Chapter 130
An epic battle between two powerful immortals commenced before the seaside stronghold. Whenever the juba soared into the air, it brought stunning water energy with it, kicking up wave after wave to threaten the sky.
"That’s a juba… a member of the extinct giant water spirits!" Changes rapidly flickering through his expression, Lu Qishan retreated back into the ocean in a series of flashes.
Wham!
A golden beam almost three hundred meters in radius rose from his body and pierced through the clouds. The ocean exploded, evaporating countless monster spirit immortals.
"Let us battle!" Lu Qishan roared. "Juba!!"
Grappling with the creature on land had left him frustrated and furious, stymied by the inability to exert his full strength since his cultivation was sealed. Above the ocean, he could finally put away the treasure sealing his cultivation and unchain his power as a peak peerless immortal. He cast a greedy gaze at the juba. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he could take this creature for his pet as well?
"Then battle we shall," the juba spoke in its ancient voice as it entered the ocean.
Boom!
Black radiance flickered across it, transforming it into a giant creature resembling both a dragon and a turtle, one that rivaled the blackwater snake in size. The clash between two peerless immortals began in earnest, intense shockwaves reverberating outward as both of them called upon their full strength.
Bam!
The ocean shook and trembled as tremendous amounts of seawater evaporated from the fight’s energies, then returned in the form of torrential rain.
"Stop!" called out a frantic King of Southern Subjugation. "Stop it!!"
It’d been ready to invade and conquer Dusk Province as soon as the stronghold fell. However, rising tempers had resulted in two peerless immortals lifting their seals over the ocean and engaging in a no-holds-barred fight. The colossal battle reduced countless monster spirits and monster immortals to ashes.
……
"See, crisis averted." Lu Yun smiled at the earthshaking battle taking place over the ocean. The stronghold remained unaffected, since its grand formation had created an enormous barrier of an invincible wall of air that blocked the terrible shockwaves.
"You have to think before you act," the governor pointed at his own head, "or else your brain will get rusty."
Qing Han rolled his eyes. He’s obviously talking to me.
"Am I truly an evil fiend that will bring about endless disaster?" asked Diexi. She came to Lu Yun and Qing Han, her ruby-like eyes filled with confusion and body shaking ever so slightly. Lu Yun had said she was human, so she considered herself one and tried her best to behave accordingly. However, some part of her faith had been shattered by the denouncement from the Lu Clan elder.
"Pfft!" Lu Yun snorted with laughter. "What are you thinking? An evil fiend that will bring about endless disaster?"
Qing Han understood what Lu Yun wanted to achieve, so he didn’t pipe up. Meanwhile, Diexi stared dumbly at the governor.
"Just look at him." Lu Yun pointed at Lu Qishan, now raising monstrous waves above the ocean. "He’s the evil spirit. He kills countless monster immortals with a twist of the hand. He has taken many more lives than you."
Diexi looked at the ocean, words eluding her.
"As for the Skybearer Gates…. Everything in the world has its natural bane; its power just so happens to counter yours." Lu Yun put his hands behind his back. "What is good and what is evil?
