Only Got My Martial Arts Modifier in My Old Age
Chapter 297: Chapter 153: Still Conscious? She’s Simply Superwoman!!
At that moment, within Lu Yun’s consciousness, a torrent of apocalyptic black water attempted to submerge everything.
Just as the torrent of black water was about to rampage, a sudden change occurred. Countless mountain peaks materialized from nothing deep within Lu Yun’s consciousness, floating in the vast, boundless expanse between heaven and earth.
At the same time, two colossal Jade Cyan Light Buddhas appeared, their forms so vast they seemed to prop up the heavens. The apocalyptic torrent of black water, which had been unstoppable just moments before, began to stagnate.
One by one, the floating mountain peaks pressed down, their immense weight forcing the black water back inch by inch, compelling it to contract.
The two immense Jade Cyan Light Buddhas simultaneously extended their palms—large enough to blot out the sky—and slammed them down upon the apocalyptic torrent of black water with a deafening crash.
With the first palm strike, most of the black water evaporated. With the second, the rest scattered and fled. The remaining droplets HISS-ed like dew under a scorching sun, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
In the outside world, Gong Ning’s body trembled. All the black water she had just released had been completely annihilated.
Not only that, but the battlefield was shifting in a way she couldn’t control. Lu Yun’s vast and majestic Martial Dao Will followed the path of the black water’s invasion, surging back into the depths of her mind.
The tables were turned in an instant. At that moment, the Outer Celestial Demon occupying Gong Ning’s body finally saw the full picture of the mental battlefield.
Beyond the boundless, floating mountain peaks and the two unshakeable Jade Cyan Light Buddhas, it saw something even higher.
Above these two unspeakably powerful forms of Martial Dao Will, at the highest point in the sky, a speck of purple light appeared.
At first, the purple light was small, like a distant star—faint and barely visible.
But it was drawing closer, growing larger, descending slowly with an unstoppable presence.
The purple light grew brighter and more magnificent, finally transforming into a vast, solemn, and sacredly indelible purple sun hanging high above the heavens.
The light of the purple sun scattered down, illuminating Gong Ning’s mental world. But it was no true sun; it was the phantom of an old man, his hands clasped behind his back.
He stood within the purple sun, his expression as calm as still water, his eyes slightly downcast as he surveyed everything below.
This phantom of an old man was none other than Lu Yun.
Gong Ning’s eyes flew wide, her pupils contracting to pinpoints as a shriek so sharp it nearly tore her throat erupted from her lips.
"Impossible! The Divine Thought of a True Monarch??? You’re not a Grandmaster of Divine Intent!!!"
She stared fixedly at the phantom of the old man with his hands behind his back. All the clues were rapidly falling into place in her mind, pointing to a conclusion she was utterly unwilling to accept.
This human, whom she had mistaken for a mere Grandmaster of Divine Intent, had clearly touched upon the legendary Realm that even her own kind deeply feared.
A Divine Thought True Monarch represented a level of Martial Arts beyond Martial Arts, a state of transcendence beyond mortals. It was a power that even the highest-level beings of her race dared not underestimate.
If this person was truly a Divine Thought True Monarch, then she had been walking right into a trap from the very beginning.
But something wasn’t right. Gong Ning’s shriek cut off abruptly, and she froze.
"No! If you were a true Divine Thought True Monarch, you would have discovered me the moment I arrived!"
’That’s right.’ With the control over heaven and earth that a Divine Thought True Monarch possessed, if Lu Yun were truly one, she would have been exposed the moment she stepped through the Lu Family’s gates.
’What did this mean? It meant he hadn’t truly taken that step.’ "I get it now! You haven’t taken the final step!!!"
’This person wasn’t a Divine Thought True Monarch, but he had already touched the threshold. He had already formed the nascent shape of a True Monarch’s Divine Thought and was just one step away from breaking through.’
After reaching this conclusion, the Outer Celestial Demon occupying Gong Ning’s body completely lost its mind.
’It couldn’t believe its luck. The very first opponent it chose to attack after arriving in this world just had to be someone on the verge of becoming a Divine Thought True Monarch.’
’Goddammit, are you fucking kidding me?’
Its mind was in chaos. All it wanted now was to pull its hand free from that powerful grip and get away from this old monster.
But Lu Yun’s hand seemed to be welded to its own, utterly unmoving. And those eyes, flickering with a purple radiance, were still watching it quietly.
Wisps of white smoke began to rise from Gong Ning’s body, as if something were burning on her skin.
It wasn’t a real flame, but the very essence of the black water being worn away by Lu Yun’s mental will.
The Outer Celestial Demon occupying Gong Ning’s body grit its teeth. Her once-exquisite face was now twisted beyond recognition, her features scrunched together, veins bulging on her skin.
It violently raised its other hand, the black water in its palm churning like boiling ink.
But just then, as if by some unseen design, an immense, invisible force seemed to bear down on the entire world.
The force was invisible and intangible, yet undeniably real—like a giant, unseen palm pressing down from the highest heavens, completely enveloping Gong Ning.
Gong Ning’s body trembled violently, as if an invisible mountain had been dropped onto her back.
The churning black water in her palm instantly spun out of control, flowing down her arm and onto the floor like a burst dam.
Wherever the black water splashed onto the snow-white tile floor, a SIZZLE of corrosion echoed. The white tiles visibly blackened and smoked, leaving behind an array of shocking, charred pits.
