Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 266: Ch 266: The Golden Figure

Lu Moyu’s eyes widened in shock when he heard the Si Yuxia’s words. His body trembled, and his mind went blank for a moment. He could hardly believe what she had just said.

"Abandoned by the Heavens?" he murmured in a barely audible voice. Then he raised his head and looked at her with hesitation and asked, "Why? Why am I abandoned by the Heavens? I have never done any wrong in my life. I never killed anyone unjustly. I never committed any grave sin that can cause Heavens to despise me. Then why? Are you sure you didn’t see anything wrong?"

Lu Moyu’s action of raising the question was rude, but Si Yuxia didn’t get angry. Her golden eyes were filled with pity. Shaking her head, she sighed. "I don’t know. Your fate is a mystery even to me. The threads of destiny that bind all living beings have been cut for you. As I mentioned earlier, it seems as if the Heavens have completely turned away from you. The reason for this is unknown. I cannot see anything beyond that. Everything is shrouded in darkness. I can feel immense danger. If I even attempted to peer into that darkness, I fear I would incur the wrath of the Great Dao and be struck down instantly."

Lu Moyu’s heart sank. He could see fear in her eyes. He clenched his fists tightly to the point where his nails dug into his palms. "Does that mean... I can never become an Immortal? Is there no hope for me?"

Obviously, he cannot give up after coming to the last step.

He had long since cultivated to the limit of the Mortal World. Now, he has to ascend to the Nine Heavens to continue cultivating ahead.

He didn’t want to give up just like that.

Si Yuxia hesitated for a moment before answering. "I fear there is no solution. Let’s say, even if you somehow manage to endure the Immortal Tribulation miraculously and shed your mortality, the Heavens will still not accept you. The moment you ascend to the Nine Heavens, the Great Dao will strike you down. It will see you as an existence that should not be."

Her words were like a heavy blow to Lu Moyu. His legs felt weak and he nearly fell to his knees. It was too much of a blow to him.

Si Yuxia said gently. "It is not a matter of strength or will. The Heavens have already decided your fate."

"But... Why?!" Lu Moyu exclaimed in a shaky voice. His eyes turned red. In the end, he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth.

"No matter what, I will never give up cultivating. I must become an Immortal and ascend. There is no future for me in the Mortal World."

"Are you sure?"

Si Yuxia could not understand why Lu Moyu chose to face the danger even though he now knew he would face a certain death.

But, it doesn’t matter.

She is just a protector of the Land of Immortals. As long as Lu Moyu doesn’t back down on his own, she has no right to force him to leave.

"I am sure!" Lu Moyu nodded.

Si Yuxia no longer said anything. She silently moved aside.

Lu Moyu breathed deeply and entered a pathway with a clenched fist.

As soon as he entered, he found himself standing on top of a huge altar. There was nothing but a high throne in the middle of this altar.

The instant Lu Moyu’s gaze fell on this high throne, he knew he had to sit on it to trigger the Immortal Tribulation.

This throne was completely golden in color, and there were nine different shapes of giant runes carved on it.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Moyu sat down on the throne.

"Boom!"

As Lu Moyu sat on the throne, the sound of thunder was heard. The entire platform trembled heavily. But the golden throne remained steady.

"Boom!"

Another earth-shattering sound was heard. This time, tremble even the golden throne trembled slightly.

Suddenly, all the muscles and bones in Lu Moyu’s body began to tremble.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The surrounding continued to shook heavily. Even the platform started to crack. A burning wave of energy was summoned in this space out of nowhere that poured into Lu Moyu’s body.

In an instant, Lu Moyu’s felt his entire body burning. It only took a few moments for the flame to catch Lu Moyu’s entire body. His entire body was immersed in the flame. Every bone and nerve could be clearly seen through his skin.

It didn’t take long before Lu Moyu’s body burned to ashes.

His entire body had been completely destroyed. Only his soul was still floating in the air.

However, his soul didn’t dissipate there. There seemed to be an invisible hand supporting his soul, stopping it from being destroyed under the tribulation.

Yes, the instant Lu Moyu sat on the throne, his Immortal Tribulation had already begun.

The invisible and that Lu Moyu felt supporting his soul from destroying appeared to be an outside power, something that should not exist. Lu Moyu can clearly feel this invisible hand was resisting the corrosion of Nine Heavens to stop his soul from being destroyed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

All of a sudden, boundless destruction surged from every direction and poured into Lu Moyu’s soul like a relentless torrent.

However, a massive phantom materialized behind Lu Moyu’s soul. It appeared out of nowhere. This phantom was golden and radiated an ethereal aura, seemingly untouchable by any impurity in the world. It exuded an air of absolute purity and perfection.

The phantom’s face was obscured and could not be seen clearly, but it was unmistakably the figure of a man.

The phantom waved its hand and the destructive energy was expelled from his soul automatically.

In that second, the Heavens seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, for the sky exploded with a thunderous sound, and an unfathomable aura descended.
