Chapter 1732: Announcing the Return of the Supreme Ruler to the World (1)

In the Great Void, everyone believed that the fall of the Unholy One was the work of the Sacred Temple. Under the banner of upholding justice for the heavens, the Sacred Temple joined forces with many cultivators, who shared the same ideals, to annihilate the Unholy One. Among them was the Unholy One’s former student, Hua Zhenghong.

Hua Zhenghong was one of the Unholy One’s proudest students. She knew very well what the Unholy One, who stood at the top of the world, was trying to break the shackles of heaven and earth, and she knew why he was so powerful.

100,000 years ago, no one believed the Unholy One would succeed. Eternal life was too far-fetched and sounded ridiculous. How could anyone live forever? Even common folk who did not cultivate knew that everything would return to the earth in the end. This applied even to those with the highest cultivation. No matter one’s strength or status one would eventually return to heaven and earth.

Blood gushed out continuously. Hua Zhenghong felt as though all her internal organs had been crushed. Her eyes were filled with awe and fear. These feelings were too familiar; they were just the same 100,000 years ago. The blue avatar, electric arcs, and crackling noises from electricity crushed her hope completely. She did not expect the Unholy One to succeed. It was the purest form of power in the world. It was the most primitive and pure vitality energy in the world.

‘No! I have to run!’

Hua Zhenghong, who was still vomiting blood, struggled before she tried to flee again. She intentionally spat her blood on the red lotuses in the air.

Above the Endless Ocean, the red lotuses looked as though they were being swept around by a fierce wind. More and more of them began to appear.

Lu Zhou’s eyes were filled with contempt as he said, “You’re trying to escape with the blood lotus’ spatial escape technique?”

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

Crackling noises rang in the air as the Hourglass of Time spun among the red lotuses.

Once again, faint blue electric arcs swept out, covering a radius of ten miles, 100 miles, and 1,000 miles in just a blink of an eye.

“Great Emperor Ming Xin, save me!” Hua Zhenghong cried out instinctively. Her body trembled as soon as she saw the Hourglass of Time.

Hua Zhenghong’s voice reverberated in the air. Alas, only silence greeted her.

Lu Zhou used the great power of teleportation, easily bypassing the red lotuses, and arrived in front of the frozen Hua Zhenghong. He struck with a blue palm seal that seemed to contain the might of a mountain.

A huge tear formed in the space immediately from the sheer power of the palm seal.

Rumble!

Hua Zhenhong was like a broken doll as she was sent flying back.

Lu Zhou retrieved the Hourglass of Time.

When time resumed, Hua Zhenghong felt the sharp and intense pain in her chest. She lowered her head to have a look and cried out in fear. Her internal organs were further crushed. After she fell into the sea, she screamed madly, “Nine-winged divine dragon, help me! Save me!”

Not even the shadow of the nine-winged divine dragon could be seen. Who knew where it had fled to?

Hua Zhenghong used all her strength and swam with all her might, trying to escape in vain.

Lu Zhou flew over and looked down on Hua Zhenghong, who was struggling to move forward in the sea.

Despite the difficulties and the fear in her heart, Hua Zhenghong did not give up on escaping. Alas, the Endless Ocean was too vast. There was no place for her to escape to in the open water. As far as her eyes could see, there was only the sea. When she looked up and met Lu Zhou’s blue eyes, her fear intensified.

At this moment, Lu Zhou called out in a deep voice “Hua Zhenghong.”

Hua Zhenghong trembled. She stopped moving and instinctively replied, “Yes.”

“If you’re willing to kill yourself, I’ll leave you with an intact corpse.”

Lu Zhou flashed forward, drawing closer to Hua Zhenghong. His hand shone with a dazzling blue light at this moment, ready to strike.

Hua Zhenghong froze. There was no way for her to escape. The difference in their strengths rendered her powerless. Her eyes reddened as she called out tremblingly, on the verge of tears, “T-teacher?”

Lu Zhou looked at Hua Zhenghong expressionless; his emotions did not fluctuate at all as he asked, “Oh, you still remember that I’m your teacher?”

Hua Zhenghong shook her head repeatedly as she said, “I, I beg you, teacher! S-spare, spare me…”

Supreme beings like Hua Zhenghong did not beg. Unfortunately, faced with such an opponent, she could only tremble and submit.

Lu Zhou shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice, “If I let you go, how can face myself, the people of the world, and… the members of Grand Mystic Mountain who died that year?”

“Are you really going to kill everyone?” Hua Zhenghong asked.

Lu Zhou replied tonelessly, “One might survive a disaster from the heavens, but it’s impossible to survive the disaster one caused…”

“Okay.” Hua Zhenghong inhaled deeply. Her expression gradually grew determined as she adjusted her emotions. She closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, she called out, “Teacher…”

“Shut up,” Lu Zhou scolded as he pointed at her, “A thing like you who betrayed her teacher isn’t worthy. That year, I didn’t have a chance to deal with you. Today, I’ll get rid of you and make an example out of you!”

“…”

Hua Zhenghong took a deep breath before she said resentfully, “So what? Didn’t you cultivate us for your own benefit?”
