Chapter 280 The Battle of Diablo: Sun God
Lyu Liang was quite surprised at his words!
Seeking death? Was there somebody else who was so eager to die?
“For each of my identity, I will seal all my memories before I die. And I have set the restriction formations earlier, so that each individual generally, will not live for more than 500 hundred years, and then die together, in an accident. Afterwards, I will slowly savor the rights and wrongs they experienced, when they were alive, and feel their sense of loss at the moment of dying.” Seeing the startled expression on Lyu Liang’s face, Li Zidao smiled and said, “But after so long, there are two lives that have surpassed the restriction formations. That’s because there is one person, who would even risk his own life to save his companions.”
“… Is that me?” Lyu Liang rubbed his head, and finally came around.
“The first period is the part when I took on the identities of Li Zidao and Li Yun’er. They were supposed to be killed earlier by the Great Demon beast in the trial field, but you took the risk to fight with multiple enemies and saved us. The second period is the part when I was living, using the identity of Lyu Song. At that time, he was besieged by the kid from the Beishan Family. You could have gone off, but in order to save me and Nangong Qingxuan, you even risked your life to such an extent…” Suddenly, Li Zidao had a complex look on his face, and continued saying, “You know what, the two unexpected lives are also my last periods in the Mortal World. Because every time I wanted to go on playing this kind of game, I would remember your firm and unyielding eyes, as well as some familiar scenes more than 400,000 years ago.”
Lyu Liang nodded and said, “I really can’t just leave or stand by and watch, when my companions are in danger!”
“I thought that the spirit of self-sacrifice has already become extinct in our time. In this age, the law of the jungle is prevalent. People are bullies. But you are different. You should not make yourself suffer in order to carry out this bad practice today, and you also should not die without anyone knowing!” Li Zidao had a keen look in his eyes, and then said with some hidden expectations, “I have a feeling. If you keep following your own heart, some day you will have amazing achievements! Besides, like-minded people will also gradually gather around you! By that time, the world may be a much better place…”
Just as Lyu Liang was about to say something, he felt dizzy all of a sudden. Then he heard Li Zidao, Li Yun’er and Lyu Song saying together, “You have been unavoidably dragged into a fated battle. I hope you can come out of it alive. Now it’s over between us in this world. If you can get to know the Secret of the Desolate Marsh in the future, there may be still a chance for us to meet. Goodbye. Take care!”
…
“Junior Brother! Junior Brother! How are you feeling?” Feng Mazi exclaimed, and this made Lyu Liang wake up in an instant, from his confused state.
At that moment, he found that he was in Tianshu Pavilion, lying on the bed in his room, which was full of restriction formations! Besides Feng Mazi, the other three senior brothers were also there, deep concern etched on their faces.
“Why am I here? What happened after that?” Lyu Liang immediately acted like the barbarian. He turned over and got out of the bed, looking quite confused.
“After that? Well, after that nut case from Ling Feng Cave did a self-detonation, except for a couple of wretches who were too close to him, and were killed instantly, the other people were all saved by a mysterious woman, dressed in crepe. Tut, tut, talking about that woman, all she did was to wave her hand casually! And the whirlpool caused by the self-detonation of the God Ancestor was destroyed right away!” Feng Mazi said in great admiration. “Basically, everyone is all right. Those wretches are the executors of the Dark Reign. You passed out in a corner at that time, and we saw you by chance. We were afraid that some bad people may hurt you, so we brought you back here right away.”
But the first thing Lyu Liang wanted to know was the condition of Zhu Yu and Nie Qingyun. However, these two were obviously not the people that Lyu Liang should care about. So, before Feng Mazi voluntarily talked about them, he would not bring up the topic yet.
Besides, he had been saved by the Yama Zhina before. How was it that he was saved by his senior brothers, according to Feng Mazi? But, he did not intend to ask more, and concluded that it may be due to the powerful skills of the People Outside the Law.
“Then the competition…” Lyu Liang asked honestly.
“It will continue, of course! The battles for the third round have all ended, but the last two rounds have been rescheduled to tomorrow, due to the accident before.” Feng Mazi suddenly clapped his forehead and said, “Oh, right! I almost forgot such an important thing! The leader of the Yue Feng Nest Meeting, that bearded guy who seemed to have a cultivation of Middle-stage Supreme Master only, do you still remember him? He is actually a powerful figure, ranked as a God Ancestor! He is a God Ancestor! A true God Ancestor!”
Then, Feng Mazi just could not stop talking. If it were not the other three dragging him forcibly away from behind, he would have started talking about the setup of the Yue Feng Nest Meeting…
“Junior Brother, have a good rest! Wait until this competition is over, then I will take time to introduce all the secret information of the Nether Big World to you!” With these parting words, he finally disappeared, together with others. Lyu Liang shook his head with a bitter smile. He liked the warmth that existed among his brother disciples.
“Dude, do you feel any changes in your body?” All of a sudden, White’s voice could be heard, and he had a trace of joy in his tone, “You are popular everywhere. And also the opportunities you’ve gotten, you lucky dog!”
Lyu Liang was struck by White’s attitude, and checked him out, surreptitiously. Then he was so surprised that his mouth gaped wide open, as he found that the Devil Immortal Qi inside his body was surrounded by beams of golden light at the moment. There was also a faint golden light shining from inside his Divine Soul.
The most important thing was that both the strength of his Divine Soul and his Divine Body had all improved, to much a higher level!
“The Yama Zhina is a monster. He has the strongest, indestructible body. His greatest strength is to activate some special potential talent that is stored inside the bodies of people. Now that you’ve received a favor from him, you already have the foundation of the Sun God skills. Then, great changes will happen to your Divine Body skills and Cultivation Methods!” White smiled and continued saying, “You should be the only one, who can get to know and practice the Sun God skills in a lower realm!”
“Sun God skills? What is that?” Lyu Liang did not fully understand. The only thing he was clear about, was that he seemed to have received another huge opportunity this time. No matter what, his power was definitely going to get one more great improvement.
White made himself visible at this time, and stared at Lyu Liang, saying, “Have you ever heard of the concept of “Seven Immortal Skills”? It represents the foundation of all the skills that the cultivators have, since the beginning of history. There are five skills called Skills of Five Elements, including Gold Spirit Skill, Wood Spirit Skill, Water Spirit Skill, Fire Spirit Skill and Earth Spirit Skill. They are the foundation of your skills right now. Well, there are also two skills that top the others, which are too powerful for people in a lower realm, and they will never have the ability and chance to practice them. They are the ‘Sun God skills’ and ‘Underworld Shadow skills’!”
Seeing that Lyu Liang was staring at him expectantly, White said with a smile, “Do you still remember the Extermination Skill of Golden Light, exerted by Xuanli Evil Moon? And also the golden Sword Qi activated by the man with a Spirit Collecting Body? They are all secret methods that are mainly formed by the Gold Spirit Skill, and also partly include the Sun God skills! How is the power? You should know better than anybody!”
What was the power like? Of course, Lyu Liang was clear about that. Those two experiences had left a deep impression on him. He could not strike back, and almost died in the end!
“At that time, you did not even have the foundation of the Sun God skills, and could barely withstand it. But, let me tell you, Evil Moon has been suppressed by the realm, and the man with a Spirit Collecting Body is just not capable enough, otherwise, you would never have survived!” But then White said in a different tone, “But now, you may be able to strike back!”
“How should I use this foundation to get more power then?” To get more power was Lyu Liang’s biggest goal, at the moment. After he came to the Nether Big World, he realized that the Heavenly Master was no longer a cultivation that he desired most.
“What you need to do now is to fuse as much of the foundation of Sun God into your Cultivation Method, as possible. That will improve the power of your moves. But, you also have to know in advance, that the fusing efficiency will be very low, unless you can get to the higher realm in the future. Because right now, the fusion itself is going against the Laws of Heaven.” When White was done, he became lazy again and immersed into Lyu Liang’s body.
“I’m in the Core Region of the Dark Reign at present… I need to hurry!” Lyu Liang felt pleased. He had no intention to waste such a good opportunity at all!
“Eh, one more thing, what do I have to do to get the foundation of the Underworld Shadow skills?” Before cultivating, Lyu Liang suddenly asked. He’d already obtained the foundation of six skills out of the Seven Immortal Skills, and there was only one left. He just could not wait.
“You don’t need to worry about that right now! The Sun God skills alone are already a big fortune for you! The foundation of the Underworld Shadow skills needs special conditions. I will tell you when the time is right, in the future!” White said angrily. Lyu Liang laughed at that. Then, without any hesitation, he took out the Linden, and started to cultivate hurriedly.
At this time, White slowly opened his eyes and seemed to glance at the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation casually. He murmured to himself in melancholia, “If possible, I wish you had never learnt the foundation of the Underworld Shadow skills. For your personality, it’s hard to say whether or not you could afford the price it comes at…”
…
In the center of the secret realm in the Nether Big World, a few people of high position gathered together, at the same time. The one standing in the top position was the bearded man from the Yue Feng Nest Meeting. At this moment, he could finally reveal his real identity: Saint God Zangetsu, one of the 10 Saint Gods in the Hell Organization!
“The previous battle should be the last chance for the Divine Imperial Court. According to the person that had first hurried to the nest of the Ling Feng Cave, everyone has left the place. There is no aura left at all!” The Ji Luo Tao Lord reported, respectfully.
Saint God Zangetsu frowned, and then said with a sigh, “If what I think is right, the mining area should be the best place, where they may have their last shot! Besides, that area is the middle-level world, so we won’t have many advantages, even if you guys go there personally! Issue my order now, except for Sura and ghost, the other three are to head to the Northern Mining Area!”
As the order was issued, Tao Ancestor Cold Blood, God Ancestor Wu Ming and God Ancestor Wan Ghosts bowed at the same time, and then left.
“When the two Divine Envoy Milords and I are not here, you are the last barrier to guard the true core meaning of the Thoreau Secret Realm! Ghost, arouse the puppets of the two Divine Envoy Milords, to their peak form, and try to make the people in the world believe that they are the genuine Divine Ancestors!” As soon as Saint God Zangetsu was done, Tao Ancestor ghost also accepted the order and left. Then, Ji Luo Tao Lord was the only one left, standing there respectfully.
Walking to the front of Ji Luo Tao Lord, Saint God Zangetsu said lightly, “The Dark Reign is not an invincible organization anymore. The Men of Sacrifice of the Divine Imperial Court could actually get onto the main platform, to watch the games without anybody noticing them. Only those people at your level could do that. But, you are the one I trust most. After I leave, don’t trust anyone else! The Goddess Phantom and Depression God Dead Fire do have absolute power, but they are not the people that we can control. Therefore, when necessary, you should activate the Red Lotus God Domain.”
Ji Luo Tao Lord froze subconsciously. Then he clenched his fists and said expectantly, “Don’t worry, milord! I understand! I will let those old guys from above know that the resolute Men of Sacrifice do not only exist in their Divine Imperial Court!”
