Lu Yun stepped forward, approaching the five-colored stone again, trying to subdue it once more.
He exerted all his strength, tightly grasping the Five-Color Stone with both hands.
The intangible waves were even stronger, and the Five-Color Stone trembled violently.
As the last drop of golden blood completely submerged into the stone, its radiance surged, piercing the tens of thousands of feet high sky. Even from a hundred miles away, one could see the dazzling, true, multicolored glow.
“Whoosh!”
Sharp spurts of energy blades burst out, once again slicing terrifying scars on Lu Yun’s hands.
Enduring the immense counter-shock forces and the severe pain from his hands, Lu Yun held onto the Five-Color Stone.
This time, he was going to hold onto it no matter what.
Lu Yun focused all his mental energy on channeling his power and didn’t notice that the Five-Color Stone was continuously absorbing the golden blood flowing from his hands.
Time slowly passed.
“Whoosh.”
The five-color light emitted by the Five-Color Stone began to display a new color: black.
Red, yellow, blue, silver, gold, and the newly added black – the colors shimmered and circulated non-stop.
“The Five-Color Stone has gained a new color, transforming into a Six-Color Stone, and it’s actively devouring my blood?!”
Lu Yun became wide-eyed and tongue-tied, and he also realized that his blood was uncontrollably flowing out at a rapid pace.
Moreover, after the Five-Color Stone transformed into a Six-Color Stone, the counter-shock force Lu Yun experienced was weakening.
“Could it be that when it absorbed my blood, it reduced its resistance towards me?”
This notion arose within Lu Yun’s mind, and he also saw hope in subduing this extraordinary stone.
Golden blood streamed from the wounds on his hands, flowing into the Six- Color Stone. The light radiating from it became increasingly dazzling.
After almost half a quarter of an hour, the light emitted by the Six-Color Stone gained an additional color, white, with a “whoosh.”
The seven different colors – red, yellow, blue, silver, gold, black, and white – interwove and merged together.
Each ray of light contained the power to melt all things and decompose everything.
“After absorbing my blood, it seems like I can manipulate this stone.”
With just a thought from Lu Yun, the seven-colored light instantly dimmed, and all its power dissipated.
Lu Yun examined and toyed with the stone. Without emitting the seven-colored light, it looked like an ordinary beautiful stone without any extraordinary features.
When the seven-colored light shone, it possessed immense power.
“This thing is like a treasure, but not entirely.”
Lu Yun immediately put it into the Sumi Ring, planning to find an opportunity later to research it thoroughly.
Upon entering the Sumi Ring’s space, the ring, which had a capacity of a hundred cubic units, cracked and shattered, unable to withstand the Seven- Color Stone.
This time, Lu Yun encountered a problem.
Unable to store the Seven-Color Stone in the Sumi Ring, he couldn’t possibly keep holding it in his hand all the time, could he?
As he struggled with the decision, suddenly a thought emerged in his mind: “If only this Seven-Color Stone could shrink.”
The Seven-Color Stone emitted a burst of light the moment Lu Yun’s words ended, and then it instantly shrank to the size of a thumb.
“Huh?” Lu Yun’s face displayed surprise: “It can hear me, change size freely, could it be that this Seven-Color Stone is a spirit artifact?”
A spirit artifact is a more powerful existence than a Treasure Artifact, possessing terrifying power.
Most importantly, spirit artifacts have spirits.
Even the weakest spirit artifact has the strength of the Golden Core Ming realm.
After pondering for a while, Lu Yun shook his head, as if it were a real spirit artifact, its Weapon Spirit would’ve come out by now.
However, given the immense power it contains and the incredibly strong force it emits, it could be used as a weapon. In a battle, it might achieve unexpected results.
If used properly, it could even kill a martial artist at the peak of the Golden Body Realm.
Golden Body Realm standing at the peak is far above the late stage.
Seven or eight late-stage Golden Body Realm fighters couldn’t necessarily handle a peak-stage fighter together.
After shrinking to the size of a thumb, Lu Yun placed the Seven-Color Stone on his waist.
Without emanating the seven-colored light, it appeared to be an ordinary stone. Apart from being beautiful, it was nothing special, and it naturally wouldn’t absorb any more Aura Origins.
With the Pure Yang Strong Origin attached, Lu Yun wasn’t worried about it falling away.
Soaring into the sky, Lu Yun appeared on the surface.
At this very moment, the No. 18 warship appeared above Westward City.
Lu Yun immediately gathered up these still-shocked youths and appeared on the warship.
“General, what happened here?”
Ye Xuan and the others, seeing the Westward City that had become a pile of ruins, asked in confusion.
Of course, deep in their hearts, they suspected that everything that had happened here might be related to Lu Yun.
Before all this, they’d felt two powerful auras from afar.
As a result, they subconsciously believed that the destruction of Westward City was caused by the battle between Lu Yun and another powerful warrior.
“An unparalleled demon appeared here, and more than ten thousand people in Westward City were ruthlessly slaughtered. Only these teenagers managed to escape by luck.”
Lu Yun indifferently explained, not wanting to carry the stigma of killing indiscriminately.
The warship continued its journey, and while passing a town, Lu Yun ordered the placement of the teenagers brought from Westward City. Then, they headed towards the Fierce Ghost Sect’s mountain gate.
Just like Westward City, the entire Fierce Ghost Sect was in utter ruins. Numerous mountain peaks were destroyed by powerful forces, the palaces and towers had collapsed into rubble. Everything had been buried, and one could barely discern that this place once housed a sect.
“If I’m not mistaken, the fall of the Fierce Ghost Sect is likely related to the demon I encountered before.” Standing above the ruins of the Fierce Ghost Sect, Lu Yun spoke with his hands on his back.
Upon hearing these words, Ye Xuan and the others, the Black-rank Demon Extermination Generals, fell silent.
The Fierce Ghost Sect, a powerful sect that had two Rune Seed Realm powerhouses and tens of thousands of disciples.
Such a formidable force had been annihilated. How powerful could this demon be?
“Rest and recuperate here for a day while investigating if any remnants of the Fierce Ghost Sect have survived.”
Even though Lu Yun knew that there were likely no survivors left by the enemy’s methods, he still ordered the Demon Extermination Guards to sweep through the area.
“General, let me take care of this matter.” Qing Hou, the commander, volunteered.
Since they’d come all this way, they couldn’t go back empty-handed.
Naturally, Lu Yun happily agreed.
