The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 553 - 420: Spirit Venerable
"...The pursuer... has returned... let others help to draw the hatred... be careful and hide... we will arrange for someone to respond to you as soon as possible..."
The wind swept past Yu Wentong from both sides, bringing a faint cold and decaying scent.
She reached out to stroke her left shoulder, and between her fingers, a purple light seeped out, slowly pulling out a rhomboid crystal half a finger long from her body.
Inside this transparent crystal, a blooming daffodil was sealed, emitting a glistening white light, like a finely crafted artwork.
Yu Wentong held the prismatic crystal in her hand and quietly scrutinized it for a few seconds, then let go expressionlessly.
The beautiful daffodil prism fell from the high air and disappeared into the red waters below shrouded with Black Qi.
Having done all this, Yu Wentong continued forward.
In a while, she stopped at a location.
This was the skeletal remains of a particularly large ancient beast floating on the blood-red waters, with most of its body submerged, only a head similar to a triangular rhinoceros exposed outside.
The three rhino horns protruded into the air like oddly-shaped peaks, the entire skull towering hundreds of meters high, resembling a small mountain standing on water.
Yu Wentong descended onto one of the black rhino horns at the top of the skull.
Below the rhino skull, a large amount of Black Qi climbed upward like black serpents, forming a black tide that continuously devoured the skull.
The tranquility of this waters had been completely shattered, even the most dull-witted could see that a mutation is about to occur.
But Yu Wentong seemed completely oblivious to these, merely sitting cross-legged, breathing and mobilizing the purple energy halo to come out through her body.
Countless free Cosmic Energy in the void was drawn over, gradually forming a massive and invisible vortex in the sky, with its focal point being Yu Wentong’s body...
It is unknown how much time had passed.
As the skull’s peak was swallowed halfway by the Black Qi, and the purple glow surrounding Yu Wentong at the peak expanded to a diameter of several dozen meters.
Suddenly, a sound of something breaking through the air came from afar.
Yu Wentong, within the halo, suddenly opened her eyes, instantly absorbing all energy and halo into her body.
She lifted her head, looking towards the direction where the sound came from.
The next second, her eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow as she watched with cold eyes a figure rapidly approaching.
Before Yu Wentong could speak, the newcomer spoke first with "surprise".
"Huh? What a coincidence.
Lord Tong, how come you’re here too?"
Yu Wentong didn’t speak, only looked at the other party expressionlessly.
Under her piercing gaze, the other party gave up on that clumsy excuse, finally saying, "Alright, alright, I admit it’s not a coincidence...
But now that I’m here, you can’t just ask me to go back."
Yu Wentong was silent for a moment, suddenly saying: "How did you find my location?"
Before coming, she had already checked her whole body and discarded all communication devices, even specifically taking a long detour in the waters.
If it were the impending enemy who found her, it wouldn’t be surprising.
But to be caught up by Lu Yuan so quickly, she was indeed curious.
"By intuition... you could call it the guidance of fate."
Lu Yuan replied seriously.
He spoke honestly, but Yu Wentong didn’t believe him at all, turning her head away with disinterest.
Lu Yuan helplessly spread his hands, but the smile on his face slowly faded.
If on the way here, he was still just puzzled and curious, now, seeing Yu Wentong in this battle-ready stance, his heart truly became heavy.
The result of the Chaos Divination only informed him that he should come over.
As for why to come, and what exactly was happening.
He wasn’t clear.
Lu Yuan stood by Yu Wentong’s side, watching as Yu Wentong continuously adjusted her state, also noting the increasingly intense Black Qi below, his eyes gleaming as he was about to inquire about the reason.
At this moment, an intense and inexplicable feeling of unease and crisis suddenly arose in his heart.
Before Lu Yuan could react, he saw a mass of deep purple glow swiftly enveloping his whole body.
In this instant, the timeline seemed to stretch a million times.
A force pulled Lu Yuan’s body to the side.
Amid the hazy purple light, Lu Yuan watched as a silver, bright, and patterned tentacle infinitely extended from a distant point.
Scraping past his body, it shot backward little by little.
"Boom!"
A terrifying power exploded below the waters, causing the skull summit to quiver violently.
Masses of black air mixed with red currents erupted in the scene like a nuclear bomb in a muddy swamp, shaking the heavens and earth, leaving it in chaos.
"Hoo—"
Consciousness returned to normal, Lu Yuan breathed heavily, his face pale, seeing that the silver tentacle that almost pierced through his heart swiftly retracted.
Before the shock and doubt in his heart could erupt, in the next breath, he saw—
In the not far off void, a figure impossibly familiar to him quietly descended.
"It’s him?!"
Lu Yuan stared at the tall, straight, silver-braided youth appearing in his sight, his heart instantly surging with turbulent waves.
"How could it be him, wasn’t he already crippled by us, turned into an egg and escaped?"
Lu Yuan’s expression became unpleasant, subconsciously looking at Yu Wentong.
But Yu Wentong was quite calm, apparently already knowing who the opponent of this battle was.
"Don’t look at me like that, I too would like to know why?"
Yu Wentong said to him.
Lu Yuan’s face changed slightly, guessing that Yu Wentong had learned about the imminent strong enemy’s attack, and to not drag him into another adventure, chose to face it alone.
