Chapter 1426: The High Priests Formation

The high priests long robe shone with a faint green light. After he pulled the group of Void Chest tribesmen up, he threw them to the side.

After the strands of light dissipated, the group of Void Chest tribesmen hovered in the air as the holes in their chests began to s.h.i.+ne brightly.

Lu Wu naturally would not give them a chance to attack. It opened its mouth and exhaled a wave of white mist.

Creak.

Ice Seal!

As the chilling frost energy swept out, it froze all the Void Chest tribesmen in the air and on the ground, turning them into ice sculptures.

Surprisingly, not only was the high priest not afraid, but he scoffed before he flipped backward. A mere beast emperor dares to be so arrogant?

Where did he get the courage to look down on a beast emperor? Yan Zhenluo was speechless.

Dont look down on the opponent. Clearly, hes aware of Lu Wu from before. Lu Wu, be careful! Duanmu Sheng cried out.

Roar!

Lu Wu stomped his front legs, shattering the ice sculptures.

Alas, Lu Zhou did not receive any merit points. After becoming a Great Venerable Master, it was getting harder and harder to obtain merit points. He could no longer obtain points from low-level targets.

Lu Wus Ice Seal got rid of thousands of Void Chest tribesmen.

At this time, the high priest thrust his scepter up into the air. Following that, a ray of light rippled out. In just a moment, it had expanded about 10,000 feet away.

Cries and shouts rang out from the mountain, shaking the sky and land. Subsequently, countless Void Chest tribesmen rushed out of the mountain and forest as though they had disregarded their lives. At the same time, the Void Chest tribesmen in the air began to fall into position, sealing off all exits in the air.

Heavens! There are so many of them?! Zhu Honggong exclaimed.

With so many of them, most people would have been frightened.

At this time, the high priest asked in a deep voice that traveled to the distance, Do you know why I want to kill you?

Why? Lu Zhou asked.

My family, the Void Chest tribe, stayed within the range of our Pillar of Impermanence for more than 1,000 years. My people sacrificed their lives to let the pillar grow. However, you took it away, the high priest said.

Lu Zhou said disapprovingly, When did the Pillar of Impermanence belong to your tribe? Its your business if you want to sacrifice your life to the pillar. Since Im capable of taking it away, its mine.

You have a point. Nevertheless, the flames of fury in my heart burn high. This kind of flames can only be extinguished with your death, the high priest said.

Lu Zhou shook his head and called out, Lu Wu.

Although there were many Void Chest tribesmen, there was still no need for Lu Zhou to make a move.

Boom!

Lu Wu leaped into the air as its tails swept across the Void Chest tribesmen.

The high priest did not seem to care at all as he watched his tribesmen being killed by Lu Wu.

When Lu Zhou looked down, he felt chills running up his spine. Those Void Chest tribesmen who had fallen would split open when they touched the ground, forming many smaller Void Chest tribesmen.

d.a.m.n! Theyre really strange! Master! Mings.h.i.+ Yin, who was just about to seize the chance to show his skills, suddenly changed direction and appeared behind Lu Zhou.

The high priest cursed them. What a vicious curse, Kong Wen said.

Meng Changdong, who was standing at the back, said, Mr. Seventh and I have come across this kind of curse before. Its indeed a vicious curse. We cant kill them like this. Their number will only increase.

Lu Wu, stop.

Lu Wu leaped back behind the crowd and sat on its haunches immediately.

At this moment, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, one on the left and one on the right, attacked the Void Chest tribesmen.

The high priest continued to watch indifferently.

The more they killed, the more the number of the Void Chest tribesmen multiplied.

This is too f*cking disgusting! Mings.h.i.+ Yin cursed.

Mr. Fourth is right! Its really too disgusting, Pan Zhong chimed in.

At this moment, high up in the sky, Hua Yuexing drew the bowstring back. In just a few breaths, she released hundreds of arrows that pierced the spot under the Void Chest tribesmens armpits accurately.

Great Dark Heaven Memorial!

The Jasper Saber spun along with a huge energy saber like a windmill, crus.h.i.+ng the Void Chest tribesmen.

When Yu Zhenghai saw the smaller Void Chest tribesmen, he frowned. How troublesome.

Interesting, Yu Shangrong said tonelessly.

Needless to say, the duo did not need Lu Zhou to stop them. Their judgments were accurate. They put away their sword and saber before flying back to join the others.

Pan Zhong turned around and asked, Isnt there a way to deal with this curse?

Meng Changdong shook his head and said, No. We only have a shallow understanding of the curse.

The number of Void Chest tribesmen began to grow as they advanced.

At this time, the high priest said again, Ignorant and ugly humans! What curse? This is a holy technique of my tribe! Its a blessing!

A blessing? Your bodies break open and you multiply. You can still call this a blessing? Mings.h.i.+ Yin said.

Theres no pain and no death, only strength. Hows this not a blessing? the high priest said in return.

Oh, then the big ones are the fathers; when they split into smaller ones, theyre the children. Come, tell me, where are their mothers? Mings.h.i.+ Yin said mockingly. Then, without waiting for a reply, he continued to say provocatively, Wait, dont tell me that Void Chest tribesmen dont have parents. After all, this is how you procreate! How disgusting. Do you have ancestors? If you do, wont you feel ashamed to face them when you die for treating a curse as a blessing? If you dont, then youre truly pitiful. Youre even worse than animals!

The high priest was enraged by Mings.h.i.+ Yins words. He waved his scepter and said, Ill skin you alive!

Buzz!

The scepter thrummed as strands of light connected the Void Chest tribesmen. Following that, the sky full of Void Chest tribesmen pounced forward without any regard for their lives.

Retreat, Lu Zhou said.

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong stayed at the sides, using energy seals to keep the Void Chest tribesmen away. However, they had no choice but to kill a few of them with their sword and saber. At least, they could use the time while the Void Chest tribesmen were multiplying to retreat.

Lu Zhou pushed his hand out.

Boom!

A mountain-like palm seal fell, knocking a great number of Void Chest tribesmen away. Alas, as soon as they touched the ground, they would split and form new Void Chest tribesmen.

Lu Zhou frowned, wondering how he should deal with them.

The high priest said frostily, Youll die at the foot of the Pillar of Destruction in Ji Ming today! Kill them!

Under the control of the high priest, the Void Chest tribesmen charged forward mindlessly.

What to do? What to do? Master? Zhu Honggong panicked.

Calm down, Mings.h.i.+ Yin said as he rode on Qiong Qis and flew to Zhu Honggongs side, Have you forgotten masters words to you? You lack confidence, and youre too timid!

Zhu Honggong said with a sad face, Im not timid. When we were going to the red lotus domain for the first time, I bravely leaped out of the Sky Shuttle to buy everyone time! However, this this is too scary!

Mings.h.i.+ Yin said, Coward.

Fourth Senior Brother, why arent you afraid? Do you have some tricks up your sleeve? Zhu Honggong asked in a low voice.

Tricks? Mings.h.i.+ Yin looked at Zhu Honggong with an inexplicable gaze.

At this moment, a big Void Chest tribesman whose body was blood-red broke through the energy seals and pounced at them.

Mings.h.i.+ Yins eyes widened. Dodge!

Swoos.h.!.+

Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Qiong Qi were like a shooting star as they shot into the forest, leaving the others behind.

Everyone:

They felt speechless.

Among the group, the person who was working the hardest was Qin Naihe. He was close to becoming a Venerable Master, after all. His energy seals kept the Void Chest tribesmen away, protecting everyone. However, as time pa.s.sed, the enemies frenzied attacks did not stop at all, causing him to feel pressured.

Pavilion Master!

Lu Zhou turned to look at Qin Naihe who was being pressured. With a tap of his feet, he flew out. Since he could not kill the Void Chest tribesmen, he would capture their leader.

Swoos.h.!.+

You dare to behave atrociously in front of me?

Everyone held their breaths as Lu Zhou flew out. They looked forward to seeing how Lu Zhou would solve this problem.

The high priest swung his scepter, and over 1,000 Void Chest tribesmen stood in front of him to s.h.i.+eld him.

Lu Zhou pushed his hand out as he flew horizontally.

Boom!

With the force that could split the sky and the land, Lu Zhou breached the line of Void Chest tribesmen and continued to fly toward the high priest.

The high priest said in a deep voice, I have long expected this. You humans are inferior to us! Poor wretches, prepare to die!

Then, the high priest roared as he spread his arms.

Buzz!

Nearly 10,0000 Void Chest tribesmen on the ground formed an eight trigrams formation. Their chests were pointed up at Lu Zhou. Following that, beams of light shot out from the holes in their chests toward Lu Zhou.

A lotus bloomed under Lu Zhous feet. The bottom of the lotus easily blocked the beams of light.

As it turns out, youre a Venerable Master. No wonder you dare to behave arrogantly in the Unknown Land, the high priest said as he flew back 1,000 meters at high speed.

Void Chest tribesmen on both sides leaped into the air, trying to stop Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou had to slow down due to the obstruction.

Flaming Golden Lotus.

Flaming golden lotuses shot out of the golden lotus under Lu Zhous feet and swept out in all directions like a tornado. In just a moment, the area within 1,000 meters was turned into a sea of fire.

When did master become so strong? Zhu Honggong gulped.

Master has always been strong. Eighth Senior Brother, did you knock your head while you were in the yellow lotus domain? Little Yuaner asked.

The sea of fire kept burning the Void Chest tribesmen even as they multiplied. This kept repeating until the Void Chest tribesmen were only the size of a fist. Not long after that, miserable cries began to ring in the air.

Its effective! The karmic flames work! Meng Chandong exclaimed excitedly as he pointed at the charred miniature Void Chest tribesmen who had stopped multiplying. When he calmed down slightly, he said, As expected of the karmic fire! Itd be great if I understood Dao inscriptions. Mr. Seventh said that curses are a kind of Dao inscriptions as well, and there are always ways to break curses.

Lu Li nodded and said, Mr. Seventh was truly knowledgeable. In a way, this curse is somewhat like our Birth Charts. They have to be killed many times before they finally die. Everyone, pay attention. They can multiply five or six times at most before they die. The bigger ones likely can multiply more times, but theres a limit!

With this, hope bloomed in everyones hearts.

Yu Zhenghai stomped on the ground and rushed forward, bursting forth with golden karmic fire.

Yu Shangrong also burst forth with the karmic fire.

Since most of the disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion had the karmic fire, it did not take long for the entire eastern side of the Pillar of Destruction to turn into a sea of fire.

Lu Wu continued sitting on its haunches. Since it could not spit fire, it could not help.

Duanmu Sheng stood at the side and watched as well.

Lu Zhou turned around and saw that his disciples were slowly turning the tide after being enlightened with his Flaming Golden Lotus. Feeling relieved, he continued flying toward the high priest.

The high priest continued to fly backward. He was not afraid nor was he sad that his tribesmen were being burned to death. On the contrary, his eyes were bright, and he looked strangely excited. Then, he began to laugh as he looked at the sea of fire, looking as though he had lost his mind.

Lu Zhou frowned. Freeze!

The Hourgla.s.s of Time shot out.

Blue electric arcs swept out, covering an area of 1,000 meters.

Everything fell silent.

In just a blink of an eye, Lu Zhou appeared in front of the high priest. His hand was like a divine mountain as he pushed it out.

Time resumed and

Boom!

The high priests eyes widened in shock and anger as he cried out, Impossible!

Then, the high priest spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Zhous protective energy prevented the blood from splas.h.i.+ng on him.

The high priest continued to fly back. His eyes were filled with shock.

Lu Zhou brought the Hourgla.s.s of Time back and turned around to survey the situation. The tide had turned in their favor now.

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrongs karmic fire burned the Void Chest tribesmen, forcing them to retreat.

At this moment, the high priest gripped the scepter in his hand tightly. Blood spurted out from the hole in his chest; the droplets of blood like scarlet b.u.t.terflies in the air. They circled the scepter before flying down.

Subsequently, the high priest tossed the scepter down.

Bang!

The scepter pierced into the ground.

From the very beginning, Lu Zhou had already felt the Void Chest tribe was very strange. They were able to survive in the Unknown Land for so long, and they seemed to be growing stronger as well. Clearly, they were not without means.

Lu Zhou brought out the Pillar of Impermanence.

The Pillar of Impermanence buzzed loudly.

You want the Pillar of Impermanence?

The high priests face twisted into a ferocious expression as he roared, Hand over the Pillar of Impermanence!

Lu Zhou said tonelessly, Thatll have to depend if you have the ability to s.n.a.t.c.h it back.

Then, Lu Zhou pressed the Pillar of Impermanence into the ground. It began to expand and spin immediately. Vitality energy and life force began to converge toward it as it absorbed them.

The high priests face paled as he shouted, Get into formation!

Boom!

The blood b.u.t.terflies that were churning like a vortex next to the scepter suddenly flew toward the Void Chest tribesmen, leaving red lines on their bodies.

At the same time, a large number of Void Chest tribesmen rushed in from the distance. Their number was astonis.h.i.+ng.

With this, the red lines on their bodies began to connect with each other..
