Now that it seemed like everything was coming to an end, how could the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion accept it? They were unresigned and in disbelief.

Lu Zhou was like a burnt leaf, falling with the wind. Just when he was about to land, everyone saw his body emitting a faint blue light. However, they did not think too much about it and attributed it to the lightning.

However, hope was often born in desperate times.

They watched as Lu Zhou suddenly straightened his back and stood up in the air.

A deep and dark circular pit could be seen below him as lightning continued to flash. The lightning seemed to be attracted by a mysterious force and continued to strike Lu Zhou, making it look like he was standing in a vortex of lightning.

At this moment, Lu Zhou could feel a surging power in his Dantian’s sea of Qi. When he opened his eyes, a blue lotus bloomed under his feet, healing him completely. A wave of coolness swept through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and swept away the pain after reconstructing them. A tingling

sensation replaced the pain, making him feel better.

At this moment, the blue lotus turned into a golden lotus.

Blue lightning bolts flashed In the Birth Palace of the golden lotus at this time. They looked like blue dragons struggling to leave the Birth Palace. Alas, no matter how hard they struggled, they were firmly confined in the Birth Palace. It did not take long before the blue lightning bolts were absorbed by

the blue avatar. With this, the blue avatar became obviously stronger and bigger.

Lu Zhou was perplexed. Previously, he had absorbed the force of the lightning at the White Tower Council. Compared to the one now, the one at the White Tower Council was truly weak. At that time, he had used the force of the lightning to sprout leaves on his blue avatar. However, how could his blue

avatar become stronger now when he did not have a life heart? How could it grow stronger just by relying on the force of the lightning?

Lu Zhou did not have time to ponder on his blue avatar’s change.

His golden lotus’ Birth Palace had been greatly strengthened at this time. The lightning tribulation this time had cost him a lot of Critical Block Cards. Meng Zhang’s power was far beyond his imagination.

At the same time, the blue avatar continued trying its best to absorb all the lightning bolts in the surroundings.

Fora time, silence reigned in the entire place.

After a long while, a deep voice laced with confusion and surprise rang from the sky.

“What?”

Swoosh!

Following that, the dark fog parted briefly as a ball of cold energy shot down and shrouded Huantan’s Pillar of Destruction. In just a blink of an eye, the area around Huantan’s Pillar of Destruction turned into a frozen world.

Duanmu Dian raised his hands as though he was supporting the sky and used everything he had learned in his life to create a barrier to protect everyone.

Even so, the area within 100 miles of Huantuan, except for that small space within the barrier, was frozen. Even Lu Zhou was frozen.

Fortunately, Lu Zhou had experienced with this. After all, his Purple Glazed Ceramic also had this freezing ability. Although he could not move, he could feel Meng Zhang’s freezing energy further strengthening his golden lotus’ Birth Palace. He could clearly feel the powerful vitality from his Birth Palace,

and he could feel himself becoming stronger. It was as though he was imbued with the power of heaven and earth at this moment, helping him to stand tall.

“The power of heaven and earth?’ After a moment, Lu Zhou dismissed that thought. Although similar, it was not the power of heaven and earth. It should be a greater power of the Dao and a law of heaven and earth.

As Lu Zhou looked at the flowing Primal Qi and the lines on the ice, a thunderous roar rang in the air. Then, the frozen area within hundreds of miles turned into a sea of true fire, melting away the ice.

All the flowers, plants, and trees that were growing were burned into ashes in just a blink of an eye by the powerful true fire. Even the strong towering trees could not escape this fate.

Apart from the Pillar of Destruction on Ciyun Ridge, everything drowned in flames.

Duanmu Dian said bitterly, “Fire and ice? If only Lu Wu were here…”

Fortunately, they were quite a distance away. Otherwise, they would not have been able to withstand this.

At this moment, Yan Zhenluo, who had good eyesight, pointed at the sky as he cried out, “Pavilion Master is still holding on!”

At this time, realization dawned on Duanmu Dian. “You’re trying to become a Saint?!”

“Become a Saint?!”

“Look at the faint light on his body. It’s the Saint Light,” Duanmu Dian said.

“Master is going to become a Saint?!” Little Yuan’er exclaimed in surprise.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion did not know if they should feel happy or not. After all, Meng Zhang was still looking down from the sky.

At this moment, Meng Zhang’s deep voice reverberated in the air again. “Tenacious human.”

Lu Zhou had withstood four consecutive moves, after all.

Lu Zhou had the ability to resist fire. With the addition of the divine mark robe, the sea of flames did not affect him much.

Meng Zhang did not continue to attack. It opened its eyes again, bringing daylight to Huantan. It stared at Lu Zhou and saw the faint light on his body.

“Saint?” Meng Zhang’s voice carried confusion and disdain.

At this moment, Lu Zhou felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. He could feel he had become much stronger than before.

‘This is the strength of a Saint?” Lu Zhou was inwardly delighted. He looked at his hands and sensed the power of heaven and earth. It seemed like as long as he willed it, the power would be at his command.

Then, he looked up and saw the dark fog parting for a moment.

Following that, the fog surged violently as though something was writhing within the fog. After a moment, an illusory figure the size of a human appeared thousands of meters in front of Lu Zhou. It stood in front of the Pillar of Destruction as it said in a low and hoarse voice, “You’ve become a Saint.”

No one, including Lu Zhou, dared to underestimate Meng Zhang’s strength even if it was the size of a human now.

“Thank you for your help,” Lu Zhou said.

“Some humans are as cowardly as mice, and some humans are bold and courageous,” Meng Zhang slowly said.

Lu Zhou said, “I’ll take that as a compliment.”

“Do you know who you’re facing?”

“Meng Zhang, the Azure Dragon, and one of the Four Divinities of Heaven,” Lu Zhou replied.

“And yet, you dare to approach?” Meng Zhang asked.

“In order to pursue cultivation, one can’t be afraid,” Lu Zhou replied again.

Meng Zhang fell silent. It recalled its earlier moves. Let alone the person in front of him, even Dao Saints would have difficulties withstanding them. After a while, it asked, “What path do you seek?”

“L seek the Great Dao,” Lu Zhou said.

Meng Zhao flashed forward. At the same time, flashes of light appeared in the sky, showing its status and strength.

“So you seek immortality? Why are you here?” Meng Zhang was puzzled.

“No, I don’t seek immortality,” Lu Zhou said as he shook his head. Then, he continued to say, “I came here to obtain recognition from the Pillar of Destruction.”

Meng Zhang’s voice deepened as he said, “Everyone wants to live forever, to live as long as heaven and earth.”

“That’s other people, not me,” Lu Zhou said. Then, he sighed before he continued to say, “Everything in the world has rules and principles. For humans, there are countless rules. These rules are even more complicated than cultivation. If it were possible for everyone to live forever, those with power and

influence wouldn’t cease using their power, connections, and resources to make themselves and their kins stronger. On the other hand, those at the bottom would stay at the bottom forever; forever oppressed and unable to rise. Such a world would only make humans despair.”

At this time, the light disappeared as Meng Zhang stilled.

‘The surroundings were extremely quiet.

After a moment, Meng Zhang asked, “So you agree that death is necessary?”

“Death is the best way to control humans,” Lu Zhou replied.

Meng Zhang did not move or speak. After an unknown amount of time had passed, it asked, “Do you really want to enter the Pillar of Destruction?”

Lu Zhou did not answer the question. Instead, he asked, “As one of the Four Divinities of Heaven, why do you guard the Pillar of Destruction?”

“The sky cannot collapse. At least not for now,” Meng Zhang said, “The Four Divinities of Heaven are responsible for protecting the Great Dao of heaven and earth. The Great Void has no hope of controlling any of the four divinities.”

Realization dawned on Lu Zhou. Then, he cupped his fists together at Meng Zhang and said, “I see.”
