My disciples are all villains.

Chapter 1588 The Heaven Suppressing Pestle; Defeating Emperor Yu

Emperor Yu frowned slightly as he thought to himself, ‘If you don’t even remember clearly, how am I going to give it to you? Aren’t you making trouble for no reason? As expected of the Unholy One!

Outwardly, Emperor Yu said, “Let me think about it.”

Lu Zhou nodded. Then, he raised his head and looked at the magnificent hall before he asked, “How did you afford to build such a magnificent hall in the Great Abyss Land?”

Emperor Yu smiled and said, “I have a clear conscience. The Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction is the most important pillar between heaven and earth. I’ve led the Feather tribe and protected it for generations so I deserve such a treatment.”

Lu Zhou asked, “Aren’t you afraid that when the sky collapses, you’ll be the first to fall?”

Emperor Yu was not surprised by these words. He said, “If the sky collapses, countless lives will be lost. At that time, the Feather tribe won’t be the only one to suffer a disaster.”

“How do you know it’ll be a disaster if the sky collapses?” Lu Zhou asked.

Emperor Yu was stunned by these words. Ever since he was young, he had been taught about holding up the sky and not allowing it to collapse. Many wise men in the tribe had warned him that if the sky fell, the consequences would be unimaginably disastrous. He had been indoctrinated since young that he should sacrifice his life if it meant it could keep the sky from falling. Lu Zhou’s words contradicted what he had been taught; he found it incomprehensible.

Finally, Emperor Yu said, “If the sky collapses, the entire Unknown Land will be destroyed. How can it not be a disaster?”

“The universe has its own laws. The sun and the moon change along with day and night. There’ll always be changes,” Lu Zhou said.

Emperor Yu did not understand Lu Zhou’s words. He cupped his fists together at Lu Zhou and said, “You’re my senior since you’re older than I am. In terms of knowledge and experience, you’re far superior to me. However, how can you be sure that the earth won’t fall apart if the sky falls?”

The catastrophe brought by the land splitting was too terrifying. The rivers of blood from 100,000 years ago left a deep impression on Emperor Yu.

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “You’re wrong.”

Emperor Yu said humbly, “Please enlighten

me.”

Lu Zhou said confidently, “If you have the time, you can go to the bottom of the abyss near Dunzang’s Pillar of Destruction to have a look. Feel the power in the abyss. The earth is much more powerful than you can imagine. The land splitting is just the evolution of earth. Humans trying to stop the change are no different from ants trying to shake a tree.”

Emperor Yu was slightly surprised. He thought about the Unholy One’s battle with Tu Wei that created the abyss. He also recalled his conversation with Ming Xin about how a vast power underground supported every Pillar of Destruction. It seemed like Ming Xin and the Unholy One were both aware of this.

Na

Although Emperor Yu had been there, he did not understand the power of the abyss. Finally, he asked, “Senior, are you saying that the collapse of the Great Void won’t affect the earth?”

Lu Zhou scoffed. “Didn’t your elders tell you that the Kun in the Endless Ocean has been circling the earth for 100,000 years?”.

Lu Zhou had learned this from the Unholy One’s memory crystal.

Emperor Yu was stunned when he heard this.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion were also shocked. They had all seen the huge Kun in the Endless Ocean. No one knew exactly how powerful it was.

Emperor Yu naturally heard about the Kun circling the earth for 100,000 years. He asked, “Why is it circling the earth?”

“Fierce beasts like humans want to live forever. The earth has enough power to extend its life,” Lu Zhou said.

Emperor Yu was shocked by this revelation.

Lu Zhou continued to say, “The world only knows that the Kun roams the ocean, but they don’t know that it’s skilled in… flying as well.”

Everyone exclaimed in surprise. Emperor Yu did not know much about the ancient times. What he knew was limited to what the wise men and elders told him. Even then, there was not much they knew. Hence, he was shocked by this as well. He continued to ask in a humble manner, “Then why doesn’t it fly?”

“First, there’s no need. Second, its time is drawing close, and it needs to conserve its energy. Humans and other fierce beasts are just ants in its eyes so it can’t be bothered with them,” Lu Zhou said.

Everyone appeared enlightened as they listened to Lu Zhou. The more they heard, the more excited and curious they became.

Emperor Yu said, “Great Void said it’s an Equalizer, and it has protected the world for many years. Are those words fake?”

“It’s true that it protects the world, but it may not be an Equalizer,” Lu Zhou said.

“Since it wants the power of the earth, why protect it?” Emperor Yu asked.

In other words, would it not be easier to destroy the world to obtain the power of the earth? What did the lives of humans and fierce beasts have to do with the Kun? It could live in the ocean anyway even if the land was gone.

Lu Zhou said, “First, it’s not capable of destroying the world. Second, if it’s destroyed, the power will be lost.”

Emperor Yu fell silent. He was still skeptical and had a hard time accepting this.

Lu Zhou had said so much, but it held only one meaning at this moment: the Feather tribe was just a lackey of the Great Void and that they had guarded the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction for 100,000 years in vain.

As for whether Emperor Yu believed it or not, Lu Zhou did not care.

At this time, Lu Zhou rose to his feet and extended his hand. He said with a straight face, “Hand over my possession, and the conflict between me and the Great Abyss Land will be written off.”

Emperor Yu’s expression turned a little unnatural. Looking at Lu Zhou’s serious expression, he sighed and waved his hand. “Wait a moment.”

Emperor Yu vanished into thin air. In less than 15 minutes, he returned, holding a rectangular brocade box with black runes engraved on it. He said, “When the late Emperor was still around, he said this was left behind by a mighty figure who suppressed Ming Xin. Until now, I don’t know its functions. I think senior must be talking about this item.”

Then, Emperor Yu pushed his hand out.

The rectangular brocade box flew toward Lu Zhou. He caught it in his hand and opened it with a flick of his hand. An item that resembled the Pillar of Impermanence appeared before his eyes. It was engraved with distinct patterns and was suffused with a faint light and energy.

Lu Zhou frowned. He could sense the power in the abyss in it, and he knew it was an extraordinary item.

‘So this is another item of the Unholy One…’

Three words were carved at the bottom: Heaven Suppressing Pestle.

Lu Zhou silently closed the box and tossed it to Pan Zhong before he said, “Alright.”

The item was finally in his hand. Whether or not it belonged to the Unholy One, it had exceeded his expectations.

Lu Zhou did not say anything else and turned around to leave.

However, at this moment, Emperor Yu said, “I heard that the Unholy One once dominated the Great Void. Even Great Emperor Ming Xin was not your match. I’ve always respected the strong. As a junior, it might be presumptuous, but I have a request…”

“Speak.”

“I’d like to spar so I know the gap between our strength,” Emperor Yu said with a profound gaze.

Lu Zhou turned around; his momentum remained strong as he met Emperor Yu’s gaze. He could see the battle intent in Emperor Yu’s eyes.

In fact, Emperor Yu had always longed to fight with mighty figures. Ming Xin had always looked down on him, and he also knew that he was no match for Ming Xin. Everyone said that Unholy One was extremely powerful, but he had yet to see it for himself. He felt like there was something not quite right.

Lu Zhou and Emperor Yu continued to stare at each other as their battle intent rose.

All of a sudden, Emperor Yu rushed out.

At the same time, Lu Zhou flashed.

In just a blink of an eye, the duo appeared in the sky above the Great Abyss Land.

At this time, the sun shone brightly. The birds sang melodiously, and the fragrance of the flowers permeated the air. It was a slice of paradise in the Unknown Land.

Lu Zhou and Emperor Yu faced each other from afar.

Emperor Yu extended his hand and said, “Please.”

Lu Zhou said without blushing, “I’ve never liked bullying the weak so I’ll reduce my strength to deal with you.”

Emperor Yu felt insulted by these words. He flew over like a shooting star immediately.

Lu Zhou frowned. A Thunderblast Card appeared in his hand immediately, and he crushed it mercilessly.

Space and time seemed to freeze, but they did not affect the Thunderblast Card.

A palm seal with the script for ‘Lightning’ swept out like a wall/

At the same time, lightning began to flash in the sky.

Following that, Lu Zhou tossed the Hourglass of Time out.

“Freeze.”

“The Hourglass of Time?!” Emperor Yu exclaimed in shock. He hastily crossed his arms, drawing on the power of the space to defend himself. He had completely given up on attacking

This sudden sparring session attracted a large number of Feather tribesmen. They rushed over from all directions to watch the battle.

Boom!

A lightning bolt descended from the sky above the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction.

The behemoth circling the sky above the Great Abyss Land actually let out a confused cry.

The originally sunny Great Abyss Land turned dark as dark clouds began to converge.

The behemoth in the sky flew closer, unknowingly drawing in the dark clouds and fog from outside.

Emperor Yu, who had been struck by the Thunderblast Card, felt his arms go numb. His spatial energy was actually destroyed by the lightning bolt. He grunted as he was pushed 100 yards back. When he finally stabilized his footing, he exclaimed with widened eyes, “Good move!”

Inwardly, Emperor Yu thought to himself, ‘As expected of the Unholy One! He doesn’t easily make a move, but when he does, it’s decisive and ruthless!’

Emperor Yu became even more cautious as he looked at Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou was expressionless. It was as though he could not be bothered with Emperor Yu at

all.

Emperor Yu was unconvinced. Once again, he shot out like a shooting star, tearing through space.

Now that Lu Zhou’s cultivation had increased greatly, the prices for the Deadly Strike Cards had increased to 100,000 merit points, and he did not have many merit points left. He thought to himself, ‘Forget it…’

Lu Zhou mobilized the power from the Heavenly Writing and imbued the Hourglass of Time with it. Following that, a small amount of divine Dao power rippled out in all directions in the form of a circle of light.

Following that, everything froze.

Lu Zhou appeared above Emperor Yu in just a blink of an eye. Then, he shattered an ordinary Deadly Strike Card.

A huge vortex appeared in the sky immediately.

The behemoth let out a confused cry again. As though it could sense how terrifying the power was, it quickly flew higher up into the sky away from the battle.

Following that, a pillar of light flashing with electric arcs descended from the vortex and struck Emperor Yu.

Boom!

When time resumed, Emperor Yu felt his entire body go numb as though he had been struck by a monstrous lightning bolt. The pillar of light had pierced his heart and caused his divine soul pearl to fly out.

Lu Zhou defeated Emperor Yu with just this

move.

The Feather tribesman found this hard to accept. All of them exclaimed in shock.

“Your Majesty!”

Emperor Yu looked at Lu Zhou in disbelief. He felt extremely uncomfortable. Was the gap between their strength so wide?

The divine soul pearl circled Emperor Yu thrice before it returned to his body. Then, it began to mend his injuries.

Lu Zhou was naturally not surprised by this. He did not plan to kill Emperor Yu, after all.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Yu finally regained his composure.

Then, Lu Zhou asked tonelessly, “Do you still want to continue?”

Emperor Yu inhaled deeply. Although he was unwilling, he still said, “I admit defeat.”

Lu Zhou flashed and vanished from the sky, appearing in front of the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion. Then, he walked out of the Great Abyss Land.

Along the way, the Feather tribesmen automatically retreated to the sides, opening up a path for him. No one dared to stop him. After all, even Emperor Yu was defeated by him. Who would dare to stop him?
