Chapter 113 Gaining World Renown
After another period of time for burning a stick of incense, Lyu Liang’s aura of cultivation level decreased from the peak of Xuan Immortal to the peak of Fairy Immortal. This change made the Kunlun sectarians, including Jingxu Ancestor, breathe a sigh of relief.
“Ancestor, our ten new almighty immortals have not been affected by the Immortal Extermination Pill, can we now…” A bare-headed old Taoist, who had just arrived, approached Jingxu Ancestor and asked in a whisper.
Frankly, Jingxu Ancestor would have liked to kill Lyu Liang immediately. Because no matter whether it was daybreak or not, the face of Kunlun Sect had suffered enough loss already. The longer Lyu Liang survived, the more the Kunlun Sect would became a severe laughing stock.
But who knew if there was anything evil left in the kid’s hands? The loss of the battle just now had definitely hurt the morale of the sect. If he had any more strange tricks up his sleeve, he would have destroyed the foundation of Kunlun Sect that had been laid in tens of millions of years.
Lyu Liang, currently in the formation, didn’t think so much. Although his cultivation level had been reduced to a lower level and restored its clarity, his eyes were still sharp, and his expression was indescribably relaxed and comfortable. With a scornful expression, his eyes swept over the almighty immortals who were gnashing their teeth and were eagerly waiting to try.
After the time it took to burn three sticks of incense, Lyu Liang’s aura of cultivation had fallen back to the peak of Void Return stage. At this time, the black light curtain that had been shrouding him, disappeared in an instant. Several terrifying pressures with the aura of Almighty Immortal descended directly on him, but no one dared to go forward to fight.
With Lyu Liang’s thick soul, resisting the pressures of Almighty Immortal was at best laborious, but he would never yield. So he simply smiled and scoffed at them, “The disciples of the first sect in Western Heaven District, when you meet a junior at the peak of Void Return stage like me, you only dare to stay so far away. Are you waiting for someone else to laugh their heads off?”
The people of Kunlun Sect frothed at the mouth. However, they had to be absolutely wily and desperate people if they could cultivate to the Almighty Immortal level. It was fine to make a plan, but if they were asked to be the first to start fighting, they would rather retreat quickly.
Before, they only regarded Lyu Liang as a genius or a monster. Especially his situation of losing all treasures, as the core disciples at Fairy Immortal level, was not a secret. As a result, many people volunteered to kill Lyu Liang, but they were killed, almost completely. Those who came back were also affected by Immortal Extermination Pill and had to be well cultivated for a period of time.
Those fairy immortals who did not win the first round of eliminating Lyu Liang had been beating their breasts and stamping their feet, lamenting that they had missed a good opportunity to make a contribution. But then, Lyu Liang’s stunning performance made them have the feeling that they survived a tribulation.
Now, Lyu Liang’s cultivation level had fallen to the initial stage, the peak of Void Return, but looking at his eyes that scorned everything, these immortals still felt a little weak in their hearts. What if he still had Immortal Extermination Pills?
But it was obviously impossible to go on like this. Since there was danger in close up battles, let’s try a long-range attack.
Lyu Liang moved when a almighty immortal tentatively sent out several destructive sword Qi. He rushed towards the nearest Kunlun sectarians, and at the same time, a destructive aura came out of him.
“He’s going to explode! Quick…” Before the cry of Jingxu Ancestor was over, Lyu Liang had begun the last brilliant blooming of his life.
There was no time for any nonsense. When he saw someone starting a long-range attack, he knew that there was only one way to go! The tentative attack of a almighty immortal could be avoided or resisted by himself, but it would also reveal his true situation. If a few more almighty immortals went all out to release these long-range attacks, he would soon be blown to pieces.
Lyu Liang’s choice was wise, and it was gut wrenching for the Kunlun Sect. In all sects, the strongest defensive formations, were generally used in the sect boundaries. This was because the enemy generally came from the outside.
The most terrible were the enemies who had infiltrated the core areas of the sect. Their cultivation levels might not be high, but the damage they caused was often alarming. The reason was very simple: the inside of the sect was the place for disciples to cultivate or rest, there were only some simple protections in place, no one would make some expensive and inconvenient defensive formations in the sect.
Everyone had not yet recovered from Lyu Liang’s extraordinary performance, and were still wondering if he had any further moves. Lyu Liang had resolutely started this most primitive and most powerful last fight.
The nearest almighty immortal, who had not yet responded to his surprise, was obliterated by the air mass produced by Lyu Liang’s self-explosion. In the same way, two Xuan immortals behind him disappeared.
After that, there was no need for Jingxu Ancestor to shout again. All the Kunlun sectarians released their protective magic treasures and quickly retreated.
The power of self-explosion was closely related to the level and soul strength of cultivators. According to Lyu Liang’s situation, his self-explosion was equivalent to the level of Fairy Immortal.
The self-detonation of a cultivator at the Void Return stage could trigger a space turbulence. Lyu Liang’s explosion produced several spatial rifts, apart from killing a few Kunlun sectarians close by, Nearly one fifth of the ground buildings of the Kunlun Sect were reduced into flying ash. This was also because the two elders of Kunlun Sect acted in time to control part of the power of his self-explosion.
In about the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the smoke gradually dissipated, and the world-shaking battle in the Kunlun Sect ended finally. It was still some time before dawn came, but it did not matter anymore.
Cultivators had no conception of day and night. They were just used to keeping silent at night. Now, as people in the whole Western Heaven District found out, there was a man who broke into the Kunlun Sect tonight, and a big battle occurred!
After this battle, the Kunlun Sect summed up the gains and losses, and the data obtained were as such. In this battle, nine almighty immortals, thirteen Xuan immortals and eleven fairy immortals were killed. The number of disciples below Fairy Immortal level who were affected by the battle and Lyu Liang’s last self-explosion was 621.
The above data were all on disciples killed in battle. If the injuries were taken into account, the total number would be more than one thousand. This was extremely rare in the development history of the Kunlun Sect.
The two elders of Kunlun sect came out and advised the people in the sect not to leak out anything. But since dawn, the situation where Lyu Liang had stirred the Kunlun Sect upside down had first spread from the Western Heaven branch of the Worry-Free Mansion. And it was very detailed information, just like getting a live broadcast. Every detail was accurate, and even the scene of the battle was shown. The two elders of Kunlun Sect were so angry that they ordered them to make a thorough inquiry as to whether there were spies in the sect.
The news grew wings. Before noon, not only did the whole Western Heaven District know about it, but it also spread to the Mortal Realm and other realms. Although the Kunlun Sect was not reluctant, it could only swallow the bitter fruit depressingly. Meanwhile, they had to take time to recover. Otherwise, the next time the sect ranking contest in Western Heaven District was held, the question would be whether it could continue to be number one.
After this battle, Lyu Liang was thoroughly famous in the Pangu Origin world. Everyone knew that a young man at the peak of Void Return stage, using his own efforts, had shaken the foundation of Kunlun Sect laid thousands of years ago. Especially the last straightforward act of self-explosion was remembered in many people’s hearts.
…………………………
In the main hall of the Nangong family in Southern Heaven District, with Nangong Tianxiong as the head, core figures of the Nangong family gathered together. In the middle of the hall, in a huge ink painting scroll, Lyu Liang’s massacre of the people, very much like killing chickens and slaughtering pigs, was slowly showing up in front of everyone.
“Daddy, Kunlun sent these bastards! I, Nangong Qingxuan swear that when I become an almighty immortal, I would surely make them pay for his blood with their blood!”
“Qingxuan, don’t be impulsive. I have a much deeper understanding of my master and his junior martial brother than you. Do you really think his life is over? No, look at it. It won’t be long before the Kunlun Sect will pay for what it has done today!”
“Father, what about the emissary of Divine Bow Sect in Northern Heaven District…”
“Murong Wuji, this old boy really is a good news source. He actually received the news earlier than I did here! His suggestion is very agreeable to me, so let’s agree to it. Qingyun, you go and tell the emissary, our Nangong family has agreed to it!”
…………………………
In the territory of Suzaku in the Demon Realm, Zhu Yan and fatty Hundun also watched the battle of Lyu Liang in a giant crystal ball.
“Brother Bird, I’m sorry. I really failed miserably in a very easy task. If I had known that the two old guys in Kunlun Sect had joined forces, I would have acted earlier.”
“It doesn’t matter, just let us see a good play! I have said that this brother is not an ordinary man. What does it matter, being at the peak of Void Return stage? He can still kill those ox-noses (a disparaging name of Taoists) like killing a flock of sheep!”
“Hey hey, so you don’t blame me? So…”
“Hey, one thing is one thing, in a word, you were still not able to rescue him. You can be assured that I will never slack off in the cultivation of hellfire. But you have to go and get the spiritual armor I promised you from the iron cock Taotie! Time doesn’t matter. My brother will not need it before he becomes a Xuan immortal.”
…………………………
In the Mass Funeral Hall in Central Heaven District, two grey-clad elderly people, together with four people behind them, also stared at the chaotic situation in Kunlun Sect on a thin screen.
“Shui Ye made decisions without any authorization, so that the master’s plan was ruined, your master please punish me!”
“Master, senior martial brother he…”
“Hehe, Wuming, don’t worry. I know you two have a good relationship with each other, and I will not punish him. Yes, Shui Ye was against my original intention, but it just gave me a deeper understanding of this little fellow, so I regard it as his merits counterbalancing his demerits!!”
“Big brother, but this little fellow is dead now. Why do you seem to be so indifferent?”
“Second brother, you are still not using your brains! This little fellow is dead, and that was just now, okay? Did you see his eyes? Does this look like a sight from a dying man? Although I don’t know what backhand he has, I’m sure we will continue to see him in the near future. Maybe then, he’ll be a more terrible existence than four Dead Heavens.
…
Inside the Holy-Fist Palace in Central Heaven District, two old men looked at the same picture and were discussing something.
“Junior martial brother, this time you were reckless. Unexpectedly, the Taoist couple of Phoenix Cloth Fairy is so talented! Although he has died, I feel that this is not necessarily the end of the matter!”
“Senior martial brother, don’t worry. I admit it’s my carelessness this time. Fortunately, the Phoenix Cloth Fairy landed in my hands and my initial goal is achieved. Although an accident occurred, it’s just a matter of waiting for another ten thousand years.”
“Alas, let it be, you’ve been obsessed with it for so long. I did not stop you, and I don’t know if it’s right or wrong.”
“Brother, we used all our efforts to get here from the Heaven realm and worked hard for tens of thousands of years before we could have this foundation. Now, two of the three spiritual bodies have been found, and the only ‘heavenly Qiankun body’ is now in hand. The only thing for me is to wait for the ice to be dissolved, then the three bodies will be united. We’re not far from seeking the revenge for our sect. Did I make a mistake in doing all these?”
“No, stop talking about it, I will undergo seclusion cultivation now. You should worry more about Holy-Fist Palace. I just want to remind you not to think that everything is under your control. I can’t see through Divine Calculation Esteemed all the time. You must be careful!”
