My starting summon is a small skeleton

Zone 1, outside the Changping Secret Realm.

Led by Tie Xiong, Zhang Chen, and Zhao Xue'en, three Epic 3-star powerhouses.

Followed by about ten Epic 2-star powerhouses from the Domok Science Alliance of the Dark Conference.

A total of fifteen people, 35 Epic Level Summoned Beasts.

Such a group of people, such a force, their full-strength power would be equivalent to at least tens of thousands of nuclear bombs that had once exploded in Neon before Lu Wu's travel.

And now, this force was blasted into the Changping Secret Realm.

So the question arises, what would the condition of the Changping Secret Realm be after enduring tens of thousands of nuclear bombs?

Well first off, outside the Changping Secret Realm, the Secret Realm Camp, and all human settlements within a hundred miles were completely obliterated.

Everyone in the Secret Realm Camp was gone, and the survival rate of the people within a hundred miles was less than ten percent.

And this was just the impact of the aftershocks.

The real damage was still inside the Changping Secret Realm.

If you were inside the Changping Secret Realm at the same time as this force descended,

You would see, in the gray skies above,

A supremely bright meteor falling from the horizon, finally landing within the Changping Secret Realm.

Following the descent of this meteor, a pentagram covering half of the Changping Secret Realm flickered with light.

Then there were waves of shaking, waves of light that spread out and covered the entire Changping Secret Realm.

Under those shaking lights and waves,

Virtually every entity within the Changping Secret Realm was wiped out.

Whether they were Summoned Beasts or Summoners, all were extinguished in an instant.

At this moment, within and outside the Secret Realm, the number of creatures that died reached into the millions.

Ilya's elderly father, witnessing this scene, felt very conflicted.

As a being that had opened the "God's Eye",

He clearly knew that Lu Wu had been set up this time.

Lu Wu in the Changping Secret Realm had truly not anticipated that he would be ambushed.

At the time of their attack, Lu Wu inside the Changping Secret Realm was busy leveling up.

That wave of attacks truly hit Lu Wu himself.

But this was not what made the elderly father feel conflicted.

What troubled him was the millions of lives that were destroyed in that instant.

He originally thought that Lu Wu was bad enough.

Full of schemes and tricks, and utterly ruthless.

Playing repeatedly with someone named Fei Yinghao, and not even sparing the wife and child of someone named Zhang Chen.

Manipulating Zhang Chen's innermost tender feelings, turning Zhang Chen into a tool.

The elderly father couldn't stand this point, so he couldn't help but quietly influence Zhang Chen, allowing him to regain his senses.

The elderly father initially thought that he hadn't done something good, but at least it wasn't something evil.

What he hadn't expected was

After Zhang Chen regained his senses under his influence, he teamed up with Tie Xiong and organized an ambush specifically targeting Lu Wu.

If it was just an ambush against Lu Wu, the elderly father wouldn't have cared too much.

He might have just secretly saved Lu Wu when he was in danger.

What he hadn't expected was that they started with such a massive action.

Millions of lives dissipated before him, and he could do nothing but quietly protect Lu Wu from afar.

At this moment, the elderly father's heart was incredibly conflicted.

He began to regret, regretting that he shouldn't have recklessly helped Zhang Chen.

However, no one knew of the elderly father's regret, and no one even knew he existed.

At this moment, the focus of Tie Xiong and the others was inside the Changping Secret Realm.

They were even a bit panicked, worried, "Is Lu Wu really inside?"

"Rest assured, he's inside. I've been by his side for some time, and I understand him quite well."

Tie Xiong stepped forward, overlooking the gradually condensing Changping Secret Realm under their attack, he continued, "This guy has a strong sense of belonging.

You could even say he's quite a homebody.

He likes places where he feels warm and comfortable. If possible, he would stay in one place for decades without moving.

Unfortunately, fate isn't something one can control..."

"Mr. Tie, you're going off-topic!"

"Sorry, sorry, where was I?

Right, I was saying Lu Wu is a homebody.

He likes warm places, which you've mostly destroyed by now. Now only this Changping Secret Realm remains.

He had stayed here for over a month and even made friends with a Summoned Beast.

Sadly, just after making friends, it was killed by Feng Xiu.

Now even this place has been destroyed by us. Looking at it, this poor kid really seems quite pitiful!"

Tie Xiong said, sighing, seemingly forgetting that he was the fiercest one when they had attacked.

This feigned posture infuriated Zhang Chen on the side.

"Pitiful? You pity him? Who will pity my wife and children?

Is Lu Wu dead yet? He must die today, no matter what!"

"Who knows if he has any other tricks up his sleeve?"

Zhao Xue'en, truly once bitten, twice shy, couldn't feel at ease not seeing Lu Wu completely dead.

"Calm down, he definitely can't escape today.

Although his actions yesterday surprised me and changed your views about him, at the end of the day, he is still just him.

This guy is human, not a god.

Even if he has 'All Things,' an inexhaustible supply of energy and avatars, the preparations he made in two days are already quite astounding.

Right now, he basically has no tricks left.

You all just relax!"

Although Tie Xiong said this.

Still, very few could actually feel relieved.

Soon, Zhao Xue'en and the others organized a second round of attack.

They sealed off the Changping Secret Realm, turning it into something like a pocket.

Then one round after another, they kept bombarding it relentlessly.

Every round of attack caused incessant trembling both inside and outside the Changping Secret Realm, creating a terrifying environmental impact.

Meanwhile, deep in Changping Secret Realm, Lu Wu was in a terrible state.

Earlier, his mood was still quite good, having finally gathered enough Origin to upgrade Han to an Epic 3 stars.

It was supposed to be a celebratory occasion.

Yet someone just had to turn it into a funeral.

They surrounded Changping Secret Realm and launched a fierce attack, including an Epic 3-star powerhouse, five Epic 3-star Summoned Beasts, and dozens of Epic 2-star powerhouses.

This force was frightening to an extreme.

Even if Lu Wu could fight beyond his level, he couldn't withstand such a lineup.

He was directly bombarded haphazardly.

The powerful attacks tore at something on his body time after time.

Relying on Han's power, Lu Wu repeatedly repaired his body, only to be torn apart again.

Lu Wu fell into a painful cycle.

And this painful state of Lu Wu was quickly sensed by those outside.

As they locked onto Lu Wu, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, a twisted desire to completely crush Lu Wu emerged at the bottom of their hearts.

Especially those from Elder Mountain, as well as Zhang Chen.

The former had just been humiliated by Lu Wu yesterday, losing two comrades, while the latter had watched his wife and children die before him, nearly becoming Lu Wu's pawn.

Their hatred for Lu Wu was indescribable.

The moment Zhang Chen sensed Lu Wu, he immediately contacted him.

Then, a voice, deep and crazed, sprang from the bottom of Lu Wu's heart.

"Bet you didn't see this coming, did you?"

"Zhang Chen?"

Zhang Chen's voice made Lu Wu's eyebrows raise.

Now, Lu Wu finally understood where the problem lay.

But he became puzzled again, as by all logic, Zhang Chen shouldn't have been able to escape his control—even with the power of another fragment, he shouldn't have.

At least not at this speed.

Zhang Chen's bafflement only fueled his frenzy.

"Yes, it's me!

You never expected this, did you? I arranged all of this.

It was me who contacted Tie Xiong, using his fragment to call the Dark Conference, the Science Alliance, and Elder Mountain to oppose you.

How about that? Not a bad lineup, right?

To convene such a grand assembly just to deal with you, Lu Wu, you really do carry some weight."

Lu Wu didn't respond to Zhang Chen's somewhat hysterical words.

Lu Wu's silence only made Zhang Chen more deranged.

"Say something! Why aren't you talking now? Where is that spirit you had yesterday?

That scheming in the shadows, using my soft heart against me, treating me like a pawn?

When you did that, you surely didn't expect to end up like this, did you?

Today, you're definitely dead, I'm telling you, you're dead!!!"

Zhang Chen's roar also made Zhao Xue'en push up his glasses.

"Lu Wu, you've done many evils, killed two elders, destroyed the Holy Sect Alliance, disrupted the alliance's order, today you have no chance of survival by any means."

...

In Changping Secret Realm, on Lu Wu's side.

Whether it was Zhang Chen's hysterical roar or Zhao Xue'en's righteous words, Lu Wu gave no response.

Lu Wu, as of now, wouldn't be swayed by ordinary trash talk, from trash people.

But soon, a voice caused a stir in Lu Wu's emotions.

"Boss Lu, long time no see!

I never thought our next meeting would be under these circumstances!"

Lu Wu's eyebrows shot up, his eyes widened: "Tie Xiong!"

"Right, right, right, it's me, by the way, boss, you still owe me a lot of wages..."

"Was that fragment you gave to Dudu?"

Lu Wu had no time for this trash talk, directly addressing his main concern.

This topic was also of interest to those from Elder Mountain.

Zhao Xue'en and others subtly raised their eyebrows, their expressions changing slightly.

Their glances towards Tie Xiong became dangerous, hearing this claim for the first time, Tie Xiong quickly waved his hands: "Don't look at me like that, can't you see this is just his attempt to sow discord?"

Tie Xiong's words immediately made Zhao Xue'en and the others turn their heads back.

They weren't fooled by Tie Xiong's tricks, but they clearly understood that now was not the time to pursue these issues; the most critical task was to kill Lu Wu.

And their momentary reaction presented Lu Wu with an opening.

"Tie Xiong, do you believe what you're saying yourself? Isn't that fragment in your hand the same one Dudu had?

You have quite the method, using the fragment to kill half of the elders of Elder Council.

Afterwards, still managing to fool the Council members to come against me.

Impressive, really impressive, Elder Council is more obedient than dogs in your hands..."

"Shut up!"

Zhao Xue'en's face darkened.

"Lu Wu, you don't need to make excuses or struggle, no matter what, you must die today!"

"Yes, you definitely won't survive today!"

Setting aside their disputes, their first priority was to kill Lu Wu.

This was the thought of everyone present.

Future grievances could be avenged later; if they couldn't kill Lu Wu today, they would have no hope in the future.

In Changping Secret Realm, facing rounds of attacks, Lu Wu laughed.

"You Elder Council truly have great magnanimity!

But have you considered what his purpose was in having Dudu carry the fragment to blow up your Elder Mountain?

Is his true target really me?

If it were for me, he had countless opportunities to kill me before I grew stronger, and he didn't; there must be a purpose, and has his purpose been achieved now?

Obviously not!

Why would he join hands with you under these circumstances?

You better think this through well!"

"And about the Dark Council and Science Alliance, I remember we had quite a pleasant interaction before, how come you suddenly backstab me like this?

Isn't this a bit too much?

Ever thought about the consequences?

I, Lu Wu, am not very magnanimous; if you manage to kill me today, great, but what if you don't?

Do you really want to end up like the Holy Sect Alliance?"

Lu Wu's words caused Zhao Xue'en and others to change their expressions several times, and just as Lu Wu was pushing harder, Tie Xiong said in a somber tone: "Alright boss, no use struggling, it's useless, nothing you say will make a difference.

They are experienced, they know exactly what to do and what not to do.

You surely don't think they haven't considered the consequences before acting?

They're prepared.

No matter what!

Even if the sky falls, they're determined to kill you today."

"The more you say that, the more you prove you are fearful, unsettled, out of options.

It proves you've reached a dead end, only able to rely on these measures to survive."

With Tie Xiong's words, everyone present rallied.

They temporarily set aside other thoughts, deciding to kill Lu Wu first.

"No matter what, Lu Wu must die today!"

This was the collective belief of the group, regardless of their identities or backgrounds, at this moment, their conviction was highly focused.

No matter what, they had to kill Lu Wu.

And with their conviction, their power also converged.

This time, they gathered almost all of their power.

The mere convergence of this power caused the entire space to tremble violently.

The terrifying energy fluctuations even caused cracks to appear in the vibrating space, indicating the immense power.

The group emitting a roar, "Die!"

The terrifying energy smashed down toward the already crumbling Changping Secret Realm...
