Chapter 351 - Snake Fist Luo (1/2)

Lu Tianzi could do nothing to stop the pitch-black darkness from rapidly devouring the colours of the world around him.

Right now, he was feeling rather regretful for having pushed himself too hard.

Not only was it embarrassing to have lost consciousness in the midst of cultivation, but Nanlan Qianxue would surely be worried about him as well.

However, even though Lu Tianzi was already prepared to lose his consciousness, it never happened.

Lu Tianzi was surprised to see that the darkness only lasted for a moment before fading away once more.

Colours quickly returned to his surroundings, and Lu Tianzi found himself back in the grass field below the War Intent Cliff.

But Lu Tianzi immediately realised that something was wrong.

The bright sun from before was now hidden behind gloomy clouds as heavy rain poured down from the sky.

More importantly, there was no longer anyone around him.

Be it Nanlan Qianxue, Young Master Xuan Hao, Ruan Ling, or the various other martial artists, all of them had vanished without a trace.

For a moment, Lu Tianzi even suspected that he had actually fallen unconscious for a long time and was thus abandoned here. But there was a striking difference in the scenery that caused him to instantly cast away that thought.

The previously barren cliff wall was now lush with vegetation, just like the other parts of the mountain.

Not just that, but there was no longer an indentation on the War Intent Cliff!

And in the absence of the indentation, the immense pressure from before was naturally missing as well.

Just what was going on here?

He moved to stand up, only to realise that he could not move a muscle.

No, that was slightly incorrect.

It was more like he had no muscle to move.

At this moment, Lu Tianzi finally understood what was happening.

It was likely that after pushing himself to the limit earlier, he had unintentionally established a mental connection with the something that was in the indentation on the cliff wall, or perhaps he had even established a mental connection with the cliff wall itself.

After all, there would surely be a trace of the Law of Origin in his perception if he was giving it his all, resulting in the situation that he was currently in.

This meant that what he was seeing right now was actually the War Intent Cliff of the past!

But without the indentation on the cliff wall, could the War Intent Cliff still be called the War Intent Cliff?

Bang-!

A huge explosion on the cliff wall instantly broke his train of thoughts.

It was like a volcano eruption.

A terrifying burst of energy escaped the confines of the earth and shot into the skies, dragging along with it the earth and rocks that once acted as its prison.

The lush vegetation that had held everything together was incinerated in an instant. Even the previously sturdy earth and rocks were decimated by the absolute strength behind this burst of energy, reduced to mere particles of dust that blocked out the skies.

The burst of energy continued unhindered, firing straight into the sky and disappearing behind the clouds.

Even after it was gone, a heavy pressure continued to linger in the air, just like the cloud of dust that seemed to be completely unaffected by the heavy downpour.

Lu Tianzi watched on in shock.

If it was him, getting caught in such a terrifying attack would mean instant death!

At the same time, he could clearly feel that the pressure in the air was similar to the one that he had felt from the War Intent Cliff, only much stronger.

Without a doubt, he was currently watching how the indentation on the cliff wall had been formed!

If the pressure in the surroundings had been this strong before, his perception would never have been able to reach the indentation on the War Intent Cliff.

Thankfully, it seemed that the pressure had gradually receded to a tolerable level with the passing of time.

But then again, what in the world happened to have caused such a huge explosion?

It was then that Lu Tianzi suddenly noticed something.

The earlier burst of energy had been far too terrifying, inevitably drawing all of Lu Tianzi's attention. But it was actually not the only thing that had escaped from within the cliff wall.

Obscured within the thick cloud of dust, a middle-aged man now floated in mid-air with his eyes closed, as though he was relishing the embrace of the sheer devastation around him.

A human!

Lu Tianzi realised in excitement.

This middle-aged man was dressed in a set of neat combat robes, with a huge sabre hung behind his back. He might not be making any moves right now, but Lu Tianzi could still see through his Overlord realm cultivation level.

Lu Tianzi might not have truly fought an Overlord realm powerhouse before, but he had witnessed them showing off their strengths on a few occasions, so he believed that he had a rough gauge of their strength level.

If this Overlord realm martial artist really was the one responsible for the immense pressure in the surroundings, then either Lu Tianzi had grossly underestimated the strength of Overlord realm martial artists, or this middle-aged man's strength must have been far beyond his peers!

But just as Lu Tianzi was carefully observing this middle-aged man, a deep and aged voice came from the direction of the cliff wall where the explosion had originated from.

”Take your time and feel it for youself. If you cannot even learn to do this much, then don't bother going. After all, this is the bare minimum you need in order to contend with the enemies you seek.”

There's someone else!

Lu Tianzi immediately turned towards the cliff wall, but his vision was completely blocked by a thick cloud of dust. With the pressure in the surroundings, his perception could not even stretch five metres out, not to mention inspecting the cliff wall that was even further away.

But there was no doubt in Lu Tianzi's mind now.

This explosion was not created by the Overlord realm martial artist.

Instead, it was done by someone even stronger, possibly in a bid to instruct the Overlord realm martial artist.

To be able to instruct an Overlord realm powerhouse, the strength of the latter must have already reached an extremely terrifying level!

Just as Lu Tianzi was lost in thought, the scene before Lu Tianzi suddenly vanished.

The heavy downpour, the cloud of dust, the middle-aged man, all of them were gone, replaced by a sunny weather and a familiar sight.

Numerous martial artists were present on the grass field, with Nanlan Qianxue, Young Master Xuan Hao, and Ruan Ling nearest to him.

At this moment, Nanlan Qianxue was looking at him anxiously.

”Are you all right?” Nanlan Qianxue asked.

”Hmm?” Lu Tianzi realised that he was now lying on the grass field. ”Did I lose consciousness?”
