My disciples are all villains.

Chapter 1380: What’s a Great Venerable Master?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone had heard about Qin Naihe, the Free Man of the Evil Sky Pavilion, with his 16 Birth Charts. They had also heard about the legendary story of how Lu Wu, the beast emperor, used his Ice Seal ability to deal with the invaders from the green lotus domain. However, they had only heard of these things and had never witnessed them.

Everyone in the Penglai Sect knew the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion was very strong. He was so strong that they could only look up to him. His feat of single-handedly propping the floating island up back then had become the stuff of legends in the Penglai Sect.

Their horizons were constantly being broadened by the changes in the golden lotus domain. They knew the person who was known as the God of Great Yan was very strong, but the demonstration of his strength today refreshed everyone’s worldview. His strength was completely beyond their imagination.

The four or so beast kings were so easily frozen, and they shattered into pieces in just a blink of an eye. When their life hearts fell on the ice, the cultivators could not help but look at them with burning eyes. Naturally, none of them dared to pick the life hearts up. Their lives were much more important than life hearts, after all.

Lu Zhou did not even turn back to look at the beast kings he killed. He continued to stride forward in a leisurely manner on the surface of the frozen seawater. Inwardly, he was rather disappointed he was only rewarded with 1,000 merit points for each of the beast kings he killed. However, this was within his expectations. Even after becoming a Great Venerable Master, there were no changes in the reward.

The ice was clear like crystal. Through the ice, one could clearly see the shadow under the sea’s surface.

The shadow swam back and forth; no one knew what it was doing. With every ten steps Lu Zhou took, it would flash forward but sink as well.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion maintained the distance as they followed Lu Zhou.

The disciples of Penglai Sect were a little scared.

Upon seeing this, Yu Zhenghai said, “Don’t worry. With the Evil Sky Pavilion here, you’re safe.”

The Penglai Sect disciples felt much more relieved after listening to Yu Zhenghai’s words. In fact, they also wanted to see how Lu Zhou was going to kill the huge monster.

The shadow showed no signs of ascending as Lu Zhou continued to move.

Everyone watched in confusion when suddenly…

Lu Zhou came to an abrupt stop.

Boom!

The sound of collision rang from under the ice. It did not take long before cracks began to form on the ice.

About 100 meters in front of Lu Zhou, a 30-foot-tall narrow fin, like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, cut through the ice and shot toward Lu Zhou at an unimaginable speed.

Lu Zhou turned his body slightly, and the 30-foot-tall fin shot past him harmlessly, missing him by a hairbreadth. After easily dodging the fin, he bent slightly and pushed his palm down.

Bang!

A golden palm seal shot into the sea, leaving a hole in the ice. It was like a bright lamp illuminating the pitch-black sea. It was dazzling.

Wu!

A deep bellow rang from the sea again.

To be safe, Yu Zhenghai said, “Rise higher into the sky.”

“Eldest Senior Brother, they can’t fly that high,” Little Yuan’er said as she pointed at the Penglai Sect disciples. She did not have to worry about the altitude since she was riding on Whitzard.

Yu Zhenghai turned to look at Penglai Sect disciples. Then, a golden lotus bloomed under his feet. It kept increasing in size until it formed a lotus throne that held everyone up and slowly rose into the air.

The disciples exclaimed in awe and admiration as they looked at Yu Zhenghai’s Birth Palace. They were truly moved.

Under normal circumstances, cultivators would not reveal their Birth Palaces easily. After all, they would be exposing their vulnerabilities by doing so. The fastest way to kill Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators was to destroy their Birth Palaces.

In fact, Yu Zhenghai brought his lotus out without much thought for two reasons. One was due to his trust in the people present. Second was due to his fearlessness and confidence. His trust was touching, and his fearlessness and confidence were admirable.

With the golden lotus bringing everyone higher into the sky, when they looked down again, Lu Zhou already looked as tiny as an ant. After reaching a certain altitude, the lotus finally stopped moving.

Boom!

Lu Zhou’s palm seal seemed to have angered the huge beast in the sea.

Even from such a high place, the beast still looked huge. It was really humongous.

Madam Huang, who had mostly recovered, looked down at this time and asked, “Will… Will Senior Ji be able to do it?”

Qin Naihe said, “If the Pavilion Master can’t do it, then no one can.”

Qin Naihe’s words were filled with so much confidence that it boosted the confidence of the Penglai Sect disciples as well.

Madam Huang nodded and said, “To think Senior Ji’s cultivation has reached such a transcendental stage…”

Qin Naihe said, “A Venerable Master can crush an entire domain, let alone a Great Venerable Master!”

“Great Venerable Master?!”

The Penglai Sect disciples were shocked.

Qin Naihe asked, “By the way, why do you keep referring to Pavilion Master Lu as Senior Ji?”

Qin Naihe had grown curious as he continued listening to the people around him refer to Lu Zhou as Senior Ji.

Yu Zhenghai explained, “The golden lotus domain is weak. Hence, when the Evil Sky Pavilion went to the red lotus domain, in order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention to the golden lotus domain, my master changed his surname to Lu.”

“I see.” Qin Naihe nodded, thinking that Lu Zhou’s real surname was Ji.

On the other hand, Lu Li shook his head as he looked at them. Alas, he could reveal the identity of the ancestor of the Lu clan. He thought that Lu Zhou’s method to hide his real identity was truly brilliant; now, everyone thought his surname was Ji. As the saying went, ‘The older you get, the wiser you are’.

At this time, Lu Zhou looked around.

Crack!

Cracks began to form on the ice again.

Lu Zhou turned to look at the frozen remains of the beast kings. He waved his hands, conjuring countless energy swords before chopping the remains into even smaller pieces. Then, their life hearts flew into the air.

“Keep them well.”

“Yes, master!”

Everyone almost drooled when they looked at the life hearts. Apart from that, they also thought it was very convenient for Venerable Masters to harvest life hearts.

Boom!

At this moment, the huge shadow banged against the ice again, breaking the ice.

Lu Zhou tapped his toes lightly and flew into the air with movements as light as a swallow.

Monstrous waves rose into the sky immediately.

Everyone cried out in surprise. For a moment, they admired the might of the sea. If they did not rise so high earlier, they would have been in trouble.

When Lu Zhou hovered in the air, two long and narrow sea beasts that glinted with dark blue scales leaped up.

The sea beast looked like mutated eels.

“Those are Eel Kings,” Kong Wen said.

The mutated eels were not only able to discharge electricity, but they had sharp teeth and sharp claws as well. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they rushed toward Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. He pressed his hand down.

“Flawed Perfection.”

Two palm seals shot out immediately, hitting the two Eel Kings.

Boom! Boom!

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

“Ding! Killed an Eel King. Reward: 1,000 merit points.”

“Ding! Killed an Eel King. Reward: 1,000 merit points.”

Lu Zhou waved his hand, and two life hearts flew up into the sky again.

Everyone was dumbfounded. In front of a Venerable Master, or to be more precise, a Great Venerable Master, a beast king was no different from an ordinary fierce beast. Killing one was like a stroll in the park.

Swoosh!

Waves continued to rise in the sky as the beast continued to ascend in the sea.

Yu Zhenghai continued to rise higher into the sky.

Lu Zhou did not retreat. Instead, he advanced. He swooped down as he said, “Beast, I’ll take your life today!”

Lu Zhou shrouded his body with his divine power. The divine power flashed on his robe like lightning bolts.

Wu!

The whale-like fierce beast seemed to sense the approaching danger, and it began to thrash its tail wildly.

Boom!

The waves grew higher and higher.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Droplets of water comparable to energy swords shot out from the waves, hitting the bottom of Yu Zhenghai’s lotus.

Swoosh!

Yu Shangrong flew out, unsheathing his Longevity Sword.

Nearly eight million energy swords appeared, forming a circular formation. It spun in front of everyone, keeping the deadly splashes from the waves at bay.

The Penglai Sect disciples. “…”

The Evil Sky Pavilion was indeed the strongest reinforcement ever. The battle had just begun, but they were already overwhelmed by the sight.

The whale-like fierce beast swung its tail, adjusting its position.

Splash!

A pillar of water shot out from the whale-like fierce beast’s blowhole toward Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou did not dodge. Instead, he launched a palm seal that rapidly expanded to block the pillar of water.

Bang!

The pillar of water landed harmlessly on the palm seal.

Lu Zhou pushed his hand out, increasing the size of the palm seal by several times before he pushed back against the pillar of water.

Splash!

Lu Zhou continued pushing, diving into the sea. The darkness and cold seawater assaulted his senses from all directions. Thanks to the Netherwolf King’s night vision, the darkness of the sea did not hinder him. After descending for a while, he finally saw the pitch-black back of the whale-like fierce beast.

“Die!”

The palm seal that had been imbued with the divine power slammed down on the whale-like fierce beast.

Wu!

A thunderous bellow rang out, shaking the sea and stirring up a tsunami. The sea and the land trembled in unison.

The churning and turbulent sea did not affect Lu Zhou. He floated in the sea, looking at the enormous creature. With his current cultivation base, he did not need to breathe, and he was impervious to the cold.

The seawater continued to churn and surge violently.

When Lu Zhou sensed the whale-like fierce beast was rapidly descending into the depths of the ocean, he swiftly cast the power of sight and the power of hearing.

With that, he finally had a clear look at the whale-like fierce beast. He thought that the fierce beasts here could not be judged using common sense from earth.

The whale-like fierce beast was more than over 10,000 feet long.

Apart from that, he saw many beast kings swimming around the whale-like fierce beast. There were even more beast kings rushing toward it.

Naturally, sea beasts lorded over everything in the sea. When they saw humans in the sea, their eyes lit up as though they had seen the most delicious food in the world, causing them to go crazy.

More and more sea beasts, under the influence of the beast emperor and the beast kings, swam over.

Lu Zhou watched the descending whale-like fierce beast. ‘It’s too late for you to leave now.’

Lu Zhou moved like a lightning bolt toward the depths of the sea.

The whale-like fierce beast seemed angered by this. It bellowed again and thrashed.

Although it seemed like Lu Zhou was well under the sea, in fact, he was above the normal sea level due to the thrashing of the whale-like fierce beast.

Sea beasts continued swimming over from all directions.

Lu Zhou launched several palm seals at the whale-like fierce beast’s body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of the collision were thunderous even though they rang from the sea.

Buzz!

Lu Zhou manifested his avatar.

A humongous golden avatar emerged from the sea, shooting up into the sky.

The sea beasts were repelled by the golden avatar immediately.

When the golden avatar was out of the sea, the lotus under its feet began to spin furiously and burn with karmic fire. Following that, flaming lotuses burst forth.

This was the Flaming Golden Lotus, Lu Zhou’s first Birth Trial ability.

The flaming lotuses reaped the lives of the sea beasts in the air and the ones just right below the surface of the sea. Whether they were small sea beasts, ordinary sea beasts, or beast kings, they were all either skewered by the lotuses or charred black by the karmic fire before their carcasses dropped back into the sea

The sea was truly a sea of fire at this moment.

At this time, Lu Zhou flashed forward with his avatar, crossing thousands of meters in just a blink of an eye. “It’s too late for you to escape!”

Yu Zhenghai cried out enthusiastically, “Go, master!”

At this time, Kong Wen pointed below as he cried out, “Look! The life hearts!”

There were a lot of life hearts floating among the carcasses of the sea beasts.

“Don’t be anxious. You’ll have a chance to show your skills later,” Yu Zhenghai said.

“Alright. I understand, Mr. First,” Kong Wen said.

Meanwhile, Yu Shangrong withdrew his energy swords and rushed forward. If he missed out on this annual show, it would be a waste.

The whale-like fierce beast was too big so it was almost impossible for him to shake off Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou, whose avatar hovered next to him, launched palm seal after palm seal into the sea, accurately landing on the whale-like fierce beast’s back.

No matter what the whale-like fierce beast did, it could not escape from Lu Zhou nor could it hide from Lu Zhou.

“It’s afraid!”

“It’s actually afraid?!”

Everyone felt more relieved when they saw this.

Lu Zhou pursued the whale-like fierce beast relentlessly. It did not take long before he had chased it for 100 miles, leaving the area near Penglai. He had now arrived at the open sea.

At this time, Qin Naihe sent Lu Zhou a voice transmission.

“Pavilion Master, be careful. It might be trying to lure you into the deep sea. In the deep sea, there are even more powerful sea beasts.”

“Alright, I know what to do.”

The others continued to maintain a distance as they followed Lu Zhou. From afar, it looked as though a golden statue was cutting across the sea.

At this moment, another monstrous wave rose high into the sky.

The whale-like fierce beast could no longer bear Lu Zhou’s relentless pursuit. It thrashed, stirring up waves, as it rose and leaped out from the sea.

For the Penglai Sect disciples, this was their first time seeing a beast emperor.

When the fierce beast, whose body seemed capable of covering the sky, appeared in the air, the water turned into water arrows, shooting toward the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion and Penglai Sect.

Yu Zhenghai hurriedly flew back with the others in tow.

Lu Zhou put away his avatar and flashed high into the sky, confronting the whale-like fierce beast.

An enormous astrolabe bloomed in the air. All the Birth Charts lit up at the same time, exploding with unprecedented brilliance. With that, the power of the Birth Charts burst forth at the same time.

Boom!

When the pillars of light landed on the whale-like fierce beast, it left a shocking bloody hole.

At the same time, Lu Zhou’s astrolabe successfully blocked the water arrows as well.

Each of his movements was fluid and smooth.

Following that, Lu Zhou did something that seemed crazy in the eyes of the others. He put away his astrolabe. Then, he flashed and appeared above the head of the gigantic whale-like fierce beast.

“Unnamed.”

Lu Zhou imbued his divine power into Unnamed that was in the form of a sword.

With that, energy swords burst forth, piercing the whale-like fierce beast.

“Avatar!”

When the towering golden avatar appeared, it grabbed an energy sword in each of its hands and charged forward. It successfully cut the whale’s body open with a force that could tear the sky and split the earth.

“…”

What was a Great Venerable Master? With his divine power, the power of the Dao, and the heaven and earth energy, he would defy the heavens and slashed the beast into pieces!
