The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 252: Absolute Trust

Early the next day, Hu Linger personally came to Lyu Liang’s cave residence, and invited him to the meeting hall.

This time, when Lyu Liang met the three leaders of the Fox and Wolf Clan, he could clearly feel a sense of awe in them, that they had never shown before.

“In the Nether Big World, my main purpose is to go to the mining area in the northern part. I don’t know if there is a way to reach there. In addition, do you know whether there are other aliens who have the same purpose as me, here?” After pondering for one night, Lyu Liang had made his plan for his next move.

As for those fellows who had been plotted against by the Infernal Purgatory, Lyu Liang didn’t know how many of them would fall into this realm. So his plan to go to the Dead Mining Area had, at this moment, was changed into looking for those people instead.

“Four years ago, there seemed to be a few frantic fighting auras from the direction of the Icy Peak. I don’t know whether it has something to do with the aliens that you mentioned. The road to the Dead Mining Area in the north, lie also inside the Icy Peak sect and the Burning Ridge sect.” After he pondered for a while, Hu Wu continued, “It is said that inside these two sects, there are hidden passages to the inner area. As for the east and west sides of the Bloody Zone, they are basically dead places, that are impossible to cross.”

When he heard this, Lyu Liang pondered for a while and then nodded. It seemed that he had no choice, but to go to the Icy Peak!

Hu Wu seemed to understand Lyu Liang’s intention, so he added: “If you want to enter the Icy Peak, you had better give up the idea now. All the disciples of the powerful sects have the special mark of the Nether Big World, inside their bodies. Even if you have the power to change the world, you can’t copy this special mark.”

“This… ” Lyu Liang was stunned, because he was really figuring out how to enter the Icy Peak. Anyway, he had Black. Therefore, he still had a chance to sneak in, so long as he could avoid those Tao Ancestors.

Seeing Lyu Liang’s awkward look, Lang Lie smiled: “Taoism peer, don’t worry. You are so lucky to have a chance to enter the Icy Peak aboveboard now! But whether you can succeed depends on your ability!”

“One year later, the Icy Peak and the Burning Ridge will take in new disciples from the outside world. Besides those from the Nether Big World, there are also powerful figures from other worlds, that will be enrolled. If you can meet the standards for the talent-selection of those worlds, it will be much easier for you to be enrolled!” The words of Hu Linger greatly comforted Lyu Liang, whose eyebrows were again furrowed.

“Do you know what are the specific standards?” Lyu Liang asked the three heads of the Fox and Wolf Clan. Lyu Liang was decisive, so he immediately made up his mind to do it.

“The standards will change each year, but no one has ever been eliminated from the knockout test! I believe you still have a great chance to be enrolled, so long as you can reveal your outstanding power!” Hu Wu answered him softly, as if it would not be difficult for Lyu Liang.

After a while, Lyu Liang returned to his cave residence. Hardly had he had time to think about how to prepare for the test of entering the Icy Peak one year later, when the figure of White suddenly appeared, and asked him a question, which startled him greatly. “Kid, I do hide a lot of things from you, but at this point, I still can’t reveal it to you! So, do you still trust me?”

The moment when White asked him this, all the divine beasts were startled too. However, they had hardly time to utter anything, when Lyu Liang said very resolutely and calmly, “I have absolute trust in senior White and the other senior divine beasts, for all my life!” After saying that, he made a deep bow.

After a moment of silence, White heaved a sigh, which was filled with comfort, affection and some melancholia, “Silly boy, mind you, you should not trust anybody, except yourself!”

“Senior White is worthy of my trust! Golden, Black, Old Xuan, Little Tian, Little Sword, Ape and senior Swallowing Spirit, whom I have just met, they are all worthy of my trust!” Although Lyu Liang’s voice was flat, it somehow revealed a sense of resoluteness and excitement.

“Okay, very good! I did not misread you! Now, I will bring you somewhere to get an opportunity. If you get it, you will benefit greatly from it in the future!” Light burst forth from White’s eyes, as if he had come to a decision about something. The lazy temperament in him dissipated, and the white fluff over his body began to shine!

“Thank you, senior White!” Lyu Liang was also stimulated by White’s words. What’s more, when he heard he could get an opportunity, he could not wait to go, being in no mood to ask about the details.

White nodded, and then a golden feather floated in the air, and came to Lyu Liang, “Hold it, and then drop a drop of your blood on it. I can only wish you good luck now!”

Lyu Liang was resolute too. He dropped his blood on the feather, and then a golden aperture floated out from the white feather, which engulfed Lyu Liang. Lyu Liang disappeared on the spot.

………………………………

“Sure enough, and I have to depend on myself again?” After Lyu Liang regained his consciousness, he was already in a thick fog, and then he felt the familiar sense of losing something.

Luckily, this time only the divine beasts and the Spirit Swallowing Bug disappeared, and added to that, his Divine Sense was limited. The Cultivation Methods of cultivation, including flying, were not restricted at all.

When Lyu Liang was wondering where he was, an empty voice gradually sounded, “Somebody has entered the Lingwu Seven Star Array! The mode of testing has been activated!”

In the wake of this voice, Lyu Liang’s surroundings shook slightly, and following that, there suddenly appeared numerous yellow light spots in the thick fog, which twinkled randomly. At the same time, several giant figures appeared.

“Lingwu armor! Seven! Interesting!” Light emerged from Lyu Liang’s eyes as he murmured to himself, “If this is the so called opportunity is to defeat you guys, then I really welcome this opportunity!”

When Lyu Liang was attacked by these Lingwu armors previously, he became extremely interested in this kind of thing, which was similar to the puppet. At this point, it was a good chance for him to find out more about the armors.

However, hardly had he rushed toward one of them, when the empty voice resounded, “The intruder has outstanding skills, so the most powerful mode of attack has been activated! The first combination, begins!”

Following the voice, the originally scattered seven Wuling armors gathered in an instant, and then a burst of golden light emerged, and the thick fog in the surroundings gradually became thinner.

Following a cracking sound, all the golden light disappeared. When Lyu Liang saw clearly what was inside, he was totally stupefied.

Originally they were all Lingwu armors towering over ten meters height, but at this point they directly combined into a battle fortress of fifteen meters in width and over thirty meters in height! It was actually a scaled-down version of the Heaven Prestige Fortress in the previous civilization remains!

Although there was no aura on the surface of this fortress, yet one could see numerous gun muzzles shining faintly with a golden light, over the surface, which made Lyu Liang scared!

But obviously this was not the right time for him to lament and feel sad, because the fortress initiated the attack. It was firing shots here and there, randomly!

Lyu Liang did not rush to counterattack. He wanted to observe the opponent’s attack mode first, and at the same time, find out the geographical features of the surroundings.

Thirty minutes later, Lyu Liang gradually gained confidence.

First, for the attack from the fortress, though it was fierce, it was not skillful. Relying on the Devil Thunder Wing and part of the Kun Peng Skill, Lyu Liang could easily elude the attack, even without the aid of White’s instantaneous flash.

Then there was the range of activity around, which was determined by the location of the fog. Anyway, as long as the fog was there, it was impossible for anybody to move further.

Once Lyu Liang had the confidence, he would naturally fight back!

He flexibly dodged the random shots of the golden light. And then he seized an opportunity and drew out his Kunwu Sword, and smashed one of the muzzles of the fortress. With a muffled sound, the stream of the golden light that was threatening Lyu Liang, disappeared…

But later, the speed of emission and the size of the golden light shot by the remaining muzzles were lifted by one level!

Lyu Liang, however, chuckled and continued to weave through the shots.

After one and half an hour, Lyu Liang’s relaxed expression disappeared, but the light in his eyes became brighter!

Even he himself did not notice that in such a concentration, a very subtle purple golden Spiritual Qi had been immersed in his body. What followed was the qualitative change of the Divine Body’s skill from the roots…

…………………………

At the same time that Lyu Liang was receiving this inexplicable opportunity, far away in a batch of mysterious yellow sand in the chaotic space, three people wearing different attires, were gathered around a golden sphere that gradually began to dim, with different expressions. But a tinge of sorrow flashed in all their eyes, with no exception.

These three people were part of the Seven Luminaries Emperors.

Great Emperor Earth, who was dressed in a blue attire, revealed a deep hatred in his eyes.

Great Emperor Moon was in a silver robe. There was indeed sadness in his eyes, yet more feelings of comfort and understanding could be seen.

Great Emperor Gold was in a golden robe, and he looked unwell. There was a sheen of complexity in his eyes.

“I can’t bear that big brother’s orc heritage was dissipated in such a way! This is inconsistent with the plan set that year! Even if I can’t go to the mortal world, I can’t let it go!” Great Emperor Earth gnashed his teeth and said these words, his eyes flashing with a bright red light. And then he turned back and disappeared.

Great Emperor Moon, who was in meditation, sighed deeply to the sky, and then chased after Earth in the direction he had disappeared.

At this moment, Great Emperor Water, who was dressed in yellow, appeared. Judging from his face, he was actually the same guy who had sold the Tianxuan Holy Rattan to Lyu Liang, in the market place of the Vine Country in the Green-City Region.

“I know what Moon wanted to say by chasing after him, but he can’t persuade Earth. But as for you, his biological brother, what position do you take? Perhaps the only one, with the exception of Sun, who can persuade Earth, is you!” Great Emperor Gold raised his head and looked at the new-comer, who was smiling.

Great Emperor Water shook his head and said: “I did not expect that Sun had made such a crazy decision. Although I do not object to his approach, I will not persuade Earth. First, Earth has deep affection for Sun. Even if Sun comes to persuade him in person, he will not succeed. Second, I have a wait-and-see attitude toward this matter.”

Great Emperor Gold smiled bitterly, and then looked around again. He murmured to himself: “Where is Fire? Is he also… ”

………………………………

At the same time, inside the Sage-killing Hall of the Infernal Purgatory in the Goddess Nyu Wa space, a skinny old man was sitting opposite a masked man in a red robe, enjoying his tea.

“Is this what you are trying to find out, even at the risk of injuring your Divine Soul? I always thought that you are the most savvy person among the Seven Luminaries Emperors, but how can you make such an emotional decision?” The old man smiled slightly, with curiosity in his murky eyes.

“You don’t understand what Sun means to the seven of us!” Without him, there will be no us now! If it were not for the Ancient Oath, Earth and I would already have been killed in the Mortal World! I don’t want to waste time. I will tell you the price, and please tell me whether you can do it or not!” Great Emperor Fire had a gentle tone, yet it revealed a strong determination.

The old man put down the teacup and nodded, “Previously, we did not understand him and thus suffered a great loss. We became a big joke and lost a goddess and two special treasures. Originally, I did not want to promise you. But, coincidentally, there is another guy from the Kong Family, who is very interested in the life of that kid, and the rewards are also attractive. Now if I include yours, how can I refuse it!”

Hearing his words, Great Emperor Fire stood up and said softly, “Then it is a done deal! But I have one more requirement. When you kill him, you must use the Hunyuan God-sealing Streamer. Even if there is only one remnant soul left, you must meet this requirement. If you can’t do this… you know the result!” After that, Fire disappeared without even turning his head.

“Master, pardon me for asking you this question! The request of Fire is completely in conflict with the requirements of the other two. Why are you… ” A silver-haired, handsome young man in a black robe appeared, showing deep confusion in his eyes.

Looking at the young man, the old man gave him a rare, affectionate smile.. He smilingly answered, “Little wolf, your abilities are already comparable to the eight Immortal Generals. But when it comes to intelligence, the guy from the Liu Family is much smarter than you! You know, since the last time we failed to kill Lyu Liang, I have never thought about killing him again.”

“Ah? Then, why did you still promise them?! Except for that woman’s commission, the Kong Family and the Seven Luminaries Emperors can’t be slighted over, by a mere excuse!” Obviously the young man was startled by his words.

“The Skull Spirit Temple also failed the last time, but do you see them planning to do it again? I, too, noticed what that guy can see. We are crazy, but not stupid! Little wolf, go and prepare yourself. It’s time to go to the east of the Sanctuary!” The old man got up and moved.

“East?” Isn’t that the place of the Wu-Ji Five Lords? Master, you are… ” The brain of the young man seemed completely useless at this point.

“Go! In this sinister world of cultivation, where the strong always eats the weak, you can’t live long, just by using your strength!” The old man waved his hand. Although the young man was full of doubts, he still respectfully bowed to the old man, and then disappeared.

Seeing that the aura of the young man had totally disappeared, the old man had a glimmer of relief in his eyes, which was accompanied by a tinge of sorrow. He murmured to himself, as he lowered his head, “I will bear the bad reputation and the felony committed by the Infernal Purgatory alone… “
