My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 1773: To Stand on Equal Footing With Divine Emperors

??

Time was a concept in mind. It was a set of rules with an order. One second and the next second were time; yesterday and today were time; last year and the year were time. Time was the biggest mystery in the world. It was also one of the most basic and greatest laws of the universe.

Lu Zhou did not expect his light disk’s power to be so powerful that it directly sent Nan Ping flying. It was like a long time ago when he could kill a Seven-leaf cultivator with just an arrow when he used his extraordinary power, which had now evolved to the divine Dao power.

Nan Ping looked at the person with a majestic bearing in front of him, shocked and frightened. He gulped as he endured the intense pain in his Dantian’s sea of Qi.

The other party was the Unholy One who roamed the Great Void 100,000 years ago. He was the Master of Grand Mystic Mountain who could make the earth tremble with just a stomp of his foot.

The Templars did not dare to move at all. They only looked at Lu Zhou with a mixture of fear and respect.

Lu Zhou put away his light disk and flashed away. When he arrived in front of Nan Ping, he asked, “Ming Xin sent you here?”

After being beaten up, Nan Ping, who had a strong aura, was like a wilted plant at this moment. He said timidly, “Y-yes…”

Lu Zhou asked lightly, “Why didn’t he come himself?”

“H-his Majesty has… has more important things to attend to,” Nan Ping said, not daring to meet Lu Zhou’s gaze. He only snuck a glance at Lu Zhou every once in a while as he spoke.

Lu Zhou said, “I’ve been away from the Great Void for many years. It seems like Great Void still remembers me and fears me. However, I’m just one person…”

Nan Ping did not dare to speak. He understood that Lu Zhou was saying that Ming Xin was afraid of him.

“Why are you here?” Lu Zhou asked.

At this moment, Nan Ping finally remembered his important mission. With that, they were ten Templars who had been granted the power of a divine emperor. They had the support of the Sacred Temple and Ming Xin, who ruled the world. He could not be too timid. Hence, he took a deep breath and said, “I’m here on the Great Emperor’s orders to meet the Great Unholy One. I’m only here to visit, nothing else…”

As soon as Nan Ping’s voice fell, Jiang Aijian said, “Shameless! If you’re only here to visit, why didn’t you scram when I told you to scram? Not only that, but you even wanted to force your way in.”

Nan Ping shook his head immediately. “Please forgive us, Unholy One. We don’t dare to disobey the Great Emperor’s orders. If we didn’t meet you, we’d be severely punished when we returned.d”

Lu Zhou chuckled and asked, “Ming Xin sent you here to test my strength?”

Nan Ping lowered his head and did not dare to speak. The answer was obvious.

Seeing that Nan Ping did not speak, Lu Zhou continued to ask, “Do you think the ten of you are a match for me?”

“This…” Nan Ping did not dare to say anything again. After all, they were fake divine emperors. Even if they managed to win by fluke, they still did not dare to say they were a match for the Unholy One. Who knew if the Unholy One would settle the score with them later?

Alas, the Templars were not united in their thoughts. Some of them could barely restrain themselves. If Nan Ping were not the leader of the Southern Sacred Hall, perhaps, this matter would not drag on until now. Looking at Nan Ping who seemed like he was about to kneel in front of the Unholy One, they felt like this seriously went against the original purpose of their visit and their ideals of upholding justice.

Finally, a man with bushy eyebrows standing on the left could no longer endure it and shouted, “Leader Nan Ping, you really disappointed us greatly! The Unholy One is a demon! We should work together to kill him! How can you lower your head to him? You’ve humiliated the Sacred Temple and the Great Void! How can you face our brothers in the Sacred Temple and the cultivators of the world?!”

Nan Ping: “?”

The bushy-browed man pointed at Lu Zhou and said in a deep voice, “You’re just a demon cultivating the evil path! If you’ve returned to your peak, would you still be hiding here? Today, I’ve been granted the ability of a divine emperor, and I will eliminate the demon to defend the righteous path!” Then, he said thunderously, “Die!”

Along with the bushy-browed man, another two Templars shot out as well. The three of them brought their lotuses out, flying toward Lu Zhou from three different directions at lightning speed before they attacked.

Lu Zhou scoffed. “You’re overestimating yourself!”

Lu Zhou silently chanted the mantra of the Heavenly Writing. He did not hold back and unleashed the full force of his divine Dao power.

‘To gain the power of muting and staying still in Samadhi so that it will manifest in the body and radiate into the surroundings like light.’

The power of muting!

It had been a long time since Lu Zhou had used this Heavenly Writing power. How different would it be now that he was using it with the divine Dao power?

The bushy-browed man and his two companions glared at Lu Zhou. They felt as though space and time had been frozen. Their minds were active, but their bodies were immobilized. Moreover, when they tried to mobilize their Primal Qi to release their energies, they discovered that the Primal Qi was flowing in reverse.

‘T-this… Is this time reversal?’

The trio’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

Meanwhile, Nan Ping’s expression was extremely grave. He had felt the explosive power of the blue lotus and the law of time shrouding Golden Court Mountain.

The great laws were the difference between divine emperors.

All cultivators probably yearned to gain the ability to control time. The general consensus in the cultivation world was that it was impossible for humans to reverse time. At most, a cultivator could stop or slow time. Reversing time was not within the realm of possibilities.

With that, how could they not be shocked?

In fact, Lu Zhou had slightly mastered time reversal a long time ago. Naturally, the force of the time reversal depended on his strength as well. Now that he was a supreme being, he had already grasped this great law and ability. With just the great law alone, it was enough for him to be on par with a divine emperor.

Boom!

The blue lotus released a wave of energy in all directions.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The trio and their lotuses were sent flying back in three different directions. The tyrannical power destroyed their Eight Extraordinary Meridians immediately and wreaked havoc in their Dantians’ seas of Qi. Without any suspense, the trio spat out blood.

Swoosh!

Time and space froze again.

This time, it was not just the trio. The other seven Templars, including Nan Ping, were also frozen.

Lu Zhou raised his hand to the sky. Faint blue electric arcs flashed on his hand immediately.

“The divine Dao is nature. If you borrow the power from heaven and earth to become divine emperors, you’ll only suffer the backlash. It’s time to return the power that doesn’t belong to you!”

Rumble!

Thunder clapped as lightning flashed in the sky.

Boom!

Streaks of light shot out and attached themselves to the Templars.

“No!”

“Don’t take away my power!”

“I’m a divine emperor! I’m a divine emperor!”

Jiang Aijian shook his head as he watched this scene.

Lu Zhou ignored them and continued to manipulate his divine Dao power. His reserve for his divine Dao power was much bigger than that time when he had extraordinary power. Currently, with his reserve, he could use this move at least another ten times. However, one time was enough to deal with them.

“Return!”

The divine Dao power in his hand was like spiderwebs that were stuck to the Templars’ bodies. The power they obtained from heaven and earth was continuously drawn out, quickly returning to the world.

Nan Ping’s eyes widened in fear as he shouted, “Lord Unholy One, no! Please! I have no intention of making an enemy out of you! Please show mercy! Please show mercy!”

Nan Ping could feel the power in his body being rapidly drawn out through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Dantian’s sea of Qi.

“I’ve made it very clear that this power doesn’t belong to you,” Lu Zhou said in a dark tone, “You should be thanking me. How can there be such a good thing in the world where you can have the power of a divine emperor without paying a price? If your comprehension of the Dao and laws isn’t enough and you can’t control the power, you’ll definitely suffer from the backlash.”

“Impossible! The Great Emperor said we’re invincible! We have the power of a divine emperor! We’re divine emperors!”

“Fool!” Lu Zhou said to Nan Ping, “Do you think he’ll feel at ease if all of you are truly invincible?”

“...”

Nan Ping had no comeback.

Jiang Aijian chimed in, “You’re really stupid! Divine emperors rely on their comprehension of the laws and their states of mind. Even if you were bestowed such great power, you wouldn’t be able to control it. I happened to read up on this specific use of the Scales of Justice previously. It’s indeed a miraculous sacred relic. What it bestowed you was strength, not the comprehension or the state of mind of a divine emperor. Let me put it to you simply. A child with a hundred knives would be easily killed by an adult with one knife. Do you understand? Although this analogy isn’t completely accurate, the gist of it is there.”

Nan Ping’s face was ashen.

Jiang Aijian continued to say, “The scales have another… shall I say, hidden ability? No one has figured it out, but it allows Ming Xin to control others with its power. Look at all of you. He gave you power and manipulated all of you into sending yourselves to your deaths by coming here to test his opponent’s strength!”

The severely-injured bushy-browed man in the distance shook his head and shouted, “I don’t believe it! I can clearly feel the power that lords over all living things in my body! I can also sense the nine light disks! This isn’t fake!”

There were also another three Templars who did not believe this. No matter what was said, the feeling in their bodies could not be fake.

Crackling noises rang in the air as the electric arcs’ draining speed increased. It was as though they were sucking blood.

Lu Zhou could sense the divine Dao power restraining the ten fake divine emperors, and the consumption of his divine Dao power was rather terrifying. Nonetheless, he was confident about taking all of them down.

Electric arcs seemed to multiply and increase in size, covering the sky. It did not take long before the sky of Great Yan was flashing with electric arcs.

At this time, the ten Templars were like insects caught in a spiderweb.

All living things looked up at the sky.

Jie Jin’an who was watching the breathtaking scene was reminded of the valiant Unholy from back then. He sighed emotionally and said, “After 100,000 years, the Unholy One has returned to his peak. Who in the Great Void is his match?”
