Chapter 738: Thunder Lotus of Genesis
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In Shi Buyi’s eyes, Lu Xuan’s current combat strength was equivalent to that of his master.
They weren’t very different from each other. Although this was an unconventional type of magic, it was impossible for Lu Xuan to display his full strength in his current situation. Even if he had consumed the rest of his mid-tier spirit stones, there was no way he could deal an extraordinary amount of damage.
It was probably similar to Xuanyangzi’s peak combat strength, if not even be stronger. However, it had a limit; the attack couldn’t exceed the limit of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Another thing to consider was that whereas Xuanyangzi could always maintain his peak combat strength, this was the only time Lu Xuan could only unleash such strength. He needed to continue consuming spirit stones to reach that same level of strength.
Even so, this was shocking enough!
He could kill hundreds of experts in the Divine Transformation Realm with one strike. Such combat strength was even comparable to that of Xuanyangzi, who was considered the best expert on the continent!
At that moment, everyone looked back at Lu Xuan with completely different looks in their eyes.
This was a terrifyingly powerful man who hid his strength; he could unleash it at any time and turn the tide of a battle.
He could’ve even had full control over how the entire battle played out.
Even so, everyone could now see that Lu Xuan had used some sort of secret arts to increase his combat strength to that level.
After what happened just now, however, n.o.body wanted to step up and get themselves killed. After all, n.o.body knew if Lu Xuan could create such an attack again after using it once.
This didn’t seem like a problem for Lu Xuan!
Everyone could imagine what a stir this would’ve caused once the results of this battle spread across the world.
Shi Buyi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and smiled. He then stepped forward and said, “Brother, could you tell me what kind of magic you used just now?”
Although he knew that he was putting himself in danger by doing this, he couldn’t help but want to know what this kind of thunder magic was called. Just knowing the name was enough for him.
This was because he was also a cultivator of the thunder techniques. It was impossible to refuse the opportunity to learn this kind of powerful thunder magic.
Lu Xuan maintained a stony expression as he answered, “It’s called the Thunder Lotus of Genesis!”
This was the name of the magic that he was going to cast. He had only cast a tiny version of its power just now, which was nothing compared to the horrifying thunder lotus that Lu Xuan was able to cast; it was capable of covering hundreds of thousands of miles while he was at peak strength.
This move could’ve been called a G-Cross-Over. It was a terrifying attack capable of annihilating the entire planet. In his previous life, Lu Xuan had relied on this move to make a name for himself.
After he first used this move, he was given the name of a Thunder Lord.
“Thunder Lotus of Genesis!”
Shi Buyi kept chanting those words as if he were possessed by a demon.
This move was extremely shocking.
“What are you still doing here? Do you guys still want to fight me?” Lu Xuan swept his eyes across the guests of the Jiang family.
The guests were immediately scared out of their wits. Everyone who had the courage and strength to step forward and fight against Lu Xuan had already done so by now. n.o.body else dared to follow suit. One by one, they immediately scattered and fled the scene.
Only Shi Buyi remained. Seeing that Lu Xuan had turned his attention towards him, Shi Buyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva before stepping forward. “Brother!”
Lu Xuan said, “Do you have something to say?”
Shi Buyi replied, “On behalf of the Immemorial Path, I want to invite Brother Lu and Liu Haotian to come to our Immemorial Path as guests!”
In reality, this was the real reason why he came out of the mountain this time. He was also ordered to come here, as his original intention was to sneak into the Jiang family’s ranks.
He did not expect to meet Lu Xuan here. This was a huge surprise for him.
“What? Give me one good reason why I should go to the Immemorial Path!”
Lu Xuan smiled as he looked at Shi Buyi. Just now, he had consumed all of his mid-tier spirit stones to use the Thunder Lotus of Genesis. Theoretically, it should have been impossible for him to pull off such an attack.
However, he didn’t seem afraid at all.
On the other hand, Shi Buyi wasn’t sure whether or not Lu Xuan was capable of such a thing.
Shi Buyi gave Lu Xuan a doubtful look and said to him, “Don’t you know who founded our Immemorial Path?”
Lu Xuan crossed his arms and replied, “I don’t know. Tell me!”
One look at Lu Xuan was enough for Shi Buyi to realize something.
He immediately explained, “Brother, the founder of our Immemorial Path was a Celestial Master with the bloodline of the sacred ones. Later on, he was ordered to create the Immemorial Path. Therefore, it has always been the duty of the Immemorial Path to take care of those with the blood of the sacred ones!”
Lu Xuan furrowed his eyebrows. He did not expect the blood of the sacred ones from thousands of years ago to have been involved with this.
However, he believed what Shi Buyi had said. This was probably no secret to anyone. Besides, he most likely wouldn’t have dared to lie about something so simple and easy to prove.
Upon further thought, the first generation of the sacred ones could’ve been considered to have been extremely glorious. Therefore, Lu Xuan believed that the sacred ones had always been prepared for anything.
This Immemorial Path was probably the backup force that the sacred ones had created.
It was no wonder why the Immemorial Path went to the ends of the Earth to fight the Divine Blood Church and destroyed everything that the latter had done.
Essentially, this was the continuation of the war between the Holy Sun Continent led by the sacred ones and the blood devils.
Both sides were now a part of history, but the descendants they left behind were still alive and kicking.
Lu Xuan looked at Shi Buyi and said, “Even if it’s true, then what about it? If you guys genuinely want to take care of the descendants of the sacred ones, how could it have led to the extinction of the Liu family decades ago? What did you guys do while the Liu family was being destroyed, with the surviving members being captured and used as mere items?”
Lu Xuan smiled with a bit of disdain. It was likely because of their origin, but the Immemorial Path had once taken special care of the descendants of sacred ones.
Still, people changed. Even after thousands of years had pa.s.sed, they might’ve been willing to follow the rules established by their ancestors.
Lu Xuan wasn’t even sure if the Immemorial Path had been involved in the destruction of the Liu family at the time.
Shi Buyi’s lips curled into a slightly wry smile. He also knew that Immemorial Path’s actions in the matter were too suspicious.
When the Immemorial Path had announced to everyone that they would accept Liu Haotian, who had the blood of the sacred ones, as their apprentice, many people were skeptical about it.
Therefore, it was also natural for Lu Xuan to have such doubts!
Shi Buyi cupped his hands as he said, “Brother, please believe us when we say that our good intentions are not due to our carelessness. It was because we ran into troubles, but we cannot tell you what they are right now!” difficulties, and it is not convenient to reveal them here! The sacred ancestor left behind something within our Immemorial Path. Whatever it is, it plays a vital role for the bloodline of the sacred ones. It would be quite unfortunate if Liu Haotian missed the opportunity to get it!”
