NOVPUB"Boom!"
Their fists and palms collided, generating a deep, massive explosion. Qi and blood surged wildly, and the sunlight stabbed through like spikes.
Crack crack crack!
Within the mansion, nearby buildings shook and collapsed from the impact; rocks laid on the ground were dislodged and blasted upwards.
Luo Yong’s body trembled slightly, feeling as though Gu Feiyang’s palm strike was like a giant dragon smashing into him. His qi and blood erupted in an unstoppable force. Yet, gritting his teeth, his left fist burst forth with more than three feet of brilliance, exploding like a great sun, he didn’t step back but instead chose to fight life for life!
"Boom boom boom!"
In the space of a few breaths, the two clashed several times. With each collision, their energy overflowed, and fierce winds shot out, preventing anyone from getting within thirty feet of them.
"Boom!"
Amidst the several impacts, a shadow was thrown back. Skidding across the ground, dissipating the force, it finally stopped. It was Luo Yong!
"Cough cough cough!"
Luo Yong stabilized himself, but he coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. Looking closer, his chest clothing was shattered, a deep palm imprint collapsing into his bare flesh, his entire chest caved in.
"Good!"
The Flame Dragon Guard’s experts all showed a hint of a smile at the corner of their mouths.
Luo Yong was the head of the Luo Family, indeed a top-tier martial artist, but Gu Feiyang was even more exceptional.
Being the commander of the Flame Dragon Guard not only meant the Great Flame Royal Family trusted him deeply, but since he had joined the Flame Dragon Guard from a young age, his innate talent had allowed him to sit in the commander’s position with his strength, a rare Great Grandmaster level combatant among those loyal to the royal family!
"Cough cough cough... Bloody Dragon Divine Palm, Gu Feiyang... your reputation is well-deserved!"
Luo Yong coughed violently, his veins bulging as he barely spat out the words.
"Family Head!"
All members of the Luo Family had bloodshot eyes. With their Family Head Luo Yong defeated by Flame Dragon Guard Commander Gu Feiyang, a sense of despair surged in their hearts!
With a sigh, Luo Yong looked up at the sky, his voice not loud but echoing throughout the Luo Family mansion, "Luo Huang, don’t hesitate anymore! Make your move. As long as you survive and attain the status of Martial Saint, our Luo Family can be brilliant once again. What does it matter if we become stepping stones for you?"
"Hmm?"
Su Changkong’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and Gu Feiyang also sensed something was wrong. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and struck Luo Yong’s chest with a palm.
"Crack!"
Amidst the bursting sounds, Luo Yong’s body was directly shattered by the palm, his broken torso and arms thrown outwards.
"Rumble!"
But at the same time, the entire Luo Family mansion violently shook. From deep within the earth, a stream of chaotic Spiritual Energy formed some mysterious pattern.
"Aaah!"
Piercing wails of agony rose, belonging to the Luo Family disciples. Their bodies disintegrated, flesh melting away, as if turning to ice and snow melting into the ground.
"It’s... the Refining God Array... no... no... I don’t want to die!"
Some Luo Family members wept and begged for mercy, but they were unable to resist the disintegration and dissolution of their bodies.
"What is... this?"
This eerie scene made Gu Feiyang and others furrow their brows, faintly realizing that the Luo Family had probably anticipated today’s disaster and were now making a desperate move!
Over a hundred Luo Family disciples completely melted away, leaving nothing but their bare skeletons, while their blood flowed from the depths of the earth towards the rear courtyard of the Luo Family mansion.
In the rear courtyard of the Luo Family mansion, a young man sat quietly cross-legged. Blood emerged from the ground around him, like blood snakes burrowing into his body.
The young man had a somewhat fierce expression, "Father, Second Uncle... and other clan members, I, Luo Huang, remember your sacrifice! Once I achieve the status of Martial Saint, I will surpass our ancestor, restore our clan’s glory, and also exterminate the entire Xia Yan family!"
Numerous blood-colored snakes burrowed into the young man’s body, causing veins to bulge all over him. Already possessing powerful bloodline power, after absorbing a great deal of blood from his kin, he reached a critical point. Inside his body, a sphere began to condense, one side as hot as the blazing sun, and the other as cold as the moon.
"In the backyard!"
Gu Feiyang noticed the commotion in the backyard. With one step forward, his right palm roared with blood-colored True Qi, like a domineering flying dragon, furiously bombarding the backyard.
"Roar!"
This palm strike from Gu Feiyang was truly formidable. The air itself seemed to resonate with a heaven-shaking Dragon Roar, captivating souls and effortlessly tearing through the tall courtyard walls!
In the backyard, the young man facing Gu Feiyang’s powerful strike stood up from the ground, then his right fist, as fiery as the blazing sun, furiously smashed out, like thousands of fireballs exploding simultaneously.
"Boom!"
Heatwaves swept across, making the blood-colored dragon flicker with uncertainty, and Gu Feiyang’s body trembled slightly as his Qi and Blood surged wildly within him.
The young man stood his ground; the blood light on his body gradually receded into him. He might have had unremarkable looks, but there was a faint trace of murderous intent between his brows.
"You are... Luo Huang?"
Gu Feiyang stared intently at the young man, recognizing his identity. It was Luo Huang, the most outstanding martial artist of the Luo Family, better than the best, and a target the Luo Family must eliminate. Otherwise, he would surely become a disaster!
Luo Huang did not respond verbally, but with a thought, a crystal about the size of a thumb tip appeared in the area of his Dantian. The crystal was as scorchingly hot as the sun and as softly cold as the moon, emitting an awe-inspiring majesty that sparkled fearfully.
"Is this... a Divine Seed?" Gu Feiyang’s eyes were glued to the red and silver intertwined crystal that had appeared in Luo Huang’s Dantian, and he spat out two words.
"Sun and Moon Divine Seed... Yang polarity gives birth to Yin, Sun and Moon Shine Together."
A barely concealable joy mixed with a tinge of sorrow appeared on Luo Huang’s face. This was the product of his entire Luo Family, including his father, who had exhausted all their flesh and strength to refine.
A Divine Seed contained divine powers, and just one could potentially create a Martial Saint!
Such rare Divine Seeds were usually found within extremely powerful and long-standing noble families!
What shocked Gu Feiyang was the Luo Family actually had a Divine Seed? There was no information about this in the reports!
If the Luo Family really had a Divine Seed, the Xia Yan clan would definitely not have attacked the Luo Family so easily.
"There seems to be something off about this Divine Seed of yours; it isn’t a real one, is it?"
At that moment, a voice tinged with curiosity spoke up.
"Elder Blade?" Gu Feiyang slightly turned his head, and the speaker was none other than Dao Wufeng!
Su Changkong stared at the ephemeral shadow that appeared in Luo Huang’s Dantian area, looking at it with curiosity.
Su Changkong had seen real Divine Seeds in the Chi Dragon Hall and had sensed their aura. However, based on his observation, the aura of Luo Huang’s Divine Seed was nothing like those he had encountered in the Chi Dragon Hall.
Given the bizarre scene earlier, where countless members of the Luo Family dissolved into blood, it was not hard to deduce that there was something wrong with this Divine Seed.
Luo Huang glanced indifferently at Su Changkong and calmly said, "Correct... This is a ’Blood Divine Seed’."
"Blood Divine Seed?"
Gu Feiyang frowned, for with all his wide-ranging knowledge, he had never heard of any Blood Divine Seed.
Complexity flashed through Luo Huang’s eyes: "A year ago, someone came to our Luo Family and provided us with the method to refine the Blood Divine Seed. I was hesitant to decide, but I had made preparations early on, and in the end, we had to rely on it..."
A Blood Divine Seed can only be refined with the bloodline of those from a family with Martial Saint heritage, and only those of the same family, with the same bloodline, could utilize and refine it.
With the knowledge of how to refine a Blood Divine Seed, Luo Huang’s father, Luo Yong, also supported the endeavor.
In Luo Yong’s view, the Luo Family was average among the noble families, and when chaos would arise, the Xia Yan clan might take the opportunity to settle scores for past deeds. It would be better to sacrifice for Luo Huang, the most talented and gifted of the Luo family.
If Luo Huang could use this opportunity to soar to unparalleled heights and achieve Martial Saint status amidst the turmoil, their Luo Family could be rebuilt, even more glorious than before!
Of course, while the Family Head Luo Yong agreed, if he were to inform all the family members, most likely the vast majority would not consent. Thus, Luo Yong quietly prepared to refine the Blood Divine Seed.
Succeeding in refining a Blood Divine Seed was not a certainty, and even if it did succeed, all of the Luo Family would have to be sacrificed as materials for the refinement process.
It was a tough decision to make, but facing extermination at the hands of a powerful opponent like Gu Feiyang, sent by the Xia Yan clan, the Luo Family had no other choice but to stake everything on refining the ’Blood Divine Seed’ with themselves as the materials.
Fortunately... it was a success!
