“`
When the God-Killing Blade swept past, he distinctly felt a strong resistance.
The Sea of Consciousness was here.
Boom!
Over twenty God-Killing Blades furiously struck the crystal sphere.
“Woo! Woo!” The fierce beast roared angrily in the Heavenly River, its body covered with incredibly thick scale armor, terrifying Thunder Power brewing on its body and stirring up towering waves.
Its claws were even faster and more ferocious, wildly attacking Lu Yun’s body, and its enormous tail, carrying massive amounts of river water, slammed towards the evading Lu Yun.
As Lu Yun dodged, he simultaneously controlled the God-Killing Blades to assault the fierce beast’s Sea of Consciousness.
“No good, such terrifying defense, I can’t break through at all,” Lu Yun’s expression drastically changed.
Enduring the terrible curse backlash with a grimace, he clenched his teeth and exclaimed, “I’ll stake it all!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Another dozen or so God-Killing Blades burst forth, penetrating the fierce beast’s Physical Body and continuously lunging at the crystal defense of the Sea of Consciousness.
Given the strength and defense of this beast, even if he used the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength and the Great Sun Undying Golden Body, he would not be a match. The only thing he could do was to use the God-Killing Blade to distract most of its attention, then leverage the causality spirit body to look for an opportunity to seize that stone imbued with rich Thunder Power.
“Master, it has fallen into a frenzy. You draw its attention head-on, and leave the rest to me.”
With those words, the causality spirit body moved through the surging waves, rapidly approaching the fierce beast.
Interwoven around him were threads of the Way of Cause and Effect, preventing the Curse from invading his body and thus posing no threat to him.
The causality spirit body could not only use the Way of Cause and Effect to keep itself unaffected by the Curse, but it could also strip away the Curse from the master’s body, which is why Lu Yun dared to attempt seizing the stone.
The beast, with a body as large as a small island, was busy dealing with the God-Killing Blades assaulting its Sea of Consciousness and swinging its sharp claws and thick tail to attack Lu Yun, yet it failed to notice a figure slowly drawing closer.
With its strength and heightened perception, it should have been impossible for an enemy to approach within ten zhang of itself.
But the causality spirit body was special—it couldn’t completely strip away its existence, but it could make the enemy overlook its presence for a short period.
He dodged the Thunder strikes, gently landing on the head of the fierce beast.
On the surface of the Heavenly River, the Curse was dense to the extreme, yet it could not affect him.
He located the stone, nestled between the scale armor on the beast’s head.
The stone appeared to have fallen on the beast not long ago—there wasn’t much dirt around it, and it wasn’t very stable. As the beast’s body continued to shake, the stone gradually started to fall out from between the scales.
If the causality spirit body had been any slower, the stone likely would have fallen out from the scales.
In that case, it would certainly have dropped into the Heavenly River and been swept away by the undercurrents. Even if the causality spirit body wasn’t afraid of the Curse, it wouldn’t dare to search for it in the Heavenly River.
Nobody knew if the Curse in the river was as potent as the one on the surface, or if it could break through the obstruction of the threads of Cause and Effect.
The Heavenly River was too mysterious; if not necessary, Lu Yun did not want to take that risk, even after entering the upstream part of the river he maintained a certain distance from it.
“Here’s my chance.”
Just as the fierce beast fiercely tumbled, the stone finally fell from the cold, gleaming scales. The causality spirit body flashed into action, swiftly catching it and then with a fierce stomp on the beast’s body, catapulted itself into the air.
“Awoo!”
The fierce beast, feeling offended, became utterly frenzied. It ceased attacking Lu Yun and its massive tail directly struck at the causality spirit body.
“Hmph, your opponent is me,” Lu Yun bellowed, as endless Thunder Power erupted from his hands, transforming into spears of Thunder that bombarded down, all targeting the beast’s body.
Although it did not break through its defenses, it caused the beast’s body to pause, and the causality spirit body successfully made its escape.
“`
The Demon Wings flapped, and Lu Yun transformed into a blaze of fiery red light, vanishing swiftly from above the Heavenly River.
“Aooo…” The Fierce Beast roared madly, stirring up giant waves dozens of feet high, furiously sweeping both banks.
Regrettably, those two detestable humans soon disappeared from its sight.
…
Having moved far away, Lu Yun found a relatively safe place. His body staggered, and he almost couldn’t help but fall to the ground.
By now, his face was entirely covered with the patterns of the Curse, even spreading throughout his body.
He had only stayed above the Heavenly River for a few dozen breaths, but the Curse was so potent that, coupled with fighting with all his might, the assault of the Curse on him was particularly severe.
It was fortunate that his physique was strong enough to bear such a heavy backlash of the Curse.
Had it been anyone else, not to mention patterns spreading throughout the body, just reaching the neck would have meant being tortured to death by the backlash of the Curse.
He and the Way of Cause and Effect Spirit Body sat cross-legged, palm touching palm, invisible threads of the Way of Cause and Effect enveloping him. The threads slowly seeped into his body, like a large hand, pulling out streams of black smoke from Lu Yun’s physical body.
This was the Curse from the Heavenly River, terrifying indeed. Even the Way of Cause and Effect Spirit Body found it very difficult to peel off.
The principal self, in this process, endured an extreme level of pain.
After the Curse had been peeled away, the patterns on his body slowly receded. Lu Yun was as if he had been through a tremendous battle, extremely weak.
The pain of peeling off the Curse was secondary; the main reason was the backlash he had endured from the Curse, as well as the consumption of his consciousness.
…
In the middle and upper reaches of the Heavenly River.
Han Zhong’s Divine Body Armor gleamed with dazzling rosy light, his body golden yellow like a giant gold-winged peng, diving forward to attack. The fierce wind was piercingly cold, causing the ground to crack.
Among those besieging him, a young man was also aglow, but slightly different. This person was not clad in battle armor, but relied on his powerful strength and swiftness, wherever he went, huge rocks and stout trees exploded into pieces.
After hundreds of exchanges without finding a way to escape, Han Zhong’s face looked extremely displeased, his eyebrows almost furling into a ‘川’ character.
If he continued to fight like this, even with his Divine Bone and armor, he would end up exhausted to death. He was considering whether to use the Heavenly River to escape.
The Heavenly River was mysterious, containing an ancient Curse. It was one of the most dangerous places in the Heavenly End Secret Realm. To some extent, its perils far exceeded the habitats of those well-known Fierce Beasts in the Secret Realm.
Especially for those older individuals, the danger was even greater.
“I possess a Divine Bone, unparalleled in physique, and the Curse will be much lighter due to my weaker cultivation level. As long as I don’t get too close, there shouldn’t be too much danger,” he mused.
With that thought, Han Zhong made a decision to shift the battlefield to the shores of the Heavenly River.
Gu Xuan, sensing Han Zhong’s intent, dashed with increased speed, aiming to cut him off.
The other disciples of Tianxing Mountain also transformed into streaks of light, attempting to block him.
If Han Zhong broke through the encirclement, their assault attempt would be in vain.
After all, even with their hatred for Han Zhong, they wouldn’t risk their lives. The Curse of the Heavenly River, for anyone, was like a dangling sharp blade, not to be approached lightly.
Though they were all at the Second and Third levels of the True Spirit Realm in terms of cultivation, in terms of speed and strength, they were not as good as the weaker-cultivated Han Zhong, who quickly broke through their siege.
After breaking out, Gu Xuan pursued closely, his figure bursting with the terror of a comet.
Han Zhong accelerated as well, his Divine Body Armor burning like fire, spewing out golden runes that tremendously increased his speed, gradually pulling away from Gu Xuan.
“Tianxing Mountain, I, Han Zhong, will remember this. When my Divine Body reaches great accomplishment, I will surely come asking for an explanation,” he said, casting a deep look behind him at Gu Xuan and the other Tianxing Mountain disciples, leaving behind harsh words before hesitating no longer and plunging into the mists that shrouded the riverbank of the Heavenly River.
Hearing the threat, Gu Xuan’s face turned ugly. He wanted to pursue but hearing the roaring sounds of the Heavenly River and sensing the pervasive terror of Thunder Power, he ultimately hesitated. He did not follow.
