Chapter 558: Chapter 297: Taking Action, Dark Destruction Blade

This young man, although he appears to have an extraordinary temperament, is only at the peak of the Rune Seed Realm.

At the peak of the Rune Seed Realm, although not bad, he definitely couldn’t be considered top-notch compared to Xiaoyun Ye Xingchen and others.

Why did Dugu Jue suddenly target this person? Perhaps he and this young man had a grudge.

While some people were puzzled, someone gazed at Lu Yun’s face, as if thinking of something, and exclaimed: “It’s him, it’s him, yes, it’s him.”

Subsequently, more people recognized the identity of the youth.

“Yes, it is him, the only monster who climbed to the top of the Heavenly Pride Stele. I did not expect him to be here.”

“However, he looks a bit weak, merely at the peak of the Rune Seed Realm. People like Xiahou Ying can easily crush him.”

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Yun had a faint smile on his face.

He did not expect that even if he hid so low-key in a remote corner, he would still be discovered.

In fact, no one had noticed him before because everyone’s attention was on Xiahou Ying and the other talented individuals and no one would focus on a Heavenly Pride at the Rune Seed Realm.

However, after practicing Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, his blood and qi became increasingly powerful, making it impossible to hide.

Dugu Jue also practiced a powerful body refinement method and had felt the terrifying and surging qi in Lu Yun’s body as soon as he arrived.

What surprised and shocked him, however, was that this young man turned out to be the mysterious monster who had topped the Heavenly Pride Stele by overpowering numerous Heavenly Prides.

“So it’s really him?” Nangong Xue, who had readily admitted defeat earlier, narrowed her eyes slightly. She was very curious about the person who surpassed her and climbed to the top of the Heavenly Pride Stele.

However, Lu Yun had never revealed his name and did not even leave it on the Heavenly Pride Stele. Even the Heavenly Prides present did not know him.

Only Qin Feng had interacted with him, but he only knew that the other party’s last name was Lu. As for where he came from, it remained a secret.

“Is this person the mysterious and powerful demon rumored to have climbed to the top of the Heavenly Pride Stele? However, our realms are equal. How could he have climbed to the top?” Chu Ruoxi was slightly surprised and asked Chu Junxia, who was standing beside her:

“Junxia, with the intelligence and information you have, do you know anything about this person?”

Chu Junxia bitterly smiled and said, “My influence is limited to the Central Province. This person is not one of the Heavenly Pride here, so I don’t know anything about him.”

“However, don’t pin your hopes on him. Although his talent and potential surpass all the young Heavenly Prides, his realm is too low. He is only at the peak of the Rune Seed Realm and is no match for Dugu Jue.”

Hearing this, Chu Ruoxi’s expression darkened, feeling that her future was bleak, without any light.

“What, you don’t dare to fight me?” Dugu Jue’s indifferent voice broke the silence and drowned out the murmurs.

All of the Heavenly Prides, Golden Core old monsters, and Celestial Human Venerables looked at Lu Yun, wanting to see how he would choose.

Would this mysterious monster graciously admit defeat like Nangong Xue, or would he, like Ye Xingxuan and others, go to battle with Dugu Jue?

Dugu Jue’s eyes were also fixed on Lu Yun, seemingly eager and excited.

When fighting the top Heavenly Prides like Ye Xingxuan and Xiaoyun, he always maintained a cold and disdainful attitude.

However, there was a faint trace of fighting spirit in his eyes when he looked at Lu Yun.

Based on intuition alone, he could tell that his opponent was much stronger than Ye Xingxuan and the others.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun merely shook his head faintly.

“Your strength is not bad, but for me, it is too weak.”

As soon as the words fell, the entire venue fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other, seeing shock in each other’s eyes.

“Did I hear wrong just now? He actually said Dugu Jue is too weak!!”

“You didn’t hear incorrectly.”

“Although his talent is unparalleled in the world, with only the Rune Seed Realm, where did he get the confidence to say Dugu Jue is too weak?”

“Could it be that he had hidden his cultivation realm? ”

After the silence, a wave of clamor ensued.

Dugu Jue’s expression did not change, but the other Heavenly Prides could no longer hold back.

His domination over all the Heavenly Prides caused them to be considered as weak as ants in comparison. This statement from Lu Yun instantly offended all the Heavenly Prides present.

Xiahou Ying’s face darkened to the extreme.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Ye Xingxuan’s eyes.

Both Shen Miaoyi and Fan Feiyu had unhappy expressions on their faces.

As for Deng Wuqing, he felt even more annoyed. He had just been defeated by Dugu Jue and now, another incredibly arrogant fellow appeared.

The one who remained calm at the scene was none other than Dugu Jue. He stood on the battlefield and said coldly, “Strength is not determined by talking. Come up and fight with me to show me how strong you are.”

Lu Yun remained unmoved. To him, challenging Dugu Jue would be like bullying a child.

Moreover, he had no interest in the championship of this event. He was only here to watch the show.

At this time, other Heavenly Prides could not stand it anymore. Lu Yun’s arrogance without demonstrating specific strength to prove himself was truly detestable to them.

Xiahou Ying was arrogant, but with the Demonic Ape bloodline, he crushed Hu Mengqing.

Dugu Jue was aloof, but alone, he continuously suppressed Xiahou Ying, Ye Xingxuan, and others, so that none of the Heavenly Prides dared to fight him.
