Chapter – 112 Heavenly Lunar Stone Tablet
The invasion of Nine Hidden Dragon qi could actually turn a living being into a dried up corpse from inside.
But lunar qi was no less dangerous and freezing Liu Yuan from inside.
However, regardless of which method was used, the final outcome was death.
“Get out of her body!”
Long Yu clenched his teeth and stimulated the movement of dragon qi inside her meridians.
At this time, he could not also worry about the corrosion of her meridians due to the injection of dragon qi. This method was crude and only the circulation of dragon qi could drive out lunar qi from her body.
Fortunately, he was quick in making this decision and acted immediately. Her breathing was getting weaker, heartbeats slower, but before reaching a fatal state, the lunar qi was finally fully dispelled from her body.
Then, he immediately withdrew dragon qi from her meridians and formed a barrier of the same around her body to protect her from further invasion of lunar qi.
In order to leave this stone chamber, he didn’t restrain himself and went all out.
When the dragon qi barrier was set up to protect her, her internal energy slowly began to restore back to normal!
However, he could only clench his teeth and wait for her to wake up while constantly maintaining the barrier. If she did not wake up before the dissolution of dragon qi barrier, then she would once again the lunar qi invasion.
In that case, even the G.o.ds might not be able to save her!
Time pa.s.sed second by second.
Long Yu was suffering all the time, felt as if all his strength would soon be drained, making his mind hit by the waves of dizziness!
If it weren’t for his strong willpower and stubborn will to survive, then staying conscious in his current state would have been impossible for other experts.
“Come on Liu Yuan, wake up already!”
He hugged her body and tried to give her his own warmth.
At this moment, her ice-cold body gradually began to gain temperature gradually in his bosom.
Her consciousness gradually returned along with the warmth of her body.
However, the color of her eyebrows and hair that had turned snow-white due to the lunar qi invasion wasn’t restored to black, indicating that this change in color was irreversible.
At this time, she was dressed in black seductive attire, her beautiful white hair hanging to her waist. Even her eyebrows gained the color of snow and became more attractive.
The lunar qi invasion greatly changed her appearance.
As a result, now she looked even colder than before. The charm she possessed to seduce men did not diminish, instead it strengthened several times!
Her new appearance gave her the kind of sacred aura which gave rise to an indescribable feeling in men. To describe in simple words – the one that must not be touched.
This scared aura gave her a unique charm and appeal!
As her body temperature gradually rose again, she finally opened her eyes and saw herself gently held in the arms of Long Yu!
Her complexion changed, but she felt very weak and could not shove him away even if she wanted to.
Her body faced corrosion from both lunar qi and small portions of dragon qi, making her very vulnerable right now.
“You …… where are we?”
Her eyebrows wrinkled. A woman’s intuition made her feel inexplicably strange in this weird atmosphere.
This was a completely sealed stone chamber.
Long Yu was hugging her tightly and her body was covered in a layer of dragon qi, separating her from the lunar qi filled in this stone chamber.
She was a smart woman and her keen senses soon informed her that Long Yu was in a very bad shape right now. Perhaps, even a random attack of hers would kill him on the spot.
However, if she did that then she would also die!
She was not stupid, of course, would not do so.
She knew that there was definitely a certain reason why he saved her by pushing himself to such limits. Otherwise, why would he go to such limits to save her when killing her was an easier choice?
“Do not move and listen to what I am going to say.”
He said in a very low and deep voice because he really did not want to waste the little remaining strength he had.
“We are trapped in a fully enclosed stone chamber, the walls are very strong and I cannot find a way out. There are four lunar debris embedded in the four walls and Xuan qi can be used to press them into the wall. I cannot press all four of them, I need you to press one. When these stones are pressed simultaneously, we may find a way out.”
“I have tried everything and this is the only idea I am left with. We have not more than 1 hour left.”
He then waited for her answer.
His explanation was brief but this place spoke for itself and she was not like other stupid girls he had met so far in this world!
“There’s no time to waste, let’s begin.”
She said with some difficulty but immediately made the decision.
She believed that Long Yu was not deceiving her.
After all, she had been unconscious for quite some time. If he wanted to do something to her then he would have already done it by now.
And seeing him in such a dire state, she certainly did not want to waste time!
“Well, you’re in charge of pressing this lunar debris. You will have to use your Xuan qi to activate it then press it into the wall.”
He pointed to the lunar debris closest to her and said in a solemn manner.
“Ok.”
She nodded, had some difficultly standing up and her white hair drifted down to her waist. The inverted image of her own hair in her starry eyes stunned her.
Did her hair turn into a full-white?
Now, however, it was not the time to think about it!
She recovered from the shock and began to wonder. If she was in charge of pressing one stone, how would Long Yu press the other three simultaneously?
She quietly tried once and discovered that as soon as Xuan qi left her body, it was immediately devoured by lunar qi before it could activate the lunar debris!
She soon knew the answer.
“You are being hasty, wait.”
Long Yu said and suddenly removed the protective cover of dragon qi from her body, jumped towards the opposite wall and pressed the lunar debris.
Without the protective cover of dragon qi, lunar qi once again began to invade her body.
However, this time she was not unconscious and used her entire strength to resist the invasion!
At the same time, she condensed Xuan qi on her slender fingers and pressed the lunar debris into the wall.
Then, she turned her face to carefully observe Long Yu.
She saw him putting one hand on the wall, then he lifted the other hand and stretched out two fingers and emit strange dark ripples of light towards the others two walls!
Immediately, the two jet black ripples crashed into the two stones and pressed them while Long Yu simultaneously pressed the one under his hand!
“This strange dark energy that he had, I have never seen something like this before. It’s hard to guess what kind of energy is this, but I know this much, it makes me feel as if it’s coming straight from the h.e.l.l……”
She was thinking and was also wary of what might happen at any time.
As soon as the four stones were pressed, the entire stone chamber began to tremble!
Suddenly, the rich lunar qi began to revolve and was attracted towards the center, thereby condensing vigorously.
“Something happened.”
Long Yu was happy that at least something happened, but his strength was depleted. He did not seem in a good condition!
Fortunately, he knew that Liu Yuan did not have the slightest battle strength left to become a possible threat to his life.
They were standing near the opposite walls of the stone chamber and looked towards the center .
The lunar qi gradually converged in the center and formed an ent.i.ty!
“What can it be?”
Long Yu was maintaining a careful observation.
They saw how the entire lunar qi contained in this stone chamber condensed together to form a stone!
“It’s a stone!”
They simultaneously gawked.
This stone was shorter than the one he seized earlier. It was lying in the center of the stone chamber and was exuding dense lunar qi.
Once the formation was complete, the four stones embedded in the walls transformed into lunar qi and instantly condensed on this stone to form its four edges.
“This is the complete lunar debris? If succeeded in harnessing its power, I can obtain great strength!”
Long Yu thought so in his heart and looked at the beautiful Liu Yuan, who was also looking at him.
Obviously, the same thought was revolving in their hearts!
However, they did not dare to take any action because of lack of strength. Both of them were vigilant!
Although he saved her just now but it was hard to a.s.sume that she acknowledged his efforts, after all, it was for his own survival as well.
Liu Yuan thought that he saved her just for the task of pressing the lunar debris, and facing the temptation of this precious treasure, he was very likely to attack her if she interfered!
Moreover, in addition to the threat caused by the other party, there was the threat of the treasure itself because they did not know what kind of stone it was. What if it was a trap?
The two continued to wait while also keeping an eye on each other!
However, suddenly, the stone split into two parts and flew respectively towards the two, one for each!
“It split!”
They exclaimed simultaneously!
Long Yu was the braver one and immediately jumped to catch the half stone that flew towards him!
“Heavenly Lunar Stone Tablet!”
As soon as he touched it, these four words resounded in his mind.
Heavenly Lunar Stone Tablet?
He frowned as he heard this name.
He knew the significance of the term lunar in this name, probably because it was condensed out of lunar qi, but he did not know why name it ‘Heavenly Tablet’.
Could it be that the so-called Heavenly Tablet was a treasure that naturally did not occur in this world?
“This carved piece of stone, though does not have anything engraved on it, but is obviously made with chisels, how is it a naturally occurring treasure?”
Long Yu suddenly thought but could not come up with an answer.
However, he immediately thought that in this world, even the battle weapon could evolve self-awareness and even those wolves, congealed out of lunar qi, possessed consciousness. Perhaps, this was the answer to his question.
According to this logic, what if this world itself had its own consciousness and created such a treasure?
Although it somewhat difficult to accept this conjecture, but in his opinion, it was still a more reasonable explanation!
