Chapter 595
Infiltrating the Treasure Vault
They bite anyone they see, their sharp fangs easily tearing through a cultivator's protective aura and ripping a living person to pieces.
They dismantle any defensive formations they encounter, their thick claws and massive bodies slamming into the various defensive arrays on the city streets, producing crisp cracking sounds.
Chaos City, once a bustling and orderly trading mecca, was transformed into a bloody hell in the blink of an eye within just a few breaths.
"It's a chaotic beast tide! The city walls have fallen! The eastern city wall has fallen!"
"The Ancient Void Dragon! Heavens! It's the Ancient Void Dragon! This is a king-level beast at the peak of the Immortal Lord realm! Run!"
"Help! My leg!"
On the streets, the immortals fled in panic, their shrill screams, desperate cries for help, and the clanging of magical artifacts mingling together, soaring into the sky.
The guards from various factions and the usually high-ranking retainers of the Origin Auction House disregarded everything else and roared as they urgently took to the air.
Multicolored magical lights shone in mid-air, and magical artifacts, trailing long flames, crashed into the surging black beast tide like a meteor shower, engaging in a fierce battle with the frenzied ancient beasts.
Blood rained down from the sky like a storm, staining every inch of Chaos City red.
Inside the VIP box, the atmosphere was equally tense. Immortal Lord Honglian and Immortal Lord Taiyin stood on either side of Lu Yuan, looking at the tragic scene outside through the crystal wall. Both of their beautiful faces showed solemn expressions.
A Primordial Ancient Dragon at the Perfected Immortal Lord level—this would be an absolutely devastating disaster.
This level of king beast possesses an incomparably powerful physical body and is born with control over the laws of space. Even within the Primordial and Creation factions, it is a formidable existence. Ordinary late-stage Immortal Lords would perish if they were to face it with the slightest carelessness.
"Husband, should we lend a hand?" Immortal Lord Red Lotus turned her head and asked Lu Yuan. As her voice fell, a raging Red Lotus Karmic Fire burst into flames on her graceful body with a "boom." The dark red flames exuded a terrifyingly high temperature that could burn away all the sins in the world, scorching the air in the private room until it was slightly distorted.
A fighting spirit surged in her beautiful eyes, clearly indicating that she was ready to rush out and confront the Ancient Void Dragon at any moment.
Although the Taiyin Immortal Lord did not speak, a layer of bone-chilling Taiyin cold air had already spread around him, and under the baking of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, a thin layer of frost still formed on the ground.
However, faced with this cataclysmic disaster, Lu Yuan showed no panic whatsoever, nor even a trace of pity.
He looked out the window at the rampaging Ancient Void Dragon, a cold and calculating smirk slowly creeping onto his lips.
"Help?" Lu Yuan's voice was calm and even, yet it carried a chilling rationality: "We're here to buy goods, not to be saviors."
Lu Yuan completely ignored the cries of the cultivators dying tragically in the city, and paid no attention to the auction house's retainers who were fighting desperately.
He slowly withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes slightly, and his mind instantly sank into his body.
Within his body, the incomparably profound and heaven-and-earth-creating "Otherworldly Freedom Technique" began to operate at an extremely rapid pace!
"He who transforms freely will be reborn in the next life."
Lu Yuan gave a low shout in his heart. As the technique was activated, the air around Lu Yuan suddenly began to twist and ripple violently, as if a pebble had been thrown into the water.
A mysterious interplay of time and space laws unfolded, and at the center of that distorted space, a phantom began to slowly coalesce.
The phantom was initially just a blurry outline, but it quickly materialized after only half a breath.
As the light faded, a figure that looked exactly like Lu Yuan, with even the exact curve of his hair, stood quietly beside him.
This reincarnated body not only possesses the exact same appearance as Lu Yuan's original body, but what's even more terrifying is that it also exudes the powerful cultivation fluctuations of a late-stage Immortal Lord! This reincarnated body perfectly inherits all of Lu Yuan's combat awareness and all his cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities; it's practically another living Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan opened his eyes and looked at his reincarnation before him without uttering a single word.
With a flick of his wrist, he took out a completely black cloak from his storage space, one that showed no signs of magical energy.
This is a top-tier concealment cloak that can perfectly block divine sense detection and even shield against the perception of heavenly secrets.
Lu Yuan casually tossed the cloak to his future self.
"Go to the treasure vault." Lu Yuan issued the command directly into the mind of his future incarnation using his divine sense.
The reincarnated body expressionlessly accepted the cloak, spread its arms, and draped the jet-black cloak over itself.
The moment the cloak was donned, the aura of his reincarnation was completely concealed, and he seemed to blend into the surrounding shadows, transforming into an almost imperceptible shadow.
Without making a sound, Lai Shishen strode directly toward the wall of the private room.
The moment his body touched the wall, it rippled like water, and he actually passed right through the wall covered with defensive array patterns, rapidly diving towards the poorly defended underground vault of the Origin Auction House.
Watching his reincarnation depart, Lu Yuan's true form turned around and looked at the two women, Honglian and Taiyin, who were already poised to attack.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go out and stretch our muscles. Remember, the more noise we make, the better."
Lu Yuan said something indifferently, then, with Honglian and Taiyin, he slowly pushed open the door of the private room and walked out of the auction house.
At this point, the streets outside the auction house had completely turned into a battlefield.
Amidst the ruins, there were mutilated corpses and a pungent smell of blood everywhere.
Lu Yuan and his two companions did not deliberately conceal their presence. Instead, they deliberately revealed their Immortal Lord level status without reservation on the streets outside Chaos City, where ancient beasts were most rampant.
Their powerful aura, like a beacon in the darkness of the battlefield, instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding ancient beasts.
"roar."
With a few deafening roars, several chaotic giant apes, each the size of a small mountain, suddenly turned their heads and stared intently at Lu Yuan and his companions.
These chaotic giant apes were all at the early stage of Immortal Lord cultivation. Their bodies were covered with black hair like steel needles, and their thick arms were covered with sharp bone spurs.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and they spewed foul-smelling white breath. With their thick legs, they crushed the buildings along the way, and with their arms covered in bone spurs, like pillars supporting the sky, they swung them down hard towards Lu Yuan and his companions with a howling wind!
Faced with this overwhelming attack, Honglian and Taiyin's eyes turned cold. They were about to unleash their magic to kill these beasts.
"I'll do it."
Lu Yuan suddenly stretched out a hand and waved to stop the two women from moving.
