Taking Flight
Su Luo didn't care about Yunmeng Zhenren's relief. He naturally planned to improve his strength before going to ambush Survivors that might exist in the Yin-Yang Plan. He wouldn't fight a battle he wasn't sure of winning. The terrain here was monotonous, making it more difficult for Survivors to escape.
But just as the two were waiting for the Magic Vessel to arrive at the entrance to the Heaven’s Gate, two uninvited guests arrived outside the transport array.
A cultivator dressed in colorful robes and wearing a phoenix feather headdress, whose gender was difficult to discern, flew over and forced the Magic Vessel to stop. He arrogantly demanded that Yunmeng Zhenren come out to pay him an audience.
Yunmeng Zhenren was somewhat puzzled, having never seen such a procedure before, but he still left the cabin and went outside.
Su Luo naturally followed along to see what was happening.
"The Yunmeng Kingdom Lord, whose secular name is Jiang Ruoyu, is 432 years old and Late Violet Palace Mansion realm. Her sect name is Jin Cai, and she has come here to Dao Lord's decree!"
The androgynous cultivator drawled out the words, his eyes fixed intently on the Yunmeng Kingdom Lord.
The Yunmeng Kingdom Lord did not understand, but still bowed and accepted the decree.
"I hereby order Yunmeng Zhenren to resign from their position Yunmeng Kingdom Lord and enter the Daoist temple as a [Talented Lady], effective today!"
The extremely concise decree shocked the Yunmeng Kingdom Lord, who respectfully asked, "Is there an error in the decree? According to custom, a cultivator from the Violet Palace entering a Daoist temple is at least Noble Lady, how could they be Talented Lady?"
The hierarchy within the dojo is clear; theoretically, everyone is part of Dieyi Daojun's harem, but yin and yang can be reversed, making the relationships intricate and complex.
In Talented Lady class is like a public cup.
Even if that kind of life, where one is used at will, is incredibly enjoyable, Yunmeng Zhenren doesn't want it!
"That's right, it was a decree I personally requested from the Dao Lord. You don't need to go back; someone will take your place after a while."
The person holding the decree didn't even glance at Su Luo. Instead, the person next to him looked at Su Luo and then quickly slapped Jin Cai Adept.
"Him, him, him! We have to get him!"
Jin Cai Adept impatiently slapped him away. "Stop fooling around, he has no cultivation. Let me deal with Yunmeng first!"
The man paused for a moment, his eyes turning cold, before saying, "Fine, then you go after your old flame, I'll handle this myself!"
Then, the man waved his hand, and a terrifying phenomenon appeared in the air. Qi surged from all directions, condensing into a rotating vortex in his palm, with fine lightning crackling around its edges.
Su Luo blinked, trying to figure out which Survivor this was.
He didn't act immediately, as that would be impolite; he resolutely refused to fire the first shot.
The next instant.
[Hengjin Jun] took flight, literally taking flight.
He simply swirled the air currents he had gathered onto the unknown Survivor, and at the same instant, he was propelled away by some strange and immense force.
In an instant, his flesh and bones were torn apart and destroyed, his skin like paper ripped open from the inside, revealing a dense mechanical structure and thousands of miniature dantians beneath. The miniature dantians were neatly arranged, like a honeycomb embedded between the metal skeletons, emitting a pale light.
What the hell?!
[Hengjin Jun]'s head was twisted off by the extremely powerful impact, but it was quickly snapped back. The sensors in his body transmitted data, rapidly calculated the intensity of the attack, and matched it against the historical database.
"The damage type and the force ratio are no more than 2% different from when my Airflow Fist hits the opponent, only amplified by 937 to 945 times?"
Hengjin Jun quickly calculated the anomaly, and his body began to automatically recover. The torn flesh grew out from the gaps in the mechanical skeleton and began to accelerate wildly in the opposite direction in order to restrain his figure, which was flying away like a meteor, and prevent it from falling into the Purple Thunder Zone under the Divine Firmament Heaven’s Gate.
"Is it a problem with the person? No, the damage wasn't entirely reflected back; it was his full-body robe!"
Hengjin Jun's eyes barely focused during the high-speed flight, Lock-On onto the dark blue robe Su Luo was wearing. Fine spiritual patterns flowed across the surface of the robe, like flowing water and floating clouds.
His processor completed the analysis in that instant, compressed the conclusion into a message, and sent it directly to his colleague.
"Shen Haozi! There's something wrong with his clothes; they're suspected to be Epic or special item, dealing nearly a thousand times the damage reflection!"
Although he didn't know what kind of item was so overpowered, Hengjin Jun quickly relayed the information to his companions.
"Receive."
A blurry shadow rushed out from near where Hengjin Jun had been standing, pointing straight at Su Luo.
Su Luo tested the effects of the Cang Yue Brand Dharma Robe and was naturally very satisfied. There was no need to test it further, so she directly attacked the shadow.
A silent, Burn Black Flame appeared in the real world, situated on the path the shadow was destined to take. Black Flame was black, so black that it was almost invisible in the twilight, yet its presence was extremely strong; the air was instantly burned away, creating a void.
Su Luo frowned slightly: There's a problem. Su Luo didn't notice the shadow before it rushed out from that position!
Although Su Luo approached the Dao Lord Temple and began to act Tang, the outside world's perception of her was not greatly enhanced.
But now that the battle has begun, when Su Luo tries to unleash her Heartfire on the soul corresponding to the shadow, she can't sense the soul at all!
It was as if the other person didn't exist in this world at all.
As expected, the shadow ignored the Heartfire blocking its path and chose the most direct straight charge. Its body passed through the Black Flames and rushed towards Su Luo!
Everything happened extremely suddenly, and the whole process took no more than three seconds. The Yunmeng Kingdom Lord, who was in a daze, was even more confused when he saw this scene. However, considering that Su Luo came from the Azure Cloud Sect and was a newly promoted Violet Palace cultivator, he hesitated for a moment and then made his move!
However, the Jin Cai Adept on the opposite side also made a direct move, sending out a rope that entangled the Yunmeng Kingdom Lord. The Yunmeng Kingdom Lord quickly used a magic weapon to defend himself.
A jade seal rose from her palm, growing larger in the wind until it transformed into a small mountain blocking her path. Ropes wrapped around the jade seal, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.
The two became entangled.
The temperature around Su Luo skyrocketed in an instant, reaching thousands of degrees, then tens of thousands, and continued to rise rapidly.
The Authority of the Violet Palace granted him expressive power and environmental control abilities that surpassed his current Attributes in this world. Without even spreading out a field, he simply and effortlessly heated the surrounding air infinitely.
The air ionizes at high temperatures, changing from colorless to pale blue, and then emits light directly, transforming into plasma.
By the time Shen Haozi reached Su Luo, the area around Su Luo was already a plasma field, with terrifying temperatures of nearly 100,000 degrees Celsius swirling around. The heat radiated to the airship behind her, causing the wooden hull of the airship to instantly smoke and then catch fire.
