Chapter 320 A Shocking Transformation

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Lyu Liang’s second life in the mortal world was a peaceful one. During that life, he was a young master of a landlord, and grew into a kindhearted and merciful philanthropist, who was well-known in the whole world.

During his third life, Lyu Liang continued to fight in the troubled times. Although he died in the battlefield in the end, he had always been open, loyal and benevolent. Even the enemies could not bear to cut off his head. On the contrary, they arranged an elaborate funeral with a top level national ceremony for him!

During his fourth life, he became an ox, working hard all day, and even helped to prevent the child of its master from being abducted. Then it was no longer a mere animal that could be sold for a price, to that family, and gradually became indispensable to them!

During those lives, he never lost his goals and always insisted on his original aspiration, while overcoming fatal obstacles one after another, with a kind of invincible spirit. During the process of toughening his heart, besides Liu Yu, he also had opportunities to rescue two other strayers from the painful cycle of life. Undoubtedly, they two were also Lyu Liang’s faithful supporters since then!

Five hundred years later, when Lyu Liang came back again from the mortal world, there were already signs of aging on his face. But his eyes became even keener, and he now had 10 followers!

“You don’t have to do this, guys! I just happened to save you!” Lyu Liang said helplessly, as the people he saved were all insisting on following him forever!

“Boss! Don’t refuse us! We really want to follow you!” Liu Yu said at that time. “You have never been in that sort of death cycle ever, so you don’t understand what you did, really means to us! There are lots of things that are more terrible than death! We are lucky that we met you!”

Hearing that, Lyu Liang could not say anything else and just sighed. Then he continued to toughen his heart in the mortal world. But White warned him lightly, “Dude, it’s your opportunity, so seize it. Afterwards, you are going to face more fierce fights that would be too much for yourself to handle. Especially when you go to the space of the Goddess Nyu Wa… It’s indeed the right time for you to build up a fighting force for yourself!”

Time flew by and 1,000 years passed. When Lyu Liang appeared again, his black, long hair was already partially white. And his eyes had a touch of vicissitude in them, which did not suit his appearance at all.

“Oh, my god! You… You are not a human!” The big yellow dog quivered and cried out at its first sight of Lyu Liang.

At the moment, Linglong’s translucent Soul Shadow floated out and held Lyu Liang, while caressing him at the same time. Lyu Liang was looking right into her eyes and said softly, “Linglong, I’ll make sure I find a way for you to recover… It’s time for me to go out into the world!”

“Don’t you want to go to the next mortal world, man?” The big yellow dog seemed to have already known that result earlier.

“I have to stop now, as I almost lost my Taoist Heart and became a strayer as well in the last mortal world…” Lyu Liang said with a bitter laugh, which was really rare for him.

In the mortal world, the test for the toughness of the heart was becoming more and more abnormal. And the number of the strayers were also growing! There was coercion, bribery, suicide, and conspiracies… People there just did everything they could to Lyu Liang. At last, he was only capable of isolating himself from them, without any more strength to save any other strayers.

But he did not give up, and replied resolutely, “But if I get another chance to come here again, I’ll try my best to get all those strayers out! They are not total losers!”

“Haha, you are a good kid… The power of the five elements, the foundation of the Sun God, the foundation of the Underworld Shadow skills… Spirit Swallowing Bugs, as well as the Ghost Soldier Transforming Realm… Good lord!” Ancestor Hong Jun was amazed by Lyu Liang and gave him a thumbs up, saying approvingly, “You are indeed strong enough to have an adventure in the outside world!”

Lyu Liang bowed to him respectfully and said, “I will not be able to repay your kindness, no matter what I do. Any time you need me in the future, I am all yours!”

“Go ahead. After you leave this place, you may not be able to come back within a short time. But when the time is right, the door of the Peaceful Land will always be open for you!” Ancestor Hong Jun nodded. He made a promise, which also meant a goodbye for the moment.

When Lyu Liang was leaving, the 14 cultivators saved by him, insisted on following him. He had no other choice, but to let them. Then, he started to think about White’s proposal and gathered up his own forces.

“Go to the south, man. The Fox and Wolf Clan should be another aid for you in the future!” White and Lyu Liang were connected with each other. The minute Lyu Liang thought about that, White already painted a picture of a more tempting future.

Therefore, when Lyu Liang appeared again in the junction of western and northern parts in the Nether Big World, he was reluctant to leave the site that had changed into a space crack at the time behind him, and bowed to it repeatedly. After that, he directly headed to the Core Region of the inland in the Dark Reign, without looking back.

1,000 years had passed since the final battle in the Nether Big World. The Dark Reign had lost lots of Primordial Qi that year, but they kept accumulating power during the two years and the Divine Imperial Court had not further attacked them, so they gradually regained their power as before.

Although two out of their five leaders were already dead, they now had Ji Luo Tao Lord with a cultivation of Late-stage God Ancestor as their leader, and started to rebuild their forces.

Lyu Liang did not intend to make a detour at all. The Nether Big World was a place where his heart had been broken. He would rather leave right at that moment. But, before he left, he still had a few things to do…

“Milord!” In the core region of the Dark Reign, a black-robed person with the word “Deacon” embroidered on his clothes, even forgot the basic rule for notification, and directly cried out in panic. “Lyu… Lyu… Lyu Liang is coming!”

Three God Ancestors, who were discussing the plan about the future at the moment, stood up simultaneously. God Ancestor Sura asked first, “By himself? What is his cultivation?”

“No, a bunch of them! There are a dozen followers with a cultivation of Tao Ancestor behind him!” The deacon paused, and then struggled to say, “Lyu Liang’s cultivation… is already impossible for me to see through!”

“What?” God Ancestor Sura was stunned. The Hell Organization had predicted that Lyu Liang would come again, but no one ever expected that it would take place after 1,000 years. Besides, his cultivation was so high that it was really hard to tell, and he also had a bunch of capable followers with him…

“I’m not here for a fight! I just want to take a person away!” Lyu Liang’s voice pierced through the entire Dark Region. It sounded soft, but there were traces of the Power of Law in it!

The three God Ancestors looked at each other in disbelief, for only cultivators as powerful as themselves knew that the seemingly ordinary voice transmission should be the Skill of Soul Sound, which could only be mastered by a cultivator of at least God Ancestor.

Besides, they could feel that he had not used much effort to utter those words, which meant that the strength of his Divine Soul was almost equal to theirs, or stronger!

“Who do you want to take away?” God Ancestor Sura braced himself to ask. Their task was to accumulate their power and check out when Lyu Liang would be out there. They had not been ordered to kill him.

They had been thinking that maybe they could exterminate him the minute they found him. Lyu Liang was already a great threat to the Hell Organization, so they had to get rid of him as soon as possible.

However, after meeting him for less than 30 minutes, they finally understood why the organization had not ordered them to kill him. Their leaders had predicted Lyu Liang’s improvement, but how powerful he was now… They had no idea if their leaders were clear about that…

God Ancestor Sura looked uncertain about the situation. If Lyu Liang was here alone, he would gather all the forces, and they could have a chance to kill Lyu Liang with their killing tactics. But Lyu Liang had followers with him, so they just did not dare take the risk. At the moment, accumulating power was the most important thing for them.

As the three leaders of the Hell Organization appeared in the core region, they immediately caught sight of a group of people standing there arrogantly. There were a lot of executors of the organization surrounding them, but they were just standing at a distance, and no one dared directly step forward.

“God Ancestors, our Bounded Domain is useless to stop him…” One executor timidly transmitted a voice message to them, obviously stunned at Lyu Liang and his companions’ immense powers.

“Li Caiyun, and the man that has been accompanying her all the time.” 1,000 years ago, Lyu Liang was even unable to protect himself, and could not spare any energy to do other things. But at the moment, he had built up enough confidence to deal with the old affair.

“Caiyun was seriously injured 1,000 years ago, and has not fully recovered yet. Right now, she is in the…” God Ancestor Sura was planning to gain time with a plot, and then think about how to deal with him later.

“I’m asking for her sincerely, so I have put the resentment behind me.” Lyu Liang interrupted him right away, and then said lightly, ” I know she is in the southeast area that is covered with a purplish red light shield. You want me to find her by myself, or will you guys ask her to come out?”

“You… Don’t push us too far!” While Ji Luo Tao Lord was stunned at his words, God Ancestor Wu Ming beside him, already flew into a rage, and said furiously. He continued, “You really think we are afraid of you?”

“You dare to talk to my boss like that?” Before Lyu Liang reacted, Liu Yu could not hold himself back. At the moment, he was totally different from before, when he was a strayer. “You are just a Middle-stage God Ancestor. I’m a Late-stage Tao Ancestor, and not inferior to you at all!” Other followers also gave out a killing intention, and were on the verge of launching an attack.

God Ancestor Wu Ming quivered. Although those people had a lower cultivation, they all had a kind of creepy aura, which was obviously based on mysterious methods. Besides, they all had a potential to be Men of Sacrifice. The most important thing was that Lyu Liang’s cultivation was so high, that none of them there might be capable of defeating him. If they did fight Lyu Liang and his followers, their accumulation made within the 1,000 years would probably be used up.

“Fine… You go ahead and find them yourself.” God Ancestor Sura sighed and trailed off. “I’ll give an order than no one is to disturb you.”

“Thank you.” Lyu Liang said indifferently, and then turned around and said to his guys, “Let’s go. We should do it fast and leave as soon as possible.”

He flew out first, with the other people following behind him. Liu Yu even shook his fist before leaving, which made God Ancestor Wu Ming really angry. But he could do nothing, except glare at Liu Yu furiously.

“Sura, we are just letting them go?” God Ancestor Wan Ghosts spoke out at last, feeling a little frustrated. “We need that man when we are practicing the Skill of Double Soul Immortal. And Caiyun is almost ready. If she is taken away now…”

“That’s good, you know? Maybe we could take this opportunity to figure out what exactly Lyu Liang has achieved during the 1,000 years!” God Ancestor Sura sneered. “In fact, Caiyun has totally regained her power earlier, while she also has a high-ranked executor on her side. For that restriction formation, only Lyu Liang himself could go in there. At that time…”

Before God Ancestor Sura finished speaking, the entire Dark Reign started to shake violently after a big boom was heard!

“What? Let’s go!” God Ancestor Sura looked terrified for the first time. He had no time to explain the situation, and directly flew to the area where Li Caiyun resided, with the other two followed behind him.

After the time of several breaths, they arrived at the place and were immediately struck dumb by the scene in front of them!

Lyu Liang’s followers were all chatting leisurely outside the purplish red light shield, while Lyu Liang himself was dragging Li Caiyun, who had fainted, out, in the way one would drag a dead dog.

“Stop! What are you doing!” God Ancestor Wu Ming just could not hold himself anymore, and growled, “The white-robed man, you can take him away. But Caiyun is our top deacon, and you want to take her away, too?”

“Yes, I have to. She is not supposed to possess this body at all. Right now, I just want to drive her soul out of this body. Afterwards, I won’t mess with her no matter who she is going to possess for the moment. I don’t want to know.” Lyu Liang said calmly and confidently. At the same time, he said softly, “Senior Little Ming, it’s your job now. Thank you!”

“Okay, 30 minutes.” Little Ming who gave out a black aura, emerged. He was the eighth Divine Beast of Chaos that had built a life-bonded covenant with Lyu Liang.

“Well, right. You guys go to the edge of the eastern Magic Forest first. It will take some time to make arrangements for the passage. After that, you go directly to the southern part of the Fox and Wolf Tribe and meet me there. And then we will leave this world together.” Ignoring the people around them, Lyu Liang said to his buddies in an indifferent tone. Next, he turned to stare at Li Caiyun, who was already covered with the black fog.

“Yes, sir!” Liu Yu answered firmly, while the other people also nodded. The next second, they all flew outside, arrogantly. Besides three Peak Supreme Masters, the people with the lowest cultivation among them were at least Early-stage Tao Ancestor, so those executors were not powerful enough to block them. As their Ancestors had not given them any orders for that, why would they risk their lives?

“I’ll leave after I drive her soul out.” Without even looking back, Lyu Liang said to the three God Ancestors behind him, whose faces had already turned deathly pale.

“You are seeking death!” God Ancestor Wu Ming just could not control himself. After a flash of blue light appeared in his palm, he immediately smashed his palm toward Lyu Liang’s head. But just before he touched Lyu Liang, his whole body froze. Feeling extremely terrified, he cried out, “My body…”

“Want to kill me? The three of you are not strong enough!” Lyu Liang still did not turn back, and made a blue light shield to cover Little Ming and himself. At the same time, three Spirit Swallowing Bugs almost the size of a fist each, floated out…

“You… You.. What’s your cultivation now?” Even Ji Luo Tao Lord turned pale at the moment. The Spirit Swallowing Bugs that big, had been released by him!

“Done!” Little Ming condensed into a figure again, and then faded into Lyu Liang’s body, while the light shield also disappeared.

Lyu Liang caught one golden light ball in the air, and threw it directly at the three God Ancestors, as if he was throwing rubbish.

At the same time, he took out the Kunwu Sword and waved it slightly, whereupon a space gap came out after a flash. Lyu Liang faded into it at once. Then, the gap disappeared, too.

“Damn it!” God Ancestor Wu Ming had returned to normal. Clenching his fists desperately, he turned his head and said, “Have you figured out his power?”

Ji Luo Tao Lord shook his head and said with a sigh, “He is erratic, intangible… Perhaps we three could kill him together, but… Ah!”

God Ancestor Wan Ghosts also said with a nod, “He is too calm, too confident. I just can’t imagine that he could change into such kind of person within a 1,000 years. We could try to fight him, but the result might not be good for us…”

…

At the same time, Lyu Liang had already left the Dark Reign. Once again, he smiled honestly, with some slyness in his eyes, and said, “What do you have to say about that, White? Is my deceptive behavior good?”

“You finally know how to use your strengths! You just nailed down their weak points. They had their concerns and did not dare fight you directly.” White nodded. Then he said curiously, “But, if you really have to fight the three of them in this high-level world, do you have any idea how it is going to end?”

“I don’t know. And I won’t even bother to think about that. But, if there is a chance, I will try.” Lyu Liang smiled lightly and said. “Within these 1,000 years, my cultivation has improved to Early-stage Tao Ancestor. But, once I get an opportunity, I think I could break through the bottleneck afterwards! Besides, if I did confront them just now, it might be a good opportunity for me to test my power!”

“… You’ve really grown a lot. Seems that the cultivation in the mortal world has completely changed you!” White was relieved and said happily, “You had a firm Taoist Heart before, but did not know the right way to be there. And now, haha, your road to the Tao will be amazing. I’m really looking forward to it!”

“Road… What exactly is that? I kind of get something, but I’m also like feeling nothing…” Lyu Liang frowned, as if he was recalling something. Then he suddenly shook his head and said sharply, “But, if I came across the same situation as before, I will never be an outsider who could only stand by and watch! Now, let’s go to the Fox and Wolf Clan. That is the last place we are going to in the Nether Big World!”
