Chapter 183: Luck
Facing a strong opponent like Yu Long, Zhou Heng had absolutely no intention of resisting.
The gap was too wide.
Although he still wasn’t sure what level Yu Long was at, the danger he perceived from his spirit told him this person was definitely not soone he could resist.
He could only flee!
Even as the thought of fleeing surfaced, he imdiately activated the Luck State.
“Luck once: On this day, you will have unimaginable luck.”
He was afraid that without the Luck State, he wouldn’t be able to escape.
At that mont, Yu Long had already charged over, swinging both hands left and right, instantly obscuring the void around them, sealing off the space here.
There was no escape, nowhere to run.
Crack, crack, crack!!
The sound of the void being torn apart rang out, just like glass being forcefully and harshly shattered. Wherever Yu Long’s hands passed, tiny fissures appeared in space, twisting and spreading, filled with the aura of destruction.
Wang Xiuye and Chu Qingchuan didn’t even have ti to react and were crushed into pieces by the swipe of these palms, and then their bodies were ground into minced at by the spreading destructive force of the space.
However, the two of them were not ordinary martial artists after all; they clearly possessed secret treasures that could take their place in death.
A dull yellow mist flickered “over” Wang Xiuye, and a layer of red lightning flashed “over” Chu Qingchuan’s body, and then the “corpses” of both disappeared without a trace.
It seems they returned to a previously recorded “resurrection point.”
“Life-saving treasure?” Yu Long’s face darkened, he humd coldly, “If I were still a Celestial Man, such things would be utterly useless!”
At this ti, his swinging hands had already arrived in front of Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng was about to be caught and turned into at paste just like Wang Xiuye and Chu Qingchuan, but his figure strangely slid to the left, very luckily slipping out of the confined space.
And in doing so, he also dodged Yu Long’s attack.
“How is this possible?” Yu Long looked astonished, sowhat in disbelief.
He was just trying to kill an Eighth Rank martial artist, it’s impossible for his attack to miss, this shouldn’t be happening!
“Interesting!” Yu Long’s eyes narrowed slightly as he pointed at Zhou Heng, “I don’t believe you can escape this way!”
His mana burst forth from his fingertips.
He tried to impact Zhou Heng’s internal energy and blood, aiming to explode him into pieces.
But before this burst of mana even left his fingertip, he felt that his Primordial Spirit was experiencing the extrely rare “Unsteadiness of the Dwelling.”
——A Loose Immortal’s body is founded upon rare divine materials after the essence of Taoist law is amalgamated and then re-condensed.
After all, this was not the original body, and there would inevitably be a gap between the Primordial Spirit and the divine materials.
Therefore, there are tis when “Unsteadiness of the Dwelling” occurs, manifesting as a gap between mana and the Primordial Spirit, making it difficult to operate smoothly.
However, this situation usually only appears once in a thousand years.
And even if it occurred, it would last for a very short ti, typically just a few breaths, and there would be signs of it for over a decade in advance, so for a Loose Immortal, this isn’t much of a problem.
But now, Yu Long felt that this condition arose on his body without any signs, and the degree of unsteadiness was quite severe, it actually caused his burst of mana to collapse and dissipate.
“This, this is absurd!” Yu Long raged, and without holding back any longer, his Divine Sense suddenly spread out, instantly covering a thousand-mile void, and the natural energies of heaven and earth boiled over for it.
Boom, boom, boom!!
The weather within a thousand miles changed, abruptly turning from day to night.
Cataclysmic montum swept across the void, stirring up fierce winds, and an imnse, unparalleled terrifying force condensed in the sky above, crashing down instantly.
“I want to see what tricks you have left!” Yu Long’s gaze was icy cold as if he intended to crush everything within a thousand miles into dust.
…
Inside the Tian suite at the Xinmiao Inn.
He ngqiu was originally explaining so of the finer points of the Three Dreams Dharma to Yun Xiu, using the process of her prior defeat of Ma Quan as an example, breaking down the martial arts principles involved in every step.
Her trip to pull Ma Quan into the dreamscape wasn’t just to protect Zhou Heng.
In fact, it was more for the sake of instructing Yun Xiu. The reason Ma Quan was able to regain consciousness in the dreamscape was also intentional, so that Yun Xiu could understand what an enemy waking up in the dreamscape would be like.
Otherwise, with her level of Divine Soul, she could easily cause Ma Quan to perish silently; a re Sixth Rank martial artist had absolutely no chance of resisting in her dreamscape.
But just as she was explaining, He ngqiu’s expression abruptly changed, and she looked toward the city center, exclaiming in shock, “Such a degree of disturbance in the natural energies of heaven and earth, this, this is a Loose Immortal casting spells!”
She sensed that the natural qi between heaven and earth was vibrating violently, as if an impeccably still lake suddenly had an enormous vortex appear, gathering and condensing it into an incredibly refined force, intending to crush everything here.
“Loose, Loose Immortal?” Yun Xiu turned pale upon hearing this, exclaiming in shock, “Is it like the powerful Loose Immortal from the ti at Yuanhe Prefecture City?”
“No, stronger!” He ngqiu shook her head.
Imdiately, she stopped talking, sat cross-legged, and a blend of illusory and real dreamscape erged behind her, rushing toward the sky.
…
Zhou Heng gave up on escaping.
Because he had already determined that this Yu Long, who seemingly ca from nowhere, was most likely a Loose Immortal not inferior to the Great Saintly rciful Immortal.
Even with Luck State, all sorts of coincidences occur that allow one to dodge attacks that would otherwise be fatal. But there will eventually co a ti when one cannot dodge.
After all, luck does not conjure opportunities out of thin air; it still has to follow certain patterns.
Now that Yu Long has unleashed his full power and is drawing in a massive amount of elental energy from within thousands of miles to destroy everything in this area, there is no use for luck, no matter how fortunate he might be.
Even with high agility, there is no escape from an all-encompassing area attack.
“However, he’s currently drawing upon the elental energy and seems too preoccupied to attack ?” Zhou Heng’s heart stirred slightly, and he made a split-second decision to use a special skill card.
This was an excellent opportunity!
A five-colored radiance began to ascend from the palm of his hand.
The Five-Colored Divine Light!
Gathering!
But at that mont, the corners of Yu Long’s mouth suddenly curled into a cold sneer.
At the sa ti, the image of Yu Long in Zhou Heng’s eyes suddenly changed.
His entire being instantaneously turned into a hazy, indistinct phantom, twinkling with the light of green jade, each ray intertwined with the principles of the great Tao, exuding an incredibly profound aura.
With just one glance, Zhou Heng felt an endless stream of complex information flood his brain. The casting of the Five-Colored Divine Light was imdiately interrupted, and his head exploded on the spot with a loud bang.
There was no room for resistance!
Even with that unimaginably fortunate luck, there was no way to withstand the force of such a ntal assault.
A Loose Immortal like Yu Long was far too powerful for Zhou Heng as he was now.
Fortunately, he still had a Life-saving Talisman.
With a flash of brilliance,
Zhou Heng appeared inside a rented room in Huangtong Mansion City, his face extrely grim as he clenched his teeth and said,
“Yu Long!
“Use Projection Card!
“Project ‘Celestial Man Yan Shouyi’!
“Open all Fortune Bags!
“Open the Platinum Treasure Box!
“Use the Martial Arts Proficiency Gift Pack!”
…
Yu Long dispersed the elental energy he had gathered for miles around, and the extraordinary visions dissipated with it.
“I thought you would summon the projection of Yan Shouyi. I didn’t expect you would actually kill the Great Saintly rciful’s Five-Colored Divine Light – such a way to manifest the true intent of the great Tao. Can you even still use such a thod?” Yu Long mused as he hovered in the sky, looking at the place where Zhou Heng had vanished, his brow furrowed in thought.
In the days he had been to this mortal world, while he searched for the aura of “Ziwei”, he naturally didn’t focus only on that but also gathered information.
After confirming that “Ziwei” was indeed Zhou Heng, Yu Long had made a more detailed study of him.
He was the reincarnation of an ancient power, with fallbacks left from a previous life, capable of using so inconceivable thods, such as the Five Thunder Righteous thod, Five-Colored Divine Light, Resurrection, Projection, and so on, which he had learned through various channels.
The most dangerous aspect he perceived was Zhou Heng’s ability to summon the projection of Yan Shouyi.
A Celestial Man is, after all, a true Land Immortal.
Even just a projection is beyond comparison with his existence as a Loose Immortal, which is why he had specially commissioned a Loose Immortal skilled in this area to forge a secret treasure for him.
His pretense of being unable to act while gathering elental energy was just “fishing,” hoping to lure Zhou Heng into summoning the projection of Yan Shouyi. However, he had not expected Zhou Heng to actually use the Five-Colored Divine Light.
To avoid wasting maneuvers and further interference from that bizarre luck, Yu Long directly manifested part of his true form, delivering an overwhelmingly powerful ntal assault that burst Zhou Heng’s head on the spot.
“Having manifested my true form just now, the Zhou Tian Boundary Officer must be aware of it, and there isn’t much ti left,” Yu Long thought inwardly. “The direction of the Life-saving Talisman’s light… was it Huangtong Mansion?
“Heh, interesting. I wonder if Lian Feng has arrived… Cang Hua seems to have designs on that city; I should take a look.”
Afterward, he stepped out, covering a hundred miles in an instant, and after a dozen steps, he arrived outside Huangtong Mansion City.
He saw two brilliant lights colliding and flashing across the sky above.
Black and white clashing, making the sky quake and the earth tremble. Elental energy within hundreds of miles was in complete chaos, distant mountains collapsed one after another, and the whole Huangtong Mansion City seed on the verge of falling.
A great Grandmaster was battling with a Ghost Immortal!
Above the city, layers of dark clouds were gathering, and a force filled with chilling, destructive, and deadly auras was rising from beneath the city.
At the sa ti, a finger-like phantom appeared amidst the surging negative auras, and this re phantom seed to be crushing the void into cracks.
“Haha, I’ve co upon quite a spectacle,” Yu Long laughed, clapping his hands, ready to step forward, when his expression suddenly turned serious.
He saw a stream of Five-Colored Divine Light burst from Huangtong Mansion City!
This beam of Divine Light spanned the cosmos, veiling heaven and earth, suppressing mountains and rivers, unifying the five elents, and arresting all creation!!
And a plain-looking Taoist, exuding a scholarly aura,
Was stepping through the air!!
