Chapter 103: Attaining the Violet Mansion
“Brother Tu!”
Zhang Cheng and the others rushed forward to assist, but were firmly held back by the sudden surge of the Old City Lord!
Damn it!
A heavy feeling weighed down Zhang Cheng’s heart.
He watched as the sword light bypassed everyone, appearing directly above Tu Lu’s head!
Struggle flickered across Tu Lu’s face.
Of course, he had the means to dispel this strike, but that technique was meant for the Purple Mansion’s Heavenly Tribulation. If he exhausted it here, the upcoming tribulation would be extremely perilous!
No one had expected the Purple Camel Peak to be so deeply concealed, yet now, there was no remedy for regret!
Enough!
He gritted his teeth. Within his dantian, the red orb trembled violently, unleashing an utterly terrifying energy!
Then, with a roar, the Blood God Gauntlet seemed to transform into flowing blood, crimson wrapping his fist as he launched a punch.
The void quaked, vast collapse followed.
An overwhelming aura erupted, causing even the half-step Transformation Realm Old City Lord’s face to change drastically!
Even the Transformation Realm Venerables observing from afar were shocked.
The regional government’s villa was already a sensitive area, and with Purple Camel Peak involved, when the secret underground passage was split open, many eyes turned here.
Yet, out of mutual caution, no one dared to act.
They were merely spectators—until now, when Tu Lu’s power caused them to pale!
Though Tu Lu was just a junior, not yet fully stepping into the Purple Mansion Realm, his strength rivaled that of a Transformation Realm cultivator!
“This is impossible!”
Purple Camel Peak screamed in disbelief.
Under that fearsome punch, he felt a sensation reserved only for facing Transformation Realm Venerables. If Tu Lu were at the peak of Purple Mansion, it would be one thing—but he was merely at the pinnacle of Body Refining!
He could hardly believe it!
Yet, regardless of his disbelief, the void reverberated with a tremendous boom.
The sword qi shattered instantly; a massive hole was blasted in the void!
A gigantic dark-red fist tore through the sky!
At that moment, violent shockwaves shattered the villa’s protective barriers; countless buildings collapsed. The terrifying energy suffocated the Purple Mansion!
Purple Camel Peak screamed in agony. Helpless against the punch, his face twisted and distorted as his body began to shatter.
---
Just then, a red jade talisman suddenly flared, shielding him from one calamity. Even so, he was blasted apart, blood qi scattered, coughing up blood as he was flung out of the villa, his fate unknown!
“Peak!” the Old City Lord cried out mournfully, leaving Wu Hao and two others behind as he charged outside.
Everyone stared in stunned silence, unable to recover for some time.
Even Wu Hao and his companions wore expressions of shock.
At that moment, the sky thundered louder, a bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket descended like a celestial pillar!
This is bad!
Xu Feng’s expression changed drastically as he watched the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.
Tu Lu’s former power was spent and his new power had not yet emerged—there was no way he could withstand this strike!
They had been forced to retreat by the Old City Lord, far from the area, with no time to intervene!
“If no one acts, this boy is finished!”
“That won’t happen. Such talent is terrifying. No one would be willing to lose him. But… whose person is he, after all?”
The powerful figures watching in secret shared the same thought.
Still, no one dared to act!
The matter involved Purple Camel Peak, a highly sensitive issue. Even those who favored Tu Lu’s talent would hesitate to move, fearing they might be framed as the hidden hand!
Few wished to be dragged into such a vortex!
Tu Lu understood this clearly. Before throwing that punch, he had already made a risky decision.
Though he could have bought some time at Zhen Ling’s secluded retreat, he did not hesitate and triggered the secret left in the Ice Twin Swords!
A drop of essence blood instantly transferred into the Heavenly Dragon Token!
“Who?”
The illusion shattered. Zhen Ling immediately opened her eyes, cold light flashing.
She extended a hand!
Above the regional government villa, the void suddenly tore open, revealing a slender hand emerging above Tu Lu’s head, colliding with the massive pillar of lightning!
Boom!
The slender hand shattered, but the lightning was also weakened by more than half, leaving only a trace of pure energy to pour into Tu Lu’s body.
“What is this?!”
The powerful figures’ faces changed as their gazes turned toward the City Lord’s Mansion.
Though some had never seen Zhen Ling, none could mistake the icy spiritual force and the Transformation Realm aura emanating from the City Lord’s Mansion.
Could Tu Lu be her protégé?
---
At that moment, Tu Lu’s face flushed red as he suddenly shouted:
“Ah—!!!”
His body erupted with a sacred white radiance, his aura soaring. Countless great sages’ phantoms appeared in the void, innumerable chains of law connected.
Incantations echoed like the sound of the great Dao, flowing ceaselessly into his body!
Such a spectacle immediately drew back the attention of the powerful.
“This… could it be a Sacred Body?”
“Impossible!”
Countless greedy gazes ignited.
Even Wu Hao’s expression darkened.
At this moment, Tu Lu’s aura instantly reached the true Purple Mansion Realm!
Not in quantity, but in a fundamental leap!
Within his dantian sea, unlike ordinary cultivators, he housed not a single Purple Mansion Dao Palace, but countless. Every fragment of magical power crystal had formed a miniature Dao Palace.
His realm directly reached the peak of the initial Purple Mansion Realm!
“Break through for me!”
Tu Lu shouted fiercely, leaping into the air!
As the sky gathered lightning again, Tu Lu raised his fist, shattering the thunderclouds outright!
“Retreat!”
He bellowed, flying straight out of the villa.
“Great Buddha, slayer of worlds!”
At that moment, a tremendous roar thundered through the void, like a crash of thunderclaps. Everyone’s faces changed drastically, their bodies seemingly frozen in place, unable to move!
In an instant, heaven and earth were dyed golden.
A colossal hand descended from the sky!
