Chapter 184 - 184 Insane Breakthrough
Were these two people’s abilities really that terrifying?
One was a War General, the aura in her body steadily expanding as she absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The other was a Great Grand Master, who could also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without any reservation. In fact, he was like a bottomless pit, and there was no sign that he would burst.
Were there really Great Grand Masters in this world who could achieve this?
!!
Zhou Zhongzheng saw infinite potential in Lu Yu, and his eyes sparkled with bright light.
“Evoke the Spirit!”
The black-clad woman who had been suppressed all this while, was thoroughly incensed now. She turned on her skills.
At once, seven human figures identical to her emerged. Each one was indistinguishable from the real one, both in posture and appearance.
Seven black-clad women attacked in unison ruthlessly. They completely blocked the escape routes in every direction. The aura of the black-clad women was still gradually expanding, giving Lu Yu a big shock.
“Hoho! Do you think this is the level of my strength?” The black-clad woman laughed scornfully. She spread out her ten fingers slightly and the air was violently stirred up. A greenish vortex appeared. “You are very lucky to have the chance to witness my full strength. As a reward, I will grant you death!”
“Illusionary Sound Wave Arise!”
The next moment, the second skill of the black-clad woman was activated. A raging storm materialized. The black-clad woman and her seven identical figures all disappeared.
Beside Lu Yu’s ears, violent, howling gusts of wind with a strong murderous aura blasted at Lu Yu from all directions.
This attack was invisible and massless, and instantly penetrated all his defenses. Lu Yu’s body shook slightly and blood emerged from the corners of his mouth while his eyes were tinged with shock.
It was still a wind-attribute skill, but there was also another mental-type attack embedded within this skill. In his ears right now, there were constant echoes of the thunderous roars of the ebb and flow of the tide, as if he was being tossed around in a raging sea.
“Go to hell!”
Seven human figures appeared once again. Each figure condensed a blade of wind and sent it shooting towards Lu Yu.
However, Lu Yu remained indifferent. His eyes were dull as he stood frozen in place. This sight made Zhou Zhongzheng’s heart sink. This was the end. If Lu Yu was killed, he would not escape death either, and his fate would definitely be more terrible than Lu Yu’s.
Just when the seven blades of wind were about to cut through Lu Yu’s body, those lifeless eyes suddenly turned purple.
Purple Eye activated!
Instantly, the seven blades of wind were decimated and the seven human figures froze before exploding suddenly. Lu Yu’s voice penetrated the blistering wind in front of him. “Do you really think that you can kill me with this?”
In the middle of the raging storm, the black-clad woman spewed out a mouthful of blood. She stared at Lu Yu’s eyes, her face full of shock.
This was a mental-type attack, and one of the strongest categories of mental-type attacks too. Where did this guy get so many skills from?
With no time to think carefully, the illusion-causing function of the Purple Eye took effect. An illusionary realm enveloped the black-clad woman. The black-clad woman let out numerous sharp screams and waved her hands continuously, “Get away! All of you get away from me!”
She saw the enemies who died in her hands in the past. Even the Fearsome Beasts transformed into malevolent spirits clamoring for her life, drowning her in a sea of corpses and blood.
“8-directional Cleave!”
Lu Yu swung the Dragon Blood Battle Saber, and eight beams of saber light flashed outwards. The black-clad woman’s body was instantly sliced into eight parts.
Yet another War General had perished in Lu Yu’s hands. And this time, she was killed with overwhelming force.
Just when Zhou Zhongzheng heaved a big sigh of relief, and was about to remind Lu Yu to hurry up and leave, he saw Lu Yu sitting down cross-legged and circulating his true energy. He absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that was leaking out, which went gushing towards him in massive waves from all corners.
In a few moments, it had wrapped Lu Yu into a large cocoon.
Zhou Zhongzheng froze for a moment and said, “This guy… is trying to absorb all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that leaked out here!”
When he said this, he, Zhang Yu and Zhang Huaian got a big shock. Not even a War General could absorb such a boundless amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, yet Lu Yu was absorbing away without any worry of bursting his body.
However, though he was shocked, there was a hint of envy in Zhou Zhongzheng’s eyes.
[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Received: Strength +2300…]
[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Received: Health Vitality +2500…]
[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Received: Energy +2450…]
Just as Lu Yu was absorbing madly, rows of tiny texts appeared, displaying Lu Yu’s various indices rising exponentially.
With a booming sound, that realm barrier was smashed through with the force of a massive flood that gushed out when the floodgates were opened. It cracked open violently and Lu Yu broke through directly to Great Grand Master Grade 6.
And then, his momentum did not decrease and continued to climb upward, filling up the realm of Great Grand Master Grade 6 until it was full, and began marching towards Great Grand Master Grade 7.
At this point, more than half of the leaking spiritual energy of heaven and earth was left and it condensed into liquid form, surging towards Lu Yu in raging waves. All aspects of Lu Yu’s physique were undergoing a stunning metamorphosis.
[Ding! Detected that host has absorbed the extremely pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Received: Spring Surge (S-class)]
[Spring Surge]
[Level: S-class]
[Introduction: Through absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that has condensed into liquid form, the skill has advanced to the level of S-class. The specific function requires the host to experiment for himself.]
Lu Yu wasn’t expecting one of his skills to actually advance and became an S-class skill in this situation.
And at this point, his cultivation level broke through to Great Grand Master Grade 7, and was still climbing. Zhou Zhongzheng was absolutely astounded by such a breakthrough speed.
This was not some Great Martial Master or Grand Master, but a Great Grand Master. If others in the realm of the Great Grand Master wanted to break through, it would take years and years of preparation, yet here, Lu Yu made it look as easy as pie.
Having mingled in the capital for many years, he had seen too many geniuses and powerful experts, but never one like Lu Yu with such a heaven defying talent.
“Perhaps, my future won’t be that bad if I follow such a genius,” Zhou Zhongzheng murmured, his eyes flickering with excitement.
With Lu Yu’s rate of growth, as long as he did not fall midway, he would definitely become a big shot in the capital in the future, and he, Zhou Zhongzheng, would have the honor of growing with him.
At this point, just when Lu Yu was breaking through wildly, the purging of the Fearsome Beasts in Lunan City had entered the final stage. All the S-class Fearsome Beasts had been subdued. The cultivators of the Gamma Military Zone and Lunan City had successfully defended the strategic city and they were cheering and jumping with joy.
However, Song Yu looked in the direction of the blood-sucking wasteland, where the poisonous gas raged violently, trapped inside the array formation that had been constructed. The battle was far from over, and the real main battlefield was still in the blood-sucking wasteland.
