Chapter 698: Chapter 698: 360: Nether God's Spear, Lin Jingtian_2

“`

The battle room was constructed from specialized Profound Stones and equipped with numerous Runes and Prohibitions, so that, even if one unleashed Divine Abilities with full force, it would still be difficult to cause any damage.

“After mastering the Nether God’s Spear, my strength will certainly reach a new level, and then I can set out on missions with confidence,” Lu Yun mused.

After calming his mind, the cultivation technique for the Nether God’s Spear from the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength appeared in Lu Yun’s Sea of Consciousness.

Half a month later.

Lu Yun’s eyes snapped open, and as he reached out his right hand, Divine Power surged from the Elephant Microparticles within his body, gushing forth, and in the battle room, a purple-black lance enveloped in pitch-black flames materialized, as if it could destroy everything.

“Go!”

With a gentle push of his right hand, the purple-black lance enshrouded in pitch-black flames stabbed forward, carrying a momentum that seemed capable of piercing through all things in the world, thundering towards the Prohibitions ahead.

Boom!

Songs of praise for the Nether God resounded, accompanied by the sharp sound of swords, echoing throughout. The defensive barrier generated by the Prohibition Array shattered with a crack under the strike of the lance.

“The Nether God’s Spear is complete!”

Creak, the door of the battle room was pushed open, and Li Zhichang walked in. Seeing the battle room in disarray, he said with a wry smile, “Lu Yun, can you take it easy? You’re almost ruining this battle room.”

“Don’t worry, if I’m going to practice Divine Abilities again, I’ll find a new place. The Prohibition Arrays in the battle rooms for ordinary disciples are too weak.”

Then, Lu Yun asked, “Is it just you here, where are Yuan Fei and Brother Wei?”

“Yuan Fei is still at the old spot, battling others on the battle platform. Wei Xinhuh has gone to the Profound Sky Wall to comprehend the rules,” Li Zhichang answered.

“I was actually planning to go out myself, but I ran into someone at the door who said she was looking for you. I’ve brought her to the living room.”

“Looking for me?” Lu Yun said, puzzled, then he left the battle room.

The Prohibition Array inside the battle room absorbed the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi to repair itself, so there was no need for him to worry about it.

After arriving in the living room, he saw Yuan Yao sitting on a chair, her beautiful eyes curiously scanning the surroundings.

“Junior Sister Yuan Yao?”

“Junior Brother Lu!”

Their voices almost coincided, and Li Zhichang, standing aside, cast a meaningful glance at the two before saying, “I’ll leave you two to talk,” and he left.

Lu Yun looked at Yuan Yao and sized her up, “You’ve made another breakthrough, your progress is far too speedy!”

“I can’t compare to you, Junior Brother Lu. I exchanged the points from the last mission for a Purple Extreme Elixir, plus the previous Sky Serpent Fruit, and only then did I barely break through to the sixth level of the Heavenly Human Realm,” Yuan Yao admitted, then deliberately glanced at Lu Yun and was surprised to find that she couldn’t sense his cultivation level, exclaiming, “You couldn’t possibly have reached the tenth level of the Heavenly Human Realm, could you?”

As a sixth-level Heavenly Human, with her consciousness far stronger than those of similar rank, she could ascertain anyone’s cultivation up to the tenth level of Heavenly Human Realm.

Lu Yun immediately shook his head, “I’m still at the seventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm, but I’ve cultivated a Divine Ability to hide my realm. Unless I reveal my energy, others cannot detect it.”

After Lu Yun’s explanation, Yuan Yao relaxed. She was aware of such Divine Abilities to hide one’s realm. Nearly all of the powerful disciples from Tai Yuan vein cultivated at least one. She also wanted to cultivate one herself, but with normal cultivation time and resources already insufficient, she was reluctant to invest time and energy into it right now.

“Junior Brother Lu, I have a rather good mission that I’d like to invite you to join, would you be interested?” Yuan Yao cut straight to the point.

Lu Yun’s interest was piqued, “What kind of mission? Sister, please give me the details first.”

He had just mastered the Nether God’s Spear and exhausted all his Cultivation Resources, so he had been considering taking on a mission.

With his current identity and Realm, to undertake high-reward missions, only team-oriented ones were suitable.

In a team mission, having an acquaintance he knew well couldn’t be better.

“It’s an extermination mission,” Yuan Yao explained. “One of the Small Worlds under the jurisdiction of Green Flame Palace is called Longwu Continent, which is somewhat similar to the Desolate Origin World, but with deeper foundations and stronger powers, its strongest beings are roughly at the second level of the Unity Realm.”

“However, two years ago, a magical calamity suddenly struck Longwu Continent, countless lives were slaughtered, and the guardians of Longwu Continent were powerless to resolve it, and thus they reported the situation.”

“`

“Magical calamity?” Lu Yun suddenly thought of the demon he had encountered in the Desolate Origin World and couldn’t help murmuring to himself, “I wonder if that demon has anything to do with the magical calamity on the Longwu Continent.”

“Junior Brother Lu, what did you just say?”

“Nothing, I was just recalling some past events.” Lu Yun replied casually before asking, “According to what Sister just said, there are Unity Realm Experts on the Longwu Continent, and there must be more than one of them. With such strength, they still can’t resolve the magical calamity. So, there must be quite a number of people participating in this team task, right?”@@novelbin@@

“Of course, this team task is led by three Elite Disciples, and the disciples at the Heavenly Human Realm have to be at least at the Second level five and above. In total, there are one hundred and eighty places.”

The Elite Disciples of Green Flame Palace are at the very least at the Unity Realm, and all possess the ability to fight beyond their level.

Even those just entering the Unity Realm have strength no less than an average Second level two expert of Unity Realm.

Plus, with more than a hundred Official Disciples of Heavenly Human Realm on board, such a formidable team would be enough to forcefully push through the Longwu Continent.

With this in mind, Lu Yun felt much more at ease. However, he didn’t agree immediately and instead asked, “What about the task rewards?”

“As long as you complete the task, each person will receive ten thousand points. Of course, that’s just a small amount; the real bulk of the points comes from the points earned by slaying Demon Beasts.”

Seeing that Lu Yun wanted to continue asking questions, Yuan Yao said, “Junior Brother, the spots are limited. Let’s go sign up first. I’ll explain the details to you along the way.”

On the way, Yuan Yao roughly explained the specific details of the mission and other related information to Lu Yun.

The three thousand Big Worlds along with other Medium Worlds and Small Worlds are collectively known as the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Beyond the Mountain and Sea Realm lies the vast universe.

Within the universe, there exist many terrifying beings, including Starry Sky Behemoths, Outer Domain Demons, and so on.

Starry Sky Behemoths are manageable at least, suppressed by the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, daring not to enter rashly.

But those Outer Domain Demons possess powerful devouring abilities, not only devouring all manner of life but also swallowing the essence of Small Worlds.

Although Outer Domain Demons also cannot enter the Mountain and Sea Realm, they are more cunning, specifically looking for weak spots in the realm barriers and then descending upon some Small Worlds in the form of magical calamities, gradually devouring their essence to enhance themselves.

Many Small Worlds in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and even some Medium Worlds, are at risk of an Outer Domain Demon breaching through weak spots in the barriers at any moment, sparking a magical calamity.

The Longwu Continent is just one of these places.

Lu Yun wanted to learn more, but Yuan Yao smiled and said, “We’ve arrived at the mission hall now; let’s go get the task first!”

One of them was at the Sixth level of the Heavenly Human Realm and the other was at the Seventh level. The Steward didn’t ask too many questions, cheerfully completed the registration process, and handed the tokens back.

Then, with a sense of urgency in their steps and moving as swiftly as dragons and tigers, they headed towards the ‘Taiyi Plaza’.

‘Taiyi Plaza’ is one of the gathering places for disciples of the Tai Yuan lineage. The area is very spacious, spanning dozens of miles, and is dotted with towering Profound Sky Stone pillars.

The plaza is usually bustling, and today it was even more lively with clamoring voices everywhere, filled with disciples of the Tai Yuan lineage dressed in their ceremonial garments.

Yuan Yao and Lu Yun wove through the crowd searching for the team heading to the Longwu Continent.

Guided by the sensation of the tokens, they quickly found their target.

In a corner of the southeastern area of the plaza, a crowd of about one hundred and twenty or thirty people had already gathered.

Among them were three individuals clad in blue ceremonial garments, surrounded by a radiant glow, their presence as daunting as a bullfight.

Clearly, these three were Elite Disciples, leading the team to clear the magical calamity in the Longwu Continent.

After Yuan Yao and Lu Yun joined the team, one of the Elite Disciples nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Just as Lu Yun was preparing to take a good look at the others, he suddenly met a gaze.

“Junior Brother, hello, I’m Lin Jingtian, let’s get to know each other,” said the person in a green ceremonial garment, slim of build, handsome of face, smiling, and greeting Lu Yun.

Lu Yun’s expression immediately became solemn. This man was actually at the Tenth level of the Heavenly Human Realm.

At the Tenth level of the Heavenly Human Realm, a person’s Cave Heavens have at least eighty-two Rules, not only possessing formidable strength, but the potential is also astounding, ranking amongst the top-tier within the official disciples of the Tai Yuan lineage.
