Another Old Acquaintance
"The True Fire Sect next door is attacking?!"
"Actually, I've been a member of the True Fire Sect for a long time!"
There are as many as 100,000 Outer Sect disciples. Even the lowest level cultivators live in elegant courtyards, each with its own separate house. The battle between the two only involved one mountain peak, and hundreds of disciples watched.
There are still many Outer Sect disciples who did not participate in the bloodshed of the sect tonight.
But soon, smoke rose from some of the mountain peaks, and fierce battles quickly broke out, whether between native inhabitants or Survivors, it was unclear.
About fifteen minutes later, Luther and Caoyuanshi were covered in blood and separated temporarily.
Luther glanced at the Outer Sect disciples around him, who were almost completely drained by the Dreamscape in order to sustain the battle, thought for a moment, and then turned and ran.
Caoyuanshi Sacrifice his injuries to recover, then gritted his teeth:
"Ignite! Offering—spirit, Lifespan!"
He then charged at Luther, intending to intercept him before he reached the crowd.
Luther turned his head, his body enveloped in dreamlike colors. Multicolored halos flowed around him, as if he were wearing a cloak woven from rainbows.
He turned and struck out with his palm. The colorful light collided with the Caoyuanshi's Fist, producing a dull thud. The Caoyuanshi's Fist was enveloped by the colorful light, as if it were stuck in a swamp, and it took a lot of effort to move forward even an inch. But he managed to pull his Fist out of the colorful light and punched Luther's head.
The two continued their back-and-forth, pushing forward relentlessly in a frenzied battle. Luther coughed up blood, his bones shattering, and finally, on the verge of death, he dragged the battlefield to an open area.
The surrounding area consisted of several mountain peaks used as residences, with courtyards of the Outer Sect disciples scattered on the mountainside. There were still many Outer Sect disciples in the courtyards who had not fled.
Caoyuanshi frowned, a thought of retreating creeping into his mind.
No matter how much he Sacrifices himself, it's still just rebuilding with his own power. Luther, on the other hand, can continuously draw energy from those around Talent to replenish and grow stronger. If this continues, the outcome is truly uncertain.
Unless he kills all the Outer Sect disciples around him, but the difference in Luther strength isn't that great, he'll have some difficulty due to Luther's obstruction.
Luther smiled slightly, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs and bone chips, realizing that Caoyuanshi intended to retreat.
"Trying to run? Too late!"
As he spoke, he had already activated his Talent!
"Um?"
There was nothing there; his Talent hadn't drawn anyone into his Dreamscape, as if the mountains surrounding Luther were devoid of life.
Luther frowned and scanned the area with his Divine Power, only to discover that all the disciples had died at some point, their souls vanished.
Looking again, the surrounding mountains were all silent. If their senses continued to Spread into the distance, they would discover that all five thousand disciples on the dozens of mountains centered on them had perished!
The moonlight was soft, Moonlight down like water. The blood and Spiritual Light slowly came to a standstill. The two looked up and finally saw—
The moonlight had long been blocked by something, and in the night sky, a pair of eyes watched them Jingjing, for an unknown period of time.
"And there are old acquaintances too."
The owner of those eyes chuckled softly.
Caoyuanshi's brow twitched as he recognized those eyes that had left a deep impression on him.
Back then, it was this guy who stood high above the Fire Domain, watching him indifferently.
"Scholar!"
Luther, on the other hand, looked solemn. He didn't recognize who this person was, only knowing that they were very strong.
"Who are you?"
We met during our first Continued Battle, but we've never actually met in person.
With a flick of her finger, Su Luo conjured golden light in the night sky. Countless Talisman Arts appeared in the light, and Qi surged in from all directions, like rivers flowing into the sea, condensing on the Talisman Arts. Thousands of golden swords took shape in the night sky, their tips pointing downwards and hilts upwards, arranged in a huge circle that enveloped Caoyuanshi and Luther.
Then, it fell straight down!
Caoyuanshi's expression turned serious. Even though Su Luo's power application had long surpassed her current Attributes and her expressiveness was far beyond the standard, he still managed to discern Su Luo's spiritual Attributes based on his experience.
18?!
"Are you even human?! You restored all 18 Attributes in less than a day! Give you a month and you could restore your Essence Attributes too?!"
As the Caoyuanshi was taken aback, it simultaneously offered up all three Attributes. Golden flames enveloped its entire body, like a meteor being Ignite. Its speed approached its limit in that instant, and the air was compressed into liquid, offering no resistance whatsoever.
With lightning speed and unwavering determination, it evaded Su Luo's rain of swords.
But if he couldn't escape before, how could he escape now?
Luther tried using his Talent, but found that he couldn't pull Su Luo into his Dreamscape at all.
The gap in strength is too big!
Su Luo ignored the fleeing Caoyuanshi. The surrounding area had already been sealed off by him. The golden sword light wove a circular Veil in the night sky, stretching from the ground to the clouds, like an inverted golden bowl. No one would escape tonight.
I vaguely remember that this guy's Talent was -- [Dream Game]
[Talent: Dream Game (+1):]
Effect 1: When near death or activated intentionally, forcibly pulls units of similar strength within range into the "Dreamscape" for a one-on-one duel. Victory condition: Defeat the opponent within three minutes of the Dreamscape duration. Winning grants the player to plunder 10%-30% of the opponent's energy, converting it into "Dream Energy"; there is no penalty for losing. Cooldown time depends on the number of victories; there is no cooldown after four victories.
Effect 2: As the temporary ruler of the Dreamscape, one can consume Dream Energy to modify the Dreamscape or repair injuries in reality.
It seems this guy has done quite a bit of development later on. He's even able to rebuild his cultivation using the Dream Energy. I'm curious to go in and see how he developed his Dream World based on the Dream Plane.
Unfortunately, he had relearned the skills too quickly, and the difference in strength was too great, so Luther couldn't pull him in.
Thinking of this, Luther's lightsaber slowed down slightly, its tip becoming less sharp, losing its previous deadly edge.
But Luther still found it very difficult to deal with; a lightsaber pierced through his entire body from above his head and slashed right down to his crotch!
