Chapter 933: Chapter 653: Suppressing the Three World Venerables
"Is that the Mystic Sky Alliance Master?"
"So young."
"Is he really only a hundred years old? To achieve the Eighth Realm within a hundred years, I wouldn’t dare even dream of such a thing."
The warriors of the Sea Dominating Royal Family saw hope.
Wan Shui Venerable Sovereign said loudly:
"Thank you for your righteous intervention, Alliance Master."
Lu Chenzhou clasped his fists and said:
"Venturing alone into the Flame Bright Realm to buy time for the Mystic Sky Alliance, you are indeed a person who recognizes the broader situation. Whether you join the Mystic Sky Alliance or not, you are our friend."
He then looked at the Three World Venerables with a smile and said:
"Knowing that I, the alliance master, would come, yet you dare resist here until now. It seems the three of you have great confidence in preserving your lives. Understandable, the three of you have come with clones; your true selves are still hidden within your worlds, so even if you die here, surely you won’t feel the loss, right?"
Gale World Venerable laughed heartily:
"Lu Chenzhou, your Mystic Sky Alliance has many people and great power. We admit we’re not a match for you, but do you think you can keep us here? Such arrogant words!"
"Ignorant youth!"
"Wan Shui Realm is doomed. No one can save him, not even those who dare challenge my Divine Artifact first!"
Thunder Realm Venerable grasped a phantom purple Qiu Wood Magic Staff, the projection of the Clan’s Sacred Artifact·Thunder God Staff, possessing an unpredictable divine might.
This is what the Three World Venerables rely on.
With the Divine Artifact projection by their side, even if they can’t win in a fight, if they want to leave, no one can stop them?
"Alliance Master, the strength of these Three World Venerables’ clones is average, just at the standard of an old-school first step, but with the Divine Artifact projection, they’re tougher than those at the second step."
Spirit Phoenix Dominator said through spiritual communication.
This Divine Artifact, indeed a notch stronger than the Supreme Treasures of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, even if it’s just a projection.
Gods, high and mighty.
Facing them alone evokes instinctual fear.
Lu Chenzhou said: "Everyone cooperate to blockade the entire Wan Shui Realm so I can take them on; I’ve been itching for a challenge."
Middle Stage of Eighth Realm + Seventh Rank Dao.
He’s curious how strong he really is.
So far, he hasn’t met a fitting opponent; all have been easily slain, not even allowing him to warm up.
"Alliance Master, you’re taking on three of them?"
The bald giant’s eyes shook.
This is beyond bold; even truly at the third step wouldn’t dare face the Three World Venerables alone?
Lu Chenzhou said no more, stepping onto the battlefield with tiger-like eyes scanning the three Venerables.
"Do you wish to fight in succession, or all at once? Though it’s just a matter of dying sooner or later."
His words were full of provocation.
The members of the Divine Alliance were known for their tempers.
"Let me have a go first! Just right for avenging my son." Xuanshan Venerable jumped out directly.
The other two Venerables hurriedly stopped him.
"Together!"
"Hehe, this lad is so arrogant; he must have never witnessed the might of a Divine Artifact before. When he lets his guard down, we’ll use our thunderous methods to kill him."
War speaks only of results.
On the other side, the Mystic Sky Alliance’s Eighth Realm experts also seized the chance to recover their strength, ready to join the battle at any moment.
Although they trust the alliance master’s strength, war isn’t child’s play. If the alliance master showed any sign of regression, they’d swarm him, ganging up on the enemy.
"Better altogether; saves time."
In Lu Chenzhou’s palm emerged an azure wooden staff, acquired from the tree core of the Great Saint Gao Liu.
"Where is your Divine Weapon?"
"To kill you, this stick suffices."
"Die!"
Xuanshan Venerable made the first move, revealing his true form as a God Clan member towering over a hundred miles, wielding the ancient stone pillar’s phantom as he swung it at Lu Chenzhou.
Divine Artifact·God Beating Stick.
This weapon was once used by the Stone Clan ancestors, reportedly forged from countless stars.
"This stick can beat Gods; what does your Undying Body matter?"
The stick fell, clashing with Lu Chenzhou’s azure spear shaft, which constantly vibrated to unload the force, shattering the surrounding space-time. The God Beating Stick was repelled by an opposing force. Xuanshan Venerable trembled and retreated.
"Is this wooden stick a Miracle Treasure? Otherwise, even a Middle Grade Spiritual Weapon at the eighth rank would have cracked."
His eyes flickered with uncertainty.
"Unexpectedly, it can withstand the Divine Artifact projection. This old tree stick is indeed useful."
Lu Chenzhou’s heart was genuinely delighted.
Beneath Demigods, the wooden stick is entirely sufficient for battle, possibly suitable for forging a proper Big Spear.
"Thunder God Torrent!"
"Gale Divine Arrow!"
As Lu Chenzhou and Xuanshan Venerable clashed, Thunder Realm Venerable and Split Wind Realm Venerable’s offenses simultaneously struck. One focuses on extreme slaughter, akin to a Mage; the other, similar to a Ranger, wins by speed. Xuanshan Venerable is a typical tank.
Their coordination was seamless.
Thunder crashed down,
Arrows pierced the space.
Lu Chenzhou was engulfed, extreme explosions illuminating Ruins Sea, with the aftermath even shaking Wan Shui Realm.
"Watch out, he has an Undying Body, surely not dead. Don’t be negligent." Split Wind Realm Venerable said while drawing his bow and notching an arrow, the Wind God Bow constantly gathering the wind power from the heavens and earth, aiming directly ahead.
"Heh, I think he’s dead. Our Divine Artifact projections inherently contain traces of remaining Divine Power, so even an Undying Body won’t make it."
Thunder Realm Venerable laughed.
"We started off by using our deadly moves from the Third Step, which would result in death or severe injury. This Lu Chenzhou is too arrogant. Does he really think he can take on the power of three in front of the Three Thousand Worlds just for show?"
Xuanshan Venerable said.
Buzz!
Suddenly, an invisible wave swept through, passing over the Three World Venerables. When they opened their eyes, they found themselves in an unfamiliar place.
"Where is this?"
"Could it be some kind of domain?"
"Break everything with sheer force! We must quickly use our Clan’s Sacred Artifact power to blast Lu Chenzhou out."
The Thunder God Staff, Wind God Bow, and God Beating Stick emitted radiant light, transforming into a Purple Beard-like translucent jellyfish giant beast, a twenty-four-winged creature resembling both a bird and a fish, and a four-legged beast with dragon horns and a horse head.
God of Thunder Marsh,
The cause,
Gou Chen!
The three Venerables unleashed their full power from the start, holding back nothing. At this moment, they summoned the projections of the three Divine Artifact Spirits, converging their divine might into a world-destroying windstorm and sandstorm, causing cracks to spread across the heavens and earth.
"Is this the power of the Divine Artifacts?"
Suddenly, a figure in white robes descended, stepping forward unwaveringly. With a simple gesture of his hands, the storm and sand retreated to the sides by an invisible rule.
It was as if he was the master of this world.
Everything followed his will.
"No... this, this isn’t an ordinary domain, it’s a real world, one that emerges at a single thought, a technique of a demigod. How could this be?"
Xuanshan Venerable’s face changed drastically.
The other two Venerables were equally stunned.
Lu Chenzhou, a great power?
Just stop fighting. It’s better to surrender.
"Don’t panic! He can’t possibly be a great power; to become one, he has to traverse the myriad tribulations of the Dao, complete the assessments of the Dao, and endure various calamities. Such an event would be perceptible to the strong throughout the Great Universe... Remember, his domain is of the World Dao; he might be able to create a real world without becoming a great power." Gale Realm Venerable tried to calm himself down, pondering a way to escape.
Bang, bang, bang!
Once again, the projections of three giant beasts stormed forward with wind and sand. Lu Chenzhou wielded a wooden staff, thrusting it fiercely through Gou Chen’s belly.
"Nine Tribulation Lotus!"
Rumble! One by one, Divine Lotuses bloomed from Gou Chen’s wound, and the explosive shock waves tore it apart.
Crack— Xuanshan Venerable gazed at the shattered projection of the God Beating Stick in his hand, dumbfounded.
"Even a Third Step powerhouse finds it difficult to shatter our Divine Artifact projections. In this real world, Lu Chenzhou’s strength is amplified."
"We must escape!"
"No wonder he dared to challenge the three of us."
The Venerables panicked.
If they had known Lu Chenzhou possessed such near-great power techniques, they would have fled long before his arrival, avoiding direct confrontation.
"All of you, stay here."
Lu Chenzhou disappeared and reappeared like a ghost behind Xuanshan Venerable, striking down fiercely with the wooden staff.
"Xuanshan, watch out!"
Thunder Realm Venerable was about to use the Thunder God Staff to cast a supporting spell, when he found himself suddenly bound by billions of black willow branches.
Wood Dao Divine Power·Ten Thousand Willow Entanglement.
Upon casting, it was enough to momentarily immobilize a Third Step powerhouse. It was a twenty-seven-patterned divine ability.
A skill of the Great Saint Gao Liu.
Seized by Lu Chenzhou.
"Damn it, I can’t move."
Thunder Realm Venerable found not only his body but also his thoughts and consciousness momentarily trapped.
Gale Realm Venerable drew his bow and shot an arrow, infusing half of his divine power into the strike, which fiercely approached Lu Chenzhou.
Even the real world seemed about to be torn apart.
Lu Chenzhou did not dodge, and behind him emerged a blood-red, eerie round moon. As the arrow entered the moon, it seemed to enter another dimension and disappeared mysteriously. Meanwhile, Thunder Realm Venerable, who had just broken free, was horrified to find that a similar round moon had emerged above him, from where a world-shattering arrow shot toward him.
This was the Blood Demon Granny Bloodline Divine Power.
Blood Moon Teleportation!
Also twenty-seven-patterned, it was a wondrous method that combined the Blood Moon and Space Dao, capable of redirecting the enemy’s attack to another location.
"Gale, you betrayed me!"
Thunder Realm Venerable, in a hurry, didn’t even have time to transform into thunder before he was pierced by the Wind Arrow. His Low Grade Eighth Rank Treasure Armor cracked inch by inch.
Fortunately, the armor protected him. Despite being gravely injured, he survived and transformed into thunder to escape far away.
Meanwhile, Xuanshan Venerable was facing a barrage of spear skill attacks from Lu Chenzhou like a violent storm, with the wooden staff relentlessly pounding against his body, which was comparable to a Middle Grade Eighth Rank Spiritual Weapon, causing cracks to appear.
"Alliance Hierarch Lu, stop! If you spare this clone of mine, I am willing to withdraw from the Divine Alliance and compensate you with 1,000 High Grade Primordial Stones. I will remain neutral from here on, never interfering in the Mystic Sky battles! You must know, a Divine Artifact’s projection can only exert a fraction of its main body’s power. If I were to have the actual Divine Artifact in action, none under a great power could resist it!"
Xuanshan Venerable quietly transmitted his thoughts to Lu Chenzhou.
"If you truly had this ability, would I, Lu Chenzhou, still be alive now? Die!"
Lu Chenzhou paid no heed, and after a series of eighteen strikes, eighteen Divine Lotuses magnificently descended, encircling Xuanshan Venerable and then obliterating him.
"Then let us die together!" Xuanshan Venerable chose to self-destruct. The terrifying shockwaves opened a gap in the divine lotus, and a yellowish-brown light flew outward.
Amid the struggle of the three Venerables, the real world cage that Lu Chenzhou had created broke apart, yet the yellowish-brown light didn’t travel far before being frozen in place by an Ice Soul Mysterious Light cast by Spirit Phoenix Dominator.
It was the split soul of Xuanshan Venerable.
"Spirit Phoenix! How dare you kill me?"
"Let me go!" Over on another side, Thunder Realm Venerable couldn’t escape either, as a bald giant pinned him against the Dragon Palace with an axe, face twisted in agonizing pain.
