Taishan Jade Emperor Peak.

Lu Yuan stood apart from the world, his gaze calm as he looked at the Spiritual Monkey before him.

Without further words, he went straight to the point, saying, "Let's continue with what we were discussing just now."

His visit to Taishan had two purposes: first, for that Divine Artifact, and second, to help the authorities completely control Taishan.

So now, without hesitation, he laid out the proposal. In summary, it was about sharing some of Taishan's Spirit Fruit and Exotic Herbs with the Huaxia officials and coexisting peacefully with the Exotic Beasts here.

In short.

In the future, humans and Exotic Beasts need to coexist on Taishan.

Of course, this pertains only to the Huaxia officials at the top.

Other forces are not allowed to enter.

"But..." the Spiritual Monkey responded, "Can I refuse?"

Earlier it was quite agitated, but now it spoke cautiously, for the person in front of it was truly frightening.

Opposite, Lu Yuan chuckled and then said, "What do you think?"

His expression looked calm.

But the aura around him grew even stronger.

A golden Qi Blood emerged, and golden light flickered in his eyes.

Obviously.

If the other party refused.

He wouldn't mind taking action once again.

"Alright, alright, alright!"

The Spiritual Monkey, recalling the massive palm from before, trembled with reluctance: "There is a condition. When humans come to Taishan, they must not recklessly slaughter the Exotic Beasts. If you agree to this, then everything is negotiable."

What choice did it have? It couldn't possibly defeat the human before it.

Indeed, it could lead all the Exotic Beasts of Taishan to resist and launch a war.

But in the end, both sides would suffer.

And given the strength of the person before it.

It's feared that the result wouldn't change, and it would be a pointless sacrifice.

Taishan is vast, and it birthed countless Spirit Fruits and Exotic Herbs. Letting humans have a portion to preserve the life here is not unreasonable, and the Spiritual Monkey didn't harbor much resentment towards humans anyway.

Most importantly, it was aware that Lu Yuan had the power to directly claim the entire Taishan and kill it.

Yet he hadn't done so, showing enough sincerity.

Given this, it might as well agree.

"Thank you."

Lu Yuan spoke, a smile appearing on his face.

"No need, no need," the Spiritual Monkey knew the other had agreed.

Immediately it plopped down on the ground, feeling both annoyed and somewhat depressed.

It thought that upon reaching the Golden Body Realm, combined with its Bloodline Power, it wouldn't say it could rule this world, but at least roam unchallenged, right?

But who would have thought.

A human this powerful would appear.

The people watching the live broadcast of this Taishan operation.

Each one was shocked.

They knew.

Besides Ancient Shu Mountain, the authorities had gained control over yet another renowned mountain, especially a place like Taishan.

In the future, relying on Taishan, the upper echelons' power would rapidly increase in a short time.

And all of this was because of one person.

Lu Yuan, that human king.

Moreover, there's one more point.

Most Awakened ones, as long as they enter the Zhen Dan Academy or cooperate with the authorities.

Will have the opportunity to ascend Taishan and seek their own destiny.

After all, during the previous live broadcast.

They witnessed those Spirit Fruits and Exotic Herbs firsthand.

In essence.

Lu Yuan's actions this time almost changed the fate of most people in Huaxia, a monumental achievement!

Below.

Ji Huaiyuan and Elder Yun both.

Saw that Lu Yuan and the Spiritual Monkey had reached an agreement, their faces immediately flushed with excitement!

Success!

Finally succeeded.

As long as Taishan is under control, entry and exit can be freely managed.

This would undoubtedly be a great boon for Huaxia going forward.

Beside them, Zhu Qingyu and the others all revealed smiles, each sighing with relief.

Fortunately, there's King Lu.

Otherwise, relying solely on their strength, they wouldn't have succeeded!

"Alright, prepare to cut the broadcast. The subsequent matters will be handled by King Lu alone," Ji Huaiyuan spoke, knowing that Lu Yuan had his own purposes for ascending to the highest.

This was a secret belonging to him, which naturally couldn't be broadcasted or let anyone else know.

"Elder Yun, Elder Yun."

However, just then, a soldier appeared.

His face urgent, he approached and whispered, "Something's wrong, our instruments detected an anomaly. Around a thousand miles from here, over a hundred missiles have appeared!"

"What's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yun was taken aback.

But having been in a high position for many years, he immediately calmed down and quickly inquired.

"They employed various methods to interfere with our instruments, so they weren't detected earlier."

The soldier explained, then continued, "They're also moving at a very high speed, making them difficult to intercept."

Intercontinental missiles, even without thermonuclear warheads, were still exceedingly powerful, and over a hundred combined could destroy a small city, effectively a large-scale weapon of mass destruction.

With the current technological means of the Huaxia military, successfully intercepting ninety percent of them would already be remarkable.

"They must be targeting King Lu."

Beside him, Ji Huaiyuan's face turned grave, "It seems those major forces haven't given up hope."

He knew very well that Lu Yuan's emergence had disrupted the balance between the two major forces.

Because he was just too strong.

Combined with past grievances with the Twelve Apostles.

They certainly wanted to eliminate him, but it was unexpected they'd act so quickly.

To know.

Lu Yuan had just rendered another significant service.

"There must be those people's presence on Taishan, otherwise it couldn't have been so precise. Find them!"

Cloud Elder was furious, having control over all military forces.

He was inherently tough.

Now that someone threatened Lu Yuan, a murderous intent had already appeared in his eyes.

"Yes!" the soldier replied, immediately mobilizing troops.

Also ordered an interception attempt, if possible.

"Intercontinental missiles, faster than sound, should arrive within minutes from a thousand miles away," Ji Huaiyuan said angrily, clenching his fists, eyes practically spitting fire.

"Should we have King Lu withdraw quickly?" Elder Yun spoke, offering a suggestion.

Hundreds of missiles, even the Beast King would meet his end, unable to withstand them.

Lu Yuan is incredibly powerful.

But in his eyes,

he's still just a human. If targeted, the consequences are unpredictable.

Zhu Qingyu, Ice Fairy, and the others around were also extremely tense.

At this stage,

the power of the Awakened,

perhaps can't contend against such powerful modern weaponry?

We thought the matter was settled, but we didn't expect the Western powers to intervene.

"It's too late." But soon, Ji Huaiyuan looked up at the sky, his voice hoarse.

Everyone couldn't help but look over, and their expressions changed drastically, their hearts trembled with it.

In the distance, intercontinental missiles appeared.

Approaching at an extremely fast speed.

It seemed that, in at most a minute, they would hit their target.

And at the foot of Taishan, interceptors soared, detonating most in mid-air, but dozens of missiles slipped through, heading straight for the peak.

What to do?

How can human efforts counter missiles?

At this moment, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

Moreover,

Lu Yuan had just battled fiercely with the king atop Taishan, likely having spent much energy; how can he face intercontinental missiles?

"What's going on, those look like intercontinental missiles."

"Oh my god, they're heading toward Jade Emperor Peak."

"Could it be the Western powers, trying to use modern weaponry to target King Lu?"

"Such malicious intent! Truly malicious!"

Those watching the live broadcast also noticed, exclaiming in surprise.

The higher-ups are at Taishan.

And only the Western powers could produce intercontinental missiles.

After all, almost everyone knew, the Twelve Apostles were killed by Lu Yuan, forming a deep grudge.

Unexpectedly, the other side would directly use modern weaponry just to target one person.

In an instant, everyone was enraged, angrily denouncing.

But besides this, they had no other way.

They could only watch helplessly.

Those dozens of intercontinental missiles heading towards Taishan.

At this time.

At Jade Emperor Peak.

Lu Yuan, who was about to continue talking with the Spiritual Monkey, also noticed the situation.

Looking up, dozens of missiles appeared in the distance, directly breaking the sound barrier, coming towards this place.

He instantly understood, this was surely the means deployed by the Western powers, intending to annihilate him.

Because no other forces had such immense power.

It seems.

Certain things must start ahead of schedule.

At that moment,

a rare trace of killing intent appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes.

As for the Spiritual Monkey, it had a perplexed look.

But it was very alert.

Clearly feeling the threat from the intercontinental missiles.

"Stay put, don't move." At this moment, Lu Yuan spoke, then took a step forward.

Thud~

In an instant,

his internal organs resonated.

The Qi Blood Slaughter manifested directly, towering eleven layers.

But unlike before, this Qi Blood Slaughter expanded to several meters tall.

Enveloping Lu Yuan and the Spiritual Monkey within.

Even without nuclear warheads, the intercontinental missiles' power is absolutely immense.

Even Lu Yuan couldn't choose to ignore that, and the Qi Blood Slaughter, one of his strongest defenses, was perfect for resisting it.

Soon.

Everyone saw only this:

A golden aura of blood seemed to emerge around Lu Yuan, forming an eleven-level tower.

Meanwhile, on the other side, dozens of intercontinental missiles came with a piercing sound.

Closer!

And closer!

Everyone held their breath, their faces pale.

Could King Lu, this human monarch, withstand one of humanity's greatest technological achievements?

Finally, under everyone's witness, dozens of intercontinental missiles, in the next moment, fell upon the summit of Taishan.

What followed was a tremendous roar, like a mountain collapsing.

Rumble, rumble!

Rumble, rumble!

The next moment, a massive blaze burst from Jade Emperor Peak, shooting upwards.

The powerful explosive force formed a storm, seemingly intent on destroying everything, all reduced to dust.

This power was overwhelming.

One of modern humanity's highest technological achievements.

Thankfully, Taishan was large enough now that even an attack by dozens of missiles could not completely shake it.

Thus, the lower parts were basically unaffected.

But the live broadcast images began to blur due to the explosion, several drones destroyed, falling directly, only one remaining, which also struggled to stay aloft.

Yet it could still transmit images.

But now,

other than smoke and fire, there was nothing else.

Everyone held their breath.

Under such an explosion,

could King Lu really survive?

As time passed, the smoke gradually cleared.

The image started to become clear, and to everyone's shock, there was no change to the ruins at Taishan Jade Emperor Peak.

Even the boulders that had fallen remained intact without the slightest crack, seemingly covered by some special power.

And what astonished them even more was that in the center, there still stood a lone figure.

In an instant, everyone's eyes widened!
