I Have A Martial Dao World
Chapter 557: 557. Unable to break through defense
The outside world was noisy and chaotic, but Jing Yi Garden remained "peaceful and tranquil."
At this moment, frequent "clangs" and "booms" came from the northern part of Xiangshan. Looking over, the land was upturned, and pits were everywhere, resembling a construction site laying foundations.
And the one responsible for all this was Lu Yao, who was practicing martial arts.
After the Thunder Tribulation, his Divine Soul governed his entire body, releasing immense explosive power. Practicing martial arts was now accompanied by such a ruckus.
Moreover, the peerless techniques he was cultivating at this time were especially loud.
Among the techniques Lu Yao was refining were the complete "Tathagata Divine Palm" and Kunlun's Peerless Technique "Supreme Taiyi Thunderclap Hand".
The latter had been demonstrated earlier by the late Grandmaster Zeng, who controlled sound waves with True Qi, fierce and unrivaled yet still mysterious.
All of these were brought back by Li Pei from the Imperial Secret Vault, each one a prodigious technique that required a lifetime of dedication to study.
But not only was Lu Yao practicing both at the same time, he did so with particular ease.
In the field, there were two Lu Yaos, one physical and one spiritual.
The physical body moved without emotion, continuously practicing, while the spiritual soul flickered with arcs of electricity, practicing the "Electromagnetic Cannon" as if flicking marbles.
After a while, the physical body was exhausted. The two Lu Yaos instantaneously merged into one, their individual training experiences flooding his mind at once.
This was a new ability gained after reaching the Thunder Tribulation Realm—"Multitasking."
The physical body and Divine Soul acted separately, yet not distinct from one another, much like a person's eyeballs looking in different directions, receiving different information, akin to a dual-core CPU.
As a result, his efficiency greatly improved. He mastered both the "Tathagata Divine Palm" and "Supreme Taiyi Thunderclap Hand", no longer afraid of exhausting his energy while practicing the Martial Dao. Lu Yao even desired to start "Gold Swallowing" cultivation.
However, what was gained came at a loss, as his Spirit Refining Cultivation lagged.
At this moment, with a flash of electrical arcs, Lu Yao used his True Qi and Mind Force to attract the magnetic field, creating an "Electromagnetic Rail" out of thin air.
Next, he flicked a Yuan steel marble with his finger, and with a sharp "swoosh," the marble was shot out at a speed of kilometers per second, blasting a hole as big as a sea bowl in sturdy granite.
The destructive power was about the same as a .50 sniper rifle, not too shabby... but a casual punch from Lu Yao was more powerful than that.
The "Primordial Magnetic Divine Thunder" Dao Art from Xu Fu seemed simple but was extremely difficult to execute.
This was still under the circumstance of having the Star Alliance Country's "Electromagnetic Cannon" for reference, which allowed Lu Yao to achieve this much.
Moreover, having no direction for the path following the Thunder Tribulation Realm, he could only deduce from bits and pieces in the scriptures and use his "ingenuity."
It had been thousands of years since the Otherworld had seen a Heavenly Tribulation, and the lineage of Spirit Refinement had long been severed.
Although there were scriptures transmitted, the Thunder Tribulation Realm, even in ancient times, was the domain of a rare few powerful beings, and it was unlikely that the scriptures would be too detailed.
Spirit Refining Cultivation suddenly hit a bottleneck!
This was also why Lu Yao was eager to campaign against Izumo—he only had Xu Fu as a source to "fleece."
"From now on, I'll have to make my own way."
He sighed. The good news was that there was no rush at the moment. The current priority was advancing his Martial Dao to the Golden Body Realm.
In combat, the Golden Body Realm, capable of directly withstanding cannon fire, was a better match for the Heavenly Tribulation.
And since Yu Yanmei had already reached the Golden Body, he could use her as a reference to fully experience the might of a Great Grandmaster.
~~~~~~~~~
And so, Lu Yao jauntily made his way to Yu Yanmei's residence to challenge a Great Grandmaster one-on-one.
However, upon arrival, he saw her packing her luggage, seemingly about to leave.
Yu Yanmei looked up and said, "I need to make a trip to the Kunlun Sect, and I'll have to take a Spiritual Sparrowhawk with me for a few days."
Lu Yao, who had just been practicing Kunlun's Peerless Technique, was somewhat puzzled, "Why are you going there? Did the Kunlun Sect not close off their mountain to the world?"
The relationship between this sect and his family had been indifferent, and it had grown even colder when Yu Yanmei killed that Kunlun disciple in the Underground Palace during their exploration.
Although they weren't openly hostile, the Kunlun Sect had closed off their mountain after Lu Yao's rise, making their unwillingness to associate quite clear.
Yu Yanmei explained, "The founder of my Moon Star Sect came from the Kunlun Sect. According to the agreement, after reaching the Golden Body Realm, I have to go back and leave behind my insights on the breakthrough."
Lu Yao immediately understood, "So there's that connection. No wonder you previously had a Kunlun disciple as a fiancé..."
Yu Yanmei gave him a glance and said, "In the end, it's you this little rake who benefited. Thinking about it now, with all that Ice Jade in the palace, there really was no need for you to take my virginity."
"That was just me being too anxious and not thinking ahead~" Lu Yao shamelessly laughed with a grin, "Before you leave, let me experience the formidable physique of a Great Grandmaster."
"Alright~" Yu Yanmei's clear and bright eyes showed a hint of amusement as she accommodatingly followed her little man into the house.
Lu Yao had no reason to be suspicious and even took out a pair of black silk stockings, "Try these on for me."
Yu Yanmei, unusually submissive, obediently took them and put them on.
With her already long legs paired with her cool and extraordinary face, the black stockings indeed added to her cold yet enchanting allure, utterly tantalizing.
Especially when she stretched them straight and tugged at the stockings a bit, asking, "Do they look good?"
Lu Yao hurriedly nodded, "Amazing, really beautiful!"
After speaking, he could hardly wait to thoroughly study the Great Grandmaster's physique, and Yu Yanmei, with amusement in her eyes, was particularly cooperative...
Two or three minutes later, Lu Yao realized something was off—he couldn't breach her defenses!
A Great Grandmaster could withstand cannonballs head-on, and though Lu Yao was strong, he was nowhere near the level of a cannonball.
Lu Yao then switched tactics, trying to employ a more tender and skillful approach in the hopes of prevailing with technique.
But to no avail, the might of a Great Grandmaster's physique far exceeded his imagination, and his past techniques that were bouncy and nimble became an insurmountable chasm!
He never would have imagined the gap between the Golden Body Realm and the Flawless Realm to be so vast; no wonder it's regarded as the cornerstone for suppressing dynasties.
The atmosphere grew somewhat awkward, and Lu Yao, unable to save face, coughed dryly, "Could you, perhaps, retract this 'Indestructible Will'?"
Yu Yanmei couldn't hold back any longer and, covering her mouth, laughed lightly, "I just had my breakthrough and can't quite control it freely yet~"
"You're going too far," Lu Yao said, recognizing her playful smile as a sign that she was teasing him on purpose.
He might not be a match in terms of physical prowess, but what man could tolerate such humiliation!
He took a deep breath, and behind him appeared a Mind Projection with three heads and six arms to bolster himself.
His body then surged with True Qi and wrapped in electric arcs, ready for a meteoric collision with Earth—a forceful strike to penetrate the enemy's defenses!
Yu Yanmei cautioned, "Lu Xiaozi, if you injure yourself, don't blame me."
Lu Yao was suddenly startled; getting injured was certainly recoverable, but it would utterly disgrace him.
He slowly rose, his face flushed as he feigned nonchalance, "I'll let you off for today, but once I attain the Golden Body, I will make you see!"
Yu Yanmei got up and embraced her little man, enveloping him with a surge of True Qi and a special, unbreakable and indestructible will.
"Then I'll be waiting. Make sure you hurry up."
Lu Yao quickly immersed himself in understanding this will; it was crucial for progressing to the Golden Body.
Only... the will felt somewhat familiar to him.
