Chapter 917: Chapter 447: Relic, Lightning-Struck Wood

Green hills stretch on endlessly, and the distant waters flow on.

In this valley, the towering trees block out the sky and sun, and from within their shadows, one can catch the indistinct roars of unknown birds and beasts.

Before Lu Yun could take a clear look around, a sudden, massive noise emerged from behind him.

The next instant, a strong gust of wind struck him.

With a light tap of his toes, his feet flashed with the light of thunder, and his body soared into the air like a great roc breaking free from the earth.

Right after that, a fierce beast resembling a ferocious tiger pounced on the spot where he had just been standing.

...

Twisting his body in midair, Lu Yun drew his sword in a flash, infusing it with Thunder Divine Power.

In an instant, a wild aura of the Thunder Knife burst forth, causing the mighty beast’s figure to hesitate.

The Long Blade descended swiftly, fast as a startling rainbow.

The fierce beast didn’t even have time to let out a miserable scream before it was cleaved in two, its massive head tumbling to the ground as blood gushed from the wound.

The enormous corpse fell to the ground, emitting a buzzing sound.

Sheathing his sword, Lu Yun walked straight toward the spirit herbs swaying in the gentle breeze.

Qu Feng grass, a low-grade king-ranked spirit herb, after collecting it, Lu Yun then approached to examine the fierce beast that had ambushed him.

It had the shape of a mighty tiger, but instead of fur, it was covered with pale yellow scale armor, tough as ironstone. He had felt a slight resistance when he had used his Blood Slaughter Blade to chop it down.

Even though this slight resistance was negligible under the overwhelming power, it still proved that the defensive strength of the beast before him was indeed astonishing.

“The strike I unleashed, imbued with my full Thunder Divine Power, would cut down an ordinary True Spirit Realm cultivator as easily as slicing through vegetables. This beast’s defense is not weaker than that of a True Spirit Realm cultivator,” remarked Lu Yun, a slight shift in his expression.

With his divine power surging, the Hell Furnace materialized and enveloped the bloodstained corpse on the ground.

Before long, the underworld fire extinguished, the Furnace dissipated, and the golden Divine Light enveloping his body retracted, returning the surroundings to calm.

By merely glimpsing a part, he could see his mastery over the Hell Furnace was becoming increasingly refined.

“The Great Array has sealed off this valley for over a month, and most areas have been explored, except for that region shrouded in purple haze.”

“However, the entity occupying that place is powerful. Even though I’ve become much stronger over this period, I’m at most an ant in front of it.”

“To stay any longer will inevitably lead to other complications; I must leave this place as soon as possible,” Lu Yun mused silently.

Suddenly, a blade light attacked, striking with a bang against an ancient tree beside him, cutting it into two halves, and leaves scattered in the wind.

He leaped into the air to dodge and looked into the distance.

A particularly sturdy middle-aged man stood there, his wild hair whipping around in the wind, with an aura of arrogance and unruliness. He looked at Lu Yun with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, “Kid, come with me. My Eldest Brother has orders for you guys.”

Behind him, several True Spirit Realm powerhouses stood with cold expressions and Killing Intent.

“Who’s your Eldest Brother, and what does he want with me?” Lu Yun inquired.

“Cut the crap and just follow if you’re told,” the robust middle-aged man grumbled impatiently, clearly not taking Lu Yun seriously.

Gripping his Long Blade tighter, Lu Yun sized up the middle-aged man and his companions.

The lead middle-aged man, for no apparent reason, felt a chill down his spine, but the sensation quickly disappeared, leaving him with a trace of bewilderment.

At that time, other cultivators arrived, each driving a group of cultivators before them.

The leader, who had two long scars on his face, said to the middle-aged man, “Zhao Lao Er, he’s just a Unity Realm cultivator. What do you want with him? Just kill him and save the trouble.”

Zhao Lao Er, also known as the sturdy middle-aged cultivator, replied, “This person just killed a Red Flame Tiger with a single strike, and his strength is stronger than the average True Spirit Realm cultivator, meeting the requirements of our Boss.”

The scar-faced cultivator glanced at Lu Yun and nodded slightly, “Since that is the case, let’s take him back with us.”

Soon, Lu Yun and several True Spirit Realm cultivators were driven to the area covered by the purple haze.

Ironically, previously unable to approach this place, they were now being forced to come there by another’s overwhelming power.

As the purple haze drew near, the spiritual energy became even denser, and even the ordinary grass and trees here were crystalline, nurtured by the spiritual energy over time.

However, being practically herded here felt far from appreciative.

Moreover, there were three late-stage True Spirit Realm powerhouses present.

With such strength, even if they were to become ten times mightier, they would still stand no chance, let alone compete for the fortune of this place.

“This area has been sealed by the Great Array, without our permission, you cannot leave this valley,” a late-stage True Spirit Realm cultivator announced.

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes flashed with anger, but out of respect for their strength, they dared not speak.

He continued, “Now, I am giving you an opportunity. As long as you comply and cooperate with us to uncover the secrets of this place, you’ll be free to leave afterward.”

“Senior, with your power, you haven’t resolved this situation. I fear we won’t be able to do much,” a cultivator said softly.

At the conclusion of his words, a fireball struck him, instantly reducing him to ashes.

Witnessing this, the other cultivators showed complex expressions; first surprise, then shock, and finally fear.

Qiu Hu, who had nonchalantly killed a True Spirit Realm cultivator, narrowed his eyes and looked towards Lu Yun and the others, speaking indifferently, “Useless people are trash, and trash doesn’t need to stay. Now, tell me again, are you trash or not?”
