Lu Zhou glanced at the Hourglass of time. He had only dealt with about 100 Templars during that certain timeframe. After all, these Templars now had the power of a supreme being. Although their comprehension of the laws was not that of a supreme being, it was still not easy to kill all of them with one strike.

Ming Xin looked down at everyone from the sky, standing above all beings. He looked like a god who ruled the battlefield, easily and confidently controlling the battlefield. He said, "You said that you've been to the Great Maelstrom many times. However, 100,000 years have passed. How could I not go there more than once?"

The Great Stone of Natural Law, the Scales of Justice, and other sacred relics all came from the Great Maelstrom after all.

Lu Zhou said, "No wonder you grew so fast over the past 100,000 years. No wonder you have the courage to reconstruct this place using the laws between heaven and earth. However, do you really think you can defeat me?"

Ming Xin replied, "I'll have to give it a try to find out. However, honorable Unholy One, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to deal with the Scales of Justice, let alone my other treasures."

Lu Zhou's cold gaze swept across the cultivators from the Sacred Temple before he said, "Are sheep without thoughts of their own worthy of fighting me?"

Upon hearing this, Ming Xin said angrily, "Weren't you the same when you were at Grand Mystic Mountain? Why are you the only one who's allowed to order others around, but I can't? Why is it okay for you to study the shackles and disregard the lives of others, but I can't do this?"

Ming Xin then spread his arms.

The net weaved by the power of the laws from the Towers of Heaven grew stronger immediately, and the Sacred Region's tremors seemed to calm down slightly.

"Since I rose to the top in the Great Void, the world had been peaceful for 100,000 years. The people in the Great Void sang and danced. There was no war, no disaster… Why is it that your era could be glorious and prosperous but not mine?!"

The Templars agreed with Ming Xin's words very much. In their opinion, if the Unholy One did not return and break the balance, their most comfortable and peaceful days would not have disappeared.

Lu Zhou said, "You're splitting hairs again." He pointed below at the Sacred Region and said, "Your glorious prosperity is built upon the darkness of countless living beings. How many humans lost their homes and how many fierce beasts lost their lives because they could not adapt to the dark and damp environment? In the vast Unknown Land, only the Great Abyss Land received a small amount of sunlight. Just for that bit of sunlight, the entire Feather tribe had to pay with the complete annihilation of their tribe just to fulfill your high and mighty Sacred Region?"

Ming Xin raised his voice and said, "That's their fate determined by heaven. It has nothing to do with me!"

"I defied the heavens and fought to break free from the clutches of fate. You, on the other hand, followed heaven's will and fought for your own selfish purposes. The world calls me a demon, but in my eyes, you're the true wicked demon!" Lu Zhou emphasized the word 'wicked'.

The war of words made the atmosphere on the battlefield even tenser.

Ming Xin felt that there was no point in talking about these matters anymore. He said, "Unholy One, accept your fate!" Then, he turned to look at the Templars and said loudly, "The demon said that our glorious and prosperous era is a lie and that we're the true demons! For that reason, we should all die and let the Sacred Region fall! What do all of you think?"

These words naturally provoked the Templars. They seethed in anger as they shouted in unison, "We're willing to fight to the death with the demon to protect the prosperity of the Sacred Region!"

Lu Zhou did not care about them. He looked up at the ten pillars of light. He shifted his eyes and looked at the projection; he saw his ten disciples who were bound, and he saw countless cultivators who did not stop sacrificing themselves in the nine domains. The difference between the weak and the strong was glaringly obvious. Finally, Lu Zhou spat out three words expressionlessly, "As you wish."

Following that, Lu Zhou's divine mark robe began to flutter in the air. Blue electric arcs appeared and covered his entire body. His pair of blue eyes were breathtaking, and even his hair flashed with blue electric arcs.

Although the Templars were in high spirits and possessed the power of a supreme being, they still could not help but instinctively retreat at this moment. After all, how could fear that had been deeply engraved in their bones be dispelled with just a few rousing words?

Swoosh!

Lu Zhou arrived in front of Ming Xin.

Ming Xin did not want a confrontation with Lu Zhou so he flashed away immediately. At the same time, the Great Stone of Natural Law flew into the sky, strengthening the inescapable net. Then, he said, "Kill!"

The Templars manifested their avatars and charged toward Lu Zhou. They surrounded him and attacked him.

Lu Zhou looked at the Templars frostily. It was fine if he did not make a move, but if he made a move, it was definitely going to shock the world. He said, "I'll grant you your wish!"

Buzz!

The golden lotus bloomed under Lu Zhou's feet as he tossed the Hourglass of Time out again. As the divine Dao power burst forth, the law of time suppressed all of the Templars.

Then, the sun disks, moon disks, and star disks bloomed in the sky. The nine light disks were covered with blue electric arcs as well.

This was the first time that Lu Zhou had imbued the light disks with the unadulterated divine Dao power. The golden and blue colors reflected off each other, leaving the Templars horror-struck.

Similarly, the other cultivators in the Sacred Region were horrified.

"As expected of the Unholy One! Since ancient times, he's probably the only one who has such a unique move!"

"It's said that the Unholy One devoted his life to breaking the shackles and studying the essence of heaven and earth. I'm afraid ordinary laws are useless against him."

Someone retorted aggressively, "Stop praising the enemy and lowering your allies' morale! He wants to destroy our Sacred Region! Not only is he a demon, but he's also our enemy!"

"That's right! What gives him the right to stand high above us? Why does he have a say in whether we get to live in this prosperous place or not?!"

All the rational voices were drowned out by those with anger and hostility.

…

Back in the sky.

The nine light disks that held the purest energy in the world shot out in all directions.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Templars held their astrolabes in front of them, but they were still sent flying when the terrifying power hit them.
