Chapter 152: Di Jun Forced Out of Seclusion! Taiyi Takes the Opportunity to Ambush Lu Yun!
On the Wenqu Star.
Lu Yun slowly let out a breath, then decisively consumed some recovery pills and began to circulate his cultivation technique to rapidly restore his magic power.
The first three bolts of lightning of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Tribulation were merely appetizers, as the first three were simply lightning strikes.
And in the following six bolts of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Fire Disaster, Water Disaster, and Wind Disaster would appear, which would definitely be even more troublesome.
Even though he had made various preparations, he dared not let his guard down and took every opportunity during the intervals of the Heavenly Tribulation to recover his magic power as quickly as possible.
And just as he began to recover, the live broadcast room exploded with activity.
Jiang Ye: "Damn, Big Brother Lu Yun is awesome!"
You Fang: "This... this is truly shocking! The Ziwei Star is the Emperor Star; can Big Brother Lu Yun actually borrow its power to resist the Heavenly Tribulation?"
Fang Wenjie: "Hahaha, you newbies are stunned, aren't you! Did you really think Big Brother Lu Yun was just talking before?"
Liu Yang: "It is indeed too shocking! Big Brother Lu Yun's strength and methods are far beyond our imagination!"
Zhou Yu: "Hehe, Lu Yun is prepared to borrow the Demon Race's Zhou Tian Star Formation to transcend the tribulation; this is just the beginning!"
At the same time, on the battlefield near the Sun Star, many Great Desolation powerhouses were also shocked by this move of Lu Yun's.
"That Human Race member Lu Yun can actually mobilize the power of the Ziwei Star? How is this possible?"
"Isn't the Ziwei Star the foundation of the Heavenly Court? How can he borrow its power to resist the Heavenly Tribulation?"
"Could this be the method of the Holy Mother of the Human Race, Nuwa?"
"Impossible! Even a Saint cannot mobilize the power of the Ziwei Star at will!"
"Then how on earth did this Human Race member Lu Yun manage to do it?"
For a time, many Great Desolation powerhouses felt suspicious and uncertain about Lu Yun's methods.
As for the Demon Race side, Taiyi and the Ten Great Demon Sages had increasingly ugly expressions.
They did know that Lu Yun must have seized the Ziwei Star Banner on the Ziwei Star to be able to mobilize the power of the Ziwei Star.
However, it was precisely because they knew the reason that they were even more furious.
"This Lu Yun must die!"
Taiyi stared coldly at the figure of Lu Yun in the distance who was transcending the tribulation, "Otherwise, he will surely become a great threat to our Demon Race in the future!"
The Ten Great Demon Sages also nodded in agreement one after another; they had already developed deep killing intent toward Lu Yun.
However, they could only watch helplessly as Lu Yun transcended the tribulation and were unable to make a move.
Because they still had to deal with the siege of the Wu Clan and many Great Desolation powerhouses, they simply could not spare the effort to deal with Lu Yun.
Although Taiyi was incomparably furious in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time to be impulsive.
He took a deep breath to forcibly suppress the anger in his heart, then coldly glanced at the figure of Lu Yun in the distance and gritted his teeth: "Hmph! So what if you become a Great Luo Golden Immortal? Once we resolve the current predicament, it will be your death day!"
Just as his voice fell, another voice suddenly came: "Why wait?"
Taiyi and the Ten Great Demon Sages could not help but perk up, their gazes immediately looking toward the direction the voice came from, and joy suddenly appeared on their faces.
"Elder Brother!"
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor!"
It turned out that the person who had just made that sound was none other than Di Jun, who had been in secluded cultivation! At this moment, his figure was flying out from above the Sun Star.
Seeing Di Jun appear, the Demon Sages first thought: Could it be that His Majesty has successfully attained the Dao? Then they were disappointed again, because although the aura on Di Jun was powerful, it was still only that of a Quasi-Saint and had not reached the level of a Saint.
Taiyi hurried to fly in front of Di Jun and asked: "Elder Brother, why have you come out of seclusion early?"
Di Jun looked coldly at the Twelve Ancestral Witches outside the Zhou Tian Star Formation, as well as Lu Yun in the image manifested by Taiyi, and said in a deep voice: "If this Demon Emperor did not come out of seclusion, I fear our Demon Race would completely lose all face!"
Di Jun's words revealed deep majesty and dissatisfaction; his gaze was like a torch, as if it could pierce through the void and look directly into the heart of every member of the Demon Race.
The Demon Sages all lowered their heads, not daring to meet Di Jun's gaze. They knew that Di Jun was speaking the truth. For some time now, the Demon Race had suffered repeated setbacks, first suffering a great loss at the hands of the Wu Clan, and then being turned upside down by this Human Race brat Lu Yun inside the Zhou Tian Star Formation. The face of the Demon Race had indeed been lost.
Taiyi looked at Di Jun, a trace of shame flashing in his eyes, and said: "Elder Brother, it is our incompetence that has disappointed you."
Di Jun shook his head and said: "This is not your fault, only that the Wu Clan and that Human Race member are too cunning and shameless. However, since I have come out of seclusion, I will never let them be so arrogant any longer!"
Taiyi immediately replied: "With Elder Brother making a move, we will certainly be able to counter-kill them!"
Di Jun said coldly: "Next, this Demon Emperor will personally preside over the Zhou Tian Star Formation; Taiyi, you take this opportunity to break out and ambush that damned Lu Yun outside!"
"No problem! I have long wanted to kill that Human Race member!"
After speaking, he turned to look at the Twelve Ancestral Witches and others on the battlefield: "Remnants of the Wu Clan! Today is your death day! Die!"
Before his voice had faded, his figure suddenly transformed into a golden rainbow light, rushing straight to ambush the Ancestral Witch Zhurong!
Such a sudden move left the Twelve Ancestral Witches and other Great Desolation powerhouses besieging the Sun Star stunned, all feeling somewhat surprised.
Because of the concealment of the array, the people outside did not know that Di Jun had come out of seclusion.
At this moment, they still thought that Taiyi had been provoked by them to the point of losing his mind, and was now actually abandoning the array to rush out alone to fight them!
"Courting death!"
Zhurong let out a cold laugh, not afraid of Taiyi at all; his figure suddenly and rapidly grew larger, transforming into a terrifying fire giant a thousand feet tall, and lunged at Taiyi!
But just as his palm was about to grab Taiyi, Taiyi's figure suddenly changed direction, avoiding his palm, and then rapidly sped off toward the direction of the Ziwei Star!
"Not good!"
"It's a trap!"
"This Taiyi is truly too cunning!"
"His target is Lu Yun!"
Seeing this scene, the other Ancestral Witches all had their expressions change, and anger also appeared in their eyes.
Zhurong was naturally also enraged by Taiyi, but Taiyi's speed was too fast, and Zhurong himself was not skilled in speed, so even if he wanted to chase, he could not catch up to Taiyi.
The Space Ancestral Witch Dijiang sneered and was about to use his Space Great Dao Divine Ability to intercept Taiyi. But just as he was about to move, Di Jun's voice unexpectedly entered his ears: "Dijiang, this Demon Emperor never said you could leave!"
As the voice fell, the Zhou Tian Star Formation suddenly shone with brilliant light, rapidly sealing off the void in all directions and directly intercepting Dijiang.
Dijiang's figure paused, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the Sun Star, his eyes narrowing slightly: "You mangy Di Jun, have you finally stopped acting like a coward?"
Di Jun hovered above the Sun Star with an expressionless face, his body radiant with starlight, like an emperor in the night sky. He responded coldly: "Dijiang, you and the other members of the Wu Clan actually dare to intrude into Outer Space; today shall be your doomsday!"
Dijiang sneered with disdain: "Not much skill, but quite a big mouth!"
"Boom—"
Both sides unleashed their Supernatural Powers and began to clash fiercely.
Relying on the Zhou Tian Star Formation, Di Jun could naturally not be countered by Dijiang alone, but the other Ancestral Witches also struck immediately, and other Great Desolation powerhouses who had long been hoping to seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi from Di Jun also joined the fray; the Demon Race side could not gain any advantage at all.
On the battlefield, only Houtu had no heart for fighting at this moment.
Having just been intercepted by Di Jun, the others were unable to stop Taiyi in time, and Taiyi had already vanished from everyone's sight, which made her very worried about Lu Yun's safety.
After all, the Great Luo Golden Immortal Tribulation is different from the Immortal Ascension Tribulation and the Golden Immortal Tribulation; even if someone attacks the person undergoing the tribulation during the process, they will not be affected by the Heavenly Tribulation in the slightest!
In other words, Taiyi could completely deliver a fatal blow to Lu Yun at the critical moment of his tribulation! Thinking of this, Houtu quickly broke away from the Sun Star battlefield and headed straight for the Ziwei Star as well.
Unfortunately, the Earth Great Dao Law she mastered had no advantage in speed, and even at full effort, she could not catch up to Taiyi, so she could only worry for Lu Yun in her heart while continuing to rush toward the Ziwei Star.
On the Wenqu Star.
Kunpeng had also been startled by the commotion caused by Lu Yun's tribulation.
He could not help but open his eyes and look toward the Sun Star, seeing Taiyi using the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique, rapidly approaching the Ziwei Star.
He glanced toward Lu Wen, his gaze somewhat playful, assuming the other party must be very anxious right now.
To his surprise, Lu Wen was terrifyingly calm, as if he did not care at all that Taiyi was going to the Ziwei Star to assassinate Lu Yun! This left Kunpeng not knowing how to react for a moment.
One must know that in terms of combat strength alone, Taiyi was even above Di Jun, especially that Eastern Emperor Bell, whose power was terrifyingly immense; Kunpeng had personally experienced it back then, which was why he had no choice but to submit to Di Jun and Taiyi and join the Demon Race.
Kunpeng really could not imagine what ability Lu Yun could have to withstand Taiyi's assassination!
In the end, Kunpeng shook his head and decided to wait and see what would happen, to see what other capabilities Lu Yun had, or perhaps what other arrangements Nuwa had made!...
On the Ziwei Star.
"Crackle, crackle..."
The Tribulation Cloud churned, lightning flickered, and an aura of slaughter permeated the entire starry sky.
Lu Yun sat cross-legged, watching the Tribulation Cloud above his head with a solemn expression.
At this moment, the fourth Heavenly Tribulation had finished brewing, and the tribulation lightning, thicker than the previous three, roared down like an angry dragon, carrying the terrifying power to destroy everything.
What was even more terrifying was that this time, the Heavenly Tribulation was accompanied by a terrifying flame surrounding the main body of the tribulation lightning, making this bolt of lightning look like a massive fire dragon as it headed straight for Lu Yun!
Seeing this scene, the corners of Lu Yun's mouth curled up slightly: "The first thing to arrive is actually a Fire Disaster? This wave is stable!"
Practicing the Star Transformation, he was already an expert at playing with fire; there were only a handful of flames in this Great Desolation that could pose a threat to him, and the flames carried by this Heavenly Tribulation could not make him feel threatened at all! Therefore, Lu Yun did not use any other Spiritual Treasure, but continued to mobilize the power of the Ziwei Star, urging the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife to strike at the flaming thunder dragon descending from the sky! "Boom—!"
The flaming thunder dragon was instantly split in two, but it did not dissipate; instead, it continued to fall and struck Lu Yun fiercely.
In an instant, Lu Yun's entire body was enveloped in lightning and flames, and waves of powerful electric currents and scorching flames raged within his body! Seeing this, the viewers in the live broadcast room could not help but break into a cold sweat for Lu Yun.
"The power of this Great Luo Golden Immortal Tribulation is too terrifying! Even just watching the live stream, I feel like I can't breathe!"
"Will Boss Lu really be okay?"
"Sh... should be, right?"
"Why hasn't Lu Yun mobilized the Zhou Tian Star Formation to resist the Heavenly Tribulation? Could it be that he hasn't mastered what Boss Qin uploaded yet?"
"No! Perhaps it's because he feels he can still hold on?"
"Look, someone is coming over there! That seems to be... Eastern Emperor Taiyi!"
"Hiss! Is he here to take advantage of the situation to assassinate Boss Lu Yun?"
Taiyi's figure happened to arrive near the Ziwei Star at this moment, and seeing this scene, he could not help but laugh out loud: "What a reckless Human Race, to actually dare to underestimate the Great Luo Golden Immortal Tribulation like this!"
He even felt a bit of regret; if Lu Yun died under the Heavenly Tribulation, he would have no way to take revenge.
However, having arrived here, he could conveniently retrieve the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, so it wouldn't be a wasted trip.
Yet, just as Taiyi was thinking about retrieving the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and then going back to catch the Wu Clan off guard, Lu Yun was not destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation as he had imagined.
On the contrary, the starlight around Lu Yun became even more brilliant, as if he were resisting the Heavenly Tribulation, and the flames were more like a supplement to him, being rapidly absorbed and refined.
Although his face was pale, his eyes were incomparably firm, as if he were engaged in a silent contest with the Heavenly Tribulation.
"This... how is this possible?"
A flash of shock and doubt crossed Taiyi's eyes, but it was mostly killing intent.
"This Lu Yun really has some tricks; no wonder my brother and the others suffered losses before!"
"However, even if you can withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, so what? Today you will surely die!"
Taiyi gave a cold shout in his heart and accelerated toward Lu Yun.
The Eastern Emperor Bell in his hand was already prepared, waiting only to get close to Lu Yun to deliver a fatal blow.
He did not know that the Map of Mountains and Rivers was currently on the Ziwei Star, and his every move was falling into the eyes of Nuwa within the Map of Mountains and Rivers! Nuwa naturally saw through Taiyi's intentions, and her expression suddenly turned cold.
Now, she was increasingly disgusted with the Demon Race, including Di Jun and Taiyi; seeing Taiyi trying to take advantage of the situation to kill Lu Yun, whom she valued highly, she naturally did not want to be polite to Taiyi and prepared to take action to give Taiyi a surprise!
But just as Nuwa was ready to take action, an unexpected change occurred again.
Lu Yun, who had been focused on resisting the Heavenly Tribulation, suddenly cast his gaze toward Taiyi, and a smile actually appeared at the corners of his mouth.
The next moment—
"Hum!"
Another gourd appeared in Lu Yun's hand, which was none other than another Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd! Once this item appeared, whether it was Taiyi or Nuwa, or even Houtu who had barely managed to arrive nearby, all could not help but widen their eyes in shock! (End of chapter)
