Chapter 393: Natural-Born Peerless Immortal (1/2)

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone, including Wayfarer, who’d come to Dusk Province’s rescue. Lu Yun stood atop Dusk City with Black Emperor hovering beside him, the mouth of which was melting and still emitting black smoke with a burnt fragrance.

At full power, an attack from Black Emperor could rival an origin dao immortal. No one had expected him to make a sudden riposte now, and that was all it’d taken to kill the old crone. There were fatal injuries on the old crone to begin with, so when she was caught by surprise, she hadn’t stood a chance against the powerful attack.

……

“That’s my Divine Seaward Iron!” Scarlet Ape screeched from its vantage point on Levitating Island, its fiery gaze piercing the air straight into Dusk Province and glaring at the cannon next to Lu Yun.

“You, die!” Blinding rage descended after the other four origin dao immortals recovered from their stunned trance. Again, they gathered the great combat arts they’d used before, but a chilling shudder from the bottom of their hearts interrupted them this time.

The cannon that had almost killed Scarlet Ape had appeared again, affording the group an up close and personal look. It was pitch black and shaped like a giant fortress ship, the bow tapering into its mouth.

Once the superstorm dissipated, the Formation Orb of Yin and Yang shielding Dusk Province embedded itself in the mouth of the cannon. The province was again cast in monochrome light by the treasure.

Poised for attack, the four origin dao immortals once again paused and stared incredulously.

“He’s tapped into the true power of the Formation Orb,” muttered one of them. “How is he doing that?” Even they might not be able to wield the power of a connate-grade treasure.

“The question is how many times you can activate that treasure.” Another dao immortal sucked in a breath and said frostily, “Your fortress ship will be destroyed after another shot.”

“That’s right. I can only fire one more shot.” Lu Yun landed on the fortress ship and looked straight at the dao immortals tens of thousands kilometers away to the west, his expression derisive. “However, I can assure you that the shot will kill one of you. So I wonder who it’ll be?”

The four origin dao immortals stilled and exchanged uneasy looks. In the form of a cannon, the Divine Glory could tap into the true power of a connate-grade treasure and launch an attack more powerful than Black Emperor was capable of, the level of which had already killed the old woman. Even celestial emperors would have trouble surviving the hit.

The four origin dao immortals were all already grievously injured. They couldn’t dodge the attack like Scarlet Ape had done, so one more of them would die.

They’d all narrowly escaped death to pick their origin dao fruit and valued their lives too much to take the risk.

Of course, Dusk Province would also lose its last line of defense after Lu Yun took his shot. The remaining three survivors would destroy Dusk Province and kill Lu Yun. Wayfarer might stop them from destroying the province, but he had no reason to stop them from taking a life.

“He’s just a cultivator!” an old man in dao robe narrowed his eyes and transmitted to his three surviving companions. “Without those creations of his from the supplemental paths, he’s nothing but an insect. We can kill him a million different ways as soon as he leaves Dusk Province.”

“We go!” The four origin dao immortals glared at the silver beam of light from the manor with open frustration. Its appearance, and the stars it’d manifested in broad daylight, was a truly irksome presence. Then, they slowly retreated. “Lu Yun isn’t our problem. We must kill the monster spirit fetus!”

……

Lu Yun sighed in relief at their retreating backs.

“Origin dao immortals are the most powerful beings in the world of immortals, apart from the nine celestial emperors. Who would’ve thought they would suffer a defeat at your hands?” Wayfarer turned to gaze upon Lu Yun with unfocused eyes.

Wanfeng, the girl dressed in emerald, happily threw herself into Lu Yun’s arms. The Dusk lord was likewise delighted to see his long-absent maid.
