Chapter 241: Hope to Seize [City Rampart Earth]!
A light reprimand. It wasn’t a hysterical, angry curse, yet it was incredibly heavy, almost like two great mountains crashing down upon the hearts of all who heard it.
Immediately after—
Rumble!
The long river of purple Qi traversing North and South suddenly split. One produced two, two produced three, and three produced all things, spreading open a spiderweb of cracks.
Then, the cracks turned into real, tangible rifts, forcibly prying open the entire river of purple Qi out of thin air. Behind the split river of purple Qi was a pair of unimaginably massive eyes that seemed to occupy the entire sky. Cold, piercing, and devoid of emotion, they looked down upon the world.
Thud!
In an instant, countless mortals and even Qi Refining cultivators could not control themselves. They prostrated themselves one after another, kneeling continuously, fundamentally unable to meet the gaze of those eyes.
Only Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones could barely stand steady.
Even so, Lu Yang still felt a monstrous pressure landing on his body and his sea of consciousness, making him almost instinctively want to kneel.
What the fuck is this…!
Lu Yang’s heart shook violently. It wasn’t like he hadn’t seen a Golden Core Perfected Lord take action before; he had even seen it twice. But neither time had given him such a huge shock!
After all, a Golden Core Perfected Lord still looked somewhat human. Although a Perfected Lord’s Dharma Body stood tall between heaven and earth, it was still humanoid in the end, just slightly bigger. It wasn’t incomprehensible. However, that pair of purple Qi eyes appearing in the dome of the sky at this moment seemed to have completely transcended the category of “human”!
In the next second, the purple Qi eyes slowly focused their gaze.
Instantly, that indescribably massive pressure crashed down onto Chong Guang. With just this one look, Chong Guang, who was in the midst of ascension, suddenly felt as if he had suffered a heavy blow.
Crack!
The [Cave Sun Blessed Land], which had already been reduced several times over and had only a central area left, exploded with countless cracks, looking as if it were about to be crushed by that gaze!
They were completely not on the same level.
However, at this very moment, heavy snow suddenly began to fall from the dome of the sky, and a palm, warm and smooth as jade, suddenly landed on the [Cave Sun Blessed Land].
Boom!
The jade hand blossomed with brilliant light, carrying infinite mighty power. In an instant, it actually kneaded the shattered [Cave Sun Blessed Land] back together, smoothing out all the cracks.
Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue!
At this moment, this famous “crazy woman” of the Saint Sect looked excited, gazing fearlessly at the purple Qi eyes in the sky. “It really is Late Stage!”
As her voice fell, scarlet light suddenly rose in Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue’s beautiful eyes.
Then she looked at Chong Guang and said coldly:
“You continue.”
Perfected One Chong Guang didn’t respond. instead, he pushed the Blessed Land with all his might, reversing [Chen Earth] and slowly ascending toward the direction of the [Overturned Lamp Flame].
“I want to see if it really is Sky-Shrouding!”
As soon as these words came out, Golden Core Perfected Lords from the Dao Court, the Pure Land, the Sword Pavilion, and overseas vanished from their spots. Replacing them was the sudden brightening of stars in the dome of the sky!
Every star that lit up was a Dao Fruit!
At this moment, everyone in the world sensed it. The starlight hanging down was like chains falling straight onto the purple Qi eyes.
Under their oppression, the purple Qi eyes that originally spanned heaven and earth gradually shrank. The mighty purple Qi, vast as a long river, also gathered back into one. Finally, it transformed into an illusory figure. Its face was unclear, its gender indistinguishable, and it let out a light chuckle that sounded male yet female, old yet young:
“Why bother?”
This light chuckle was completely different from the initial “You seek death.” It was no longer cold and indifferent but truly possessed human emotions.
In the next second, heaven and earth went dim.
All karma and heavenly secrets were obscured at this moment. Nothing could be seen. Even Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones could not speculate on the battle situation in the sky right now.
Amazing, simply amazing…
Lu Yang lowered his head, two lines of bloody tears streaming from his eyes. This was the price for looking directly at the battlefield just now. But thanks to that, he had also seen clearly.
At least ten!
Aside from Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue, another mysterious Perfected Lord from the Saint Sect had taken action. At the same time, Perfected Lords from the Pure Land, the Dao Court, the Sword Pavilion, and overseas had all manifested.
More than the number of fingers on two hands!
But… this is also my chance! Now that heavenly secrets are concealed and no one can calculate what happens afterward, it’s a great opportunity for murder and robbery!
In an instant, Lu Yang thought of many things.
Clearly, as soon as this mysterious mighty figure who reversed [Chen Earth] appeared, they almost immediately became the target of public criticism. No one was willing to let them go.
However, correspondingly—
The various factions at this moment are probably somewhat empty!
Including the Pure Land!
At this moment, a bold idea suddenly sprouted in Lu Yang’s heart:
Wait a few more lifetimes. If I can seize this great opportunity, is it possible to take advantage of the emptiness in the Pure Land… to get the [City Rampart Earth] Dao Fruit out?
Although there was still a Dao Lord guarding the Pure Land, the Saint Sect also had a Dao Lord. The two canceled each other out. What he would have to deal with was nothing more than a group of Bodhisattvas in the Pure Land. Taking advantage of the current emptiness, if a daring Perfected Lord was willing to cooperate, there might be a chance to extract the [City Rampart Earth]!
But I can’t rush this matter…
Snatching the [City Rampart Earth] would benefit the Saint Sect, so there would definitely be a Perfected Lord willing to do it. But he had to demonstrate sufficient value, at least reaching the Perfection of Foundation Establishment.
Ideally, as soon as it’s snatched out, I immediately seeking Golden Core…
[City Rampart Earth] has been trapped for a long time. As a hidden Dao Fruit, I am the only one cultivating the relevant technique. It’s almost impossible for it to reject me.
The difficulty lay entirely with the Pure Land.
But thinking from another angle, as long as the trouble with the Pure Land could be solved and the [City Rampart Earth] snatched out, he would almost certainly become a Perfected Lord. His hope was even greater than Chong Guang’s!
Taking a step back, I don’t even need to snatch it ‘out.’ As long as I get my hands on it, even if I’m still in the Pure Land… worst case scenario, I restart and bring the Dao Fruit back with me!
Thinking of this, Lu Yang felt his train of thought broaden.
Uncle-Master Chong Guang, you did well!
If not for Perfected One Chong Guang seeking golden core and exposing such a major issue as the [Chen Earth] attribute being changed, he would have had to choose to give up on [City Rampart Earth] in the future.
But now, things had taken a new turn!
When he cultivated to the Perfection of Foundation Establishment in the future, this might not be a bad path to golden core! Although fraught with danger, if he succeeded, the returns would be equally bountiful!
Just then, Lu Yang suddenly felt the void shake violently. Immediately after, he discovered he had actually returned to the Blessed Land… no, a fragment of the Blessed Land. On the other side, he saw a sword light falling from the sky. Chong Guang had actually kept his promise and sent Ye Guyue over!
But soon, Lu Yang frowned again. “Not just her…”
Besides Ye Guyue, several other streaks of escape light also fell into the Blessed Land fragment together.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang immediately collected his thoughts. Then, using [Hidden Stellar Radiance] to conceal his aura, he quietly stealthily approached.
“…Business first!”
Ye Guyue still had a Rank 2 True Art on her. To let his world-shocking wisdom play its role, naturally, the more reference materials, the better!
