Chapter 426: Core of The Remains

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Cloned Lu Shus’ combat techniques seemed to be overly simple. Could five strength-type Class C’s defeat a Class B? The answer was probably a no. Besides, it was tried and tested that the clones’ defense and durability were unreliable either, as it was mana consuming.

After the completion of conjuring up five Lu Shus, Johnson’s mana had almost been depleted. Now, he only had enough to supply for Lu Shu’s spears.

The key issue was Lu Xiaoyu’s power. She was unable to provide Johnson with limitless celestial powers.

As a result, she only had a chance at winning quick fights with a Class B. If it was to be dragged longer, with Class B’s fast healing abilities, Anthony would be unable to sustain another round of attack.

In other words, now Lu Xiaoyu had absolute advantage over any Class C’s, but not so with Class B’s. She would be an easy target if her inefficient restoration of celestial powers was discovered by others.

Undeniably, though, the materialization type had yet to unleash their true fighting potential. Thus, at the moment, Johnson could only be used as a functional spirit instead of a card against Class B’s, not to mention the fact that he had just ascended to Class B rather recently.

In fact, the easy defeat of the Pledge this time was not purely coincidental. In order to transport humans via the underground, there was a need to expend extra elemental powers and the earth-type Metahuman had yet to reach Anthony’s level.

“What was the earthquake just now, Lu Shu?” Lu Xiaoyu was curious. historical

“I don’t know how it happened and I’m still unclear about the specifics till now. Grandpa has flown there already and I am on my way,” Lu Shu said.

At this moment, Lu Shu looked up to see an odd-looking gray cloud coming towards him at incredible speed.

But upon a second look, it was not a cloud, but thousands of gargoyles!

Lu Shu frowned at the strange sight. Then, another gargoyle broke free from its stones without anyone passing by, and soared towards a certain direction. Lu Shu was utterly confused. “What’s going on? Is it due to the earthquake?”

At where he himself was, gargoyles were flying to the epicenter like birds returning to their nests, disregarding humans on the ground!

Lu Shu’s clones said, “Gargoyles are heading to the epicenter. We’ll meet there. Li Yixiao could be the one behind that crowd of a thousand gargoyles from the other side. We can’t let him see my clones.”

As he spoke, his clones disappeared one by one. Without hesitation Lu Xiaoyu started chasing towards the direction of gargoyles. That was where Lu Shu was!

...

Meanwhile, Lu Shu did not head straight to the epicenter as the big change might have attracted Class B pros there.

Moreover, currently all gargoyles were like a compass, a guidance to the center of the remains.

Probably no individual Practitioners or Class B’s would be willing to forgo this opportunity of securing the jewels of the remains.

At the moment, an expert dressed in red uniform raised his eyes and gazed at the returning gargoyles. As the Officer of Affairs, he had planned to reunite with his inferiors first. But the remains did not give him enough time.

Go to the core region first. Maybe my men are on their way there as well, thought the Officer of Affairs.

On the other side, a group of individual Practitioners were surrounded by gargoyles. Just when they were about to give in, the monsters suddenly left them alone and flew away towards something unknown.

One of them asked, yet to regain his bearings, “What happened? Why did they suddenly leave? Is it related to the earthquake just now?”

All of them were badly wounded and scarred. The sudden ray of survival was absolutely unexpected.

Some immediately collapsed to the floor.

In fact, since the dawn of the cultivation era, people had only gotten stronger physically instead of mentally. Hardly anyone could remain calm in the face of death.

It was a reoccuring scene throughout the entire remains. Everywhere, throngs of gargoyles were flying to the core region.

In the meantime, Lu Shu stood beside the epicenter with his cap and mask on. He had no idea what was triggered by the breaking of the scarlet stone plate but a pitch black palace had emerged from the surface right in front of him.

What was more, crowds of Practitioners gathered around him, all came for the gargoyles.

The monsters’ homecoming event had yet to end. Those early birds had already entered from the main gate of the palace, drawn to something hidden inside.

Besides, despite the large area of the building of up to hundreds of hectares, it was still not big enough to accommodate the gargoyles of the entire remains.

As for the latecomers, they were all beheaded by Li Xianyi’s invisible aura-blades.

People below gazed up at him in the air. “Is that the Class A from the Golden Foundation?”

“Definitely. Didn’t you see him flying?” another person replied, “He’s so powerful! Just a flip of a palm could put gargoyles to death immediately with invisible aura-blades! When can we be like that?”

Suddenly, Lu Shu heard a familiar voice. He tilted his head to spot Evan in the crowd conversing with others. This time, there was no arrogance on his face, but the young white male beside him looked calm and composed. They had intentionally kept a distance from the individual Practitioners.

Seems that he has reunited with people from the Phoenix Society, Lu Shu frowned. And Emily was nowhere to be found as well.

Over twenty Phoenix members proceeded forward following the young man’s lead. Those unaffiliated Practitioners consciously stepped aside like split currents. No one dared to stand in their way.

The Phoenix Society indeed had a blinding aura.

When they stood in the front row of the crowd, other powerful organizations all followed suit while individual Practitioners gave their way out of fear. The organizations had made their message clear, they were to compete for whatever was inside the palace.

The Class B leader of the Phoenix Society looked at Li Xianyi with a calm gaze and requested, “Mr Li, permission to enter?”
