Chapter 686 - 323: Star Gate Prototype
“… What happened over there?!”
“Such a terrifying aura, this… might have reached the Golden Immortal Level, right? Has some big figure come to our Zhen’an Battlefield?”
“With such a huge commotion, is it a battle with a high-level Jiuyou Demon?”
The crowd was tremendously shocked, with discussions all around.
The Military Leader within the stationed area of the Star Realm Army was extremely solemn, leading his team as they flew towards the direction of the light.
The disturbance was too significant; they had to understand the situation.
If any abnormalities occurred on the Zhen’an Battlefield that significantly impacted it, allowing the Jiuyou Demons to break out of the battlefield and into the real universe, it would be a huge disaster for the entire universe!
……
The light gradually faded, and the white column in the sky also disappeared.
The Eternal Light Shield above Lu Yi transformed into a streak of light, merging into his body.
He glanced around, the entire mountain range had been leveled by that last encounter, the ground resembling molten glass, sparkling brightly.
All nearby Jiuyou Demons, including that powerful and strange one, had vanished.
This was the power of a Mid Grade Postnatal Spirit Treasure.
When Lu Yi was at the Yu Family, he had learned about Immortal Treasures, and many Immortal Monarch Level cultivators could not obtain Postnatal Spirit Treasures, let alone Mid Grade ones.
It was imaginable how precious and powerful this was.
Lu Yi, sure there was no danger, relaxed.
He let out a breath of stale air, his face pale, his breath somewhat weak.
Even though he couldn’t unleash the full power of the Mid Grade Postnatal Spirit Treasure, that attempt had almost depleted all his Spiritual Energy, even the Immortal Spirit Qi in the Small World Pearl had been largely consumed.
At that moment, the Yin Yang Tao Seal on Lu Yi’s forehead flashed, turning into four beams of light that took the forms of Liu Ningshuang and her companions.
The four women also looked pale, their breaths weak, and panting heavily.
They had used a secret technique to merge their strength with Lu Yi’s, so naturally, they had expended as much as Lu Yi had.
Their expressions were extremely shocked.
Donggong Ming Yue exclaimed in astonishment, “Senior brother, what level of treasure was that just now? How could it be so powerful?”
Being part of the secret technique, they naturally had firsthand experience of the treasure’s formidable power.
Such a powerful treasure made even thinking back on it somewhat unnerving for them.
“It’s an Acquired Spirit Treasure,” Lu Yi said with a smile.
“Acquired Spirit Treasure?!”
The four women all widened their eyes, flabbergasted.
Having spent some time in the Yu Family, Liu Ningshuang and her group were not unfamiliar with such items, and they clearly understood what an Acquired Spirit Treasure represented.
Such treasures were rare even in the Yu Family, and all of them were held by the higher-ups.
They didn’t expect that Lu Yi would possess one as well.
The four were unclear where Lu Yi’s Acquired Spirit Treasure had come from.
But since Lu Yi didn’t elaborate, they naturally did not inquire further.
After all, Lu Yi had always obtained various treasures too frequently, although he always stated they were obtained by chance, but how could so many coincidences exist.
This clearly indicated that Lu Yi had some special way to acquire these treasures.
Perhaps it was due to Lu Yi’s connection with the Tao that he had acquired so many treasures?
“With such a powerful treasure, no wonder it has such formidable power,” Liu Ningshuang said softly as she scanned the surroundings.
The other three nodded in agreement.
Lu Yi laughed and said, “Those Jiuyou Demons were probably the advanced ones accumulated over the past few hundred years; having killed them all just now, it’s unlikely there will be many powerful Jiuyou Demons around for a while.”
“It’s a pity; we were hoping to fight a few more battles,” Donggong Ming Yue somewhat dissatisfied.
Lu Yi chuckled, “Even though there probably are no more Profound Immortal Level Jiuyou Demons, we should still be able to find some True Immortal Level ones; we can stay here and continue our training.”
All four happily nodded.
As they talked and rested, some of the Immortal Spirit Qi inside Lu Yi began to restore, and he led Liu Ningshuang and the others towards the direction of their camp.
However, not long into their flight, Lu Yi sensed several presences rapidly approaching them, all True Immortals and some even familiar.
Lu Yi frowned and looked towards the direction from where the presences were emanating.
Liu Ningshuang and her group also perceived these presences.
“Are they Immortals?” Yun Xi blinked.
The aura of Immortal Realm cultivators was entirely different from that of Jiuyou Demons, easily distinguishable.
“Yes, they must have been attracted by the earlier commotion, and these presences… some seem familiar; probably the Star Realm Army,” Lu Yi nodded.
“Should we go over and see?”
Lu Yi smiled, “They’ve already noticed our presence, there’s no need for us to go over.”
As they spoke, those several presences were already flying towards them.
……
In the sky, several teams of the Star Realm Army with solemn expressions flew towards the region where the light column appeared.
Their hearts were heavy.
After all, until now, Zhen’an Battlefield had never exhibited such a phenomenon.
The earlier light column had already been of Golden Immortal Level strength, yet the gateway at Zhen’an Battlefield only allowed Profound Immortal Level Jiuyou Demons to appear.
Why then did a Golden Immortal Level aura suddenly manifest?
They were somewhat anxious, fearing that Zhen’an Battlefield might be undergoing an unexpected change, the Jiuyou Channel might be widening, and more powerful Jiuyou Demons could appear on the battlefield.
The atmosphere was tense; one of the Star Realm Army cultivators spoke up, “Captain, a few hundred years ago, it was rumored our Military Leader had thwarted an odd ritual by the Jiuyou Demons; that ritual was apparently intended to widen the Jiuyou Channel.”
