Chapter 983.1: Fuxi and Fuxi (1/2)

The horde of purple bale spirits a thousand strong was vastly different from the ones Lu Yun had seen before. They were stronger and faster; even Kui in the supreme pure realm could only barely hold them off. A thousand of them amassed together could also bring forth strength that rivaled a supreme pure realm immortal!

Lu Yun and Qing Yu regarded the scene broodingly. The lord-grade fortress ship couldn’t even withstand the dead spirits, they’d never be able to put up any resistance to the purple bale spirits.

“The fortress ships can sweep the world of immortals and some of the weaker lower realms, but they’re ineffective in Harshcloud realm!” Lu Yun sucked in a sharp breath and deployed the Divine Glory with a quick thought. Black ripples undulated from the vessel and destroyed the dead spirits it came in contact with.

These black ripples were the sound combat art that he’d inadvertently invented before. Supremely effective against dead spirits, it’d been incorporated into combat art talismans and popularized throughout the world of immortals. The combat art had also been refined into a treasure that was installed on the Divine Glory.

An explosion of the sound combat art instantly cleared the field, and the remaining ten lord-grade fortress ships knew that Lu Yun had come when they saw the Divine Glory. Quickly gathering around, the eleven fortress ships worked in tandem with each other and repelled the endless tide of dead spirits.

Though the Divine Glory was stronger than the other ships, it wasn’t fundamentally any different. It was still a lord-grade fortress ship. At most, it benefitted from Lu Yun’s strange inventions and strong treasures. It was the hand at the helm rather than the ship itself that was the greatest contributing factor to its strength.

……

“Father, are you alright?” Qing Yu rushed onto one of the ships and looked around for her father. Her shoulders sagged with relief when she saw that Qing Taxian was unharmed.

“I’m fine.” Qing Taxian turned solemn when he saw Lu Yun board the ship after his daughter. “Harshcloud Realm was dangerous to begin with, but the dead spirits weren’t as crazy as they are now. For some reason, they lost their minds a few days ago and attacked all of our strongholds with unprecedented ferocity. All of the Harshcloud strongholds have been lost, leaving just a few fortress ships running around for dear life.”

Qing Taxian grimaced with anguish. The five fortress ships in pieces on the ground below had belonged to the Dao Academy, each of them transporting hundreds of thousands of lives. Destruction of five of them meant that a million lives had been snuffed out!

“I know what’s going on.” Lu Yun’s expression darkened further. This was all his fault.

He’d inflicted heavy losses on the chaos creatures by taking three of their dao palaces. This was why they’d directed the dead spirits to furiously massacre the beings of the lower realms in revenge.

However, this also resulted in heavy casualties to the spirits. By now, the world of immortals had developed a variety of methods to counter the dead spirits; Lu Yun’s sound combat art was just one of them.

“Rebuild the Dao Academy branch and bring all of the immortals and beings in Harshcloud Realm here,” Lu Yun said decisively.

“But…” Lu Daoling hesitated at hearing these words. “If the rebuilt academy falls once again, that will mean the end of all Harshcloud descendants.”

“That won’t happen, not this time.” Lu Yun took a deep breath. “The dead spirits won’t be able to raze this Dao Academy no matter what they try this time.”
