read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 1829

The cultivator in the Sacred Region looked at the sky in unspeakable fear. Faced with the dangerous aura of the sword energy and the crack, they froze, not knowing what to do.

Boom!

The sword energy fell, and at the critical moment when it was about to land, Ming Xin suddenly appeared under the energy sword.

Ming Xin’s eyes burned with flames. He held the Scales of Justice with both hands to block the sword strike that could split heaven and earth.

Everyone was stunned.

The four supreme emperors looked at the golden Scales of Justice in disbelief.

…

At the same time, Lu Zhou’s ten disciples scattered throughout the nine domains also seemed to have forgotten about the predicament they were in as they looked at the projection in the sky.

…

Lu Zhou tightened his grip around Unnamed and looked down at Ming Xin.

…

When the duo’s eyes met, they seemed to be engaged in a battle of wills.

If two people met on a narrow path, the one with the weaker aura would have to give way to the bolder one.

At this time, Ming Xin could no longer perfectly control his expressions. He looked angry and unwilling as he said in a deep voice, “No one’s allowed to touch the Sacred Region!”

Unnamed’s energy sword continued to press down on the Scales of Justice.

Lu Zhou looked at the Scales of Justice, raising an eyebrow slightly. He said, “The Scales of Justice is indeed a treasure. It can actually block my sword…”

Buzz!

The energy sword pressed down again.

The Scales of Justice were forced down by the supreme Dao power, and they looked as though they were going to cave in.

At this moment, the cultivators in the Sacred Region called out one after another.

“Great Emperor!”

“Your Majesty!”

In the eyes of the cultivators of the Sacred Region, Ming Xin was their backbone. He was the existence that supported them and most importantly, kept them alive. As for the Unholy One, the cultivators only felt that he had turned into a real demon at this time.

Ming Xin said, “I exhausted all my energy to build the Sacred Region. The collapse of the Pillars of Destruction and the fall of the Great Void are heaven’s will. I want to give all of them a chance to leave, and I want to keep the Sacred Region safe and peaceful for all eternity! What’s so wrong about that?!”

Lu Zhou said in a low voice, “Your death is imminent, but you still don’t know what you did wrong! I really can’t stand you.”

Bzzzzt!

The electric arcs flashing on Unnamed burst forth with unprecedented power.

Boom!

Ming Xin sensed the terrifying destructive power and was forced to fly backward. Then, he tossed the Scales of Justice into the air and cried out, “Balance!”

The Scales of Justice spun 360 degrees in the sky.

The power of the law surged in the sky, trying to draw more power from the ten pillars of light.

Lu Zhou waved his hand. “Hourglass of Time.”

Swoosh!

“Freeze.”

The energy in the Hourglass of Time swept out; blue electric arcs covered everything like a net. Even the Heavenly Dao Flag and the Great Stone of the Natural Law were covered in blue electric arcs.

Everything stopped.

Ming Xin paused for a breath. Then, he glared at Lu Zhou and said in a deep voice, “You can’t freeze me!”

Swoosh!

Ming Xin flashed and grabbed the Scales of Justice, trying to balance the energy and the power in the Sacred Region.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhou said indifferently, “Who said I want to freeze you?”

“Hm?” Ming Xin raised his head instinctively to look at Lu Zhou as an ominous feeling rose in his heart. Following that, he heard Lu Zhou’s cold and powerful voice.

“Countercurrent.”

‘The great law of time?!’ Ming Xin’s heart skipped a beat as his eyes widened imperceptibly in shock. Then, he felt time flowing in reverse. He saw his hand moving further away from the Scales of Justice. At the same time, the Heavenly Dao Flag and the Great Stone of Natural Law seemed to have overlapped.

In the abnormally still space, Lu Zhou used Countercurrent again. The double usage made its effect even stronger. Would Lu Zhou, or anyone else for that matter, give up such a perfect opportunity to attack?

Unnamed’s sword energy fell toward Ming Xin immediately.

However, at this moment, the Scales of Justice suddenly appeared in front of Ming Xin, bursting forth with a golden light.

Boom!

The energy sword fell heavily at the center of the Scales of Justice.

The shockwave from the collision swept out in all directions in the sky.

At this time, time returned to normal.

The Scales of Justice struck Ming Xin, and he immediately felt pain in his internal organs. Primal Qi and the power of the laws surged in the sky as he flew back for about 30 miles before he finally managed to regain his footing.

…

Bai Zhaoju, who was watching from afar, could not help but exclaim, “A supreme treasure that isn’t bound by the laws! What an overbearing sword! It’s indeed extraordinary!”

“The Scales of Justice managed to block it twice so it’s also an extraordinary treasure…”

The four supreme emperors who were watching the battle from afar were all amazed.

…

Ming Xin looked at the Unholy One, who was holding Unnamed, in disbelief.

Lu Zhou’s expression was just as calm as ever as he looked back at Ming Xin.

At this time, the cultivators in the Sacred Region felt like they had seen hope and began to cheer.

“The Scales of Justice is indeed a supreme treasure! It blocked the Unholy One’s full-force attack!”

“Long live the Great Emperor! Long live the Great Void!”

“Long live the Great Emperor! Long live the Great Void!”

The cheers resounded in the sky.

Meanwhile, after staring at Lu Zhou, Ming Xin lowered his head and looked at the Scales of Justice in his hand.

Crack!

A distinct cracking sound rang out as the Scales of Justice split into two!

One half of it suddenly disintegrated into an orb of light like the sun, illuminating the entire Sacred Region for a moment before it dimmed and disappeared into the horizon.

Ming Xin’s eyes widened in shock, and his hands trembled as he scrambled to grab the remaining half of the Scales of Justice. Alas, despite his attempt, his hand was only grasping at air.

‘This… How’s this possible?!’

“The scales…” Ming Xin’s voice trembled slightly. He felt as though his heart was bleeding at this moment as he looked at the remaining half of the Scales of Justice.

The other half of the Scales of Justice disintegrated into an orb of light like the moon. Its light was like snow and frost. It gradually dimmed and disappeared into the sky.

Ming Xin reached out again instinctively, but it was too late.

The Scales of Justice was a sacred relic that had accompanied Ming Xin for many years. He had fought countless enemies with it, and today, it was destroyed by the Unholy One’s swords. How could he accept this?

…

“…”

Needless to say, the supreme emperors, Bai Zhaoju; Chi Biaonu; Ling Weiyang; and Shang Zhang, were all shocked again.

…

After watching the dissolution of the Scales of Justice, Lu Zhou raised the sword in his hand slightly.

The light of the sword was just as bright as before, and it was brimming with power.

Then, Lu Zhou said, “To be able to withstand two strikes from my sword, it can be considered a pretty good treasure.”

Upon hearing those words, Ming Xin’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Lu Zhou. His voice was deep as he said, “The Great Stone of Natural Law and the Heavenly Dao Flag come from the Great Maelstrom… Did the sword in your hand also come from the Great Maelstrom?”

Lu Zhou did not answer Ming Xin’s question. Instead, he pointed his sword at Ming Xin and said, “Say your last words before I send you on your way…”

Ming Xin raised his head and looked at the ten pillars of light. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Then, he said, “If my abilities are only to this extent, do you really think I could sit firmly at the peak of the Great Void for 100,000 years?”

“Hm?” Lu Zhou watched Ming Xin’s movements carefully.

Ming Xin had raised his hands, making a series of constantly changing hand gestures. Following that, lines lit up on Ming Xin’s body. Soon enough, the lines weaved together and formed an image of a long dragon.

…

From different places, Bai Zhaoju and Si Wuya, who seemed to recognize the image, exclaimed at almost the same time, “The supreme-ruler, You Ying?!”

…

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. He could sense the ancient Dragon Soul trembling within the supreme mark robe. ‘What is it? Even the ancient Dragon Soul is afraid of it?’

Then, Lu Zhou saw a translucent figure emerging from Ming Xin’s body.

At this moment, Bai Zhaoju transmitted his voice to Lu Zhou and said, “It’s said that the two most powerful supreme-rulers in the world are the sun supreme-ruler; Zhu Zhao, and the moon supreme-ruler; You Ying. Chaos gave birth to the duo. Zhu Zhao is a light dragon, representing the sun. You Ying represents the moon, and it wields the power of the darkness. Its status is equal to the light dragon.”

“You Ying?” Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow slightly. At the same time, fragments of memories regarding You Ying flashed in his mind.

As one of the earliest humans to exist in this world, the Unholy One wanted to study the origins of Zhu Zhao and You Ying. However, the cultivation era dawned soon after, and he put the matter to the back of his mind.

In the end, no one knew how the two supreme-rulers were born, and no one knew what happened to them. It was rumored that the sun in the sky was Zhu Zhao, and the moon in the night sky was You Ying.

Lu Zhou raised his head and looked at the sky, but unfortunately, nothing could be seen.

At this time, Ming Xin suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, enunciating each word, “One should work hard every day and walk with the times.”

Then, the long dragon shot toward Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou flew higher into the sky and slashed at the dragon with his sword.

Swoosh!

As the sword tore through the void, the dragon continued to grow as it rushed toward Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou flipped in the air and used the great power of teleportation, which allowed him to travel thousands of miles in just a blink of an eye.

At the same time, Ming Xin soared into the sky. While he exerted his will, he joined the fray as well and began to fight.

In just a blink of an eye, they seemed to have traveled for tens of thousands of miles.

With that, the sky above the Sacred Region became silent again. Only the ten pillars of lights and the ten Towers of Heaven could be seen in the sky, quietly and constantly absorbing and transmitting energy.

…

After the two experts disappeared at the speed of light, Si Wuya looked at the Sacred Region through the projection.

At this time, Bai Zhaoju transmitted his voice to Si Wuya and said, “I’ll rescue you!”

However, to Bai Zhaoju’s surprise, Si Wuya replied, “There’s no need.”

Bai Zhaoju asked, puzzled, “Why?”

Si Wuya observed the ten pillars of light in the sky above the Sacred Region through the projection for a moment before he said mysteriously, “It’s almost time… There are another two hours left…”

“Hmm?”

…

Lu Zhou and Ming Xin tore the space apart as they fought.

In just a short time, they had appeared on the surface of the Endless Ocean.

The fierce battle stirred up waves as high as the sky and indiscriminately killed a large number of sea beasts.

With You Ying, Ming Xin had become several times stronger than before.

This was beyond Lu Zhou’s expectations. He brandished his sword and attacked Ming Xin and the dragon that moved as one as he asked, “So this is where your confidence came from?”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The soul was incorporeal, and it was not under the jurisdictions of the laws. Hence, after Unnamed cleaved You Ying into two, You Ying very quickly became whole again.

Ming Xin replied in a deep voice, “You should know the answer to that!”

A roar rang in the air, repelling the sky-high waves.

The duo continued to fight, tearing the space apart in the process.

The Endless Ocean was not peaceful, to begin with. With the battle between two great experts with nine light disks each, waves after waves of tsunamis swept out, threatening to swallow the nine domains.

The nine domains shook over and over again.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The duo cut through the sky and flew toward the horizon. The power of the laws in the sky surged violently as the aura of You Ying’s soul suppressed 10,000 sea beasts.

At this time, Kun at the bottom of the sea slowly rose to the surface of the sea. Its body was like a huge shadow at the bottom of the sea.

Lu Zhou brandished his sword again. “Slash!”

The 10,000-foot-long energy sword slashed You Ying, traveling from the top to the bottom and cleaving it into two. The momentum brought the energy to the surface of the sea.

Kun trembled and quickly sank back into the bottom of the sea.

Lu Zhou and Ming Xin were focused on their battle, not caring about anything else.

After You Ying recovered, it merged with Ming Xin again. Then, they flew to the east.

Lu Zhou followed suit immediately.

Just like that, they disappeared into the horizon in just one breath.

After a period of time, Kun slowly surfaced to the top of the sea again. Its eyes were looking in the eastern direction. It seemed to be dissatisfied as water shot out of its blowhole like a water fountain. Then, it flew into the sky thinking to itself, ‘What bad luck!’

…

Buzz! Buzz!

Ming Xin came to a stop about 3,000 feet above the sea.

Lu Zhou stood across from Ming Xin.

The duo looked down at the same time and discovered they had arrived at the Great Maelstrom.

The whirlpool’s diameter seemed to span 10,000 miles, seemingly boundless.

The duo had been fighting, moving without paying attention to where they were going. Hence, they were slightly surprised to discover that they had come to the Great Maelstrom.

After a while, Ming Xin said, “This is all fate.”

“I don’t believe in fate,” Lu Zhou said as he pointed his sword at Ming Xin, “Souls will gradually weaken. I want to see how long you can last with You Ying!”

Ming Xin was not resigned to this. He looked at the sky, estimating the time. Then, he said, “The Towers of Heaven will use the ten seeds to build new laws. At that time, no one will be able to do anything to the Sacred Region. At that time, in the Sacred Region, I’ll be an omnipotent supreme-ruler!”

“Omnipotent?” Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow skeptically.

Ming Xin continued to say, “I just didn’t expect that we’d still end up at the Great Maelstrom. I’ll bet with you one more time!”

“What bet?”

Ming Xin pointed at the whirlpool and said, “Bet on who dares to enter the space-time gateway!”
