It seems at the next moment... this chaotic will would directly obliterate me!
"What the hell... is this thing?"
For the first time, terror appeared in Lu Sheng’s heart.
However, just when Lu Sheng felt terrified, he discovered that inside the Seal of Brilliance, there were originally three marks left by Liu Yao’s power.
At this moment, one of these marks directly dissipated.
Following this, a powerful life energy erupted from the Seal of Brilliance, instantly enveloping the chaotic will.
Under the intense life force’s encasement, the chaotic will, miraculously, dissolved.
Gradually, the life force dissipated, along with the chaotic will, disappearing into this world as if it never existed.
"This is... senior sister’s method taking effect."
Lu Sheng returned to his senses, yet his eyes still held a trace of horror.
"Just now, that chaotic will, even Senior Brother Yang Zhenyun and Senior Brother Kong Linghui didn’t bring such an intense sense of crisis to me."
"But it was instantly obliterated by the mark left by senior sister."
"Senior sister’s power... how high has it reached?"
Lu Sheng’s heart surged, and he couldn’t help but recall the time senior sister exchanged blows with Yang Zhenyun and the others. He vaguely felt that senior sister had held back.
Now, witnessing this scene, Lu Sheng was even more certain that senior sister was definitely hiding her strength!
Otherwise, the scene that just occurred wouldn’t be something a low-level sixth-stage Transcendent could easily handle.
"My senior sister... seems not so simple at the sixth stage!"
Lu Sheng whispered to himself, gazing at the chaotic will that had dissipated, paused for a moment before walking out of the Seal of Brilliance and placing it into the Profound Ring.
During this, Chen Moyun and Wu Shan hadn’t noticed anything, even the burst of life energy was regarded as automatically emanating from the Seal of Brilliance.
As for the chaotic will... even Lu Sheng needed the amplification of the Seal of Brilliance’s perception to detect it, so others would be far less likely to notice.
"The demonic entity, resolved!"
Chen Moyun smiled, looking at Lu Sheng.
"Lu Sheng, thank you!"
Eliminating the demonic entity was originally Chen Moyun’s task, yet he hardly made a move, leaving Lu Sheng to handle it all.
Lu Sheng waved his hand, indifferent, as his attention was entirely focused on the trace of chaotic will from earlier.
"A fifth-stage demonic entity... How did it possess such formidable power? Could it be..."
Lu Sheng seemed to have thought of something, and a flash of insight crossed his mind.
"The Lord of Ascension!"
Demonic entities emerged from failed Ascension Ceremonies. They failed because they couldn’t withstand the gaze and chaotic will of the Lord of Ascension.
The chaotic will exploding from the demonic entity after its death must have originated from the Lord of Ascension.
"The Lord of Ascension... Ascension Factions..."
Lu Sheng couldn’t help but contemplate deeply.
With the demonic entity slain by Lu Sheng, Chen Moyun’s task was perfectly completed, and Wu Shan also took back the other fourth-stage Transcendents.
Originally, Wu Shan planned to lavishly entertain Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun to forge a good relationship but was refused by Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng returned to Qiming City, alongside Jiang He.
Seeing the familiar city, streets, and school, Lu Sheng’s mind couldn’t help but become dazed.
"It’s been... ten years now!"
Lu Sheng whispered while constantly reminiscing about the surroundings.
After a while, Lu Sheng turned to Jiang He and gently asked, "So, Old Master Li is really dead?"
During the return journey to Qiming City, Jiang He had thoroughly informed Lu Sheng about the recent changes in the city.
Li Mo was naturally mentioned.
However, Li Mo was ultimately just a first-stage Qi Blood Martial Artist, with limited life expectancy. Ten years ago, his longevity was already nearing its end; only due to cultivating Longevity Posture was he able to maintain a fairly good condition in his final years.
As time passed, Li Mo eventually died of old age.
Luckily, after Lu Sheng left, Jiang He took good care of Li Mo, allowing him to live his last years in relative comfort.
The final period of his life was peacefully passed without any disturbances.
As for Jiang He and Gao Feng, Jiang He being a fourth-stage Golden Body Martial Artist had many years left, and in Qiming City, he was almost like a local king.
While Gao Feng, having trained Lu Sheng, wasn’t conscripted and remained at Yucai High School, teaching batch after batch of Martial Arts Class students.
Later, Lu Sheng, accompanied by Jiang He, visited Gao Feng, who was delighted at Lu Sheng’s return but was filled with emotion upon learning of his current achievements.
Finally, before leaving, Lu Sheng went to a familiar eatery and saw his old friend.
Zhao Feng was now almost thirty years old, married to the eatery owner’s daughter, and had taken over the owner’s position.
The two sat at a table in the eatery, surrounded by beer bottles.
Zhao Feng, drunk, said, "Next time... when will you return again?"
Lu Sheng gaze calmly at the drunk Zhao Feng. As a fifth-stage Transcendent, the beer had no effect on him.
Lu Sheng looked at Zhao Feng again, then raised his head to gaze at the starry sky.
"Perhaps... never again?"
As his voice fell, Zhao Feng ultimately succumbed to the alcohol, heavily slumping onto the table.
