Chapter 351 Inheritor of Divine Prohibition
“Boy… You’ve really made up your mind? Even I could not control my soul power! If that guy had not exhausted your strength and if you had not hit yourself… we would not be chatting here!” Mushroom’s raucous voice sounded rather serious.
At this moment, several people were gathered inside the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation. Except for Lyu Liang, who remained calm, all the people looked very serious.
“Husband… Don’t attempt such a dangerous feat again! I can now help you to break through the fourth level of the Ominous Darkness Soul Kill Array. After a period, the fifth level will also…” Holding Lyu Liang’s arm, Linglong had tears swirling in her eyes.
“Linglong, I know you’ve done a lot for me. I really, really appreciate that. But you know, my enemies now won’t be that easily annihilated by a fourth level.” Lyu Liang paused, embraced Linglong gently, and then continued, “Besides, you’re my Taoist companion. How can I let you be the one to defend me?”
“Husband…” With tears rolling down her face, Linglong leaned on Lyu Liang’s shoulder, although she could not touch him.
“Seniors, I know the principle of the Prohibition Method. Now I need to figure out the best way to use it! It’s an ace card. Using it for a short time is enough to turn the tides of war! I won’t give up if there is at least a bit of hope!” Then, Lyu Liang turned to his right and said softly, “Senior Xuanyuan, could you tell me about the power of the Weapon Incantation? Perhaps that could help me.”
“You’re so stubborn! Well, now that you’ve come so far, let me tell you the rest!” Xuanyuan shook his head resignedly and then said seriously, “As you know, this scroll is called Weapon Incantation, but actually, its real title is Spirit Sacrifice, the most important scroll for the Demon Origin Mountain! One who masters it can perform the Field Domain of Prohibition. As for your Divine Soul… you’ve been blessed by a strange guy.”
As Xuanyuan said that, he glanced at White, while the latter yawned lethargically.
“Boy, have you decided? If you do that, the result might be worse than using the Divine Mark.” White said slowly.
“Will I die?”
“Of course not.”
“Will my Divine Soul break?”
“No.”
“Then please be frank with me!” Lyu Liang exclaimed, after asking the two key questions.
“I knew that our talk will end like this… Now that we don’t plan to give up on this guy, just tell him the solution. As for whether he can do that, it depends on him.” White exchanged looks with Mushroom, Xuanyuan, and then Jian and Ming, the only two divine beasts who participated in this discussion, “Eighth brother, ninth brother, this guy is unshakeable in his decision. Whether he can succeed or not, your help is very important.”
“Such a fool… I will try my best.” Jian expressed his resolution briefly.
“Now I see—this guy is prepared to go all out, even if things turn out at a loss… Fine, let it be! Give Mushroom and me several hours. After all, even one false step will be very dangerous!” Ming nodded and flashed to Mushroom’s side. Then, he crooked a finger, as he said, “Actually, it’s been one of my wishes to do this. I just did not expect that I would be cooperating with a supreme horror beast like you in my life! Fine! I have not lived in vain!”
Nodding, Mushroom then disappeared with Ming to study something in another space.
“Then what should I do now?” Lyu Liang was, of course, not an idle man, “I have about 90 minutes before the wushu test!”
“More than that. Since your opponent disappeared, the Heavenly Alliance has just postponed the match until two days later. At that time, if he does not show up, you will be declared the winner.” Wen Xiaojing said, which made Lyu Liang radiant with joy.
“Well, then you have time to learn something.” Xuanyuan smiled and said, “They are discussing how to control the soul. As for us, let’s try to improve the power!”
…
The young man’s disappearance greatly stunned the Heavenly Alliance, because no one had even done this before, since the first session.
When they launched an investigation, they found something weird about this man’s identity.
In theory, all the participants were alien ministers, but there was no record of this man either in the Chaotic Heavenly Alliance or in the Pan Gu Heavenly Alliance!
The only explanation was that he was from another branch of the Heavenly Alliance! After learning that, Night Dragon God Ancestor wrote a letter to the headquarters to inquire and was expecting a reply within one hour. However, even after two days, there was no reply.
“One more day! If this guy still does not show up, Lyu Liang will then be the winner! Then, ask him the question I’ve told you. As long as his answer is sensible, let him pass directly.” A voice sounded from a talisman, which was held by Tianhuang and Qi Ling. At this moment, both of them were frowning deeply.
When the Voice-messaging Talisman gradually dissipated in the air, Monk Tianhuang finally said, “What is our boss thinking about? All these high-level alien ministers, being our boss’s relatives, their positions were cut and dried. But Lyu Liang, if I’m not mistaken, seems to have something to do with Zhu Yu…”
“As I know, he was once used by Zhu Yu! So they should be against each other. However, it is said that they fought together on the battlefield of the Mortal World…” Qi Ling was also confused, “How could boss miss this information, which even I have heard about?”
“Forget it, Qi Ling! Don’t try to speculate anymore!” Monk Tianhuang shook his head and said in a low voice, “Now that boss wants us to let him pass, we just need to follow his instruction! Don’t do any other additional things! You know, it’s not wise to over stretch ourselves!”
…
After a day, it was time for the finals again. However, the young man still did not show up.
Monk Tianhuang had planned to announce that Lyu Liang was the winner, once he arrived at the stage. However, what was interesting was that no one appeared at the arena…
When an envoy of the Heavenly Alliance arrived at Lyu Liang’s cave residence, Wen Xiaojing said indifferently, “He has something to do and is supposed to come back within these two days. Since you were able to wait for that young man for three days, why can’t you allow Lyu Liang the same time?”
When Monk Tianhuang heard that, he was annoyed by such sophistry. However, owing to Wen Xiaojing’s identity and Night Dragon’s instruction, he could only agree to this unprecedented request for Lyu Liang…
When it came to the fifth night, as all the cultivators were closing their eyes for a rest, layers of colorful clouds sprang up above the entire branch of the Heavenly Alliance. Then, lightning and thunder gutted the ground! The suppression at the God Ancestor level directly alarmed the seniors, who thought that some callow person had invaded their area!
But just then, as a massive, golden defense cover appeared and the sea of lightning lifted all of a sudden! Of course, by this time, the cultivators within the range of 300 meters had already fled more than 3,000 meters away.
During the next three hours, lightning and thunder swept through the area. The already stifling air was mixed with weird gases, which pervaded the entire defense cover. But strangely, even a Tao Ancestor would not be able to approach the area. Otherwise, he would be crushed by the daunting oppressive atmosphere!
Eventually, there came the first glimmer of dawn. As a roar resounded through the sky, the golden cover and the lightning disappeared at once. Inside the thick Death Qi, there seemed to be several golden light spots.
Only then did some powerful figures recognize the source of the golden light—Lyu Liang emerged, stooping and with his arms dangling at his sides, and weirdly enough, his eyes and mouth were glowing with a golden light!
However, within two breaths of time, the Death Qi suddenly dissipated. Lyu Liang’s figure was revealed, as energetic as usual. But to everyone’s shock, his cultivation had reached the Early-stage of God Ancestor…
…
At the same time, in the Pan Gu Cave, the three-eyed man was staring at a massive stone plate. On it was the scene when Lyu Liang flew onto the Skyhigh Platform, shouting, “I’m here to participate in the finals!”
“Yes… yes… I didn’t expect that the inheritor of Divine Prohibition would reappear in public after over 400,000 years!” The three-eyed man murmured, his eyes glowing with excitement!
“Milord, I can catch him for you!”
“No! Let me do that! Milord, please let me go to the Mortal World!”
“Don’t grab my opportunity! The last time I went out was over 300,000 years ago! And you have already been there during this period!”
…
At this moment, behind the three-eyed man, six armored people were arguing fiercely about who should be the one to go down. They had different figures and appearances, yet with the same weird three eyes.
“Shut up!” The three-eyed man roared, his eyes still fixed on the stone plate, which had already dimmed, “I don’t want any of you… to go down. Ji Ming, go and see whether any of the Four Saints are awake. If not, wake Jue Luo up!”
“Ah? Why, why they? Milord, it’s a waste to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut! Anyone of us…” A red-bearded man stepped out and growled resignedly, with his hands cupped.
“You? Ji Ming, do you believe my judgment?” The three-eyed man said over his shoulder, with a serious look on his face.
“Ah? Of course!” The red-bearded man was stunned, and then, he knelt on one knee to make a bow.
“Then let me come straight to the point! If I send any of you to catch Lyu Liang in that middle-level world, you will only die there!” The three-eyed man’s words startled all the six people, “Even if it’s one of the Four Saints, I’ll tell him that he might bring back a dead body to me!”
“Milord thinks so highly of such a guy from the Mortal World… Unbelievable!” Apart from the red-bearded man, all the other people behind him were lost in their thoughts.
“Ho ho, you know who I am! I’ll do my best once I decide to do something!” With a light smile, the three-eyed man turned around and glanced at all the people, as he said, “Do you know? Just now, the old fox Candle Dragon has roused 10 high-level Bodies of Ancestor. And of course, his aim is the same as mine! So now, you know why I have decided to send the Four Saints down?”
“What?” All the people were totally astonished. They knew that 10 high-level Bodies of Ancestor represented almost a quarter of the forces of the Buzhou Mountain!
“Lyu Liang… not only has a deep relationship with Mo Jiao but he also inherited the Divine Prohibition! Besides, did you notice? It seems that, apart from his eyes, his mouth also glows with the light of Divine Prohibition!” The three-eyed man’s third eye suddenly blazed with red light, and then, he said firmly in a deep voice, “Even the genius of the Demon Origin Mountain could only master 30 percent of the Divine Prohibition! So, pass my order! No matter how that old guy of the Buzhou Mountain has planned for it, it is time for the Pan Gu Cave to reappear in the public after over 300,000 years!”
