Lu Zhou looked down at Yue Qi from above just like what Yue Qi did to Lu Zhou before. He watched as Yue Qi lay on the ground and spat out blood as though he had lost the energy to fight. He nodded in satisfaction before he asked, "Are you convinced now?"

This question was undoubtedly a great insult to Yue Qi who came from the Great Void and was used to lording above everyone else. Black blood trickled down the corner of his mouth as he said with a chuckle, "I won't lose my Birth Charts."

"Hm?"

"As a beast tamer, I've long refined my Birth Charts into one. In order to become a Saint, I have made preparation for thousands of years; in order to become a Saint, I've endured many years of pain and suffering; in order to become a Saint, I imprisoned myself in the Great Void's Sky Lake for 500 years. Do you know how I lived those 500 years?"

Lu Zhou thought about Tian Wu when he heard these words. Tian Wu had fused her Birth Charts and formed the Divine Soul Pearl. To become Saints, humans could also do this to protect their Birth Charts? Did becoming a Saint meant returning to simplicity and the path of an ordinary cultivator?

Yue Qi continued to cackle.

Lu Zhou was rather disgusted by Yue Qi's laughter; it sounded particularly grating to his ears. He frowned and asked, "I'll ask you again, are you convinced?"

Yue Qi struggled to stand up. When he succeeded, he said with a smile, "I have to thank you for your help."

"Hmm?"

"Thank you… for helping me become a Saint!" Black mist surged out of Yue Qi's body erratically like the sea during a thunderstorm.

It was only at this moment Lu Zhou discovered the person in front of him was not the real Yue Qi.

Swoosh!

An immense force shot toward Lu Zhou from the front at this moment.

Boom!

Lu Zhou slid back for 1,000 meters. His body was numb, and he struggled to stabilize his footing.

'Yue Qi became a Saint?'

This time, Lu Zhou felt he had gone too far. He did not have much divine energy left, and his number of Birth Charts was fewer than his opponent. How was he going to face a new Saint?

Yang Jinhong struggled to his knees before he said, "Congratulations on becoming a Saint, Great Venerable Master Yue. No, I mean, Saint Yue!"

Buzz!

A black astrolabe appeared and covered the sky.

Darkness fell immediately, and the sea beasts became restless. They flew over from all directions in the sky.

Beams of black light shot toward Lu Zhou relentlessly.

Lu Zhou kept dodging. His movements were agile.

At this moment, a voice rang from above. "I've become a Saint. Killing you is as easy as slaughtering livestock!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Beams of light kept falling from the sky as Lu Zhou continued to dodge them.

Yang Jinhong felt incredibly relieved at this moment. He retreated, afraid that he would be a casualty of the fierce battle. He would wait for the right time and rush out to deal the killing blow. With that, he would be able to get rid of the hatred and anger from losing his Birth Charts!

Meanwhile, shrouded in black mists, the sea beasts rushed toward Lu Zhou in a frenzy.

Lu Zhou cast his first Birth Trial ability, the Flaming Golden Lotus, and killed hundreds of sea beasts. However, the sea beasts kept coming like a never-ending stream.

Yue Qi said again, "You're stronger than most Great Venerable Masters. I'd like to see how long you'll be able to last."

The black beams of light continued to fall.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground was riddled with deep pits.

Lu Zhou stomped on the ground and rose into the sky. The Purple Glazed Ceramic released its ability, and the sea beasts within a kilometer radius were instantly frozen before they fell to the ground.

Yang Jinhong kept flying out of the range of the freezing energy. When he landed, he inhaled deeply before he turned to look at the sky and muttered to himself, "Is he really just a Great Venerable Master?"

Lu Zhou put away the Purple Glazed Ceramic. He could feel the pressure growing heavier, and he had used up his trump cards. He searched left and right, using his power of smell. Soon after, he caught a strange smell from behind him, and he spun around. The black astrolabe was already close to him.

"Die!"

With the black astrolabe so close to him, Lu Zhou saw the 24 Birth Charts were all connected into one. Was this why Saints could not be demoted? Before he could organize his thoughts, he was already sent flying back. He saw he was missing one Critical Block Card.

When Lu Zhou stabilized his footing, Yue Qi silently appeared behind him. He said, "You didn't lose your Birth Chart? Interesting, interesting. I'm becoming more and more interested in you."

Bang!

Lu Zhou manifested his Golden Buddha's Body to resist. However, the back of the Golden Buddha's body was dented. It could not withstand the strength of a Saint. He felt his blood and qi surged when he flew back. 'Is the gap between a Great Venerable Master and a Saint that big? Can 24 Deadly Strike Cards defeat his 24 linked Birth Charts?'

"Let me show you the power of a Saint!"

The black astrolabe bloomed in the sky again.

Boom!

The power of the Birth Charts burst forth.

The underground showed signs of collapsing at this moment.

Lu Zhou glanced in the direction of the underground palace, slightly worried. The power of a Saint was not something Si Wuya and the others could withstand.

Boom!

A beam of black light fell on the underground palace. With that, blood energy seeped out of the underground palace.

Yue Qi sniffed the blood energy greedily before he said, "A descendant of the Fire Deity? The smell of the Great Void Seed? I hope he didn't die."

Yue Qi put away his astrolabe.

If Si Wuya died, the Great Void Seed would be destroyed after all.

Yue Qi did not waste time and flew into the underground palace.

At this time…

"Ding! Your disciple, Si Wuya, has met the requirements to complete his apprenticeship. Would you allow him to complete his apprenticeship?"

Through the cracks, Yue Qi saw Si Wuya, Huang Shijie, and Li Jinyi in the underground palace. He said, "Descendant of the Fire Deity, come here!"

Yue Qi waved his hand, and Si Wuya, who was lying on the ground, slowly rose up.

Si Wuya's eyes were tightly closed, and his body was drenched in blood. He rose into the sky through the cracks.

Yue Qi could barely contain his excitement as he raised his hand and reached for Si Wuya's abdomen. He was about to obtain the Great Void Sede!

Bang!

Just as Yue Qi's hand was about to touch Si Wuya's abdomen, an immense force blocked it.

Yue Qi looked up in surprise. He did not know when Lu Zhou had arrived next to him.

"Hm?"

"It's time to end this." Lu Zhou's hand that was grabbing Yue Qi's hand burst forth with divine power.

As Lu Zhou fiercely tightened his grip around Yue Qi's wrist, Yue Qi let out a miserable cry and burst forth with the power of a Saint before he flashed away.

Lu Zhou remained unmoved. He flashed toward an empty space, and as soon as Yue Qi reappeared, he launched a palm seal.

Bang!

Yue Qi flew out. His eyes widened in shock. 'What is he? A Saint?'

Since Yue Qi had just broken through and became a Saint, he did not know much about a Saint's power. In his opinion, how could Lu Zhou be so powerful if he were not a Saint?

As Si Wuya dropped from the sky, Lu Zhou said, "Look after Si Wuya!"

Lu Zhou sent Yue Qi flying with another palm strike before Yue Qi vanished again.

Along with the Golden Buddha's Body, Lu Zhou cast the power of smell, the power of sight, the power of infinite deduction, the power of concealment, the power of past lives, and the other Heavenly Writing powers.

At this moment, it was as though Buddha himself had descended to the mortal world.

The power of the Saint dissipated when it touched Lu Zhou. He was completely unharmed.

Yue Qi paled with fright as he shouted, "Demonic relic! Go!"

When the blue electric arcs drew close to Lu Zhou, it avoided the golden light from the Golden Buddha's Body.

Upon seeing this, Yue Qi exclaimed in shock, "Un… U-unholy One?"

Lu Zhou arrived in front of Yue Qi and said expressionlessly, "Take this palm seal!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

100 palm seals filled with the divine power landed on Yue Qi's body. His body bent backward before he dropped to the ground.

Lu Zhou did not stop. He launched another 100 palm seals that landed on Yue Qi accurately again.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yue Qi spat out blood.

With the Bilateral Heaven Card, who could stand up to Lu Zhou?
