Chapter 255 255. The Wonderful Uses of the 'Scripture of Enlightenment Through Hard Work
Kotaro Komura didn't have the physique of the Golden Body Realm, and with a thunderous roar that resembled the collapse of heaven and earth, he was blasted into three pieces on the spot.
The upper half with his head flew nearly a hundred meters into the sky, spinning countless circles before crashing down.
His lower jaw was gone, his tongue hung out, one of his eyes was blinded, and his body was charred all over.
But the resilient vitality of the Innate Realm allowed him to not die on the spot, and he was still writhing and screaming tragically.
The next second, his entire head was blown to bits by the Fire God Cannon.
The one firing was none other than Li Pei, who was feeling extremely excited at the moment.
Seeing the familiar missile explosion, she became even more certain—that the person who acted on the day of the Eternal Life Banquet was definitely Lu Yao!
"This is my man!"
Li Pei felt incredibly proud, her admiration for her capable and gentle husband grew even stronger, and the strength in her hands also increased significantly as she controlled the Fire God Cannon, bombarding the enemies with a downpour of cannonballs, blasting them to smithereens.
Liao Ya and Liao Qe were also not idle, subjecting the enemies to a saturated fire cover. For a moment, severed limbs and chunks of flesh flew all over the place.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The enemies howled in the Izumo language, filled with despair. Under the firearms assault of Spirit Refining Experts, any attempt to dodge seemed like they were deliberately catching the cannonballs themselves.
Half a minute later, the enemies were reduced to pieces of broken flesh on the ground.
The only remaining Innate Expert—Long Cang, though seriously injured, moved with extraordinary agility when fleeing for his life. He abandoned his sword and ran several hundred meters using his hands and feet.
The three women did not pursue, as a Giant Iron Bird had already descended from the sky.
The moment Long Cang saw the fighter jet, he was stunned, so frightened that he even forgot to run.
The machine gun, with a firing rate of 8000 rounds per minute, took less than two seconds to turn him into a cloud of blood mist.

After landing, the moment Lu Yao got out, there was a beautiful figure throwing herself into his arms, it was Li Pei.
Excited, she exclaimed, "The one who blasted apart the Heavenly Demon Form on the day of the Eternal Life Banquet was you, right!?"
"Alas, unworthy as I am, it was indeed I—" Lu Yao admitted openly and honestly.
Upon hearing this, Li Pei immediately kissed him.
After kissing for a while, Lu Yao mumbled vaguely, "When we get home tonight..."
"No, no!" Liao Qe, hands on her hips, declared righteously, "Tonight is my turn!"
Li Pei quickly separated from her husband and said with a blush and a laugh, "Don't worry, I won't compete with you."
Lu Yao wrapped an arm around each of them and said, "No need to fight, we can ascend to paradise together... Ahem!!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was simultaneously punched by the two ladies, "In your dreams! X2"
Liao Ya, watching the three of them causing a ruckus, sighed helplessly and went to clean up the battlefield by herself.
First, she found Long Cang's Longquan Sword, and with a flick of her finger, a clear Dragon's Chant sounded.
"What a fine sword!" Liao Ya plucked a strand of hair and placed it on the edge of the sword, which severed the hair as soon as it touched the blade.
At this time, Lu Yao and the others also came over.
Li Pei took the Longquan Treasured Sword to have a look and praised, "This is the personal sword of an Innate Expert, constantly refined by True Qi, and has become incredibly sharp! Judging by the design, it was forged during the Tang dynasty and is also an antique."
The others took turns playing with it, and decided to give it to Yu Yanmei to use.
~~~~~~~~
Then they went straight to Kotaro Komura's corpse. The most conspicuous item was the "Ice Jade Bracelet" on the corpse's wrist.
The corpse was charred all over, covered in bloodstains, but the bracelet shone brightly and was crystal clear, even the air around it crystallized, and its appearance alone indicated it was no ordinary object.
Seeing this familiar material, Liao Qe exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be..."
She hurriedly rushed forward to touch it, but just as she did, the cold made her teeth chatter, and her whole body trembled.
"It really is a bracelet made entirely of Ice Jade! I, being in the Marrow-Cleansing Realm, wouldn't dare to touch it!" Liao Qe felt as if she had been plunged into a frozen lake in an instant.
Lu Yao and Li Pei, who had barely undergone the Blood-Exchange, could just manage to pick up the Ice Jade Bracelet, and saw that it was at least 20 times larger than the Ice Jade Ring on their hands!
"Ice Jade, an invaluable treasure!" Li Pei exclaimed in surprise, "This bracelet could be useful even for someone in the Golden Body Realm... Even if Kotaro was an Innate + Out-of-Body expert, it's still extravagant."
She could not imagine the many years of hard work and the significant role Kotaro, as the Izumo Ambassador, had played in the intelligence network.
"Anyway, getting our hands on a priceless treasure is great news~" Lu Yao said beamingly:
"Next, we'll raid the Izumo Embassy! Their elites are all dead here, we'll head straight over, and take everything useful!"
~~~~~~~~
Just as the three of them were about to commit the robbery, they saw Kotaro Komura's beheaded corpse on the ground suddenly tremble.
In the next second, a shadowy figure burst out, vaguely revealing the appearance of Kotaro Komura—it was his divine soul!
Komura himself was somewhat astonished—by all logic, when a person died, they were like a snuffed-out lamp; once the flesh was destroyed, the divine soul would dissipate within three breaths.
But the amazing Ice Jade Bracelet had somehow allowed his divine soul to survive briefly, giving him the opportunity for revenge!
At this moment, the soul was silent and fast as lightning, and without causing any physical phenomena, it plunged into Lu Yao's body in an instant!
Lu Yao immediately felt an intense pain, as if something in his head was trying to split him in two!
He called upon his Mind Force to examine his body and saw his head enveloped in a shadow that his Mind Force could not penetrate.
Kotaro Komura, full of hate, sneered, "Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"
The three women noticed something was wrong and anxiously gathered around.
Li Pei's face turned pale, but she tried to remain calm and said, "This is soul possession... we need to find a way to deal with divine souls... I'll go to the palace for help... I'll ask Sect Master Zhang Yunshu..."
Lu Yao, enduring the severe pain, composedly said, "Bring over the 'Bitter Cultivation and Enlightenment Sutra', quick!"
Li Pei's eyes lit up—right, there was that! Explore more at empire
She immediately shouted, "I'll go!" and with that burst out with explosive force, shattering the ground beneath her as she shot forth, utilizing the "Star Plucking" technique!
At this moment, everyone was at the base of the mountain, less than 5 kilometers from the compound.
Li Pei, not caring about the consequences, burst forth at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour and returned in less than two minutes holding the Lead Box.
The sweat on her body evaporated from her body heat, turning into a mist of body scent that rose around her.
At this time, Kotaro Komura was still chattering in Lu Yao's mind, "It's no use, prepare to become an idiot!"
Lu Yao ignored him and immediately took out the "Bitter Cultivation and Enlightenment Sutra" to read.
In an instant, the only thing in his vision was the symbol of an "eye within a triangle," and countless voices in his mind recited rapidly:
"Unify with the divine! All things become one! Unify with the divine! All things become one!..."
The voices were extremely faint, like the quivering of a hair or a strand of hair falling to the ground, so quiet that one might think it was their own thoughts and ideas...
Moreover, the cadence was extremely fast, with nearly a hundred repetitions in a single second, yet clearly infiltrating deep into the mind.
In essence, this was a form of pollution and attack targeting the divine soul!
An ordinary person would be brainwashed in an instant, utterly convinced of these thoughts!
But Lu Yao had seen it countless times before and had some resistance, allowing him to grit his teeth and hold on.
Komura, experiencing this for the first time and with some understanding of what it was, screamed in panic:
"Stop! Stop it!!"
"This is a demon! Just let me die, I don't want to be captured by It..."
Of course, Lu Yao would not stop. Though reading the scripture made him feel dizzy and nauseous, the swelling pain in his mind was greatly reduced and was becoming lighter and lighter.
About half a minute later, the sensation of a foreign entity in his body completely vanished, and his Mind Force could once again illuminate his mind—Kotaro Komura had disappeared without a trace!
Lu Yao let out a roar, using his willpower to close the book and put it back into the Lead Box.
He was covered in cold sweat, with his head still buzzing as if his skull was being struck by a copper basin.
This move bordered on injuring the enemy a thousand and self eight hundred, but to kill Komura, he didn't care about the consequences.
Plus, it wasn't a wasted effort. At this moment, Lu Yao felt as if he had suddenly gained a tremendous "Mind Force."
He extended his hand towards the Lead Box and, after a little while, the Box trembled and levitated into the air!
Li Pei was both shocked and overjoyed, "Psychokinesis!? That's an ability of the Out-of-Body Realm! Did you have another stroke of luck!?"
Lu Yao nodded, "This bastard tried to harm me, but ended up being killed by the 'Bitter Cultivation and Enlightenment Sutra' instead, and left me with a pure surge of Mind Force. What a great guy, saved me a decade or more of hard work!"
What do you think?
