Chapter 2869: Fu Guang Promotion
Chapter 2869: Fu Guang Promotion
While thinking, Lu Ye was gradually approaching the place where the floating light was.
Looking up, Fu Guang's figure came into view. The place where he was should be a ruined Hedao City. That Hedao City was not large, probably only at the earth level.
Endless aura from the star abyss swept over and gathered into a huge and abundant force of Tao that surged over there.
Fu Guang was lying in a big "S" shape, as if he was suspended in the air by invisible ropes. His body was like a bottomless pit, madly devouring the Taoist power floating around.
"There's something wrong with him!" Jin Yao frowned.
As he watched, Fu Guang's eyes turned white like a dead fish, and he was still shaking violently. His expression was dull and stiff, and occasionally a trace of pain flashed across his face, but he said nothing.
Even he could not withstand the violent surge of power. From time to time, a cloud of blood mist would explode from his body and then disappear into thin air.
Lu Ye had no idea what the situation was like when Ba Qiu achieved his breakthrough that day, because when he returned from the Source Realm that day, Ba Qiu had already severed his own roots and failed to achieve his promotion.
But just as Jin Yao said, Fu Guang's current situation was clearly not right. This was definitely not the situation that would occur in a normal promotion and breakthrough.
"He has been completely corroded!" Lu Ye said in a deep voice.
In other words, Fu Guang has lost his own intelligence, or his own intelligence has been hidden and suppressed.
The aura of the Star Abyss erodes the cultivators' bodies and minds invisibly. As long as the cultivators continue to practice in the Star Abyss, they cannot escape this fate. People like Fu Guang Jin Yao are especially favored by the will of the Abyss because they are all candidates for becoming saints.
For example, the blessing from the Star Abyss can bring many benefits to the blessed, but it also makes the erosion more profound.
The longer this erosion lasts, the deeper it penetrates into the body and mind.
Fu Guang had no idea how many years he had lived. The reason why he chose to hide in the Hehe Realm was because his own situation had reached a limit, so he needed to hide in the Hehe Realm, a pure land without the aura of the Xingyuan.
He himself should have noticed something was wrong.
But after being frightened before, he escaped from the Hehe Realm and returned to Xingyuan, and the limit that had been suppressed for a long time was broken.
So the current situation is that it’s not that Fu Guang is going to be promoted and break through, but that he was chosen!
Although Yuan's will has not awakened, it still has instincts. Lu Ye is repelled by Xing Yuan's aura and has no way to seek help from external forces. This is its instinct.
It had been eagerly waiting for the ninth True Saint. Originally, Ba Qiu was a suitable candidate, but unfortunately, Ba Qiu cut off his own foundation, making its wait in vain.
Lu Yeyou still remembered the boundless malice and anger that surged out from the depths of Abyss Island when he left the Source Realm that day.
Under such circumstances, a person who is qualified to become a true saint suddenly appeared in Xingyuan. How could Yuan let him go according to his instinct?
However, the limit of Fu Guang's physical and mental erosion can be broken through with just one final push.
Various thoughts surged in his mind, and Lu Ye vaguely understood the truth of the matter.
I feel heavy-hearted. If that's the case, then this matter has something to do with him.
If he had not brought Jin Yao out of the nameless place, the current situation would not have happened. But how could he have imagined that Fu Guang would be frightened and leave Hehe Realm after seeing Jin Yao.
"We can't let him break through!" Lu Ye made a decision instantly, "Daoyou, protect my soul!"
As he spoke, he dodged and rushed over.
Jin Yao's figure flashed and disappeared.
Two breaths later, Lu Ye was not far from Fu Guang's figure. Being here, Xing Yuan's aura was extremely violent, and the free Taoist power around him seemed to be boiling. He ignored it all, and unsheathed the Panshan Sword. The Taoist power surged and gathered on the blade, and he slashed at Fu Guang fiercely.
The ninth level of the Small World Secret Technique has begun to be practiced, and the Panshan Sword has been cultivated to more than eight hundred swords. This sword has the power of more than nine thousand swords.
Even if Fu Guang has the qualifications to become a true saint, without the blessing of the Hedao Pearl, he would most likely not be able to withstand the attack with his own strength.
However, in fact, as Lu Ye's sword power fell, the free Taoist power around Fu Guang seemed to come alive, lingering around him layer by layer. In a short period of time, Lu Ye's sword power was continuously reduced. By the time the sword hit Fu Guang, only 60% of its power remained.
It failed to break his protective power, but just caused his body to tremble.
Lu Ye frowned, realizing something was wrong.
The situation just now was undoubtedly not due to Fu Guang's own ability, but the fact that when he was promoted and broke through, the surging Taoist power around him formed a natural protection on his side.
He didn't know if this was the case when Ba Qiu was promoted, but it seemed to be the same now.
Things are indeed not that simple.
In a flash, Lu Ye did not retreat. Instead, the hand holding the knife became even steadier. As the power of Taoism surged, a blood-red flag suddenly fluttered behind him.
It was the Wuxiang Dingjun flag that he had snatched from Zong Shenliang.
There are many precious fruits on the talent tree, but this is the only one that can improve his strength at the moment.
With the appearance of the Dingjun Flag, Lu Ye felt that his own strength had improved again. It wasn't too much, about five hundred or so, but such an improvement could not be ignored for any cultivator.
The next moment, the power reserves in the talent tree dissipated madly, and Lu Ye turned the long sword in his hand into a group of afterimages.
Every strike was made with all one's strength, and every strike had an explosion of nearly ten thousand Dao forces.
Amidst such dense sword light, Fu Guang was like a peeled onion, and the protection floating on his side was shattered into pieces.
The sharp blade light gradually approached Fu Guang's body.
As if sensing danger, Fu Guang's already trembling eyeballs trembled even more violently.
Suddenly, his eyes rolled back again, he turned his head stiffly, and stared at Lu Ye who was so close to him with an expressionless face.
This glance made Lu Ye lose his mind instantly.
The moment they looked at each other, he seemed to see the figure of a monster lurking in an unknown land. The figure was huge and majestic, incomprehensible and indescribable, and it made people instinctively feel fear and terror, as if it was the origin of all disasters and the end of destruction.
渊!
Lu Ye's hand movements paused slightly.
Even in the Source Realm, he had never seen Yuan's true body, because this guy was sealed in Yuan Island, but at this moment, he vaguely saw it.
"呷..." A strange sound suddenly sounded in my mind.
In the soul sea, Jin Yao's face changed, because not only Lu Ye heard the voice, but Jin Yao also heard it.
As the voice rang out, Lu Ye’s soul sea was hit hard, causing huge waves.
She hurriedly shook the soul-calming bell in her hand, and the sound of the bell rang out, but it failed to immediately calm the abnormality in her soul sea.
Lu Ye had a splitting headache and a vague illusion that his soul was shattered, but it was only a brief hesitation, and his attack became more fierce.
The natural defenses around Fu Guang were broken even more severely, and Lu Ye's sharp sword force had caused blood to seep out of his skin.
After a few breaths, Lu Ye finally cleared away all obstacles, and the only thing standing in front of his sword was Fu Guang's protective power!
Just when he was about to kill Fu Guang in one go, he suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
For no reason, he felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him coldly from behind, as if it was a ferocious beast, baring its teeth at him with its bloody mouth open.
will die!
If I cut him with this sword, I will really die!
When this thought flashed through his mind, Lu Ye swung his sword without any hesitation.
At the same time, a violent force burst out from behind him. As a mirror-like light shattered, Lu Ye felt pain all over his body. The flesh and blood on his back exploded and he rolled out.
In his inverted vision, he vaguely saw a masked figure standing behind his original position. The mask had red letters on a white background, with a clear word "贰" on it!
His consciousness became hazy and he could vaguely hear Jin Yao's screams in the soul sea, and the Panshan Sword had already flown out of his hand.
Wow…
A strange noise was heard, as if a chain was being dragged. Lu Ye wanted to open his eyes to see clearly, but he felt his eyelids were extremely heavy. Finally, his consciousness sank and he fainted.
The vast starry sky is boundless. On the broken meteorites, Lu Ye’s broken body lies there quietly.
The Panshan Sword that had flown out of his hand earlier had returned on its own and was hanging beside Lu Ye, like a loyal guard.
Now, Lu Ye has nurtured Liao to have more than 800 powers, comparable to a body of Dao. However, without Lu Ye's Dao power reserves, Liao is like a tree without roots and water without a source, and cannot exert much. But this is all it can do right now.
After following Lu Ye for so many years, it had never seen Lu Ye so badly injured. His back was a mess of blood and flesh, his internal organs were almost all shattered, and even his bones had many fine cracks.
Jin Yao was also standing nearby, looking at the Panshan Knife with eyes full of surprise.
The soul and the sword seem to be quiet, but in fact they are communicating with each other through their spiritual thoughts.
"He should be waking up soon." Jin Yao said. Before Lu Ye fell into a coma, she was using the power of the Soul-Calming Bell to sort out Lu Ye's chaotic sea of soul. Now his sea of soul is no longer in danger. The reason why Lu Ye fell into a coma was entirely because of his severe injuries.
Moreover, there was no sign of healing of such injuries. The terrifying Taoist spirit lingering around Lu Ye's wounds was hindering his recovery.
Almost the next moment after Jin Yao finished speaking, Lu Ye slowly opened his eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, then he remembered what had happened before, and then he felt a piercing pain coming from all over his body.
He slowly sat up, turned to look at Jin Yao beside him, then looked at the Panshan Knife, raised his hand and grabbed Liao back.
His gaze shifted to the ruined prefecture-level city in the distance, and his eyes sank slightly.
"I'll heal my wounds first!" he said, and immediately activated the power of the talent tree to burn away the Tao that had invaded his body.
After more than half a day, as the Dao spirit that had invaded his body was burned out, Lu Ye's injuries slowly began to recover.
When he opened his eyes, he immediately looked at Jin Yao: "Where's Fu Guang?"
Jin Yao said: "After you were injured, a dark chain suddenly appeared and locked Fu Guang, and then he disappeared."
Although he had guessed this result, Lu Ye still felt heavy-hearted when it was confirmed.
Fu Guang...finally became a True Saint! (End of this chapter)
