Chapter 334: Chapter 289: That’s it? A True God?_2

The Hidden Spirit Array had already been depleted of much of its power by the big man, and it could hardly withstand the attacks of those people.

Li Cheng frowned, they arrived too quickly!

He couldn’t afford to continue refining the Remnant Soul, so Li Cheng suppressed it in the tripod, just as the Hidden Spirit Array also broke!

Seven people rushed in, with the leader being an Elder at the mid-stage of the True God Realm, and the other six were at the pinnacle or complete stage of the Heaven God State.

Sensing the battle fluctuations in the cave, their expressions all turned slightly grim—Deacon Sun was dead!

The gazes of the seven people moved together towards the frowning Li Cheng, and the leading Elder’s eyes revealed a killing intent, “Was it you who killed our Enlightenment God Sect’s Deacon Sun? Mid-stage Heaven God State, not a small feat!”

Li Cheng was the only one in the scene, and since Deacon Sun’s soul Jade Slip was shattered, who else could have killed him if not Li Cheng?

However, the seven people were all very puzzled—how could someone with the cultivation of the mid-stage Heaven God State kill Deacon Sun?

“Is your Enlightenment God Sect that foolish?” Li Cheng glanced over the group indifferently.

Isn’t it foolish indeed? Since Deacon Sun, who was at the early stage of the True God Realm, is dead, why would these seven still boldly break through the formation and rush in?

Shouldn’t they at least be cautious?

“Seeking death!” One of the enraged powerhouses at the pinnacle of the Heaven God State threw a punch across the air.

An overwhelming momentum burst forth, and powerful Divine Power erupted from his fist. But as the Divine Power neared Li Cheng within a few yards, it suddenly slowed down significantly and then completely dissipated.

The person who made the move’s eyes bulged, his face filled with disbelief, “Sixth Elder, has he concealed his cultivation?”

The leader’s expression changed—had he concealed his cultivation? It didn’t seem like it!

But if he was merely at the mid-stage Heaven God State, how could he silently nullify the strike of a pinnacle Heaven God State powerhouse?

Li Cheng remained calm, but inwardly, he was extremely pleased. He had spent three years using thousands of chances for Enlightenment, comprehending the Time Law from the Blunt Empty Residence to reach 4.7 million!

With 4.7 million Time Laws in effect, he could even erode the attacks of a pinnacle Heaven God State powerhouse!

Li Cheng looked towards the leading Elder—unsure if he could block an attack from a mid-stage True God Realm with the Time Law, given the difference was a major realm.

Yet Li Cheng’s gaze made the Elder tense up!

“Unaware that the senior was cultivating here in solitude, we’ve disturbed you—please forgive us!” The Elder quickly bowed deeply, his voice tinged with unease.

Senior?

The other six people’s faces changed dramatically, and they too quickly bowed. Especially the one who had attacked, who was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.

If even the Sixth Elder referred to him as a senior, then he must be a senior. And to think that he, not knowing what was good for him, had struck at him—doomed!

No wonder the other party didn’t even need to move to erase his attack—could this strength possibly belong to a Divine Monarch?

Seeing the tense expressions of the group of powerhouses, Li Cheng subtly raised his eyebrows—had they misunderstood?

“Li Cheng, tell them to get lost quickly; otherwise, if a battle breaks out and one of them self-detonates their Divine Child, it will be terrible,” Ao Jiugai’s voice transmitted from the Storage Ring.

Although the Three Thousand Deadly Array was strong, it couldn’t guarantee to slay all seven people at once, and if one were to self-detonate their Divine Child as Ao Jiugai suggested, how could Li Cheng stop it?

Li Cheng knew, however, that these powerhouses were all extremely averse to dying. If they self-detonated, even their Remnant Soul would be gone, so even if they knew they were no match, they probably wouldn’t attempt it.

And these people, mistaking him for some so-called senior and shaking in their boots, certainly lacked the resolve and will to self-detonate their Divine Child.

They were all a bunch of cowards.

With that thought, Li Cheng waved his hand, and the Three Thousand Deadly Array immediately unleashed majestic Divine Power!

“No!”

The leading Elder, already uneasy in his heart, sensed the terrifying power and his face turned pale with shock. He pulled out a shield and activated it, which transformed into a thirty-foot-wide light dome that enveloped them.

To his surprise, instead of harming them, the Divine Power wrapped around the light dome and threw them hundreds of miles away but did not take their lives.

Stabilizing themselves after being flung hundreds of miles away, the seven looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

Not daring to linger for a moment longer, the seven fled from the area as if their lives depended on it.

In the cave, Li Cheng retracted the formation, shaking his head in secret. Were all members of the Enlightenment God Sect this foolish, this weak? They were at the pinnacle or complete stage of the Heaven God State, even True Gods, but foolishness aside, they lacked even a hint of dignity.

If it were in the Lower World, even an ordinary Immortal would have an unyielding spirit and proud backbone—not like these spineless weaklings.

Li Cheng faintly felt that this was likely because the native cultivators of the Divine Realm had grown accustomed to being oppressed, as they were ultimately under the control of the Divine Dynasty.

And in the Lower World, cultivators were always above the imperial court.

Leaving the waterfall, Li Cheng set his direction and flew towards Savage City, his heart already somewhat impatient to check out Blunt Empty Residence.

Not far into his flight, Li Cheng stopped and turned to look deep into Savage Ridge.

At that moment, the Demon Suppression Order in his Storage Ring trembled slightly, signaling a Demon-suppressing Envoy in the deeps of Savage Ridge was calling for help!

He took out the Demon Suppression Order, and indeed a signal emerged on the token, pointing straight towards the depths of Savage Ridge to the north.

This was one of the features of the Demon Suppression Order: in case of an unsolvable crisis, one could use the token to send out a distress signal, and Demon-suppressing Envoys within a certain range would be alerted through their own orders, as was the case at present.

Through the Demon Suppression Order, Li Cheng could tell that the person seeking help was a two-star Demon-suppressing Envoy, but without having exchanged spiritual energies stored within the token, he didn’t know who the other party was.

Changing direction, Li Cheng headed towards the two-star Demon-suppressing Envoy.

Ao Jiugai was eagerly waiting for Li Cheng to return to Kongqian City and seeing Li Cheng actually flying towards the depths of Savage Ridge, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “What are you doing? That’s the depths of Savage Ridge, filled with Evil Demons!”

“Quiet!”

Li Cheng hung the Demon Suppression Order at his waist and, using the responsiveness between the orders, sped up abruptly.

Half an hour later, within the range of Li Cheng’s Divine Sense, a familiar figure appeared!

The Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s clone!

“That guy actually came here?”

After the Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s clone had been severely wounded by Kong Lianqing, he had not shown himself and had been hiding somewhere, fusing with the Divine King Bone. His current appearance in Savage Ridge was somewhat surprising.

Within his Divine Sense, the Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s clone was attacking a Formation. As Li Cheng’s Divine Sense swept over, the clone slowly turned his head and looked towards where Li Cheng was.

The Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s main body was at the level of a Divine Monarch, and his Divine Soul was incredibly powerful. Li Cheng’s probing Divine Sense was naturally detected by him.

“Hehe… It’s all coming together, how perfect!”

He sneered coldly, not continuing with his attack on the Formation but instead turned to face the direction Li Cheng was in, waiting.

“It seems his Divine Soul has yet to fully integrate with the Divine King Bone, limiting the power he can unleash,” Li Cheng observed and increased his pace.

Soon, Li Cheng stopped several miles away from the Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s clone, his gaze shifting to the nearby Formation, revealing a look of surprise in his eyes.

The Formation before him was also a Three Thousand Deadly Array!

Moreover, this Formation was refined into an Array Plate, and the aura it emitted was not much weaker than his own.

Logically speaking, refining a Formation into an Array Plate should decrease its power by a certain percentage, making it easy to activate with one gesture.

This was enough to show that the present Three Thousand Deadly Array was most likely set up with three thousand mid-grade Divine Artifacts and had been refined into the Array Plate.

Instantly, Li Cheng thought of Sixth Prince; he had previously needed three thousand mid-grade Divine Artifact longswords, so the person inside the Formation must be connected to him.

“Didn’t expect to see you so soon. Have you forgotten how you and that girl treat this old man last time?” said the Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s clone with a cold sneer.

“Li Cheng? Why have you come?” Kong Lianqing’s voice arose from within the Three Thousand Deadly Array.

Li Cheng looked towards the Formation and saw an opening within the Formation, revealing Kong Lianqing’s slender figure.

The Three Thousand Deadly Array focused on killing and destruction, and with Kong Lianqing cloaking herself within the Formation from the inside, it would naturally be difficult for others to break through from the outside.

Li Cheng gave Kong Lianqing a slight nod and shifted his gaze back to the Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s clone, asking in return, “Destroying Hidden Spirit Village, have you forgotten?”

The Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s clone let out a scoff, “And what can you do about it?”

Li Cheng formed hand seals, “You have lived far too many extra years, it’s time for your judgment!”

Roar!

The roar of a tiger resounded through the heavens, causing air waves to roil for hundreds of miles around!

Above Li Cheng’s head, the White Tiger Seal roared forth, and a gigantic tiger figure, a thousand feet in size, bolted out and reached the Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s clone in a single stride!

A vast and boundless killing intent enveloped the area, as if the space itself was being solidified.

Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s clone was not afraid in the slightest, extending his bony hand and casually swatting towards the huge phantom of the White Tiger.

This was a Divine King Bone after all, and the Divine Skills of a mere Heaven God State junior could easily be broken!
