Chapter 511: Chapter 254: Calm Acceptance—To Determine Victory and Defeat, and Life and Death!
In recent days, Lu Sheng has made numerous improvements to the Cultivation Technique on Wu Tianyou.
After all, as Lu Sheng spends more time in this world, his understanding of the Cultivation Technique here deepens.
With the proficiency of a seventh-tier Cosmic Life and level-two Dao Insights, the Cultivation Technique improved by Lu Sheng is far stronger than the first attempt.
In fact, Lu Sheng even attempted to create some martial arts utilizing the special physique of the Three-eyed Creatures and their unique Cultivation Technique.
Originally just a trial, Lu Sheng was unexpectedly successful.
Thus, leveraging the connection between the avatar and Wu Tianyou, Lu Sheng taught these improved Cultivation Techniques and martial arts to Wu Tianyou one by one.
However, Lu Sheng was somewhat surprised that after imparting these Cultivation Techniques and martial arts to Wu Tianyou, this fellow did not immediately start cultivating and using them.
"Is it that... my existence has become a threat?"
Looking at Wu Tianyou’s demeanor, Lu Sheng immediately understood what Wu Tianyou was thinking, but merely smiled indifferently.
"No rush, you’ll use it naturally when needed..."
Lu Sheng spoke gently.
And these words proved prophetic.
After Wu Tianyou accepted the sect mission given to him, he stopped cultivating and left Inference God Dao to execute the sect mission.
And this mission, as Wu Tianyou had anticipated, was exceptionally perilous, beyond the capabilities of an Outer Sect Disciple.
Although with the cultivation of the improved Cultivation Technique by Lu Sheng, Wu Tianyou had stepped into the third tier, he had just entered this realm.
Facing a formidable adversary equivalent to the late third tier in the mission, Wu Tianyou was ultimately severely injured by them.
...
In a secluded valley, Wu Tianyou’s body was constantly moving within the valley. He clutched his chest, yet couldn’t stop the drops of fresh blood from flowing out of his chest.
As the blood flowed, Wu Tianyou’s entire aura began to sag.
And behind Wu Tianyou, a powerful presence was constantly closing in, the oppressive atmosphere enveloping the surroundings.
"Even the trash of Inference God Dao dares to strike this seat, courting death!!"
The deep roar echoed throughout the secluded valley, breaking the tranquility, startling the birds and beasts within.
"Damn it, why is this guy so fast?"
Despair appeared on Wu Tianyou’s pale face as he sensed the enemy, equivalent to late third tier, constantly approaching.
Once caught by them...
The outcome doesn’t need Wu Tianyou’s imagination—certain death.
"Is there really no way out?"
Unwillingness appeared on Wu Tianyou’s face.
"I still carry a blood feud, my family... my friends..."
Wu Tianyou’s eyes gradually became like a third eye, blood-red, and resolutely, a resolute color emerged.
"Acquired Divine Spirit or Evil God... I cannot die!"
Wu Tianyou finally made a decision. He suddenly stopped, blood-red streams wrapping around him like scarlet snakes.
His eyes, at this moment, turned blood-red.
"Little brat, keep running, why stop?"
As Wu Tianyou stopped, a towering figure quickly emerged from behind. With overwhelming momentum, it emanated from the person.
He looked at Wu Tianyou with eyes full of amusement, like a hunter seeing prey with nowhere to run.
"Inference God Dao sent someone like you to deal with me, truly think I’m easy to bully?"
"Today... I’ll kill this henchman of Inference God Dao!"
The man sneered, his giant hand suddenly slammed towards Wu Tianyou, the terrifying force stirring up gusts.
At that moment, Wu Tianyou’s thoughts shifted slightly, establishing contact with Lu Sheng.
"Senior, help me!!"
Wu Tianyou roared, pouring all his cultivation into the third eye.
In an instant, the blood-red streams surged outward, forming a shield to forcibly block the other’s attack.
"You should have done this earlier!"
A faint voice sounded. Lu Sheng’s phantom quietly appeared, looking at the late third-tier Three-eyed Creature with endless calm in his eyes.
"Perish!"
As this word left Lu Sheng’s mouth, the surrounding blood-red streams instantly transformed into a blood-colored sword, merely drawing a scarlet arc, piercing the Three-eyed Creature’s brow.
The massive body suddenly toppled backward.
After accomplishing this, Lu Sheng’s figure slowly dissipated, leaving Wu Tianyou alone standing beside the corpse, breathing deeply.
Wu Tianyou leaned against a big tree, recovering his strength, but his attention was focused on his third eye.
"The connection... is getting deeper, isn’t it?"
Wu Tianyou softly murmured, his eyes gradually becoming vacant.
Through the third eye, Wu Tianyou unexpectedly discovered that Lu Sheng’s figure in his vision was becoming increasingly clear.
This also signified that his connection with Lu Sheng was growing more intimate.
"Time... it seems there’s not much left!"
Wu Tianyou softly said.
He knew very well that once his connection with Lu Sheng reached a certain level, it might be time for this divine spirit to take everything from him.
Thinking of this, Wu Tianyou could not help but close his eyes. However, as soon as his eyes closed, past blood feuds replayed relentlessly in his mind.
"Dad... Mom... Sister..."
Wu Tianyou clenched his fist at this moment. Moments later, he reopened his eyes.
A trace of determination silently emerged in him at this moment!
"I can’t continue like this, even if it means drawing that divine spirit here, my life... is lived for revenge!"
"Even if this world were to be destroyed... what does it have to do with me?"
Wu Tianyou spoke calmly, with each word that fell, his entire aura changed dramatically.
He sat in a meditative position, wisps of blood-colored airflow continuously surged into his body, and the third eye at his brow shone with a crimson brilliance.
He began to accept everything from Lu Sheng, started embracing the Cultivation Technique and martial arts taught to him by Lu Sheng...
He... made a decision!
...
A month later, when Wu Tianyou stepped into the Inference God Dao again, his entire being had undergone an earth-shattering transformation in aura.
This transformation was one at the level of life’s essence.
Fourth Tier!
After experiencing a life-and-death crisis, Wu Tianyou calmly accepted Lu Sheng’s gift.
In just a month’s time, relying on the improved Cultivation Technique from Lu Sheng, he successfully reached the fourth tier.
However, when Wu Tianyou entered the sect area of Inference God Dao, he could clearly feel that the looks from the surrounding Outer Sect Disciples, and even Inner Sect Disciples, towards him had changed slightly.
Wu Tianyou curled the corner of his mouth into a smile, slowly looking towards the deepest part of Inference God Dao.
There... stood a lonely arena.
This arena was an extraordinarily special stage in Inference God Dao. Standing on this stage, any Outer Sect Disciple, or even Inner Sect Disciple, could challenge the sect’s Core Disciple.
Upon success, one could step over that Core Disciple and complete a transformation of identity.
"I don’t have much time left... so I might as well end it early!"
"What does this world have to do with me?"
Wu Tianyou’s eyes fixed on that lone arena, softly saying as he took a step forward towards it.
Soon, Wu Tianyou stood on the arena, drawing countless Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and even some elder-level figures of Inference God Dao.
"Outer Sect Disciple Wu Tianyou, today challenges Core Disciple Feng Xiu at the Inference God Arena, seeking the sect’s approval!!"
Wu Tianyou stood on the arena, shouting loudly.
In an instant, the clouds above the arena churned, as if thunderclouds were gathering within, and with lightning jumping around, an oppressive aura descended suddenly.
"Approved!"
A deep voice echoed, like a decree, resonating throughout the entire Inference God Dao.
In a luxurious courtyard within Inference God Dao, the Core Disciple named Feng Xiu’s face instantly turned gloomy upon hearing this voice.
"Wu Tianyou... is he that ant from before?"
"He dares... to jump in front of me again!"
Feng Xiu spoke faintly, yet his voice was imbued with an undisguised killing intent that erupted instantly.
The next moment, Feng Xiu’s figure suddenly appeared on the arena, without any unnecessary words, directly attacking Wu Tianyou.
From his third eye, a special fluctuation burst forth, flames spreading wildly, turning the entire arena into a sea of fire.
"A lowly scum... dares to challenge me!"
"A mere Outer Sect Disciple, who gave you the courage!"
Feng Xiu roared, and the sea of fire burned ever fiercer with his rage, causing the surrounding space to distort due to the scorching heat.
However, Wu Tianyou seemed oblivious to this intense heat, merely revealing a fierce grin.
"Today, we decide the outcome... and determine life and death!"
