officially recognized pioneer of the End Space, there's no problem with his identity. As for the substances in his body, you guys don't need to study them. You won't find anything."

The great elder said with a smile.

"What does Senior Brother know?"

Lu Yun frowned and asked.

However, the Grand Elder smiled without saying a word. Of course he knew what was inside Lu Li's body, otherwise why would he have tried to snatch him that day?

Everyone says that the people of Martial God Mountain are a bunch of brutes, but Lu Gaoge is not like that. He calculated the time and situation to cause trouble. If Yuan Wu of Tianyuan hadn't also been a man of exceptional insight, he would have been able to trick Lu Li from that group of people much more easily.

"Master... Senior Brother, he..."

Seeing Lu Gaoge like this, Lu Yun felt a little uncomfortable, so she bowed down in front of the mountain lord. Her demeanor was quite coquettish, a scene that the disciples of Martial God Mountain could hardly imagine.

Although she was very old, in front of the mountain lord, she was once a little girl who had been raised by him, and the mountain lord had always liked her.

“Yun’er, your senior brother has his reasons for not telling you. Don’t be silly.”

A hint of helplessness appeared in the eyes of the Martial God Mountain Master as he gently patted Lu Yun's head. "Go ahead and see how he performs in the Soul Refining Tower."

Seeing that the mountain lord wouldn't tell her anything, Lu Yun realized that there might be some taboo involved, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions, bowed, and left.

When only the two of them remained, Lu Gaoge finally spoke: "Mountain Lord, is that matter true?"

The Martial God Mountain Master's expression turned serious. "I've already confirmed it; they wouldn't joke about something like this."

"hiss--"

Lu Gaoge gasped, "Those were three... supreme figures, and they've all fallen like that?"

As the second strongest person in Martial God Mountain, he naturally knew more. When Lu Li entered the realm, ordinary people did not recognize the substance on him, but how could those supreme forbidden figures who had existed since the ancient times not recognize it?

After the mountain lord met with those people, three supreme figures immediately set off to verify certain things.

As a result, the foundations of the three great immortal sects—Qiyu Tower, Lingjin Valley, and Xuan Nu Immortal Sect—and the supreme figures who had existed since ancient times, actually perished.

This result terrified the top echelons of the Divine Martial Continent. Even the Martial God Mountain Master was shaken when she learned of it. Putting aside everything else, she knew that the taboo of the Mysterious Maiden Immortal Sect was that the younger generation who had risen after the great calamity were the ones who were forbidden.

As for the Nine-Winged Forbidden Ancestor of Qiyu Tower and the Crimson Gold Forbidden Ancestor of Lingjin Valley, they were both beings who fought on the supreme battlefield of the Great Calamity. The fact that they were able to survive in such a cruel environment means that, regardless of how extraordinary their combat power was, their ability to protect themselves was undoubtedly superb.

That person allowed them to return to their hometown because of their merits. They never expected that they would survive the great calamity and even survive the great disaster, only to die in this seemingly peaceful era.

"not that simple."

The Lord of Martial God Mountain sighed, "Their concept has vanished."

Upon hearing this, Lu Gaoge was utterly shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Impossible!"

"At first I also thought it was impossible, so I traveled through the myriad worlds yesterday, but I did not find any concept of them."

"The Lord of Martial God Mountain said."

"Although I have not yet reached the Supreme Realm, any True Self Peak expert on the Divine Martial Continent knows the difference between us and the forbidden figures. They created concepts that endure with common sense. The forbidden may perish, but the concepts endure, and one day they may not be unable to return. How could anyone possibly erase the concepts they created!?"

Lu Gaoge found this matter utterly absurd, even more so than when he heard that Lu Li could learn the Origin Soul Intent in just a few years.

"Nothing in this world is absolute, Gao Ge, you are still too young."

The Lord of Martial God Mountain looked solemn. "Do you really think that the supreme taboo is the end of the path?"

Lu Gaoge's heart trembled. "You mean... there's another road above that?"

"Have."

The Lord of Martial God Mountain nodded and said, "That is the legendary... tenth rank."

"The tenth tier!? Isn't that a legend circulating in the space? Does such a thing really exist?"

Lu Gaoge was puzzled, and at the same time, he felt a strange sense of dread.

Yes, I've seen it.

The mountain lord spoke calmly, but her heart was churning with turmoil. She knew that there should be no existence in this world that could erase concepts. Shouldn't such an existence, which was beyond the bounds of common sense, have already been killed by her senior brother?

Even assuming the matter were to reappear, it would now be trapped and have no room for further misbehavior.

Who is it that erased the three taboo concepts?
Seeing that the mountain lord was no longer willing to say anything more, Lu Gaoge knew that there were some things he shouldn't ask, so he changed the subject, "Mountain lord... things haven't been peaceful down the mountain lately, shouldn't we send our disciples down to train?"

The mountain lord raised an eyelid slightly. "You think this matter is related to the Wings of Freedom in the Boundary Sea? Do you want Lu Li to go and probe it?"

Lu Gaoge bowed and said, "This disciple is dull, but the fact that the violator entered the country is already suspicious. Although he has an invitation, he is a traitor of the End Space, possesses a spirit seed, and has joined the Soul Devouring Sect. I suspect that... in our world, someone's stance has changed."

“What you say makes sense. Let’s test him then. You go with him and keep an eye on his safety.”

The mountain lord nodded. Although she didn't think that a clown like Wings of Freedom could be related to erasing the three forbidden beings, she couldn't tolerate any insects jumping around in this realm.
