Chapter 1760: Defeating the Scarlet Emperor
Chi Biaonu’s expression became even more unsightly. The dignity of the divine emperor was nothing in front of the master and disciples, and his unfilial daughter did not side with him either. When he saw his daughter’s indifference and slight disgust towards him, he felt very uncomfortable. Then, he looked at Lu Zhou and said, “It’s not your place to interfere in my matters.”
Lu Zhou said, “You tied up my two disciples with your matter and delayed them from comprehending the Great Dao. How’s it not my place to interfere?”
Chi Biaonu was rendered speechless by these words. After thinking about it, he felt something was not right, and he retorted, “Back then, many people were fighting over the owners of the Great Void Seeds. I took them under my wings and protected them. I also spent a lot of effort nurturing them. I also gave them life hearts I treasured in the Southern Flaming Sea for many years. You should know how difficult it is to nurture someone into a Great Dao Saint. Based on all those reasons, it’s not too much for them to help me.”
Then, Chi Biaonu turned to Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Duanmu Sheng and asked, “Mings.h.i.+ Yin, Duanmu Sheng, how do I normally treat you?”
“This…”
Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Duanmu Sheng were speechless.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin muttered inwardly, ‘Hey, hey, don’t involve us. Isn’t your purpose of coming here to persuade your daughter to leave?’
Lu Zhou said, “You s.n.a.t.c.hed away against their will, and you still have the guts to say you took them under your wings and nurtured them?”
Chi Biaonu said, “You’re their master. Why are you so unreasonable?”
“Isn’t everything I said reasonable?”
Chi Biaonu was displeased and wanted to refute when Mings.h.i.+ Yin quickly interjected, “Scarlet Emperor, why are you getting angry?”
Chi Biaonu said, “Forget it. I’m not going to fight with you.”
Lu Zhou said in a deep voice, “Chi Biaonu, I considered your feelings when we were in the Cloud Domain. Today, I want to take them away. Do you have any objections?”
Chi Biaonu frowned. ‘Why is this person so unreasonable?’
Princess Mulberry was watching from the side so how could Chi Biaonu disregard his prestige and image? Thus, he said, “You might not have the strength to defeat me.”
Chi Biaonu was a divine emperor, after all. How could ordinary supreme beings compare to him? There were so many supreme beings, and how many had the prestige and status of the Four Emperors of the Lost Lands?
“I happen to have the strength to do so.”
“???”
Chi Biaonu flashed and appeared near Lu Zhou. He tried to sense Lu Zhou’s cultivation. Alas, before the strand of consciousness he extended could touch Lu Zhou, the ancient Dragon Soul in Lu Zhou’s divine mark robe released its majestic power.
Chi Biaonu stared at Lu Zhou and said, “There are only two people who can defeat me in this world. One is Ming Xin, and the other one is the Unholy One. Are you sure you want to go against me?”
Lu Zhou nodded. “At least, you’re self-aware.”
Chi Biaonu left the Cloud Domain as soon as the commanders’ compet.i.tion ended. He did not know about the subsequent earth-shattering events or the rumors swirling in the Great Void. He had rushed here because he was worried about his daughter’s safety.
Upon hearing Lu Zhou’s words, Chi Biaonu was slightly angry. He said in a deep voice, “You can take them away if you can defeat me.”
In fact, these words were superfluous. It went without saying that the winner was king. This was the case since ancient times.
“As you wish,” Lu Zhou said before his willpower surged.
Roar!
The ancient Dragon Soul flew out from the divine mark robe and circled the sky a few times.
Chi Biaonu raised his head and exclaimed, “Ancient creature? Good move!”
Chi Biaonu activated his protective energy. Following that, an avatar dressed in a Taoist robe and a light disk appeared, blocking Lu Zhou’s willpower.
Lu Zhou did not use the energy from the Unholy One’s painting. He wanted to see if he could fight Chi Biaonu with his own power.
Buzz!
A blue avatar wielding a sword appeared, standing proudly in the air. It brandished Unnamed, releasing countless energy swords.
Upon seeing the blue avatar wielding a sword, Chi Biaonu exclaimed in surprise, “Blue?”
Mings.h.i.+ Yin flew back to Duanmu Sheng’s side and said, “See, I was right.”
Duanmu Sheng was dumbfounded.
Even Princess Mulberry, who was watching from the side, was shocked.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
An energy sword appeared in Chi Biaonu’s hand, and he used to send the energy swords flying before attacking the blue avatar.
When Chi Biaonu’s sword stabbed over, the blue avatar blocked it with its sword.
Bang!
“It’s so flexible?” Chi Biaonu was surprised. When he saw the electric arcs flas.h.i.+ng on the blue avatar’s body, he was further surprised. “The Unholy One’s cultivation path?”
“Great Seal of Fearlessness!”
Lu Zhou slapped a palm seal down from above.
The blue palm seal tore through s.p.a.ce.
“Light disk!” Chi Biaonu said in a deep voice.
Boom!
The light disk expanded in the sky like the moon.
The force of the collision spread for thousands of miles. With this, Ji Ming’s Pillar of Destruction, which was on the brink of collapse, collapsed immediately.
Mings.h.i.+ Yi, Duanmu Sheng, and Princess Mulberry looked over worriedly. Then, they instinctively raised their heads to look at the sky.
Perhaps, it was due to the collapse of the pillar, the dark fog in the sky was gradually clearing.
A few flying beasts could be seen flying in the dark sky. However, due to the darkness, their appearances could not be clearly seen.
Chi Biaonu no longer cared about his surroundings. He brought out another two light disks. There were now three light disks including the one before.
The light disks that were more powerful than astrolabes shot toward Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou brought out Unnamed in the form of a s.h.i.+eld and held it in front of him.
Boom!
The shockwave from the collision cut across the sky and the dark land. When Unnamed collided with the light disks, the entire dark sky was illuminated by their collision.
Lu Zhou was knocked back by the immense force.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin, Duanmu Sheng, and Princess Mulberry were dumbstruck.
Chi Biaonu said loudly, “If this is the extent of your strength, you can’t defeat me.”
Lu Zhou said calmly, “What’s the hurry? I’ve only used 10% of my strength.”
“Hm?”
Chi Biaonu did not dare to be careless. The fourth light disk bloomed in the sky, covering the earth as it expanded.
Lu Zhou’s blue avatar was not that of a supreme being. It did not even have a light disk. Faced with such a powerful force, he chose to disintegrate it.
“Disintegrate?” Chi Biaonu was surprised again.
After the light disks landed on empty air, the blue avatar appeared again.
“Flawed Perfection.”
The palm seal that contained Lu Zhou’s divine Dao power in its peak state arrived in front of Chi Biaonu in just a blink of an eye.
Boom!
Chi Biaonu hurriedly put away the four light disks before he lowered his alt.i.tude.
Lu Zhou swooped down as well before he pushed a hand out.
Lu Zhou’s avatar mimicked his actions. The two of them were like one at this time.
“Abandon Wisdom!”
The full power of the divine Dao power made the characters on the palm seal extremely eye-catching. The blue electric arcs around it made it look like it was burning with h.e.l.lfire.
Upon seeing this, Chi Biaonu exclaimed, “I didn’t expect a non-supreme being would have this kind of power.”
Under the dark sky, the glowing avatar was very eye-catching. Although it was not a supreme being’s avatar, it had the appearance of one.
“s.e.xtuple light disks!” Chi Bianu raised his hand, sending out six light disks. The power of the law contained in the light disks was stronger than before.
Lu Zhou held up Unnamed and brought his astrolabe out.
The astrolabe was so big that it covered the dark sky.
Boom!
Lu Zhou and Chi Biaonu flew up. They did not know how high they flew, but the energy was already thinning.
Chi Biaonu stared at Lu Zhou and said, “It’s still not too late to admit defeat now. I don’t want to hurt you.”
Lu Zhou felt that his blue avatar could withstand the six light disks and felt that it was quite satisfactory for the time being. After all, it only had 33 Birth Charts and was not a supreme being avatar.
Without waiting for Lu Zhou’s response, Chi Biaonu said again, “Admit defeat! If I use another 10% of my strength, you’ll be seriously injured. Is it worth it?”
Lu Zhou’s eyes slowly turned blue as he said, “I’ve only used 30% of my strength so far. Aren’t you being too arrogant?”
Swoos.h.!.+
Primal Qi coursed through Lu Zhou’s body as electric arcs quickly appeared on his body. They crackled loudly.
Unnamed and the astrolabe suddenly grew by several times.
Unholy One’s state!
“Hm?”
Chi Biaonu was shocked. When he sensed the changes in Lu Zhou’s body, he quickly brought out his seventh light disk.
“Too late!”
Boom!
A surging and violent energy wreaked havoc in the sky.
Chi Biaonu felt like his light disks were about to be destroyed so he quickly put them away and instinctively strengthened his protective energy.
Boom!
When the powerful energy crashed on Chi Biaonu, he plummeted to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Mings.h.i.+ Yin said praisingly, “Master is still as powerful as ever!”
Chi Biaonu stopped falling when he was about 1,000 feet from the ground. He looked at the sky and said in shock, “It’s really you.”
Chi Biaonu’s voice was filled with unwillingness and helplessness. He clenched his hands tightly, causing the veins on his arms to bulge. He felt a tingling sensation in his soul. Just a move had caused his Dantian’s sea of Qi to churn. If he still did not know who the other party was, he would have been a divine emperor for so long in vain.
Lu Zhou looked down and asked expressionlessly, “You know now?”
“I wasn’t sure until just now,” Chi Biaonu replied.
“Are you convinced?” Lu Zhou asked.
Chi Biaonu’s arrogance from earlier disappeared at this moment. He lowered his head and sighed, “If you had told me your ident.i.ty earlier, how could I not be convinced? What’s the point of you doing this? Are you toying with me?”
“I don’t have time to toy with you,” Lu Zhou said, “I’ll be taking these two with me. Do you have any objections?”
“...”
Chi Biaonu glanced at Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Duanmu Sheng, feeling slightly unwilling.
Lu Zhou said, “The Great Void will definitely fall. Even if I leave them with you, you still can’t return to the Great Void.”
“It’ll definitely fall?”
“You’re a divine emperor so you should have known this long ago. There’s no point in deceiving yourself. Like I said, Ling Weiyang left the Great Void as soon as the commanders’ compet.i.tion ended, and Bai Zhaoju has returned to the Lost Kingdom,” Lu Zhou said.
Chi Biaonu was in a daze. If he could not return to the Great Void, what was the point of keeping the owners of the Great Void Seeds by his side? How was he going to build a balanced paradise on earth in the Great Void if it was going to fall?
Chi Biaonu looked a little lonely as he sighed. Then, he waved his hand and said, “You can leave.”
Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Duanmu Sheng were overjoyed. They bowed at Chi Biaonu at the same time and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for nurturing for 100 years.”
Lu Zhou nodded upon seeing this. Then, he turned to the side and called out, “Princess Mulberry.”
“Ah?” Princess Mulberry was a little fl.u.s.tered. “Y-you, you called me?”
Lu Zhou said, “You tower of ice can’t stop the Great Void from falling. If you stay here, when it falls, you’ll be smashed into pulp.”
“Is it, is it really that bad?” Princess Mulberry covered her face. She did not dare to think too much about those words.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin added, “It’s not just that. Just imagine after you’re smashed into a meat patty, you’ll continue to rot. Even dogs will despise it!”
Chi Biaonu: “?”
Princess Mulberry shuddered. “Then, then what should I do?”
Lu Zhou said, “I suggest you leave the Unknown Land.”
Princess Mulberry looked up at Lu Zhou, who was s.h.i.+ning with a blue light. No one knew what she was thinking.
On the contrary, Chi Biaonu’s heart moved slightly. This time, his daughter did not seem very resistant to leaving. There was hope.
Princess Mulberry asked, “Are you really the Unholy One?”
Lu Zhou chuckled and said, “People like calling me the Unholy One so I’m the Unholy One.”
Princess Mulberry’s eyes widened. They were filled with curiosity and surprise. “Okay, I’ll leave the Unknown Land, but can I leave on Grand Mystic Mountain? When I was young, I often heard stories about you! I want to be your neighbor, okay?”
