Chapter 847: The Puppet and the Peak Trial Card
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Zhou who was standing on the Confinent Seal looked at Yu Chenshu whose head was lifted in confusion. Then, he raised his hand, and Unnad dislodged itself from the ground and flew back into his hand.
In order to break Yu Chenshu’s ‘immortal body’, Lu Zhou had used up half of the black runes on Unnad. However, he did not feel his heart ached over the loss; were they not ant to be used anyway? In any case, he could obtain more black runes in the future.
Following that, Lu Zhou brought out the Golden Taixu Mirror again and shone it on Yu Chenshu. The golden light laced with the now weaker extraordinary power shone out again.
Just like before, Yu Chenshu’s true form was revealed; there was a skeleton and what looked like a strange puppet in front of the skeleton. Both the skeleton and the puppet had one thing in common; their chests were damaged.
Upon seeing this again, the cultivators above the Sky Wheel Rift Valley began to discuss among themselves.
“Could it be a puppet?”
“What’s a puppet?”
“The puppet imitates its master and will receive damages on behalf of its master. This includes death. It’s a secret ancient technique. With the use of secret techniques and talismans, the puppet can steal the life essence and blood of hundreds of people, killing them. Using what’s stolen, it would fuse it into their blood, bones, and skin. This secret technique has been lost for a long ti. I didn’t expect soone to successfully cultivate it.”
The puppet was capable of dying in its master place. Moreover, the puppet was lifeless, to begin with, so how could it die? This was an unsolvable problem.
“Then, how do we kill the puppet or its master?”
Soone shook his head and answered, “I don’t know. However, all things have things that can restrain them. I’ve only read about this in an ancient book. I really don’t know how to kill a puppet slave.”
Those cultivators continued to watch for further developnts. Perhaps, they still might be able to obtain so benefits if the battle continued. If the Ten-leaf elites were heavily injured, it was not entirely impossible to reap so benefits. Even then, none of them dared to act recklessly. Who could guarantee the Ten-leaf elites, even if they were injured, would not seek revenge in the future.
...
Lu Zhou put the Golden Taixu Mirror away
anwhile, Yu Chenshu continued to look at the sky for a long ti.
After a long ti, a burst of creepy laughter rang in the air.
At this mont, blood was still flowing out of the hold in Yu Chenshu’s chest, staining his entire body, as he laughed.
Yu Chenshu chuckled as he said, “You’re the first person to hurt this puppet slave. I really underestimated you!” As he spoke, the bloody hole began to nd itself at a miraculous speed.
Lu Zhou frowned when he saw this. ‘What the hell is this?’
How could Lu Zhou give Yu Chenshu the chance to recover, puppet or not?
Lu Zhou struck again with a palm seal.
Boom!
The palm seal landed on Yu Chenshu’s body with a loud noise, causing him to fly back. However, just like a puppet, he did not seem to feel any pain. He untied a small red flag from his waist before he stabbed it into the ground. Subsequently, he joined his palms together. With this, Primal Qi from his Dantian’s sea of Qi began to flow out.
With the flag as the center, the energy and Primal Qi seed to have turned into tendrils of energies that spread out in all directions.
Soone cried out in horror, “The Life Siphoning Totem! Yu Chenshu actually possesses this thing from the foreign tribes! Hurry, retreat!”
With this warning, the cultivators scattered in all directions.
Alas, the range of the energy tendrils was rather long. They easily attached themselves to the cultivators near the Sky Wheel Mountain Range, absorbing their vitality and energy.
The flag suddenly increased in size, almost covering the entire valley.
Lu Zhou frowned. He stepped on the ground and flew into the sky. ‘What the f*ck is this?’
Lu Zhou surveyed his surroundings. Apart from the energy tendrils, the huge flag seed to be absorbing the cultivators’ vitality as well.
In the sky and at the bottom of the Sky Wheel Mountain Range, all the cultivators, except for those from the True Kunlun Sect and the Void Sect, seed willing to contribute their vitality to Yu Chenshu.
Realization dawned on Lu Zhou. He asked, “So, is this your plan to beat them at their own ga?”
Yu Chenshu spread his arms out, revitalized by the energy he was absorbing. He said, “I’m invincible!”
“Quickly! Cut it off!” Xuan Chengzi brought a blade out and cut the energy tendril that was attached to him.
Mo Xinglu followed suit.
“Gather!”
The cultivators from the True Kunlun Sect and the Void Sect gathered.
Following that, Mo Xinglu and Xuan Chengzi threw out talismans to nullify the life-siphoning energy tendrils.
As for the other cultivators, they did not bother since they were willing to contribute their vitality and energies to Yu Chenshu.
Before Yu Chenshu ca to the Sky Wheel Mountain Range, he had already guessed it might be a trap. Therefore, he had prepared this trump card. It did not matter Xuan Chengzi, Mo Xinglu, and their sect mbers managed to stop their vitality from being absorbed; the other cultivators were enough.
Lu Zhou wielded Unnad and cut the energy tendrils. Then, karmic fire began to surge out of his body. As expected, the energy tendrils could not co close to the karmic fire. However, to maintain the karmic fire on his body, he would be depleting his Primal Qi. Once his Primal Qi was depleted, how was he going to deal with Yu Chenshu for the second ti?
At this mont, Yu Chenshu said with a smile, “I didn’t expect I’d have to use this move. In any case, for an elite like you, I should show my respect by going all out.”
Whoosh!
At this mont, the place where Yu Chenshu was standing was like the eye of a tornado of Primal Qi and vitality.
Lu Zhou leaped forward with his body bathed in karmic fire. Then, he pressed his palm downward.
Abandon Wisdom!
Lu Zhou used all his extraordinary power in this palm seal.
anwhile, Yu Chenshu’s expression turned solemn as he stomped on the ground with both feet. With his actions, his robes were torn. Soon after, a life-like puppet appeared in front of him with its hands raised, clearly trying to block Abandon Wisdom!
Boom!
The blue palm seal smashed on Yu Chenshu and the puppet.
A shallow dent in the shape of a hand appeared imdiately.
Yu Chenshu’s face was badly damaged by the palm seal, and his arms were bent in an unnatural position.
On the other hand, half of the puppet’s body was smashed into the ground.
Lu Zhou landed on the ground. ‘It’s not enough?’
The flag, the Life-Siphoning Technique, continued to do their jobs, absorbing the vitality of the willing cultivators.
Since this impacted their lives, the cultivators in the sky did not dare to contribute too much vitality energy. When it was about ti, they quickly cut off the energy tendrils.
Yu Chenshu’s eyes shone with vigor as he looked at his bent arms.
anwhile, Lu Zhou looked at Yu Chenshu in disgust when he saw strange symbols carved on Yu Chenshu’s body. A puppet was painted on Yu Chenshu’s body in clear lines and black and grey ink. This feeling was sowhat similar to the disgust he felt when he faced Ye Zhen.
At this mont, a creaking noise rang in the air as Yu Chenshu’s arms straightened out.
“Co, show your Birth Chart power!” Yu Chenshu flipped his palm.
The Confinent Seal shrank rapidly before it flew back into Yu Chenshu’s hand.
anwhile, the puppet on the ground disappeared.
Bang!
Yu Chengshu carried the Confinent Seal with him as he charged toward Lu Zhou. His speed was so fast that it seed like he was creating friction with the air as a shrill sound rang in the air.
At this mont, Lu Zhou had depleted all his extraordinary power. He could use his Primal Qi and combined Seeing One’s Nature, the Four Mudras, and the Golden Buddha Body,
Boom!
Lu Zhou was sent flying!
Yu Chenshu laughed. He could tell his opponent had lost the offensive and could only defend now. At this mont, due to the nature of the battle, he had lost all his calm. Sches and plots were useless; he could only rely on his absolute strength.
Yu Chenshu pushed the Confinent Seal against Lu Zhou, causing Lu Zhou to retreat rapidly.
Red karmic fire and golden karmic fire burned dazzlingly as the Confinent Seal was pushed against the retreating Lu Zhou.
“Scram!” Lu Zhou roared.
Buzz!
A 200-foot golden avatar appeared and rapidly increased in size, sending Yu Chenshu flying.
While Lu Zhou retreated, his avatar damaged the mountain at his back. At this mont, an expression of exhaustion could be seen on his face. He had used all his energy and techniques for so long after all. How could he have enough Primal Qi at this ti?
At this ti, the two opponents faced each other from afar.
Yu Chenshu licked his lips as his eyes shone with joy. He said, “You seed exhausted.”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said calmly, “Is that what you think?”
“The puppet haven absorbed the lives of countless people: peerless powerhouses, babies still in their cradles, the elderly, and weak won... Puppets have almost unrivaled perception. I can tell you’re actually not a Birth Chart master...” Yu Chenshu said.
The cultivator above the Sku Wheel Range Mountain who heard Yu Chenshu’s words began to whisper among themselves.
“He’s not a Birth Chart Master?”
“Even if he hasn’t activated his Birth Charts, his strength is still heaven-defying. Most Ten-leaf elites aren’t a match for him at all.”
Lu Zhou glanced at the mountain behind him. The commotion in the depths of the valley had long stopped; there was no movent at all. Finally, he calmly patted the dust off his robes. Appearance-wise, he was, at least, much better than Yu Chenshu.
Upon seeing this, the smile on Yu Chenshu’s face disappeared. As the Court Master of the Sky Martial Court, when had he ever been in such a sorry state? To be safe, he suddenly looked at the sky and loudly said, “Everyone, listen up! Whoever’s able to kill him will be handsoly rewarded by the Sky Martial Court. One-leaf to Five-leaf cultivators would be given an earth-grade weapon; Five-leaf to Eight-leaf cultivators would be given a heaven-grade weapon; Nine-leaf cultivators would be given a desolate-grade weapon while Ten-leaf cultivators would be given a... flood-grade weapon! I, Yu Chenshu, will definitely keep my word.”
The cultivators surrounding the valley had been observing the battle for a long ti. Initially, it seed like Lu Zhou had the upper hand. However, currently, it seed like Yu Chenshu was going to win after all.
“The golden lotus domain is a foreign world. They might invade us. This is a good chance for us to retaliate. Do I have to remind you of all this?” Yu Chenshu said, “Moreover, don’t forget that he has many treasures in his possession. Most importantly, the life heart is with him!”
Most of the cultivators were neutral. They ca here only hoping to reap benefits. How could they not be moved by Yu Chenshu’s words?
Lu Zhou tidied his long robe and straightened his back before he said indifferently, “Yu Chenshu, you’re the first cultivator who’s able to force to retreat.”
“Hmm?”
“Alas, that’s all you’ll be able to do,” Lu Zhou said as a Peak Trial Card appeared in his hand. “I hope you’ll be able to bear the brunt of my anger.”
Yu Chenshu frowned. “What are you waiting for?! Kill this foreign tribesman and the treasures will be yours!”
Apart from Xuan Chengzi, Mo Xinglu, and their mbers who did not make a move, the other cultivators who were allies of the Sky Martial Court swooped down imdiately upon hearing Yu Chenshu’s words.
Lu Zhou shattered the Peak Trial Card at this mont. His empty Dantian’s sea of Qi was instantly filled to the brim. Following that, he wasted no ti in manifesting his Ten-leaf avatar. With the 200-foot avatar in tow, he flew toward Yu Chenshu expressionlessly.
“What’s going on?!”
An ominous premonition rose in the cultivators’ hearts.
As soon as they drew close to Lu Zhou, he launched countless palm seals in the sky.
The Nine Cut Hand Seals!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The cultivators who had just flown toward Lu Zhou dropped from the sky like flies one after another. Those who tried to stop him were all stopped by the palm seals.
Lu Zhou ignored notifications after notifications that rang in his ears. There was only one person in his eyes at this mont: Yu Chenshu!
Yu Chenshu furrowed his brows and pushed the Confinent Seal out with both palms.
However, before Yu Chenshu could push the Confinent Seal out, Lu Zhou had already arrived before him using his grand technique.
Lu Zhou slamd his palm against Yu Chenshu’s imdiately without giving Yu Chenshu a chance to act.
The Great Seal of Fearlessness!
The gigantic palm seal pushed Yu Chenshu back rapidly.
Lu Zhou moved at lightning speed and arrived before Yu Chenshu again. Similar to before, he smacked his palm against Yu Chenshu’s chest.
Yu Chenshu spat out a mouthful of blood.
Before the blood landed on Lu Zhou’s body, a buzzing noise rang in the air as the Golden Buddha Body appeared around Lu Zhou, keeping the blood from staining him.
“???” Yu Chenshu’s expression turned unsightly. How could this person use the Golden Buddha Body just to avoid being stained by his blood?
Lu Zhou pushed his hand forward again.
The Great Seal of Fearlessness!
Bang!
A mountain was flattened.
Bang!
Another mountain was flattened.
While Yu Chenshu flew back, a shocking scene appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Lu Zhou shone dazzlingly at this mont. His 200-foot golden avatar would flash to the right and to the left once in a while. As he launched a palm strike so would his avatar. What was even more ridiculous was each move was a grand technique!
The Great Seal of Fearlessness!
The Nine Cut Hand Seals!
Abandon Wisdom!
The Great Vajra Wheel Hand Seal!
All of them were cast as though it cost nothing to Lu Zhou.
All of the cultivators felt as though their worldview had been refreshed at this mont.
“...”
Even the Void Sect’s Xuan Chengzi and the True Kunlun Sect’s Mo Xinglu were dumbfounded.
