read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 904

“Cultivators liked to categorize weapons based on this sentence: Heaven and earth are united; there was no difference between them when they were originally one.”

“At the heaven-grade, weapons will undergo qualitative changes. They might even be able to break the limit if the circumstances are right. One can wield them with cultivation methods from the schools of Confucianism, Buuhism, and Taoism, and unleash great power. For example, bows and arrows can produce energy arrows; sabers can produce saber rays. Desolate-grade weapons see an increase in destructive power, defenses, and a stronger bond. Flood-grade weapons are incredibly tough and have special skills. Some weapons are only useful when they’ve reached the flood-grade. An example of this would be the Confinement Seal.”

Li Yunzheng asked, “So, does this mean that this is the special skill of the Sea Spirit Pearl? Is the Sea Spirit Pearl a flood-grade weapon?”

Si Wuya looked at the frost that kept spreading in the air and shook his head.

Li Yunzheng exclaimed, “Don’t tell me it’s a universe-grade weapon?!”

Si Wuya said, “Since ancient times, they’ve been called universe-grade weapons. The universe refers to everything in creation. Logically speaking, universe-grade weapons should be superior to flood-grade weapons. However, such weapons are rarely seen in the cultivation world. Due to their rarity, not many know of them, and there has never been a fixed name for these weapons. After going through the ancient books in the Sky Martial Court, I found a list of specific weapons. However, instead of being labeled as universe-grade, they used the words ‘constant fusion’ to describe it. The universe is both heaven and earth. The universe is time itself, and time is constant. They can be fused with one’s body and into one’s blood. There are three kinds of fusion…”

Si Wuya stopped speaking as he watched the rapidly spreading frost.

On the other hand, an expression of embarrassment appeared on Li Yunzheng’s face when he heard Si Wuya’s words. He had always claimed to be well-read, but he realized now how ignorant he was. His teacher was like a monster!

During his time in the Sky Martial Court, although Li Yunzheng was busy trying to solve the questions his teacher had given him, he had still taken time to visit his teacher rather frequently. He had seen his teacher reading and researching all day long, but he was usually focused on strange and obscure subjects.

“Will grandmaster be okay?”

“The energy in the Sea Spirit Pearl, which was nurtured in the sea, isn’t infinite. If one doesn’t have sufficient strength to use it, the energy in the pearl would be swiftly depleted. Don’t worry.”

Crackle!

The noises of things being frozen grew even louder at this moment.

Si Wuya did not have time to continue explaining. He quickly shouted, “Everyone, retreat!”

No one questioned Si Wuya and instinctively obeyed him. All of them hurriedly retreated.

The east side of the palace wall that was several meters long and wide had been frozen into an ice wall. At the same time, ice continued to form above the wall.

This was the power of ‘fusion’.

Everyone flew past the Supreme Heaven Palace toward the Political Announcement Hall.

Some royal guards who were standing near the Supreme Heaven Palace had already turned into ice sculptures.

At this moment, Si Wuya grabbed Li Yunzheng and tossed the Peacock Plume out.

Li Yunzheng cried out in surprise, “Teacher, you have a desolate-grade weapon?”

“It’s not worth mentioning. It’s a gift from your grandmaster.”

The Peacock Plume turned into a pair of wings, carrying Si Wuya and Li Yunzheng past the crowd. In just a blink of an eye, the duo arrived at the Political Announcement Hall that was thousands of meters away.

The others were not weak as well, and they arrived one after another.

At this time, Li Yunzheng was looking at the wings on Si Wuya’s back in shock. He stuttered, “T-this… This…”

Si Wuya smiled. “Although my weapon isn’t as powerful as those of your Eldest Senior Uncle and Second Senior Uncle, I can rely on it to cross the Endless Ocean.”

An envious expression appeared on Li Yunzheng’s face as he looked at Si Wuya’s wings in awe.

Meanwhile, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong who had landed on either side of Si Wuya looked at Si Wuya’s wings and shook their heads slightly. They thought their Seventh Junior Brother really did not have it easy. The Peacock Plume was not powerful and could only transform into a pair of wings. When faced with powerful fierce beasts, how could it compare to their sword and saber?

…

In the sky.

Seemingly stimulated by the spinning black lotus, the Sea Spirit Pearl continued to release its power.

The area within a radius of 1,000 meters was frozen still.

Lu Zhou used a little of his supreme mystic power to shatter the ice that had formed around him. Nevertheless, icicles kept forming and shot toward him from all directions. After a moment, he shifted his attention to the spinning black lotus.

Yi Yao smiled smugly. He left afterimages in his wake as he flashed forward, holding an energy sword in his hand. Frozen projectiles shot toward Lu Zhou from all directions in just a blink of an eye.

“In this area, I’m no different from a supreme-ruler.”

Lu Zhou sensed the dangerous auras of the frozen projectiles heading his way. It was the first time he had felt this kind of danger. He confirmed that the unprecedented sense of danger he felt was brought by the glowing pearl in the center of the black lotus. His instincts told him that if he continued to be restrained in this area, things would be unfavorable. At that time, who knew if he would have to waste his Deadly Strike Card?

“Enough,” Lu Zhou said in a thunderous voice. He was about to get serious.

Following that, he silently recited the mantra from the Heavenly Writing.

To maintain and manifest samadhi. Like light and shadow, permeating everywhere while staying still in samadhi.

Lu Zhou unleashed all of Heavenly Writing Powers, using up half of his supreme mystic power. At the same time, a blue lotus bloomed under his feet.

The blue lotus rapidly released waves of supreme mystic power in all directions. Each of its leaves contained fatal and terrifying power.

“Huh?” Yi Yao, who had flashed to Lu Zhou’s side, thrust his deadly sword out. He had not time to think about this strange occurrence.

Bang!

The blue leaves broke Yi Yao’s energy sword and pressed down on him.

Bang!

His unbroken hand was broken by the domineering power from the blue lotus before it landed on his chest. He was sent flying immediately.

The supreme mystic power was too strong!

In just an instant, the black Thousand Realms Whirling avatar disappeared into Yi Yao’s body again. Before it disappeared, one could see that another one of his Birth Charts had dimmed.

A miserable cry echoed through the heavens and earth.

“Ding! Destroyed a Birth Chart. Reward: 6,000 points.”

Yi Yao was greatly shocked. His mind was filled with questions. Why is Lu Zhou so strong? When the blue lotus bloomed, he felt as though he was facing an expert with eight Birth Charts!

Lu Zhou was not done. The Heavenly Writing Power permeated the entire place. In just an instant, the frozen area within a radius of 1,000 meters was easily cleared by his wide-range technique.

“Fire control.”

The golden astrolabe began to spin before the third Birth Chart on the astrolabe shot out a beam of light that was shrouded in karmic fire.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four consecutive strikes in all four directions.

The karmic fire continued to burn, melting the frost in the area.

“A Birth Chart power with karmic fire?” As Yi Yao flew back, his eyes widened when he saw this shocking scene. Now that his other arm was broken as well, it suddenly dawned on him how powerful his opponent was. There was one thought left in his mind at this moment: Flee!

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou’s avatar had moved; the astrolabe was aimed at Yi Yao.

The feeling of being targeted caused Yi Yao to shudder. He momentarily forgot about the excruciating pain he felt as fear overtook him.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, “Even with your five Birth Charts, you can hardly withstand a strike from me. Now, you only have two Birth Charts. How can you defeat me?”

“It doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t make sense…” Yi Yao repeated these words over and over again.

“Although things have escalated to this stage, you still remain stubborn and insist on resisting. I’ll destroy all of your Birth Charts. Let’s see if you still dare to act arrogantly after this!”

Whoosh!

The combination of the karmic fire and the supreme mystic power perfectly countered the Sea Spirit Pearl.

At the same time, the golden astrolabe shot out four beams of light shrouded with karmic fire.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

All four shots accurately landed on Yi Yao’s chest.

“No!”

“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 6,000 merit points.”

Lu Zhou flashed directly above Yi Yao. He shook his head as he looked at the blood-drenched Yi Yao. “You have one Birth Chart left.”

Yi Yao was frightened! He was truly frightened at this moment! His eyes darted around, looking for ways to escape. All of a sudden, he began to say over and over again, “S-save me… Save me… Save me!”

Lu Zhou’s heart skipped a beat as he surveyed his surroundings. Was there someone else? However, he did not see anyone within 1,000 meters. There were only the cultivators watching from afar.

Yi Yao lost his composure completely. He said frantically, “You can’t kill me! You can’t kill me! I’m from the Black Tower Council! I have the support of the council! They will surely avenge me if you kill me! Let me go! Let me go!”

The blue lotus had completely shattered his last hope of victory.

“I want to see who can save you!” Lu Zhou said nonchalantly before he stomped on foot.

Buzz!

Yi Yao hurriedly manifested his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar. However, it was only 300 feet tall now.

Lu Zhou could sense Yi Yao was about to self-destruct. Blue light appeared around his feet immediately as he shot toward Yi Yao, not giving Yi Yao a chance to act.

Boom!

Lu Zhou stomped on the chest of the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar at lightning speed.

Yi Yao began to violently cough up blood at this moment. The Thousand Realms Whirling avatar shrank again and entered his body.

“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 6,000 merit points.”

Boom!

Yi Yao crashed against the crumbling palace wall, leaving a deep pit on it.

Lu Zhou gauged his supreme mystic power and discovered there was not much left. He was not bothered; there was no need to use the supreme mystic anymore for now.

…

The cultivators watched the battle in awe.

Those who were at the Political Announcement Hall, especially the civil and military officials, were dumbstruck.

…

Lu Zhou landed next to Yi Yao who was riddled with injuries.

Yi Yao’s eyes were bloodshot, and they shone with fear. He panted heavily as his breathing grew weaker and weaker. He had lost use of his arms and had depleted all his energy. How could his enemy who only had three Birth Charts remain unscathed?

He finally realized the real difference between their strengths. Despair rose in his heart, and he stopped resisting.

After staring at Yi Yao for a moment, Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “You’ve been beaten back to the Ten-leaf stage, and I didn’t even have to use my full strength.”

Yi Yao’s eyes widened before he struggled to say, “I… I a-admit defeat.”

These words seemed to agitate Yi Yao, causing blood to gush out of his mouth like a fountain.

“Nevertheless, you’ll die as well…” Yi Yao said as he used his broken shoulder point to the east of the capital before his head fell limply to the side.

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 8,000 merit points. Domain bonus: 2,000 points.”
