Chapter 1102 - Killing the Nether Wolf King
Chapter 1102: Killing the Nether Wolf King
The Flaming Golden Lotus was very powerful, but it also consumed a lot of energy. Its fire spread very quickly, and if it were not put out in time, the entire red lotus domain could easily burn in a sea of fire. Moreover, the vegetation in the cultivation world was very lush. There were forests and towering trees everywhere, serving as tinder to the fire. Every year, Great Tang would appoint dedicated cultivators to guard the forest to prevent such forest fires.
The cultivators watched as Lu Zhou stepped on the big flaming lotus and vanished from sight. Following that, they rushed toward the fire one after another.
“We can’t kill fierce beasts, but we can put out the fire! Let’s move!”
The cultivators dove and began to put out the fire.
At this moment, someone asked in confusion, “Hey, who’s the old senior? Do you know him?”
“No… I’ve never seen him before. However, his avatar’s appearance is old. Most importantly, it’s golden. It’s likely he’s an expert from the golden lotus domain.”
“An expert from the golden lotus domain? Is he from the Evil Sky Pavilion?”
“That’s possible. Yu Chenshu was defeated by Pavilion Master Lu here back then. Although that person’s appearance is young, he might be old. Anyway, he might be a disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
…
Lu Zhou flew swiftly on the big flaming lotus.
The fierce beasts on the ground scampered away in fear.
As Lu Zhou flew, he would kill the flying beasts in the air as well. It was unfortunate that they were too weak and killing them did not earn him any merit points. To earn merit points, he had to kill Birth Chart Beasts.
The sound of howling rang in the air at this moment.
The Nether Wolf King continued to flee at top speed. Its huge body leaped above the clouds, and when it landed, the earth shook from its weight.
“The speed of this fierce beast…” Lu Zhou was slightly surprised by the Nether Wolf King’s speed. It was not easy to catch up with it. It only needed one leap to cross dangerous terrains and wide chasms.
“I’ve used up half of my Primal Qi,” Lu Zhou muttered to himself. His flaming lotus was indeed gorgeous and powerful, but it consumed a lot of Primal Qi as well. As expected of an ability gained from the Birth Trial.
With six Birth Charts, Lu Zhou could unleash the Birth Charts’ power 24 times. However, he could only release the Birth Trial ability twice.
Boom!
The Nether Wolf King stomped on the ground before it leaped up into the clouds again. All of a sudden, it changed direction. Its eyes that were gleaming coldly swept past the towering trees in its surroundings before it suddenly came to a halt.
Lu Zhou cast his grand technique thrice and appeared in front of the Nether Wolf King. He had to look up at it as though he was looking up a mountain before he said, “Livestock, you’re not fleeing anymore?”
Lu Zhou shifted his gaze to the Nether Wolf King’s back. The Endless Ocean was behind it; it had no other way to retreat.
The Nether Wolf King lowered its head and crouched down, looking as though it was ready to pounce. At the same time, it growled and bared its fangs as it looked at Lu Zhou with a fierce gaze.
When the Nether Wolf King fled earlier, it naturally caused a huge commotion, attracting many cultivators’ attention. Those who were more courageous flew toward the treetops in the distance and watched. Needless to say, even if they were courageous, they did not dare to go any closer.
“It’s the Nether Wolf King.”
“Who’s that young man? Isn’t he too daring?”
“Great Tang’s four circuits have been besieged by fierce beasts… Only a handful of red lotus cultivators dare to challenge a beast king…”
The Nether Wolf King howled. It could no longer hold back and pounced toward Lu Zhou. In its eyes, Lu Zhou could not even fill the gaps between its teeth. However, it did not underestimate human cultivators. When it pounced, it did not hold back and attacked with a force that seemed capable of destroying the world.
“Avatar.”
Buzz!
A 650-foot golden avatar rose up. An astrolabe appeared in front of the Nether Wolf King, blocking it.
Boom!
The Nether Wolf King crashed into the astrolabe.
A wave of fan-like energy from the collision swept out.
The cultivators in the distance had no choice but to erect their protective energy.
Someone exclaimed excitedly, “Golden avatar?! Is he an expert from the golden lotus domain?!”
Lu Zhou leaped to the top of his avatar. As soon as Unnamed appeared in his hand, he swung it.
Energy swords, which were 1,000 feet long, shot out in all directions, dazzling the onlookers’ eyes.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each of the energy swords stabbed at the Nether Wolf King’s head.
The Nether Wolf King shrunk back in pain. After just a few breaths, blood began streaming down its face.
“He should be a Six Chart expert at least. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to breach the Nether Wolf King’s defenses so easily.”
“Six Chart expert? The golden lotus domain has grown so strong?”
“Hey, Pavilion Master Lu already has 12 Birth Charts at least. What’s so surprising about a Six Chart cultivator?”
“The golden lotus domain’s cultivation is so heavily restricted for such a long time, but they’ve surpassed the red lotus domain in such a short time? Isn’t it too abnormal?”
While the crowd was engaged in fervent discussions, Lu Zhou flew up with his avatar. At the same time, he sent a piercing energy sword toward the Nether Wolf King.
The golden energy sword moved to the left, the right, up, and down as it stabbed at the Nether Wolf King, further injuring it.
After a few breaths, the Nether Wolf King could no longer endure it. It let out a long earth-shaking howl before it stomped its paws on the ground.
Boom!
The tremors caused rocks to tumble down the mountains in the surroundings. The trees swayed and looked like they were going to fall.
One of the cultivators gulped before he said, “If I’m not mistaken, this sword expert must be the second disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Yu Shangrong.”
“The second disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Yu Shangrong?”
“There are very few people in the world who have reached this kind of level on the sword path. It’s likely he’s Yu Shangrong.”
At this time, the Nether Wolf King let out a series of howls. However, the howls were different from before; the vibrations from the sound caused everyone’s eardrums to hurt.
“It’s gone berserk!”
“Should we help! ?”
“Do you have a death wish!”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Nevertheless, the situation on the battlefield was still as one-sided as before.
Lu Zhou continued to control his energy sword to attack the Nether Wolf King that had gone berserk.
Its hackles were raised; it was like a violent and destructive hedgehog at this moment.
Lu Zhou took advantage of his small size to move around as he swung his sword after putting his avatar away. Like a bee, he flew around the Nether Wolf King. He moved in all directions, leaving afterimages in his wake.
The Nether Wolf King swatted with its paw but it only hit the air.
“What a stubborn beast!” Lu Zhou muttered. All of his sword strikes hit their target. At the very least, he had six Birth Charts and had passed his Birth Trial, and yet, he still had not killed the beast.
Lu Zhou refused to accept this. “I’m going to kill you with one sword strike!”
He flew up into the air. Unnamed hovered in front of him as he joined his palms together.
In just a blink of an eye, millions of energy swords covered the sun and the sky in an orderly manner.
The Nether Wolf King shuddered as it looked at the energy swords around him. It could keenly sense the threat from the energy swords. Without a moment’s hesitation, it turned around to flee, leaping into the sea without any hesitation.
Lu Zhou brought the millions of energy swords with him as he rushed toward the Endless Ocean.
All the cultivators’ eyes followed his figure. They watched in a daze.
Boom!
Splash!
The Nether Wolf King stirred up fierce waves when it leaped into the sea. The waves were tinted red with its blood as they rushed to the shore. The seawater rose, turning the area 1,000 meters away into a swamp.
With Unnamed at the lead, millions of energy swords followed its lead as it shot toward the Nether Wolf King in the sea. They looked like swimming dragons at this moment.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Unnamed was the first to strike the Nether Wolf King, breaking its bones and wounding. In just an instant, the sea was dyed red by its blood.
Following that, millions of energy swords landed on the Nether Wolf King one after another, piercing it.
The Nether Wolf howled for a long time before it began to whimper. As it sank into the sea, it made a low muffled sound.
Splash! Splash Splash!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Nether Wolf King thrashed wildly in the sea. Its body twisted crazily, stirring up bigger waves and causing the seawater to churn. This was its death struggle; a final struggle before its death.
Lu Zhou hovered in the air and looked at the surging sea with an indifferent gaze.
After roughly 15 minutes, the sea gradually calmed down as the Nether Wolf King stopped moving.
“Ding! Killed the Nether Wolf King. Reward: 10,000 merit points.”
The cultivators watching from the distance felt their hearts racing in their chests. Their mouths were dry. One after another, they gulped.
Lu Zhou raised his hand.
Unnamed that was still in the sea thrummed, stirring up the sea again. Soon enough, the Nether Wolf King’s corpse was brought up to the surface of the sea.
Lu Zhou had to extract the Nether Wolf King’s life heart before its corpse sank to the bottom of the sea.
He waved his hands around, controlling Unnamed. It took him some effort to extract the life heart.
Swoosh!
At this moment, Unnamed flew back to Lu Zhou’s hand.
Subsequently, a crystal clear life heart the size of a fist floated to the top and broke the sea’s surface before it slowly rose in the air.
