Urban Invincible Overlord

After Lu Jianxing managed to escape from the brink of death using Nascent Soul Sword Control at maximum speed, he was several hundred meters away.

He was panting heavily, his heart still pounding wildly.

That was close!

If he had been just a little slower, his Divine Soul would have been completely extracted. It was hard for him to imagine that if Yang Fei suppressed his Divine Soul with a magic artifact, his soul would surely be scattered, leading to his complete annihilation.

Despite the lingering fear, Lu Jianxing felt a surge of boundless anger inside.

As a respectable mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he almost fell into a trap and was nearly overpowered by a mere Core Formation junior. If this were to spread, it would be utterly disgraceful.

In his hand appeared a dark red miniature tower, as if by magic.

This was his most powerful magic treasure, named the ’Six Harmonies Demon Suppression Tower.’

Though named for suppressing demons, it could actually subdue and annihilate all beings.

With this treasure, he had slain countless opponents at the same realm over hundreds of years.

He had even killed enemies slightly superior to him in rank.

Moreover, this treasure had a powerful defensive capability, able to ward off around forty percent of Divine Soul attacks.

Earlier, he was careless and hadn’t expected that young man to possess a Heaven-defying Treasure like the Soul Binding Rope. Now that he wielded the ’Six Harmonies Demon Suppression Tower,’ the young man wasn’t a match for him even with such treasures.

Confidently carrying the Six Harmonies Demon Suppression Tower, Lu Jianxing was about to attack Yang Fei.

However, at this very moment, Lu Guangyuan rushed towards Yang Fei.

A terrifying Domain Barrier expanded swiftly, instantly sealing off the region where Yang Fei was located.

Compared to Wang Yuanxiao back then, Lu Guangyuan’s Domain Barrier was greatly inferior in terms of coverage and overall pressure.

However, for Yang Fei, it was an unstoppable technique, a death trap.

Having escaped Lu Guangyuan’s attack earlier, Yang Fei indeed hadn’t intended to return.

But upon remembering that Jiang Yao was trapped by the Lu Family powerhouses trying to protect him, escaping without acting would be disloyal.

Furthermore, he recognized Lu Jianxing, the former adversary who had hunted him; he harbored a grudge.

Adding to that, Yang Fei’s cultivation had reached the peak of late-stage Core Formation, and thinking about the Heaven-defying Treasures he possessed, he returned instantly to this world and launched a surprise attack on Lu Jianxing.

Just as he was about to succeed, Lu Guangyuan interrupted, thwarting his efforts.

Although disappointed, Yang Fei didn’t want to continue fighting; he immediately attempted to communicate with the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl to escape, only to find that Lu Guangyuan’s Domain Barrier had been deployed, confining him.

Dammit!

Yang Fei again felt the constraining power of Domain Law; his heart filled with despair!

Not only was his body immobilized, but his Divine Sense couldn’t even be released from his Sea of Consciousness.

This technique had the dual effect of physically and magically sealing him.

It was simply Heaven-defying.

Ever since obtaining the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl, Yang Fei assumed he could secure invincibility.

Yet, the Domain Barrier of a Divinity Transformation Realm Master showed him the terrifying power of top cultivators in this world.

Domain Barrier was his only nemesis.

"Hmph, I thought you had some Heaven-defying skills, but without those treasures, this is all you can do." Lu Guangyuan flashed beside Yang Fei, glaring coldly at him.

Yang Fei felt his body tightly bound by a powerful force, unable even to move a finger, and his Divine Sense couldn’t be released from his Sea of Consciousness. He couldn’t activate the Soul Binding Rope or the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl.

In shock and terror, he even began to feel some regret.

Knowing that a Divinity Transformation Realm Master was present, he shouldn’t have acted recklessly.

The gap was simply too wide.

Even if Jiang Yao couldn’t escape, as long as Zhao Yunzhi remained alive, the Lu Family members shouldn’t dare kill Jiang Yao.

Yet, thinking of his family and friends trapped in the Shang Qing Sect, the bit of regret just forming in Yang Fei’s heart quickly vanished.

A man has things he should and shouldn’t do.

So what if he died?

His life wasn’t lived in vain, and if he must die, so be it.

In the distance, Jiang Yao was anxious upon seeing Yang Fei controlled by Lu Guangyuan.

A fierce look crossed his eyes as he burned a drop of Life Essence Blood, and momentarily, his battle intent surged, his aura expanding wildly.

Having consumed Genetic Liquid Medicine earlier, his long-standing bottleneck was broken, reaching the half-step Divinity Transformation Realm, just one step short of breakthrough.

Now, by burning a drop of Life Essence Blood, despite the post-battle weakened state, possibly requiring more time to achieve Divinity Transformation Realm,

At this crucial moment, if he couldn’t escape danger, whether he’d survive was uncertain.

Moreover, he must prevent Yang Fei from falling into enemy hands.

Burning the drop of Life Essence Blood, Jiang Yao’s Realm pressure rose to Divinity Transformation Realm status.

The two Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses from the Lu Family clearly felt enormous pressure, their expressions changed dramatically.

Lu Guangyuan, too, widened his eyes in shock at Jiang Yao.

In this state, Jiang Yao’s mana was no less than an early-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator; only his Divine Sense hadn’t formed into the Primordial Spirit Body.

Moreover, his understanding of the Space Law still lagged slightly, so his realm didn’t fully qualify as Divinity Transformation.

But under the current state, his desperate fight would make him incredibly difficult for an early-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator to suppress.

"Jiang Yao, is this worth it for that kid?" Lu Guangyuan queried with complex emotions.

Having reached peak momentum, Jiang Yao struck several blows, forcing open a slight crack in the Golden Lock Heaven-Trapping Array.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Jiang Yao instantly teleported, finally escaping the array’s prison.

The two Nascent Soul Stage fighters from the Lu Family, along with Lu Jianxing who returned to the scene, were simultaneously apprehensive towards Jiang Yao’s current desperation, not daring to take action.

They were well aware that Jiang Yao was in a desperate state; whoever acted first faced his fiercest strike, and they were uncertain about withdrawing safely with their combat power.

Especially with the ancestor-level Divinity Transformation Realm Master present, why take the risk?

Holding Qianyuan Sword, Jiang Yao felt his state almost indistinguishable from early-stage Divinity Transformation Realm, his morale boosted, glaring at Lu Guangyuan: "Lu Guangyuan, my ancestor is still alive, and I’ve freed myself from your constraints. As long as my ancestor and I live, the Lu Family will know no peace. Are you sure you want to lead the Lingxiao Sect to mutual destruction with us? If you release Yang Fei now and withdraw, I can overlook today’s events."

"Heh..."

Lu Guangyuan laughed coldly at Jiang Yao’s words: "Do you think burning your Life Essence Blood and breaking this array means you can rival me? Jiang Yao, you’re underestimating the gap between Divinity Transformation Stage and Nascent Soul Stage. You were close to reaching my level soon, but for that kid, you burned your Life Essence Blood; even if you survive this battle, returning to your peak will take decades."

Jiang Yao knew this well, but had no other choice.

"Lu Guangyuan, heed my last advice. Yang Fei is Master Wan’s closed-door disciple, deeply cherished, and Lord of Shifang City, Shen Wanjing considers him a brother. You still have a chance to reconsider. Even if you ally with Wangxian Sect, would they risk taking on Shen Wanjing and Wan Daorong for your sake? As long as those two live, how will you and the entire Qinghe County Lu Family find peace in the Cultivation World?"
