The 100,000 times circulation speed turned everything into a blur. Nothing could be seen clearly from outside the range of the Pillar of Impermanence. The trees in the surroundings were distorted, looking deformed.
Now, with the boost from Princess Mulberry, the circulation speed increased by several times. Although she was not the owner of the Pillar of Impermanence, with her profound cultivation base, it was not difficult for her to increase the circulation speed from 100,000 times faster to 300,000 times faster.
All living things; people, plants, flowers, and trees; withered rapidly.
The high priest that was pressed under the Pillar of Impermanence looked as though all the blood and liquid in his body had been sucked out. He was just like a dry husk, only made from thin skin and brittle bones. His eyeballs that were brimming with anger, unwillingness, and despair looked as though they were going to pop out of their sockets. No matter how much he struggled, he could not stop the pillar from absorbing his lifespan. It was like a leech, sticking close to him and greedily sucking away his life.
The large amount of vitality energy and lifespan made the Pillar of Impermanence shine even more dazzlingly.
Like the sound of wind whistling, a wheezing noise came from the back of the high priest’s throat before his head titled limply to the side... and he died.
“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 5,000 merit points. Race bonus: 1,000 merit points.”
This reward was that of a Venerable Master.
Although Lu Zhou was a Great Venerable Master, it took him so much effort just to kill the high priest.
As soon as the high priest died, the walking corpses fell limply to the ground immediately.
Lu Zhou pressed his hand down, slowing down the speed of the Pillar of Impermanence.
After the effect faded and the golden light dissipated, Lu Zhou was shocked to see the withered surroundings. A huge circular area was completely devoid of life. Not only had everything withered, but they had withered to the point where they had turned into dust.
Princess Mulberry stood in front of Lu Zhou as she looked at him quietly. After a long time, she asked, “Do you know the Unholy One?”
“The Unholy One?” Lu Zhou was reminded of Ying Gou, Yue Qi, and the Hourglass of Time.
Princess Mulberry said, “The Hourglass of Time is one of his possessions.”
“It’s not strange for things in the cultivation world to change owners,” Lu Zhou replied.
Princess Mulberry nodded. “You’re right.”
Lu Zhou asked in return, “Do you know the Unholy One?”
“I’ve heard legends about him. Unfortunately, I’ve never met him before,” Princess Mulberry said with a smile.
Lu Zhou asked, “What’s so special about him?”
Princess Mulberry replied, “I used to wonder about this as well. Why was everyone in the cultivation world so afraid of him? Why did everyone call him a demon and named him the Unholy One? Why did he suddenly take the unorthodox path? Why did he suddenly disappear?”
“...”
Lu Zhou asked, “Is he from the Great Void?”
“I don’t know. All I know is that in the past the world was one. There was sunlight and colors just like the lotuses,” Princess Mulberry said. Then, she said, “You seem to be very interested in him.”
“I possess the Hourglass of Time now so it’s natural that I’m curious,” Lu Zhou said.
Upon hearing this, Princess Mulberry nodded as though she thought his words made sense. Then, she said, “Well, I don’t know anything so don’t ask.”
Princess Mulberry hovered in the air as Lu Zhou put the Pillar of Impermanence away. Soon enough, the white crane flew over, and she stepped on its back.
‘How’s she a zombie? She looks more like a human than a zombie!’
Lu Zhou tried to sense Princess Mulberry again. Human bodies had warmth, heartbeats, pulse, blood flow, breathing, and such, but Princess Mulberry’s body was completely still, devoid of life and movement. There was no temperature and no heartbeat.
‘So she’s really a zombie?’
Lu Zhou found this hard to believe even if the results were rather conclusive.
At this moment, Princess Mulberry suddenly said, “He’s dead. Now, it’s your turn.”
“Hm?” Lu Zhou shook his head and asked, “You want to kill me?”
“He offended me so he has to die. You saw me make a move so you have to die,” Princess Mulberry said casually as though death was nothing to her.
It was as though she did not know what was right or wrong. It was very different from Little Yuan’er innocence. In other words, she was cold-blooded.
“So you’re trying to silence me by killing me?” Lu Zho asked.
Princess Mulberry did not reply.
Lu Zhou said, “It seems like you’re very afraid of the Great Void.”
“I’m not afraid of anyone,” Princess Mulberry said as she shook her head.
“Then why is there a need for you to silence me?” Lu Zhou asked.
This question stumped Princess Mulberry. With this, killing Lu Zhou would be admitting she was afraid of the Great Void.
Lu Zhou clasped his hands on his back and continued to say, “Moreover, no one in this world can kill me.”
“...”
Princess Mulberry frowned slightly as she asked, “Aren’t you afraid of the Great Void?”
“Make you sure have a good look,” Lu Zhou said before he flew toward the Pillar of Destruction.
Swoosh!
“Whitzard!”
Bathed in auspicious qi, Whitzard flew over and carried Lu Zhou on its back.
Princess Mulberry looked at Lu Zhou, curious and confused. She did not know what Lu Zhou was planning to do.
As the duo drew close to the Pillar of Destruction, Lu Zhou said to Whitzard, “Now.”
Whitzard spat out an orb of white light that shrouded both of them. Under the dark fog, they looked like the moon.
Now that Lu Zhou recovered his divine power, he launched a shocking palm seal at the Pillar of Destruction.
Boom!
A burst of light appeared in the air as energy rippled out violently.
Princess Mulberry flew toward the Pillar of Destruction immediately.
At this time, the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion had also flown over after seeing that everything had quietened down. They landed on a peak and looked at the Pillar of Enlightenment when they saw a huge bald circular area. Everyone was shocked.
“What happened here?”
Meanwhile, Princess Mulberry who had arrived at the Pillar of Destruction asked, “What are you doing?”
“Do you want to try destroying it?” Lu Zhou asked.
Princess Mulberry shook her head. “No.”
“Why?”
“If it’s destroyed, the sky will collapse,” Princess Mulberry replied.
“The sky will collapse?”
Princess Mulberry said, “I don’t know anything. All I know is the sky will collapse if it’s destroyed.”
“Isn’t the Great Void that will collapse?” Lu Zhou asked.
“I don’t know.”
What was the nonsense about the pillars supporting heaven and earth? Lu Zhou, who had learned of the truth, knew it was just nonsense. The Great Void was not the heaven, and the Unknown Land was not the earth. Everything was just a lie.
“I’m not afraid of the Great Void,” Lu Zhou said.
“Alright, I believe you,” Princess Mulberry said. Then, she added, “If the sky collapses, then my home will be gone.”
“Your home?” Lu Zhou said skeptically, “You’re the daughter of the Red Emperor. Where’s your home?”
“The mulberry tree is my home. It’s everything to me,” Princess Mulberry said as she looked back at the towering tree.
Lu Zhou looked at the huge mulberry tree. A thought appeared in his mind; it seemed like the mulberry tree was Princess Mulberry’s weakness. However, it was very difficult to get close to the mulberry tree.
There were many white cranes in the ring-shaped lake. Each of them glowed mysteriously as they surrounded the tree and flew back and forth as though they were protecting the mulberry tree. They would even drive away fierce beasts that came to close.
Lu Zhou descended.
Upon seeing this, Princess Mulberry descended as well.
Lu Zhou looked at her and asked, “Why are you following me?”
“The powerful Fei Huang is at the foot of the Pillar of Destruction. Anyway, are you here to take the Great Void Seed? No, that can’t be it. The Great Void Seed has yet to mature,” Princess Mulberry said to herself.
‘This woman is really troublesome.’
Lu Zhou said, “Alright, you can go back now.”
Princess Mulberry shook her head, unwilling to go back.
Lu Zhou asked, “Fei Huang?”
“You’re very powerful so you should be able to take him down. However, you’ll still be wasting quite a bit of energy. Why don’t you ask for my help?” Princess Mulberry asked.
Lu Zhou was speechless. ‘Why would I ask for help when I can deal with it?’
Lu Zhou was truly puzzled by Princess Mulberry’s behavior. He thought that if he really owed her favor, it would not be easy to repay the favour.
Lu Zhou remained expressionless as he continued to descend.
As expected, a dark shadow suddenly appeared at the foot of the Pillar of Destruction, charging out like a gigantic bull.
The white crane carried Princess Mulberry away to watch the show from a distance.
Fei Huang’s speed was as fast as lightning.
Lu Zhou instinctively struck out with his palm.
“Abandon Wisdom!”
Boom!
The two horns glowed with a black light as they pressed against the palm seal.
Due to the suddenness, Lu Zhou was pushed back.
Upon seeing this, Princess Mulberry covered her mouth and laughed. She knew that Fei Huang was no match for Lu Zhou, but it was still great to see Lu Zhou in a sorry state.
Lu Zhou mobilized the divine power, and the palm seal expanded.
Boom!
Moo!
Fei Huang did not last more than three seconds before it fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The originally happy Princess Mulberry turned dejected when she saw that Fei Huang had fallen. “Boring.”
Lu Zhou was still spotless and calm. The magical robe he wore played a huge part in this. Although he did not know what the robe was weaved from, he could sense that it was impervious to fire, water, and weapons.
“Lu Wu.” Lu Zhou called out.
Lu Wu raised its huge head before it flew over.
“I’ll leave this Fei Huang to you,” Lu Zhou said.
Lu Wu was overjoyed. It could no longer hold back and roared before it pounced on Fei Huang.
At this time, Duanmu Sheng rushed over with the Overlord Spear in hand. He cried out, “Don’t forget about me!”
Although the foot of the Pillar of Destruction had now turned into a battleground of beast emperors, Lu Zhou did not pay attention to it. With Lu Wu’s ability, it was not difficult for it to deal with Fei Huang.
“Lu Wu?” Princess Mulberry tilted her head to the side slightly.
“Do you know it?”
“No, I know its... grandfather.”
“...”
At this moment, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong arrived on Bi An and Ji Liang’s backs.
Princess Mulberry was surprised. If it were just Lu Wu alone, it would be fine. However, how could she not be surprised by the arrival of so many mounts? Moreover, they were not ordinary mounts.
At this time...
“Master, I’m coming! I’m here to help you!”
Mingshi Yin and Qiong Qi flew over at high speed.
Following that, Cheng Huang, Dang Kang, Di Jiang, Ying Zhao, and the others appeared one after another in the sky.
Princess Mulberry lowered her gaze and murmured, “A group of special people...”
“Special?” Lu Zhou did not let down his guard around Princess Mulberry so he had been standing close to her when he overheard her words.
Princess Mulberry stood on the white crane’s back as it circled the air a few times. When it came to a stop, she asked again, “What do you want to do here?” Then, she added, “Don’t destroy the Pillar of Destruction. Since I’ve broken the rules once, I can break it again.”
“Do you think I can destroy the Pillar of Destruction?” Lu Zhou asked.
“This...” Princess Mulberry lowered her head and thought about it for a moment before she said, “It seems like I’m overthinking things.”
Swoosh!
Then, Princess Mulberry and the white crane flew back to the top of the ring-shape lake. At the same time, a fluorescent light shone from the tree. It truly looked like a scene from a fairytale.
Ye Tianxin said, filled with praise, “She’s really extraordinarily beautiful.”
Little Yuan’er nodded repeatedly and said, “That’s right, that’s right.”
Zhu Honggong hurriedly chimed in, “She’s indeed beautiful, but she is just slightly inferior to Sixth Senior Sister’s beauty.”
“...”
Lu Zhou said, “She’s Princess Mulberry, one of the ten zombie kings.”
Little Yuan’er and Ye Tianxin: “...”
These words really refreshed their views of zombies. Was there such a beautiful and otherworldly zombie in this world?
Everyone was surprised.
Kong Wen muttered to himself, “This is really eye-opening. It’s too unbelievable! Even if I brag about it, no one will believe me!”
Sounds of fighting continued to ring from below.
“Maybe she’s just pretending to be a zombie. In any case, before we figure it out, no one’s allowed to approach the ring-shape lake without permission. Although she seems restricted by the rules of the Great Void, remember that these rules have little to no meaning,” Lu Zhou said.
“Pavilion Master is right.”
Zhu Honggong did not miss the chance to say, “Master is wise!”
“...”
Everyone continued chatting, but after a while, the battle still did not show any sign of ending.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong looked down at the same time. The battle was still going on intensely. They did not know when the battle would be over.
Looking at the situation, Lu Wu had already gained the upper hand.
However, Fei Huang was not an easy opponent either. Its defenses were astonishing, and its strength was so immense like it could topple mountains.
“Master, why don’t I go down and help out?” Yu Zhenghai’s hands were already itching.
“I’m willing to go down and help as well,” Yu Shangrong said.
Lu Zhou shook his head and looked at the tenacious Fei Huang that was covered in wounds before he called out, “Lu Wu.”
Lu Wu raised its head in confusion. “Hm?”
“You’re too slow.”
Lu Zhou flipped his hand that had been imbued with the divine power and pressed it down with the force of a mountain.
A Flawed Perfection fell from the sky and landed squarely on Fei Huang, easily smashing it into the ground and turning it into a bloody pulpy mess.
“....”
