The lunatics from the Sky Research Court felt the intense heat of the raging golden karmic fire. The heatwave swept across their bodies and their faces; it was blazing hot. Their minds were blank as though even their thoughts had been burned away.

These people were once the top geniuses of the Sky Research Court. No one understood avatars better than them. Even if there was just a slight difference in an avatar, it would not escape their notice.

A 300-foot avatar!

That dazzling golden astrolabe; that twelve golden lines that resembled those of a clock; that 36 triangles that formed a pattern. Every line and every circle shone with a golden light and looked like a peerless treasure and artwork.

Before the beam of energy light had shot out, the distinct Birth Chart had flashed brilliantly. The power of a Birth Chart!

Four words appeared in their minds; the Thousand Realms Whirling!

"The Thousand Realms Whirling avatar..."

Meanwhile, the experienced and knowledgeable Sikong Beichen, the elders of the Sky Martial Court, the Evil Sky Pavilion, the Cloud Mountain, the Thousand Willow Monastery, and the young and fearless emperor, Li Yun Zheng were all in awe of this magnificent avatar.

All cultivators dreamed of becoming a peerless powerhouse. Alas, many could never reach such heights in their lifetimes. Nevertheless, how lucky were they to be able to witness the appearance of a Thousand Realms Whirling Avatar?

Then, everyone remembered the calm and composed old man, the owner of this magnificent Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.

At the same time, the elders from the Sky Martial Court, who were still kneeling, stiffened and paralyzed by fear. Their fear was not any less than the lunatics from the Sky Research Court.

On the other hand, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong's reactions were not as exaggerated as the others. They solemnly admired their master's avatar.

Perhaps, due to the effects of Eternal Paragon, Lu Zhou's four disciples were exceptionally serious when they were admiring their master's avatar. Their hearts were filled with longing as though they had just found a dream or an objective.

…

In the west direction of Sky Martial Mountain, four flying chariots flew side by side at the same speed.

A low voice rang from the flying chariot on the left. "Grand Duke, it seems like Sky Martial Heavenly Formation has been activated."

"I'm afraid now that the formation has been activated, the Sky Martial Court will start a massacre. It seems like Elder Qiu was not exaggerating in his flying letter. The formation, coupled with the Sky Martial Court's geographical advantage, can gather an incredibly destructive power. Even Yu Chenshu himself wouldn't be a match for something like that."

Someone sighed. "Those lunatics from the Sky Research Court are really talented. It's unfortunate that they're too cunning and dishonest."

"Let's speed up. The formation won't last for long."

With that, the speed of the four flying chariots increased by several folds.

...

Lu Zhou's heart skipped a beat. 'There's no notification?'

With Ye Zhen and Yu Chenshu serving as examples, Lu Zhou, naturally, did not let his guard down.

Lu Zhou ignored the petrified lunatics from the Sky Research Court and lightly tapped his feet. He flew into the sky as nimble as a swallow. He flew toward the horizon with his 300-foot avatar in tow.

The golden Thousand Realms Whirling avatar that shone dazzlingly and surging karmic flames mesmerized everyone. When they finally regained their senses, they ran out of the Sacred Rites Hall.

"Senior Lu, what are you doing?"

"Are you going to flatten the Sky Martial Court?"

As soon as Qiu He heard these words, his eyes rolled to the back of his head and his head lolled to the side before he fell to the ground. He had fainted.

"Elder Qiu!"

"Elder Qiu!"

These weak people from the Sky Martial Court did not deserve sympathy. They had been domineering and bullying the weak for a long time now. Their prestige was deeply rooted in the people's hearts. Alas, how the tide had changed!

Meanwhile, the lunatics from the Sky Research Court were still looking at the avatar.

The Thousand Realms Whirling avatar was like a sun that illuminated the entire Sky Martial Mountain. Its imposing aura could be felt in every direction. The birds and the beasts on Sky Martial Mountain flew off and scampered away in fear.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou flew near the chest of the avatar. One person, one avatar flew together.

As Lu Zhou flew past, the disciples in Sky Martial Court around the Sacred Rites Hall trembled as they prostrated themselves on the ground.

When Lu Zhou flew past the Literary Star Gate, some female disciples' faces turned pale before they fainted.

Finally, Lu Zhou came to a stop above a semicircular pool before he looked down at the pool.

The clear blue water reflected the magnificent figure of the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.

Cui An, the Grand Duke of Fu, should have fallen here.

Lu Zhou activated the power of hearing with his extraordinary power, extending the range of his hearing around the pool and into the pool.

It was quiet. He did not hear anything out of the ordinary.

Lu Zhou was certain the power of the BIrth Chart had pierced Cui An's body. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to survive.

At this moment.

Splash!

Lu Zhou heard splashing noises in the pool.

The Thousand Realms Whirling avatar straightened itself. The golden astrolabe began to spin.

As long as Cui An appeared, the power of the Birth Chart would strike him.

After Lu Zhou's earlier experimentations, he discovered the power of the Birth Chart was equivalent to having four Deadly Strike Cards.

Splash!

Disturbance could now be seen on the surface of the pool. It grew more and more intense.

All of a sudden…

"Ding! Killed a target. Obtained 1,500 merit points."

"He's a Nine-leaf cultivator, but I don't even get a domain bonus?"

In the pool, where the disturbance was the most intense, a huge black lotus suddenly appeared. Then, it slowly descended into the pool and spread in all directions like tendrils on ink in water. Gradually, it covered the entire pool.

Meanwhile, a few bold disciples of the Sky Martial Court who had come to the semicircular pool were shocked when they saw the black lotus.

"Black lotus!"

The disciples gulped when they looked up and saw the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.

At this moment, the pool suddenly regained its calmness.

Lu Zhou brought the Golden Taixu Mirror out and shone it on the pool.

Lu Zhou wondered to himself, "He's not a puppet… Is it some kind of evil clone technique?"

In other words, the real Cui An had died a long time ago. Lu Zhou's Birth Chart had actually killed the black lotus cultivator who was residing in Cui An's body.

This reminded Lu Zhou of the witchcraft in the golden lotus domain. Zhao Yue was once controlled by some witchcraft cultivator. Even Leng Luo and Zhang Yuanshan and the others from the Righteous Sect were controlled by witchcraft.

Lu Zhou thought it was an incredibly annoying technique!

Nevertheless, Lu Zhou's goal had been achieved. The other person's main body was not here so it would be useless even if he dug three feet into the ground.

At this moment, a humming noise rang in the air. The noise came from the barrier in the sky.

Lu Zhou slowly turned around.

Beams of red light shot out in the sky from different directions at this moment.

Lu Zhou no longer paid attention to the semicircular pool. Instead, he controlled his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar and flew up into the air.

…

"The Sky Martial Heavenly Formation!"

Nie Qingyun flashed and appeared in the air before he manifested his 200-foot avatar, trying to help. It had to be said that his 200-foot Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar looked rather shabby compared to the 300-foot Thousand Realms Whirling avatar. He cried out, "Senior Lu, watch out! It's the Sky Martial Heavenly Formation!"

At this moment, the beams of light converged at the huge stone pillar in front of the Literary Star Gate.

Sikong Beichen's voice rang in Lu Zhou's ear, "The Sky Research Court spent decades to construct this formation. There's a high possibility its destructive force is enough to kill even a Birth Chart master. Be careful, Brother Lu!"

At this moment, the Sky Martial Heavenly Formation had successfully completed its activation.

Nie Qingyun shouted at the group of lunatics in front of the Sacred Rites Hall, "What are you doing? Why aren't you stopping the formation?"

The bald man regained his senses and looked at the old man hovering in front of the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar as he stammered, "S-stop… W-we… We can't stop it…"

The other lunatics from the Sky Research Court regained their senses one after another and looked at the red beams of light that shot out from all directions in the Sky Martial Court.

With the mountains and rivers as the foundation, and heaven and earth serving as a prison, this killing formation was created.

A slight frown appeared on Lu Zhou's face as he withdrew his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar. No wonder Yu Chenshu was so confident and did not leave the Sky Martial Court at all unless it was absolutely necessary.

Lu Zhou continued to rise higher. Just as he was about to leave the barrier, the beams of light formed something like a spider web in front of the Literary Star Gate.

The sky and earth changed as the wind and clouds met.

Lu Zhou thought to himself that this time, he had no choice but to act ostentatiously. At this moment, the entire Sky Martial Court was in his field of vision; he turned to look unblinkingly in the direction of the Literary Star Gate.

The sound of energies resonating grew louder and louder in the meantime.

The elders from the Sky Martial Court looked at the old man in the sky nervously.

At this time, Qiu He finally regained consciousness. He cried out immediately, "Stop it! Stop it!"

Unfortunately, the Sky Martial Court elders were all aware that once the Formation was fully activated, there was no way of stopping it unless one had the abilities to move the mountains, fill the sea, and cover the sun with a hand. It was futile. Who could possibly have such exaggerated abilities?

…

Meanwhile, the other Grand Dukes of Great Tang finally arrived and quickly flew out of their flying chariots.

They looked at the Sky Martial Mountain and the red beams of light that converged at the Literary Star Gate solemnly.

"The killing formation has been successfully activated!"

"Who's that?"

"It's..."

"Is he the expert who killed Yu Chenshu?"

At this moment, the huge rock in front of the Literary Star Gate suddenly shot out a towering red pillar of light toward Lu Zhou who was hovering high in the sky.
