Chapter 696 - The Trump Card, Saving Gu Yuan
Chapter 696: The Trump Card, Saving Gu Yuan
As soon as the aura appeared, everyone felt their hearts beating wildly. Even the Wisdom Elites’ hair was standing up on end. Black Guardian and White Guardian shouted anxiously at the same time, “No, she must be getting ready to cast a killer move. Stop her!”
All eyes immediately turned toward Shi Tuqin. Their spells blitzed toward her like shooting stars while the eight Wisdom Elites shot toward her with their all-mighty mana raging. Their goal was not to take her out but to stop her from casting her spell.
Qin Manyun kept playing her Guqin and the sound waves were like a waterfall pouring down from the sky, turning into an ocean and immersing everyone in it. The Wisdom of the Guqin manifested itself, like the Milky Way falling for nine days, transforming into a barrier. Yes, it was the sound of nature from the peerless music score—High Mountains and Flowing Water.
Dragin also took flight into the air and a domineering aura erupted from her body. At that time, she looked like a giant descending from Heaven with enough power to suppress all the worlds and rip apart the Chaos.
“Return to Source, Demon Devouring!” A majestic voice was heard, shaking the entire Chaos, evoking the power of devour, and distorting space and time. Nanan disappeared into a void and transformed into an endless black hole, sucking everything in.
All the enemies’ spells were thrown into chaos as they were sucked in by the black hole which Nanan then turned into her own power.
“Endless Water, Earth Deluge!” Dragin had rushed over with her ladle waving in the air. The mighty waters turned into endless seas. It was both a defense and attack move as it flooded her enemies.
“They’re so strong!”
“What’s going on in the seventh dimension? Don’t they have a normal Wisdom Elite? What exactly is their cultivation?”
“Hold on a second. It seems like the Guqin and the brush are all Wisdom Ultimate Treasures, too!”
“Sh*t! I have a bad feeling that a big conspiracy’s hidden in the seventh dimension.”
Everyone was shocked by Nanan and the other two’s performances. It gave them a lot of anxiety. The difference in power between the Wisdom Elites was obvious. At this level, each little increment would bring about unimaginable strength. Based on what they had seen so far, Nanan and the other two’s combat powers were definitely more powerful than the two Guardians. Moreover, they had in their possession Wisdom Ultimate Treasures and seemed to be cultivating under the mentorship of some expert.
“They must have great fortune behind them to become this strong! My guess is that this great fortune would make them even more harmonious with Wisdom and in turn, speed up their cultivation,” said Black Guardian, giving one possibility. His eyes were slightly bloodshot as he thought about the great fortune.
White Guardian had guessed as much. “Give it all you’ve got! These three are no match for the eight of us combined!” Then, he pointed at Nanan and the others. “Wisdom Chaos!”
“Earth-shattering Spear!”
“Sky Devouring Divine Fire!”
The ultimate spells of the eight Wisdom Elites caused the Chaos to explode as infinite Power of Wisdom swirled erratically around the void. This area of the Chaos had become like the Chaos Ocean. Even the Wisdom Elites had to tread cautiously.
The terrifying ultimate spells were like an inextinguishable flame as they radiated infinite power. Dragin’s seas shook with magical powers as they turned into a tsunami and were gradually annihilated. Nanan’s phantom black hole was trembling and it had already reached its limit. There was sweat covering Qin Manyun’s forehead, and the sound of the Guqin was fading as it seemed to be gradually suppressed. Only Shi Tuqin remained calm.
Her closed eyes opened gradually and there was a bright galaxy breaking through the Chaos as the pen in her hand moved slowly. At this moment, the Power of Wisdom that was originally erratic all converged at the tip of her brush as if being summoned. Just like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, thousands of currents returning to the sea, the endless thread of Wisdom turned into terrifying power under Shi Tuqin’s command. Behind her, the golden flower bud gradually bloomed
“When autumn comes on September eighth, I’ll kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom.” Immediately, the flower of Wisdom blossomed fully. As the verse said, this was a will that could not be expressed in words. The moment the poem was completed, all those ultimate spells were annihilated at the same time, as if they were withered flowers dropping onto the ground. The golden energy lit up the entire void as it rushed out like a vast ocean and devoured everything in its path.
“Ah! What is this power? Fall back! Fall back!”
“What kind of brush is that? What kind of poem is that? It’s too terrifying. Even Wisdom had to bow down to it.”
“No, my Dao Heart’s shaking. Kill a hundred flowers, kill a hundred flowers… I get it now! It means we’ll wither and die, too!”
“She’s so domineering! How is it possible for such a heaven-defying ultimate spell to exist?”
In a split second, two-thirds of the people from the fourth dimension had been eliminated. Apart from the eight Wisdom Elites, there were also many Heavenly Realm fighters and Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal. All of them were not average fighters but skilled fighters in their own right.
Even the Wisdom Elites were spewing blood from their lips. Their injuries were so serious that their Origins of Life were not able to heal them quickly. This made them start to fear for their lives.
“Wow, that’s an awesome killer move, Sister Tuqin!” said Nanan with awe in her voice.
“The calligraphy she had learned from Brother Li’s truly domineering. Every poem is equal to a powerful ultimate spell. It’s as if a switch has been turned on in her head!” said Dragin.
“And that’s not all! Master has started teaching her how to draw, too. Her killer move will be even more powerful once she gets the hang of it.” Qin Manyun sighed internally and promised herself that she would practice harder, to learn more scores from the expert so that not all the limelight will be on Shi Tuqin.
Nanan suddenly smacked her forehead and in a vexed tone said, “Oh, no! Sister Tuqin, that was a little too heavy-handed. You should’ve left some of them alive so we can bring some game meat back to Brother Li.”
“Hurry, we need to capture as many as we can so that we can start a zoo for Brother Li!” said Dragin anxiously. She shot out and brought her ladle down on a bald guy who immediately collapsed without a sound. He transformed into a big hippo with black scales and red fangs.
“Haha! This is a new animal!” said Dragon happily.
“Let me do it, too! Let me do it, too!” said Nanan excitedly as she waved her shovel around.
‘Game meat? Zoo? What do they think we are? How dare they look down on us?’
“This is too much! Too much, I say!” Black Guardian roared frantically. He stared at everyone, raised his hand to Gu Yuan, and sneered, “Don’t you want to save your comrade? Drop your weapons and surrender. Otherwise, I’ll kill him!”
Gu Yuan tried his best to speak and said hoarsely, “Don’t listen to him. You don’t have to worry about me!”
Xiao Chengfeng gave Gu Yuan a relieved look. “Oh, we’re not worried about you at all.”
Cultivator Junjun snorted coldly. “Oh, grow up? Do you think we’re still little kids? Don’t you think we know the difference between him dying and the whole bunch of us dying?”
Nanan shook her head contemptuously and said, “Asking us to surrender? How naive can you get?”
Yang Jing held up a portrait and said to Gu Yuan, “Don’t worry, Brother Gu Yuan, the expert has personally painted a portrait of you. You can die with peace whenever you’re ready.”
Looking at the portrait, Gu Yuan burst into tears. “Thank you. I’m deeply touched.”
“Hahaha, fine. Guess you leave me no choice but to use that move, though it does feel like a little bit of an overkill on you guys.” Black Guardian and White Guardian looked at each other. Their faces were twisted with a bloodthirsty smile.
“You’ll pay for your arrogance!” The two of them raised their hands and waved at the same time. A halo gathered in the void and an extremely terrifying coercive force shot down on everyone.
It was a skeleton, glowing like white jade. The surrounding Wisdom was prosperous, and the laws were stretched. Although it was just a skeleton, the power contained in it was more terrifying than a Wisdom Elite.
Someone from the fourth dimension cried out in shock, “Is…is that…”
Yunkong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in shock, “It was rumored that the ancestor of the Yun family was living in his second body. His first body died during a catastrophe in the fourth dimension, leaving behind an immortal skeleton. Could that be the Yun ancestor’s skeleton?”
“Oh, I never expected you to know this.” Black Guardian glanced at Yunkong in surprise. Then, he proudly said, “The ancestor of the Yun family’s the most outstanding person in the fourth dimension since ancient times. Years later, he returned again, rising at a terrifying speed, and his cultivation base was even stronger than it was in the past, putting the Yun family at the pinnacle of power in the fourth dimension!”
White Guardian smiled lightly. “The average Wisdom Elite’s incomparable to this skeleton. It has been refined yet again by the ancestor, and it can borrow part of our ancestor’s power! This is our trump card!”
“It looks so terrifying! They even brought the first skeleton of the Yun ancestor. They certainly came prepared!”
“Will the Yun ancestor come? The seventh dimension will be toast.”
“It’s so strong! I don’t dare to move under this coercive power!”
“Hahaha! Look at the seventh dimension’s dazed look! They must be in despair right now.”
The people from the fourth dimension were all smiling. Although the seventh dimension gave them a lot of shock, it was nothing compared to the shock they gave them now.
“We respectfully invite our ancestor to come!” The two Guardians’ mana surged as they saluted the skeleton.
In an instant, the coercive force became even stronger as it shot up to the sky. The light illuminating the skeleton began to flow, and in the skull’s eye sockets, a little flame began to ignite as terrifying power flooded out like a river.
Nanan and the others raised their brows. They tried to attack it but discovered their spells were no use as they watched them bounce off the skeleton.
Black Guardian smiled and said triumphantly, “It’s useless. These are the strongest bones that have taken the second step in the realm of Wisdom Elite. It coexists with great Wisdom and cannot be wiped out by anything. The only thing you can do now is to wait for your death! Hahaha!”
Suddenly, red light exploded from the horizon as if raging fire with a powerful aura was rushing toward them. Instantly, they saw three giant flaming birds flying toward them. Most of the feathers on their body were red while their tails were tri-colored. They looked beautiful and noble. The most important thing was that they were all in the realm of Wisdom Elite.
“What… What are those? How could three Wisdom Elites suddenly appear like this?”
“Are they Chaos Divine Phoenixes? The divine beasts of the Chaos Ocean? The number of appearances recorded over countless years is only a handful. What are they doing in the seventh dimension?”
“How is it possible for three to appear at the same time? What’s going on? Are they doing a buy-one-free-two promotion?”
“Their arrival isn’t going to change anything now that the Yun ancestor’s here.”
As the Chaos Divine Phoenixes approached, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose and flames of great Wisdom ignited the void. They turned to look at Gu Yuan at the same time.
“Don’t worry, human pet Gu Yuan. We’ve come to rescue you!”
“We’ve come to repay our debts. We were nothing but lowly chickens and look at us now!”
“We’ll pay them back a thousandfold for what they did to you!”
Gu Yuan looked at them with tears rolling down both sides of his cheeks as his old eyes were filled with relief. His thoughts seemed to have returned to the scene when he was trying to catch them. He was full of emotions knowing that the chickens he had given to the expert had grown up.
The next moment, the three chickens were also shocked by the Yun ancestor skeleton and a solemn expression appeared on their faces.
“Huh? That skeleton seems to be very powerful. It looks like the three of us aren’t his match.” They were worried that if all 10 of them left together, it would attract the attention of the expert. Hence, it was decided that only three of them would come.
“Don’t worry. I brought the nest, too!” said one of them proudly as it took out a nest made of straw.
“Hey, that’s the nest the expert made for us to keep our eggs in. Didn’t he keep reminding us not to place it near a fire?”
“Now’s not the time to worry so much. Take that, skeleton!” The chicken flapped its wings lightly and threw the nest toward the skeleton. It looked so ordinary without the slightest halo and no spiritual fluctuations.
The nest landed directly on top of the skull and it seemed as if the skeleton was wearing a straw hat. Immediately afterward, the feathers of the three chickens flashed at the same time. Their beaks opened and endless divine fire spewed out as a sea of flames filled the sky, enveloping the skeleton.
The bright light in the skeleton’s pupils flickered suddenly, and a boundless force crossed the dimension as a consciousness awakened from its slumber.
“Never in a million years would I have expected that the seventh dimension would force me into using my first skeleton. Now, let me take a good look at the situation at hand.” A majestic voice came out from the skeleton. Yes, the divine consciousness of the Yun ancestor had descended upon the skeleton and the first thing he saw when it opened his eyes was divine fire rushing toward him.
‘Huh? I’ve just arrived and an attack’s already upon me? Oh, well, these flames might be strong but it won’t hurt me. Wait a minute…what’s this thing on my head? Who put a hat on me?’ The sacred fire descended on him and the straw hat was ignited. It was as if the flames ignited an explosive, and the qualitative change occurred in an instant. At this moment, the divine fire raged on, and the surrounding Wisdom was turned into fuel as it burned fiercely.
“Gasp! No, this isn’t possible. Ah—!”
