Chapter 1144 Fat Dragon Ah Huo
When the Grand Elder asked about Senior Sister Lu Yi, Lu Li's eyes also dimmed. "I'm sorry, Grand Elder, we weren't sent flying to the same place, and I don't know whether Senior Sister is alive or dead."

The Grand Elder sighed inwardly upon hearing this, but did not press further. "It's good that you've all come back alive..."

At this point, his eyes suddenly widened, and he scrutinized Lu Li from head to toe as if he had seen a ghost. "You...you...what realm are you at now?"

Yuanwu looked at Lu Gaoge with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot, because he had immediately recognized Lu Li's strength. Otherwise, the two guards would not have been able to pass so easily.

However, he was also shocked and curious about what Lu Li had gone through to become so powerful in just one era.

It's not that it's strange that a pioneer could rise to the peak of the ninth rank within an era. The main thing is that they all know that Lu Li was sent flying back then and his fate was unknown. It would probably take many years just to revive him. In addition, Lu Li is no longer an explorer and has no space to assist him. So how did he become stronger?
"I didn't know before, but after meeting the Grand Elder, I can confirm that I am now at the peak of the True Self Realm."

Lu Li said, his voice filled with emotion.

Because he only realized something was wrong halfway through his journey in the Sea of ​​Worlds, and after arriving in this world, he understood everything.

It turns out that the time system in his home world is malfunctioning, perhaps due to special manipulation by the person who set the rules for that world. The time system there is nearly a hundred times slower than that of the larger world.

In other words, he stayed in that world for over a million years, but in reality, hundreds of millions of years had passed in the vast universe. According to the calendar system of the Divine Martial Continent, that was one era.

Upon learning of this, Lu Li sighed deeply. He had thought that a million years was long enough, but if a hundred million years had passed in the outside world, he might never see many of his old friends again.

"Good...good...a narrow escape from death is sure to bring good fortune!"

The Grand Elder was very happy, and at the same time, he was praying for Lu Yi, believing that those who were scattered into the World Sea back then were still alive.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the other people in the meeting room also came out. They were all surprised to see Lu Li and couldn't help but ask him about his experiences over the years.

They were even more shocked when they learned that Lu Li had actually been cultivating in a special world for over a million years.

"and many more!"

Yuanwu suddenly realized, "So, judging from the traces of his true spirit's age, Junior Nephew Lu... he's actually only a little over a million years old!?"

"Yes, Junior Nephew Lu is indeed exceptionally talented; he's probably the only one like him throughout history."

Someone remarked with emotion.

"That's not what I meant. We all know how monstrous Junior Nephew Lu is, you don't need to tell me. What I meant was that he... he meets the competition rules!"

Yuanwu said excitedly, he already had a terrifying idea.

"Participate? Is there another competition?"

Lu Li asked curiously.

So everyone told Lu Li about the current situation, and Lu Li readily agreed, "I am studying in the Divine Martial Continent and am just passing through this place. I have nothing urgent to do, so I will naturally lend a hand."

"The Primordial God Realm has indeed gone too far."

Lu Xueqing nodded in agreement, saying that the power of the silk threads in her body had not been completely removed, but her true spirit had been reunited. As long as she was not afraid of pain, it would not affect her combat ability.

After millions of years of martial arts research and comprehension, although she did not achieve the same absurd meteoric rise as Lu Li after her body recovered, she still reached the True Self Realm, making her the strongest in her generation.

With Lu Li and Lu Xueqing as strong allies, everyone in the conference room felt much better. They no longer cared whether any more powerful explorers were willing to come to their continent, since they had already received help from the two strongest pioneers in the past.

"Now that you're back, you should go and see the mountain lord."

After the meeting, Lu Gaoge said, "Also, that fat cat you raised has now turned into a dragon and is roaming around the nearby world. You need to deal with it."

Lu Li was overjoyed to hear that Ah Huo was still alive. "Please, Elder, show me the way. I will go to find it later."

“I remember someone saw it in World 108 a while ago. It should still be here. I’ll give you the coordinates.”

As the elder spoke, he transmitted coordinates within the World Sea to Lu Li, a common method of positioning.

After accepting the gift, Lu Li took Lu Xueqing back to Martial God Mountain. As for the Grand Elder, he had other matters to attend to, so he did not join them.

Upon ascending Mount Wushen once again, the two recalled their past experiences and couldn't help but sigh. Back then, when they came here to cultivate, one of them wanted to freeload and gain benefits, while the other wanted to achieve her goal of becoming the senior disciple of the younger generation of Mount Wushen.

But who would have thought that these two insignificant people would be scattered across the ocean during the great calamity?

Because the difficulty of Mount Wushen was relatively low, and many people recognized Lu Li and Lu Xueqing, they easily reached the summit and met Lu Shuiliu.

"Just come back."

Lu Shuiliu looked at Lu Xueqing and felt a weight lifted from his heart. "I will inform your great-grandmother about this matter."

"Thank you, Lord Mountain."

Lu Xueqing said respectfully, "In this way, she and Lu Li can reconnect with the space."

"The power within you..."

Lu Shuiliu looked at the threads inside Lu Xueqing's body thoughtfully, "Let me give it a try."

Lu Xueqing cooperated and stepped forward. Then Lu Shuiliu unleashed his domineering soul intent, yet it was also quite subtle, attempting to shatter or expel the power of those threads from Lu Xueqing's body.

Unfortunately, even though Lu Xueqing started coughing up blood, the threads remained completely still.

It wasn't that Lu Shuiliu's skill was lacking, but rather that the remaining threads were the thickest and most solid part. Lu Li had previously said that even if they were replaced and erased using a high-level source, it would still take several eras.

Later, after the dark characteristics in Lu Li's origin were taken back, he found that when he exchanged origins with Lu Xueqing again, there was no longer that beneficial effect. On the contrary, he felt that Lu Xueqing's origin was trying to erode him, making him truly feel the domineering power of the other party's bloodline.

However, his current cultivation level is too high, and he easily destroyed and suppressed it with a little effort.

"As expected, it possesses an aura above the ninth rank. I'm afraid only your great-grandmother could shatter these. Would you like me to send you back?"

Lu Shuiliu asked, she had never given Lu Xueqing any special treatment in the past, but since the other party had gotten into trouble on her turf, she had always felt guilty and felt that she couldn't face that person.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mountain Lord, but I have already agreed to help the Divine Martial Continent participate in the competition. I will return to the space after the competition is over."

Lu Xueqing declined the mountain lord's suggestion, because she knew the competition was actually the day after tomorrow. "Alright, but remember, don't push yourself too hard, otherwise your injuries will worsen and cause a lot of trouble."

The mountain lord offered some advice, but she wasn't too worried because she could see that Lu Xueqing's cultivation level had not only increased, but her martial arts realm had also undergone a complete transformation. According to the rules of the original God Realm, no one would be Lu Xueqing's match.

Speaking of the rules, she even had a big fight with someone over it, but she was basically beating people up the whole time. When she realized the other person wasn't fighting back, she felt it was pointless and gave up.

The affairs between the two realms are not solely decided by her or him; they involve the interests of the entire world. Furthermore, the Divine Martial Continent has a history of bullying the other side. In this world, there is no such thing as being right just because you are weak; the strong always reign supreme.

Before leaving Wushen Mountain, Lu Li met with his former fellow disciples. The senior sisters who had once used his cultivation techniques were both amazed and regretful to see him achieve such great strength.

They lamented that Lu Li, despite his current strength, had lost that original characteristic. If he still possessed it, wouldn't it be incredibly difficult to replenish his essence?

Looking at the wolfish gazes of his fellow disciples, Lu Li suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that the Demon God hadn't been playing with him lately; otherwise, Martial God Mountain would truly be a den of dragons and tigers for him.

"I haven't asked you before how Senior Sister Qianqian replenishes your essence."

After finally breaking through the crowd, Lu Xueqing asked in a cold voice.

"That's all in the past. Besides, I was cultivating to earn money, so it wasn't shameful."

Lu Li wasn't really stupid; he noticed the other person was unhappy, so he changed the subject.

"Go find Ah Huo yourself. I want to look at some more cultivation manuals on Mount Wushen."

Lu Xueqing snorted and said that there was half the truth in what she said.

"Alright, I won't stay here any longer. I know Ah Huo's temperament. If no one takes care of him, who knows if he'll become a menace. I need to go and get rid of him quickly."

Lu Li nodded and then fled the scene as if escaping.

Soon, following the coordinates given by the Grand Elder, he arrived at the 108th original world.

As expected, Ah Huo caused a huge commotion here. As soon as Lu Li entered the world, he saw three peak True Self Realm cultivators beating up a fat dragon.

After a brief deduction, he realized the whole story. It turned out that Ah Huo had been consuming the world's primordial matter after arriving in this world, and had also wreaked havoc on the medicinal gardens of the three top powers in this world, which led to the three top experts surrounding and killing him.

Ah Huo was screaming in pain as he was being beaten. Fortunately, their battle took place in the heavens; otherwise, this realm would have been shattered by the aftershocks of the fight.

Fei Long's body was covered in cuts and bruises, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that these were all superficial wounds, and the injuries were still healing.

"Meow! Meow meow meow meow meow!"

Ah Huo let out a fierce roar, seemingly as a warning, but ordinary people did not understand the meaning of its words and thought it was a provocation.

Lu Li understood. Ah Huo meant, "That's enough! I only took a few bites of your medicine, is it really necessary to be so relentless? If you hit me again, I'll fight back!"

Yes, Ah Huo is not powerless to fight back; it is simply taking the beating. If it were to launch a counterattack, it might be able to injure its opponent.

However, it initially stole someone else's medicine and felt somewhat guilty, so it didn't intend to kill in the fight. It had been surrounded and beaten for three years, and now it couldn't hold back any longer.

"Fellow Daoists, give it your all! This fat dragon is about to collapse!"

One of the sword immortals shouted, "Kill it, pull out its tendons, and skin it. These are all top-quality materials. It won't be in vain that we let it consume so many powerful medicines in this realm."

The other two nodded and immediately launched an even more vigorous attack.

With their level of expertise, how could they not have noticed someone trying to steal the medicine? They were simply planning to fatten it up before killing it.

At this moment, Ah Huo also realized what was going on and immediately began to retaliate in anger. It felt that it was enough to beat them up to vent its anger, but they wanted to tear its tendons and skin off it. How could that be allowed?
But when it got serious about fighting, it embarrassingly discovered that... it seemed to be no different from before. Although it also launched a counterattack, its attacks were not very effective at hitting anyone, and even if they did hit, they would be cleverly neutralized by the opponent's magic.

For a moment, Ah Huo panicked a little, thinking to himself, "Am I really that bad?"
After it grew fat over the years, it wandered around the nearby World Ocean and even tried to find small worlds to absorb resources, but it never encountered any rivals.

Unexpectedly, it encountered several peak True Self Realm cultivators in this realm, and it really couldn't defeat them.

Just as Ah Huo was desperately trying to escape, dashing left and right, a blade of energy descended from the sky, instantly severing the battlefield and separating the three people from Ah Huo.

The three experts were surprised by the sharpness of the blade energy and looked towards the sky. They saw a figure break through the barrier of the world and enter from beyond the world. The man was dressed in black and held a blade with a jade-like texture. His martial arts aura flowed freely.

"What is the meaning of this visit from outside, fellow Daoist?"

The sword immortal clasped his hands and asked.

At this moment, Ah Huo looked up and saw Lu Li. He was stunned for a moment, and then tears welled up in his eyes. He immediately rushed to Lu Li's side and nuzzled against him.

"This dragon is my mount. Its behavior has been improper. I apologize to all of you on its behalf."

Lu Li bowed and patted Ah Huo's belly. He had to admit that even after a hundred million years, Ah Huo was still so fat. He really didn't know how Ah Huo had grown to the peak of the True Self Realm.

To be honest, he had analyzed Ah Huo's aptitude back then and felt that Ah Huo's innate aptitude was limited. In fact, he could only cultivate to 320 attribute points at most in this lifetime. Who would have thought that Ah Huo could reach the peak?

“Brother Dao, this dragon has stolen the spiritual herbs that we have cultivated for hundreds of epochs and has even devoured the origin of this realm. Its crimes are unforgivable. Please give us an explanation.”

"That expert who held up the nine-story pagoda said."

"Spit it out."

Lu Li turned to Ah Huo and said, "I know you have a habit of hiding food. Judging from your fat, I know your power has not yet been refined, and the new food you eat must still be hidden in your Qiankun Stomach."

Ah Huo hesitated, seemingly unwilling, and whimpered, "Meow meow meow, woo woo woo."

It explained that it had been eating so diligently all these years in order to become stronger, to find Lu Li, or to avenge Lu Li, and that it had not harmed any innocent creatures.

Lu Li felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this, but he still maintained a sharp gaze.

Finally, Ah Huo reluctantly spat out some spiritual herbs. When Lu Li saw them, he realized they were indeed all top-grade medicinal herbs. Ah Huo really knew how to steal.
