Chapter 507

Despite facing such a formidable opponent, Lu Yuan's gaze remained firm and calm.

He deeply knew that he wielded the miraculous power of immortal arts, and with the aid of the seven kinds of strange fire, he could match any strong opponent.

"Mo Tian, do you think you can defeat me like this?"

"Don't forget I am Lu Yuan!"

He responded to his opponent with a firm voice.

Lu Yuan silently chanted a spell in his heart, and immediately a strange ripple of symbols spread from his whole body.

This was the barrier formed after he specially set up the Detection Technique—the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword Formation.

The symbols gradually expanded and floated in midair, forming an enormous formation.

"Mo Tian! Come try my new move!"

Lu Yuan gathered the strange fire power surging on his Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand and poured it into the formation.

Lightning and fire intertwined, the formation began to tremble, and a powerful energy formed a vortex within the formation.

Mo Tian warily gazed at the center of the formation, realizing the situation was unfavorable, and he intensified his attack to try to break through.

However, just as he was about to unleash his fiercest strike, a figure shot out like lightning and blocked Lu Yuan's path—it was his good friend Mo Di.

"Mo Tian! This time is your end!"

Mo Di threw punches at astonishing speed, each accompanied by a piercing dragon's roar.

The aura emanating from his body perfectly merged with the dragon's might possessing him, forming an incomparable power.

Lu Yuan watched Mo Di block Mo Tian's attack for him, and gratitude welled up in his heart.

The two brothers had endured countless battles, supporting each other in dire straits.

"Thank you, Mo Di!" Lu Yuan exclaimed emotionally.

He knew he was fortunate to have found such a sincere and reliable friend who guarded his life and death together.

"Our brotherhood is as deep as the sea; how could we let that Mo Tian succeed?" Mo Di replied with heroic fervor.

The two cooperated tacitly, moving in unison to simultaneously activate the seven kinds of strange fire power.

Flames, molten rock, lightning, vegetation, water waves, icy cold, and strange power intertwined, forming a terrifying vortex of strange fire.

"Come on, Mo Tian! We'll give you a heavy blow!"

Lu Yuan gripped the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword, full of confidence, and launched an attack on Mo Tian. Lu Yuan and Mo Di's offensive continued fiercely, and they had already inflicted some damage on Mo Tian.

However, Mo Tian was not willing to accept defeat; he suddenly let out a violent roar, and his body instantly erupted with even greater dragon's might.

Thunderclap Canyon began to shake violently, and the air filled with an oppressive and dangerous atmosphere.

Mo Tian's eyes were filled with madness and fury, and he without hesitation initiated self-detonation.

"I will not let you leave alive!" Mo Tian snarled ferociously.

Facing this sudden drastic change, Lu Yuan and Mo Di exchanged a glance, silently conveying their thoughts.

In the urgent situation, they both knew that abandoning the Immortal Dao Assembly and retreating to Heavenly Initiation City was the only way out.

"We retreat! Now!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly.

The two retreated like lightning, successfully leaping out of Thunderclap Canyon before the self-detonation triggered a massive energy explosion.

The entire canyon turned into a hell resembling divine judgment, as if the apocalypse had descended, and terrifying destructive power blanketed the whole area.

Outside Heavenly Initiation City, Lu Yuan and Mo Di landed heavily, their chests rising and falling violently as they gazed upon the ruins of Thunderclap Canyon, all lamenting the terrifying power Mo Tian had displayed.

"This situation is quite dire."

Lu Yuan clenched his fists and said, "We must make more thorough preparations to oppose Mo Tian."

"Yes, he has already come quite close to that realm."

Mo Di half-closed his eyes in thought, saying, "We need more power to deal with him." Lu Yuan glumly returned to the interior of Heavenly Initiation City; his wounds caused him great pain.

He endured the pain, step by step advancing toward the center of Huangcheng.

The atmosphere inside Heavenly Initiation City was unusually tense, with people chatting excitedly, all paying attention to the outcome of the earlier incident.

The cultivators gathered together to converse, their expressions solemn and worried.

"Have you heard? Mo Tian's strength is beyond imagination."

A cultivator whispered, "The energy erupting from the immortal arts ruins is simply terrifying to the extreme."

"That Lu Yuan and Mo Di could survive in that environment is already a miracle."

Another cultivator sighed, "It seems we still underestimated the opponent's strength."

Lu Yuan felt the surrounding chatter, his heart feeling somewhat bitter.

He knew that although this battle had made some progress, compared to Mo Tian the gap was still too great.

The city guards were busy clearing debris and ruins, striving to restore this originally tranquil place.

Faced with the enormous task, they dared not slack off, constantly rushing about in the howling wind.

Lu Yuan strove to keep his goal in mind, advancing toward the center of Huangcheng.

He could feel the city guards' gaze upon him, and also hear the cultivators' low murmurs.

"Is that Lu Yuan? What an outstanding young man." Someone praised.

"Looking at his appearance now, he seems badly wounded." Another person speculated.

Lu Yuan paid no heed to their talk; he focused solely on reaching Huangcheng to treat his wounds there.

His steps were arduous, each filled with determination and resolve. Lu Yuan trudged forward with difficulty, finally arriving at the center of Huangcheng in Heavenly Initiation City.

He felt his wounds growing heavier, yet he did not stop his steps.

At that moment, a lovely figure walked over from the side.

She was the princess of Heavenly Initiation City, dressed in a splendid gown, her lips slightly parted, her eyes brimming with tears.

She looked at the pained, struggling Lu Yuan and said affectionately, "Lu Yuan brother, please join my forces."

"Only by staying with me can you receive better care and protection."

Lu Yuan stopped his steps, shook his head firmly: "Princess, I appreciate your concern and kindness, but I am a person who practices chivalry and righteousness."

"My mission is to protect the people, save all beings, and ultimately defeat evil forces. I cannot bind myself to a single faction."

The princess gazed at Lu Yuan with moist eyes: "Lu Yuan brother, please consider again."

"My father once said, you possess unmatched strength and courage."

"If you are willing to join our Heavenly Initiation City, I will do my utmost to help you."

Lu Yuan let out a soft sigh: "Princess, I understand your good intentions."

"But I must follow my heart, to pursue freedom and justice."

"My enemies are strong, but only on the path of freedom can I unleash my greatest power."

The princess lowered her head, tears sliding onto the ground: "Lu Yuan brother, please be careful."

"I hope you can remain safe and unharmed, and achieve victory." (End of chapter)
