Chapter 177: Dao Sin
At this moment, Guang Ming desperately wished Lu Yang could be here.
After all, if Lu Yang were here, with his strength, he could completely deal with Wu Cang. There would be no need to bring him here, and these things wouldn’t have happened.
What the hell is this thing!
That Wu Cang… was at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. Yet he was possessed so easily. Who exactly is this? A reincarnated Perfected Lord? A Grand Perfected One at Foundation Establishment Perfection?
At this moment, Guang Ming’s thoughts were incredibly chaotic.
Until “Wu Cang” turned his head to look at him, and that [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Script Tushita True Edict] gradually dimmed, turning back into the appearance of a talisman.
“You are also very interesting.”
“Wu Cang” smiled slightly: “The biggest karma entangled on your body points straight to that person named Lu Yang. It seems he has made quite a few enemies. A person from the Primordial Saint Sect?”
Only “Wu Cang” himself knew clearly how difficult it was for it to revive, let alone borrow a body to be reborn and walk out of the barrier set by Daoist Primordial. After all, the dying Perfected One Primordial back then almost used his full power to urge his Life-Bound Divine Ability, drawing a prison with great karma to seal it.
If the karmic affinity didn’t arrive, it could never leave.
And that karma was Perfected One Primordial’s inheritor. Only when they held the Myriad Spirits Banner and used it to guide, could it walk out unharmed.
But in that case, it had to actively let itself be refined by the Myriad Spirits Banner.
And with the domineering nature of the Myriad Spirits Banner, once refined by it, it would be enslaved by humans for eternity. This was also the result Perfected One Primordial wanted to achieve.
However, now, this matter welcomed a new turn of events.
Wu Cang’s appearance gave it a second choice, because Wu Cang was no longer Lu Yang’s opponent, yet the two had long established a karmic fate.
[Wu Cang kills Lu Yang]
Under these circumstances, Wu Cang needed external force.
And it was that external force. As long as it was willing to assume Wu Cang’s identity and take on the karma of killing Lu Yang, it could break free from Perfected One Primordial’s restraints.
With such a heaven-sent opportunity, how could it give up?
In the next second, “Wu Cang’s” gaze fell on Guang Ming, and then Guang Ming discovered with horror that a golden brilliance also appeared on his own body.
“This is your karma.”
Perhaps because it had escaped with great difficulty, “Wu Cang” seemed very talkative— “The Bodhisattva who sent you here is very kind-hearted; he even specifically amplified your karma.”
“At least two kinds of Perfected Lord means were used on this matter. One sent this Wu Cang to me, helping me escape. The other sent you to me, ensuring I could find the target to kill immediately upon escaping. Now, I really want to meet that Lu Yang.”
“Wu Cang’s” face was full of curiosity.
After all, according to its understanding, even in the talent-filled Primordial Saint Sect, there weren’t many Perfected Ones who could draw hatred like this and make people set up such a killing trap.
“Follow me.”
In the next second, “Wu Cang” lifted Guang Ming in one hand, while simultaneously tearing off that bright karmic line from his body.
Karma as guide, tracking ten thousand li.
Immediately afterward, “Wu Cang” took a step out—
“This [DANGER] is getting bigger and bigger.”
On the boundless vast ocean, Lu Yang drove the [Void Crossing Golden Boat] almost turning into a stream of flowing light, raising giant waves that pushed aside the air as he fled rapidly towards the inland.
However, the [DANGER] above his head didn’t dim in the slightest; instead, it became increasingly crimson.
“This kind of change… Could it be I made the wrong choice?” Lu Yang was full of doubts. If he hadn’t made a wrong decision, why would the crisis be getting closer and closer?
What exactly happened?
This was the first time Lu Yang felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he had turned back into the Qi Refining self who couldn’t deduce karma and could only be at the mercy of others.
But in the next second, Lu Yang shook off all distracting thoughts. Compared to back then, the current him was completely different. Even if he couldn’t calculate the source of the crisis, he wasn’t without power to resist… Thinking of this, the [Imperial Order Jade Tablet] bestowed by Perfected One Chong Guang was already held in his hand.
However, perhaps due to being overly nervous, his hand trembled, actually causing the [Imperial Order Jade Tablet] to slip from his palm.
Fortunately, another hand reached out in time, catching the falling [Imperial Order Jade Tablet], preventing it from hitting the ground. Subsequently, a soft chuckle was heard:
“Fellow Daoist, be more careful…”
At this moment, time tended towards stillness. Only a handsome youth with fluttering clothes arrived suddenly across ten thousand li, landing beside Lu Yang!
Boom!
Before the comer’s voice fell, at this critical moment, the [Imperial Order Jade Tablet] in his hand exploded directly, and a figure walked out from it.
Almost simultaneously, Divine Ability brilliance flashed on Lu Yang’s body.
[Determine Intimacy and Distance]!
In the next second, Lu Yang disappeared from the spot, leaving only “Wu Cang” and the figure who walked out from the [Imperial Order Jade Tablet] looking at each other.
“Hmm? Dao Sin…”
The one who walked out from the [Imperial Order Jade Tablet] was a middle-aged man with a grim and stern expression. The moment he saw “Wu Cang,” he revealed a look of surprise.
However, in the next second, an indescribable mighty force crashed down. Only a crisp sound was heard, like a silver vase bursting. In an instant, it erased the figure of that middle-aged man. However, correspondingly, that originally transcendent and otherworldly aura on “Wu Cang” also instantly weakened to the extreme.
For a time, all things became dim and empty.
Completely exceeding the Foundation Establishment level, indescribable mighty forces collided at this moment, causing heaven and earth to go silent. Only after a long time did a figure emerge.
“…Bastard!!!”
“Wu Cang” stood in mid-air, holding the long-unconscious Guang Ming in his hand, his face looking ugly: “Just like Primordial, it’s a Karmic Life-Bound…”
Originally, the moment he appeared, Lu Yang was dead for sure.
The [Imperial Order Jade Tablet] was certainly powerful, but it needed activation. Without activation, it was just a piece of scrap iron. Originally, “Wu Cang” didn’t give Lu Yang a chance to activate it.
However, Lu Yang’s Life-Bound Divine Ability exceeded his expectations. He actually forcibly maintained clarity for a split second and activated the [Imperial Order Jade Tablet] in that instant. Only then did he break “Wu Cang’s” blockade, not only dealing him a heavy blow but also successfully escaping from his hands.
“Do you think you can escape?”
“Wu Cang” looked grim and cold, licking his lips lightly. Continuing to pull the karmic line on Guang Ming, after locking onto Lu Yang’s position, he took another step forward.
Whoosh whoosh—!
This time, what welcomed him was a monstrous sea of blood.
[Heavenly Sea Massacre Sword Formation Diagram]!
Billions of tons of seawater enhanced by the stature of the Avici Sword, raising monstrous giant waves crashing down towards “Wu Cang.” However, “Wu Cang” turned a blind eye to this.
His gaze landed on Lu Yang inside the formation at a glance.
In an instant, Lu Yang only felt his consciousness sink slightly under “Wu Cang’s” gaze. In a trance, he seemed to see a large hand reaching towards him.
Wherever the large hand passed, whatever sea of blood, whatever sword qi, all melted like ice and snow, unable to exist in the world. The two sides were obviously opponents of different levels. Seeing that large hand about to cross the formation obstruction and rest on his neck, Lu Yang finally unleashed his Divine Ability.
[Distinguish Same and Different]!
Cool and refreshing qi swept through his sea of consciousness, once again clearing Lu Yang’s consciousness. Divine Ability brilliance emerged with difficulty, helping Lu Yang disappear from the spot once again.
[Determine Intimacy and Distance]!
Lu Yang’s disappearance again finally wiped away the originally confident smile on “Wu Cang’s” face, replacing it with a touch of coldness.
Meanwhile, nearly ten thousand li away.
“Wu Cang…?”
Lu Yang’s figure escaped from the void accompanied by Divine Ability brilliance, yet a look of shock still remained on his face. He had already recognized the person who took action.
However, he completely couldn’t understand. Why did Wu Cang, who was almost cut in half at the waist by him a few days ago, transform into a mighty figure he completely couldn’t contend with and kill his way over in the blink of an eye? Even a Grand Perfected One at Foundation Establishment Perfection would probably be nothing more than this. What exactly happened in between?
Crack!
Like glazed glass shattering, a crisp sound rang out beside Lu Yang. Then Lu Yang saw a crack, and “Wu Cang” on the other side of the crack.
“Fellow Daoist, please stay…”
The voice came, seeming to possess some kind of demonic nature, making Lu Yang, despite being unwilling in every way, still stand on the spot involuntarily, choosing to surrender without a fight.
No road to heaven! No door to earth!
Dead for sure!?
