NOVPUBChapter 721 -339: Harvest, Star Core
Boom!
Flames soared to the sky, melting the solid ground; even the demonic qi was evaporated by the Profound Sun Storm.
One Jiuyou Demon after another was swallowed by the flames almost instantaneously, dying silently.
Only that humanoid Jiuyou Demon was able to resist the licks of fire by churning demonic qi all over its body.
Below, Yu Hanguang and others were within the Yin Yang Tao Map. When Lu Yi used his Arts, they were spared, standing on the only patch of ground not turned into magma.
Otherwise, even the Yin Yang Tao Map might not have held up for long against the Profound Sun Storm unleashed in a continuous eruption by Lu Yi.
Even so, Yu Hanguang and his companions still felt the terrifying heat.
Watching the ground turn to magma, Yu Hanguang was dumbfounded, frozen in place.
After all, to prevent the Jiuyou Demons from breaking through the Jiuyou Battlefield, each battlefield had been reinforced by the Yu Family Ancestor, capable of withstanding tremendous destruction.
To cause such horrific devastation, had the might of this Art reached the Immortal Monarch Realm?!
Could this really be the work of a Profound Immortal cultivator?!
Yu Hanguang simply couldn’t understand it.
It wasn’t just Yu Hanguang who was baffled. The humanoid Jiuyou Demon found it just as unbelievable, struggling to fend off the flames as its demonic qi rapidly dissipated under the ferocity of the fire.
It couldn’t hold out much longer.
Death meant little to the humanoid Jiuyou Demon, as it was but a mere fragment of its power; for it, death carried no loss.
But what it couldn’t accept was that, a thousand years ago on another Jiuyou Battlefield, the strength of the Human Clan had been much weaker.
Why had such a significant change occurred in a mere thousand years?!
Such a rate of strength increase was almost inconceivable even for a Jiuyou Demon.
If this cultivator maintained such a swift pace of growth, he would become an immense threat to the Jiuyou in the future.
A far greater threat than the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors of the past.
Its profound eyes flickered with a cold light as it stared coldly through the storm of flames at Lu Yi, who stood above the sea of fire, hair flying wildly as though he were a god of fire.
Lu Yi, in turn, calmly met the gaze of the Jiuyou Demon.
In the moment of their staring, the demonic qi around the Jiuyou Demon was completely unable to withstand the pressure and shattered.
The next instant, the Jiuyou Demon was devoured by the flames and completely vanished from sight.
Soon, the sinister and terrible presence also disappeared, as Lu Yi’s Divine Thought moved, and the raging flame storm gradually dissipated.
When the flame storm vanished, the demonic qi also dissipated, and the vast wilderness within tens of thousands of miles turned into a red sea of molten rock. The high temperature distorted the air, which seemed as though it had been utterly consumed by the flames.
This was something only Immortals like Lu Yi and his companions could survive; any mortal here would suffocate and die, even if not directly ignited by the heat.
Lu Yi glanced toward the spot where the humanoid Jiuyou Demon had been, which was now completely barren.
Lu Yi let out a murky breath, very satisfied in his heart.
Indeed, worthy of being a Golden Immortal Level secret technique. He had merely leveraged the power of two Perfect Laws, and the Heavenly Heart Technique had exploded with tremendous power.
What if he were to use ten or twenty Laws?
One could imagine just how powerful his strength would become.
Of course, using too many Powers of Laws would also be more than his physical body and spirit could bear due to the tremendous augmentation from the Heavenly Heart Technique.
Lu Yi stopped pondering and turned his attention to the rear, toward Yu Hanguang and his companions’ location.
The Yin Yang Tao Map was still circulating, and the ground where Yu Hanguang and his companions stood remained a wilderness, not turned into magma.
At this moment, Yu Hanguang had a stunned look, as did the Ling Luo Peak Master, while Liu Ningshuang and her three companions seemed relatively normal.
After all, they knew just how strong Lu Yi was… in every aspect.
Lu Yi descended, dismissed the Yin Yang Tao Map, and said with a light chuckle, “Are you all alright?”
Yu Hanguang came back to his senses, his expression incredibly odd as he looked at Lu Yi, twitching the corners of his mouth before saying, “…Brother, I feel that you could go toe to toe with an Immortal Monarch.”
Lu Yi was taken aback and quickly shook his head, “Brother Han Guang is flattering me too much. My strength is at most comparable to the Golden Core Realm, far from an Immortal Monarch’s level. I cannot aim too high.”
Yu Hanguang fell silent, suddenly unsure if Lu Yi was being modest or actually arrogant.
After all, he claimed to be only comparable to the Golden Core Realm when his own Cultivation Base was at the Profound Immortal Realm. Anyone else might think him mad, yet his strength was undeniably formidable.
Even the nearly Immortal Monarch-level Jiuyou Demon was no match for him.
From this perspective, Lu Yi seemed to be too modest.
Yu Hanguang shook his head, dismissing further thought, and then laughed, “This time you’ve killed so many Jiuyou Demons, the Ningyin Battlefield will probably be very calm and stable for the next few hundred years. The Star Realm Army stationed here ought to thank you properly.”
Lu Yi smiled faintly, “The Jiuyou Demons are a great threat to the entire universe, and I’m just doing what I should. There’s no need for thanks. Besides, the cultivators of the Star Realm Army have held back the Jiuyou Demons for countless years. If anyone should be thanked, it’s them.”
“Hahaha, if you really want to thank them, you should improve the battle formations of the Star Realm Army,” Yu Hanguang laughed heartily.
“Alright, after we go back, I’ll reflect on it,” Lu Yi said in a good mood.
