Lu Zhou frowned.

The Void Chest tribesmen were known for their tough skin. He had experienced this during his first encounter with them at Transient City. However, things had changed since then. He was now a Twenty Chart Great Venerable Master, and his strength had increased greatly. The Void Chest tribesmen were still the same; killing them would not be difficult. Nonetheless, he did not expect the high priest to be stubborn. The high priest should have almost the strength of a Venerable Master.

Princess Mulberry urged anxiously, “Why don’t you beg me?”

“Why would I do that?”

“You can’t kill him.”

“How do you know I can’t kill him?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Well…” Princess Mulberry looked at him and said, “Trust me. It’d be troublesome for you.”

“What do you mean?”

Princess Mulberry pointed at the scepter and said, “You might be stronger than him, but he’s more prepared. Look.”

The blood threads on the scepter had grown even brighter. At the same time, blood threads appeared on the bodies of the Void Chest tribesmen again.

They were still in the Blood Priest Sealing Formation, after all. Those who died in the formation were still under the control of the high priest.

It was this kind of witchcraft technique that Lu Zhou hated most. He had experienced this in the past before. In hindsight, the witchcraft spells of the past could not compare to what they were now.

“It’s too late. What a pity! It’s not easy to meet a human that I like. What a pity!” Princess Mulberry kept muttering to herself as she returned to the white crane’s back. She sat down before she patted it lightly.

Then, the white crane let out a cry before it flew into the distance so Princess Mulberry could watch from afar.

Boom!

The high priest flew up, holding the Confinement Seal. His body and robe were drenched in blood. Then, he threw the Confinement Seal away with all his might.

Lu Zhou was rather surprised by the hp’s strength and tenacity.

The high priest lifted his hand, and the blood on his body turned into butterflies again and flew out in all directions. In just a moment, the burned area was teeming with the blood butterflies.

Following that, the corpses of the Void Chest tribesmen stood up lifelessly. Their limbs were stiff, and their movements were mechanical.

The blood threads on the scepter were like a net that covered the ground, shining with a fluorescent light. The scepter stood in the center as the blood threads spread out.

With this, the Void Chest tribesmen’s eyes shone with hatred and were filled with the overwhelming urge to destroy everything.

The high priest laughed and said, “I told you, you can’t kill me.”

“It’s too early for you to say so!” Lu Zhou threw out the Hourglass of Time again. Then, he shattered an Insight Card.

The blue sand in the hourglass began to fall, causing everything to freeze, except for Princess Mulberry. This meant that she had a deeper comprehension of the power of the Dao or was skilled in the law of time.

“The Hourglass of Time?” Princess Mulberry exclaimed, “It belonged to the Unholy One. Unfortunately, I’ve never met the Unholy One before.”

Princess Mulberry grew even more curious about Lu Zhou. She studied Lu Zhou carefully, hoping to discover some secrets. Then, she continued watching the show. Even if the world collapsed, she would not interfere with the matter in front of her.

Time began to flow again.

Lu Zhou had already arrived in front of the high priest. Under the effect of the Insight Card, he saw the high priest’s weakness clearly. He was stunned when he saw red dots covering the high priest’s whole body. However, he soon realized that it was not that the high priest’s body was filled with weaknesses; it was that his weak point was moving, and because it was moving at such a high speed, it looked as though the red dot was all over his body.

Although the speed was truly fast, Lu Zhou resolutely drew his sword at a high speed.

This was the fastest speed of the sword that Yu Shangrong had ever seen. When he was young, he had asked his master, “What’s the fastest sword technique in the world?”

At that time, his master had replied, “The killing sword.”

Yu Shangrong had thought it was a perfunctory answer for the longest time. It was not until became known as the Sword Devil in the golden lotus domain that he understood what the fastest sword technique was. There was no fastest sword technique in the world. As long as one was faster than one’s opponent, it was enough.

Like his master, Yu Shangrong stood up high when it came to the sword path, overlooking the world. It was difficult for him to explain the sword path to others just like how his master had difficulty explaining it to him back then.

At this moment, Yu Shangrong held his breath, trying his best to capture his master’s every move. Unfortunately, it only lasted for three breaths before it ended. He could not see anything at all. He only felt the fluctuations in the air as Unnamed disappeared.

It was even more difficult for the others to catch Lu Zhou’s movement.

However, the high priest who had the cultivation base of a Venerable Master saw it. He saw the sword coming at him from all directions at the same time. It was as though there were tens of thousands of hands wielding the sword. He only saw this for a moment before he felt the sensation of being pierced.

The battle seemed to have ended before it even started.

The high priest lowered his head and looked at the bloody holes on his body in disbelief.

Every strike was just right; no more, no less, they were just right.

“This…” The high priest raised his head and looked at Lu Zhou. His body started to tremble as blood gushed out from the holes. “Y-you… W-why, why did you come to Ji Ming?”

“Why do I need to tell you why I came here?” Lu Zhou thought the high priest was really stupid.

The high priest grunted before he said, “Y-you… Why’s the Hourglass of Time in your hands?”

The high priest glanced at the Hourglass of Time on the ground with an expression of confusion.

Lu Zhou did not answer. This question was as stupid as the one before. He would only lower his IQ if he answered them.

The high priest chuckled as he panted heavily. Then, he muttered over and over again, “You can’t kill me, you can’t kill me…”

Subsequently, Lu Zhou saw a strange scene.

The blood gushing out of the high priest’s body began to flow backward.

“Hm?” Lu Zhou frowned. He could no longer use the Hourglass of Time for the time being. If he did not kill the high priest now, it would be even more difficult later on. It was beyond his expectation that the high priest could survive such a powerful sword technique that struck at his weak point.

In the sky, Yao Ji, or Princess Mulberry, who was standing on the back of the white crane, smiled faintly and said, “It’s really been a long time since I’ve met such a powerful human like you. Since you’re not willing to beg me, you should run now. Run far away.”

“…”

Lu Zhou was speechless as he watched Princess Mulberry point in the direction of Yu Zhong with bright and limpid eyes.

The high priest shook his head and said, “Your Highness, you’ve underestimated me and overestimated him… The ultimate secret of the Blood Priest Sealing Technique isn’t with me. It lies with heaven and earth. As long as heaven and earth aren’t destroyed, I’ll live forever.”

Princess Mulberry was slightly annoyed when she heard the words ‘live forever’. She did not like the idea of a second immortal in the Unknown Land. In the end, she said, “However, even heaven and earth can be destroyed.”

“???”

The smile on the high priest’s face froze before it disappeared. He shook his head and said, “Your Highness, why did you say that to scare me? You’re the daughter of the Red Emperor. You must abide by the rules that the Red Emperor had laid down and not interfere with the affairs of the outside world. As it is, your words have already disturbed the battle.”

Previously, the high priest did not care about what Princess Mulberry said. As long as she did not interfere, he was sure everything would be fine. However, he discovered that the ugly and stupid human in front of him was much stronger than he expected. With this, Princess Mulberry’s words could easily affect the battle.

Princess Mulberry smiled and asked, “Are you threatening me?”

The high priest felt the majesty from Princess Mulberry bearing down on him, and he hurriedly said humbly, “I don’t dare!”

“Boring creatures,” Princess Mulberry slowly said, “You’ve already offended me. Let me tell you, the so-called supreme-rulers are just old geezers. No matter what the result is today… you’ll be buried in Ji Ming.”

“…”

The high priest raised his head. Chills ran up his spine. He looked at Princess Mulberry who was hovering right below the dark fog. Her eyes were like pools of stagnant water; they were devoid of emotions. Then, he saw the silhouette of a huge fierce beast in the dark fog that took a detour to avoid Princess Mulberry.

Lu Zhou turned and said, “You don’t have to interfere.”

Princess Mulberry remained silent.

Lu Zhou flew out. He sensed the vitality energy and the VTC who were being resurrected before he said, “Lu Wu, bring everyone far away.”

Lu Wu felt an inexplicable pressure. It was a beast emperor, but at this moment, it felt its fur stand on end. It spun around and brought Duanmu Sheng to his head before it stomped heavily on the ground with its two front legs.

Boom!

The earth and the mountains shook!

Everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion had underestimated Lu Wu’s strength. With just a stomp, everyone, except for Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, and Qin Naihe, was tossed up into the air.

Then, Lu Wu spat out a cloud of white mist, forming a strong wind that blew everyone away.

Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, and Qin Naihe hurried toward the others immediately.

Lu Wu called out, “Young Master.”

“I’m fine,” Duanmu Sheng said.

“Hold on tight,” Lu Wu said. It glanced back once before it leaped into the air.

Seeing that the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion had left, Lu Zhou pressed his hand down.

The Pillar of Impermanence spun even more rapidly than before absorbing the life force in the surroundings, causing the ground to quake.

The high priest said, surprised, “You subdued the pillar?”

Lu Zhou did not reply to him. Instead, he landed on the ground and said, “I think I understand now.”

“What do you understand?”

“If you possess the Pillar of Impermanence, the Blood Priest Sealing Formation will be even more difficult to deal with,” Lu Zhou said.

The high priest glared at Lu Zhou and said, “So what if you know this? You still can’t kill me!”

With this, Lu Zhou smacked his hand on the ground.

The Pillar of Impermanence’s circulation speed was increased to 5,000 times faster.

After that, Lu Zhou sensed the Pillar of Impermanence. Its spirituality seemed to have increased.

The high priest gestured with his hand, sending the blood butterflies toward Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou tapped the tip of his foot lightly.

Boom!

The Pillar of Impermanence broke out of the ground. The dazzling golden pillar with a diameter of 100 meters spun and rose into the sky.

Princess Mulberry murmured to herself, “It’s really the Pillar of Impermanence.”

Previously, she did not pay attention to this item. Now, she counted as she muttered, “Void, fusion, infinite… Hmm, he’s really not simple. Why hasn’t anyone from the Great Void brought him there? Oh, right, the imbalance!”

Lu Zhou did not look at the Void Chest tribesmen as he unleashed his second Birth Trial ability, the Water Lotus Storm.

The water lotus was the polar opposite of the flaming lotus. Water and fire were incompatible, after all. The heat from the earlier flaming lotuses and the coldness from the water lotus combined were truly uncomfortable.

Those who tried to attack Lu Zhou were all frozen by the cold and shattered into pieces.

The high priest flew over, surrounded by the blood butterflies. He held a blood knife that was formed from his blood as he roared, “Die!”

Lu Zhou spun around and raised his hand to block the strike.

Bang!

The blood knife was blocked by Lu Zhou’s palm seals.

Swoosh!

However, the blood knife was rather special. It actually managed to cut through the palm seals.

Upon seeing this, the high priest laughed as though he had seen hope.

Alas, Lu Zhou turned the high priest’s hope into despair soon after. He unleashed another palm seal and imbued it with the supreme power.

Bang!

The high priest’s blood knife broke into pieces immediately.

Lu Zhou stepped on the Pillar of Impermanence before he flew forward.

Boom!

The Pillar of Impermanence pressed down on the high priest’s chest and knocked him to the ground. In the end, he was pushed several meters into the ground.

“It’s really strange. From the beginning until now, you didn’t even have the ability to come close to me; you didn’t manage to hurt me at all. You don’t even have the ability to force me to use my full strength so where does your confidence come from?”

The high priest spat out a mouthful of blood. Lu Zhou’s words poked at his sore spot. After all, Lu Zhou was right. During the entire battle, he did not even manage to leave a scratch on Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou was still spotlessly clean and even had a lot of strength left. On the contrary, he was in a sorry state, riddled with holes.

Lu Zhou stepped on the Pillar of Impermanence again, increasing the speed to 10,000 times faster.

Boom!

The Pillar of Impermanence sunk into the ground, pushing the high priest deeper into the ground as well.

Lu Zho could feel the vitality energy and life force surging into the Pillar of Impermanence even faster than before, stimulating the pillar’s spirituality.

At this moment, the high priest finally felt scared. He tried to escape but the Pillar of Impermanence was firmly pressed against his chest so he could not move. In the end, he roared crazily, “Your Highness, save me! Save me!”

Lu Zhou bent down and mobilized his supreme power before he smacked the top of the Pillar of Impermanence.

“100,000 times!”

An even more powerful vortex appeared. Even Lu Zhou, the owner of the Pillar of Impermanence, felt his life force draining away. He steadied himself as he stood above the pillar. He took a step forward and focused the energy in his Dantian’s sea of Qi before he shouted, “Pillar of Impermanence!”

With this, the last of the purplish-black runes on the Pillar of Impermanence faded away and was replaced with dazzling golden runes. With this, it had complete spirituality now. Now that it had completely acknowledged Lu Zhou’s as its master, the pulling force around Lu Zhou stopped immediately.

Upon sensing the change, Lu Zhou thought to himself, ‘I finally have complete control over you.’

The 100,000 times faster circulation speed did not affect Lu Zhou at all now that the pillar gained spirituality. In less than 15 minutes, the Pillar of Impermanence had already gathered 10,000 years of life.

“Your Highness! Save me!” the high priest roared again.

In the sky, Princess Mulberry looked at Lu Zhou, who was standing above the Pillar of Impermanence, with a complicated expression on her face as she said, “What a powerful human.”

The high priest continued to shout, “Yao Ji! You’re a princess in vain! If the Red Emperor knows about what happened today, he’ll definitely punish you! Just you wait! You can’t kill me!”

The high priest laughed maniacally.

Princess Mulberry frowned slightly before saying tonelessly, “Alright. It seems like I can’t spare you.”

With a tap of her toes on the snow-white crane, she vanished. She reappeared in front of Lu Zhou, unaffected by the Pillar of Impermanence. Her yellow dress fluttered and glittered like dim stars. The headdress on her head was dazzling as well.

Princess Mulberry walked elegantly past the vortex and the Pillar of Impermanence in the Blood Priest Sealing Formation. A circle of light rippled under her feet with each step she took.

Suddenly, the speed of absorption of the Pillar of Impermanence increased again, causing the void to distort.. In just a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years swiftly converged and surged into the pillar.
