Young Noble Be Monster Slaying-Chapter 870: Thunder and Lightning

"Phew..."

The moment he was sealed inside the cocoon, Chu Liang didn't panic. Instead, he let out a long, steady breath.

From the moment he realized the air was poisoned, he had stopped breathing entirely. Holding his breath, he had focused on circulating his qi to steadily build up his cultivation energy.

He was in far better shape than the others, but it was not just because he was at the seventh realm. It was also because he had two qi-circulation channels, two golden cores, mastery over the five elements, and two transcendent forms. Compared to others at the same level, his foundational qi regenerated at an exceptionally fast rate.

While this advantage might not have been obvious in terms of combat strength, in a situation like this, the benefits of rapid qi recovery became immediately clear.

Chu Liang channeled part of his cultivation to resist the corrosion of the purple venom dripping around him, all while searching for a way to break free. Thanks to his powerful physique and the protection of the Rock Devil Hide, he was not in immediate danger. However, staying inside the cocoon was not a long-term solution. He might be able to endure it, but he was worried the others would not.

He first tried using his most powerful sword qi, powered by the unity of three sword Daos, but even when it struck the surface of the white cocoon, it failed to leave a mark on the resilient silk threads. Even Immortal Yuan Lu, an eighth-realm cultivator, had worked at it for quite a while before breaking through the cocoon. How could Chu Liang, still in the seventh realm, possibly succeed?

Seeing that even his sword qi, powered by the unity of three sword Daos was ineffective, he realized he didn't have a better method at the moment.

As various divine techniques flickered through his mind, he suddenly remembered an idea he had thought of earlier.

Previously, he had instructed the Dao-Comprehending Puppet to study both the Great Dao of the Ultimate Yin and the Great Dao of the Ultimate Yang, curious whether the two might form a unique synergy. The puppet had only recently completed its comprehension, and he had not yet had the chance to test the result.

Could combining these two Daos produce a miraculous effect?

Chu Liang likely wasn't the first to comprehend three sword Daos. There were likely others who had probably done the same. But he was likely the first in all of history to simultaneously grasp both the Great Dao of Ultimate Yin and the Great Dao of Ultimate Yang.

He pressed two fingers together, instantly channeling the power of Ultimate Yang.

This strange and deadly poison was of yin nature, and the power of Ultimate Yang at his fingertips did have a purging effect. However, when it touched the white cocoon, he still couldn't break it open. Perhaps it was because his cultivation wasn't strong enough.

He could clearly sense that the cocoon feared the power of Ultimate Yang, but in the face of overwhelming strength, a slight restraint made little difference.

Chu Liang didn't lose heart. Instead, he shifted the energy at his fingertips to Ultimate Yin.

The cocoon that had just been struck by Ultimate Yang was suddenly enveloped in Ultimate Yin. In an instant, it froze and changed color.

It seems to be working?

Chu Liang switched the spiritual energy at his fingertips back to Ultimate Yang. Before he could even touch it, the frozen cocoon began to tremble. It seemed that if he got any closer, it would melt.

Sizzle!

Unable to withstand Chu Liang's rapid alternation between yin and yang, the outer layer of the cocoon finally ruptured.

Creak!

Sensing the mystical effect within, Chu Liang immediately sped up the alternation, switching from Ultimate Yin to Ultimate Yang, then back again, again and again...

In the span of a single breath, the cycle repeated several times.

Craaaaack!

The spiritual energy at his fingertips changed rapidly, alternating between yin and yang in an instant. The sudden shift unleashed a devastating surge, and he sliced open the cocoon with a single finger.

Chu Liang realized he had likely just created a divine technique that had never existed before. After a brief moment of thought, he gave it a name: Yin-Yang Alteration.

As Chu Liang broke free, he saw that little Tuntun had already escaped from her cocoon and was squatting nearby, staring at him with her big blinking eyes. From the look of it, if he hadn't come out soon, she was about to rush in and save him.

Chu Liang gave Tuntun a pat on the head, then turned his gaze forward.

No wonder Moth hadn't approached her this whole time.

At the far end of the corridor, Moth was straddling Immortal Yuan Lu, hammering down heavy punches one after another.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Baaaaaaam!

Immortal Yuan Lu seemed to be shrouded in thousands of devilish shadows. With every punch, a shadow would shatter and scatter, but thanks to their support, he managed to endure the brutal onslaught wave after wave.

One had to admit that the Great Dao of Enduring Ten Thousand Tribulations and Not Dying might not excel in combat, but when it came to taking a beating, it definitely had its strengths.

Even while being pummeled, Immortal Yuan Lu turned to glance at Chu Liang with his eye that was not completely covered in blood. In it, Chu Liang saw a burning desire for money.

His understanding of the saying "diabolical sect members only care about money" had just been confirmed once again.

...

Using his Yin-Yang Alteration, Chu Liang swiftly freed the people behind him. Just as he was about to use the same method to rescue the warrior monk Qu Hu, Moth finally sensed that something was wrong.

Infuriated by Immortal Yuan Lu's relentless entanglement, he was on the verge of delivering a killing blow. However, he suddenly noticed Chu Liang and the others breaking free. That forced him to calm down.

He placed a palm atop Immortal Yuan Lu's head and sealed him in a white cocoon once more.

Shrrrk.

Then he turned to Chu Liang, his eyes already gleaming with murderous intent, and said, "None of you had to die. All you had to do was hand over the Heaven-Devouring Bug."

Chu Liang met his gaze and shook his head. "Even if we gave you the Heaven-Devouring Bug, there's no way you'd be able to take her out of here."

"Who said I was taking it away?" Moth snarled.

In the next instant, he appeared in front of Tuntun and raised his right hand high up!

Seeing danger, Chu Liang activated Dimension Compression. He rushed forward and pulled Tuntun behind him.

Bang!

Chu Liang held Tuntun tightly, but Moth's palm slammed into his back, sending him flying. Golden divine blood splattered across the ground as he tumbled away.

"Guh..." Chu Liang turned back and asked, "You're trying to kill her?"

"The current Heaven-Devouring Bug must die before a new one can emerge," Moth growled, madness flickering in his eyes. Driven into a frenzy by their repeated interference, he roared,

"This bug has been ruined by your care and has been stripped of its instinct to devour and fight. At this point, only a new one can carry our God's essence!"

"Heh." Chu Liang suddenly chuckled.

So everything he had done for Tuntun had been right all along. She wasn't the root of future chaos. In fact, as long as she lived, even if the Demon God's essence returned, it wouldn't turn evil.

"You're the only human who knows this truth. But soon, no one will know it anymore," Moth said, stepping forward again.

He was slightly surprised that this seventh realm human had survived a blow from him. Chu Liang's corporeal body was so tough that it nearly matched some of the weaker eighth realm cultivators.

But that was all. To him, the only difference was whether they died in one strike or two.

Moth raised his hand high, ready to end both Chu Liang and Tuntun's lives and complete his mission.

It was true that even if he seized the Heaven-Devouring Bug, he wouldn't be able to escape, as this place would surely be surrounded by powerful seventh-realm and eighth-realm human cultivators. But if he could kill the bug here, that would be enough.

Whoosh!

His palm smashed down.

Nevertheless, Chu Liang didn't sit and wait for death. Instead, he spread his arms wide, revealing a large orb nestled against his chest.

The transparent orb shimmered with a deep azure divine light. As Chu Liang's blood splashed across its surface, waves of radiant energy rippled outward.

Every trace of power within it was equal to thousands of divine lightning bolts.

This was an artifact capable of serving as the source of the Great Dao of Divine Clouds. Even two Human-Faced Xiao, who had no affinity with it whatsoever, had managed to comprehend the Great Dao of Divine Clouds after meditating on the Dragon God's Orb for years. When they activated the Dragon God's Orb, they could unleash divine lightning with the power of an eighth-realm being.

Now that the Dragon God's orb was in Chu Liang's hands, who knew what he was capable of doing with it. His compatibility with the Dragon God's Orb was flawless.

Streakkkkkkk!

The divine light within the Dragon God's Orb surged forth all at once, blasting toward Moth in an instant.

An eighth-realm Eminent One, given enough distance and time to prepare, would never be hit by such an attack. But Moth had been fighting for a long time, and by this point in the battle, he never expected something like this.

He might have expected that a powerful master of Heavenly Origin would descend from the heavens, but he never expected that this strike would come from Chu Liang himself! freewёbnoνel.com

Boom!

Thousands of divine lightning bolts converged into a single blast. No matter how powerful Moth was, he couldn't withstand the remnant power of the ninth-realm Dragon God. He was sent flying a hundred zhang and crashed violently into the corridor wall!

The dazzling divine light radiated intense heat. Everyone nearby was struck dumb with awe and forced to shut their eyes. Even with their eyes closed, they were inwardly shaken by Chu Liang's might. The divine thunder made their hair stand on end, and all traces of malevolent spiritual energy in the air were instantly cleansed.

The Dragon God Mark on Chu Liang's forehead pulsed wildly with light. In that moment, it felt as though he had become the Dragon God himself! A primordial dragon chant echoed through the Celestial Northern Prison.

"Hrooohhhhhhhhhhh!"
