The Devilish Immortal

Chapter 178 Battle in Ancient Times

Both Lyu Liang and Liu Jiawen were startled, and then a trace of joy passed over their faces.

“You should stick to your words, and not trick your juniors!” Liu Jiawen rolled her eyes, revealing a smiling face immediately.

The bewitching, cyan-robed man smirked, “Members of the Fang family are all trustworthy, so you can go now! As for you, girl, will you stay here, or go with them? I’m not sure when he will return. It may be as short as several days, or as long as several years.”

Liu Jiawen looked at Lyu Liang, and then turned back t to the man, nodded her head resolutely and said, “I will wait for him!”

The man nodded his head as well, “Ok, if that is so, I can give you an opportunity to go into the fortress while you are waiting for him, but you will be in a different place.”

Lyu Liang and Liu Jiawen looked at each other, and then both of them bowed to the man and said, “Thank you!” After that, they stepped into the gate of the fortress.

“Dumb boy, if you meet any danger, you should come out immediately, at least you will be alive! Even though senior Fang promised that he would not make things hard for you, we don’t know whether there are other obstacles inside. You should take care!” Liu Jiawen reminded Lyu Liang, before they came to a black barrier.

Lyu Liang nodded and promised: “Take it easy! We will meet again. Wait for me here!”

“Ok, I will wait for you here!” Liu Jiawen agreed, then darted into the black barrier. Lyu Liang took a deep breath and followed her.

Looking at the two disappearing into the black barrier, the man showed a tinge of comfort in his eyes. He immediately turned back and asked, “Is he the chess piece chosen by Sun and Wood? Well, maybe in their eyes, he is not just any ordinary chess piece any longer!”

“Yes, along the way, I also felt he was the man we wanted. By the way, will this harmony between you and me violate the restriction set by your body?” A figure dressed in red appeared, which turned out to be Zhu Yan. He seemed to be on familiar terms with the bewitching cyan-robed man.

“Ho-ho, the restriction of body? Can it be regarded as a kind of restriction? It is hard to judge whether those things that happened years ago, were right or not. Looking at these young men, I really feel that we are growing older. If I’m right, the Heaven Rainbow Fortress will soon be destroyed, which must have been tacitly approved by the Wu-Ji Five Lords.” The man smiled cunningly, and had a rather relaxed look on his face.

Zhu Yan nodded and replied softly, “I know, that year, not everyone approved that decision. But we could understand why they made such a decision. After all, it helped to keep peace for hundreds of thousands of years. Just because Great Emperor Mu Yan made some sacrifices, Earth seemed to bear this hatred in mind, and even Sun was hard to persuade.

The bewitching, cyan-robed man had a serious look on his face, for the first time, and remarked in a low voice: “The more civilized a world is, the faster the world will be destroyed! Those things behind me should really be sealed forever! What’s more, those comrades-in-arms would rather die in the battlefield than be sealed in such a way!”

Zhu Yan also nodded seriously, but soon grinned, “Then, can Lyu Liang become the keeper? It seems that he is the most suitable one, in terms of nature and character.”

On hearing these words, the bewitching, cyan-robed man fixed his eyes on Zhu Yan for quite some time, then both of them nodded in agreement. Afterwards, they burst into laughter.

“Where is this place? A battlefield?” After entering the black barrier, Lyu Liang immediately fell into a faint. When he woke up, he found himself in a land of wilderness.

But now, he was totally shocked at what was happening in the air!

Two forces were having a fierce fight in the dim sky. One side was made up of human cultivators, and the other side should be the giants that Liu Jiawen was once disguised as!

The difference was, these giants were of different heights. The shortest one was about thirty meters high, and the tallest was as tall as sixty meters high! As for the human cultivators, there were numerous, huge-sized puppets. Among these puppets, was the one that Lyu Liang was comparatively familiar with. It had three heads and six arms and was operated by Li Wuyi.

But Lyu Liang marveled most at the giant ships that were scattered all over the formation of the two forces. The ships were filled with huge cannons. Besides, in each force, there were actually over ten armed fortresses of the same style as Heaven Prestige Fortress, that Lyu Liang had entered before!

The magnificence of gunfire all over the sky, greatly shocked Lyu Liang. Compared with this unbelievable donnybrook, the fight between Chaotic World and Nether Big World was just like a family game.

Obviously the two forces were neck to neck in terms of strength. It was impossible for human beings to fight against those giant ships and fortresses. Human cultivators and giants constantly fell, when hit by the gunfire. But the performances of some men still drew Lyu Liang’s attention.

It was a group of ordinary cultivators, who kept their cool, under such a severe situation. Each of their moves, though primitive and elegant, produced such great powers that could even move the world!

Even if Lyu Liang failed to perceive their aura, he knew that their cultivation was beyond his recognition!

While looking at them, Lyu Liang’s eyes suddenly widened and he couldn’t help bursting out, “Ying’er!”

Among those powerful figures, he saw one who looked like Shangguan Ying! But later, Lyu Liang realized that although that one resembled his Taoist companion in appearance and disposition, yet judging from the moves, Lyu Liang knew that they were not the same person.

The green-robed girl, who looked like Shangguan Ying, was fighting against a two-headed, six-horned giant, of over thirty meters height. The moves from both sides were overwhelming, but there seemed to be an invisible bounded domain around them, which helped to prevent their moves from hurting the others.

Subconsciously Lyu Liang began to cheer for the green-robed girl, but he also had many questions in his mind. Meanwhile, he unexpectedly found some acquaintances among them, several of whom he was quite familiar with.

The first one he recognized was the Freedom Immortal Emperor, who had transmitted power to him, and then he spotted the Tai Su Ancestor Lord. Although this one looked younger than the one he was familiar with, yet they were definitely the same person! The others were six people wearing robes in different colors, who seemed to be on the same side as the green-robed girl. They were not far away from each other, and seemed to be looking out for each other.

Among them, was a man, who was nearly ten meters in height, with tangled hair and a crimpy beard, who attracted Lyu Liang’s main attention. This was because Lyu Liang had a strong sense that they might have known each other from before!

The combat ability of this man was really of a high level. Although he was fighting against three two-headed giants, he still had the upper hand! He seemed to have a strong perceptivity of danger. Even as he was fighting with others, he still managed to avoid various sneak attacks from behind him, easily. In addition, among all his moves, there was one which was similar to the one Lyu Liang displayed, when he infused with the divine beasts!

For example, the divine fist of Ape, the Shadow Realm Shield of Black and the body technique of shunning of White. However, from the power of his moves, Lyu Liang could tell that it was not as powerful as his Human-Beast Unite!

While Lyu Liang was distracted, the scene before him suddenly changed and he was now inside a big hall.

At this moment, three forces sat around a square table, and they were surrounded by three people. Although Lyu Liang failed to perceive the aura of cultivation, his Divine Soul was still shocked!

Among the three of them was an extraordinary girl, whose beauty was beyond words! She was wearing a gown made of red silk and looked exceedingly pretty. The key point was, the royal demeanor she revealed, was most attractive.

There was an elderly with a long white beard, and the other was a three-eyed, four-armed, demon-like person of about ten meters height, seated beside her. It seemed that they should be of the same rank as the girl, as it was obvious that they were no ordinary people.

On the right and left sides of the square table, were two forces of Human Clan, engaged in a fierce discussion. The three people on the left side wore clothes of the same style, among them, one who should be Heaven-burning Ancestor, who Lyu Liang had seen previously, and the other two were bald headed elders. The three people stood there silently, fixing their eyes seriously on the three, who were in a heated discussion, on the opposite side.

On the right were three people, with a blue-robed young man, as their head. It would not be an exaggeration if they were described as being extremely furious and indignant. Although Lyu Liang couldn’t hear what he was talking about, he could still feel their rage.

Then the scene changed again, and Lyu Liang saw another fight. The difference was, this time there were only human beings and giants fighting against each other, without no giant ships or fortresses.

This time, Lyu Liang’s eyes widened again. The girl, who looked like Shangguan Ying and the big man who he found quite familiar, appeared again. Together with the other five comrade-in-arms, they were fighting against the giants, who greatly outnumbered them.

There were also powerful figures from the Human Clan, fighting together with these seven people, among them, were the Freedom Immortal Emperor and the bewitching, cyan-robed man. Some of them looked calm, some manic, and some were even cursing all the time, but none of them retreated. Under the protection of a silver light barrier, they were trying their best to fight against the crazy giants.

At this grand and horrifying battlefield, Lyu Liang could not see the craziness of fighting in the eyes of those giants at the beginning, and as for human beings, they would rather die than retreat!

After about 90 minutes, a violent tremor stirred the whole space and Lyu Liang fell into a faint again. At the last moment before he lost his consciousness, he seemed to see a wide piece of land, breaking into different pieces. All the pieces showed different scenes, and then flew into four directions.

Lyu Liang did not know how much time had passed before he woke up. He looked around, and found himself in a not-so-big sealed room. In the center of the room lay a chair, on which there were some strange buttons.

“You are awake? Sorry, I shouldn’t have cast you into such a dangerous place... ” The voice similar to Shangguan Ying’s, sounded again, and even the tone and the pattern of speech were the same. Lyu Liang almost blurted out, “Ying’er”, but he managed to hold it back.

This place could block Divine Sense, so Lyu Liang couldn’t gauge which direction the voice was coming from. So he asked softly: “Why did you draw me here? Your voice is so similar to one of my old friend’s!”

After a moment of silence, the voice sounded again, seemingly with some hesitation: “What is your relation, with the one who has the same voice as me?”

“Her name is Shangguan Ying, and she is my beloved Taoist companion. Although she is not with me now, yet someday, I will be with her forever, at the price of any sacrifice!” Lyu Liang said resolutely. He didn’t know why he should subconsciously relate this voice with the green-robed girl, in the previous battlefield scene.

The voice didn’t reply, and Lyu Liang continued to ask something which had puzzled him, “I have seen those scenes off and on, are you the green-robed girl? Why are you so similar to my Taoist companion? Can you tell me your name?”

“I’m sorry! I am really sorry! I can’t say anything at the moment, but one day, someone will tell you all about it. I just hope you know, I really don’t bear you any malice.” This voice seemed to be a little stirred up with emotion, and Lyu Liang could even hear the sound of her rapid gasping.

“Where am I? Am I in the fortress? How can I get out of here?” Lyu Liang suppressed his emotions. He didn’t like pushing others hard, especially when this girl seemed to have a link with Shangguan Ying.

“Do you want to end the war in the Mortal World soon? I can teach you how to control the Heaven Prestige Fortress. In this way, no one can defeat you in the Mortal World. Even if you want to dominate the entire Realm, it won’t be difficult. Do you want it?” After a short period of recovery, the voice seemed to be calm again. Without answering Lu Liang’s questions, the voice was offering him something that he could hardly refuse.

“I really want to end the war in our Realm. Naturally it will be great if I can control that big fortress! But I am not interested in using it to dominate the Realm! I only care whether I can really control the Heaven Prestige Fortress!” To say that he was not moved by the offer, would be a lie. Lyu Liang also understood that if this fortress could be used in the battle, they would definitely win the battle even without putting up a fight!
