Previously on Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques...
Within the Treasure Vault of Red Moon City, Lu Changsheng suddenly lifted his gaze, directing it towards a specific point in the void.
Great Immortal Lu appeared slightly taken aback.
He swiftly grasped Lu Changsheng's meaning.
"Daoist Lu, is it truly necessary to stand against them?"
Great Immortal Lu's tone betrayed a lingering uncertainty.
In truth, it wasn't mere hesitation but a deep-seated fear that had taken root.
Previously, when Great Immortal Red Moon was present, such apprehension was absent.
After all, any impending calamity would surely be shouldered by Great Immortal Red Moon.
But the circumstances had drastically changed.
With Great Immortal Red Moon now deceased and the Dao Field rendered useless, it was just the two of them facing a dozen, or perhaps even scores, of immortals.
The immense pressure was palpable.
Lu Changsheng cast a glance at Great Immortal Lu.
He fully comprehended the sentiment behind Great Immortal Lu's question.
"The contents of the Treasure Vault have not yet been fully relocated."
"Moreover, my ambition extends beyond what is merely contained within the Treasure Vault."
"I intend to claim all of Red Moon City!"
"As per our prior accord, should Daoist Lu feel apprehension and desire a temporary withdrawal, that is acceptable. However, you must forfeit any treasures you have acquired."
Lu Changsheng offered no consolation to Great Immortal Lu's pride.
To consider retreating at this critical juncture?
Then, relinquishing all spoils was the non-negotiable price.
The choice between remaining or departing rested solely with Great Immortal Lu.
Great Immortal Lu's eyes flickered with indecision.
His primary objective in venturing to Red Moon City had been to ascertain how Great Immortal Red Moon had overcome the second body tribulation.
Yet, he was met with disappointment.
There was no mystical technique, no secret method, nor any profound treasure involved.
It was solely attributed to Great Immortal Red Moon's inherent power, a miraculous survival through sheer fortune during the second body tribulation.
For Great Immortal Lu, the treasures amassed here held little practical value.
They offered no assistance in navigating his own impending second body tribulation.
With this realization, Great Immortal Lu arrived at his decision.
"Daoist Lu, I must offer my apologies."
"The treasures I have recently obtained, I shall leave behind. But Red Moon City, I will not remain within..."
Having spoken, Great Immortal Lu promptly abandoned his acquired possessions.
He then made a swift exit from the Treasure Vault, soaring away from Red Moon City.
Lu Changsheng observed Great Immortal Lu's retreating form, his expression composed.
This outcome was entirely anticipated.
Since Great Immortal Lu had failed to uncover the information he sought, it was only natural that he would absolve himself of his commitment.
Nevertheless, this course of action had been mutually agreed upon beforehand, leaving no room for ambiguity.
By failing to uphold his end of the bargain, Great Immortal Lu gained nothing.
Now, the entirety of Red Moon City belonged exclusively to Lu Changsheng.
"All alone once more..."
Lu Changsheng let out a short laugh.
From the Boundary Sea to the Immortal Realm, had he not always trod this solitary path?
The current situation felt strikingly familiar.
Facing overwhelming odds, standing isolated against all adversaries.
It was as if he had been transported back to the Boundary Sea in a dreamlike state.
Since his arrival in the Heavenly Realm, Lu Changsheng had not experienced a truly 'heart-stopping' confrontation.
"Whoosh."
In the following instant, Lu Changsheng stepped forth from the Treasure Vault.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The heavens above Red Moon City convulsed violently.
An oppressive, terrifying aura enveloped the entire city.
Every inhabitant craned their necks, staring in bewilderment at the void above.
Vaguely discernible, a series of 'chains' appeared to be constricting and sealing off Red Moon City entirely.
Countless individuals within Red Moon City desperately sought to escape.
Alas, beneath the oppressive grip of these chains, escape proved impossible.
Within Red Moon City, many were aware of the Dao Field's collapse.
However, before they could process the implications or formulate any response, Red Moon City was sealed.
Some could vaguely surmise the dire events about to unfold.
Red Moon City had basked in tranquility for an extended period.
So long, in fact, that the notion of impending danger seemed unfathomable.
After all, with Great Immortal Red Moon's imposing presence, who would dare provoke trouble within its borders?
Yet, the crisis had now undeniably arrived.
"Fortunately, I escaped by mere moments. Otherwise, with these Immortal Arrays sealing Red Moon City, even I would face significant difficulty in breaking free..."
Great Immortal Lu had successfully extricated himself from Red Moon City.
Casting a backward glance, he witnessed multiple Immortal Arrays encasing Red Moon City.
Not a singular array, but a formidable network of them.
It was evident that the approaching immortals had come meticulously prepared.
The moment the Red Moon Dao Field faltered, they were poised to deploy the Immortal Arrays to seal the city.
Only through Great Immortal Lu's swift and decisive action had he evaded this impending doom.
However, Lu Changsheng was now trapped.
"A True Immortal, even one who has successfully condensed three Dao Fruits, will meet their demise in Red Moon City today."
"A truly ill-advised undertaking..."
Great Immortal Lu shook his head.
While both had harbored their respective strategies prior.
Nevertheless, when reality dictated the impossibility of their plans, making a resolute choice became paramount.
Despite amassing numerous treasures, Lu Changsheng’s greed knew no bounds.
His ambition extended to claiming the entirety of Red Moon City.
Consequently, he found himself ensnared within its walls, facing bleak prospects.
Great Immortal Lu sensed that Lu Changsheng was in grave peril this time.
An escape appeared virtually impossible.
The assembled opposition of immortals presented an overwhelming force.
Nearly all of them were Great Immortals.
How could anyone possibly contend with such a formidable contingent?
Victory was out of the question!
Even a direct charge would only lead to certain death.
Nevertheless, Great Immortal Lu did not abandon his vigil.
He retreated to a considerable distance from Red Moon City, yet continued to observe intently.
After all, it was he who had brought Lu Changsheng to Red Moon City.
Great Immortal Lu was determined to witness the ultimate outcome.
...
Within Red Moon City, under the command of Great Immortal Kongyuan, a grand total of thirteen Great Immortals made their descent!
These thirteen Great Immortals unleashed their terrifying auras without reservation.
The sheer power suppressed the entire Red Moon City!
Countless individuals prostrated themselves, utterly unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure emanating from the thirteen Great Immortals.
Great Immortal Kongyuan positioned himself high in the void, casting his gaze down upon all existence.
He surveyed the scene and then let out a cold sneer, remarking, "When Great Immortal Red Moon was still alive, these insignificant beings didn't even show fear towards us immortals."
"Now that Great Immortal Red Moon has perished, these vermin have reverted to their true nature, becoming mere ants once again."
