Chapter 1198

"Zhou Daqian, act quickly! These evil spirits are trying to decipher the Heavenly Pillar!"

Ao Donglai channeled his pent-up energy into this hoarse roar.

The screams were extremely shrill and echoed in all directions.

Corpses littered the ground. Of Lord Shen's disciples, only Ao Donglai remains, along with Lai Hantian, whose fate is unknown.

But the Heavenly Pillar still stands, towering over the southern frontier, suppressing evil spirits from all directions, so it must never fall.

Zhou You nodded to him, indicating that he understood, and then casually flicked his finger, causing his body to vibrate powerfully from a distance.

The resonance triggered by this finger caused miraculous changes in Lai Hantian. His wounds healed rapidly, and the power of the demonic entity that had invaded him was expelled as turbid air.

The person, who was on the verge of death, was instantly brought back to health.

Lai Hantian suddenly opened his eyes, saw the surrounding environment, exhaled, and grabbed Ao Donglai behind him.

As a member of the Heavenly Sect, once he regains consciousness, his internal energy and essence will circulate back, and a full recovery will be only a matter of time.

Realizing that it was Zhou Daqian who had saved him, Lai Hantian nodded slightly to him to express his gratitude.

Nobody paid any attention to this little incident.

It was a simple matter for Zhou You, and his elder brothers paid no attention to a defeated opponent.

Because compared to others, Zhou You, who could kill the giant human-snake in one move, was the biggest threat.

The Disaster Uncle sensed the apprehension and fear of his companions and realized that the Enchantress was right; Zhou Daqian was their greatest enemy.

Even if the Divine Sword of the Southern Heaven came in person, it wouldn't bring such a great deterrent and suppression.

"I heard you intend to decipher the Heavenly Pillar and release the Heavenly Maiden?"

Zhou You's voice didn't betray anger; it only conveyed a condescending scrutiny.

The disaster relief official readily replied, "We will carry out any orders that come our way, even at the cost of our lives."

This sentence conveys two pieces of information: it infers that the Heavenly Pillar is the Queen of Enchantresses' order, and all Enchantresses must carry it out; even if Zhou You kills them all, all Enchantresses in the world will continue to flock here.

Unless Zhou You can deal with the Empress who gave the order.

"Well, later on, I happen to know one too, but he's the one from the sacrificial palace."

Zhou You asked him with a smile, "I wonder if it's the same one you mentioned?"

The calamity lord did not answer, and seeing this, Zhou You knew he couldn't get any information out of him.

The Queen's hidden identity has always been a mystery. Even though Zhou Youxuan's skills can see through most of the truth, he still cannot capture her.

He currently suspects that Lian Feihong's empress is one of the foreshadowings of the Enchantress, which is why he made those probing remarks.

Unexpectedly, whether out of caution or genuine ignorance of the situation, Uncle Zai did not respond to his words.

"Alright, the Heavenly Pillar is here. If you want to make a deduction, go ahead and do it!"

Zhou You's words not only stunned his elder brothers, including Zai Bo, but also Ao Donglai and his companion found it hard to believe.

If Zhou You hadn't just saved Hantian, the two of them would have thought he was a demon disguised in human skin.

"you……"

Ao Donglai was furious and pointed at Zhou You, shouting, "Zhou Daqian, don't forget the knife you're holding!"

"If it weren't for my master and Elder Yin Dao sacrificing their lives to suppress the Heavenly Maiden, the Central Plains would have already fallen by now."

"In ancient times, the Heavenly Maiden was a vicious goddess and demon on par with the Enchantress. Do you really intend to bring about such devastation?"

Hearing this, Zhou You shook his head. "That makes sense, but back then, besides Yin Dao and Lord Shen, who else stood in the way of the Heavenly Maiden?" "If it were today, only I would come!"

"Ao Donglai, out of consideration for our past friendship, I'd like to give you a piece of advice: don't think you're the only one who can shoulder the burdens of the world!"

Seeing the corpses of his fellow disciples scattered all around him, and hearing such cold words, Ao Donglai was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into Lai Hantian's palm.

Lai Hantian whispered to him, "Trust him!"

These three words made Ao Donglai quickly recall the past and the moments he had spent with Zhou You.

He gasped for breath, “I cannot live to see the birth of the Heavenly Maiden. Senior brother, if that day ever comes, bury me beneath the Heavenly Pillar, and let this unworthy disciple guard the gate for our master.”

Lai Hantian smiled slightly, "Coincidentally, that's what I was thinking too."

A look of suspicion crossed Uncle Zai's face. He pressed him again and again, "Zhou Daqian, what trick are you playing?"

"You calamities, you usually devour people and slaughter cities swiftly and cleanly, why are you being so hesitant and indecisive today!"

Zhou You said with a stern face, "Opportunity waits for no one. If you don't make your move now, I'll kill you all one by one and see if you can still carry out the Queen's orders!"

The elder brothers looked at each other, communicating with unique vibrations to prevent Zhou You from reaching them.

Zhou You stood there smiling, seemingly unconcerned about what they were talking about in private.

After a moment, the Calamity Lord made a decision: the other Calamity Demons formed an arc-shaped wall to guard against Zhou You.

When necessary, these elder brothers, with the intention of sacrificing themselves, held Zhou You up to buy him time.

As for Zaibo and the others, they were carrying out the orders of the Enchantress to deduce the Heavenly Pillar.

This towering pillar has formed a balanced internal and external structure over the years, making it unbreakable by ordinary external forces. However, it is hard to say what would happen if it were attacked by an attack of the level of the Calamity God.

Zai Bo, as the top 'eldest brother' among the 108 adopted sons, and the leader of the eldest brothers, is comparable to a half-saint.

Even if Lord Shen were reborn, he might not be a match for him, let alone the Heavenly Pillar which is suppressing the Heavenly Maiden with all its might.

Seeing this, Ao Donglai's heart jumped into his throat. He desperately hoped that Zhou You was using a trick to launch a sneak attack while the Calamity Lord was making his move, but the reality was not optimistic. With so many Calamity Demons guarding against him, it was simply impossible for him to succeed.

As the Calamity God flew high into the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist, he stopped on a protruding rock on the outer edge of the Heavenly Pillar.

"Zhou Daqian, do you really think that deducing the Heavenly Pillar requires some grand ceremony?"

Suddenly, the Calamity God revealed a ferocious face, looking smug. His fingers grew to a hundred meters long, piercing through the surface of the Heavenly Pillar.

This action was extraordinary; despite the fact that the diameter of the pillar exceeded one million meters, his move couldn't even break through the outer layer of skin.

However, the once unapproachable Heavenly Pillar was damaged for the first time by a demonic creature.

"No matter what your intentions are, from this moment on, the pillar of the Southern Frontier is about to fall."

As soon as the Calamity Lord exerted his strength, crackling sounds rang out, and the cracks extended outwards from the part where his fingertips pierced through, like galloping horses moving at top speed, and in the blink of an eye, they split into a circle of black lines that pierced through the pillar of heaven.

That section of the pillar was constantly shedding rubble with a crackling sound, and faint light shone through the cracks.

An aura that terrified all the creatures present emanated from the room; it was... the Celestial Maiden.

A crack appeared in the cage, and the Celestial Maiden's power was unleashed without restraint. Even the rampant demons sensed that something was amiss.

"Zhou Daqian, are you still going to stand by and do nothing?"

"If this continues, you will become a sinner for all time!"

Ao Donglai was so excited that he kept shouting. He couldn't just watch his master's sacrifice go to waste.

Once the celestial maiden is born, the entire southern border will be reduced to scorched earth, and no living being will be spared.
