Everyone looked at the sky.
The soldiers, royal guards, and cultivators looked up at the person in confusion, not knowing what he was trying to do.
Unnamed began to multiply from one to two, to four, to eight, to sixteen⊠It kept multiplying, forming a circle around Lu Zhou. A golden lotus bloomed under his feet, and the dazzling swords pointed out like crystals.
In just a few breaths, over a million energy swords appeared in the sky.
â...â
Lu Zhou did not stop forming energy swords. After a few more breaths, the million of energy swords multiplied a few more times again. The force from the millions of energy swords was overwhelming.
Whoosh!
Lu Zhou held Unnamed and pushed it forward.
With that, the millions of energy swords flew toward the cultivators and soldiers who surrounded them from all directions like a meteor shower.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The energy swords were like swimming dragons in the sky. They whizzed past everyoneâs sides, ears, arms, and between their legs. They passed through the horizon, the corridors of the imperial royal palace, and the glazed tiles shooting past the palace walls into the streets of Xiangyang City.
Lu Zhou controlled Unnamed that had been imbued with the divine power and rose higher into the sky.
Qin Renyue could not help but applaud. âIn this world, the only person who has this kind of mastery of the sword path and reached the path of the sword of creation is Brother LuâŠâ
Yu Shangrong, who was skilled in the sword path as well, looked at the sky filled with energy swords with a shocked expression on his face.
Little Yuanâer looked at Yu Zhenghai on the left and Yu Shangrong on the right before she asked in a low voice, âEldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, you can also do this too, right?â
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong shook their heads. They were far from being capable of this feat.
âThis is⊠amazingâŠâ Yuan Lang said.
The other 48 swordsmen nodded in agreement.
The 49 swordsmen cultivated the sword path. They were skilled with the sword, formations, and many kinds of flashy moves. However, Lu Zhouâs energy swords truly demonstrated the word âmagnificentâ to the extreme. They could not help but feel inferior.
âI sense the power of the Dao,â Qin Renyue said.
The 49 swordsmen nodded.
It was very basic for a Venerable Master to mobilize the power of the Dao. However, this was Qin Renyueâs first time seeing someone using the power of the Dao to multiply energy swords.
In fact, Lu Zhou had long known about the existence of the power of the Dao when he used the power of infinite deduction to find the Ultimate Formationâs weakness. Previously, with so many interferences, it was not so easy to crack it. However, with no one stopping him now, he could focus on destroying the Ultimate Formation.
The Ultimate Formation was a rare ancient formation; it was far superior to the Ten Grand Formation. Its weakness was not the circle of light above the Mystic Tranquility Hall. It was built with Xiang City in the center. The structure of the city was its framework, and the land was its foundation.
Meng Mingshi was not lying when he said no one could destroy the formation. Even he himself, who knew of its weakness, could not destroy it unless he had enough cultivators to cover all directions.
However, it was different for Lu Zhou who used his powerful control and released millions of energy swords to do the work.
Meng Mingshi was stunned. He stubbornly kept his eyes open. His body and his lips trembled as he stumbled back, escaping from Mingshi Yinâs grip before falling on the steps. How terrifying was ignorance? He had thought the other party was but a frog at the bottom of the well until he realized he was the frog.
Swoosh!
When the energy swords landed on the ground, the earth shook.
The ordinary soldiers fell to the ground while the cultivators and royal guards stood rooted to the ground, too afraid to move.
Then, energy swords from within a radius of 100 miles rose from the ground.
With that, the brilliance of the Mystic Tranquility Hall dimmed by a third.
All the energy swords flew back in the same order and whizzed past everyoneâs body, ears, and even grazed past their vital points. They flew back toward Unnamed, and when all of them converged, they fused into one again.
âBreak.â
Following that, Lu Zhou pressed his hand down, and Unnamed flew toward the formation circle at the Mystic Tranquility Hall.
âDonât!â Meng Mingshi burst with a final spurt of strength at this moment. He tried to fly up but was caught by Mingshi Yin and pressed to the ground.
Boom!
Unnamed pierced the core of the formation, causing the radiance of the Mystic Tranquility Hall to dim immediately.
The energy from the formation evaporated, and the inscriptions on the ground and the wall dimmed as well. The energy that originated from the Great Void was returned to the Great Void.
Meng Mingshiâs body turned limp. His spirit, will, and tenacity were destroyed along with the formation.
âRetreat!â
The palace reinforcement retreated like a tide. In just a blink of an eye, none of them could be seen.
â...â
Lu Zhou looked down at Meng Mingshi. âIs this the loyalty you spoke of earlier?â
Meng Mingshi shook his head.
Lu Zhou asked, âDo you have anything else to say?â
Meng Mingshi had nothing else to say to Lu Zhou. At this moment, he discovered the world had turned dark just like the formation. He could no longer see anything. He could not hear the others as well; all he heard was a ringing noise in his ears. Then, he felt his Dantianâs sea of Qi shrinking rapidly. With this, he leaped toward Mingshi Yin and cried out, âHurry up! Kill me! Kill me!â
No matter how much Mingshi Yin hated Meng Mingshi, he could not bring himself to kill Meng Mingshi. He gritted his teeth and took a step back.
At this time, Meng Mingshi exploded with energy seals and firmly held onto Mingshi Yin.
Mingshi Yin spun around and unleashed his energy seals as well.
Boom!
Meng Mingshi did not avoid the energy seals.
Mingshi Yin brandished the Separation Hook and slashed it at Meng Mingshiâs chest, but Meng Mingshi did not let go.
Meng Mingshi was reminded of the battle on Mount Xiao when he fought with the enemy. He fought so hard at that time that he could not feel the pain that burned his body. His fighting spirit and hatred dispelled his fears and brought hope and peace to the battlefield in the end. Alas, all these would be gone soon.
Swoosh!
Meng Mingshi restrained Mingshi Yin and flew toward the Mystic Tranquility Hall.
âFourth Senior Brother!â
âOld Fourth!â
Meng Mingshi now fought with no regard for his life, disregarding his previous fighting style. This made it difficult for Mingshi Yin to struggle free in a short time.
Swoosh!
Unnamed tore through the sky and pierced Meng Mingshiâs chest!
Bang!
Meng Mingshi did not avoid it!
âDing! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 1,500 merit points.â
Meng Mingshi ignored Lu Zhou. He continued to restrain Mingshi Yin with all his strength and smacked Mingshi Yinâs back.
Mingshi Yinâs Birth Palace appeared immediately.
Mingshi Yin said through gritted teeth, âOld fart, you still havenât given up on killing me?â
Meng Mingshi shook his head. âIf I wanted you dead, you wouldâve died a long time ago.â
âFourth Senior Brother is in danger!â
Destroying the Birth Palace could directly destroy all of oneâs Birth Charts.
At this moment, a bright and shimmering pearl appeared above the Mystic Tranquility Hall.
âWhy arenât you giving up?â Lu Zhouâs voice drifted over.
Meng Mingshi brought out his Birth Palace and did not attack Mingshi Yinâs Birth Palace. He knew as soon as he did, the orb in the sky would destroy him.
âAlrightâŠâ Meng Mingshi raised his wizened hand and dug into his Birth Palace.
âMadman!â Qin Renyue exclaimed.
âWhatâs he doing?!â
âDigging out his life heart!â
The Purple Glazed Ceramic spun, pulling Meng Mingshiâs Birth Palace to it.
At this time, Meng Mingshi released his hold on his Birth Palace after digging out a life heart. Then, he spun around and smacked the life heart into Mingshi Yinâs Birth Palace.
Click!
Mingshi Yin was assaulted by a wave of pain immediately.
Meng Mingshi laughed crazily after he placed his life heart into Mingshi Yinâs Birth Palace. Then, he pushed Mingshi Yin away.
Mingshi Yin grunted. His eyes were red with anger as he stared at Meng Mingshi who was smiling creepily.
As soon as Meng Mingshiâs Birth Chart power exploded, the Purple Glazed Ceramic exploded with energy as well.
Mingshi Yin endure the pain as he slapped at the new life heart in his Birth Palace. âI hate you! I donât want it! Itâs filthy!â
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
âVery good! I want you to hate me for the rest of your life! Help me⊠live⊠live⊠for the Meng clanâŠâ
As soon as Meng Mingshiâs voice fell, he turned into an ice sculpture.
