Chapter 815: Chapter 539: You’re Not Worthy
"Just a little more, and it will become supreme, transforming from a supreme divine skill into a supreme divine skill. I need to ponder carefully, simplify the complex, and reorganize all the techniques from the beginning."
The latest spear strike was not a killing move.
Just an ordinary technique.
The Fourteenth Style: Life is like a bubble.
As a domain-type skill, it can also transform into the Heavenly King’s Realm, becoming the fourth variation, mainly for control.
With a thought, the realm descends.
A dreamlike, brilliant world emerges out of nowhere.
Lu Chenzhou, like the master of dreams, overlooks the human world.
"Normally, the diameter of a mid-stage Heavenly King’s Realm is 30 kilometers, but this move covers over a hundred kilometers—a vast range. Any Demon Emperor caught within is doomed to die.
Some Demon Venerables with only cultivation but lacking firm willpower will also be affected, giving me precious opportunities for attack."
...
Afterwards, time slipped away.
Lu Chenzhou continued to deduce the supreme divine skill.
That day.
His Lighting Order buzzed to life.
The projection of a youth in a purple Daoist robe appeared.
His face was anxious.
[Brother Lu, Jiang City is under attack, requesting assistance.]
In the projected image, the silhouettes of two Demon Emperors could be faintly seen. One was a twelve-armed snake demon reaching the heavens and the earth, the other resembling a black panther, with wings on its back, wind and thunder surging.
"Right away."
Lu Chenzhou immediately stood up,
Murderous intent seeped from between his brows.
"They clearly know I sit in Yun Meng, yet Mo Yun still dares come. Seems he is quite confident in his own speed."
...
At the same time.
Jiang City.
The Qingtian Demon Emperor gripped a giant axe, standing on the clouds like Pangu, swinging the axe down like Mount Everest piercing from heaven.
Rumble rumble.
The entire sixth-rank array trembled.
Outside the array, the land within a hundred li cracked open.
"Qingtian, prepare to die!"
A burly figure wielding a big spear leapt before the Qingtian Demon Emperor, dazzling radiance enshrouded with thunder and lightning.
Chu Yu rose to meet the enemy.
"You’re no match for me."
The giant axe and the long spear clashed.
Chu Yu was shaken underground.
He tensed inwardly. Though it’s also Entering Dao-level Power Extreme Dao, in direct confrontation, Qingtian Demon Emperor totally overwhelmed him; the twelve-armed snake demon bloodline truly is extraordinary.
Although Chu Yu liked close combat,
he had no choice but to change tactics.
He needed to think of ways to stall for time.
"Daoist Soldiers and Daoist friends like Lu have already set out. I just need to hold on for a quarter hour." He revealed his dharma form, the Law Realm descended, unleashing his full power, not daring to slacken the slightest.
Szzzt——
From the shadows, another surge of Six Realm aura descended, a withered, skinny Shadow Kill Clan powerhouse.
With the Qingtian Demon Emperor present, there must be support from the Shadow Kill Clan. He would have to fight two alone—this was the ultimate challenge.
On the other side, Zi Long Daoist was also locked in battle with Mo Yun Demon Emperor to protect the array. He’d seen this kind of attack before, so he wasn’t too flustered.
Mo Yun Demon Emperor’s speed was astonishing, killing intent fierce, leopard claws and tail whip dominating Zi Long Daoist completely.
"A mere Middle Realm dares block me? You’d best hide inside the array—maybe then you’ll live a little longer."
Zi Long Daoist, refusing to show weakness, sneered, "Heh, wait till Lu Heavenly King arrives—you won’t be laughing then."
Lu Chenzhou was not at the Absolute Peak,
had never even acted officially since returning to the human world.
But a person’s fame precedes them.
Lu Chenzhou had the most renowned battle records.
Especially with the Wanbang Council constantly hyping him up. His deterrence was no weaker than the top ten Heavenly Persons. Thus, Yun Meng District was rarely attacked.
Mo Yun Demon Emperor just snorted at this.
"If I dare come, of course I have a trump card. The Lu Chenzhou you’re counting on could very well be dead already."
Zi Long Daoist’s expression changed slightly.
According to Mo Yun Demon Emperor’s tone,
was this not just routine harassment this time?
The Demon Palace seemed to be planning something big.
And Lu Chenzhou himself was the target.
He suspected, the enemies might even be luring Lu Chenzhou here deliberately, and attacking Jiang City was just bait.
Now locked in bitter battle, he couldn’t contact Lu Chenzhou again and could only pin hope on the approaching Daoist Soldiers.
Though they were puppets,
they were Seventh Rank after all,
they should be able to smash any enemy plot.
...
Nameless Planet.
After a period of recovery,
The toad monster readied himself again.
"Last time I underestimated Lu Chenzhou, still holding on to luck—no pain, no gain. This time I’ll burn up a third of my remaining lifespan to curse.
Below Heavenly King, a mid-level curse means certain death. For an ordinary Heavenly King, there’s a ninety percent probability for a successful curse-kill; even for a Heavenly Realm powerhouse, there’s a twenty percent chance for instant death by my curse!
This time I’m confident I can pierce through the world’s fate protection. Lu Chenzhou’s cultivation cannot possibly withstand it.
Barring accidents, he should be on his way to aid Jiang City now, likely without any big figure’s protection nearby—planned with full intent, he must die this time!"
Honestly, You Tong Demon Venerable was a bit hesitant.
Three hundred years of lifespan,
for a demon it wasn’t trivial, but Lord Toad promised he’d receive a Seventh Rank longevity treasure on success,
making up for it.
He took a deep breath.
Searching for the causality line of Bai Miaomiao.
"Huh, it’s broken?"
Then, he understood.
"It must have been when I used her as the medium to cast the curse, dueling Lu Chenzhou across space, and she was collateral."
Just a Grandmaster, too weak.
Once a person dies, it’s all over.
The causality disappears too.
"No matter, as a human, Lu Chenzhou has countless causality lines, and as a genius, even more."
The toad fiend placed his hand on the crystal ball.
He muttered incantations, his body visibly withering, life force waning, aura turning unstable.
Three hundred years was his absolute limit.
Any more, and he’d fall back to the Demon Emperor Realm.
"Die!"
The toad fiend spat essence blood,
spraying it onto the crystal ball.
An overwhelmingly greater causal curse energy than before followed the causality line, descending instantly on the target at the other end.
One breath.
Two breaths.
...
Ten breaths later, the toad fiend was stunned in place.
"Lu Chenzhou’s causality line hasn’t broken."
Not dead, even with this?
Bad luck...
The toad fiend’s vision went black and he fainted again.
A moment later,
Lord Toad’s projection appeared, brow furrowed tightly.
"Failed again?"
...
Buzz! A thunder phoenix streaked across the world—situation critical, Lu Chenzhou was using every means possible.
Lightning Dao,
Southern Dipper Phoenix Fist,
Kun Character Technique.
Triple acceleration, nine hundred times the speed of sound, tearing heaven and earth. In a minute, he crossed tens of thousands of li; in just two minutes, he sensed the battle ripples ahead.
Lu Chenzhou let out a breath of relief.
"Made it in time. Once reaches its limit, I could hit one percent lightspeed. Though the human world is vast, anywhere could be reached in an instant—light-speed support."
Meanwhile,
Mo Yun Demon Emperor’s face changed slightly.
A terrifying aura was rapidly approaching.
"That fast?"
He was dumbfounded.
By his estimate, the speed of Fourth Rank Lightning Dao, at full power, should be three hundred times the speed of sound.
That was already crazy fast.
Unbeknownst to him, Lu Chenzhou had long inherited the Aurora Empress’s legacy and even created his own Phoenix Fist.
The combined buffs were no less than Lightning Demon Venerable’s.
Ordinary Seventh Realms would be totally outmatched.
Zi Long Daoist’s face lit up with joy.
"Hahaha! Brother Lu, lend me a hand!"
He could finally relax.
He thought maybe the enemy had intercepted Lu Chenzhou.
Turns out, it was just a bluff.
"Mo Yun, what’s going on?! Didn’t you say Lu Chenzhou would arrive in five minutes?" Qingtian Demon Emperor’s face changed dramatically as he, together with the Shadow Kill Clan powerhouse, besieged Chu Yu.
A few more minutes and he could have seriously injured Chu Yu, then broken the array and destroyed the city—a perfect plan.
Mo Yun Demon Emperor was also baffled.
"How should I know? The situation’s changed—retreat! Didn’t You Tong say there was an eighty percent success rate?"
He had thought,
You Tong could curse Lu Chenzhou to death.
At the very least, seriously wound him.
But this one’s aura burned as grand as the great sun—
no sign of being injured at all.
That curse path sure is unreliable...
"Qingtian, let’s go!" The Shadow Kill Clan powerhouse turned to black smoke, bringing Qingtian Demon Emperor into the shadows in an instant.
Mo Yun Demon Emperor’s wind and thunder surged as he shook Zi Long Daoist away, turning into a streak of lightning, fleeing in the opposite direction.
Chu Yu, covered in wounds, knelt on the ground.
Big spear planted beside him, gasping heavily.
Half his arm had been chopped off.
Demon energy clung to it, preventing it from healing.
"Are you alright?"
"I’m alright, thank you for the rescue."
Lu Chenzhou activated the Eye of Calamity, seeing a new causality line forming between Zi Long Daoist and Mo Yun Demon Emperor.
"This freshly-formed causality line isn’t yet tangled—using it to track may be a good trick."
He followed the causality line, pursuing rapidly.
Compared to Qingtian Demon Emperor, Mo Yun was even more troublesome.
Today, you must die!
"Brother Lu, don’t chase—don’t fall into their trap!"
Zi Long Daoist sent a voice transmission.
But Lu Chenzhou already dashed far away.
Not long after,
Lu Chenzhou had already spotted the electric light ahead.
A black panther with twin wings was running desperately.
Mo Yun Demon Emperor was panic-stricken.
"How can he be so fast?"
He’d been chased by Seventh Realms before.
Ordinary Seventh Realm, he was not afraid.
The problem was, Lu Chenzhou was far faster than any Seventh Realm.
"This isn’t a Fourth Rank Lightning Dao at all."
The intel screwed me!
Mo Yun Demon Emperor cursed inwardly.
Terrifying killing intent gathered behind him.
Mo Yun Demon Emperor burned his essence blood, using every desperate secret technique, turning himself into a streak of blood-colored lightning.
But, it was of no use.
Lu Chenzhou was still coming closer and closer.
In a flash,
man and panther chased for tens of thousands of li.
Mo Yun Demon Emperor stopped in his tracks.
"Do you really want a fight to the death? You are a genius too—why struggle like this? Spare me, and I swear never to harass Su City again—how about it?"
As soon as he finished, his wings beat, wind and thunder gathered, his slim body solidifying into a thunder spear.
The spear, a thousand zhang long, shone with dazzling white light, turning night into day, ripping open the void, stabbing at Lu Chenzhou.
This strike’s power was on par with a peak Demon Emperor.
This was Mo Yun Demon Emperor’s do-or-die killing move.
Before this, he never had the chance to use it.
No one had ever driven him to desperation.
When the thunder spear struck and exploded, over five million tripods’ worth of energy level was unleashed, engulfing Lu Chenzhou within.
Like a purple sun.
After ten breaths,
The thunder magma faded.
Mo Yun Demon Emperor was picked up on a big spear, Lu Chenzhou flicked it, tearing him in two, the long spear dancing wildly.
Chunks of flesh rained down from the sky.
With a casual gesture, Mo Yun Demon Emperor’s soul was captured.
Despair filled his face.
The Lu Chenzhou before him shone in golden armor. All his attacks hadn’t shaken him in the slightest.
The dignified Four Emperors, now fallen.
Lu Chenzhou, still craving more, said:
"Haven’t had a good fight in ages. Was hoping for a decent warmup—turns out, you were so worthless, one stab and you’re dead."
