Chapter 142: Meeting the crazed old man again
Atop the Desolate Peak, covered with vines that extend hundreds of metres up into the sky. An immense flower patch blossoming, seemingly like a multicoloured crystal, spewing forth dazzling lights that sway gently in the wind.
Amongst the exotic flowers, a green clothed old man with hair white as snow, his countenance delicate like jade without a single wrinkle, his eyes seeming to contain unfathomable depths.
Behind him, it was inky black as though it had turned to night, it could also be imagined as an endless hole that connected the void, giving one a feeling of profoundness.
Pop!
The flowers under his feet let out a soft sound as the flower petals darkened. It was like encountering snowfall, swiftly withering away, soon after the vines wilted and fell.
The elder of the Ji Family had not moved but the black void behind him began to release a black light which shrouded the upper area and descended towards the Desolate Peak.
A patch of black like dark clouds pressing down, it was extremely imposing and left one feeling stifled, as though a large black mountain were pressing downwards.
Li Ruyu silently stood there without moving, the surrounding vegetation began to flash with a green light as sprawling trees began to swiftly grow, like umbrellas which shot toward the sky, blocking the countless black lights.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a black trident appeared in the sky which instantly chopped away the tall trees, continuing down towards the Desolate Peak. It was over hundred metres in length and seemed as though it could rend the earth asunder.
Atop the Desolate Peak, a white waterfall seemed to be rushing towards the sky, like a silver dragon as it rose, instantly colliding with the black trident. There was no stupendous collision or brilliant display, the silver waterfall was gently winding and weaving about continuously, binding the the enormous black trident.
“The natural Great Dao really lives up to its name.” The expert of the Ji Family exclaimed as the entire sky became dark, dark clouds rumbled and pressed down with intermittent streaks of purple lightning flashing within, shrouding the entire Desolate Peak.
In the area around Li Ruyu, all the vegetation began to release a fragrance as countless green lights rushed to the sky, a rain of light seemed to fill the sky, this was a natural and gentle energy that filled the air, spreading out in all directions.
“Shua!” The great void technique appears!
The elder of the Ji Family had silently appeared behind Li Ruyu as he slapped forward.
“Bang!”
Li Ruyu seemed as though he could see through the void, capturing traces of the great void technique as he turned to block the attack. Two comets seemed to collide as a terrifying energy fluctuation expanded outwards, the energy did not damage the Desolate Peak but rather rushed to the sky, disappearing into nothingness.
“Bang! Bang!”
The sounds of striking constantly rang out as frightening energy fluctuations continued to expand outwards, like lightning as it pierced towards the sky.
The expert of the Ji Family had used the Great Void Technique, mysterious and profound allowing him to appear randomly at different areas, it was simply impossible to predict, a top-notch technique.
However, Li Ruyu seemed to have precognition as he moved like flowing water, naturally moving as his clothes fluttered, continually blocking in various directions.
“Boom!”
Finally, a large black hand covered the sky as it pressed down, encompassing the entire Desolate Peak as it attempted to uproot it.
Such a terrifying scene made everyone start to panic, the frightening fluctuations could be felt all the way to their bones and many people began to involuntarily tremble.
Great Palm of the Void!
Such a fearsome technique was terrifying, a normal cultivator would simply be made helpless, it was as though the sky itself were pressing down.
“Boom!” Li Ruyu rushed forward with a palm to meet it.
In an instant, the natural aura of the Desolate Peak expanded outwards as a green light and black light clashed, Li Ruyu and the large black palm were encased within it.
Oppressive sounds continued to ring out as the surrounding mountain peaks trembled, this was a stunning scene for everyone present.
Finally, there was no explosion or destruction as the lights slowly receded, the large black palm slowly faded away as Li Ruyu descended onto the Desolate Peak.
“Good, good, good!” The elder of the Ji Family also descended downwards: “The legacy of the Desolate Peak is indeed phenomenal, it isn’t an ancient scripture but it can actually match up to it, the natural Dao, you may really become the second great exponent of the Desolate Peak.” The two people had not used all their strength and had merely been testing the other party, this was enough to shock everyone who was currently witnessing this.
“What has senior come to our Desolate Peak for?” Li Ruyu asked.
Not far away, Ye Fan had a shocked expression on his face, Li Ruyu was already so old yet he still addressed the other party as a senior, this was definitely a famed person of the Ji Family.
“Wandering calmly and meditating, I’ve also come looking for one of our descendents while passing by.”
At this moment, Ji Ziyue was hiding within the small wooden house, her large eyes were moving as she swiftly went forward: “Granduncle, why have you come?”
“Naturally it’s to look for you.”
“Brother Ji Dang has come to our Tai Xuan sect, why didn’t you inform us?” A venerated elder of the Tai Xuan sect had appeared at this moment.
“Barging in like this, I’m really sorry.” Ji Dang of the Ji Family cusped his hands in an apologetic stance. Ji Dang began to rise into the sky as he went forward to meet the other party.
