Chapter 12: The Wound of the Earth

  "Ding" "Ding" "Ding", the white light of the dust-wiping sword and the blade's edge collided, producing a metallic crashing sound. The two magical tools conjured by their magical powers shattered simultaneously.

  The wind was blown by the golden light and white awns, and with a blink of an eye, he felt that the great battle between the two was like watching a movie. It seemed that in just a moment, it had been a long time, and when he opened his eyes again, the two people in the air had already decided the outcome. The golden sword of Xiong Wan Dao was nowhere to be seen, and the Taoist robe of the person opposite him was tattered and stained with blood. Xiong Wan Dao lay in a huge pit, while the other person stood holding a feather duster towards him.

  "Hmph, today I'll kill you, the master of the Wan Dao Gate, and completely annihilate the Wan Dao Gate..." With that, this person prepared to kill Jin Wan Dao.

  Suddenly, Lu Yufeng noticed a flash of red light in Jin Wantao's eyes, full of fierce and sinister color.

  "Even if I'm dead, I'll still have a pillow to lean on... Hahaha!" As he said that, Jin Wandao's body puffed up.

  "Suicide!" another person shouted in terror, but it was too late to escape. Jin Wandao was not far behind him.

  A deafening crash... The ground sank several meters in a radius of hundreds of miles, turning into a wasteland. Within this range, there was not a single living thing left.

  Lü Yu Feng was shocked, because he was also within the self-destruct range, but he didn't receive any damage. The explosion's aftermath passed through his body. Lü Yu Feng was puzzled, when suddenly the scene in front of him flashed again and he arrived at another place. The situation was similar to before, with people fighting, only this time the scene was even more grandiose and shocking for Lü Yu Feng.

  "Brothers, kill them! How dare they come to rob our crystal veins...!" someone from one of the two groups of people piled up here shouted.

  "Kill, brothers, kill them and the crystal vein is ours, kill..." The two sides immediately clashed.

  The people on both sides seemed to be tireless, killing each other until they were exhausted, and then self-destructing. At one point, countless people died or were injured, and even some who wouldn't normally die also self-destructed... The earth was battered down several meters in this battle, full of craters and pits, and the surrounding environment was completely destroyed, leaving Lu Yu Feng shocked and amazed.

  The war ended, and the scene flickered again. The scene in front of Lu Yu Feng was different once more...

  What surprised Lu Yu Feng was that, regardless of whether they had high or low cultivation, none of them could detect him. In their eyes, it seemed like there was only slaughter, and he was just a spectator. Some people even passed through his body... This situation made Lu Yu Feng feel extremely shocked and terrified, unsure of the reason why he appeared in this state.

  Lü Yu didn't know how many scenes he had been through, nor did he know how much time had passed. It seemed like a day, it seemed like a year, and yet it seemed like ten years...

  Although Lu Yu Feng didn't know how long this state would last, he wasn't anxious anymore. After all, he couldn't escape this state anyway, so he might as well focus on watching the battles. These fights had actually improved Lu Yu Feng's eyesight and combat skills significantly. Having never seen a fairy fight before, Lu Yu Feng now possessed battle experience that few others could match, for he had witnessed every kind of fight imaginable.

  Lü Yu Feng suddenly had an epiphany, realizing that every scene he experienced caused massive destruction to nature and the earth, with some even sinking tens of meters...

  Lu Yu Feng closed his eyes, and a wave of sourness mixed with resentment swept over him again. This familiar feeling was almost forgotten by Lu Yu Feng.

  Lu Yu Feng opened his eyes, and the sun was still in the same place as before those scenes.

  "Was it just a moment of time?" Lu Yufeng himself felt the fear, he didn't even know how many years he had been in that state, and reality was just a moment.

  "What kind of ability is this?" Lu Yufeng's back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

  "It's too terrifying, I don't know what kind of cultivation it takes to create such a situation." The current Lu Yufeng is no longer the kind of ignorant rookie who doesn't understand anything. Among the cultivators that Lu Yufeng knows, not one person has this ability, and he hasn't even heard of it!

  Looking up at the slowly rising sun, it's still so gentle. Lu Yufeng's mind suddenly burst!

  "It's true!" Mu Feng suddenly stood up!

  "Yes, it's love! The sunshine has feelings for the earth!" Mu Feng suddenly understood everything.

  "It is a feeling, the sympathy of the sun for the earth, the scenes that have been experienced are not illusions, but the records of the ancestors' ravages on this land, those fragments are the silent accusations of the earth against the ancestors, and those fragments were taken from that great war between schools thousands of years ago."

  Lu Yu Feng's impact on the ninth layer will naturally make him realize and break a certain rule between heaven and earth. Since Lu Yu Feng had once realized the natural law when he broke through the seventh layer, the earth used this thread of natural law to let Lu Yu Feng feel his hidden grievances for thousands of years. Because no one has been able to impact the ninth layer in a thousand years, the earth was unable to transmit these fragments to others. Today, it finally made Lu Yu Feng aware of his grievances.

  Lü Yu Feng felt a sense of helplessness in it. The earth bears all things, provides for the rest and growth of all things, and provides resources for people to live and cultivate. All things in the world can be said to be the children of the earth. However, people have never stopped ravaging and destroying the earth... The helplessness in it also made Lü Yu Feng feel a sourness, who would really get angry with their own child? If the earth were really angry, then the living beings on this land would face an unbearable disaster.

  "Don't worry, if one day I'm lucky enough to meet a still-living senior, I'll definitely get justice for you!" Lu Yu Feng knew that with the seniors' cultivation, as long as nothing unexpected happened, living for a thousand or eight hundred years was no problem. He spat out a mouthful of turbid air and resolutely spoke towards the empty space.

  Lu Yufeng himself didn't know why he said those words, nor did he know who he was saying them to. Lu Yufeng just wanted to give a confirmation to this mother who had been wronged for thousands of years, just like a child giving confirmation to his own mother.

  As soon as Lu Yu's words fell, the surrounding scenery trembled slightly, and then a mysterious aura followed the gentle breeze into Lu Yu's mind, piercing through his dantian. Lu Yu's dantian immediately began to churn!

  "It's going to break through." Lu Yufeng was overjoyed in his heart. He didn't expect that the moment he had been waiting for would finally arrive.

  Lu Yu's wind had struck the boundary of the ninth layer more than once, but each time it was only half a foot away from breaking through, yet somehow he couldn't take that half step.

  This time, the surging spiritual energy accompanied by that mysterious breath impacted the boundary of the ninth layer and the dan Tian wall, Lu Yu Feng felt that he had reached the edge of the boundary again. However, the situation was the same as before, and at the critical point, not even an inch could be advanced. Lu Yu Feng felt very helpless and prepared to calm down the spiritual energy inside his body and stop impacting.

  Suddenly, Lu Yufeng realized that he had lost control of his own spiritual energy. All the spiritual energy was no longer under his control and began to revolve around the mysterious air that entered the dantian.

  Lu Yu's eyes flashed, and he found himself in another space, similar to the one he entered during the war a thousand years ago, but with countless stars suspended in this world.

  A strong force pushed Lu Yu Feng, and a swirling spiritual energy suddenly fell from the sky, slowly condensing into a giant about ten zhang in size not far from him. Another mysterious aura guided it to form a human shape. When Lu Yu Feng saw this person's appearance clearly, he was shocked - this giant was none other than an enlarged version of himself...

  The giant glanced at Lu Yufeng and turned around, staring at the void in front of him with a flash of light in his eyes.

  "What? He... he can actually see me?" Lu Yufeng had originally thought that he was in the same state as when he entered the Great War, where no one would discover him. However, with the giant's single glance just now, Lu Yufeng felt as if his soul could be pierced through. Even more strangely, he felt a sense of familiarity towards this giant who was condensed from spiritual energy...

  The giant spirit didn't pay attention to Lu Yu Feng, but instead slightly raised his head and gazed into the void in front of him.

  "Hmm" a cold hum was emitted, with golden light flashing in his eyes, and a strong sense of oppression emanating from his body, causing the space around him to crack and spread outwards. However, when this oppressive force passed by Lu Yu Feng, it seemed to encounter some sort of obstruction, and detoured around him before continuing to spread outwards.

  Even so, Lu Yu Feng still felt a suffocating sensation in his chest, as if he had become a small boat on the vast ocean, which could be engulfed by the waves at any time.
