nChapter 473: Shadow of The Past

nAfter getting up, Sun Jiaolong waved his hand, and a halberd appeared in his hand, shining with Innate Laws.

n'Superior-level Innate Treasure,' thought Li Jun. 'This guy is worthy of being the Son of Destiny.'

nThe Superior-level Innate Treasure is equal to an Emperor Artifact from a Second-Class Emperor, and without its harsh conditions to use or possible backlash.

nThe reason that Innate Treasures are so valuable is that they have low requirements for the users. Whether it is Emperor Artifacts, Dao Artifacts, or Immortal Artifacts, a certain level of strength, cultivation level, and even Qi Luck Protection is needed to use.

nOtherwise, cultivators will suffer terrible consequences when using these Immortal-like magical weapons.

nThe only exception to this rule is when the artifacts are ideally suited for a person's physique. A perfect example is Su Ya's Seven Emotions Six Desires Books and her physique, or Wang Wei and the 8 Trigram Turtle Shell.

nHowever, this rule or logic does not apply to Innate Treasures. Their owner can use them easily and without consequences, and they are great teachers of Laws.

nOf course, no cultivators can use the real power of these weapons without the appropriate cultivation level–just like Emperor Artifacts or other Immortal Grade Weapons.

nNevertheless, they are still better and more potent than Quasi-Emperor Artifacts.

nWith a calm look, Li Jun placed his spear away before a blue one with Qilin designs all over its shaft. The spear was a middle-level Innate Treasure that he received from the trial.

nAlthough it was two grades lower than his opponent, he could use his overwhelming strength to make up the gap. Not long after having this thought, Sun Jiaolong's armor also changed from golden to dark purple.

nWith a glance, Li Jun knew that this new armor was no longer a Quasi-Emperor Tier but another Superior-Grade Innate Treasure, so his lisps twitched lightly.ᴘᴀ ᴅᴀ n ᴏ ᴠʟ

nFurthermore, the Human Destiny Sword was still enhancing the armor with Qi Luck.

n'Son of Destinies can be disgusting,' he thought to himself. From what he knew, even his big brother–who is a person with tremendous luck–only has two Innate Treasures, and all of them are only high-level ones.

nBut Sun Jiaolong has two of them with higher grades, and this may not be his limit.

nSo, after shaking his head before rushing toward his opponent. Midway through the fly, Li Jun had to stop before teleporting away. As he floated in the distance, he looked at the space tear in his path.

n'Void Storm.'

nA natural phenomenon with a 0.000001% probability of occurring outside of the Space's Turbulent Regions. And yet, it appeared today, and right in front of his flying path.'

nSuddenly, Li Jun raised his head to see hundreds of thousands of meteors falling from the sky toward his position, and he squinted his eyes. The Myriad Emperor World is protected by a natural barrier that would destroy all the debris from the Endless Void.

nAlthough sometimes, some things could pass through, but those occasions are also considered statistical anomalies.

n'So, the advance use of Luck Dao is Probability Manipulation.'

nHe stabbed his spear into the sky, creating a powerful shockwave that atomized all the meteors. And before Sun Jiaolong could react, another Li Jun appeared from the ground behind him and kicked him into the sky towards the original.

nThe original Li Jun then stabbed Sun Jiaolong. pᴀda nᴏvel

nWill Invasion

nWhen his clones kicked Sun Jiaolong, Li Jun had determined the level of the defensive power of that armor. And he concluded that it would take him a great deal of effort to penetrate it using usual methods.

nSo, he used the technique he learned in the trial. Will Invasion allows him to refine his opponent's equipment forcibly. He can't take control of an Innate Treasure from someone on the level of Sun Jiaolong.

nHowever, the confrontation between the two's imprints will temporarily reduce the effect of the artifact. And that split moment is all Li Jun needed in any battle.

nBlood Riot

nSun Jiaolong screamed, his voice echoing in the heavens. He felt his blood rushing out of his body without his control, painting his armor a few more shades of red.

nAdditionally, a terrifying Slaughter Aura invaded his Primordial Spirit, destroying his mind and spirit. All he could hear was the scream and terror of billions of people dying.

nHe could feel their pain, anger, hatred, and reluctance to leave the mortal plane, along with their loved ones.

nBoom!

nSun Jiaolong landed on the ground, creating a large crater and a massive shockwave from his landing place. A Golden Dragon then appeared to surround his Primordial Spirit, nourishing and protecting him.

nHowever, Li Jun did not want to give his opponent any time. So, he activated all the poisons and cursed his attack contained to drain Sun Jiaolong's vitality and further weaken him.

nFurthermore, he stabbed his spear once more to create an enormous blood spear that would incapacitate his opponent. Unfortunately, right before his attack landed, a shield appeared to block his attack.

nLi Jun looked in the distance to see an ordinary older man floating in the sky.

n'An Unknown Quasi-Emperor.'

n

"I don't know who you are, nor do I care,

" said Li Jun, who was very disgusting with the Son of Destiny's Luck.

"But if you intervene in this battle, you will be the enemy of the Dao Opening Sect and be hunted down until you and your family are utterly annihilated.

"

n

"Youngsters now a day have no respect for the elderly,

" muttered the older man as he caressed his beard.

"The Crown Prince saved my life, so I owe him Karma. No matter what, I have to take him away.

"

nLi Jun did not say anything else but threw his spear with all his strength, making the older man's face became very ugly. He barely reacted to raised his hand to block the attack.

nHowever, a hidden talisman on the spear suddenly activated and opened a space crack to send him to some faraway and unknown destination. Then, Li Jun spread his Battle Will in the entire Domain to block the space.

nFinally, he looked at Sun Jiaolong. A third eye appeared on Li Jun's forever before firing a black beam full of the power of destruction. Sun Jiaolong resisted the attack with his armor while squirming on the ground.

nSubsequently, he used all the Origin Essence in his Divine Sea, which was Li Jun's goal all along. Without energy to power up the Innate Treasure, Sun Jiaolong has to use his Spiritual Power or his life span.

nLi Jun stood in front of the defeated Sun Jiaolong, observing the Human Sword Destiny in the latter's Sea of Consciousness. He tried using his Primordial Spirit to take the weapon away forcibly, but it resisted his action.

nSo, Li Jun pondered killing Sun Jiaolong to take the sword away. However, he also discovered that the sword was connected to the latter's Primordial Spirit.

nEven if he destroyed the latter's fleshly body, the sword could run away with Sun Jiaolong's Primordial Spirit–just like it did against Jian Wushuang.

nSo, the current issue is whether his means were enough to prevent this from happening. After thinking about it for a moment, Li Jun decided to be cautious. He took out a talisman and contacted someone.

nA few minutes later, he felt an unimaginable force break through his Space Blockade. Then, Wang Wei appeared next to him, making Li Jun's lisp twitch.

nραꪒⅆα ꪒꪫꪥꫀꪶ He thought he had somewhat made the gap but understood he still had a long way to go. Nevertheless, he was more motivated. He still had a long way to go to ultimately pass the Hidden Trial and could still participate when needed.

nMeanwhile, Wang Wei looked at the surroundings as the entire battle flashed in his eyes.

n'This kid's strength has greatly increased–especially his Battle IQ.'

nWang Wei believed that he was leagued above Li Jun in terms of raw power and ability. But in terms of Battle Awareness, he was outclassed. So, the competitive side of him appeared, and he decided to test whether that was true later on.

nFinally, his eyes landed on the pale Sun Jiaolong on the ground, who had a smirk on his face.

n

"So what if I am defeated? The Human Sword Destiny chose me, and only me. There is nothing any of you can do about it.

"

nWang Wei remained calm while Li Jun shook his head.

"In the end, you are the same as all the other Son of Destiny: always cocky and overconfident.

"

nWang Wei did not waste time and activated his ability to become a Son of Destiny. In an instant, he forcibly removed the position from Sun Jiaolong and used his enormous Spiritual Power to pull the sword from him.

n

"No, no, no,

" yelled Sun Jiaolong as he watched the golden sword slowly coming out of his body. So, he tried to resist, but it was to no avail. In the end, he gritted his teeth before screaming.

n

"What are you waiting for? Don't forget our agreement.

"

nThen, to the surprise of Wang Wei and Li Jun, a fourth person suddenly appeared not far from them, and none of them realized that they were there.

n

"Ji Su?

" said Li Jun as he looked at the pale-looking middle-aged man with messy hair; his appearance changed so much that he was almost unrecognizable.

n

"I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time,

" said Ji Su as he looked straight at Wang Wei, ignoring Li Jun or anyone else for that matter.

n'Qi of Calamity,' thought Wang Wei when he first looked at Ji Su. 'And a very powerful and hidden one at that.'

nThen, he frowned as he realized that something or someone secretly protected Ji Su. So, he could not see his Fate Line or even his future. So, he looked at Sun Jiaolong on the ground and read his Fate Line.

nHe learned that the latter used a Luck Dao Technique called Path of Victory, which allowed him to see ways he could defeat his opponent. And apparently, Ji Su was the solution.

nWang Wei was interested in that technique, so he remembered it to learn for later. Unfortunately, he did not know how Ji Su would win against him. So, billions of thoughts flashed across his mind in less than a nanosecond.

n'Could he be my trial?'
