Chapter 679: Deterrence from Levitating Island (1/2)
The iron rod that could attract lightning!
That was the real key!
As long as the strange apparatus could be broken or taken away, Lu Yun would certainly be buried under the endless barrage of judgment lightning.
Therefore, the immortals in the vicinity all sprang into action and targeted the rod by the boy’s side. A plethora of multicolored sword lights and assorted combat arts quickly sailed through the air.
……
“Who dares interfere!!” a furious shout exploded from the emptiness as a tall figure stepped out of the void. With a sweep of his giant metal staff, he shattered the incoming shower of combat arts and sword rays. However, immense recoil struck him as well, sending him drooping downward with blood seeping out of the corner of his mouth.
“What, is Levitating Island going to protect Lu Yun?” some immortals sneered. Although this figure was human in shape, it was in fact a gorilla, a silverback gorilla!
“I! Am! Yuan! Tong!” The silverback spat out a few human words, then transformed into a towering man with a dream-like flash of silver light.
“Lord Lu Yun is my benefactor. In life, I am Lord Lu Yun’s man, and in death, my soul is Lord Lu Yun’s servant!” Yuan Tong roared furiously. “You want to harm Lord Lu Yun? Over my dead body!”
Now a void-ascended immortal, he spun his staff in a howling circle through the air and smashed it indiscriminately into a group of immortals.
“You court death!”
The group all hailed from the Lang Clan of Enlightened Major. There existed no enmity between them and Lu Yun, but now that the governor was besieged by an assortment of factions from all over the world, they naturally wouldn’t hesitate to kick him while he was down.
The clan’s powerhouses weren’t the only ones who’d come. Even some ordinary immortals and cultivators were in attendance, attracted by the lure of easy gains. Everyone knew that Lu Yun’s death would signal the end of Dusk Province. Sooner or later, the province would be pillaged.
Sure, it was protected by a restriction that stopped the most powerful immortals from entering, but cultivators and immortals below the golden immortal realm were free to do as they pleased. Never did they think they would run into a violent silverback that’d charge headfirst at them and storm them with his staff!
The Lang Clan’s powerhouses roared in anger and several dao immortals immediately surrounded Yuan Tong.
Hum!
The air vibrated as a silver crescent moon shot into the sky. Caught off guard, the Lang dao immortals who’d already caught Yuan Tong were blasted away by moonlight.
Struggling free of his bonds, Yuan Tong activated a combat art that enlarged his frame until he stood thirty thousand meters tall. His figure gleamed with dazzling silver brilliance and his staff danced in the air, wreaking havoc in the Lang Clan’s ranks.
A charming girl with silver hair stood under the crescent of the silver moon: Silvermoon Wolfking Silverblaze had arrived.
One of the rare wolfkings born to the Silvermoon Wolves over the past eighty thousand years, she was blessed with potential even greater than Yuan Tong’s. More importantly, the two monster spirits had once followed Lu Yun on a rampage through the Sovereign World. They’d benefited immensely from it, and thanks to Lu Yun awakening the ancestral bloodlines in their veins, their strength was second to none.
After the Sovereign Ranking Battles, the golden scarlet ape had brought them back to Levitating Island and taught them with painstaking care. When the silver scarlet ape returned, she’d immediately taken the two of them as her personal disciples.
How powerful was the silver scarlet ape? She’d killed Kui with a single punch inside the celestial master tomb!
Though the two monster spirits were only void-ascended true immortals, having received personal tutelage by the silver scarlet ape made them number among the strongest of true immortals!
