Qin Renyue wanted to persuade Lu Zhou to not be so reckless. However, he recalled Lu Zhou was a Great Venerable. Even if Lu Zhou could not defeat his opponent, he should have no problem escaping. Moreover, due to how vast the Unknown Land was, it was also easier to deal with the people from the Great Void. Most importantly, the cultivation resources in the Unknown Land such as life hearts were better in the Unknown Land.
“That’s a good idea. If you’re going to the Unknown Land, it’s best to stay away from the core area and the Pillars of Destruction,” Qin Renyue finally said.
Lu Zhou asked, “Are life hearts of the fierce beasts in the core area better?”
“…”
Qin Renyue thought to himself that he should not have mentioned the core area. Nevertheless, he answered truthfully, “Of course.”
“Very good,” Lu Zhou said with a nod.
“…”
Lu Zhou looked at the sky outside and said, “It’s time for me to return.”
“Alright.” Qin Renyue did not stop Lu Zhou this time. Just as Lu Zhou was about to step out of the training hall, he said, “Brother Lu, I’m sorry for your loss.”
Lu Zhou did not turn back nor did he say anything. With just a flash, he vanished from sight.
…
At dusk.
In the golden lotus domain.
At this moment, a rainbow appeared among the clouds and shone on the ground. This was a rare sight due to the imbalance.
The waves crashed against the shore repeatedly. The terrifyingly bloody seawater was nowhere to be seen. The sea had long regained its original appearance.
At this time, while a few cultivators admired the rainbow, the silver-armored cultivator flew over and asked, “Did you see anything abnormal on the surface of the sea?”
“Huh? No.”
“Previously, the seawater was red. Does that count as strange?”
The silver-armored cultivator smiled. “Of course, it counts. Apart from that, is there anything else?”
“Well, there were many sea beasts and their carcasses as well. The largest one was headed east.”
“Many thanks,” the silver-armored cultivator said as he cupped fists together.
“Why are you asking about this?”
“I’m just trying my luck, hoping to find life hearts,” the silver-armored cultivator replied.
Everyone nodded.
The silver-armored cultivator asked again, “Who has the highest cultivation base in the golden lotus domain?”
“No way, brother! You don’t even know this?”
The silver-armored cultivator smiled and said, “I really don’t know.”
Upon hearing this, the cultivator took a step back and asked warily, “You don’t know?”
The silver-armored cultivator could tell something was amiss so he asked, “Is it wrong not to know?”
“Are you a foreigner?”
The silver-armored cultivator became impatient with this back-and-forth so he flicked his wrist, sending a wave of Primal Qi over.
The cultivators fell to their knees immediately, sweating profusely.
“I’ll ask the questions. All you have to do is answer them.”
“Y-you’re… You’re really a foreigner! You don’t even know about the strongest cultivator of Great Yan, Senior Ji?”
“Senior Ji?” The silver-armored cultivator said skeptically. At the same time, he grumbled inwardly, ‘Elder Jiang, why didn’t you come instead?’
Outwardly, the silver-armored cultivator continued to ask with a smile, “Where is that Senio Ji now?”
As soon as his voice fell, he noticed something was amiss. The kneeling cultivators in front of him had raised their heads, but their eyes were not trained on him. Instead, they were looking at something or someone behind him.
At the same time, a voice rang from behind him.
“You’re looking for my master?”
The silver-armored cultivator spun around and exclaimed in surprise, “You’re not dead?!”
The kneeling cultivators looked at the drenching wet person in front of them whose eyes were shining with killing intent, wielding the Jasper Saber in his hand. He was none other than Yu Zhenghai, the first disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Yu Zhenghai was fast. He swung his Jasper Saber with both hands, unleashing a 1,000-foot-long energy saber.
Bang!
The silver-armored cultivator sneered. “I’d like to see how tenacious you are!”
Then, the silver-armored cultivator lifted his hand and caught the energy saber with two fingers.
As the battle began, the cultivators retreated one after another.
“It’s Mr. First!”
“It’s Mr. First from the Evil Sky Pavilion!”
“Thank you for saving our lives, Mr. First!”
…
“Ding! Worshiped by 15 people. Reward: 15 merit points.”
…
Yu Zhenghai glared at the silver-armored cultivator angrily and pressed down with his energy saber.
Crack!
At this time, the silver-armored cultivator discovered his protective energy had been breached. His expression changed as he hurriedly flick his two fingers.
Bang!
The duo separated.
The silver-armored cultivator landed on the surface of the water and looked at Yu Zhenghai solemnly. “You’ve grown stronger?”
Swoosh!
Yu Zhenghai’s gaze was filled with killing intent as he said, “It’s too late for you now!”
Whoosh!
Yu Zhenghai arrived in front of the silver-armored cultivator and launched the Great Dark Heaven Palm.
The silver-armored cultivator pushed his hand out.
Boom!
Waves rose up to the sky immediately.
“This is good! I’m not interested in weak opponents,” the silver-armored cultivator said as he attacked.
The duo battled fiercely above the sea.
The seawater surged endlessly, and sea beasts leaped out of the sea as they fought back and forth.
After a while, the silver-armored cultivator exclaimed in disbelief, “You actually passed your second Birth Trial?!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The duo continued to fight fiercely.
The silver-armored cultivator was extremely surprised. The combat strength of someone who had passed the second Birth Trial was much stronger than those who had only passed the first Birth Trial, after all.
After fighting for a while, the silver-armored cultivator chuckled and said, “I’ve played enough. Although you’ve passed your second Birth Trial, you’re still no different from an ant. Give up!”
Buzz!
A dazzling astrolabe shining with 18 Birth Charts appeared in the sky.
Yu Zhenghai frowned. “Venerable Master?”
“I’ve been suppressing my cultivation base to investigate some matters. You should feel honored that I’m unleashing my full strength,” the silver-armored cultivator said he flashed forward toward Yu Zhenghai and pushed his astrolabe out.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Pillars of water shot up into the sky immediately.
All the weaker sea beasts were instantly killed as well.
Yu Zhenghai flipped in the air. Their difference in strength was too great. For experts, even a millimeter of difference made a huge difference, let alone the difference of so many Birth Charts.
Within a radius of 100 kilometers, waves rose up into the sky.
Yu Zhenghai’s blood and qi surged violently. His mind raced as he thought about how to overcome the difference in the strength between him and his opponent. Following that, he tossed his Jasper Saber out.
The Jasper Saber burst forth with countless energy sabers, fusing with the huge wave they stirred up that was like a city wall. Then, he spun around and flew away.
“You want to leave?”
The silver-armored cultivator’s body flashed with a black light as he shot past the wall of energy sabers. Just as his palm was about to land on Yu Zhenghai’s back…
Creak!
The seawater froze.
The silver-armored cultivator froze like an ice sculpture.
Yu Zhenghai’s foot was caught by the ice as well so he could not move. However, the ice did not spread past his foot. When he looked up, he saw a huge figure descending from the sky.
Duanmmu Sheng stood above Lu Wu, holding the Overlord Spear in his hand. His expression was one of sorrow as he looked down.
“Lu Wu?! Third Junior Brother?!” Yu Zhenghai exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Wu’s body was big, but it was very nimble. As soon as he landed on the frozen seawater, it slapped its paw at the silver-armored cultivator.
Boom!
Then, Lu Wu lowered its head and began to exhale another breath of freezing energy.
Creak!
The sea continued to freeze.
Finally, Lu Wu stomped its feet, cracking the ice.
Bang!
At this time, the silver-armored cultivator flew out of the sea, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Lu Wu stepped on the ice and flew up, baring its fangs at the silver-armored cultivator.
Duanmu Sheng said angrily, “How dare you bully my senior brother! Lu Wu, kill him!”
Roar!
Lu Wu’s roar shook heaven and earth.
The silver-armor cultivator spun around and said angrily, “I’ll kill you first!”
Since the silver-armored cultivator was in danger of being killed by Lu Wu, he pounced toward Duanmu Sheng instead.
