Chapter 846: 846

Chapter 846: Tens of Thousands of Swords Piercing the Heart

The speed of a Ten-leaf elite was something the others could only watch helplessly.

As Lu Zhou dove, he pushed his palm out. A palm seal shot out and grabbed the life heart like a dragon’s claws. After retrieving the life heart, he inspected it for a moment and confirmed it was the Yong’s life heart before he put it away in the pocket near his chest.

Although Mo Buyan and Jian Tingzhong’s hearts had been cleanly pierced by the arrows and they were still falling from the sky, Lu Zhou had to receive the notifications of their deaths.

When the duo landed on the ground, he brought out the Golden Taixu Mirror again and shone it on them, but it did not show anything strange.

He was still mulling over this matter when the notification finally arrived.

“Ding! Killed a target. Obtained 1,500 merit points, Domain bonus 1,000 points.”

“Ding! Killed a target. Obtained 1,500 merit points. Domain bonus 1,000 points.”

“Ding! Obtained the Dragon Eagle’s Fury and the Flash Hook. Do you wish to retrieve them?”

“Retrieve them.”

The two weapons flew towards Lu Zhou’s hand.

Once a weapon reached the earth-grade, it would be able to recognize its master. If the bond between the owner and the weapon were strong, the owner would be able to wield it to its full potential. After reaching the heaven-grade, the weapon’s strength would increase tremendously and gain the ability to break barriers. When it reached the desolate-grade, one could freely manipulate its size and shape.

Since Lu Zhou obtained this weapon from the system, he did not need to manipulate its size to store it. He really did not expect the two elders to possess desolate-grade weapons. The trip here was a huge win for him!

Following that, Lu Zhou returned to the top of the valley and looked down.

Lu Zhou turned around and flew towards the direction of the canyon.

The cultivators from the Void Sect and the True Kunlun Sect had retreated dozens of meters away when they saw Lu Zhou. Chills ran up their spines, and they wished they could turn tail and flee.

The Sky Wheel Rift Valley was as silent as a graveyard at this moment.

The cultivators around the mountain range rose up into the sky to watch from afar. None of them dared to move closer. All in all, there were almost 1,000 cultivators in the sky.

On the other hand, the number of cultivators on land was even more numerous. There were almost a thousand of these cultivators altogether.

Lu Zhou did not pay attention to the others; he kept his eyes trained on Yu Chenshu. He was certain Yu Chenshu was not dead, after all.

Bang!

At the moment, the Confinement Seal flew up, stirring up debris.

“Yu Chenshu’s alive!”

“The victor is uncertain! This is too exciting!”

The cultivators hovering nearby were now more like movie-goers, here to watch a show. They seemed to no longer care about obtaining treasures. All of them were curious as to who would emerge victorious.

When the flood-grade Confinement Seal rushed toward Lu Zhou, he pushed his hand out again.

A huge palm seal appeared, blocking the Confinement Seal.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Thunderous noises rang in the air as the Confinement Seal rammed against the golden palm seal, trying to break it.

Boom!

Yu Chenshu leaped out suddenly at lightning speed. Compared to earlier when he was calm and in a pristine condition, he looked disheveled and was covered in dust at this moment. There was blood on his face, and blood stained his chest and torn robes. As he flew toward the Confinement Seal, he spread his arms.

Buzz!

Yu Chenshu manifested his avatar. This was the first time he manifested his avatar since the battle began. The 200-foot red lotus avatar was different in the sense that its red was different from the usual red lotus avatars. Instead, his avatar was the dark red of blood. The debris and rubble near him were sent flying by his energy as he flew.

Subsequently, Yu Chenshu raised his hand. The Black Dragon Spear that was lying on the ground flew into his hand immediately. He tightened his grip on the Black Dragon Spear as Primal Qi surged from his body. Then, he spat a mouthful of blood on the Black Dragon Spear. The bent spear trembled for a moment before it miraculously straightened itself out! Then, the inscriptions on the body of the spear lit up.

The cultivators watched in horror as they discussed among themselves.

“There are Dao inscriptions on the weapon?”

“What do you mean?”

“The Dao inscriptions are a large-scale array formation. They’re not dissimilar to city defense formation. To inscribe them on a weapon, it requires high forging skills and cultivation bases. There should be fire spirit stones in the spear as well. Coupled with the dao inscriptions, it will increase the strength of the flood-grade weapon for a short time…”

“Something like this is possible?” Everyone was surprised.

“Yes, but the price one has to pay is high as well. Fire spirit stones are originally used to improve the quality of weapons. However, if they are used in this way, it will damage the weapon. After the energy from the fire spirit stones is used up, the Black Dragon Spear will probably fall to the heaven-grade.”

“The Sky Martial Court is really… wealthy…”

“I don’t know how many weapons the Sky Martial Court had studied and forged back then. Apart from those we know of, I’m certain the others are all in Yu Chenshu’s possession.”

One of them looked at Yu Chenshu, who was burning with fighting spirit, and seemed to have thought of something. “It’s said that the most perfect weapon in the Sky Martial Court is called the Nine String Zither. Is it lost?”

“It should have been taken away by Luo Xuan. How could they lose such a treasure so easily? Unfortunately, no one has seen the Nine String Zither before and its ability is unknown.”

…

At this time, the Black Dragon Seal had completely repaired itself.

Lu Zhou wanted to take down the Confinement Seal, but it kept struggling.

Bang!

At this moment, the Confinement Seal increased in size again, finally crushing the palm seal.

Yu Chenshu wielded the boosted desolate-grade Black Dragon Spear with both hands and advanced toward Lu Zhou with the Confinement Seal.

Everyone cried out in surprise and held their breaths.

Red energy swirled in the sky but no one dared to blink, afraid of missing a shocking scene.

Lu Zhou brought Unnamed out again.

Yu Chenshu said coldly, “I won’t make the same mistake again.”

Lu Zhou manipulated Unnamed and turned it into a hammer.

Bzzzt!

The hammer was shrouded with energy and crashed heavily against the Black Dragon Spear.

Bang!

Red sparks flew when the weapons collided, creating a dazzling firework.

“A flood-grade hammer?”

The cultivators watching the battle gradually felt numb. Who knew how many treasures these two people possessed? In fact, it was probable that they had not even brought out their trump cards.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou looked up and saw the Confinement Seal falling toward him.

Lu Zhou used Unnamed, which was in the form of a hammer, to block Yu Chenshu’s attack. However, if he was restrained by the Confinement Seal, it would be troublesome.

Meanwhile, the Confinement Seal that was as huge as a tower continued to fall toward Lu Zhou.

“Avatar!”

Buzz!

A 200-foot golden karmic fire avatar appeared immediately.

Yu Chenshu was highly experienced in combat. He smirked upon seeing the avatar before he said, “I’ve been waiting for this moment!”

The Confinement Seal grew in size again. It was like an inescapable net.

It was not troublesome when the Confinement Seal was small. Now that it had grown in size, coupled with Yu Chenshu’s strong output of Primal Qi and red energy, a suction force had appeared, trying to pull Lu Zhou’s avatar in.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. He had to admit Yu Chenshu’s strength was also beyond his expectation.

Needless to say, both men’s strengths were beyond the spectator’s imagination as well.

Yu Chenshu’s eyes were bloodshot at this moment. He asked smugly, as though certain of his victory, “Do you dare to use the power of the Birth Chart?”

Under such circumstances, even if there were other Ten-leaf karmic fire users, they would not be a match for Yu Chenshu. Needless to say, Yu Chenshu was much stronger than Ye Zhen. The only thing he could not compare to Ye Zhen was his intelligence.

“Stupid!” Lu Zhou’s gaze turned cold immediately. He extended his right hand and Unnamed that was shrouded in energy flew back into his hand before it turned back into a sword.

“Who are you calling stupid? Let’s see how you block this!”

Now that Unnamed had turned into a sword, the Black Dragon Spear grew bigger with the help of the red energy and fell toward Lu Zhou like a giant pillar.

“It’s black?” Yu Chenshu looked at Unnamed in Lu Zhou’s hand and saw the dragon-like runes on it. He felt inexplicably threatened; his hair stood on its end, and his body began to tremble as though he had been splashed with a bucket of ice-cold water.

Lu Zhou tightened his grip around Unnamed as he used his energy to keep the Confinement Seal at bay.

All of a sudden, Unnamed grew 30 feet long. The black runes and the blue extraordinary power merged and swept out.

Bang!

In fact, after Lu Zhou reached the Ten-leaf stage, no one knew the true potential of Unnamed. The black runes coupled with the scrolls of the Heavenly Writing, it was definitely stronger than a flood-grade weapon.

A crisp sound rang in the air and the Black Dragon Spear was cleaved into two by Unnamed’s energy sword.

The cultivators broke into an uproar again. “A flood-grade sword?”

Lu Zhou saw a black rune disappearing with the wind. This was the cost of cleaving the Black Dragon Spear into two. He found this price acceptable.

Currently, the Black Dragon Spear that had been broken had lost its luster. Yu Chenshu could only throw it aside.

“This weapon…”Yu Chenshu was stunned.

Lu Zhou waved his sword again as energy swords swept out.

After throwing the spear aside, Yu Chenshu could only retreat and used his energy to deflect the attacks. He knew he could not allow the sword with black runes to touch him.

When Lu Zhou saw Yu Chenshu keep retreating, he threw Unnamed aside.

There were four sword paths. The highest sword path was to be able to use all things as a sword.

Lu Zhou closed his eyes. He felt the air and the Primal Qi around him. He could feel the lives of all beings, the essence of the Primal Qi. He knew the true meaning of the sword.

All of a sudden, Lu Zhou opened his eyes…

Energy swords appeared and covered the sky.

The wind, the Primal Qi, and even the vapor in the air were all turned into energy swords.

Following that, all of the energy swords gathered around Unnamed.

Yu Chenshu exclaimed inwardly upon seeing this, ‘This is bad!’

Yu Chenshu was pressed down until he landed in the valley. ‘He can control so many energy swords?’

A cultivator said, “The limit of the number of energy swords an ordinary nine-leaf cultivator can control is about 40,000. Ten-leaf elites can control 100,000 energy swords at most. However, this man seems to be able to control hundreds of thousands of energy swords.”

When Yu Shangrong was studying the sword path, he had broken the limit and managed to control 60,000 energy swords. How would he feel if he were here to witness the unreasonable number of energy swords his master could control?

The energy swords fell at this moment. All of them were stabbing in one direction.

“Ahhh!!!” Yu Chenshu let out a heart-wrenching scream.

No one knew if Unnamed stabbed Yu Chenshu, but there was no doubt he was injured by the countless energy swords.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou flew into the sky and smacked the bottom of the Confinement Seal as a blue lotus blossomed under his feet.

This was another heaven-defying technique that shook the earth.

Bang!

The Confinement Seal could not withstand the extraordinary power from the Heavenly Writing and shrank immediately as it fell down.

Lu Zhou swooped down and caught the Confinement Seal, which was the weapon Yu Chenshu was most proud of.

Yu Chenshu looked at the sky as he extended his hands. Unnamed, along with hundreds of thousands of energy swords, accurately pierced his chest.

If one looked closely, one would be able to see some of the runes on Unnamed had disappeared.

After unleashing these two moves, Lu Zhou was only left with very little extraordinary power. Apart from that, he only had one-third left of his power from his Ten-leaf cultivation base.

Lu Zhou flew to the top of the Confinement Seal and stomped on it.

Boom!

Following that, the Confinement Seal landed heavily on the ground, partially buried.

At this moment, the valley had been turned into ruins.

Thousands of cultivators in the surroundings looked at Lu Zhou in the center of the valley. They also saw Yu Chenshu in a strange posture. His head was lifted, as though he was looking at the sky, while a bloody hole could be seen where his chest used to be.

Meanwhile, Unnamed was stabbed into the ground behind Yu Chenshu.
