Chapter 160: Nothing is Impossible (1/2)

The Skybearer Gates!

Lu Qishan had brought the door to Dusk Province with the goal of capturing Diexi, but ended up dying to the concerted attack from the Black Tortoise image that was formed by the juba and blackwater snake.

The black dragonguard that’d collected them at the end had also snagged the Skybearer Gates and delivered it to Qing Han. Since it belonged to the Lu Clan, the imperial envoy gave the dao-grade treasure to Lu Yun.

The gates cast a jade sheen over all of Dusk City, replacing even the blazing sun in the sky, and instantly blocked the golden bell’s attack.

Within the Gates of the Abyss, Beigong Yu and Lü Biao channeled all of their energy into Lu Yun, supplying him with enough power to activate the gates, a treasure that could counter all things yin in the world.

The two dao-grade treasures came to a standstill after clashing against each other, neither able to gain the upper hand. The Qing dao immortal could only exert the power of an august immortal, while Lü Biao and Beigong Yu could call upon their full power as peerless immortals. Moreover, Beigong Yu’s cultivation was only a hair’s breadth away from the dao immortal realm. They were the ones giving Lu Yun the ability to channel the true power of their side’s treasure.

“How is this possible?! It’s completely impossible!” Dao immortal Qing Quan looked on incredulously. “Why is Skybearer in your hand? Didn’t that old monster from the Lu Clan refine it? How are you able to use it?”

Most dao-grade treasures in the world were already refined and branded by dao immortals, making it impossible for other immortals to use the treasures without their permission.

To control the gates, Lu Yun would need the permission of a Lu dao immortal. However, the governor had fallen out with his clan after humiliating the faction and killing the genius Lu Yuanhou. Thus, Qing Quan couldn’t wrap his head around the unbelievable sight in front of him.

That’s because the brand on the treasure has been removed, Lu Yun thought calmly.

After Empress Myrtlestar came to, she’d removed the ownership brand on the treasure with the Scroll of Shepherding Immortals, turning it into an unclaimed treasure. Even if the Lu clan’s dao immortal came himself, he wouldn’t have a hope of taking the treasure back.

That was precisely the reason why the Lu Clan didn’t dare come after Lu Yun again. They didn’t even have the courage to demand the clan’s ultimate treasure back. Only the top heavyweights of the world would be able to remove the brand. They’d just recovered from a calamity and didn’t dare provoke such a powerful being at the moment.

Lu Yun was having a very rough time. The power of two peerless immortals was flowing into his body through the realms of yin and yang, which he was in turn sending into Skybearer. If he didn’t have a daily regime of refining his constitution with connate elemental power, he would’ve broken under the pressure. Even so, strands of bloody mist furled out of his pores and stained his clothes, collecting into droplets of blood and dripping onto the ground.

“You’ve reached your limit, haven’t you?” Qing Quan regained his calm and manifested clothes with his inner energy. “Then shatter!”

He swallowed a pill that increased his power by thirty percent, increasing the golden bell’s size by a similar amount and firmly suppressing Skybearer, even threatening to take it away.

Wham!!

An incredible explosion of sound rang out as a snow-white path emerged beneath Lu Yun’s feet. It expanded forward and slammed right into Skybearer and the golden bell, eliciting dramatic trembles from both dao-grade treasures.

Pah!

Qing Quan threw up a mouthful of blood and his clothes disintegrated yet again. The collision caught the immortals behind him, flinging them backward.

“The Path of Ingress!!” screamed the dao immortal, his expression colored by fear. That was the most important treasure of the Nephrite Court! Neither him, nor any of the onlookers had expected Lu Yun to bring it out. Was the celestial emperor truly the governor’s patron?

Qing Quan was starting to regret his actions now. He’d reached an agreement with Zhao Changkong that the crown prince would help the Qing Clan gain the heritage of the ancient lord, as long as Qing Quan killed Lu Yun and gained the Formation Orb for the prince.

This was why he’d shown up and openly threatened Lu Yun with a frankly laughable excuse. Zhao Changkong would soon assume the celestial throne. His every word and action represented the Nephrite Court, so Qing Quan had no reason to turn him down. However, Lu Yun had the Path of Ingress!
