Chapter 687: The Things A Man Does For Love (1/2)

Lu Yun floated in the air, his figure illuminated by flares of black lightning. Those at the scene inhaled sharply, their eyes betraying unease. The Dao Flower projection was right next to him—their truest target—but no one dared approach him in the end.

“Lu Yun!” Sword Divine Dongfang Hao’s voice suddenly sounded again. “I wonder how much lightning you have left after killing all those fur seals. You may look strong right now, but you’re completely empty on the inside.”

The man was spot on.

Lu Yun had expended almost all of the lightning he’d absorbed, and what little was left could be seen crackling around his figure. While he could continue absorbing divine lightning from the highest reaches of the sky, tribulation lightning was on a different level altogether.

Many felt the lure of Sword Divine’s words. The sudden arrival of the demon god and his fur seals had inflicted heavy casualties. If they failed to obtain the Dao Flower projection after all that and had to watch Lu Yun establish his sacred land… all of those losses would be meaningless, and the bleeding wouldn’t stop there.

They were also quite willing to believe Dongfang Hao. He’d been the one to spread the news that Lu Yun’s tribulation would take place on this day! As for him taking the demon god’s side… Well, what did they care about that? Sword Divine wasn’t a good man to begin with.

“Are you people that eager to die?” A cold glint in his eyes, Lu Yun quirked a brow at the immortals advancing on him.

“The Dao Flower concerns us all. Your insignificant Dusk Province doesn’t deserve such a treasure!” An arcane dao immortal narrowed his eyes, his tone cold.

The Divine Glory was no longer anywhere in sight; it’d returned to the kingdom in hell. Meanwhile, millions of Dusk Phalanx soldiers sailed their lord-grade fortress ships behind Lu Yun and spread out in a straight battle line.

However, they were matched by celestial legions from different majors positioning themselves into battle formations and facing the Dusk Phalanx from afar. Bloodshed crept into the air, and war could erupt at any moment.

Bang!

Blinding lightning suddenly flashed beside Lu Yun as a giant beast surrounded by purple-golden bolts of lightning slowly walked out of the emptiness.

Kui!

The creature unleashed the full power of an ancient origin dao immortal for all to see. Dark, heavy clouds materialized in the sky, the deafening clap of thunder roaring amidst them.

Everyone looked on aghast, especially the two scarlet apes. Silverlight had slain Kui, but here it was, safe and sound! Moreover, standing at Lu Yun’s side, it exuded an awe-inspiring presence and overwhelming power even greater than before. While Kui’s strength hadn’t yet reached peak origin dao realm, it wasn’t far from it.

“So that’s why!” The dao immortal that’d spoken earlier suddenly added, “This old man will bid one hundred ten trillion immortal crystals to buy your Dao Flower projection!”

Lu Yun: “...”

The gathered immortals: “...”

……

“One hundred twenty trillion!” someone else soon followed suit.

Lu Yun: “...”

“One hundred thirty!” Bids rose and fell in quick succession.

Everyone desired the Dao Flower projection. As long as they could engrave their own dao runes on the projection, they would be connected to the immortal dao itself. Even if they weren’t interested in establishing a sacred land, it’d still benefit them in a multitude of ways.

“At long last, you’ve exposed your full hand.” Dongfang Hao’s proud voice arose once again. “You’ve exposed your last trump card on this day, so I wonder what you’ll be able to do for Qing Yu when she faces her tribulation three months from today!”

An invisible sword light flashed through the sky as a sudden stillness descended upon the crowd.

Qing Yu’s tribulation!
