At this mont, the Buddha Kingdom was extrely noisy.
All the older generation of demonic cultivators from various Demon Tribes had been mobilized, searching for the whereabouts of the Human Cultivator, aiming to kill him.
The life and death of Lu Qingshan tugged at the heartstrings of every Demon Tribe mber.
Everyone was watching to see when he would surrender, but no one had yet heard the news they wanted.
"This Human is really tenacious. He was clearly critically injured and on the brink of death when he broke through, yet he has managed to last so long under our relentless pursuit without being killed!" soone expressed admiration for Lu Qingshan's resilience.
"A lone Human Cultivator causing great havoc in our core King Realm, facing an inescapable net, and still cutting out a bloody path for himself. What kind of person is this? Have Human Cultivators beco so terrifying?" So younger, less experienced demonic cultivators wondered.
Isn't it said that the Asura Clan is a naturally born War Tribe? How co it seems far inferior to the Human Race?
"Do not panic. This ferocious one is indeed powerful, no doubt about it, but it is rely an exception; humanity can't produce too many like him!"
"Even among ants, there will always be one or two more formidable ones, but ants are still ants!"
Although Lu Qingshan had fought openly before, he had already used a Magic Artifact to alter his appearance, plus the sword he wielded at the ti was the Demon Suppressing Sword, a Life-bound Sword he had never displayed before the world.
Thus, the demonic cultivators accustod to identifying Sword Cultivators by their swords couldn't see through Lu Qingshan's identity even now.
A more significant reason was that inertia prevented them from even considering that Lu Qingshan might be a Sword Cultivator from his domain and they only thought about him as a Central Martial Domain Sword Cultivator.
But the more they thought about it, the less it made sense.
Because even as they went through all the Sword Cultivators in the Central Martial Domain with so fa, they couldn't find one that matched Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan was too outstanding, beyond ordinary reach!
"Maybe he's not a Sword Cultivator from the Central Martial Domain, but from another domain?" Finally, soone proposed a new line of thought.
Although this judgnt was bold, it was the largest possibility now.
"From another domain?"
"For example... the Eastern Domain Sword Sect."
Just as people who see a chicken imdiately think of a Kun, upon discovering an exceptionally outstanding Sword Cultivator, the first thing demonic tribes thought of was the Sword Sect.
"Lu Qingshan, Yu Canghai, Xue Wujian?" The three most notable male Sword Cultivators from the Sword Sect, and also the first suspects for the demonic tribes.
A Sword Cultivator with such combat power and skills couldn't have been previously obscure; they must have already shaken the world.
"The appearances don't match, but appearances can be disguised. The problem is the Life-bound Sword doesn't match either, although the techniques do bear so resemblance to Lu Qingshan's."
The Asura Clan had stood against the Central Martial Domain for millennia, and had never had direct contact with the Sword Sect. Furthermore, Lu Qingshan's rise was too swift, so their understanding of him was not deep.
Otherwise, just by the fact that Lu Qingshan displayed a Sword Domain, they should have recognized him and not remain indecisive.
"Shouldn't the biggest issue be, how could the Clan-Quelling Divine Arms of the Burning Moon Domain fall into the hands of a Human?"
"Why think too much? Once we capture him, all will naturally co to light." Finally, soone concluded the discussion.
While the demonic cultivators were speculating with suspicion, the chase that startled the Buddha Kingdom had reached a fever pitch.
Although the ability to conceal forms was unparalleled, it wasn't invincible.
It allowed Lu Qingshan to move like a nocturnal traveler when the enemy wasn't prepared, but under the demonic cultivators' Divine Senses, scouring every inch of earth, attempting to deceive was impossible.
The areas around the Burial Grounds were completely sealed off, and countless demonic cultivators scoured them.
Lu Qingshan could not leave and had to circle around within the limited region, constantly relocating and battling.
This situation persisted for a period, and Lu Qingshan's injuries worsened.
After evading another pursuit, gaining a brief mont of peace, Lu Qingshan chose to hide in a cave within a mountain range to quietly heal.
Ti was limited.
The power of Heaven and Earth from the Law Domain had been exhausted, but fortunately, Lu Qingshan still had Oblivion and pills.
Swallowing a handful of Healing Pills like candy, Qin Yitian appeared again, wielding Oblivion and striking Lu Qingshan with the Sword of Life.
A dense vitality instantly surged throughout Lu Qingshan's body, managing to control his injuries, though recovery wasn't simple.
Because this ti, his injuries were indeed quite severe.
While healing, Lu Qingshan also reflected.
The main reason he fell into such perilous circumstances this ti was because he applied his own thoughts to gauge the demonic cultivators' minds, not expecting them to be so ruthless, sacrificing countless spirits' lives just to force him out.
To gain sothing, one must give up sothing.
The Demon Tribe was overly willing to give!
This was a lesson.
However, despite the severe injuries, Lu Qingshan felt reassured, knowing that he wasn't in a situation of certain death; it wasn't even a life-and-death crisis, more like eight deaths and two lives.
Moreover, one life-preserving asure had always been in his grasp...
Netherworld Kanyu Map!
This place is already within the border, and the Crossing Worlds Divine Ability of the Netherworld Kanyu Map is not restricted.
As long as he finds a mont of brief peace like now, he can shed his body like a cicada at any ti through the Crossing Worlds Divine Ability.
This is his trump card—it's often said that he's a very steady person.
However, Lu Qingshan does not wish to leave just like that.
First, his experience has not yet been fully accrued.
From the Seventh Tribulation to the Ninth Tribulation, there are only three small ranks, yet the experience needed for elevation is even more than that consud from the First Tribulation to the Sixth Tribulation.
If he doesn't take advantage of this good opportunity to amass enough experience, Lu Qingshan will soon find himself in the awkward position of lacking experience.
Moreover, his actions have not yet created enough commotion.
He has only thrown the Buddha Kingdom into chaos but has not yet radiated to the front lines.
He must at least force an Asura King to retreat back to the Black Armor Domain to reach the goal of his trip.
In addition, these life-and-death battles are precisely the ones that stimulate potential the most; otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying "put to death and then co back to life."
Lu Qingshan can clearly feel that the countless new sword techniques he mastered over the past ten years are, amid the continuous fierce battles, like disparate precious materials thrown into an extre heat furnace for refinent, finally starting to fuse, ready to produce a new embryo.
—The sword is a technique of slaughter, and for it, killing is naturally the best refinent.
He does not wish to stop, wanting to use the power of demonic cultivators to force himself further.
Of course, there is one last reason...
Having been forced into such a pathetic state, how could soone like Lu Qingshan leave without seeking revenge?
...
Lu Qingshan grits his teeth, saying nothing, quietly regulating his breath, healing, and restoring mana.
Once his condition improves slightly, he uses Sword Control, feeling no attachnt to this hiding place, and escapes to another location.
And just half an hour after he leaves, enemies pursue him in this mountain range.
Not demonic cultivators from the Asura Clan, but from the Tuoba Demon Tribe.
Though not of royal lineage, the Tuoba Demon Tribe is a very powerful demon race within the Black Armor Domain, with many expert cultivators, and this ti they have deployed an ancient Demon Lord.
The ancient Demon Lord carefully investigates the cave Lu Qingshan once stayed in, using special thods to capture so traces and auras.
"He is rely a spent force; within two or three days he will be killed!" Through these traces and auras, he makes a judgnt, then sends word to the outside world to appease the people.
The several days' pursuit seems to finally be nearing its end?
......
Lu Qingshan is still fleeing, encountering several enemies, but none have been able to stop him, as he has counter-killed and escaped each ti.
With the strong recovery power from Silver Candle's Clear Rhy and his own deep foundations, Lu Qingshan's mana barely manages to sustain his combat.
However, his injuries are becoming increasingly severe.
Because he has no ti to recuperate, he can only watch as his injuries worsen.
"It's really frustrating," Lu Qingshan murmurs to himself.
Struggling and holding on despite his injuries for so long, he has never given up, but no turn of fortune has appeared.
"At most, two or three more days; if I still don't leave then, I might not be able to walk away anymore," he concludes, understanding he is nearing the end of his rope.
In this kind of utter predicant, is there truly any chance of a turnaround?
Even Lu Qingshan himself can't think of one.
Now, deep in foreign lands all alone, without allies nor favorable terrain, how can he overturn the situation?
Heaven's ti?
Lu Qingshan doesn't pin his hopes on this.
If the heavens are not siding with the Demon Race, that is fortunate enough for him.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, at that mont, an inexplicable golden light flashed briefly before Lu Qingshan's eyes.
"Seventh Tribulation Realm Advancent Mission: [When Ti Favors, All of Heaven and Earth Work Together; When Luck Departs, Heroes Aren't Free] has been completed!"
Tiny glowing words appeared, sparkling.
The golden light, like dawn.
