Chapter 194 The Divine Beast Appears
"what!!!"
"A sword through the heart? How is that possible?!"
Han Shan, who had just taken half a step, was stunned and froze on the spot. The spiritual power he had just gathered in his hand dissipated without a trace, but his raised hand was trembling uncontrollably.
After three thousand years of cultivation and seeking enlightenment, he has long forgotten how he climbed step by step from his humble beginnings to reach his current position and attain this level of cultivation.
But just a moment ago, he experienced fear once again.
He seemed to have forgotten that there were people with higher cultivation levels than them, but he didn't believe that the girl in front of him, who looked powerful but was actually just bluffing, was more powerful than the two people present who were the strongest among them.
There are very few people on the mainland whose cultivation level is higher than theirs, and they have either met or know most of them. They would not be unaware of this girl who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
But even now, Han Shan still feels that he has not seen enough.
Especially when he saw Lao Tong, who had acted first, step into the area set by that person and was pierced through the heart by a sword before he could even react. The inner core he had cultivated was also cut out and easily crushed.
Thousands of years of seeking immortality and enlightenment were cut short in a single day, leaving no time for lamentation.
"Tsk, I thought he was much stronger."
Old Tong's body was discarded lifelessly by that person, and all his belongings were taken from him, while she was unharmed, only feeling that the blood had dirtied her hands.
Han Shan felt a chill run through him, and the group behind him immediately fell silent.
Liu Jun thought that it would take her some effort to beat those two old men, but she overestimated them or underestimated her own strength.
The one who just courted death was the one who really ate those pills.
When the realm is first established, the foundation is unstable, but there is also a rush to achieve quick results, which is like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. By the time one finally takes this into consideration, how much nonsense has been consumed to repair it?
Every medicine has some degree of toxicity, and the toxicity of elixirs is even greater.
The erysipelas had accumulated over the years and had long since seeped into his bones and blood. Even at his current level, it was difficult to completely eradicate, hindering his cultivation progress.
As for ascension, that's even more impossible, which is why he's trying so hard to find a celestial beast to bond with.
Even if you can't form a contract with a celestial beast, capturing it and raising it, bleeding it, and cutting off its flesh are all excellent tonics, or you can refine it into a pill that can help you advance to the next realm.
Who wouldn't want something that's so easy to make?
But they also had to consider whether they had the chance to obtain this mythical beast.
Han Shan withdrew his stance and took half a step back, his tone becoming respectful: "Sir...why don't you show your true face?"
Liu Jun leisurely took stock of the things he had just acquired: "You are not worthy to see my face."
"Well, is there anyone else who thinks they've lived too long? Come forward, and I will certainly not disappoint you."
The crowd fell silent again, exchanging bewildered glances, no one daring to take that step.
The floating light behind them suddenly grew longer, and the energy of heaven and earth gathered more and more, which meant that the demon beast inside was about to transform into human form. However, not long after, the floating light flickered and showed signs of weakening. Although the energy of heaven and earth continued to gather, the floating light became weaker and weaker.
This indicates that the thing inside is very likely to fail in its transformation, and the accumulating energy of heaven and earth will burst it apart.
After observing for a while, Liu Jun decisively withdrew her immortal sword and made a hand seal to release a barrier to surround her and the thing in order to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to attack. Then, she made a cut on her right palm with her left hand, and blood seeped out.
Liu Jun drew a few more strokes on her palm before guiding the blood from her palm into the floating light. The thing inside seemed to have eaten something delicious, constantly absorbing her blood, and the more it absorbed, the stronger it became. The floating light also grew stronger and stronger.
Those watching from the outside couldn't help but marvel at the sight.
Some of them had seen celestial beasts before, but they had never seen a celestial beast that needed to be fed blood before it was even born. Judging from its appearance, it didn't seem to be forming a contract. This was the first time they had ever seen a celestial beast being helped to transform by the blood in its palm.
"That woman seems to be dying, should we..."
"Which eye of yours saw that she was dying? She just lost a little blood from her palm. If you're not afraid of death, then go ahead."
"Tch, a bunch of cowards!"
"If you're so capable, then go ahead and do it! Didn't you see that woman killed Venerable Tong without lifting a finger?"
"What are you afraid of! Can't you see she's too busy to deal with us right now? If we all attack together, do you think she can handle so many of us?"
"Are you blind? Didn't you see the barrier around her? That thing looks much stronger than the previous one. Don't you think about how long it took all of us to break through that magic array?"
"Exactly, it might be over before they even break through the barrier around them. One person is one thing, but what if there's another celestial beast involved?"
"Anyway, it's hopeless today. I don't want to be someone else's cannon fodder. I'm leaving!"
After some deliberation, the people present either left or stayed. Nearly half of them left, leaving only a few who were still unwilling to give up and wanted to make a quick buck. However, none of them dared to easily attack the small barrier.
Han Shan stayed for two days, but after much deliberation, he decided to leave.
The path to enlightenment is long and arduous, and he cherishes his life more than Lao Tong, and is not in such a hurry to achieve success.
……
Liu Jun didn't know how much time had passed, only that this spendthrift son had undergone a transformation that nearly drained her life force, and she could only use the spiritual energy around her to keep herself from dying from blood loss.
He can fight others without getting hurt, but he gets half-dead by his own people. That's something else.
Initially, Liu Jun hadn't intended to use his own blood to nourish it, but he impulsively did it, and now he can't back out even if he wants to.
"Damn it! If you don't successfully transform soon, I really won't be able to control you anymore!"
The choice between protecting it and protecting yourself is obvious.
When Liu Jun felt that the blood in his palm had to be cut off, he took one last resolute look at the small snake curled up in the shimmering light, its blurry shadow.
"……sorry."
With a ruthless resolve, Liu Jun transformed his left hand into a blade and decisively severed the connecting blood bridge.
As he watched the last drop of blood disappear into the shimmering light, Liu Jun took out a bottle of Rejuvenation Pills and poured them into his mouth. The cut on his right palm began to heal at a visible speed.
The blood bridge was broken, and the shimmering light was fading. Liu Jun looked at it, his eyes filled with reluctance.
"I'm sorry, but I still want to live."
The energy of heaven and earth surged and gathered more and more, while the floating light grew weaker and weaker, as if it were constantly disappearing. Liu Jun still couldn't see what was inside, but the surrounding barrier had been removed.
All the people outside had already left, and not a single one of those who were waiting for an opportunity remained.
It seems that a long time has passed, so long that even she doesn't know what time it is now.
Liu Jun looked at the growing fetus, which was being stretched larger and larger by the energy of heaven and earth, and saw that it was already showing signs of cracking. He thought it was time to leave, so he silently took one last look at it and turned to leave.
But before they could take more than a few steps, the light behind them suddenly shone brightly, so intensely that all the creatures in the Ten Pools Forest, even those in the nearby Sunset City and the entire Twilight Sect, could not ignore it.
Liu Jun suddenly turned around and saw that the seemingly ruptured fetus had indeed exploded, but what came out was not a corpse, but a deafening dragon roar.
"Roar!!!"
……
"What's going on? Am I hallucinating? Don't tell me I'm the only one who heard it!"
"A dragon's roar! It's a dragon's roar! A divine beast has descended upon the world!!!"
"That's right, such a majestic roar could only come from a dragon! A divine beast has descended upon the world, and the continent will prosper! The Yuanzhou Continent will rise!!!"
……
Roar! ! !
The elders and the sect leader of Mu Cang Sect who were still discussing matters in the hall were all shocked and stood up to look outside upon hearing the commotion.
Yu Xia, who was usually lazy, spoke up first this time: "What's going on?"
Fang Zheng, who was at the head of the group, also stepped outside the hall with a serious expression and looked in the direction from which the sound came. Soon after, a group of elders came out beside him and looked in the same direction as him.
"To cause such a commotion, and that sound..."
Fang Zheng's expression turned grave: "It's in the direction of Sunset City, but... how could it be?"
Feng Gu said anxiously, "Sect Leader, it's no use just standing here. Why don't we go and take a look?"
Yuan Hong also spoke up: "Elder Feng is right. This is no small matter. What should the sect leader do?"
Fang Zheng was silent for a moment, then began to give instructions: "This is no small matter. I also need to go there. Elder Mo, Elder He, Elder Zhu, you all keep watch over the mountain gate. The rest of you elders, come with me to investigate."
"Yes!"
The arrival of the divine beasts is no small matter. They usually bicker and look down on each other, but at this time they are exceptionally united and obedient.
With the appearance of a divine beast, and one of such ancient bloodlines at that, the Yuanzhou Continent is likely to face turmoil in the future.
