Chapter 1426: The High Priest’s Formation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The high priest’s long robe shone with a faint green light. After he pulled the group of Void Chest tribesn up, he threw them to the side.
After the strands of light dissipated, the group of Void Chest tribesn hovered in the air as the holes in their chests began to shine brightly.
Lu Wu naturally would not give them a chance to attack. It opened its mouth and exhaled a wave of white mist.
Creak.
Ice Seal!
As the chilling frost energy swept out, it froze all the Void Chest tribesn in the air and on the ground, turning them into ice sculptures.
Surprisingly, not only was the high priest not afraid, but he scoffed before he flipped backward. “A re beast emperor dares to be so arrogant?”
“Where did he get the courage to look down on a beast emperor?” Yan Zhenluo was speechless.
“Don’t look down on the opponent. Clearly, he’s aware of Lu Wu from before. Lu Wu, be careful!” Duanmu Sheng cried out.
Roar!
Lu Wu stomped his front legs, shattering the ice sculptures.
Alas, Lu Zhou did not receive any rit points. After becoming a Great Venerable Master, it was getting harder and harder to obtain rit points. He could no longer obtain points from low-level targets.
Lu Wu’s Ice Seal got rid of thousands of Void Chest tribesn.
At this ti, the high priest thrust his scepter up into the air. Following that, a ray of light rippled out. In just a mont, it had expanded about 10,000 feet away.
Cries and shouts rang out from the mountain, shaking the sky and land. Subsequently, countless Void Chest tribesn rushed out of the mountain and forest as though they had disregarded their lives. At the sa ti, the Void Chest tribesn in the air began to fall into position, sealing off all exits in the air.
“Heavens! There are so many of them?!” Zhu Honggong exclaid.
With so many of them, most people would have been frightened.
At this ti, the high priest asked in a deep voice that traveled to the distance, “Do you know why I want to kill you?”
“Why?” Lu Zhou asked.
“My family, the Void Chest tribe, stayed within the range of our Pillar of Impermanence for more than 1,000 years. My people sacrificed their lives to let the pillar grow. However, you took it away,” the high priest said.
Lu Zhou said disapprovingly, “When did the Pillar of Impermanence belong to your tribe? It’s your business if you want to sacrifice your life to the pillar. Since I’m capable of taking it away, it’s mine.”
“You have a point. Nevertheless, the flas of fury in my heart burn high. This kind of flas can only be extinguished with your death,” the high priest said.
Lu Zhou shook his head and called out, “Lu Wu.”
Although there were many Void Chest tribesn, there was still no need for Lu Zhou to make a move.
Boom!
Lu Wu leaped into the air as its tails swept across the Void Chest tribesn.
The high priest did not seem to care at all as he watched his tribesn being killed by Lu Wu.
When Lu Zhou looked down, he felt chills running up his spine. Those Void Chest tribesn who had fallen would split open when they touched the ground, forming many smaller Void Chest tribesn.
“Damn! They’re really strange! Master!” Mingshi Yin, who was just about to seize the chance to show his skills, suddenly changed direction and appeared behind Lu Zhou.
“The high priest cursed them. What a vicious curse,” Kong Wen said.
ng Changdong, who was standing at the back, said, “Mr. Seventh and I have co across this kind of curse before. It’s indeed a vicious curse. We can’t kill them like this. Their number will only increase.”
“Lu Wu, stop.”
Lu Wu leaped back behind the crowd and sat on its haunches imdiately.
At this mont, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, one on the left and one on the right, attacked the Void Chest tribesn.
The high priest continued to watch indifferently.
The more they killed, the more the number of the Void Chest tribesn multiplied.
“This is too f*cking disgusting!” Mingshi Yin cursed.
“Mr. Fourth is right! It’s really too disgusting,” Pan Zhong chid in.
At this mont, high up in the sky, Hua Yuexing drew the bowstring back. In just a few breaths, she released hundreds of arrows that pierced the spot under the Void Chest tribesn’s armpits accurately.
“Great Dark Heaven morial!”
The Jasper Saber spun along with a huge energy saber like a windmill, crushing the Void Chest tribesn.
When Yu Zhenghai saw the smaller Void Chest tribesn, he frowned. “How troubleso.”
“Interesting,” Yu Shangrong said tonelessly.
Needless to say, the duo did not need Lu Zhou to stop them. Their judgnts were accurate. They put away their sword and saber before flying back to join the others.
Pan Zhong turned around and asked, “Isn’t there a way to deal with this curse?”
ng Changdong shook his head and said, “No. We only have a shallow understanding of the curse.”
The number of Void Chest tribesn began to grow as they advanced.
At this ti, the high priest said again, “Ignorant and ugly humans! What curse? This is a holy technique of my tribe! It’s a blessing!”
“A blessing? Your bodies break open and you multiply. You can still call this a blessing?” Mingshi Yin said.
“There’s no pain and no death, only strength. How’s this not a blessing?” the high priest said in return.
“Oh, then the big ones are the fathers; when they split into smaller ones, they’re the children. Co, tell , where are their mothers?” Mingshi Yin said mockingly. Then, without waiting for a reply, he continued to say provocatively, “Wait, don’t tell that Void Chest tribesn don’t have parents. After all, this is how you ‘procreate’! How disgusting. Do you have ancestors? If you do, won’t you feel ashad to face them when you die for treating a curse as a blessing? If you don’t, then you’re truly pitiful. You’re even worse than animals!”
The high priest was enraged by Mingshi Yin’s words. He waved his scepter and said, “I’ll skin you alive!”
Buzz!
The scepter thrumd as strands of light connected the Void Chest tribesn. Following that, the sky full of Void Chest tribesn pounced forward without any regard for their lives.
“Retreat,” Lu Zhou said.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong stayed at the sides, using energy seals to keep the Void Chest tribesn away. However, they had no choice but to kill a few of them with their sword and saber. At least, they could use the ti while the Void Chest tribesn were multiplying to retreat.
Lu Zhou pushed his hand out.
Boom!
A mountain-like palm seal fell, knocking a great number of Void Chest tribesn away. Alas, as soon as they touched the ground, they would split and form new Void Chest tribesn.
Lu Zhou frowned, wondering how he should deal with them.
The high priest said frostily, “You’ll die at the foot of the Pillar of Destruction in Ji Ming today! Kill them!”
Under the control of the high priest, the Void Chest tribesn charged forward mindlessly.
“What to do? What to do? Master?” Zhu Honggong panicked.
“Calm down,” Mingshi Yin said as he rode on Qiong Qi’s and flew to Zhu Honggong’s side, “Have you forgotten master’s words to you? You lack confidence, and you’re too timid!”
Zhu Honggong said with a sad face, “I’m not timid. When we were going to the red lotus domain for the first ti, I bravely leaped out of the Sky Shuttle to buy everyone ti! However, this… this is too scary!”
Mingshi Yin said, “Coward.”
“Fourth Senior Brother, why aren’t you afraid? Do you have so tricks up your sleeve?” Zhu Honggong asked in a low voice.
“Tricks?” Mingshi Yin looked at Zhu Honggong with an inexplicable gaze.
At this mont, a big Void Chest tribesman whose body was blood-red broke through the energy seals and pounced at them.
Mingshi Yin’s eyes widened. “Dodge!”
Swoosh!
Mingshi Yin and Qiong Qi were like a shooting star as they shot into the forest, leaving the others behind.
Everyone: “...”
They felt speechless.
Among the group, the person who was working the hardest was Qin Naihe. He was close to becoming a Venerable Master, after all. His energy seals kept the Void Chest tribesn away, protecting everyone. However, as ti passed, the enemies’ frenzied attacks did not stop at all, causing him to feel pressured.
“Pavilion Master!”
Lu Zhou turned to look at Qin Naihe who was being pressured. With a tap of his feet, he flew out. Since he could not kill the Void Chest tribesn, he would capture their leader.
Swoosh!
“You dare to behave atrociously in front of ?”
Everyone held their breaths as Lu Zhou flew out. They looked forward to seeing how Lu Zhou would solve this problem.
The high priest swung his scepter, and over 1,000 Void Chest tribesn stood in front of him to shield him.
Lu Zhou pushed his hand out as he flew horizontally.
Boom!
With the force that could split the sky and the land, Lu Zhou breached the line of Void Chest tribesn and continued to fly toward the high priest.
The high priest said in a deep voice, “I have long expected this. You humans are inferior to us! Poor wretches, prepare to die!”
Then, the high priest roared as he spread his arms.
Buzz!
Nearly 10,0000 Void Chest tribesn on the ground ford an eight trigrams formation. Their chests were pointed up at Lu Zhou. Following that, beams of light shot out from the holes in their chests toward Lu Zhou.
A lotus blood under Lu Zhou’s feet. The bottom of the lotus easily blocked the beams of light.
“As it turns out, you’re a Venerable Master. No wonder you dare to behave arrogantly in the Unknown Land,” the high priest said as he flew back 1,000 ters at high speed.
Void Chest tribesn on both sides leaped into the air, trying to stop Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou had to slow down due to the obstruction.
“Flaming Golden Lotus.”
Flaming golden lotuses shot out of the golden lotus under Lu Zhou’s feet and swept out in all directions like a tornado. In just a mont, the area within 1,000 ters was turned into a sea of fire.
“When did master beco so strong?” Zhu Honggong gulped.
“Master has always been strong. Eighth Senior Brother, did you knock your head while you were in the yellow lotus domain?” Little Yuan’er asked.
The sea of fire kept burning the Void Chest tribesn even as they multiplied. This kept repeating until the Void Chest tribesn were only the size of a fist. Not long after that, miserable cries began to ring in the air.
“It’s effective! The karmic flas work!” ng Chandong exclaid excitedly as he pointed at the charred miniature Void Chest tribesn who had stopped multiplying. When he cald down slightly, he said, “As expected of the karmic fire! It’d be great if I understood Dao inscriptions. Mr. Seventh said that curses are a kind of Dao inscriptions as well, and there are always ways to break curses.”
Lu Li nodded and said, “Mr. Seventh was truly knowledgeable. In a way, this curse is sowhat like our Birth Charts. They have to be killed many tis before they finally die. Everyone, pay attention. They can multiply five or six tis at most before they die. The bigger ones likely can multiply more tis, but there’s a limit!”
With this, hope blood in everyone’s hearts.
Yu Zhenghai stomped on the ground and rushed forward, bursting forth with golden karmic fire.
Yu Shangrong also burst forth with the karmic fire.
Since most of the disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion had the karmic fire, it did not take long for the entire eastern side of the Pillar of Destruction to turn into a sea of fire.
Lu Wu continued sitting on its haunches. Since it could not spit fire, it could not help.
Duanmu Sheng stood at the side and watched as well.
Lu Zhou turned around and saw that his disciples were slowly turning the tide after being enlightened with his Flaming Golden Lotus. Feeling relieved, he continued flying toward the high priest.
The high priest continued to fly backward. He was not afraid nor was he sad that his tribesn were being burned to death. On the contrary, his eyes were bright, and he looked strangely excited. Then, he began to laugh as he looked at the sea of fire, looking as though he had lost his mind.
Lu Zhou frowned. “Freeze!”
The Hourglass of Ti shot out.
Blue electric arcs swept out, covering an area of 1,000 ters.
Everything fell silent.
In just a blink of an eye, Lu Zhou appeared in front of the high priest. His hand was like a divine mountain as he pushed it out.
Ti resud and…
Boom!
The high priest’s eyes widened in shock and anger as he cried out, “Impossible!”
Then, the high priest spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Zhou’s protective energy prevented the blood from splashing on him.
The high priest continued to fly back. His eyes were filled with shock.
Lu Zhou brought the Hourglass of Ti back and turned around to survey the situation. The tide had turned in their favor now.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong’s karmic fire burned the Void Chest tribesn, forcing them to retreat.
At this mont, the high priest gripped the scepter in his hand tightly. Blood spurted out from the hole in his chest; the droplets of blood like scarlet butterflies in the air. They circled the scepter before flying down.
Subsequently, the high priest tossed the scepter down.
Bang!
The scepter pierced into the ground.
From the very beginning, Lu Zhou had already felt the Void Chest tribe was very strange. They were able to survive in the Unknown Land for so long, and they seed to be growing stronger as well. Clearly, they were not without ans.
Lu Zhou brought out the Pillar of Impermanence.
The Pillar of Impermanence buzzed loudly.
“You want the Pillar of Impermanence?”
The high priest’s face twisted into a ferocious expression as he roared, “Hand over the Pillar of Impermanence!”
Lu Zhou said tonelessly, “That’ll have to depend if you have the ability to snatch it back.”
Then, Lu Zhou pressed the Pillar of Impermanence into the ground. It began to expand and spin imdiately. Vitality energy and life force began to converge toward it as it absorbed them.
The high priest’s face paled as he shouted, “Get into formation!”
Boom!
The blood butterflies that were churning like a vortex next to the scepter suddenly flew toward the Void Chest tribesn, leaving red lines on their bodies.
At the sa ti, a large number of Void Chest tribesn rushed in from the distance. Their number was astonishing.
With this, the red lines on their bodies began to connect with each other.
