Chapter 333: Chapter 289: That’s it? A True God?_1
Li Chengzheng, having contemplated the fruits of his three years of enlightenment, suddenly opened his eyes and, without any hesitation, activated the Three Thousand Deadly Array.
At this moment, a burly man in the early stages of the True God Realm was bombarding the Hidden Spirit Array!
This Hidden Spirit Array was set up on the Array Plate, its power naturally incomparable to the one once deployed in Hidden Spirit Village. With the cultivation of the early True God Realm, it wouldn’t take long before he could blast it open with full force.
Therefore, Li Cheng decisively activated the Three Thousand Deadly Array. As soon as the Hidden Spirit Array was breached, that man would fall into the midst of the Three Thousand Deadly Array.
Ao Jiugai looked at the Hidden Spirit Array that was trembling from the bombardment and announced loudly, “Friend outside, this place is already taken, please leave quickly!”
The burly man sneered, “With an array covering the place, of course, I know someone is inside. Hand over the treasures nicely, or once I break the formation, I’ll make sure you wish you were dead!”
Ao Jiugai wanted to speak again, but Li Cheng waved his hand to stop him and said indifferently, “There’s always someone courting death; no need for more words.”
As he finished speaking and saw the man raise his saber to strike at the formation, Li Cheng simply opened the formation and let him charge in!
The next moment, as the formation closed, the Three Thousand Deadly Array suddenly erupted with an extremely powerful burst of sword light!
“Huh?”
The burly man who had just charged in drastically changed in color, hurriedly raised his saber to block, but was cleaved by the sword light, sending him flying backward and crashing heavily against the Array Light Membrane, his chest a bloody mess with many bones already exposed.
Li Cheng waved his hand casually, and a sword light once again converged within the array, slashing towards the burly man.
“Stop! Wait… I was just passing by; why attack me?” the burly man shouted hastily.
Contempt flashed in Li Cheng’s eyes, “This? A True God?”
Without any intention of stopping, the sword light slashed across, disregarding the man’s attempt to block, instantly tearing through his Protective Divine Power and cutting his body in two.
In a critical moment, the man’s Divine Child escaped, grabbing the War Saber and slashing towards the Array Light Membrane in an attempt to break the formation and escape.
But with only the Divine Child left, his strength was greatly reduced. How could he possibly break through?
Sword light filled the air, condensing into a sphere that suppressed the Divine Child.
A Three Thousand Deadly Array constructed from three thousand mid-grade Divine Artifacts was extremely close to a fourth-level formation. An early-stage True God Realm cultivator had no chance of resisting!
The burly man was utterly panicked and hurriedly said, “Don’t… don’t kill me. I am willing to do anything you ask!”
Ao Jiugai floated towards the Divine Child, “Turns out you’re spineless, heh, I did warn you earlier, yet you insisted on courting death!”
The Divine Child didn’t hesitate to kneel, rapidly kowtowing and pleading for mercy, “Please, as long as you don’t kill me, I’ll be willing to become your slave or servant!”
Li Cheng shook his head, “I’ve never seen anyone as foolish as you. And you call yourself a True God… I truly wonder how you lived long enough to reach the True God Realm.”
Without hesitation, the sword light sphere contracted, instantly mincing him.
This burly man must have known that the Hidden Spirit Array was a second-level Divine Array, not knowing the situation inside the formation, yet he attacked recklessly. What was this if not folly?
Ao Jiugai floated to the side of the burly man’s corpse and searched it, then came floating back with a Storage Ring, “He was poor, just over four thousand Divine Stones and a bunch of useless things.”
Li Cheng glanced casually, indeed, very poor. The most valuable item was the War Saber, a mid-grade Divine Artifact containing over eighty thousand Divine Patterns, and it could probably sell for over eighty thousand Divine Stones.
But for Li Cheng, who was worth several hundred million, it was hardly noteworthy.
“This place isn’t safe; let’s go back,” said Li Cheng.
The cave behind the waterfall was supposed to be extremely secluded and enveloped by a spatial formation. He had also set up the Hidden Spirit Array, but upon close inspection, it still risked being discovered.
Now that treasures from the Divine Palace had emerged in the thousands, most had left immediately to rush back to Savage City, and some had hidden away, preparing to refine the Divine Artifacts before leaving when things settled down.
This had led to many greedy people snooping around, trying to seize Divine Artifacts and items.
Li Cheng had planned to wait until the situation calmed down to leave, but the appearance of this burly man changed his mind.
Anyone capable of discovering this hidden place was bound to be part of the higher cultivation echelons, hence it wasn’t safe at all.
“Huh?”
Just as he was about to collect the formation and leave, Li Cheng suddenly noticed that there were faint soul fluctuations coming from the two halves of the corpse!
“This guy has a Remnant Soul hidden within his corpse!”
Without any hesitation, Li Cheng activated his Domain to envelop the corpse; Divine Fire surged, starting the refining process.
“Ah! Bastard, don’t be so cruel. I’m already down to a Remnant Soul, and you still won’t let me go?” a voice cursed from inside the corpse.
“I am a Deacon of the Enlightenment God Sect. If you refuse to show mercy, my sect will make you regret it!” the Remnant Soul continued to curse.
As the corpse shrunk rapidly under the Divine Fire, the Remnant Soul dared not show itself, for without the protection of the body, it would only die faster.
Li Cheng paid it no attention and continued refining.
Since the man was from a sect, there was a great chance it would invite revenge; thus, it was even more imperative to eradicate the roots.
Seeing that Li Cheng had no intention of sparing him, and with the body already refined into a mere strand of Divine Blood Essence, the Remnant Soul could no longer hide and, biting the bullet, flew out to cast a secret technique to flee.
But the next moment, the Remnant Soul fell into despair, “A Domain?”
Trapped within someone else’s Domain, it was merely a Remnant Soul; how could it possibly escape?
The Domain was, after all, a nascent form of the God Realm!
The Divine Fire engulfed the Remnant Soul, continuously refining it. The soul weakened further and further and would dissipate in less than the time it takes to finish a cup of tea.
Just then, more people outside began attacking the formation, and there was more than one!
“Quick, Deacon Sun’s presence vanished here, his soul Jade Slip shattered. He must’ve run into trouble here!”
