Chapter 969: Chapter 689: At the End of the Road
The Lost Void has always been Vilote’s safest haven.
Here, even an ordinary demigod cannot find Him.
But this time, He miscalculated.
The Void transcends all, serving as a bridge for countless worlds and spaces.
Even the deepest part of the void can be reached.
"What a good dog!" Lu Chenzhou laughed heartily, attacking with a halberd, the Divine Lotus emerged, and the dimensional void ignited like paper.
"I will... bite you to death." With no place to hide, Vilote opened its massive mouth, revealing rows of sharp dog teeth, biting into the void. The next moment, a gigantic black mouth appeared behind Lu Chenzhou, with the upper jaw reaching the sky and the lower jaw to the earth, snapping shut, tearing through tens of thousands of miles of space. Space is the foundation for other rules, and without it, other Dao rules quickly dimmed.
"Junior brother?" The senior brother searched everywhere in the outside world.
He could feel that his junior brother was battling Vilote nearby.
But he couldn’t see it because they were in different dimensions.
Yet he could see that a huge chunk of space had suddenly disappeared ahead.
It was like a dog had taken a bite out of the universe, leaving a gap shaped like sharp teeth.
"Little Lu, lure Vilote out so we can help a bit," said the Clam Girl.
Suddenly, in the missing space, a golden halberd tore through the obliterated Dao rules. A magnificent figure, bathed in golden light and with the sun and moon above its head, grasped Vilote’s neck with both arms, using all its strength to pull the dog out from the depths of the void, just like pulling out a radish.
"Watch me use the Dog Beating Stick Technique!" The senior brother’s long stick came down rolling, pushing aside the boundless Ruins Sea.
"Infinite Heavenly Light Sword!" The Clam Girl’s sword light pierced through the nine heavens like a galaxy, its sharpness unstoppable.
Vilote took both attacks firmly.
Aside from a few freaks, most people have obvious strengths and weaknesses.
Vilote’s strengths were dodging, concealment, and escape, but the rule chains couldn’t be utilized properly.
His weaknesses were defense and constitution, even worse than Camilla, who is a rank lower than him.
Plus, his invincible Divine Kingdom was shattered by Lu Chenzhou, so the buildup attacks by the senior brother and the Clam Girl caused Vilote’s divine blood to splatter.
He attacked Lu Chenzhou fiercely with all four legs.
Blades of the Void shattered the Mystic Sky Shield and tore through Lu Chenzhou’s body.
But Lu Chenzhou was unfazed, standing there like a guardian spirit with his undying body.
The senior brother and the Clam Girl unleashed all their techniques on Vilote, sparing no effort.
Soon, Vilote was covered in wounds, his Divine Body shattered, and it was a miserable sight.
As a demigod, he still possessed the most basic undying body.
As long as his Divine Power didn’t run out, he was hard to kill.
But the biggest problem was that his Divine Power was almost exhausted.
Over countless ages, the faith in Him from the Three Thousand Worlds had grown very thin.
According to the original plan, He was supposed to emerge first, then spread His faith and restore His strength.
Now, He hadn’t even walked out of the doorstep before getting blocked.
"Where is the Mo Luo Hall Master? As a demigod, why is He traveling so slowly?" Vilote cursed in his heart.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Ruins Sea, the Mo Luo Hall Master was hurriedly traversing, looking anxious.
"Although I have refined the Divine Prison Realm and can move freely, the Realm God Body is too slow to move."
That’s right, a month had passed, and He was still on his way.
A normal demigod, relying on escape skill divine powers, could travel all over the Four Great Realms in a month.
But He couldn’t, since the Realm God was inherently difficult to move.
"However, as a demigod, Vilote shouldn’t be easily extinguished."
In the Great Wilderness Forbidden Area, the gods within the Divine Kingdom watched the battle ahead like ants on a hot pan.
"Vilote is actually at a disadvantage. Has Lu Chenzhou already ascended to Great Power?"
"Not yet, but it doesn’t seem far off. His Dao Level is constantly rising."
"The Mystic Sky Alliance excavated even Void City for Lu Chenzhou’s Enlightenment of Dao. How could it not be quick?"
"The Three Thousand Worlds want to concentrate resources on Lu Chenzhou alone and let him Breakthrough Nine."
"It depends on the Mo Luo Hall Master’s performance. After absorbing the Destruction Divine Remains, He should have near middle-rank demigod strength."
"Although Vilote was once a middle-rank demigod, he’s no longer at his peak, and his real strength is just that of an ordinary lower-rank demigod now."
The Three Thousand Worlds, Mystic Sky Alliance, Xia Realm...
Countless powerful beings were paying close attention to this battle that would decide the future direction of many civilizations in the Great Universe.
"We will win. Alliance Hierarch Lu has never let us down."
"If we lose, the Void God alone could destroy us."
"Do not sit idle. Keep searching for the Enlightenment Stele or other Dao Enlightenment treasures. As long as the Alliance Hierarch Breakthrough Nine, these demigods that hold the fort will be nothing to fear. We will have plenty of time for recovery and preparation to crusade the Forbidden Zone! Go find treasure lands, relics, explore Great Power Cave Heavens..."
As Lu Chenzhou fought, the Mystic Sky Alliance stood as the most solid backing.
The civilization devoted its strength to support one person.
...
Divine battles, lasting for ages.
Time flies, Tianxia Calendar 2333.
On the battlefield, the big halberd swung across, three figures surrounded Vilote.
As His Divine Power neared exhaustion, Vilote’s strength dwindled daily.
If this continued, He would undoubtedly perish.
Even if Lu Chenzhou couldn’t extinguish His Divine Fire, and He could be reborn in the Terror Torture Demon Wolf Divine Country, He would have to start all over again.
All His demigod power would be gone.
After three years of battle, Lu Chenzhou’s enlightenment of Dao and skill level continually improved.
Inspiration came as frequently as eating and drinking.
With an ultimate strike of the Big Halberd, the "Martial God Spear" stabbed out, and thirty-six dazzling Divine Lotuses bloomed.
Each Divine Lotus had thirty-six petals, and each petal was a Dao.
There were Eighth Ranks, Seventh Ranks, and even Sixth Ranks, with numerous Daos comprehensively integrated into this spear.
"My spear skill has finally reached the Third Step." Lu Chenzhou felt elated inside.
Now he could truly become a Third Step.
The Divine Lotus tightened, giving Vilote no escape.
"My life is over, I’m unwilling... If only I were in my prime, how could I be so pathetic?"
Had I known it would come to this, it would have been better to die on the Divine War battlefield.
To die at the hands of a mortal, would make me a disgrace to the Demigods.
"The sun wails eternally!" A Great Sun containing intense Destruction Dao Essence fell, its expanded shockwave emptied and extinguished the Divine Lotus.
A figure in a black robe leisurely descended, standing above Vilote, looking at Lu Chenzhou in front of him, and smiled confidently, "We meet again."
Lu Chenzhou’s murderous intent in his eyes was practically tangible.
He had never hated someone so intensely.
The three of them took three years, exhausting countless resources of the Mystic Sky Alliance, to reach this step.
"Luo Hou elder, as a Great Power among cultivators, it truly isn’t right to ally with the Forbidden Zone." The senior brother frowned.
"Have you no shame." the Clam Girl directly cursed.
"Heh, when I was captured by the Four Heavenly Sects and the Divine Court, none of you pitied me for even a moment? The struggle for the Dao is just like this; the Divine Court is hopelessly conservative, and the Four Heavenly Sects aren’t any better. The Great Universe has long needed a complete reshuffling; why are you all so sure that the coming of the Stars’ will is a bad thing? For mortals to become Demon Ghosts and achieve eternal life, isn’t that a good thing? You must bravely accept new things."
The Mo Luo Hall Master laughed.
Behind him, the Four Great Guardians appeared, each face numb, evidently thoroughly controlled.
Especially the Great Protector, whose eyes were gouged out, leaving him expressionless and empty.
"What did you do to the Great Protector?" Lu Chenzhou asked.
"He was always my Realm God Servant, teaching a betraying dog a lesson is only natural." the Mo Luo Hall Master said.
Though he didn’t have much interaction with the Great Protector, Lu Chenzhou quite liked him, for he was also a martial arts fanatic.
Without the Great Protector, he couldn’t have successfully saved the Eternal Immortal.
"You’ve chosen the path to death." he said calmly.
"The one who should die is you!" the Mo Luo Hall Master struck down with a palm, a giant palm half the size of a Great World, imbued with destructive Qi Flow, descended.
Lu Chenzhou’s eyes narrowed slightly; the same technique, yet much stronger than before.
It seemed that the Mo Luo Hall Master gained numerous benefits from the Forbidden Zone.
Compared to the weakened states of Camilla and Vilote, the Mo Luo Hall Master was like a rising sun, showing no signs of decline.
"Hahaha, Mo Luo, don’t hold back; kill Lu Chenzhou and you’ll be a hero of the Stars!" Vilote laughed heartily.
"A lapdog of humans." the Clam Girl spat, raising her sword to kill Vilote.
But the Great Protector blocked her path; though he wasn’t her match, he still managed to restrain her.
The other three Guardians joined forces to restrain the Turtle Sage.
"Sky-annihilating Claw!" Vilote took this opportunity, and he and the Mo Luo Hall Master besieged Lu Chenzhou, their Dao Attacks pounding down relentlessly.
Lu Chenzhou wielded his big halberd more and more laboriously.
Dealing with one Vilote was already pushing his limit.
Now, with a stronger Mo Luo Hall Master added, without the support of the senior brother and the Clam Girl, the situation was imaginable.
In the end, he had just stepped into the Third Step.
He’d only been cultivating for two Jiazi thus far.
Besieged by two Demigods, he repeatedly hovered on the brink of death.
Unknowingly, he looked towards the Martial Arts Tree, finding that the number of resurrections was reduced to just over a hundred.
"Last time you escaped, but this time I’ll make sure you never resurrect again." the Mo Luo Hall Master gritted his teeth.
The Undying Body caused much trouble.
The assault became increasingly fierce, and Lu Chenzhou was completely suppressed in combat.
"Great Destruction Ruthless Slash!" Mo Luo’s one blade slashed forth, unstoppable as a bamboo splitting.
Crack—the Xuanji Nine-Star Shield shattered into powder, scattering into the void.
This quasi-Supreme Treasure was completely destroyed.
No time to lament the Nine-Star Shield, Lu Chenzhou summoned each quasi-Supreme Treasure or incomplete Supreme Treasures to resist the attacks.
Even the Supreme Treasure once known as the Shadow God’s Blade was bitten to pieces by Vilote like a mad dog.
The Golden Crow Treasure Pearl was captured by the Mo Luo Hall Master, forcibly subdued.
"Lots of treasures, but unfortunately they’re all mine now." he laughed triumphantly.
In the end, besides a halberd and a hammer, Lu Chenzhou only had the yet-to-evolve Myriad Sword Shining Dragon Armor to rely on.
His other trump cards had all been nearly exhausted in the battle against Camilla.
At this moment, he found himself at a desperate end.
The Mo Luo Hall Master’s sudden appearance had completely disrupted all plans.
In front of him, a usual Third Step was fragile as paper.
Only Kunxu could barely resist, but he had already shut into a deathly retreat, crossing a great tribulation.
Precisely calculating this, the Forbidden Zone’s witch rarely showed a smile.
"What a pity, if you had been mine in an earlier time, today wouldn’t be like this."
