Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 489 - 289: Ascension

At the top of the magical cave, the Demonic Qi had already been sucked back into the Divine Soldiers by the jade orb, and the black mist between heaven and earth had thinned considerably, leaving the sky clear and fresh.

The dark sun had not yet passed, and the sky was still dim, but it no longer affected everyone's distant view.

Ling Jingtian and others surrounded the top of the magical cave, standing in mid-air, watching the Demon General with vigilance and gravity.

The Demon General halted ten meters away from Lu Yu, looking at him and speaking in a low and hoarse voice, "In...ter...esting... person..."

Lu Yu's face showed confusion. Was he talking about him?

His confusion flashed away, and he stared nervously at the Demon General, ready to use the Heaven's Edge Ruler Step to escape at any moment.

Facing such a formidable foe as the Demon General, Lu Yu dared not act presumptuously, as the opportunity to escape while catching the enemy off guard was very slim.

Lu Yu waited for the Demon General to make the first move; as long as it acted, Lu Yu would have a chance to flee.

In a duel between two strong forces, the one who acts first often loses.

Though Lu Yu was not considered strong, he was confident he could seize the moment the Demon General attacked to make his escape, rather than be utterly powerless.

Before the Demon General could act, the jade orb that had absorbed a massive amount of Demonic Qi underwent a change, and the magical cave shook violently, rising from the ground.

The thousand-meter-high magical cave lifted from the earth, slowly rising towards the sky, carrying Lu Yu and the Demon General standing atop it. Ling Jingtian and the others outside hurried to keep up with the rising cave, fixing their gaze on the Demon General.

Fei Feng had always been standing beside Lu Yu, but since she was in a spiritual form, Lu Yu couldn't see her. She was seeking the opportunity to strike down the Demon General.

The earlier attack was blocked by the demonized Zhou Chisheng using the vast amounts of Demonic Qi from the magical cave, preventing her from severely injuring the Demon General. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Her remaining Soul Power was limited, and without a hundred percent certainty, she wouldn't act rashly.

Zhou Chisheng turned his head to look at Lu Yu, a glimmer of clarity flashed in his dark pupils, only to be immediately enveloped by endless darkness.

"I'll hold it off, you all hurry and escape," Zhou Chisheng said.

Before he finished speaking, he turned to charge at the Demon General. From beneath the Demon General's feet, seven or eight black bamboo whips emerged, entangling him and restricting his movements.

Zhou Chisheng reached out with a hand, and a bright green light fell into it, the Artifact Spirit of the jade orb.

With a shudder, the aura on the Demon General pulsated, and all the black bamboo whips shattering. Zhou Chisheng showed no sign of concern that the Demon General easily broke his restraint, continuing to charge toward it.

With a wave of the jade orb in his hand, a large number of bamboos surged from the ground, submerging the Demon General among them. Even though the Demon General could easily break the restraint of the black bamboos, it was engulfed by the endless mass of bamboos.

Seeing this, Ling Jingtian instructed, "Form the Moonlight Shelter."

At his command, six non-family members were at a loss, unsure what the Moonlight Shelter was. Ling Jingtian had never mentioned the Moonlight Shelter in the information about the Moonfall Divine Array.

The other five family members moved into action, and soon the remaining six felt their Lunar power rapidly depleting, unable to stop it even if they tried.

Yang Jiawei put away the now dim Fire Phoenix True Feather, noticing the somewhat discolored faces of his three family members, and the increasingly intense glow around the six family members, he understood...

The family never shared the true core secret of the Moonfall Divine Array, and the array might not really need twelve people to form.

At least for now, this seemed to be the case; the remaining six were merely providing Lunar power, serving as batteries for the Moonfall Divine Array, with the real control in the hands of the other six.

"Moonlight Shelter!"

The six family members including Ling Jingtian spread their arms, and a white sphere of moonlight enveloped the top of the magical cave.

As the sphere of light descended, Lu Yu had already moved out of its coverage area. The Demon General entangled by Zhou Chisheng had no opportunity to attack him, let alone the "assassin" hidden in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

The sphere of light sealed off the top of the magical cave, and Lu Yu could feel it cutting off all energy flow, meaning that the Spiritual Qi and Demonic Qi within the sphere would deplete until it completely disappeared.

Moreover, within the sphere, there was a purifying force, continuously cleansing the Demonic Qi, purifying all those within it, only sparing forces of the same nature from being affected.

The Demonic Qi surrounding the Demon General disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Zhou Chisheng was also affected by the purifying force, constantly emitting Demonic Qi which was then obliterated by Lunar power.

However, the Demon General possessed the power of the entire magical cave beneath it, rendering it unfazed by the purification of the Lunar power. More worrisome was whether he could maintain clarity of consciousness.

"It's rising higher and higher, where does it want to take the magical cave?" someone asked, watching as the cave continued to ascend.

After deploying the Moonlight Shelter, the Moonfall Divine Array was dismantled. The Lunar power within the six people who temporarily formed the array was exhausted, not leaving a trace.

They didn't continue flying up with the magical cave because its rising speed increased, appearing to be flying out of this sky.

"If I'm not mistaken, Old Zhou intends to take the magical cave into the astral wind, using its power to kill the Demon General and destroy the magical cave," Ling Jingtian said, heavy-hearted as he watched the cave above.
