Chapter 1 The Beginning

The crowd in the arena fell silent, contemplating Lu Changsheng's words.

The restriction was too broad, as good as saying nothing at all.

"What exactly is Big Brother trying to do?"

The God of War was very curious when he heard this.

In his eyes, Lu Changsheng's actions were mysterious and unpredictable, leaving him completely baffled.

Since he knew about entering the Ancient God Palace, why share it? In the current situation, shouldn't he just go ahead?

"In that case, young friend, I see you meet all the requirements. Why don't you go up first?"

Someone stepped forward, came before Lu Changsheng, and spoke condescendingly, as if issuing an order.

This was a middle-aged man wearing a purple coiled dragon brocade robe, with a majestic and domineering square face, thick dark hair, and an aura of invincibility permeating his body.

Not only young prodigies had come to the Ancient God Mountain Range.

However, in the world of cultivation, one could not judge a person's true age by their appearance.

"The Lord of Tianxia City!" (Tianxia means "All Under Heaven".)

Someone exclaimed in shock, recognizing the purple-robed man.

"What? Xu Tianxiong, the Lord of Tianxia City? Wasn't it rumored that he was in seclusion to break through to Creation Realm?"

"He actually came to compete for this opportunity of Creation?"

"I heard that Xu Tianxiong suffered Dao injuries. If he can't break through to Creation, his life won't last long. It seems he couldn't break through, so he came to the Ancient God Mountain Range to seek opportunity."

"Breaking through to the Creation Realm is not that simple. Even if he didn't have Dao injuries, without supreme opportunity, it would be impossible to break through."

At this moment, many cultivators were in an uproar, having all heard the name of Xu Tianxiong of Tianxia City.

With so many people here, Xu Tianxiong's reputation was definitely among the top,

not some unknown small fry.

"This person is done for. Xu Tianxiong has always been extremely domineering. It seems this young man is in trouble."

Someone said, believing that Lu Changsheng had brought trouble upon himself by speaking out.

"Scram!"

Lu Changsheng uttered a single word, his voice soft, yet like a thunderclap.

He didn't expect there would be someone seeking death like this, coming to provoke him, so naturally he wouldn't be polite.

His words contained heavenly law, following his decree, with a loud rumble.

Xu Tianxiong, who exuded an aura of invincibility, was directly blasted away.

In an instant, countless cultivators were dumbfounded.

Even powerful figures like Di Yunxiao, Ying, and Lei Zun couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise in their eyes.

To repel Xu Tianxiong with a single word.

What kind of strength was this? This kind of power was too great, too terrifying, shocking.

One had to know that Xu Tianxiong was also famous on the Creation Rankings, and had broken through to the Great Luo Realm for who knows how long. Rumor has it that he was only one step away from the Creation Realm.

Only Wang Xiu and the God of War remained unfazed.

Both had been following Lu Changsheng and were very confident in him.

"Even if Xu Tianxiong has Dao injuries and his strength has declined, to repel him with one strike is still terrifying."

Di Yunxiao frowned, pondering to herself.

She knew Lu Changsheng was strong, but she didn't expect his strength to be like this. Just a simple word like "scram" held such power.

This made her curious about what force Lu Changsheng came from. Was it the Ancient God lineage?

"Courting death!"

Xu Tianxiong steadied himself and shouted, his aura surging, causing his robe to flutter, and his thick, dark hair to move without wind.

His eyes, like two divine lanterns, stared fixedly at Lu Changsheng, his heart burning with anger.

Although Tianxia City could not be considered a first-class force, it still had a considerable reputation in the Great Thousand Worlds.

And as the founder of Tianxia City, the Lord of Tianxia City, he was usually above billions of people.

But now he was actually rebuked like this.

How could he not be angry?

However, the young man before him could directly blast him away with a single word, which showed that his strength was extraordinary.

But even so, Xu Tianxiong was not afraid.

Because of his Dao injuries, he usually sealed and suppressed his strength, not unleashing it.

So he was careless just now, which was why this happened.

Although Lu Changsheng's strength was powerful and terrifying, he had his own confidence.

Boom!

Xu Tianxiong directly attacked, a Dharma seal striking toward Lu Changsheng. A jade seal appeared in the sky, its aura of unparalleled power permeating the firmament, shattering the space and seeking to suppress Lu Changsheng.

Wang Xiu, standing behind Lu Changsheng, frowned and looked at the God of War.

He saw the God of War standing with his hands behind his back, staring at Xu Tianxiong, his eyes revealing three parts sarcasm, three parts disdain, and four parts indifference.

This made Wang Xiu a little puzzled and wanted to know what was going on.

Why wasn't the God of War making a move?

But at this moment, before Lu Changsheng could even act,

a long spear flew out from the Ancient God Palace, directly piercing the jade seal.

Boom!

The jade seal suddenly exploded, shattering millions of miles of space, with fragments of laws scattering.

"Puh!"

Xu Tianxiong, like a cannonball, suddenly flew backward hundreds of miles, smashing into the ground, creating a huge pit, with dust rising into the sky.

"What's going on!"

"Could it be that one cannot fight in front of the Ancient God Palace?"

"But didn't that person just say 'scram'?"

Everyone's gaze fell on Lu Changsheng, with astonishment, doubt, and curiosity.

They wanted to know what was going on.

Just now, they felt that Lu Changsheng was talking nonsense, but in this instant, many people guessed that Lu Changsheng really knew something.

That was why he was completely unafraid of Xu Tianxiong.

As the person involved, Lu Changsheng was also a little confused.

What exactly was going on?

He clearly wasn't cheating.

But from when he casually said that the red-robed man was doomed,

and this Xu Tianxiong attacking him, before he could even act, the Ancient God Palace made a move.

What exactly was going on? Or was this how the rules were, just a coincidence?

Lu Changsheng felt a little puzzled and curious.

At this time, Xu Tianxiong flew up from the pit, bleeding from all seven orifices, with dense cracks appearing on his body, like a shattered piece of porcelain, extremely miserable.

He wanted to leave, not wanting to stay any longer.

The attack just now directly triggered the Dao injuries in his body, causing the injuries to erupt.

"Want to come and leave as you please?"

Lu Changsheng spoke indifferently, and a terrifying pressure appeared with a wave of his hand.

A giant void hand directly collapsed the space, suppressing Xu Tianxiong, who had just stepped out ten thousand miles. With a thud, he landed before him, covered in blood.

Everyone watched this scene, their eyes constantly changing.

"Why is he fine when he attacks?"

"Could it be that there are some rules inside?"

"Now that everything about the Ancient God Palace is unknown, it's best not to provoke this person."

Someone spoke out, showing great fear of Lu Changsheng, as well as fear of the Ancient God Mountain Range and the Ancient God Palace.

This made some people who were originally on good terms with Xu Tianxiong and wanted to mediate stop their thoughts.

The young man before them was extraordinary and could not be easily provoked.

"Walk up."

Lu Changsheng said, speaking in this way.

This was using the same methods against him.

Xu Tianxiong wanted him to walk up and try, so now Lu Changsheng would let him walk up himself.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Xu Tianxiong kept coughing up blood.

"Walk, or die."

Lu Changsheng said, his tone very calm.

But extremely domineering.

Two paths were placed before Xu Tianxiong, leaving him no choice.

Because walking up might have a glimmer of hope, but if he didn't walk, he would definitely die.

At this time, he couldn't care less about the regret in his heart, or whether he could swallow that breath.

In the current situation, stepping into the Ancient God Palace was his only choice.

Xu Tianxiong stood up, covered in blood, his flesh seeming as if it could shatter at any moment, and stepped onto the black stone steps.

Everyone watched this scene, wanting to know if anything would happen.

Xu Tianxiong walked very slowly, one step at a time, not knowing if it was because Lu Changsheng had said that these three hundred and sixty-five steps had to be taken one by one.
