Chapter 1757 - No Way to Live, and No Way to Die
The four ancient lords felt their bodies and souls trembling. When the powerful electric arcs fell on them, their bodies and Eight Extraordinary Meridians felt as though they were on fire. They struggled as they let out a heart-wrenching cry. They wanted to avoid the attacks of Lu Zhou’s two avatars.
At this time, Lu Zhou suddenly appeared between the two avatars. Then, he pushed his hand down. Just like that, the entire space below seemed to have frozen and formed an enclosed space. The enclosed space, which was like a cage, was formed by Lu Zhou’s divine Dao power.
Yu Zhenghai exclaimed in surprise, “How’s this possible?”
Ye Tianxin and Zhao Yue were too dumbstruck to say anything. They thought they were powerful enough and getting closer and closer to their master. However, when they saw the two avatars, they understood one thing: they might not be able to catch up to their master for the rest of their lives.
A cultivator could only form one avatar. That had always been the case since the dawn of time. No cultivator had more than one avatar.
Lu Zhou’s disciples did not know how he did it. They only felt their understanding of the world and common sense had been overturned at this moment.
Yu Zhenghai turned to Yu Shangrong and said, “Old Second, I’ve always felt that your cultivation path is the most unique in the world. I thought master’s lotus color was just unique, but there was nothing special in essence. I didn’t expect that master has long embarked on such a unique and special path…”
Yu Shangrong nodded and said, “Thank you for your praise, Eldest Senior Brother. I originally thought so as well. I wonder what else master has been hiding from us.”
How many years had it been since they left the Evil Sky Pavilion before they returned again? How many changes had they experienced since then? During the entire time, their master had refreshed their worldview over and over again. However, it was not surprising for their master to have so many hidden trump cards. After all, no one would expose their trump cards for no reason. However, why did it feel like their master had endless trump cards?
“Who knows? I’ve already grown numb to the surprises,” Yu Zhenghai said.
Ye Tianxin added, “In fact, this is understandable. Master is the Unholy One. That aside, the Four Supremes of the Sacred Temple seems, seems to be… master’s students.”
The other three understood the meaning behind Ye Tianxin’s words.
In the past, all of the disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion, except for Little Yuan’er who had no ill intentions, betrayed their master and sect.
The Four Supremes of the Sacred Hall used to be students of Grand Mystic Mountain, and they had also betrayed the Unholy One, becoming lackeys of the Sacred Temple.
How could the Unholy One make the same mistake over and over again?
Hence, their master’s vigilance and secrecy were understandable.
The four disciples sighed at the same time.
At this time…
Boom!
A wave of energy swords landed on the four ancient lords, and they cried out in pain again.
“Arghh!”
“A life for a life! Help me!” Ancient Lord Nanfang cried out.
Then, the other three ancient lords pushed their hands out, sending Ancient Lord Nanfang out. Then, he shot toward the sky like a pillar of light toward the blue avatar that pressured them greatly. As long as he could severely injure the avatar, the owner would be severely injured as well.
At the critical moment, the blue avatar suddenly disintegrated into pieces.
“What’s this?!” Yu Zhenghai exclaimed.
“The avatar disintegrated?!”
“How’s this possible?!”
Not only were the four disciples shocked, but the three ancient lords looking at the shattered blue avatar were shocked as well.
Ancient Lord Nanfang spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the empty as he said mournfully, “What a loss!”
Boom!
Ancient Lord Nanfang knew they could not turn back now. His energy exploded, and he perished.
Lu Zhou imbued his body and the golden avatar with his divine Dao power. Electric arcs covered his entire body, and his divine mark robe surged with Primal Qi. Following that, energy seals appeared around him.
“Sun disk!”
“A fake supreme being is fake after all. Die.”
Lu Zhou’s light disk fell from the sky.
Cultivators who were not supreme beings were like ants in front of supreme beings. The difference was not only in the great laws but the light disks as well. The light disk was a crushing force to Great Dao Saints. Light disks could often ignore the laws of cultivators below the stage of a Great Dao Saint. Lesser laws were almost useless against light disks.
“Light disk!”
The remaining three ancient lords’ faces were ashen as they looked at the sky in despair, losing all thoughts of resisting. They looked at the light disk in a daze. The two avatars had already shocked them, and the addition of the light disk made them give up completely.
Suddenly, Ancient Lord Dongfang pushed his hands out, bringing out his avatar and astrolabe. He laughed in a mournful manner, looking as though he was crying instead. His robes had been torn by the battle, and his protective energy had long been shattered, leaving him vulnerable.
“No!” the other ancient lords cried out.
“This is heaven’s will. It’s all heaven’s will!” Ancient Lord Dongfang said, “The Unholy One has returned, and the end of the world is imminent! Let’s just die!” Then, he turned to his comrades and said, “I hope that in the next life we can still be brothers!”
“Alright!”
The other ancient lords’ expressions became determined as they flew toward Ancient Lord Dongfang.
“If you want to die, then let’s die together!”
Lu Zhou said, “If you want to die, you have to ask my permission!”
As soon as these words were uttered, the blue avatar suddenly appeared at the side and slashed with its sword, shattering the void and the sky.
The ancient lords’ astrolabes were cleaved into two by the blue avatar’s energy sword, and their arms were also severed from their bodies. In just a moment, blood spurted out from their ghastly wounds.
At the same time, the light disk fell on Ancient Lord Dongfang.
Boom!
A storm raged as the sky exploded. The storm wreaked havoc in the confined space.
The golden and blue avatars were like the most loyal guards, protecting Lu Zhou in the middle and shielding him from the raging storm.
When everything calmed down, Lu Zhou waved his hand, and the two avatars vanished into thin air immediately.
At the same time, Ancient Lord Beifang and Ancient Lord Xifang, whose arms had been severed, plummeted down from the sky. They were completely drenched with blood.
Lu Zhou landed in front of two of them. His body flashed with electric arcs as he looked at them with his soul-stirring blue eyes. His long hair fluttered in the air as the ancient Dragon Soul suppressed their will until their mind broke down and stopped moving.
The duo only looked at Lu Zhou’s blue eyes before their bodies began to tremble again. They did not dare to look at him again.
Lu Zhou looked at the duo and pushed his hand down.
Two energy seals landed on the duo’s Dantians’ seas of Qi.
The two ancient lords were already severely injured. How could they still resist? Without any suspense, their Dantians’ seas of Qi were destroyed, causing them to cry out miserably.
“You want a quick death? How can it be so easy? Let me show you who’s in charge today. You’ll see whether it’s the end of the world or the dawn of light in this dark world!”
The duo was confused, not understanding Lu Zhou’s words and actions.
‘Is he psycho? Does he intend to torture us?’
Finally, Ancient Lord Beifang said, “Whether you want to flay or kill us, you can do as you wish!”
“It’s easy to kill you. It’s no different from killing an ant,” Lu Zhou said as he shook his head, “If you want to die, after I leave, there’s plenty of time for you to kill yourself.”
“You…”
“What? You don’t have the courage to commit suicide?” Lu Zhou asked.
The two trembled as complicated emotions rose in their hearts.
Lu Zhou said contemptuously, “You’re as hypocritical as always. This is your nature.”
Yu Zhenghai chimed in from the side, “You stinky things are too stubborn! You’ve been here for so long so you should know the collapse of the pillars is inevitable. Also, what do you mean by saying my master’s return heralds the end of the world?! You ominous thing! This is the first time I’ve met such shameless people!”
Lu Zhou said tonelessly, “There’s no need to quibble with them. Time will prove everything. Go.”
Yu Zhengbai bowed. “Yes, I’ll go now.”
Yu Zhenghai flew toward the upper core immediately.
Subsequently, Ye Tianxin moved to stand in front of the two bloodied ancient lords. She shook her head and said, “Old geezers, you’re the most hateful worm in this world, and yet, you don’t know it?”
“...”
Ancient Lord Beifang, who could no longer endure it, said, “Kill me!”
“I won’t kill you… You should live to see the sky collapse so you’ll suffer forever. However, if you really can’t endure it, you can kill yourself,” Ye Tianxin said. She was reminded of the ten great sects of the Noble Path in the golden lotus domain. They were so similar in that they were all sanctimonious and disgusting.
