Jiang Dongshan lost his initiative immediately.
Following the word ‘freeze’, electric arc spread everywhere and to everyone, including the Dark Prince. Although he was a zombie king, he was still frozen by the Hourglass of time.
At this time, Lu Zhou had already arrived in front of Jiang Dongshan. His hand was like death itself as it moved toward Jiang Dongshan’s chest.
At this time, the Dark Prince, who managed to free himself first, flashed to Lu Zhou’s side. corrosive energy rolled out toward Lu Zhou immediately.
Lu Zhou silently recited the mantra for the Heavenly Writing Power. At the same time, he imbued his divine mark robe with his divine power. The corrosive energy was instantly repelled by the divine mark robe.
‘The Dark Prince roared as though he had lost his mind before he attacked Lu Zhou.
“Great Dao Saint? Zombie kings are really powerful.”
Boom!
Time began to flow again.
For Jiang Dongshan, he had only heard the word ‘freeze’ before his chest was heavily hit. He threw up blood immediately. His eyes widened as he looked at Lu Zhou who was covered in blue electric arcs. He tried his best to protect his life force as he crashed heavily to the ground. The chaotic Primal Qi in his
body wreaked havoc in his body, bringing with it excruciating pain.
At this moment, Jiang Dongshan felt that his mind was confused. Strange images appeared in his mind one after another. Each image was slightly similar to the blue electric arcs. An indescribable and complex feeling welled up in his heart immediately.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Jiang Dongshan hurriedly sealed his Eight Extraordinary Meridians. He watched as the Dark Prince’s limbs detached from his body and attacked Lu Zhou. At the same time, he treated his injuries as best as he could and tried to suppress the surging qi. At the same time, he alternated between calling ‘Dark
Prince’ and ‘Wang Hai’ over and over again.
‘The Dark Prince was completely dominated by Jiang Dongshan’s strong emotions. His attacks grew quicker and fiercer. Then, he managed to seal Lu Zhou in a space, making it impossible for Lu Zhou to attack him.
Jiang Dongshan shook his head, trying to get rid of the chaotic images in his mind before he said, “Kill.”
Once again, the black tornado appeared in the air.
At the same time, a tearing force appeared in front of the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion, preventing them from approaching so they could only watch from afar.
Lu Zhou’s divine mark robe was incredibly amazing. No matter how much corrosive energy the Dark Prince released, it could not get close to Lu Zhou at all. After a moment, he felt the pressure from the surrounding space. At this level, punches, kicks, and energy seals had lost their meanings. Only the laws
could determine the outcome.
Lu Zhou sensed the law of space. Then, he could feel a spatial tearing force that only Dao Saints could use. It felt like countless black tentacles were grabbing him from all directions, trying to drag him into the dark void.
“Avatar!”
‘As soon as Lu Zhou’s avatar appeared, Lu Zhou’s power exploded in all directions.
The corrosive energy retreated, but in just a moment, it swept toward Lu Zhou again.
‘Blue avatar!”
Buzz!
Boom!
‘The golden avatar, which seemed to have been boosted by the blue avatar, suddenly exploded with strength. It shattered the spatial prison, and the black tentacle recoiled immediately.
‘The Dark Prince’s eyes dimmed slightly as he was sent flying back the powers of the golden and blue avatars.
‘The two avatars appeared only for a moment, looking like powerful immortals who were looking down on all creations.
Jiang Dongshan inhaled sharply. His eyes looked as though they were going to pop out of their sockets as he said tremblingly, “T-the Unholy One!”
In Jiang Dongshan’s mind, the golden avatar that was like the sun and the divine mark robe that glowed blue with electric arcs flashing around it overlapped with the image of the emperor in his mind.
“Argh! Jiang Dongshan could no longer suppress his surging qi and blood. Coupled with his strong emotions and the violent beating of his heart, his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar appeared before it disappeared again.
“Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 1,000 merit points.”
Jiang Dongshan cried out in fear.
After the Dark Prince was sent flying, Lu Zhou landed on the ground. He stood with his hands on his back as he looked down at Jiang Dongshan expressionlessly.
“Dark Prince! Dark Prince!” Jiang Dongshan called out repeatedly. He began to panic even more when the Dark Prince did not appear. Losing a Birth Chart had dealt a huge enough blow to him.
Jiang Dongshan struggled to his feet and stomped his feet. Just as he was about to fly away, Yu Zhenghai and Bi An swooped down.
Boom!
Jiang Dongshan was pushed back to the ground and grunted in pain. His strong survival instinct pushed him to flash in another direction.
Yu Shangrong flashed, blocking Jiang Dongshan’s path. Thirteen golden leaves followed in the Longevity Sword as it circled him.
Before Jiang Dongshan turned around, Qin Naihe appeared and blocked his path as well.
Lu Zhou continued to watch Jiang Dongshan expressionlessly with his hands on his back.
Finally, Jiang Dongshan sat on the ground limply. He seemed to have calmed down slightly. “You already knew?”
In his mind, Jiang Dongshan kept telling himself it was impossible that the person in front of him was the Unholy One. He repeated it over and over again in his mind until he calmed down completely.
“Do you think your petty tricks can fool me?” Lu Zhou asked indifferently before he said, “I knew you were up to no good the first day I saw you.”
Jiang Dongshan asked skeptically, “Then, why didn’t you expose me?”
“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it and even dared to follow me to Zhixu’s Pillar of Destruction,” Lu Zhou said.
After all, how could there be such a coincidence in the world? If there was, it was definitely a lie.
“But I really came from the golden lotus domain,” Jiang Dongshan tried to explain.
“It’s true that you came from the golden lotus domain, but didn’t anyone tell you it’s impossible to assimilate once you entered the Thousand Realms Whirling stage?”
Jiang Dongshan: *…
Indeed, if it could be assimilated, then there should be only one color in the Great Void.
Jiang Dongshan wilted, unable to refute Lu Zhou’s words.
Lu Zhou said, “I only kept you around because I wanted to see what youre up to.”
“Aren’t you afraid I’d kill them? Their cultivation bases aren’t as high as mine,” Jiang Dongshan asked.
Boom!
Lu Wu landed at the side. It looked down at Jiang Dongshan and said in a low voice, “The Pavilion Master had already informed me to keep an eye on you, and if there are any unusual movements, I can eat you. I’ve been watching you over the past 100 years.”
Jiang Dongshan: *…
Lu Wu said disapprovingly, “The funny thing is, from the beginning until the end, you didn’t put me in your eyes.”
Indeed. Jiang Dongshan had been dismissive of Lu Wu. He felt ridiculous. Lu Wu was so huge and lying at the side all day, but he really ignored it.
At this moment, Duanmu Sheng interjected, “Lu Wu, why don’t I know about this?”
“Uh… Young Master, I had to keep it a secret,” Lu Wu said.
Duanmu Sheng held the Overlord Spear upside down before he stabbed into the ground and said, “Well, it’s not that I look down on him, but even if master doesn’t watch over us, I don’t think he can harm any of us.”
Whoosh!
Duanmu Sheng pointed the Overlord Spear at Jiang Dongshan and asked, “Are you unconvinced?”
As the saying went, ‘The winner takes all’. It was pointless to say anything. Jiang Dongshan only chuckled.
“What’s your purpose?” Lu Zhou asked.
Jiang Dongshan shook his head. “It’s useless to say anything now.”
“Speak!” Duanmu Sheng said angrily.
“Twas ordered to investigate the golden lotus domain, but later, I changed my mind and only wanted to control the Dark Prince for protection. It’s up to you to believe it or not,” Jiang Dongshan said.
“You only want to control the Dark Prince to protect yourself? You’re a Venerable Master, after all. I’m afraid it’s not that simple, right?” Yu Zhenghai said.
Jiang Dongshan’s eyes burned as he said through gritted teeth, “It’s because I want… a real body!”
Everyone was confused by these words.
“What do you mean?”
“You won’t understand even if I tell you,” Jiang Dongshan said. Then, he punched his fist fiercely on the ground and called out, “Dark Prince, come here!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jiang Dongshan punched the ground thrice.
No one knew where the Dark Prince was hiding, but he refused to show himself.
Jiang Dongshan sat down in despair as his body trembled. He said, “The Dark Prince coveted Emperor Shangzhang’s concubine and was dismembered by the emperor before he was buried under Zhixu’s Pillar of Destruction. Over time, his body was refined until it’s no weaker than a divine weapon. Only his
body can give me rebirth!”
Jiang Dongshan’s voice grew louder and louder toward the end.
“222”
‘Another madman!’
Lu Zhou frowned and said, “Emperor Shangzhang?”
Jiang Dongshan suddenly fell to the ground and joined his palms together as he said incoherently and fearfully, “I didn’t do it on purpose. I don’t dare to be disrespectful to the supreme being. I don’t dare! I don’t dare!”
‘It seems like he’s completely lost it!’
Yu Zhenghai asked, “You’re alive and well. Why do you still want to be reborn?”
Jiang Dongshan did not speak and refused to answer this question.
Lu Zhou recalled Ying Gou’s fear of the Unholy One and asked, “Is Emperor Shangzhang the legendary Unholy One?”
Jiang Dongshan shook his head.
“Who’s the Unholy One?”
“You can’t mention him! It’s a taboo! It’s a taboo!” Jiang Dongshan muttered.
Lu Zhou asked, “Who ordered you to approach the Evil Sky Pavilion?”
“T don’t know.” Jiang Dongshan shook his head.
Lu Zhou pressed his hand down.
Jiang Dongshan leaped up and tried to dodge, but Lu Zhou accurately caught him and said, “You better answer me honestly.”
Jiang Dongshan frowned as beads of sweat rolled down his face. He looked like he was in excruciating pain and could not say the name. At this time, fine jade-green cracks began to appear on his arms and face. Then, he cried out.
“What’s going on?” Yu Zhenghai asked.
Lu Zhou let go of his grip.
Jiang Dongshan floated in the air as he kept struggling and waving his hand around. His eyes were wide open, and his mouth closed and opened as though he was trying to speak, but his throat was blocked by some invisible force. Soon enough, the jade-green cracks spread all over his body.
Bang!
Jiang Dongshan shattered just like glass and turned into specks of light that disappeared in the air.
“A projection?” Lu Zhou frowned. He had fought Lan Xihe before and recognized the projection immediately.
“He’s a projection?” Yu Zhenghai tightened his grip around his Jasper Saber. “What kind of despicable person is he!”
Mingshi Yin stroked his chin and said, “This projection is interesting. He actually wanted to control the Dark Prince so he could have a real body. The red talisman and blood energy likely isn’t just a simple controlling technique but a parasitic technique as well.”
After meeting Lord Zhennan who turned into a tree, they no longer found anything strange.
This reminded Yu Zhenghai of his last clansman from the Wugi clan. He sighed as he said, “People are really strange. Why can’t they be themselves? No matter how good the disguise is, it’s always temporary.”
Pan Litian, who was standing on the Square Box, poked Leng Luo and said, “Old Leng, he’s talking about you.”
Leng Luo shed his usually cold expression and cursed in low voice, “Go to hell!”
Mingshi Yin asked curiously, “This projection technique is really profound. How is done? Does anyone know?”
Everyone shook their heads.
Ye Tianxin stood on top of Cheng Huang’s head and said, “Lan Xihe used her projection to guard the White Tower Council for many years. There was a mistake when she activated her 13th Birth Chart. Based on this, it can be seen that projections aren’t connected to the consciousness of the original body.”
“In Lan Xihe’s case, it’s possible that she deliberately removed the connection to her consciousness. However, Jiang Dongshan clearly approached us with a purpose.”
Lu Zhou paced back and forth as he said, “The consciousness shouldn’t be connected. Otherwise, they can just control their projections and send them out to maintain the balance. The projection should have its own will to a certain extent. If Im not mistaken, the original must be protecting his mind from
the influence of his projection.”
Qin Naihe nodded. “Pavilion Master has a point. Otherwise, if there are too many consciousnesses, it’s very easy to form a proverbial demon in one’s heart. There are rules. Those who don’t abide by the rules will suffer a powerful backlash…”
Everyone nodded.
“Master, I’m afraid the land splitting earlier might attract the attention of the people from the Great Void. Let’s enter the pillar as soon as possible, shall we?” Mingshi Yin asked.
“Alright,” Lu Zhou said before he led everyone to Zhixu’s Pillar of Destruction.
Ina hall in the Great Void.
Jiang Wenxu, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. He extended his left hand, and a life stone flew into his hand. The life stone had dimmed and cracks had begun to form on it. With just a gentle grip, it shattered.
“Dead?”
Jiang Wenxu rose to his feet before he paced back and forth with a frown on his face.
After thinking for along time, he still could not figure out what happened.
“Trash! He couldn’t even retain his memories!” Jiang Wenxu cursed. Then, he hurriedly spat when he realized he had accidentally cursed himself.
Inside Zhixu’s Pillar of Destruction.
Everyone was in a daze as they looked at Conch standing in the barrier.
Zhu Honggong was the first to clap and say, “What are all of you waiting for? Hurry up and give my junior sister a round of applause!”
With that, everyone regained their senses.
“Congratulations, Miss Tenth.”
“Congratulations, junior sister.”
Conch did not expect she would be recognized by Zhixu’s Pillar of Destruction as well.
At this time, Yan Zhenluo asked, “If each of the ten Pillars of Destruction represents a quality, then what does Zhixu’s pillar represent?”
Qin Naihe thought about it for a moment before he said, “This is the land of fierce beasts. Conch is gifted with the beast tongue. Perhaps, that’s why. It might also be due to her naivety?”
“Nonsense! The naive one is Ninth Junior Sister.” Zhu Honggong quickly refuted Qin Naihe’s words.
Lu Li smiled and said, “Perhaps, it’s because she’s understanding?”
“Understanding?”
Boom!
A thunderous rang from outside followed Lu Wu’s angry and earth-shaking roar. “Scram!”
“Understanding or not, all I know is we have to go now!” Mingshi Yin flew out on Qiong Qi’s back.
Lu Zhou appeared outside in a flash.
‘When they looked up, they saw the silver-armored guards.
An armored black winged dragon flapped its wings, looking down at the Pillar of Destruction.
They had finally come..
