Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality
chapter-272

Lin Luoran makes a cut with her sword, and the black curtain, already vulnerable due to the slit, is ripped off a giant crack.

Crystal and Riddick are Blood Lines of higher rank. Therefore, Alice becomes the first one to be attacked. As the sun shines on her, her face as beautiful as Princess Sisi is burnt and smoked, her uncovered hands full of swelling blisters. Alice shrieks and is surrounded by the awaken Huaxia cultivators and killed with sword.

Everybody is in high spirits because of this. As soon as the tentacles monster is gone, they are set free. Even some cultivators choked with purple faces are saved by their partners quickly.

The bat monster has already moved out of the state of lifeless into fury and panic. “How dare you—”

Lin Luoran stands with sword in her hand, Goldie flying over her head. The outer surrounding people burst out laughter, all cheering “Hail Master Lin!”. Seeing this, an ancient proverb pops inside Riddick’s head—your time has passed!

Naturally, the bat monster wants to eat Lin Luoran alive, yet it cannot move an inch—it is not because of the bald pen, but the mysterious force from Tao of nature locking on it.

The clear sky suddenly changes. With the sun still in the sky, a swirling cloud pops over the Textile School, sparkling while shooting out lightnings.

This oppression makes not only the bat monster, but half-monster Crystal with strong hostility scared from the bottom of the heart.

Is this the dark cloud?

It hits Lin Luoran that the invincible power of thunder and lightning can be the omen of Heaven’s Doom!

“Back off!” The dark cloud is by no means for her, a little cultivator at the level of Laying Foundation. It is mostly for the bat. Therefore, Lin Luoran doesn’t want everyone to stay here to take the thunder and summons the cultivators out.

It turns out that although being panicked, the cultivators are scared of the dark cloud and jumps out of the wall with trembling hands and legs. The dark cloud stops at the distance, making no move to come after them.

It really comes for the bat monster—

“Back off! I said back off!” Lin Luoran watches the bat monster alertly while telling the cultivators to back off to leave a safe distance.

It is very dramatic to see that a moment ago they were combating to death yet a moment later the black curtain is ripped off and the dark cloud shows, appearing to punish the bat monster.

Who said that Tao of the nature is in disorder? It will not tolerate such a monster!

…

“Are you alright?” Seeing Lin Luoran flies out, Liu Zheng asks.

Lin Luoran nods, eyes cast to the distance, speaking in low voice. “I’m afraid your master has finished his closed-door training.”

Many years have passed since the last Heaven’s Doom took place in the State of Huaxia. Only when a great monster takes shape and cultivators break their essence and complete gathering vitality will the dark cloud appear. At first, the crazy Taoist thought there was someone gathering vitality in Zu area. Feeling the power of the dark cloud, he had to come all the way from the west suburban area of Rong City, regardless of the Soul Wood. As cultivators at the level of Bearing Essence can travel very fast, it only took several minutes before Lin Luoran feels his coming.

“Is someone gathering vitality?” The crazy Taoist comes on the clouds, staring at the bat monster under the dark cloud.

Nobody knows about him. Perceiving that Lin Luoran is respectful, they guess in their hearts that this is the legendary master at the level of Bearing Essence. Therefore, no one dares to disturb them and pretends not seeing him at all.

Lin Luoran and the cultivators backed for more than a mile. The oppression from the dark cloud makes cultivators with low ability tremble. She whispers, “Sir, what does that mean?”

The crazy Taoist explains the appearance of the dark cloud to her. She shakes her head. “I’m afraid the bat monster belongs to neither of those cases!” She tells him about what happened in the secret land of magnetic mountain without anything concerning the bead. He exclaims that they got really lucky.

“You really have the gut to do that. A monster whose spiritual mind possessing a body can conjure Heaven’s Doom can cause mass turmoil. I’m afraid you are kept alive only because you are useful to it.”

Lin Luoran freezes. Hearing what he just said, she feels that she was thinking too much of herself to rely only on the bead.

If she and Goldie hadn’t broken the black curtain together, maybe the bat monster might have other tricks to kill them.

Considering that it was all about luck, Lin Luoran feels frightened by hindsight.

However, the crazy Taoist points to the inside for her to see.

…

The bat monster is so strictly targeted by the dark cloud that it cannot move while Crystal is not doing so well herself. Only Riddick flips his wings and finds that he can actually move.

“Crystal, this cloud seems so strange. We might as well go somewhere else!” Seeing her blank expression, he tries to hold her hand. As soon as he touches her arm, a strong force of electricity passes through, which nearly makes him fall.

He becomes anxious. She’s not moving not because she doesn’t want to but because she cannot.

He couldn’t figure out why he is harmless against the weird cloud while Crystal looks like she is destined to be punished. It must be the bat. Riddick casts his eyes on the bat monster. “What have you done to my sister!”

It laughs arrogantly. “She has received too much help from me. Therefore, the dark cloud perceives her and me to be a whole being. It seems she needs to stay to share the Heaven’s Doom with me.

Crystal smiles bitterly. She has killed a lot of Blood Lines secretly for the past few years. If it had not been the bat monster, her ability would not have been so great that she wants to take the risk. She killed so many Blood Lines and ends up having the Heaven’s Doom?!

She is not content… She is far from being content. Crystal looks at Lin Luoran resentfully. Her admiration of beauty transforms to hatred.

Her mouth moves, speaking in a sound wave that no one can hear except for the bat monster and Riddick. “Brother, we have been brother and sister for hundreds of years. You have been put up with me. Today, allow me to go rogue for the final time. Could you please promise me something?”

Do vampires have tears? Riddick feels his face colder. He figures what Crystal is going to say and nods in tears.

Crystal smiles again. The flowing golden rings on her wings make her remarkably beautiful under the black cloud.

“Baron Riddick. Please swear on Cain that you will do your best to keep our hallow safe!”

“I keep it safe with my life and pass our blood line for generations, your distinguished… Baron Crystal!” His sentence is broken by sadness. He kneels in the middle air.

…

“What are they doing?” Wen Runlan has nothing to fear since he knows nothing, pulling the clothes of the dirty Taoist near him. In fact, nobody knows who the crazy Taoist is.

He smacks his lips and says, “She is bestowing her heritage.”

Heritage? Wen Runlan feels it undependable, running to notice Wen Guanjing. These monsters may plan to run. Who knows if this Heaven’s Doom will work or not!

A ring falls from Crystal’s neck into Riddick’s palm.

The bat monster jeers coldly. “Why don’t you stay with me too!”

Crystal shrieks, “No, you won’t!”

She forces herself to move, crashing Riddick far out of the thunder zone.

As the target moves, the dark cloud sets forth the punishment immediately. With the dull thundering comes the purple lightening as wide as a bucket. The bat monster didn’t see its coming by Crystal’s sudden move while its body is held tight by swooping Crystal. The lightning is so sudden that even the crazy Taoist is in shock.

Seeing that Riddick is trying to escape in turmoil, Wen Guanjing and other cultivators come to surround him. Drowned in the grief of losing his sister while having the hallow, Riddick cannot be stopped by Wen Guanjing and the other cultivators surrounding him.

Watching the Heaven’s Doom with his very eyes and feeling the destructing power, the crazy Taoist perceives this as the only opportunity in his life.

Letting go a dispensable vampire is no match for feeling the Heaven’s Doom, considered the crazy Taoist. He even drags Lin Luoran, saying, “Watch closely. This may be the last Heaven’s Doom witnessed by cultivators on earth.”

…

The purple lightning shoots down with invincible force!

The wind and cloud are all mixed by the dark cloud and the sky of Rong City has changed its color. Every strike is more powerful than the last, shaking the earth fiercely.

At this moment, the nearby counties have seen the changing of the weather. The rain is pouring down and the animals at home are frightened and anxious. Even Goldie lands behind Lin Luoran frightfully. As it is also not human, if it takes shape in the future, it will suffer this too.

“The Ninth Heaven’s Doom! What kind of creature the bat monster is that it calls for the Ninth Heaven’s Doom with a split of its spiritual mind…” The crazy Taoist says to himself, eyes squinting.

Maybe only the bat monster held by Crystal at the cost of life can answer this question—it’s not because its ability is great. It is because somebody has sworn on Tao of nature to cast the “Eternal Doom” on their bloodline!

The Tao of nature? The bat monster reveals its last sarcasm. As it has been used by human, it cannot be fair since the beginning!

I refuse to obey! I will never give up! I will bring the vampire bat back to this world! Thousands years of hostility, as it perceives, makes the mistreat of thousands of vampire bat, or the half-spirited black shadow Venerable, force the Ninth dark cloud to slow down.

This is but an abnormality escaping others’ notice. The Thunder Doom is delayed only for a split second, which is enough to change a lot of things.

The dark cloud holds great force to strike for the last time. A purple lightening more desperate than the last eight strikes finally cast down—

All people back down. Riddick holds on tight the ring in his hand and breaks out of the surrounding cultivators. This Blood Line with pride doesn’t look back. Naturally, he doesn’t notice that the ring in his hand blinks red light secretly.
