The Hourglass of Time was too special. With its ability to stop time, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a divine item. Lu Zhou shouted, "Freeze!" Blue arcs of electricity flowed out of the hourglass like spring water and spread in all directions.
Zhi Guangji's first reaction was to dodge. However, controlling time was one of the most powerful rules of Dao power. Nobody in the world could escape the corrosion of time. This was an undeniable truth in the cultivation world.
Zhi Guangji was no exception. He was frozen by the Hourglass of Time as well.
The scenery froze, and the wind stopped.
Lu Zhou was the only living being in the world who could move. He bent his arm and pushed out his palm.
Lu Zhou seized this opportunity and channeled all of his heavenly powers and the power of the Heavenly Dao.
His fingers were like mountains.
Between his fingers hung the glittering golden seal script: Abandon Wisdom.
A dark blue arc of electricity could be seen shuttling back and forth between the four scripts.
In less than a breath's time, the palm seal landed heavily on Zhi Guangji's chest. At the same time, Zhi Guangji's eyes widened in anger as he broke free from the control of time. Zhi Guangji's rich battle experience and unfathomable cultivation base allowed him to react appropriately. He retreated as black light shot into the sky from his arms. He growled in shock and rage as he deflected Lu Zhou's terrifying palm force.
In the distance, the clouds parted, making way for Zhi Guangji.
The palm strike shattered Zhi Guangji's Binding Space. In just a breath's time, Zhi Guangji was sent flying thousands of meters away.
The palm strike seemed to have opened up a straight path. The powerful force left a ripple in the air.
Everyone's time was restored.
Clang!
At this critical moment, Zhi Guangji had no choice but to channel his Dao power. He formed an Eight Trigrams Daoist seal and deflected the force.
With that, the attack came to an end.
Their vision gradually cleared.
The cultivators rose slowly and looked down at the ground. They were shocked by the scene before them. From the spot where Zhi Guangji was struck all the way to where he stopped, everything was flattened.
The mountains were gone, and the rivers were gone.
Due to the frozen time, they did not see how Lu Zhou made his move. However, the power that caused this was enough to prove that something was amiss.
The others looked up at Lu Zhou who was hovering in the air in a daze.
How could he send the Black Emperor flying with one move so easily?!
Everyone turned their heads and looked at the sky ten thousand meters away. Those with weaker cultivations could only see the huge circle of light that Black Emperor Zhi Guangji had used.
Zhi Guangji was a fly in the circle of light.
Those with better eyesight could see Zhi Guangji hovering in the air. Those with better eyesight such as Imperial Lord Xuan Pin, Shang Zhang, and Dao Sheng could see Zhi Guangji's solemn expression. His brows were tightly knitted together as he stared at Lu Zhou who was standing calmly.
Neither side made their next move.
No one dared to make a sound and disturb such a high-level battle.
"Master is mighty! Master's skills are unparalleled! Invincible!! "
Everyone frowned and looked in the direction of the voice.
When he saw Zhu Honggong, who was bound so tightly that he could not move, he struggled and shouted.
"…"
When Zhu Honggong sensed everyone's gazes on him, his shouts grew softer and softer. Then, he laughed awkwardly and stopped shouting. "I couldn't help it. Forgive me, forgive me …"
Meanwhile.
Lu Zhou's figure flickered.
He used the Power of Major Teleportation and appeared before Zhi Guangji in just a blink of an eye.
He was within range of Major Teleportation.
Zhi Guangji's eyes widened slightly. His expression was grim. 'How did he do it?'
He was a supreme, a great emperor at that. Even so, it was difficult for him to teleport within 10,000 meters.
Zhi Guangji took a deep breath and said, "I've underestimated you."
Lu Zhou did not reply. Instead, he said, "Second move."
"Hm?"
Swoosh!
Lu Zhou flew into the air.
His movements were as smooth as flowing water, and they were done in a single breath.
Zhi Guangji frowned as he looked at Lu Zhou in the air with a grim expression on his face.
A huge black lotus emerged from under his feet.
The others looked at Lu Zhou in the air at the same time. A miniature vortex appeared in his palm.
This was the only Deadly Card that Lu Zhou had purchased with the merit points he obtained from killing the Holy Ferocious Beasts. Currently, the system was becoming more detached from the world. There were fewer notifications about him obtaining merit points. It was just as he had said when his authority was raised. As his understanding of the Heaven Scroll deepened, he could feel that the system had become a part of the Heavenly Dao.
This was not a loss. Rather, he had become stronger.
The vortex formed by the Deadly Card was the ultimate attack of the Fiend God at his peak.
Since ancient times, the lofty and invincible expert who had roamed the Great Void for many years had left behind many miracles and legends.
This attack … had inherited the Fiend God's will!
The vortex seemed to have descended from the nine heavens. It was like a golden dragon coiling in the sky as it tore through the clouds and mist. It followed Lu Zhou's palm and tore through the sky.
Zhi Guangji's eyes burned like fire. His robes were shredded to shreds as he crossed his arms.
His hair fell to the ground. His black eyes shone brightly as he crossed his arms.
"I won't be defeated!"
His avatar overlapped and stood before him.
An extremely black pearl hovered in the center of the avatar.
It appeared between Zhi Guangji's palms!
Zhi Guangji looked at the golden dragon in the sky and shouted, "Come!"
He was ready to deal with it.
The golden dragon left the whirlpool and flew towards Zhi Guangji.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin, Zhang He, Li Chun, Shang Zhang, Little Yuan 'er, Conch, and Zhu Honggong watched this shocking scene with their mouths agape.
The heavens and earth shook as the space distorted and collapsed!
Boom!
The huge golden dragon collided with Zhi Guangji's avatar.
The avatar shone with a dazzling black radiance.
As Zhi Guangji roared, the avatar buzzed and vibrated.
The avatar seemed to have faded away as it struggled in the sky. Its palms and the black pearl resisted the golden dragon with all its might.
The golden dragon was so powerful that every time it moved, the ground would tremble and the space would be torn apart.
The others had no choice but to retreat to avoid being injured.
"Master's cultivation base … has become so powerful?" Little Yuan 'er exclaimed in shock.
"I didn't expect this as well. I always thought master was a Dao Saint like us," Conch said.
Little Yuan 'er was shocked and delighted. She grumbled, "Master, you've worried us to death!"
The Daoist child suppressed his shock and asked softly, "Is … is this really your master?"
"Of course." Little Yuan 'er rolled her eyes at him.
The Daoist child wanted to ask more questions. However, when he thought about how much information he had obtained from the chapter, he knew he would be exposed if he asked.
He raised his hand and waved his sleeve as he sighed.
In truth, when he thought about it, he did not care who he was or what his motives were. As long as his daughter was fine, what was there to look into? Moreover, what right did he have to look into his benefactor's identity and background?
Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin was excited, but there were no visible changes in his expression.
At the side, Zhang He whispered, "Don't tell me … the White Emperor is here?"
Boom!
The gigantic golden dragon pierced through the body of the ink-colored avatar.
The experienced Black Emperor, Zhi Guangji, reacted instinctively. He joined his palms together and opened his mouth. The Heavenly Soul Pearl entered his mouth and slid into his abdomen.
The avatar turned into a shadow and vanished into thin air.
The golden dragon flew past and disappeared a hundred meters behind it.
Zhi Guangji stopped.
He looked up at Lu Zhou who was hovering in the air.
Lu Zhou was still calm as though he did not expend much energy. He looked down at Zhi Guangji.
It seemed like the victor was decided.
Nobody spoke. Nobody moved. Nobody dared to step forward to check on the situation.
They only looked at the two figures in the air.
They were facing each other.
Their eyes were fixed on each other.
It was as though thousands of years had passed. Clouds appeared in the sky, and the Primal Qi was dense again. There were even bold beasts flying in the air.
The sunlight from the west pierced through the clouds and shone on Lu Zhou.
He was like a god who looked down on all living beings.
Everyone looked at Lu Zhou with a shudder. They had never felt such a king's aura before.
He did not even need to use any power to make others want to submit to him.
This was what an expert was like. An expert that could not be defied.
Zhi Guangji was the first to break the silence. He said, "You … You're not a Little Sovereign. Who are you? "
Lu Zhou's eyes were indifferent as he looked at Zhi Guangji and said disapprovingly, "How can you come out unscathed after taking my attack head-on?"
"A mere golden dragon can't do anything to me," Zhi Guangji said with a snort.
"I've said … I'll kill you within three moves. Two moves have passed, "Lu Zhou reminded him.
Zhi Guangji said in a deep voice, "Even if you had 10 or 100 moves, you wouldn't be able to defeat me, let alone three moves."
Lu Zhou extended his palm.
Zhi Guangji looked up and suddenly said, "However … before that, I'd like to know who you are."
"A nobody from the golden lotus domain," Lu Zhou replied.
Indeed, he was famous in the golden lotus domain, but in the Great Void, he was indeed a nobody.
Zhi Guangji chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm that gullible?"
He pointed at Lu Zhou and said, "I recognize that item. What an Hourglass of Time. "
Lu Zhou was not surprised when Zhi Guangji mentioned the Hourglass of Time.
"Yue Qi was a Great Void beast tamer, and he controlled this item. Alas, he couldn't unleash the item's true strength. It's a waste to let him use it, "Zhi Guangji said," How did you get this item from Yue Qi? "
Lu Zhou said indifferently, "I just killed him."
"…"
Zhi Guangji could not help but applaud. "I just killed him? Aren't you afraid that the Great Void will hold you accountable for your audacity? And Emperor Xuan Pin, I can't wait to report you to the Sacred Temple for harboring a felon. "
Emperor Xuan Pin frowned. "..."
This was supposed to be Teacher's to begin with.
Injustice!
A thousand years of grievance!
Lu Zhou shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Looks like I can't let you live today. Only a dead man won't go around telling on people. "
"…"
Zhi Guangji also shook his head and said in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "You think too much. This emperor has always been open and aboveboard in the way he does things. I've never disdained to do such despicable things. "
He lowered his voice and said,
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy if you want to kill me. This Emperor has been in seclusion for many years and has achieved initial success in his divine art. Comprehending the Laws of the Great Dao. If it weren't for the fact that you pitied the lives of Xuan Pin's people, you wouldn't have had the chance to attack at all! "
Lu Zhou said.
"I only used thirty percent of my strength."
Zhi Guangji didn't mind, he smiled and said, "You don't dare to go all out."
"Why do you say that?"
"The Great Emperor will shake the rules of the Great Dao. The Heavenly Dao will collapse and affect the balance of the Great Void. If Tian Qi collapsed, the Great Void would collapse as well. At that time, countless living beings would face death. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if it doesn't happen, Temple will not let you off easily. Do you think … you can defeat Ming Xin? "Zhi Guangji asked.
Lu Zhou did not continue the conversation.
"Whether Holy Temple comes or not has nothing to do with what's happening right now. This old man only needs to deal with you first. "
Zhi Guangji frowned slightly.
At this moment, his subordinates flew over from afar. They looked at Lu Zhou in the sky as though they were facing a great enemy.
Zhi Guangji thought about it for a moment, but maintained a neutral attitude. "I'd rather die in glory than live in disgrace. Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"
The unnamed 'void' form appeared in Lu Zhou's palm.
Space trembled slightly.
A great battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
Everyone felt their throats go dry.
His heart was filled with anxiety.
Xuan Ke shook his head repeatedly, unwilling to watch a battle between Emperors.
If they really fought, it would probably affect the balance of the Great Void.
However … the Black Emperor could not be let off so easily.
Tangled, contradictory.
At this moment, the Daoist child standing before Conch said, "Why don't we both take a step back?"
Swish swish swish.
Everyone's eyes focused on him.
"Who's this? Why is he interrupting?! "
"Does he have a death wish? How dare he gossip in a place like this?!"
"The Emperor hasn't even said anything. A mere Daoist child is truly audacious!"
The Daoist child's expression remained unchanged.
He would not be angered by the comments of some minor characters.
He had merely blurted out a few words.
It was not appropriate for him to continue speaking.
At this moment, Zhi Guangji glanced at the Daoist child. His voice was still fierce and domineering as he said, "I'll give you face and spare Xuan Ke!"
He waved his sleeve and turned around!
The dozen or so subordinates were baffled.
The Black Emperor, Zhi Guangji, walked in the air as though he was walking on flat ground.
"Your Majesty … H-he …" The leading cultivator pointed in Zhu Honggong's direction.
The Black Emperor, Zhi Guangji, did not turn around. Instead, he stopped in his tracks and said, "There are only a handful of people who are a match for me. I'll give you face as well … I'll return him to you. "
After he finished speaking, he transformed into a meteor and shot into the distance. His speed was extremely fast!
The dozen or so subordinates turned to look at him. They were afraid they would be eaten alive as they hastily followed after him.
In the air, Lu Zhou watched them fly away. He did not say anything nor did he make a move to stop them.
After a long while, he said tonelessly, "For the sake of the people of Xuan Pin, I'll spare your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his fist.
The numbness immediately disappeared.
…
Meanwhile, on a mountain peak at the border of Xuan Pin.
The Black Emperor, Zhi Guangji, appeared with a flash.
Swoosh!
The instant Zhi Guangji landed on the huge rock, he grunted. His dantian's sea of Qi was in chaos as his blood essence surged.
He struck with a palm!
Boom!
A mountain peak was forcefully broken by his palm strike. The powerful energy that remained in his Extraordinary Eight Meridians was completely dissipated by his palm strike!
Zhi Guangji heaved a long sigh and said in a low voice, "That was close!"
PS: I could've written more according to the plan, but there were too many things to do. Moreover, I've injured my wrist (I've mentioned this repeatedly). He knew he was too ashamed to explain himself. After reading some of the comments, he lost all motivation and emotion. 'So be it. I'll write as much as I can. As long as I don't die, I'll write well.'
