"Boom!"
In the shocked gazes of the crowd, Luo Yu's massive figure, invoking the Law of Heaven and Earth, forcibly lifted up the ground beneath him.
Dust billowed, and stones shattered.
"What... what kind of Divine Power is this?"
"It's... it's terrifying."
"What is he trying to do?"
As arrogant as Cao Ritian and the others had been previously, now they were completely docile, with the Bone Penetrating Nails still not removed from their bodies.
As a technique from the Mountain Lord of two thousand years ago, it wasn't going to be easily solved by later generations.
Seeing the fierce and intimidating appearance of Luo Yu now, who would dare to ask him for help?
"It can't just be that he has too much strength and nowhere to use it, merely showing off his muscles to scare us, right?" Zhu Qing was full of doubts.
"No, Big Brother Xia doesn't have such boring hobbies," Pan Ren shook his head in denial.
"You sure changed your tune quickly there," Zhu Qing said with an incredulous face.
"Don't tease me, Brother, you're exactly the same, are you not?" Pan Ren rolled his eyes in response.
With a loud boom—
Luo Yu forcibly lifted up the ground and pushed it aside; the earth-shaking movement gradually stilled and the dust swiftly dispersed under the spellcasting of the onlookers.
They quickly looked downward.
Confusion was written all over their faces as they looked at Luo Yu, perplexed.
There was nothing beneath the surface, just shattered stone and dark soil, nothing special at all.
But in their eyes, Luo Yu had shown his oddities time and again, so he surely wouldn't do something so meaningless.
"Big Brother Xia, what exactly are you doing?" Cao Ritian couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.
Zhu Qing and Pan Ren exchanged a look, their faces full of derision, whispering quietly, "I didn't expect that show-off to change his tone so quickly."
"Is this what they call a wise man adapting to changes?"
The giant Luo Yu overlooked the inquiring Cao Ritian from above without answering, summoning an Ancient Spirit.
"Rustling—"
A mighty wind whipped up around them, and the large figure of a man dressed in an animal skin kilt, bare-chested, with dark bronze muscles appeared behind Luo Yu, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, radiating an incomparably keen aura.
What was most peculiar was the large bow he carried on his back, with an ancient hue and covered in strange patterns, as if it had existed through countless eras.
"Well, that's definitely not the Ancient Spirit who was healing us earlier; Brother Xiao Luo actually has a second Ancient Spirit?" Pan Ren couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Zhu Qing showed his teeth, "Twin Ancient Spirits? That's outrageous!"
Only Cao Ritian remained somewhat calm, taking the opportunity to boast, "Twin Ancient Spirits are indeed rare, but I've seen several, and not just twins, but sevenfold Ancient Spirits, oh."
"Hiss—" The surrounding Martial University students instantly focused their gaze on him; Cao Ritian enjoyed this attention, finding some solace that he wasn't entirely disgraced today, regaining a bit of face.
"What is he doing?"
"Brother Xiao Luo, what kind of Ancient Spirit is this? It feels like a person from ancient times."
Luo Yu, synchronized with the Ancient Spirit, twisted his footwork, drew the bow with his left arm, and pulled the string with his right hand.
Though there was no arrow on the string, as it bent, a profound black shadow appeared and solidified, drawing everyone's eyes to it.
"An ancient person... shooting an arrow..." someone murmured, then exclaimed in shock, "Could it be the legendary Hou Yi the Great God?"
"Yi?"
"The great Yi who shot down the suns? Does he really exist?"
"Impossible, right? It can't be," voices of disbelief rang out, one after another.
"Buzz—"
At that moment, the bowstring was pulled to a full crescent, and just as the black shadow became completely solid, nature's spiritual energy from all directions converged, fusing into the arrow, and a wholly black arrow, emanating a mysterious and deadly aura, formed, sending ripples through the surrounding space.
"Is he aiming at that eerie eyeball moon in the sky?"
Zhu Qing originally wanted to say it was an illusion, useless, don't shoot, that no matter what you won't hit it, but he still shut his mouth and held back.
Because that black arrow made him shiver all over, afraid of being proven wrong, he decided it was better to keep silent.
"Zap!"
Luo Yu let out a fierce shout, and the arrow soared like a Black Dragon roaring, like black lightning streaking across the sky, piercing through the heavens in an instant.
The single-eyed moon above sensed danger and immediately tried to dissolve into illusion.
But the black arrow fixed the void in place, and in a flash, pierced through the lone eye, exploding thunderously, opening up a massive black vortex in the sky.
A wretched scream echoed from the emptiness, and a blood rain of white and red mixed together fell from the sky.
"Holy shit!"
"That was ruthless."
"He really burst it."
"The Great Yi, this Ancient Spirit must be the legendary Hou Yi."
"Other than Hou Yi, there is no one with such a magical skill to shoot down the suns."
At this moment, Zhu Qing nudged Cao Ritian's arm in shock, "Old Cao, those freaks you mentioned with several Ancient Spirits, are their awakened spirits all on the level of the ancient gods like Hou Yi?"
"Do you really think that's possible?" Cao Ritian shook with fear, wondering just who exactly Xia Luo was, terrifyingly formidable.
By then, Luo Yu had dismissed the Ancient Spirit and the Law of Heaven and Earth, shrinking back down and scolding the onlookers:
"Still boasting, huh?"
"Look at the ground."
Zhu Qing was puzzled, it was just rocks, black soil, what was there to see? But when he looked down again,
The scene before their eyes suddenly changed.
Beneath them lay a vast blood-colored pit, filled with crimson blood, with a putrid smell assaulting the nostrils, the Blood Evil Qi enveloping the area, and in the center of the blood pit, a regal statue dressed in a Dragon Robe and brandishing a sword stood tall.
The statue was a hundred meters tall, with hundreds of Black Gold Chains spreading from its feet, binding a massive Black Tiger that spanned dozens of meters.
