Chapter 3529 Certain Death
"You can choose to give up and leave with the rewards for the first two levels." The cave spirit continued, "But if you choose to continue to challenge, you must be prepared to fall."
"If I give up, can I come in again later?" Lu Yun asked.
"The opening of the Qinglian Cave is a great opportunity. Even some supreme Taoist saints cannot enter if they don't have the opportunity." The spirit of the cave said lightly, "If you give up, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to come in again in the future."
Lu Yun fell into deep thought.
Giving up means safety, but it also means losing greater rewards.
If you continue, you may get greater opportunities, but it also comes with huge risks.
"The first two tests correspond to the peak of the third level of immortality, and the second test corresponds to the early stage of the fourth level of immortality..." Lu Yun calculated silently in his heart, "With my current strength, my comprehensive combat power can barely reach the peak of the fourth level of immortality, which is the level of the top God Emperor."
"Besides, my status as a Dao Master might give me some advantages in this test."
Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Lu Yun's eyes.
"Senior, I choose to continue to break through!"
"Okay!" A hint of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the cave spirit, "Since you have made your choice, then go ahead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a towering temple gate appeared in front of Lu Yun.
Before, Lu Yun could only see the exterior of the temple but could not see what was inside.
And now, the door of the temple was opened, and the scene inside finally appeared before his eyes.
Behind the palace gate was not the storehouse filled with rare treasures as Lu Yun had imagined, but a magnificent temple.
Thirty-six golden pillars with coiled dragons support the dome, on which are carved ancient runes that flicker with faint golden light.
At the end of the temple, there is a towering throne, but there is no one on it.
Below the throne, in the corner, there were two people sitting.
A man dressed in a golden dragon robe and wearing a golden crown, emitting a suffocating aura, was actually an Immortal God Emperor of the Fifth Realm!
The other person was a thin man wearing a red tight robe. He had delicate features and cold eyes, like a poisonous snake, which made people shudder.
When the two saw Lu Yun come in, their eyes all fell on him.
The man in the golden robe just glanced at it calmly and ignored it, as if he was indifferent to everything.
The man in red grinned, revealing his sharp white teeth, his eyes full of mockery and cruelty.
“Master, this kid is a Taoist master, leave it to me.”
The man in red licked his lips, his tone containing a hint of excitement.
The man in the golden robe nodded slightly, which was considered as his agreement.
"Boy, you have great talent, but unfortunately, once you enter here, your glory will end here."
The man in red slowly stood up and walked towards Lu Yun step by step. Every step seemed to step on Lu Yun's heart, bringing tremendous pressure.
"Tsk tsk, what a shame for such a pretty face. I will definitely ravage it before sending you on your way."
The man in red smiled sinisterly, his eyes full of malice.
Lu Yun's heart trembled. The strength of this man in red was actually that of an Immortal God Emperor of the Fourth Realm!
"Senior, what exactly is this third test?"
Lu Yun turned to look at the spirit of the cave and asked in a deep voice.
The figure of the cave spirit slowly emerged and said calmly: "It's simple, defeat him and blast him out of the temple."
Lu Yun frowned. The man in red was as strong as him, and he also called the man in gold robe "Master". There must be some hidden secret between them.
As if seeing Lu Yun's confusion, the spirit of the cave continued to explain: "There is a ban here. The master and the disciple cannot leave this temple. And if the challenger can pass the test, the gatekeeper will surely die."
“So, they will fight hard.”
The voice of the cave spirit was calm, but it contained a hint of cruelty.
Lu Yun's heart sank. This rule was too cruel.
As such, this third test is almost an impossible task for a cultivator at the Dao Master level!
No wonder he had previously speculated that no one had passed the test of the Qinglian Cave.
I'm afraid that the test of the immortal level will be even more difficult, and the one who needs to be defeated may be an Immortal God Emperor of the Fifth Realm!
"Boy, do you have any last words to say?"
The man in red had walked up to Lu Yun and was looking down at him, his eyes full of mockery and ridicule.
“I think it would be better for you to let me break through to the Immortal God Emperor before killing me. That way you will appear more capable, right?”
Lu Yun sneered and retorted.
The red-clothed man's face darkened and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Humph, you still dare to be stubborn even when you are about to die!"
The man in red snorted coldly and was about to take action.
"Senior, can I use weapons in this third test?"
To be on the safe side, Lu Yun decided to ask about the rules first.
The spirit of the cave replied calmly: "Yes."
Lu Yun was speechless. The second test prohibited the use of magic weapons, but the third test allowed them. This rule was really arbitrary!
However, since he can use weapons, his chances are even better.
"Heavenly Sword!"
Lu Yun's mind moved, and the Tianxing Sword instantly appeared in his hand.
The sword was shining brightly, emitting a sharp sword intent.
As he obtained the Tianxing Sword, a familiar force flowed through Lu Yun's body, slightly relaxing his tense nerves.
He weighed the sword in his hand, and the sword body hummed, as if responding to his fighting spirit.
Lu Yun raised a confident smile and looked at the man in red, with a bit of provocation in his tone: "Want to kill me? Come on and try. But I have to remind you that even if I can't beat you in the third level, I can still escape. But you are trapped in this temple, unable to escape."
The man in red turned pale. Lu Yun's contempt completely angered him.
He snorted coldly and stopped talking nonsense. A blood-red divine pattern of the power of rules suddenly appeared on his body. The whole person turned into a residual image and disappeared from the spot in an instant. The next moment, he appeared in front of Lu Yun, holding a blood-red divine sword in his hand with a sharp murderous aura, and slashed Lu Yun's face.
"Well done!"
Lu Yun did not dodge or evade. He swung the Tianxing Sword and a brilliant sword energy surged towards the man in red like a raging wave.
"boom!"
The sword energy and the knife light collided, causing a deafening roar.
Lu Yun's Tianxing Sword is a top-grade supreme holy weapon, while the red-clothed man's blood-colored divine sword is only a lower-grade supreme holy weapon. There is a huge gap in quality between the two.
What's more, Lu Yun uses the power of life rules as the foundation to control the three thousand rules of heaven. He also combines the power of the immortal sword body and the power of the Chaos Green Lotus to activate the Tianxing Sword, making its power even more astonishing.
Even without using his killing move, it was enough to block the attack of the man in red, and even repel it back.
