93: Chapter 93, give me some points!
Hearing Chu Ran's words, Luo Shu immediately burst into uproarious laughter.
However, upon seeing the formation diagram light up behind the other party, a flash of surprise passed through Luo Shu's eyes.
To smoothly capture the Tianxuan Continent and prevent any sudden changes, before setting out, he had specially spent a huge sum to borrow a heaven-suppressing stele.
That heaven-suppressing stele was currently on the Tian Shu Warship, primarily to restrict the high-level powerhouses on this continent...
This was also the real reason why those powerhouses on the Starry Sky Plank Road couldn't use spiritual energy...
Although a Totem-level Tamed Beast possessed terrifying pressure, it would still be difficult to simultaneously prevent so many Ninth-Revolution powerhouses from using spiritual energy...
"You also have a Exquisite Heart?"
Luo Shu said in astonishment. The sudden move from that dead kid just now, though lacking in attack power, had indeed somewhat intimidated him. A Exquisite Heart was a treasure hard to come by on the cultivation path...
Below the Tenth Revolution, it couldn't create a huge gap, but only after stepping into the Divine Realm could the terror of the Exquisite Heart truly manifest...
Unfortunately, however, a treasure like the Exquisite Heart is a gift from heaven. If you're not born with it, you'll never have it in this lifetime. Trying to obtain it through transplantation is even more impossible...
A smile still hung on Chu Ran's face. He didn't answer Luo Shu, just quietly looked at him.
[Current Advancement Points: 899896...89992...899908...]
Just a little more...
Just a little bit more!
...
Seeing this appearance, Luo Shu began to have doubts in his heart...
Could it be this kid hasn't even reached the Eighth Revolution...
The heaven-suppressing stele's restraint only works on powerhouses above the Eighth Revolution. If he hasn't even reached the Eighth Revolution, there's no need to waste the stele's spiritual energy to suppress him...
What puzzled Luo Shu was that although the kid's Tamed Beast formation diagram successfully displayed...
What did it mean that the Tamed Beast still wasn't coming out?
But there was no need to worry. A mere brat was not worth fearing at all.
"I quite liked the way you spoke just now. It's been many years since anyone dared to speak to me like that." A somewhat playful expression surfaced on Luo Shu's face.
Beside him, Luo Tian looked grave, quickly walked to Luo Shu's side, and whispered, "My God, that kid is stalling for time. We should hurry..."
"What's the hurry! Half of the Tian Shu force is here. How could a mere brat turn the heavens upside down!" Luo Shu said impatiently.
Seeing this, Luo Tian retreated with a humble expression.
Luo Shu, meanwhile, continued to smile and look at Chu Ran, saying calmly, "Since we are both of the Beast Tamer profession, I am naturally willing to chat with you a bit more. I'll reserve a position as the main soul in the myriad soul banner for you, as a reward for your earlier offense against me."
"I'm really grateful for that." Chu Ran forced himself to appear calm. Facing such a vast fleet and a Totem-level Tamed Beast, his back was already soaked with sweat...
Heaven bless me! Heaven bless me!
He had only one thought in his heart at this moment.
"Thunder Flood Dragon, you must live up to expectations!"
Otherwise, the entire Tianxuan might be gone, and your majestic, peerless master would still be refined into the myriad soul banner...
[Current Advancement Points: 899956...899962...899968...]
The panel in Chu Ran's mind changed every second. His heartbeat was almost synchronized with the increase of advancement points...
"Facing a Totem-level, your weak Tamed Beast must be scared." Luo Shu had already lost that three-second novelty he felt towards Chu Ran:
"When I was as young as you, I also fantasized about being a savior who could save the world when danger came.
And now I have truly become what I imagined back then, because I knew how to hide, unlike you, who is so reckless and overestimates your abilities...
I have a Tamed Beast that arrived in Tianxuan early, probably just advanced to Totem. To let you see the chasm-like difference in strength between you and me, let it send you on your final journey."
Slaying a god? What a ridiculous term...
The corner of Luo Shu's mouth turned up as he roared towards the sky:
"Nether Prison Dragon! Come forth!"
The sound shook the sky, spreading to every corner of Tianxuan!
But the figure of the Nether Prison Dragon did not appear, and his Tamed Beast contract still showed no reaction...
A trace of a bad premonition instantly arose in his mind, accompanied by a sharp pain!
"Is this the Nether Prison Dragon you mentioned?"
Chu Ran was seen smiling, holding a fist-sized demon core emitting a cyan-blue glow in his hand.
The moment he saw that demon core, the pain caused by the death of his Tamed Beast and the severing of the contract suddenly surged into his mind like a tide.
Luo Shu's smile instantly froze on his face.
His body suddenly tensed, veins bulging on his bronze-colored arms. An excruciating pain originating from the depths of his soul, like thousands of red-hot steel needles, continuously pierced his soul!
"You..." Luo Shu tightly clutched his head with both hands, his expression now twisted beyond measure, with shock, sorrow, pain, and anger interweaving on his face:
"You dare kill my Nether Prison Dragon!?"
"You only sensed it now?" Chu Ran felt somewhat surprised, then a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"It was killed by my Tamed Beast... and it was a three-on-one gang fight...
Oh right, it was expecting you to save it until its very last moment..."
Hearing Chu Ran's provocative words, Luo Shu's face instantly turned the color of pig liver, the veins at his temples throbbing as if about to burst through his skin.
His eyes widened like bronze bells, filled with ferocious blood vessels, pupils burning with raging fury.
He clenched his fists tightly, knuckles turning white, nails almost digging into his flesh, his chest heaving violently.
His teeth ground together with a grating sound, his cheeks bulging into hard lumps, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly due to extreme anger, even the muscles on his face trembling uncontrollably. Pointing at Chu Ran, he nearly roared:
"I'll kill you! I'll have everyone in Tianxuan accompany it in death!"
"Luo Tian! Open fire!" He turned his head and roared angrily at Luo Tian.
"My God..."
If everyone here was killed, the Tianxuan Continent would become like cosmic garbage, meaningless...
This trip would be in vain...
"You dare disobey my order?"
Luo Tian met Luo Shu's resentful gaze and instantly knelt down in fright: "I'll go right away..."
The terrifying aura that Luo Shu suddenly erupted with almost blew away the surrounding Ninth-Revolution powerhouses who couldn't use spiritual energy at all...
Xiao Yuhe, barely steadying himself, stared intently at the young man's back.
At this moment, standing at the very center of the pressure, he showed not the slightest sign of retreat. Instead, he was taking step by step towards where Luo Shu stood...
The expression on the young man's face, filled with tension just moments ago, now seemed more composed and relieved...
What was going on?
Facing terrifying pressure without retreating, but instead striding forward!
Chu Ran, you guy!
...
"Sacred Gold Heavenly Tiger, tear him to pieces!"
The piercing headache and towering rage had completely driven Luo Shu into madness as he roared at Chu Ran.
The Sacred Gold Heavenly Tiger's roar shattered the clouds. Claws wrapped in majestic demonic power tore through the sky. Golden gale winds, like a surging torrent of molten lava, crashed down towards where Chu Ran stood!
"Knew how to hide?" A trace of mockery appeared at the corner of Chu Ran's mouth: "Stop finding high-sounding excuses for your cowardice. Actually, it's just because you're weak, only daring to bully those weaker than you..."
"I admit, this time was indeed a bit reckless, but perhaps because I'm too handsome, I always receive heaven's favor..."
Chu Ran threw the demon core into his Tamed Beast space.
[Current Advancement Points: 899988...8999960002...]
"Causing my luck to always be good, no matter how much I mess around, I just don't die..." A faint smile appeared on Chu Ran's face as he softly parted his lips:
"Begin advancement!"
Just as the Sacred Gold Heavenly Tiger's claws were about to touch the space between Chu Ran's eyebrows!
Thump!
In that instant, time seemed to be grasped by an invisible giant hand, freezing at this moment!
The howling gale winds suddenly solidified in mid-air, turning into streaks of stationary golden light. The Sacred Gold Heavenly Tiger's ferocious pupils still retained the savagery of its pounce, but its massive body stiffened in place. Even the golden patterns on its fur stopped flowing. Even the scorching atmosphere permeating the air seemed frozen!
All sounds ceased between heaven and earth. Only Chu Ran appeared exceptionally clear in the dead silent scene. There was no surge of majestic spiritual power, no flashing of complex incantations...
There was only the faint smile and calmness rising at the corner of his mouth...
[Ding! Advancement successful!]
"Roar!"
An earth-shaking roar exploded from deep within the formation diagram, like the angry shout of an ancient deity. Rolling sound waves stirred the clouds and wind, even the frozen time seemed to crack under the shock!
The sky changed abruptly.
The cloud layers, previously suppressed into silence by the pressure, suddenly churned into ink-black, raging waves. Countless silver-purple lightning bolts, like mad dragons, weaved and collided among the clouds, with crackling thunderclaps exploding continuously!
Pillars of lightning tore through the heavenly curtain, carrying the power to annihilate heaven and earth, crashing down upon the Sacred Gold Heavenly Tiger frozen in mid-air!
