Chapter 1630: The Five Planetary Divine Incumbents (2)
Upon hearing this, Li Chun exclaimed in surprise, “Then, isn’t he the Creator?”
“It’s not the Creator. It’s just that it was born a long, long time ago and had done many great deeds in the human world. Ancient records are filled with exaggerated accounts and words,” Lu Zhou said.
Li Chun chuckled and said, “My horizons have been broadened. I’m just a Dao Saint in Xuanyi Palace. I’m ashamed of my lack of knowledge.”
“Let’s not talk about this for now. If it’s really Ying Long, Xuanyi should retreat for now,” Lu Zhou said as he flew forward.
Based on Lu Zhou’s memories, even supreme beings might not be a match for Ying Long.
‘Why did such a powerful ancient Saint slayer appear southeast of Xuanyi Palace?’
As Lu Zhou flew, he looked down at the land to see if there were anything abnormal.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunder clapped as lightning bolts flashed in the sky among the dark clouds.
The bolts of lightning easily destroyed several mountain peaks.
Below the dark clouds, many cultivators could be seen flying in different directions.
“Your Majesty!” Li Chun rushed over at lightning speed. At the same time, he waved his hand, saving many cultivators.
A figure rushed over from afar. When he saw Lu Zhou, an expression of joy appeared on his face. “Pavilion Master Lu!”
Lu Zhou nodded. “Are you alright?”
Xuanyi looked at the dark clouds, not caring if he was alright or not at this moment. He said, “This beast is wreaking havoc everywhere. I won’t spare it if anything happens to Xuanyi Palace.” Then, he seemed to recall he had yet to answer Lu Zhou’s question so he hurriedly added with an embarrassed expression on his face, “I’m alright. It’s just a little strenuous to deal with it. It’s at least as strong as a greater supreme being.”
Lu Zhou looked at the dark clouds and asked, “Are you sure it’s Ying Long?”
Xuanyi said, “It’s just a guess. If it’s really Ying Long, then we would benefit a lot from our trip here.”
Lu Zhou cocked an eyebrow and asked, “You still hope to benefit from this trip?”
“This…” Xuanyi was at a loss for words.
At this moment, Li Chun flew over and briefly reported Ying Long’s strength.
Xuanyi said in surprise, “If that’s the case, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
“Let’s confirm its identity first,” Lu Zhou said.
Xuanyi was only a junior in front of the Unholy One. When the Unholy One was at his peak, Xuanyi was just a child. He had only heard stories about Ying Long and had never seen it. After listening to Lu Zhou’s words, a trace of fear appeared in his heart.
Boom!
A clap of thunder rumbled in the air as another lightning bolt struck down.
“Retreat!” Xuanyi called out.
The Dark Guards retreated one after another.
Zhang He hovered in the air; he was in a sorry state. He moved to stand near Xuanyi and asked, “Your Majesty, we lost three Dark Guards. What should we do next?”
Xuanyi said, “Prepare to retreat.”
“Retreat?” Zhang He frowned as he looked at the shadow hidden in the dark clouds. “If we retreat, we would have wasted fighting for half a day.”
Li Chun said, “You fought so hard for half a day, but it’s likely that the opponent is just warming up.”
Zhang He was shocked. Then, he quickly urged the Dark Guards to retreat.
The Dark Guards were well-trained. They quickly and efficiently followed the order.
Lu Zhou silently changed the mantra for the power of sight. His eyes flashed blue as he looked up. He saw a shadow swimming back and forth in the dark clouds. Indeed, it looked like a dragon. Earlier, he had thought that he would be able to obtain a good life heart or divine soul pearl. However, judging from the rhythm now, it seemed like he would have to retreat. The Ying Long was quite powerful.
However, was it Lu Zhou’s style to retreat and admit defeat?
Zhang He asked, “Should we inform the Sacred Temple and call for reinforcements? Perhaps, only the Sacred Temple can take it down.”
Xuanyi Palace would naturally rather give up Ying Long to the Sacred Temple than give it to any of the nine halls.
Lu Zhou fell deep into his thoughts as he looked at the shadow in the dark clouds. Why would Ying Long come here? Was Ying Long weakened just like Meng Zhang?
“Don’t move,” Lu Zhou said in a dark voice. Then, he flew into the dark clouds like a meteor.
“Pavilion Master Lu?!” Zhang He exclaimed.
Xuanyi’s eyes shone as he said, “Don’t worry. You’ll be able to catch a glimpse of Pavilion Master Lu’s cultivation once he makes a move.”
Xuanyi had listened to all kinds of legends about the Unholy One. As a ‘student’, how could he not want to see the amazing performance of his ‘teacher’?
Xuanyi looked at everyone and the bewildered and shocked expressions on their faces. He really wished he could announce his teacher’s identity now and let them be filled with awe and admiration. Alas, now was not the time.
…
In just a blink of an eye, Lu Zhou entered the dark clouds. The visibility was very bad.
At this moment, a shadow shot over.
Swoosh!
Following that, a sonorous cry reverberated throughout the sky.
“Flawed Perfection.”
Boom!
A huge golden palm seal sailed out among the dark clouds and hit the huge shadow. However, the shadow did not slow down at all and continued to fly over.
Lu Zhou raised his hand. The astrolabe appeared, shining dazzlingly.
Bang!
Lu Zhou flew back and put his astrolabe away.
“Unnamed.”
Countless energy swords appeared in the sky. Like a storm, they swept through the sky and stabbed at the shadow.
…
“Void grade!” Zhang He exclaimed in surprise.
The Dark Guards finally realized why Xuanyi treated Lu Zhou so well at this moment. With such strength and cultivation, Lu Zhou would be treated well in all of the ten halls.
…
The energy swords attacked before they returned to Lu Zhou one after another.
“The power of teleportation.”
Swoosh!
Lu Zhou suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, staring at the sky with a burning gaze.
Seeing that Lu Zhou had returned, Xuanyi asked, “How is it?”
“I haven’t tested its depth yet,” Lu Zhou said.
Xuanyi said, “This beast is really not simple.”
Then, Lu Zhou said, puzzled, “However, it doesn’t seem as strong as before…”
“Does this mean we have a chance to kill it?” Xuanyi asked.
“We don’t know the situation so we can’t act rashly,” Lu Zhou said.
“You’re right.”
Even if Ying Long had weakened, it was still not to be underestimated. It likely had many tricks up its sleeve.
Zhang He asked, “Then, should we retreat completely?”
“Wait a little longer,” Xuanyi said.
The land was devastated everywhere they looked.
Lu Zhou felt strange. After a brief moment, he raised his head and said in a deep voice, “Bast*rd, if you don’t want to die, then behave yourself.”
Dark clouds billowed, and the shadow continued to swim back and forth, clearly unbothered by Lu Zhou’s threats.
At this moment,a large number of cultivators rushed over from the northern sky. Some of them flew on their swords, and some of them rode on their avatars.
“The people from Shang Zhang Hall?”
“Ha! These bast*rds came to snatch the fruit of victory from us!” Li Chun cursed.
Xuanyi asked suspiciously, “Why would the people from Shang Zhang Hall suddenly appear at this place?”
The Great Void was vast. How did Shang Zhang Hall find out about what happened here so quickly?
At this moment, Shang Zhang, the attendant, finally arrived. He panted heavily as he called out, “Old sir!”
Upon seeing this, Li Chun laughed and said, “Little friend, if you don’t listen to me, you’ll be at a disadvantage. I want to take you flying, but you’re unwilling. You can’t blame anyone.”
Shang Zhang, the attendant, frowned, but he still said, “Yes.”
Xuanyi only glanced at Shang Zhang, the attendant. He did not seem to suspect anything. With his status, how could he pay attention to every helper and attendant in Xuanyi Palace?
Lu Zhou said, “Shang Zhang Hall arrived at the right time.”
Energy seals lit up the sky and shot into the dark clouds.
Shang Zhang looked at the dark clouds. “Ying Long?”
“Little friend, you really know a lot…” Li Chun felt that the attendant in front of him was very interesting.
Shang Zhang, the attendant, said awkwardly, “I’ve only heard of it. However, that thing here doesn’t seem to be Ying Long.”
“It’s not Ying Long?”
“Ying Long controls the wind and thunder. It was said that it was as big as the sky. Heaven could not tolerate it so it was banished to the human world. It also possesses a pair of void-grade items called the Golden Amber Battle Axe.It can illuminate the world, control the four seasons, and split heaven and earth apart,” Shang Zhang, the attendant, said.
“How can you be sure?” Lu Zhou asked.
The dark clouds rolled south at this moment.
Shang Zhang, the attendant, said, “Over there… I know its weakness. Bring me along.”
Lu Zhou nodded and said, “Let’s go.”
With a casual wave of his hand, Lu Zhou brought Shang Zhang with him and flew south.
Xuanyi was confused. “That person…”
“He’s Pavilion Master Lu’s attendant,” Li Chun said.
Zhang He did not care about this. Instead, he asked, “Your Majesty, should we chase after them?”
Xuanyi looked at the dark clouds and said, “Let Shang Zhang Hall take the lead first. Let them experience Ying Long’s power.”
“Your Majesty is wise.”
