Chapter 78: Don't Give Up

Yun rolled up his sleeve, and all the ice shards were gathered together by him.In an instant, it condensed into a white ice sword, its tip radiating an icy chill. With unparalleled speed, it plunged s...It is not hard to imagine that, even if Jiang Yun were only at the ninth level of Pulse Condensation now, or even at the ninth level of Blessed Land or Heavenly Cave, once struck by this black lightning bolt, he would be instantly reduced to ashes.

Just then, Dongfang Bo suddenly sat down cross-legged, his hands clasped together in a circle and placed over his chest. He addressed Jiang Yun and said, “You just need to focus on opening up your tenth meridian!”

As his words fell, Dongfang Bo closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "The world says my path is grand, but it appears insignificant. But true greatness appears insignificant; if it were truly insignificant, it would have long since been lost in the minutiae..."

In the chanting of Dongfang Bo, a blue light suddenly shot out from the top of his head, blooming in the air and splitting into three parts, facing the black lightning bolt.

"Boom boom boom!"

Three earth-shattering roars echoed consecutively. Three beams of azure light collided with the black lightning, weakening it by at least a third. Oriental Bo spat out three mouthfuls of fresh blood, his face ashen, and he instantly became weak and listless, his figure swaying precariously.

But the remaining two-thirds of the black lightning remained undiminished, and continued to lash towards Gingercloud.

Wherever the divine goes, Qi follows; wherever Qi goes, Jing follows. They all depend on each other and assist one another to bring about the use of nature…

Sistine's voice followed closely, and three beams of light, each a different color, shot out from her body, striking the black lightning. This weakened the black lightning by another third.

"The last voice to sound was that of Xuan Yuan: 'I have three treasures, hold them dear. The first is compassion, the second is frugality, and the third is never to take the lead in the world...'

"Boom!"

The three of them attacked in succession, finally causing the black lightning to completely dissipate. Although they were all severely injured, they still tried their best to sit in place, protecting Jiang Yun in the middle.

Looking at everything before him, Jiang Yun gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins. Thoughts of giving up flashed in his mind.

He may not fear death, but he does not want to cause the Eastern Bo and their people to suffer an unwarranted catastrophe because of him.

However, as if knowing what he was thinking, Dongfang Bo's faint voice happened to reach his ears at that moment: "No matter what, don't give up. I'm still waiting for you to become my little apprentice!"

The words spoken by Dong Fang Bo caused Jiang Yun's finger, which had just paused, to tremble slightly. However, immediately afterward, it began to strike his tenth meridian even faster and with greater force, again and again in a frenzy.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The sky roared again, and the anger on his aged face became even more apparent. It was clear that the actions of Dongfang Bo and Jiang Yun et al had thoroughly enraged him.

A bolt of black lightning, ten times larger than before, erupted from his mouth once more and struck against Gingercloud.

Just the pressure emanating from this bolt of lightning caused blood to start flowing from the seven apertures of Dongfang Bo and his three companions. Although they wanted to continue helping Jiang Yun resist, they were clearly powerless.

Just then, Dao Tianyou's figure suddenly appeared above Jiang Yun and the other four. His yellow Taoist robe fluttered without wind, expanding outwards to cover them.

Gazing at the black lightning falling from the sky, Dao Tianyou did not immediately make a move. Instead, his body's aura surged wildly, and two strange runes reappeared in his eyes.

The black lightning bolt was getting closer and closer to the crowd, about to strike Dao Tianyou on top of his head when two runes in his eyes suddenly shot out, exploding violently and transforming into countless points of light. They surged towards the lightning bolt and vanished into it.

Originally, the black lightning was unstoppable, carrying the power to destroy everything in its path. But after those tiny lights merged into it, it suddenly froze, as if it had been stopped in time, completely still.

More miraculously, the black on it was also becoming transparent at an extremely fast rate. In just a few breaths, this lightning had completely turned colorless, as if it had vanished.

Dao Tianyou only then glanced down at the four people below him, then turned his gaze to Gu Bulao Dao: "I can only stop this thunder for a moment!"

Gu Bulao lightly uttered two words from his mouth: "Enough!"

After finishing his words, Gu Bulao closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep. However, Jiang Yun was still there, tirelessly using his physical strength to try and open the tenth meridian.

Jiang Yun didn't know how long Feng Wuji had spent opening up this meridian, nor how difficult it had been. All he knew was that every point he pressed, while making those impurities more and more loose, the power contained in his fingertip wasn't being transferred to himself at all.

That kind of intense pain made his teeth almost grind to pieces, and with the massive loss of blood inside his body, his complexion became increasingly pale.

Even so, his face was still filled with determination. His fingers darted out incessantly, as if it had become second nature, never pausing for a moment.

...But tens of thousands of miles away from the Wentianzong, there were streaks of light appearing one after another, each streak containing a figure exuding immense power.

Heaven's wrath manifested, although most people were unaware of its target. However, those powerful individuals closer to the Wudao Sect could vaguely deduce that Heaven Yan's fury was directed at the Wudao Sect.

Therefore, they all wanted to come and see what had happened in the sect.

As for the people inside the sect, although Gu Bulao had already opened the Dao Seal beforehand, making the surrounding area of Zangfeng Peak appear distorted and void, the momentum of those black lightning bolts was simply too immense, and they were directly falling towards Zangfeng Peak. Therefore, they naturally understood that Tian Yan's target was Zangfeng Peak.

But what exactly happened inside Cang Peak, they couldn't know.

However, the peak master of Wufeng Peak and all the cultivators at the Dongtian realm have appeared around the Wudao Sect, even Wei Zhengyang is no exception.

Even at the mountain gate, two white-haired, elderly figures appeared silently. They were the Supreme Elders of the Wudao Sect, also considered the foundation and most powerful beings within the sect.

Because Dao Tianyou has already issued an order to them, forbidding any outsiders from entering within a radius of 100 and a half miles of the Wenda Sect!

When a quarter of an hour was about to come, Dao Tianyou's eyes showed anxiety and he looked at Gu Bulao: "Hurry!"

"Alright!"

The ancient, ageless eyes opened once more. He rose to his feet and took a step towards the heavens, appearing about a hundred zhang above Mount Cangfeng.

And with this step, one could see his body suddenly grow a few inches taller. Even his handsome childish face seemed to gain a few points of maturity, making him appear no longer like a boy, but rather a young man of sixteen or seventeen.

The change in appearance was indeed shocking, but more terrifying was the aura emanating from him, which was rapidly climbing to an extreme level, vaguely condensing into a tangible form. To the extent that the anger on the aged face in the sky, in this instant, was imbued with a touch of astonishment.

After the aura on Ancient Not Old's body ascended to an extreme, Ancient Not Old suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled a golden long breath, within which was also wrapped a golden orb of light.

With the exhalation of this breath, Gu Bulao's ancient visage instantly reverted to that of a child. However, his face now bore a tinge of pallor, and even the immense aura that emanated from him vanished without a trace.

But that mouthful of golden qi suddenly surged in the air, transforming into dozens of meters long. After swirling once in the air, it charged towards Jiang Yun below!

"Om!"

Golden energy, like a giant dragon, spun rapidly around Jiang Yun. As it swirled, Jiang Yun's form gradually vanished within its movements!
