Zhang Yan used facts to prove to Lu HaiKong that the existence of such a cheat was not exclusive to Lu HaiKong; others could possess it too.
Of course, Zhang Yan's cheat eventually landed on Lu HaiKong, and with a swipe of a Celestial Deity Talisman, the originally freakishly strong Lu HaiKong instantly became invincible.
The tenfold increase in strength brought Lu HaiKong's strength from 90 to 99, making it seem like he was just a tiny bit short of breaking the 100 mark. It seemed a bit of a waste for someone with a strength of exactly 90 to have such power.
However, the strength Lu HaiKong currently possessed was actually the maximum limit of the boost from that Celestial Deity Talisman.
Although the effect of the Celestial Deity Talisman was heaven-defying, it couldn't increase his strength beyond 99; at most, it could only boost the user's strength to 99. Otherwise, this talisman wouldn't be legendary but mythical.
Of course, Lu HaiKong wasn't aware of this. After his strength reached 99, he officially launched his attack.
The strength boost only lasted for half an hour, and considering the possibility of side effects, he had to try his best to defeat Zhang Jiao's clone within this time frame.
As Lu HaiKong launched his attack, Zhang Yan also sprang into action.
She took out a stack of talismans, so many that one wondered where she hid them all. She had used dozens of them on her way here, yet she still had more left, seemingly endless.
But she wasn't using these talismans to fight the Yellow Turban Warriors; that wouldn't be a pleasant idea.
With hundreds of them, a strength of 60, and the Undying trait, Zhang Yan wasn't Dian Wei, an absolute freak. How could she possibly withstand so many Yellow Turban Warriors?
The woman took out the talismans and began using them one by one without hesitation.
No one knew what kind of talismans Zhang Yan was using, but after she used over ten of them, the Yellow Turban Warriors who were initially rushing towards her paused, even though they were already within ten meters of her. They seemed to lose sight of Zhang Yan and turned back to find Lu HaiKong.
With her safety secured, Zhang Yan's side successfully resolved the issue, and Lu HaiKong's battle officially began.
Lu HaiKong, standing at less than 1.8 meters tall, held a battle axe nearly two meters long and charged into the midst of the Yellow Turban Warriors, who were generally around 3.5 meters tall.
Like a ferocious beast, he was unstoppable!
Every swing of Lu HaiKong's axe would send several, or even a dozen, Yellow Turban Warriors flying. His progress was unyielding, even with several or a dozen Yellow Turban Warriors blocking his path.
This relatively small person could easily topple over a dozen large, bulky men.
Wherever he went, he left a trail of fallen bodies.
This had always been Lu HaiKong's style of fighting, like a raging dragon.
In this battle, Lu HaiKong's primary objective wasn't to slaughter the Yellow Turban Warriors, as he was well aware that they possessed the Undying trait. As long as Zhang Jiao was alive, even if Lu HaiKong killed them all, they would resurrect before his eyes.
Lu HaiKong knew that he could only win this battle by defeating Zhang Jiao's clone.
However, this battle turned out to be much more challenging than Lu HaiKong had anticipated!
Zhang Jiao's clone was exceptionally cunning and didn't give Lu HaiKong any chance to get close. Every time Lu HaiKong violently broke through to within ten meters of the clone, it would immediately disappear before he could get any closer.
Moreover, while evading Lu HaiKong, Zhang Jiao's clone kept performing small actions, casting various spells.
For example, during Lu HaiKong's charge, a thick wall of earth would suddenly rise up in front of him, blocking his path. At other times, the ground beneath Lu HaiKong's feet would become unusually soft, and he nearly sank into it with a single step.
What frustrated Lu HaiKong the most was Zhang Jiao's use of augmenting support spells, which, of course, weren't meant for Lu HaiKong but for the Yellow Turban Warriors.
The Yellow Turban Warriors, who originally had a strength of 60, suddenly experienced a surge in power. Several of them instantly evolved into Yellow Turban Divine Generals, with their strength directly surpassing 80.
These endless spells, coupled with Zhang Jiao's elusive tactics, gave Lu HaiKong a hard time.
"This won't do. I must find a way to draw out Zhang Jiao; otherwise, I can't win this battle!"
A flash of determination appeared in Lu HaiKong's eyes, and he suddenly gave up searching for Zhang Jiao. Instead, he turned around and rushed towards the Peaceful Heavenly Scripture.
Hidden in the shadows, Zhang Jiao's eyes flashed with the light of spells, and in an instant, yellowish-brown tendrils like tentacles shot out from the ground, sweeping towards Lu HaiKong.
Lu HaiKong paid no heed and let his purple inner force surge wildly, activating Purple Aura Rising. A layer of purple inner force enveloped his body, protecting him.
When Lu HaiKong's strength was at 90, his Purple Aura Rising could withstand Zhang Bao's fire dragon attacks. Now, with his strength at 99, the unleashed power of Purple Aura Rising...
The terrifying defense of the giant logs was even more frightening, and the several yellowish-brown tentacles that Zhang Jiao had whipped at Lu HaiKong's body broke off on their own.
However, although the tentacles were severed, the power of the spell still reached Lu HaiKong's body.
After being struck by several tentacles in succession, the last two wrapped around Lu HaiKong, dragging him forcefully to the ground. Lu HaiKong was pulled to the ground in an instant.
At this moment, the ground became as soft as mud, and after Lu HaiKong landed, his entire body sank into it. As soon as Lu HaiKong was buried, the soft mud quickly hardened, turning into something akin to steel that trapped Lu HaiKong within.
This move was incredibly terrifying, as Lu HaiKong was buried underground in an instant, and the soil that encased him was even harder than steel. Seeing this situation, Zhang Yan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
She had originally thought that with Lu HaiKong's strength, even if he faced Zhang Jiao's main body, he would have a chance to fight. She never expected the battle to turn out this way.
What good is immense strength? What difference does a strength of 99 make?
From the very beginning, Lu HaiKong had been at the mercy of Zhang Jiao's clone, and now he had fallen victim to his opponent's ultimate move. This situation was terrible!
However, Zhang Yan wasn't overly concerned about Lu HaiKong's safety. She was well aware that with her Celestial Deity Talisman and Lu HaiKong's strength, it was impossible for Zhang Jiao to defeat them.
"With the Celestial Deity Talisman, that guy won't die!"
As if to prove Zhang Yan's words, just as she finished speaking, the area where Lu HaiKong was buried suddenly emitted a faint purple light. Then, a purple beam shot into the sky, carrying Lu HaiKong along with it.
After this, Lu HaiKong had no intention of turning back to fight Zhang Jiao.
In the 1619th chapter, a single look was enough to confirm the truth!
He was well aware that even if he turned back, he wouldn't be able to find Zhang Jiao, so without hesitation, he rushed towards the altar.
From Lu HaiKong's actions, it seemed that he still didn't want to confront Zhang Jiao head-on. Instead, he planned to seize the Peaceful Heavenly Scripture and the Heaven-Altering Pill from the altar and then leave.
With Lu HaiKong's full-force burst, it only took a few minutes for him to reach beneath the altar. Just as Lu HaiKong was about to pounce and grab the Peaceful Heavenly Scripture, the ground beneath him suddenly came to life, like a giant wave, it surged towards Lu HaiKong!
"This is the moment!"
As the giant wave rose, Lu HaiKong's eyes shone with an astonishing light, and in that instant, it was as if the light of the world had been captured by his eyes.
It was clear that at this moment, Lu HaiKong had once again activated the Celestial Eye Detection.
"It's here!"
The battle axe in Lu HaiKong's hand emitted a purple beam that shot into the sky. Lu HaiKong swung his hand, and the battle axe flew out, heading towards Zhang Jiao, who had suddenly appeared a hundred meters away.
This swift and direct action clearly indicated that Lu HaiKong had planned this tactic from the start.
During the previous battle with Zhang Jiao, although Lu HaiKong had been in a dire situation, he hadn't come away empty-handed. Through constant exploration, Lu HaiKong had discovered that Zhang Jiao's spells had a range requirement.
Therefore, when Lu HaiKong suddenly rushed towards the altar, his terrifying speed erupted, sending the Yellow Turban Warriors hundreds of meters away. At this moment, Zhang Jiao couldn't possibly cast his spell while hiding among the Yellow Turban Warriors.
This tactic may not have been particularly brilliant, but it provided Lu HaiKong with an opportunity to strike at Zhang Jiao.
As Lu HaiKong swung his battle axe, Zhang Jiao's clone urgently stopped his spell and then attempted to cast another to leave his current location.
But before he could act, the battle axe that Lu HaiKong had thrown suddenly exploded, sending countless fragments flying.
Zhang Jiao, who hadn't anticipated this, used the Earth Penetration Technique, but as he sank into the ground, the battle axe fragments also shot out, covering an area of several dozen square meters.
At the moment the battle axe fragments pierced the ground, a blood-red color surged from the earth!
After throwing the battle axe, Lu HaiKong didn't pause for a moment. From the start, he had been rushing towards this location.
As the ground turned blood-red, Lu HaiKong leaped high, and the purple inner power within him surged wildly.
"Die!"
With Lu HaiKong's furious roar, he unleashed an extremely violent punch that struck the blood-red ground.
This punch caused the ground, with the blood-red area at its center, to crack open in all directions within a ten-meter radius, demonstrating the terrifying might of Lu HaiKong's punch.
Almost simultaneously with Lu HaiKong's punch, the system notifications sounded.
"Congratulations on successfully killing Zhang Jiao's clone, the final boss of the Realm of Heavenly Peace. You have obtained a Legendary Chest."
"Congratulations on completing the Yellow Turban Rebellion Dungeon, Realm of Heavenly Peace. You have obtained a Mythical Chest."
Two consecutive system notifications rang out, indicating that Lu HaiKong's journey through the Realm of Heavenly Peace seemed to be coming to an end.
