Dual Cultivation God Returns

Chapter 471 Blue Moon

Chapter 471 Blue Moon

??Wu Long's figure was surrounded by flashing arcs of lightning, as his muscles slightly contracted and relaxed from time to time, creating a very indistinct twitch in his shoulders that made it seem like he was overflowing with energy.

'Hmm, as I thought it is still a little hard controlling the Ligthning Rune, and there are many adjustments that need to be done, but the first experiment is quite successful'

A thought went through his mind as he felt the condition of his body after making a strike which was a combination of a spear strike with a Spiritual Qi technique imbued with Lightning Qi and his new body tempering experiments.

Though the strike had this much power partially due to the fact that the conditions were right, since he could feel a lot of accumulated Lightning Qi high above in the skies as soon as he arrived in the canyon, but there was also a lot he had confirmed.

His Lightning Rune seemed to have become stronger as soon as he took that energy, which led him to think that there was another Lightning Rune dissolved in the surroundings that he did not detect, but had unconsciously consumed into his own.

However, as the initial shock and awe of the people around passed, their gazes then turned to the sky rather than to the massive corpse of the beast. He smiled following their gazes to see two moons in the clear, but rapidly closing up with another blizzard sky.

The first one was a pale gray-white moon they always saw, and the other one was distinctly blue and covered in lines of hues from its blue color to white.

"How can..."

Xue Bing uttered with shock as she never saw such a phenomenon.

"Haha, Prime Disciple Xue just never saw it since the sky in these parts is always covered up, but this phenomenon occurs every time the Demonic Beast wave appears, meaning each decade"

Wu Long chuckled arriving next to them after retrieving the Demonic Core of the beast he slayed.

"So is this..."

Hua Ziyan asked, her eyes also filled with wonder at the blue orb reflected in them, though not as much shock as the others which told the astonished Xue Bing that she already anticipated this sight.

"Mm, it is where these Demonic Beasts come from..."

Wu Long nodded to Hua Ziyan as Xue Bing and disciples of the Frozen Garden Palace who followed her could only look on in silence.

"...and our destination"

He then added, causing the core disciples of the Frozen Garden Palace to look at him with a different look of bewilderment.

"Of course, Prime Disciple Xue and the Core Disciples of the Frozen Garden Palace are not obligated to come, as it would be admittedly quite dangerous"

Wu Long chuckled as he saw those expressions.

"I... I will follow..."

Xue Bing hesitated for a moment, but something in her took over as she nodded her head.

The Core Disciples behind her also lacked confidence, but there was something incredibly appealing in the mysteries and discovery of something new and unknown.

They looked at one another in doubt but soon most of them decidedly nodded.

"Good, though we should clean up this wave a bit more first, but since the time to enter and leave will be limited, I guess I should work a bit"

Wu Long nodded as he saw them confirm their choices, then looking to the direction of the crevasse which was now partially covered by the massive corpse, but from which the tide of Demonic Beasts continued to pour out, either circling around or climbing on the corpse.

Several 7th-tier beasts which appeared before were now standing in apprehension, looking at him, and there were more of them appearing among the newly arriving horde.

"Ziyan, you take on as much as you can while I crush a little ahead"

Wu Long turned to the beauty who nodded with an eager expression, her eyes brimming with excitement.

They both launched from their spots, Wu Long's figure followed by small arcs of lightning as it appeared near 7th tier beasts, slaying them with one attack for each.

A mass of beasts in between was also split in two or a hole pierced through its head, every wound flashing with small residual electricity as well.

'This lightning... how is he doing it?'

Xue Bing who followed targeting 6th and 5th tier beasts with her fellow disciples turned her icy eyes to the man whose figure flashed with blue-white streaks of lightning, loosing sight of him in one moment to find it in another part in the next.

Her own Sect's techniques were conceptually created with Iceattribute which was controlled by Water Qi and Cold Qi, which was part of the specific aptitude one had to possess when recruited into the Frozen Garden Palace.

But they were all very clear on the fact that unless one was in the Seven Profound Realms, which had long since turned into a legend for most people in this world due to it being unreachable, they could not actually wield the power of elemental attributes.

Wu Long's eyes turned to the wall where Elders and Sect Protectors were still locked in a fight, since he was done with most 7th tier beasts, leaving a little for Hua Ziyan.

"This is bad! W-we should-..."

An Elder of the Cloud Piercing Sect that Wu Long recognized as the 'retired' Elder Hou, raised his voice as he felt Wu Long's electrified gaze turn to them. Quite worried about his presence there ever since he slayed that 9th-tier beast.

He and several other Elders of his Sect, as well as Profound Martial Palace were engaged in a fight with Grand Elder Qu of the Frozen Garden Palace who was in charge of the whole expedition.

Ten of them at once were enough to hold the only Grand Elder here at bay. Since even though the Grand Elder of the Phoenix Sword Sect managed to slip away, and arrive here in secret to ambush Wu Long, the Grand Elders of the Five Great Sects were too conspicuous for that.

The Elder did not manage to finish his thought though, as an arc of electricity reflected in Grand Elder Qu's eyes, with Wu Long's figure appearing at the end of it while the ten Elders she was fighting flew up into the air in two pieces or with a hole in their chests.

The Elders and Sect Protectors of the other side quickly followed this fate as a streak of bluish white lightning went through the fighting crowd.

Grand Elder Qu and the others widened their eyes as Wu Long completely annihilated their opponents in the blink of an eye.

There was no hesitation or mercy as none of them managed to even plead for their lives. This utterly miserable and vain-

looking death, even if they were their enemies, made shivers run through the people here.

"Th-thank you, Daoist Wu... I-..."

As Wu Long appeared before Grand Elder Qu again, she lowered her head, but he only shook his with a light smile.

"You can consider this as compensation for the trouble and giving you a slightly hard time earlier, Grand Elder Qu.

I know you were only enforcing the rules of the Sect, so I hope there are no hard feelings left. As for Grand Elder Wen's meddling... I am sure you must have heard from your Palace Master by now"

"Y-Yes, I have. Still, I should thank you and apologize for the misunderstanding before..."

"Haha, as I said, there is no need for apologies. I should go now, but I would appreciate if you take the situation below under control"

"Of course, no Demonic Beast will pass our blockade"

"Good"

Wu Long nodded to the determined eyes of the Grand Elder, and disappeared to deal with a few 8th-tier beasts that appeared out of the crevasse.

Meanwhile Grand Elder Qu commanded everyone on the wall to move into the channel, the Winter Forest Hunt as an event officially coming to an end as emergency was proclaimed with all Sect Elders and Sect Protectors of the guest Sects commanded to assist their disciples and quell the wave.
