Chapter 475: Lu Qing's Dominance, Suppressing Everyone

February 1, 2025

A young man in plain clothes suddenly appeared and dispelled the terrifying gray-qi ghost claw that had shaken the entire venue.

This scene naturally shocked all the powerful experts present.

They knew that the gray-qi ghost claw displayed by Meng Dian just now had even made many Golden Core Realm cultivators tremble in their hearts, finding it hard to resist.

But unexpectedly, the young man in plain clothes had dispersed it so effortlessly.

No one could even tell how he had done it.

For a moment, everyone stared blankly at the young man in plain clothes.

Some of those with keen minds had already guessed his identity.

But most of them were still in a daze.

At this moment, everyone saw the three Saint Masters suddenly bow and pay their respects to Lu Qing - When you decided to help Meng Dian, you showed your gratitude to Lu Qing.

- Lu Qing's Response - "Saint Masters, it seems you've encountered some trouble." Lu Qing smiled.

- First Saint Master's Reply - "Indeed, we three alone are not enough. We can only trouble you, Lu Qing." The First Saint Master shook his head with a sigh.

They couldn't make the various sects of the world accept their ideals like they did a thousand years ago.

"Leave it to me," Lu Qing said without declining.

- The Crowd's Reaction - Hearing their conversation, those around them understood. The young man in plain clothes was indeed the legendary figure they had heard about. Everyone was stunned, their eyes fixed on Lu Qing.

His reputation had reached far and wide, yet most had never seen him in person.

Lu Qing turned around and looked at Meng Dian in midair, his gaze calm.

"Meng Dian of Guiyuan Sect? Does your Guiyuan Sect want to replace the Holy Mountain and take the leading position in the righteous path?"

Feeling Lu Qing's gaze upon him, Meng Dian's body stiffened.

Even his spiritual power seemed to be affected, not flowing smoothly.

He had no choice; the reputation of the man before him, while not extremely prominent in the entire world, was too loud among the top sects.

After all, this man was the only one in the world who had the terrifying ability to kill Golden Core Realm cultivators.

The fact that Meng Dian had been so easily suppressed by him indicated that his strength was indeed unfathomable and beyond measure.

However, despite their fear of Lu Qing, Meng Dian managed to calm himself down in front of so many powerful experts.

He forced a smile, "You must be Fellow Daoist Lu Qing. I am Meng Dian, the Grand Elder of Guiyuan Sect. I've heard of you, Fellow Daoist Lu Qing."

But Lu Qing didn't want to indulge in pleasantries.

"You haven't answered my question yet," he said indifferently.

Meng Dian hesitated, not expecting Lu Qing to be so blunt in front of their fellow cultivators.

But he replied solemnly, "You must have seen that the three Saint Masters' true bodies cannot leave the Holy Mountain. In the current situation, it's no longer suitable for them to lead the righteous path.

For the sake of the righteous path, both emotionally and logically, they should step down and let others take over."

"So, you think your Guiyuan Sect is qualified to take this position?" Lu Qing asked with a smile that didn't seem like a smile.

"There are many talented people in the world, and our Guiyuan Sect doesn't dare to claim to be the best among all sects. But I still stand by my words; the Holy Mountain is no longer qualified to lead the righteous path." Meng Dian spoke with righteousness.

"What if I say it is qualified?" Lu Qing asked indifferently.

Meng Dian was at a loss for words.

He stared at Lu Qing, not knowing what to say for a moment.

But Lu Qing continued, "You seem to advocate the idea of 'might makes right.' Now, if I say I recognize the Holy Mountain as the leader of the righteous path, would you dare to oppose me? Or is there anyone here who wants to oppose me?"

Not only Meng Dian but also the powerful cultivators from other sects were stunned.

They stared blankly at the young man in plain clothes.

No one expected him to be so direct and clear in his support for the Holy Mountain.

"It seems no one opposes it," Lu Qing said with a smile after looking around and seeing that no one spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Lu Qing, does this mean you agree with the three Saint Masters' approach and want to restrict and bind all cultivators in the world? Are you willing to make enemies of all cultivators in the world by doing this?" Meng Dian finally couldn't hold back and asked.

"Make enemies of the world?" Lu Qing shook his head, "It seems you all have some misunderstanding about your own strength."

What gave you the right to think you can challenge me?"

As he spoke, a strand of aura emanated from Lu Qing's body.

The next moment, everyone felt a heavy pressure on their bodies, an indescribable terror that suppressed their souls and physical forms.

The pressure intensified, as if an immense mountain was descending from the heavens, crushing them inch by inch.

"Restraint and rules? We merely ask you to abide by a few prohibitions. In future battles, avoid areas where ordinary civilians gather, and do not create unnecessary bloodshed.

But in your eyes, this has become a restraint on your freedom?"

"You ignorant fools, your cultivation has gone to the dogs! You think that with a little spiritual power and a bit of strength, you can do as you please.

Even if you enter the Immortal Path and gain superiority over others, does that give you the right to kill them at will? Don't forget, you weren't born with power; you cultivated it from being ordinary people.

In recent years, the conflicts you've caused have displaced countless civilians, leaving them homeless and struggling to survive. It's only because the three Holy Masters are merciful that they want to give you a chance.

That's why this Holy Assembly was convened, to establish a new charter for maintaining peace in the world.

Otherwise, I'd have you all killed.

The world would be rid of much of its turmoil, and the people wouldn't have to live such difficult lives!"

Lu Qing spoke each word with increasing coldness.

His aura became more and more terrifying.

Behind him, a huge, ancient, fiery-red cauldron appeared as a faint shadow.

Among the powerful cultivators present, only a few were spared by Lu Qing.

The rest, regardless of their cultivation level, be it the Primordial Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, or even Golden Core Immortals, were all overwhelmed by his boundless might, suffocating their hearts and minds, making it almost impossible to breathe.

They could only watch in awe as Lu Qing, who seemed like a divine being, exerted his dominance.

Especially the Golden Core cultivators, they felt incredulous.

They realized that they couldn't even move a muscle, let alone summon any power.

Whether it was their soul power or magical power, it was all completely suppressed by this terrifying pressure.

What frightened them even more were Lu Qing's words.

Listening to him, they couldn't believe he intended to kill them all here and now! It sounded insane, but at that moment, no one dared to question Lu Qing's ability to carry out his threat.

The scene before them spoke volumes.

Lu Qing's aura alone was enough to suppress everyone, including the Golden Core Immortals, who couldn't move a muscle.

As Lu Qing's killing intent intensified, the fear in everyone's hearts grew stronger.

Unfortunately, they were so suppressed that even pleading for mercy was impossible.

Many of them had already lost hope when they realized this.

Finally, as someone was about to succumb to Lu Qing's overwhelming aura, the First Holy Master sighed and stepped forward. "Young Master Lu, that's enough. Let them go this time.

If this continues, someone might not be able to withstand your aura and could die from mental collapse."

"Senior Holy Master, you are too kind," Lu Qing shook his head.

However, he heeded the First Holy Master's advice and retracted his aura.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

As Lu Qing retracted his aura, countless people on the massive stone platform lost their balance and fell to the ground.

They were drenched in sweat, gasping for breath, their faces filled with the relief of having survived a catastrophe.

Their eyes, when they looked at Lu Qing, were filled with fear.

Just now, they genuinely believed they would be crushed to death by that terrifying aura.

"Your Excellency..."

On the Coldwater Palace side, the crowd's eyes were filled with indescribable admiration as they looked at Lu Qing.

Coldwater Palace was one of the few factions that Lu Qing had spared, not subjecting them to his overwhelming pressure.

As a result, they witnessed firsthand how Lu Qing had dominated the entire assembly with his aura alone.

"The reputation is well-deserved; truly the number one cultivator in the world."

At the Green Sheep Temple, the white-haired old Taoist priest wiped the sweat from his forehead as he watched Lu Qing's calm expression in the center of the arena.

They had not been as fortunate as Coldwater Palace; they, too, had been engulfed by Lu Qing's overwhelming might.

Even he, under Lu Qing's oppressive aura, was unable to move a muscle.

No matter how he tried to stimulate the Magical Power Golden Dan within, he couldn't break free from the terrifying suppression.

The elderly Taoist, whose hair and beard had turned white, still had some confidence.

But this time, it didn't occur to him, the master of Green Sheep Temple.

In front of Lu Qing, he was as vulnerable as everyone else.

"This person is someone we should never provoke!"

On the Yun Shui Secret Realm side, the Golden Core Realm cultivator was filled with horror.

When he came out this time, he had brought along the sect's treasured item, just in case.

If any unexpected events occurred during the Holy Assembly, he could use the treasure to protect the disciples of his sect.

However, just now, under Lu Qing's overwhelming pressure, he was shocked to discover that he couldn't activate the treasured item within his body.

No matter how he tried to stimulate it, it wouldn't budge from his body, firmly trapped in his dantian!

At this point, he finally realized that Lu Qing's strength had long surpassed his imagination.

Not to mention a single treasured item, even if he had the legendary Spiritual Treasure with him, he feared it wouldn't make a difference in front of Lu Qing.

No, it's not that there's no chance of winning!

But it's likely that he wouldn't be able to move a muscle before Lu Qing.

At this moment, the Golden Core Realm cultivator immediately listed Lu Qing as a terrifying existence that their Yun Shui Secret Realm should never provoke.

If even the three great secret realms were like this, let alone other sects and powers.

In their hearts, Lu Qing had become the most awe-inspiring existence.

"Meng Dian, does your Guiyuan Sect still aspire to be the leader of the righteous path?"

At this moment, Lu Qing's voice sounded again.

Everyone's gaze fell upon Meng Dian.

Under Lu Qing's pressure earlier, this once-invincible Golden Core Realm cultivator couldn't maintain his form and had fallen from the air.

Even with his already injured mental state, Lu Qing's pressure further intimidated him, worsening his injuries significantly.

His face was now pale, and his aura had weakened considerably.

Hearing Lu Qing's words, Meng Dian's face turned even paler.

A trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Just now, under Lu Qing's overwhelming pressure, he had tried to stimulate the strange treasure within his body to resist.

But to his horror, this treasure, which had always been powerful and unmatched since he refined and controlled it, seemed like a mouse before a cat in the face of Lu Qing's aura.

No matter how he tried to stimulate it, it remained tightly coiled in his dantian, not daring to move an inch.

It didn't even dare to reveal a trace of its aura.

With his greatest reliance gone, Meng Dian felt even more helpless in the face of Lu Qing.

He smiled bitterly, "Your cultivation is profound, far beyond my imagination. In the cultivation world, strength is revered. Since your power surpasses all under heaven, then this world naturally belongs to you."

However, I still stand by my words. We cultivators are born to defy constraints.

Even if you can forcefully suppress the world, one day, an even more powerful genius will emerge and break free from these shackles!"

His words were resolute, causing many powerful cultivators to be moved.

No one had expected that at this point, Meng Dian's attitude would remain so unyielding.

Many couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect.

Some cultivators even felt a sense of resonance.

"Stubborn and unyielding," Lu Qing shook his head as he looked at Meng Dian's defiant expression.

"Your confidence must come from the evil treasure within your body. It seems you've been deeply deceived by it.

Since that's the case, I want to see who is hiding behind you!"

As he spoke, Lu Qing extended his hand.

Meng Dian sensed the danger and felt his Magical Power stir, a gray light appearing on his body as he tried to escape.

But how could he possibly escape Lu Qing's grasp?

As soon as his aura stirred, a powerful sealing force descended upon him, completely immobilizing him.

Lu Qing opened his palm, his five fingers slightly curled.

The next moment, a powerful force penetrated his body, reaching his dantian. Before the object there could react, it was instantly seized.

"What are you doing?"

Meng Dian felt Lu Qing's actions and cried out in fear.

But Lu Qing paid no heed. His fingers tightened slightly.

With this movement, a strange phenomenon occurred.

A gray ghost claw emerged from Meng Dian's dantian, slowly being pulled out.

The ghost claw was terrifying, exuding an evil aura.

Just looking at it made one's mind dizzy and filled with malevolence.

This horrifying sight shocked everyone.
