Chapter 232 - 174: Gu Diao Cub, The Throne’s Extraworldly Avatar, The Fourth Divination
"Generally, members of the Demon Race have to reach the Middle Fifth Grade and become a Demon King before they can take on a human form. But there’s another way—consuming a Transformation Pill refined by the Taoist Sect, which allows them to transform early. However, this method’s only function is transformation; it actually hinders the Spirit Beast’s power."
"I happen to have a bottle right here. If Your Highness needs it, you can take it."
Sui Yuqing took a Black Jade Bottle from his sleeve.
Lu Mingyuan accepted the jade bottle, his expression solemn. "Thank you! Senior, you’ve helped me immensely!"
"I will repay you handsomely in the future!"
"Since the Celestial Master’s Mansion has taken action, we will see our duty through to the end."
Sui Yuqing’s expression remained calm, but he suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right. Regarding that Demon Race spy you told me about—although he escaped, I’ve already used a source-tracking Divine Technique and traced his origin. It’s an oasis forty thousand li from here. To be so well-hidden... I’m afraid their ambitions must be immense."
The moment he heard of Lu Guangjing’s whereabouts,
Lu Mingyuan’s eyes lit up. ’Now that Prince Jin’s location is confirmed, there’s a chance to eliminate him.’
’But now isn’t the best time. The Demon Race is a major obstacle.’
"Relying on the experts from the various Dynasties, how much longer can the Human Race’s main camp in the ruined ancient city hold out?"
Lu Mingyuan asked curiously.
"If the Demon Race’s Thrones don’t act, we can hold out for a long time. But if..."
Sui Yuqing didn’t get to finish.
RUMBLE!
A disturbance emanated from the sky as a demonic cloud vortex descended. From within its unseen depths, a pair of golden eyes became visible.
Thunder from the Nine Heavens rumbled as the winds and clouds swirled and shifted.
Between heaven and earth, a dragon-horned man with a terrifying aura descended. His long black hair flowed down to his feet.
An arcane, ancient seal was marked on his forehead, between his brows.
His gaze was indifferent and merciless, like that of a Divine Spirit from the heavens.
His appearance drew the gazes of numerous Human Race Cultivators. Nearly every Great Cultivator of the Middle Fifth Grade wore an incredibly grave expression.
"This is... an off-world avatar!"
The moment Sui Yuqing saw the dragon-horned man, his pupils contracted.
"What is an off-world avatar?"
’This dragon-horned man feels incredibly familiar,’ Lu Mingyuan thought.
"This is a special technique available to those in the Upper Three Grades, allowing them to create an avatar to walk the Mortal World in their stead. If I’m not mistaken, this man is the seventh on the Throne."
With the appearance of the dragon-horned man, the top experts of the Human Race faced a formidable enemy, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
However, the man paid them no mind. He simply raised a hand, and the nature’s spiritual energy of the Little World rapidly gathered at his fingertip. It condensed into a massive sphere of energy, seemingly the size of a star. With a point of his finger, a pillar of light shot forth like a ray from a Divine Sun, its sonic boom spreading for ten thousand li.
DONG!
For a thousand li in every direction, the City Defense Array established by the Human Race shattered instantly, breaking even the void above.
The Old Eunuch wielding the Great Sui Dragon Seal, the Elder Sword Saint with his Immortal Sword, Yao Longchuan, the First-Class Tributor of Great Wu, the Fisherman, a Great Yan Tributor, Qingwei True Monarch, and the others...
...were all defeated, their bodies sent flying backward.
After that one move, the dragon-horned man’s body suddenly grew illusory and began to break apart.
"You fiend from the Wilderness! How dare you act so wantonly!"
A vast, boundless, and powerful Daoist voice rang out from the void, echoing into the Little World.
The Human Race Cultivators, who had been utterly desperate, looked up at the sky. Joy appeared on the faces of the Daoists from the Thunder Pool Daoist Academy.
"The Alliance Leader is here! We’re saved!"
"It must have been a Throne Great Demon who acted, exposing this location and allowing the Alliance Leader and the others to pinpoint it!"
"Just hold on a little longer, and we’ll be saved!"
Sui Yuqing said with a grave expression, "We can’t stay here. We have to buy enough time for the Dao Alliance and the Confucian Temple to mount a rescue."
He sent a mental transmission to the many Great Cultivators of the Thunder Pool Daoist Academy: "Quickly, activate the Teleportation Array and leave Yingsha Ancient City!"
At that moment, on the ground beside Sui Yuqing, three clusters of light appeared on the Turtle Shell in Lu Mingyuan’s mind.
[The Human Race scatters. The Thrones encircle and annihilate. The schemer harbors ill intentions. Fortune and calamity are self-determined. The prodigies of the nations cannot prevail. The stars dim. Only I have the method.]
[Upper Trigram of Good Fortune: Secretly escort the group and teleport to the Great Wilderness Tomb Canyon in the west. Fortune: Gain an abundant Opportunity, including a Divine Weapon. Misfortune: Encounter a villain’s scheme. This calamity can be resolved by an avatar. Reward: Obtain the Azure Fate Grid, "Only I have the method." Outcome: Moderate Good Fortune!]
[Middle Trigram of Good Fortune: Do not escort them. There is no need to act. Wait for the Human Race experts. Fortune: Your life will be safe. Misfortune: You will miss out on the Opportunity. There is no immediate risk, but you will be trapped under the watchful eyes of enemies. Outcome: Minor Good Fortune!]
[Lower Trigram of Evil: Secretly escort the group and teleport to the Eastern Pearl White Sand Islands. A Great Demon will block the way. The journey will be fraught with unpredictable dangers and heavy calamities. Outcome: Great Peril!]
