Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1767: 449: Da Luo Mountain, the Shocked Lu Changsheng! (part 2)

Furthermore, the stranger had forcibly evolved his "Black Dragon Codex" into the "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Technique." During the condensation of his [Undying Golden Body], Lu Ping’an’s great wilderness dragon spine had further integrated, sparking a mysterious and unknown metamorphosis within his undying golden body.

It appeared as though two distinct powers had entered a state of fusion, yet the merger remained incomplete.

Lu Ping’an himself was uncertain about these developments and required additional time to investigate the changes.

"This individual has completely reconstructed my Cultivation path into the 'Dragon and Tiger Fighting Technique' and the 'Nine Cicadas Undying Golden Body Force,' forming a Dragon and Tiger Dao Foundation and a Dragon and Tiger Golden Core..."

"Unless I am prepared to abandon this Dao Foundation and the benefits of the Golden Core to reset my Cultivation, utilizing this technique and the undying golden body in the future will inevitably draw the gaze of Da Luo Mountain. Furthermore, the manual he provided concludes at the Nascent Soul Stage. To acquire the subsequent stages, I will eventually be forced to seek out Da Luo Mountain..."

Quietly assessing his internal state, Lu Ping’an was well aware of Yu Tiansheng’s true motives.

The man intended to use him as a tool for vengeance against Da Luo Mountain.

As for the success of such revenge, Yu Tiansheng likely didn't harbor much optimism.

It was merely a final, desperate gamble played out in the closing moments of his life.

"If I encounter Da Luo Mountain in the future, I shall demand justice on your behalf."

Even though Yu Tiansheng had plotted to seize his physical form for a vendetta, Lu Ping’an himself felt no warmth toward Da Luo Mountain.

To eliminate Yu Tiansheng, they had manipulated loose cultivators from two different nations, resulting in widespread ruin and suffering.

Now that Yu Tiansheng had perished, his life extinguished like a flickering lamp, there was nothing left to debate.

Moreover, by assisting him in condensing the Immortal Golden Core and the Undying Golden Body during those final breaths, Yu Tiansheng had significantly bolstered his body refinement—a favor that Lu Ping’an acknowledged.

Lu Ping’an’s gaze shifted to a jade-colored ring lying nearby, and he beckoned it with a light gesture of his hand.

This was Yu Tiansheng’s storage ring.

Despite the owner’s passing, a formidable seal remained upon it, one that he could not hope to breach quickly.

However, according to the fragmented memories he had inherited, the man’s lifebound spiritual treasure had been destroyed during his flight. Most of the remaining treasures and heavenly resources had been consumed within this underground palace, leaving little of value behind.

Nevertheless, the memory transfer from Yu Tiansheng contained the locations of several hidden treasure caches.

It was common practice for loose cultivators and Sect members alike to establish multiple secret vaults, caching precious resources and heavenly materials as a safety net.

Such reserves allowed them to rebuild their strength rapidly should they narrowly survive a catastrophe.

Unfortunately, the majority of these caches were situated within Yu Country, a vast distance from Lu Ping’an’s current location in Wu Country; he neither could nor dared to journey there yet.

Given that Yu Tiansheng had been ambushed and brought to this state, Yu Country was likely on the verge of losing the conflict.

Appearing in Yu Country now, armed with the deceased's knowledge and displaying his specific Cultivation technique and spiritual body, would be an invitation for disaster.

Outside the underground palace, a figure clad in black robes suddenly felt a sharp jolt in his soul, realizing the restriction Yu Tiansheng had placed upon his spirit was dissolving like mist.

"What is happening!"

The figure’s face twisted in shock. There was no joy in this discovery; instead, a chilling dread filled his limbs and heart.

His master was supposed to be in the middle of a body-snatching process within the palace; the soul seal should not have just vanished.

Even if the possession had been successful and the master intended to release him, the seal would not have dissipated so abruptly.

The only explanation was that Yu Tiansheng was dead.

Yet, even if a Nascent Soul Spirit Body was in a weakened state, it was still a Nascent Soul entity; how could it be destroyed so easily?

Unless a Nascent Soul True Lord or a peak Core Formation expert with a specialized treasure for suppressing spirits had intervened, killing such a being was nearly impossible.

The only other logical conclusion was that the body-snatching had failed.

But the black-robed man found that impossible to believe.

A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, regardless of how potent their Third Rank Body Refining might be, should not have been able to resist the master’s soul invasion!

"Master!"

The black-robed man rose, his eyes filled with desperate hope as he shouted toward the depths of the palace.

However, what emerged from the shadows was a tall youth with hair as dark as ink. His posture was imposing and straight, his skin shimmering with a golden radiance as he lunged forward with a punch.

While Lu Ping’an was prepared to settle scores for Yu Tiansheng, he harbored no affection for the man or his subordinate standing before him.

This black-robed servant had slaughtered countless cultivators just to find a vessel for Yu Tiansheng.

He had even orchestrated the trap to capture Lu Ping’an and had caused a bloodbath in White Emperor City. There was no reason to show him any mercy.

"Boom!"

The force of the strike surged forward, a gale of immense power crashing toward the black-robed figure.

Though Lu Ping’an had not yet mastered the divine arts of the Core Formation stage, and his techniques had been converted into the "Nine Cicadas Undying Golden Body Force," he still possessed the foundation of Third Rank Body Refining and his lifelong mastery of Third Rank martial techniques.

"Pfft!"

Desperately, the black-robed man triggered his protective barrier and swung his sleeves, but the impact sent him tumbling backward as he sprayed a mouthful of blood.

"You... how is this possible!"

The White Wolf now knew for certain that Yu Tiansheng was gone; the possession had failed.

Worse, the youth before him had not only survived but had emerged with a stronger body and even greater mana.

Lu Ping’an offered no reply. He struck again, his golden Qi and blood roiling like a vast sea, nearly drowning the black-robed man in its intensity.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

The air whipped into a frenzy of fist shadows that tore through the black-robed figure’s defenses, the shockwaves causing the mountain to tremble and the cavern to collapse around them.

The White Wolf, his black robes tattered, spat out more blood. His physical frame was breaking, and his spirit was flagging; he realized that in these cramped quarters, he was no match for a body cultivator like Lu Ping’an.

He had already witnessed Lu Ping’an’s freakish strength and vitality before; now that the boy’s Cultivation had reached a new level, he was utterly outclassed.

"Swoosh!"

With a frantic series of hand seals, the White Wolf summoned a flying shuttle treasure. It enveloped him in a flash of light, and he vanished into the void to escape.

Seeing the attempt to flee, Lu Ping’an swung his fists, shadows of dragons and tigers swirling around him as he unleashed a divine force capable of shattering the very world.
