When the nine Templars, who were temporarily given the power of a divine emperor, arrived at the eastern pavilion, another powerful beam of light shot up into the sky. It was several times stronger than the one before. The electric arcs were also more distinct. It looked like a water dragon, and it was as blue as the sea.

The tyrannical power of the beam of light caught the nine Templars off guard.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The nine Templars felt the power surging toward them so they hurriedly brought their astrolabes out and held them in front of them. They were all pushed back at the same time. Just a beam of light repelled the nine Templars.

Nan Ping looked at the eastern pavilion with a grave expression. He felt chills running up his spine. He raised his hand to stop the others before he said, "Be careful."

At this moment, a huge head emerged from the forest and looked at the nine Templars disdainfully. Then, it said, "Where did these ignorant people come from? How dare they act so atrociously in front of the Pavilion Master?"

It was none other than Lu Wu. It had long become a divine beast. With the nourishment from the Great Void Seed and beast essence, it was no longer the Lu Wu of the past.

Nan Ping glanced at Lu Wu and said, "A divine beast that speaks the human language."

Lu Wu said in a deep voice, "I'm warning you. You better scram as soon as possible."

Nan Ping cupped his fists together and said, "I apologize, but we can't leave. If we don't meet the Unholy One, we won't be able to explain ourselves to the Great Emperor."

Their mission, Ming Xin's purpose, was to test the Unholy One's power, after all.

At this moment, an indifferent voice rang from the western pavilion.

"Ignorant juniors. How dare you speak here? How dare you act arrogantly on Golden Court Mountain?"

Nan Ping and the others looked over and saw an old man standing with his hands on his back. He was staring at them with a smile on his face.

The Templars did not recognize him so Nan Ping asked, "Who are you?"

"You don't deserve to know my name. Let alone you, even if Ming Xin sees me, he'll have to treat me with respect," Jie Jin'an said. He was indeed qualified to say such words.

Jiang Aijian who knew of Jie Jin'an's relationship with the Unholy One nodded in agreement and said, "Senior Jie, since you're here, we, juniors, don't have to get involved."

Nan Ping was very cautious. He sensed the other party's cultivation again. However, no matter how many times he did so, he found that the other party was only a Dao Saint. He had come to meet the Unholy One. He was not even afraid of facing the Unholy One, why would he be afraid of a Dao Saint? Moreover, all ten of them now had the power of a divine emperor even if it was just temporary. There was no need to be overly afraid. Hence, he said, "I came to visit the Unholy One under the orders of the Sacred Temple. It's best if you don't stop me."

Jie Jin'an said, "Listen to this old man's advice. The ground here isn't a place young people like you can afford to tread. Leave the Sacred Temple. Find a remote place and live a good life. Don't set foot in the cultivation world again."

"???"

How could Nan Ping heed such advice? He waved his hand, releasing a wave of energy to test Jie Jin'an's strength.

Jie Jin'an was restrained by the powerful law of space as soon as the energy swept over.

A Templar with a fiery temper brought a light disk out and said, "Don't waste your breath him. Don't forget that we're divine emperors!"

The light disk shot out along with the wave of energy and crashed against Jie Jin'an's protective barrier. Without any suspense, he was sent flying.

Boom!

Nan Ping frowned. 'That's it? Why is he bragging when he's so weak? Who is he pretending to be?'

Then, Nan Ping kept thinking to himself, 'We're divine emperors, we're divine emperors. Divine emperors are the most powerful cultivators in the world. Who in the world is a match for divine emperors?'

With this thought in mind, after Jie Jin'an was sent flying, Nan Ping felt that no one could stop him from entering the eastern pavilion. Hence, he was more decisive than before. He stepped on his green lotus that was surrounded by light disks and flew toward the others at the eastern pavilion. However, just as he arrived at the top of the eastern pavilion…

Boom!

Another beam of light, which was stronger than the previous two, shot up into the sky. The shockwave itself disregarded the power of the laws from Nan Ping.

Boom!

When it crashed against Nan Ping's light disks, the light disks began to flicker as though they were going to break.

Nan Ping grunted. His blood and qi surged violently in his body. His face was red, and his mind was blank.

"What power is this?!"

The other nine Templars sensed the strangeness of the power and retreated. At the same time, they looked at the beam of light in the sky that flashed with electric arcs.

A circle of light appeared in the sky, rippling. After a moment, it began to form what looked like a faint blue light disk.

"Blue sun disk?!"

The electric arcs crackled.

Nan Ping sensed the energy fluctuations. He looked down and saw a figure flashing up into the sky.

The figure was also covered in electric arcs. His eyes shone with a blue light, and his hair and robe were fluttering in the wind. His spirited eyes were trained on Nan Ping at this moment.

Nan Ping shivered involuntarily. He said in a trembling voice, "Un, Unholy… One?"

The other nine Templars stared at Lu Zhou with their eyes wide open, unable to say a word. Their confidence, painstakingly built with repeated words of self-affirmation, collapsed as soon as they saw the Unholy One. Even after 100,000 years, their knowledge of the Unholy One made them fear him.

Lu Zhou did not move. He stared at the ten Templars with his hands on his back. Then, he swept his gaze past Jie Jin'an, Jiang Aijian, and Princess Mulberry in the distance. He had completed the activation of his Birth Charts ahead of time with the help of the Scripture of Sermons, the 10,000-time-increase by the Pillar of Impermanence, the Purple Glazed Ceramic, and the vitality energy from his mounts.

Lu Zhou raised his head to look at the light disk, deep in thought. This was the blue avatar's second light disk. At this point, the blue avatar had completely surpassed the golden avatar.

Lu Zhou took a step forward. With just one step, he arrived in front of Nan Ping. The blue lotus bloomed under his feet.

The 36 Birth Chart zones were connected on the lotus seat, and they burst forth with light power before 14 leaves appeared.

"14, 14… 14-leaf supreme avatar?!"

Nan Ping felt as though his breath was stuck in his throat as a wave of energy surged toward him.

Bang!

Without any suspense, Nan Ping was sent flying. Under normal circumstances, he should have been able to block the attack with the might of a divine emperor. However, the energy from the blue lotus seemed capable of breaching his defenses and disregarding the laws.

At this moment, a stronger Great Dao law shattered all of Nan Ping's laws as the blue light disk flashed, covering Nan Ping's green light, and sent him flying. Who else could defeat a divine emperor with just one step?

The moment the light disk was formed, Lu Zhou's remaining divine power completely turned into the divine Dao power. It was the purest power of the Dao in the world.

The other nine Templars watched, dumbstruck, as Nan Ping was sent flying.

'Is there such a huge difference between divine emperors?'

The answer was obvious.

If there was no difference between divine emperors, how could the Four Emperors of the Lost Lands leave their homes in the Great Void to wander outside?

There were definitely differences between divine emperors, let alone these fake divine emperors.

The ten Templars were only granted the power of a divine emperor. They could control the power, but they did not understand the laws at that level. At a higher level, one's comprehension of the laws determined one's strength. The more powerful the laws, the stronger one would be.

Lu Zhou had long understood this, and he understood even more after leaving the Scripture of Sermons. At that time, he also realized something. Each of his ten disciples had comprehended one of the great laws. However, there was one great law that was missing from the ten great laws: the law of time. Coincidentally, the great law that Lu Zhou comprehended was the law of time.
