The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 187 - An Unexpected Challenge



Chapter 187 An Unexpected Challenge

This time, Lyu Liang’s name was put into the immortal list the very next day even without the founding father’s participation.

Huangfu Gang, who had originally been number one on the list, now moved down to number two, while Lyu Liang became number one.

Inside the elite housing, Huangfu Gang didn’t seem upset at all. However, his eyes were sharper than before.

“Childe, you haven’t seen Lyu Liang before. How could you be so familiar with him?” Gray Fog expressed his doubts.

“You know, if you faced a person who had as much experience as you, you’d recognize him as long as you knew yourself. Although we have totally different personalities, we still have the same essence! It’s good that he can take part in the immortal test. If I could defeat him, my first step would be perfect!” Huangfu Gang, who seemed to be in a really good mood, directly drank wine instead of tea.

“But, Childe! This dude must be much more powerful than that was in the vision. In case you lose…” Hui Wu stopped right there without saying anything else.

Huangfu Gang glanced at Hui Wu beside him, closed his eyes and said with a smile, “I won’t lose. I can’t lose. Losing is not an option for me! I’ll use conspiracies or tricks. I’ll do whatever is necessary to become a winner in life! Do you still remember what I said? It’s not that I’m unbeatable. However, when I cannot pull myself together to fight back anymore, I will be already dead, with no cultivation left at all!”

“I see! Childe, please be careful when you fight!” Gray Fog said with deep admiration.

“This man gives me different feelings every day. Right now, I suddenly want to have a good fight with him. It’s been a long time since I had this kind of enthusiasm! Don’t worry; it’s not easy for us to encounter each other. Meanwhile, I also want to use him to kill that stupid person before we fight! Hahaha!” Huangfu Gang laughed loudly. Then, he suddenly spoke to Hui Wu in a low voice. “Go get ready. Dear young master is coming. Humble servants like us shouldn’t let him see such a luxurious life!”

There were only four days left before the beginning of the immortal test. Although the final list was not released, according to the rumors going around outside, Lyu Liang had already gotten a place in the Heaven Realm beforehand. His performance in the immortal test wouldn’t change anything!

The reason was obvious: It was all because of the silver vessel! Even a blind man would have known that the vessel was absolutely a powerful piece of civilization remains that topped the cannon by several grades.

Three days after Lyu Liang’s appearance, the Bounded Domain at the entrance of the civilization remains suddenly vanished. That day, several powerful figures from both sides went inside to have a check and discovered that the restriction formations at the entrances of all the caves had vanished and the cannons inside had already turned into ashes.

By thinking about how Lyu Liang had dealt with the cannons in the Nether Big World before, they had learned the tricks easily. Therefore, as a man who’d mastered this amazing Immortal treasure, Lyu Liang was sure to become a hot shot that every force in the Heaven Realm would want to recruit.

During the remaining days, Lyu Liang found a quiet hidden place thanks to the arrangement of the founding father of Sword Character and started to perceive and consolidate the Five Acts of Heaven Soul dedicatedly. At present, the first posture called ‘Soul-Breaking Palm’ had already been consolidated. However, the second posture called ‘Virtual-Spirit Sword Essence’ was really hard to understand. Lyu Liang wasn’t even able to touch the surface, because the sculptures of the Divine Soul were much more complicated than the first posture and he didn’t have the time to think about it thoroughly.

However, if he were able to use the Soul-Breaking Palm well, it would be undoubtedly a trump card. Thus, during the last days, Lyu Liang rejected all visits and invitations and started to perceive the Soul-Breaking Palm whole-heartedly.

One night, when there were only two days left before the immortal test, four shadows of different sizes started flickering continuously along with the candlelight in Liu Jiawen’s room.

“You… You really want to do that? He is in closed-door meditation right now. It’s inappropriate to influence him while he is preparing for the immortal test.” Liu Jiawen frowned tightly while pondering something.

“Well, I say, sister Wen! It hasn’t been that long since we met last. You are starting to be on his side. A little genius like Tangtang has never done anything that is out of line. I’m just testing him a little bit! Look at this. I’ve already taken the holy medicine with me! If you still stop me, I will be suspicious of the relationship between you two!” A little girl in yellow clothes, who was about six or seven years old, was now looking at Liu Jiawen with a wry smile.

“Little sister, I also want to see what power this guy actually has that enables him to crack my Ten Spirit Servers and makes everyone talk about him eagerly. Wood, what do you say?” Another yellow-dressed girl nodded with a smile and glanced at a tall, strong youth who was smiling ingenuously.

“Ah? Well, everything Little Jing says is right!” the youth, who was startled, blurted out without thinking.

“Ah! Three to one! The minority follows the majority. Sister Wen, tell me where Lyu Liang is quickly!” The little girl jumped for joy and held Liu Jiawen’s hand without releasing it.

“Okay, you win! However, let me remind you that no accident should befall him. Do not cross the line. Otherwise, we will get into big trouble!” Liu Jiawen struggled to utter these words as she sighed helplessly. “How could the two naughtier kids come here at such a time?”

“Haha, don’t worry! Brother Wood, let’s go. Your time to play will come later!” The little girl in yellow jumped while running out. The tall, strong youth looked at the girl in yellow next to him. Upon seeing her nod, he ran out as well.

“Well? What’s going on?” Lyu Liang, who was perceiving the Soul-Breaking Palm, suddenly felt a great and weird power of the Divine Soul pressing down. Right afterward, the scene in front of him changed and he ended up in a huge cave!

Lyu Liang broke out in a cold sweat. He was cultivating within the monitoring range of the founding father of Sword Character and this place was extremely concealed. Thus, no one should know about this place except several people who were trustworthy.

He broke in easily, even though he was totally defenseless. He was lucky that the intruders just intended to change the scene at first. If they had attacked him directly, he would have suffered great losses!

Lyu Liang looked sharply instantly. Although he had never been here before, he felt quite familiar with this place, as the aura here was the same with the cave inside the civilization remains, where a lot of paper men appeared!

Indeed, the minute Lyu Liang felt that this place was familiar, paper men in armor started to come into being in front of him successively. At last, the number was fixed to fifteen!

“Spirit servers?” Lyu Liang’s expression became severe instantly. These were not paper men. They were obviously the spirit servers of the Han Family he’d met before in the Heaven Prestige Fortress!

No matter how Lyu Liang looked at them, they always seemed to be the reproduction of those ten spirit servers. Their cultivations were not at the same level. Ten spirit servers were at the Peak Almighty Immortal, two in the middle stage, and three in the early stage.

Lyu Liang had learned his lesson, so he already knew what to do. Although he was unclear about the whole thing, he thought it might be necessary to kill them all that day, as an intense killing intention was emitted from the spirit servers!

The ways the spirit servers attacked were the same as last time. Ten of them focused on close combat, and the other five spirit servers attacked from a long distance. As the number increased by five, they cooperated more closely. Lyu Liang had to take them seriously and use all his strength, even though he’d already come up with fighting strategies.

In the time it took to burn five sticks of incense, Lyu Liang just utilized this somehow wide space to have undifferentiated fights even without his Spirit Armor!

When the time it took to burn five sticks of incense passed, the silver Spirit Armor was put on Lyu Liang without any signs. His cultivation instantly reached the middle-stage Tao Master! Then, with a flash of lightning, the Power of Law from the Field Domain spurted out and five dark suns hit the five long-range spirit servers just in time!

After a breath, two out of the five spirit servers which were just newborns joined the close combat. Lyu Liang repeated what he had done and killed the three spirit servers in the middle-stage Almighty Immortal again. In a minute, the fifteen spirit servers had surrounded him at the same time.

This time, Lyu Liang did not intend to use his own body as a shield. He had done this last time because he had wanted to protect Liu Jiawen. He had been forced to do so and only come up with this idea at that time, so he had used it. However, he had felt really bad afterwards.

Things were different now. He had a new trump card and had also figured out other methods to deal with them earlier. When there was an invisible enemy in the dark, it was better to keep his combat forces.

“Senior White, Black, I’m going to try my new innate power now!” The reason for Lyu Liang’s confidence this time was that the divine beast and wild beast were both at his side. Besides, he had also improved a lot himself!

The fifteen spirit servers encircled him and started an overwhelming attack. Lyu Liang hummed. Then, he suddenly disappeared on the spot!

“Fix the space!” With this shout, the fifteen spirit servers suddenly felt a shiver and kept hacking downward for nearly a breath!

Almost at the same time, an extremely formidable aura fell from the sky. They just saw Lyu Liang appear above their heads as though he was about to throw a dazzling light blob singlehandedly.

Next, a devastating explosion took place. Moments later, when the gas faded away, Lyu Liang’s eyes were revealed. There was a divine look in them. Without any stop, he suddenly slapped the void behind him and a huge golden handprint was created!

“Ah!” The cry of a girl came from the void that had been slapped by the handprint. Then, a man snapped in a low and deep voice, “Prohibition puppet, out!”

As this man shouted, a puppet in human form emerged and warded off any further attacks of the golden handprint in time.

Lyu Liang froze for a moment. The added Soul-Breaking Palm was a lot like a blow from the Supreme Master, which still had great power even after he’d restrained himself a little bit. Now, it was actually blocked by a common puppet, which was definitely surprising.

“Dude, stop. They are on our side!” Suddenly, White spoke and emerged out of Lyu Liang’s body. Then, he told the puppet in the human shape, “Are you the youth from the Fang Family and the girls from the Han Family? You’ve had fun, but you should stop now. You’ve already made quite a stir. It won’t be good if any outsiders are drawn here!”

Lyu Liang always followed White’s advice. Upon hearing this, he quickly dissolved the Soul-Breaking Palm, as he also felt that this was weird in the first place. While staring at the four figures that were gradually emerging from the back of the puppet, he smiled helplessly.

Three of them were girls, and the other one was a boy. Except for Liu Jiawen, who looked guilty, there were two girls of different ages in yellow clothes and a tall, strong brown-faced youth in a blue robe who was smiling at Lyu Liang embarrassedly.

“You are a strong opponent!” Lyu Liang immediately found out that the tall, strong youth was the controller of that puppet. The aura emitted from his body kind of restrained Lyu Liang, which happened for the first time!

Lyu Liang also looked at the two girls in yellow carefully. The older one had clear eyes, black hair, snow-white skin and a pretty face with a kind of noble and elegant vibe all over her body. Right now, she was gazing straight at Lyu Liang with hatred in her eyes.

The little girl had a pink face that looked like a peach. Her smiling eyes and brows seemed childlike but nice. She seemed to be really curious about Lyu Liang as she turned to see the tall youth at the same time. After a while, she was suddenly enlightened and said, “Ah, you look so much like Wood, my brother-in-law!”

Lyu Liang was confused for a moment before he looked at the youth subconsciously. He was rubbing his head and smiling ingenuously, his face shining purple. The older girl in yellow knocked on the head of the little girl but said nothing. She only blushed out of shyness. Speaking of ingenuous people, this youth was really like Lyu Liang on some level!

“Dude, they are all core members of the Remote Antiquity families. The man is Fang Mu from the Fang Family and ranks among the top five in his family history thanks to his cultivation on the puppet. The two girls are from the Han Family. The bigger one is called Han Jing, and the little one is called Han Tangtang. They are geniuses at controlling the spirit servers. Getting along with them will benefit you. This fight is probably just a test.” White’s secretly-transmitted voice settled Lyu Liang down. He was relieved that they hadn’t come to make things difficult for him.

After Liu Jiawen’s introduction, they told Lyu Liang about their identities. It was obvious that they were quite familiar with White. They all bowed before him with a lot of respect, which made Lyu Liang become increasingly curious as to where White used to be.

Later, Han Tangtang said something, causing Lyu Liang to become even more nervous than before. She said, “Dude, the three of us are the judges of this immortal test. If you want to get a good score, you better serve us well!”
