If everything went according to plan, the seven Dao Foundation experts would each get a share of the rewards without having to fight one another.
"Withdraw."
The seven Dao Foundation experts imdiately fell back. Now, without the subjugation of their seven Principles, the three Skeleton Heavenly Demons erupted at once, roaring ferociously. It seed that Lu Changsheng's Fire Principle alone could not subdue the three demons.
Powerful ntal shockwaves surged toward. Despite his Fire Principle supported by the Mind Space, and his Heart Sword True Mantra, and his incredibly firm will, Lu Changsheng still struggled to withstand the incessant attacks of the three Skeleton Heavenly Demons.
"He can’t hold on."
"Even with that powerful Fire Principle of his, there's no way he can withstand the ntal shockwaves from three Skeleton Heavenly Demons."
"It took all seven of us using our Principles together just to barely subdue those three Skeleton Heavenly Demons, and that was seven Principles! He thinks he can subdue them alone with a single Principle? Get real!"
"It won't be long before he asks for help, so get ready. Whatever happens, we can’t let those three Skeleton Heavenly Demons escape."
The seven Dao Foundation experts were all waiting for Lu Changsheng to make a fool of himself. When he realized he could not handle the three Skeleton Heavenly Demons by himself, they would have to step in. When that ti ca, the Skeleton Heavenly Demons would still be divided according to their strength.
The idea of taking all three demons for oneself was sheer folly. No one here was that strong.
Damn it! Lu Changsheng's in trouble!
Gu Nian was watching the whole thing closely. He too possessed a ntal secret technique, so he was not afraid of ordinary skeleton demons. However, Skeleton Heavenly Demons were a different story: without a Principle, the difference in strength was far too great.
Ugh, even if I got involved, I wouldn't really be able to help Lu Changsheng. If anything, I might beco a burden and distract him, making things worse.
In the end, Gu Nian could only hold himself back and avoid doing anything reckless.
All eyes were on Lu Changsheng, and one thing was going through everyone's mind: could he really hold on against the three Skeleton Heavenly Demons? After all, Lu Changsheng had openly declared that he would take all three demons for himself.
The situation looked dire to everyone watching, but Lu Changsheng's expression remained calm. He was aware that the three Skeleton Heavenly Demons had shaken off his Fire Principle.
As expected, one Principle isn't enough to deal with these guys.
Realizing that, Lu Changsheng unleashed his next move without hesitation.
"Divine Technique, Void Incineration!"
WOOSH!
The flas in his Mind Space instantly flared up, and the void distorted. A frightening aura swept through the area, and the towering flas seed capable of reducing everything in their path to ash.
"Is that... a divine technique?"
"I-Incredible... That's Void Incineration, a supre divine technique!"
"Even for a supre technique, what's with that insane power...? Has he already pushed it to Perfection?"
The seven Dao Foundation stared with their mouths agape. First it was a Fire Principle greatly enhanced by a powerful Mind Space, and now Lu Changsheng had just unleashed a supre fire divine technique that appeared to have reached Perfection. Who could possibly stand against such a combination?
Lu Changsheng himself could clearly feel the power of the flas increase tenfold, maybe even more.
WOOSH!
The three Skeleton Heavenly Demons let out a shrill screech before being swallowed by the raging flas. And in a few monts, their movent ceased altogether. Just like that, the demons had been burnt to death by Void Incineration.
Lu Changsheng made sure to stop Void Incineration before Skeleton Heavenly Demons were reduced to ash. He had to preserve their corpses in order to extract the three drops of essence blood he needed.
All done!
He swiftly extracted the essence into separate bottles and put them away at once.
The seven Dao Foundation experts could only watch helplessly as Lu Changsheng took the three drops for himself. They did not speak to stop him. They did not even move. They simply stood there in silence, staring at Lu Changsheng.
In fact, everyone did the sa. The entire Skeleton Mountain had suddenly fallen into an eerie silence.
"Who is this guy?!"
Eventually, the ordinary Dao Foundation martial artists snapped out of their shock and erupted into cries of astonishnt. Everyone here had witnessed sothing unbelievable, so naturally, their emotions surged.
"Incredible! Simply incredible! Such a powerful Fire Principle, and a supre fire divine technique at Perfection. This guy can't be just so random martial artist! But I don't think I've ever heard of him in the third layer."
"He seed to know Gu Nian from the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect. Gu Nian called him Lu Changsheng."
"Wait, Lu Changsheng? Surely not that guy...? No, I think it's really him! That disciple of the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect!"
"You an that Lu Changsheng from the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect, the one who dominated both the Immortal Dao and Martial Dao of his generation and ranked first on both lists? But wasn't Lu Changsheng still at the Divine Treasury Realm? Even if he forged a Dao Foundation, how long has it been? There's no way he could have comprehended the Fire Principle already."
"Exactly. I've heard of Lu Changsheng too. He's a true supre genius, an unmatched figure of his generation. But however talented he might be, it makes no sense for him to master the Fire Principle so fast."
"But he really does seem to be the Lu Changsheng we know..."
"Lu Changsheng has only just entered the Dao Foundation Realm, and yet he's already mastered a Principle, and not just any Principle, but one of the best offensive Principles out there. And on top of that, he's also pushed a fire divine technique to Perfection? Is this guy even human?!"
So people eventually recognized Lu Changsheng, becoming even more heated.
They could not believe they had crossed paths with that genius who had shaken the entire Ancient Region, the one who dominated both the Immortal Dao and Martial Dao of his generation. No one here cared that Lu Changsheng had accomplished all that while still at the Divine Treasury Realm. A genius was a genius, after all.
Everyone knew that a prodigy like that would eventually soar to the skies once they forged their Dao Foundation. However, it seed that Lu Changsheng had already soared after just a few months!
Lu Changsheng disregarded the heated reactions and walked over to Gu Nian. "Brother Gu, let's go."
Gu Nian was stunned just like everyone else, but he quickly ca to his senses and nodded. "Y-Yes, let's go..."
With that, Gu Nian and Lu Changsheng left Skeleton Mountain behind and returned to the camp of the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect.
Only after they reached the encampnt could Gu Nian finally breathe a sigh of relief. "Phew..."
Gu Nian had held himself back during the entire way back. But now that everything was over and they were back at the camp of the sect, he could no longer contain himself.
"Brother Lu, you've mastered the Fire Principle?! And you've also been practicing a supre fire divine technique?"
"Yeah, fortunately I managed to master the Fire Principle. As for the divine technique, Void Incineration, I think you must've heard of it, no? It's one of the divine techniques kept in the sect," Lu Changsheng explained openly.
Having mastered a Principle, Lu Changsheng was no longer weak in this third layer. He had managed to truly establish himself here, and as such, he no longer had to hide certain things or have reservations.
"I see... So you really did master the Fire Principle..." Gu Nian murmured with a sowhat troubled expression.
How long had it been? He still rembered when Lu Changsheng had first arrived at the Ancient Region Heavenly Sect's camp. Back then, Gu Nian proposed a sparring session.
In the end, Gu Nian was completely defeated in the clash of ntal secret techniques. But through that fight, the two of them got to know each other, and eventually, they beca friends.
But now, after only a few months, Lu Changsheng had actually managed to comprehend a Principle. Achieving sothing like that in such a short period of ti seed unimaginable, but Lu Changsheng had actually done it.
