Lu Zhou frowned.
The Void Chest tribesmen were known for their tough skin. He had experienced this during his first encounter with them at Transient City. However, things had changed since then. He was now a Twenty Chart Great Venerable Master, and his strength had increased greatly. The Void Chest tribesmen were still the same; killing them would not be difficult. Nheless, he did not expect the high priest to be stubborn. The high priest should have almost the strength of a Venerable Master.
Princess Mulberry urged anxiously, “Why don’t you beg me?”
“Why would I do that?”
“You can’t kill him.”
“How do you know I can’t kill him?” Lu Zhou asked.
“Well…” Princess Mulberry looked at him and said, “Trust me. It’d be troublesome for you.”
“What do you mean?”
Princess Mulberry pointed at the scepter and said, “You might be stronger than him, but he’s more prepared. Look.”
The blood threads on the scepter had grown even brighter. At the same time, blood threads appeared on the bodies of the Void Chest tribesmen again.
They were still in the Blood Priest Sealing Formation, after all. Those who died in the formation were still under the control of the high priest.
It was this kind of witchcraft technique that Lu Zhou hated most. He had experienced this in the past before. In hindsight, the witchcraft spells of the past could notpare to what they were now.
“It’s toote. What a pity! It’s not easy to meet a human that I like. What a pity!” Princess Mulberry kept muttering to herself as she returned to the white crane’s back. She sat down?before she patted it lightly.
Then, the white crane let out a cry before it flew into the distance so Princess Mulberry could watch from afar.
Boom!
The high priest flew up, holding the Confinement Seal. His body and robe were drenched in blood. Then, he threw the Confinement Seal away with all his might.
Lu Zhou was rather surprised by the hp’s strength and tenacity.
The high priest lifted his hand, and the blood on his body turned into butterflies again and flew out in all directions. In just a moment, the burned area was teeming with the blood butterflies.
Following that, the corpses of the Void Chest tribesmen stood up lifelessly. Their limbs were stiff, and their movements were mechanical.
The blood threads on the scepter were like a that covered the ground, shining with a fluorescent light. The scepter stood in the center as the blood threads spread out.
With this, the Void Chest tribesmen’s eyes shone with hatred and were filled with the overwhelming urge to destroy everything.
The high priestughed and said, “I told you, you can’t kill me.”
“It’s too early for you to say so!” Lu Zhou threw out the Hourss of Time again. Then, he shattered an Insight Card.
The blue sand in the hourss began to fall, causing everything to freeze, except for Princess Mulberry. This meant that she had a deeperprehension of the power of the Dao or was skilled in thew of time.
“The Hourss of Time?” Princess Mulberry eximed, “It belonged to the Unholy One. Unfortunately, I’ve never met the Unholy One before.”
Princess Mulberry grew even more curious about Lu Zhou. She studied Lu Zhou carefully, hoping to discover some secrets. Then, she continued watching the show. Even if the world copsed, she would not interfere with the matter in front of her.
Time began to flow again.
Lu Zhou had already arrived in front of the high priest. Under the effect of the Insight Card, he saw the high priest’s weakness clearly. He was stunned when he saw red dots covering the high priest’s whole body. However, he soon realized that it was not that the high priest’s body was filled with weaknesses; it was that his weak point was moving, and because it was moving at such a high speed, it looked as though the red dot was all over his body.
Although the speed was truly fast, Lu Zhou resolutely drew his sword at a high speed.
This was the fastest speed of the sword that Yu Shangrong had ever seen. When he was young, he had asked his master, “What’s the fastest sword technique in the world?”
At that time, his master had replied, “The killing sword.”
Yu Shangrong had thought it was a perfunctory answer for the longest time. It was not until became known as the Sword Devil in the golden lotus domain that he understood what the fastest sword technique was. There was no fastest sword technique in the world. As long as one was faster than one’s opponent, it was enough.
Like his master, Yu Shangrong stood up high when it came to the sword path, overlooking the world. It was difficult for him to exin the sword path to others just like how his master had difficulty exining it to him back then.
At this moment, Yu Shangrong held his breath, trying his best to capture his master’s every move. Unfortunately, it onlysted for three breaths before it ended. He could not see anything at all. He only felt the fluctuations in the air as Unnamed disappeared.
It was even more difficult for the others to catch Lu Zhou’s movement.
However, the high priest who had the cultivation base of a Venerable Master saw it. He saw the swording at him from all directions at the same time. It was as though there were tens of thousands of hands wielding the sword. He only saw this for a moment before he felt the sensation of being pierced.
The battle seemed to have ended before it even started.
The high priest lowered his head and looked at the bloody holes on his body in disbelief.
Every strike was just right; no more, no less, they were just right.
“This...” The high priest raised his head and looked at Lu Zhou. His body started to tremble as blood gushed out from the holes. “Y-you… W-why, why did youe to Ji Ming?”
“Why do I need to tell you why I came here?” Lu Zhou thought the high priest was really stupid.
The high priest grunted before he said, “Y-you… Why’s the Hourss of Time in your hands?”
The high priest nced at the Hourss of Time on the ground with an expression of confusion.
Lu Zhou did not answer. This question was as stupid as the one before. He would only lower his IQ if he answered them.
The high priest chuckled as he panted heavily. Then, he muttered over and over again, “You can’t kill me, you can’t kill me…”
Subsequently, Lu Zhou saw a strange scene.
The blood gushing out of the high priest’s body began to flow backward.
“Hm?” Lu Zhou frowned. He could no longer use the Hourss of Time for the time being. If he did not kill the high priest now, it would be even more difficultter on. It was beyond his expectation that the high priest could survive such a powerful sword technique that struck at his weak point.
In the sky, Yao Ji, or Princess Mulberry, who was standing on the back of the white crane, smiled faintly and said, “It’s really been a long time since I’ve met such a powerful human like you. Since you’re not willing to beg me, you should run now. Run far away.”
“...”
Lu Zhou was speechless as he watched Princess Mulberry point in the direction of Yu Zhong with bright and limpid eyes.
The high priest shook his head and said, “Your Highness, you’ve underestimated me and overestimated him... The ultimate secret of the Blood Priest Sealing Technique isn’t with me. It lies with heaven and earth. As long as heaven and earth aren’t destroyed, I’ll live forever.”
Princess Mulberry was slightly annoyed when she heard the words ‘live forever’. She did not like the idea of a second immortal in the Unknown Land. In the end, she said, “However, even heaven and earth can be destroyed.”
“???”
The smile on the high priest’s face froze before it disappeared. He shook his head and said, “Your Highness, why did you say that to scare me? You’re the daughter of the Red Emperor. You must abide by the rules that the Red Emperor hadid down and not interfere with the affairs of the outside world. As it is, your words have already disturbed the battle.”
Previously, the high priest did not care about what Princess Mulberry said. As long as she did not interfere, he was sure everything would be fine. However, he discovered that the ugly and stupid human in front of him was much stronger than he expected. With this, Princess Mulberry’s words could easily affect the battle.
Princess Mulberry smiled and asked, “Are you threatening me?”
The high priest felt the majesty from Princess Mulberry bearing down on him, and he hurriedly said humbly, “I don’t dare!”
“Boring creatures,” Princess Mulberry slowly said, “You’ve already offended me. Let me tell you, the so-called gods are just old geezers. No matter what the result is today… you’ll be buried in Ji Ming.”
“...”
The high priest raised his head. Chills ran up his spine. He looked at Princess Mulberry who was hovering right below the dark fog. Her eyes were like pools of stagnant water; they were devoid of emotions. Then, he saw the silhouette of a huge fierce beast in the dark fog that took a detour to avoid Princess Mulberry.
Lu Zhou turned and said, “You don’t have to interfere.”
Princess Mulberry remained silent.
Lu Zhou flew out. He sensed the vitality energy and the VTC who were being resurrected before he said, “Lu Wu, bring everyone far away.”
Lu Wu felt an inexplicable pressure. It was a beast emperor, but at this moment, it felt its fur stand on end. It spun around and brought Duanmu Sheng to his head before it stomped heavily on the ground with its two front legs.
Boom!
The earth and the mountains shook!
Everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion had underestimated Lu Wu’s strength. With just a stomp, everyone, except for Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, and Qin Naihe, was tossed up into the air.
Then, Lu Wu spat out a cloud of white mist, forming a strong wind that blew everyone away.
Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, and Qin Naihe hurried toward the others immediately.
Lu Wu called out, “Young Master.”
“I’m fine,” Duanmu Sheng said.
“Hold on tight,” Lu Wu said. It nced back once before it leaped into the air.
Seeing that the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion had left, Lu Zhou pressed his hand down.
The Pir of Impermanence spun even more rapidly than before absorbing the life force in the surroundings, causing the ground to quake.
The high priest said, surprised, “You subdued the pir?”
Lu Zhou did not reply to him. Instead, hended on the ground and said, “I think I understand now.”
“What do you understand?”
“If you possess the Pir of Impermanence, the Blood Priest Sealing Formation will be even more difficult to deal with,” Lu Zhou said.
The high priest red at Lu Zhou and said, “So what if you know this? You still can’t kill me!”
With this, Lu Zhou smacked his hand on the ground.
The Pir of Impermanence’s cirction speed was increased to 5,000 times faster.
After that, Lu Zhou sensed the Pir of Impermanence. Its spirituality seemed to have increased.
The high priest gestured with his hand, sending the blood butterflies toward Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou tapped the tip of his foot lightly.
Boom!
The Pir of Impermanence broke out of the ground. The dazzling golden pir with a diameter of 100 meters spun and rose into the sky.
Princess Mulberry murmured to herself, “It’s really the Pir of Impermanence.”
Previously, she did not pay attention to this item. Now, she counted as she muttered, “Void, fusion, infinite… Hmm, he’s really not simple. Why hasn’t anyone from the Great Void brought him there? Oh, right, the imbnce!”
Lu Zhou did not look at the Void Chest tribesmen as he unleashed his second Birth Trial ability, the Water Lotus Storm.
The water lotus was the pr opposite of the ming lotus. Water and fire were ipatible, after all. The heat from the earlier ming lotuses and the coldness from the water lotusbined were truly ufortable.
Those who tried to attack Lu Zhou were all frozen by the cold and shattered into pieces.
The high priest flew over, surrounded by the blood butterflies. He held a blood knife that was formed from his blood as he roared, “Die!”
Lu Zhou spun around and raised his hand to block the strike.
Bang!
The blood knife was blocked by Lu Zhou’s palm seals.
Swoosh!
However, the blood knife was rather special. It actually managed to cut through the palm seals.
Upon seeing this, the high priestughed as though he had seen hope.
s, Lu Zhou turned the high priest’s hope into despair soon after. He unleashed another palm seal and imbued it with the divine power.
Bang!
The high priest’s blood knife broke into pieces immediately.
Lu Zhou stepped on the Pir of Impermanence before he flew forward.
Boom!
The Pir of Impermanence pressed down on the high priest’s chest and knocked him to the ground. In the end, he was pushed several meters into the ground.
“It’s really strange. From the beginning until now, you didn’t even have the ability toe close to me; you didn’t manage to hurt me at all. You don’t even have the ability to force me to use my full strength so where does your confidencee from?”
The high priest spat out a mouthful of blood. Lu Zhou’s words poked at his sore spot. After all, Lu Zhou was right. During the entire battle, he did not even manage to leave a scratch on Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou was still spotlessly clean and even had a lot of strength left. On the contrary, he was in a sorry state, riddled with holes.
Lu Zhou stepped on the Pir of Impermanence again, increasing the speed to 10,000 times faster.
Boom!
The Pir of Impermanence sunk into the ground, pushing the high priest deeper into the ground as well.
Lu Zho could feel the vitality energy and life force surging into the Pir of Impermanence even faster than before, stimting the pir’s spirituality.
At this moment, the high priest finally felt scared. He tried to escape but the Pir of Impermanence was firmly pressed against his chest so he could not move. In the end, he roared crazily, “Your Highness, save me! Save me!”
Lu Zhou bent down and mobilized his divine power before he smacked the top of the Pir of Impermanence.
“100,000 times!”
An even more powerful vortex appeared. Even Lu Zhou, the owner of the Pir of Impermanence, felt his life force draining away. He steadied himself as he stood above the pir. He took a step forward and focused the energy in his Dantian’s sea of Qi before he shouted, “Pir of Impermanence!”
With this, thest of the purplish-ck runes on the Pir of Impermanence faded away and was reced with dazzling golden runes. With this, it hadplete spirituality now. Now that it hadpletely acknowledged Lu Zhou’s as its master, the pulling force around Lu Zhou stopped immediately.
Upon sensing the change, Lu Zhou thought to himself, ‘I finally haveplete control over you.’
The 100,000 times faster cirction speed did not affect Lu Zhou at all now that the pir gained spirituality. In less than 15 minutes, the Pir of Impermanence had already gathered 10,000 years of life.
“Your Highness! Save me!” the high priest roared again.
In the sky, Princess Mulberry looked at Lu Zhou, who was standing above the Pir of Impermanence, with aplicated expression on her face as she said, “What a powerful human.”
The high priest continued to shout, “Yao Ji! You’re a princess in vain! If the Red Emperor knows about what happened today, he’ll definitely punish you! Just you wait! You can’t kill me!”
The high priestughed maniacally.
Princess Mulberry frowned slightly before saying tonelessly, “Alright. It seems like I can’t spare you.”
With a tap of her toes on the snow-white crane, she vanished. She reappeared in front of Lu Zhou, unaffected by the Pir of Impermanence. Her yellow dress fluttered and glittered like dim stars. The headdress on her head was dazzling as well.
Princess Mulberry walked elegantly past the vortex and the Pir of Impermanence in the Blood Priest Sealing Formation. A circle of light rippled under her feet with each step she took.
Suddenly, the speed of absorption of the Pir of Impermanence increased again, causing the void to distort.. In just a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years swiftly converged and surged into the pir.
