Just then, the high-pitched voice that had appeared twice before suddenly sounded again.

"The Penglai Wu Chao decree!"

"Within the span of a cup of tea, bring his head and be rewarded with one Big Longevity Pill and three chances for enlightenment in the Scripture Pavilion!"

With these words, the faces of the Grandmasters on the platform instantly changed, flickers of hesitation and conflict flashing across them.

Lu Yuan was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

Of course, compared to the potential casualties among their Grandmasters, the Penglai Wu Chao clearly valued their own reputation more. The longer this dragged on, the harder Lu Yuan slapped Penglai in the face. The Penglai Wu Chao definitely wouldn't let him continue his provocations.

"Well, well, well!"

Unable to contain his laughter, Lu Yuan echoed the high-pitched voice loudly, "The Penglai Wu Chao truly are generous. Then I cannot be stingy either! Whoever takes my head, I will personally add a reward of one Big Longevity Pill—oh no! As long as you make a move, each of you gets one! Plus, a lifetime VIP card for the Scripture Pavilion!"

After he finished speaking, a Grandmaster who was clearly not the sharpest, slow to react, asked with a dazed expression, "Is this true or false?"

Lu Yuan suddenly appeared in front of the man, winked at him, and reached out with a chuckle, "Of course, I'm just joking with you, fool."

BOOM!

The dark-gold 'Elephant Hoof' ripped through the air, unleashing a deafening, thunderous sound. It instantly shattered the unsuspecting fool's Power Field and his Protective Gang Qi, sending him flying.

With this "divine assistance" from the Penglai Wu Chao, the Grandmasters' delaying tactics crumbled. Gritting their teeth, they charged at him once more.

"Plum-breaking Hand!"

An elderly Grandmaster extended his fingers as if weaving through flowers. Crisscrossing Universe Qi between his fingers carried an intense aura of annihilation as he grabbed at Lu Yuan's throat and eyes.

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, his pupils reflecting the opponent's dazzling, bewildering moves.

In his mind, countless sparks of insight rapidly wove together like threads.

CLINK, CLINK, CLANG—

The old Grandmaster's fingers struck Lu Yuan's body, setting off waves of dark-gold ripples.

Before he could be shocked by Lu Yuan's terrifying physical defense, Lu Yuan's fingers had already spread wide, executing an equally bewildering series of finger techniques. They tore through the air, leaving trails of brilliant, beautiful dark-gold light.

"God Elephant Broken Plum!"

His fan-sized hand directly tore through and smashed the old Grandmaster's Power Field and Protective Gang Qi, sending him flying like a broken sack.

Lu Yuan had just dealt with the elderly Grandmaster when a deep, terrifying howl sounded from his side.

He turned to look. In a trance, it was as if he saw a colossal log hurtling toward his face.

He shook his head. The vision disappeared, revealing a Grandmaster with an indifferent expression, throwing a punch at him.

"Siege Hammer!"

This fist technique seemed to be created in imitation of the terrifying might of an ancient siege hammer striking a city gate.

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up; he felt this killing move was a perfect match for his God Elephant Sect martial arts.

BOOM—BOOM, BOOM—

Lu Yuan withstood the blows of four or five Grandmasters. Dark-gold ripples frantically spread from his body, and the fifty-meter-tall, four-armed Elephantman phantom above his head seemed to waver slightly.

He paid it no mind, however, laughing heartily as he raised his arms.

"God Elephant Siege Hammer!"

As this fist technique was unleashed, the colliding dark-gold 'Elephant Hooves' seemed to grow even thicker.

The Grandmasters facing his two fists felt as if they saw a colossal dark-gold siege hammer, dozens of meters thick and of unknown length, howling as it descended from the sky.

RUMBLE, RUMBLE—

The terrifying pressure blasted through the Grandmasters on either side. Several Grandmasters who had closed in on Lu Yuan's flanks were sent flying, vomiting blood, as though struck head-on by a truck weighing tens of tons.

But Lu Yuan was given no chance to breathe as more Grandmasters swarmed him.

The battle had reached this point. The Penglai Wu Chao had applied pressure three times in a row, and the Grandmasters were now thoroughly incensed. Their eyes bloodshot, they recklessly tried to wear him down and deplete his energy.

This was exactly what Lu Yuan wanted.

The greater the pressure, the louder his five viscera vibrated, the faster his qi and blood flowed, and the more rapidly his Spiritual Power transformed. Qi and blood were constantly generated within his limbs and bones; his stamina and strength were inexhaustible. His mind raced, inspiration erupting.

It was like a mirror being polished, growing brighter and brighter until its radiance surpassed even the sun in the sky.

The two-headed, four-armed Elephantman phantom hovering above Lu Yuan's head continuously compressed, shrinking in size. His aura, however, grew increasingly powerful, soaring upwards like an immense column of wolf smoke, threatening to envelop the entire platform.

His power and speed were increasing with every passing moment.

The Grandmasters besieging him had also become ruthless, each unleashing their most powerful hidden techniques and killing moves. Countless techniques and illusions flashed before Lu Yuan's eyes, all of them being absorbed into his own martial arts system.

Lu Yuan felt increasingly invigorated as he fought. His qi and blood churned, and his aura was like a tsunami.

His arms whirled like chariot wheels, deflecting the killing blows and ultimate techniques of one Grandmaster after another, all while laughing boisterously, "Good, good, very good! All of you are excellent nourishment for my achievement of the Supreme Path! When I break through to the Grandmaster realm, each and every one of you... will all be rewarded!"

"God Elephant Sect. Taming-the-Ten-Tigers!"

With a low shout from Lu Yuan, his aura manifested ten colossal tigers that charged out in all directions, immediately forcing back the surrounding circle of besieging Grandmasters.

One of them, his expression shocked, blurted out, "What is your relationship with Xu Weiguo of the Taming Tiger Sect?"

Lu Yuan grinned. "Take a guess?"

Then, with a BOOM, he slapped the man, sending him flying.

Suddenly, the sound of surging water, crane cries, and snake hisses reached his ears.

Lu Yuan abruptly turned his head and raised his hands, with exquisite precision catching a claw in one hand and a fist in the other. A vision of coiling snakes and cranes flashed before his eyes and vanished.

Lu Yuan focused his gaze and saw that the one whose hands he had caught was a middle-aged man with black hair, his face a mask of terror and shock.

His eyes instantly lit up.

"Cai Huazhang of the Snake Sect?"

"I almost forgot about you."

Lu Yuan shook his arms, and the terrifying force made the middle-aged man in his grasp tremble violently and go limp. He swung the man around, turning to face the area below the platform.

His gaze locked onto a figure below that had been standing still for a long time. He laughed loudly and said, "Liu! Your opponent has arrived! Catch!"

With that, he powerfully threw the middle-aged man in his hands downwards.

"God Elephant... Sphere Toss!"

Like a cannonball, the black-haired middle-aged man was flung out by Lu Yuan, smashing into the ground below with a BOOM and creating a huge crater.

At the edge of the crater stood Master Liudao Yuan, looking somewhat dazed.

At that moment, everyone on the vast white plaza—from all the various sects and factions to the onlookers—was stunned. The entire plaza fell deathly silent, the only sound being the frequent GULP, GULP of people nervously swallowing.
