“Possessed by the demon?”

The definition of demons had always been unclear. After all, those who did bad things were also called demons. The cultivators from the Noble Path also used that term to describe those who did not serve their interests. Those who cultivated unorthodox methods were also called demons.

What was a demon? Everyone was a demon.

“We have to neutralize the Li Lis’ corrosive energy in his body and calm the Great Void Seed’s energy to dispel his confusion. However, the corrosive energy is too strong. He killed too many Li Lis earlier and absorbed a large amount of their energies. I should’ve thought about this earlier before agreeing to let him deal with the Li Lis…” Ning Wanqing said, blaming himself for his oversight.

How could the evil energy that Mu Ertie, the Black Emperor, wanted to use to remove the limits of the Birth Charts and to break the heaven and earth shackles be weak? If it were not for the Great Void Seed, Duanmu Sheng would have long been reduced to ashes.

“It’s not your fault.” Lu Zhou looked at the pained expression on Duanmu Sheng’s face and sent a huge blue lotus his way.

With Duanmu Sheng in the center, vitality energy surged within a radius of thousands of meters.

The grass, plants, and trees on the battlefield that had withered were instantly given life. They turned green again at a speed visible to the naked eye. The evil energy that seeped into them was dispelled by the blooming blue lotus.

The Great Void energy and the purple smoke that were struggling against each other were temporarily suppressed by the blue lotus’ power.

Lu Zhou knew things could not continue on like this; he did not have much supreme mystic power left. For the evil energy to be so strong, he could only imagine how many Li Lis Duanmu Sheng had killed; he swept his gaze across the mountain of Li Lis’ corpses in the Northern Sword Canyon that had toppled over some time during the chaotic battle earlier.

At this moment, Duanmu Sheng who seemed to have caught his breath suddenly grabbed the Overlord Spear and began to use his spear technique against Lu Zhou. Clearly, he was not in his right mind and could no longer recognize his master.

When Lu Zhou saw Duanmu Sheng’s loyalty rapidly dropping again, he said thunderously, “Wicked disciple, how dare you!”

The Heavenly Writing’s power of speech immediately suppressed Duanmu Sheng.

Duanmu Sheng held the Overlord Spear with both hands and began to tremble. His consciousness was a blur, and he could not distinguish between reality and illusion. “M-master?”

Duanmu Sheng grunted before he turned the Overlord Spear on himself.

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou waved his hand, sending Duanmu Sheng and the Overlord Spear flying. He said with a sigh, “As long as I’m around, you won’t die…”

Ning Wanqing rushed toward Duanmu Sheng as soon as Duanmu Sheng was sent flying. He made a few hand seals, restraining Duanmu Sheng, before bringing Duanmu Sheng back to the red flying chariot.

After Lu Zhou flew into the red flying chariot, Ning Wanqing bowed and said, “I’ve already bound him. He won’t be able to break free temporarily.” After a pause, he praised, “It seems like even in this state he still remembers Pavilion Master Lu. As the saying goes, ‘A master for a day is like a father for life’.”

Lu Zhou looked at Duanmu Sheng who had finally calmed down. He did not say anything and just looked at the sky with his hands on his back.

Ning Wanqing said, “This might be a blessing in disguise. He has the Great Void Seed. In the future, he’ll definitely be a supreme being. If my observation is correct, the power of the Great Void Seed isn’t fully activated. Perhaps, using the Great Void Seed’s energy to dispel the evil energy will help him…”

Lu Zhou nodded; Ning Wanqing had a point.

Ning Wanqing continued to say, “Whether he can activate the Great Void Seed will depend on his luck. Legend has it that only ten Great Void Seeds will appear every 30,000 years. Each seed contains the essences of the sun, moon, heaven, and earth and infinite vitality energy. However, not everyone will be able to activate it…”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A huge figure appeared in the clouds at this moment. Soon enough, the clouds parted and revealed Lu Wu falling down from the sky, covered in frost.

Lan Xihe held the Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel as she hovered above Lu Wu, releasing its surging power.

“Tower Master Lan!” the blue-clad female attendant cried out anxiously.

Lu Zhou turned around and said, “Don’t move!”

Then, he leaped out of the red flying chariot and flew up into the sky.

When Lan Xihe saw Lu Zhou flying through the clouds, she said, “Be careful! It’s much stronger than I imagined…”

Lu Wu turned around and roared. Soundwaves rolled out immediately, stirring up violent winds.

Lu Zhou flashed, easily dodging the soundwaves.

Boom!

A hole hundreds of meters in diameter appeared on the ground.

Lu Zhou frowned. An ordinary Deadly Strike Card appeared in his hand as he said in a deep voice, “Since you helped the wicked, I can’t let you live!”

Lu Wu’s hair stood on end. It turned out and said, “Ice.”

Swoosh!

The remaining fierce beasts and the corpses were frozen in just a blink of an eye. Even the air and the ground seemed to freeze.

The Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel spun rapidly, protecting Lan Xihe.

Upon seeing this, Ning Wanqing shouted, “Run!”

Then, Ning Wanqing grabbed Duanmu Sheng and the blue-clad female attendant and fled without any hesitation.

At this time, Lu Zhou felt a bone-chilling energy surging toward him, freezing his hand immediately.

“Karmic fire. Flaming Golden Lotus.”

The Flaming Golden Lotus appeared beneath Lu Zhou’s feet immediately. Sizzling noises rang in the air as it burned the ice. Indeed, the beast emperor was much stronger than they had imagined.

‘Why didn’t it use this power earlier in the Northern Sword Canyon? Mu Ertie, Lu Wu, which one of you was using the other person as a pawn?’

Lu Zhou’s vision worsened. He knew he had to destroy the layer of ice over his body as soon as possible.

The Golden Flaming Lotus picked up speed as it spun.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Miniature flaming lotuses flew out, destroying the ice.

Meanwhile, Lu Wu seized the chance while Lu Zhou and Lan Xihe were frozen and flew toward Ning Wanqing.

“Damn… you… humans… scram…” Lu Wu said; its speech was stilted.

With just a leap, it crossed thousands of meters and landed in front of Ning Wanqing.

Ning Wanqing launched countless palm seals at Lu Wu, but they seemed like they were only scratching an itch on Lu Wu’s body.

Lu Wu lowered its head and roared, stirring up another huge gust of wind.

Ning Wanqing hurriedly manifested his 750-foot avatar.

Bang!

Lu Wu swiped its gigantic paw at the avatar and sent Ning Wanqing flying.

Ning Wanqing fell to the ground and rolled a few times; his internal organs were injured. He was naturally not a match for Lu Wu, a beast emperor.

Lu Wu advanced step by step; each of its steps was hundreds of meters wide. It lowered its head and looked at the blue-clad female attendant and Duanmu Sheng before it said one word, “Scram.”

The blue-clad female attendant had no choice but to move away.

However, Duanmu Sheng, who was unconscious, naturally, could not move away.

Lu Wu lowered its head further before it inhaled deeply, pulling the wind in all directions to him. When it exhaled, a strong and scorching wind blew out immediately.

“Don’t touch him!” Ning Wanqing shouted. He assumed Lu Wu had discovered the presence of the Great Void Seed and wanted to devour it. After all, the Great Void Seed was the ultimate treasure; humans and fierce beasts alike coveted it.

Lu Wu looked at Ning Wanqing from the corners of its eyes and grunted, but it did not speak.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel finally broke the ice that encased Lan Xihe. She flew over immediately with her avatar in tow,

Her white avatar was 1,150 feet tall, and the astrolabe that hung at its back was so big that it seemed like it could cover the sky. (note: 11 leaves have yet to open, 100 feet less)

Lu Wu raised its head and roared when it saw Lan Xihe had broken free.

The earth shook in accordance with Lu Wu’s roar.

Ning Wanqing was bleeding from his seven orifices while the blue-clad female attendant had fainted to the ground.

Duanmu Sheng frowned, still unconscious. As though sensing its master’s call, the Overlord Spear flew into his hand.

At this moment, Lu Wu said stiltedly, “Young Master… go…”

Following that, Lu Wu lowered its head and picked Duanmu Sheng up with bloody maw before it leaped up and vanished into the clouds.
