King of Gods
chapter-1512-30041322

As Tianwu’s projection was appearing in the Light Race Divine Kingdom, near the edge of the Chixing Zone:

Bzzz! Hummm!

A spatial vortex appeared in the air, a figure slowly emerging from it. This was a black-robed elder, his black hair floating around him like a pitch-black waterfall despite the lack of wind. His dark and deep eyes gleamed with cold and sinister light. The moment he appeared, the surrounding space almost froze and became extremely heavy.

This person was none other than the God King of the Chixing Zone’s Illusion God Sacred Land, God King Nethercloud.

“Ninth God Eye, I didn’t think that you would be in the Chixing Zone!” God King Nethercloud muttered.

The news he received previously was that Zhao Feng had appeared in the Tongtai Zone and had obtained a legacy of the Heaven Mending Race, but in just two or three months, Zhao Feng had somehow traveled through several zones and arrived at the Chixing Zone. If he hadn’t received this news from God Lord Dreamcolor, he would have never believed it.

For some reason though, even after learning of the exact location of the Ninth God Eye, God King Nethercloud felt inexplicably uneasy.

“Once I get the Ninth God Eye, I can become a God!” But the thought of the Ninth God Eye had God King Nethercloud unable to suppress his excitement, and he couldn’t help but get excited.

Just as God King Nethercloud was preparing to move out, he received a message from one of the upper echelon elders of the Illusion God Sacred Land.

“What? The Nightmare Beast King is about to break its seal!?” God King Nethercloud’s body trembled in shock.

The Nightmare Beast King was a dreadful ancient beast of nearly God King level that was sealed within the Illusion God Sacred Land. Its level was so high that even God King Nethercloud found it difficult to tame unless he invited over a God King level beast tamer. This demand was too restrictive, so the Illusion God Sacred Land had decided to seal the beast within a forbidden ground.

The Nightmare Beast King exuded an invisible energy that allowed it to benefit from the Illusion Dao and Dream Dao cultivated by the disciples of the Illusion God Sacred Land. Thus, as the Illusion God Sacred Land prospered, the Nightmare Beast King received a certain level of benefit too.

“The seal of the Nightmare Beast King is reinforced around once every million years. There should have still been five thousand years left, right? Why is it breaking through the seal so early?” God King Nethercloud was rather vexed.

The Nightmare Beast King was incredibly powerful. Unless a God King was present, several Third Heaven God Lords would be needed to suppress it. And once the Nightmare Beast King broke its seal, it would definitely try to avenge itself against the Sacred Land. The Illusion God Sacred Land would suffer an enormous blow, and the entire Chixing Zone would be facing a calamity.

One could say that, if the Nightmare Beast King was not promptly sealed as soon as it broke its seal, the entire Chixing Zone would be destroyed.

For a moment, God King Nethercloud was caught in a dilemma. If he went to catch the Ninth God Eye, the Sacred Land and the Chixing Zone would suffer from an unthinkable disaster.

He felt that this was all too much to be a coincidence. He had only just returned to the Chixing Zone and was about to catch the Ninth God Eye when the Nightmare Beast King decided to try and break its seal?

“The Illusion God Sacred Land is the foundation left by the forefathers of the Illusion God Race a hundred million years ago. It cannot be allowed to be destroyed. But as for the Ninth God Eye, this god has a plan!” In the end, God King Nethercloud decided to try for both.

Swish!

Dark clouds surged, and a black-robed middle-aged man emerged. This middle-aged man was his clone. It was rather similar in appearance to God King Nethercloud, appearing like he was in his younger days.

“Let’s split up!” God King Nethercloud called out, and then he vanished.

Swish!

The black-robed middle-aged man headed in another direction.

God King Nethercloud’s clone had forty percent of his strength. Even if it couldn’t capture the Ninth God Eye, it could hold him down long enough for God King Nethercloud to finish dealing with the Nightmare Beast King.

Meanwhile, in the Light Race Divine Kingdom, an enormous projection floated in the sky, one which everyone in the Divine Kingdom viewed with great solemnity.

“Zhao Feng, we finally meet again.” Yu Tianwu looked at Zhao Feng and warmly smiled.

Zhao Feng was struck dumb. It wasn’t strange for someone of the Heaven’s Legacy Race to know his name, but from this person’s tone, they seemed to have met before. Zhao Feng had no idea who this man was.

Clingclang!

The little thieving cat threw out several bronze coins, and its eyes twinkled.

In the distance, Yu Liuping was reeling in shock. He had never imagined that Yu Tianwu would send a projection to this place.

It seems like the Sage Faction is still trying to thwart the Heaven Lord’s plan! Yu Liuping said to himself. Thwish!

Controlling the silver plate, Yu Liuping fled.

“Want to leave?” Zhao Feng’s face turned stern as he prepared to strike.

But at the same time, he was rather confused. Wasn’t this projection from a member of the Heaven’s Legacy Race? Why was Yu Liuping fleeing in complete fear?

“Zhao Feng, God King Nethercloud has already returned to the Chixing Zone. You should leave this place as quickly as possible.” Yu Tianwn was slow to act. He only casually glanced at Yu Liuping before… proceeding to ignore him?

God King Nethercloud! This name caused everyone present to tremble in fear.

God King Nethercloud was the God King of the Illusion God Sacred Land. Not even Twilight Valley was confident that he could take even a few blows from God King Nethercloud.

“Just who are you?” Zhao Feng immediately asked. Why had this Heaven’s Legacy Race member informed him of this?

Zhao Feng was no longer in the mood to chase down Yu Liuping. If God King Nethercloud really had come back, he would probably get here by the time Zhao Feng managed to kill Yu Liuping.

“One of my clones once lived for a time in the Six Warlock Divine Tower of the Azure Flower Continent,” Yu Tianwu simply explained.

“Six Warlock…?” Zhao Feng’s mind jolted in understanding.

He had long ago suspected that the Six Warlock Divine Sage was not who he claimed to be, but he hadn’t expected for him to merely be a clone.

At present, the original body of the Six Warlock Divine Sage had presented himself before Zhao Feng as a projection. The Six Warlock Divine Sage had definitely long ago suspected that Zhao Feng was the Ninth God Eye, but he had not tried to seize it, so Zhao Feng conjectured that, while the Six Warlock Divine Sage might have been a member of the Heaven’s Legacy Race, he was not an enemy.

On the side, Xin Wuheng was also stunned.

“You’re a member of the Sage Faction?” Twilight Valley asked.

Back when the Heaven Defying Faction was attacking the Light Race, the Sage Faction had assisted the Light Race. Twilight Valley even had some impression of Yu Tianwu’s appearance.

“The Sage Faction!” Zhao Feng suddenly understood.

Many experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods knew about the Heaven’s Legacy Race. This extremely intelligent race was not internally harmonious; it was divided into two factions. The Heaven Defying Faction defied the heavens in its actions, while the Sage Faction complied with the will of the heavens and assisted all living beings.

Given the situation, the Heaven’s Legacy Race members led by the Heaven Lord probably belonged to the Heaven Defying Faction, and Yu Tianwu belonged to the Sage Faction. This explained why the Six Warlock Divine Sage did not seize Zhao Feng’s Ninth God Eye.

“Correct. If you have nowhere to go, you can come to my place.” After saying this, Yu Tianwu’s projection suddenly dimmed.

This made it obvious that Yu Tianwu’s actual body was extremely far from the Chixing Zone.

The members of the Light Race and Giant God Race fell silent. The Chixing Zone was no longer a place they could stay, and Xin Wuheng had not yet thought of a new place to move.

The Sage Faction truly was a safe place. Even if the Sacred Land tracked them down, it would not dare to act recklessly in the territory of the Sage Faction. He was hesitant though because he did not understand much about the Sage Faction and was rather worried. The Light Race had similar concerns.

“What are the Sage and Heaven Defying Factions up to?” Zhao Feng suddenly asked.

After staying in the Heaven Defying Faction’s Divine Kingdom and spending time with the Heaven Lord, Zhao Feng was certain that the Heaven Defying Faction was up to something. Anything that the Heaven’s Legacy Race’s Heaven Defying Faction was so desperately after could not at all be normal. Zhao Feng even sensed that it was connected to him, or else the Heaven Defying Faction would not have paid such an enormous price to try and obtain the Ninth God Eye.

Other than the Heaven Defying Faction, the one with the highest chance of knowing this answer was the Sage Faction.

“The Sage Faction and Heaven Defying Faction have not communicated with each other in many ages. I am not clear on what the answer is, and besides, there is not enough time to talk about it….” Yu Tianwu paused for a few moments before shaking his head.

The projection dimmed even more, and it seemed like it could disappear at any moment.

“Senior, please tell us your specific location!” After thinking for a while, Xin Wuheng finally made his decision.

Twilight Valley was still hesitating. If Yu Tianwu was not deceiving them and God King Nethercloud really was making his way here, they needed to leave here quickly or face unimaginable consequences.

“This is the exact location and route to the Sage Faction. Everything is up to you.” Yu Tianwu’s projection further dimmed.

He transmitted the information into the minds of Zhao Feng, Xin Wuheng, and Twilight Valley. After doing this, Yu Tianwu’s projection totally vanished.

“Zhao Feng, what will you choose?” Twilight Valley asked.

“I’m going to take a trip to the Sage Faction,” Zhao Feng affirmed.

Yu Tianwu had long ago known he was the Ninth God Eye, but he never did anything. Moreover, Zhao Feng had reached his current level in no small part due to the assistance of the Six Warlock Divine Sage. This was also proof of the guiding principle of the Sage Faction: complying with the will of the heavens and assisting all living beings.

As Yu Tianwu’s projection vanished, a white-clothed figure and many questions appeared in Zhao Feng’s mind. His first time in the Chixing Zone, Zhao Feng saw someone extremely similar in appearance to Liu Qinxin. Was that an illusion? Why had the Sky Sacred Qin Palace’s Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace disappeared, and where had the person inside gone? Perhaps the Six Warlock Divine Sage knew about Liu Qinxin or her situation.

In addition, if the Sage Faction really harbored no ill intentions, it truly could serve as a safe harbor.

Twilight Valley was rather amazed by Zhao Feng’s answer. Zhao Feng was the Ninth God Eye, and yet he dared to go to the Sage Faction. What did he have to fear then? If the Sage Faction and Heaven Defying Faction were not on the same side, perhaps he could even use the Sage Faction to take revenge on the Heaven Defying Faction.

At the same moment, in a zone in the southern region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, two figures stood in a white cloud. One of them was Yu Tianwu. Next to him was a beautiful and noble woman, mysterious and ethereal, a lotus in a pond, slender and elegant.

“Let’s go. We’ve done what we came to do. It’s their choice now.” Yu Tianwu opened his eyes, fatigue on his face. “Okay,” Liu Qinxin simply and calmly replied.

The big lazy cat on her shoulder yawned. It appeared to not understand why the sage and Liu Qinxin had come here. “Do you think he will come?” Yu Tianwu genially smiled.

“Does Grandmaster not already know the answer?” A faint smile appeared on Liu Qinxin’s elegant and breathtakingly beautiful face.
