Chapter 186: Someone With No Competitors

After coming out of the residence of the founding father of Sword Character, Lyu Liang was about to go back to his own cave residence, when Liu Jiawen suddenly appeared. She just pulled Lyu Liang forward without saying anything.

Upon seeing the excited Liu Jiawen, Lyu Liang didn’t bother asking her what was going on. He would know as soon as they arrived someplace anyway.

Moments later, they showed up in a courtyard clearly meant for girls. They saw five people already sitting around: Zhu Yan, Zheng Xuan, Liu Jiahao, Yang Ying and Wen Ying.

“You idiot! Let me tell you something. After several days, there will be an immortal test that’s held every 5,000 years. We all decided to go, what about you? The winners could be promoted directly to the Heaven Realm and also have a chance to get the incredible magic treasures. What do you think? Are you interested?” Liu Jiawen’s rapid-fire way of talking left Lyu Liang speechless. He was also thinking to himself, “Zheng Xuan, Liu Jiahao and Liu Jiawen weren’t on the list at the time.”

Lyu Liang was pondering how to say this when Zhu Yan opened his mouth cheerfully. “I guess brother Lyu already knew about this. If my prediction is right, when the final list comes out three days before the immortal test, he will surely be on it. Who wants to bet with me?”

His confident expression and Lyu Liang’s speechless smile allowed everyone to understand the situation clearly.

Lyu Liang told them frankly that the founding father of Sword Character had talked to him, yet he still kept his fighting strategy to himself. After all, the fewer people knew about it, the more surprising the fight would be.

“In fact, that’s unnecessary. When my father asked us to join in, I already told him about you. Just put your name in and everything will be okay.” Liu Jiahao was sincerely worried about Lyu Liang. Anyway, the artilleries on the battle field didn’t have eyes. Getting hurt accidentally was just not worth it.

Only Liu Jiawen rolled her eyes as if she had come up with something. However, she said nothing. She remained uncharacteristically quiet.

“Okay, how about this? If I don’t make an achievement during the battle in two days, I may have to trouble your father! Before that happens, I still want to try by myself. Don’t worry. I’m prepared to give the enemies a hard time!” Lyu Liang contemplated this shortly as he spoke. He didn’t reject other people’s good intentions directly, so he now had two guarantees.

People were well aware of Lyu Liang’s temper. They didn’t go any further as he said this. The next topics were the things that existed inside the door of the Heaven Realm.

They were shocked when they talked more. Both Zheng Xuan and Liu Jiahao had already entered once, when they had been at the Peak of the Almighty Immortal. They had acquired the qualification after winning the immortal test held in Goddess Nyu Wa’s space.

When people got curious about how they would be able to take the immortal test again, Zheng Xuan said something that suddenly helped them understand why. “The immortal test is held every 5,000 years. The cultivators at the Peak of the Almighty Immortal, as well as its late stage, are all qualified to join. There is no limited number. My actual cultivation was already at the early-stage God Ancestor, but I’m being compressed by Natural Law, so I’m only at the early-stage Fairy Immortal after coming down to the Mortal World. By relying on the precious treasures of my family, my cultivation can remain at the Peak Almighty Immortal, so it’s not against the rules that I take the immortal test in this world. Besides, this method is commonly used in Remote Antiquity families. Every time this test is held, the big families will all send powerful people down to the Mortal World just so that they will qualify to enter the door of the Heaven Realm.”

Liu Jiahao and his sister agreed with this. Lyu Liang now realized that the big families in the Immortal World had this move! According to his understanding, Goddess Nyu Wa’s space was somewhere higher than the Heaven Realm, but they still kept sending people to take the immortal test, which clearly indicated that the Treasure House in the headquarters of the Heavenly Alliance was really attractive.

Although Lyu Liang became more eager now, he also kind of felt helpless as three more powerful competitors joined in.

Liu Jiawen seemed to know what Lyu Liang was thinking. She patted him on the shoulder and smiled while saying in the tone of a head girl, “Little brother, we all know why you want to go there. Don’t worry. No matter who makes the top three, we are all determined to get the Eternal Heaven Fire!”

Upon hearing this, Lyu Liang stared at Liu Jiawen dumbfounded. Then, he bowed deeply to everyone and said slowly, “All your kindness will be etched deeply in my heart. Any time you need me in the future, I’ll be all yours!”

Even though he hadn’t gotten in touch with the Remote Antiquity families, hearing and seeing something about it all the time made him realize that this was a formidable giant where emperor-level cultivators resided. These three people obviously were the core members of this family, but they were not arrogant at all. They even risked their lives with him and gave up their own benefits without a frown. How could he not be really grateful for them?

When Lyu Liang uttered these words sincerely, they all laughed a little. Zhu Yan held him up and said with a smile, “If you really want to show your gratitude, just lose on purpose when we meet then!”

Everyone burst into laughter and the atmosphere became very cheerful. Upon seeing the sincere smile on everyone’s faces, Lyu Liang kept this friendship deep in his heart.

…

Two days passed quickly. The great battle between the two sides was more like a formality. It was necessary only for people like Lyu Liang, who had missed signing up for the immortal test and still wanted to cut in line. They would have a fight and show their faces, which was a good method!

The two sides were now mainly focusing on the immortal test that was about to start. All the elites were in closed-door meditation or in seclusion. Both camps set up a large array of cannons. They would just shoot at each other several times and find someone to get their faces shown. Then, the battle would be over.

Lyu Liang would go out to fight the enemy. He had earned a reputation before, so the people on his side who would be coming to watch the battle were not much fewer than those who had watched the previous battle. They were all waiting to see what kind of surprise he was going to bring them after developing his cultivation several times sharply within 100 years.

Even though he already knew what Lyu Liang’s plan was, the founding father of Sword Character still kept telling him, “Artillery is dangerous. Safety first.” This made Lyu Liang feel warm inside.

As described before, both sides set up the cannons in unification and started to shoot 80 feet away from each other. Meanwhile, several cultivators from both sides flew out and reached each other quickly.

Once the battle started, it was different from the previous life-and-death battles. Their top priority was to remain unhurt, so they all tried to dodge the fire at first. Some of them behaved even more inappropriately, as they hadn’t taken out their magic treasures. Instead, they were exchanging looks. The powerful figures from both sides shook their heads secretly over this.

No matter what, this kind of face-showing method shouldn’t be treated randomly, even though it did work all the time and had worked really well before. Right now, messengers from the Heavenly Alliance were hiding in both sides to observe secretly. The two guys that had obviously been acting just now had surely been excluded from the test list already. Even fighting with all their strength wasn’t going to help now…

As the battle was going on vigorously with weapons discharging volleys, a dazzling silver vessel suddenly came out of the sky and instantly reached the camp of the Nether Big World, which was parked right above the cannons.

Everyone was really surprised. Something frightening had just happened to the Nether Big World! Below the silver vessel, the cannons shook violently one by one and then started to self-detonate!

One, two, three… Their speed was fast. Almost every two breaths, a cannon would break into ashes. When the fourth cannon started self-detonating, the powerful figures supervising the battle from the opposite side finally realized what was going on and transmitted a resounding voice. “Oh no! The vessel can destroy the cannons. Take back the remaining cannons!”

However, it was already too late. As he shouted, two more cannons detonated. The key was a black-robed person who’d already taken back a cannon quickly. Unfortunately, when the silver vessel moved to the space above him, he cried out miserably and actually died by self-detonating!

Before people could come back to their senses, the mouth of a cannon on the silver vessel flashed once. Then, a Spiritual Qi bomb giving out a devastating aura hit the densest area of the opposite side.

Suddenly, there was quite a stir in both camps. The Chaotic World was full of joy, while the Nether Big World cried miserably.

Xu Mubai and Li Wuyi had already received a hint from Lyu Liang earlier, so they had just been waiting for this sight! At the moment, several big puppets took the lead to rush into the opposite camp and shoot at the panicked black-robed people recklessly.

Some smart people on Lyu Liang’s side had reacted earlier and were now fighting the enemies to take credit. Anyway, the enemies just wouldn’t step up and let one kill them without doing anything!

Soon, the battle that had stemmed from both sides’ perfunctory behavior changed into a great victory for the Chaotic World after a silver vessel joined in!

After this battle, the Nether Big World experienced the most painful loss it had ever since the fight had begun. There were countless casualties, a dozen of hard-earned cannons had been destroyed, and the whole camping ground had to retreat nearly 1,000 feet because of the effect of a Spiritual Qi bomb!

After the enemies all withdrew into their camp, the silver vessel disappeared and Lyu Liang and Liu Jiawen emerged. Lyu Liang seemed a little helpless, while Liu Jiawen just looked as if she wanted more of that.

Everyone was staring at both of them dumbfounded. Liu Jiawen, who was good at showing off, just bowed before Lyu Liang respectfully. “I’m really honored to take this vessel and watch your great performance. I’m indeed a lucky girl!” After finishing speaking, she made a face with her back to everyone and disappeared on the spot…

Even an idiot would know what had happened just now! This was Lyu Liang, who had resolved the crisis of one realm by himself!

Although he had disappeared for 100 years, his appearance had already changed a battle for show everyone was aware of to a great victory by coming out of the sky surprisingly. It was the most unhindered battle until now!

Right now, any words of praise would fail them, as they were all deeply shocked! The terrifying cannons had been destroyed completely by Lyu Liang in such an easy way. That awesome shooting had obviously been much more powerful than the cannons! Many knowledgeable powerful figures on the spot already knew that the power of that Spiritual Qi bomb was far beyond that of the Tao Ancestor based on that shooting!

Everyone looked at Lyu Liang with obvious respect.

“The silver vessel is out. No match in sight!” This became the most widely-known saying in the Chaotic World after this battle. Although nobody knew the exact details of the Dreamy Crystal Vessel, Lyu Liang had without a doubt already become a terrible man far above their level!

…

Lyu Liang’s behavior not only startled both camps, but also alerted some people who were extremely sensitive to this vessel.

In the space of Goddess Nyu Wa, two old men were in the palace of the Zhu family, which was one of the ten families. They were looking at a crystal ball a youth had presented, where a brilliant silver vessel was sparkling. They were fully satisfied.

“Brother Zhu, is this the man your grandson thinks so highly of? He is indeed a priceless treasure!”

“Haha… You are quite right! Looking at him, I think the decision to seal in that very year might be wrong! Well, forget it. How could a man like him not exist at the time?”

“Older brother Donghuang is probably going to give his legacy to this man. I have to go home quickly and tell my wife this news. She will be really happy if she finds out that her older brother got a successor!”

…

Inside the main palace in the Dark Reign of the Nether Big World, five black-robed people frowned tightly as they were watching the silver vessel in the crystal ball silently. Moments later, an old man finally said in a low voice, “It’s time to make that undercover pawn act! Lyu Liang is an exception. He has completely destroyed the balance, so we definitely shouldn’t tolerate him any longer!”

Another middle-aged man agreed with him and said, “Yes! We originally thought Lyu Liang had died in the civilization remains. We never expected that he had instead acquired such a terrible civilization product! Kill him! We have to kill him! Inform the Dark Night Family and tell them to do this during the immortal test! He must not live to see the beginning of the next battle!”

…

At the same time, also in the Dark Reign, a man and a woman stood side by side in a quiet place. Both of them were looking up at the dark starry sky.

The man was wearing a white robe, and his beautiful face was full of grief and sadness.

The woman was wearing a red dress, but her delicate face looked like a young girl’s. However, she was exuding an experienced quality that did not match her appearance.

“Qing’er, Lyu Liang’s behavior exceeded our expectations. Fifth Prince must be discussing how to kill him with his people now.”

“You are right, brother Yun. The ghost just told me the details of their meeting. Don’t worry about it, though. Lyu Liang will be fine. The Dark Night Family is only capable of causing some trouble. If they want to kill Lyu Liang, it will be extremely difficult!”

“Okay. Ever since milord Divine Emperor left, you being here is the only thing that makes me happy. Well, it’s about time that I go prepare for it. If my prediction is right, it won’t be long before those people come to the Nether Big World!” 666.

“I see. Don’t worry, Brother Yun. I will take care of everything here. I’m really looking forward to it! Let’s wait and see if things develop according to the plan milord Shenhuang made that very year!”
