Chapter 964: Chapter 684: Tearing a Demigod Apart (End-of-Month Request for Monthly Tickets)
In the shadows of the world, Vilote walked slowly.
His figure was well proportioned, with a head like a snake or a dog, ferocious and terrifying, devoid of flesh and blood, revealing stark white bones.
His limbs were long like a leopard, stepping on circles of void ripples, as if standing on the surface of a lake.
"Camilla, are these worms the ones causing you such distress?" Vilote spoke with a haughty tone.
"Don’t underestimate these people; in the Great Wilderness, they all have the potential to advance to Great Power." Camilla defended herself.
"It’s a pity I haven’t completely broken the seal; otherwise, killing these people would be as easy as a breath." Vilote stretched his muscles, and a terrifying vast divine might swept through the Great World, rushing into the Ruins Sea, but was intercepted by two immeasurably formidable wills, which slightly surprised Vilote.
Kunxu having a Great Power’s will is understandable, as its cultivation is infinitely close to a Great Power.
But that Lu Chenzhou, he’s only at the Late Stage of the Second Step.
Can someone at that level also comprehend a Great Power’s will?
"Indeed, such prey makes for an interesting hunt."
Vilote smiled, rushed out of the shadows, and with a sweep of his claws, released two Void Blades, slicing the Ruins Sea in half.
Lu Chenzhou pushed with both hands, forming thirty thousand Mystic Sky Shields into a wall in front.
In an instant, all the Mystic Sky Shields shattered, and everyone displayed their Divine Skills to block the aftermath.
"Hahaha, if you can’t withstand one strike, what about this strike?" Vilote swung his claws again, but with the sound of metal clashing, he, having already flown out of the Ruins Sea, was suddenly pulled back to the Great World by a chain. Vilote cursed angrily, "Yuan Mountain Master, you lingering ghost!"
At the top of the Great World stood the hunched figure of an elderly ape’s shadow.
He carried an iron rod on his back, his gaze calm and gentle as water, full of wisdom.
Even someone who had never met him would feel a positive impression at first glance.
"Teacher..." Lu Chenzhou looked at the old ape.
Unexpectedly, the one sealing Vilote was the Yuan Mountain Master.
Lu Chenzhou’s heart eased slightly, as Vilote had not yet fully broken free.
Their original plan was to first eliminate the soft target, Camilla, then exchange treasures at the Mountain and Sea Tower to enhance significantly, and wait for Kunxu to advance to Great Power before gradually exterminating stronger demigods like Vilote and Kilgar. But now it seemed plans couldn’t keep up with changes.
Vilote’s emergence was imminent, and Kunxu didn’t have time to advance to Great Power.
They must slay these two demigods to gain a breathing space.
When Kunxu crosses the Dao Tribulation, with a Great Power leader, dealing with other demigods would become much easier.
Otherwise, even if they could join forces to fight across realms, they could only deal with weak gods like Camilla.
Among the sealed demigods, there’s a top-level demigod like the Heavenly Disaster Demon Lord.
On the other side, Kunxu and others saw that only one Rule Chain remained on Vilote, which inevitably filled them with a slight sense of despair.
Not having dealt with Camilla already, now another stronger one appeared.
They, six in total, against two demigods, were certainly not opponents.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, perhaps we should retreat," Kunxu transmitted to Lu Chenzhou.
"We can’t fight; even if Vilote hasn’t completely broken free, we can’t match him," the optimistic Sword River Great Saint was also somewhat pessimistic.
"While Vilote hasn’t struggled free yet, we can still leave; if it’s too late, it’ll be impossible," Wan Yan Old Ghost said.
Lu Chenzhou was also somewhat hesitant inside, and he sighed, "If we leave, Camilla will quickly free Vilote, and with two demigods appearing together, we’ll have to hide everywhere. The hard-earned stability in the Three Thousand Worlds would all be in vain... everyone, please hold Vilote off for me. I’ll confront Camilla alone. I have a move, and if it succeeds, there’s hope to exterminate her, then we’ll kill Vilote."
"Without Fellow Daoist Lu’s Undying Body, it’s hard for the five of us to hold Vilote... but let’s try it," Kunxu said helplessly, raising the Immortal Ascension Platform with his left hand and holding a horsetail whisk in his right. Behind him, twenty-two various treasures emerged, each an outstanding eighth-rank treasure. Along with the two Supreme Treasures, they formed a sort of array, and within the Ruins Sea, a majestic Golden Bridge emerged across the universe.
This is the strength of the True Treasure Dao, capable of simultaneously commanding multiple treasures and establishing a "Treasure Resonance Bond."
The more treasures, the deeper the bond, the greater the strength.
"Old thing, your foundation isn’t shallow," Hei Zhou couldn’t help but sigh.
She prided herself on her deep foundation, but was far behind compared to Kunxu.
"I gathered you all to face Vilote; I must take the lead, and you assist, doing your utmost to hold off this beast. Fellow Daoist Lu is right, at this critical juncture, we have no way out; we must fight, and if we can kill two demigods, everyone will gain immense opportunities!"
Kunxu’s voice was excited, with long-lost passion surging.
All this time, he had avoided both the world and disasters, seeking to advance to Great Power peacefully.
After meeting Lu Chenzhou, he realized he was wrong, terribly wrong.
Which ancient Great Power did not emerge from countless battles?
If you want stability, don’t advance to Great Power!
Be it Martial Arts or Qi Refinement, a cultivator’s life is exciting because of battles.
Heavenly Battles, Earthly Battles, Human Battles, Only by fighting can one find a way out!
"Living too long makes one fear death... that’s enough, I’m about to sit and die anyway, retreating is no help, let’s just do it!" Wan Yan Old Ghost started burning what little vitality and lifespan he had, incredibly sublimating, "Anyone who reached the Third Step once fought with all their might."
"Seek wealth in danger, kill!" Sword Demon somehow donned a Blood Flame Cloak, adorned with stars.
He, united with his sword, transformed into a light piercing through the night sky, fearlessly charging towards Vilote like a moth to a flame.
"Everyone, come out!" Black Boat Ancestor waved his hand, burning eight True Spirit Talismans, revealing eight Exotic Giant Beasts.
Moreover, she covered her chest with various eighth-rank talismans kept in reserve.
These were inherited from the Extinguishing Method Elder, originally intended for crossing the Dao Tribulation.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you’re going alone?" Sword River Great Saint asked Lu Chenzhou before leaving.
"Yes, Vilote is considerably stronger than Camilla; you all be careful, I’ll be fine." Confident in preserving his life, Lu Chenzhou had confidence.
He was more worried about his teammates; although they hadn’t known each other long, they shared a life-and-death bond.
Sword River Great Saint dragged his sword and also entered the Great World.
Camilla looked at these figures who were trying to stop the unstoppable and couldn’t help but sneer.
"Vilote was a Middle Rank Demigod at their peak... Without an Undying Body, going there means death."
Among the stars, demigods are divided into upper, middle, and lower ranks, and top-level demigods have four classes.
Beyond that is the Supreme True God.
Vilote felt a sense of humiliation.
"A bunch of ragtag misfits dare to challenge me?"
In an instant, the Void Storm formed, tearing large spaces, collapsing around.
"Twenty-Four Bridges!" Kunxu’s Golden Bridge blocked the front, and the group stood on the bridge, not instantly killed.
Otherwise, an ordinary Third Step would die upon contact.
Seeing this, Lu Chenzhou relaxed slightly.
As long as he’s not instantly killed, he would strive to kill Camilla as soon as possible.
"Without others to help, I can kill you like killing a dog!"
The snake swayed its figure, swimming toward Lu Chenzhou.
After half a year of gathering strength, Camilla was confident to slay Lu Chenzhou.
As soon as it struck, a poison fog containing Dao attacks enveloped Lu Chenzhou.
"Half a year has passed, and you’re still only at this level, today you will surely die!" The Chaotic Heaven Great Halberd erupted with waves of golden light dispersing the poison fog, Lu Chenzhou’s surging qi-blood shook the Ruins Sea, and the golden-haired hunting dog bit towards Camilla. "Great Thousand Travel" itself is a causality attack method, hence no matter how Camilla dodged, she couldn’t escape the dog’s bites. Although not fatal, it was as uncomfortable as being bitten by mosquitoes.
"What is this ghost thing?" Camilla felt some headache.
Lu Chenzhou’s methods were more numerous than even those of a demigod.
He then opened his nearly invincible domain against non-demigods again.
In an instant, Lu Chenzhou’s halberd struck nothing.
No matter how he attacked, it seemed like there was an invisible barrier.
The Divine Lotus bloomed and burned but couldn’t harm Camilla.
"Divine Technique·Mamba’s Touch!" The snake instantly disappeared, Lu Chenzhou couldn’t even see its trace.
"Hiss." Until he saw a tiny black snake bite his neck, causing intense pain, he quickly pulled it away.
"The Dao’s poison, you can’t solve it. Next, I only need to wait for your death." The snake swam away.
Lu Chenzhou’s body instantly turned purple and green, began to decay, and was filled with a foul stench and pustules, as if melting.
He struggled to attack Camilla, his movements seeming much slower.
"The harder you exert yourself now, the more severe the poison worsens. You can only wait for death." Camilla said.
"I don’t believe it." Lu Chenzhou swung his halberd to unleash waves of Divine Lotus attacks.
Camilla only dodged and did not actively attack.
A poison snake never engages head-on.
Earlier, it was too careless, thinking it was a group of Third Steps, only daring to confront them head-on.
Time passed.
The crowd saw Lu Chenzhou’s situation deteriorating, inevitably feeling some concern.
"Friend Lu, maybe you should retreat... Can you still fight now?"
"With the green mountain left, there’s no fear of running out of firewood. At worst, just guerrilla warfare."
"Exactly."
Although Camilla was weak, facing alone was still too difficult.
The five of them were struggling against Vilote.
"It’s time." Camilla saw Lu Chenzhou about to fall and launched another divine technique attack.
Lu Chenzhou couldn’t dodge, and in the blink of an eye was engulfed by poison fog, his life and death unknown.
Camilla then went crazy with supplementary attacks, afraid he wouldn’t die.
Only until she was panting, her divine power somewhat depleted, did she let out a breath.
"With so many divine techniques, he should be dead by now."
The Dao poison was enough to dissolve Lu Chenzhou into particles.
Even an Undying Body couldn’t withstand it.
The snake probed into the poison fog, sensing.
Lu Chenzhou had completely disappeared, not even a blood mist remaining.
"Nothing much." Camilla said flatly.
Suddenly, she sensed intense danger and quickly withdrew.
Yet she saw the massive group of poison fog spanning ten thousand miles over the Ruins Sea suddenly transform into a giant golden-horned beast’s phantom.
She couldn’t escape in time and was pierced by the horn at the seventh inch, even the invincible demigod domain was penetrated.
The beast violently swung its head, lifted the snake up, its horn acting as a blade, flowing with Void Breaking Dao, forcibly splitting the snake in two.
Divine blood sprayed out like a fountain.
