Chapter 468 Devastated
Faced with an irresistible enemy, many aristocratic families began to encourage childbirth and reproduce more humans to deal with the greedy Xuanwu monster and the monsters behind it.

Before, many aristocratic families cursed the high-level officials of the Immortal Dynasty, especially Feng Qi, for being cold-blooded and ruthless. He took the initiative to become a breeder of monsters and promoted the plan of reproducing humans.

But now they don’t say that anymore. They know clearly that if they don’t want the human race to be exterminated, this is probably the only way to continue the human bloodline.

Unless Lu Changjing can come back one day and possess strength that surpasses the Xuanwu monster and the monster behind it, it will be possible to turn the tide and save the human race from extinction.

More and more human beings have learned the truth about reproduction and survival, and the entire human race has become increasingly chaotic, yet they are powerless to do anything about it.

Although many people were still clamoring for Feng Qi and the top leaders of the Xian Dynasty to mobilize the Zhoutian Xingdou formation and the Dinghai Xuan formation to destroy the Xuanwu monster, it would be easier for Feng Qi to deal with it without the interference of the aristocratic families.

However, Feng Qi and the top leaders of Baiyujing also knew that as time went by, no one knew what kind of accidents would happen. Even if they stayed in Baiyujing, with the protection of the Zhoutian Xingdou Array and the Dinghai Xuan Array, they would not be so safe.

Once targeted by the Xuanwu monster, Baiyujing will inevitably be destroyed. They must plan ahead and prepare enough backup plans as much as possible.

Many aristocratic families are also looking for ways to survive, even at the cost of sacrificing their own clansmen. Some spineless people are even thinking of surrendering to the Xuanwu monster and becoming its slaves to avoid being eaten by it.

Unfortunately, this Xuanwu monster was quite arrogant. It was not polite at all to these spineless people. It didn't even pay any attention to them and just swallowed them directly.

For the Xuanwu monster Wu Zhongdi, all the human beings on Chang'an Island are its food. How could it possibly negotiate with its own food?

If you want to eat, come and eat. If you don’t want to eat, don’t eat. Whether it’s human or other races, they are all just food.

Just like humans in the previous life, how could they negotiate with the chickens, ducks, fish and sheep they raised? For Wu Zhongdi, although the various ethnic groups on Chang'an Island were not raised by it, they belonged to it.

It's almost the same principle. Those who think about negotiating with Wu Zhongdi will only die faster.

Seeing how ruthless Wuzhongdi was, many aristocratic families, wealthy families, and sects... stopped thinking about it and started trying every possible way to save their lives. Some tried to hide deeper, some were still looking for ways to drive away and kill the Xuanwu monster, and some had already given up and started to live a life of debauchery...

The Chang'an Immortal Dynasty, which was once prosperous and stable, became fragmented in just a few months. Faced with the world-destroying disaster brought by the Xuanwu monster, the human race here has been shattered.

At this time, Lu Changjing returned to Chang'an Island. Although it was not at the most critical time, it was quite timely. At least Bai Yujing and her loved ones had not been harmed yet.

After understanding everything, Lu Changjing was about to go to Baiyujing when he suddenly realized something and a sneer flashed across his lips. It was really timely.

He had originally thought about meeting his lovers before considering how to deal with the Xuanwu monster. However, when he was about to leave, he found that the Xuanwu monster had arrogantly come to Chang'an Island again, selected a city, and was ready to devour hundreds of thousands of people as food.

Needless to say, this Xuanwu monster is Wu Zhongdi, the world-destroying demon that has left the entire Chang'an Island helpless, and has devoured more than 100 million humans.

The Chang'an Immortal Dynasty, which was peaceful and stable a few years ago, was devastated by this black tortoise monster in just a few months. If Lu Changjing had come a few years later, no one knows what would have become of the entire human race. Even his relatives, friends and love might have been harmed.

Lu Changjing was quite grateful at this moment. Fortunately, he came back in time and did not let the Xuanwu monster succeed. However, the fear in his heart still surged like a tide, making him hate the Xuanwu monster to the extreme.

At the border of the Chang'an Immortal Dynasty, Wu Zhongdi was preparing to select a border city to have a good feast.

However, they were surprised to find that many border cities were empty, and even those that were not empty did not have a large population.

With a frown on his face, Wu Zhongdi crossed the border directly and rushed towards the depths of Chang'an Xian Dynasty, ready to taste the warriors in the depths.

The higher the level of the warrior, the chewier they are. I have eaten a lot of tender humans before, and it is time to try these chewy humans.

They quickly selected a city with a population of several hundred thousand. Wu Zhongdi was just about to go down and have a big meal when he felt dizzy. It was as if someone had taken away a wisp of his soul.

At this moment, it didn't even see the enemy, but a wisp of its three souls and seven spirits were taken away. If the opponent wanted to kill it, it would be a piece of cake.

Wu Zhongdi was shocked. How could such a terrifying existence be hidden in this small and remote island?

The one who can enslave it silently must be a being at least above the level of Earth Lord.

Just as he was about to beg for mercy and explain that his father was a level 60 Xuanwu, in order to make the other party afraid, he felt a pain in his head, as if his memories were being frantically extracted and reviewed by the other party.

This is an extremely violent method of reading memory, which does not take into account the situation of the person being read. Even if the reading is successful, it will cause serious harm to the person being read. At the very least, the person's memory will be confused, and at worst, he will become a fool.

If there is no hatred, such violent methods will not be used.

Wu Zhongdi was in extreme pain and immediately wanted to send out a distress signal to ask his brother Wu Zhongtian for help, but he was simply unable to do it.

The other party didn't know how far away it was, so it used the terrifying power of the earth soul to forcibly control it, making it unable to make any movements. It could only watch helplessly as its memory was forcibly read.

That feeling is more terrifying than being cut into pieces. The other party is torturing it on purpose.

Wu Zhongdi, who had never suffered such hardship before, screamed in agony. The shrill sound echoed for thousands of miles, causing the human race below to look over. When they found that it was Wu Zhongdi, the black tortoise monster that was wreaking havoc on Chang'an Island, who was screaming, they all shouted in shock.

"The Xuanwu monster has arrived. It is the one that ate hundreds of millions of people on our Chang'an Island. The entire Chang'an Island is about to be eaten up by it. Is it now targeting our Changdian City?"

"That must be the case, but what's its current condition? It looks very painful, and it hasn't come down to eat anyone in Changdian City. Could something have happened?"

"Someone must be dealing with it, otherwise it would have come down to eat us. But why can't we see who is dealing with it? Is it a sneak attack?"

"No matter what, let's hide first. If the adult who attacked it is not its opponent, we will be in trouble. Quickly, hide quickly."

……

The entire Changdian City was in chaos, and many human beings looked for places to hide, not daring to stay outside.

The reputation of this Xuanwu monster was so fierce that it could almost stop a child from crying. How could they dare to interfere? As Lu Changjing read Wu Zhongdi's memory, he finally understood what was going on, and his eyes lit up a little bit.

Before, he was thinking about how to find the level 60 Xuanwu celestial demon hidden in the Sealing Heaven Cold Prison, but because the Sealing Heaven Cold Prison is too terrifying now, even Lu Changjing doesn’t dare to stay in it for a long time, so he is ready to give up for the time being.

However, he didn't expect that just when he was about to give up, the opportunity came to him, although in a way he was unwilling to receive.

The level 60 Black Tortoise Heavenly Demon, in order to practice the secret art of Sealing Cold, had sealed himself in the depths of the Heaven Sealing Cold Prison, and what was sealed were his original body and a Heavenly Venerable clone.

As for the other incarnation of the Heavenly Venerable, he died decades ago and had not yet had time to give birth to a new incarnation of the Heavenly Venerable.

This means that if Lu Changjing can enslave the true body of the Xuanwu Heavenly Demon in the Fengtian Cold Prison, it means that he has enslaved a level 60 Xuanwu Heavenly Demon.

Moreover, this Xuanwu Sky Demon is not a ten-star Xuanwu Sky Demon, but a five-broken Xuanwu Sky Demon that exceeds ten stars.

As mentioned before, at the level of Tianzun, there is actually another way of division, not by star level, but by the number of times the limit is broken.

Under normal circumstances, a one-star to three-star Tianzun is called a one-broken Tianzun, four-star to six-star is called a two-broken Tianzun, seven-star to nine-star is called a three-broken Tianzun, and ten-star is called a four-broken Tianzun.

Going further up there are the Five-Breaking Heavenly Lord, the Six-Breaking Heavenly Lord, the Seven-Breaking Heavenly Lord... all the way up to the Ten-Breaking Heavenly Lord, and under normal circumstances the Nine-Breaking Heavenly Lord can impact higher levels.

If one could break through the limit again and reach the realm of Ten Breaks of the Heavenly Lord, the chances of impacting a higher level would be greater.

The limit of the human race is just the normal ten-star Heavenly Venerate, but the limit of the Xuanwu clan is the Nine-Po Heavenly Venerate, which can surpass the ten-star level and reach a higher level.

This level belongs to level sixty, but is higher than level sixty. It is not a normal division. Only those who attempt to impact a higher level of Heavenly Venerate will care about the division of this realm. If you are not prepared to impact a higher level, the Ten-Star Heavenly Venerate is already the ceiling of the middle three realms.

People who don’t understand this won’t understand, but people who understand will know what’s going on as soon as they hear it.

According to Wu Zhongdi's memory, his father Wu Tiandi was indeed a Ten-Star Heavenly Venerate, but he was a Five-Broken Heavenly Venerate among the Ten-Star Heavenly Venerates. He was beyond the ten stars, yet within the ten stars, and was also a sixty-level celestial demon.

The inner world of the Five-Pottery Heavenly Venerate is about the same size as the inner world of an ordinary Ten-Star Heavenly Venerate, but its foundation is deeper and the difference in overall strength is limited.

After that came the Six-Pottery Heavenly Venerate, the Seven-Pottery Heavenly Venerate, the Eight-Pottery Heavenly Venerate... all the way to the Ten-Pottery Heavenly Venerate. The inner worlds of these heavenly venerates were the same as those of the normal Ten-Star Heavenly Venerate, the only difference being that their foundation was more profound. The biggest difference was that the spirit and energy of the original body and the clone far exceeded that of the ordinary Ten-Star Heavenly Venerate, that is, the Four-Pottery Heavenly Venerate.

Only with a sufficiently powerful and pure spirit, energy and vitality can one access the secrets of a higher level and thus impact a higher level.

Therefore, after the fourth destruction of the Heavenly Venerate, what is improved is mainly the spirit, energy and vitality of the body, and the improvement to the inner world is not much. When the inner world reaches the level of the fourth destruction of the Heavenly Venerate, it is basically the limit of the Heavenly Venerate.

Because one has to break through limits time and time again, the difficulty and danger of impacting the upper three realms far exceeds that of impacting the middle three realms from the lower three realms. The two are simply incomparable.

Even for those original races, whose racial limits have already reached above the Nine-Po Tianzun, such as the Xuanwu clan, they also need a lot of time and energy to be able to reach the Nine-Po Tianzun realm.

If you want to advance to the upper three realms, it is equally dangerous and you may die if you are not careful.

But compared to the human race, which still needs to bear the shackles and restrictions of race, it is still much easier. It is indeed normal that many races in the upper three realms look down on races in the middle three realms and the lower three realms.

To give an example, let’s take the past life as an example, which is more intuitive.

The racial shackles of the human race are that they can basically punch out around a hundred kilograms, and at most several hundred kilograms.

But how many kilograms can a chicken hit with one claw? Compared with humans, it is far behind. If one wants to reach the level of humans, it is obviously necessary to evolve and break through the limits of the race. It will take a very long time to improve before one can reach the strength of humans.

But if it were an elephant, it would be different. The force of its kick would far exceed that of humans.

If humans rely on their own evolution, how many times would they need to break through their limits before they could possess the power of an elephant?

This is the racial shackles, and it is also the shackles that restrict many races from moving forward.

The racial shackles of the human race are the Four Breaking Heavenly Venerates. Even if one can cultivate to the pinnacle of the Four Breaking Heavenly Venerates, one is not qualified to impact a higher level, which is equivalent to being trapped at this level.

Only by continuing to break through upwards, breaking the shackles of race time and time again, and reaching the realm of Five-Breaking Heavenly Venerate, Six-Breaking Heavenly Venerate, Seven-Breaking Heavenly Venerate, Eight-Breaking Heavenly Venerate... all the way to the realm of Nine-Breaking Heavenly Venerate, can one get in touch with the mysteries of a higher level and have the possibility of impacting a higher level.

It’s like climbing a staircase. The stairs from the first floor to the second floor are nine meters high, but you can only move forward four meters. How can you reach the second floor?

If you want to continue climbing up, you need to break through the iron wall blocking the way on the steps in front. If you can't break it, you will never be able to reach the second floor. That's the truth.

The racial shackles standing in the way of humanity are far more terrifying than a solid wall of steel. The two are simply incomparable.

The strength of the Five Sky-Destroying Demon is obviously better than that of the Four Sky-Destroying Demon, at least several times stronger. If he can be defeated, Lu Changjing will have a great helper.

This made Lu Changjing somewhat interested in Wu Tiandi. What made him even more excited was that the secret art of Fenghan passed down by the Xuanwu clan was a sacred art, a top-level sacred art that even humans could practice.

This secret technique can absorb the power of the Sealing Cold in the Sealing Heaven Prison, store it in the body, and release it when needed, bursting out with astonishing power.

This secret technique can also be used to continuously temper the spirit, energy and shen, and enhance the power of the spirit, energy and shen. It is not only an offensive secret technique, but also an auxiliary secret technique, and can also be indirectly called a defensive secret technique.

Among the many secret arts passed down by the Xuanwu clan, the Fenghan secret art is also first-class. Moreover, only Wu Tiandi has awakened the relevant memory of this secret art. The other Xuanwu monsters have not awakened it. It is a powerful secret art unique to their family.

However, although humans are able to practice cultivation, there are considerable requirements for their physical fitness, and they need to be able to withstand the power of sealing cold.

It just so happened that with his immortal physique and various characteristics, Lu Changjing had already honed his abilities in this area before and was fully able to meet his needs.
