The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

The Yue Emperor unleashed a terrifying aura, resembling a savage and ferocious beast.

"A mere Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator dares to speak so arrogantly?"

Lu Yao sneered. Of course he knew that the Yue Emperor was bluffing, and his trump card was probably just that avatar of his.

"Hehehe! I'll make you regret stepping into this palace. Be a good meal for me."

The Yue Emperor gave a sinister smile, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant, like a ghost.

"Ice Armor!"

Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly, and a burst of azure spiritual light erupted, instantly condensing into a set of ice armor on his body.

"boom!"

A loud bang rang out as Yue Huang slammed his fist into Lu Yao's condensed ice armor. The force was so great that it sent countless ice shards flying from the ice armor, and cracks appeared all over it. Lu Yao quickly retreated.

Lu Yao's expression hardened. He hadn't expected that the Yue Emperor had also cultivated a body-refining technique, which, combined with his baleful aura, made him extremely swift.

No wonder he was able to instantly kill several early Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in Huangfeng Valley in the original story.

Lu Yao knew he couldn't be careless; the Yue Emperor still had the Blood Spirit Diamond and the Black Blood Blade unused, so he had to go all out.

"Thunder Soul Pearl!"

Lu Yao summoned the Thunder Soul Pearl, unleashing countless bolts of lightning to prevent the Yue Emperor from getting close again.

"Lightning magic? No wonder it could defeat the ice demon."

The Emperor of Yue appeared to Lu Yao's side, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes as he looked at Lu Yao.

"Thunder Prison Barrier!"

Lu Yao gave a soft shout in his heart, and countless deep purple lightning bolts suddenly erupted, instantly enveloping the Yue Emperor.

The terrifying lightning bolts enveloped the area, severely restricting the Yue Emperor's movement.

"Looks like I underestimated you."

The Yue emperor remained calm and composed in the face of this predicament.

"Black Fiend Blood Force!"

The Yue Emperor unleashed a burst of blood-red light, forming a crimson shield that enveloped him and directly blocked the raging lightning.

Then Yue Huang's figure disappeared again, and he quickly attacked Lu Yao, with a giant hand wrapped in blood-red baleful energy slamming towards Lu Yao.

"Ice Armor! Ice Blast!"

Lu Yao instantly unleashed two Foundation Establishment level spells, causing the shattered ice armor to condense again, while countless ice spikes suddenly exploded around Emperor Yue.

"boom!"

The explosion of the mysterious ice caused Emperor Yue's expression to change, and he quickly condensed a blood-red shield.

A cloud of icy mist enveloped the Yue Emperor.

Suddenly, a blue figure burst into the Thunder Prison Barrier and attacked Lu Yao.

"I was on guard against you."

Lu Yao's lips curled up slightly. How could he not know that the Yue Emperor had hidden an avatar?

"cut!"

Lu Yao turned around immediately, and a gray talisman appeared in his hand. It was the flying sword talisman he had obtained from the Golden Light Master.

A gray sword light flashed by, and under Lu Yao's powerful magic, the gray sword light revealed its sharpness, piercing through the suddenly appearing blue-robed man in the blink of an eye.

"You were prepared?! How could you possibly know I was there?!"

The man in the blue robe looked at Lu Yao in disbelief. He hadn't expected Lu Yao to have such a hidden trick up his sleeve and to have been on guard against him all along.

"There's no other way, the plan has to be moved up. You wretched brat! I'll tear you to pieces!"

The Yue Emperor approached the heavily wounded man in blue robes, his eyes blazing with boundless fury.

This blue-robed man was none other than the incarnation of the Yue Emperor, capable of condensing the Five Elements Blood Condensation Pill for him, and also a trump card that could be refined at the last moment to further enhance his cultivation.

Unexpectedly, he was severely injured and on the verge of death by Lu Yao as soon as he came out. As a result, he had no choice but to absorb and refine this external avatar in advance.

Originally, if Emperor Yue had cultivated to the late Foundation Establishment stage, this avatar would have naturally advanced to the late Foundation Establishment stage as well. At that time, by absorbing and refining it, he could have used the five Five Elements Blood Condensation Pills to break through to the Core Formation stage in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, Lu Yao ruined all of this.

The blue-robed man was enveloped in a blood mist, which he channeled into the Yue Emperor. At the same time, countless baleful energies condensed around the two of them, instantly forming a blood cocoon that enveloped them.

"Shall we refine it?"

Lu Yao's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately understood that the Yue Emperor had begun to transform into a demon while absorbing the blue-robed man's life force.

At this moment, Lu Yao was also hesitating whether to retreat, since after Yue Huang absorbed everything, his strength would definitely increase significantly, and he might even advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

With the added benefit of its demonic transformation state, it will definitely be extremely difficult to deal with.

"Since spells and magical artifacts can't break your blood cocoon, I'd like to see if you can withstand a mental attack!"

Lu Yao's expression shifted slightly, and a jade mirror appeared in his hand; it was the Yata Mirror.

A golden-blue light burst forth, shooting directly towards the Yue Emperor's blood cocoon.

"call out!"

The light pierced directly through the blood cocoon and entered it.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

A painful scream came from the blood cocoon, and at the same time, the blood energy on the cocoon began to flicker erratically, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Soon the blood cocoon burst open, revealing the Yue Emperor inside, who was clutching his head and looking pained.

"Damn it! You actually ruined my progress to the late Foundation Establishment stage! I'm going to kill you!"

The Yue Emperor endured the excruciating pain in his mind, his eyes filled with savagery.

Lu Yao interrupted the absorption of his external avatar, causing him to fall just short of the late Foundation Establishment stage, which nearly made Emperor Yue vomit blood in anger.

Two small bumps appeared on the forehead of the Yue Emperor, as if a pair of horns were about to hatch. At the same time, a sharp short tail grew from his back, indicating that he had completely entered a demonic state.

"Blood Spirit Diamond!"

Suddenly, Emperor Yue moved his finger, and a beam of blood-red light burst forth, shooting towards Lu Yao.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yao immediately entered the Origin Space and reappeared in the same spot two breaths later.

The Blood Spirit Diamond was extremely powerful, even top-grade defensive magic artifacts couldn't withstand it. Defensive talismans might be a waste, but Lu Yao didn't have any, so he directly used the gap when returning to his original space to dodge the Blood Spirit Diamond's attack.

"What kind of spell is this!"

Emperor Yue's expression changed. Lu Yao vanished instantly, directly dodging the Blood Spirit Drill, which caught him completely off guard.

This Blood Spirit Diamond is a one-time attack technique that he refined using his Blood Refining Technique, combined with malevolent energy and essence blood. Its power is extraordinary.

"Thunder Arrow! Thunder Tiger!"

Lu Yao wouldn't give the Yue Emperor any time to breathe, and immediately unleashed two Foundation Establishment spells.

Lightning flashed, and a lightning arrow shot towards Emperor Yue, followed closely by the lightning tiger that had been conjured.

Lu Yao remembered that in the original story, the Yue Emperor had two Blood Spirit Diamonds. To prevent any accidents, Lu Yao immediately started a spell bombardment. He wanted to use his magic power, which far exceeded that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, to suppress the Yue Emperor.

"Frost Spell! Dark Lightning Bolt! Ice Blast..."

Foundation Establishment level spells were unleashed one after another, directly engulfing the Yue Emperor.

After activating more than twenty Foundation Building spells in succession, Lu Yao finally stopped.

The area where the Yue Emperor once stood was now a scene of devastation, the ground bearing the marks of lightning strikes and frost damage.
