Chapter 1475: The White Emperor’s Dignity (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The fierce beasts in the sky looked to the left and right in confusion, unable to find Lu Zhou.
The people from the Evil Sky Pavilion had dumbfounded expressions on their faces upon seeing this.
“Did Pavilion Master use the grand technique?”
“It doesn’t seem like it. If he had used the grand technique, there’d be traces left behind no matter the speed. On the contrary, Pavilion Master seemed like he had vanished into thin air.”
“Perhaps, he froze time?”
“That’s possible.”
It seemed like they did not notice Lu Zhou did not use the Hourglass of Time. After all, the higher one’s comprehension of the law was, the longer one would be able to freeze time.
At the same time, Lu Zhou, Little Yuan’er, and Conch appeared at the foot of the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction. The trio looked around them for a while.
It was as though a dark city wall stood in front of them. When they looked up, they could see a faint blue light that indicated they were at the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction.
At this moment.
Rumble!
Rocks began to roll down the mountain nearby.
At the same time, a gigantic Three-headed tribesman emerged from the darkness. With his three heads and six eyes, he looked at Lu Zhou, Little Yuan’er, and Conch. Strange noises rang from his mouth before he finally said in a low voice, “Those who approach the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction
must die!”
Then, the gigantic Three-headed tribesman swung his arm at Lu Zhou.
Little Yuan’er, who was as strong as a Venerable Master now, and Conch were slightly nervous.
On the contrary, Lu Zhou looked at the Three-headed tribesman indifferently. When the gigantic Three-headed tribesman swung his hand, he brought out the White Emperor’s jade token and showed it to the Three-headed tribesman.
As expected, the Three-headed tribesman dropped his hand. He looked at the jade token in Lu Zhou’s hand with a complicated expression.
Lu Zhou asked, “Why aren’t you bringing me into the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction?”
Then, contrary to Lu Zhou’s expectations, the gigantic Three-headed tribesman swung his arm again and cried out fiercely, “Die!”
‘Hm?
Lu Zhou used the power of teleportation again and brought Little Yuan’er and Conch away. He reappeared behind the gigantic Three-headed tribesman and put away the jade token before he struck with his palm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lu Zhou flew out along with the golden palm seal that was 3,000 meters, pushing the Three-headed tribesman back.
At the same time, Lu Zhou frowned as he thought to himself, ‘I’ve overestimated the White Emperor. The jade token is useless! Where’s the White Emperor’s dignity?
The Three-headed tribesman turned around before he opened his three mouths and roared, releasing ear-piercing soundwaves.
“Let’s go.” Lu Zhou brought Little Yuan’er and Conch before he flew toward the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction like a ship. He flew 10,000 meters in the air, crossing the endless darkness and the city wall at a high speed.
‘The Three-headed tribesman’s soundwaves tore through the sky, shocking everyone.
Following that, countless Three-headed tribesmen swarmed out on the ground, and the gigantic Three-headed tribesman leaped up into the air.
Lu Zhou turned around and said in a deep voice, “Scram!”
Flawed Perfection!
The shocking palm seal flew out and landed on the gigantic Three-headed tribesman in just a blink of an eye.
Boom!
While the palm seal pushed the Three-headed tribesman back, Lu Zhou continued flying with Little Yuan’er and Conch in tow.
Although the Three-headed tribesman was in pain, he did not suffer much damage. After he landed on the ground, he looked at the sky before he leaped up again.
Lu Zhou who saw this muttered to himself inwardly, ‘What a terrifying leap.”
“Master!” Little Yuan’er exclaimed in shock when she saw a pair of black wings appear on the back of the gigantic Three-headed tribesman.
“Don’t worry. Let’s go,” Lu Zhou said before he used the power of teleportation again.
Whoosh!
The trio vanished into thin air again.
The gigantic Three-headed tribesman hovered in the air and looked around in confusion, unable to find Lu Zhou. He roared angrily before he rose higher up into the sky with a flap of his wings.
Whoosh!
At the same time, Lu Zhou, Little Yuan’er, and Conch appeared in the distant sky. They hovered outside the area where the light illuminated. They could not help but sigh emotionally when they looked at the relatively brighter sky and environment.
“To think there’s light in the Great Abyss Land…”
“It’s so beautiful…” Little Yuan’er said as she looked at the lush and verdant environment, mesmerized.
“It looks like the Great Void,” Conch said.
“You remember what the Great Void looks like?”
“N-not really. I only know that it looks similar…” Conch replied as she held her head with both hands. Her mind was in chaos. Ever since she received Luo Xuan’s inheritance, her mind had been in a mess.
Little Yuan’er wondered out loud, “Could it be that the Great Abyss Land is the Great Void?”
Lu Zhou shook his head. “Impossible. Otherwise, the ten Pillars of Destruction would lose their meaning…”
If Little Yuan’er was right, it would be enough to have the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction. There was no need to have the other nine Pillars of Destruction.
The trio hovered in the darkness. They only needed to advance a little more to step into the light.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At this time, five figures appeared in the air. They were five men dressed in long robes. All of them had a pair of wings on their backs.
‘The man standing in the center had white hair, and his entire body emitted a faint light. It was clearly the Saint Light.
Lu Zhou was unable to determine if the men before him were humans or fierce beasts due to the wings on their backs.
Since ancient times, humans and fierce beasts have coexisted. The line of distinction had grown blurry over the years, and there were many records that spoke of deities that were half-human and half-fierce beast.
The two sides stood across from each other.
Lu Zhou frowned as he glanced down and saw that he was being surrounded.
At this time, the gigantic Three-headed tribesman finally arrived.
Upon seeing this, the winged man said in a soft and calm voice, “There’s nothing for you to do here. You can leave now.”
The Three-headed tribesman’s anger was instantly extinguished. He bowed respectfully to the winged man before he turned and round and left.
Lu Zhou looked at the gigantic Three-headed tribesman briefly before he looked at the hundreds-of-thousands-feet-tall dark circular platform where the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction stood.
Lu Zhou suddenly recalled a scene from the memory crystal where lotus of all colors fell from the sky as cultivators died. This scene would occasionally appear in Lu Zhou’s mind in the past. He finally found out where that scene had taken place; that scene had taken place near the foot of the Great Abyss
Land’s Pillar of Destruction.
Ji Tiandao had come here and stole the Great Void Seed from this place.
“So it’s this place…” Lu Zhou murmured to himself.
At this time, the winged man in the center looked at Lu Zhou, Little Yuan’er, and Conch as he said, “Humans aren’t allowed to approach the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction.”
Lu Zhou looked at the winged man and asked, “Are you human or a fierce beast?”
The winged man frowned, clearly displeased by Lu Zhou’s questioning tone.
The distinction between humans and fierce beasts was not mentioned in the Great Abyss Land. Humans liked to boast that they were superior and looked down on everything and everyone; they thought they were the leader of all things.
After a moment, the winged man said in a cold and calm voice, “Those who approach the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction… will be killed without mercy.”
“Killed without mercy?”
“The rules at the Great Abyss Land have always been like this,” the winged man said expressionlessly.
“The Great Abyss Land was the original name of the Great Void. This place is also called Ren Ding, which means mankind determines their fates. This also implies that humans are able to defy heaven. The Great Abyss Land must be directly above us…” Lu Zhou speculated.
‘The Great Void occupied the twelve positions according to the ancient time measuring unit.
“You’re quite knowledgeable, but unfortunately… you’re not worthy.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
As soon as the winged man’s voice fell, the other four winged men flashed and surrounded Lu Zhou, Little Yuan’er, and Conch.
Lu Zhou brought out the White Emperor’s jade token again before he said in a deep voice, “Bring me into the Pillar of Destruction.”
‘The jade token in Lu Zhou’s hand shone with the light from the Great Abyss Land, illuminating the word ‘White’ on the jade token.
The winged man seemed slightly startled. “The White Emperor?”
Lu Zhou said tonelessly, “I wonder if the White Emperor is worthy…”
The winged man remained silent.
Lu Zhou saw that the winged man’s expression was slightly unnatural so he tossed the jade token over.
‘The winged man caught the jade token and took a look. Then, he bowed to Lu Zhou and said, “As it turns out, you’re the White Emperor’s people. Please.”
With that, the other four winged men flew back to their original positions.
Lu Zhou flew toward the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction with Little Yuan’er and Conch in tow. He inhaled deeply, taking in the fresh air, the rich Primal Qi, and the fragrance of the grass that carpeted the land below him.
After a brief moment, Lu Zhou raised his head to look at the sky. It was as though he had entered a large circular open-air arena.
The Pillar of Destruction stood in the middle of the ‘arena’ as the sun shone directly above it.
“The sun…” Lu Zhou felt that the sun was a very dazzling sight. It took a while before he regained his senses. It had been a long time since he last saw the sun. Feeling refreshed, he advanced with his hands on his back.
At this time, after studying the different expressions on the trio’s faces, the winged man flew forward and said without any prompt, “You must have traveled a long way to the Unknown Land. This is the Great Abyss Land; the only place in the Unknown Land that has sunlight.”
