Chapter 257: It’s Right Here!
Lu Qingyang’s words were full of temptation.
But the temptation of the Heavenly Dao Essence was simply too great. After hesitating for a moment, the will in the sky finally agreed.
“Good! I am willing to follow you, so long as your words are true!”
“From now on, I shall share this realm with you!”
“Good!”
“In that case, follow my figure.”
Lu Qingyang’s mind stirred, and a streak of escape light shot into the sky.
“BOOM!”
An instant later.
The Heavenly Dao will of the Prison Dragon Realm locked tightly onto Lu Qingyang.
As if terrified of losing track of his existence.
And Lu Qingyang’s figure was like a long rainbow piercing the sun, speeding toward the horizon.
He did know a good place, one where he could carry out his plan.
…
The Prison Dragon Realm, a high altitude beyond the Realm Barrier.
“BOOM!”
Streaks of incomparably thick purple lightning roared like Flood Dragons, falling without end.
These purple bolts struck the Shattered-Star Meteorites beyond the Realm Barrier, instantly blasting out one charred black crater after another.
A dense aura of death seeped out from within, dyeing the surrounding soil purple.
Lu Qingyang stood in the void, gazing at those purple-black craters, and could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
This place was a perilous zone beyond the realm that he had discovered by chance.
Originally, it was because numerous Shattered-Star Meteorites passed through here, causing spiritual mechanisms to conflict too severely, which in turn triggered the Extraterritorial Thunder.
“Is there Heavenly Dao Essence here?”
The will of the Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao swept across this region but found no trace of Heavenly Dao Essence.
So it asked Lu Qingyang.
Hearing this, Lu Qingyang smiled. “There is indeed Heavenly Dao Essence here, but how could a supreme treasure like that appear so casually?”
“Just wait.”
Before the words had fully left his mouth, Lu Qingyang’s figure stood in the air, as if searching for something.
“Hm?”
The Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao seemed to freeze for a moment.
Not understanding what Lu Qingyang meant.
But just as it was puzzled, it saw Lu Qingyang’s body suddenly shoot upward.
His entire being, like a streak of flowing light, rushed toward a Realm-Crossing Meteorite in the distance.
And those incomparably thick purple bolts of lightning simultaneously struck that meteorite!
“Boom!”
“BOOM!”
Accompanied by one thunderous explosion after another, the purple-black lightning burst apart upon that Realm-Crossing Meteorite.
At the same time, an unusual Heavenly Dao aura suddenly exposed itself in the starry sky.
…
“This is?”
Above the heavens, that aged will manifested shock.
“This is Heavenly Dao Essence!”
“How could that possibly be!”
“Could it be that these Heavenly Dao Essences were brought here by meteorites from the outside world!”
“Could it be that a Heavenly Dao World is decaying in some distant place?”
The Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao seemed unable to believe the current situation.
After all, Heavenly Dao Essence could be called a treasure of heaven and earth. Every wisp was priceless.
Only the Heavenly Dao of a true natural world could split off such a thing.
“There really is Heavenly Dao Essence here.”
Lu Qingyang’s body floated in the void, the Heavenly Dao Essence he had just “captured” held in his hand, his gaze clear.
As if this wisp of Heavenly Dao Essence truly had been caught by him from the extraterritorial meteorite.
“Rumble!”
And the Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao seemed unable to endure the temptation of this wisp of Heavenly Dao Essence any longer.
It immediately controlled the power of the Heavenly Dao, violently drawing the Heavenly Dao Essence in Lu Qingyang’s hand toward itself!
“Hmph!”
Lu Qingyang’s expression shifted slightly.
The moment this Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao discovered Heavenly Dao Essence, it threw all caution to the wind.
If not for his powerful physique, that single pull just now would have drained away more than half his body, even if it did not kill him!
“Damn it!”
Lu Qingyang’s expression was ugly.
In his heart, he had already sentenced this Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao to death!
Rest assured, as happily as you absorb it now!
The day will come when you have to give it all back!
Lu Qingyang stared at this scene with an indifferent expression.
That wisp of Heavenly Dao Essence just now was naturally not brought by any extraterritorial meteorite.
It was a wisp he had secretly released from his storage bag while using the Extraterritorial Thunder to strike. His goal was to make this Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao believe that Heavenly Dao Essence existed in this place.
…
“Very well. Now that I have told you there is Heavenly Dao Essence here.”
“Then you should also fulfill your promise. Within the Prison Dragon Realm, I am to be invincible.”
Lu Qingyang spoke in a deep voice.
If one was going to put on a show, one had to do it in full.
Now that the bait had been laid, he naturally had to pull it step by step into the trap.
But what Lu Qingyang had not expected was that after hearing these words, the will of the Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao clearly hesitated for a moment.
It was unclear whether it was observing Lu Qingyang for signs of lying.
Or whether it wanted to go back on its word.
And after a long while, the Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao finally spoke.
“Correct!”
“Since this place truly can yield Heavenly Dao Essence, then of course I will fulfill my promise.”
“However…”
The voice of the Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao suddenly paused.
“However what?”
Lu Qingyang’s gaze flickered as he waited for the other party’s next words.
And the tone of the Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao had also softened considerably. “However, though I have agreed to protect you, you must not harm the heaven and earth within the realm.”
“Also… if I cannot obtain enough Heaven and Earth Essence here to ascend dimensions, then I will surely destroy you!”
The moment the words fell, a vast and terrifying killing intent descended around Lu Qingyang.
Sensing that pressure, far surpassing that of the True Immortal Ao Yi, Lu Qingyang’s face turned ashen.
This one looks like it wants to dig a pit for me!
Lu Qingyang’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He thought to himself.
He had long expected the other party would not agree so easily to protect him.
What it had just said was clearly an intention to renege.
If it could not obtain enough Heavenly Dao Essence to ascend dimensions, it would destroy him.
But even if it truly obtained Heavenly Dao Essence capable of ascending dimensions, Lu Qingyang believed that the Heavenly Dao of a Great Thousand World would not tolerate an individual running rampant within its world.
What awaited Lu Qingyang then would likely still be rolling thunder punishment!
Of course, Lu Qingyang had never come for the protection of this Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao in the first place.
Right now, all he needed was for this Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao to believe there was Heavenly Dao Essence here.
So long as the other party believed it, half his plan had succeeded.
As for the other half, he was about to proceed with it next.
“Hmph, I hope you can smoothly find what you need. Farewell.”
Lu Qingyang gave a cold snort, then turned and left.
Watching Lu Qingyang gradually disappear at the end of its vision, the will of the Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao was filled with gravity.
Because it vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Yet for a moment, it could not say exactly what was wrong.
But since the other party had already left, there was no need to worry.
Right now, Heavenly Dao Essence was the most important thing to it!
I just wonder where the Heavenly Dao Essence in this place all comes from.
And judging from the aura just now, the two wisps of Heavenly Dao Essence that human took out were both from different Middling Thousand World’s Heavenly Dao.
It seems there really might be a world’s Heavenly Dao decaying in some distant place.
The Prison Dragon Heavenly Dao secretly speculated.
And it had not connected those two wisps of Heavenly Dao Essence with different auras to Lu Qingyang at all.
After all, from ancient times to the present, no one had ever been able to hunt Heavenly Dao Essence and still retreat unscathed…
