Chapter 581: Bloodline Success (1/2)
Seeing the sword river curling around Lu Yun, Wu Tulong turned grave, but an intense fighting spirit overflowed from the depths of his eyes. The golden spear shook gently in his hand, producing a faintly discernible dragon cry.
Dragon soul!
A dragon soul was unexpectedly sealed inside the spear!
Given the formidable might Lu Yun could sense from the soul… it was likely the soul of an ancient skydragon, its colossal strength sealed inside the spear and bequeathing the weapon strength enough to destroy the world.
The projection of a pale golden dragon emerged from the spear and coiled around Wu Tulong, gently burning like a golden flame.
“Alas!” Lu Yun heaved a long sigh. “Wu Tulong, senior brother Wu, I, too, dearly wish to battle you, but now’s not the time.”
Rumble!
Space shook as a black cannon appeared beside Lu Yun. He’d previously burned a measly billion immortal crystals to fire at the fur seals, a far cry from the cannon’s limits.
“You!!” Indignation and frustration descended when Wu Tulong saw Lu Yun vigilantly withdraw his sword form and take out his weapon of war.
Although Wu Tulong was also a mere tribulation away from becoming a void-ascended immortal, his cultivation level still wasn’t enough to ward off a shot from a weapon of war. For many, such weapons were a great invention that hadn’t existed back in the Primordial Era. If they had… perhaps the immortal dao wouldn’t have been severed, and the world of immortals wouldn’t have fragmented.
“Lu Yun, are you admitting that you’re worse than me? That you’re afraid of fighting me?” Two golden flames burned in Wu Tulong’s eyes as his lips curved up with a hint of disdain.
“There’s no need to goad me.” Lu Yun shook his head. “I know what you’re trying to do. If we start fighting, it’ll cause the yin dragon vein to run berserk and ruin my disciple’s efforts. For my disciple’s sake, I can only have you suffer some indignation for now.”
He waved a hand, causing white light to glint from the cannon’s mouth. If not for Wu Tulong agitating the dragon vein, Lu Yun might truly have gone another round with him… But the presence of a dragon soul would resonate with the yin dragon vein and stimulate the vein to break free of the Dragonspike Litany and Dragonshift Method keeping it in check.
“Don’t move, or I’ll kill you.” A murderous glint flashed through Lu Yun’s eyes. “You might be a worthy opponent, but… there are more geniuses appearing everyday in the world of immortals now. Many among them would make as good an opponent as you.”
Wu Tulong’s face sank. With a harrumph, he turned on his heels and left; he could see Lu Yun’s determination. Had he stayed a moment longer, the Dao Flower’s guardian would’ve surely fired the cannon and blasted him to death.
……
Lu Yun sighed with relief at Wu Tulong’s departure. Deep down, he didn’t want to kill the man. The terrors of soul planting were a known quantity, but Wu Tulong had defeated it head-on with staunch will alone! Such a feat wasn’t something an ordinary man could do.
Despite Wu Tulong’s departure, Lu Yun didn’t lower his guard. He could still sense several mighty consciousnesses in the vicinity, ones that made regular passes every now and then.
Without a doubt, there were still others eyeing the yin dragon vein.
The yin energy inside the vein had dwindled by now, so it wasn’t impossible for a powerful immortal to carry it off with their own power. However, given the deterrence of the weapon of war, none of these people dared show themselves.
The Arcane Yin Fruit had already been sent to hell and was in the middle of merging with the flattened pulp that was left of his replica. But the process was rather slow, and results overnight were out of the question.
On the third day, the yin energy below the lake surged once more from underground, sending the body of energy into a boil.
