Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 817 - 540: Invincible Within the Star Emperor Realm

Lu Lin might be coughing uncontrollably because he spoke too much at once.

His entire body was hunched over, his face deathly pale.

"Master Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Elder of Heng Mountain couldn't help but ask.

He flew to Lu Lin's side, holding up his swaying body with both hands.

"It's nothing, it's fine, Senior, no need to worry. Junior, cough, cough, junior, this is an old ailment."

"An old ailment?"

Elder of Heng Mountain frowned, "Master Lu shouldn't be more than tens of thousands of years old, how could an old ailment be so serious?"

"It's nothing, just the after-effect of guiding star skills for people, cough, cough, cough..."

"Guiding star skills? After-effects?"

Elder of Heng Mountain asked incredulously.

In his lifetime, he had seen no less than a thousand Star Guides, and had never heard of such after-effects from guiding star skills.

"Hmm, Elder of Heng Mountain, no need to worry, this ailment will get better over time."

"Wow—"

As Lu Lin spoke, he suddenly spat out a big mouthful of fresh blood.

That blood carried a hint of blackness.

Everyone watched as this black blood fell, their expressions uncertain, wanting to say something, yet their inner thoughts kept them silent.

"Esteemed seniors, it is an honor for junior Lu Lin to receive your support. Since all of you require guidance in star skills, I naturally will do my best."

"However, my cultivation is limited. If I were to guide star skills every day, I'm afraid in less than half a month, I might, cough, cough..."

Lu Lin said, then had another violent coughing fit.

This time, although he didn't cough up blood, everyone could see that Lu Lin's aura weakened significantly.

Moreover, the key was, Lu Lin had just said, if he guided star skills every day, in less than half a month, he could be either injured or dead, causing countless Star Emperors and Star King levels to be deeply worried.

Whether Lu Lin lived or died didn't matter, the critical point was that no one would be around to guide their star skills, and the hard-won glimmer of hope might vanish entirely.

Thinking of this, those strong practitioners kept consoling him.

"Master Lu, take care of your health, no rush on our matters."

"Indeed, Master Lu, no need to overexert yourself, first focus on your health."

"We've waited for so many years, what's another decade or so? Master Lu's health is important, there is still a long life ahead."

The Star Emperors and Star Kings continued to persuade, making the Star Emperor level individuals particularly gloomy.

There were eight Star Emperor experts who came this time, excluding Elder of Heng Mountain.

Calculating at Lu Lin's pace of guiding star skills for one person per day, even if Lu Lin were to die soon, it wouldn't harm them at all.

But now, as the majority of powerful people started clamoring, even the Star Emperor experts couldn't say much.

Suggesting Lu Lin disregard his health to guide star skills would clearly lead to his death.

Now, among the present people, these seven were quite accomplished. But if placed in General Mountain or other Holy Lands, their ability was just average.

If due to them Lu Lin died or was seriously injured, wouldn't those powerful practitioners tear them apart?

With public opinion shifted by Lu Lin, the subsequent matters were easy to handle.

Lu Lin stated clearly that his recent two star skill guidances had left him with considerable injuries, requiring some recovery time.

Approximately around two months, afterward, he would guide star skills once per month for a powerful practitioner or their kin.

As for the price, it needn't be like others saying thirty or fifty thousand star stones, but rather stick to Lu Lin's original pricing.

This indeed put countless powerful practitioners at ease.

Although they were willing to voluntarily raise their offer price for their own future or that of their kin, Lu Lin's decision to maintain the original price, without pocketing extra money, made numerous strong practitioners feel that Lu Lin was a person worth dealing with.

As Lu Lin was coughing and discussing with everyone.

On another side.

Long Ze's breakthrough was reaching its final stage.

This time, with Elder of Heng Mountain and many formidable practitioners from General Mountain invisibly protecting him, the previous issue encountered during promotion did not recur.

Only to see Long Ze's aura surging upward.

At this moment, his aura even surpassed the stars in the sky.

A divine sword thrust straight into the sky.

Star Power surged around Long Ze.

Like a deity of the celestial realm.

Truly a unique Sword God.

"Today."

"I, Long Ze, have broken through and become the Emperor, announcing to the world, I shall seek justice for Fu Xiaojun, make that demoness pay the price, restore my Master's honor."

"Henceforth, in the Star Emperor realm, with me, invincible!"

Long Ze declared his proclamation upon becoming Emperor.

As those words were spoken, not to mention how other Star Emperors would react upon hearing, but the seven present Star Emperor experts immediately changed their expressions.

To become a Star Emperor, one must be rather ambitious.

Being publicly announced by a junior as invincible in the Star Emperor realm, how could they still carry on afterward?

Just as someone couldn't help but step forward to let Long Ze experience their level.

Numerous invisible sword qis shot out in every direction, centered on Long Ze.

Those Star Emperor experts not only didn't retreat but instead flew forward, ready to test Long Ze's limits.

But just as they took off, confronting the first wave of sword qi, they instantly felt an overpowering force.

How could this be possible?

Long Ze, hasn't he just been promoted to the Star Emperor realm?

How could his casually emitted sword qi push them back?

Moreover, everyone knew that Long Ze's actions were not aiming at anyone, it was entirely to release the surplus star power and presence gathered in his body.

But even just this, unbelievably forced them to turn and retreat.

Such terror from this youth.

Especially when someone saw that it was merely Long Ze releasing the first wave of sword qi, and behind it, were at least seven or eight more formidable waves of sword qi, their faces changed again.

Retreat.

Retreat quickly.

If they didn't retreat now, they'd miss the chance to do so.

In the blink of an eye, the previously aggressive and confident seven Star Emperor experts, now flew off in an even faster speed to further destinations.

The other Star Emperors, Star Kings did the same.

Seeing even Star Emperor level experts couldn't withstand the sword qies, were they staying to become lotus roots?

If not retreat now, then when?

"Sigh—"

"Foolish child—"

Elder of Heng Mountain sighed deeply.

With a wave, he tossed out a spherical object.

As the sphere just flew out from Elder of Heng Mountain's hand, it grew instantly in the wind, becoming as big as the entire Imperial Palace.

A translucent membrane enveloped the place.

The sword qies unleashed by Long Ze collided, wave after wave, with this transparent membrane, but just like waves crashing against a reef, the grandeur was apparent, but it was utterly futile.

That treasure of Elder of Heng Mountain extinguished all of Long Ze's sword qies without a ripple rising.

Long Ze sighed inwardly.

His Master truly knew how to embellish his disciple's reputation.

He had just proclaimed invincibility within the Star Emperor realm, and in the blink of an eye, his Master had crafted such a scene.

"Long Ze, even after so many years, you're still so impulsive."

"Bid farewell to Master Lu, and return to face the wall in penance."

"This...yes."

Long Ze almost wanted to explain something, but was deterred by a glare from Elder of Heng Mountain, and had to bow his head and agree.

Approaching Lu Lin, Long Ze finally formally looked Lu Lin up and down.

Young, handsome, with a clean demeanor.

Though also dashing, he wasn't like Long Ze who had an air of roguishness, instead, he seemed to have a touch of composure amidst his vigor.

Even with just Star Lord level ability, facing numerous strong practitioners, he spoke eloquently without a change of composure.

A truly fine young man.

Long Ze slightly bowed to Lu Lin, who quickly sidestepped.

At his current standing, he didn't deserve to accept the courtesy of a Star Emperor, especially such a talented Star Emperor expert.
