Chapter 1369: Flawed Perfection
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Fire Phoenix fell into a brief daze. Then, it swept its wings across the sky at Lu Zhou’s clones, harmlessly dispersing them.
Qin Renyue, Fan Zhong, and the others were slightly surprised when they saw Flawed Perfection.
Flawed Perfection seemed to have traveled through the void.
Logically speaking, the palm seal should have shot out from the palm and flown according to its trajectory before hitting its target. However, this palm seal vanished for an instant when it appeared. When it reappeared a distance away, it flew out in a dazzling straight line with the center missing.
From the Fire Phoenix’s point of view, the palm seal was quite a distance away. However, it did not know what happened, but the palm seal suddenly appeared in front of it.
Boom!
The palm seal landed on the Fire Phoenix’s chest. Its eyes widened in shock as it screeched in pain.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the Fire Phoenix being pushed 1,000 meters back by the immense force.
“It landed!”
“The attack landed!”
“The Fire Phoenix has an immortal body. This palm seal looks ordinary so how did it injure the Fire Phoenix? Moreover, the Fire Phoenix hides its body in the flames so it’s difficult to accurately hit it.”
“If I have the answer to your question, then I’d be a Venerable Master myself.”
At this moment, the Fire Phoenix flapped its wings again, seemingly recovered. Then, it spat out another ball of flames that was even more terrifying and hotter than before.
The flaming sky cast a red light on the northern training hall, making it look as though it was drowning in a sea of fire.
Lu Zhou did not use his astrolabe. Instead, he brought Unnamed in the form of a shield out before he flew forward.
Qin Renyue nodded. “Brother Lu still hasn’t cast his Golden Buddha’s Body. Even the Fire Phoenix was helpless against his Golden Buddha’s Body at that time.”
Fan Zhong did not see Lu Zhou fight the Fire Phoenix with the Golden?Buddha’s Body previously. He had heard about it, but he had always been skeptical about news from the Unknown Land. Moreover, he did not think Venerable Masters were a match for divine beasts. Nevertheless, he said perfunctorily, “The Golden Buddha’s Body’s defenses are indeed amazing.”
Fan Zhong knew Qin Renyue thought very highly of Lu Zhou and was determined to forge a good relationship with Lu Zhou. To that end, Qin Renyue could even look past Qin Moshang’s death. Not only that, but Qin Renyue even dared to go to the royal palace and fight the fake emperor of Great Qin in the Ultimate Formation.
Fan Zhong thought Qin Renyue was really bold with his actions. However, he knew he could never act in this manner. With just one wrong step, he would fall into the abyss, unable to leave.
In the past, the cultivation base of the fake emperor of Great Qin had always been a mystery. The four Venerable Masters did not underestimate him at all. Even Tuoba Sicheng did not dare to mess with the royal family. All sorts of signs pointed to the fake emperor of Great Qin being very strong. And yet, Qin Renyue still dared to firmly stand by Lu Zhou’s side. In the end, his gamble paid off.
Unnamed that was imbued with the divine power glowed golden and blue. After a moment, the two lights suddenly merged, turning sort of… green?
Qin Renyue who caught a brief flash of it exclaimed, “Green?!”
At this moment, Lu Zhou, who was holding Unnamed in front of him, arrived in front of the Fire Phoenix. After half a year of tempering his body in extreme heat in the depths of Skywheel Mountain, he could finally see the use of it. Coupled with his power as a Great Venerable Master and the divine power, he was able to withstand the firestorm.
“Ice Seal.”
Fight fire with ice. Cold versus heat.
The winner would be whoever had more vitality energy.
When Lu Zhou cast Ice Seal, he had used half of his divine power as well.
The freezing energy instantly dispelled the high heat.
Lu Zhou felt much better. He felt as though he had stepped into the cold universe on a dark lonely night.
On the contrary, the spectators found it even more unbearable now. The feeling of extreme heat and cold caused them to sweat and shudder even if they were cultivators.
In just a moment, the Fire Phoenix’s flames were extinguished. The ice spread quickly, freezing the Fire Phoenix with its wings fully unfurled. Then, it fell down.
Lu Zhou stepped forward; the eight trigrams appeared beneath his feet while Yin Yang seals appeared on his body. From all directions, Primal Qi converged, looking like a dragon. Then, he launched another Flawed Perfection.
Qin Renyue’s eyes widened. “Great Venerable Master?!”
Fan Zhong had also discovered this, but he was calmer. “So the Great Venerable Master is Pavilion Master Lu.”
Shang Yan, the Valley Master of Hurricane Valley, laughed. “Venerable Master Qin, were you playing a joke on us? Pavilion Master Lu is right in front of us, but you deliberately misled us.”
Gu Ning from the Phantom Union chimed in, “I was wondering how could a Great Venerable Master be so young. Moreover, how could a disciple surpass his master? As it turns out, the Great Venerable Master is Pavilion Master Lu.”
They felt they had been dragged into the gutter by Qin Renyue.
Qin Renyue turned to look at Mingshi Yin, but Mingshi Yin looked at him with an expression that seemed to say, “What are you looking at? I told you earlier, but you didn’t believe me and insisted on being stubborn.”
Qin Renyue looked away, feeling slightly embarrassed. He should have known it was impossible. He knew Mingshi Yin spent a lot of time sleeping. How could Mingshi Yin become not just a Venerable Master, but a Great Venerable Master in just a few years? The Great Void Seed was indeed amazing, but it was not so amazing to the extent where it could transform one into a Great Venerable Master in just a few years. On the other hand, now that he thought about it again, Lu Zhou was already a Venerable Master. It was perfectly reasonable for Lu Zhou to break through and become a Great Venerable Master. It made perfect sense.
The difference between an ordinary Venerable Master and a Great Venerable Master lay in their comprehension of the Dao, which dictated the number of laws that they had mastery over. Ordinary Venerable Masters had mastery over one law, and the range of their control was rather small. On the other hand, Great Venerable Masters had mastery over two or even three laws, and their range of control was much bigger and lasted longer as well. For this reason, Great Venerable Masters could easily neutralize ordinary Venerable Masters’ powers of the Dao.
The longer Qin Renyue looked at that palm seal that gathered all the vitality energy in the surroundings and left ripples in the void, the more convinced he was that it was the power of a Great Venerable Master.
Flawed Perfection fell from the sky. It vanished, and when it reappeared again, it was above the Fire Phoenix’s head.
Everyone was stunned that Lu Zhou was able to control it from almost 100 meters away.
Boom!
In a battle between experts, even the slightest difference was like an insurmountable chasm. With a distance of 100 meters, many things could be done. Lu Zhou could launch a sneak attack from any direction at any given time.
When the palm seal landed on the Fire Phoenix, a burst of light exploded, illuminating the sky like the sun.
The ground within 100,000 feet trembled. Meanwhile, the sky above the Qin clan’s estate lit up dazzlingly. Even from 1,000 miles away, one could see the brilliance from the horizon.
Crack!
The moment the Fire Phoenix landed, the layer of ice around it shattered. It flapped its wings immediately. It was further enraged after being knocked down. It soared into the sky, rushing toward Lu zhou.
Lu Zhou frowned. “You’re not injured?”
Either the Fire Phoenix’s healing ability was very high or his strike missed. There was no way it could be uninjured if his strike had landed. Lu Zhou felt very confident about that palm seal.
“Very well. I’ll give you another palm seal…”
This time, Lu Zhou brought the Purple Glazed Ceramic out. Previously, he had used his life heart’s Ice Seal ability. This time, he was going to use the Purple Glazed Ceramic’s ability.
Upon seeing the Purple Glazed Ceramic…
“Infinite grade?”
“It’s very normal for a Great Venerable Master to have an infinite-grade weapon,” Qin Renyue nodded as he said.
“Indeed…”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
While they were chatting, energy burst from the Purple Glazed Tile.
The Fire Phoenix screeched. It had just arrived 100 meters in front of Lu Zhou before it was frozen again. Once again, it turned into an ice sculpture and fell from the sky.
Lu Zhou raised his hand. Unnamed in the form of a sword released an incredibly long energy sword that stabbed at the Fire Phoenix’s body. He had imbued the divine power into the energy sword as well.
Bang!
The sound resounded thunderously in the sky, and the earth split.
It looked as though a giant sword had nailed a frozen sparrow to the ground.
The battle seemed to have ended.
Everyone was in disbelief.
“It’s over?”
“The divine beast is defeated?”
No one dared to wonder out loud how a divine beast, which was comparable to a Saint, was defeated by a Venerable Master.
Meanwhile, Shang Yan exclaimed in shock, “Another infinite-grade weapon?”
Qin Renyue said, “There’s no need to be so surprised. Brother Lu has at least three infinite-grade items.”
“T-t-three? O-okay…”
