Level Up in Martial World

Whoosh!

A tempest brewed as Lu Zhen slowly unfurled his eyes.

"Slow," Lu Zhen murmured lightly, his gaze fixed on the hundreds of beams of light converging towards him.

His eyes trailed down to his veiny arms, pulsating with power, and he waved them with a graceful sweep.

The very fabric of the void quivered with the impact as it collided with the myriad combat arts.

Lu Zhen took three steps back, it was merely three steps only. Despite the attack of combat arts from hundreds of second-stage martial artists, they could only compel Lu Zhen to retreat three paces.

Even a first-stage martial artist might be injured by it but Lu Zhen was unscratched by it!

A peculiar silence descended over the entire army as they gazed with rapt attention at the evolving form of Lu Zhen.

Gradually, a resplendent golden horn emerged, and his once-subtle canine teeth elongated, protruding menacingly from his mouth.

As Lu Zhen clenched his fist, the very essence of the void quaked in response.

"Not bad," he muttered, his gaze fixed on the distant second-stage martial artists. His once-crimson eyes had transformed into a pure golden hue, and his vision had multiplied, enabling him to discern each and every one of the second-stage martial artists with crystal clarity.

Though his metamorphosis appeared to unfold over a long time span, in reality, it happened in the blink of an eye.

With a swift whoosh, Lu Zhen raised his foot, and in an instant, he completely vanished in thin air, leaving no trace of his presence behind.

Yet, even as he disappeared, a shiver ran down the spine of one of the second-stage martial artists. In the next heartbeat, darkness enveloped his world.

A formidable second-stage martial artist fell without even knowing how he died!

Though Lu Zhen remained unseen, the second-stage martial artists began to fall, one after another, their bodies left headless in his wake.

"These…" a second-stage martial artist gritted his teeth.

"Qian Li has already been killed, so I will take charge," he roared.

"Alright, Ye Qiang," the other second-stage martial artist nodded, their gaze filled with terror.

Twenty second-stage martial artists had already fallen in just a few breaths of time, and they couldn't even discern who killed them; however, even a child could tell that it was the hand of Lu Zhen.

His speed had reached such extremes that even his afterimages were imperceptible.

"These monsters," Ye Qiang gritted his teeth, his gaze fierce as he surveyed the other second-stage martial artists. "No matter how strong he is, there is no way he can kill all of us. But the damage would definitely be bitter."

With a ruthless glint in his eyes, Ye Qiang commanded, "Let's set up the grim avatar again," as he retrieved a shield which was completely black.

Hearing his command, the other second-stage martial artist hesitated. However, Lu Zhen had already taken out twenty more second-stage martial artists in this short time period.

"We will die if this goes on. What's a little lifespan compared to dying brothers? Let's fight."

Some of the second-stage martial artists were still reluctant. After all, all the second-stage martial artists had a will of their own compared to the others.

When the grim reaper avatar had appeared, they had only superficially given their Qi, not their lifespan. The stronger they got, the more they wanted to live longer, with all the privileges that came from being strong.

Lifespan was something that was valued more and better; every second counted, and sacrificing their lifespan for these people was naturally hard.

Because they knew that Lu Zhen would eventually be exhausted with how terrifying his power was, the strain on the body was also natural. As for those who died at his hand, they could be called unlucky.

A person is inherently selfish!

Ye Qiang looked around, his expression turning even colder. "I will report this to the sect master after this."

Instantly hearing this, all of them could only reluctantly take out their shield, which was black and bland with no design to it.

"Good."

Ye Qing nodded his head and instantly supplied his Qi to it, and the others did the same.

The black shield slowly started to glow and started to disintegrate, forming an eerie dark energy surrounding them. At the same time, a grim reaper appeared in the void, emitting a terrifying aura even greater than before.

Simultaneously, the surrounding pure Qi instantly turned into Yin Qi, sending shivers down the spine of any living being present.

Lu Zhen had just turned a second-stage martial artist into a bloody mist when his malevolent eyes suddenly looked back, seeing the grim reaper.

In his malevolent eyes, a shiver of clarity that had been completely retained appeared now. His golden glowing eyes flickered slightly at the sight of the large grim reaper.

"Hmm, this grim reaper avatar is much stronger than the previous one. If the previous one could be said to be touching the line of the first-stage martial realm, now its aura is comparable to Ancestor Lu, who just broke through the first-stage martial realm," Lu Zhen thought as he gathered his thoughts.

The bloodlust had already worn off, and he could finally assess his situation clearly.

When one first releases a bloodline for the first time, they will inevitably have to release all the pent-up desires of the bloodline.

These desires are extremely potent, and if one's consciousness is not strong enough, one could easily become a mindless beast.

Just like when he first released his bloodline, all the pent-up lust and murderous thoughts erupted in him.

However, now he has become much stronger, with his consciousness also growing stronger. Even though the combined bloodline is terrifying, he quickly recovered from the desires.

Lu Zhen should have been afraid upon seeing the grim avatar in front of him. However, his eyes reflected excitement instead of any shred of fear, feeling the power coursing through every fibre of his being. The feeling of invincibility originated from him.
