LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 11: Luohu Awakens?
The Void Demon Child was furiously irrepressible, but facing this dead end, he was powerless to retort and could only bitterly repeat the name of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
The divination and deduction techniques of the Human Race were a barrier that the Netherworld found difficult to overcome when sowing disaster within human territories.
If there were a Human Race power that the Netherworld most despised, the Guardian Tower ranked first, closely followed by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.
Pangyang, the Tower Master, swept his eagle-like, sharp gaze over the grotesque but motionless Luohu within the Blood Pool, his tone cold and tinged with a mix of mockery and probing, "Is this the Luohu that you have schemed for a hundred years to reincarnate, after slaughtering millions of people in Zhenjiang City?"
This hit right at the pain point of the Void Demon Child.
It was precisely because of Luohu's current half-dead appearance that he had fallen into such a deadlock.
Mastering the Space True Intention, he was not strong in his physical body, tending more towards the role of a Dharma Cultivation.
On ordinary days, relying on the capability of Space True Intention to move unpredictably, how could he possibly engage in close combat with a Body Cultivation.
Yet, under the restriction of the Heaven Locking Seal, he had no choice but to confront Pangyang's powerful physical body with his own weakest aspect.
Luohu was a natural born battle fanatic endowed with extreme strength as a talent, if Luohu were conscious now, he would be able to confront Pangyang head-on. How could he have fallen to such a state, engaging in this brute-like behavior in his eyes?
"Again!" Pangyang, the Tower Master, withdrew his gaze from Luohu, and with a cold chuckle towards the Void Demon Child, said, "Like a rat, you have plagued Qing State for so many years, but now the end has come."
The next instant, the golden light radiating from his body was even more intense than before.
A pale golden colossal figure gradually materialized in the void behind Pangyang, massive in stature, like a golden mountain.
It was the phantom of a wolf-type ferocious beast, hugely intimidating, crouched in the void, its golden eyes like two brilliant golden lanterns, with dazzling brilliance swirling within.
"Dharma Aspect!" The Void Demon Child's expression grew even uglier.
A Body Cultivation who has cultivated a Dharma Aspect, with the power of the Dharma Aspect upon them, would have their combat power climb another level.
"Roar!" The wolf phantom roared in the void, took a step forward, and the entire Soul Shadow merged with Pangyang to become one entity, transmitting an aura that made the heart of the Void Demon Child palpitate.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Under the support of the Dharma Aspect, Pangyang began to move, and the entire cave shook with his movements, the golden radiance dyeing the whole cave resplendently gold.
The strong intent to kill surged towards the Void Demon Child.
"Rise!"
The Void Demon Child could no longer care about anything else, a mad gleam in his eyes, as countless beams of blood surged from the Blood Pool, stirring up huge waves, rushing furiously towards Pangyang.
This move was almost an all-out effort using the power of the Blood Pool.
Pangyang's body, on the other hand, released golden Gang Qi, countering the waves of blood light.
Like thunderous waves crashing upon the shore, the splashing blood light spilled to the sides, instantly shattering the cave walls of the cavern, scattering debris all around, while Pangyang stood unyielding at the center of the turmoil.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cave, unable to withstand the violent aftershocks, collapsed with a thunderous roar.
"Scram!" Pangyang, the Tower Master, let out a thunderous shout, and the golden Gang Qi violently shook, blowing all the debris away.
Mist and dust filled the air, numerous beams of golden light shot through, dispersing it.
Yet with just this one collision, the vast cave had already crumbled.
```
Amidst the falling debris that filled the sky, a golden claw reached out, sweeping away all the rubble and charging straight towards the chest of the Void Demon.
Bang!
The giant golden claw erupted in a torrent of light, slapping the Void Demon away like a piece of withered grass.
In the instant the golden claw struck, deep purple eerie runes flickered on the chest of the Void Demon in an attempt to withstand this powerful and fierce attack.
Yet, even so, his chest was still concaved, looking utterly miserable.
Pangyang was not about to give the Void Demon any chance to catch his breath, relentlessly closing in on him, moving back and forth, and bombarding the Void Demon with punch after punch, swift and ferocious.
The Void Demon was beaten until he continuously spat blood, his body covered in wounds, utterly devoid of any power to resist.
...
In another battlefield within the canyon, the sound of swords howling and spells exploding rose and fell in succession.
Sword Cultivators manipulated their swift Flying Swords, dragging long tails of flame in the sky as they moved about, assaulting the Underworld Cultivators.
Lu Qingshan's mood grew increasingly joyful; the Spirit Arts controlled by Liu Yu were indeed the perfect match for him.
With Body Cultivators at the front taking hits, Spiritual Cultivators at the back enhancing his state, and the physically powerful Underworld Cultivators with activated Demon Race bloodlines serving as living targets.
There was no situation better suited for practicing swordsmanship and grinding Experience Points.
Lu Qingshan, firing on all cylinders, had completely extinguished the thought of close-quarters combat and instead chose to rely on long-range strikes with his Flying Sword.
The Dragon Sparrow Sword often touched and went without any delay, simple and incredibly fast, posing a mysterious and deadly threat to the Underworld Cultivators—life and death hanging in the balance of a moment.
Because the space was limited and there was endless pressure from two Void Refining Cultivators, these Underworld Cultivators had no room to maneuver, their numbers dwindling and their will to fight eroding as the battle progressed.
While constantly slaying Underworld Cultivators, Lu Qingshan was also striving to control the rhythm of the Flying Sword, by varying the sword's speed, force, feints, and reality. Changing up the rhythm forced his opponents into a frenzied chase.
In such a situation, enemies could only follow passively and were prone to expose openings, which he would seize to kill with a single strike.
This technique was a micro-managing skill that Sword Cultivator players must master.
Having studied the Sword Cultivator class for ten years, Lu Qingshan was naturally very familiar with these maneuvers, but regrettably, they were only combat skills from a game and could not be directly translated into reality.
However, with that awareness and experience and leveraging his Sword Dao talent, in reality, Lu Qingshan managed to replicate his gaming skills in just this one large-scale melee and quickly recaptured the feeling he once had.
Under his control, the Flying Sword hunted down enemies like a Spirit Snake.
Whiz, whiz, whiz!
Even in such a complex melee, Lu Qingshan consistently relied on his precise judgment of timing and the situation to accurately claim the lives of seven Underworld Cultivators, pocketing sixty thousand Experience Points. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire
However, this good fortune was nearing its end.
The Underworld Cultivators on the field were already down to a mere few, and faced with such despair, the remaining few Underworld Cultivators also displayed faces filled with bewilderment and distraction, coupled with undeniable panic.
...
Suspended outside the canyon, holding the Heaven Locking Seal and responsible for sealing the space, Hanmei True Venerable was intently watching the battle between Pangyang Tower Master and the Void Demon.
Seeing Pangyang hold an absolute advantage and continuously tormenting the Void Demon, Hanmei True Venerable also felt confident of victory, her mood inadvertently becoming light and joyful.
Nobody noticed that when the Void Demon had drained the power of the Blood Pool, within the Blood Pool, Luohu who seemed like a lifeless statue without any sound, had one finger on the palm of one of his four hands twitch slightly.
