Chapter 240: Fight Once More!
At this moment, Chong Guang’s figure soared into the sky again.
Soaring along with him was [Cave Sun Blessed Land], which had already been heavily plundered by Lu Yang and the crowd of Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones, leaving only a small central area.
Compared to before, this was undoubtedly much shabbier.
Presumably, even if he ascended to the Dao Fruit and transformed it into a Grotto-Heaven, there would be huge flaws, requiring a long time to slowly repair the damaged Grotto-Heaven.
But no matter what, there was a sliver of a chance!
And even with just a sliver of a chance, Chong Guang didn’t hesitate at all. He had already begun his ascension, and a thick talisman book appeared out of thin air in his hand.
[Shared Fate Changing Fortune Record Book].
This item, which had fallen into Hong Ju’s hands, was crafted by Daoist Hong Yun in the past and taken from the Dao Fruit [Overturned Lamp Flame]. It was a method truly involving the Golden Core realm.
Previously, Hong Ju had lent it to Lu Yang to write a sentence, using it to assassinate the King of Qing, and then took it back. Who would have thought that after Hong Ju’s death, this Dao Fruit treasure was quietly reclaimed by Chong Guang? Now that he had taken it out, what was he planning to do?
Soon, Lu Yang understood Chong Guang’s intention.
He opened the [Shared Fate Changing Fortune Record Book], and halos of round light emerged behind his head. It was the massive merit and fate he possessed from his past as a Natural Immortal Spirit!
And at this moment, he used up all of this merit and fate!
Immortal Spirits were born of heaven and earth, favored by the world, with fate and merit far exceeding others. But now, it was only enough for Chong Guang to write six short characters in the book:
[I can make Chen Earth return…]
The sixth character had already exhausted all of Chong Guang’s merit and fate. Monstrous tribulation Qi had already surfaced. If he died this time, he would inevitably be reincarnated as pigs and dogs for a hundred lifetimes!
Yet even so, Chong Guang’s expression remained calm.
Even his eyes remained clear, obviously having used some secret technique to temporarily evade the influence of the tribulation Qi. His hands didn’t slow down in the slightest.
Immediately after, he looked at the crowd of Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators present.
Then he smiled kindly:
“Everyone, please lend me a hand.”
As his voice fell, almost everyone felt their own merit and fate being pulled by something, surging uncontrollably toward Chong Guang!
However, Lu Yang was no longer surprised by this; he was even used to it.
This trick again…!
Among the Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones present, who hadn’t taken things from [Cave Sun Blessed Land]? These were all karma, and now they had to repay it!
Especially Lu Yang, who had stripped Chong Ming almost bare and taken so many treasures. The karma he owed Chong Guang had long been rolling with interest upon interest, impossible to pay off. At this moment, Chong Guang’s secret technique naturally showed him no mercy, seemingly intent on draining all his fate away!
For a moment, countless people wanted to withdraw from the Blessed Land.
However, when they activated their escape lights, they discovered that the entire Blessed Land had been completely sealed off. Relying solely on their Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, they couldn’t rush out at all!
In the past, with Perfected Lords keeping watch outside, they would have intervened to fish people out.
But now?
The Perfected Lords outside had already changed their minds. It was too late for them to help Chong Guang break through, so how could they stop him? They would only sit and watch as things developed!
And with Chong Guang’s cultivation base, suppressing a group of Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators was as easy as flipping his hand!
I knew it… Saint Sect Perfected Ones cannot be trusted!
Seeing this, Lu Yang also sighed. “Didn’t Uncle-Master say one must rely on oneself?”
“That’s right.”
Perfected One Chong Guang smiled faintly. “I relied on my own ability to plunder this merit and fate, so how can you say I’m not relying on myself? Yuan Tu, you should just endure it a bit longer.”
However, in the next second, Chong Guang’s voice abruptly stagnated.
Because in Lu Yang’s hand, the [Avici Sword] suddenly erupted with a burst of light. The [Dragon-Severing] divine wonder operated, and the sword edge pointed remotely in Chong Guang’s direction.
“Uncle-Master, make a decision.”
Lu Yang’s face was calm. Since he had robbed Chong Ming, how could he not have anticipated the trouble involved? Naturally, he dared to strike underhandedly only because he was confident in dealing with it.
“Will you stop yourself, or shall I slash out with this sword?”
This sword naturally couldn’t physically harm Chong Guang, but with the boost of the [Dragon-Severing] divine wonder, it could slash fate!
Chong Guang had gone through untold hardships to collect the fate of so many people. If Lu Yang slashed him with this sword, causing his efforts to fall short at the last moment, that would truly be a devastating loss!
With this thought, a smile instantly appeared on Perfected One Chong Guang’s face:
“Yuan Tu, you misunderstand. I was just testing your capabilities. Seeing this now, you are indeed a pillar of talent for my Saint Sect, with a limitless future.”
Lu Yang smiled as well. “Uncle-Master praises me too much.”
After speaking, the two exchanged a look.
Cunning little fox!
Dogshit!
The camaraderie of fellow disciples from the past was now completely torn apart. After a moment of silence, Perfected One Chong Guang spoke faintly, “You want a Rank 2 True Art?”
“…Oh?”
Only then did Lu Yang’s eyes light up slightly, knowing he had finally caught Chong Guang’s eye. The other party was no longer forcing his way but choosing to negotiate a deal with him.
Chong Guang said in a deep voice, “I know you’ve talked to Miaoyin. She gave you the fragment of the Qian Heaven Primordial All-Governing Divine Method but didn’t give you the critical [Qi Harvesting Method]. Also, that Ye Guyue from the Sword Pavilion has a Rank 2 True Art on her. You want them, right?”
“I can give them to you!”
Chong Guang said indifferently, “Give me one-third of your merit and fate, and I can give you the complete original copy of the Qian Heaven Primordial All-Governing Divine Method right now.”
“After this, I will specifically leave behind a fragment of the Blessed Land.”
“When I ascend the Blessed Land again, I will put you and that Ye Guyue from the Sword Pavilion together. Her fate is currently deficient, and she won’t be your match.”
“At the same time, I will seal the Blessed Land to ensure she cannot escape.”
“When that time comes, you can have her however you wish.”
Hearing this, Lu Yang fell into silence.
He had to admit, Chong Guang’s proposal moved him greatly. After all, his biggest goal on this trip was to obtain a Rank 2 True Art.
“But Uncle-Master, how can I trust that you will keep your promise?”
Before Lu Yang finished speaking, Chong Guang raised his hand and threw out a streak of brilliant light. A sweep of divine sense confirmed it was exactly the complete original copy of the Qian Heaven Primordial All-Governing Divine Method!
“Like this. Even if I don’t keep my promise, you won’t suffer a loss.”
“…Deal!”
Seeing this, Lu Yang finally made a decision. He didn’t plan to push too hard; threats were only for benefits. A fight to the death would be meaningless.
Thinking of this, he no longer resisted Chong Guang’s absorption of fate.
Chong Guang didn’t play any tricks either. He only took one-third of the merit and fate, then turned his gaze back to the [Shared Fate Changing Fortune Record Book].
Lifting his brush, the final character fell: [Yang]
[I can make Chen Earth return to Yang]!
Boom!
In an instant, the mighty power from the [Overturned Lamp Flame] connected with heaven and earth, crashing down onto Chong Guang, then expanding outward in all directions with him as the center!
Previously, Chong Guang had merely changed the attribute of the [Chen Earth] in his own hands back to Yang Earth. But now, through the Dao Fruit treasure, he was expanding this reversal to the entire heaven and earth! He was ostensibly going to change all the [Chen Earth] attributes between heaven and earth from Yin Earth back to Yang Earth!
“Fight once more!”
Chong Guang’s voice resounded in all directions. In an instant, everyone, including Lu Yang, was thrown out of the Blessed Land by him. Then, the Blessed Land began to ascend again!
However, in that very instant.
Whoosh!
Clouds and rosy mist filled the sky; purple Qi came from the East.
In just the blink of an eye, vast purple Qi, like a boundless long river, traversed North and South, forcibly severing Chong Guang’s path of ascension!
Following it was a thunderous shout of reprimand—
“You’re courting death!”
