Chapter 1004: Flying With You
The golden Thousand Realms Whirling avatar flew horizontally as Lu Zhou reached out and clenched his hand tightly.
In just a blink of an eye, Shi Youran’s avatar vanished. At this moment, he kept shaking his head as he said, “S-senior, I was blind before this. Please let me go!”
Lu Zhou removed his protective energy and looked at his golden Thousand Realms Whirling avatar and the 12 Birth Charts that shone on the golden astrolabe. Then, he grabbed Shi Youran and flew at top speed in the southern direction.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The wind blew against his face as he flew. He checked the remaining time to confirm he had enough time.
Although Lu Zhou was a Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator and his body had been tempered to where it far exceeded an ordinary person, they did nothing to help when the strong wind formed by his exaggerated speed blew against his face, distorting his face. However, he knew this was normal. As a transmigrator, he knew if the speed was fast enough, even a bird could take down an airplane. With this, he suddenly picked up speed
Lu Zhou continued to fly through the clouds, passing mountains after mountains.
In the beginning, Shi Youran’s hair was in a mess, and his face was distorted by the strong wind. Not only that, but he was injured as well. However, after Lu Zhou picked up speed, the wind from the extreme speed cut his face, leaving wounds on his face. It happened so many times that he gradually grew numb to the pain. After a while, he said, “I… I can replace Xiao Yunhe…”
Lu Zhou’s reply was curt. “Are you worthy?”
“Why… Why can’t I? I-I have ten Birth Charts. He’s a cripple with only seven Birth Charts,” Shi Youran said with great difficulty.
Lu Zhou suddenly came to a stop.
Due to the extreme speed and inertia, Shi Youran’s legs were broken, and he let out a miserable cry.
Lu Zhou surveyed his surroundings. It seemed like the further he traveled south, the darker it became. Although he had twelve Birth Charts now, he could still feel the pressure from heaven and earth pressing down on him.
“The shackles of heaven and earth?” Lu Zhou looked down, but it was too dark to see anything. He checked the time again; he had twenty minutes left. He had enough time to return.
“Let me go! If you kill me, Tower Master Xia will definitely avenge me. He… He has 12 Birth Charts as well!!! You… Let me go!” Shi Youran threatened. Since the soft approach did not work, he switched to using threats.
Upon hearing these words, Lu Zhou’s eyes flashed. Then, he suddenly dropped a few thousand meters in the air before he rose up again. He repeated this until he grew bored and switched to flying from east to west and north to south, ten times each.
Lu Zhou, who looked completely unaffected, looked at Shi Youran who was in a miserable state from all the flying and asked, “Do you still like flying?”
Shi Youran shook his head, unable to speak due to motion sickness. Following that, he could no longer hold back and vomited violently. When he was done, he panted as he asked, “Y-you… You’re still holding back your strength?”
Lu Zhou smiled but did not say anything. He tightened his hold on Shi Youran and continued flying south. After flying several thousand meters, he saw a group of fierce beasts in the darkness below.
Shi Youran who was greatly weakened after being tortured by Lu Zhou looked down in surprise. Then, he chuckled. “So… so y-you’re looking for the secrets of the heaven and earth’s shackles as well… Y-you won’t be able to find them…”
Shi Youran was right. Lu Zhou had flown south because he wanted to take advantage of the effect of the Peak Trial Card to see what was at the end of the Land of Chaos. That was right; he had used the enhanced Peak Trial Card. Earlier, he had less than 100,000 merit points. To kill at 10 Chart expert, he would need two normal Deadly Strike Cards and one enhanced Deadly Strike Card. Moreover, to be safe, he needed extra item cards as well. Since that was the case, he might as well use his enhanced Peak Trial Card. Unfortunately, 12 Birth Charts were the limit.
At this time, Lu Zhou had limitless vitality energy. Therefore, he could fly recklessly. Under normal circumstances, he would not be able to do so.
At this moment…
Roar!
A fierce beast that resembled a pterosaur appeared in front of Lu Zhou. It did not take long before a group of fierce beasts came swarming out from the mountain range as well.
Shi Youran laughed maniacally as he said, “It’s the beast king! You’ve entered the territory of a beast king! Good! Very good! It’s not too bad if you die with me!”
The flying pterosaur flew toward the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar at this moment, causing the air to distort and the ground to shake.
Lu Zhou brought his avatar with him as he flew up.
Shi Youran struggled. “Let me… go! Let me go! I… I’m willing to fight side by side with you, senior! Let me…”
“How noisy!” Lu Zhou pressed his left hand on Shi Youran’s Dantian’s sea of Qi.
Buzz!
Shi Youran’s astrolabe was forcefully manifested.
Lu Zhou moved at lightning speed as he smacked Shi Youran’s astrolabe.
“My astrolabe!” Shi Youran cried out. With his Ten Chart astrolabe hanging on the line, he did not retreat. At the critical moment, he made the right decision by turning his astrolabe around and letting it expand before he released the power of his Birth Charts.
With that, countless pillars of light shot up into the sky.
Lu Zhou did not pay attention to Shi Youran. Instead, he sent out palm seals after palm seals in the air, striking twenty times consecutively.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
At the same time, Lu Zhou manifested the Golden Buddha Body before he unleashed the Dhyana Mudra and the Six Compatible Daoist Seal to block the explosion of Shi Youran’s energy.
Primal Qi rolled out in all directions in just an instant.
The flying beasts in the air that covered the sky were blasted away and killed.
‘What a pity…’ Lu Zhou looked at the fierce beasts. In fact, most of these fierce beasts were not too powerful; apart from having superior physique, they had yet to step onto the cultivation path. Only a few of them were Birth Chart Beasts.
As silence returned, Lu Zhou received four system notifications.
Xu Chen and Shi Youran’s cultivation bases were the same; no wonder they were locked in a stalemate for so long.
Lu Zhou continued holding onto Shi Youran and used a powerful binding technique to suppress him. He had limitless Primal Qi for now anyway.
On the other hand, Shi Youran was driven to despair. He had been waiting for Lu Zhou to let down his guard so he could escape. Unfortunately, Lu Zhou showed no sign of relaxing.
“You still have six Birth Charts,” Lu Zhou suddenly said.
“…”
Lu Zhou looked at the time. He had to return soon. Moreover, he knew he could not travel deeper without having more than 12 Birth Charts. He looked at the fierce beasts again; there were many low-level Birth Chart Beasts and a small number of mid-level Birth Chart Beasts. The others were only ordinary fierce beasts.
At this moment, Shi Youran spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he asked weakly, “Are you… Are you even human?”
Lu Zhou ignored him and continued to look at the fierce beasts. When he was about to kill them, he felt movements from the talisman in his pocket. With just a thought, he brought the talisman out and ignited it.
Yan Zhenluo’s image appeared immediately.
Yan Zhenluo said as soon as he appeared, “Brother Lu, this is bad! The First Elders of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council have gone to the red lotus domain for a mission. I thought only the judges were sent there. The First Elders’ cultivation bases are very high; please be careful!”
“Are you talking about him?” Lu Zhou raised Shi Youran by the scruff of his neck into the range of the formation circle created by the black talisman so Yan Zhenluo could have a look.
Yan Zhenluo’s eyes widened in shock. “F-first Elder?!”
When Shi Youran saw Yan Zhenluo, he said with a voice laden with sorrow, “So there’s a traitor! As it turns out, I didn’t suffer a defeat for no reason…”
“This… He’s in such a wretched state… Are you sure this is the First Elder?” Yan Zhenluo asked skeptically.
Shi Youran’s face was damaged beyond recognition from the cutting wind earlier. It was indeed rather difficult to identify him at this moment.
Lu Zhou said, “I’ll kill him later. You’ll find out for yourself whether this person is your First Elder or not at that time…”
Yan Zhenluo. “…”
Lu Zhou said again, “I’m busy. What other matters do you have to report?”
“A beast tide has appeared. Initially, we were supposed to send cultivators with more than five Birth Charts to stop the beast king, but the radical faction in the Black Tower Council stopped this plan. If the beast tide approaches the southeast of Southern Kingdom, I’m afraid the red lotus domains will die…” Yan Zhenluo said anxiously.
The southeast was not far away from where Lu Zhou was now. It would not be a problem for him to rush there with his unlimited Primal Qi.
Lu Zhou asked, “Is this mission similar to Lu Li’s mission back then?”
“That’s right.”
“Alright, leave it to me.” Lu Zhou flicked his sleeve and Yan Zhenluo’s image disappeared.
Then, he tightened his hold on Shi Youran and said, “I know you didn’t fly enough so let’s continue…”
Shi Youran cried out miserable before he finally fainted.
