Chapter 1338: I’ll Drag You Down With Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Countless scenes flashed before Lu Zhou’s eyes. All sorts of possibilities flashed before his eyes as he flew toward the Mystic Tranquility Hall, but none of them showed one where he succeeded. They dissolved into spots of light before they returned to the universe and vanished.

Lu Zhou wandered in the dark sky. Stars twinkled as meteors fell; he did not know where the front or back was.

Lu Zhou increased the output of his divine power and cast the power of infinite deduction again. The scenes flashed by at a much faster speed. His spirit and will reached an unprecedented high at this moment as countless changes and deductions appeared before his eyes. Finally, just before the scenes vanished, among thousands of possibilities, he found one where he reached the core of the formation.

Lu Zhou cut off the power of infinite deduction. It had cost him half of his divine power, but it was worth it. He saw the distinct inscriptions on the ground and the shadow above it.

Gao Cheng continued to cackle. “You underestimated the Ultimate Formation! Do you know why His Majesty built the Mystic Tranquility Hall here? It’s because this place was once the ruins of the ancient Saints!”

Swoosh!

Based on what he had seen, Lu Zhou stepped on a specific set of inscriptions on the ground. Then, as though he had crossed through an infinite stretch of space, he appeared before Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng’s laughter came to an abrupt stop, and his expression froze on his face. His eyes were filled with shock, and his lips trembled.

Lu Zhou’s palm seal was like the hand of Death as it reached out from the darkness.

Swoosh!

The Fiend Monk’s Hand Seal flew toward Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng had been too confident in the Mystic Tranquility Hall and the Ultimate Formation. He had thought the power of the formation was not unlike that of a Saint. He had once practiced the use of the formation with the emperor of Great Gin. Without using his power as the master of the formation, the emperor with his White Dragon Jade was unable to harm him or the core of the formation. Overconfidence was no different from conceit. Nothing was absolute in this world.

The Fiend Monk’s Hand Seal that contained his remaining divine power grabbed Gao Cheng, squeezing his internal organs. The fingers dug at his heart, causing him to faint.

“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”

Gao Cheng had no puppet or other means to protect himself. He was clearly overly confident.

Lu Zhou flashed and took advantage of the fact that Gao Cheng was now injured and struck five times consecutively.

Five Abandoned Wisdoms landed on Gao Cheng’s chest in succession.

When Gao Cheng crashed on the ground…

“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”

Following that, a Primal Qi storm brewed before it swept through the area in the Ultimate Formation.

Lu Zhou no longer paid any attention to Gao Cheng. Instead, he turned around and looked at the core of the formation that was flashing with a dazzling light. His hand seemed to carry the force of a mountain as he pressed it down.

At the critical moment, the emperor of Great Qin broke free of the entanglement of the 49 swordsmen and appeared in front of Lu Zhou. He hurriedly struck with his palm.

Lu Zhou had no choice but to flip 360 degrees in the and pushed his hand out to meet the emperor’s attack.

Boom!

When two palms met, energy seals exploded through the entire area of the Ultimate Formation and rippled out to Xiangyang City.

…

The cultivators, soldiers, and royal guards in the royal palace turned to look in the direction of the Mystic Tranquility Hall while the cultivators in Xiangyang City looked in the direction of the royal palace.

…

At the same time, in the distant horizon, an ink-color flying chariot slowly flew over. Cultivators flew at both sides of the flying chariot.

At this moment, one of the cultivators said, “Venerable Master, there are movements in the royal palace.”

There was no reply. After a long time, a shadow flew out of the carriage toward the royal palace, only leaving two words behind. “Wait here.”

“Understood!”

…

After the collision, the emperor of Great Qin said with bright eyes, “I really admire you more and more! You actually found the core of the formation!”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “Initially, as a ruler of a country, I thought your wisdom, vision, and magnanimity should be second to none. However, I was greatly disappointed after meeting you.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t let you down after this. You’ve already exerted all your strength, but I’ve only just begun.”

Lu Zhou straightened his back and raised his hand as he said, “From the beginning until now, I’ve not used my full strength…”

‘Hmm?’

Just as the advanced and enhanced version of the Reduction Card appeared, the emperor vanished from sight. It was just like when they were at the Zhao Residence. He seemed to have learned from his mistake and did not recklessly attack Lu Zhou. Instead, he said through Voice Transmission, “If you want to fight me, you’ll have to go through them first.”

Then, the emperor appeared all over the sky.

“Ultimate Projection! Can you tell which one is the real me?” the emperor asked smugly.

Lu Zhou put away the Reduction Card before he launched a palm seal into the sky that sailed harmlessly through the projections.

At this moment, the 49 swordsmen arrived above the Mystic Tranquility Hall.

Yuan Lang asked, “Senior Lu, are you okay?”

“Yes. Look for the real emperor.”

“Understood!”

The 49 swordsmen flew back and forth in the sky, looking for the emperor.

On the other side, Qin Renyue, Yu Zhenghai, and Yu Shangrong worked together to pin down the four elders of Mount Li. To be precise, Qin Renyue single-handedly pinned down the other three except for Cui Mingguang while Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong worked together to deal with the slightly weaker Cui Mingguang.

Then, the emperor who was observing the situation somewhere in the sky said, “Four guards, what are you waiting for?”

The four guards wiped away the blood on their faces. Killing intent and hatred shone brightly in their eyes. Although Qin Renyue had destroyed four of each of their Birth Charts, they were still Two Trials experts. They tapped the acupoints on their bodies to alleviate the pain then they brandished their sabers and rushed toward the others from the Evil Sky Pavilion. In their eyes, the remaining people from the Evil Sky Pavilion were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They became even more bloodthirsty. As they leaped out, they released a barrage of energy sabers.

Yan Zhenluo and Lu Li manifested their astrolabes and held them in front of them.

Boom!

All of them were pushed back.

Kong Wen and his brothers were shocked.

“Kill!” The four guards flew over again close to the ground.

Yan Zhenluo and Lu Li had only passed one Birth Trial. They had already done their best to block that one move. Their qi and blood were surging in their bodies from that alone. They could only watch helplessly as the four guards rushed at them again.

“Where’s Fourth Senior Brother?! Didn’t we agree that he’ll protect us? Where did he go?” Little Yuan’er stomped her foot anxiously.

At this moment, a figure flashed next to the four guards.

Mingshi Yin’s eyes flashed icily as he smiled. “Die!”

The Separation Hook released tens of thousands of energy blades toward the four guards.

Bang!

The four guards instinctively raised their sabers to block the onslaught of attacks, but it was too late. The immense force from the energy blades pushed them to the ground at the same time.

Boom!

The four guards grunted. Fortunately, they did not lose their Birth Charts this time.

The leader of the guards shouted, “You’re not strong enough!”

“You’re wrong,” Mingshi Yin said with a sneer as he pulled the Separation Hook back.

Meanwhile, the energy blades on the four guards’ bodies did not vanish. It was as though they were stuck in their bodies like barbs.

Mingshi Yin raised his hand and spun the Separation Hook. Then, a huge suction appeared and pulled the barbs back.

“Second Birth Trial ability?! Mr. Fourth has already passed his second Birth Trial!” Kong Wen exclaimed.

The four guards screamed in pain. They felt as though their bodies were being gnawed by countless ants. Bits of their flesh and blood flew in the air.

…

“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”

“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”

“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”

“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”

…

Mingshi Yin seemed to command the scene at this moment; everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong turned to have a look and smiled.

“Old Fourth is really impressive…” Yu Zhenghai said.

“It seems like he didn’t use his full strength when he fought Xi Qishu,” Yu Shangrong said.

…

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou saw the situation on the other side was under control so he dove and continued to attack the core of the formation.

Bang!

At this moment, Gao Cheng that was embedded into the ground from the last attack suddenly leaped up and pounced at Lu Zhou. His eyeballs threatened to pop out of their sockets as he glared at Lu Zhou, and his expression was so twisted that he looked like a monster. He grinned hideously and said, “I’m not afraid of death.. In fact, I’ll make sure to drag you down to hell with me…”
