Chapter 378: Chapter 310 Confucian Divine Vernarch_2

Li Cheng had become indifferent to spoils of war at some point, perhaps because wealth was so easily within his grasp.

What was the worth of randomly concocting a Divine Pill or Divine Artifact compared to the wealth earned from countless spoils of war?

Though these beings were of the Divine Monarch level, Li Cheng truly wasn’t tempted by their wealth.

After leaving the Blunt Empty Residence, Li Cheng began to search the nearby area.

Two days passed, and Li Cheng finally made a discovery.

Before him was an ancient forest spanning a thousand miles, every ancient tree over a hundred meters in diameter, and within a thousand miles radius, there was complete silence!

In the center of this ancient forest was a kilometer-wide pit, bottomless and impenetrable to Divine Sense due to a Formation.

Standing near the pit, Li Cheng couldn’t help but think of Skull Island; the aura emitted from the two sockets there was identical to the one here.

“Could the Bone Clan God King who escaped be here?” Li Cheng pondered, debating whether to go in and check.

If a Divine King lurked within… he would only have the option to flee into the Blunt Empty Residence.

But if that was the case, he feared it would be a long entrapment.

“Li Cheng? What are you doing here?”

Just then, a familiar voice sounded.

Li Cheng touched his face; despite disguising himself as Yun Tianqiong, he was still recognized!

Turning around, he saw Xiao Changting approaching with steady steps.

“I’ve seen the head chief!” Li Cheng bowed respectfully.

Xiao Changting, a terrifying presence with a Complete Divine King Cultivation, rendered his disguise utterly useless in his eyes.

Xiao Changting gave a slight nod, his gaze shifting toward the pit, “I sensed the aura of the Skull King. He has regained his Divine King Realm Cultivation and seems to have lured me here on purpose.”

“Deliberate action, it must be a trap!” Li Cheng said.

Xiao Changting nodded, “Of course, but what kind of trap capable of threatening me could he devise? I will go down and take a look, and end this once and for all.”

Without waiting for a response from Li Cheng, Xiao Changting had already jumped down, disappearing from Li Cheng’s senses in an instant.

Li Cheng did not follow; after all, combat at the Divine King level was not something he could partake in, and he feared for his life in case he got caught in the crossfire.

He sat down cross-legged, waiting.

And wait he did, for a month.

Yet, for a whole month, not a single stir of activity came from within!

“With the head chief’s strength, it’s odd that there has been no sign of movement for a month!”

Li Cheng, stroking his chin, eventually decided to go down and take a look. There must be something more within, or it wouldn’t be silent for so long.

Jumping into the pit and descending ten miles, he reached the bottom to find a scene of clear skies and flourishing mountains.

Stunned, Li Cheng noticed no spatial fluctuations during the descent, which meant he hadn’t been transported elsewhere; this place was indeed beneath the pit.

Strange it was that looking up, the path from which he came had vanished, with no trace of any Formation.

It seemed as if descending had transported him to a completely different world.

Li Cheng furrowed his brows, more troubling, this place completely suppressed Divine Sense!

“A Divine World, or perhaps an Illusion Array!”

Li Cheng concluded that this place was either a Divine World left behind by a powerful being after their death or an Illusion Array.

If it were an Illusion Array, then it was exceedingly ingenious, for Li Cheng had not detected any trace of a Formation.

Unable to extend his Divine Sense, this did not hinder Li Cheng from using Divine Spirit Steps, yet with only mountain ranges in sight, Li Cheng had no idea where Xiao Changting might have gone.

Moreover, uncertain whether this was an Illusion Array, it was imprudent to wander recklessly.

After a brief contemplation, Li Cheng sat down cross-legged, closely sensing this world before using Enlightenment.

[Current remaining instances of Enlightenment: 10271.]

In an enlightened state, Li Cheng clearly saw the veins of the world, blocked by an invisible force at both ends.

“Indeed, it is an Illusion Array, a Level Six one!”

Li Cheng’s eyes snapped open, and he stood up, stepping out along the vein that he had just sensed. The scenery shifted before his eyes, turning into an underground cavern.

“`

The cave wasn’t large, and at its center lay a transmission array that still emanated spatial fluctuations, obviously just activated.

“A sixth level illusion array concealing this transmission array, but where does it lead?”

Li Cheng found himself perplexed, as the cave brimmed with numerous traces of the Demon Race and Dead Spirits, indicating that a great number of them had departed through the transmission array.

If by chance the destination of the transmission was the enemies’ stronghold, wouldn’t his entry be like a sheep entering the tiger’s den?

However, Xiao Changting had gone through as well, and with him there, things should be all right.

With that thought, Li Cheng stepped onto the transmission array.

This was a dimly lit world, filled with dense Demonic Qi, laced with the pervasive presence of death.

In the sky, Xiao Changting’s divine might was overwhelming, surrounded by the Heavenly Seal, Heavenly Rui Seal, and three other seals, fiercely combating more than a dozen formidable beings exuding terrifying auras.

The Skull King was suddenly among them!

On the ground, countless armies of the Demon Race and Dead Spirits gathered, forming battle arrays to counter the waves of combat spreading through the sky.

In the distance stood a solitary black stone peak, towering ten thousand feet high, with a throne hewn at its summit. At the moment, there sat a middle-aged man with a face as sharp as a blade, nonchalantly watching the battle in the sky.

Below the throne, eighteen stone chairs were placed, and upon them sat members of the Demon Race and Dead Spirits, their auras discreetly surpassing that of Xiao Changting.

Suddenly, the far-off transmission array lit up again.

The middle-aged man gave the transmission array a glance, a trace of scorn flashing in his eyes, then shifted his attention back to Xiao Changting.

“Such a minor Divine Monarch dares to follow us; the Human Tribe really does court death!” a ghastly youth at the tail end of the row scoffed.

The figure that appeared on the transmission array was, of course, Li Cheng.

Upon appearing, Li Cheng immediately felt a tingling sensation in his scalp and warily turned his attention toward the lone peak!

Atop the lofty peak, eighteen auras no weaker than Emperor Xuankong were spine-chilling, and one seemed to be no less formidable than Blunt Empty Venerable.

“Eighteen Divine Emperors, one Divine Venerable… indeed, the lair of the Evil Demon!”

Chills coursed through Li Cheng’s heart as he looked to the sky.

Xiao Changting was battling fifteen Divine Kings single-handedly, and was clearly prevailing. However, with those strong individuals from the peak watching intently, Xiao Changting was unavoidably hindered.

As Li Cheng appeared, Xiao Changting’s already solemn expression instantly turned grave. Damn it, why did this youngster follow me?

“Worthless fools, I’ve sealed space, and yet you fifteen together can’t capture a six-star Demon-suppressing Envoy?” the ghastly youth scoffed.

Amidst his scoffing voice, the ghastly youth reached out across the void, and Xiao Changting’s figure faltered!

In that moment of delay, eight attacks struck Xiao Changting, shattering the five seals that protected him, and sending him flying backward.

Relief flooded through the fifteen pursuers, yet they did not halt their movements, collectively launching an assault towards the retreating Xiao Changting.

“Damn it!”

Li Cheng cursed inwardly, took a step forward, and in a blink, reached Xiao Changting’s side. Space Law surged, enveloping Xiao Changting, and with another step, Li Cheng instantly traversed 129,600 miles.

“Hmm?”

The ghastly youth on the tail end seat stood up in shock, his gaze fixed on the direction Li Cheng and Xiao Changting had fled. They had actually escaped right before his eyes!

And that was just a Divine Monarch!

He himself had sealed the space; how could a mere Divine Monarch still perform Divine Spirit Steps?

“Capture that man alive; he is a Space Law Envoy. Don’t let him escape!” the formidable middle-aged man said from the main seat, his voice indifferent.

The ghastly youth nodded, about to give pursuit when he saw the middle-aged man suddenly rise, his expression turning grave.

“What is it, Lord Demon Lord?” the ghastly youth hastily inquired, uncertain whether to pursue or not.

Looking up at the sky, the middle-aged man’s indifferent voice sounded, “Who goes there?”

The dull clouds dispersed abruptly, and sunlight poured down.

Only then did the assembly of Divine Emperors realize a mysteriously veiled woman had been hidden there!

The woman wore a hat with a veil that cascaded down, concealing her features.

Under the sunlight, the woman in white radiated a faint glow, appearing even more ethereal and holy. Although she didn’t exude any aura, it seemed as though an invisible force was subtly sweeping through heaven and earth!

“Haoran Air! Confucian Divine Venerable!”

As the middle-aged man detected the spreading invisible force, his face grew somber.
