211: The Lu brothers became emperors

Looking outside the barrier again.

Inside the area, only a few unlucky souls without Jade Talismans, the Ice Emperor's group, and the Lu Family's group remained.

At this moment, the Sun Emperor and the Ice Emperor were communicating secretly via sound transmission, exchanging information.

"Lord Ice Emperor, I didn't expect An Lan's Sword Tomb to contain a treasure like a godhead fragment. We must obtain it!"

The Ice Emperor nodded silently. This was also something he hadn't anticipated, or else he wouldn't have only sent a Clone here.

"As for those two members of the Lu Family, judging by their Aura, it seems they are about to Break through to the Imperial Rank. This is extremely disadvantageous for us, and they are certainly carrying important Family treasures. We won't have the advantage inside!"

After a pause, the Ice Emperor seemed to have made up his mind.

"Sun Emperor, my Main Body is temporarily not on this Plane and cannot be contacted. You should summon your Main Body here."

"Guard this place. Even if we gain nothing inside, those people wouldn't dare move against us. Once the ruins close, we will wait here like hunters, and we must secure the godhead fragment."

"That's the only way," the Sun Emperor nodded, agreeing with the Ice Emperor's suggestion.

"It will probably take three days."

"No matter. We will postpone our entry by three days; the impact won't be significant. That Sword Tomb is not simple, and we don't need the basic Treasure Trove." The Ice Emperor spoke, setting the final tone.

At the same time, Lu Ming and Lu Hong were also communicating via secret sound transmission.

"Brother, are you also about to Break through? I am too. If it weren't for the rumor that Imperial Rank cultivators cannot enter these ruins, I would have already broken through. Now, I must enter the Sword Tomb space before Breaking through."

"Younger Brother, that's right, I plan the same, but the treasures inside this Sword Tomb are too crucial. Even the two of us might not be enough!"

"That Ice Emperor's Clone is extraordinary. Although he is at the Peak of the Saint Rank, I feel he is no weaker than an ordinary Imperial Rank First Level cultivator from our Family!"

"Brother, let's send a message to Third Elder! He is Imperial Rank Third Level. Let him guard this place. I doubt any petty villains would dare offend us, and he can also secure the godhead fragment."

Coincidentally, the Lu Family's secret plotting aligned perfectly with the Ice Emperor's plan.

Three days later.

This part of the world was suddenly locked onto by a majestic figure, and the sky was violently torn open.

A figure that could not be looked at directly stepped out from the sky, entered this world, and instantly stood before the Sun Emperor.

This person's face was identical to the Sun Emperor's—it was his Main Body arriving.

With a casual wave of his robe, space shattered inch by inch. He glared at the two Lu Family members, "Why haven't you entered the Sword Tomb yet! Enter the Sword Tomb immediately."

"What if we don't enter the Sword Tomb? What business is it of yours! Sun Emperor, how dare you interfere with the affairs of our Lu Family?"

The Sun Emperor flew into a rage, "Hmph? You dare defy this Emperor's will? Three breaths of time. If you don't enter, you'll never enter again."

Just at this moment... "Hahaha! Sun Emperor, your Heavenly Punishment Army has grown bold, daring to interfere with the Imperial Sons of our Lu Family. What are you even?"

The voice came from tens of thousands of miles away. As the speaker turned, the Void Realm tore open, the entire space was suppressed, and a great figure suddenly teleported over... It was the Lu Family's Elder arriving just in time, Imperial Rank Third Level, clearly stronger than the Sun Emperor.

"Haha, it's Third Elder! We respectfully welcome Third Elder." Lu Ming and Lu Hong shouted excitedly.

The Third Elder turned to look at the two, immediately shocked, "Young Lords, you are about to advance to the Imperial Rank! Congratulations! If the Family Head knew, he would surely be overjoyed."

"Heh heh, Lu Family Third Elder, you're showing such great temper right after arriving. Are you trying to wipe us all out?"

The person before them was not someone the Sun Emperor could handle; only the Ice Emperor could step forward.

"Oh, so Lord Ice Emperor is here too," the Third Elder turned and smiled.

"Your Main Body is not on this Plane, so I assume you can't rush over! However, my Lu Family naturally does not wish to be enemies with the Heavenly Punishment Army or Lord Ice Emperor. How about this: regarding the Treasure Trove, we will rely on our own abilities inside. I and the Sun Emperor will guard this place, and we will rely on our own abilities to compete."

The Ice Emperor and the Sun Emperor exchanged deep glances, understanding the other's meaning. They nodded slightly. This was considered the best way to handle the situation.

From beginning to end, the two Imperial Rank cultivators did not spare a glance for the other Saint Rank cultivators. To them, these were all ants, not worth the trouble of stepping on.

The Sun Emperor Clone and the Ice Emperor Clone had no choice but to enter the Secret Realm, hoping to get the godhead fragment into their own hands.

Under the Third Elder's instructions, the Lu Family brothers also teleported inside.

Now, only hundreds of Saint Rank cultivators unwilling to leave and the two Imperial Rank cultivators remained in the area.

About half a day later, the Sword Tomb suddenly erupted with intense light, so bright that even the two Imperial Rank cultivators couldn't open their eyes. The barrier suddenly burst forth with a powerful suction force, and those people were instantly sucked in. The space returned to tranquility... Just as the two Lu Family brothers simultaneously teleported into the Sword Tomb, their Aura suddenly erupted, and the heavens and earth sounded a loud explosion.

"Boom!"

Above Lu Ming and Lu Hong's heads, patches of Lightning Clouds, each about a hundred miles wide, appeared.

Inside the Lightning Clouds, electric arcs continuously flashed, and thunder was brewing. In just a moment, a Sea of Lightning formed.

"Crack," a bolt of Thunder suddenly struck down. The unique destructive Aura of the Heavenly Tribulation made all things tremble. This was the Heavenly Dao's test: pass and live, fail and... Such a vast commotion naturally shocked all Living Beings inside the Sword Tomb. Knowing that someone was advancing to the Imperial Rank made everyone feel very urgent.

For this, the two brothers made extensive preparations. Several Sacred Artifacts rose up, wrapping them tightly.

Countless Heaven And Earth Treasures and Medicinal Pills were all stuffed into their mouths, preparing for injuries in the upcoming great battle.

"Come! Today is the day I advance to become an Emperor; even the heavens cannot stop me." Lu Ming's heroic spirit soared, completely fearless.

"Boom!" The first bolt of Thunder directly struck the Sacred Artifact Formation. The Power of Destruction was blocked by the Formation, and the Dao Rhyme of Life poured through the Formation into the bodies of the two brothers.

Countless insights, like spiritual enlightenment, cleansed their marrow and tendons, continuously transforming their bodies, advancing them from Saint Bodies to Imperial Bodies, and eliminating large amounts of Impurities.

"Boom~ Boom~ Boom..."

The Heavenly Thunder grew denser and more violent, bearing its fangs and brandishing its claws. The fainthearted could be scared to death instantly.

The sharpness of the bolts of Heavenly Thunder continuously transformed and evolved the two brothers' bodies.

An hour later, the Heavenly Tribulation finally stopped. Protected by countless Family foundations, the two brothers successfully passed the Lightning Tribulation.

Having advanced to become Emperors, the temperament of the two men changed drastically at this moment.

A noble Aura emanated from their bodies. This was the leap in the essence of life; from then on, they were no longer Mortal Beings.

"Hahaha!" The two brothers looked at each other and burst into loud laughter simultaneously, completely unrestrained and wildly triumphant.

Inside the Lu Family Island.

When the two brothers passed the Lightning Tribulation, their Soul Plaques within the clan simultaneously trembled, which was noticed by the guarding clansmen.

"Congratulations, Family Head! The Aura on the two Young Masters' Soul Plaques has transformed. Imperial Might has appeared! They have achieved the Imperial Rank!"

Several Elders were also extremely excited at this moment, congratulating the rise of the Lu Family.

The expression on the statue was also fluctuating at this time, subtly revealing a hint of a smile.

"Good, very good. My sons have extraordinary Aptitude, inheriting this Emperor's Bloodline with high concentration. Their future achievements are limitless. This is the fortune of my Lu Family."
