As expected, not long after, an Ancient Realm aura surged from a certain place within the Lord City Master's manor.
The next moment, Ancient Dust's figure appeared before everyone.
"Congratulations on your Breakthrough to the Ancient Realm."
Lu Daosheng saw Ancient Dust and smiled slowly.
"Brother Gu, congratulations!"
"Congratulations, congratulations."
"Master, congratulations!"
Immediately, everyone also followed suit and offered their congratulations.
Hearing everyone's congratulations, Ancient Dust couldn't stop the smile on his face.
"This is all thanks to Lord City Master. If it weren't for Lord City Master, I wouldn't be where I am today."
As time passed, his gratitude towards Lu Daosheng grew deeper and deeper.
He often felt fortunate that he had met Lu Daosheng.
Undoubtedly, it was Lu Daosheng who changed his destiny.
Hearing this, Lu Daosheng smiled and said, "Opportunities are seized by oneself."
Just like that, Huang City perfectly resolved this crisis.
Of course, this was without Lu Daosheng and some other powerful experts making a move.
And this also made Lu Daosheng a bit more cautious.
Huang City's strength was still somewhat insufficient.
A truly supreme power cannot merely rely on superficial strength.
Behind the scenes, there must also be terrifying power capable of deterring enemies.
A moment later, everyone departed.
They went to prepare for the next defense.
And according to Lu Daosheng, they might very well launch a counterattack, after all, they couldn't just sit back and wait for death.
......
In a huge abyss somewhere in the Universe.
Here, there was not a trace of Life Qi, as if it were already the end of the Universe.
At this moment, faint, corrosive black Qi gradually seeped out from the abyss, accompanied by strange, heart-pounding sounds.
Suddenly, a figure appeared above the abyss.
Seeing the abyss in such a state, his face changed drastically.
"Retreat for me!"
With a charged strike, the man slammed his palm down into the abyss.
In an instant, the entire abyss began to shake.
However, the black Qi still did not dissipate; instead, it grew thicker and thicker.
Seeing this scene, the man's face was incredibly grim.
"Damn it, how, how could this be?"
And just then, a shrill voice suddenly came from within the abyss.
"Hehehe, you will not be able to stop the advance of our clan."
Hearing this, the man gazed solemnly at the abyss below, and the next moment, his face instantly lost all color.
He saw that at the bottom of the abyss, a hideous gap was constantly expanding.
And the endless black Qi was continuously gushing out from within it.
Buzz—
At this moment, a strange purple pupil suddenly appeared within the crack, staring at the man above the abyss.
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.
Without further hesitation, the man turned and ran.
Things had clearly gone beyond his control.
And just near the abyss, in the direction the man departed, there was a vast defense line, almost spanning the entire Universe.
It seemed to be defending against something.
"Are they, indeed, coming?"
Within the defense line, an old sigh slowly echoed.
And as this voice sounded, countless terrifyingly powerful experts rushed out from within the defense line.
Darkness descends, the Universe united, overcome this calamity together.
If victorious, the Universe is safe.
If defeated, the Universe perishes.
......
Somewhere in Tianxuan World.
In a deep, secluded alley.
"Run, why aren't you running, damn it, you little brat, I'll beat you to death today."
A burly man looked down at a skinny little beggar in the corner, his eyes full of ferocity.
Then, the big man directly resorted to punches and kicks.
Under the absolute suppression of strength, the little beggar had no power to fight back.
After an unknown amount of time, the big man seemed to have gotten tired of hitting, spat, and then left, cursing.
On the spot, the little beggar struggled to get up from the ground, then leaned against the wall again.
Blood continuously flowed from his mouth, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
He knew he was going to die.
But he really didn't want to die.
Why, why did this world treat him like this?
The little beggar's eyes filled with endless unwillingness as he looked up at the sky.
"I... I... refuse."
Enduring the severe pain in his body, the little beggar gritted his teeth and exerted force, actually standing up again.
However, the next moment.
Bang.
The little beggar directly collapsed onto the ground.
At the same time, more and more blood flowed out.
At this moment, the little beggar had clearly reached the limit of his Life.
His mouth opened, wanting to say something, but he could no longer make any sound.
"Do you want to live?"
Just then, a tall figure appeared before the little beggar.
The next moment, the little beggar miraculously regained some strength.
"Yes, I want to live, I don't want to die."
Lu Daosheng looked at the little beggar trembling before him; he saw many things in the little beggar.
Not only did he see the unwillingness in the little beggar's eyes, but he also saw the little beggar's strong will.
How strong was this will?
Lu Daosheng could clearly feel it even from his home.
And this was also the purpose of his visit here.
"I can save you, what can you give me?"
Lu Daosheng asked slowly.
Hearing this question, the little beggar immediately fell silent.
He truly had nothing left.
Seeing the little beggar's silence, Lu Daosheng seemed a little disappointed, then shook his head slightly and turned to leave.
And just then, the little beggar's faint voice sounded from behind him.
"I, I can give you a person who will never disappoint you."
"I will definitely do my best to carry out your instructions, please, save me."
By the end of his words, the little beggar's voice had gradually become choked.
Hearing this, Lu Daosheng stopped in his tracks, then turned around.
"Remember what you said today."
The next moment, a streak of light flashed.
The little beggar's injuries instantly healed, and waves of power continuously improved his Physique.
"Do you have a name?"
The little beggar was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "My name is Kong."
This name had not been mentioned for a very, very long time.
So long that he almost forgot his own name.
Hearing this, Lu Daosheng nodded and said, "I have now initially improved your Physique, making it possible for you to Cultivate."
Hearing this, Kong was instantly excited.
He knew that the person before him was definitely a legendary Cultivate Master.
He never thought that he, too, could finally Cultivate.
He used to dream of Cultivating so that he would never be bullied again.
But reality dealt him a harsh blow.
With his Physique, he simply couldn't Cultivate.
Coupled with long-term malnutrition, the twelve-year-old looked like an eight-year-old child.
He had no meat on his bones.
"Thank you, benefactor."
Kong knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Daosheng.
However, Lu Daosheng pulled Kong up.
The next moment, a world within a palm appeared on Lu Daosheng's hand.
"Inside, there are countless Opportunities. How much you gain depends on your own fortune."
"Remember what you said, that you won't disappoint me."
Hearing this, Kong's expression immediately became resolute.
"Benefactor, rest assured, I will definitely not disappoint you."
Immediately, Kong was directly sucked into Lu Daosheng's world within a palm.
One year in the outside world, a thousand years inside.
From this moment on, the life of this little beggar named Kong underwent a complete and dramatic change.
It's hard to imagine that countless years later, the number one expert under the Lord City Master of Huang City was once just a little beggar on the verge of being beaten to death.
