Chapter 373: Sudden Desperate Situation
Guang Ming’s appearance solved the doubts in Lu Yang’s heart.
Why was Heaven and Earth so anxious to act?
Because the World Honored One was targeting him!
In an instant, Lu Yang was almost scared out of his wits. After all, the World Honored One was the most ridiculous and shameless person he had encountered in ten lifetimes of cultivation.
A Nascent Soul Dao Lord going after a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator?
But the problem is, on what basis am I worthy of being targeted by the World Honored One?
This was completely unreasonable.
Of course, Lu Yang also momentarily suspected if it was possible that in the previous life where the World Honored One almost caught him restarting, some hidden danger was left behind.
But he quickly denied it.
Absolutely impossible!
After all, that was several lifetimes ago. If it were truly so, I would have been caught by the World Honored One and refined instantly in the previous life.
Feeling the urgency transmitted from Heaven and Earth, Lu Yang’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly realized: Wrong. Incorrect… I got the cause and effect reversed! It’s not because the World Honored One targeted me that Heaven and Earth is anxious to act, but because Heaven and Earth has been supporting me that the World Honored One targeted me because of it!
In short, it was because of the identity of the Immortal Spirit!
I suspected the purpose of the Immortal Spirit’s existence before. In my view, it seemed like something Heaven and Earth specifically spawned to occupy the [Dao Fruit]…
Now it seemed, he hit the nail on the head!
If my guess isn’t wrong, the four Dao Lords are probably wrestling with Heaven and Earth. Heaven and Earth wants to support the Immortal Spirit, while the Dao Lords want to suppress it!
This guess also solved another doubt he had before.
Why did the Immortal Spirit also have to undergo tribulation?
As Heaven’s most beloved child, his cultivation should have been green-lit all the way, without bottlenecks.
But the result?
He not only had to undergo the Foundation Establishment Late Stage [Heavenly Thunder Tribulation] but even the Foundation Establishment Perfection [Five Decays of Heaven and Man]. Not a single difficulty was missing.
Now it seems… these might not have been sent down by Heaven and Earth!
But by the Dao Lords!
No wonder not a single Immortal Spirit had grown up in so many years. Ninety-nine percent of them were probably secretly interrupted by the Dao Lords, or even recruited by them…
The Saint Sect had a typical example— Chong Guang!
What Natural Immortal Spirit? A huge pit!
The result is that the Immortal Spirits painstakingly cultivated by Heaven and Earth all made wedding clothes for the Dao Lords and finally became talents under the four Dao Lords…
Rumble!
The whispers in his ears intensified. In the image, Guang Ming was clearly speeding towards the Myriad Poison Cult. Time was running out.
Lu Yang had a sudden flash of insight, understanding that this was Heaven and Earth urging him, reminding him. In human words: Rest assured, you are daddy’s favorite cub. Everything just now was a misunderstanding. Daddy just wanted to save you. Quickly open your mind so Daddy can help you ascend to the sky in one step…
“I believe your ass!”
Lu Yang didn’t waver at all, still holding onto this line of clarity. Good for me? Want to save me? If so, you wouldn’t have made me inexplicably drowsy just now!
Ultimately, you still want to harm me!
That being said, Lu Yang couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless. Heaven and Earth and the World Honored One, wolves in front and tigers behind, giving him absolutely no room to maneuver.
Fine… Self-destruct!
You guys win; this round is yours.
Lu Yang had a thought.
However, in the next second, his expression froze slightly because his Immortal Spirit body was now firmly imprisoned by the [Moon Worship Sacred Pool].
He cant commit suicide!
This time Lu Yang’s expression truly changed.
If it were just ordinary inability to commit suicide, Lu Yang wouldn’t care. As long as he guarded his mind, he could always find a chance… But the World Honored One was right outside!
If he really let him come to the door and couldn’t commit suicide.
Then it would probably be game over!
Not to mention the World Honored One’s target for this trip was eighty percent likely him, wanting to snatch meat from Heaven and Earth’s mouth. It was almost certain he came to convert him!
Without rhyme or reason, without giving Lu Yang any mental preparation. one second he was in the favor of heaven and earth, the next second he was out of control.
However his thoughts remained calm.
The whispers of Heaven and Earth in his ears were still intensifying, telling him the danger of the situation, persuading him to consider the big picture, trying to make fear emerge in him uncontrollably.
“World Honored One coming… then let him come!”
As soon as this thought arose in Lu Yang, the whispers in his ears instantly turned into a roar. But he remained unmoved. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a cold sneer:
“Mess it up, mess it up, just mess it up!”
“Mess it up until the World Honored One comes and turns me into a Buddhist Cultivator, mess it up until the Dao Lords descend personally and destroy the Immortal Spirit body. At worst, I will just gamble my life!”
Was Lu Yang afraid of death?
Of course he was afraid. But in ten lifetimes of cultivation, he knew well that the more afraid of death one was, the more one had to act unafraid of death! In this damn broken place, one cannot survive without madness!
Instantly, all sounds were silenced.
All whispers disappeared. Lu Yang sat quietly, his mind becoming more and more translucent like glazed glass. The consciousness intrusion from Heaven and Earth was both a crisis and the best whetstone, polishing the [Sword Heart] he had just achieved to be even sharper, like an unsheathed cold light blade.
Immediately after, the roaring sound hit like a tide!
However, this time, Lu Yang revealed a smile because he could feel that the drowsiness generated from this was much weaker than before!
Did Heaven and Earth compromise?
Of course that was impossible. It was just that Heaven and Earth had more important things to do, so it was forced to withdraw the power originally falling on him.
That’s enough… That’s enough!
When two tigers fight, one must be injured!
His vitality lay right here!
In the next second, Lu Yang felt vibrations coming from beneath his feet.
“Amitabha!”
A magnificent Buddha chant rang out in the distant world. Guang Ming had arrived! Standing right in front of the Myriad Poison Cult mountain gate, wearing a compassionate smile on his face.
Whoosh!
Almost simultaneously, Lu Yang saw the three Divine Abilities he had painstakingly cultivated—[Master of Armaments], [Unyielding Metal], [Solemn Mystic Frost]—flying out of his body together.
But [Tribulation Wave] didn’t move.
This rare treasure brought by [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] severed karma. Only Lu Yang could activate it. Even Heaven and Earth couldn’t affect it in the slightest.
However, soon, Lu Yang saw a scene that left him dumbfounded.
With a bell toll between heaven and earth, a Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend suddenly gathered before him without reason, finally transforming into a white qi falling lightly.
[You Metal]!
The Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend formed!
Right before his eyes!
This is truly Heaven’s child… If Heaven and Earth really supported me in all aspects, why would I need to waste time looking for any Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends?
Lu Yang looked at the [You Metal] before him, gritting his teeth.
At the same time, he also understood Heaven and Earth’s thoughts. Why plot against him? Because he was uncontrollable! What Heaven and Earth needed was a controllable Immortal Spirit!
Heaven and Earth probably suffered enough from Hong Yun. Having finally supported Hong Yun to the position of Perfected Lord with great difficulty, Hong Yun turned around and sold it, not sharing any benefits. No wonder Heaven and Earth doesn’t trust me… it actually comparing me with Hong Yun. Doesn’t it know I’m a good person?
In the next second, [You Metal] merged with Lu Yang’s main body.
The fourth Innate Divine Ability emerged.
[Resonant Heaven Bell]!
Instantly, no divine ability magnificent color was seen, only a melodious bell toll resounded. The four Innate Divine Abilities gathered together, finally outlining a figure.
Immediately, that figure rushed out of the Myriad Poison Cult’s mountain gate.
Seeing this scene, Guang Ming who originally intended to act and break the Myriad Poison Cult’s array was momentarily stunned. Then he nodded with extreme satisfaction and smiled:
“Benefactor, you and I indeed have a master-disciple affinity.”
