Chapter 1227: The Redbud King Appears (1/2)
“You two are only in the inferior realm!!” The Meteorite King didn’t get a clear look at Lu Yun and the little fox’s cultivation level until now—they were inferior realm!!
He wanted to choke on regret. If he’d known that they were in the interior realm, he would’ve employed the most basic and violent method from the very beginning—wipe out everything on the mountain with a savage burst of power and crush them into minced meat!
Who would’ve thought that two supplemental grandmasters that almost rivaled a titled king would only be inferiors?!
Though supplemental cultivators weren’t skilled at combat, their cultivation realms were far from humble. Even ordinary supplemental cultivators would use precious resources and valuable treasures of the world to forcefully enhance their cultivation level, to say nothing of supplemental grandmasters.
To be a grandmaster almost always meant that one was in the superior realm!
Therefore, the Meteorite King had been strongly influenced by the assumption that the two grandmasters in hiding were in the superior realm. Who would’ve thought that they’d only now be undergoing the heavenly tribulation from inferior to common realm?!
The king was so infuriated that he wanted to spit out blood.
“These two used my arcane beast body as an ingredient to refine the Eight Treasures Return Pill!!” He finally understood what Lu Yun’s plans were.
Ordinary supplemental grandmasters or cultivators only wanted a cultivation realm, they didn’t care about foundations at all. After all, they studied the supplemental daos and not combat arts or secret methods for close body combat. Whether or not their foundations were solid was completely meaningless to a supplemental grandmaster.
When a pill such as the Eight Treasures Return Pill incorporated the crystal core of an arcane beast king, not only would it help the cultivator break through, but it would also consolidate and force the ascension without any damage to their foundation.
The Meteorite King had never fathomed that the two supplemental grandmasters would be refining this kind of pill!
Their heavenly tribulation was hot on the heels of their pill tribulation.
……
Electricity of colors that ran the gamut of a rainbow wrapped around Lu Yun. Thunder beads orbited his body, each of them brewing with terrifying power.
The green clad Meteorite King retreated with keen briskness. If it’d been any other king present, they wouldn’t have cared about the lightning snaking around Lu Yun. However, the Meteorite King was a ghost king, and tribulation lightning happened to be an ultimate counter to ghost kings.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Lu Yun waved a hand before the king had time to react and discharged the thunder beads into thunder and lightning that also echoed the colors of the rainbow. They churned together and came roiling towards the Meteorite King.
He shrieked and turned tail to flee. Not only did the multicolored bolts of lightning possess the power of extreme yang, but they were also imbued with the strength to exorcise evil and demons.
These were the attributes of the Yi Wood Cleansing Thunder that’d once belonged to the Divine Azure Dragon King.
Lu Yun had perfectly melded those attributes with his current thunder method and infused the tribulation lightning with those qualities whenever he deployed Thunder Palmstrike.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
A battle drum suddenly cut through the din. The tribulation clouds that had begun to disperse in the sky above gathered once more and roared with the fearsome power of wind and thunder.
The Battle Drum of Wind and Thunder.
This was the treasure that Lu Yun had refined in Redbud City with the hide of a kui and the bone of an azure dragon. When employed along with his Thunder Palmstrike and full activation of the Tome of Life and Death, he commandingly intercepted the heavenly tribulation and kept it over the mountain.
The drum directed the thunder and lightning together as a multicolored dragon of thunder that pounced viciously on the fleeing green clad king.
It vaporized all of the vicious ghosts in every spot it passed through, leaving the Purpleclad Duke and Dusksnow Morningstar agog with awe. It was their first time witnessing the power of a supplemental grandmaster.
“No wonder Hongmeng kings show courtesy and respect to any supplemental grandmaster they meet. I had no idea they were so incredible!” Morningstar sucked in a sharp breath. “How strong would they be if they were titled kings?”
“The two in front of us are almost titled kings!” the duke murmured. “They can compel their heavenly tribulation to stay—this is unheard of! It’s likely that only the supplemental kings of legend have the ability to do so.
“But the Meteorite King is a ghost king, and ghost kings are suppressed by heavenly tribulations. The two supplemental grandmasters wouldn’t be able to hold their own if it was any other king present.” The duke was keeping a calm head and quickly identified the crux of the issue.
As strong as supplemental grandmasters were, they were no kings in the end. If it wasn’t for the fact that the green clad Meteorite King was firmly counteracted by the heavenly lightning, he would easily kill Lu Yun and the little fox with a casual backhand.
Naturally, Lu Yun wouldn’t permit him any breathing space. Thunder ripped and roared through the mountain peak as resounding drum beats rapped through Meteorite Peak, vibrating vicious ghosts to dust.
Up in the sky, the deep purple Oddmoon flared with cuttingly sharp moonlight, joining the enormous dragon of thunder and lightning to smite the Meteorite King.
