At the very instant [Sky-Shrouding] launched his counterattack, Lu Yang also sensed it.
The sword mark on Martial Uncle Chong Guang's side has been triggered.
Fellow Daoist Suo Huan too... [Spirit Ruins Blessed Land] is about to crumble. Although it has no impact on him anymore, he can't be exposed at this time.
After thinking it over, Lu Yang didn't rush.
Solve Fellow Daoist Suo Huan's side first.
Martial Uncle Chong Guang is a hero of his generation. How could he not have thought that [Sky-Shrouding] could tamper with his Chen Earth divine ability? He should have left a backup plan to deal with it.
With this thought, he immediately transmitted a message overseas.
Meanwhile, inside the Earth Fire Sea Heart Furnace, Suo Huan looked calmly at the crumbling [Spirit Ruins Blessed Land] before him and casually formed a hand seal.
The next second, the [Spirit Ruins Blessed Land], originally on the verge of collapse, was kneaded together by him out of thin air, resuming operation once again... This wasn't some special method, but simply the merit of Dao comprehension. After all, Suo Huan had long refined a Grotto-Heaven; mending a lower-grade blessed land was effortless for him.
Such a change naturally affected [Sky-Shrouding]'s judgment.
"How is this possible."
His pupils shrank suddenly, and surprise appeared in the depths of his eyes: "Suo Huan... has been under my surveillance for hundreds of years. This is not the Dao comprehension he should have!"
As expected, there is a mastermind.
When it rains, it pours. Just at this moment, in the direction of the Kingdom of Qing in Jiangbei, looking at the Chen Earth reversed back by [Sky-Shrouding], Chong Guang also made a response.
"Indeed there was a backup plan... it still have to come to this step..."
Above the Foundation Establishment Realm, Chong Guang lifted the blessed land. Vaguely, he could already see the [Sea of Bitterness] and see [Overturned Lamp Flame] responding to his aura.
Therefore, he made a prompt decision: "Sever!"
In an instant, Chong Guang's originally enormous [Cave Sun Blessed Land] collapsed instantly. All the outer parts fell off, leaving only the most crucial core.
And the fallen outer periphery of the blessed land ignited at this moment. Sensing [Overturned Lamp Flame], under the blessing of Chong Guang's fully equipped Dao comprehension, he briefly borrowed a part of [Overturned Lamp Flame]'s mighty power to affect himself, forcibly reversing the Chen Earth changed by [Sky-Shrouding] back again!
Seeing this scene, Lu Yang was instantly overjoyed:
Martial Uncle Chong Guang did well!
He wasn't unfamiliar with this move. At the end of Chong Guang's seeking golden core in the ninth life, it was by stripping off the outer periphery of the blessed land that he achieved the second chance for attining the [Overturned Lamp Flame].
It was just used by him in advance now.
Even better, although stripping the outer periphery of the blessed land lowered the success chance, but because reversing Chen Earth itself fit the concept of [Overturned Lamp Flame]...
Therefore, [Overturned Lamp Flame] actively leaned over.
As a result of this set of operations, Chong Guang's chance of success of attaining [Overturned Lamp Flame] didn't decrease but increased instead. It could be said that success was imminent!
Rumble!
Almost simultaneously, on the Sacred Fire Cliff, the Heavenly River swept across the heaven and earth. Obviously, Perfected Lord Feixue also saw this point. No longer hiding, she decisively chose to act!
At this moment, the rolling Heavenly River rushed forth, enveloping and confining the inside and outside of the Kingdom of Qing, instantly isolating all influences from the outside world!
"This is guarding against [Sky-Shrouding] continuing to interfere."
Lu Yang saw clearly, and some nervousness surged in his heart: "What will you do next? Let that Perfected Lord-level incarnation stop Feixue?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Netherworld, [Sky-Shrouding] hesitated only for an instant before making a decision with a cold sneer: "If I lose [Overturned Lamp Flame], could you possibly have it?"
He saw it very clearly.
Hong Yun hasn't acted yet! If Chong Guang really attain [Overturned Lamp Flame], what will your Hong Yun prove? That's right, I am anxious, but aren't you anxious?
Therefore, not only did he not bother with Chong Guang, but he focused his attention on Suo Huan instead. Then he formed hand seals, intending to directly blow up the [Spirit Ruins Blessed Land], only to be suppressed by Suo Huan in the nick of time. Both sides entered a wrestling phase, allowing Lu Yang to see his true thoughts.
You don't want to bother?
Lu Yang's expression suddenly turned gloomy. Hong Yun beside him was jumping with anxiety, already starting to curse [Sky-Shrouding] for being despicable and shameless.
"Sigh... I still thought too beautifully."
Lu Yang sighed: "It is [Sky-Shrouding] after all. Wanting him to follow my plan is still unrealistic. Now I am forced into a corner by him instead."
What to do?
Just as [Sky-Shrouding] expected, he couldn't sit by and watch Chong Guang really attain [Overturned Lamp Flame]. He was determined to get this Dao Fruit.
Because it was the only Dao Fruit Lu Yang could quickly control.
Besides [Overturned Lamp Flame], Lu Yang certainly had other Dao Fruit choices, such as [Wall-Top Earth], or [Pomegranate Wood]. He could choose all of these.
The problem lay in time.
Whether [Wall-Top Earth] or [Pomegranate Wood], if he wanted to swallow them, he must re-cultivate a [Life Form Body], consuming a massive amount of time and resources.
Only [Overturned Lamp Flame], because there was a ready-made Hong Yun, required him to pay nothing and could harvest results in the shortest time. In this life, from resetting to plotting, and then to the imminent success now, it only took twenty years in total!
If it were another Dao Fruit, how could it be this fast!
...My only choice is to act.
Lu Yang quickly made a decision. With a thought, the Righteous Dao Banner appeared. Purple Qi floated, and a human figure vaguely emerged, holding a mystic sword.
"Please draw the sword, Fellow Daoist."
As his voice fell, the sound of a sword chime rang out!
Clang!
He didn't let Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon leave the Righteous Dao Banner, because only in this way could he maximize the concealment of karma and hide himself, preventing people from finding his tracks.
Therefore, only a streak of sword light flew out. It grew in the wind, spanning between heaven and earth, causing all cultivators who witnessed the sword light to invariably see an unyielding precious sword in their hearts. Unbiased, it slashed straight onto the boundless Heavenly River created by Perfected Lord Feixue.
"Hmm? Who is it!"
Almost simultaneously, Perfected Lord Feixue's surprised exclamation rang out.
The next second, the supposedly flawless Heavenly River was actually slashed open with a fissure by that sword light. The blockade on the Kingdom of Qing was thus broken for an instant!
In an instant, [Sky-Shrouding] moved.
Clearly, the two had no communication beforehand, yet at this moment, they coordinated seamlessly. Lu Yang broke the seal, and [Sky-Shrouding] immediately took advantage of the opening to enter.
"Hmph, wise of you."
Deep in the Netherworld, [Sky-Shrouding] formed a seal with one hand. A point of black light appeared at his fingertip—it was precisely his Chen Earth divine ability, also the original Yin Chen Earth.
Back then, he first reversed his own Chen Earth divine ability, and then used this to reverse the Chen Earth of the world.
And at this moment, this Yin Chen Earth was deployed by him again. Invisible concepts lingered on it, and soon it connected with Chong Guang's Chen Earth divine ability.
"Reverse!"
In an instant, Chong Guang's expression changed drastically. Within his own blessed land, the Chen Earth that had recovered to the Yang attribute unexpectedly surged with rolling Yin Qi again.
am I going to fail?
At the moment this thought emerged, Chong Guang's eyes suddenly brightened slightly. He saw a sword mark gradually appearing on his Chen Earth divine ability.
"Rest assured Martial Uncle, I come to assist you!"
In the Jiangbei dense forest, Lu Yang similarly formed hand seals, operating the Tribulation Wave, using the divine wonder of [Revolution of Law] to forcibly stabilize the attribute of Chong Guang's Chen Earth divine ability!
At this moment, Lu Yang turned the tide from collapse!
[Sky-Shrouding]'s face sank suddenly.
Undoubtedly, Lu Yang's move saved Chong Guang, who should have failed, from a dire strait... As for why Chong Guang fell into that situation?
Don't ask that.
