Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the red lines were connected, everyone looked at the sky in amazement.
Meng Changdong hurriedly brought out formation canvases from his bag and handed them to Shen Xi and Li Xiaomo as he said, “Set up the formation.”
“What are these?” Yan Zhenluo asked with a frown.
Meng Changdong handed the formation canvases out as he said, “Pan Zhong, Zhou Jifeng, don’t just stand there. Hurry up…”
The duo returned to their senses and hurriedly took the formation canvases.
Meng Changdong said, “The formation the high priest is casting is called the Blood Priest Sealing Formation. Its essence is similar to parasitic techniques and the great blood sacrifice technique. Basically, it’s a formation despised by the cultivation world. No wonder he doesn’t care about the lives of his tribesmen!”
When everyone heard about the Blood Priest Sealing Formation, they frowned, realizing the seriousness of the problem. Then, they hurriedly followed Meng Changdong and cast the formation.
“The Blood Priest Sealing Formation is a dark formation woven with blood. Only someone at the level of a Venerable Master can control this formation,” Meng Changdong said. Then, he pointed in front of him and said, “Stand in the direction of the formation.”
“Okay.”
Everyone quickly flew in all directions. All of them felt extremely pressured by the uncertainties of the battle.
“What are the effects of the Blood Priest Sealing Formation?” Yan Zhenluo asked.
“Once we’re sealed in the formation, we’ll lose our will and be controlled by the other party. We’ll be no different from the zombies.”
Thump!
Zhu Honggong fell to the ground. “It’s so terrifying?”
“Eighth Senior Brother, you’re so cowardly!” Little Yuan’er said. Then, she turned to look at Conch and said in a small voice, “Junior sister, Guardian Meng’s words are too terrifying!”
Everyone: “…”
‘Little ancestor, what’s with this double standard?’
Little Yuan’er and Conch stood behind the crowd when suddenly, several Void Chest tribesmen pounced on them.
Conch exclaimed, “Watch out!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Little Yuan’er left afterimages in her wake as she leaped up and kicked the Void Chest tribesmen away. When she landed, she said, surprised, “Uh… They’re not very scary…”
Meng Changdong called out, “Miss Ninth, Miss Tenth, come here.”
“Oh.”
The duo stood in the middle, surrounded by the others.
The blood thread that had connected swiftly sealed the area.
Meng Changdong smacked his hands on the ground, and the formation lit up.
A golden area with distinct edges appeared immediately.
Overjoyed, Meng Changdong said, “Everyone, come into the formation!”
Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, and the others also felt the strangeness of the blood thread so they hurried back. When they entered the golden area, the blood threads were instantly repelled.
Hua Yuexing and Hua Wudao hurriedly entered the golden area as well.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
“What about Lu Wu and Cheng Huang?”
The two mounts were too big to fit into the golden area, and it was even more difficult for them to avoid the blood threads.
Duanmu Sheng, who was standing on Lu Wu’s back, held the Overlord Spear with one hand and clenched his other hand as he asked, “What Blood Priest Sealing Formation? I don’t feel anything?”
The purple dragons flew out from Duanmu Sheng’s wrist as his eyes glowed with a purple light.
“The corrosive energy!” Meng Changdong exclaimed, “No wonder Mr. Third is unaffected by the Blood Priest Sealing Formation!”
Boom!
Duanmu Sheng and Lu Wu rushed out immediately, cutting through the sky. As Lu Wu fanned his tails out, Duanmu Sheng manifested his avatar. Then, they swept through the Void Chest tribesmen.
Upon seeing this, the high priest exclaimed in disbelief, “The corrosive energy?!”
Lu Zhou turned to look back. When he saw the golden formation protecting everyone, he relaxed. His gaze was piercing as he turned back to look at the high priest and said clearly, “From today onward, the Void Chest tribe will no longer exist.”
Buzz!
A towering avatar appeared, knocking away the blood threads.
When Lu Zhou felt numbness creeping up on him after coming in contact with the blood threads, he used the divine power to dispel the feeling.
Faint blue lightning bolts flashed in the golden avatar and…
Boom!
Tens of thousands Void Chest tribesmen were sent flying, splitting as soon as the attack landed.
Lu Zhou knew they were going to multiply again so he mobilized his karmic fire and drowned all of them in a sea of fire.
The high priest continued to laugh wildly as he retreated again. Tens of thousands of blood threads were connected to him.
Lu Zhou brought his hand up.
The Hourglass of Time once again released blue electric arcs, and the area within 1,000 meters came to a standstill.
Lu Zhou flashed and appeared in front of the high priest.
When time flowed again, the high priest looked shocked and furious. Then, a blood-red beam of light shot out his chest.
Bang!
Lu Zhou held up Unnamed in the form of a shield in front of him with one hand and pushed his other hand out.
“Flawed Perfection.”
Bang!
The high priest was sent flying back.
Lu Zhou flashed again, unleashing several Flawed Perfections. Each of them landed accurately on their target.
The high priest struggled to resist the attacks. However, the consecutive palm seals left him with no room to resist.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lu Zhou pushed the high priest until he was pushed out of the range of the Blood Priest Sealing Formation.
“W-why are you so strong?” The high priest’s confidence finally wavered. It grew even worse when he saw Duanmu Sheng, with his corrosive energy, rampaging in the Blood Priest Sealing Formation with his irrational fighting style, killing his fellow tribesmen.
“You only realized it now?” Lu Zhou asked. He appeared in front of the high priest in just a blink of an eye.
“Great Seal of Fearlessness!”
A Great Seal of Fearlessness as big as the sky shot out.
Boom!
The high priest was sent flying even further than before. When he arrived near the Pillar of Destruction, he suddenly vanished.
Lu Zhou stopped and chanted the mantras for the power of smell.
“Hm?” He quickly caught a familiar smell. When he turned around, he saw the high priest had appeared near the scepter.
The high priest pounced at Lu Zhou, attacking with his hand that turned into a bloody blade.
Lu Zhou was caught slightly off guard by the sudden transformation. Fortunately, with the divine power, it was nothing he could not handle. He attacked with his hand again.
Bang!
When the two palms seals met, the backlash swept toward the Pillar of Destruction, causing it to tremble.
Lu Zhou looked at the high priest.
“My life is connected to all of them. With the Blood Priest Sealing Formation in place and the life connection technique, you won’t be able to kill me?”
“Won’t be able to kill you?”
“Open your eyes and take a good look, lowly humans!”
Lu Zhou flew higher into the sky and saw an endless stream of Void Chest tribesmen coming from all directions.
“…”
There were too many of them that there was no quantifier to describe them.
How could the Void Chest tribe thrive in the Unknown Land?
The high priest laughed. “They’re my life, and I’m their lives. This is the power of a superior race! We’re a revered race! Only we can live forever in this world!”
As soon as his voice fell…
Swoosh!
Under the dense fog near the Pillar of Destruction, an elegant young woman dressed in a yellow dress sitting on the back of a white crane appeared, watching everything with great interest. The hem of her long dress fell off the white crane’s back. Her eyes were limpid, and her five fingers were slender and fair.
“Live forever?”
Her melodious voice entered everyone’s ears.
The high priest was shocked. He burst forth with energy and shot to the other end across from the woman. Then, he said, “Yao Ji?”
Princess Mulberry frowned slightly and asked, “Eh? You know me?”
The high priest said, “In the Unknown Land, who doesn’t know the name Yao Ji…”
“Oh.” Then, Princess Mulberry asked in a leisurely manner, “You can live forever?”
She seemed to be very invested in this question, as though she was eager to know the truth.
The high priest said, “There are many ways to live forever. Only ignorant humans deny the possibility of eternal life! Whether it was the all-powerful Prince Ye or the Great God She Bi, didn’t they both obtain eternal lives? Naturally, this includes the princess.”
Princess Mulberry chuckled. “Your words are pleasing enough.”
The high priest asked somewhat fearfully, “I heard the princess doesn’t usually leave the ring-shaped lake and the Pillar of Destruction. Is the princess going somewhere?”
Princess Mulberry looked down and said in a low voice, “No. I’m not in the mood.”
“That’s great.”
“You guys continue,” Princess Mulberry said as she stood quietly in the air.
At this time, Lu Zhou looked at the high priest and asked, “Do you really think I can’t kill you?”
The high priest laughed and said, “Lowly humans like you can only rely on Birth Charts! Look at us! We, the superior race, have mastered the life connection technique! These countless tribesmen symbolize my eternal life! How can you kill me!”
At this time, the blood threads began to wrap on the scepter.
“Alright, let’s give it a try then,” Lu Zhou said as he swooped down. He did not give the high priest time to react and arrived before the high priest at lightning speed. Then, he smacked his palm that was like Mount Tai down.
Boom!
The high priest tried to block the blow but was pushed down.
“Confinement Seal!”
Boom!
The Confinement Seal pressed down on the high priest’s head. With the additional pressure, he continued to fall and hit the ground.
Lu Zhou looked at the Void Chest tribesmen in all directions, connected by the blood threads. He knew the high priest was not dead. He stepped on the Confinement Seal and stomped his foot repeatedly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lu Zhou did not stop stomping on the Confinement Seal. When his speed reached its peak, the others could only see afterimages moving up and down.
The Confinement Seal sank 1,000 meters in the ground, forming a pit.
After stomping on the Confinement Seal one more time, he leaped up into the air. When he raised his hand, Unnamed in the form of a sword hovered before him.
“One gives birth to two; two gives birth to three; three gives birth to all things. All things bear and embrace Yin and Yang!”
With that, Unnamed released countless energy swords and eight flying swords that swept out in all directions. They pierced through countless Void Chest tribesmen.
Energy swords filled the area within 10,000 meters.
The flying sword technique was too domineering. The energy swords swept forth from six directions through the desolate land!
At this time, a hint of surprise could be seen on Princess Mulberry’s face. She had to rise higher to avoid the energy swords. As she looked at the energy swords reaping lives, the severed limbs, and dismembered corpses, she muttered under her breath, “It’s been a long time since I last saw such a powerful human.”
The energy swords continued attacking until the Void Chest tribesmen could no longer get up, and silence descended on Ji Ming.
High up in the sky, Lu Zhou clenched his hand and said, “Withdraw.”
Whoosh!
There was only one sound before all the energy swords vanished in unison.
Unnamed hovered in front of him, spinning slowly.
On the white crane’s back, Princess Mulberry took two steps forward as she nodded. “Hmm? Void? As it turns out, it’s a ‘void’?”
Meanwhile, everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion was shocked by Lu Zhou’s flying sword technique. The energy swords were too visually impactful! When they looked at the mountains of VTC’s corpses, they could not speak for a long time. No matter how many times they saw Lu Zhou in action, each time he would not fail to shock them and refresh their worldviews.
After Lu Zhou put Unnamed away, he raised his head and asked, “Void?”
Princess Mulberry said in a leisurely manner, “Yellow, mystic, earth, heaven, desolate, flood, fusion, and infinite. Everything has spirits, and they will return to the great void. Void is the highest grade weapon known at present. Why do you have a void-grade weapon?”
Lu Zhou did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, “Why? The Great Void claims to be the strongest so the highest grade weapons are called void?”
Princess Mulberry thought that Lu Zhou had a point so she nodded. “Yes.”
It had to be said that Lu Zhou did not have a bad impression of Princess Mulberry. At least, for now, she seemed like a very straightforward and harmless person. Naturally, there was no guarantee this was truly the case; she could just be extremely cunning.
“You still haven’t told me how you have a void-grade weapon?” Princess Mulberry asked.
“Why can’t I have one?” Lu Zhou asked.
“Those who can wield void-grade weapons are at least Saints. Although some of your earlier attacks are like that of a Saint, you’re not a Saint,” Princess Mulberry said.
Lu Zhou thought for a moment and asked, “Do you want a void-grade weapon?”
Who knew if the woman had the intention to seize Unnamed. There was no harm in being cautious. After all, dangers come with treasures.
Princess Mulberry shook her head and said, “I have no interest in it.” Then, she pointed at the Confinement Seal and said, “Even if you have the void-grade weapon in your hand, you can’t kill him.”
“Hmm?”
“Look.”
Lu Zhou looked at where she was pointing and saw the blood threads on the scepter.
At this moment, the Confinement Seal began to tremble.
“His life is shared with the Void Chest tribesmen tribesmen and heaven and earth. If he doesn’t die, the others won’t as well; it’s the same vice versa,” Princess Mulberry said, “However, I can kill him. I’ll consider it if you beg me…”
“…”
‘Did I think she was straightforward and harmless earlier? After going around in circles for such a long time, she was actually digging a hole for me to jump into?’
Lu Zhou asked, “You can kill him?”
Princess Mulberry clasped her hands in front of her. Her slender figure and her yellow dress made her look like a blooming magnolia. Then, she said confidently, “There’s no one I can’t kill.”
“Do you speak to the people of Great Void in such a manner as well?”
“I can kill the people from the Great Void as well… except for those old antiques,” Princess Mulberry said, “Hurry and beg me. He’s going to come out soon!”
Buzz!
The Confinement Seal trembled again.
