Chapter 1011: Chapter 1011
The power of this strike made even the Dragon King’s eyes narrow.
He also knew that Lu Chenzhou’s Divine Lotus power would gain an extra petal with each new Dao.
But the prerequisite was at least a Sixth Rank Dao, which is the minimum standard for the Heavenly Realm to condense; a Dao of too low a level is useless.
This meant that Lu Chenzhou had already mastered over three hundred types of Sixth Rank Dao.
This kid is truly a monster, the Dragon King marveled.
The Divine Lotus had yet to dissipate when a thick stream of poisonous breath, like a black light, shot through and exploded on Lu Chenzhou’s body.
In an instant, Lu Chenzhou’s form was melted into nothingness, dissipating into infinite dust particles.
The serpent emerged from the Divine Lotus, gazing at the new, gruesome wounds on its body, staring gravely into the void.
"To think you actually wounded me, it seems you’ve prepared well this time... Stop hiding, I know you’re not dead, Lu Chenzhou."
Buzz! Lu Chenzhou’s form reappeared behind the serpent, launching another sneak attack with a spear.
This time, being prepared, the Holy Lord compressed the surrounding poisonous mist, forming a slender Dragon Scale Armor.
It charged out of the Divine Lotus, Dragon Scales shooting out like a storm of pear blossom needles, covering the sky.
Lu Chenzhou dodged extremely quickly, yet was still penetrated like a sieve, with the essence of the Poisonous Dao invading his body, seemingly trying to prevent his Immortal Body.
But eventually, he still healed, leaving the Holy Lord somewhat desperate.
"Damn it... Without the Immortal Body, I have a hundred ways to kill him," the Holy Lord was furious inside.
Its attacks were undeniably strong; even a so-called top-level Demigod like the Demon Lord couldn’t last ten rounds before it.
It once killed Lu Chenzhou’s master, the Elder Yuan Mountain, with just one move.
Seeing that the Holy Lord’s attacks couldn’t affect him, Lu Chenzhou felt slightly relieved.
The repute of the Immortal Body was great, but before actual combat with a True God, the result was unknown.
Now he had confidence, turning from a defense-focused to an attack-focused spear technique.
Against a True God, defense was of little use.
Even strong things like the Mystic Sky Shield would shatter instantly.
It’s better to rely on the Immortal Body, attack wildly, and fight desperately to drain its divine power and create opportunities for the Five Elements Annihilation Array.
Lotus blossoms continued to bloom along the Dao, while the serpent writhed and danced among them.
The Dragon King’s fist fell from the sky, like stars descending, unstoppable.
Heaven and Earth, the Holy Lord had nowhere to escape.
In the High Tower Divine Country, the gods were watching this battle with tension.
"What’s wrong with the Holy Lord? Already on the back foot at the start, is His hard power really not comparable to Lu Chenzhou?" Blood God looked grim.
"Waste, waste... trampled by a newly risen Great Power, whoever chose Him must have a hole in their head," Lord Toad said coldly.
"It’s utterly humiliated the True God’s face, I’m furious." Even Death God felt unsettled.
Even now, some divine beings believed the Holy Lord was too weak, thinking they wouldn’t be so embarrassed in His place.
The Old Mother said, "Don’t rush, the war has just begun. The Holy Lord has just recovered His divine power and needs an adaptation period."
Witch Master said, "The Immortal Body is indeed troublesome... But the Holy Lord wouldn’t be entirely helpless against Lu Chenzhou."
The Holy Lord is a Primordial Being, at the same level as Lord Toad. However, compared to the Causality Dao, the Poisonous Dao seems too ordinary, making the Holy Lord appear weaker, but Primordial Beings were born from the Heaven and Earth Creation, possessing one common feature, and that is a strong fleshly body that is naturally undying.
Although not as immortal as Lu Chenzhou, with His True God body, Lu Chenzhou and they couldn’t kill the Holy Lord in a short time.
This could create a stalemate, waiting for them to emerge.
Swoosh! A spear fiercely tore through the void, with the essence of the Void Breaking Dao surging, stabbing directly into the serpent’s scale armor.
Lu Chenzhou’s Star-picking and Moon-taking Mountain-moving Power erupted, nearly severing the Holy Lord’s snakish head to the bone.
Finally, the Holy Lord whipped its tail, blasting him away.
The Holy Lord drooped its head, divine power flowing to restore it to normal.
Its aura weakened slightly, which Lu Chenzhou keenly noticed.
"So even gods can die," Lu Chenzhou chuckled.
"Such a serious wound, the last time was during the Divine War, when I accidentally got a scar from a dying counterattack by the War Emperor."
The Holy Lord raised its chin, revealing a hideous scrape marked with the indomitable will of a warrior, immortal through the ages.
This powerful will kept the Holy Lord’s wound from healing for a long time.
After all this time, Lu Chenzhou could still sense the faint essence of Dao unique to the War Emperor along the wound.
Through this essence, Lu Chenzhou saw the scene of the War Emperor and Holy Lord battling on the Great Wilderness battlefield.
"Serpent, dare to kill Yuan Mountain! Prepare for death!" A man adorned in Mystic Armor, wielding a long staff, stood beneath the sky full of poisonous clouds.
"What Great Power, I can spit you to death with one mouthful of saliva," the serpent laughed arrogantly.
In the distance, a corpse emitting golden light was dimming, vaguely resembling an aged ape.
"Sect Master, withdraw, this beast’s power is incomparable to ordinary divine beings; we are not its match."
"We can’t withdraw anymore, we’ve already been defeated..." The man’s calm tone was laced with an infinite and frenzied unwillingness. "Just now, the Golden Crow Emperor has fallen; the Emperor was the only one who could directly contend with the Witch. Mu Xing betrayed the Emperor; it was all His doing."
The Mystic Armored man fought with madness.
The ape, whose breath was as thin as silk, was taken aback, then hopelessly smiled bitterly, "No wonder after every hard-earned victory, we face an even greater defeat... The dignified Star Lord Si Chen became a traitor, alas, I’ll be going first, what a pity, what a pity."
Yuan Mountain fell, his body unable to resist the severe poison any longer, turning into a pool of toxic water.
In the chaos of the War Emperor and Holy Lord’s battle, beams of treasure light shot to the sky, disappearing into the Three Thousand Worlds.
The battle between Emperor Zhan and the Holy Lord went on for an unknown duration, yet the Holy Lord couldn’t kill Emperor Zhan.
"An immortal body... You have actually mastered the immortal body?"
The Holy Lord looked at the man in mystic armor, whom he had obliterated and resurrected, his face filled with disbelief.
The world believed that the three Dragon Kings and the Dragon Emperor were immortals, not knowing there was also Emperor Zhan.
"Immortality is of no difficulty to me," Emperor Zhan’s spirit soared to the skies.
Suddenly, Emperor Zhan’s face turned ashen, his body became pitted and swelled as if inflated.
An indescribable attack descended from beyond the Nine Heavens, affecting his flesh, soul, and even his will.
At the brink of death, Emperor Zhan unleashed all his power, burning himself, thrusting a staff towards the Nine Heavens.
The entire universe seemed to be torn in half by this strike, yet the handsome man from beyond the heavens simply let the strike pass by, unharmed.
In contrast, the serpent was pierced through its lower jaw, flesh surging, howling in agony as it fell to the ground.
Emperor Zhan took his own life, leaving nothing behind, not even his accompanying supreme treasure, the war soldier.
The handsome man was Lord Toad.
In a fleeting glance, Lu Chenzhou saw a scene of the ancient divine war in the Dao Essence remaining in the Holy Lord’s wounds.
Some parts were as he knew, but he hadn’t realized that Emperor Zhan was also an immortal.
Emperor Zhan wasn’t slain by the Holy Lord but took his own life in the face of death threatened by Lord Toad’s causality curse.
The treasure lights escaping from the ape’s side were likely supreme treasures like the Star-fixing Divine Pillar, carrying the legacy away to find Mr. Turtle.
Before Yuan Mountain’s last stand, some other Great Saints were brought along, but not the senior brother.
Senior Brother, with longevity equal to heaven, found no value in dying in an inevitable battle, opting to extend the legacy instead.
Of course, the most crucial information is related to the existence called "Mu Xing," or "Star Lord Si Chen."
The Divine Court had nine top-level gods, commonly referred to as the "Great Gods" by all beings.
Lu Chenzhou knew eight, but the last one, despite searching every historical material unearthed from the ruins, was untraceable.
Not even Senior Brother knew.
Even the hints given by the will of the Xia Realm did not mention this person.
It’s as if someone erased all traces related to themselves from the long river of the Great Universe’s history.
Lu Chenzhou now speculates it was Star Lord Si Chen, as he, being one of the Divine Court’s nine leaders, betrayed the Divine Court.
He led the stars to the Great Wilderness and secretly bought some gods, betraying at the critical moment of the war.
The contradictions among the divine beings during the Divine War might have been influenced by him.
In short, Star Lord Si Chen’s betrayal of the Golden Crow Emperor became the last straw that broke the Divine Court.
The Divine Court, which once held the home-ground advantage, was defeated completely, able only to destroy the stars and gods, sealed off, using fallback plans for resistance.
Now, Lu Chenzhou’s greatest confusion is whether this traitor has fallen, or is still one among the stars and gods.
Or is he still hidden behind the scenes of history, silently observing, plotting some conspiracy?
Unintentionally learning the truth, Lu Chenzhou felt a chill, perceiving the Holy Lord before him as somewhat innocuous.
He temporarily suppressed these thoughts; dealing with the Holy Lord was the current pressing matter. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI-Fire.ɴet
As time flew by, five years passed swiftly.
Under the Dao, the multitude of beings remained ignorant, as the divine war erupted in a realm beyond their sight.
Lu Qianfan, now a young boy, had officially entered the ranks of Martial Artists.
He was in the training ground, sparring in fist techniques with a mischievous young girl.
Knocked down repeatedly, he stood up time and again.
The girl said, "Little Qianfan, you’re no match for me, better train for a few more years."
Being the Ancient Emperor of Blue Mountain, she naturally knew Qianfan was Lu Chenzhou’s son.
Inwardly, she was filled with emotion and sighed; as expected of the first genius’s child, if not for her being a reincarnated body, she couldn’t compare to such talent.
Qianfan was covered in wounds, yet was indifferent, smiling, "Sister Xiaolan, have you made a breakthrough to the second level?"
"Yes," Lu Xiaolan replied.
In the distance, the Yaochi Immortal watched the "childhood sweethearts," feeling joyful yet worried about the battle in the heavens.
"Lu Chenzhou, you must come back."
In the Water Mansion, the Water Spirit and various great powers were closely monitoring the battle.
"Indeed, it seems Chenzhou hasn’t been slack in his cultivation recently; his strength is far beyond my expectations as the Holy Lord is being suppressed,"
the Water Spirit said, her face filled with hope.
"The immortal body can truly withstand divine attacks without dying; it’s incredibly powerful."
Kunxu was shocked beyond words.
He was also of great power, but the Holy Lord could whip him to death with a single strike of his tail.
"Once the Holy Lord’s trump cards are almost exhausted, we can use the Five Elements Annihilation Array to annihilate him in one go,"
said Mr. Turtle, stroking his beard with a smile. The Five Elements Annihilation Array was beyond the scope of ordinary great arrays.
It was used by the gods of the Divine Court, with the least, the array host needed to be a demigod and required five pieces of the Five Elements True Divine Artifact.
More than ten Evil Gods of Stars had perished to this array.
This was now their greatest trump card.
