Chapter 993: Darkness
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Most of the cultivators in the Humble White Sect were Nine-leaf and Ten-leaf cultivators, hence, they were very eager to obtain life hearts. However, they were scared out of their wits when they saw the dragonhawks spitting out red energy lines that bound weak cultivators. Their first thought was to retreat, not to put up a fight.
Meanwhile, under Xiao Yunhe’s baffled gaze, Yu Shangrong unsheathed his Longevity Sword. As soon as he unsheathed his sword, his killing intent surged. With just a thought, 100,000 energy swords appeared in the air, covering the sky.
“It’s a flood-grade sword!”
Swoosh!
The red energy lines that were about to touch Yu Shangrong were instantly cut by his energy swords. Following that, the energy swords rolled out like a wave toward the dragonhawks. One after another the dragonhawks were felled by the energy swords.
Lu Zhou discovered that these low-level fierce beasts no longer gave him merit points and could not help but feel slightly regretful. At the same time, he confirmed that Yu Shangrong’s strength was definitely above the Thousand Realms Whirling. Let alone Ten-leaf cultivators, even those who had activated their Birth Charts might not be a match for him.
“This… Is this the Ten-leaf stage?” Xiao Yunhe was baffled.
Yu Zhenghai was also shocked by Yu Shangrong’s performance. He shook his head and said, “I didn’t expect Second Junior Brother’s strength to increase so much after absorbing five life hearts…”
“…” Since Xiao Yunhe had no experience with this cultivation path, he had no comment.
At the same time, Chen You and the others from the Humble White Sect watched Yu Shangrong kill the dragonhawks with their mouths agape.
In just a moment, silence returned to the sky.
Yu Shangrong flashed and returned to Lu Zhou’s side.
Swoosh!
At the same time, the energy swords vanished and the Longevity Sword returned to its sheath.
“This…” Chen You looked at Yu Shangrong in shock.
Xiao Yunhe clapped and said, “It’s rare for a Ten-leaf cultivator to master such powerful sword path.”
“Ten leaves?!” Chen You turned around and looked at his people.
The group of Ten-leaf cultivators lowered their heads immediately. They were also Ten-leaf cultivators so why was the disparity so big?
Lu Zhou pointed at the mountain range hidden in the fog and said, “Go investigate.”
Xiao Yunhe said, “Let Wu Chao investigate. It’s more convenient for us to send him since he can use witchcraft.”
“Understood.” Wu Chao left with a flurry of movements into the thick fog.
Chen You and the Humble White Sect cultivators gulped as they continued to watch.
After a moment, Chen You said, clearly embarrassed, “I… I feel ashamed…”
Lu Zhou said, “It’s not wrong for the weak to protect themselves.”
“Thank you, old sir, for your understanding… Then… Then, our cooperation…” Chen You stammered.
“No.” Lu Zhou shook his head. “I only give one chance to everyone.”
“…” Chen You felt regretful; he had missed out on a great opportunity!
Not much time had passed before Wu Chao returned. He called out, “I’ve been discovered!”
A scarlet flying Birth Chart Beast was hot on his trail.
“It’s a scarlet mystic bird!”
Chen You and the Humble White Sect cultivators instinctively retreated again.
At this moment, Chen You suddenly wondered why he was so afraid? He was a Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator after all!
Wu Chao’s speed was lightning fast as he used his grand technique. In just a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the others. Following that, he turned to face the scarlet mystic bird and manifested his huge astrolabe.
Boom!
The scarlet mystic bird crashed into Wu Chao’s astrolabe.
“He’s a Four Chart Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator!” the members of the Humble White Sect exclaimed in shock.
Just a subordinate possessed four Birth Charts? In that case, how strong were those two big shots?
Chen You felt even more regretful as he watched this. He felt his heart ache at the lost opportunity.
At this moment, thousands of black tentacles shot out of the astrolabe and restrained the scarlet mystic bird.
Wu Chao hovered in the air and pushed his astrolabe with one hand. Several beams of light shot out and pieced the scarlet mystic bird immediately.
The scarlet mystic bird struggled and attacked chaotically before it let out a mournful cry. Now that it was severely injured, it turned around, intending to flee.
Wu Chao took a breather and said, “Many blackguards died up ahead. There are too many fierce beasts. The Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council are retreating to the sides.”
Lu Zhou did not respond. Instead, he raised his hand. Unnamed in the form of a bow appeared in hand immediately. “Livestock, you think you can leave after coming here?”
Swoosh!
A golden energy arrow that was taller than an adult appeared. In one breath, it shot out into the sky. It was so fast that the wind howled in its wake,
Bang!
The energy arrow accurately pierced the scarlet mystic bird’s vital point.
“…” Chen You’s eyelids twitched. He had come here with a passive tactic. If a fierce beast chased after them, they planned to retreat. Their plan was to lure a fierce beast away and overwhelm it with numbers. However, the tactic was useless. Currently, they were only like background decorations; they could watch the show.
“Old sir, you’re from the golden lotus domain?” Chen You asked curiously. At the same time, he committed the Evil Sky Pavilion to his memory.
Lu Zhou ignored Chen You. Instead, he ordered, “Retrieve its life heart.”
Yu Shangrong flew toward the scarlet mystic bird that was falling from the sky at lightning speed. It did not take long before he returned with a red life heart.
Xiao Yunhe said with admiration, “Amazing, amazing. Brother Lu is a very good marksman.”
Lu Zhou did not say anything. Instead, he looked at the mountain range in front of him. The rumbling sounds in the fog and the sounds of intense battle continued to ring in the air.
At this moment, a deafening roar rang in the air.
The earth trembled slightly as rocks rolled off the cliff.
Soon after, they saw dozens of black lotus cultivators flying out of the huge black flying chariot on the left side of the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With that, the thunderous and jarring sounds of battle grew even more intense.
At this moment, Shen Xi, whose sense of presence had been reduced for a long time, suddenly raised his head and said, “It’s the First Elder’s Sky Supporting Seal!”
A black energy seal that covered the entire sky appeared, causing darkness to descend.
In the dense fog, a huge black astrolabe flashed for a moment before disappearing.
Three mountains up ahead had been destroyed by the black energy seal. They fell violently now that they were reduced to rocks.
“Block it!” Chen You ordered.
Everyone formed energy shields immediately.
Xiao Yunhe said, “If I’m not wrong, Shi Youran, the First Elder of the Black Tower Council, should have ten Birth Charts. It’s not surprising they sent him to fight Ying Zhao.”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rocks kept falling on the energy seals for a long time without showing any signs of stopping.
“We’re too close. I suggest that we retreat!” Chen You said.
As soon as his voice fell, an energy with the force of a tsunami and a huge landslide swept over from up ahead, accompanied by a thunderous roar. “Shi Youran, scram! You have no right to act shamelessly here!”
The energy rolled out, devouring all the weaker fierce beasts in just an instant. Not only that, but even some of the mountains and trees were swept away.
Upon hearing that voice, Xiao Yunhe said solemnly, “Xu Chen is here as well. Shi Youran is the First Elder of the Black Tower Council, and Xu Chen is the First Elder of the White Tower Council.”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, obviously disappointed, “The Tower Masters didn’t come?”
Xiao Yunhe. “…”
‘Hey, your joke isn’t funny at all!’
In fact, prior to this, Xiao Yunhe expected the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council to only send a judge here. With the presence of the elders, even without Lu Zhou, it would be almost impossible for him to obtain Ying Zhao’s life heart.
At this moment, the tsunami-like energy drew closer and closer to Lu Zhou and the others.
Lu Zhou casually pushed one hand out.
However, the flood-like energy was getting closer and closer.
Lu Zhou pushed out a palm.
The Confinement Seal shot out as it increased in size, shielding the cliff and everyone behind it.
Boom!
The Confinement Seal successfully blocked the tsunami-like energy. However, energy continued to press down on them.
The thousands of cultivators from the Humble White Sect looked at the Confinement Seal and the tsunami-like energy in horror. At this moment, they realized they had overestimated themselves. Put everything else aside, they were not even qualified to watch the show from the side!
At this time, Lu Zhou flew into the air and held the Confinement Seal up as the energy crashed down against the Confinement Seal again and again.
Upon seeing this, the others moved to stand behind Lu Zhou. They had no choice. If they did not do this, they would die! Whether they had nine leaves or ten leaves or the Thousand Realms Whirling, all of them followed Lu Zhou.
At this time, Lu Zhou said indifferently, “I don’t believe the sky will collapse today…”
Everyone’s confidence exploded when they heard Lu Zhou’s words. All of them stood carefully under the Confinement Seal as they rose as one into the sky.
Xiao Yunhe laughed heartily before he said, “Brother Lu, I’ll lend you a hand!” He did not hold back as he pushed the Confinement Seal up.
With this, the two experts withstood the mountain-like pressure bearing down on everyone.
