How could someone like Tuoba Sicheng not have any life-saving techniques? He had puppets for occasions like this. However, why did the puppets not absorb the fatal strike? How did Lord Zhennan bypass his puppets and destroy his Birth Chart?

There were always loopholes in cultivation after all.

Lord Zhennan was an expert comparable to Tian Wu. When he dominated the world, Tuoba Sicheng was still playing with mud. Even if he and Tian Wu were no longer as strong as he was in the past, how could they be trampled by these juniors? Moreover, as the saying went, ‘The older, the wiser’.

Tuoba Sicheng naturally would not sit back and wait for death. His eyes were bloodshot as he endured the excruciating pain. At some point, the black scimitar had appeared in his hand again. Furious, he exploded with all his energy. The astrolabe appeared under his feet, and a pillar of light shot into the sky.

“Break!”

Tuoba Sicheng and the green pillar of light shot toward Lord Zhennan. He became one with the pillar of light as he flew out.

Lord Zhennan stabilized himself with his roots as he waved countless branches in the air to meet Tuoba Sicheng’s attack.

Boom!

The spectators had already grown numb to powerful shockwaves at this time. Everyone watched as the sky lit up like an aurora. It was extremely dazzling; it was as though the sun had finally risen in this place and chased the darkness away.

The mountains around the Pillar of Destruction shook and rumbled, looking like they were on the verge of collapse.

Lord Zhennan leaped up as the pillar of light landed on him. His roots spread out and fell down like a huge net toward Tuoba Sicheng’s astrolabe again. When they wrapped around Tuoba Sicheng’s astrolabe with vise-like grips again…

Crack!

Lord Zhennan’s roots broke Tuoba Sicheng’s astrolabe, which was 10,000-foot-long in diameter, again!

Following that, Lord Zhennan flew up, and Tuoba Sicheng fell down. One hovered among the clouds while the other crashed heavily on the ground.

Boom!

The earth trembled.

Lord Zhennan’s furious voice rang from the sky. “Since I’ve chosen to uproot myself, why would I be afraid of risking my life to fight you? How stupid!”

When Tuoba Sicheng who was lying on the ground heard these words, he spat out another mouthful of blood. Blood spurted out of his mouth and drew an arc in the air before dropping to the ground. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the sky resentfully. He was human; why would he fight to the death with a tree? Moreover, he truly had been stupid; he let his competitiveness blind him. He could have watched from the side as Lu Zhou, Tian Wu, and Lord Zhennan fought, but he could not hold back from making a move.

Thinking about the Birth Chart Lord Zhennan destroyed, Tuoba Sicheng was immensely glad he had 20 Birth Charts. If he had 18 Birth Charts, losing one Birth Chart was not as simple as losing one Birth Chart.

At this time, Tuoba Sicheng’s eyes widened imperceptibly as he watched Lord Zhennan descending from the sky. It seemed like Lord Zhennan was heavily injured as well. He endured the soul-piercing pain and hurriedly shouted, “Ye Zheng! What are you waiting for?!”

As soon as Tuoba Sicheng’s words fell…

Ye Zheng and more than ten cultivators appeared in the sky above the Pillar of Destruction.

Eight pillars appeared in the sky, shooting out beams of light and forming an enclosed area.

As the cultivators spread out, Ye Zheng shot out like a cannonball toward Lord Zhennan.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting!”

Green light bloomed in Ye Zheng’s palm. At the same time, the eight pillars released energy seals consecutively.

“It’s over for you, Lord Zhennan!” Ye Zheng mobilized the power of the Dao.

The air stagnated for a moment.

Boom!

A monstrous force landed on the falling Lord Zhennan, piercing him.

“…”

Everyone watched in shock and disbelief as Lord Zhennan was defeated.

After his successful attack, Ye Zheng turned around. His body was bathed in a green light as the eight pillars continued shooting out beams of light that converged on him.

Ye Zheng’s attack succeeded, and he turned around to hover in the air. His entire body was bathed in green light, and the eight pillars of light continuously shot out rays of light, gathering together with him.

“This is called the Eight-Sided Treasure Formation. It can gather the power of heaven and earth,” Ye Zheng calmly said.

Lord Zhennan laughed. His laughter sounded horrifying. When his laughter subsided, he said, “I’ve already merged with the ancient tree. I’m heartless, soulless, and lifeless…”

“Hmmm”

The hole on Lord Zhennan’s trunk was mending itself rapidly. At the same time, the roots began to gather and expand before digging into the ground. Then, streaks of green energy rushed into Lord Zhennan from his roots. The roots were greedily absorbing the energy from the ground.

Lu Zhou glanced at Lord Zhennan; he was not very interested in this ancient tree. He did not know why Lord Zhennan would make such a huge sacrifice and uproot itself. Lord Zhennan even used such a powerful move.

“Alright. I’ll give you a little help.” Lu Zhou pushed his hand out.

Bang!

The Pillar of Impermanence stabbed into the ground. Its range easily covered the eight pillars of the Eight-Sided Treasure Formation.

At this time, Lord Zhennan no longer cared about his lifespan. He only felt that the speed of circulation had increased.

“Go!”

Ye Zheng moved as fast as a shooting star toward Lord Zhennan. Ten cultivators flew out with him along with more than 20 of Tuoba Sicheng’s men.

Lord Zhennan said thunderously, “The weak will have to pay the price!”

Lord Zhennan exploded with energy; flames surged out as flowers began to bloom on the branches.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The flaming flowers flew out like dandelions. With their sheer number, they looked like blooming fireworks.

The flaming flowers melted the ice in their wake, reducing the flowers, plants, and trees into ashes.

Ye Zheng held his astrolabe up to face the flaming flowers when he suddenly felt a terrifying burning energy invade his soul. He was so frightened that he hurriedly put his astrolabe away.

Alas, when Ye Zheng’s put his astrolabe away, his men and Tuoba Sicheng’s men, who had been injured by Lu Wu, turned into burning men.

A sea of fire raged in the sky at this moment. The sky was red, and the heat burned everyone’s nerves.

Miserable cries rang in the air as the smell of burnt flesh permeated the air.

One after another, the cultivators’ Birth Charts were destroyed until they had none left.

Death had arrived!

Ye Zheng was horrified! He retreated, trying to dodge the flaming flowers.

Tuoba Sicheng, who was lying on the ground, tried his best to keep the flaming flowers at bay as well.

Lu Zhou used the Confinement Seal to block the residual force from the flaming flowers.

This was not the end of Lord Zhennan’s attack. At this time, flaming vines shot out and attacked Ye Zheng in a frenzy.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

With that, Ye Zheng’s avatar that resembled Shang Fu, the three-headed bird, was forced out before its three heads were severed at the same time!

Ye Zheng, who was in a miserable state now, exploded with the power of the Dao. “You madman, Lord Zhennan!”

Boom!

Explosions rang from the sky.

Lord Zhennan was not intimidated at all. His roots tightened their grips around Ye Zheng.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ye Zheng used the power of the Dao to make the void stagnate and the power of his Great Birth Chart to self-destruct. The flaming vines broke and fell.

With that Lord Zhennan stopped moving as the fire gradually died away.

Although Ye Zheng managed to free himself, he had been demoted.

Primal Qi raged in the air; a storm was brewing.

At this time, Ye Zheng called out, “Tuoba Sicheng, hurry up and help me gather Primal Qi!”
