KA-BOOM!
At this moment, a violent roar accompanied by infinite illusory colors submerged Lu Yang, causing the entire pagoda transformed from [Nourishing Life Master] to tremble slightly.
Lu Yang's figure was instantly swallowed by the brilliance.
Mu Changsheng felt severe pain in his ears; even resisting with all his might, he couldn't be spared, and blood flowed from both sides.
Perfected Lord Feixue and Perfected Lord Hanguang Futian, who had originally intended to act, took a step back, a hint of astonishment revealed in the depths of their eyes.
Everyone was a Saint Sect Perfected Lord; they understood each other tacitly.
Interesting... that mysterious Perfected Lord cultivating the Dharma Body was plotted against by [Sky-Shrouding]. [Sky-Shrouding] must have negotiated terms with Gangxing and the Old Dragon Lord long ago?
Infinite illusory colors interwoven, transforming into a storm of destruction sufficient to strangle any profound wonder or concept. Even an Ancient Method Golden Core cultivator cultivating the Dharma Body would inevitably die without a burial place under the bombardment of three Tier One Perfected Lords. Even if it were Perfected Lord Feixue in this situation, she would probably only be able to wait for death and reincarnation.
So... dead for sure?
Wrong!
In the next second, Perfected Lord Feixue smiled.
The illusory colors dispersed, revealing a tall and slender figure. His robes were tattered, his appearance extremely wretched, and the person himself was almost reduced to a man of blood.
But he wasn't dead.
At this moment, everyone except Perfected Lord Feixue revealed a look of shock. Even [Sky-Shrouding], who had laid the layout, could hardly conceal the surprise in his heart.
How could he not be dead!
It shouldn't be. I tested that [Future Life Aspect] many times before; I know its approximate bearing capacity. It's impossible for it to block this strike!
Where was the problem?
For a moment, [Sky-Shrouding] actually couldn't figure it out. He could only watch helplessly as Lu Yang straightened his back, his gaze sweeping coldly over the three people who had just besieged him.
At the same time, concept like clear water constantly flowed out from the wounds all over his body, irrigating his body which was covered in cracks and seemed ready to shatter and disintegrate at any moment. This allowed his condition to improve slightly. Seeing this appearance, [Sky-Shrouding] finally thought of the key.
[Wellspring Water]!
At this moment, [Sky-Shrouding]'s heart was full of astonishment: It's Suo Huan! Back when he fought me in the Immortal Nexus, he attained the [Wellspring Water] Dao Fruit!
If it were just that, it wouldn't count for much.
The problem is... I actually didn't remember the person Suo Huan beforehand!
"...What did you do?"
Under [Sky-Shrouding]'s astonished gaze, the corners of Lu Yang's mouth hooked up slightly. The cracks instantly spread to his cheeks, making his blood-stained smiling face appear even more ferocious.
Ultimately, it was his habit of keeping backup plans that saved his life at the most critical moment. Why didn't [Sky-Shrouding] think of Suo Huan when laying out the plan? The reason was simple—because Patriarch Nether Whisper, Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon, and Suo Huan, serving as his trump cards, had long been hidden away by him using methods.
[Driving Night]!
The effect of this profound wonder lay in "Hiding." It could blind heavenly secrets and conceal important items. Lu Yang had used this profound wonder to hide them all!
Coupled with the fact that the [Righteous Dao Banner] had been washed by [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes].
No karma, no cause, difficult to trace—this maximized the effect of [Driving Night], allowing him to successfully deceive [Sky-Shrouding]'s Dharma Eye!
And just now, it was Suo Huan who played a role.
The fundamental profound wonder of [Wellspring Water], [Shared Nourishment]!
This profound wonder was like the [Future Life Aspect]; as long as a mark was planted in advance, even if separated by hundreds of millions of li, it could siphon away injuries for Lu Yang out of thin air.
Besides, my three months in [Nourishing Life Master] weren't spent in vain. The Dao Fruits of the Patriarch and Master Vanquishing-Demon are special and don't have corresponding Dao Fruit books, but Fellow Daoist Suo Huan is different. [Wellspring Water] isn't some Supreme Dao Fruit; after I got it, I gave it to him to comprehend countless times long ago!
Thanks to this, Suo Huan's Dao comprehension had improved significantly.
Apart from that, [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao] didn't use his full strength either. If the sword he slashed had the stature of a Great Perfected Lord, I would also be dead.
But this was normal.
After all, there was still a [Sky-Shrouding] at the side, eyeing him covetously. [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao] inevitably had to save his killing move for the enemy he viewed as stronger.
Regardless, the result was out.
Under the influence of multiple factors, although Lu Yang was heavily injured and Suo Huan's Dharma Body had collapsed, nearly scattering his soul, he had survived after all.
And because he had undertaken too much damage...
At this moment, the [Tribulation Evil Profound Light] nurtured within the [Future Life Aspect] had also reached an unprecedented intensity, almost overflowing!
It's my turn to counterattack!
In the next second, Lu Yang's gaze looked around, skipping directly over [Sky-Shrouding]. As a Saint Sect Perfected Lord, grudges were never the main point.
[Sky-Shrouding] has already suffered a loss from the [Tribulation Evil Profound Light]. Although this strike is stronger than what he saw before, the effect might not be that high. More importantly, even if I injure him, apart from venting my anger, I won't get any benefits. It would be a loss outweighs the gain.
As for the Old Dragon Lord, it's even more meaningless.
Then there was only one answer.
With this thought, Lu Yang formed a hand seal. A speck of gloomy color emerged at his fingertip, growing in the wind, and instantly locked onto [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao]!
Instantly, [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao]'s expression changed slightly.
Because the effect of the [Tribulation Evil Profound Light] on him seemed surprisingly good, and it triggering the hidden dangers caused by slashing three swords consecutively to collect the Supreme Dao Fruit books!
And he couldn't block it!
The [Tribulation Evil Profound Light] locked onto the true body directly from karma—consequence first, cause later. To break it, the only way was for him to raise his stature again.
What should I do?
[Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao] fell into a dilemma, but quickly made a decision. Because he saw the actions of [Sky-Shrouding] and the Old Dragon Lord when he was in trouble.
One was a beast, the other was a true bastard. At this moment, not one cared about him or tried to support him. Instead, they all mustered their spiritual power to continue attacking Lu Yang. Under these circumstances, he couldn't count on anyone to help him resolve the [Tribulation Evil Profound Light]. He could only rely on himself; there was no other way.
BOOM!
In the next second, [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao]'s aura skyrocketed. He slashed another sword, the brilliant sword light instantly cutting the falling gloomy color in half.
However, that was all.
[Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao] immediately retracted his aura after slashing the [Tribulation Evil Profound Light], minimizing the injury caused by raising his stature.
But even so, he still spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Slashing four swords in succession... his originally ruddy face now revealed a deathly pallor. His figure swayed, and even his breath carried the smell of blood.
Lu Yang grinned upon seeing this.
As expected, these people aren't of one mind!
Even the Old Dragon Lord actually has a barrier with [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao]. So rather than protecting the other party, he wants to kill me more right now.
After all, [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao] still needs him, whereas I have forged a death feud with him because of this strike. He would rather offend [Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao] slightly to completely eliminate me and end future troubles forever... This old thing is heinously ruthless when he needs to be!
Amidst his thoughts, the attacks had already descended.
The Old Dragon Lord opened his bloody maw. The Dao Art [Heaven and Earth in Harmony—Forged Dragon Fangs] fell like a guillotine, intending to directly bite half of Lu Yang's body to pieces.
On the other side, [Sky-Shrouding] also acted again.
The terrifying [Knowledge-Perception Barrier] descended, intending to blind Lu Yang's consciousness and extinguish his will to resist.
[Dao Enlightenment and Self-Realization Immortal Method]!
[Holding Candle]!
Lu Yang formed a seal. A speck of bright light suddenly appeared above his sea of consciousness. Combined with the profound wonder of [Overturned Lamp Flame], it forcibly dispelled most of the influence of the [Knowledge-Perception Barrier].
However, even so, the operation of his consciousness was still slowed down.
This was [Sky-Shrouding]'s full strength!
It was already a Supreme Dao Fruit profound wonder, and it had been sublimated to the Supreme Domain by [Sky-Shrouding]. If it were an ordinary Perfected Lord here, they would have started drooling long ago!
In the next second, the dragon teeth bit down!
At this moment, the [Future Life Aspect] hadn't recovered yet, and [Wellspring Water] couldn't be borrowed because of Suo Huan's heavy injury. The shadow of death still hadn't moved far away.
A moment of life and death!
