The scheme that Lu Xuan blown the cover of, especially the part when Australia was concerned, almost held the key to the success of the Myriad Demon Valley establishing a nation.

Without the element of surprise and the Australian government being amply warned and on guard, it was almost impossible to bring the schemes to fruition as easily as it had been planned.

Lu Xuan was the one who ruined all of the demons’ plans. That young ape was fuming deep down after thinking about what Lu Xuan had done, and he was no longer able to contain himself.

Clang!

The staff swept through the heavens at blinding speeds, so much so that the staff was already brought down on Lu Xuan’s body before everyone knew what had actually happened.

A golden dragon was conjured, shrouding Lu Xuan as a powerful Shield of Great Aether, which was what stopped that terrifying attack from the ape.

That staff attack packed tremendous force, yet it was still short of being able to break through Lu Xuan’s Shield of Great Aether.

The Shield of Great Aether that Lu Xuan clad around himself at the moment was ten times more terrifying than the original Shield of Vigor after all.

That conjured golden dragon looked extremely lifelike, unlike how it was back when the Shield of Vigor was used, which had been translucent and one would easily able to tell that it was a mere construct.

That golden dragon that Lu Xuan conjured at that time began to emanate the might inherent within a dragon. The dragon was looking so lifelike that every single scale seemed to be something of that of living beings, which glittered with a golden sheen under sunlight.

That young ape did not feel surprised after failing to smash that Shield of Great Aether that Lu Xuan conjured to pieces. He was able to see from the battle fought between Lu Xuan and Ao Fan before, that the man had demonstrated powers beyond that of the third tier of Divine Treasure Realm.

One could easily tell that Lu Xuan’s current level was that of one at fourth tier of Divine Treasure Realm.

As such, it was completely normal for that attack to not work on Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan quickly retaliated at that moment, flicking his wrist and pointed his finger at that young ape right away.

Everyone was only able to see that Lu Xuan had only extended a finger at the ape, yet things looked way worse than the man simply pointing a finger at him.

That simple finger-pointing attack was not even considered fast, yet it packed some kind of unspeakable might in it.

The attack felt like a mountain coming down instead.

Pfftt!

That finger attack punched through the ape’s shoulder right away, gouging a huge, bloody hole on the damaged shoulder.

While the attack seemed to have taken a long time to execute, it was actually done only in a split second.

What everyone was able to see was that not only was Lu Xuan able to block that rampaging attack from the ape, he was also able to counterattack in a split second.

That counterattack gravely injured that young ape.

That young ape continued to back away and looked rather pale. His hand was feeling so weak that he had almost dropped the staff he was holding.

The grimace on his face was unmistakable. While he had long known about just how terrifying Lu Xuan could be, it was not until he had taken on the man himself, that he truly learned knowing something so terrifying and having to fight something so terrifying, were two different matters.

Any attack that Lu Xuan could bring onto him could be potentially lethal.

The young ape backed away right there and then, intending to stay out of Lu Xuan’s reach. Yet, just when Lu Xuan attempted to give chase, that yellow-robed young man stood in Lu Xuan’s way.

“Who are you?” Lu Xuan took a look at that yellow-robed young man and asked, while wearing a cold smirk on his face.

“Huang Yuanfeng.”

That yellow-robed young man then answered slowly.

“Huang Yuanfeng?” Lu Xuan then recalled the intelligence that the Special Task Force gathered before. The Taichu Group was all raving about joining hands with those of the Myriad Demon Valley, and the one who made such a thing possible, was none other than the man before Lu Xuan’s eyes, the man who was named Huang Yuanfeng.

That man looked like some very capable young man who hailed from the clans and sects isolated from the world.

It took Lu Xuan only one look to know that the man was something who emerged out of that mysterious place, and there was no doubt about it.

“So, it is you who go about places, yammering about wanting to broker peace between humans and demons eh?”

Lu Xuan asked plainly.

Huang Yuanfeng frowned slightly and hated how Lu Xuan worded his efforts, as those words made it seem like he was some clown on a wild goose’s chase.

“You sure have guts daring to stand in my way. Tell me then, what gave you the guts to do so?” Lu Xuan’s plain, unfettered attitude got on Huang Yuanfeng’s nerves.

He did not like Lu Xuan all that much to begin with, seeing the young man before him to be only playing king of the world, due to not having someone truly powerful taking charge after all.

There was hardly anyone on Earth at the moment who was actually considered powerful, and it was due precisely to that, that Lu Xuan was able to reign supreme.

Lu Xuan’s attitude made him feel exasperated at how things on Earth were at the moment.

Lu Xuan, a native of the mortal world as it was at the moment, actually dared to mock him so relentlessly, and that thought made him feel rather frustrated.

“Sure, sure, I’ve long known just how insolent and boastful before I got here. My, my, I guess your reputation did precede you indeed.”

Huang Yuanfeng chuckled coldly and continued.

“It is indeed very rare for someone like you to emerge in the mortal world, so much so that you could be considered an unreal genius of some sort, but that’s only because you have yet to know those who are of true power. The way I see it, you’re beneath mentioning to begin with.”

“I’ve initially planned on taking you in alive for questioning, but judging from how eager you are to see to your own death, it’d only be fitting for me to oblige.”

Huang Yuanfeng smirked coldly and terrifying Spiritual Aether burst all around him at that instance like a storm sweeping all over the world.

Despite seeing how insanely powerful Lu Xuan was by judging from the other man’s demonstration of power, he did not back away one bit and showed not even a hint of fear at all.

Shoop!

Huang Yuanfeng closed his index and middle finger together and extended them, shooting out a blast of sword aura that was tens of meters long, looking as if a dragon of swords was howling in the air. That blast of attack bursting from Huang Yuanfeng’s fingers packed an unprecedented amount of might.

The space was frozen solid as the attack blasted forward.

He had only realized that the powers that he brought to bear at the moment far exceeded the two before.

Fourth Tier of Divine Treasure Realm!

That Huang Yuanfeng is at the fourth tier of Divine Treasure Realm as well!

That was deemed an unreal level of cultivation.

It was a level that one could almost claim to be invincible in the world at the moment.

It was due to such level of powers that he was absolutely confident of being able to best any being he encountered.

Only a person with ample personal power would be able to bring about a storm that would shock the world, in the current world where cultivators reigned supreme.

Boom!

That blast of sword aura tore everything in its path, which then went on to cut down Lu Xuan right away.

Countless watching the livestream were shocked to their cores. It seemed that the attack appeared right in front of Lu Xuan, as soon as they saw the attack came about.

Lu Xuan remained deadpan and kept his eyes completely still. He simply waved and brought about only a single martial art move—the Heaven and Earth Sleeve—and the incoming terrifying attack was completely shrouded and defused.

Booom!

That terrifying blast of sword aura disappeared without a trace in that one instant.

It seemed as if that extremely terrifying sword aura attack before never happened in the first place.

The attack simply disappeared without a trace.

Everyone blinked furiously, looking as if they had overlooked something or behaving as if they had been seeing things.

It made them doubt if that terrifying attack before had never happened in the first place.

Many Divine Treasure Realm fighters wore solemn, serious faces. They all believed that their eyes had not been fooling them, and what they saw was not some kind of illusion. There was only one explanation to what happened—Lu Xuan had wiped that sword aura attack away with that Heaven and Earth Sleeve.

The entire process looked smooth and unnervingly subtle.
