Chapter 683 - 322 Light of the Jiuyou Battlefield
Lu Yi’s gaze swept over the surroundings; naturally, he also noticed that cultivators nearby were drawn over by the commotion.
He didn’t care, leading Liu Ningshuang and the four of them as they disappeared from the spot.
As the group vanished, the cultivators around were even more astounded, discussing among themselves about who could be capable of killing so many Jiuyou Demons with a True Immortal cultivation base.
With such strength, why was there no reputation throughout the Tianluo Star Domain?
……
After returning to their base, Lu Yi and Liu Ningshuang’s group rested for a few days, recovered, and then delved deeper into the Jiuyou Battlefield.
This timed their venture went deeper than the previous few days.
All the Jiuyou Demons that Lu Yi encountered were slain.
Unlike the previous days, they were not besieged by thousands of Jiuyou Demons.
However, as they approached the ritual area they had entered during their last venture into the Zhen’an Battlefield, the surrounding Jiuyou Demons again vanished.
Lu Yi and his group became alert.
“Just like the other days, we’re not about to be surrounded again, are we?” Liu Ningshuang frowned.
“Let them surround us; with the freak junior brother here, those Jiuyou Demons can’t really harm us,” Jian Ruyu was eager to try.
The fierce battle a few days ago was very challenging for them; however, their gains were substantial as well.
At this moment, Jian Ruyu already felt the breakthrough bottleneck to True Immortal.
If a few more such encounters occurred, perhaps it wouldn’t be long before she could break through to the True Immortal Realm.
Donggong Ming Yue was also eager to try, while Yun Xi had a calm expression, her ethereal eyes scanning the surroundings. She was even more composed compared to Donggong Ming Yue and Jian Ruyu.
“Sister Ruyu, we were attacked by that many Jiuyou Demons a few days ago. If there really are stronger Jiuyou Demons plotting behind this, their strength will definitely be stronger this time. It’s better to be cautious,” she said.
Liu Ningshuang also slightly nodded: “Yun Xi is right.”
Listening to their conversation, Lu Yi led them deeper.
Soon, they arrived at a desolate mountain range.
In the pitch-dark mountains, patches of black mist rose, the desolate mountains filled with dark rocks, void of any vitality.
In fact, in the Jiuyou Battlefield, besides cultivators and Jiuyou Demons, no living spirits could possibly arise.
After all, this area had already been completely enveloped by the Jiuyou Qi, filled everywhere with an exceptionally eerie atmosphere.
At that moment, in the entire mountain range, all mountain peaks were surging with dense black mists, like demons screaming and dead spirits wailing.
These eerie sounds pervaded the entire area, causing Lu Yi’s mind to feel somewhat foggy.
Such intense Jiuyou Qi!
He couldn’t help but frown. If even Lu Yi felt uncomfortable, let alone Liu Ningshuang and the others.
Their faces turned slightly pale, furrowing their brows, with Immortal Spirit Qi swirling around them as they began to use the Power of Laws to isolate the Jiuyou Qi.
Their expressions also turned more solemn.
“This time is indeed different from the past few days.” Even the eager Jian Ruyu and Donggong Ming Yue furrowed their brows.
Just then, Lu Yi’s expression became solemn. He felt numerous Profound Immortal Qi signatures continuously emerging from within the black mist, and apart from the Profound Immortals, there was also a large number of True Immortal level Qi signatures rapidly appearing.
The Qi signatures Lu Yi felt were already in the thousands, and the number was still increasing. More and more Qi signatures emerged, causing even Lu Yi to grow serious.
“Be careful, the Jiuyou Demons this time are much stronger than last time,” he cautioned.
Upon hearing Lu Yi’s warning, the faces of Liu Ningshuang’s group changed.
They all knew Lu Yi was extremely powerful, with far superior sensory abilities than theirs.
Clearly, Lu Yi had perceived something.
This made the four of them somewhat nervous.
“How strong?” asked Liu Ningshuang.
Lu Yi cracked a smile, his eyes flashing sharply, “The Profound Immortal level Qi I’m sensing right now is already in the hundreds.”
“???” All four were stunned.
The atmosphere fell silent, Donggong Ming Yue’s face stiffened slightly, her voice hoarse, “…Hundreds of Profound Immortal level Jiuyou Demons?! Could it be that all of the Profound Immortal level Jiuyou Demons in the entire Zhen’an Battlefield have come?!”
The other three were also bewildered.
It’s known that the Zhen’an Battlefield is only so large, and every so often, the Star Realm Army comes here to clear out a batch of powerful Jiuyou Demons.
The last purge was just a few centuries ago, and it hadn’t been long. Gathering hundreds of Profound Immortal level Jiuyou Demons might already be the limit of the entire Zhen’an Battlefield.
“…Are they all targeting you, the freak junior brother?” Jian Ruyu was somewhat numb, muttering, “Why do you attract these monsters so much?”
Lu Yi smiled, “Perhaps I’m just popular?”
All four rolled their eyes; at this time, they really weren’t in the mood for such a cold joke.
Feeling the Qi signatures rapidly approaching, Lu Yi’s expression grew heavier, “Alright, let’s use the secret technique. Otherwise, it’s too dangerous for you to stay outside. This time, there are even Jiuyou Demons of the Heavenly Immortal level.”
Liu Ningshuang and the others fully understood how strong these Jiuyou Demons were, all nodding with somber expressions.
Using the Yin Yang Tao Seal, they transformed into glowing lights, merging into an incredibly Mysterious Tao Pattern, which integrated into the spot between Lu Yi’s eyebrows.
The next moment, Lu Yi’s cultivation base surged, breaking through from the True Immortal Second Level, advancing one level after another, directly reaching the True Immortal Eighth Layer.
After Lu Yi advanced to the True Immortal Realm, he had further developed the Yin Yang Tao Seal Secret Technique. Now, the Yin Yang Tao Seal Secret Technique was much stronger than when he was at the Heavenly Immortal level.
