The Devilish Immortal Chapter 271 - The Battle of Diablo: Start

Chapter 271 The Battle of Diablo: Start

Lyu Liang did really well inside the Th.o.r.eau Secret Realm.

The thick Spiritual Qi and the Lu Tian Divine Stone were a great help to him. Meanwhile, he also had the Linden, so his cultivation increased rapidly and reached the bottleneck of the Middle-stage Heavenly Master in less than a 100 days.

During those days, he discussed with White about the types of moves he would be activating in the compet.i.tion. It would be better if he did not use the moves that he had used in the previous battles at the Nether Big World, as they might be spotted by others. He could not afford to take that risk.

To sum it up, the Kunwu Sword could not be used for the time being. After being used several times before as the Sword-Blood Soul Guide, it had become like a calling card for Lyu Liang. In addition, he was not supposed to use the Xuanyuan Sword Formation, either.

In the end, the only moves he could depend on were the Five Acts of Heaven Soul and the Divine Body. As for the Spirit Swallowing Bugs and Ghost Soldier Transforming Realm, they were only suitable for short-term use. His only fear was they would be coveted by greedy people, which was not a good thing for him.

No matter what, they should be enough for just one battle!

Although Lyu Liang was very interested in the Lu Tian Divine Stone, he decided not to use it, as he thought it might seem as if he was showing off, by winning three times in a row. To be honest, he was not even sure if he could get to the end. But even if he did make it, he would definitely become a target for all in future, something he definitely did not want to happen.

During the cultivation, there was another occurrence that Lyu Liang was very delighted about. The girl in the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation was actually starting to recover!

“Man… Linglong… miss you…” As soon as Lyu Liang went into the formation to see her, a warm and soft body immediately appeared in his arms. Smiling at him, the girl stuttered these sweet words.

Linglong!

That should be the girl’s name. Ancestor Frost had also called her by that name before. It seemed that she was starting to regain her memory!

Lyu Liang was so happy that he brought out a pile of fruits for her to eat. Linglong’s eyes shone.. She looked and touched some of the fruits. At last, she picked up an apple and took a few big bites out of it.

As Lyu Liang looked at her innocent smile, his mood lifted, after having felt so depressed and gloomy for some time.

But just as he was about to leave, Linglong had a pathetic look on her face, and clung to the edge of his clothes, crying in a heart-broken voice, “Man… Man…”

“Be good. I promise that I will come and see you every one or two days, okay?” Lyu Liang said this tentatively, and it worked. The girl nodded reluctantly, and had a faint smile on her tearful face.

Lyu Liang kept his promise and visited Linglong at least every two days.

After more than 400 days had pa.s.sed, Linglong was able to speak a couple of complete sentences, and her actions became more normal. Every time Lyu Liang entered the formation, instead of behaving childishly, like embracing him and eating apples, she would even take care of him. The pure pa.s.sion in her eyes brought that lifeless waste land back to life.

As the 500 days of cultivation inside the Th.o.r.eau Secret Realm came to an end, Lyu Liang had already practiced his Cultivation Method to a much higher level.

Especially the fourth act of the Five Acts of Heaven Soul named Frightened Stab, he could actually use it! Although he could only use it to create a momentary problem for his enemies, he had White’s instantaneous flash, at the same time. Therefore, the fourth act was definitely a trump card for him!

The only thing he was worried about was that his cultivation remained at the bottleneck of the Middle-stage Heavenly Master. There were no signs to indicate that he was about to break through…

…

Five days later, when the five of them gathered at Tianshu Pavilion, Lyu Liang was the most outstanding one. That was due to the Linden. Lyu Liang’s cultivation speed had doubled with it.

The barbarian at the moment, was showing a cultivation of the Middle-stage Heavenly Master, which was not the most surprising feature.

The thing about him that shocked the people most, was the layer of coppery light that shone faintly around him. It was indescribably creepy and oppressive.

“Good! Let’s go. It’s time for us to get together!” Ancestor Tian Shu said, seemingly satisfied with their achievements.

“What? Three Masters are coming along with us!” Seeing that even Ancestor Tian Shu, Ancestor Wen Shu and Ancestor Wu Shu were accompanying them, Feng Mazi blurted out in amazement.

“Some important figure from the Dark Reign will be watching the compet.i.tion this time, but it’s not something you should care about!” Ancestor Tian Shu said indifferently. Then he led them to a wing room on the right side of the palace, where a large transmission formation had been set up earlier.

Lyu Liang felt dizzy for a moment, and the next minute, he was already inside a magnificent palace!

“This… is too luxurious!” Lyu Liang exclaimed in his heart, as he saw all the furnishings in the large palace were made of ultimate-grade Primordial Stones.

“Haha, welcome!” “It’s rare to see you guys coming to You Luo Mansion together, my old friends!” an airy voice came from behind them. Lyu Liang and the other people turned around and saw a potbellied person in a black robe, laughing as he greeted them.

“This man is Kong Liang, another top deacon of the Dark Reign with the nickname of ‘velvet paw’! It is said that he used to be an important figure in the Kong family of the Remote Antiquity in the s.p.a.ce of G.o.ddess Nyu Wa. No one knows why he came here to be a deacon! Even when facing the Tao Ancestors of the Dark Reign, he treats them as equals.” Feng Mazi secretly transmitted a voice message to Lyu Liang, who was immediately struck by the name, Kong Liang.

“Kong Liang?”

The man who had partic.i.p.ated in the destruction of Lush Mountain World that Zhang Ran had mentioned? The son of the Ancestor of the Kong family called Kong Wuming?

Although Lyu Liang had no dealings with him until that time, he instinctively regarded him as a dangerous person. Surely, his nickname of ‘a velvet paw’ was also a key factor for that.

“They are also the candidates for this compet.i.tion? Well, well, lots of old friends… Eh, is this brother Man Zi who made such a stir in Icy Peak before? Nice to meet you! I’m Kong Liang, a small deacon in the Dark Reign. We’ll get to know each other better, as long as we keep in touch!” Kong Liang spoke like an old friend, and patted Lyu Liang’s shoulder, with a smile.

Lyu Liang acted as if he was super flattered, while in his heart, he knew that he would definitely have treated him as a good-natured fatty, if it were not for the reminders from Zhang Ran and Feng Mazi.

“Brother Kong, how are you doing? We are not late, I suppose.” Ancestor Tian Shu smiled and asked casually, as he greeted him with cupped fists, sounding very courteous at the same time.

“No, no, you are just in time! Let’s go now. You three Tao Ancestors have come personally, which could be said to be the grandest appearance among all the compet.i.tions, until now.” Kong Liang said, as he led them forward.

At that moment, another beam of brilliance flashed by and then several figures appeared. The one leading the way was Li Caiyun, whom Lyu Liang was most afraid of!

The people behind her looked really weird. They were dressed in black robes and each of them had a pair of creepy golden pupils. All in all, they looked very different from the normal cultivators.

Kong Liang saw Li Caiyun and the two nodded tacitly. Then they came forward with their own teams, separately. Lyu Liang could sense Li Caiyun glancing at him casually from time to time. It seemed that she was highly suspicious of him.

When everyone had pa.s.sed through a barrier with green crinkles, a sudden flurry of wild yelling came from all around.

Lyu Liang looked around and realized instantly that he was standing on a platform. It was surrounded by a circle of large platforms of different heights for watching the games! They were full of cultivators who were dressed quite differently. One square array for each sect, it was wild but not messy, and had the effect of making people feel pumped up!

Opposite the platform was an empty area. That was obviously for those people of high status.

Lyu Liang also found that their leader, Kong Liang, and the three Ancestors had disappeared. The people from Tianshu Pavilion on the platform, were just the five people from the squad.

At this time, the number of people on the platform kept increasing. All the members of each team on the stage, were overwhelmingly confident! Some people had absolute resolution shining in their eyes, a trait uniquely owned by the Men of Sacrifice, which made Lyu Liang directly enter into a state of combat readiness.

“Dude, if you don’t want to die, just give up all your concerns. Right now, you are Man Zi from the Tianshu Pavilion! So, in order to survive, you have to use every move you have!” White cautioned him. Lyu Liang secretly nodded.

“What kind of monsters were these people?”

Basically, every member of each team showed a formidable pressure with their terrifying fighting capabilities!

To win three times in succession? That was a difficult task, and basically impossible to achieve!

During that time, Feng Mazi was very generous and gave a detailed introduction of every team to Lyu Liang.

He first talked about how those teams were a.s.sembled. Except the top three from the last compet.i.tion, all other powers were required to attend the preliminary contest ahead, to decide on the 29 teams that were qualified to compete. In the end, there would be a total of 32 teams for the compet.i.tion.

There were countless powerful people in the Nether Big World, with nearly well-known 100 big powers already. Some other powers were always ready and eager to step in, too, so everyone that was standing on that platform was a survivor, after much violent struggling and fighting!

As Feng Mazi kept on introducing them, the three teams were highly concerned about Lyu Liang. He was praying that he need never have to face them, or at least only have a minimal chance of confronting them.

The first team was comprised of the weirdos brought by Li Caiyun. They came from the first big power of the Ghost Area, the Ghost King Sect. It was the team from the Ghost Realm that had always given other compet.i.tors a headache in all the previous compet.i.tions! Although they never made it to the final, they had created a record which was even beyond the capability of the Tianshu Pavilion: No deaths after all battles, and to kill five people at every compet.i.tion!

The second team was made up of women, who were all dressed in white. Unlike those pa.s.sionate and enchanting Demon b.i.t.c.hes from the Frost Peak, they were as cold as a severe winter, which turned people off! There was a saying about them in the Nether Big World, “There are Frost Demon b.i.t.c.hes in the south, and Dead Mine Women in the north”. The Dead Mine Women were from the Plain Girl Pavilion, the only sect in the Northern Mining Area.

The third team belonged to the Yue Feng Nest Meeting, and was the second big power in the Nether Big World. The most interesting thing about that team was that its members were never the same for each compet.i.tion! But still, they often made it to the top three positions, which was a reflection of their rich pool of undiscovered talents!

Along with Feng Mazi’s introduction, Lyu Liang’s heart started racing. Since he had promoted himself to the level of Heavenly Master, he found it a lot harder to go any further.

Even when he had the help of the Linden in the Th.o.r.eau Secret Realm before, his cultivation still had not broken through to the Late-stage Heavenly Master. Maybe the death match that followed, would be the best chance for him to break through!

Moments later, figures gradually appeared in the empty area opposite the platform. They were the leaders of every big power, and the three Ancestors were there, too. However, none of them took their seats yet, it was if they were waiting for someone.

After another 30 minutes, a clear voice pierced the sky, “Dark Reign, Ji Luo Tao Lord, Tao Ancestor Ghost and Tao Ancestor Cold Blood are here!”

After that announcement, three figures appeared in succession. The one in front was a teenager wearing a purple robe. The one that followed him was an old, black-robed Taoist with white eyebrows. And the last one was an old man with a bald head, who looked cold and arrogant.

Still, they didn’t take a seat, either. At that time, something occurred off the stage.

What did that mean? It meant that some big shot who was even superior to the Tao Ancestor, would be coming!

As expected, the clear voice rose again, and with some pa.s.sion cried out, “Dark Reign, G.o.d Ancestor Wu Ming, G.o.d Ancestor Wan Ghosts are arriving!”

“Boom!” Their arrival caused a stir right away!

The G.o.d Ancestor of the Dark Reign had arrived!

Everybody knew that there were seemingly only three Tao Ancestors in the Dark Reign, but they were all sure that some big figures of a higher level, also existed.

Right then, what they’ve guessed had come true, and the two G.o.d Ancestors appeared at the site!

What? The two G.o.d Ancestors still had not taken their seats!

Everyone went wild with joy. Lots of people started to cheer, while yelling at the same time, “Nether Big World! No one could compare with it! Rock on, Heaven Realm!”

“Next, let’s welcome the two supreme leaders of the Dark Reign, with all our intense pa.s.sion, the Divine Ancestor Daylight and the Divine Ancestor Underground!” The announcer was so excited that his voice filled the entire s.p.a.ce.

With his words, two illusions gradually became visible; a white-robed man and a girl dressed in yellow clothes, appeared on the stage, their faces covered with masks.

All the people on the site, including those on the middle platform, as well as those on the platforms for watching games, were thrilled!

At that moment, the real fighting capacity of the Dark Reign was fully revealed!

Divine Ancestors! They were even the Supreme Masters in the s.p.a.ce of the G.o.ddess Nyu Wa, and at this time, made an appearance in the Nether Big World!

Lyu Liang felt the surging aura around him, and had to admit that the original plan he’d imagined was so naive!

At this moment, Lyu Liang just dropped all his concerns, and stood firmly with his eyes shining brightly. He would fight, and he would live!

He seemed to have a feeling from the high and far s.p.a.ce, that he was going to have a journey to nirvana, once he went through that dark cruel deathmatch!
