NOVEL WEB Chapter 0700: Demon Dragon Barrier
Senior Fan of the Heavenly Jade Sect was preparing to rush over and kill Chen Yu to earn great merit for his sect.
But the scene unfolding before him made his eyes bulge, and he was stunned for a moment.
He had thought that with his arrival, Chen Yu would be so frightened that he would immediately flee.
Yet contrary to his expectations, Chen Yu was ferociously domineering. Before he could reach him, Chen Yu had launched a rapid assault on three of the Heavenly Jade Sect's members.
Two Half-step Sky Sea Disciples had been struck down by Chen Yu and fell to their deaths from the mountain, while Senior Sister Lu was severely injured by him.
Senior Fan's face turned red with shame and anger, feeling that Chen Yu had not only ignored his words but had also slighted him as a person.
However, the combat strength that Chen Yu had just displayed was truly terrifying. It seemed he had even mastered the Spatial Realm Power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to suppress Senior Sister Lu so firmly.
One matter at a time, Chen Yu had killed members of the Heavenly Jade Sect right before his eyes. There was no way Senior Fan could let this go.
"Chen Yu, prepare to die!"
Senior Fan advanced with his sword, its blade shimmering with starlight, transforming into streaks of Sword Qi that surrounded him like stars around the moon, elevating him to the stature of a Sword Immortal.
On the other side, He Yunwang, who was battling the old monk, suddenly abandoned his opponent and charged toward where Senior Sister Lu had fallen.
Seeing He Yunwang rushing toward her, Senior Sister Lu's expression tensed, and she bit her lip, realizing he had discovered the "Elemental Fire Stone" behind her.
In fact, after she had fallen heavily injured, she had been preparing to heal herself before joining Senior Fan to fight against Chen Yu.
But she had unexpectedly found a crystal in the soil that resembled an "Elemental Fire Stone," so she pretended her injuries were more severe and collapsed again, planning to quietly keep the Fire Element Stone for herself.
Little did she know that He Yunwang's eyes were too sharp and he also spotted the Fire Element Stone.
"He Yunwang, I discovered this Fire Element Stone first. What do you think you're doing?"
Senior Sister Lu immediately shouted out.
"Heh, thick-faced," He Yunwang sneered with a ridiculing smile.
"You were defeated by a Half-step Sky Sea Realm opponent and fell down here, revealing the treasure, and now you claim you found it first?"
He Yunwang cursed under his breath, but when he realized that there was treasure involved, he prioritized it over any grudge against Chen Yu or the old monk. If he could secure the treasure, he would escape from this place and seek revenge another day.
Senior Sister Lu trembled slightly, badly injured as she was. She could only exert thirty to forty percent of her strength and was no match for He Yunwang.
But she hadn't expected He Yunwang to be so ruthlessly decisive, turning his back on her without a moment's hesitation.
Senior Sister Lu could only place her hopes on Senior Fan and urgently sent a telepathic message asking for help.
"Elemental Fire Stone...stop, thief! Don't even think about stealing the treasure discovered by a disciple of my Heavenly Jade Sect."
Senior Fan, about to strike at Chen Yu, immediately turned around upon hearing Senior Sister Lu's message and claimed the treasure in the name of the Heavenly Jade Sect.
Then, without delay, Senior Fan flew forward and aimed a sword strike at He Yunwang.
The dazzling starlight converged into a shimmering lunar blade of starlight, with a piercingly sharp Sword Intent, slicing through the sky and descending with force.
This splendid and powerful attack from the Sword Dao locked onto He Yunwang, leaving him nowhere to hide.
"This is a real hassle..."
He Yunwang muttered a curse, immediately retaliating by unleashing his power of the realm and executing a fierce claw technique.
Boom!
Two dark purple bursts of wild claw light, one after the other, tore towards the splendid sword light, finally culminating in an explosive outburst that shattered in all directions.
"As expected of someone on the 'Heaven's Pride List,' his strength is almost equal to mine," Senior Fan thought to himself with a hint of envy.
Already over fifty, he was no longer eligible to be on the "Heaven's Pride List."
Suddenly.
Swoosh!
A shadow of black and gold charged furiously downward, sweeping up a whirlwind of dark flames like the tail of a dragon or feathers of a phoenix, skimming past Senior Fan.
"Chen Yu!"
Senior Fan bellowed, watching as Chen Yu descended at an astonishingly fast pace.
At this moment, Chen Yu's heart was charged with energy, amplifying his speed. Coupled with the boost from his Golden Phoenix Wing and the melded Spatial Realm Power, Chen Yu's velocity peaked, slightly surpassing that of Senior Fan and the Purple-clothed Demon.
"How dare he steal right under my nose, the Purple-clothed Demon!"
He Yunwang bellowed, diving down.
"This is a treasure discovered by a disciple of my Heavenly Jade Sect!" bellowed Senior Fan, flying downwards as well.
All three converged in a beeline toward Senior Sister Lu's location, but Chen Yu was the first to arrive.
Boom!
Chen Yu hit the ground, causing a loud impact.
He Yunwang and Senior Fan, furious and indignant, immediately launched their attacks.
Waves of power from the Heaven and Earth Realm surged, and at this moment, the combined forces of two Peak Early-stage Sky Sea Realm combatants lashed out at Chen Yu.
The skies changed as two dark purple demonic claws conjured a violent tornado, charging towards Chen Yu.
On the other side, two luminescent crescent moons formed a cross, radiantly gleaming as they plummeted down.
Faced with the attacks of He Yunwang and Senior Fan, two formidable Sky Sea combatants, Chen Yu sensed an intense crisis. Even if he activated his demon scales for protection or donned his Demon Scale Armor, he could not withstand the assaults of these powerful opponents.
In addition, within Chen Yu's body, not only was there the Golden Winged Phoenix bloodline that he had absorbed in Bishui Bay, but also Hua Rong's "Ice Scale Bloodline" noted for its defensive capabilities—but he could not reveal it now or it would arouse suspicion.
Meanwhile, the old monk Lu Ling watched the scene unfold with tremendous anxiety.
He couldn't expose the powers of the Blood Race, nor could he take a hit for Chen Yu. If he were injured, Chen Yu would sustain the same injuries. His own true identity would also possibly be exposed.
Just at this moment, demonic Qi surged around Chen Yu, and an odd, ancient pattern emerged on his pitch-black back!
This massive demon pattern was the result of Chen Yu cultivating the sixth layer of the "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record."
Buzz!
On the demon pattern, one could see dense demonic scales interwoven with what seemed like the shadow of a dragon baring its teeth and claws, shaking one's soul.
"Demon Dragon Barrier!"
Chen Yu waved his palms forward, and the demon pattern, propelled by a vast amount of Demon Pattern True Essence, came in front of him, turning into a pitch-black and substantial Scale Armor wall.
This was the battle technique corresponding to the "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record"'s sixth demon pattern, renowned as the number one defensive cultivation technique in the Kunyun Realm's ancient and modern history; it was also a defensive battle technique.
Boom!
The furious strike from the two mighty enemies descended, emitting a dull, thunderous sound. The terrifying force continued to bombard and attempted to shatter the "Demon Dragon Barrier."
Chen Yu's arms trembled slightly, rocks beneath his feet shattered and burst open, his True Yuan flowed continuously into it.
The Demon Dragon Barrier was an extremely powerful defensive battle technique and consumed a lot of True Yuan.
In theory, as long as Chen Yu had enough True Yuan, he could keep it up.
For instance, at this moment, despite the Demon Dragon Barrier almost breaking, Chen Yu's continuous influx of True Yuan could still block the enemy's attacks.
Three breaths later, the immense pressure from above finally dissipated, and Chen Yu's arms relaxed.
He felt that he had used up as much as twenty percent of his True Yuan.
The higher the grade of the battle technique or secret technique, the greater the consumption, plus the characteristic of the Demon Dragon Barrier that heavily consumed True Yuan, led to such a result.
Behind him, Senior Sister Lu was lying on the ground, looking utterly horrified.
Just a moment ago, she was thinking that if Chen Yu failed to block the attacks from He Yunwang and Senior Fan, she would have to join Chen Yu in death.
But now, she felt that the scene she had just witnessed was too unreal!
Across, He Yunwang and Senior Fan, seeing Chen Yu block their combined attack, were as startled as if they had seen a ghost. Is this really only a Half-step Sky Sea? Can he not be so terrifying?
"It must be a secret technique, with great consumption and not capable of being used many times, and it likely has side effects too."
Senior Fan consoled himself inwardly.
Meanwhile, the old monk Lu Ling narrowed his eyes, closely observing Chen Yu, and his heart also stirred.
"This young man's strength has increased quite a bit since last time."
Originally, Lu Ling was confident that he would kill Chen Yu with absolute certainty, but now, he had to adjust his mindset to prevent any carelessness leading to unexpected incidents.
Bang!
Chen Yu stamped his foot hard, and the ground cracked open, revealing a red crystal stone completely.
That red Stone was crystal clear, with what seemed like flames burning fiercely inside, casting brilliant flares of fiery light.
"Such a large Elemental Fire Stone."
Senior Fan's eyes showed a trace of surprise, for the Elemental Fire Stone was a full three feet long.
"Is this the Elemental Fire Stone?"
Chen Yu took one look and immediately stored it in his spatial storage.
Fire Element Stones could allow a Sky Sea Realm Venerable to comprehend the power of fire and grasp the realm of fire, boosting their strength.
The realm of fire, among the many realms of heaven and earth, is relatively simple and easy to comprehend, which is why such treasures are very popular.
At this moment, Chen Yu sensed a faint noise to his side.
Boom!
Without a word, he threw a punch, a black-striped Demon Fist, carrying a ferocious wind, struck out and hit Senior Sister Lu, who was attempting to escape.
Thump, thump, thump!
Senior Sister Lu's body was smashed by Chen Yu and flew more than ten meters away, rolling several times and leaving a trail of blood before crashing into a rock, motionless.
"Chen Yu, you've killed another disciple of the Heavenly Jade Sect. You won't leave Burning Sun Mountain alive today."
Senior Fan, witnessing Chen Yu consuming the Fire Element Stone and killing another member of the Heavenly Jade Sect from the Sky Sea Realm, was filled with raging fury, exploding like thunder.
"Let's take action together."
He Yunwang sneered, his gaze frosty and filled with a fierce intent to kill.
Senior Fan nodded, not refusing.
The two, who had just turned against each other over interests, were now once again forming an alliance.
At that moment, a voice incongruous with the atmosphere intervened, "Amitabha."
"Both donors, lay down your butcher knives, and turn back, for salvation is at hand."
The old monk slowly walked over to Chen Yu.
"You, you…"
He Yunwang, upon seeing the old monk, was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"You dead bald donkey, didn't you see this man just now killing two Half-step Sky Sea individuals and another woman from the Sky Sea Realm? He is the one who has committed heinous killings. Why are you always opposing me?"
He Yunwang was angry, frustrated, and helpless, his tone even carrying a plea.
Chen Yu was also taken aback, looking at the old monk with bewilderment.
If the other party truly was a high monk with compassion for all, having not intervened after he had just killed so many people, and even protected Chen Yu, could there be some hidden reason?
"Donor, your words are incorrect. Just now it was clearly those few who were malicious towards the young donor. He was merely defending himself and killing the enemy, without any fault."
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ling came up with this reasoning.
But he too felt it was a stretch and to prevent Chen Yu from suspecting anything, he added, "This poor monk only wishes that the donors may put aside their grievances and hatred and lay down their butcher knives to immediately find enlightenment."
