The high priestess's robes shone with a faint green light.
She pulled the chest-piercing tribesmen up with her staff and tossed them to the side.
The threads of light faded away. The chest-piercing tribesmen hovered in the air. Pillars of light converged on their hollow chests.
Lu Wu would not give them the chance. He opened his mouth and breathed out a mouthful of white mist. Creak!
Ice Seal!
A powerful chill swept across the area.
In the air and on the ground, thousands of chest-piercing tribesmen were instantly turned into ice sculptures.
To everyone's surprise, the high priestess was not angered. Instead, she snorted and retreated again. She said, "How dare a mere Beast Monarch act so arrogantly?!"
"Where did he get the courage to look down on a Beast Monarch?" Yan Zhenluo was speechless.
"Don't underestimate your opponent. Clearly, the leader knows Lu Wu … Lu Wu, watch out!" Duanmu Sheng shouted.
Roar!
Lu Wu stomped with his front hooves!
The ice sculptures shattered into pieces.
Alas, there were no merit points as a reward.
With Lu Zhou's current strength, it was difficult for him to earn merit points from killing these low-level targets.
Lu Wu's Ice Seal took away thousands of chest-piercing tribesmen.
The high priestess stabbed her staff into the air.
A radiance rippled out.
The diameter of the halo continued to expand. When it reached a distance of three thousand meters, the sound of a mountain roaring came from all directions, shaking the heavens and earth. Countless chest-piercing tribesmen charged out of the forest as though they had no regard for their lives. The ones in the air were like locusts as they sealed off the surroundings.
"Oh my … There are so many chest-piercing tribesmen."
Anyone with trypophobia would probably feel their scalp go numb and find it hard to accept this scene.
The high priestess said in a deep voice, "Do you know why I want to kill you?"
The voice passed through the crowd and reached Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou asked, "Why?"
"The Chest-Piercing Tribe stayed in the Ruin of Life for 1,000 years to obtain the Life Suppressing Pillar. The chest-piercing tribesmen sacrificed their lives to satisfy the growth of the Life Suppressing Pillar. Yet, you took it away from us, "the high priestess said.
Lu Zhou said disapprovingly, "Since when did the Life Suppressing Pillar belong to the Chest-Piercing Tribe? It's your business to sacrifice your lives. Since I've taken it, it belongs to me. "
"What you said makes sense. What I want to express is just anger. And this anger needs to be extinguished by your deaths, "said the Great Priest.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "Lu Wu."
There were countless people who had their chests pierced. There was no need for Lu Zhou to make a move.
Boom!
Lu Wu leaped into the air.
The eight tails spread out and swept across the chest piercing man.
The High Priest did not seem to feel the slightest heartache as he watched his people be killed by Lu Wu.
Lu Zhou looked at the people who had their chests pierced. When they fell to the ground, their chests cracked.
He saw a scene that made his scalp go numb — the number of Chest-Piercer Men that split apart was the number of smaller Chest-Piercer Men that would form again.
"Holy crap!! This thing was strange! Master?! "Mingshi Yin wanted to show off his skills, but he quickly hid behind Lu Zhou.
"The High Priest has placed a curse on their bodies. What a vicious curse!" Kong Wen said.
Meng Changdong, who was standing at the back of the group, said, "Mister Seventh and I have seen this before. Indeed, it's an evil curse. We can't continue killing them like this. Their numbers will only increase until we're exhausted."
"Lu Wu, stop!"
After Lu Wu unleashed a wide-area attack, he retreated to the back of the group and sat down.
At this moment, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong attacked from the left and right with energy sabers and swords.
The High Priestess continued to ignore him and just watched on.
The more they killed, the stronger they became.
"Are they still f * cking humans? Why do I feel disgusted? "Mingshi Yin cursed.
"Mister Fourth is right. They're disgusting," Pan Zhong chimed in.
On the rock peak.
Hua Yuexing drew her bow with her fingers. In just a few breaths, hundreds of energy arrows shot at the armpits of the Chest-Piercer Men.
The result was the same. It only increased the number of enemies.
"Great Dark Heaven Memorial!"
The Jasper Saber spun around with a huge energy saber and minced the Chest-Piercer Men.
When Yu Zhenghai saw the smaller Chest-Piercer Men, he frowned and said, "What a headache."
After killing the Chest-Piercer Men, Yu Shangrong looked at the ground littered with Chest-Piercer Men. Their numbers did not decrease. Instead, they increased. He said, "Interesting."
Without Lu Zhou's order, they had already made up their minds. They retracted their energy sabers and swords and swiftly returned to the group.
They landed in front of the others.
Pan Zhong turned around and asked, "Is there no way to deal with this Curse Art?"
Meng Changdong shook his head and said, "No. My understanding of the Curse Art was limited. I didn't have a deep understanding of it."
The Chest-Piercer Men rose to their feet again and walked forward slowly.
Their numbers and density were much higher than before.
The High Priest's voice rang again.
"Ignorant and ugly mutants, this is the Chest-Piercer Clan's great and holy Blessing Art. How can it be a curse?"
"You won't die even if you die. You split your body in half and split it into two, and you call that a Blessing Art?"
"No pain, no death, and power. This is the best Blessing Art," the High Priest said.
"Ptooey!"
Mingshi Yin retorted, "If one Chest-Piercer Man has ten Chest-Piercers, what are the Chest-Piercers called? Father? On the other hand, these Chest-Piercers are called sons? Are the ten Chest-Piercers brothers? Come, come, come … Explain to me. Where's their mother? "
Without waiting for the High Priest's reply, Mingshi Yin continued to say, "Don't tell me that the Chest-Piercers grew out of rocks and have no parents! If they do, how are they going to face their grandparents with this Blessing Art? If they don't, they're pitiful. They're not even as good as me. "
The High Priest wanted to argue with Mingshi Yin. However, when he heard Mingshi Yin's words, he was enraged. He waved his scepter. "I'll skin all of you alive!"
Whizz!
The scepter vibrated.
Threads of power appeared and connected the thousands of Chest-Piercers in the vicinity.
The Chest-Piercers covered the skies and the earth as they charged at Lu Zhou and Yu Zhenghai with no regard for their lives.
"Fall back!"
Lu Zhou ordered.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong conjured an energy wall to keep the Chest-Piercers at bay.
Some of the Chest-Piercers had no choice but to cut them down with their swords.
The process of reforming the Chest-Piercers would buy them some time.
Lu Zhou pushed his arm forward. His palm seal was like a mountain. Boom!
Hundreds of Chest-Piercers were knocked back.
The Chest-Piercers fell to the ground. Some of the shattered Chest-Piercers seemed to be reproducing.
Lu Zhou frowned. 'How are we going to kill them?'
The High Priest said coldly, "This is Rooster Crow. The foot of the Apocalypse Pillar will be your burial ground. Kill them! "
Countless Chest-Piercers lost their minds under the High Priest's control.
They were like zombies.
"What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? Master!" Zhu Honggong was flustered.
"Calm down!"
Mingshi Yin rode on Qiong Qi to Zhu Honggong's side. He looked at Zhu Honggong with a smile and said, "Do you remember what master told you? You're too cowardly. "
Zhu Honggong looked like he was about to cry as he said, "I'm brave … When I first went to the red lotus domain, I bravely jumped into the Endless Ocean to buy time for everyone to escape. But now … it's a little scary! "
"Coward," Mingshi Yin cursed.
"Fourth Senior Brother, why aren't you afraid? Is there a trick to it? "Zhu Honggong asked in a low voice.
"Trick?"
Mingshi Yin stared at Zhu Honggong mysteriously.
At this moment, a rather large Chest-Piercer with skin as red as fresh blood broke through everyone's energy and lunged at them.
Mingshi Yin widened his eyes. "Flash!"
Whoosh!
Mingshi Yin and Qiong Qi shot into the forest like a meteor. They broke through the thin Chest-Piercers at the back and vanished.
Zhu Honggong. "…"
He was dumbfounded.
There was nothing else he could think of.
Among the crowd, the only one who withstood most of the damage was Qin Naihe who was close to becoming a Perfected One.
Qin Naihe's protective energy was like a bubble that enveloped everyone. However, as the enemies continued to attack in a frenzy, he felt pressured by the prolonged attacks.
"Pavilion Master!"
Lu Zhou turned to look at Qin Naihe.
He saw the pressure on Qin Naihe.
He pushed away from the ground and flew out.
Since he could not kill these Chest-Piercers, he would first capture their leader.
Whoosh!
"How dare you behave atrociously before me?!"
The others held their breaths as they looked at Lu Zhou who flew out.
They were eager to see how the pavilion master would deal with this problem.
The high priestess waved her staff. 1,000 Chest-Piercers blocked Lu Zhou's path like flies.
Lu Zhou pushed his palm forward and bent his arm.
He flew out horizontally.
Boom!
Lu Zhou passed through the 1,000 Chest-Piercers with the momentum of splitting the heavens and earth.
1,000 Chest-Piercers died and split into new forms. Their numbers increased rapidly.
Lu Zhou ignored them and continued toward the high priestess.
The high priestess said gruffly, "I've expected this. Mutants are never truly humans. Lowly wretches, die! "
She roared.
She spread her arms.
Whizz!
The Chest-Piercers on the ground formed a Taiji diagram. Nearly 10,000 Chest-Piercers aimed their chests at Lu Zhou at the same time. Pillars of light shot out.
A lotus appeared under Lu Zhou's feet. The bottom of the lotus blocked the dense pillars of light.
The high priestess said, "So, it's you, Great Master. No wonder you dare to behave atrociously in an unknown land!"
She retreated 1,000 meters at top speed.
The Chest-Piercers on both sides leaped into the air like a tidal wave.
Lu Zhou was hindered, and his speed slowed down.
"Fire Lotus Storm."
The Golden Lotus Golden Fire under Lu Zhou's feet swept out in all directions like a tornado.
The flaming lotus immediately pierced through the Chest-Piercers who were charging at Lu Zhou. The area within 1,000 meters instantly turned into a sea of fire.
"Master … When did he become so powerful?!" Zhu Honggong's eyes widened as he gulped.
"Master has always been powerful. Eighth Senior Brother, have you lost your mind after staying in Yellow Lotus?" Little Yuan 'er asked, feeling speechless.
Amidst the sea of fire, the Chest-Piercers were burned to a crisp.
They kept splitting, splitting, burning, and splitting again … The cycle repeated until the Chest-Piercers were the size of fists. Cries of pain rang in the air.
Meng Changdong pointed at the Chest-Piercers that were no longer splitting and said excitedly, "It's working!"
"Fire is working!"
Meng Changdong said, "It'd be best if it's True Fire. It'd be even better if you know some Daoist seals. Mister Seventh said that curses are a type of Daoist seal. If there's a way to cast it, there must be a way to break it. "
Lu Li nodded and said, "Mister Seventh, you're truly knowledgeable. To a certain extent, this splitting is similar to a human's fate. You'll have to kill it many times. Take a look. An adult Chest-Piercers can only split five or six times at most before they stop splitting. Those who are bigger can withstand it a few more times, but there's a limit. "
The others saw hope.
Yu Zhenghai charged forward with his Golden Lotus Flame.
Yu Shangrong unleashed his karmic fire as well.
Most of the Evil Sky Pavilion disciples had karmic fire.
For a time, the eastern side of the Revelation Pillar was engulfed in a sea of fire.
Lu Wu, on the other hand, fell to the ground. It could not breathe fire so it could not do anything. Duanmu Sheng fell to the ground as well.
…
Lu Zhou's fiery lotus storm had inspired everyone. He turned to look at his disciples. The situation was slowly turning around.
He felt relieved and flew toward the high priestess.
The high priestess continued to fly backward.
She did not seem afraid nor did she feel sad that her clansmen were burned to death. On the contrary, the high priestess's face was flushed with excitement. Her eyes shone brightly.
"Hahaha … Hahaha …"
The high priestess looked at the sea of fire before her. She seemed to have lost her mind.
She laughed loudly.
Lu Zhou frowned. Anger rose in his heart as he shouted, "Freeze!"
The Hourglass of Time fell to the ground.
A blue ripple swept out in all directions. The area within 1,000 meters was shrouded in electric arcs.
In just a few breaths …
After a second, Lu Zhou appeared in front of the high priestess. His fingers were like heavenly hooks as he pushed them forward.
Time returned to normal.
Boom!
The high priestess's eyes widened in anger. She cried out hoarsely, "Impossible!"
Pfft!
She spat out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Zhou's protective energy blocked the blood.
The high priestess arched her back as she flew backward. Her eyes were filled with fear.
Lu Zhou retrieved the Hourglass of Time.
Then, he turned to look at the battle.
The tables were turning.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong's karmic fire was burning the chest-piercing army.
The high priestess gripped her scepter tightly.
Blood gushed out of his chest like a fountain, forming many blood-colored butterflies.
The blood butterflies circled around the scepter as they flew downward.
The High Priest stopped and pressed the scepter in his hand down.
Bam!
The scepter fell into the earth's core.
Lu Zhou had a nagging feeling that the chest-piercer Tribe was strange. Moreover, they had survived in the unknown lands for so long and had grown stronger. It was not as if they did not have their own methods.
Lu Zhou activated the Life Suppressing Pillar.
The Longevity Suppressing Pillar buzzed and floated in front of him.
"You want the Longevity Suppressing Pillar?"
"Hand over the Longevity Suppression Pillar!" The High Priest roared with a ferocious expression.
Lu Zhou said sternly.
"That depends on whether you have the ability or not."
His five fingers pressed down.
Bang!
The Longevity Suppressing Pillar entered the earth's core.
Channeling his Primal Qi, Zhang Xuan struck out once more.
The Longevity Suppressing Pillar rotated and expanded.
Vitality from all directions was continuously absorbed by the Longevity Suppressing Pillar.
The High Priest's face was ashen. "Get into formation!"
Bang –
The blood-colored butterflies beside the scepter slowly formed a whirlpool. The blood-colored butterflies filled the sky and pounced at the person whose chest was pierced. Red lines were left on their bodies.
Outside the Apocalypse Pillar, a large number of chest-pierced people rushed over.
The number was beyond imagination.
The red lines quickly intertwined with each other.
