King of Gods

In the Life Sacred Land, within the central palace:

“I will give you a reply soon,” the Life God softly and amiably said.

The Sacred Land just obtained a great deal of information from the Spiritual Race. It needed to further investigate so as to deepen its understanding of the situation. Thus, the Life God did not issue any decrees, but she also allowed the Spiritual Race to remain in the Sacred Land and guaranteed their safety.

“Farewell!” The Spiritual Race group rose and left.

“Patriarch, what do you think is going on here?” the Second Elder whispered.

He sensed that this matter was extremely complicated. In the past, the Heaven Defying Faction had always done its best to remain hidden, but a major shift had taken place recently. The Heaven Defying Faction conquered the Illusion God Sacred Land a while ago, and now, it had even infiltrated the power structure of the Ziling Zone. This was audacious to the extreme.

“I’m not sure.” The patriarch sighed.

The Heaven Defying Faction’s conduct was undoubtedly challenging the Sacred Land, but they did not believe that the Heaven Defying Faction would dare to actually attack the Life Sacred Land.

One had to understand that those with the title of God were immortal and supreme existences of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Not since the Eight Great God Eyes first emerged had a single God ever fallen, and this was the era of the Eight Great God Eyes, the God Eyes serving as symbols of the Gods.

For a normal person to obtain the title of God in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, there were only two options. The first was to obtain a complete Ancestral Artifact while the second was to fuse two or more perfected Laws.

But there were exceptions to everything. Holders of God Eyes only needed to become God Kings to naturally attain the title of God. This was because God Eyes themselves were equivalent to Ancestral Artifacts, perhaps even higher. They contained the primordial principles of the universe.

However, in Zhao Feng’s view, there was a chance that the Heaven Defying Faction would act against a Sacred Land presided over by a God. He had interacted with the Heaven Defying Faction many times and understood this faction far more than anyone else.

In addition, he could see that the Life God was a pacifist, even tolerating the challenges issued by others. Any other Sacred Land would have immediately exposed the matter after learning what was going on and started negotiations with the Heaven Defying Faction.

Of course, it didn’t matter how much Zhao Feng thought about these things.

Once he returned to his room, Zhao Feng entered his Divine Kingdom and began to cultivate.

Swish!

A dark and twisted fragment appeared in Zhao Feng’s hand. This was the Ancestral Artifact fragment he had obtained from Beiming Hui, an Ancestral Artifact fragment that had once belonged to the Ancestral Artifact of the Heaven Mending Race.

“Once I control this Ancestral Artifact fragment, my attacks will be even stronger!” Smiling, Zhao Feng began to refine the Ancestral Artifact fragment.

While refining the fragment, Zhao Feng split off portions of his mind to cultivate other things.

He had one part of his mind cultivate the Primal Chaos Domain. He had just finished using it in battle and had learned various things. Moreover, he was only capable of using this technique recently, so he still wasn’t very proficient with it.

Secondly, Zhao Feng studied the Primal Chaos Scripture and began to refine his Divine Power.

He sent a third part of his mind to study eye-bloodline techniques. Zhao Feng believed that there was still room to improve the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword.

One year passed within the Divine Kingdom, though this was only one day in the outside world.

In this period of time, Zhao Feng successfully refined the Ancestral Artifact fragment and had even used it a few times within the Dream Divine Kingdom.

At Zhao Feng’s current level, the Ancestral Artifact fragment did not provide as great a boost in power as imagined, but in a clash between experts, every little bit helped.

After familiarizing himself with the Ancestral Artifact fragment, Zhao Feng continued his seclusion.

But it wasn’t long before Zhao Feng sensed something strange going on outside. Although he was inside his Divine Kingdom, his senses could still perceive what was going on outside within a certain distance of his Divine Kingdom.

Swish!

Zhao Feng left the Divine Kingdom.

At the same time:

Bong! Bong! Bong!

A heavy thundering like that of war drums penetrated into his mind. For some reason, this sound made Zhao Feng’s mind blaze with fighting intent.

“Brother Feng, there’s a big problem!” Zhao Yufei’s anxious voice came from outside.

Once he left his room, that thunderous drumming intensified.

“The Heaven Defying Faction’s Divine Kingdom suddenly appeared outside the Life Sacred Land and began to attack!” Zhao Yufei anxiously said.

Although Zhao Feng had imagined this scenario, he was still stunned to hear that it had actually occurred. The Heaven Defying Faction actually dared to attack a Sacred Land presided over by a God!

A Sacred Land with a God could be considered one of the most powerful factions in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. What did the Heaven Defying Faction hope to achieve in doing this?

Zhao Feng did not believe that the Heaven Defying Faction was attacking this God Sacred Land because they thought he was hiding there.

Thwish! Thwish!

Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei swiftly went outside.

Outside the Life Sacred Land’s barrier was an enormous illusory world. It was the Heaven Defying Faction’s Divine Kingdom. Countless experts were around this Divine Kingdom, assembled into various arrays that surrounded the Life Sacred Land.

The other three five-star factions are all under the control of the Heaven’s Legacy Race!” the Spiritual Race Patriarch looked around and concluded.

The members of the three major five-star factions of the Ziling Zone could be seen in that army. Only the Spiritual Race, because of Zhao Feng’s return, was able to break free of its shackles, so its members were not among these ranks.

The Sacred Land did not seem too nervous about the Heaven Defying Faction’s mighty army. This was because their Sacred Land was presided over by a God!

Thwish!

At this moment, a light green figure shot forward, turning into a stalwart forest goddess.

All the members of the Life Sacred Land looked toward this goddess in awe and veneration.

“Heaven’s Legacy Race, what do you mean by this?” the Life God spoke in a gentle and resounding tone.

She had just sent people to investigate the matter further, but before they even returned, the Heaven Defying Faction had come to pay a visit. All of this was far too sudden.

Swish!

A white-robed figure appeared in the passage toward that illusory world.

“Heaven Lord…!” Zhao Feng inwardly muttered in shock.

The Heaven Lord gave Zhao Feng both a familiar and unfamiliar feeling. He was familiar because of the time they had spent together, but he was unfamiliar because the Heaven Lord of the present was very different from the Heaven Lord of the past.

“Heh, Life God Eye, your mission ends here!” The Heaven Lord smiled as he stared at the Life God Whoosh!

He raised his right hand and lightly waved it. Surging waves of Divine Power instantly rose up around the Life Sacred Land.

“Attack!” Deafening roars came from all around.

The upper echelon members of the Life Sacred Land had not expected for the Heaven Defying Faction to engage in hostilities without even attempting negotiations.

“Hmph, it seems like you didn’t learn much from your last lesson!” An elder who was several dozen feet tall, his skin covered in growth rings, walked out from the upper echelon of the Life Sacred Land.

“God King Radiant Peak!” the crowd couldn’t help but shout.

God King Radiant Peak was the second-in-command to the Life God and possessed profound strength. When the Life God was in seclusion, God King Radiant Peak was responsible for handling the various affairs of the Sacred Land.

“History is written by the victors!” The Heaven Lord smiled, his face suffused with confidence.

“Counterattack!” God King Radiant Peak suddenly bellowed.

The Life God had a fondness for peace and found the thought of war somewhat unbearable, but he would not be so benevolent. He would never allow anyone to challenge the dignity of the Life Sacred Land.

The members of the Sacred Land began to move, forming up into four massive groups that charged off in the four directions.

A few moments later, the two sides were doing battle.

Brrrooom!

The heavens and earth quaked. The area around the Life Sacred Land became gray and gloomy, but this did not affect anyone’s vision.

“A Sacred Land war!” Zhao Feng was startled.

He had not expected to see such a large-scale war.

A Sacred Land being overthrown was not unheard of, but it was so rare that one would be lucky to see it once every one billion years. But now, the two sides of this Sacred Land war were the Life Sacred Land with its God and the Heaven Defying Faction.

Boom! Bang! Crash!

Explosions rang out endlessly around the Life Sacred Land.

The level of those taking part in the battle ranged from True God to God Lord, but the ones primarily fighting at this time were the True Gods and Ancient Gods. Neither side had sent out many God Lords yet.

However, a few moments later, the balance of the battle began to tilt.

“To think that the Heaven Defying Faction would be so powerful!” God King Radiant Peak was alarmed.

One had to realize that the Life Sacred Land had many doctors, and these played an enormous role on the battlefield. Despite this, the Heaven Defying Faction still had the upper hand.

This was partially because the Heaven Defying Faction had consumed three of the Ziling Zone’s five-star factions and their many subordinate factions.

“Members of the Spiritual Race, you join the battle as well!” God King Radiant Peak suddenly turned to the Spiritual Race.

The Spiritual Race was subordinate to the Sacred Land and was even staying within it. Now that the Sacred Land was facing difficulties, they were obligated to lend a hand.

“But Brother Feng is the Ninth God Eye….” Zhao Yufei said.

Zhao Feng held the Ninth God Eye and had previously been one of the Heaven Defying Faction’s important capture targets. The moment he entered the battlefield, the Heaven Defying Faction would probably begin to target him.

“Zhao Feng does not need to fight right now,” God King Radiant Peak immediately said.

As the Ninth God Eye, Zhao Feng truly was a very attractive target. His entry into the battle might make it difficult to control. Besides, Zhao Feng had killed Divine Emissary Beiming Hui, so he was clearly powerful. There was no need to mobilize such a fighting force at this time.

“Go!” the patriarch roared as he led the Spiritual Race in a charge.

Yufei, be careful!” Zhao Feng called out.

But the Spiritual Race’s entry into the battle did not have much effect. Only a small portion of the Spiritual Race’s members had actually come to the Sacred Land.

The explosive news of the Sacred Land war immediately began to spread.

The first to learn of this war were the major zones adjacent to the Ziling Zone. They immediately sent experts to see what the situation was, and there was even a God King who decided to personally take a look.

A change in a Sacred Land would probably cause a shift in the power structure of the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, particularly when it came to the zones around the Life Sacred Land.

The upper echelon members of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land of the Antian Zone were only too happy to hear this news. Whichever side won or lost, the Ziling Zone’s strength would drastically decrease after this war.

In the western region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, in the Sage Faction’s secret base, the many sages were all uneasy, but they could not divine anything.

“Danger… danger from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods….” Yu Tianwu found it difficult to divine anything specific.

After all, the Heaven Defying Faction also belonged to the Heaven’s Legacy Race. It could disrupt the divinations of the Sage Faction. Moreover, there were too many experts involved in the divination, including the Life God, Heaven Lord Yu Tianshu, and many God Kings and God Lords.

Liu Qinxin closed her eyes, building up massive amounts of Destiny energy in her eyes. Gradually, she began to see an image. This image was of a green-robed woman of peerless beauty standing across from a white-robed elder in a longdistance stalemate.
