Chapter 392: A Ghastly Scream (1/2)
The five origin dao immortals didn’t have to enter Dusk, or even use their own power to attack the province. They could manipulate the power of the land to exert a crushing pressure and send a giant, invisible hand slamming into the province from the sky.
Thick, stifling shadows loomed over everyone. Formation upon formation lit up above Dusk City to counter the great power, but this was the power of origin dao immortals.
……
Within the manor, Lu Yun looked up at the invisible hand with a steely expression.
“You should’ve stayed in your huts and licked your wounds, origin dao immortals. Dusk Province is no place for the likes of you to show your face!” He waved a hand and manifested the Black Emperor.
A beam of white light shot out and blasted back at the great power coming from the sky.
Bam!
The beam pierced through the air and scattered the power of the land.
……
“Is that the weapon of war that Lu Yun’s refined?” Seeing his power scattered put a frown on one of the origin dao immortal’s faces.
“How can such a great treasure be left in the hands of a mere cultivator?” the old crone sneered, revealing what few teeth she had left. “We’ll take it!”
She flung open her arms and brought down a tremendous vortex of qi over the entire province. It rotated slowly at first, then with increasing violence, and summoned a terrible storm throughout the land.
“What are you waiting for, North Sea friends?” the old crone cackled as she manipulated the storms in Dusk Province. “Time to have some fun.”
“Humans. Still fighting among themselves as usual.” Injuries fully recovered, Scarlet Ape sniffed at the storms ripping through Dusk Province. It’d taken up residence on Levitating Island for a few months, but still hadn’t found what it was looking for.
“Protect the young ones under golden immortal realm and send them to Dusk Province, Beigong Xuan. Direct the Dusk River into the North Sea. Tsk, tsk, what a crazy surprise that no one has taken this treasure from Dusk.” It scratched its cheek and cackled, its fiery eyes dancing with cold fury. “The fox spirit is still alive… and dares call itself the monster spirit ancestor!!”
……
The five origin dao immortals jointly created a superstorm and sent it rampaging across Dusk Province, destroying what Lu Yun had just rebuilt. At the center of the storm was Dusk City. The Formation Orb hovered in midair and exuded rays of formation light to protect the city, but the storm had made a mess of the local power of the land, preventing weapons of war from being powered up in an offensive defense.
Located in the center of the province, the ancient tomb exceeding emperor-grade lay silent. The five origin dao immortals had launched the attack from outside the province, which meant they hadn’t triggered the local restriction.
The destructive superstorm had sealed off the province and was attempting to crush the capital city, but the Formation Orb had emerged to defend the territory. This was the first time it’d appeared in public since its burial aeons ago.
It seemed to be a resplendent cosmic body itself, the light it radiated hearkening back to the stars twinkling in the sky. Even the five origin dao immortals gaped in shock. They’d never for one moment imagined that the Formation Orb would be in Lu Yun’s hand.
