Lu Zhou looked at Duanmu Dian, puzzled. “Scheme against you?”
Duanmu Dian said a little angrily, “How dare you go against the Great Void? No wonder they told me to be careful and even sent more people out to protect the Pillars of Destruction! No, no, no, you have to follow me back to see the Hall Master today. This way, you have a chance of saving your life!”
In Duanmn Dian’s eyes, the Great Void was like an elephant, and the nine domains were like ants. In the past, when they were both invited to the Great Void, they had a bright future ahead of them. However, Lu Tiantong was rebellious and unruly so things were not easy for him.
Lu Zhou frowned as he looked at Duanmu Dian. “You’re really as loyal as a dog.”
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Dian said angrily, “Are you scolding me?”
“So what if I scolded you?” Lu Zhou scoffed lightly as he placed his hands on his back and said, “The Great Void claims to maintain the balance of the world and peace in the nine domains. However, have they ever asked for the opinion of the people from the nine domains?”
“This…” Duanmu Dian was rendered speechless by these words.
Lu Zhou continued to say, “Ever since the imbalance began, the people have been suffering, Fierce beasts preyed on humans everywhere. Is this what the Great Void’s idea of maintaining peace is?”
Lu Zhou did not have any ideas of becoming the world’s savior nor did he think he was particularly kind. However, he was greatly displeased by the Great Void’s actions.
Duanmu Dian seemed surprised. “Is that so?”
Ye Tianxin said, “Senior, you’ve been guarding Dunzhang’s Pillar of Destruction for a long time so you’re not aware of this. If you don’t believe my master, you can go to any of the domains and see for yourself.”
Duanmu Dian’s expression tured grim immediately.
Lu Zhou saw that Duanmu Dian was lost in his thoughts and no longer wanted to waste time. They still had to go to the other Pillars of Destruction. Based on what he had seen, it did not seem realistic to expect help from Duanmu Dian. Hence, he said in a deep voice, “Everyone has their own aspirations, I
won’t force you.”
Then, Lu Zhou called out to his disciples, “Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
‘The four disciples flew up, following Lu Zhou. They flew toward the place where the others from the Evil Sky Pavilion were waiting.
After flying for about 300 meters, Lu Zhou turned around and saw Duanmu Dian was still in a daze.
Yu Zhenghai asked, puzzled, “Master, why didn’t you mention Third Junior Brother?”
No matter what, Duanmu Sheng was Duanmu Dian’s descendant, after all. Perhaps, Duanmu Dian might be willing to help them considering his relationship with Duanmu Sheng.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “The time is not ripe yet.”
Lu Zhou had not completely figured out the situation between Lu Tiantong and Duanmu Dian. Something might go wrong if Duanmu Dian were to meet Duanmu Sheng. In any case, the most important thing now was to let the Pillars of Destruction recognize his disciples.
Just as they were about to fly again, Duanmu Dian called out, “Wait!”
Lu Zhou frowned. He turned around and saw Duanmu Dian flying toward them at lightning speed. He asked, puzzled, “What do you want?”
Duanmu Dian raised his voice and said with a chuckle, “I haven’t won yet so how can you just leave?”
“Huh?”
Duanmu Dian laughed. “Lu Tiantong, I’ll let you have a taste of being bullied today!”
Then, Duanmu Dian raised his hand and sent a black palm seal toward Lu Zhou.
In the center of the black palm seal, a bolt of lightning struck at Lu Zhou. Its force seemed as though it could rip the very fabric of space. There was no doubt this was the power of a Great Saint.
Lu Zhou mobilized the divine power and launched a palm seal of his own.
Boom!
‘An energy seal rippled out from the collision.
Duanmu Dian’s eyes were filled with excitement as he pushed his hand out again. A buzzing noise rang in the air as when his hand burst forth with energy. His fighting spirit was thoroughly stimulated at this moment.
“Amazing! You’re very strong, but you’re not as overbearing as you used to be!”
Then, Duanmu Dian pushed Lu Zhou and flew five kilometers away in just a blink of an eye.
The four disciples hurriedly followed after the duo, surprised by the sudden development.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly as he asked, “Do you want to beat me so badly?”
“Of course!” Duanmu Dian grinned. “Is too much just for me to beat you once?”
Lu Zhou maintained the use of his divine power. Fortunately, his blue avatar already had three Birth Charts. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to keep up with this level of consumption.
“You’re a Great Saint. You shouldn’t bully the weak. Even if you win, the victory won’t mean anything since the fight isn’t fair,” Lu Zhou said. He did not want to spar with Duanmu Dian. All his item cards were deadly, after all. If he did not use his item cards, it would be impossible for him to defeat a Great
Saint.
Duanmu Dian laughed before he said, “Oh, why didn’t you say this back then? Old Lu, you always said that there’s no such thing as fairness in the cultivation world! Again!”
Duanmu Dian increased the strength of his attack.
A rumbling noise rang in the air as a surging power burst forth from Duanmu Dian’s hand again.
Boom!
Lu Zhou flashed back. He used the Concealment Card to hide his divine power before he mobilized more of his divine power around his body. With that, his entire body glowed with a golden light. Coupled with the divine mark robe, he successfully blocked the attack.
“Hm?” Duanmu Dian looked at Lu Zhou suspiciously. “You’re not affected by the attack at all?”
Lu Zhou said, “If this is all you have, you’re still far from being able to defeat me.”
“Idon’t believe this! Again!” Duanmu Dian said.
Swoosh!
Duanmu Dian vanished into thin air immediately.
Lu Zhou joined his palms together and closed his eyes. His body was shrouded with the divine power as he chanted the mantra for the power of infinite deduction.
Images appeared in Lu Zhou’s mind one after another. They were all possibilities of where Duanmu Dian might reappear. When the images finally stopped, he suddenly pushed his hand out toward an empty spot and released the Fiend Monk’s Hand seal.
Boom!
Duanmu Dian reappeared in the spot when Lu Zhou had released the palm seal, but he managed to dodge the palm seal by manipulating the fabric of space. He asked incredulously, “You managed to guess my position?”
“Guess?”
“There’s no way you could’ve found my position unless you’re making a wild guess,” Duanmu Dian said.
“You can continue trying then,” Lu Zhou said.
“Alright!” Duanmu Dian, who was unconvinced, vanished into thin air again, causing the space to ripple.
Lu Zhou repeated the same trick. After two breaths, he struck at another empty spot.
When Duanmu Dian reappeared, he saw the palm seal flying toward him. He exclaimed, “So accurate? This is strange!”
Whoosh!
Duanmu Dian vanished into thin air again, avoiding Lu Zhou’s palm seal.
Soon after, Lu Zhou released a palm seal to his left. The palm seal barely contained any power; it was just to show Duanmu Dian he knew where he was.
As expected, Duanmu Dian appeared and saw the palm seal heading his way again. Then, he vanished again to avoid the palm seal. Although the palm seal would not even leave a scratch on him, he refused to let the palm seal touch him. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing.
Following that, Duanmu Dian kept appearing and disappearing, leaving afterimages in his wake. Alas, no matter where he appeared, Lu Zhou would accurately guess his location before he even appeared.
After five consecutive attempts, Duanmu Dian stopped moving. He looked at Lu Zhou in surprise as he asked, “You’ve comprehended the greater law of space?”
“The greater law of space?” Lu Zhou asked in confusion.
“The laws come from the power of the Dao. The more profound your comprehension of the law is, the greater the law will be. Since you can accurately predict my locations, you must have comprehended the greater law of space,” Duanmu Dian explained. Then, he shook his head and said, “However, you
have to be a Dao Saint at least to be able to use the greater law of space.”
“Ihave to be a Dao Saint at least?”
“The power of the Dao comprehended by Venerable Masters is but a drop of water in the ocean. The power of the Dao of Saints is naturally stronger than Venerable Masters. As for Dao Saints or those who are stronger, their powers of the Dao are naturally stronger, and the laws they comprehended at that
level are called greater laws. It’s said only Great Dao Saints can comprehend more than three greater laws. Hey, Old Lu, don’t tell you were bored so you pretend to be weak to trick me!”
“Ididn’t expect that after so many years, you’re still so overbearing! Not only that, but you’ve even become so despicable!” Duanmu Dian said angrily, “Alright. I really wanted to experience the greater law once!”
Lu Zhou was truly speechless.
‘From the beginning until now, I didn’t say anything at all. How can you unilaterally blame me for everything”
Whoosh!
Duanmu Dian flashed, leaving afterimages in the sky.
Lu Zhou used the power of infinite deduction again. However, this time, he discovered he could not deduce where Duanmu Dian was going to reappear next. He found this rather strange. However, time did not allow him to think too much. When he sensed a powerful aura approaching, he mobilized his
divine power.
“Golden Buddha’s Body!”
Buzz!
‘With Lu Zhou in the center, the Golden Buddha’s Body grew swiftly.
Afterimages continued to appear in the sky as Duanmu Dian pounced on the Golden Buddha’s Body. When he discovered his attacks were useless, he flipped and flew 100 meters back before he looked at the Golden Buddha’s Body in shock and asked, “What technique is this? What a powerful defense!”
Lu Zhou put away his Golden Buddha’s Body and looked at Duanmu Dian.
Duanmu Dian looked at Lu Zhou with a complex expression as he said, “Old Lu, when did you cultivate the golden lotus?”
“Why can’t I cultivate the golden lotus?” Lu Zhou asked.
“We were both black lotus cultivators,” Duanmu Dian said. After thinking about it for a moment, he added, “Moreover, at that time, you were much darker than I was
Duanmu Dian asked again, “How did you manage to assimilate even after entering the Thousand Realms Whirling stage?”
“It’s a secret,” Lu Zhou replied with a straight face.
“After I left the black lotus domain for the purple lotus domain, I heard you went to the Unknown Land in search of the Great Dao?” Duanmu Dian asked.
“Idon’t remember.”
“Theard that when you returned, you even created the Nine Twists Illusory Formation and left your cultivation experience in there, right?” Duanmu Dian asked.
“Why do you ask if you already know?” Lu Zhou asked curiously.
“Very good, very good. I didn’t expect to still be inferior to you even after I became a Great Saint,” Duanmu Dian said listlessly as he shook his head.
“Te already said you’re still far from it even if you’ve become a Great Saint,” Lu Zhou said. He was not being pretentious. His item cards and treasures were all deadly. If it were not for Duanmu Dian’s special identity, how could Duanmu Dian still stand and speak? If it were someone else, they would have
long fallen.
Duanmu Dian sighed and no longer said anything.
At this moment.
Figures rushed over from afar. They were the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion. When they saw the intense battle from afar, they could no longer hold back and rushed over.
“Which fool dares to make a move against my master?”
The Overlord Spear pierced through the sky toward Duanmu Dian.
Duanmu Dian frowned as he looked at the golden spear flying toward him. He flicked his sleeve.
Bang!
The Overlord Spear was repelled and fell harmlessly to the ground.
“How dare you!” Duanmu Dian said in a deep voice.
Duanmu Sheng flew toward the Overlord Spear. Then, he looked up at Lu Zhou and asked, “Master, are you alright?”
Lu Zhou: “..”
“What must happen has happened at last…”
Lu Zhou nodded to show that he was fine.
Duanmu Dian frowned and complained to Lu Zhou, “Old Lu, I can understand your desire to preach and teach, but you have to be more discerning when choosing disciples.”
Lu Zhou:
Duanmu Sheng raised his hand, and the Overlord Spear flew into his hand. Then, he pointed the spear at Duanmu Dian and scolded, “Old bast*rd! How dare you scold me?”
“So what if I scold you?”
“Well, I can tolerate it!”
Swoosh!
Duanmu Sheng flew over with his Overlord Spear in hand. He brandished his spear, launching tens of thousands of energy spears at Duanmu Dian.
‘The wind whistled loudly in the air as Duanmu Dian leisurely dodged the energy spears. Then, he asked with a smile, “Is this all you got? It’s not different from playing with a child.”
Duanmu Sheng was someone with a one-track mind. Upon hearing these words, he swung his spear angrily and attacked even more rapidly.
Duanmu Dian said, “Well, this time, you’re a little better. You have the might of a Venerable Master.”
Bang!
Duanmu Dian pushed his hand out. His absolute power sent Duanmu Sheng flying back immediately.
Duanmu Dian smiled and said, “You’re still far from enough. Old Lu, your taste is really bad!”
Lu Zhou: “???”
Yu Zhenghai said, “This is my Third Junior Brother. He’s actually not bad. You’ll understand after listening to my explanation.”
“There’s no need to explain,” Duanmu Dian said, refusing to listen, ” No matter what, he’s bad!”
‘It’s bad enough that I can’t bully your master, if I can’t even bully you, how am I going to survive in the future as a Great Saint?
Duanmu Dian had already thought things through. No matter how much the others praised that brat, he was determined to step on that brat.
Yu Zhenghai was speechless.
At this time, Duanmu Sheng attacked again. He held the Overlord Spear with both hands as the purple dragons burst forth from his arms, swimming left and right. With this, his strength increased by several times.
Duanmu Dian exclaimed in surprise, “Corrosive energy?!”
“Old bast*rd, even if I’m weak now, I’m still 100 times better than you!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The purple dragons spun around swiftly as energy spears sailed in the air.
Duanmu Dian did not allow Duanmu Sheng to have his way. He pushed both his hands out. “Immovable Mountain!”
Faced with absolute power, the purple dragons and energy spears vanished when they collided with the palm seal.
At this moment, Lu Zhou finally said, “He’s a Great Saint.”
Duanmu Sheng was shocked and hurriedly flew back. No matter how rash he was, he was still aware of the difference in their strengths.
At this moment, a huge head descended from the sky. “Young Master.”
Duanmu Sheng did not raise his head. He only pointed at Duanmu Dian and said, “Lu Wu, freeze him!”
Lu Wu raised its head. Its eyes lit up as bright as the sun, moon, and stars and its ears pricked up when he saw Duanmu Dian. “Master?”
Duanmu Dian:
“Lu Wu, what are you doing?” Duanmu Sheng frowned.
Lu Wu leaped forward and rushed toward Duanmu Dian.
Lu Wu exclaimed in surprise, “Lu Wu?!”
