Chapter 2136 - Chapter 2136: Danger
In the dark sky, the golden light poured everywhere, looking like an illusion.
The Yuan meridian in Chu Liuyue’s body continuously broke. After absorbing this force, it was quickly wrapped and repaired by the red-golden fire.
The process was extremely painful yet very quick and effective! Every inch of her bones and muscles were undergoing shocking change!
…
The crowd fell into dead silence.
The scene seemed to be frozen, and even the air stiffened.
When they saw the golden lightning bolt being summoned, they were also curious as to how Chu Liuyue would deal with it. However, the scene before their eyes had greatly exceeded their expectations.
“W-what exactly… did she do? That golden lightning bolt just… shattered?!”
Mutters filled with shock came from the crowd.
Everyone heard them clearly, but nobody replied. That was because they did not know the answer.
They only knew that ever since Chu Liuyue started to break through to become a legendary warrior, things had started developing in an unpredictable direction.
Originally, they thought that the appearance of this golden lightning bolt would forcefully halt her cultivation process, but the truth was the opposite. The shocking force contained within it seemed to have all turned into her force!
Nie Hongjie widened his eyes in shock and looked up at the scene in the sky. His mind turned blank.
Despite his many years of experience, he was also dazed.
“Father! What exactly did she do?!” Nie Ruyun was exasperated as she looked at him in disbelief and anxiety. The uneasiness in her heart gradually became intense.
When Chu Liuyue didn’t come out previously, and she saw the terrifying energy vortex, she could still comfort herself that Chu Liuyue must be stuck in that hall and was experiencing fatal torture. In no time, she would be dead.
Yet, Chu Liuyue was out now! Besides, she even accepted that golden bolt of lightning so easily!
Nie Ruyun knew very clearly that if it were her, she couldn’t handle the golden lightning bolt containing tremendous force. She would be handicapped if not dead.
However, Chu Liuyue looked perfectly normal, and her aura kept strengthening!
She had almost reached the peak of the true god cultivation realm, and she was just a step away from being a legendary warrior.
“She won’t actually break through to become a legendary warrior, right? Father, she can’t do it, right?” Nie Ruyun asked, harboring her last bit of wistful hope.
However, Nie Hongjie did not speak.
He naturally wished for that to be the case, but… The signs of Chu Liuyue about to break through were too clear! He could not ignore them, even if he wanted to.
Originally, he thought that she would fail because her Yuan meridian could not tolerate the nourishment of becoming a legendary warrior. Who knew she could accept the lightning bolt so readily!?
Seeing his reaction, Nie Ruyun’s heart slowly turned cold.
Bam!
A ball of red-golden fire suddenly rushed out from Chu Liuyue’s side, enveloping her.
If one took a closer look, they could still see the brilliant armor covering her skin below that fire.
The bright intensities of colors overlapped as the fire burned in a high and mighty manner!
With that fire in the middle, the crowd could barely see her appearance.
Her expression was calm and nonchalant. Her eyes seemed to be icebergs that would not melt in a thousand years, yet they also seemed like everlasting moonlight in a cold, arrogant, and imperious way.
Cen Yi stood with one hand behind his back and looked over. His usually nonchalant eyes flashed with a hint of emotions and reminiscence, as well as deep respect and admiration.
Qiang Wanzhou looked at this scene in a daze as countless messy and blurred scenes flashed across his eyes.
“Yue—” He unwittingly muttered softly, as if he wanted to say something, but he could only say half of it.
Yue… what?
That familiar feeling became stronger and stronger. The guess he buried deep in his heart surfaced again.
It wasn’t that he never suspected she was the person he was looking for. But no matter if it were her age or something else, it did not match.
Even she said that she had never been to Nan Jiang, and clearly, he didn’t exist in her memories.
Qiang Wanzhou faintly felt that he had walked into a maze and could not escape.
As if possessed, he looked toward that stone door again. Then, a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind. I left through this stone door before!
On the other far end of the Red Moon Desert, Lan Xiao’s Holy Body was still forming.
Dugu Mobao had already triggered the fourth lightning bolt to help form the limbs of Lan Xiao’s bones.
They were still two bolts away from succeeding—one to form the skull and one to form the Holy Pill!
Diwu Zhangze looked at Dugu Mobao worriedly.
At this point, the latter’s face was extremely pale, and he had clearly reached his limits. However, the last two bolts of lightning were the most troublesome, and he didn’t know if the latter—
“Big Baby, can you still persist?” asked Diwu Zhangze worriedly.
Dugu Mobao did not speak as he circulated his force, clearly planning to continue.
At this stage, he only had this one choice. If he stopped now, all the previous efforts would be for naught.
It was fine for him, but Lan Xiao probably could not suffer such torture once more.
He looked at the distant sky. “Yue’er Girlie is breaking through to become a legendary warrior?”
Diwu Zhangze nodded. “I think so. Previously, she summoned the golden lightning bolt, and it seems like she accepted it. Breaking through to become a
legendary warrior is just a matter of time, but… It happened so suddenly, and the girl must have suffered.”
Guilt quickly flashed across Dugu Mobao’s eyes as he bit his lips. “…It’s still because I didn’t consider this fully in the end…”
...
Originally, he wanted to open that barrier to allow those people to come over and help Yue’er find Tuan Zi and Zi Chen. However, things progressed in such a ridiculous manner.
That thing even used this chance to forcefully absorb the crowd’s force to strengthen itself and forcefully open Tuan Zi’s meridian.
After being suppressed in the Red Moon Desert for 10,000 years, he originally thought that the thing would be more restrained. However, he didn’t expect it to be so daring as it forced Yue’er to forcefully break through to become a legendary warrior!
Diwu Zhangze shook his head and comforted, “You had good intentions. It’s just that the thing is too maniacal, causing things to end up in this stage. You don’t have to blame yourself for this. If you didn’t open the barrier and lure those people over, that thing wouldn’t be in the hall and summon—”
He paused, as if he were fearing something. “Anyway, it’s a good thing that Yue’er can take this chance to break through to become a legendary warrior
early. ”
Anyway, this day would come sooner or later.
Dugu Mobao retracted his gaze and looked at Lan Xiao.
At this point, he was already wrapped in a cocoon of intersecting silver and golden light. His eyes were tightly shut, and his brows were knitted.
He was awake, but he could not speak now.
The pain of reforming his bones and muscles was enough to exhaust all of his force.
...
Dugu Mobao waved his hands.
A golden bolt of lightning appeared once again! But this time, the lightning bolt did not strike for a long time.
Dugu Mobao’s heart sank as he looked over.
That golden lightning bolt actually disappeared silently!
