Chapter 377: Reaching the Pinnacle and Apostle Level!
This is actually the Heavenly Sword Palace!
This is really an answer that Lu En did not expect. The memories stripped by this mysterious witch turned out to be the battle between him and the Heavenly Sword Palace!
Or in other words, decades ago, this mysterious and powerful existence called the Emperor Witch was actually targeting the Heavenly Sword Palace!
But for some reason, the Heavenly Sword Palace became the Heavenly Sword Bureau, and promoted the establishment of the Yong Dynasty, becoming an official supernatural organization, while the Emperor Witch, even his name was erased, and became the behind-the-scenes promoter.
Lu En smelled the breath of conspiracy, but he was not interested in conducting an in-depth investigation of these old events. He was just curious about how the Heavenly Sword Palace defeated the Emperor Witch.
Because now in front of him, even the black dragon plus the other three awakened beasts are still no match for the Emperor Witch, and are completely crushed and at an absolute disadvantage.
You must know that the Emperor Witch's appearance now is still human and has not become a great witch. With this kind of strength, Lu En even thinks that the Emperor Witch has touched the threshold of the apostle level and is on the verge of a breakthrough.
In other words, the Emperor Witch used only one hand to beat these four powerful archbishop-level beings!
However, due to the powerful survival ability of the archbishop-level, the Emperor Witch can easily defeat them, but it is not so easy to kill them. This is also the reason why these four beasts have been defeated repeatedly, but they have fought again and again.
No one can kill anyone, and the competition is the patience of both sides.
However, from the perspective of the Emperor Witch, especially Lu En, who has inherited all the inheritance of the Emperor Witch, has a different view. The battle between the Emperor Witch and the four beasts is not so much a battle as a unilateral display of the other party's talents.
Under the pressure of powerful forces, these four beasts burst out all their potential and means, and then were selected by the Emperor Witch.
There is no doubt that he is choosing a target that suits his ancestor witch body. If you want to compare their strengths, who can compare with these gifted beasts?
And Lu En has long known the other party's choice. In comparison, the ability and strength of the three-tailed black dragon are the most outstanding among the four beasts.
As expected, it didn't take long for the Emperor Wu to attack, and directly restored the Great Wu's true body of tens of meters high, then grabbed the black dragon, and actually squeezed it into black gas, and then swallowed it alive!
Yes, without activating any ability, and without any preparation, the Emperor Wu just swallowed it directly, not only Lu En, but also the remaining three beasts were stunned.
Because this action is completely like seeking death, especially for the Great Wu who specializes in physical cultivation, once the physical body is damaged, it will immediately be the end of the body and soul. They don't have the means to control extraordinary power and materialize energy. Once they die, they are really dead.
The Emperor Wu's action is like opening the door to invite thieves, but whether it is Lu En or those beasts, they all underestimated the Great Wu's attainments in the physical body. As the master of the Great Wu Road, it can be said that he has reached the pinnacle of the Emperor Wu. He actually used his physical body to cooperate with the ability of the ancestor witch's body to forcibly create an effect similar to the physical furnace!
After the black dragon was swallowed by him, it did not enter the stomach of Princess Iron Fan, but fell into the Eight Diagrams Furnace of Taishang Laojun, and was quickly refined. The speed was more than a hundred times faster than Lu En's flesh furnace!
This time, it was like poking a hornet's nest immediately. The strange beasts that turned into stone statues around the palace woke up one after another. Counting the previous black dragon, there were as many as nine. Lu En even saw Tianqi, Tianyi, and Tianyin, three venerable existences who are now in charge of the entire Tianjian Bureau.
But even if they came together, they were still no match for the Emperor Wu. They could only barely support and retreat step by step. After refining the black dragon, the Emperor Wu's next target was Lu En's old acquaintance-Venerable Tianqi!
Of course, if it was swallowed by the Emperor Wu, there might be no current Tianjian Bureau. Just when Venerable Tianqi was grabbed by the Emperor Wu and wanted to do the same, something strange happened!
The gate of the Heavenly Sword Palace, which was originally tightly closed without even a gap, suddenly opened, and a black withered palm stretched out from it, with scales and nails tightly attached to the bones. As soon as it appeared, dense golden thunder emerged from the void and hit the palm!
It seemed that even the void could not bear the weight of this palm, and countless deep cracks emerged. Lu En saw that the face of the Emperor Wu changed for the first time, and his whole body swelled rapidly, turning into a terrifying giant like a mountain, and then flew out!
Of course, he was not willing, but was easily pierced in the chest by the opponent's finger, and then the huge body was blown away as blood gushed out!
Lu En's perspective also quickly retreated. Obviously, the Emperor Wu's perception was blocked in an instant, and even Lu En's ears seemed to have experienced it personally, and an indifferent and cold voice emerged.
"Get out!"
Huh!
The information contained in the memory came to an abrupt end here, and Lu En finally breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, his mind felt a sense of confusion.
The Emperor Wu was not killed by this blow, but he was also seriously injured. The most important thing was that his body was broken, and his combat power was greatly reduced. However, this was not the focus of Lu En's concern. The focus was on the palm that stretched out!
Apostle level!
This must be the power of the Apostle level. Only the Apostle level can easily defeat the almost invincible Emperor Wu. Only the Apostle level will be rejected by this world!
This pool of water is really getting deeper and deeper, making people's scalps numb!
Lu En grinned and thought of the three old shamans in the Tianjian Bureau, especially the Venerable Tianqi, who made it impossible for people to see even the slightest flaw. Now that he thought about it, perhaps when Lu En revealed his suspected identity as a great wizard, he was secretly feared, and when he was suspected of collecting forbidden weapons, the fear had even turned into murderous intent.
That's why they wanted to use the hand of the Yong Dynasty National Master to deal with him. Maybe it's not that they didn't realize that this was a trap, but that they specially found a trap and wanted Lu En to jump into it.
Lu En is now fortunate that he did not contact the Tianjian Bureau before, but acted secretly, otherwise it would be unknown whether these forbidden weapons could fall into his hands intact.
Moreover, Lu En had a vague guess that perhaps the so-called great catastrophe of heaven and earth decades ago was just the Emperor Wu targeting the Heaven Sword Palace, but they used some means to expand it to become an enemy of everyone. The Emperor Wu at his peak was naturally fearless, but after his strength was greatly damaged, it was hard to say.
Originally, Lu En planned to kill the Yong Dynasty's national teacher first, and then go to the Heaven Sword Bureau to make trouble. Now this idea is immediately dispelled. Who would have thought that in the Heaven Sword Bureau, there are not only several venerable-level beasts hidden, but even apostles in secret?
Especially now, Lu En has already felt that the world has gradually begun to relax its attitude towards the power of the apostles.
When the wave comes, the real behemoths seem to begin to surface. Lu En feels that there seems to be not much time left for him.
