The monolith in the royal tomb was restored at an astonishing speed. And along with the restoration of the monolith, the huge array that Yunkongjun had set up for himself also resumed its operation.
A tremendous force that could pull all living things in the world, along the orbit of space and even time, converged on the monolith. At this moment, all the creatures in the vast land of the Cloud Country were summoned by the monolith, releasing an elusive and mysterious force to resist the source of all the threats.
"Yunkongjun, the root cause of your resurrection is King Yunyang's lack of virtue. Otherwise, this monolith, which is maintained by the fate of the country, would not have revealed a flaw in your resurrection. A king's lack of virtue is indeed the most serious evil act that damages the fate of the country. King Yunyang ordered his men to slaughter the villagers of his country, which is an unforgivable crime. Even a hundred deaths would not be enough to atone for it. Therefore, no matter how he compensates later on, the scar on the monolith is irreparable. But conversely, the virtue of a king can make the fate of the country unprecedentedly strong, and any crack can be repaired... Indeed, although King Yunyang is wise, he has no virtue. However, King Yunyang's daughter, Princess Yunyue, has the most rare virtue in the royal family: sacrifice and dedication. She is willing to use her own death to make up for her father's sin, willing to use her own sacrifice to help the people of the Cloud Country. Although her wish is immature, it is also pure. Such a virtue is worthy of being called a sage. So, when I discovered that Princess Yunyue possessed such a rare aptitude, I thought of a simple solution. As long as the immoral Emperor abdicates and abdicates his throne, all the problems will be solved, won't they? "
"Of course, the abdication ceremony involves too many things. It is impossible to follow the normal procedure in a short period of time. However, there is also a shortcut: when the life and death of the country is at stake, only the king, the successor, and a highly respected witness are needed to carry out the simplest abdication ceremony, which is what you just saw. That sachet is my modified mustard seed bag, which contains the Imperial Jade Seal of the Cloud Country. And when the Imperial Jade Seal falls into the hands of Yunyue, the virtue of the king will be bestowed to the common people, and the monolith will be restored to its original state. Even the only hidden danger, the poison in Yunyue's body, was personally removed by you, so that the whole thing is flawless. Isn't it very interesting? "
Wang Lu's complacent smile completely enraged Yunkongjun.
"Boy, how dare you, how dare you play this kind of trick in front of me!"
The voice in the royal tomb was sometimes like ten thousand bolts of thunder, shaking one's heart and soul, and sometimes it was like rolling waves, gentle yet firm. Amidst the intense changes between hardness and softness, speed and slowness, it inevitably became distorted and illusory.
Wang Lu stubbornly maintained his Non-Phase Sword Defense. Regardless of the thousands of changes in the outside world, he firmly guarded the area within a radius of ten meters. And from that pure sword light, if someone was observant, it would not be difficult to see that he had already used his innate vitality.
However, the biggest reason why Yunkongjun was able to maintain the three-zhang sword defense was because of his rapid weakening. The moment the monolith repaired itself, his strength had fallen from the peak to the lowest point. He was even weaker than when he was Resuscitated two days ago. Moreover, this weakness was still getting worse. Although his roar did not diminish, he no longer had the power to control life and death. Otherwise, if Wang Lu could not even protect himself, how could he protect the two mortals behind him?
After a moment of stalemate, the situation finally gradually slid to one side. Wang Lu's sword defense became more and more stable, while Yunkongjun's roar became more and more angry.
"Boy, I will let you die a miserable death! You will forever wail for your stupidity under the humiliation of ten million strange insects! "
"I will let you receive new punishment every day, endlessly repeating the painful cycle of life and death! I will cut every person you cherish into pieces in front of you, grind their bones and scatter their ashes! "
"I curse you! I curse you to be ragged, to have your hair fall off, to sweat like pus, to be surrounded by a stench, and to be in a trance! "
Yunkongjun's every roar, every curse, was not only a strong sweeping sound wave, but also a profound and profound spell, which attacked Wang Lu from all directions. And once Wang Lu made the slightest mistake, his Non-Phase Sword Defense would collapse, and he himself would die under Yunkongjun's crazy counterattack.
With the means of a peak Yuanying Stage cultivator, not only the intensity of this attack was astonishing, it was also pervasive, strange, and difficult to guard against. Yuanying Stage cultivator's brilliant use of power was far above that of Xudan Stage cultivator. It stood to reason that there was no Xudan Stage cultivator in this world who could save their life under Yunkongjun's desperate counterattack.
However, Yunkongjun encountered Wang Lu, the defensive power that no Xudan Stage cultivator in this world could compete with Wang Lu. Although Wang Lu's Non-Phase Sword Art had only reached the forty-fifth layer, which was far away from his Master's supreme realm of more than one hundred layers, under Yunkongjun's hundreds of changes, Wang Lu was able to withstand all of Yunkongjun's attacks by remaining unchanged.
And for Wang Lu, this was a rare opportunity. Attacked by Yunkongjun's various means, his Non-Phase Sword Qi, Non-Phase Sword Bone … everything in the Non-Phase Method system was subjected to an unprecedented severe test. How could a peak Yuanying Stage cultivator be ordinary? Even if his power was greatly weakened and suppressed, the means that the other side could use were still far above him.
Every roar, every curse contained a Yuanying Stage cultivator's understanding of the way of spells and even the nature of the world. The use of power was exquisite and peerless, and the efficiency was far higher than that of a small Xudan Stage cultivator like him. What was more frightening was that, every attack of the other side seemed to come from a place that he could not predict, that he could not imagine. Sometimes, even when he was facing a disaster, he was still in a daze!
However, it was also at this time that his one year of bitter training broke out with amazing results. Sometimes by relying on his powerful deduction ability to speculate, sometimes by relying on the keen intuition provided by his Non-Phase Immortal Heart, and sometimes by relying on the law of non-phase engraved in his Jade Mansion and Sword Bone … Wang Lu solved the difficult problem that Yunkongjun gave him at an astonishing speed. And many of the tricks that were difficult to understand during his bitter training, at this time, one by one, they were integrated, and a brand new door opened up in front of Wang Lu.
Along with the rapid consumption of his magical power and the burning of his innate vitality, Wang Lu only felt that his strength was rising steadily. Because with the same amount of power, he was able to exert a higher efficiency. The confrontation with Yunkongjun only lasted for a moment, but it was as if he had experienced a long period of closed-door training, and the harvest was quite abundant!
On the other side, Yunkongjun found it increasingly difficult to continue. He had thousands of means, but he could not break Wang Lu's Non-Phase Sword Defense, could not kill Princess Yunyue who was sitting on the soft bed, and could not overturn the suppression monolith above his head! Under this situation, he gradually realized that he had lost the opportunity to make a comeback.
However, he still did not want to give up. He was an arrow at the end of its flight, but so was his opponent. Although Wang Lu's sublimation was clearly visible, his magical power consumption was also clearly visible. He was a Xudan Stage cultivator and not a King Pill cultivator, so his magical power regeneration speed was not fast. Even if he was a King Pill cultivator, it was impossible for him to withstand the magical power consumption of his Non-Phase Sword Defense. As long as he persisted for a while, his magical power would be exhausted.
Even without waiting for Wang Lu's magical power to be exhausted, because the weaker his magical power was, the more difficult it would be to support his Non-Phase Sword Defense, and the easier it would be for him to make mistakes. Wang Lu was able to support himself in front of a peak Yuanying Stage cultivator, relying on his perfect defense. As long as he revealed a flaw, the seemingly perfect Non-Phase Sword Defense would immediately collapse.
However, when Yunkongjun clearly felt that Wang Lu's magical power was about to be exhausted before him, he suddenly saw Wang Lu sigh, put his left hand into his waist, took out a sparkling blue porcelain bottle, popped the cork with his thumb, and then put the bottle into his mouth.
The next moment, Wang Lu's magical power was restored to its peak level. Wang Lu looked shocked, and the flaw in his Non-Phase Sword Defense disappeared without a trace!
"You!"
At this moment, Yunkongjun even temporarily stopped his attack and looked at Wang Lu in disbelief. Wang Lu curled his lips. "Haven't you ever seen someone take medicine?"
Hah, take medicine … Yes, he was an elite disciple from a prestigious sect, how could he not have elixirs? Although the elixirs that could instantly restore one's magical power were precious, he certainly had them!
Thinking of this, Yunkongjun instantly lost all desire to continue resisting. Trying to compete with a cultivator who was filled with miraculous pills in terms of patience? What kind of stupid person could come up with such an idea?
After a long silence, Yunkongjun opened his mouth again, but this time, his voice was much softer.
"Very good, it's really an eye-opener."
In the royal tomb, Yunkongjun's voice drifted like a ghost for a long time.
"You did use your little trick to successfully trick me once. Such an experience, even in my lifetime, is unprecedented. It is indeed an eye-opener."
Wang Lu still persisted in his Non-Phase Sword Defense and nodded. "Thank you for your compliment. Were it not for my unintentional scheme, senior would've cleaned me up the first time we met. "
"Humph, you don't have to use this seemingly modest, but actually arrogant posture to show off your victory." Yunkongjun coldly smiled. "Do you think this is the end of it?"
Wang Lu said, "Of course not, there are still two tails left. One is that dwarf named Yunchang, which I need to spend some time on. The other one, are you referring to the Ten Thousand Poison Water in my chest?"
Yunkongjun smiled even more proudly. "I know that Yunchang is not your opponent. In order to recover as soon as possible, I have already sucked all of his vitality. And after seeing your sword defense, I don't think that the Ten Thousand Poison Water could do anything to you. But do you think you're the only one who knows how to hold back? "
Wang Lu gradually had a bad premonition. Yunkongjun was right, he was not the only one in the world who was smart. Along the way, he fought the strong with the weak, and his biggest chance of winning lay in his unintentional scheme. However, was Yunkongjun really unprepared from the beginning to the end?
For a thousand-year-old demon, this kind of conjecture was too naive.
Just as he was thinking about this, suddenly, a cough came from behind him. A little bit of blood passed over Wang Lu's shoulder and fell to the ground in front of him.
Without looking back, Wang Lu had already guessed that there was a problem with Princess Yunyue. Yunkongjun really did hold back.
Listening to the increasingly rapid sound of coughing blood behind him, Wang Lu could not help but close his eyes, feeling a sense of heroism that came from the nine peaks of the mountain.
Some things, perhaps, could not be solved satisfactorily.
But!
Wang Lu opened his eyes and put his right hand into his bosom. There, there was a bottle of boiling blood.
