Chapter 1915: Beyond the Gods
The consumption of the true essence of the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Escape is related to the target of the delivery.
When the target of the delivery is only one person, the consumption of true essence is huge, but it is acceptable for Lu Yu. When the target of the delivery is two people, the consumption of true essence will increase exponentially, and even Lu Yu needs the recovery of the ethereal state to achieve seamless connection.
As for more than three people, the consumption will double on the original basis for each additional person. If the number of people reaches five or six, even for Lu Yu, this is an unbearable burden. Although it is not impossible to perform, I am afraid that the whole person will collapse immediately after performing it.
Of course, this is only for living people. If the target of the delivery is a dead object, it is a completely different concept. Otherwise, Lu Yu would not have been able to roll up a large amount of earth through the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Escape in the Great Rui Imperial Capital and directly suppress Mr. Kou who wanted to escape.
It can be seen from this that the more targets the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Escape delivers, the greater the consumption.
This rule also holds true in reverse. When there are fewer targets to be delivered, or even zero targets, the consumed true essence will reach the minimum. For a cultivator like Lu Yu who has an extremely powerful sea of qi, it is almost negligible.
It is for this reason that Lu Yu can split the light continuously, because there is no delivery target at all on the colorful light band he separated at this time.
Originally, such an operation has no meaning. Although he can split the light continuously, no matter how many times he splits the light, it will not affect the final landing point and running trajectory.
But the strong light launched by the old man at the moment is tracked through the characteristics of the five elements of heaven and earth. The trajectory of the colorful light band is like a fuse that attracts the offensive of the strong light. In this case, the originally meaningless operation has extraordinary significance.
Although the opponent made a countermeasure in an instant, he also completed the response in an instant. In terms of response ability alone, Lu Yu's response is not inferior to that of the opponent.
"Hmph, a dying struggle!"
The old man snorted coldly and raised his hands again, but this time he raised both hands at the same time.
Lu Yu's response was indeed brilliant, but this way of coping could not last long. Although the empty target could minimize the consumption of true energy, the mental loss caused by distraction was inevitable. Therefore, the current fight between the two sides had actually evolved into a game of mental thoughts.
The old man had full confidence in such a game. In the long years of the past, he had communicated with the gods in the void many times and listened to countless oracles. His mental thoughts had been trained to be extremely powerful... He believed that he was definitely the person closest to God in the world.
The other party wanted to escape in this way. This was completely a show of skill before an expert and overestimating one's own ability!
In an instant, the old man's ten fingers emitted strong light at the same time and shot towards Lu Yu in mid-air.
The ten strong lights were fast and slow, and in a clear order. Even if the first few were confused by Lu Yu's split light, the remaining ones could still track Lu Yu and Madam Ru to death.
Seeing this, Lu Yu waved his hands again, his movements were fast and elegant, full of a strange rhythmic beauty, like playing an elegant guqin, but what he plucked was not the strings, but the laws of heaven and earth in this world.
Suddenly, the colorful light bands were divided into four again, not one of them was divided into four, but each of them was divided into four, and in a blink of an eye, it became sixteen colorful light bands circling in the air, which was several more than the strong light launched by the old man.
"Huh?"
The old man couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he didn't take it too seriously, and sneered: "Let me see how capable you are!"
After that, he also waved his hands repeatedly, and every time he waved, ten strong lights shot out.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was already filled with countless strong lights and countless colorful light bands, densely packed and intertwined.
Facing the many strong light attacks of the old man, Lu Yu could only split the light continuously, and the operation of his internal breath and the driving of his mind almost reached the extreme...
Tracking and counter-tracking, interception and counter-interception, all kinds of chaotic scenes emerged one after another, and one after another wonderful battle of wits took turns in the void.
...
A hundred miles away, Xu Zhiyang and others followed and saw the chaotic scene in front of them, and they stopped in place.
"After all, it's still a step late. The kid has reached the main altar..."
"However, the chief hall master seems to have taken action!"
"Don't let anything go wrong..."
"The chief hall master has already taken action, what else can go wrong?"
"Don't worry about the others, but I'm afraid it will affect the ceremony of the advent of the gods..."
...
For a while, everyone was talking about it, not knowing whether to continue moving forward or stay where they are and wait and see.
"Xu Shensi, among all of us, only you have dealt with Lu Yu, and you are the only one who knows him most clearly. What do you think we should do now?" A Tianhuang Realm expert said to Xu Zhiyang.
Xu Zhiyang frowned and sneered: "I know him best? Are you kidding, Zheng Shensi? I think you know him better. At least before today, I didn't know his real name was Lu Yu!"
At this point, Xu Zhiyang has also understood that he was completely tricked by his colleagues. In fact, the Hades Temple had already obtained information about Lu Yu from the Thousand Eyes God, knowing that he had an extraordinary origin and was the person the God had specifically asked to be captured alive, but no one told him all this. Instead, they deliberately sent him to the Great Evil Empire, hoping to use him to test Lu Yu's depth.
This was due to both the God's instructions to capture Lu Yu alive and the factional struggle within the Hades Temple, but in short, he was the one who was sacrificed... Fortunately, he was lucky enough. In the end, he not only escaped danger, but also captured the pure blood of the Guanlan clan alive, which reversed his original embarrassing position in one fell swoop.
Zheng Shensi heard Xu Zhiyang's dissatisfaction and smiled and said, "Why is Xu Shensi still brooding over such a small matter? I have already explained it. There was a reason for it. It was classified as a top secret at the time. Only a few people in the entire Hades Temple knew about it, so I didn't tell you..."
"Now that the matter has long passed, you have also turned a disaster into a blessing. It is the pure blood of the Guanlan clan that you brought back from the Great Evil Empire that made it possible for the Thousand Eyes God to descend to the world. As long as today's descending ceremony is completed, you will be the most popular person in front of the God. Why bother about it?"
Xu Zhiyang snorted coldly, and finally did not pursue the matter. He silently observed the chaotic scene in front of him for a moment, and finally said: "Although the trajectory of Lu Afeng's escape method is ever-changing at this time, the final landing point has been determined... We don't need to waste time here, just go to the landing point and wait for him!"
Zheng Shensi was stunned.
Although they could see the general direction of the final landing point of the colorful light belt, the struggle between Lu Yu and the chief hall master had not yet been decided. If Lu Yu was caught by the strong light of the chief hall master here, there would be no future... How did Xu Zhiyang know that Lu Yu would definitely escape?
"Are you sure?" Zheng Shensi said in surprise.
You know, the two sides are now playing a game of mind and consciousness, and the chief hall master is very good at this. In fact, it was his strategy that dragged the opponent into such a situation, so as not to be disturbed by the opponent to the advent ceremony... Zheng Shensi would never believe that the chief hall master who was comparable to the gods would lose to others in this regard!
Xu Zhiyang was silent for a moment, and his mind couldn't help but recall the scene in the Suyuyun Pond where he was trapped by the other party with a series of rings. That painful and desperate experience still makes him feel scared...
Perhaps, the chief hall master's consciousness is enough to match the gods, but this guy named Lu Yu, his consciousness has long surpassed the gods...
Finally, he shook his head gently: "He will definitely escape..."
After saying that, there was no more extra words, and he flew straight in the predicted direction in advance.
