“Understood!”
The four guards drew their sabers and rushed toward the dragon throne and leaped down the stairs. They were the top experts in the palace. Although their cultivation bases were frozen now, their foundation was not something ordinary cultivators could compare to.
All of them were clear that the formation was now useless. Instead, it was now giving the enemy an opportunity.
The four guards’ eyes brimmed with killing intent. Their coordination with Gao Cheng was flawless as they moved. As they leaped out, the sky lightened immediately.
Primal Qi began to surge, and everyone’s cultivation bases returned to normal, and the Primal Qi was no longer frozen.
With this, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion flew up and formed a group to defend themselves.
The 40 swordsmen flew into the sky as well.
Meanwhile, the four guards raised their sabers and released four green horizontal slashes of energy with a force that seemed capable of tearing the sky asunder toward Lu Zhou.
Unnamed transformed from a sword to a shield immediately as Lu Zhou imbued it with his divine power.
Bang!
When the four slashes of energy landed on the shield, sparks flew in all directions. However, the shield withstood the attacks.
Upon seeing this, the emperor of Qin said, “Take him down!”
Then, the emperor appeared in the sky.
Just as Lu Zhou was about to unleash the divine power to repel his attackers, a figure suddenly streaked past Lu Zhou’s side.
Then, the four guards suddenly flew back. Their expressions were one of shock as they spat out blood.
“Just because a tiger doesn’t show its might, you think it’s a weak kitten?” The person who had attacked was Qin Renyue. As a Venerable Master, how could he endure being treated in such a manner? Moreover, he was already angered when the emperor activated the Ultimate Formation.
Lu Zhou put Unnamed away and looked at the emperor in the sky.
Qin Renyue’s figure flashed before he used the power of the Dao. Time froze, and he seemed to vanish. In the next second, he appeared above the four guards and struck four of them with his palm.
The guards felt as though they were hallucinating when they saw four Qin Renyues striking at them.
In just a moment, four Thousand Realms Whirling avatars appeared before disappearing again.
Qin Renyue roared, “This isn’t the end.”
Qin Renyue left afterimages everywhere as he struck at the four guards.
At this moment, a burst of white light exploded in the sky. With the emperor of Great Qin in the center, the white light flooded the entire place.
The 49 swordsmen attacked with all of their might as a rhombus barrier shrouded them.
Meanwhile, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion stood back to back.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong worked together with their saber and sword. The duo unleashed the Water Dragon Song and Calm Disturbance respectively to withstand the white light.
On the contrary, Qin Renyue seemed unaffected as he continued to attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Although the four guards were prepared to risk their lives in this battle, they could not help but cry out in excruciating pain under the onslaught of a Venerable Master’s attacks. They were no match for him at all. Within seconds, each of them lost three Birth Charts to Qin Renyue. In the past, they had imagined the strength of a Venerable Master and how it would be like to fight a Venerable Master. Now that they were facing a Venerable Master, they discovered how vast the gap between their strengths was.
If one had the same cultivation base, battle experience would determine the victory. However, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to make up for the differences between cultivation bases.
Lu Zhou manifested a Golden Buddha’s Body with his divine power. When the white light came in contact with it, a sizzling noise rang in the air immediately.
At this moment, Qin Renyur spun and brought out his astrolabe. Then, he covered the sky with his astrolabe. Just like that, everything returned to normal.
Upon seeing this, the emperor spat, “Qin Renyue, I should’ve gotten rid of you a long time ago!”
Qin Renyue retorted, “I should’ve gotten rid of you back then as well!”
The emperor chuckled before he said, “Do you really think any of the four Venerable Masters were a match for me?”
The emperor waved his hand.
Following that, a high-pitch voice rang out.
“Activating the Amplified Ultimate Formation!”
Gao Cheng who was hovering above the Mystic Tranquility Hall was glowing with a green light at this moment.
A flash of light burst forth, and the four elders of Mount Li and the four guards felt refreshed immediately. It felt as though an electric-like were surging in their bodies, expanding their Dantians’ sea of Qi.
The pain the four guards were suffering from vanished immediately. They rose to their feet and stretched their limbs. They could sense that their combat strength had increased greatly.
“Kill!” the emperor of Great Qin ordered.
The four guards seemed to be drunk from the newfound power. They looked as though they had lost their minds as they rushed out and cried out, “Kill!”
Qin Renyue roared, “I’ll destroy all your Birth Charts!”
Swoosh!
With that, a chaotic battle began.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou stared at the emperor of Great Qin unblinkingly.
Upon seeing this, the emperor said, “I’ll let you watch them die!”
Then, the White Dragon Jade suddenly multiplied into four before they shot toward the four elders of Mount Li.
Lu Zhou’s instincts told him the White Dragon Jade was not simple. He moved toward the White Dragon Jade immediately.
At the same time, the emperor released a burst of energy seals. Everything froze when he unleashed his power of the Dao, but he soon discovered that Lu Zhou was completely unaffected. Then, he watched as Lu Zhou pushed his hand out, sending a seal with the script for ‘lightning’ toward him. He was not threatened by Thunderblast so he raised his hand to withstand it. However, when Thunderblast landed, he felt the immense power from the seal that seemed to be hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than his, fear rose in his heart immediately.
Bang!
The emperor of Great Qin flew backward for about 100 meters. He felt his numb grow numb as he asked in disbelief, “What kind of power is this?”
Lu Zhou waved his hand and caught the four White Dragon Jades.
At this time, the four elders of Mount Li attacked Lu Zhou at the same time. Their attacks were brutal and frenzied, and Cui Muigguang was the most brutal and frenzied among them. They did not hold back at all.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Daoist’s palm seals filled the entire place.
Faced with the attacks from the four elders who were only a step away from becoming Venerable Masters, Lu Zhou leaped backward, choosing to dodge.
At this time, the White Dragon Jade, which had multiplied into four, shot into the four elders’ bodies.
Primal Qi began to surge as four black holes appeared in the sky.
The inscriptions and runes on the ground lit up like vines snaking toward the four elders. All the energy was sent into their bodies.
The emperor, who was still hovering in the sky, said, “With the help of my White Dragon Jade and the formation, the four elders of Mount Li will have the strength of Venerable Masters in no time at all. What are you going to do then?”
Lu Zhou recited the mantra for the Heavenly Writing’s power of sight. Following that, the blueprint of the formation was revealed before his eyes. He could also see the bones and meridians of the four elders of Mount Li. Then, there was also Gao Cheng who was still emitting a green light above the Mystic Tranquility Hall. Lu Zhou could clearly see Gao Cheng standing in a circle of light as he controlled and maintained the formation.
Lu Zhou knew he had to act quickly before the four elders of Mount Li gained the strength of Venerable Masters. He straightened his back before he said, “Qin Renyue, hold them back!”
“Don’t worry, Brother Lu!” Qin Renyue said as he slapped the four guards away. Then, he shouted, “49 Swordsmen of the Northern Mountain Range, get into position!”
“Understood!”
The 49 swordsmen flew up and formed a seven-way formation on their flying swords.
The emperor unleashed a palm seal immediately to stop them.
At this time, Qin Renyue attacked the four elders of Mount Li.
The four elders of Mount Li felt the surging power in their bodies and grew so excited that their faces flushed red. They had always dreamed of becoming Venerable Masters, after all.
“Nine Cuts Hand Seal!” Cui Mingguang took the lead to attack.
Ji Shi, Zhou Chongshu, and Tang Zibing struck with their palms one after another.
The four elders of Mount Li used the same tactic from before but it was different now due to their surging strength.
Qin Renyue manifested his astrolabe and charged forward with the full might of his Birth Chart Power!
Boom!
The palm seals were destroyed by Qin Renyue’s Birth Chart Power. The Birth Chart Power continued to shoot toward the four elders of Mount Li.
Swoosh!
The four elders of Mount Li dodged before they flashed in four different directions, surrounding Qin Renyue, before they attacked again!
“Venerable Master Qin, watch out!” Yuan Lang, one of the 49 swordsmen, cried out.
Qin Renyue’s astrolabe spun and successively blocked the attacks from the four elders of Mount Li.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When the four elders struck with their palms, time seemed to stop for a moment.
Qin Renyue frowned. “The power of the Dao? Venerable Masters?”
The four elders of Mount Li laughed heartily. Their laughter resounded thunderously. They finally became Venerable Masters whom countless cultivators looked up to.
At this moment, the four elders’ attack landed on Qin Renyue. Pain spread through his chest as he was sent flying back. His Qi and blood surged in his body immediately before he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Upon seeing this, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong exchanged a look before they nodded.
“Old Fourth, look after our junior sisters! Second Junior Brother, shall we?” Yu Zhenghai said as the Jasper Saber flew into his hand.
“Let’s go.” Yu Shangrong nodded as he unsheathed the Longevity Sword.
Tens of thousands of energy sabers and energy swords flew toward the four elders of Mount Li immediately.
Lu Zhou glanced back before he flew higher and higher. Gao Cheng and the Mystic Tranquility Hall were just ahead of him, but the space seemed to stretch infinitely. With his cultivation base, he should have arrived before Gao Cheng in just a blink of an eye, but he felt as though he was flying across the Endless Ocean now. No matter how he flew, he still could not close the distance.
Upon seeing this, Gao Cheng laughed and said, “Don’t bother. The formation extends space infinitely. The further you fly, the further the space will extend.”
Lu Zhou silently recited the mantra for the power of sight again. Then, the runes and inscriptions appeared in front of him again.
After a moment…
“The power of infinite deduction!”
