Chapter 490: Mo Yis Senior Sister (1/2)

A collective gasp of shock and astonishment followed the origin dao immortal’s observation.

Once upon a time, the Golden Lion King had suffered great injuries to attain origin dao immortality, marking his cultivation as a crippled one as well. Yet its latest appearance showed that its dao fruits had been restored. Its old wounds afflicted it no longer!

……

Qing Han turned ghastly pale. Her current replica was refined from the connate spirit root Moon Osmanthus, but that wouldn’t allow it to remain intact under the pressure of a flawless origin dao immortal.

Xing Chen whitened as well. He interposed himself between Qing Yu and the lion, taking on the burden of the pressure alongside her.

“If you’re not coming out… then die.”

Bam!

The Golden Lion King raised a foreclaw, aiming a swipe into Dusk Province. The appendage expanded to a hundred thousand times its normal size. It blotted out the sky like a mountain, threatening to crash down on Qing Yu, Xing Chen, and the Dusk capital ruins.

“No… even if a war treasure was charged to full power, it still wouldn’t hurt a flawless origin dao immortal!” Lu Yun struggled to get up. His exhaustion from calling upon the inheritance tower meant that he had nothing left to spare for the Divine Glory.

The other war treasures at his disposal could kill origin dao immortals, yes, but only injured ones. The old lion could do the same with a casual slap of its palm, so the cannons were of no threat to it.

“The corpse puppet!” Lu Yun gritted his teeth. He had no choice but to use the celestial emperor corpse puppet! Aside from this final weapon, he had nothing else with which to fend off the lion. He’d wanted to save it for Scarlet Ape in the North Sea, but what else could he do now?!

……

Suddenly, everything became very quiet. The claw reaching into Dusk Province ground to a halt, some invisible restriction binding it in place. Every mote of dust, every speck of qi, became immobile.

A light-blue figure descended from the heavens, gracefully landing upon Dusk Province’s soil. A middle-aged daoist nun, she wore the simple robes of her order and her hair was swept up into a bun. Although she seemed to be thirty-something at first, a second look revealed many girlish features about her.

Shwip!

A sword light flew forth from her hand.

The golden lion’s mountain of a palm crashed to the ground, severed and spraying an arc of golden blood high into the sky. The lion king wanted to scream, but the restriction holding it firmly in place meant that it could only tremble with silent agony.

“Keep your subordinates on a better leash, Scarlet Ape. Next time, it will lose its head, instead.” The daoist nun projected cold lethality.

Upon Levitating Island, the daydreaming ape seemed to recover itself. It inclined its head very slowly.

The nun spun around, then disappeared. As she did so, everything went back to normal.

“Aaaaaaaaieeee!” The lion’s anguished shriek came a little late. It retracted its forearm, then fled with its tail between its legs.

Lu Yun let out a breath of relief and retracted his consciousness from Violetgrave.
