“With your ability?” Shang Zhang shook his head before he flew toward Zui Can.

Zui Can scoffed. “Since you chose this path, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Zui Can silently recited a Buddhist mantra. With this, the Buddhist relic grew even stronger. The suns were like beads as they spun in the air. Following that, thunderous Buddhist chants rang from the Buddha.

Shang Zhang pushed his hand up as his astrolabe appeared, bursting with extraordinary power.

The force from the Buddhist relic fell on the astrolabe and fell to the sides like a waterfall.

Zui Can shouted, “If I use the Great Void Token here, there’ll be a massacre. Shang Zhang, do you really think I can’t do anything to you?”

“I’ll let you understand the difference between a divine emperor and a divine king,” Shang Zhang said. Then, he waved his hand.

The 36 triangles on Shang Zhang’s astrolabe converged in the center before a beam of light shot toward the Buddha’s face.

Boom!

Zui Can flashed and arrived next to Buddha as he continued to control the Buddhist relic.

The beam of light from Shang Zhang pushed the Buddha light with a force that shook the world.

Zui Can’s body was suffused with a faint light as he moved to the top of the Buddha. He joined his palms together as he said, “Great Void Token, I’ll awaken you today with Buddha’s blood!”

The token flew up into the sky and took on the shape of a maple leaf. Then, it began to shine with a light that was not inferior to that of the Grand Mystic Formation.

Shang Zhang looked up and frowned. “You’re able to control the Great Void Token?”

Whoosh!

Shang Zhang’s avatar appeared and grew rapidly, surpassing the height of the Buddha. He appeared at the glabella of the avatar before he joined his palms together. Following that, a huge sword slashed down from above.

Upon seeing this, Zui Can changed his hand gestures and began to chant the Buddhist’s Sanskrit mantra. Green light suffused his body as the huge sword fell on the Buddhist relic.

Boom!

The collision resulted in a huge explosion that could split the sky and shake the earth.

A large number of cultivators outside of the Grand Mystic Mountain paused and looked in the direction of the commotion.

A rarely seen once-in-10,000-years miracle appeared in the sky.

A halo appeared, rippling out and covering the sky.

A huge number of beast kings, beast emperors, and divine beasts fled, startled and frightened.

In the northern horizon of Grand Mystic Mountain, many cultivators led by an old man were shocked by this scene. None of them dared to approach.

The old man quickly manifested a light barrier to protect everyone.

“What’s happening in the forbidden ground?”

“That was the Unholy One’s cultivation ground. The Sacred Temple and the ten halls of the Great Void prohibit everyone from going to that place. Those who go to that place will be severely punished.”

“Grand Mystic Mountain was once the center of the world. Now, it’s a forbidden ground…”

“Do you want to go and take a look?”

“Do you want to die? Don’t poke your nose into matters that don’t concern you just for the sake of excitement. It’s said that the Sacred Temple will send people to Grand Mystic Mountain every once in a while. If I’m not mistaken, Zui Can, one of the Four Supremes of the Sacred Temple, is at Grand Mystic Mountain now.”

Everyone was shocked.

“Is Zui Can very strong?”

The old man said, “You’re young so there are many things you’re unaware of. Zui Can was one of the Unholy One’s proudest students. The Unholy One was skilled in the Great Dao of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. However, he was still not satisfied and continued to seek ways to break the shackles to embark on the path of immortality. During his pursuit of immortality, he descended into madness.”

A young man said, “The Unholy One had to be killed. Zui Can is really amazing for killing his teacher.”

The old man glanced at the young man but did not say anything.

It had always been like that in the cultivation world. In their eyes, Zui Can betraying the Unholy One was a righteous act to defend the world, and his betrayal was a blessing.

“Who’s fighting with Zui Can?” another person asked.

The old man observed the sky for a moment before he shook his head and said, “The other party is also very powerful. I’m also curious as to the person who dares to defy the Sacred Temple. However, the other party is very cautious and restrained with his attacks so I can’t judge his cultivation.”

“Will Zui Can lose?”

“It is unlikely,” the old man said, “Zui Can has the Great Void Token. It’s a supreme sacred relic that can awaken the slumbering ancient power. That aside, do you know why Zui Can maintained his cultivation at the stage of a divine king?”

The young cultivators shook their heads.

The old man said, “In short, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Just look at the ten halls, and you’ll understand what I mean…”

The young cultivators were shocked. These words were heresy, after all. If the Sacred Temple found out about this, they would be greatly punished. Nonetheless, they understood the old man’s meaning.

The ten halls of the Great Void were filled with talents. After 100,000 years, apart from Shang Zhang, why was there not even one divine emperor in the ten halls? The Hall Masters and their commanders were all excellent candidates to become supreme emperors, but why was that not the case? Why were the commanders changed so often? The Great Void Seeds could clearly cultivate divine emperors, but why were they always stolen or lost? The Four Emperors of the Lost Land were very powerful, but why were they exiled?

Many of these questions could not withstand scrutiny, and they were too terrifying to think about.

…

Grand Mystic Mountain.

Shang Zhang cleaved the Buddhist relic into two. They fell to the north and to the south respectively.

Zui Can looked at the Great Void Token in the sky that was still accumulating power. He was puzzled. Usually, it would not take so long; its speed was not so slow.

Shang Zhang put away the sword and tried to persuade Zui Can again. “Zui Can, stop.”

There were too many people who depended on Shang Zhang. If he fell, who would bear the responsibility of Shang Zhang Hall? He could not fall; this meant that he could not easily offend the Sacred Temple. It was best to avoid an all-out fight.

Zui Can looked at the ball of light on Grand Mystic Mountain. The feeling that something was not right rose in his heart again. Then, he shifted his eyes to Shang Zhang and said, “I’ll give you a chance. If you want to avoid being punished by the Sacred Temple, come with me to subdue the ball of light and offer it to His Majesty, Great Emperor Ming Xin.”

Shang Zhang frowned. How could he do such a thing? The person in that ball of light was his daughter’s master and his benefactor. He remained silent.

Zui Can sneered when he saw Shang Zhang’s stance. “This is the last chance I’ll give you. If you don’t cherish it, you’ll only be punished by Buddha.”

Subsequently, Zui Can flew up and hit the Great Void Token with his hand. With that, the token spun much faster than before.

Shang Zhang moved as well.

The Great Void Token had yet to gather enough power so Zui Can still did not dare to confront Shang Zhang directly.

Zui Can manifested his avatar, blocking Shang Zhang as he flew toward the ball of light on Grand Mystic Mountain.

“Is it a power core?” Zui Can was overwhelmed with emotions as he arrived in front of the ball of light at lightning speed.

The light made it impossible for Zui Can to see what was in the ball of light. He could only feel the terrifying energy it emitted.

Zui Can reached out for the ball of light.

At the same time, Shang Zhang broke past the avatar. However, the Buddha, formed from the Buddhist relic, moved and blocked his path.

Zui Can muttered to himself, “This power core belongs to me now!”

Thud!

Zui Can’s hand touched something.

“Hmm? A person?”

Zui Can was still surprised and confused when the light dimmed and a figure walked out of the ball of light.

The person’s expression was calm, and his aura was threatening. His lofty posture, his movements, and the look in his eyes startled Zui Can and caused his heart to tremble. His eyes widened as he looked at the electric arcs flashing around the person without saying anything.

What Zui Can had touched earlier was Lu Zhou’s hand.

Lu Zhou’s eyes glinted coldly as he walked. With every step he took, Zui Can would take a step back.

For some reason, Zui Can could not stop himself from retreating. It was as though he was being controlled. He had no idea what was happening.

Finally, Lu Zhou opened his voice and asked in a dignified and cold voice, “Zui Can, do you still remember me?”

Zui Can trembled and his mind went blank.

Lu Zhou said in a deep voice, “Impudent!”

Then, Lu Zhou pushed Zui Can’s hand away.

Crack!

Zui Can cried out as a powerful energy burst forth from his body. He said in a trembling voice, “This, this is… impossible!”

Lu Zhou waved his left hand in the air.

The Buddha fell from the sky, trying to resist its descent.

Boom!

Lu Zhou sent the Buddha flying back.

“I taught you how to use the Buddhist relic. Is this all you learned?”

Zui Can looked at the sky and the person in front of him with a horrified expression on his face. Although the other person’s appearance was different, the other person’s way of speaking, posture, and aura made fear mixed with awe rise in his heart. He kept shaking his head, unwilling to accept the reality in front of him.

Boom!

Lu Zhou’s hand landed on Zui Can’s chest, sending Zui Can flying and crashing against the debris and rubble from the collapsed mountains.

Lu Zhou flashed and arrived above a pit.

Zui Can crawled out of the pit. He turned into a streak of green light as he flew up into the sky with the Buddhist relic, sceaming, “Impossible! Who dares to impersonate the Unholy One? I’ll kill you!”

Zui Can’s voice was filled with disbelief and unwillingness. His voice shook Grand Mystic Mountain.

Zui Can attacked Lu Zhou directly.

Lu Zhou did not retreat. Instead, he pushed his hand that glowed with golden light and flashed with electric arcs in a leisurely manner.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lu Zhou accurately deflected Zui Can’s attacks. Not one of Zui Can’s attacks landed.

Zui Can attacked in a frenzy as he muttered over and over again, “Impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible…”

Zui Can’s eyes were bloodshot. No matter how many times or how hard he attacked, he could not hurt the person in front of him.

After all, there was no one in the world now who understood Zui Can better than Lu Zhou did.

Lu Zhou continued deflecting Zui Can’s attacks. After a while, he launched a palm seal that was brighter than the ones before. The palm seal that was imbued with his divine Dao power easily deflected all of Zui Can’s attacks before it landed on Zui Can’s chest.

Boom!

Zui Can bowed over in pain and spat out blood before he plummeted to the ground. His eyes were filled with shock and fear. ‘It’s too similar and familiar!’

In fact, Zui Can had understood it when Lu Zhou first blocked his move. At this moment, his face was twisted into an unsightly expression as he laughed mournfully. He did not have the demeanor of a monk at all at this time.

The sound of crying and laughter resounded through Grand Mystic Mountain.

Lu Zhou continued to look at Zui Can expressionlessly.

After an unknown amount of time, Zui Can said unwillingly, “Teacher, I refuse to accept this!”
