Chapter 1412: Fighting the Heavens

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Renyue stared at the fallen Nine-clawed Black Dragon in a daze. It took him a long time to accept what he was seeing. He had heard many legends about the Nine-clawed Black Dragon. Some said it was the guardian of the sky above the Pillar of Destruction in Yu Zhong. Some said it was the Equalizer of the Great Desolate Land. There were also those who said it was a fierce beast raised by the Great Void.

The Nine-clawed Black Dragon had reaped many lives of those who were foolhardy. The wise men had warned the next generation in the ancient books of this hidden fierce beast in the Unknown Land. Their warnings were always the same: don’t try to challenge it.

The idea that the Nine-clawed Black Dragon was invincible was passed down from generation to generation, but now, it was dying.

At this moment, the Nine-clawed Black Dragon lay on the ground at Yu Zhong. It struggled, flapping its wings.

The nearby trees and mountains were all flattened by the Nine-clawed Black Dragon.

Finally, Qin Renyue forced himself to calm down before he flew next to Lu Zhou and asked, “Brother Lu, you… you killed it?”

“It deserves to die,” Lu Zhou said.

“...”

Qin Renyue did not know what to say. Inwardly, he wondered, ‘The Nine-clawed Black Dragon is an ancient beast; when did it offend Brother Lu? Wait, wait, wait, this isn’t the main point!’

Qin Renyue stammered, “T-the Nine-clawed Black Dragon… I-it’s not even afraid of Saints… T-this…”

Qin Renyue almost wanted to ask if the Nine-clawed Black Dragon in front of him was a fake.

Lu Zhou looked at Qin Renyue solemnly and asked, “Who said Great Venerable Masters can’t kill it?”

Actions spoke louder than words, after all.

Qin Renyue still had not recovered from his shock. He thought that the legend about the Nine-clawed Black Dragon had to be exaggerated. It was definitely not as powerful as rumored!

At this moment, the Nine-clawed Black Dragon struggled again before it finally stilled.

“Ding! Killed the Nine-clawed Black Dragon. Reward: 50,000 merit points.”

When Qin Renyue saw that the Nine-clawed Black Dragon was dead, he was overjoyed. He turned around to congratulate Lu Zhou when he discovered Lu zhou did not look happy at all. From the beginning until the end, Lu Zhou had remained expressionless.

Qin Renyue had lived for a long time. The more he looked at Lu Zhou, the more he was certain that Lu Zhou was suppressing his anger.

At this time, Lu Zhou brought Unnamed in the form of a sword and flew down. Tens of thousands of energy swords flew toward the carcass.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Although the Nine-clawed Black Dragon’s hide was incomparably tough, it was still easily sliced open by Unnamed.

It would have been almost impossible for humans to cut open this 10,000-meter-long behemoth.

However, to Lu Zhou who was a Great Venerable Master, he managed to cut it into three pieces with his energy swords in less than 15 minutes.

Soon after, Qin Renyue saw six life hearts, which occupied the positions of the six-pointed star, shining brilliantly. “Life hearts…”

Lu Zhou casually waved his hand and put the six life hearts into the Vast Sky Bag.

Qin Renyue: “...”

As expected of a Great Venerable Master!

…

As soon as the Nine-clawed Black Dragon died, a crisp noise rang from the Scales of Justice in front of the Sacred Hall.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Figures began to appear one after another in front of the Sacred Hall.

An elder hovered in the air and said, “There’s a huge commotion in the Great Desolate Land, and the Nine-clawed Black Dragon has disappeared.”

Everyone broke into an uproar immediately.

“The Nine-clawed Black Dragon disappeared?! Who’s so bold as to make a move against the sacred beast of the Great Void!?”

“We still don’t know if it’s dead or alive. If it was really killed, then there are only two suspects. The culprit is either one of the ancient divine beasts in the core area of the Unknown Land or Chen Fu, the Great Saint. Apart from Chen Fu, there are no Saints in the nine domains.”

“I disagree. The imbalance has been going on for so long. During this time, I’m sure many powerful cultivators have emerged. Don’t forget about the ten Great Void Seeds that were lost more than 300 years ago?”

“Impossible!” the old man in the sky said as he shook his head, “Even with the Great Void Seed, it’s impossible to become a Venerable Master in a short time, let alone a Saint. Everyone knows how strong the Nine-clawed Black Dragon was.”

“Don’t argue. Let’s just hear what the Hall Master has to say.”

Everyone fell silent.

After a long period of silence, a voice rang from the hall.

Everyone bowed immediately.

“The hall has been paying close attention to the balance and the stability of the nine domains. We’ve also been eliminating uncertain factors. Don’t jump to conclusions regarding this matter. Send someone to investigate first. Don’t make fools out of yourselves.”

“Understood.”

“Ouyang, I’ll leave this matter to you,” the Hall Master of the Sacred Hall said in a dignified voice.

Ouyang Ziyun bowed and said, “Understood.”

…

In the Unknown Land’s Yu Zhong.

After Lu Zhou put away the six life hearts, he raised his head and looked at the sky. His anger had yet to subside.

It was likely that due to the death of the Nine-clawed Black Dragon, the imbalance at Yu Zhong seemed to worsen. The fog roiled, and the wind raged violently.

Flurries of hurricanes spun around the Pillar of Destruction at Yu Zhong as a large number of beasts appeared in the distance.

Qin Renyue raised his voice to be heard over the wind and said, “I’m afraid we’ve attracted the attention of the Great Void. Let’s go, Brother Lu!”

Lu Zhou did not speak. He only stared at the dark fog unblinkingly. Would the people from the Great Void show up? Finally, he said, “I haven’t killed enough. How can I leave?”

Qin Renyue was shocked. He hastily asked, “Brother Lu, do you really intend to fight the heavens?”

Lu Zhou said, “The Great Void caused the tragic death of my disciple. If I don’t seek revenge for him then I’m not worthy of being his master!”

Qin Renyue froze when he heard this. He had planned to risk his life and drag Lu Zhou away, but upon hearing these words, he dismissed his thoughts. He finally understood the reason behind Lu Zhou’s fury.

Everything in the world had a cause and effect.

Qin Renyue no longer stopped Lu Zhou. Instead, he stood side by side with Lu Zhou. He looked at the sky and asked, “You’re sure you want to do this?”

“This matter has nothing to do with you so you can leave now,” Lu Zhou said.

Qin Renyue smiled and said, “What a joke. If I leave now, can I still be considered a friend?”

“You won’t regret it?”

Upon hearing these words, Qin Renyue recalled many things as he looked at the thick black fog in the sky. He recalled the scenes of the Fire Phoenix burning the northern training hall down and scenes from the past. Then, he shook his head and said, “I regret many things in my life, but this is one thing I have no reason to regret. I don’t even regret Moshang’s death, let alone fighting side by side with Brother Lu.”

“Alright.” With that said, Lu Zhou turned around and launched a palm seal that had been imbued with the divine power.

Then, before the palm seal pushed Qin Renyue back, Lu Zhou tossed one of the Nine-clawed Black Dragon’s life hearts to Qin Renyue.

“Brother Lu, what are you doing?!” Qin Renyue was greatly alarmed. He was not a match for a Great Venerable Master, after all. He could not contend with Lu Zhou’s power of the Dao at all.

After pushing Qin Renyue 1,000 meters away, Lu Zhou said, “If you really think of me as a friend, don’t stay here and drag me down. Take the life heart and go.”

“...”

Violent winds continued to surge.

Qin Renyue grew more annoyed the longer he looked at the Nine-clawed Black Dragon’s life heart Lu Zhou had given him. He said, clearly irritated, “I treat you as a friend, but do you treat me as a friend?”

Qin Renyue did not leave. Instead, he flew back to Lu Zhou’s side.

At this time, a figure flashed past Qin Renyue. He was greatly alarmed.

Dozens of palm seals sailed in the air.

“Who is it?!”

The figure was abnormally agile and easily dodged Qin Renyue’s palm seals.

“You’re kind and righteous, but this isn’t the time for you to be reckless…”

Lu Zhou turned around and saw the person standing near Qin Renyue. He said, “Jie Jin’an?”

Jie Jin’an froze for a moment before he looked at Lu Zhou and asked, “You remember me?”

“Even if you turn into ashes, I’d still remember you,” Lu Zhou said.

Jie Jin’an laughed awkwardly before he said, “Uh… I was just joking. Don’t mind me.”

“You know each other?” Qin Renyue asked, surprised.

Jie Jin’an shook his head. “No.”

‘If you don’t know each other, why do you speak so familiarly? Are you crazy?’

Qin Renyue was confused.

At this time, Jie Jin’an said, “Don’t just stand there. The people from the Great Void are here.. Let’s go.”
