Chapter 500: Ch 500 – Defying Heaven by Half a Move
“Brother He, oh Brother He, you really are Liuli Sect’s running man!”
“What’s wrong? Did last time leave you with psychological trauma? Now, with tens of thousands of Liuli Sect disciples fighting a bloody battle at the front gate, you, the chief disciple, are fleeing here in such a pathetic state?!”
In the dense forest of Liuli Sect’s back mountain, as a black dragon’s phantom transformed into dark clouds and dove down, the lavishly dressed man standing on the dragon’s head raised his hand to summon his divine staff, his lips curling into a mocking sneer.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!
As Wen Ruxiu waved his staff in command, the giant dragon beneath him immediately opened its abyssal maw and unleashed a pitch-black dragon’s breath, burning a molten chasm across the bamboo forest ahead, blocking the path forward.
Behind the molten chasm, the white-robed youth who had been fleeing all this way finally stopped.
Yino turned around, his peripheral vision scanning the surroundings, confirming they were now far from the main battlefield at Liuli Sect’s front gate.
After that, he actually looked up at the black dragon in the sky, then shrugged and laughed as if finally accepting his fate.
“Hehe… heh heh heh…”
“What’s this? Death at your doorstep, powerless to resist, yet you laugh instead of rage?”
Wen Ruxiu stood with his hands behind his back atop the dragon’s head, chin slightly raised, his spirited brows displaying nothing but arrogance.
He laughed along with Yino.
However, after laughing a few times, Wen Ruxiu gradually couldn’t laugh anymore.
Because he discovered that Yino, as a righteous cultivator driven to a dead end, now laughed in a way that was even more sinister and chilling than Wen Ruxiu himself!
For some reason, Wen Ruxiu started feeling a chill down his spine.
He also scanned the dense bamboo forest around them, but since the two great sects had erupted into conflict, numerous disciples had already rushed to the front gate for battle. This area of Liuli Sect’s back mountain, for hundreds of miles around, was completely deserted.
Honestly… Wen Ruxiu was starting to feel uneasy now.
Was he really chasing Yino, or had Yino deliberately lured him to this deserted place?
“Wen Ruxiu, do you really think I’m still the same person I was before?”
The cold laughter stopped abruptly. Yino dropped all pretense and raised his hand to summon a black-red blade radiating endless demonic energy.
As his words fell, terrifying abyssal demonic energy erupted from within Yino’s body. Black hellfire, like an eternal inferno, spread outward from Yino as the center, burning in all directions.
In just a few seconds, the bamboo forest within ten miles had turned to charcoal. The entire dense forest of Liuli Sect’s back mountain seemed to form a natural arena.
Ten miles of empty space. Absolutely enough for the two of them to truly fight to death.
“What!!… how do you also have abyssal demonic energy?!”
The familiar yet strange abyssal aura not only made the black dragon beneath Wen Ruxiu retreat somewhat, but also left Wen Ruxiu, who hailed from the Eastern Sea, feeling somewhat bewildered by the scene before him.
He could naturally tell that the young man before him, bearing abyssal energy, was definitely not righteous but possessed absolute yin energy similar to the [Abyss] that Divine Abyss Gate worshipped.
But the strange thing was… Wen Ruxiu had never seen such potent demonic energy that had nothing to do with the Eastern Sea Demon Abyss.
Suddenly, Wen Ruxiu recalled something the Grand Elder of Divine Abyss Gate had once mentioned.
[On the other side of the Eastern Sea, in that wasteland of the Western Region, there exists another fractured abyss chasm…]
[The Western Region’s demon abyss is different from the Eastern Sea. They have no sea there, but beneath that wasteland chasm connects to another world, and beneath their demon abyss dwells an ancient deity that doesn’t belong to the Eastern Sea Dragon King…]
“Wait!”
“This… this is impossible…”
“This aura, could you be an evil cultivator from the Western Region?!”
Wen Ruxiu’s eyes widened as if everything happening before him was utterly inconceivable.
After all, he’d lived for thirty years but had never seen another source of abyssal energy besides the Eastern Sea Demon Abyss.
“Wen Ruxiu, do you think only Divine Abyss Gate is favored by the abyss?”
Yino naturally couldn’t be bothered to answer his questions.
He gripped his sword with both hands and suddenly plunged the already corrupted Wangziu into the ground. Instantly, terrifying dark energy spread from Yino as the center, growing endless blood-colored vines.
These vines spread their roots horizontally underground, their dense aura instinctively making Wen Ruxiu, as a living being, feel a primal fear.
Not only that, but the black dragon formed from abyssal energy also felt physiologically uncomfortable.
The black dragon’s massive yellow vertical pupils scanned the surroundings, constantly on guard against the wildly growing blood-colored vines.
CRACK CRACK CRACK!
The vines coiled around, gradually forming a massive wreath behind Yino.
Beneath the wreath, the vines absorbed the life energy of heaven and earth, gradually supplying nutrients up to the wreath, which coalesced into a massive blood-colored eyeball.
[…?]
The blood-colored eyeball’s pupil twisted.
She first saw the black dragon and Divine Abyss Gate’s prince across from her, then lowered her gaze to the unfamiliar youth who had summoned her.
Clearly, even within this Liuli Illusion Realm, the Blood Moon Mother Goddess felt strange about Yino. This unfamiliar yet somehow intimately familiar nine-lifetime devotee.
“Mother Goddess, if I win this battle, your child will offer this Eastern Sea Dragon King upon your dining table!”
Yino had no interest in chanting. He simply spread his arms and smiled as he made this pie-in-the-sky promise to the massive eyeball behind him.
At these words, the originally somewhat confused Mother Goddess immediately became excited.
TAP TAP TAP!
The blood-colored vines moved like octopus tentacles, excited because the Mother Goddess was salivating over the black dragon’s life force.
For a moment, the black dragon’s phantom retreated further, its snarling and hissing movements showing even more disgust and wariness.
This was normal.
All living things under heaven would feel physiologically uncomfortable under the Mother Goddess’s gaze. Except for loyal old devotees like Yino.
“Mother Goddess, lend me some power!”
“Your child’s bond with you across nine lifetimes is worth you going all in for me!”
The altar construction complete, Yino gradually stopped exerting force.
He pulled the demonic blade from the ground and gathered his inner qi, preparing for battle.
At the same time, the blood-colored vines covering the ground, under the Mother Goddess’s will, rapidly crawled toward Yino’s body and autonomously wove themselves into magnificent vine armor.
“Thank you, Your child will not disappoint you!”
Yino clasped his fists before his chest in salute. He could feel his entire body had received the blessing.
The countless resets and bond-building from his past life sitting before a computer, now transferred into Yino’s soul, really did work across any spacetime dimension.
However…
“Just this much power still isn’t nearly enough to defeat Wen Ruxiu.”
After enjoying the Mother Goddess’s blessing, Yino regained his composure.
He exchanged glances with Ruoning nearby. She instantly understood, clenching her fists within her sleeves. Deep purple demonic clan spirit patterns immediately manifested on the girl’s body, ultimately transforming into a massive Primordial Phantom Butterfly phantom.
The Primordial Phantom Butterfly’s wings beat like a shriek, carrying a full load of top-tier treasures and the primordial power of the Innate Liuli Holy Body as it dove toward Yino.
BOOM!
The phantom butterfly merged into Yino’s back, transforming into ancient azure-blue totems.
At the same time, even more potent abyssal qi exploded within Yino’s body, forming a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!!
Wen Ruxiu bathed in that magnificent divine aura beneath the light pillar, too shocked to speak.
He looked up to see that the night sky, previously shrouded by Divine Abyss Gate’s formation, had already been scattered by Yino’s seven-colored light pillar.
The terrifying divine power even blasted a field of brilliant stars across the night sky.
“Wen Ruxiu!”
The white-robed boy slowly opened his silver-moon star eyes. The terrifying energy fluctuations even triggered thunder-collapsing celestial phenomena like a Tribulation Crossing.
“Today, I’m going to see whether your plot armor’s destiny is truly unstoppable, or whether I, with my buffs stacked to the max, approaching the Remnant Immortal Realm, can defy heaven by half a move!”
