The voice contained too much unwillingness and complicated emotions. It brimmed with complaints about the past.
Zui Can began to laugh shrilly, completely losing the image of a monk.
At this time, Shang Zhang, Xuanyi, Little Yuan’er, and Conch hovered in the air and silently watched. The battle had ended the moment Lu Zhou walked out of the ball of light. At this time, they were more interested in the grudge between Zui Can and Lu Zhou.
After his laughter subsided, Zui Can raised his hand and wiped the blood off the corners of his mouth. He suddenly became very serious and respectful. He straightened his back before he bowed deeply at Lu Zhou and said, “I refuse to accept this. I’m not convinced.”
Then, Zui Can shot toward Lu Zhou like a shooting star.
Then, similar scenes appeared again.
Lu Zhou dealt with Zui Can’s attacks leisurely. He pushed his hand out as he flashed to the left and right.
“The Four Empty Elements!” Zui Can shouted as four palm seals shot out from different directions.
Lu Zhou shook his head. “It’s futile.”
Lu Zhou did not move. When the four palm seals drew close, the divine mark robe easily neutralized the power of the laws contained in the palm seals, rendering them harmless.
“Absolute Impermanence!” Zui Can flashed. He manifested his avatars, causing the land to shake.
“It’s still futile,” Lu Zhou said calmly as a golden lotus bloomed under his feet.
Boom!
Zui Can’s avatar was sent flying, causing Zui Can to spit out a mouthful of blood. He did not lose his mind like before. Instead, he flashed 300 feet back before he shouted, “It’s been 100,000 years! Try this move!”
The wine gourd on Zui Can’s body flew up into the sky before it turned upside-down. A rain of light fell immediately.
Lu Zhou raised his head and said icily, “All living beings have Vajra Buddhas living in them. They’re like the sun, perfect and boundless…”
Following that, a sun disk appeared behind Lu Zhou.
Xuanyi, Little Yuan’er, and Conch were shocked.
“Supreme being…” Xuanyi murmured.
Sun disks were unique to supreme beings.
Saints would gain Saint Light, and when they became Dao Saints, they would gain a halo on top of the Saint Light. After becoming a supreme being, one would have control over the sun disk, the halo, and the Saint Light.
The sun disks were the most conspicuous after the avatars, and they could be used alone like the astrolabes.
When Lu Zhou’s sun disk appeared, the needle on it began to turn backward, freezing time.
The silhouette of a Vajra Buddha shrouded Lu Zhou as he flew out and raised his hand. The Vajra Buddha easily dispelled the rain of light before it crashed against Zui Can’s protective energy.
Boom!
Zui Can was sent flying again. He spat out blood again as he looked at the Vajra Buddha in horror. The Vajra Buddha was a mutation of the avatar; it was one of the great techniques from the school of Buddhism.
Lu Zhou looked at Zui Can and said coldly, “I can teach you how to cultivate, and I can also cripple your cultivation.”
Swoosh!
Lu Zhou flashed and appeared above Zui Can before he struck down with his palm.
“The Great Seal of Fearlessness.”
This was one of the most commonly used Buddhist palm seals. It was said that palm seal would dispel fear.
Boom!
Zui Can spat out another mouthful of blood again before he grunted in pain and fell to the ground. He tried using the laws to resist, but the laws seemed to be restrained. He could only fall to the ground again, causing debris and dust to fly up.
Upon seeing this, Xuanyi shook his head and asked, “What’s the point of struggling in futility?”
A teacher was a teacher, after all. It was a beautiful dream for the studen to surpass the teacher.
As the dust settled, Zui Can’s vision cleared. The rhythm of his attacks had been ruthlessly interrupted by Lu Zhou. After a long time, he pushed the stones around him away as he struggled to get up. He said, “You’re still the same. How many tricks do you have?”
Lu Zhou did not respond to the question. Instead, he said, “You cultivated a Buddhist cultivation method. According to Grand Mystic Mountain’s rules, as a practitioner of Buddhism, you should be punished according to the rules of Buddhism. Those who betray their ancestors and teacher aren’t allowed to reincarnate and can only die a true death!”
Zui Can no longer cared about the dust and blood on his body. He looked at the sky and said in a deep voice, “Great Void Token!”
Lu Zhou flashed and appeared near the Great Void Token.
Buzz!
With a wave of Lu Zhou’s hand, the Great Void Token reverted to its original appearance before it flew into Lu Zhou’s hand.
Zui Can’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw this. His body kept trembling as his eyes shone with despair.
“I gave you the Great Void Token to protect Grand Mystic Mountain, but you dare to use it to betray your teacher and destroy the mountain?”
Zui Can shook his head frantically, looking like a madman. He said loudly, “In this world, there’s no one more loyal to Grand Mystic Mountain than me! No one! No one!”
Lu Zhou’s eyes were burning as he said clearly, “Hua Zhenghong, Wen Ruqing, Guan Jiu… including Ming Xin… When have I ever mistreated any of you?”
Zui Can cackled. He acted as though everyone was drunk and he was the only one sober as he pointed at Lu Zhou in the sky and said, “I want to live forever!”
Lu Zhou looked at Zui Can with a disappointed expression on his face. “Back then, the four of you colluded with the Great Void to ambush me and break the formation.”
“No, I don’t know anything! You should give up! The Great Void doesn’t belong to you anymore. The Great Void now isn’t what it was before!” Zui Can said.
“Bast*rd!” Lu Zhou longer wasted words with Zui Can. He swooped down and pushed his hand out. Electric arcs flashed around his body as his eyes shone with a blue light.
Boom!
Zui Can stepped forward, meeting the attack head-on.
Boom!
Zui Can was slammed into the ground by Lu Zhou’s palm seal. He tried to get up, but he was instantly pressed down by the golden lotus seat under Lu Zhou’s feet.
Boom!
Zui Can sank 300 feet into the ground.
Zui Can’s tenacity amazed everyone. After all, he was just a great divine king. They did not know what Lu Zhou’s cultivation was, but they knew Zui Can was one of the few strongest divine kings who could hold his ground against a divine emperor.
Lu Zhou looked at Zui Can as he began to move his hands swiftly.
At the same time, runes began to appear in the air.
The runes belonged to a sealing technique.
Zui Can continued throwing up blood. He could no longer resist. He looked at the golden lotus and the runes dancing in the sky. He tried to wave the runes away, but it was futile. He could feel his cultivation slipping away and his lifespan decreasing. Soon enough, he felt as though his soul was being pulled out of his body that was riddled with injuries. Blood stained his face, neck, and body as the runes fell on him one after another.
Each of the runes fell accurately on his glabella, the bridge of his nose, his eyes, his chin, and his chest. They continued to fall, firmly imprisoning him.
Zui Can stopped moving.
Grand Mystic Mountain had been quiet for 100,000 years. In just a blink of an eye, Grand Mystic Mountain had changed and no longer resembled what it was before.
Zui Can’s mind went blank before scenes after scenes appeared in his mind. He saw an old man demonstrating Buddhist techniques and preaching about the essence of Buddhism. Memories from the distant past that he had not thought about for a long time surfaced in his mind from his heavy heart.
Zui Can’s blood continued to dye the ground of Grand Mystic Mountain red as he groaned. He coughed violently, choking on the blood surging out of his throat. He reached out with his blood-stained hand, trying to grab Lu Zhou, who was looking down at him. The figure of the old man in his mind overlapped with Lu Zhou at this moment.
Tears and blood mixed together as they streamed down Zui Can’s face. His eyes widened as he used all his might to say, “I’ll return… everything to you! We’re… even!”
Following that, Zui Can withdrew his outstretched hand and smacked his glabella.
Boom!
Zui Can’s divine soul pearl shattered, reducing his Birth Charts to dust.
