King of Gods

In less than half a day, a black-robed middle-aged man arrived at the location, but there were no signs that a Divine Kingdom still existed here. Remnants of Divine Power still lingered and the spatial structure was very unstable. It was clear that a high-level battle had taken place here.

“I came too late!” The black-robed man sent a message to God King Nethercloud.

In truth, when God King Nethercloud returned to the Illusion God Sacred Land, he had already guessed at the result.

All the upper echelon members of the Sacred Land would take a sliver of their Soul Origin and fashion it into a Soul Jade that would be stored in the Sacred Land. The shattering of the Soul Jade would signify the death of the owner.

The Soul Jades of all the Sacred Land members who went to the Light Race Divine Kingdom to capture the Ninth God Eye had shattered. In these circumstances, the enemy had definitely already fled.

Later that day, God King Nethercloud vented his rage on the Nightmare Beast King and sealed it once more.

Afterward, God King Nethercloud immediately mobilized all the members of the Sacred Land to search for Giant God Hall and Zhao Feng, even taking part in the search himself. However, several months went by without any clues.

Meanwhile, in the Heaven Defying Faction’s Divine Kingdom, Yu Liuping grimly entered the central Heaven’s Legacy city island. In the pitch-black palace at the top, several Divine Emissaries and the Heaven Lord himself were waiting.

“Your Excellency Heaven Lord, with my strength, I was definitely capable of capturing Zhao Feng, but-” Yu Liuping got down on one knee and hastily explained.

“No matter what your explanation is, you still defied my order.” The Heaven Lord’s eyes were half-closed and his tone was flat and indifferent, but this made Yu Liuping even more afraid.

“Yes!” Yu Liuping did not dare argue, but there was one thing that he needed to say. “This subordinate’s failure is closely connected to Yu Tianwu. Otherwise, the Ninth God Eye would have already been ours!”

The name “Yu Tianwu” immediately caused the mood in the palace to change.

The Heaven Lord opened his deep and profound eyes. “Explain everything regarding this man that you know. Don’t leave out a single detail!”

Although the Divine Emissaries present were not members of the Heaven’s Legacy Race, they knew of the surname Yu, and they also knew of the name Tianwu.

Yu Tianwu was the leader of the Heaven’s Legacy Race’s Sage Faction.

It had been a very long time since the Sage Faction had last appeared before them. They had not expected for the Sage Faction’s shadow to appear at this crucial moment.

“At the time, it was only Yu Tianwu’s spatial projection that appeared in the Light Race Divine Kingdom….” Yu Liuping immediately recounted everything that transpired regarding Yu Tianwu.

In truth, his failure had little connection with Tianwu, but by revealing the matter, he could reduce the blame the Heaven Lord placed on him.

“It seems like the Sage Faction has some understanding of our plan. As we are at a critical juncture, I will not punish you….” A sharp light flashed in the Heaven Lord’s indifferent eyes.

The Heaven Defying Faction’s plan had always been a tightly-guarded secret. Not even the Divine Emissaries knew the exact details. But given how the Sage Faction had so abruptly appeared, he had to be careful.

“Left Protector, what is the state of your investigation?” The Heaven Lord looked at the Protector.

The chances that the Sage Faction knew their entire plan was extremely low. What needed to be done at this time was completing the plan as quickly as possible. Once everything was settled, not even the Sage Faction would be able to do anything about it.

“The factions with a close relationship to Zhao Feng within the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods are the Spiritual Race and Giant God Hall. Giant God Hall has already moved, leaving only the Spiritual Race. Besides that, the place Zhao Feng first appeared was the Gulong Zone….” the Protector slowly spoke.

The Heaven Lord had him investigate everything regarding Zhao Feng in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Only after understanding everything about him could they find his weakness.

“The Ziling Zone where the Spiritual Race resides is overseen by the Life God. We can’t move against them yet.” The Heaven Lord shook his head.

“Your subordinate also learned that Zhao Feng is extremely close with the prodigy of the Spiritual Race, Zhao Yufei. Zhao Feng joined the Spiritual Race because of this woman, and this woman has taken her leave of the Spiritual Race.” The Protector smiled.

“Okay. You will personally handle this matter.” The Heaven Lord nodded. He was more at ease when the Protector was on the job.

Down below, Yu Liuping was shocked. The Left Protector was a person of extremely high status in the Heaven’s Legacy Race. He didn’t expect for the Heaven Lord to have the Protector personally carry out this mission.

But this also represented the Heaven Lord’s resolve to obtain the Ninth God Eye. Zhao Feng was definitely done for.

On the other end, Zhao Feng and Giant God Hall traveled in the Light Race Divine Kingdom, beginning their long journey to the Sage Faction. The location given by Yu Tianwu was extremely far away from the Chixing Zone, but this was fine; it would avoid any problems with the Illusion God Sacred Land.

On the journey, everyone spent their time in seclusion. The Light Race was burdened with a mission of vengeance and needed to get stronger. Meanwhile, Giant God Hall was facing a powerful foe in the Illusion God Sacred Land. The pressure and humiliation served to stimulate their potential.

At this moment, Zhao Feng also began a long seclusion within the Dream Divine Kingdom. He had just broken into the Second Heaven, and he needed a large amount of time to stabilize his foundations.

After each period of cultivation, he would restrict himself in various ways and search for opponents in the Divine Kingdom to hone himself.

Time flew by, and Zhao Feng had soon spent ten-some years stabilizing his cultivation. Of course, this was all within the Divine Kingdom.

In this period, Zhao Feng’s Primal Chaos energy had made significant progress. Of his other Intents, he had succeeded in turning his Lightning Intent into a Law. This might have been because Zhao Feng had a Lightning Soul Body, and another reason could have been that the Dream God Eye had improved his comprehension abilities, causing his understanding of the Lightning Dao to unexpectedly ascend to the Law level.

Other than solidifying his foundations and increasing his cultivation level, Zhao Feng spent the majority of his time on the Dream God Eye.

The Dream God Eye had already reached the God Eye level, but Zhao Feng was still unable to use its full power. This was partially down to his cultivation.

Of course, while researching Dream eye-bloodline techniques, he had not forgotten how he got here. A long time ago, he had an idea of mixing Chaos Origin power with his Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame, or perhaps fusing Tribulation Lightning energy into the eye-bloodline technique version of the Chaos Origin Divine Sword. Now that Zhao Feng could easily use the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword and his understanding of the Lightning Dao had reached the Law level, it would be much easier to try out this kind of eye-bloodline technique.

Swish!

Lightning brands emerged on Zhao Feng’s left eye. At the same time, a miniature Primal Chaos Divine Sword formed. The two of them slowly began to merge.

Thwish!

Suddenly, a sword of lightning shot forward. It left a scarred and twisted path in the air.

After being fused with Tribulation Lightning energy, the Primal Chaos Divine Sword was much more powerful, but Zhao Feng was not completely satisfied. His initial idea of the fusion of the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame and Primal Chaos Divine Sword was abnormally powerful and was able to be instantly fired.

Zhao Feng further studied the eye-bloodline technique version of the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword. Although it was very fast, it was not easily fired, meaning there was still a chance of dodging it.

Three years later, the Light Race Divine Kingdom reached the Qianshan Zone in the western region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. The zones adjacent to the Qianshan Zone were the Tianhe Zone and Tongtai Zone.

Zhao Feng was rather surprised that the Sage Faction was hidden here. Zhao Feng had been captured by the Heaven Defying Faction in the Tianhe Zone, and then he had offended the Tongtai Zone’s Golden Dragon Sacred Land. He was still probably being hunted in the Tongtai Zone.

But he was confident that if he hid in the Sage Faction, the Golden Dragon Sacred Land would never be able to find him.

After venturing through an endless range of mist-covered mountains, Xin Wuheng, Twilight Valley, and Zhao Feng arrived at a cool and clear mountain valley.

“This is the place!” Twilight Valley called out.

At this moment:

Bzzz!

In the distance, the mist roiled, forming a passage. Through this passage was an otherworldly paradise.

The location of the Sage Faction was a place of verdant hills and clear streams. Clouds of mist lingered, imbuing the place with a tranquil and mysterious aura. All of this was far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

When they arrived, their hearts inexplicably felt calm.

“Everyone, welcome! Lord Tianwu is expecting you!” a sage wearing a pitch-black robe warmly spoke. At the same time, he subtly inspected Zhao Feng.

The sage led the way into the territory of the Sage Faction.

Though the world was engulfed in mist, one could see many black towers poking out of the whiteness. At the center of this world was an abnormally large and mystical pitch-black tower.

“Heaven’s Legacy Race, Sage Faction!” Xin Wuheng was so excited that he found it hard to calm down.

The Heaven’s Legacy Race was the 3rd ranked mythical race, and now, they were about to see the leader of the Heaven’s Legacy Race’s Sage Faction.

Each of them had countless questions on their minds. The Heaven’s Legacy Race was the most intelligent of all species. Perhaps Giant God Hall could get some guidance on its destiny within this place.

Once they reached the top floor, the group discovered that there were only five people in this spacious and still room.

Their eyes focused on the two people standing at the very front. One of these people had an appearance completely identical to the projection that had appeared in the Light Race Divine Kingdom. Next to him was a woman with a quiet and elegant beauty.

“Sage, she…” Zhao Feng was struck dumb.

He had been planning to ask Yu Tianwu where the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace and Liu Qinxin had gone and why he had seen a girl extremely similar to Liu Qinxin in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, but now, he saw that this mysterious woman who was extremely similar to Liu Qinxin was standing right next to Yu Tianwu.

Of course, Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley were also rather astonished when they saw this woman. Back when they were fighting against Yu Heng in the Light Race Divine Kingdom, they had seen the back of a person who was very similar to this woman. And that cat was here as well.

So that’s what was going on! It was the Sage Faction who helped the Light Race back there? Twilight Valley sighed. It seemed like the Sage Faction and Heaven Defying Faction truly were different. He had made the right choice.

And Xin Wuheng also found this woman to be very familiar.

“You… are…?” Zhao Feng carefully examined the white-clothed woman.

“Feng, we meet again!” a voice mixed with many complicated emotions spoke.

“Are you Liu Qinxin or Liu Qinyin…?” Zhao Feng’s mind was rendered blank by those words.

“Names are just designations. As long as you know that I’m that person, you can call me whatever you want!” Although the white-clothed woman maintained a calm expression, everyone could sense her joy.

“It’s really you? Qinxin!” Zhao Feng was in disbelief.

This woman before him was really that person from the Continent Zone. Since she basically admitted that she was both Liu Qinxin and Liu Qinyin and that it didn’t matter what she was called, Zhao Feng decided to call her Liu Qinxin. After all, he had memories associated with this name.

Meowmeow!

At this moment, the little thieving cat rushed out of the interspatial dimension and viewed its surroundings with wide eyes.

At the same time, the big lazy cat on Liu Qinxin’s shoulder opened its indolent eyes. When it saw the little thieving cat, a look of disdain appeared within them.

Meowmeow!

The little thieving cat harrumphed, holding its head high and straightening up, taking up a challenging posture against the big lazy cat.
