Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 117 - 113: Powerful Reinforcements
Chapter 117: Chapter 113: Powerful Reinforcements
Deep within the mountains of the Luma clan, after a moment of flight, they saw a sprawling encampment resembling that of primitive humans.
"Luso, aren’t you supposed to be patrolling the perimeter? Why are you in the camp? And who is this beside you?" Just as they were about to approach the camp, a Luma clan camp guard immediately came up to inquire.
The Luma clan had a wild appearance, with bone jewelry around their necks, hands, and feet, wearing animal hides and wielding spears that glowed with a radiant light. The one speaking was a dark-skinned man who stood in front of them and asked.
The dark-skinned man glanced at Wang Xu but, noticing he was only Star Level, paid him little mind.
"Lendo, this is the human friend spoken of by the Buqu race." The young man in beast garb, Luso, said.
"A human friend, is it? I heard Buqu Li mention it, you’re the savior of the Buqu race." Lendo, the dark-skinned man, upon hearing this, displayed a smile, "A friend of the Buqu race is a friend of the Luma clan, please come in!"
Wang Xu nodded with a slight smile and followed Lendo’s lead towards the Luma clan’s camp.
"Human friend, may I ask why you have come to the Luma clan?" Lendo asked.
"I’m here to find Buque Ge, there’s something important I must tell him face-to-face," Wang Xu said.
Upon hearing this, Lendo paused for a moment, then with a bitter smile, shook his head.
"What is it?" Wang Xu asked in confusion.
"It’s best if you see it for yourself." Lendo said only this, then turned to continue leading the way, leaving Wang Xu puzzled.
As the three walked on for a bit, Wang Xu noticed that the Luma clan was just like a primitive tribe, with people dressed simply and with modest adornments, most of their weapons still merely made from unprocessed stones, entirely different from the cosmic races Wang Xu knew, the Luma clan seemed quite backward in civilization.
But what surprised Wang Xu was that despite the lack of advanced technology, the Luma clan had many powerful individuals of Star Level and Void Level.
For example, the dark-skinned man leading him, Lendo, was an Upper Void Level cosmic martial artist, and there were many in the camp at the same level alongside Lendo, Wang Xu saw more than a dozen on his way through.
And martial artists of Star Level were even more abundant, even children not yet in their teens had already reached Initial Rank Star Level.
"This is the power of bloodlines, truly extraordinary," Wang Xu sighed.
When a cosmic martial artist becomes powerful, their offspring inherit their bloodline, naturally possessing exceptionally strong talents; this proliferation of bloodlines creates a powerful tribe, like the Luma clan.
The human race on Earth has inherently low bloodlines, relying on genetic potions to barely develop potential, yet very few have the talent for cultivation, even fewer reach a certain realm, making the tribe’s strength naturally weak.
Bang!
As Wang Xu was lost in thought, suddenly, a figure flew out in front of him, crashing against an Energy Barrier, looking deflated, with bruised and battered features.
Buqu race person!
This person wasn’t short, his body more robust than Wang Xu’s, but his hairy body allowed Wang Xu to recognize him at a glance.
"Lie Luo, that’s enough!" A sharp voice called out, and a beautiful woman in snow-white beast garb ran up, cradling the Buqu race individual in concern and worry.
"Nai Li! I am the strongest, you should be my wife, not his!" A resentful voice rang out, and Wang Xu looked up to see a robust man of the Luma clan, with ancient bronze skin, sharp angular features like chiseled stone, and eyes filled with anger.
"Human friend, I’m sorry you had to see this, Kui’an’s temper is just like that, he likes Nai Li, has always liked her, but Nai Li doesn’t like him, she loves Buque Ge, and Kui’an couldn’t handle the blow and challenged Buque Ge... As you can see, Buque Ge is no match for him," Lendo sighed.
Wang Xu looked at the injured and weak Buque Ge, shaking his head, the strongest of the Buqu race had been beaten like this by someone of the same rank.
"Nai Li, stand aside, this is a duel of life and death, if you help him, even if he doesn’t die, he will be forever weak!" Kui’an said.
"Nai Li, you should step back... I can still stand," Buque Ge pushed Nai Li aside, eyes full of resilience.
He staggered to his feet, holding a spear that glowed radiantly, even though he was at a disadvantage, his face showed no hint of cowardice.
"Alright! Buque Ge, you are a true hero, I will give my all to defeat you!" Kui’an shouted, the tip of his spear gathering a cold glint, thrusting straight at Buque Ge.
Wang Xu was slightly moved, Kui’an had actually comprehended the Heaven and Earth Will; it seemed the Luma clan was even more powerful than he had imagined.
Buque Ge was not inferior, his spear exuding a heavy aura as if to suppress everything, his Spear Will different from Kui’an’s, more domineering and fierce.
The two clashed abruptly, their silhouettes like phantoms, in an instant exchanging dozens of blows, their speed so fast that even Wang Xu was slightly surprised.
But quickly, Buque Ge started to fall behind, already injured and not as strong as Kui’an, within a moment he was completely at a disadvantage, it seemed only a few more minutes before he would fall beneath Kui’an’s spear.
"Alas, it looks like I have to step in," Wang Xu sighed, shaking his head.
Swish!
Kui’an’s spear technique was grand and powerful, with an earth-shattering force that left Buque Ge breathless, his arms shaking so violently that he could no longer hold onto his spear, which flew out as a sharp cold gleam shot straight towards Buque Ge.
Buque Ge sighed inwardly, closing his eyes, awaiting death’s arrival.
This was a duel to the death, once begun, one must either kill or be killed. There was no third option.
"Stop!" Suddenly, a calm voice called out, Kui’an’s expression stiffened, his body halted, then swiftly retreated a few steps, staring in astonishment at a black-robed figure outside the Energy Barrier.
Spiritual Sense Attack!
Cosmic Spirit!
"Who are you!" Kui’an shouted angrily, humiliated and furious.
"My name is Wang Xu, and I’ve come to the Luma Race to inform Buque Ge of something important. He cannot die yet," Wang Xu replied.
Wang Xu didn’t intend to reveal his ability to perform Spiritual Consciousness Attacks, but the Energy Barrier blocked his path, leaving him with no choice but to use Spiritual Consciousness to halt Kui’an’s assault.
The crowd fell silent, and both Lendo and Luso’s eyes widened as they looked at Wang Xu. This Star Level human friend was actually a Cosmic Spirit!
"Thank you, friend, for your assistance. But this is a life-or-death duel; your help would only bring me shame," Buque Ge said firmly.
He was the strongest of the Buqu Race, with the pride of a strong warrior. To him, honor was more important than life.
"I don’t care if you want to die, but if you can disregard the Buqu Race, then do as you wish," Wang Xu said indifferently.
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Buque Ge’s expression changed, and he rushed forward anxiously, asking, "What exactly is going on?"
"A few days ago, an Outer Heaven Meteorite fell on the Green Mountain Range..." Wang Xu explained the whole situation.
The more Buque Ge listened, the more his expression darkened. By the time Wang Xu finished, his eyes were filled with rage, and he shouted, "Damn Ice Crystal Giant Beasts!"
"Kui’an, the life-or-death duel is temporarily canceled. My clan members are in great danger, and I must return to protect them!" Buque Ge said, turning to Kui’an.
Although Kui’an was angry about Nai Li being with Buque Ge, he was not foolish and could remain rational in such a significant matter.
So, Kui’an canceled the life-or-death duel, lifted the Energy Barrier, and Buque Ge immediately decided to return with Wang Xu to the Green Mountain Range to protect his clan.
"Wait."
Suddenly, a deep voice floated from afar, startling Wang Xu, who looked up to see a middle-aged man in a white robe strolling down from the sky.
"Father!"
"Clan Leader!"
"Honorable Clan Leader!"
Immediately, all the members of the Luma Race knelt down, including Buque Ge. Only Wang Xu remained standing, his face showing surprise.
Black Hole Level!
The Clan Leader of the Luma Race was actually a Black Hole Level powerhouse!
"Greetings, Clan Leader." Out of respect for a strong warrior, Wang Xu saluted.
"You are of the Human Race," the middle-aged man in the white robe said, his voice deep and full of magnetism.
"You know humans?" Wang Xu asked, puzzled.
"The Human Race is a major group in the cosmos. Our Luma Race is a branch of the Human Race, so you claiming to be human makes you naturally a branch of the Human Race," the middle-aged man in white explained.
Wang Xu suddenly realized. He had noticed the similarities between the Luma Race and humans but dismissed it, thinking they surely had some differences from humans. He didn’t expect the Luma Race to be a branch of the Human Race, from the same group as him.
And since the Human Race is a major group in the cosmos, does this mean that humanity’s origin is in the cosmos and not Earth?
Wang Xu’s thoughts raced, and he quickly pondered many questions.
"You just mentioned an Outer Heaven Meteorite fell on the Green Mountain Range?" The Luma Clan Leader asked, "Have you seen what that Outer Heaven Meteorite looks like?"
Wang Xu shook his head. He was also curious about the Outer Heaven Meteorite and wanted to see what it looked like and what secrets it held. That’s why he agreed to accompany the Buqu Race to the Luma Race for help.
After all, with his strength alone, he couldn’t face the entire Ice Crystal Giant Beast Race.
"I’ll go with you. The Buqu Race is a friend of our Luma Race. When a friend is in trouble, we naturally have to lend a hand," the Luma Clan Leader said.
"Really?" Buque Ge’s eyes lit up, "Thank you, Luma Clan Leader!"
The Luma Clan Leader smiled. He didn’t oppose Buque Ge being with his daughter Nai Li. Instead, he admired Buque Ge’s stubbornness and reckless nature, as he had also been young and reckless once.
While Kui’an had strong talent and strength, making him suitable to lead the clan toward prosperity, he wasn’t suitable to be his daughter’s future husband.
"Kui’an, I’m leaving for now; the matters in the clan are left to you," the Luma Clan Leader said.
"Yes, Clan Leader!" Kui’an accepted the order.
Whoosh!
The Luma Clan Leader waved his hand, and a cosmic battleship, shaped like a leaf, suddenly appeared.
"Let’s go." The three of them boarded the warship and quickly flew away under everyone’s watchful eyes.
