Chapter 244: The Hope of Seizing [Chengtou Earth]!

A soft exclamation, not a hysterical outburst of rage, yet infinitely heavy, as if two great mountains had suddenly crashed down upon the hearts of all who heard it.

Immediately after—

"Boom!"

The purple qi river stretching from north to south suddenly split: one became two, two became three, three became ten thousand things, tearing open a web-like network of cracks.

Then, the cracks turned into real, tangible fissures, forcing the entire purple qi river apart; behind the split river, a pair of immensely huge eyes, seemingly occupying the entire sky, stared down coldly and emotionlessly upon the world!

"Thump!"

In an instant, countless mortals and even Qi Refining cultivators could not hold themselves back, prostrating themselves and kneeling in endless worship, utterly unable to meet the gaze of those eyes.

Only Foundation Establishment True Persons could barely stand firm.

Even so, Lu Yang still felt a towering pressure fall upon him, upon his sea of consciousness, making him instinctively want to kneel.

'What the hell is this!?'

Lu Yang's heart shook violently; he had seen Jin Dan True Lords act before, even twice, but never once had he received such a massive shock!

After all, Jin Dan True Lords still looked human; their Dharma bodies, though towering between heaven and earth, were ultimately human-shaped, merely slightly larger and understandable; yet the pair of purple qi eyes appearing in the sky above had seemingly completely transcended the category of humanity!

The next second, the purple qi eyes slowly focused their gaze.

In an instant, that indescribable immense pressure crashed down upon Master Chongguang; with just that single glance, Master Chongguang, who was in mid-flight, was struck as if by a heavy blow.

"Crack!"

The 【Dongyang Blessed Land】, already reduced several times and left only with its central region, exploded with countless cracks, seemingly about to be crushed by that gaze!

They were not on the same level at all.

Yet at this very moment, a sky full of snow suddenly drifted down from the heavens, and a palm as smooth and warm as jade suddenly landed upon the 【Dongyang Blessed Land】.

"Boom!"

The jade hand radiated brilliant light, and with boundless mighty power, it instantly reassembled the shattered 【Dongyang Blessed Land】, smoothing out all the cracks.

True Person Qingcheng Feixue!

At this moment, this famous madwoman of the Holy Sect looked up at the purple qi eyes in the sky with an expression of pure excitement, showing no fear whatsoever: "It really is the Late Stage!"

As her words fell, the beautiful eyes of True Person Qingcheng Feixue suddenly turned blood-red.

Then she looked at Master Chongguang and said coldly:

"You continue."

True Person Master Chongguang did not respond; instead, he exerted all his strength to push up the Blessed Land, reversing 【Chen Earth】, and slowly ascended toward the direction of 【Fu Fu Deng Huo】.

"I want to see if it is really Ang Xiao!"

Upon hearing these words, Jin Dan True Lords from the Dao Court, Pure Land, Yushu Jiange, and Overseas vanished from their spots, replaced by the stars in the sky above blazing brightly!

Every star that lit up was a Fruit Seat!

At this moment, everyone under heaven felt a sensation; the starlight falling down like chains landed directly upon the purple qi eyes.

Under their pressure, the purple qi eyes originally stretching across heaven and earth gradually shrank, and the vast river-like purple qi gathered into one, finally transforming into a vague figure whose face was indistinct and gender unclear, emitting a light laugh that sounded like a man, a woman, an elder, or a child:

"Why bother?"

This light laugh was completely different from the initial "seek death"; it was no longer cold and indifferent, but truly possessed human emotion.

The next second, heaven and earth grew dark.

All cause-and-effect and heavenly secrets were obscured at this moment; nothing could be seen, and even Foundation Establishment True Persons could not guess the battle situation in the sky.

'Extraordinary, extraordinary.'

Lu Yang lowered his head, two streams of blood tears flowing from his eyes; this was the price of having directly gazed upon the battlefield, but thanks to this, he had seen everything clearly.

'At least ten!'

Besides True Person Qingcheng Feixue, another mysterious True Lord from the Holy Sect had acted, while simultaneously True Lords from the Pure Land, Dao Court, Yushu Jiange, and Overseas had manifested.

More than ten fingers could count them!

'However... this is my opportunity! Now that heavenly secrets are hidden, no one can calculate what happened afterward; it is a perfect chance to kill and steal!'

In an instant, Lu Yang thought of many things.

Obviously, as soon as this mysterious great power who reversed 【Chen Earth】 appeared, he instantly became the target of everyone's attacks; no one was willing to let him go.

However, correspondingly—

'At this moment, the various factions are probably all somewhat empty!'

Including the Pure Land!

At this moment, a bold thought suddenly arose in Lu Yang's heart:

'If, after a few more lifetimes, I can seize this great opportunity, is it possible to take the 【Chengtou Earth】 Fruit Seat while the Pure Land is empty?'

Although the Dao Master still resides within the Pure Land, the Holy Sect also has Dao Masters; the two would cancel each other out, leaving only a group of Bodhisattvas from the Pure Land to deal with; if a bold True Lord were willing to cooperate while the Pure Land is currently empty, there might be a chance to take out the 【Chengtou Earth】!

'But this matter cannot be rushed.'

Seizing the 【Chengtou Earth】 benefits the Holy Sect, so surely a True Lord would be willing to do it, but he must demonstrate sufficient value, at least reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment.

'Ideally, as soon as it is seized, I will immediately seek the Gold.'

'【Chengtou Earth】 has been trapped for a long time; as a hidden Fruit Seat, only I cultivate the related technique, so there will be almost no rejection against me.'

The difficulty lies entirely with the Pure Land.

But changing the perspective, as long as the trouble with the Pure Land is resolved and the 【Chengtou Earth】 is seized, he will almost certainly become a True Lord, with even greater hope than Master Chongguang!

'Even if we take a step back, I don't even need to seize it out; as long as I grab hold of it, even if it remains within the Pure Land, at worst I will restart and bring the Fruit Seat back!'

Thinking of this, Lu Yang suddenly felt his mind broaden.

'Senior Uncle Chongguang, you have done well!'

If it were not for True Person Master Chongguang seeking the Gold, dragging out the huge matter of the 【Chen Earth】 attribute being altered, I would have had no choice but to give up on the 【Chengtou Earth】 in the future.

But now, the situation has taken a new turn!

When he later cultivates to the peak of Foundation Establishment, this could well become a path to seek gold! Though dangers abound, if he succeeds, the reward will be equally substantial!

Just then, Lu Yang suddenly felt the void tremble violently. Immediately after, he discovered he had returned to the Blessed Land—no, to a fragment of the Blessed Land. On the other side, a sword light was descending from the sky. Master Chongguang had indeed kept his promise and sent Ye Guyue over!

But very soon, Lu Yang frowned again: "Not just her."

Besides Ye Guyue, several other escape lights also fell together into the fragment of the Blessed Land.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang immediately reined in his thoughts, then used 【Star-Hiding Radiance】 to conceal his aura, and quietly slipped into position.

"... First, attend to the main task!"

Ye Guyue still possesses a Second-Rank True Art, and if he wishes to make his world-shaking wisdom fully effective, the more reference materials available, the better!
