Chapter 331
331 All my spoils of war!
Two hours later, the strength of li Shiwen’s breakthrough platform’s defense array had dropped to about 20% of its original strength.
Victory was at hand.
Li yunzhe’s living corpse immediately made other movements.
This seemed to be the logic engraved in the restriction that controlled his movements. After the strength of the defensive formation dropped to a certain level, it would change the battle strategy of the corpse puppet.
It was obvious that The Living Corpse of the ancient Emperor was no longer able to stop Lu Qing and Bai Nantian’s attacks on the formation on the platform. Therefore, it turned around and charged toward Lu Qing without a care. It wanted to attack Lu Qing’s main body to solve the problem of the defensive array being attacked.
However, the Tao Wu’s repeated charges were all sent flying back by Lu Qing.
It was not as if The Living Corpse had never tried to attack Lu Qing and Bai Nantian directly. Other than the fact that the two of them were not prepared for the might of the man’s fist energy and his fighting style, which caused them to suffer some losses, The Living Corpse did not pose any real threat to them anymore. Lu Qing’s attack was too simple. Most importantly, Lu Qing had a way to counter it. The Living Corpse could not do anything to them.
If he threw a punch from a distance, he would block it or dodge it. Once he had the thought of getting close, Lu Qing would use all sorts of methods to find a way to blast it away. He would not give him the chance to get close.
However, when the strength of the entire platform’s defensive formation dropped to only 10% of its original strength and was about to be broken, a change occurred.
The Living Corpse suddenly stopped moving.
Lu Qing immediately realized that the power in its body seemed to have undergone some kind of mutation. The physical body that only belonged to the Dharma plane, the gray flesh and blood, began to expand. Every inch of the ancient power sealed within it was wildly absorbing the spiritual Qi in the environment.
In an instant, its entire body grew to three to four times its original size!
This expansion was not proportional, but like an inflated balloon, it became swollen!
Lu Qing immediately reacted,’this living corpse is going to self-destruct under the restriction!’
The body of a Dharma adept was completely disintegrated. How powerful would the power released be?
He thought about how he and Bai Nantian had joined forces to attack The Living Corpse continuously but they were unable to cause any fatal injuries. If he were to unleash all of his strength, he could use it to explode and attack Lao Ai in a cracking manner.
Just thinking about it made one feel that the consequences would be extremely terrifying!
This should be the last resort that li Shiwen had left behind.
Under the protection of the living corpses, the strength of the defensive formation was reduced to only ten percent. Didn’t this mean that the living corpses had no way to stop the formation from being broken? At this moment, self-destruction was naturally the final resort. He wanted to try this method to see if he could eliminate the enemies who would invade.
Many thoughts flashed through Lu Qing’s mind. However, he was only thinking about one thing in the end. Should he run or stay?
If he wanted to run, he would activate the training mode and teleport away. Now, even The Living Corpse couldn’t stop him. If they fly far away outside the city, can they still blow me up?
However, if Wan Wan were to run away, Bai Nantian would definitely die.
Lu Qing did not form any friendship with the young man in such a short period of time. That was not true. If he died, Lu Qing would not feel the slightest bit of unhappiness emotionally. At most, he would feel that it was a pity for a rather talented person to die. However, this talented person was not from his clan. Thus, it did not matter much.
However, Lu Qing had saved this fellow’s life previously. Moreover, from the attitude that this young man had displayed along the way, it seemed that he was very close to him.
In the future, the Lu family’s power would definitely expand to the South, and their contact with Yunxiao sect would become more and more frequent. In the sect, it seemed to be a good thing to have a nascent Soul Stage senior who had a good relationship with the Lu family.
Nascent soul cultivators were extremely rare in Yunxiao sect and could definitely be considered as high-level. Furthermore, Bai Nantian was rather talented and was still young. In the future, his position in Yunxiao sect would obviously become more and more important.
If Bai Nantian were to die, Lu Qing would not be able to see any other benefits for the time being apart from weakening Yunxiao sect. Yunxiao sect was a huge sect. Even without Bai Nantian, they still had six nascent soul cultivators. In addition, they had Grandmaster Weiyun, who was a Dharma idol, so their overall strength would not be fatally affected.
If he could save Bai Nantian’s life, it would be good.
The remaining question was, could he be saved?
Lu Qing decided to give it a try.
All these thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Lu Qing made his decision very quickly. He immediately put his decision into action.
All of his true Yuan surged crazily and transformed into the unique characteristic of the ‘Book of Fate’. The divine-grade defensive spell, the heavensguard fate spell, was activated at full force. The wooden armor on the wooden Dragon and Lu Qing became even more secure.
At the same time, one of the wood dragon’s claws extended outwards and pulled Bai Nantian who was dumbfounded and was about to run away into the wooden Dragon.
Bai Nantian instinctively wanted to struggle but he quickly regained his senses.
The power of a Dharma stage Zombie’s self-destruction was not something that could be escaped by pure running.
In the previous battle, he had also witnessed the defensive power of Lu Qing’s wooden armor. Hiding inside was much more reliable than finding a way to escape.
After pulling Bai Nantian into the dragon soul’s body, it was equivalent to sharing the defense of the Heavensward fate spell with him.
Lu Qing also activated the dark blue scepter in his hand, conjuring three water dragons that were equivalent to a full-force attack from someone of his level. In fact, this was almost the limit of the dark blue scepter. The maximum strength that this Saint Artifact Relic could display might only be at the middle level of the nascent soul realm.
In the previous battles, Lu Qing had tried to use this scepter in battle, but the effects were very ordinary. The main purpose of taking it out now was not to hurt or stop The Living Corpse’s explosion, but to try to use the powerful impact of the water-element spell technique to push The Living Corpse further away from the explosion.
It was obvious that the closer one was to the center of the explosion, the stronger the damage would be. By pushing it further away, he could reduce the intensity of the explosion.
At the same time, Lu Qing made his final preparation. He called out the system interface and turned on the experience mode.
As long as the subsequent explosion was more powerful than he had expected, he would not be buried here with Bai Nantian.
In the next moment, an explosion came.
Lu Qing suddenly felt that his entire body was rolling.
It was obvious that even the wood Dragon with its huge body couldn’t withstand such a strong impact. It was blown back by the violent explosion.
The Dragon Soul and Lu Qing’s divine soul were connected to each other. He could feel that the Dragon Soul was severely damaged in that instant. The entire dragon head had been blown off.
However, the entire Dragon Soul was coiled up. Lu Qing and Bai Nantian were right in the middle of the Dragon soul’s coiled body. The dragon’s head and several layers of its body were blown apart. The powerful impact also passed through the Dragon soul’s body and affected Lu Bai and Nangong wuque who were in the middle.
The powerful shock wave made Lu Qing feel a little uncomfortable. At the same time, as the Dragon Soul suffered a heavy blow, Lu Qing also felt that his true origin was being drained away and consumed like a flood.
This kind of consumption could not even be replenished by relying on ‘star divine power’.
However, Tao Wu’s level was still within his tolerance. The true essence in his body was quickly consumed, and it stopped just outside the warning line.
After all, his body was also protected by a layer of wooden armor. This was the Heaven’s Fate preservation spell that was used on his body.
Lu Qing heaved a long sigh of relief.
The defensive strength of a divine-grade cultivation technique was still believable. Furthermore, Lu Qing was not using an ordinary divine-grade cultivation technique. The original version of the heavensguard Life spell was a divine-grade spell. The attributes of the Holy white sword manual were not particularly helpful in increasing the defensive power. However, the star power attribute was relatively more balanced, which further strengthened the defensive power of the heavensguard Life spell.
In addition, the strength of Lu Qing’s own vital essence far exceeded that of other nascent soul realm cultivators at the same level.
In the end, the Water Dragon pushed The Living Corpse away, which could not be ignored. Without this, the power of the explosion could probably be increased by a few levels.
If that was the case, Lu Qing might really be forced to teleport away.
I’ve finally passed this tribulation, hehe.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Lu Qing started to pay attention to his own condition.
There was no need to worry about the Dragon Soul being destroyed. In essence, the Dragon Soul did not have a physical body. In a sense, it was his accompanying magical treasure. The Dragon Soul Jade was still with him. This thing was not destroyed, so re-cultivating the Dragon Soul was nothing more than a matter of spending some time and some true essence. There was plenty of work to do later.
However, it was something that was connected to his soul after all. The destruction of his Dragon Soul still gave him a headache. His soul should have been damaged.
But it was not a big problem. He had the ‘Book of Fate’, and he could recover on his own.
Lu Qing had never been worried about getting injured ever since he obtained this technique. Unless he was killed in one move, he would be able to recover from any serious injury and would not have to worry about his Foundation being damaged.
If it really didn’t work, he still had the system as his last resort. The ‘healing’ exchange option that had been refreshed could always be used to recover his injuries if he found a high-level one.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his condition, Lu Qing began to pay attention to Bai Nantian, who he had pulled into the protection range of the wood Dragon.
This kid was in a much worse state than Lu Qing.
Although he was under the protection of the wood Dragon, Lu Qing still had the Heaven’s Fate preservation spell on him. On the other hand, although Bai Nantian had a defensive magical equipment, how could his defensive power be compared to a divine-grade cultivation technique?
Lu Qing could sense that the young fellow’s defensive magical equipment had been completely destroyed in the previous wave.
It was a bit of a pity for a fifth-ranked magic tool like the Kasaya.
However, the destruction of this fifth-ranked Mystic artifact was still valuable. Bai Nantian was already unconscious due to his severe injuries and his vital signs were rather weak. If he was left alone, he might really die Here.
However, with Lu Qing by his side, these things were not too troublesome.
Lu Qing squeezed out a portion of his vital essence and converted it into the vital essence of the creation book. He turned it into a stream of life force and transferred it into Bai Nantian’s body.
The life force that was converted from the quintessential essence would be able to maintain Bai Nantian’s physical condition and prevent his injuries from worsening.
Of course, he would not wake up too quickly.
On the one hand, it would take a lot of effort to heal his injuries quickly. However, in the explosion just now, Lu Qing had given it his all to maintain the strong defensive ability of the heaven guarding life technique. The true essence in his body was like a dried up pond. Although there was star divine power that was constantly connected to the sky and transmitted star power into his body to replenish his consumption, it would still take a lot of time to recover. Lu Qing did not have the strength to care about Bai Nantian.
On the other hand, Lu Qing did not want to wake the kid up now.
It would be best if no one saw what happened next.
He casually summoned an Ordinary Level three magic tool. It was a flag. It could be considered one of Lu Qing’s collections, and it had no value other than being good-looking. However, it could now be used to support Bai Nantian’s body.
As for Lu Qing himself, he looked at the spot where The Living Corpse had been and the breakthrough platform behind The Living Corpse.
The Living Corpse was, of course, nowhere to be seen. However, the platform and the defensive array were still there.
Lu Qing was a little surprised. He had activated the Heaven’s Fate preservation spell with all his might, and his defense was off the charts. However, even so, the wooden Dragon had been completely destroyed. Although the defense platform had a high defense, it was only 10% of its original strength. How could it still be there?
However, after thinking about it, he roughly knew why. Li Shiwen didn’t leave the last resort of self-destruction on his ancestor’s puppet to kill himself. There must be some method to divert the energy so that when the corpse puppet exploded, it wouldn’t affect the platform behind it.
Unfortunately, the explosion didn’t kill me.
Lu Qing’s gaze landed on li Shiwen, who was dressed in the emperor’s uniform. He smiled and said, ”
“Now, it’s your turn to die.”
……
After resting for a while, Lu Qing felt that he had recovered most of his strength.
Although the Dragon Soul could not be constructed again in a short period of time, and his combat strength had more or less declined, it would not affect his main body’s combat strength.
When he was almost fully recovered, Lu Qing continued to destroy the defensive formation.
The formation, which only had 10% of its original strength left, could no longer block Lu Qing.
Just as the formation was about to be destroyed, a voice came from the platform, ”
“If you help me break through and don’t stop me, I’ll agree to any of your conditions. This is a soul oath, and I will not go back on it!”
Lu Qing was amused. So this was li Shiwen’s last resort.
But unfortunately, I don’t buy it!
With the golden-white holy sword in his hand, Lu Qing gathered his strength and used ‘heaven splitter’. He then slashed it at li Shiwen, who was breaking through with his eyes closed.
As the sword was about to hit him, li Shiwen suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with sorrow and unwillingness.
A powerful force burst out of his body and blocked the ‘heaven splitter’.
A top-tier expert at the peak of the nascent Soul Stage, who was only one step away from the materialization realm, blocked Lu Qing’s sword with ease.
However, Lu Qing did not panic at all. He just looked at li Shiwen coldly.
The path of cultivation was filled with danger. And the moment of breakthrough was obviously the most dangerous time.
When a cultivator broke through, even if no one interfered, there was still a possibility of failure, and the price of failure was so heavy.
Right now, li Shiwen, who was in the midst of breaking through to the materialization realm, had no choice but to forcefully break away from his breakthrough state when he felt a fatal threat. He used his power to block Lu Qing’s sword attack. He had succeeded, but the true essence that was in the middle of a breakthrough would inevitably go out of control.
Of course, li Shiwen himself knew this.
He did not give up. He tried his best to control the power that had gone out of control in his body. His eyes were fixed on Lu Qing.
aren’t you a Xuanji person who disdains Yunxiao sect? why are you disdainful? why? ”
Lu Qing sighed faintly. this is not a personal grudge. he said.
Lu Qing could not bear to see the other party’s indignant expression. He felt a little disappointed.
Li Shiwen, the Emperor of Great Yan, the master of hundreds of millions of subjects in name, had been cultivating for more than seven hundred years. Just as he was about to break through to a higher realm, he was interrupted by her.
“If you have any last words, you can say them. I can help you if you don’t go overboard.”
After he finished speaking, Lu Qing felt touched. I’m really a good person.
Li Shiwen struggled. He wanted to stand up, but he fell down again. He was half-crawling on the ground. The corners of his mouth twitched as if he was really going to say his last words. However, he didn’t say them until he stopped breathing.
“Uh, Yingluo, then I’ll take it that you left without any regrets.”
After confirming that li Shiwen was completely dead and that it was impossible for him to get up again, Lu Qing knew that the biggest obstacle in this matter had been overcome.
He looked at the many items on the platform, and his previous feelings had long been thrown away.
These were treasures that li Shiwen, with the power of the Imperial court, had spent countless years collecting from all over the country and even from all over the world. The total value was probably twenty to thirty million spirit stones! If the 100 pieces of divine lightning wood were to fall into the hands of the Lu family, they would be able to benefit many of the Lu family’s lightning-attribute cultivators!
Lu Qing would not let go of such a huge amount of wealth!
He took out a few empty storage bags and activated his true essence. He swept up the items from the platform one by one and stuffed them into the storage bags.
Among them, there were some things that he didn’t recognize, but no matter what they were, they were all his spoils of war!
However-in the process of stuffing them, Lu Qing also discovered a problem. F-ck, the spirituality of many of the treasures that li Shiwen had used to break through had been depleted during the process of his breakthrough in the past six months.
For example, those one hundred pieces of sky Thunder divine wood all had different degrees of wear and tear. Some of them had already become completely useless!
He was depressed for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.
After all, there were still some that could be used. When he was free, he would plan it out bit by bit.
