Chapter 424: Dao Artifact Fragment
Chapter 424: Dao Artifact Fragment
"To think that he temporarily broke through his mental will at a critical moment. Indeed, one must not underestimate any Golden Core Realm cultivator."
In the sky, Lu Qing approached the gray-robed man, observing his lifeless eyes with a hint of awe.
He never expected that the gray-robed man would be able to unleash his potential and break through his mental barriers at the brink of life and death.
Just one step away, and he would have boarded that silver flying vessel.
With a casual wave of his hand, Lu Qing captured the gray-robed man, who was trapped in the Illusionary Divine Ability, and suppressed him within the Flame Cauldron.
After entering the Golden Core Realm and achieving a perfect Golden Core, Lu Qing's two divine abilities underwent a metamorphosis.
Not long ago, the Illusionary Divine Ability could only trap that white-robed youth for a brief moment.
But now, the Illusionary Divine Ability that Lu Qing displayed was enough to keep the gray-robed man, a Fourth Stage Core Formation cultivator, trapped in the illusion, unable to awaken.
As the possessor of a perfect Golden Core with a unique nature in the world, it had such formidable power.
After stepping into the Golden Core Realm, Lu Qing's abilities in martial arts, spells, and divine abilities all underwent a qualitative transformation, their power increasing exponentially.
In the Golden Core Realm, perhaps only those with profound cultivation and powerful Golden Cores could resist the erosion of the Illusionary Ability.
The gray-robed man had just entered the Fourth Stage Core Formation Realm, and his Mystic Core was merely a Middle Grade Golden Core that had just been refined and promoted.
It was no surprise that he couldn't withstand Lu Qing's divine power.
After capturing the gray-robed man and sealing him within the Flame Cauldron, Lu Qing finally turned his attention to the somewhat dilapidated and ancient silver flying vessel nearby.
He had witnessed the previous scene, and despite the suppression of the Flame Cauldron, the silver flying vessel's speed hadn't decreased significantly. It could still move swiftly.
Moreover, the gray-robed man had desperately tried to enter the vessel, indicating that there was something mysterious within.
What surprised Lu Qing was that the white-robed man, the owner of the vessel, seemed unable to control it freely, as if it had a will of its own, which piqued Lu Qing's curiosity.
At this moment, with the gray-robed man suppressed, the silver flying vessel hovered quietly in the air, unmanned and unmoving.
Lu Qing gazed at the vessel, which bore no trace of the blade aura from the strike he had delivered.
Lu Qing activated his unique ability, but to his surprise, this time, the ability took longer than expected to gather information.
It took over ten breaths, yet no information tags appeared.
Lu Qing's unique ability had indirectly enhanced after entering the Golden Core Realm.
Even for a spirit artifact, it wouldn't take him long to gather information.
The silver flying vessel's power wasn't particularly strong, yet it had taken this long without any response.
Lu Qing patiently waited, and after more than twenty breaths, a layer of purple light from his unique ability emerged from the vessel.
Several information tags floated out.
"Purple light treasure?"
Lu Qing was taken aback once more.
Why did a purple light treasure require so much time for him to gather information? He immediately focused on the information tags.
【Ethereal Flying Vessel: Mysterious Treasure, Dao Artifact Fragment.】
【This flying vessel is a crucial component of a powerful Dao Artifact, made from a unique material. Despite severe damage, it retains Middle Grade Spirit Artifact power.】
【Dao Artifacts contain an entire Great Dao Principle, and only then can they be called Dao Artifacts.】
【This flying vessel possesses the ability to traverse the void and rapidly escape.】
【It contains a soul mark, already recognized and refined by its owner.】
...
"Dao Artifact Fragment?"
After reading the information tags, Lu Qing was shocked, especially by the mention of a Great Dao Principle within the artifact, which surprised him even more.
Even for a spirit artifact, it only contains a trace of law force, and when fully unleashed, its power is overwhelming.
The power of a mighty spirit artifact, when fully unleashed, could be said to scorch mountains and boil the seas.
If spirit artifacts are already so formidable, how terrifying would a Dao Artifact, containing an entire Great Dao Principle, be?
Lu Qing couldn't even imagine such a scene.
"It seems that above Spirit Artifacts, there is a Dao Artifact."
Lu Qing vaguely guessed this from the information he obtained through his probing.
"Young Master!"
At this moment, the figure of "Flame" also appeared beside Lu Qing.
Looking at the Ethereal Flying Vessel, his eyes revealed a shocked expression.
This flying vessel gave him an extremely unusual feeling.
He couldn't quite explain what it was, but he could sense a tremor deep within his instincts.
"Young Master, this flying vessel..."
"Let's discuss it after we return," Lu Qing interrupted Flame and stored the Ethereal Flying Vessel into the Heaven and Earth Qi Bag.
"Yes!"
Flame did not disobey Lu Qing and obediently returned to the Flame Cauldron.
After this battle, it truly realized how powerful Lu Qing was now.
The gray-robed man had clearly already entered the initial stages of the Golden Core Realm, yet he was almost completely powerless against Lu Qing.
From start to finish, he was completely suppressed by Lu Qing, without even a decent counterattack, and was thoroughly subdued.
If not for Lu Qing's restraint, he might have been killed by a single strike.
It was known that Lu Qing had only recently entered the Golden Core Realm.
Yet he could defeat a strong cultivator at the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm with such ease.
After he cultivates for a while longer and thoroughly stabilizes his foundation, his strength will likely surge forward.
By then, who knows how much more powerful he will become.
Moreover, Flame also knew that Lu Qing still had many hidden trump cards that he hadn't used.
For example, the technique he used during his battle with the white-robed youth, which he had once displayed.
In any case, Flame understood that it was time to truly recognize his own position.
Lu Qing didn't notice the change in Flame's attitude.
He transformed into a beam of light, and in just a few breaths, he had already returned to Nine Li Village and landed in front of the Half-Mountain Courtyard.
"Young Master Lu!"
Lin Zhirui and the others had already arrived at the Half-Mountain Courtyard, and seeing Lu Qing return, they all came forward to greet him.
Their expressions couldn't help but show reverence.
There was no way around it; the power Lu Qing had displayed earlier was simply too overwhelming.
That terrifying scene of a single strike shattering several mountain peaks was enough to instill awe in anyone who witnessed it.
"Master, is everyone in the village alright?" Lu Qing asked first.
"No worries, you deliberately controlled your power's aura and didn't let it spread in this direction. With the protection of the formation, everyone in the village is safe," the Great Doctor smiled.
"That's good," Lu Qing felt relieved.
"Young Master Lu, did you break through to a new realm?"
At this moment, Wei Shanhai hesitated for a moment before finally asking cautiously.
The others, except for the Great Doctor, also stared intently at Lu Qing.
"Yes, I broke through a few days ago. I didn't have time to inform everyone because I needed to consolidate my realm, so I apologize for the surprise," Lu Qing nodded.
Indeed, he had broken through!
Although everyone had already guessed it from Lu Qing's display of power earlier, they were still shocked when they heard Lu Qing's confirmation.
Not long ago, Lu Qing had mentioned that he had an epiphany and needed to enter seclusion.
Everyone was wondering when he would come out of seclusion.
Unexpectedly, without any announcement, Lu Qing had already broken through, but he had kept it hidden until now.
Lin Zhirui suddenly realized, "No wonder a few days ago, I vaguely sensed that deep within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, there seemed to be a Heavenly Tribulation's aura. It must have been Young Master Lu crossing the tribulation, right?"
But at that time, he thought that some treasure had appeared in the Mystic Realm, and out of caution, he didn't dare to go and investigate.
"Yes, the Thunder Tribulation's power is immense, and it's easy to affect others, so I went to a secluded and uninhabited place in the deep mountains to cross the tribulation," Lu Qing didn't deny it.
