Skysplitter.
Jing Yuan did not let the two juniors, Yanqing and Yunli, tag along.
Because a clash of this level was far beyond what they could participate in.
He had entrusted both children to Elder Yan and requested him to notify the Xianzhou Alliance.
Just to say:
"Leon, General Leon, will handle the matter of Causality contraction personally. As always, we do not need to pay too much attention; we only need to believe in him."
"Haha, I'm not late, am I?"
Luocha, having received instructions from Jingliu, also arrived at the scene, bringing the items she required.
"Is the negotiation over?"
Luocha scanned the area.
If excluding him, there was no second spectator present besides Jing Yuan.
Most likely, they hadn't even notified the Xianzhou Alliance yet?
"Doesn't look like it to me."
Luocha observed the atmosphere on the arena ring, where swords were drawn and bows were bent.
Seriously, no matter how you looked at it, this didn't look like a deal had been struck.
Noticing something was amiss, Luocha covertly cast his gaze upon Jingliu.
His look carried an inquiring meaning.
Didn't you say you wouldn't get into a conflict with this Heavenly General? Why does it look like you're about to fight immediately?
Most importantly, why did you agree to it?
Luocha had told Jingliu not to screw this up. With the plan augmented by Leon, handling the two of them would be as easy as playing a game.
Jingliu remained silent, offering no response.
It was as if she wanted to fight—wasn't she being forced into this?
If Leon were willing to invest in her directly, then even if it meant letting Jingliu take the Golden Blood to ascend and then joining hands with him to kill The Abundance, she would be willing!
But there was no other way, was there?
She couldn't exactly say that this Heavenly General had a personality that refused to be beneath anyone all his life. He felt she was bragging, and without fighting to prove her intensity, there was absolutely zero possibility of cooperation!
Jingliu really had no choice; a winner must be determined between the two.
The cherished wish she had sought all her life was close at hand; it was impossible for her to give up halfway.
Either she wins, making Leon obediently become her subordinate to serve the cause of killing The Abundance.
Or she loses, and Luocha joins her in a specialized room and board package at the Shackling Prison.
Apart from these, there was no third road to walk.
"You have a very annoying face."
Leon looked at the smiling blond merchant, his gaze immediately drawn to the coffin on the man's back.
Where did this Medium Cup come from?
"Hmm, so, this is your foundation?"
Unsurprisingly, the coffin behind this Medium Cup should be the source of Jingliu's greatest confidence.
This coffin was no mortal object.
Every stroke of the patterns on its body was filled with the aura of "The Abundance."
At the very least, it was the handiwork of an Emanator of "The Abundance."
This aura was concealed very well.
But just because others couldn't feel it didn't mean Leon couldn't.
There was big work inside that coffin; the outer layer of "The Abundance" was used to maintain the vitality of the contents within.
Interesting. It was clear Jingliu had indeed put in the effort.
Even compared to the level of the Golden Blood of Destruction, this coffin likely wasn't much lower.
And one could figure out with their toes that something preserved using this kind of coffin couldn't possibly be a mortal object.
It was at least on the same level as the Golden Blood.
A coffin symbolizing "The Abundance," the Lightning Lord symbolizing "The Hunt," the Golden Blood symbolizing "The Destruction," and a creation of an "Aeon" from an unknown Path.
This was the list of props displayed for Jingliu's plan.
No wonder she had such confidence.
Using top-tier items from four Paths to forcefully stack stats for herself.
Replace her with anyone else, and it would be impossible not to get cocky.
But it was a pity. If she felt that this kind of numeric value achieved through doping could challenge an "Aeon"...
Then Leon could only say he would wait and see.
Because no matter how much you dope, you are still only within the scope of an "Emanator."
It would be difficult to even leave a wound on Nanook.
You want to rely on these stats to clash with him?
Don't joke. Even when Arnold from Changshu starts juicing, the drugs won't give you chiseled stats like these!
"Yes, the thing inside this coffin is my greatest foundation."
Jingliu nodded, not denying it.
"It is also the most indispensable power for killing 'The Abundance'."
Because strictly speaking, the thing stored in the coffin was of the same class as Iron Tomb's true body.
—Both were the remains of an "Aeon"!
"Do you want to refine the Golden Blood first, or the indispensable power you mentioned?"
Leon didn't ask what was in the coffin, because that action held no meaning.
He was too lazy to inquire about the past of a defeated opponent.
"Golden Blood," Jingliu answered immediately.
Only the Golden Blood could truly strengthen her own power, allowing her to use that strength to conquer other powers.
Hearing this, Leon's palm shifted, manifesting the Golden Blood stored within his Path Space.
"Better not disappoint me, Medium Cup."
He casually tossed out the power that countless people could not obtain even if they exhausted their entire lives.
His movement was crisp, filled with confidence.
It was as if the Golden Blood was not worth mentioning to him, and the crowned Jingliu was completely unworthy of his excessive attention.
"Of course."
Jingliu raised her hand and caught it with a snap.
The scorching heat of "The Destruction" ignited her skin, while the肃killing chill of "The Hunt" stung her palm.
Under the dual assault, just holding it made one feel a pain worse than death.
But even so,
Jingliu did not loosen her grip in the slightest; instead, she clenched it even tighter!
This was her only opportunity to kill "The Abundance."
She absolutely could not lose it!
Jingliu took a deep breath.
Feeling the colossal power transmitting from her palm, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
"From what you're saying..."
After Jingliu obtained the Golden Blood, Jing Yuan interrupted with a half-smile.
"If I win,
We won't get the chance to witness what exactly is stored in that coffin?"
Jing Yuan crossed his arms, his profound gaze fixed directly on his former mentor.
After Jingliu agreed to the proposal Leon put forward—the premise that "As long as you can win, the Golden Blood is yours"—Jingliu had laid out her complete plan.
There were three steps in total.
One was refining the Golden Blood. Two was her request for the Luofu's Lightning Lord.
Jing Yuan was confused, so Jingliu explained it this way.
Three, which was also the final step.
It required the Spirit of a Heavenly General as a carrier; otherwise, it could not proceed.
For this, Jing Yuan had to yield his position as General.
Leon told Jing Yuan to give her the Lightning Lord; after all, a result would be determined very quickly.
Even if he lent it out, it wouldn't be long before it was returned.
Jingliu was currently the type who wouldn't shed a tear until she saw the coffin; unless the "Complete Plan Version" of her was thoroughly defeated, she would likely harbor dissatisfaction.
Leon decided to satisfy her wish. If she wanted to show off, he would let her fly.
He loved comparing Total Damage, comparing DPS, and comparing stats the most!
Jing Yuan remained silent. He didn't agree immediately but pondered it for a long time.
Finally, he decided to become his master's intensity detector one step ahead of Leon.
He was afraid that Leon might strike without knowing the proper weight later—what if he killed his master outright?
Since Leon's goal was also to stop Jingliu...
In that case, it was better to skip that process.
Jing Yuan would directly step in and stop everything first!
Since Jingliu was so confident in her plan,
Then let Jing Yuan see just how much she weighed after ascending to a Lord Ravager.
With the buff of top-tier Golden Blood from dual Paths,
Wouldn't it be funny if she ended up going 50/50 with him?
Both being "Emanators,"
If she couldn't even achieve a steady victory against him, then she shouldn't humiliate herself by challenging Leon.
To put everything more simply, it was:
The Lightning Lord is right here. You know the rules. If you want it, then come and take it yourself!
"Jing Yuan, you've made something of yourself. You've even become a General."
Jingliu let out a chuckle, voicing the teasing remark she hadn't been able to say when she fell into Mara.
"Rest assured, you will definitely see what exactly is stored in the coffin."
Regarding Jing Yuan's question, Jingliu, holding the Golden Blood, was quite confident.
She didn't think there was any possibility of her losing.
"Then let this disciple see how much progress you've made compared to before."
Jing Yuan was naturally referring to the time she fell into Mara.
In terms of martial arts attainments alone, the number of times he had beaten Jingliu in his life was very few.
And that time happened to be one of the rare instances of total domination.
As a Pathstrider, she naturally couldn't win against him, who was already an "Emanator" at that time.
So, what about this time?
Both being "Emanators," would he win, or would she?
Jing Yuan waited for the upcoming actual combat to get this answer.
To this, Jingliu said not a word.
She raised her hand to the back of her head and loosened the black gauze covering her eyes.
The black gauze drifted away with the wind.
Beautiful crimson eyes slowly opened, just as they had when the two crossed blades before.
"I hope you haven't regressed, Jing Yuan."
Saying so, Jingliu sat cross-legged on the arena ring.
She closed her eyes, simultaneously calming her mind and spirit.
Silently sensing the state of mind she required.
The Golden Blood floated directly in front of her, flames of mixed gold and deep blue igniting upon it.
In an instant, dazzling light surged violently.
This signified that Jingliu had officially begun to refine this drop of "Golden Blood of Destruction."
Leon glanced at her, then walked off the arena ring without saying a word.
Yielding the space to this pair of master and disciple.
Leon walked to Luocha's side; unsurprisingly, the two were going to act as spectators together.
"The Path aura on you is very pure."
He was somewhat surprised that Luocha actually only had the aura of a single Path, "The Abundance."
"This is the first time I've seen someone from the pure 'Abundance' faction who wants to kill Yaoshi."
A body full of rebellious bones. To be honest, Leon felt it was a bit absurd.
If Luocha had other Paths on him, it would be fine, like Destruction or The Hunt.
Anyway, a secondary Intersecting Path besides the main "Abundance."
Regardless of what Path it was, the Path itself wasn't important.
It was a common situation for that secondary Path to drive Luocha to want to kill The Abundance.
But Luocha had the aura of only one "Abundance" Path on him.
Although there was a possibility he concealed it, for example, with "The Enigmata."
But ignoring the concealment for now, do you understand what kind of concept this is?
Holy crap, a direct descendant of "The Abundance" wants to kill Yaoshi? How is this any different from the Xianzhou Alliance wanting to kill Lan?
This was truly a "live long enough to see everything" moment.
Because given the philosophy of "The Abundance" faction, it was inherently unlikely for them to have thoughts of wanting to kill anyone.
It was more about the saving of people brought about by selflessness.
Yet Luocha not only had it, but his sword was also pointed at his own boss!
A traitor among traitors, a top-tier fence-sitter!
"Hehe, General, it is true that my power comes from The Abundance, but this does not mean I must be a loyal minister of Yaoshi. I am the same as you, and the Alliance."
Hearing this, Luocha merely smiled, having no intention of discussing this topic excessively.
"We are all enemies of Yaoshi!"
His words were incomparably sincere, and his current actions matched them.
Leon glanced at Luocha and didn't say anything more.
At a glance, this matter was indeed worth being shocked over, but thinking about it carefully, it was just so-so.
The Path is a very broad thing; it is not narrow.
Even if it were narrow, abilities to expand it exist.
For example, at Leon's current level, whatever he did actually had the potential to expand The Hunt.
But only potential.
He was indeed attempting to expand The Hunt, because only when The Hunt reached a higher level could his stats become higher.
Unfortunately, there had been no significant progress so far.
Saying all this, the meaning he wanted to express was only one:
Responding to the prayers of the myriad masses to crusade against Yaoshi—this is also a manifestation of selflessness.
Boom—!!!
Suddenly, a powerful aura diffused in all directions with Jingliu as the origin!
The fanatical breath of "The Destruction" brushed against faces, birthing despair in hearts.
The torture of "The Hunt" upon the body left no mercy.
Two imposing auras arrived one after another.
This commotion seized everyone's line of sight.
"Looks like there will be a result very soon."
As he spoke, Leon's gaze shifted to Jingliu.
He saw that the Golden Blood originally existing directly in front of her had disappeared at some unknown point.
Undoubtedly, Jingliu had succeeded.
During the time they were chatting, she had finally successfully refined the Golden Blood for her own use.
"My condition has never been as good as it is now."
Jingliu exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened her eyes.
Within those crimson eyes,
The pupil of the right eye already possessed the golden yellow of "The Destruction," while the pupil of the left eye held the color of "The Hunt."
Dual colors embellishing her gaze, heterochromia abruptly appearing!
"Is this an 'Emanator'...?"
Jingliu stood up, subconsciously clenching her fist, murmuring to herself.
The direct improvement this drop of Golden Blood of Destruction brought her was unspeakably massive.
Emanator and Pathstrider—the difference between heaven and earth.
Only by truly becoming an "Emanator" could one experience the power of this realm.
Having been an Emanator for barely a few seconds,
Jingliu felt that her previous fantasies were all just the wishful thinking of a frog in a well.
Power makes people swell the most.
Do you know what kind of swelled state Jingliu was in right now?
The improvement this time was difficult to describe in words!
But from the way she was swelling, one could see just how massive this improvement was.
She could only say this:
She felt that Leon was no longer worthy of being her opponent.
What meaning was there in his process anymore?
It was just going through the motions; the Golden Blood was destined to be hers!
Little Leon, did you think this Golden Blood would come to your Sister Jing's hand by itself?
In the future, when killing The Abundance, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to assist a bit.
Do a good job; Sister Jing has high hopes for you.
Leon? What kind of thing is a Leon? Go play on the side!
I told you to call Yaoshi here, call Yaoshi here! What, did you not hear me?
Jingliu truly didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth right now.
"Old Jing, stay sharp. Don't embarrass yourself."
Leon had no reaction to Jingliu; he was merely cheering for the General on the stage.
Jing Yuan remained silent as always, his expression incomparably grave.
He sensed the undisguised, purest power of Jingliu before him.
Inhaling deeply, flashing yellow lightning wound around his body.
A colossal body rose from behind him; the Lightning Lord, in the form of a Heavenly General, appeared at his back.
The Spirit bestowed by the Reignbow gave Jing Yuan immense courage.
Neither was willing to admit defeat; neither was willing to show weakness.
Thus, the two "Emanators" brought out their full power to clash right from the start!
The great battle was triggered in an instant!
