《Adventuring In A Unique Xianxia Universe》Second Group Meeting
Advertisement
The continuous rumble of Spirit Power and flashes of blue and black electricity sparked up the whole tomb tunnel. It was non stop traps after traps, but the mixed flashes of lightning didn't slow down in the slightest.
Luke was honestly surprised at just how much barrage of attacks this tomb can throw at them.
For minutes on end, they have been using their highest speed, and after what seemed like every few meters, a trap would go off.
However, with the crushing aid of Asura Spirit Power, it didn't get too hectic for Luke's group.
After what seemed like hours of flying, Andrea's deep black eyes had brightened up.
Their end had just come up!
"Just a little more, Luke, we're right near the end," Andrea spoke to Luke while also helping keep traps at bay with her black lightning and her own Asura Spirit Power.
"Hey...yea! There! I can see the end of this tunnel!" Lingxi eyes managed to also pick up a faint change in scenery at the end.
For the final home stretch, it was then Qingyue had a flash of inspiration in her eyes. Channeling her Xiantian essence energy to a calming state, she asked Luke,
"For our links, can you also just slightly power me up through soul power? My prowess already is near the late stage of Earthen Core, so I won't need much."
Peering over to Qingyue, who was at his left, Luke had readily nodded.
He was already experienced with shared soul power because of Cang Yue. Grabbing her hand, he said, "Don't resist and do it fast so your body won't get damaged."
Promptly massive waves of newfound soul power wash over Qingyue! A blue lightning-ice aura spewed out of her in frantic electrifying crackles.
Currently, with this power, Qingyue felt as if she could match any first-level Sky Lord! But she didn't let the awe overtake her and instead channeled her Frozen Cloud Arts.
She pushed out hand upwards and with a blinding flash of ice by her hands, she said,
"Frozen Wall!"
'Chi!'
Streams of powerful blue ice blasted out from Qingyue's hand! The blue ice drilled into the ceiling, causing an immediate chain reaction.
In only mere seconds did the rest of the tunnel ceiling get encased in ice. And from behind an ice wall had dropped down from the ceiling separating Luke's group from any previous tomb traps.
Because of the massive power boost provided by Luke, Qingyue had effectively given them enough breathing room for a couple of minutes.
"Ahh, that was some quick thinking Qingyue. Now Luke, let's blast off to the end!" Cang Yue eagerly stated, making Luke hold her other hand since she was towards his right.
"Ready when you two are!" This time Lingxi took the initiative and grabbed on to Andrea's hand. Now from repeated experiences, she knew just who to rely on when Luke's hands are filled.
Luke and Andrea shared a glance as they spread out their Spirit Sense. Thanks to Qingyue, they would only need a few more meters of a frantic mad dash to beat the ice before it crumbles.
In sync, the two nodded and,
'Hua!'
Like a blue and black mixed trail, the cousins finally used their maximum soul power speed! The tombs' blue ice wall went by in a blur for the girls, and they all clenched hard on the cousins' hands.
And soon, with their blitzing speed, Luke's group managed to arrive at a vast, spacious hall. Moreover, it was precisely on time as Qingyue's blue ice gave out.

Their feets skidded on the floor in a shaky descent as they all had to take a moment to catch their breaths.
"Phew...now there's only just one more tunnel left. Eh? Hey, I don't mean to jinx it, but... don't you guys feel like something should've attacked us here?" Lingxi had pointed out as her eyes did a double-take around the hall.
"Fuuu, this looks like some kind of battle went on here. Though the only one down here beside us is those three…" Cang Yue also took in a breath going over the hall.
Patches of fresh blood-red spots stained the ground around the whole hall. Although there were no signs of battle-damaged or an intense fight here.
'Oh, I get it. Those other ones must have something that unleashes great attacks. They're already approaching the end of this tomb. It looks like they were blessed with fortune instead of death.' Spooky informed Luke, who wasn't very surprised at the news.
'Well, for the Ouyang Clan, I'm not surprised they have powerful tools for their younger generations. But I'm sure they won't make it to the end.'
After taking a moment, Luke took a look around the group and saw all the girls held more restful faces.
Nodding to himself, he then said, "Since there's nothing for us here, let's finish this tomb up. Our fabulous prizes are just ahead."
The girls all gained bright smiles and nodded to Luke's directions. Qingyue was the one that said, "We should, at the start, float and tread carefully. To see if these traps are more lethal than before."
Snapping his fingers, Luke ignited another blue lightning barrier around them. They all hover slightly above the ground while Luke said,
"I just have a faint feeling that for this tunnel, we won't have much trouble actually."
"Eh? Did you already sense ahead?" Lingxi asks him while floating carefully along with the group.
"Just watch and see." With a bit of a smug tone, Andrea was the one that told Lingxi. Lingxi, in response, rolled her eyes, yet her expectations were already set quite high.
Carefully they floated through the tunnel on guard for any expecting attacks. At least the girls were still slightly on guard.
But to the cousins' credit, nothing tried to pop out at them. No waves or of Spirit Power or random Spirit Monster! It was like an actual empty tomb. Though there were similar patches of bright red stains on the walls.
"Unless there's another person down here, Ouyang Dihua truly came prepared for this tomb." Cang Yue managed to reach her own conclusion after traveling for a while.
"Is he from a remarkable clan in the Empire?" Qingyue spoke up to ask since they weren't fighting at the moment.
"A very troublesome but indeed remarkable one. In the Seven Wind Profound Palace, his clan is one of the major leading powers there." Answering her, Lingxi had suddenly gained a small smile saying,
"Hehe~, it seems like the imperial Princess isn't so fond of this clan. And I can say for good reasons too! Even at first meeting, that guy rubbed me the wrong way."
Shaking her head at Lingxi light teasing Cang Yue then went on to say, "They're usually reclusive, but if they want something, then their true characters start to show up."
'Spooky, how long until we reach the end?' While the girls merrily chatted, Luke decided to take the time to talk to Spooky for a little bit.
What Andrea had told him ever since they killed the Black Demon group still ranged in his mind. Even at two superior levels than her, Luke couldn't help but feel inferior to understanding their fused souls.

That, and also Spooky, does have a lovely voice to listen too.
'About ten more meters or so at your pace. Are you planning on asking me something?' Instantly, like usual, Spooky was able to tell whenever Luke had some kind of thought towards her.
It was partly because of their fusion but also from her constant observation of him.
'Quick as usual. Still, I was wondering Spooky; from now on, we should take dedicated days to talk to each other.' Luke suggested, and he heard an unordinary response from the ghost girl.
'T-Talk? Just with each other? Wouldn't you be too busy?' Spooky plainly asked in a bit of a rhetorical way. Though from the slight stutter at the beginning, Luke could tell she was open to this idea.
'Don't worry, I have several plans for them. While we can't be like Andy, who's in her own head basically twenty-four seven. We can still have our own ways to bond.'
By Luke's sincere words, the small strange feeling Spooky has when talking to Luke grew a bit at this moment. While they did talk before, Luke now expressed a greater interest in wanting to get closer.
Unknowingly a small smile formed on her ghostly cute face as she said, 'Is that so? I'm waiting for whatever plans you have then.'
A smile bloomed on Luke's face since he could tell this was a step in the right direction. It was then, from the outside he picked up on,
"Ah? It's some bright red light?" Luke heard the tail end of the girl's conversation and towards Lingxi, pointing at a glaring bright red light. And from his senses, Luke knew it was encounter time.
"This power! My guess was right then." Cang Yue's senses caught wind of this familiar power, and her eyes jumped in realization.
"Even so, with us combined, no matter what they pull, we shouldn't worry too much." Qingyue had absolute confidence in her group and kept a serene face towards the upcoming encounter.
Once they got closer, it was then they heard,
"Tch, no matter what we pull, this stone door just won't budge. Do you guys think that dude from Cang Yue's group could open this up?" Ouyang Dihua's voice ranged out first from the group.
"If he was able to teleport us all in here, then surely that guy has some skills to open this door." Huo Gong talked next, feeling assured of his answer.
"Then, I suppose it wouldn't do much good to go against him since her group is fast approaching now." Bi Luo, who had the best Spirit Sense of the group, informed them.
"Really? I didn't expect them to arrive so soon." Ouyang Dihua remarked, and right then did Luke's group appear behind them.
When arriving, Luke and the girls saw those three youths wrapped in an eye blaring red barrier. And by Luke's senses, he could tell this barrier provided protection from even high-level Sky Lords!
"To think you three were fortunate enough to arrive here first…" Cang Yue's heavenly voice got the three to turn around.
Luke had dropped the lightning barrier before coming since it really wasn't necessary to have up now.
Both groups' eyes matched, and immediately tension had arisen between them. And it was then Dihua's group noticed something entirely different about Luke's group.
It was the fact, Cang Yue and Luke had suddenly stepped in the Spiritual Xiantian realm! And Cang Yue was a second level no less!
This was a bit too freaky.
No matter what method they used, Dihua's group put up more of a guard since they're already antagonistic towards each other.
With a calm tone, Ouyang Dihua told them,
"Not fortunate enough to get through this door, however. I don't suppose any of you have a way to get through here." Dihua didn't mince words and wanted to quickly get this over with it.
Luke's group was of the same opinion. Though before Luke could answer Spooky had suddenly said,
'Andrea will go up with you. There's a Spirit Monster at what you would call the Martial Emperor Sea realm waiting for you behind that door. Now don't threat, this will use up all of your Spirit Power for now, but after this, we'll finally gain that World Spirit you were wondering about.'
Seamlessly without a change in either of the cousins' expressions, they were given a detailed plan by their ghost girls. And simultaneously Luke said to Dihua's group,
"I suppose we do have something. Lingxi, Yue, and Qingyue stay next to me. Andy, I think you know what to do."
Promptly Luke's group walked around Dihua's group as Andrea went to the right side of the stone door while the others went to the left side.
The cousins had then also put a small, more concentrated soul Spirit barrier around themselves before starting.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Dihua's suspicions were now getting stronger as the girls simply just followed Luke's directions without even a second question!
But if he wanted to get whatever was on the other side of the door, he had to bide his time.
In sync, Luke and Andrea's right hand ignited in purple soul Spirit Power. And for their left, their hands kindled up in Asura Spirit Power.
Dihua's group had no way to identify the black glasses, but even they could sense a foreboding power from it.
It took a couple of seconds for the cousins to pour out all of their Spirit Power, causing their hands to exude out a radiant mix of purple and black.
Luke turned over to the girls beside him, and they all had small smiles. Their trust was placed entirely in Luke, and he wasn't going to let them down!
Swiftly Luke and Andrea smacked their purple Spirit Power hands on the door causing,
'Chi!'
A bright purple flash of tremendous Spirit Power to storm around the tunnel! Furthermore, it wasn't over yet as,
'RUMBLE!'
The sound of the enormous stone door opening blared out during the flash. And after the glow died down, Dihua's group was a bit surprised as the immovable stone door was now open!
Both Luke and Andrea had stay put behind the now split open doors, however.
"Well then, I didn't exp-"
"RWA!!"
Accompanied by a short, low roar, unfathomable power burst out the door! This aura of power nearly caused everyone to go weak in the knees.
Just barely did the cousins manage to protect them, but the others weren't so lucky.
Before Dihua's group knew it, a bright purple beam had blasted towards them!
'BANG!'
"AHHH?!?"
From this overwhelming attack, their barrier had reactively increased in power. Yet, the three were still knocked into the walls of the tunnels.
By this one attack, their barrier nearly cracked, and all of them were coughing up blood. However, their eyes had immediately widened again once a second purple beam blasted towards them.
'Chi!'
At the last second, a bright red glow wrapped the three up, making them disappear before the beam struck them.
'BANG!'
The beam, however, still violently crashed against the wall causing the tunnel to shake for miles.
"L-Luke?" Lingxi concernedly called out to him since Luke didn't have the slightest bit of worry on his face. Even against this overwhelming power, he and Andrea were as calm as water.
"Relax, the power of Asura has many uses." Luke calmly told them, and in sync, he and Andrea had then slammed their Asura power hands on to the door.
"RWA!!"
Simultaneously a humongous ten feet tall Spirit Monster shaped like a bear appeared just outside the door.
Surely when it stared down at Luke's group, it's majestic Martial Emperor Sea aura should've made them kneel.
However, instead, the Spirit Monster eyes burst like saucers when the significant threat of death hit its senses...
