Chapter 635: Diabolical Tribulation of World Refinement (1/2)
Caught off guard, Ge Yanxia shrieked once again and was sent flying by the cannon shot.
“Oops, sorry.” Lu Yun scratched his head.
She came screaming back from the distant sky, her eyes blazing with fury.
“I grabbed the wrong one,” Lu Yun grumbled and put away the crystal cannon before manifesting a main cannon. “Should’ve been this one.”
Ge Yanxia shuddered violently. She was a primordial dao immortal, which placed her on the same level as a void-ascended dao immortal. Basic weapons of war and crystal cannons posed no threat to her. The main cannons that burned through ten billion crystals per charge, however, could not only cripple her, but kill her.
“That was an accident. If you dare get another thirty meters closer to me, though, I’ll butcher you right where you stand.” He leered at Ge Yanxia and aimed the cannon at her, whereupon she quickly hopped away and put thirty meters between them.
Seeing the crystal cannon put a smile on the Exalted celestial emperor’s face. Although many had bought such weapons from Dusk Province since the auction, very few used them with such a lack of restraint.
The cannons were voracious, insatiable monsters when it came to immortal crystals. Each blast cost billions of crystals; not everyone in the world of immortals was wealthy enough to afford that. Even the six profligates Lu Yun had befriended would only crush people with giant crystal mountains, rather than burn it all.
Things like crystal cannons and weapons of war were great strategic treasures that wouldn’t be used until the eleventh hour. No one would casually fling them around like toys, as was Lu Yun’s style.
In addition to Ge Yanxia, Donglin Taihuang had shifted away from Lu Yun as well, worried that the youth would turn the cannon on him in a fit of pique. The bad blood between them was irreconcilable, and the bounty of a hundred billion crystals Lu Yun had levied on him in Destiny City was still in effect.
Donglin Taihuang was far from Ge Yanxia’s level as the most basic weapons of war would reduce him to ashes from this distance.
……
Lu Yun ignored them and scanned the area within five thousand kilometers with the Spectral Eye.
“As expected, the sea divines have put in a showing.” He saw a dense population of living creatures beneath the Divine Sea. Although something was concealing their life energy, Lu Yun could still see them clearly.
There wasn’t just one, but a whole colony of them. They bore unique life signs, but weren’t particularly powerful. However, Lu Yun could sense the danger latent within them.
Zhao Wushuang was dressed in pristine white robes with a sword upon his back. Chiseled features set into a handsome face, he radiated a unique grace.
What the feck, another girl? Lu Yun frowned. His Spectral Eye saw through all of Zhao Wushuang’s disguises and gave him a glimpse of her true self.
Zhao Wushuang was a girl!
However, her disguise was much inferior compared to Qing Yu’s, as even the current Lu Yun wouldn’t be able to see through Qing Yu’s true self when she disguised herself as Qing Han.
Tribulation clouds gathered in the sky, obscuring the vast, clean blue. Faint shadows in the air around the Divine Sea revealed the presence of immortals who bore the participant ill intent.
Zhao Wushuang was the only “son” of the former Exalted celestial emperor, and a pureblood Exalted Divine. There were many in the world who wouldn’t allow her to overcome her tribulation and ascend to immortality from the void realm.
“My friends from the East Sea, please show this humble one some face.” Lu Yun took a step forward and bowed toward an empty corner of the sky.
