Chapter 1342: Returning to the Great Void
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone looked at the sky.
The soldiers, royal guards, and cultivators looked up at the person in confusion, not knowing what he was trying to do.
Unnamed began to multiply from one to two, to four, to eight, to sixteen… It kept multiplying, forming a circle around Lu Zhou. A golden lotus bloomed under his feet, and the dazzling swords pointed out like crystals.
In just a few breaths, over a million energy swords appeared in the sky.
“…”
Lu Zhou did not stop forming energy swords. After a few more breaths, the million of energy swords multiplied a few more times again. The force from the millions of energy swords was overwhelming.
Whoos.h.!.+
Lu Zhou held Unnamed and pushed it forward.
With that, the millions of energy swords flew toward the cultivators and soldiers who surrounded them from all directions like a meteor shower.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The energy swords were like swimming dragons in the sky. They whizzed past everyone’s sides, ears, arms, and between their legs. They pa.s.sed through the horizon, the corridors of the imperial royal palace, and the glazed tiles shooting past the palace walls into the streets of Xiangyang City.
Lu Zhou controlled Unnamed that had been imbued with the divine power and rose higher into the sky.
Qin Renyue could not help but applaud. “In this world, the only person who has this kind of mastery of the sword path and reached the path of the sword of creation is Brother Lu…”
Yu Shangrong, who was skilled in the sword path as well, looked at the sky filled with energy swords with a shocked expression on his face.
Little Yuan’er looked at Yu Zhenghai on the left and Yu Shangrong on the right before she asked in a low voice, “Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, you can also do this too, right?”
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong shook their heads. They were far from being capable of this feat.
“This is… amazing…” Yuan Lang said.
The other 48 swordsmen nodded in agreement.
The 49 swordsmen cultivated the sword path. They were skilled with the sword, formations, and many kinds of flashy moves. However, Lu Zhou’s energy swords truly demonstrated the word ‘magnificent’ to the extreme. They could not help but feel inferior.
“I sense the power of the Dao,” Qin Renyue said.
The 49 swordsmen nodded.
It was very basic for a Venerable Master to mobilize the power of the Dao. However, this was Qin Renyue’s first time seeing someone using the power of the Dao to multiply energy swords.
In fact, Lu Zhou had long known about the existence of the power of the Dao when he used the power of infinite deduction to find the Ultimate Formation’s weakness. Previously, with so many interferences, it was not so easy to crack it. However, with no one stopping him now, he could focus on destroying the Ultimate Formation.
The Ultimate Formation was a rare ancient formation; it was far superior to the Ten Grand Formation. Its weakness was not the circle of light above the Mystic Tranquility Hall. It was built with Xiang City in the center. The structure of the city was its framework, and the land was its foundation.
Meng Mings.h.i.+ was not lying when he said no one could destroy the formation. Even he himself, who knew of its weakness, could not destroy it unless he had enough cultivators to cover all directions.
However, it was different for Lu Zhou who used his powerful control and released millions of energy swords to do the work.
Meng Mings.h.i.+ was stunned. He stubbornly kept his eyes open. His body and his lips trembled as he stumbled back, escaping from Mings.h.i.+ Yin’s grip before falling on the steps. How terrifying was ignorance? He had thought the other party was but a frog at the bottom of the well until he realized he was the frog.
Swoos.h.!.+
When the energy swords landed on the ground, the earth shook.
The ordinary soldiers fell to the ground while the cultivators and royal guards stood rooted to the ground, too afraid to move.
Then, energy swords from within a radius of 100 miles rose from the ground.
With that, the brilliance of the Mystic Tranquility Hall dimmed by a third.
All the energy swords flew back in the same order and whizzed past everyone’s body, ears, and even grazed past their vital points. They flew back toward Unnamed, and when all of them converged, they fused into one again.
“Break.”
Following that, Lu Zhou pressed his hand down, and Unnamed flew toward the formation circle at the Mystic Tranquility Hall.
“Don’t!” Meng Mings.h.i.+ burst with a final spurt of strength at this moment. He tried to fly up but was caught by Mings.h.i.+ Yin and pressed to the ground.
Boom!
Unnamed pierced the core of the formation, causing the radiance of the Mystic Tranquility Hall to dim immediately.
The energy from the formation evaporated, and the inscriptions on the ground and the wall dimmed as well. The energy that originated from the Great Void was returned to the Great Void.
Meng Mings.h.i.+’s body turned limp. His spirit, will, and tenacity were destroyed along with the formation.
“Retreat!”
The palace reinforcement retreated like a tide. In just a blink of an eye, none of them could be seen.
“…”
Lu Zhou looked down at Meng Mings.h.i.+. “Is this the loyalty you spoke of earlier?”
Meng Mings.h.i.+ shook his head.
Lu Zhou asked, “Do you have anything else to say?”
Meng Mings.h.i.+ had nothing else to say to Lu Zhou. At this moment, he discovered the world had turned dark just like the formation. He could no longer see anything. He could not hear the others as well; all he heard was a ringing noise in his ears. Then, he felt his Dantian’s sea of Qi shrinking rapidly. With this, he leaped toward Mings.h.i.+ Yin and cried out, “Hurry up! Kill me! Kill me!”
No matter how much Mings.h.i.+ Yin hated Meng Mings.h.i.+, he could not bring himself to kill Meng Mings.h.i.+. He gritted his teeth and took a step back.
At this time, Meng Mings.h.i.+ exploded with energy seals and firmly held onto Mings.h.i.+ Yin.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin spun around and unleashed his energy seals as well.
Boom!
Meng Mings.h.i.+ did not avoid the energy seals.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin brandished the Separation Hook and slashed it at Meng Mings.h.i.+’s chest, but Meng Mings.h.i.+ did not let go.
Meng Mings.h.i.+ was reminded of the battle on Mount Xiao when he fought with the enemy. He fought so hard at that time that he could not feel the pain that burned his body. His fighting spirit and hatred dispelled his fears and brought hope and peace to the battlefield in the end. Alas, all these would be gone soon.
Swoos.h.!.+
Meng Mings.h.i.+ restrained Mings.h.i.+ Yin and flew toward the Mystic Tranquility Hall.
“Fourth Senior Brother!”
“Old Fourth!”
Meng Mings.h.i.+ now fought with no regard for his life, disregarding his previous fighting style. This made it difficult for Mings.h.i.+ Yin to struggle free in a short time.
Swoos.h.!.+
Unnamed tore through the sky and pierced Meng Mings.h.i.+’s chest!
Bang!
Meng Mings.h.i.+ did not avoid it!
“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”
Meng Mings.h.i.+ ignored Lu Zhou. He continued to restrain Mings.h.i.+ Yin with all his strength and smacked Mings.h.i.+ Yin’s back.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin’s Birth Palace appeared immediately.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin said through gritted teeth, “Old fart, you still haven’t given up on killing me?”
Meng Mings.h.i.+ shook his head. “If I wanted you dead, you would’ve died a long time ago.”
“Fourth Senior Brother is in danger!”
Destroying the Birth Palace could directly destroy all of one’s Birth Charts.
At this moment, a bright and s.h.i.+mmering pearl appeared above the Mystic Tranquility Hall.
“Why aren’t you giving up?” Lu Zhou’s voice drifted over.
Meng Mings.h.i.+ brought out his Birth Palace and did not attack Mings.h.i.+ Yin’s Birth Palace. He knew as soon as he did, the orb in the sky would destroy him.
“Alright…” Meng Mings.h.i.+ raised his wizened hand and dug into his Birth Palace.
“Madman!” Qin Renyue exclaimed.
“What’s he doing?!”
“Digging out his life heart!”
The Purple Glazed Ceramic spun, pulling Meng Mings.h.i.+’s Birth Palace to it.
At this time, Meng Mings.h.i.+ released his hold on his Birth Palace after digging out a life heart. Then, he spun around and smacked the life heart into Mings.h.i.+ Yin’s Birth Palace.
Click!
Mings.h.i.+ Yin was a.s.saulted by a wave of pain immediately.
Meng Mings.h.i.+ laughed crazily after he placed his life heart into Mings.h.i.+ Yin’s Birth Palace. Then, he pushed Mings.h.i.+ Yin away.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin grunted. His eyes were red with anger as he stared at Meng Mings.h.i.+ who was smiling creepily.
As soon as Meng Mings.h.i.+’s Birth Chart power exploded, the Purple Glazed Ceramic exploded with energy as well.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin endure the pain as he slapped at the new life heart in his Birth Palace. “I hate you! I don’t want it! It’s filthy!”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Very good! I want you to hate me for the rest of your life! Help me… live… live… for the Meng clan…”
As soon as Meng Mings.h.i.+’s voice fell, he turned into an ice sculpture.
