Chapter 747: The King of Treasures (1/2)
The head of the Panorama Pavilion had decisively sold the Tribulation Traversing Pill to the Lins because the trading guild had formations of heaven and earth in their arsenal—to the tune of equipping thirteen primordial arcane dao immortals. With these formations, they could pluck origin dao fruits with their own strength.
The dominating appearance of thirteen arcane dao immortals by Lu Yun’s side sent waves throughout the world. They represented a staggering half of the world’s fortune!
Hot on the heels of the merchant alliance were the five forefathers of the Star Demon Sect. Dense demonic air wreathed around them, fully concealing their true appearances and leaving room for unfettered release of frosty killing intent.
These five had remained at the Skandha Range after the destruction of Witherdew Major, staying out of public view and going without formations of heaven and earth. The strength they demonstrated with their showing now rivaled that of the crippled origin dao immortals, and in fact, threatened to exceed it.
Apart from these reinforcements, Lu Yun also sensed the presences of Chen Xiao, Qing Buyi, Mo Yi, and Lu Feng in the area. Though they didn’t reveal themselves in person, their forceful aura locked onto every person present.
Thus, a curiously frozen scene presented itself as no one dared make the first move.
More than eighty percent of the most elite powerhouses of the world were gathered in the skies over Life Province of Nephrite Major. Tragic devastation would visit every local denizen and those beyond if battle were to break out. Though it might not reach the level of the great war a hundred thousand years ago, it wouldn’t be that far off either.
All along, the Purple Firmament had curbed flawless origin dao immortals from taking the stage because the current world of immortals couldn’t endure their strength. When Ashu battled Yin Jiuying last time, they’d done so in the outer realm. If they’d remained in the atmospheric reaches of the world of immortals, their overpowering auras would’ve decimated all life.
As time went on, the enormous Central World continued to shrink and disappear into Qing Yu.
“Witherdew Major is already no more, so what of destroying another Nephrite Major?” Qi Hai’s voice suddenly rang out. “These are tumultuous times, and truce was never declared in the war from a hundred thousand years ago. We are just a continuation of it! …chaaaaaarge!”
He flew into motion as he could ill afford to wait any longer. He needed the kingdom of hell that Lu Yun possessed! Hell was the foundation of the human race, but the boy didn’t place humanity at the top of his priorities. This was at great odds with Qi Hai’s principles and would be tolerated no longer.
Boom!
An enormous pill cauldron shot up from Destiny City and bore down on the Central World with harrowing heat and light.
“Lu Yun is wielding Violetgrave’s strength and can only maintain it for four hours. His power will disappear after that!” Qi Hai loudly announced to the crowd. “We don’t need to pay any attention to him, we just need to prevent Qing Yu from refining the Central World!”
“Bring it on, then.” Lu Yun exploded in size until he was greater than even the twenty-fourth facet. Standing in front of it, he punched out at the blazing pill cauldron headed his way.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!” Silverlight, Goldenlight, the Dark North Sword Sect, Ingress Island, and several celestial emperors took action at the same time. Taking Qi Hai’s words to heart, they ignored the gigantic Lu Yun and made for Qing Yu. Snarling in anger, the five Star Demon Sect forefathers and thirteen merchant alliance heads met them head on.
