Chapter 404: Chapter 323: Slaying the Ghost Emperor_2

Li Cheng had also arrived in the Divine World, but upon realizing that the Time Law and Space Law were not restricted, he breathed a sigh of relief—these two Laws were his greatest reliance.

After flying in one direction for a million miles, Li Cheng’s field of vision beheld a pavilion.

The pavilion was situated on a mountain summit. Monk Wumo and Kong Lianqing were sitting facing each other, with a dazed expression playing Go.

Li Cheng’s Divine Sense swept over the area and detected no one else, yet he discovered that both Monk Wumo and Kong Lianqing had suffered severe damage to their Divine Souls!

Li Cheng’s heart sank to the bottom, their Divine Souls had been extracted by ninety percent and it seemed even their consciousness had been taken, leaving them almost like walking corpses!

Without recovering that ninety percent of their Divine Souls and consciousness, the two of them could not be restored.

It was precisely because ninety percent of their Divine Souls had been taken that the other party was able to use their Demon Suppression Order to send a message to him.

Upon arriving outside the pavilion, Li Cheng said, “I’m here, show yourself!”

“Oh? It seems you already knew about their situation, yet you still dared to come?” A playful voice rang out, yet the speaker remained unseen.

Li Cheng looked around him and said, “Haven’t you also figured out my temperament, using them as leverage against me? What now, you’re not daring to show yourself?”

“Haha, you should know that at this moment you are in the Divine World, I can take this Divine World away at any time, bringing you all back with me,” the voice laughed.

Li Cheng scoffed, “This is a Divine World left by a Divine Emperor, only a Divine Venerable could barely manage to refine and move it after doing so. You’re at most a Divine Emperor yourself, what big words are you saying? You’re waiting for someone!”

The moment Li Cheng entered, he had already sensed the power of this Divine World. Clearly, it was not something a Divine Emperor could refine or move.

Moreover, this person had not shown themselves at all—without a doubt, he was waiting for the one who was refining this Divine World to collect it.

If his conjecture was correct, the one refining this Divine World must be at the level of a Divine Venerable!

The Divine Venerables of both parties were mutually restraining each other near the Land Puppet Mansion Fu City, unable to arrive in a short time. Thus, this person was waiting!

“So, you’ve guessed it! Not bad, not bad, but what of it? You’re already meat on the chopping block!” the voice said.

Li Cheng took a deep breath, “If you capture me, it’s just because you want me to serve you. Since I’m now a fish on the chopping board, why not release those two?”

“Hehe, you think too much. Until the dust settles, they cannot leave! Nor will I show myself!” the playful voice sounded again.

Li Cheng frowned; the other party was too cautious!

“You, a mighty Divine Emperor, are still so cautious in my presence. Aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock if word gets out?” Li Cheng continued.

“Feigned bravado? Useless. You are the person the Land Puppet Mansion is willing to go to war to protect. Surely the Mansion Venerable gave you some life-saving treasures, right? Trying to trick me into revealing myself for a fatal blow? Wishful thinking!”

The other party was clearly not foolish and had guessed that the Mansion Venerable would give Li Cheng something to save his life. Thus, they hid, not willing to risk their own safety.

After all, at this point, all they needed to do was wait.

Li Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly. The Divine World was filled with an aura of death, and the other party was perfectly hidden. Presumably, they were from the Death Race, using the death aura here to conceal their presence, which is why Li Cheng had difficulty detecting them.

But it was not without a solution. If he were to fully expand his Law field, he could find the other party.

However, Li Cheng had never tested the limit of his Law field, and completely containing the Divine World within it was obviously unlikely.

If the Law field was not fully expanded, the other party could simply retreat explosively the moment he unleashed his Law field, preventing it from reaching them.

After a moment’s thought, Li Cheng said again, “You’re right, so be careful. If I find you, the Divine Venerable symbol bestowed by the Mansion Venerable will claim your life!”

While speaking, Li Cheng did not hesitate to use an Enlightenment chance!

“Haha, don’t be too arrogant. With your cultivation, even if you hold a Divine Venerable symbol, you might not be able to hit me!”

As soon as these words were uttered, Li Cheng, leveraging his state of Enlightenment, instantly locked onto the person’s location!

“It’s always good to be cautious, isn’t it? May I know your name?” Li Cheng asked, opening his eyes.

“Me? Just a wandering ghost. You may call me Ghost Emperor!” the voice replied.

No sooner had the words fallen than the Ghost Emperor, who had been keeping a watch on Li Cheng’s eyes, was taken aback as Li Cheng’s figure suddenly appeared in front of him!

The Ghost Emperor was stunned, looking at Li Cheng less than ten feet away, and exclaimed in astonishment, “You actually found me?”

Separated by a hundred thousand miles, Li Cheng not only found him, but he arrived instantaneously!

Li Cheng didn’t hurry to make a move because 90% of Monk Wumo’s and Kong Lianqing’s divine souls were in the hands of the Ghost Emperor. To act before retrieving them would only implicate the two of them.

Sizing up the Ghost Emperor before him, he could see that its figure was ethereal, blending well with the surrounding death qi, undetectable even by divine sense.

And that ethereal figure, upon seeing Li Cheng, immediately radiated a powerful aura, as if to intimidate Li Cheng.

“Divine Emperor Realm mid-stage!” Li Cheng’s expression turned slightly grim.

“Haha, scared? Just obediently stay here then. As for later, it will depend on your performance!” the Ghost Emperor said playfully.

“Their divine souls, are they on you?” Li Cheng asked, frowning.

The Ghost Emperor scoffed, “Yes, they are. What, you’re not thinking of taking them away, are you?”

As soon as the words left its mouth, the Ghost Emperor unexpectedly found itself within a spherical world, where terrifying space and time fluctuations swept through, with heart-palpitating divine fire leaping about!

Before it could look further, the flow of time suddenly slowed down and space violently compressed, while at the same time, a big seal came whistling towards it!

At that moment, the Ghost Emperor felt a tingling in the scalp and immediately burst out with all its power, trying to escape the suppression of space-time.

However, just as space-time began to give way, the big seal had already arrived in front of it, leaving no room for escape!

The big seal penetrated the Ghost Emperor’s ghost body, unleashing a devastating force that instantly shattered its form!

But the next instant, the Ghost Emperor condensed its ghost body once again, yet still unable to shake off the space-time suppression.

Li Cheng had anticipated this, and the big seal continued to release destructive force while the Space Law ravaged, relentlessly grinding its ghost body to dust.

In a few breaths, the Ghost Emperor’s ghost body had been crushed tens of times, its cultivation plummeting from the Divine Emperor mid-stage to the Divine King Realm.

“The Ghost Clan is quite special, able to condense a ghost body again in such a short time. But I want to see how you recover after I grind down your essence!”

Li Cheng discovered that each time the ghost body was crushed, a bead was left behind, and the power to recondense the ghost body was emanating from that bead.

That must be its essence, similar to the existence of a Divine Child.

The Ghost Emperor’s cultivation had fallen to the Divine King Realm and was even less able to withstand the suppression of Li Cheng’s Law field. Without waiting for it to recover its ghost body again, the space force reversed its flow, forcibly tearing the bead in two.

The Ghost Emperor couldn’t even let out a scream before it perished!

Li Cheng carefully examined and found within the broken bead a speck of light, within which was a vast small world spanning ten thousand miles. The ethereal figures of Monk Wumo and Kong Lianqing were sitting cross-legged inside!

It was indeed their 90% divine souls!

Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, retrieved the divine souls, and returned to the pavilion to reintroduce them into the two bodies.

The two’s eyes regained their brilliance and simultaneously turned to look at Li Cheng.

Just as they were about to speak, both their gazes simultaneously shifted to something behind Li Cheng.

Li Cheng also turned around to look, only to see two streaks of light speeding towards them, it was Kong Linfeng and Xiao Changting!

“Your Majesty! Sect Leader!” Li Cheng greeted with a fist salute.

Now that he was also a Divine King, although not at the complete level of the two, his combat power was no weaker than theirs, so there was no need for a bow.

As a Demon-suppressing Envoy, he was not required to do so anyway.

Kong Linfeng and Xiao Changting landed in the pavilion, and upon seeing the two halves of the bead floating by Li Cheng’s side, they both showed shocked expressions. Xiao Changting said in astonishment, “A Ghost Clan Divine Emperor mid-stage, killed by you?”

Li Cheng smiled, “Now is not the time to talk about this. The Demon Gods Venerable who refined this Divine World might come back at any moment, we need to think of a way to get out of here!”

Xiao Changting exhaled helplessly, “After we came in, the entrance closed. To get out, we have to break through this Divine World!”

Li Cheng frowned, trapped like a turtle in a jar?

If they didn’t get out in time, and the Demon Gods Venerable powerhouse arrived, then it would be all over!
