Chapter 1272: Only I Can Kill Her
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Lu Wu stomped on the ground and leaped over toward Tuoba Sicheng, the earth trembled in its wake.
At this time, the cultivators finally recalled that there was still the beast emperor Lu Wu whose strength was comparable to a Venerable Master. Their eyes widened in shock as they watched Lu Wu sail through the air. They held their breaths and their hearts raced as chills ran up their spines.
Tuoba Sicheng gripped the Divine Soul Pearl before it burst forth with power.
Lu Wu’s freezing energy and the Divine Soul Pearl’s power collided fiercely.
Boom!
The shockwave from the collision swept out into the surroundings.
Lu Zhou mobilized the divine power and retreated. Then, he recited the mantra for the Heavenly Writing before he shouted, “Pillar of Impermanence!”
…
Dozens of miles away, near the ancient tree that was Lord Zhennan, the ground began to shake before the Pillar of Impermanence shot out of the ground and flew toward Lu Zhou at lightning speed.
With that, the pillar’s suppression on Lord Zhennan was gone. Sensing this, he made a shocking move.
The vines and branches began to move in a frenzy before they lifted Lord Zhennan and his roots out of the ground.
Boom!
Just like that, Lord Zhennan broke free and regained his mobility. He did not waste time and shot toward the Pillar of Destruction.
…
At the same time, Lu Wu’s freezing energy and the Divine Soul Pearl’s power were still struggling for dominance.
Lu Wu had taken special care not to affect the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion with his energy, but the explosive power of the Divine Soul Pearl sent them flying, forcing them to retreat.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin was standing closest to the point of collision. Strangely, when the power of the Divine Soul Pearl swept over him, he was completely unaffected; only faint ripples could be seen. He only felt cold from Lu Wu’s freezing energy.
On the contrary, Tuoba Sicheng’s disciples were not as lucky.
“Ding! Destroyed a Birth Chart. Reward: 3,500 merit points.”
Lu Zhou received this notification 25 times consecutively.
With just a strike using its Ice Seal ability, Lu Wu destroyed one Birth Chart from each of the 25 people!
Swoos.h.!.+
While Lu Zhou sensed the power around him that felt as though it could destroy the world, the Pillar of Impermanence returned to his hand. Then, he imbued the Pillar of Impermanence with all the divine power he had left in him.
Boom!
The Pillar of Impermanence that had grown to be as large as the Pillar of Destruction flew out and landed near Lu Wu and Tuoba Sicheng. The pillar helped suppress some of the power from the Divine Soul Pearl, lessening the pressure on Lu Wu.
Lu Zhou did not waste time and brought out Unnamed in the form of a s.h.i.+eld. Then, he manifested his Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar.
When Lu Zhou’s Hundred Tribulation Insight avatar appeared, all the divine power in its body was channelled into Unnamed.
Bang!
Unnamed flashed with a golden light and blocked the shockwave. Even then, Lu Zhou was pushed backward.
When the shockwave finally died down, Tuoba Sicheng pushed his hand out repeatedly, releasing energy seals to break the ice that encased his disciples. If he did not save them, it would not be as simple as losing a Birth Chart each.
At this time, Lu Zhou put away the Pillar of Impermanence and his Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar. He nodded in satisfaction; at the very least, this move had saved Lu Wu.
“Whitzard.”
Whitzard flew over at lightning speed. Its body was shrouded with auspicious Qi.
Tuoba Sicheng, who was hovering in the air, frowned. “Whitzard?”
Whitzard’s auspicious Qi shrouded Lu Zhou, swiftly replenis.h.i.+ng his divine power.
Then, Whitzard spun around and spat out a streak of white light at Lu Wu.
The streak of white light was like the blazing sun as it flew toward Lu Wu.
Only a few breaths had pa.s.sed from the moment Tuoba Sicheng made his move to the moment Whitzard spat out the streak of white light.
When the white light hit Lu Wu, it expanded and shrouded the huge Lu Wu instantly. When it finally faded, Lu Wu’s bleeding wounds had vanished. Even the more serious wounds caused by the Divine Soul Pearl had vanished.
With this, Whitzard let out a long cry.
Despite its arrogance, Lu Wu lowered its head slightly and said in a very low voice, “Thank you.”
Then, Whitzard turned around and flew away.
Although Lu Wu sounded calm when it thanked Whitzard, based on its burning eyes and bared fangs, it was clear that it was furious. It quickly got into an offensive stance, ready to attack again.
At this moment, Lu Zhou called out, “Lu Wu, don’t be rash.”
Lu Zhou had used all its strength to save and heal Lu Wu earlier. He naturally did not want it to get injured again.
“Please trust me,” Lu Wu said against Lu Zhou’s expectations.
Seeing Lu Wu’s determination, Lu Zhou decided not to stop it. Then, he quickly synthesized an enhanced Thunderblast Card. At this time, he did bother calculating his merit points or weighing his gains and losses.
At this time, Tuoba Sicheng tightened his grip around the Divine Soul Pearl as he looked at Lu Wu with a burning gaze.
Boom!
Lu Wu leaped up. At the same time, its nine tails unfurled like a fan and its eyes shone like the sun and the moon.
Tuoba Sicheng leaped away with the Divine Soul Pearl in hand.
‘Hmm?’ Tuoba Sicheng frowned. ‘The Divine Soul Pearl’s power has been depleted?’
Tuoba Sicheng hurriedly changed strategy and brought out his 20 Birth Chart astrolabe.
At the same time, Lu Wu exhaled his freezing energy again.
“Lu Wu is too terrifying!” Zhao Yu s.h.i.+vered.
The little Fire Phoenix perched on Little Yuan’er’s shoulder was so frightened that it hid at the back of her head.
Little Yuan’er said rea.s.suringly, “Don’t be afraid.”
Duanmu Sheng frowned. “I’ve never seen Lu Wu so furious before.”
“This is probably Lu Wu’s strongest attack,” Kong Wen said with a hint of awe, “Although we know it’s powerful, I still feel we’ve underestimated its strength…”
Lu Wu’s nine tails moved in the air, stirring up the wind and clouds.
The freezing energy swept out and froze everything again. The cold seemed even more biting than before.
“Karmic fire!”
Yu Zhenghai, Little Yuan’er, Conch, and those who possessed the karmic fire quickly manifested the karmic fire. Then, they lit a circle of fire around the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Outside of the circle of fire was a vast expanse of whiteness. In just a blink of an eye, the entire place was transformed into a land of ice.
“Oh, no! We forgot Fourth Senior Brother!”
Everyone looked at the bank of the lake and found Mings.h.i.+ Yin had turned into an ice sculpture.
“…”
At this time, Lu Wu roared thunderously, casting its sound technique.
The soundwave swept out causing the earth, trees, and pillars to shake.
“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 3,500 merit points.”
Similar to before, Lu Zhou received the same notification 25 times consecutively.
Lu Wu leaped again and landed on the astrolabe that had been frozen white before leaping away. It was very satisfied with its masterpiece.
Crack!
At this time, the ice that encased Tuoba Sicheng’s astrolabe cracked and ice shards fell to the ground.
“I want all of you to die today!” Tuoba Sicheng slapped his astrolabe with all his might, sending it up into the sky.
The astrolabe expanded and covered the sky before mobilizing the power of the 20 Birth Charts. Pillars of light rained down from the sky immediately.
Upon seeing this, Lu Wu spun around and jumped above the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion, s.h.i.+elding them from Tuoba Sicheng’s attack.
“Fourth Senior Brother!” Little Yuan’er cried out. She flew forward and tossed the Nirvana Sash out. The Nirvana Sash wrapped around Mings.h.i.+ Yin and pulled him to safety under Lu Wu.
Everyone looked up and saw Lu Zhou standing in the sky and holding the golden Unnamed in the form of a s.h.i.+eld.
“I’ll make an example out of you today.”
Lu Zhou was about to use the enhanced Thunderblast Card when a commotion rang in the air.
In the sky, a flaming ancient tree that looked like a strange spider due to its roots and vines leaped over and landed on Tuoba Sicheng’s astrolabe.
Lord Zhennan roared, “If you kill Tian Wu, I’ll kill you! Only I alone can kill my enemy!”
The tree roots wrapped around the astrolabe and tightened their grips on it.
Creak!
The astrolabe gave slightly.
“Lord Zhennan!”
When Lord Zhennan saw the Divine Soul Pearl in Tuoba Sicheng’s hand, he grew even more furious.
“You think you can kill me? You overestimate yourself!” Tuoba Sicheng roared.
Swoos.h.!.+
Tuoba Sicheng’s astrolabe shrank rapidly.
Lord Zhennan who had lived a long life naturally was very experienced. He said coldly, “You’re still wet behind the ears. How dare you play tricks in front of me? Die!”
The roots exploded with energy, sending flames flying in the sky.
Bang!
The astrolabe that was still shrinking was. .h.i.t by the explosive power and cracked immediately.
Tuoba Sicheng’s eyes widened in fear as he spat out blood. With this, he had lost a Birth Chart!
A Thousand Realms Whirling avatar suddenly appeared before it shrank into Tuoba Sicheng’s body.
