Chapter 496: Blessing of the Four Spirits

Lu Ye’s figure flickered continuously in the void.

Even with his incredible speed, by the time he arrived at Wang Duan Cliff, a whole bunch of strong folks had already gathered there.

However, the moment Lu Ye appeared, countless strong warriors changed their expressions.

Some even took the initiative to greet him.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, long time no see! Your cultivation has become even more unfathomable!”

Lu Ye looked at the speaker, it was Luo Heng, the head of the Luo family, whom he had met while improving their formation.

Lu Ye nodded and smiled.

“Luo Family Head, are you here to join the fun too?”

“The blessing of the Four Spirits, who wouldn’t fantasize about it? But since Fellow Daoist Lu is here, there must be no doubt about this matter,” Luo Heng replied.

“Who knows? A fated person might just show up and snatch this opportunity away. Anything is possible,” Lu Ye joked.

“Uh, Fellow Daoist Lu, if a fight breaks out later and someone takes a shot at you, will it drag down the family? If it might involve the family, I’ll make sure no strong members of the Luo family get involved…” Luo Heng asked awkwardly.

Actually, Luo Heng was quite clever. Although he hadn’t interacted much with Lu Ye, he knew Lu Ye was not a fan of useless chatter—getting straight to the point was the best way to go.

That way, Lu Ye would be more open to having a proper conversation with him.

“No worries. Competing for opportunities is all based on one’s own abilities; it won’t implicate the family,” Lu Ye assured.

“But life and death are predestined, and fortune is in heaven. As long as you participate, you can’t guarantee your own survival,” he added.

Luo Heng nodded.

“Fellow Daoist Lu is right. Everyone’s path is their own choice. Once the choice is made, one must bear the consequences. We’re fine with that,” Luo Heng smiled.

“With that awareness, you’re good to go.”

The blessing of the Four Spirits of Heaven isn’t something that can be easily obtained.

One must gain the recognition of the Four Spirits and pass their tests to acquire it.

As long as it doesn’t involve family matters, everyone’s mindset becomes much more relaxed.

At that moment, a resounding cry of the Vermilion Bird echoed through the skies.

A gigantic Vermilion Bird, engulfed in blazing Vermilion Bird True Flame, called forth the revival of the other three Four Spirits.

The blessing of the Four Spirits was their pact.

Essentially, it could be invoked every ten thousand years.

Any one of the Four Spirits could initiate it, and the others would respond.

After all, the Four Spirits of Heaven can also fall; yet after falling, they reappear in a new form, and these new spirits won’t be exactly the same as the last, despite having the same authority.

Even if the current Vermilion Bird is weak, the other three will still give it some face; no one can guarantee that they won’t find themselves in the Vermilion Bird’s position one day.

“Roar!”

A tiger’s roar shook the Nine Heavens!

The terrifying roar made the heavens and earth tremble, countless stars flickered, and immense power was showcased.

At that moment, all living beings felt an inexplicable dread, an uncontrollable fear rising from their very souls.

A blurry White Tiger, colossal beyond imagination, made every creature feel utterly small in comparison to its giant form.

After the roar of the tiger, a dragon’s hymn followed suit!

A massive Qing Long loomed in the starry sky, its scales as large as stars, three thousand scales representing three thousand stars.

The Xuanwu and the serpent howled in unison.

Their heavy forms arrived in an instant.

In a blink, the sky was completely dominated by the light and shadows of the Four Spirits, resembling the totems of ancient deities.

The supreme pressure crashed over the world in waves, showcasing the strength of the Four Spirits of Heaven.

Truly formidable!

Aside from the Vermilion Bird, the Qing Long was the most ancient, having never fallen, standing as one of the top Celestial Lords.

Although the Xuanwu had fallen once, it did so while protecting the heavens and earth. When it reappeared, all its merits returned to the new Xuanwu; it is also a Celestial Lord.

The White Tiger was now a Great Emperor, not far from becoming a Celestial Lord.

Only the Vermilion Bird appeared the weakest, but clearly, it still has an unlimited bright future ahead.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that the Vermilion Bird is guaranteed to become a Great Emperor or a Celestial Lord; even if you have the highest status and immense powers, you’re still a living being. As long as you’re alive, you can be killed!

The Four Spirits combined their strengths, unleashing a heavenly beam of light that stood tall between the Sixth Heaven and the Seventh Heaven.

This time, the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens did not appear, just like the Heavenly Dao. The power exuded by the Four Spirits was essentially a form of the laws governing the universe; it wouldn’t disturb the laws he had established.

The blessing of the Four Spirits of Heaven!

Instantly, figures rapidly charged towards the beam of light.

Lu Ye, without saying a word, disappeared in an instant.

One strong warrior after another surged into the beam, where countless small worlds were opened up by the power of the Four Spirits.

Some who just entered the beam were instantly knocked back out, coughing up blood, their energy diminished.

Others completely vanished without a trace.

A flash of white light crossed Lu Ye’s eyes, and he felt a fierce wind howling toward him with terrifying force.

Lu Ye raised his arm to block, but the force knocked him flying.

White Tiger!

Lu Ye’s feet skidded on the ground, leaving a deep trench behind.

Looking across, he saw a White Tiger, only about three meters tall, emanating an astonishing aura, especially with its overwhelming physique and vitality!

“Nine Lives Celestial Lord?” the White Tiger growled low.

A wry smile crossed Lu Ye’s face. It seemed that after the Darkness Origin projected Yue Hongling’s memories into the Nine Heavens, his reputation had indeed soared, to the point that even the White Tiger knew who he was.

“Well, I want to see just how much of your former prowess remains after your resurrection, Nine Lives Celestial Lord!”

Without further ado, Lu Ye declared, “Let’s fight!”

“Roar!”

In an instant, the White Tiger transformed into a white bolt of lightning.

Lu Ye’s blood surged as he threw a punch.

Of course, it wasn’t the Celestial Lord Fist — just a regular punch.

The White Tiger was a powerful opponent, and as Lu Ye continued to grow stronger, he had already run out of challengers in the Sixth Heaven. He was itching for a workout!

“Boom!”

The two colossal forces clashed in an instant.

Lu Ye’s long hair flew while the White Tiger’s fur rippled like waves.

Lu Ye let out a long howl, fully unleashing the Primordial Force and his physical might, as his fist hammered down like a torrential storm.

The White Tiger also roared back, shaking the heavens and earth.

“Boom boom boom!”

The void shattered into pieces, a terrifying force creating a massive storm of chaos.

Both man and tiger stood firmly in place, trading fist and claw blows wildly!
