Chapter 1621 – Rushing Against the Heavens’ Lightning
Boom boom boom –
With the rumble of thunder that engulfed the Divine Stone Tribe’s territory, countless clouds descended in the blink of an eye. They were thick and low, as if they were about to touch the mountain where the Forbidden Land was.
The Divine Stone Tribe’s elders who were standing guard outside had a change in their expressions. They could feel the aura of destruction and violence lingering in the air. Could the Divine Stone have met with an accident in the process of breaking through its bottleneck?
The Green Willow Tribe Leader’s figure blinked and he reappeared on the roof of a courtyard. He looked far into the distance where the storm clouds were and frowned heavily.
Something seemed wrong. There was a terrifying feeling of suppression that fell from the sky, and it was even more scary than the backlash that occurred when their totem, the Divine Willow, failed to advance.
What was happening?
There was hesitation in his eyes and the Green Willow Tribe Leader took a deep breath. He stomped onto the ground and flew outwards. He did not bother to cover his tracks and he quickly arrived at where the two Divine Stone Tribe elders were.
“Green Willow Tribe Leader, my tribe’s totem is undergoing an advancement; please don’t walk around casually,” one of the elders warned in a low voice.
Beside him, Third Stone laughed bitterly, thinking to himself, ‘This newly-promoted elder is too ignorant’. He glared at him and hurriedly explained, “Green Willow Tribe Leader, please do not be angry. He lost propriety because he was worried.”
The old Tribe Leader said in a low voice, “I’m not going to argue with him. However, now, it is obvious that something has affected the advancement of the Divine Stone. Are you guys going to keep waiting?”
Third Stone cupped his hands, “Our Tribe Leader just sent out word that even though there have been some accidents, the whole situation is still under control. He ordered us to wait and not to act so that we can prevent anyone who is scheming from affecting the process.”
Even though his tone was respectful, there was also a hint of warning in his voice. After all, in the Divine Stone Tribe, the Green Willow Tribe Leader was still an outsider.
The old Tribe Leader’s expression was dark and he humphed, turning around to walk away. Third Stone’s words did not give him peace of mind at all. On the contrary, he felt even more worried and uneasy.
With that old monkey’s careful and cautious nature, something was not right if he could still keep so calm and not make a move when there had been such a big change of events.
Something had happened, something must have happened!
The Green Willow Tribe Leader was extremely worried. However, he could not do anything at all, other than waiting outside with widened eyes.
……
A thin strand of red karmic fire poured out from Rourou’s body and shrouded her figure within. At this moment, the terrifying thunder that descended on the outside world had nothing to do with the Divine Stone Totem. It was targeted at her.
As a person who should not exist in this world, coming into this world was a huge taboo in itself. It was only because Rourou managed to seal herself in and minimized her interference with this world that she was allowed to continue staying here.
However, after today’s ‘massacre’, more than ten Rulers had died. It was Rourou who had accumulated this debt of ‘death’.
Just like what the black-robed lady said just now, whatever Rourou said did not count. The only one who could truly pass a judgment was the world itself.
Obviously, its patience had reached the limit, and it was using some rather underhanded methods to chase Rourou away.
This was because her existence was a hidden threat to the world to begin with.
As for why it did not kill her directly…it was only because she was unable to be killed. She was a true and perfect existence of longevity.
Rourou pushed Qin Yu away, not letting him come into contact with the Karma Blood Flame. Her gaze landed on the black-robed lady and she coldly said, “What’s the point in wearing a robe in front of me?”
After a brief silence, the black robes dissipated like smoke, showing Li Ruhua’s figure. This third-generation disciple of the Central Desolate’s Divine Area bowed to greet them, “Your Excellency’s Divine Ways are unimaginable. Since I have already shown myself, I never thought that I could continue to hide my true identity.”
She straightened up with a serious expression on her face and said in a low voice, “I only came to let Your Excellency know that everything I did today was for a reason. You took half of my luck away and transferred it to Marquis Chongwu Ning Qin; it was equivalent to shattering my Great Dao. Naturally, Li Ruhua has to get it back.”
She looked at Qin Yu with an extremely cold and indifferent look, with no other emotion passing through her face. Even if there was an emotion, it could only said to be bone-piercing resentment or ruthless killing intent.
Her gaze made Qin Yu feel like everything was quite absurd. He thought to himself, ‘Back then, it was your Li Family who took the opportunity to scheme against me. No matter how you think about it, I should be considered the victim!’ As for taking away half of her luck, Qin Yu thought that it was just gibberish. ‘If this really was the case, how did I not know about it?’
However, right at this moment, Qin Yu froze. He suddenly thought about those memories he had in the Grandeur and Millet Realm. Could it be that it had something to do with Li Ruhua…the expression in her eyes was too scary; it was almost as if she had given her virginity to Qin Yu or something!
Seeming to have guessed Qin Yu’s thoughts, Li Ruhua's heart started to beat faster and she looked at Qin Yu with an even colder gaze. You bastard, you asshole, how dare you act like you’re the innocent one here? You really deserve to have all your limbs pulled out!
Rourou scoffed, “This time, you are truly being extremely shameless. You told them quite a number of things through that little brat, and you even made arrangements beforehand to clear the karma that linked back to you. However, do you really think what you did will change anything? Or, are you not afraid of death?”
The ‘you’s that she used at the start and the end of her words were referring to two different things.
Li Ruhua’s face paled, “There’s no difference between dying now and dying next time…I’m willing to give it a go!”
Rourou’s gaze turned icy and a cold smile formed on her lips. Her aura changed drastically, like a female emperor who looked down upon all eight directions, “Then, I will grant you your wish.”
Hong –
Rourou punched outwards. Li Ruhua’s expression changed greatly, but before she could make any reaction, her whole body became like a ripe fruit as it exploded. Flesh, blood, and bones flew everywhere.
Hu –
The Karma Blood Flame that was pouring out of Rourou’s body instantly expanded by a great amount – more than what she accumulated from consecutively killing over ten Rulers just now.
“Indeed, it was a reincarnation. It seems that they had achieved a lot in their previous life.”
Boom boom boom –
Even if they were underground, they could hear the roar of thunder from the skies that was filled with anger and suppression.
It seemed that Rourou’s lack of hesitation in killing Li Ruhua had angered this world.
Her face turned pale from the Karma Blood Flame, however, her eyes were brighter than usual. She lifted her head despite all the obstacles, and looked at the sky, “Why are you making so much noise? Do you think being louder makes you more reasonable? If you have the abilities, make your move directly like a man.”
Hong –
A terrifying thunder pillar fell from the clouds in an instant, faster than a lightning strike, smashing into the big mountain in the Divine Stone Tribe’s Forbidden Land.
“Ah!” A pained howl rang out from the Divine Stone Totem. Countless cracks instantly appeared, covering every inch of its surface.
The ugly stone monsters that were packed around the Divine Stone were all completely shattered in an instant as well.
And they only suffered from the aftershock of the thunder attack. It was Rourou who suffered the full force of the thunder pillar.
Within the red Karma Blood Flame that was pouring out of Rourou’s body, there were countless lightning bolts jumping around. ‘Pi-pa! Pi-pa!’ Crackling sounds constantly rang out, every one of them showing their terrifying destructive power.
Rourou’s face turned even paler, but the corners of her lips curled up, “It has been so many years, but you still haven’t made any progress. Brother, your brain power is indeed limited.”
She waved her sleeves and wrapped them around Qin Yu. Then she stomped her foot and rushed towards the sky, going against the thunder pillar that was still coming down from the clouds and directly exiting the Forbidden Land’s mountain.
The Green Willow Tribe Leader widened his eyes at this moment. Even though he was very far away, the perfect eyesight of a cultivator allowed him to clearly see who just rushed out of the thunder pillar…it was Marquis Chongwu and his wife!
What exactly happened? Why did things turn out this way?!
Shi Gan’s roar of hatred and anger rang out from the underground, “The Desolate cultivators plotted against our tribe’s totem. The plot has been foiled. Divine Stone Tribe, listen to my orders! Kill them at all costs!”
The Green Willow Tribe Leader’s eyes widened. His ears buzzed and his mind went blank.
The Divine Stone Tribe elders were frozen for a few moments, then their eyes turned cold. They did not doubt their leader’s words at all.
Of course, the more important thing was that they had felt for themselves the Divine Stone’s anger and weakness. It was like the totem was on the verge of death, and was feeling fearful because it was about to be destroyed.
“Kill the Desolate cultivators!”
The first Divine Stone Tribe elder roared as he rushed into the sky.
As the Karma Blood Flame followed Rourou around, and she was also wrapped by layers of lightning energy, Rourou looked like a demon god. Yet, her eyes had a very calm expression.
She did not do anything other than lower her head to take a look at the Divine Stone Tribe elder who was rushing towards them with gritted teeth and angry eyes. Then, with a loud bang, that elder exploded into pieces and turned into a blood red mist that was swallowed by Rourou in one gulp.
She licked the corners of her mouth and mumbled to herself, “It has truly been a very long time since I’ve enjoyed this pleasure of killing people.”
Somewhere in the depths of Rourou’s eyes, thin strands of blood appeared. It was not very obvious, but it made Qin Yu feel like he was facing two endless seas of blood.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Rourou, don’t let your instincts control you. If you kill more people, it will become more and more troublesome!”
Rourou turned her head to look at Qin Yu, “I know, but it’s already too late.”
Bang –
Bang –
Two more Divine Stone Tribe elders who had rushed into the sky exploded and turned into a blood mist which was sucked up by Rourou.
Now, it was like she had become a black hole that only fed on flesh and blood!
Boom boom boom –
Above their heads, thick and gray clouds formed. They turned darker by the second, as if day and night had been reversed. The whole land was now shrouded in darkness.
There was the sound of an explosion, before endless thunder light surged and covered every inch of the clouds. An even more terrifying thunder pillar shot outwards towards Rourou.
She raised her hand and grabbed the space below her where the Divine Stone Tribe soldiers were standing in battle formation. In an instant, it became an empty space. All the barbarian soldiers and their horses directly turned to ashes.
In the next moment, a huge ball of blood appeared in Rourou’s hands. She laughed coldly and this ball of blood quickly extended to form a huge Blood Umbrella.
Holding the umbrella in her hands, even under the pelting of endless lightning bolts, she was safe and they could not touch her.
“Rourou!” Qin Yu shouted in a low voice.
He was still the Barbarian King after all.
Rourou was expressionless as the blood continued to flow in the depths of her eyes, “If they don’t die, you will die.”
Qin Yu's heart clenched.
As Rourou held the Blood Umbrella, drops of blood continuously evaporated while it endured the force of the heavens’ lightning. The umbrella also started to become dimmer and thinner, and not waiting for it to be shattered completely, Rourou reached out towards the ground once again.
Boom boom boom –
Countless Divine Stone Tribe soldiers instantly died and turned to blood mist. They combined with the Blood Umbrella, restoring it to its original form.
Rourou raised her head and looked towards the clouds, mumbling to herself, “How long do you want to play this game? I’ll play it with you for as long as you like, but he is my bottom line…don’t cross this line. You’d better not, otherwise you are very aware of how much power would be released when an existence with a huge longevity breaks their Longevity Great Dao.”
