Chapter 726: Chapter 722: The Three Disasters Chapter 726: Chapter 722: The Three Disasters “You really think I dare not fight back!” Anger rose in Shen Luo’s heart, with the Sea-Anchoring Iron Rod in his hand casting a radiant golden light, ready again to use the Splashy Chaotic Stick technique.
However, the pitch black bone claw was too fast. It grabbed the Sea-Anchoring Iron Rod before he could unleash his stick technique.
Imdiately, the iron rod was immobilized. However, Shen Luo didn’t show a flinch, as a streak of golden light shot out of his sleeve, binding the black skeleton firmly. It was his unfinished Golden Rope.
“Golden Rope!” The black skeleton exclaid in surprise. Its body flashed with black light and grew several tis larger.
But the Golden Rope soon radiated thousands of golden lights, expanding with the black skeleton, holding it tightly, without breaking.
Yet the black skeleton flashed again with black light, and its several-ters tall body shrank by more than ten tis in an instant.
The diminishing speed was extrely fast, by countless tis faster than the earlier expansion. In a blink of an eye, it transford from a gigantic skeleton into a dwarf-sized creature.
But the Golden Rope also imdiately shrank, sticking to the skeleton, without being torn apart even slightly.
“Die!” Shen Luo sneered, as his eyes turned slightly red. He waved the Sea-Anchoring iron rod in his hand, and sixty-four rod shadows appeared around the black skeleton, furiously strangling it.
The black skeleton showed no sign of imminent danger, instead it gazed at Shen Luo’s red eyes, a strange light flashing in its dark, hollow sockets.
But in the next mont, the sixty-four rod shadows radiated with an intense golden light, engulfing the black skeleton.
With a resounding explosion, the black skeleton shattered into pieces, turning into countless fragnts in the sky, utterly destroyed in the onslaught.
Seeing this, Shen Luo couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Although he had full confidence in his Sea-Anchoring Iron Rod and the Splashy Chaotic Stick techniques, he didn’t expect to slay this powerful being of the Taiyi Realm with a single strike.
Just at this mont, with a sharp squeal, a black shadow zipped towards Shen Luo like a bolt of lightning – it was the skull of the black skeleton– and it arrived in front of him in a blink, opening its mouth to spew out sothing.
A fog-like black light shot out, aiming straight for his face.
Shen Luo’s face changed dramatically. Although he didn’t know what this black Qi was, he knew it definitely wasn’t anything good.
Golden light shimred around him, a golden light curtain appeared in front of him, and his feet emitted intense moonlight vibration, as he rapidly retreated backwards.
The black Qi collided with the golden light curtain, imdiately being deflected without causing any impact.
Upon seeing this, Shen Luo didn’t relax. Instead, his eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
He wouldn’t be foolish enough to consider the black skeleton’s final counterattack to be weak. There must be so trick to this black Qi.
“Black Qi…” Suddenly in Shen Luo’s mind, it reminded him of a black bottle he had found in the ruins of the Treasure Hall. The bottle had also once emitted a black Qi which was very similar to the black Qi he was currently facing.
His expression drastically changed, and he ford a seal intending to withdraw the golden light curtain. However, he was one step too late. The black Qi had already attached itself to the light curtain and disappeared within it.
Shen Luo felt a warm sensation, as a strange force poured into his body. His mana couldn’t resist it at all. The experience was similar to when the black Qi entered his body in the ruins, but this ti it felt much stronger.
As he was thinking of a counterasure, this strange force suddenly erupted, turning into a cold and suppressive killing intent.
This aura was extrely strange. It was neither Yin Qi, Demonic Qi nor any tangible cold forces. It was intangible and seed not to have substance, yet it truly existed.
Black Qi appeared around him, wrapping like black smoke, making him look fierce and murderous, like a mad killer.
Realizing his condition, Shen Luo felt an inexplicable irritation, and a strong desire for slaughter surged in his heart.
Rumble!
The sky above suddenly changed with swirling black clouds that engulfed the entire sky. In the clouds, electric snakes danced wildly, and an overwhelming aura seeped out, firmly locking onto Shen Luo.
Shen Luo was startled. What was happening? How had he triggered a thunder tribulation? His cultivation level hadn’t broken through, and the strength of the tribulation cloud was far more forceful than the one he had faced when he ascended to the True Immortal Realm years ago.
“Could it be the advent of the three calamities?” A passage he had previously read in a classic text suddenly surfaced in Shen Luo’s mind.
The so-called three calamities are the three trials that cultivators who have reached the True Immortal Realm or higher must face. Once one has cultivated to the True Immortal Realm, they have an extrely long lifespan and can basically have a lifespan parallel to that of Heaven and Earth.
However, eternal life is a secret of the creation of Heaven and Earth. True Immortal cultivators are essentially seizing the creation of Heaven and Earth and infringing upon the mysteries of the sun and the moon. They are not tolerated by gods and demons, hence tribulations co.
Among the three calamities, one was the thunder disaster.
However, when he had read that classic, he was still far from reaching the True Immortal Realm, so he had not paid much attention to it.
Shen Luo greatly regretted this, but regret was of no use now.
“Wait, this thunder disaster chose this particular ti to co. It’s too coincidental. Could that black qi have triggered it?” He suddenly rembered sothing and felt that sothing wasn’t right.
However, now that the thunder disaster had co, Shen Luo could not afford to pay attention to other things. He reached out and grabbed the Sea-Anchoring Iron Rod, preparing to resist.
At that mont, a golden light suddenly flashed over him, and the fragnt of the Heavenly Scroll flew out of nowhere and hung above his head.
A golden glow shot out from the scroll, enveloping the black qi surrounding him.
With a soft “click”, the Heavenly Scroll suddenly opened.
The black qi around Shen Luo trembled and disappeared completely. The tribulation clouds in the sky quickly dissipated, and the Heavenly Scroll returned to his hand.
His eyes widened. He didn’t understand what had just happened, but he quickly grabbed the golden rope and the Sea-Anchoring Iron Rod and spread his arms open.
From his two arms emanated a powerful golden and silver light. In an instant, he transford into a golden and silver phantom and shot forward at a horrifying speed, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Behind Shen Luo, in the void, the skull silently watched Shen Luo’s figure fade in the distance, a look of surprise on its face.
“This is Peng Demon King’s Thousand-mile Wing Flapping Technique! How does this human know it?” The skull muttered to itself.
Black light flickered on the skull, and the bones shattered by the Sea-Anchoring Iron Rod flew back, quickly reforming into a complete skeleton that showed no signs of damage, reattaching itself to the black skull.
Right at this mont, three escape lights flew from behind. They belonged to the Eagle Demon, the Black Tiger demon creature, and Manager Ma.
“Honorable One! Has the enemy been dealt with? Who spied on our conversation?” The Black Tiger demon creature asked first, looking around as if searching for the enemy’s body.
“No, he got away,” said the black skull, nonchalantly.
“What!” The Black Tiger demon creature, Eagle Demon, and Manager Ma all looked shocked and incredulous.
“What do we do now? Should we chase him? The existence of the blood pool must not be noticed,” the Black Tiger demon creature asked.
“The conversation we had was not a secret, so it doesn’t matter if he overheard. And as for the blood pool, indeed, it should not be known. Since most of the wild beasts around Black Wolf Mountain have been caught, it’s a good chance for us to change our base,” said the Black skull.
“Yes,” both the Black Tiger Demon Creature and Eagle Demon nodded, agreeing.
“You two leave first, Ma Zhong stay.” The black skull ordered.
“Yes, sir,” both the Black Tiger Demon Creature and Eagle Demon acknowledged and withdrew, leaving only Manager Ma.
“Master,” Manager Ma stepped forward.
“Give a detailed report of your encounter with that man at the Treasure Hall Ruins,” the black skull commanded quietly.
