God Of Immortals

Although he was caught off-guard, Ju Feng knew the fight was certainly too much for him. He was impressed as he watched the three demigods exchanged blows with the death-eater. They were trying their best, but he knew they were loosing their ground. Despite being at its weakest state due to its battle with the conchi guardian, the death-eater was much more stronger than the three demigods. He quickly decided to join them, at least, he had to try. Even with his good intention, he had to be careful not to get in their way.

The death-eater had gathered a massive dark energy which had already reached the stage of Shadow-Grazing. Ju Feng could help but wonder what in heavens tears was that death-eater. At that weakened stage, it was still generating such a power? Unbelievable. 

The four of them were on the floor, injured and not far from them was the approaching death-eater. It was coming at them at a measured speed. They were about to use their teleportation seals when Liu Luoyang, who had been watching and waiting, made his move. The other demigods hadn't noticed he was missing in the battle before. 

While waiting for the right time, he was holding two concealed seals. The Gloomy-Sky seals. A pure grade luminous treasure. He activated it and threw it skyward in the direction of the death-eater and other demigods. The death-eater was about to deliver an immortal blow to Fan Xinyi when it froze. The other demigods too were frozen in place.

All their elements manifestation, disappeared.

Kang Ya's flame, Fan Xinyi's necrosim and Fang Zedong's metallisk, all vanished. The death-eater's roiling dark energy also ceased. It could sense the danger at hand. It tried to manouvre his way but the seal was already locked in. The call of terra, made the ground beneath the death-eater to rumble.

Although, they were frozen in place, they could move their eyes and their hearing was still functioning.

"Three Luminescent Light Steps, I take."

"Two Luminous Gloomy Skies, I walk."

"One Luminant Sword, I wield."

First, they heard the words of Liu Luoyang. Then, almost at the same time, they saw him in pristine white robe. His body was covered in blazing white light as he walked on lucid steps of cloud. They watched as he arrived in front of the death-eater and thrusted his radiant longsword into its mouth before cutting of its head. Its head landed on the ground and a large Sacredcrest stone rolled out.

Just like that, it was over.

Ju Feng couldn't believe what he saw. He had seen a few grand moments in his short existence, but nothing compared to that. It was true power in its majestic form. And to think it was displayed by a demigod kid like himself, made him realize how little he was in the martial and mystical world. Although he took comfort from the fact that the demigods were thousands of years old, if not more. He waited patiently, hoping the demigod wouldn't decide to leave him there. He would simply die where he was, alone.

Liu Luoyang landed softly in front of them and looked at their faces with a wicked smile. He went to where Fan Xinyi was staying and waved his hand in front of her eyes. His smile continued to broaden as he saw the anger in the eyes of Fan Xinyi and Kang Ya.

"Easy now, the two of you. Just checking. Easy."

He made some hand signs and retrieved the seals. The lock on them was removed and everything returned to normal.

"How could you made fun of me?"

Fan Xinyi asked angrily as she sent a fist made of necrom essence at him.

"What's wrong with you?"

Fan Xinyi continued to glare angrily at Liu Louyang.

"You could've removed it right away instead of rubbing it in our faces. In my face!"

"I'm sorry. Fan Xinyi? "

Liu Luoyang looked pleadingly at her. The two of them, together with Kang Ya, had been preparing for this trials together. As a matter of fact, their friendship started from their childhood. Hence, they knew one another very well.

"Didn't know you could do that."

"What was that, Liu Luoyang?"

Liu Luoyang thpughtfully peered at them before answering.

"The two seals combined are total grade luminous treasure. They are my ancestral treasures. The longsword is also a high-grade luminous treasure. It belonged to my grandfather. They gave them to me like safety measures. But, the Three Light Steps, are my martial arts. Don't forget, I'm already at the Yinlong level."

"You could've killed it before all the fighting. Why didn't you? It could've killed us all?"

"Sorry about that. I had to make sure its power wasn't above the heavenly treasures. Else, the seals would've disintegrated and we would've been in a dire situation."

"Anyway, your plan paid off. It's dead and we're all safe."

"So this Sacredcrest stone belongs to one of you two, as agreed."

Fan Xinyi said as she picked up the stone. It was an epic stone. She wished it was for them, but an agreement was already made. She flicked the stone towards Fang Zedong who passed it to Jufeng.

Liu Luoyang was checking the death-eater, when he remembered something. When he was using the light steps, he had seen something like a crystal at the helm of the dais of the death-eater.

"Wait a minute."

He leapt into the air and landed behind the dais. He reached out and pried something out of the vale of the dais. A large yellow gold crystal. He examined it before giving a shrug. Didn't look like a treasure of great value, but keeping it wouldn't do any harm.

When Ju Feng saw it, his face lit up. He quickly controlled himself in order not to give it away. Liu Luoyang was holding what he was looking for. The reason why he was there in the first place. After they had searched the chamber and other parts, they found a few other treasures. But Ju Feng already knew what to do since the other group still needed one more Sacredcrest stone. He turned towards the direction of the pristine demigod who was folding his hands behind his back.

"Liu Luoyang, do you mind if I tempt you. My sacredcrest stone for that yellow gold stone you have in your hands?"
