The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 248 The Inverted Scale

On the other side, the destroying aura was obviously weakened by Wen Ying and little Blood Dragon’s dauntless resistance.

Following them were Xu Mubai, Fatty, and Yang Ying voluntarily, with an unyielding will gleaming in their eyes…

Lyu Liang could do nothing but watch his friends sacrificing themselves, making hopelessness and helplessness suffocate him.

“Ahhh…” Lyu Liang roared as his body surface suddenly began emitting red light. Grasping the net above him, Lyu Liang pulled it to both sides with all his strength.

With a cracking noise, the odd net was torn open a little. Before disappearing in the net, Lyu Liang heard Black shout, “All right!” Then, the crack on the net mended automatically behind him.

The next minute, Lyu Liang emerged outside the net with the stone egg levitating above his head.

With Lyu Liang’s movement, a palm print covering all the sky emerged and flew toward the explosion. Lyu Liang was single-handedly trying to stop the series of explosions that were totally out of control

On the other side, the rest of Lyu Liang’s friends on the transmission formation were sent to the entrance of the tunnel. Though Lyu Liang had blocked most of the shockwave for them, they were still sent flying along with the net wrapping them by the remaining shockwave.

Two explosions came to Lyu Liang’s ears after his friends disappeared in the tunnel, making his heart sink. In spite of the shaking space tunnel, he made several instantaneous flashes in an attempt to rush into the tunnel.

“Stop! The tunnel is going to collapse! Once it has collapsed after you enter it, you will either die or wander in the space whirlpool forever!” Feng Li secretly transmitted a voice to Lyu Liang, but it was in vain, for the latter had already disappeared into the tunnel before he could finish his words.

After rushing into the tunnel, Lyu Liang saw dozens of strangers in dark gold standing in front of him, measuring him with sinister eyes.

“Is this the boy we are going to kill as ordered? What an idiot! Doesn’t he know the tunnel could collapse at any moment and he is seeking his doom?” A seductively charming woman giggled and added with contempt in her eyes, “Those Mortal World trash were sent here and separated by the space turbulence, and we don’t know where they are. Do you want to go to accompany them or destroy yourself right now? Anyway, your Mortal World legend will be ended by our Infernal Purgatory.”

“Boy, there are 12 of us here,” a humpbacked old man at the woman’s side said, “except for the five of us with a mark on our robe, the rest are all Men of Sacrifice, just like whom you met just now. Now that we are here talking to you without worrying about the space channel being destroyed, we are able to save your life in the same way. Give that stone egg and the Yin Hell Token to us, and you can live on as a mortal after abandoning your cultivation and Divine Body. Okay?”

Obviously, the old man was the leader of the killers. Though some of his fellows seemed to have doubts about his proposal, no one dared to raise an objection.

Lyu Liang was now suffering from the disordered aura raging within his body caused by the boomeranging Divine Mark against himself. Besides, he was all scratched up by the explosion and his body was on the brink of collapse.

“In order to kill me… So you won’t let all my friends go?” Though speaking in this way, Lyu Liang suddenly calmed down, swept his eyes over the killers, and then said in a soft voice, “Infernal Purgatory? Which Immortal World are you from? Is it the Realm of Goddess Nyu Wa or related with the Skull Spirit Temple?”

Being surprised at Lyu Liang’s calmness, the old man replied with a smile, “Skull Spirit Temple? They are just a group of non-threatening clowns, while Infernal Purgatory is the most powerful killer organization in the Realm of Goddess Nyu Wa. Think about my suggestion since I’m trying to do you a favor. We won’t let you go before you make a decision. We can destroy the space channel at any moment, and there is no chance for you to escape.”

Instead of answering the old man’s question, Lyu Liang stared at the charming woman and asked with a weird power gleaming in his eyes, “Where are my friends that followed me into the entrance?”

“Stop looking at me! They were purely trash with no cultivation in the Tianluo Net, and two Men of Sacrifice were enough to kill them by the explosions. But we didn’t expected that one of them had the Space-Tearing blade, a spatial treasure, and he dared to risk the magic treasure’s life to blast through the Men of Sacrifice before their self-detonation! What a pity that the self-detonation of Infernal Purgatory Men of Sacrifice finally sent them into the space gaps. Even if they could protect themselves temporarily, they will wander in the space forever, which is even worse than death.” The women seemed to be unsatisfied with Lyu Liang’s calmness and began provoking him with words.

“I see.” Lyu Liang even didn’t change his facial expression in the conversation, but his following words astonished everyone present. “Let me die with you! If I’m lucky enough to survive, I’ll go to the Realm of Goddess Nyu Wa and wipe the Infernal Purgatory out of the whole universe.”

……

At the same time, in the Virtual Land, Little Sword asked the other divine beasts with a serious look on his face, “Is the boy out of his mind? Isn’t he afraid of wandering in the space whirlpool all his life? Brother, have you cultivated any other time- or space-related unique skills in recent years?”

“What? New unique skills? That’s impossible because we Divine Beasts of Chaos are born with predetermined skills, and there is no possibility for us to advance them. That boy knows my skill well, and with my time-space skill, he can even move freely in the space. However, he is still unable to reverse time and space until he reaches the level above God Ancestor.” White gave a yawn and looked at Little Sword half-heartedly.

Noticing that Black was nodding in agreement with White, Little Sword couldn’t help sighing. “I’ve been regarding Evil Moon as a rare loony, and I didn’t expect that the stupid boy should be more stubborn and crazy than Evil Moon.”

Black replied in a soft voice, “Follow him for a long time and you will find that he is not just a seemingly gentle and even stupid boy, especially when someone breaks into his inner forbidden zone. Though I don’t know what he can do now, I’m sure that he will kill all those killers from Infernal Purgatory.”

Swallowing Spirit emerged from nowhere and added, “In fact, everyone has their own inner forbidden zone, and they won’t let it be invaded by others. Those short-sighted guys are exactly challenging Lyu Liang’s bottom line, or inverted scale in other words.”

……

Yin-Hell Qi burst out without any sign. In the roar of a dragon, several ghost soldiers with surging aura emerged along with a rotten dragon, who was giving out breathtaking Death Qi.

“You… Are you mad? You dare to activate the Ominous Darkness Soul Kill Array here? Brother, let’s go! The boy has gone into hysterics!” The charming woman was stunned for a while before escaping in surprise and anger. “Now that you are longing for death,” she shouted, “I’ll send these Men of Sacrifice to play with you.”

However, she heard the old man’s screaming before she could take any action. “Space Prison! How come the boy can make use of such a high-level Power of Law? We must make it quicker! Have your Men of Sacrifice come to help us!”

“Who sent you here?” Lyu Liang asked in a soft yet determined voice as he flashed to the old man’s side. Golden soul spirit was spouting from above Lyu Liang’s head, indicating that he had again activated the Divine Mark.

“Yong man, we are from Infernal Purgatory and we won’t betray… What? Spirit Swallowing Bug? Self-detonate, hurry up!” The old man had intended to say something but was immediately taken aback by Lyu Liang’s six Spirit Swallowing Bugs. Waving his hand in desperation, the old man ordered several Men of Sacrifice to rush at Lyu Liang!

However, all these Men of Sacrifice were separated from Lyu Liang by his Ghost Soldiers before their self-detonation. While on the other side, the rotten dragon began showing its sharp teeth.

“You madman! Ahhhhh, my cultivation! Please don’t…” The charming woman only had time to scream before being torn up by the dragon.

All these members of Infernal Purgatory were originally powerful figures at the Supreme Master level, and the five with marks on their robe were even at the Peak of Supreme Master level.

However, their cultivation was weakened quickly in the fourth-level Ominous Darkness Soul Kill Array, except for the old man, who had maintained his cultivation at the Early-stage of Heavenly Master level with some treasures. While the others were merely at the Early-stage of Almighty Immortal level now.

“Boy! You can’t kill all of us! Let me go and I’ll…” The old man shouted desperately. Though the advantage had lain with him just now, he was now at Lyu Liang’s mercy.

“I don’t care. You are unable to bring them back to life anyway,” Lyu Liang said calmly and gave him a punch with his glittering fist.

By instinct, the old man summoned a shield made of gold of the best quality, which was immediately smashed up by Lyu Liang. Then the old man himself was sent flying by Lyu Liang’s indestructible fist.

Before he landed, he felt someone grab his collar and heard a frightening voice. “Destroy his cultivation,” Lyu Liang said, “I’ll make a Soul-Searching.”

Having taken Lyu Liang’s order, two Spirit Swallowing Bugs burrowed into the old man’s body in an instant. However, Lyu Liang’s chest was penetrated through by a golden spear at the same time.

Holding the spear in his hands and clenching his teeth, the old man said in a wobbly voice, “It’s an immortal-killing spear and can even break your Divine Body. Let me go and I’ll give it to you, after which you can go back to the origin world. Make the bugs leave my body!”

Without hesitation, Lyu Liang raised the other glittering fist and smashed the old man’s face directly.

According to the divine spear that could damage Lyu Liang’s Divine Body and the old man’s ability to resist the Spirit Swallowing Bugs, he had to be one of the core members in Infernal Purgatory.

While the old man wanted Lyu Liang to beat a retreat in the face of difficulties, Lyu Liang regarded it as a perfect opportunity to learn more about Infernal Purgatory. Having been dying to destroy Infernal Purgatory and avenge his friends, Lyu Laing had never thought about how to go on living…

In order to get more information, Lyu Liang didn’t attack the old man with full strength, or else his first punch would have already destroyed both the old man’s body and Divine Soul.

Now with half of his strength, Lyu Liang brought the old man’s Divine Soul to the verge of collapse, keeping him alive yet unable to resist the Spirit Swallowing Bugs.

As expected, the old man screamed miserably as his aura was weakened at full speed. Taking this opportunity, Lyu Liang started a thorough Soul-Searching.

At the same time, the rotten dragon ate up all the remaining members of Infernal Purgatory, except for those who had made self-detonation at the beginning.

The shockwave made by the self-detonation became the last straw. Having thoroughly lost its supporting force, the space tunnel began collapsing, with large space gaps emerging and countless space turbulence surging.

On the other side, Lyu Liang maintained the posture of Soul-Searching until he was swallowed by a space gap nearby.
