Lu Zhou did not say anything. The divine Dao power in his hand only grew stronger and stronger.
Hua Zhenghong laughed crazily. When her laughter subsided, she cried out, "Why?! Why should we be your stepping stones?!"
"Stubborn!"
Swoosh!
A blue palm seal shot out toward Hua Zhenghong. She hurriedly crossed her arms in front of her.
Boom!
Hua Zhenghong was pushed back about 3,000 feet in the sea as she began to throw up blood again.
Lu Zhou flipped his right hand, and the Purple Glazed Ceramic appeared.
Swoosh!
A freezing energy swept out, covering 100 miles. The entire place was frozen in just an instant. Even the sea was frozen into ice.
Hua Zhenghong's blood-drenched body was encased in the ice. Her eyes were filled with pain as she looked at the sky.
Lu Zhou landed on the frozen surface of the sea and leisurely walked forward until he came to a stop in front of Hua Zhenghong.
Hua Zhenghong said, filled with despair, "Why? Why should we be sacrificed just so you could live forever… Why?"
Lu Zhou said expressionlessly, "I taught you cultivation methods, and I taught the world. Don't tell me you think I was going to kill everyone in the world?"
Hua Zhenghong cackled like a madwoman.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou waved his hand, and a wave of energy slapped Hua Zhenghong's face. He looked down at her and asked, "You can still laugh?"
The pain caused Hua Zhenghong to stop laughing immediately. Then, she said resentfully, "Eternal life is just living as long as the heavens and earth. The heavens and earth give birth to all things. What's wrong with the law of conservation? If there's life, there's death. If there's death, there'll also be life. Why is there a need to pry into the power of the abyss? What's eternal life? Can it be called eternal life when you want to use our life force to live forever?"
Lu Zhou frowned and asked, "Is that why you betrayed me?"
Hua Zhenghong's eyes were bloodshot as she continued to say, "I refused to accept my fate! Why should I? Everyone has a right to live! Don't tell me that you think only you have a right to live? You studied the shackles of heaven and earth, but do you even care about the people of the world?! You were short of four power cores! Don't tell me you didn't intend on using the four of us to make up for the lack of the power cores!"
Lu Zhou slapped Hua Zhenghong again with another wave of energy. He said in a dark tone, "Evil creature. How many years have you lived? How long have you cultivated? Do you not know my path?"
Memories of the Unholy One appeared in Lu Zhou's mind. There were mountains, rivers, and, lands from ancient times. At that time, humans had no clothing, language, or names. It was a desolate era; it was primitive and pure. He had witnessed the growth of all things, the rise and decline of life, the changing of the sun and moon, and the flowing passage of time…
Lu Zhou asked, "Who do you think you are to speak as though you know everything in front of me?"
"..."
After a moment, Hua Zhenghong laughed again. "You think you're high and mighty, and your truth is the only truth. However, didn't you still fall 100,000 years ago?"
Lu Zhou's blue eyes flashed as he said, "Then, I'll let you see today if I've fallen or not."
Lu Zhou raised his hand that shone with a blue light.
Crack!
He grabbed Hua Zhenghong's neck and forcefully pulled her out of the frozen water.
When Hua Zhenghong met Lu Zhou's blue eyes, a magical scene appeared, She saw scenes from 100,000 years ago. She was the glorious Grand Mystic Mountain, standing tall between heaven and earth. She saw countless people kneeling in front of the Unholy One. She also saw the Unholy One's power from the abyss that could overturn the mountains, the sun, and the moon. The past replayed itself, and she even saw herself.
When Hua Zhenghong was young, she joined the Grand Mystic Mountain to cultivate. When she came of age, she hunted fierce beasts in the Great Void. She saw scenes of her becoming a supreme being and forming light disks. Before the glorious scenes, she saw scenes when her days were like mud.
Scenes after scenes flashed past Hua Zhenghong's eyes before realization dawned on her. She was stunned. When she tried to breathe, she found that she could not breathe. Her eyes were filled with fear and shock.
"Hua Zhenghong, you're unfilial and disobedient. Today, I'll sentence you to death!"
Lu Zhou tightened his grip around Hua Zhenghong's neck.
Energy tried to surge out of Hua Zhenghong's body to repel Lu Zhou, but it was useless, He easily crushed her energy. Then, he lifted his left hand and pushed her out.
Boom!
Hua Zhenghong, who was completely drenched in blood, flew back. Perhaps, due to Lu Zhou's long-term physical and mental oppression and the arrival of death, she had forgotten her fear in her despair. She released her vitality energy, which could generate an extremely powerful explosion. Just an explosion from a light disk that contained 300,00 years of life was devastating. One could imagine the devastation if she exploded all her light disks.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Six light disks appeared one after another around Hua Zhenghong and expanded quickly. Then, they shot out in different directions above the Endless Ocean.
Hua Zhenghong's face was stained with blood as she laughed and said, "Since things have come to this, I can no longer turn back… Teacher, farewell. I hope my final move will satisfy you!"
Boom!
As the light disks began to explode in the sky, Hua Zhenghong looked at Lu Zhou who was shrouded by the Golden Buddha's Body.
Following that, a blue avatar suddenly rose up and carried Lu Zhou in its arms, forming a shield around him. The blue lotus under its feet with fourteen leaves spun rapidly. Then, the golden lotus appeared next to the blue lotus. The 36 Birth Charts on the golden lotus lit up along with the 27 Birth Charts on the blue lotus. Jian Bing's life heart had helped him activate 5 Birth Charts, raising his Birth Chart count from 22 to 27. Soon after, a light disk appeared.
With all this, Lu Zhou withstood the explosion.
"..."
Hua Zhenghong's eyes widened. Her heart raced wildly in her chest before it stopped abruptly.
The frozen sea shattered from the force of the explosion immediately. Water from the bottom of the sea rose up like a tsunami as countless weak sea beasts were instantly killed. Blood dyed the sea red in just an instant. The area within 30,000 feet of the sea was filled with the sea beasts' dismembered carcasses.
When Zhi Ming felt the powerful disturbance, it could not help but lift its head, causing the seawater to rise even more.
When the people on the Lost Island saw the towering wave in the far distance, they felt as though the end of the world had come.
Meanwhile, the explosion from the light disks swept out, destroying everything in its path.
Bai Zhaoju looked around with an expression of helplessness as he watched the shockwave draw closer and closer to the Lost Island. It was too late to stop it now.
"Damn it! I really can't protect my little life!" Jiang Aijian said.
"Come here," Bai Zhaoju flashed to Jiang Aijian's side and protected him. Then, he manifested his avatar that stood in front of them to protect them.
At this time, Zhi Ming let out an angry roar. The ancient formation on the Lost Island was instantly activated.
The seawater formed a 100,000-foot-tall wall before it was frozen by Zhi Ming and the ancient formation.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The shockwave and the tsunami were blocked by the towering wall!
…
After an unknown amount of time, the peace finally returned to the Endless Ocean.
In the far west of the eastern Lost Island, two avatars, one tall and one short, overlapped with each other and looked down at the sea.
Lu Zhou, who was like a grain of sand compared to the avatars, flew up to the avatars' foreheads. His blue eyes swept across the sea.
Hua Zhenghong, one of the Four Supreme Beings, had long been reduced to ashes.
The ancient Dragon Soul in Lu Zhou's divine mark robe let out a thunderous roar as though it was announcing to the world that the Unholy One, the supreme ruler whose name made the Great Void tremble, had returned.
The carcasses of the sea beasts floated in the bloodied water.
The metallic smell of blood permeated the sea breeze.
It did not take long before a large number of sea beasts rushed over from all directions, fighting for food.
Humans were no different from the sea beasts.
It was just the law of nature.
