Who would believe that the Court Master of the Sky Martial Court, the cultivation genius whom many people looked up to, would beg for death at this moment? However, this was only normal and could not be blamed on Yu Chenshu. No one would want to live, having to experience such excruciating pain.
Yu Chenshu really could not endure it any longer. The death of the puppet had completely destroyed his last line of psychological defense. For many years, the puppet had been his trump card. Even a revered and legendary figure like Ye Zhen had to show some modicum of respect to him. Losing the puppet was worse than taking his life. He thought it was better to beg for death instead of struggling in futility.
At this moment, Yu Chenshu seemed clear-minded again. He lifted his head suddenly and opened his eyes with great difficulty before he looked at Lu Zhou and pleaded again, “I beg you. Kill me.”
Yu Chenshu was currently firmly held in Lu Zhou’s hand. It was impossible for him to break free. He wished he could struggle free and fall into the lava so he could die. Alas, the current him was so weak. He was so weak that it was difficult just to breathe.
Lu Zhou did not pay any attention to Yu Chenshu at all. His attention was all focused on the ferocious beast.
After the ferocious had leaped out of the lava, its entire body was now bathed in flames. It was a rather amazing sight to behold.
Lu Zhou moved back and forth at top speed, launching palm seals from time to time to repel the beast.
Upon seeing this, Yu Chenshu realized there were all kinds of wonders in this vast world. He realized now how ignorant he had been and how weak he was. He once thought he was invincible. What a joke. He was only deceiving himself and other people. Moreover, even if he still had the puppet, he was not confident he could kill this huge beast.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou frowned. He was trying to find the beast’s weakness. He had used the power of Yu Chenshu’s black runes to blast open the crack to the abyss in the valley. However, he did not expect that there was lava flowing underneath the valley. If it were not for his unlimited Primal Qi, the scorching temperature alone was enough to make it difficult to continue any further.
The ferocious beast’s attacks grew more and more frenzied.
Lu Zhou was insignificantly small compared to the beast. However, his speed was so fast that he always avoided the beast.
‘This beast is really quite strong.’ After such a long time, should it not feel exhausted?
Lu Zhou looked at Unnamed at this moment. Then, in just a blink of an eye, he retreated hundreds of meters back, widening the gap between him and the beast.
Subsequently, dozens of energy swords appeared in front of Lu Zhou.
At this time, the beast leaped up again.
Under the dim light of the lava, Lu Zhou manipulated the energy swords and sent them toward the beast’s chest.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The energy swords shot out like a flurry of hurricanes at the ferocious beast. Its leaping momentum was forcefully stopped by the energy swords.
Meanwhile, Unnamed was currently surrounded by tens of thousands of energy swords. Black runes revolved around it at the same time. Similar to the attack before, they were sent toward the beast’s chest.
Bang!
Perhaps, the beast could have repelled the energy swords. However, it stood no chance against Unnamed.
At this moment, the sound of flesh tearing resounded in the air.
The ferocious beast roared and twisted its body wildly in the air. Unnamed had finally left a hole on its chest!
Lu Zhou flashed twice in the air and looked down at the ferocious beast as he said, “You’re much stronger than Yu Chenshu. You actually managed to partly block Unnamed.”
Yu Chenshu. “…”
Blood began to drip out of the ferocious beast’s wound. Its size was so big that the droplets of blood were the size of an adult’s fist. However, before they landed on the ground, they evaporated from the heat.
Lu Zhou checked the time again. He had less than eight minutes left. He had to end things quickly. He could choose to leave or waste time here and look for the beast’s weakness… Or he could use a Deadly Strike Card. However, since he had used a Peak Trial Card, he did not think it was worth it to use a Deadly Strike Card.
At this moment, the ferocious beast pounced again. It seemed even more frenzied than before. Its eyes seemed to burn with flames and its roar resounded in the entire place.
Lu Zhou did not waste time and quickly pushed his hand out.
Dozens of Great Vajra Wheel Hand Signs burning with the karmic fire landed on the ferocious beast.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Avatar!”
The 200-foot golden lotus avatar hovered majestically above the lava.
“Golden Buddha’s Body!”
Lu Zhou discovered that due to the huge size of his avatar, it might be affected by the heat. Therefore, he activated the Golden Buddha’s Body to keep the heat at bay.
Yu Chenshu chuckled self-deprecatingly before a sad smile appeared on his face. How was this normal? The following scene was definitely the craziest and most unbelievable scene he had ever seen in his life.
There was suddenly an endless storm of grand techniques, energy swords, palm seals, energy sabers, and energy fists. They surged violently like the tempestuous ocean.
Time was golden, after all. Since Lu Zhou did not have time to find the beast’s weakness, he would try to kill the beast by throwing all his techniques at it.
Meanwhile, Yu Chenshu’s vision and hearing began to fail. He could no longer see clearly or hear anything.
In fact, the ferocious beast did not expect such a tiny human could suddenly erupt with such explosive strength.
Finally, under the onslaught of the overwhelming and ruthless assault, the ferocious beast was pushed into the lava again. When the last palm strike slammed down, the energy in the air suddenly disappeared, and everything was unnaturally still.
The only obvious movements at this moment were the flowing and some bubbling of the lava. However, the bubbling did not seem like it was because of the high temperature.
“It’s bubbling? It’s still alive?” Lu Zhou was pressed for time. If the ferocious still did not die, he had no other choice but to use the Deadly Strike Card.
At this moment, the lava suddenly began to roil and surge.
‘No!’ Lu Zhou made several hand seals and moved at top speed as he flew toward the crack above the lava with Yu Chenshu in tow.
The lava continued to surge and bubble in anger.
Lu Zhou felt something was amiss so he turned back to have a look.
The lava was surging like a rising tide.
Lu Zhou wondered if this was an ability of the ferocious beast or if the beast had grown in size.
Lu Zhou looked at the remaining time he had again from the Peak Trial Card. It was not a problem for him to escape from this place within five minutes. However, if he left now, he would be giving up on this Birth Chart Beast’s life heart! He felt a little regretful at this moment. If he had known earlier this would happen, he would not have wasted so much time and immediately attacked it with all his might before taking its life heart away!
Lu Zhou looked at the remaining time of the Pinnacle Card. Five minutes was not a problem for him to escape this place. But this meant that he had to give up on this life matrix beast!
As Lu Zhou moved up, the lava suddenly rose all the way up.
The ground above shook, and the destroyed the Sky Wheel Mountain Range was further damaged.
At this moment, Lu Zhou suddenly sensed a unique energy rising from the ground beneath him. He instantly knew it was not from the ferocious beast but something even more powerful?
Could it be nature itself? A volcano eruption? An earthquake? However, it did not seem like it.
Whoosh!
A strong suction force pulled on Lu Zhou, along with Yu Chenshu.
Previously, the lava was just like a stream, but at this time, it had turned into an ocean of lava!
“I’ve overdone it…” Lu Zhou used all the defensive techniques he had in his arsenal to keep the tide of lava at bay.
Whoosh!
The lava continued to rise until it escaped from the entrance.
Lu Zhou felt a sense of unprecedented danger at this moment from below, very far below the ground. The energy was nothing like anything he had known or could even imagine. The energy rose and attacked.
A strange sense of danger came from below, far beyond the lava and far beyond the known power. It permeated and attacked.
At this moment, Lu Zhou was truly shocked when he saw the series of notifications.
“Critical Block Card -1”
“Critical Block Card -1”
“Critical Block Card -1”
“Critical Block Card -1”
The Golden Buddha’s Body and the defensive techniques were useless?
Was it a kind of corrosive energy?
“…”
“I better go.” Lu Zhou no longer thought about the huge beast. If he continued to stay, he would definitely die! He did not even have time to look at Yu Chenshu; he only kept moving at top speed.
Lu Zhou was just about to leave through the entrance when…
Splash!
Lu Zhou’s heart sank immediately. The terrifying energy was about to hit him.
At this moment, the sound of something breaking the surface of the lava rang in the air.
Lu Zhou saw a huge black palm reaching out from the lava before it carried Lu Zhou and his avatar, repelling the corrosive energy. Then, the black palm shone with dark light on Yu Chenshu, protecting Yu Chenshu from the corrosive energy as well!
‘Black lotus?! The black lotus came to save me?!’
Boom!
Lu Zhou and Yu Chenshu were in the black palm as it broke through the entrance, bringing them above ground. Then, he instinctively lifted his head when he felt a shadow falling on him.
He saw an avatar with an indescribable height. It was completely black and glowing at the same time!
Meanwhile, ten black lotus leaves revolved around the gargantuan black lotus at the bottom. In the middle of the black lotus, a few spots of light could be seen.
Lu Zhou was rather speechless. ‘So… it still can shine even though it’s completely black…’
Black mist suddenly rose from the black lotus avatar that was standing on the lotus at this moment. Then, its body seemed to glow with a faint blue light.
Lu Zhou took a closer look at the black lotus avatar and discovered there was a black crown on its head. There were ten points on the crown that looked like miniature lotus leaves. Apart from that, there was a glowing lotus imprinted on the avatar’s forehead. At the back of the avatar was a floating astrolabe.
‘This… Is this the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar?’
As Lu Zhou looked further up, he saw a man dressed in a scholarly robe sitting cross-legged above the black lotus avatar. The man was very handsome.
The man did not move except to raise his head before he said, “Hold on tight!”
Boom!
The Thousand Realms Whirling avatar cleaved the already damaged Sky Wheel Mountain Range in two. The mountain range had been pretty much destroyed earlier, but now, it was truly and utterly destroyed!
He could finally see the sky!
The light is back!
