Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation-Chapter 967 - 483: Rune Cultivation and Subduing Formidable Foes

Chapter 967 -483: Rune Cultivation and Subduing Formidable Foes

By the banks of Zhou Mountain Lake, Lu Yun’s whole body glistened with a light that was not intensely bright, but extremely mysterious. An invisible oppression dispersed around him, causing rhythmic ripples over the surface of the lake.

His Great Sun Undying Golden Body Manual had entered the second level, also known as the tempering of the Imperishable Golden Bones.

He had already tempered four pieces completely, and after using up all the Primordial Liquid, the progress of tempering the fifth piece had also nearly reached one-fifth.

Besides making the Physical Body stronger, the Imperishable Golden Bones generated the utmost vitality and Divine Power, and they contained the most mysterious and profound Rune symbols.

The vitality greatly enhanced the Physical Body’s ability to recover, and Divine Power greatly fortified the Great Sun Anomaly and the Divine Sea Golden Lotus Phenomenon.

The Runes on the Imperishable Golden Bones were the most profound and had the greatest potential.

Lu Yun pondered, allowing the arcane truths of the Runes on the Imperishable Golden Bones to circulate in his heart, making his aura grow even more vigorous.

“How should I harness the power of these Runes?” he wondered.

The Runes on each piece of Imperishable Golden Bones were different, and they formed a small whole, operating spontaneously like a small Array normally.

But how to harness the effects and might of Imperishable Golden Bones, and how to connect the Runes on different pieces?

This was a process of development and, even more so, enlightenment. Only by doing so could he truly bring the function of the Imperishable Golden Bones to the extreme, rather than merely accumulating Divine Power.

“The Holy Body Phenomenon is an important method for me against enemies. It’s imperative to enhance the Holy Body Phenomenon and increase its power…”

Lines of spiritual light rose within Lu Yun’s heart as he introspected every part of himself.

Then, he began to operate his Divine Power, and his Divine Dawn surged, causing the Great Sun Anomaly to rise and expand.

Compared to before, the Anomaly was more powerful and his Divine Power infinite.

However, to use it to suppress a great enemy was quite forced, and might even be less powerful than the Demon Slaying God-Killing Saber.

The Demon Slaying God-Killing Saber had been enhanced to Fourth Grade Perfection, turning the sky dim with its might when unsheathed.

As Divine Dawn burst forth, the Great Sun Anomaly grew increasingly intense, with the appearance of a Three-legged Golden Crow circling around the golden beam of the sun.

Immediately after, the Runes on the Imperishable Golden Bones emerged and under Lu Yun’s control, they began to align and combine precisely.

Talisman Restrictions, one after the other, formed and shined brilliantly, embedded around the blazing sun, sparkling and dazzling, and remarkably beautiful to behold.

He kept the Anomaly and Talisman Restrictions under control, intertwining and influencing each other. This process was arduous, and the consumption of his mental energies was significant.

But this was undoubtedly a fine attempt, and the results he obtained in the end would far exceed expectations.

After repeated attempts and numerous failures, Lu Yun spat out a mouthful of reverse-flowing blood. Even his sturdy Physical Body nearly failed to maintain itself.

Lu Yun was trying to embed these Runes as Restrictions directly onto the Anomaly or combine them into small Arrays, which would then construct a Great Array to support and strengthen the Anomaly—two different approaches.

For now, the former was simpler and within his current capabilities.

Upon embedding the Talisman Restrictions around the Anomaly, Lu Yun realized a special force emerged, very unique, enigmatic with Dao Rhyme, making Divine Dawn and oppressive might emanating from the Anomaly even more powerful.

“This is just a preliminary trial, and by merely activating the Runes of the four Imperishable Golden Bones, the Anomaly’s power has roughly increased by twenty percent,” he thought.

Lu Yun felt very pleased, a slight smile curling at the corner of his lips, looking forward to further exploration of this path.

He began to switch the alignment and combination of Runes, forming new Restrictions.

As expected, the Anomaly’s power increased again.

The smile on Lu Yun’s face grew thicker, and then he tried another combination.

When the Anomaly operated, heaven and earth were sealed, enveloped by the Divine Dawn of the Great Sun, and the Three-legged Golden Crow born from it was like a Nine Heavens Divine Beast, exuding a terrifying aura.

He kept attempting, summarizing, and after about several hundred tries, he found the most optimal combination, capable of increasing the Anomaly’s power by thirty percent, and his understanding of the Runes and their arrangement grew deeper.

Moreover, he was well aware that this was just the beginning. As more Imperishable Golden Bones were tempered, the number of Runes would also grow, and their combined arrangement would become more myriad and complex.

Of course, by then, the Holy Body Phenomenon would be even more powerful.

Gathering up the Anomaly, Lu Yun left the lakeside, searching anew for a Jade Talisman.

“Another Jade Talisman has appeared.”

Just at that moment, there came shouts from afar, startling everyone.

Every emergence of a Jade Talisman sparked a spectacular battle.

This time was no exception, as more and more Heavenly Prides converged.

In the center of the cluster of lakes, there was an island shrouded in mist and fog, its details indistinct, only a jade-white color piercing the sky, radiant without compare.

“Just out of seclusion, and a Jade Talisman appears, my luck isn’t bad,” Lu Yun mused to himself, his face showing a hint of extraordinary color.

“The Jade Talisman is real.”

People who reached the central island of the lake cluster discovered the Jade Talisman.

It hung on a huge rock by the lakeside, crystal-clear like a piece of quartz, radiating a dazzling light.

“The Jade Talisman is mine, nobody else even think about competing with me.”

“Hmph, the Jade Talisman belongs to no one, it’s naturally first come, first served.”

In a flash, a dozen Heavenly Prides soared towards the Jade Talisman at the same time, all exuding a mighty presence, at least beyond the Fifth Level of the True Spirit Realm.

As they were about to reach the spot where the Jade Talisman was located, a sudden bright light shone, dense with Runes. Then, Killing Intent enveloped the area, spreading outwards from where the Jade Talisman lay.

“Pfft!”

On the island, the dozen or so Heavenly Prides were instantly blown apart, their shattered bones smeared with blood, splattering in all directions— a horrific sight.

Others, who were relatively closer, triggered a Killing Array and were gravely injured, suffering unimaginable heavy losses.

The rest backed away quickly, distancing themselves from the Jade Talisman.

They were somewhat dazed, thinking, was obtaining the Jade Talisman really that difficult, that even Heavenly Prides of the True Spirit Realm at the fifth and sixth levels were being blasted to death?

And that powerful fluctuation was impacting people on the periphery, which was undoubtedly chilling.

“Hmph, let me see what exactly is going on here.”

A powerful Heavenly Pride stepped forward, opened his Cave Heavens to resist that world-shaking Killing Intent, and forced his way closer to the Jade Talisman.

Soon, he spotted the clue; inside was a terrifyingly powerful Great Array that would activate as soon as anyone approached.

Those Heavenly Prides from before had been slain by the energy stimulated by the Great Array, an unbearable sight. Their Physical Bodies turned into a rain of blood, with only a few pieces of silvery white bone remaining.

Hiss!

Dozens of blood swords attacked, and while this Heavenly Pride had all his Cave Heavens open, he could not block them all. His body was covered with wounds, and a huge hole appeared in his stomach, blood trickling out.

In the end, he retreated, his face ashen.

Meanwhile, an old man emerged from the Killing Array. He had white hair, a hooked nose, an insidious gaze, and a goat beard on his chin.

Those hidden in the shadows were all startled, was this peerless Killing Array arranged by this man?

“Who are you, and why have you set up such a huge array to ambush us?”

The Heavenly Pride who had been injured by the Killing Array demanded.

“Ha ha, naturally, I wanted to exchange this Jade Talisman for some resources with you.” The old man’s mouth twitched up, revealing a long, oblique smile as he looked meaningfully at the group of Heavenly Prides.

“What a joke, the Jade Talisman isn’t even yours, why should you exchange it for resources with us?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s face turned cold, and several of the stronger Heavenly Prides released a strong aura, pressuring the old man together.

“With only a Killing Array to rely on, you want to coerce us, Heavenly Prides? Really, an old immorta eating arsenic, are you tired of living?” The wounded Heavenly Pride coldly said, opening his Cave Heavens wide and raising his Dao Weapons into the air, ready to join forces with the others to surround and suppress the old man.

“You should really think this through. Once you anger this old one, the consequences will be quite miserable,” the old man said sinisterly.

At the same time, auroras shot up from four corners of the island, and an even more powerful Killing Array unfurled, enveloping Heaven and Earth in a dense aura of sandalwood.

As the Array activated, everyone shuddered uncontrollably. The scene of a dozen Heavenly Prides being obliterated was still vividly in their minds.

By now, they all understood that the adversary had long prepared a peerless Killing Array here and then activated the Jade Talisman to lure them all over.

“I forgot to mention that if you wish to leave this island, there is a certain price to pay, including but not limited to spirit herbs and treasures, preferably those extending life.”

Under the shocked and astonished gazes of the crowd, the old man appeared nonchalant, touching his goat beard and smiling lightly.

“Don’t be intimidated by him; strong as the Killing Array may be, if we slay him, it will become a masterless Array. Then, we can not only seize the Jade Talisman but also leave freely.”

“Yes, we, as Heavenly Prides, cannot be deterred by such a vicious old fiend’s might. Let’s act together and suppress him.”

These Heavenly Prides were all beings of pride and high spirits, falling into someone else’s trap and being coerced, which was an atrocious insult for them.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll just have to send a few of you off first.”

Having said that, the old man activated the Great Array, and Heaven and Earth swirled with winds and clouds. In an instant, brilliant talisman restrictions condensed into various Divine Weapons and swords falling from the sky, targeting the few Heavenly Prides who sought to resist.

“We, as Heavenly Prides, carry the mandate of heaven, posses great Divine Abilities through our Cultivation, how can we be suppressed by a mere Killing Array?”

They all erupted with their Cave Heavens, invoking their ultimate Divine Abilities and powerful spirit weapons to counter the Killing Array’s onslaught.

“Mere mayflies shaking a great tree, utterly overestimating your abilities,” the old man sneered as though speaking of an insignificant matter.

The peerless Killing Array prepared its myriad spirit weapons that descended, striking the Heavenly Prides down to the mortal realm, shattering their Physical Bodies, and extinguishing their auras.

Upon witnessing this, the expressions of the other Heavenly Prides were all shaken; this Killing Array was too horrifying, capable of blasting even a True Spirit Realm eight-level Heavenly Pride to death.

With a slight gesture from the old man, the Killing Array changed, its quick-kill aura thickening, and the entire island was enveloped in an incredibly sharp killing intent.

“Senior, please stay your hand! I am willing to pay the price, please allow me to leave,” someone couldn’t withstand the increasingly intense killing air, promptly opened their Cave Heavens, and took out a rare treasure of Heaven and Earth to present to the old man.

“True Spirit Realm Second Layer?” The old man nodded slightly, accepting the rare treasure, and then turned to look at the others.

“Even Xiong Bielin, a Heavenly Pride of Yanling Prefecture, was blasted to death by this peerless Great Array. It’s better for us to hand over the rare treasures early and preserve our lives,” a few Heavenly Prides exchanged looks and communicated through voice transmission.

One person took the lead, and the other Heavenly Prides one after another brought out rare treasures and spirit herbs from their own Cave Heavens.

“Ha ha, good to see you know what’s good for you; I won’t make it hard for you.”

The old man displayed a smile, cheerfully collecting one spirit herb after another into his Cave Heavens.

Finally, when receiving from the last person, he suddenly stopped and looked towards Lu Yun in front of him, showing a wary expression.

“Young friend, you don’t need to.”

As if feeling something was not right, he added, “Fair’s fair; we’ll split these spirit herbs and treasures half and half.”

After finishing his words, without waiting for Lu Yun to respond, he put a large amount of spirit herbs and rare treasures in front of Lu Yun, then opened the Great Array and fled as if escaping.

Looking at the spirit herbs scattered on the ground, Lu Yun was at a loss for words.

He had been prepared to make a move, but the old fellow’s sudden actions made it difficult for him to proceed.

It’s not right to strike someone who offers a smile, and besides, the other party was being quite accommodating.

The goat-bearded old man fleeing away kept looking back, “Such bad luck, to have encountered this monstrous being.”

He had witnessed Lu Yun’s battle with Lei Zhenzi and the suppression of Divine Fire Ancestor a few months ago.

His own strength was also similar to that of Divine Fire Ancestor, so coming across Lu Yun again and being robbed by him, he acted so flustered, even offering a Jade Talisman and a pile of spirit herbs in order to avoid ugliness.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and couldn’t help trembling.

“That’s right, his Cultivation Level seems to be True Spirit Realm eight-layer.”

“In less than half a year, he climbed from True Spirit Realm first layer to the eighth, is this guy even human?”
