Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Boom!
Yue Qi stomped on the ground, leaving two deep pits behind. His body felt numb. He glared at Lu Zhou as he thought to himself, ‘He’s so powerful? How many Birth Charts does he have?’
Yue Qi did not dwell on the questions in his mind. Instead, he hurriedly left.
At the same time, Lu Zhou felt the strange movement from the unique energy again. It was much stronger than Ye Zheng and Tuoba Sicheng’s power of the Dao. He could feel everyone was slowing down.
“Slowing time?”
Lu Zhou circulated the divine power through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians to dispel the effect. Under the effect of the slowed time, his reaction, perception, vision, and movement had all slowed down a few beats.
Yue Qi reappeared on the back of a sea beast and began to play the zither again. The melody spread out in all directions. As he plucked the strings of the zither, he said with a scoff, “You’re stronger than I expected.”
As the melody continued to ring in the air, the fierce beasts grew more and more agitated.
At this time, Lu Zhou suddenly flew up and appeared in front of Yue Qi in just a blink of an eye. He launched countless palm seals in the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The palm seals and soundwaves collided.
The duo’s figures could only be vaguely seen as they fought fiercely. They fought until the sky darkened, and the debris and rubble piled up.
The sea beasts in the vicinity were like headless flies as they flew back and forth in the sky, unable to capture their target.
…
The tremors from the earth-shattering battle outside could clearly be felt In the underground palace. The sounds of explosions, the sounds of corpses falling to the ground, and the cries of beasts wafted into the underground palace as well.
Huang s.h.i.+jie and Li Jinyie looked out of the cracks and saw energy seals occupy the sky. They could not go out now. With their cultivation bases, they were no different from ants if they joined such a ferocious battle.
At this time, the formation inscriptions on the wall lit up in the underground palace.
Huang s.h.i.+jie looked at Si Wuya and Jiang Aijian before he said, “Brother Ji is fighting strong enemies outside. What we can do now is to guard them. We can’t make any mistakes.”
“Okay.”
Both of them had experienced life and death so they were fearless. What they were most worried about was whether Si Wuya could successfully complete the blood exchange technique.
At the same time, the blood energy shrouded Si Wuya and Jiang Aijian and circulated in their bodies. Their bodies were drenched in sweat and blood.
Huang s.h.i.+jie shook his head and sighed when he saw Si Wuya’s furrowed brows and slightly pale face.
The sounds of fighting outside became more and more intense, and it lasted for more than an hour.
Mount Halcyon shook violently as though it was a small boat being tossed about by the waves.
…
In the sky.
The soundwave permeated everywhere.
During this time, Lu Zhou had been depending on his own cultivation base and a little bit of his divine power to fight Yue Qi.
Boom!
The duo collided again as two circles of light, on the left and right respectively, appeared.
As Yue Qi flew back, he manifested his avatar. He sneered and said, “As it turns out, you only have a deeper comprehension of the power of the Dao; you don’t have enough Birth Charts at all.”
After fighting for so long, he had already figured out the source of Lu Zhou’s confidence and strength. When experts fought, most of the time, they only needed to exchange one move to understand their opponent’s strength, let alone Yue Qi who had been fighting Lu Zhou for such a long time.
The difference between a Great Venerable Master and an ordinary Venerable Master was their understanding of the power of the Dao. Since both of them were Great Venerable Masters, then what determined victory and defeat was the number of Birth Charts.
Buzz!
Yue Qi’s black astrolabe shone in the air. He deliberately made his Birth Charts more distinct. 24 Birth Charts shone on the astrolabe; one of them was slightly dimmer. It seemed like he had just activated it not too long ago.
“The show is about to begin!”
Lu Zhou looked at the astrolabe and thought to himself, ‘No wonder Yang Jinhong said he’s most likely to become a Saint among the other Great Venerable Masters.’
At this time, a black beam of light shot toward Lu Zhou. He could sense the power of the Dao in the beam of light. He brought Unnamed in the form of a s.h.i.+eld out and held it in front of him.
Bang!
When the beam of light landed on Unnamed, a faint sizzling noise rang in the air. The force from the beam of light was stronger than expected. It pushed against Lu Zhou and Unnamed.
Lu Zhou increased his output of the divine power, and Unnamed shone brightly with a golden light. He continued blocking the beam of light.
“Huh?” Yue Qi raised an eyebrow.
The two struggled against each other as the sea beasts pounced over.
At this time, the long and slender strange sea beast attacked at lightning speed. It was not big, and its strength should be between that of a beast king and a beast emperor.
“Don’t forget that I’m also a beast tamer. Goodbye,” Yue Qi said with a smile.
Lu Zhou’s expression darkened as he bellowed thunderously, “Get lost!”
Lu Zhou shattered a Deadly Strike Card.
Boom!
The Buddhist’s Great Vajra Hand Sign flew out and landed on the long and slender sea beast.
‘How dare you launch a sneak attack? Since you don’t care about being fair, I won’t hold back either!’
Boom!
The long and slender sea beast was smashed to the ground by the Great Vajra Hand Sign. Its flesh split open, and its innards spilled out from the hole on its stomach, exposing its life heart.
“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 2,000 merit points.”
“A Buddhist?! How dare you kill the beast I carefully raised!” Yue Qi shouted furiously. He had completely lost his calm from before. He put away his astrolabe and roared. His eyes bulged as black mist rose from his body.
“I want you to pay with your life!” Yue Qi used his demonic relic again as he flew toward Lu Zhou, s.h.i.+ning with a faint blue light. He looked like a demon at this moment.
Upon seeing this, Yang Jinhong who was lying limply on the ground laughed as his eyes shone with fervor. “Great Venerable Master Yue, you’re finally getting serious about the fight! The dignity of the Great Void is inviolable!”
Yu Qi shot out like a meteor.
Lu Zhou raised his hand. When he was about to stop Yue Qi, he discovered he did not have much divine energy left. Hence, he descended.
How could Yue Qi let go of such a good opportunity?
“Freeze!”
A faint blue circle of light expanded immediately.
Once again, Lu Zhou felt the familiar and powerful freezing energy. However, this time, he was not affected. He looked at Yue Qi, who was charging toward him, and said with a flick of his sleeve, “Get lost!”
Lu Zhou unleashed the Buddhist’s Great Vajra Hand Sign again.
Boom!
When the palm seal hit Yue Qi, his vicious smile froze on his face. It was quickly replaced by shock when he discovered the force of the palm seal was beyond what he could bear.
Boom!
Yue Qi was sent flying back. He fell in an arc before he crashed to the ground.
Yang Jinhong felt his heart stop. “???”
Yang Jinhong was bewildered when he looked at Yue Qi who was as magnificent as a rainbow just a while ago but was now as miserable as sin.
Without a beast tamer’s control, the sea beasts were like headless flies, cras.h.i.+ng against each other.
Lu Zhou strode toward Yue Qi at a leisurely pace. The item card did not destroy his Birth Chart. Clearly, Yue Qi had a puppet or something. It could be a magical beast body as well. Considering Yue Qi was a beast tamer, it was more likely the latter.
Swoos.h.!.+
Yue Qi leaped to his feet. His eyes were red. Alas, he had just gotten to his feet when Lu Zhou sent another palm seal over. He saw a strange script for ‘Lightning’ in the middle of the palm seal. His instinct told him to dodge, and he did. However, it seemed to be locked onto him.
Boom!
Yue Qi flew out and slid back on the ground for about 100 meters.
Yang Jinhong: “…”
Lu Zhou continued striding forward until he arrived in front of Yue Qi. He said, “I haven’t even gone all out yet, and you already can’t endure it?”
“You!”
Lu Zhou shook his head. He was not very satisfied with the Thunderblast Card this time.
Yue Qi scoffed coldly. Then, he smacked the ground with one hand before he vanished into thin air.
Then, Lu Zhou felt an unprecedented pressure bearing down on him as Yue Qi’s figure appeared everywhere.
“You’ve successfully angered me!” Yue Qi roared as he pounced over.
Lu Zhou silently activated his power of smell before he shook his head expressionlessly. “You’re foolishly fearless!”
Lightning struck Yue Qi again. The clones vanished, and his real body fell. This time, he spat out a mouthful of blood, severely injured.
Yang Jinhong: “???”
Yang Jinhong rubbed his eyes and wondered if the person in front of him was really Great Venerable Master Yue.
