Chapter 345 – Die! (1/2)

Luo Xue wore a violet robe and had his right hand behind his back as he looked at Yuan Tong with an indifferent gaze.

“It’s you!” Yuan Tong spoke in a low voice. He’d always been slightly fearful towards Luo Xue because Luo Xue’s strength was very mysterious. Even though he’d merely fought Luo Xue once, he felt that Luo Xue was extremely dangerous. That sort of feeling far exceeded the feeling of danger that he got from Yang Ye!

“Actually, I’m extremely disappointed!” Luo Xue shook his head and spoke indifferently. “I originally thought that the most monstrous genius from the southern territory in the last 1,000 years would be able to give me a little pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, not only were you unable to obtain the inheritance of Martial G.o.d Mountain, you even lost that spirit of supremacy you once possessed!”

“Do you know?” Yuan Tong chuckled lightly and said, “In the past, I thought I was the most monstrous genius amongst the younger generation of the southern territory. But when I came to the Ancient Battlefield, I finally noticed how laughable my past thoughts were!”

“Is that so?” Luo Xue spoke indifferently. “So it wasn’t Yang Ye who made you lose that confidence of being invincible, and it was the monstrous geniuses in the Ancient Battlefield instead!”

“I’ve never lost my confidence!” Yuan Tong said, “What I wanted to say was that the Ancient Battlefield allowed me to clearly recognize my flaws. I’m not conceited or complacent anymore, and I’ve stopped blindly believing that I’m the best. In this place, I found out how I should change and how I should make myself stronger and stronger. In short, I’ve understood myself once more in the Ancient Battlefield.”

Luo Xue fell silent. He understood what Yuan Tong meant. Yuan Tong was telling him that he hadn’t been dispirited, and he’d understood himself once more through this string of difficulties. Weakness and difficulty weren’t anything to fear, what should be feared was the inability to recognize and understand one’s heart, and then develop one’s flaws like one would develop one’s advantages!

Perhaps all of this seems slightly complicated. To put it in simpler terms, Yuan Tong had undergone a transformation in the Ancient Battlefield, and it was a transformation of his mental state. Even though his strength was far behind those monstrous geniuses, with the natural talent and natural endowment he possessed, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to catch up to them if he was given the time!

After a short while, Luo Xue shook his head and said, “Unfortunately, you still have to die!”

Yuan Tong smiled and said, “Firstly, I really admire your confidence. Secondly, I’m very curious, why have you come to kill me? There seems to be no enmity between us, right? Of course, I’m not asking this to display weakness and beg for mercy, I’m just curious. So, you can choose not to answer me!”

“You’re about to die, so what’s the point of knowing that?” Luo Xue shook his head, and then he pointed his right hand upward. In an instant, the heavens and the earth dimmed down, and then a bolt of violet lightning tore through the clouds and circled in the sky like a violet colored flood dragon!

Yuan Tong’s expression changed violently when he witnessed this scene, and his eyes were filled with shock as he said, “A Natural Treasure! Who exactly are you? Why do you possess such a Natural Treasure!?”

Luo Xue didn’t answer Yuan Tong. He merely opened his mouth slightly and spat out a single word. “Descend!”

In an instant, that bolt of violet lightning instantly descended swiftly towards Yuan Tong!

Yuan Tong would naturally not sit there and wait for death to arrive. He spread open his right hand while the profound energy within his body surged madly into his palm, and then he shouted as he swiftly slapped his palm upward. “Heavensplit Palm!”

An enormous energy palm flashed forward, and it collided with the violet bolt of lightning!

Bang!

An enormous bang resounded. Under Yuan Tong’s astounded gaze, the enormous energy palm was instantly blasted into dispersal, and then the violet ray of lightning descended straight down towards him….

Bang!

Another enormous bang resounded….

After a short while, a bottomless hole had appeared where Yuan Tong stood just now, and as for Yuan Tong himself, he’d vanished completely….

He hadn’t fled, he’d been completely obliterated! Yes, Yuan Tong had perished beneath the bolt of violet lightning, and he’d ceased to exist in this world!

“Come!” Luo Xue shouted lightly, and then a bolt of violet lightning flashed out from underground like a tiny snake, and then it entered into his body.

Luo Xue flipped his palm, and then a thick black colored scroll appeared in his hand, and there were three large words written on it — Book of Judgment.

He opened the scroll, and then his index finger moved slightly before a pitch black brush appeared in his grasp. He held it in his hand as his gaze descended towards the first row of words on the first page of the scroll, and two words were written there — Yuan Tong.

He lightly flicked the brush, and then a wave of violent fluctuations of energy instantly arose in the surroundings. Strands of black colored energy gradually appeared in the surroundings, and they were fine like threads and emanated a horrifying aura.

Excitement appeared in Luo Xue’s eyes upon seeing these threads of black energy, and then he opened his mouth and sucked. In an instant, all the black energy entered his mouth. After he swallowed these threads of black energy, Luo Xue’s eyes closed slightly while the profound energy within his body circulated swiftly, and he started to slowly absorb the black energy….

After a short while, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with boundless pitch black darkness, and they gradually returned to normal over a few breaths of time!

Luo Xue took a deep breath, and then he glanced at the scroll in his hand before a wisp of a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. He said, “Even though he wasn’t the Martial G.o.d, the Death Energy within his body was so pure. Besides Yang Ye, Yuan Tong is the most formidable amongst the countless geniuses of the southern territory!”
