Chapter 1242: Dominating With Absolute Strength
Under the weight of the Confinement Seal, half of the mausoleum collapsed.
Upon seeing this, Yong He bared its fangs and brandished its claws. Then a shadow pounced toward Lu Zhou.
A shadow was just a shadow; it was unable to harm Lu Zhou.
This flustered Yong He and made it exasperated. The mausoleum was its root. Once the mausoleum was destroyed, it would have nowhere to go. It continued to roar as tangible tentacles spread out from the mausoleum.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
What seemed like Yong He’s true body shot up, pushing the Confinement Seal up. It had been hiding in the mausoleum all this time and manifested an illusion outside.
Lu Zhou immediately pushed his hand out.
Abandoned Wisdom that had been imbued with his divine power shot out before it descended from the sky, landing on the back of Yong He’s neck.
Yong He was dizzy with pain. Coincidentally, this was its weak spot. It could only shriek in frustration as its shadow failed to do anything to Lu Zhou. After a moment, the two beams of red light in the sky suddenly vanished, and the shadow flew back into its body.
The red sky now returned to its original gloomy appearance.
Lu Zhou discovered that Yong He’s physical body was so weak that it could not even withstand a single blow.
At this time, the four elders from the Ye clan finally regained consciousness; the red light in their eyes had vanished as well. They looked at each other in confusion, taking in the blood that drenched their bodies.
When Ye Yiqing, Ye Yuanjiu, and Ye Geng sensed the change in their cultivation bases, they grunted and spat out blood.
“My Birth Chart!”
“Ye Wei, you…”
The three elders looked at Ye Wei.
Ye Wei’s expression was one of remorse and pain as he said, “It was Yong He…”
Realization dawned on them when they looked in the direction of the mausoleum and heard the screeching noises.
At this time, Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, Duanmu Sheng, and Ming Shiyin regained their senses. After a brief moment of confusion, realization dawned on them as well.
Following that, Yan Zhenluo, Lu Li, Kong Wen, and his three brothers regained consciousness. Similar to the others, they were confused as well.
At this time, Little Yuan’er and Conch flew back from afar.
Little Yuan’er asked, “Senior brothers, are you okay?”
“We’re fine.”
Mingshi Yin looked ahead and said with a frown, “We lost our minds because of this beast…”
All of them were disgusted. They found it hard to accept that they had lost control of themselves.
“Be careful. Don’t let your guard down again,” Kong Wen said after he got to his feet, “If I lose my mind again, knock me out immediately.”
Kong Wu. “…”
This was a strange but necessary request.
Kong Wen said, “The Pavilion Master is completely unaffected. Amazing! We shouldn’t let it hide again. In fact, its body is very weak. It’s even weaker than that of a beast emperor…”
Everyone nodded.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou kept his eyes on the shrieking Yong He, not intending to let it hide now that it had come out. From time to time, he would launch a palm seal or two, causing it unbearable pain.
“Go.” Lu Zhou launched the Fiend Monk’s Hand Seal toward the mausoleum.
Boom!
The mausoleum was crushed into pieces as the Fiend Monk’s Hand Seal forcefully pulled Yong He out, revealing its full form in front of everyone’s eyes.
Yong He’s eyes and mouth were red, and its fur was yellow. It looked like a thin and monstrous ape on top, and its lower body resembled that of a suction cup or a tree root wrapped in mud.
Yong He said in a deep voice, “Let me return! I order you to put me back!”
“Be careful! Retreat!” Kong Wen said.
Everyone, including the four elders, retreated. They had learned from their mistakes. They were all experts, but they were helpless against Yong He’s ability.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou stroked his beard and asked, “Do you not understand the situation you’re in now?”
Lu Zhou launched another palm strike.
Boom!
The palm strike landed on Yong He’s head, making it see stars. It was not easy for it to recover some of its strength, and just as it was about to cry out again, Lu Zhou struck with his palm again.
At this time, Ye Wei spoke up. “Be careful of its death struggle. After all, it’s a beast emperor. It can’t be without tricks…”
Lu Zhou continued to stare at Yong He as he asked, “How long have you been here?”
Yong He did not answer.
Unfazed, Lu Zhou continued to ask, “Why are you staying in Transient City?”
Yong He still did not answer.
Lu Zhou said, “My hands have long been stained with blood. It would not matter to add your blood to them…”
Lu Zhou raised his hand and formed an energy saber that he had imbued with divine power. As long as he brought the saber down, Yong He was as good as dead.
As expected, Yong He finally reacted. Its suction cup-like lower body began to move and its root-like appendages began to wriggle as its eyes shone red again. “I’ll make you pay for this!”
Following that, blood began to seep out of its upper body and dripped onto its lower body. Its upper body began to shrink swiftly until it was half its original size.
With this, Lu Zhou’s energy saber was rendered useless.
Yong He’s suction cup-like lower body drilled into the ground, taking root. With the earth as its foundation and the vitality energy in Transient City as its nutrients, its illusory image began to grow again.
“The dignity and pride of Yong He, the Great Sage, are inviolable!” A dark voice rang in the air.
Ye Wei shouted, “Old friend, watch out!”
At this moment, Ye Wei did not wish for anything to happen to Lu Zhou. They had all underestimated Yong He. If it took control of them again, it would be a devastating blow to all of them.
“Quick! Knock me out!” Kong Wen said.
“…”
No one paid attention to Kong Wen.
At this time, Lu Zhou pointed at the sky.
An astrolabe appeared in the dark sky.
“Gravity!”
At the same time, Yong He used the same trick again. It let out an ear-piercing cry as it shot out two beams of red light. This time, its attack was completely focused on Lu Zhou.
Nevertheless, the attack still affected the others. Fortunately, they had learned from their mistakes. They blocked Yong He’s cry and closed their eyes to avoid seeing the red light.
“That’s right! Why didn’t I think of this?” Kong Wen smacked his thigh. Then, he hurriedly closed his eyes and blocked the noise.
Boom!
The gravity suppressed Yong He, preventing its illusion from growing.
“Karmic fire!”
Yong He’s cry continued to assault Lu Zhou, but it failed to shake his mind. Apart from the time when he was slightly distracted when he first saw the red light, he was completely unaffected. Perhaps, it was because he had experienced two lives and meditated on the Heavenly Writing all year round that his mind was like a steel trap, far stronger than that of 10,000-year-old Venerable Master. Perhaps, his mind and will were comparable to those of a Saint.
“Why?! Why are you fine?! Why? Why? Why?” It kept muttering ‘why’ over and over again that it sounded even more annoying the sounds of flies buzzing around one’s ears.
Lu Zhou frowned. He found Yong He’s muttering more unbearable than its ability.
At this time, the karmic fire rained down on the mausoleum.
“Karmic fire… No, it’s the karmic fire from someone who had passed a Birth Trial…” Ye Wei said.
“No wonder, no wonder, he’s an expert from the golden lotus domain…”
“No wonder what?”
“No wonder there’s an imbalance…”
Naturally, Lu Zhou did not hear the four elders’ discussion. He was focused on dealing with Yong He.
The others were also focused on blocking out the noise.
“Freeze.”
Creak!
Yong He was instantly frozen.
Ice and fire raged at the same time while Lu Zhou flashed up into the sky and brought Unnamed in the form of a sword out.
Following that, an energy sword that was 1,000 feet long shot down from the sky.
Bang!
The energy sword pierced Yong He accurately.
It was obvious that Yong He had more than one heart.
Lu Zhou brought his astrolabe again.
The astrolabe covered the sky as ten Birth Charts lit up one after another. Among the ten Birth Charts, the Great Birth Chart was the most dazzling. Following that, ten pillars of light shot out at the same time.
Boom!
This was the full attack of Lu Zhou’s Birth Chart power.
At this moment, a circular pit was all that could be seen where the mausoleum used to stand.
After Lu Zhou put away his astrolabe, he did not stop. His cultivation base was enough to deal with Yong He. This was the first beast emperor that he could deal with without using any item cards.
Meanwhile, Ye Wei and the others were further shocked.
“There’s no doubt he’s a Venerable Master. The Birth Chart power earlier is much stronger than that of someone with only ten Birth Charts!”
“Then, why didn’t he use the power of the Dao?”
At this moment, Lu Zhou who had turned vaguely translucent landed next to Yong He.
With one’s true body and wisdom, one can reveal one’s vast strength. With the cloud medallion, one would be able to hide from sight and avoid detection through various Heavenly powers.
This was Lu Zhou’s latest Heavenly Writing Power.
Yong He’s tentacles shot through his body, but they could not hurt him at all now that he was incorporeal.
Ye Wei and the others. “…”
Was this not the power of the Dao?
