Chapter 52 The Grand Gathering at Yaochi
Chapter 52 The Grand Gathering at Yaochi
After leaving the Wang family stone archway, Lu Zhao rushed towards the outskirts of the Holy City, not daring to delay along the way, for fear of being caught up by those guys.
Sure enough, at top speed, it seemed that no one could catch up with him.
Even after leaving the Northern Holy City, no pursuers came after them.
Even after escaping here, Lu Zhao still did not relax, and continued to use the Star Shift technique to head towards Yaochi.
Today, Yaochi is a mixed bag, with too many people gathering there.
Once he gets inside, even if those people want to track him, they probably won't have a target, and they won't have to worry about being discovered.
However, after fleeing for a while, Lu Zhao suddenly sensed something was wrong.
Because it was so quiet, so many people who were capable of tracking him failed to find a single trace.
Several auras arrived at lightning speed, their speed almost matching his own.
The reason they didn't sense it earlier was because he used the principles of space to constantly jump through space, making it impossible for these people to approach immediately.
As soon as the speed slowed down, these people immediately surrounded them.
There's no way to shake them off; we can only face them head-on.
"Heh, you're pretty fast." A cold laugh rang out.
"You're really good at running; you actually used up more than ten lightning talismans."
"Locked by our lightning runes, no matter how fast you go, you cannot escape our pursuit and will leave behind fragments of the holy weapon."
Several figures appeared; they were the powerful figures who had made the bids earlier.
"Gentlemen, which of you should I give this fragment to?"
Lu Zhao pulled out the divine source and looked at those people.
"Heh, you young upstart, trying to incite infighting among us with such tactics? You're still too naive."
"Just hand over that fragment, and we'll have our own way of distributing it."
"You don't need to worry about the assignments."
Lu Zhao pursed his lips helplessly. These powerful figures from the holy lands were all very cautious and would not be easily provoked or allowed to slip through his fingers.
"Since that's the case, then I'll invite you all to watch a good show." Lu Zhao gripped the Divine Source tightly, crushing it completely.
At the same time, the black gourd quickly appeared in Lu Zhao's other hand.
The moment the divine source shattered, a figure gradually emerged, like a god or demon, exuding a cold aura.
However, despite being only the size of a fist, it still made several powerful figures stare wide-eyed.
"The Soul of Soldiers".
"It's actually the spirit of a soldier."
"Priceless."
The powerful figures instantly changed color, their previous composure completely gone. This thing was far too important, far more precious than any deity.
This is a completely ownerless weapon spirit that can be integrated into any weapon.
When repairing those sacred weapons, the effect is far better than that of the gods, with no conflict whatsoever, and they can be perfectly integrated with the weapons.
The moment this weapon spirit was cut out, an anomaly was felt in the Primordial Ancient Mine.
It was as if a pair of eyes had opened in the ancient mine and were looking towards the Soul of the Soldier, but the gaze quickly disappeared.
Several powerful figures were momentarily stunned by this gaze.
When they came to their senses, they discovered that Lu Zhao had activated the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, devouring the soldier's soul and merging it into the black gourd.
"Youngster, are you looking for death?"
"It's that black gourd; this guy is Ye Fan in disguise again."
"Damn it, what a waste of military spirit! If I don't kill this brat today, I won't be able to vent my anger. I'll cripple him in a bit, then slit his throat and let him die little by little."
Several powerful figures gritted their teeth, filled with hatred for Lu Zhao at this moment.
At this moment, the soldier's spirit merged into the black gourd, causing a huge change in the gourd.
Especially after the soldier's spirit entered, the entire black gourd roared and produced a series of strange fluctuations, as if it had human emotions.
Meanwhile, inside this black gourd, the soldier's spirit is transforming into a deity.
During the transformation process, the deity will grow increasingly close to Lu Zhao, regarding him as its master, just as the Great Emperor did when he was forging weapons.
Once an imperial artifact is forged, a deity will naturally be born.
This black gourd is now going through that process.
"Please turn around, my darling." Lu Zhao immediately activated the black gourd to attack.
Suddenly, a roar erupted from the black gourd, and a terrifying aura spread outwards. A sword light shot out from the gourd's mouth, slashing towards the powerful figure in front.
Faced with such terrifying power, the expressions of the several powerful figures changed drastically in an instant.
Because these people belong to various holy sites, and their knowledge is beyond that of ordinary people.
The moment the black gourd unleashed its power, they understood everything and realized that this was an imperial weapon, something beyond their wildest imagination.
"stop."
The group quickly drank heavily, but it was too late.
A terrifying sword light slashed down, a beam of light stretching tens of thousands of miles, instantly engulfing the group and completely obliterating any trace of them.
The sword light spread out, leaving terrible marks on the ground.
A trail stretching for thousands of miles—it was absolutely terrifying and astonishing.
Moreover, the weapon spirits of this black gourd have only just fused together and have not yet fully merged, so they have not yet unleashed their full power.
Moreover, to unleash its full power, Lu Zhao needs to reach the level of a great power.
Only at this level can the power of the Imperial Weapon begin to be unleashed.
The terrifying sword strike that was just unleashed was powered by the black gourd itself, containing sword energy, not by the power of an imperial weapon.
It is the sword energy that the black gourd mobilized after the fusion of the weapon spirits.
"After the Jade Pool Gathering, another trip into the depths of the Fire Domain might help with the fusion of weapon souls." Lu Zhao put away the black gourd.
After observing for a while, he found that the fusion of the soldier's soul was very slow.
It will take at least several months, or even longer. With the assistance of the Fire Domain, this timeframe will definitely be significantly shortened.
This battle eliminated several powerful figures, making him the strongest enemy he had ever killed.
Without external aids, he would have no way to deal with this kind of person and could only try to activate the Dragon Transformation Tribulation.
Those guys were standing too far away, and I was afraid they would escape from the range of the lightning tribulation the moment it struck.
Failing to kill these people will only put us at a disadvantage.
Now that he has the black gourd in his hand, he has an extra layer of security for the future.
"It's time to go to Yaochi." Lu Zhao transformed into a streak of light, pushing his speed to the limit, and rushed towards the sacred land of Yaochi.
The Jade Pool Pure Land is shrouded in mist, with beautiful scenery, like a fairyland.
Today, masters from all over the world have flocked here, and most of them have already arrived. This is truly a grand event.
As Lu Zhao approached Yaochi, he saw the Holy Maiden of Yaochi come out to greet him.
Clearly, they had made preparations in advance. The token given to Lu Zhao would cause some special fluctuations when it got close to the Yaochi Holy Land.
Upon noticing these unusual fluctuations, Yaochi naturally knew that a distinguished guest had arrived.
Therefore, the Holy Maiden's outing to greet them is considered the highest honor among the younger generation; very few people can receive such a privilege.
