Chapter 22: Divine Pig's Mighty Roar Shakes Mountains and Rivers

  First update! (Making up for yesterday) "Yōu Míng Zūn Zhě?" The divine pig lazily glanced at Lù Shǎo Yóu with both eyes, "Seems like there is such a person."

  Lu Shao looked at Shen Zhu with a serious expression and asked: "How strong is that Lord of the Underworld?"

  "What's his strength like?" The divine pig showed a hint of strange expression, then yawned, "It's okay, that kid from the Underworld has decent talent. Let me think... I remember we had a fight back in the day, and there wasn't anything particularly special about him. If I must say something, it seems like he only has one thing going for him - he created some sort of cultivation technique called 'Underworld Great Atmosphere Technique' or something. Its power is just average, far inferior to mine, haha!"

  "What's the origin of the 'Yōu Míng' aura?" Lu Shaoyou's expression solidified for a moment, and he immediately thought of that man named Ming Sha from back then, who carried the 'Yōu Míng' bloodline and seemed to be the reincarnation of the 'Yōu Míng' deity. After some careful consideration, Lu Shaoyou asked the divine pig again: "Do you know what kind of weapon the 'Yōu Míng' deity wields? For example, something like an ancient spear or a long gun?"

  "Weapon?" The divine pig scratched its round body with a small hoof, and its eyes rolled around, saying: "It seems there's no weapon, eh? That little guy is a lone ranger, his outfit isn't even good, he's poor to death, can't compare with me, the great divine pig...?! If he weren't a lone ranger, he wouldn't have died so miserably, humph!"

  "That day, the little kid was holding something that didn't seem to be the Ghost Emperor's weapon......?" Lu Shaoyou muttered to himself.

  The divine pig looked at Lu Shaoyou with an eerie gaze, its eyes fixed on him as it said, "You little brat, you don't have a grudge against that kid from the Underworld, do you?"

  Lu Shao laughed and patted his thigh, fooling everyone, but in reality he had become more vigilant.

  "Alright, you little stinker, stop grinning and get moving! The Great Pig is about to emerge, hurry up! Hurry up and help the Great Pig break through!" The Divine Pig said urgently, "If you can just help the Great Pig escape, I'll agree to teach you the Supreme Ultimate Technique!"

  This divine pig's mental abacus was clattering away, this little guy must be an anomaly! As long as the great divine pig sticks to him tightly, the great divine pig will definitely be able to recover the lost essence early, and who knows, maybe even further... The divine pig's heart was rejoicing, but on his face, he showed a reluctant and disadvantaged expression.

  Lu Shao's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought for a moment before nodding in agreement. Anyway, judging from this divine pig, he wouldn't be at a loss.

  "Divine Pig, what should I do? How can I help you break through?" Lu Shaoyou asked in confusion.

  "It's very simple, isn't there a house not far from you?" The divine pig suppressed the excitement in his heart, and his eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "As long as you enter the house, you will find that there is a golden dharma wheel inside!"

  Lu Shao walked around cautiously and found a thatched cottage beside the stone forest. He approached it carefully, ever since his divine sense was severely impacted by the unknown seal, Lu Shao no longer dared to recklessly use his divine sense to attack. If it happened again, Lu Shao couldn't guarantee he would be as lucky as last time.

  "Ah——" Lu Shaoyou slowly pushed open the dusty bamboo door, took a glance around, and indeed, there was a golden wheel spinning inside the house. The wheel emitted waves of terrifying pressure, making Lu Shaoyou's scalp tingle. This wheel was truly frightening.

  "I'll call this the Annihilation Wheel!" Lu Shao's ears were once again filled with the voice of the divine pig, "As long as you take this treasure, that's all! Don't underestimate this treasure, although it's incomplete. I've observed it for many years before discovering its true nature. Even though it's incomplete, it can still unleash the power of a top-grade Dao artifact! I reckon this treasure must be a divine artifact from the immortal realm that has fallen into the mortal world! As long as you take it, this treasure will be yours, courtesy of me, the great pig! This treasure, I've been using the Supreme Annihilation Technique to grind it down, but this damned thing is still incredibly powerful, and can still unleash the power of a top-grade Dao artifact!"

  A peerless treasure! Lu Shaoyou's heart skipped a beat in an instant!

  What is a Daoist artifact? That's the treasure of one who has attained the Dao! It's the highest treasure that can be borne by mortals, and there are many grades among treasures, from high to low: Daoist artifacts, spiritual artifacts, precious artifacts, and law artifacts. Each grade is further divided into four categories: top-grade, high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade.

  Law artifacts are the most common type of treasure and are the most frequently seen weapons in the vast expanse of the universe. Precious artifacts are less common, while spiritual artifacts are even rarer because they possess spirituality and will be struck by heavenly lightning. As for Daoist artifacts, they are extremely rare, usually only possessed by giant sects or clans.

  Top-grade Daoist artifacts are absolutely rare, and even giant sects may not necessarily have one. Top-grade Daoist artifacts are often used as gate guardians, suppressing the flow of energy to maintain the vitality of the entire clan or sect. Some imperial dynasties also use them to combine with their own vital energy, jointly suppressing the imperial vital energy!

  Although Lu Shaoyou's heart was burning with unprecedented heat, his mind remained extremely calm. The mighty power of the Daoist artifact? Was it something he could handle himself? Just as he was hesitating about whether to approach or not, a massive force suddenly burst forth from behind Lu Shaoyou, pushing him towards the Golden Dharmachakra, almost causing him to fall over.

  Lu Shao's face turned iron-green, and he cursed loudly in his heart. This dead fat pig was always so shameless, specializing in deceiving him, letting himself be repeatedly framed by him!

  But at this time, Lu Shaoyou had no time to think carefully, because the golden law wheel was rolling towards him! The waves of golden light scattered like ripples, but strangely, the thatched hut remained motionless, standing upright there. Lu Shaoyou let out a loud shout, and his body emitted a sacred, majestic, and arrogant aura that looked down on all ages, this aura spread out, not only did the divine pig open its eyes wide, even the entire sky and earth hummed softly!

  "The divine pig let out a low growl in its heart: 'What kind of freak is this kid?! The cultivation method he's using is actually shaking the heavens and earth!'"

  "Hmm...? This kid's kung fu seems to be only elementary level, although it has a vast and profound atmosphere, but it doesn't seem to have very strong combat skills. It seems that only his footwork and palm technique are not bad, possessing an aura that can swallow mountains and rivers, devour the sun and moon, grasp the sky, and dominate the universe. It's not some simple combat skill, unfortunately, this kid hasn't cultivated it to the extreme, and is unable to exert any powerful abilities. Never mind, never mind, it seems like it's only going to be like this!" The divine pig looked at Lu Shaoyou, who was facing the golden annihilation wheel with no resistance whatsoever, shook its head, seemingly thinking of something.

  "Roar——"

  "Roar——"

  "Roar——" The divine pig suddenly stood up, its entire body swelling like a balloon, its aura bursting out violently, as if it were a giant standing between heaven and earth! Opening its pig mouth, it let out three consecutive roars!

  A fierce roar shook the universe, shaking the mountains and rivers! Even the entire array was shaken. Lu Shaoyou originally thought that his whole body's skeleton would be crushed into powder, but suddenly the pressure eased, followed by the divine pig's three thunderous roars! Lu Shaoyou had never seen the divine pig take action before, only to see it stand up and shake its body, transforming into a plump young boy with a body that expanded to tens of meters in size.

  The divine pig is indeed a great power of the ancient times! Lu Shao Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart, even after being trapped for tens of thousands of years, it still exuded an aura of ferocity, making Lu Shao Yu suddenly understand why Ling Qing Yun had a look of reverence and admiration when talking about the great powers of ancient times.
