Chapter 629: Chapter 553: Returning to Dragon Tiger Mountain, Reversing the Rules

Ever since Lu Yuan learned about the current situation on Earth,

he has had a general plan in mind after the emergence of the Power of the Outer Celestial Demon.

First, eliminate all external threatening elements, which are the two major forces.

He had already slain most of the strong figures from the Eternal Race and the Ji Family; now they pose no significant threat.

Thus, there is no longer any need to worry. The next step is to strengthen the power and foundation of the Celestial Court.

With the support of the Power of Destiny, many have broken through to the Immortal Realm and the Saint Realm, and this is just the beginning.

With the blessing of that Power of Destiny, the cultivation evolution of the Celestial Court Followers will become easier.

Of course, they also need time to adapt and transition.

Lu Yuan is not in a hurry concerning this matter.

Now, with both tasks completed,

it was time to prepare for another matter.

"You’re looking for me?"

While he was pondering,

Jiang Ningxian also ascended Jade Emperor Peak with a smile.

Lu Yuan nodded at her words: "Currently, the Power of the Outer Celestial Demon has appeared in each prominent mountain and river. This is likely a sign of their imminent arrival. We must first ascertain where it is most severe."

"If there is a way to delay their arrival on Earth, it would be ideal."

Though the calamity cannot be avoided, as the saying goes,

being proactive is better than being reactive.

If it is possible to delay or completely prevent their arrival,

it would be a boon for Earth’s creatures.

"So, are you planning to visit these prominent mountains and rivers?" Jiang Ningxian quickly understood his intention and immediately offered, "I’m willing to accompany you on this journey."

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but smile at her response. Although he could undertake this task alone,

the fact that she hails from the Jiang Family means she knows more secrets.

When faced with inexplicable matters,

she could provide guidance.

"Without delay, let’s set off now."

Lu Yuan stood up without saying much, took a step forward, and waved his hand.

Instantly, a Void Passage appeared, and the two walked directly into it without hesitation.

The Earth is vast now, but for Lu Yuan, this distance is trivial.

After all, he is now capable of traversing the void.

Their first stop,

is Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Which was once the Daoist Ancestral Court.

Based on previous information obtained by Lu Yuan, this place was the first to witness the appearance of the Power of the Outer Celestial Demon.

Upon arrival, Lu Yuan immediately felt the familiar yet inexplicable force.

Endless black mist pervaded the mountain, rising skyward.

It was extremely dense.

A regular person could never enter.

Even those in the Saint Realm need to proceed with caution due to this mysterious power.

"This Dragon Tiger Mountain seems devoid of life."

Jiang Ningxian also felt it, furrowing her brow, realizing this place had become extremely perilous.

"Those forces seem to be altering some of the rules of the surrounding world." Lu Yuan, with his grasp of the Celestial Position Law, could discern everything clearly. He immediately understood the purpose of the Outer Celestial Demon’s appearance.

It was to change the surrounding world, making it suitable for their descent.

Immediately, he took a step forward, channeling his own Celestial Position Law.

Aiming to dispel that power,

but was shocked to discover he couldn’t.

"It seems both the two major forces and the Outer Celestial Demon have been planning for a long time."

Seeing this, Lu Yuan felt slightly regretful, as being unable to stop it meant having no choice but to accept it passively.

"Why not try the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Order? These two forces repel each other."

Beside him, Jiang Ningxian suggested.

Regardless,

as long as there is hope, it must be tried.

Lu Yuan nodded at her suggestion.

Immediately using his inner force, he activated the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Order, trying to suppress the Power of the Outer Celestial Demon.

The final result was the same; the force of the Celestial Emperor’s Ancient Order made some of the surrounding black mist dissipate, but failed to achieve the desired effect.

"Let’s go inside to check it out."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and then spoke.

This black mist is incredibly dangerous.

For many people,

it’s the same.

But both he and Jiang Ningxian are powerful enough, so there’s no need to worry.

Thus, the two promptly chose to proceed, entering the depths of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

As they had sensed from the outside, this area was completely devoid of life.

Even the vegetation had withered completely, turning black, rendering the place deathly silent.

The further they went, the stronger the power of the Outer Celestial Demon felt, the various Powers of Laws around them becoming exceedingly chaotic. Jiang Ningxian even noticed her abilities being affected.

"It seems the Outer Celestial Demon aims to transform this world to better suit their existence."

"In this case, we naturally are easily influenced."

Jiang Ningxian couldn’t help but furrow her brows deeply.

If,

eventually, the entire universe is forcibly reversed,

will the extraordinary creatures of this world descend into mere common existence?

"Reversing the rules of the entire universe is no easy feat. If the Outer Celestial Demon could achieve it, they would have started long ago, not waiting until now, much less only targeting Earth."

Lu Yuan spoke, reassuring her that there was no immediate need to worry, as the reason was quite simple.

They required so much time planning even to change Earth.

Moreover, it’s only within these prominent mountains and rivers,

not everywhere.

Just how vast is the entire universe?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningxian nodded, agreeing with his analysis.

Soon, the two reached the interior of Dragon Tiger Mountain, where even the sun in the sky was obscured.

Darkness was everywhere in their sight, with not a hint of light visible.

However, for Lu Yuan and Jiang Ningxian, that was insignificant.

They continued to move forward.

Eventually,

they sensed the source of the black mist.

"Seems it’s within this mountain ahead."

Jiang Ningxian looked up at the towering giant mountain before them.

All around this enormous mountain, streams of black mist continuously emerged, carrying an inexplicably mysterious force.

As for what’s inside, even with their Divine Thought, they couldn’t fathom it, so discovering the truth required delving deeper.

"Let me."

Lu Yuan didn’t elaborate, taking a step forward.

Then he reached out, grasping with his palm.

Instantly,

the massive mountain exploded, turning to dust.

All the giant rocks, with the appearance of the Heaven and Earth Furnace,

were completely melted.

The towering giant mountain,

disappeared effortlessly.

Of course, this was a trivial task for Lu Yuan.

Currently, he could cause a star to vanish easily in the universe.

And now, both of them finally saw what lay beneath that giant mountain.
