Chapter 832: God of Wei River (1/2)

Even without the Karmic Tree, Lu Yun could sense dense desperation and despair choking the scene.

Color drained from the faces of Shennong, the tribe priest, Jiang Ti, and all twelve elders of the Yan Tribe. There wasn’t the slightest spark of hope in their eyes, and they didn’t even have the strength to question or berate Lu Yun.

“This is what mankind is now?” Frowning slightly, his face darkened ominously when he looked at the nine pairs of children he’d saved. These nine boys and girls each possessed splendid physique and were absolute geniuses. If they cultivated, they would progress at a tremendous pace and become the core strength of humanity one day!

“So this is what’s going on!” Lu Yun was no fool; he immediately grasped the situation and flames of fury burst from his heart. “How dare a river monster spirit damage the foundations of the human race. Get out here!”

Booom!

He imprinted a palm strike onto the water surface with a quick backhand, raising tall waves from the river. Despite being several kilometers wide, all of Wei River trembled at the disturbance.

“How dare a mewling human offend my master and ruin my master’s grand ritual! From today forth, the Yan Tribe and humans living around the Wei River will face extinction!”

Splaaaaash.

An even greater wave rose from the Wei River as an enormous yellowish gray fish leapt out of the river. Five hundred meters long, it bit down on Lu Yun with razor-sharp teeth.

“I wondered what was causing the trouble—just a fish spirit? Go die!!” With another backhand, a current of hazy sword qi erupted from Lu Yun’s palm. It grew explosively to five kilometers long and slashed the fish spirit in two before it reached him!

Sword dao!

With the sword as dao!

He wielded no sword in his hand, but there was one in his heart. The spirit energy within him spontaneously transmuted to sword qi and released a terrifying gout of sword dao.

Sword dao is the dao of those who walk the heavens, but the primitive great dao has raised it to even greater heights! That fish spirit was at least at peak golden core under the great dao, so the equivalent of a peak peerless immortal… but I still sliced it into two with one move!

The two halves of the monster spirit’s body floated silently in the center of Wei River, dying its waters red with scarlet blood. Fear and trepidation reigned supreme on land; the tribe stared dumbly at their future chief, barely comprehending what had just happened and not knowing what to do.

Flipping his hand over, Lu Yun lifted the two halves out of the water and smashed them down onto the banks before Shennong and the others.

“Lie Shan, you’ve committed a grave error today.” Shennong finally forced out through numb lips.

“Sacrificing eighteen human geniuses to this so-called river god is the real error! Do you pray for good weather, or that the river god doesn’t come up and eat more people?” Lu Yun landed from the air. He didn’t look at Shennong with any blame or disdain—such was what naturally developed in this environment. Humans possessed no powerhouses, so surrender and capitulation were the only things they could do in this terrifying great wilderness.

“All of you can go back now. I’ll take care of this so-called river god. If he dares come ashore, I’ll make sure he can’t go back.” Killing intent flashed through Lu Yun’s eyes.

“Lie Shan, I know what you rely on, but mountain ghosts can’t attack the Wei river god. If she does, the other divine spirits will attack her and there will even be great gods that come to kill her…” the priest said in a trembling voice.
