375Chapter 215: Wan Lian Falls, Full-scale Pursuit
Translator: 549690339
“The runes I’ve imbued your bodies with should be enough to let you escape the battlefield to a distance of thousands of miles. Flee with all your might!”
As this voice fell, Wan Lian, the Supreme Elder of White Lotus Sect, a Golden Core Realm mid-stage expert, her body shattered in the air like a fragmenting mirror.
She was not killed by the joint effort of Linghu Dao and his two companions nor did she self-destruct, but chose a method of self-dissolution.
At the same time, on the fierce battlefield, some of the White Lotus Sect disciples who had integrated with the runes transformed into streaks of light and quickly disappeared from the battleground.
This move signified the complete collapse of the White Lotus Sect.
Upon seeing this, the remaining White Lotus Sect experts started fleeing in earnest, retreating toward the periphery of the battlefield.
However.
Retreating won’t be so easy for them.
Linghu Dao withdrew his Golden Core and stood calmly in the sky, his golden eyes surveying the entire battlefield. His majestic voice reached every Demon Suppression Army soldier and Martial Artist of Morigin.
“Issue my command: kill the remaining White Lotus Sect scum to the last man. We shall leave no more troubles.”
After he spoke, his gigantic figure wreathed in golden light surged forward, taking the initiative to slay the fleeing White Lotus Sect Rune Seed Realm experts.
A terrifying golden palm, filled with a boundless majestic power, caused the White Lotus Sect Rune Seed Realm expert to change his expression.
He wanted to resist, but against the attack of a Golden Core Realm expert, he simply couldn’t…
There was no time to dodge. With space locked down and the suppressive force descending, that horrifying power smashed directly onto his body, shattering his flesh, and exploding his Rune Seed. Blood rained down everywhere.
The next instant, Master Changkong and Heavenly Level Demon Extermination General Dugu Yuan also launched their attacks.
Golden Core Realm experts slaughtering Rune Seed Realm experts were like crushing ants.
On the other side, while the White Lotus Sect was collapsing and fleeing, the battle in the depths of the sky was still ongoing, but outsiders could no longer see the ongoing scene within it.
Only a faint outline could be seen; Wei Tianlun’s huge figure sitting on the Azure Profound Demon-Suppressing Ding, remaining motionless.
As the White Lotus Sect Leader, one of the top experts among the Hundred Sects, Situ Sha would not be easily subdued and refined. He was still resisting silently.
Or rather, he was restraining Wei Tianlun, a top Golden Core Realm combatant.
On the battlefield, there were no more White Lotus Sect Golden Core Realm True Masters left. The Rune Seed Realm experts were preoccupied with their own survival, and Lu Yun finally made his move again.
His target was still the Gold Body Realm experts below the half-step Rune Seed Realm.
After searching for a moment, his target locked onto a Gold Body Realm later-stage expert who was caught up by a Black-rank Demon Exterminator. “It’s you!”
With a soft cry, Lu Yun’s figure disappeared in the distance.
Immediately after, in the next instant, he reappeared at that battlefield.
The vast Primordial Sea surged, and with a flick of his finger, space trembled. Streaks of extreme light sped out, sometimes resembling dragons and snakes, a Vermillion Bird, or a White Tiger.
In the end, it transformed into a golden star and crashed down with a resounding boom.
At the same time, the Gold Body Realm later-stage Martial Artist enveloped by the Formless Tribulation Finger changed color drastically.
He wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.
Under the cover of the Formless Tribulation Finger, his body was bound by a terrifying force. In less than half a breath, extreme light pierced through his body.
This Gold Body Realm later-stage expert was submerged in the extreme light.
By the time the extreme light vanished, he had completely lost his vitality. His flesh had a massive gaping wound.
Once again unleashing the Formless Tribulation Finger, the display of power greatly exceeded Lu Yun’s expectations.
The Black-rank Demon Exterminator was stunned. He looked at the White Lotus Sect expert who had collapsed before him and then at Lu Yun, who had suddenly appeared.
He shouldn’t have given up his prey, and he shouldn’t have given up his spoils. But now, he couldn’t bring himself to mind.
The strong opponent he had fought for so long was killed with a casual flick of a finger by Lu Yun.
Moreover, the finger that pierced the sky had just flown past him.
At first, he even thought the finger was aimed at him.
In that moment, he doubted whether he would die under that terrifying power.
Such strength was even more terrifying than that of a half-step Rune Seed Realm expert.
Even compared to a true Rune Seed Realm expert, there might not be much difference.
“Thank you, General!”
Lu Yun bowed slightly, and then, in front of the other, collected the Sumi Ring left behind by the White Lotus Sect Gold Body Realm expert.
He wiped away the imprint, looked over it briefly, and revealed a satisfied expression.
Then, he started looking for his next target again.
He used the same technique, thrusting a finger from a distance.
In just a dozen breaths, another Gold Body Realm Martial Artist perished completely.
The Morigin Martial Artists and Demon Suppression Army experts who had their kills stolen by Lu Yun halfway wore complex expressions.
They wanted to say something, but when the words reached their lips, they couldn’t speak a word.
The terrifying strength displayed by Lu Yun and his youthful appearance were a deterrent for anyone.
Losing a kill wasn’t important, but offending a monster-like genius at the level of a Saint Child would be more than anyone could bear.
Moreover, if Lu Yun didn’t take action, they might not have been able to take down their opponents in such a short time, and it was even questionable if they could have held them off at all.
In truth, Lu Yun didn’t want to act so ostentatiously.
However, the fleeing experts of the White Lotus Sect were being watched by the Demon Suppression Army soldiers and Morigin Martial Artists. It wouldn’t be easy for him to act in a straightforward manner if he wanted to quickly earn Demon-Extermination Points and spoils from the battlefield.
Of course, Lu Yun wasn’t the arrogant type. He wouldn’t interfere if it was evident that someone could easily overpower or was about to kill their opponent.
He would only step in if it was clear that someone was lacking in strength, or the outcome was hard to determine between the opponents in a short time.
So, Lu Yun rushed through the battlefield, defeating one Golden Body Realm expert after another. His Demon-Extermination Points on the Demon-Extermination Token were approaching the 20,000 mark.
However, as the White Lotus Sect collapsed, more and more experts fled the battlefield, scattering in all directions. Despite Lu Yun’s incredible speed, he could only pursue in one direction.
“Run!”
With one elder after another from the White Lotus Sect being killed, the sect’s members were chilled to the bone.
They secretly resented that the Supreme Elder had not provided them with Runes or allowed them to leave the battlefield earlier before he died.
Soldiers of the Demon Suppression Army, as well as the Martial Artists of Morigin, advanced, stepping on the corpses of the White Lotus Sect members. Along the way, there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The White Lotus Sect experts, who had once been so proud, now had their arrogance shattered.
With the successive fall of the powerful sect members, they now fled in complete disarray.
Lu Yun, clad in a Purple Black Star Robe, swept through them like a demon, creating thunderous booms. His golden Yuan Hai engulfed everything like a tidal wave, exploding everything in its path.
Since he couldn’t find suitable targets, Lu Yun lowered his standards and began to mercilessly hunt down White Lotus Sect members at the Origin Fluid Realm and below.
He had become accustomed to life and death. Having reached the 7th level of the fifth rank in the Slaughter Conception, he showed no mercy or hesitation as he executed one attack after another. His attacks seemed to blend life and death, causing vast numbers of White Lotus Sect Martial Artists to fall.
In this moment, he seemed to transform into an unparalleled killing god – his face cold and calm. With one movement, nine colossal golden swords flew out, forming a golden sea that drowned the entire mountainous region, making it impossible for the people caught within to escape.
Even those Origin Fluid Realm Martial Artists flying close to the ground could not avoid their fate.
Witnessing Lu Yun’s demonic arrival, the hair on the heads of the remaining White Lotus Sect Martial Artists stood on end. Was this the extent of an Origin Fluid Realm Martial Artist’s power? How could it be so terrifying? Even the absolute limit of the Origin Fluid Realm didn’t possess such daunting might.
This young man, who was even younger than some of them, stood in a world beyond their reach – a seemingly divine existence.
They simply could not compete, the gap between them was too wide. Even if they exhausted all their methods, they would not be able to survive.
“Ah…”
“Run quickly! Only a peak Golden Body Realm expert can fight against this young demon king. We are not his match!”
Desperately fleeing for their lives, the White Lotus Sect Martial Artists saw streaks of golden light flying towards them, each one taking countless lives.
Those soldiers of the Demon Suppression Army and the Martial Artists from Morigin who had followed Lu Yun were all dumbfounded by the sight of him slaughtering the sect members without any trace of mercy.
It was bad enough that he had snatched kills from other Golden Body Realm experts, but now he didn’t even leave them the smallest fries – simply infuriating!
However, these complaints could only be buried deep in their hearts, and they could only watch as Lu Yun marched on with overwhelming dominance, reaping the Demon-Extermination Points that should have been theirs.
“Pfft!”
One by one, the Origin Fluid Realm and Transforming Origin Realm Martial Artists fell, their blood splattering on the ground as their bodies lay sprawled across plains and forests. No one could stop Lu Yun’s advance.
At this moment, two powerful presences from the Golden Body Realm appeared, attempting to stop Lu Yun.
“You’ve arrived just in time!”
Lu Yun roared, his Yuan Hai raging, and the golden light flooded the sky. His right hand was clenched into a fist while his left hand pointed.
Like the sun hanging high in the sky, the colossal fist and extreme light directly caused the two White Lotus Sect Golden Body Realm experts to fall.
In a blink of an eye, he snatched their Sumi Rings and checked his
Demon-Extermination Token, seeing the Demon-Extermination Points had reached 23,000.
After killing several hundred White Lotus Sect Martial Artists at the Origin Fluid Realm or below, he had barely gained 1,000 to 2,000
Demon-Extermination Points.
But killing two Golden Body Realm experts instantly earned him around 2,000 points.
From this, it was clear that if one wanted to gain a massive amount of
Demon-Extermination Points, they could only kill the more powerful enemies.
Unfortunately, experts at Golden Body Realm and above were not easy to come by, especially after an intense battle where many had fallen.
Furthermore, with the complete collapse of the White Lotus Sect, the remaining experts were scattered and difficult to encounter.
“Now that I’ve reached the limit of the Origin Fluid Realm, I must prepare for the Golden Core Realm. I also need to practice the Great Sun Golden Body, which will require a vast amount of resources in the future…”
After pondering for a while, Lu Yun continued to pursue and kill his fleeing targets.
The further he chased, the greater the danger he encountered.
However, with the White Lotus Sect on the verge of complete defeat and the Demon Suppression Army and Morigin’s Martial Artists in hot pursuit, even if he encountered a stronger opponent, he would only need to hold on for a short while before receiving assistance.
Taking this into account, he laid his concerns to rest.
Not long after, he caught up with a Golden Body Realm Late-stage expert, who he defeated with a few swift punches.
With a strength equivalent to five million pounds and his vast 100 feet Yuan Hai’s power, an average late-stage Golden Body Realm expert could not withstand his attacks.
After chasing thousands of miles outside the battlefield, he encountered a peak Golden Body Realm expert.
Within a few breaths, the void trembled, and an unwilling roar echoed across the region.
Immediately, a seriously injured expert who had been struck out of the air fell from the sky.
A streak of lightning flashed by in an instant.
“Even peak Golden Body Realm experts can’t withstand more than a few moves from him now?”
Watching Lu Yun’s swift departure, Lei Canghe’s eyes sparkled with a touch of amusement.
While pursuing the remnants of the defeated White Lotus Sect, Lei Canghe also chose to pursue in the same direction as Lu Yun for some reason. Finally, he witnessed the events that had just unfolded.
Moreover, judging by Lu Yun’s battle prowess, Lei Canghe, who had condensed a mid-grade Rune Seed, felt a vague sense of danger.
“When we return to the Martial Academy, I wonder what the master will think when he hears about Lu Yun’s strength,” Lei Canghe murmured to himself before hurrying after Lu Yun..
