The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

The sudden sound startled everyone.

The five immediately huddled together, scanning all directions to avoid being attacked.

They were engaged in highway robbery, which brought great profits but also great risks.

Therefore, the five of them had a great understanding and coordination, which clearly indicated that they had rehearsed and communicated in advance.

"You're playing tricks! Get out here!"

The bald, burly man looked grave and roared loudly.

Beneath that fierce exterior, the bald, muscular man was already extremely nervous.

"Hehehe, a bunch of rats. Few people come to this desert, so this is a decent cemetery. You can stay here forever."

Lu Yao looked calmly at the deserted ground below, his expression serene, and spoke softly.

"Up there!"

Upon hearing the sound, the bald, burly man looked up instantly and spotted Lu Yao floating above them.

The bald, burly man was terrified. He never expected that Lu Yao could fly; it was unheard of.

After a martial artist advances to the Saint Realm, they can fly through the air for a short time, but it consumes a great deal of true energy.

However, Lu Yao can use the essence of Tang Wu Jue, so he can fly at low altitudes at will.

"Boss, who exactly is he? He can actually fly!"

One of the henchmen's hands, gripping the iron sword, trembled slightly as he quickly moved closer to the bald, burly man.

"Damn it! It must be a trick! All of you, attack! Use your inner energy to knock him down!"

The bald, burly man remained expressionless, a look of contempt on his face, and shouted loudly at his underlings.

Seeing that their leader was still confident of victory, the group breathed a sigh of relief and obeyed the bald, burly man's order, releasing their true energy to strike Lu Yao.

However, before these true qi could even get close to Lu Yao, they were dispersed by a burst of Lu Yao's true power.

Just as the people on the ground made their move, the bald, muscular man's figure flashed and he frantically scattered towards the edge of the desert.

"Damn it! This isn't a fat sheep, it's a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

The bald, burly man spat and tried his best to use his lightness skill to escape.

The other four were stunned and at a loss when they saw the bald, burly man running away.

However, there aren't many fools among those who can become robbers. The group immediately understood their leader's intentions: he wanted them to be the last ones standing.

The group dared not make a move and quickly ran in other directions.

"You're running away now? It's too late!"

Lu Yao hovered in the air, arms crossed, watching the group of people scatter and flee with great interest.

As Lu Yao's mind stirred, five sword energies appeared, transforming into streaks of light that shot towards the group.

The gap in strength between Lu Yao and the others was too great; in just two breaths, the five of them were caught up by the sword energy.

They didn't even have a chance to resist; they were all beheaded with a single sword strike, including the bald, burly man at the Innate Realm.

Lu Yao didn't care about this little incident. After determining the direction, he flew straight towards the location of the Loulan ancient city ruins.

Flying is much faster than walking, but the ancient city of Loulan is deep in the desert and cannot be reached in a short time.

a few days later.

Wearing a cloak, Lu Yao moved quickly through the swirling sandstorm.

The closer you get to the depths of the desert, the stronger the sandstorms become, making it unsuitable for flying.

Therefore, Lu Yao was already using his lightness skill to travel.

Suddenly, Lu Yao stopped and stared calmly ahead.

Lu Yao suddenly sensed the fluctuations of the dragon vein, as if something was attracting him.

With a thought, Lu Yao directly took the dragon vein spine into his hand.

From the very beginning, Lu Yao felt that the dragon vein was related to the Four Sacred Beasts, but he had never found any clues.

At this moment, Lu Yao was very close to the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, but the dragon vein reacted.

The only creature capable of resonating with the dragon vein here is the dragon turtle, one of the Four Sacred Beasts.

Lu Yao knew that the dragon turtle's shell was underground in the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, so he did not hesitate and directly began to determine the dragon turtle's location based on the sensation of the dragon vein.

In a short while, Lu Yao arrived at the western side of the Loulan ancient city ruins.

The ancient city of Loulan has been buried in the sandstorm, with only a few dilapidated city walls visible, as if telling the story of the Loulan civilization.

Lu Yao knew that there was a huge hollow beneath the ancient city of Loulan. In the original story, the hollow collapsed due to the battle between Bu Jingyun and Xiao Sanxiao, revealing the underground ruins and the dragon turtle shell.

Although Lu Yao could fly, he did not have the ability to burrow underground. He could only follow the method in the original work to break down the hole and let the underground ruins be revealed on their own.

Lu Yao took a deep breath, his true energy surging wildly, stirring up the sandstorm, and a terrifying aura burst forth from his body.

"Open it for me!"

Lu Yao let out a soft shout and fully activated the Xuanwu True Skill, unleashing the leg techniques of the ten strongest martial arts.

"Ragingly trample mountains and rivers!"

Lu Yao covered his feet with his true energy and stomped his foot hard on the ground. A terrifying surge of energy began to vibrate wildly from Lu Yao's center.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded. Muffled thuds began to emanate from beneath the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, and the yellow sand began to sink, slowly revealing a massive crater.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yao moved and hovered in the air, waiting quietly.

Half an hour later, the yellow sand stopped, and a huge pit was revealed beneath Lu Yao, like a lake that had been traversed on its journey, extending deep into the earth.

In the center of the pit, a huge tortoise shell was finally revealed.

"Is this the dragon turtle's shell?"

Lu Yao landed on the huge tortoise shell, looking at the mysterious patterns on it, and couldn't help but feel curious.

The moment Lu Yao stood on the tortoise shell, a mysterious feeling enveloped him. His understanding of martial arts deepened, and he gained some new insights into the Xuanwu True Skill.

This situation is quite incredible; an increase in martial arts comprehension is relatively normal.

However, Lu Yao had already cultivated the Xuanwu True Skill to a high level, yet he still managed to gain some insights, which was the most amazing thing.

An hour later.

Lu Yao snapped out of his comprehension state and looked at the tortoise shell beneath his feet with great satisfaction.

Just now, based on his own martial arts philosophy, Lu Yao comprehended something from the Xuanwu True Skill, and his strength improved once again.

If he were to face Di Shitian again, Lu Yao would be much more composed than before.

By combining the Radiant Thunder Sword Technique and the Mysterious Tortoise True Skill, Lu Yao comprehended a sword technique with extraordinary power.

"This tortoise shell is a valuable item; we must take it with us."

Lu Yao had a smile on his face and was in a very good mood.

This dragon turtle shell must be a treasure for enlightenment, extremely precious.

Although the dragon turtle's shell was enormous, it was clearly no challenge for Lu Yao.

The original space is now a small world, more than enough to hold a dragon turtle shell.

With a thought, Lu Yao took the dragon turtle shell, which had been buried there for countless years, into his primordial space.
