Chapter 1349 – The Power of a God Lord

Inside the Heavenly Demon Hall, Zhao Feng’s and Ancient God Nether Spring’s groups – the pursuer and pursued – all suddenly trembled. All of them sensed that a dreadful power was hanging over their heads.

“What’s going on? Is this mighty energy coming from outside!?” Ancient God Luo Ling blurted out in shock.

This mighty energy alone, which had to seep in through the external defensive array, was enough to instill dread in all of them. It was difficult to imagine just how terrifying the expert was that exuded this energy.

“This energy…! Haha, you’re all finished!” The fleeing Ancient God Nether Spring suddenly stopped and began to madly laugh.

An energy that could make even a Rank Nine Ancient God like him feel fear, the Death energy, and the reaction from his eyes; Ancient God Nether Spring was sure that a God Lord expert, sent by their superiors, had arrived at the Heavenly Demon Hall.

Upon capturing the Heaven’s Legacy Cat, the Heavenly Demon Hall had swiftly reported the matter to their superiors. The matter of the Heaven’s Legacy Cat was apparently of such importance that a God Lord had been sent to pick it up.

Of course, this God Lord would also pick up all the treasures and research results the Heavenly Demon Hall had gathered as well.

“What’s going on?” Zhao Feng was uneasy, but he had consumed too much Eye Intent. Peering through the vast confines of the Heavenly Demon Hall to see what was going on outside in the Arctic Abyss was simply impossible.

“Haha, His Excellency the God Lord has descended. You troublemakers, do you think you can still survive?” Ancient God Nether Spring fearlessly revealed what was going on.

All he wanted to see was the fearful expressions on the faces of Zhao Feng’s group.

“God Lord!?” Ancient God Luo Ling was stunned, and she immediately sensed that the situation was not good.

The strongest member dispatched on this mission was Ancient God Scarlet Firmament. Since they were members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, this God Lord probably wouldn’t make things too difficult for them, but as for their mission…

“A God Lord has come!?” Zhao Feng’s body shivered.

On the surface, the movers and shakers of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were all Ancient Gods. God Lords were supreme experts that appeared once every several hundred thousand years, perhaps even only once every million years. It was rumored that a God Lord in a moment of anger could destroy the world.

Even someone as calm as Zhao Feng began to panic at this time. Unlike Ancient God Luo Ling, he did not have the Spacetime Sacred Land to cover for him. He was backed by the Spiritual Race, which was much less intimidating than a God Realm Sacred Land. Moreover, Zhao Feng had wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Demon Hall, and not even he was sure how many of its members he had killed. This God Lord had no reason whatsoever to let him go.

Even if Zhao Feng used all his trump cards, he wouldn’t be able to harm even a hair of a God Lord’s head, and some of his secrets, if exposed, might even earn him the God Lord’s attention.

His only chance of survival lay in pretending to be a member of the Spacetime Sacred Land and getting help from Ancient God Luo Ling. However, if Zhao Feng emerged and met with the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, there was a chance of him being exposed.

Swish!

Zhao Feng took out several resources that could replenish the soul and immediately consumed them. At the same time, he put away the Spacetime Robe and sealed his Origin energy.

“God Lord!?” The flames on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon’s body immediately vanished, and it transformed into a black-scaled man with a fearful expression.

Its master was Zhao Feng, and even Zhao Feng found it difficult to protect himself in this situation, meaning that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was in even greater danger.

The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was extremely unwilling at this time; it had attained a higher cultivation than ever before and had even obtained a reverse scale of the Destruction Dragon Race, giving it a chance to strive for the peak of the Heavenly Divine Realm, and perhaps even make an attempt at becoming a God Lord.

In the outside world, heaven and earth were pitch-black – a world of endless darkness and death. Those within did not have the power to determine whether they lived or died.

Everyone trembled in fear, fighting against the immense pressure as they stared at the person in the center of this world of death, the man who controlled their fates – who determined whether they lived or died.

He had a head of white hair, and his solemn and serene face exuded majesty. His pitch-black eyes were like black holes of death that sought to devour all life.

“It’s a God Lord!” Ancient God Scarlet Firmament stared at the man as he blurted out in shock.

Only a God Lord could possess such power.

In addition, Ancient God Scarlet Firmament sensed that this person was no ordinary God Lord. The moment this God Lord appeared in the region, all things were under his beck and call. Even using Spacetime Intent to try and flee was extremely difficult for Ancient God Scarlet Firmament.

“How could a God Lord descend!?” The other members of the Spacetime Sacred Land were stunned by Ancient God Scarlet Firmament’s words.

Deep within this pitch-black world, they could sense that their life was slowly being drained away, and this was only the energy that this person unconsciously emitted.

“Lord Heavenly Solitude, I did not think that you would personally come!” The gray-scaled elder respectfully bowed.

At the same time, all the other Heavenly Demon Hall members kneeled.

This faction truly isn’t simple. They actually have such a powerful God Lord! Ancient God Scarlet Firmament mentally muttered in shock.

“You are Scarlet Firmament?” God Lord Heavenly Solitude suddenly gazed at Ancient God Scarlet Firmament.

This casual glance exerted boundless pressure on Ancient God Scarlet Firmament. Deathly black mist began to unconsciously gather around Ancient God Scarlet Firmament, increasing the rate at which his vitality was devoured.

“Yes!” Ancient God Scarlet Firmament harnessed all his strength to resist the worldly energy exerted by God Lord Heavenly Solitude as he met his gaze.

They were members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, and he himself was the disciple of the Spacetime God. A normal God Lord would not dare to do anything to him. Moreover, this God Lord did not appear to be an expert of a God Realm Sacred Land.

Thus, Ancient God Scarlet Firmament was not afraid. He was confident that he could give enough reasons that God Lord Heavenly Solitude would not make too much trouble for his group.

God Lord Heavenly Solitude gazed at Ancient God Scarlet Firmament and faintly smiled.

Whoosh!

He suddenly extended a hand, his palm faced downward to the Heavenly Demon Hall in the depths of the Arctic Abyss. The palm began to emit Origin energy that an ordinary person would find impossible to detect.

A moment later, the entire Arctic Abyss began to fiercely shudder. In fact, it seemed like the entire world was trembling, on the verge of cracking apart.

“This is the power of a God Lord? This is capable of changing the face of the world….” an Ancient God of the Spacetime Sacred Land stared with wide eyes as he murmured in shock.

Everything beneath them was quaking. The mountains, rivers, and earth were all breaking apart.

“What’s he trying to do?” Ancient God Scarlet Firmament’s face tensed. He felt that this God Lord was not acting logically.

“Rise!” God Lord Heavenly Solitude murmured.

Rumble!

The world beneath them shattered, and then they saw an enormous black sphere of energy slowly rise.

“This…” Ancient God Scarlet Firmament stared in shock at this black sphere.

Inside this ball of energy was an enormous sealed complex of buildings. This was clearly the Heavenly Demon Hall.

The defensive arrays around the Heavenly Demon Hall were still active. The many experts who had been maintaining the array were all caught by surprise.

God Lord Heavenly Solitude had extracted the entire territory of a peak four-star faction!

“Ancient God Luo Ling!” Ancient God Scarlet Firmament suddenly remembered something.

God Lord Heavenly Demon Hall clearly intended to move away the entirety of the Heavenly Demon Hall, but Ancient God Luo Ling was still inside.

“Lord Heavenly Solitude truly possesses divine might!” the gray-scaled elder spoke in a trembling voice, an agitated expression on his face.

This sight was simply too stunning.

Given how much ruckus was produced, this Heavenly Demon Hall could no longer keep existing. He could naturally understand God Lord Heavenly Solitude’s reasoning.

“Mm.” God Lord Heavenly Solitude nodded in reply.

The black ball of energy engulfing the entire Heavenly Demon Hall began to gradually contract until it was only about a thousand feet wide.

Shrinking down a dimension was not a very difficult task. After all, completely extracting such an enormous area from the ground required an unimaginably immense amount of power.

Whoosh!

The black sphere floated to God Lord Heavenly Solitude’s side. As for the world down below, it had been blasted beyond recognition.

Within the Heavenly Demon Hall:

“What happened just now?”

Everyone was alarmed and confused. They only sensed the entire Heavenly Demon Hall quaking, but they knew nothing else.

“Let me see what the situation is.” Zhao Feng had recovered some of his Eye Intent. If he pushed all his power into his see-through ability, he would probably be able to see what was going on outside.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

His vision pierced through one layer after another.

Zhao Feng’s expression flickered, and then it flickered again.

“This…!” Zhao Feng was stunned, unable to speak.

After seeing through the Heavenly Demon Hall, he realized that the entire place was floating in the sky. And in the sky was a gigantic man clothed in black, who seemed to be the center of the world.

This was a God Lord.

“What sort of power is this!?” Zhao Feng was flabbergasted.

He knew it wasn’t that the God Lord had gotten larger, but that he had gotten smaller – that the entire Heavenly Demon Hall had gotten smaller.

At this moment, God Lord Heavenly Solitude looked into the Heavenly Demon Hall and coldly laughed.

“For the Heavenly Demon Hall to have been wrecked in this manner, you must pay the corresponding price!” God Lord Heavenly Solitude stared at Ancient God Scarlet Firmament and icily said.

These words sent a shock through the hearts of the Spacetime Sacred Land members.

“Senior, the cause for this matter was the Heavenly Demon Hall seizing members of the Spacetime Sacred Land!” Ancient God Scarlet Firmament, fearful, hurriedly began to explain.

“How many members of the Spacetime Sacred Land died? And how many members of the Heavenly Demon Hall died?” God Lord Heavenly Solitude coldly asked, his expression unchanged.

The members of the Spacetime Sacred Land instantly fell silent. That was not how things were calculated.

“How could the people of the Heavenly Demon Hall compare to the people of the Spacetime Sacred Land,” a Rank Nine Ancient God, unable to hold himself back, softly grumbled.

He was a peak Rank Nine Ancient God who came with Ancient God Scarlet Firmament, and he was the second most powerful in the team from the Spacetime Sacred Land.

God Lord Heavenly Solitude’s expression was unchanged, as if he heard nothing at all, but then, he turned to Ancient God Scarlet Firmament and declared, “I will not kill you, but the rest of them must die!”

Ancient God Scarlet Firmament was the Spacetime God’s disciple, and God Lord Heavenly Solitude truly did not dare to do anything to him.

“Senior, this…” Ancient God Scarlet Firmament grimaced and prepared to say something.

Kabooom!

The black fog instantly coalesced into savage ghostly claws, and that member of the Spacetime Sacred Land that spoke out just a few moments ago was immediately seized.

“No, spare me…!”

After a few screams, the black fog scattered, and the Rank Nine Ancient God was no more.

God Lord Heavenly Solitude acted as if he had done nothing at all.

All was quiet, and a fear of death began to hang over all the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land.

This God Lord would even kill a member of the Spacetime Sacred Land without a word. This sort of conduct was certain to infuriate the Spacetime Sacred Land. Unless God Lord Heavenly Solitude’s faction could contend against the Spacetime Sacred Land, the Spacetime Sacred Land would hunt him down, no matter what zone he ran to.

Zhao Feng saw this all from within the Heavenly Demon Hall, and his shock was redoubled. He had always believed that the gap between God Lords and Rank Nine was not large. Only today did he realize how naive he was.

God Lords were the true gods of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!

“Next one!” God Lord Heavenly Solitude’s voice was like a proclamation of death.

At this moment, all the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, excluding Ancient God Scarlet Firmament, felt frozen stiff, their souls trembling in fear.

“Die!” God Lord Heavenly Solitude spoke, and all the deathly black fog in this world of darkness began to surge.

But at this moment, God Lord Heavenly Solitude suddenly grimaced. This was the first time his expression had ever changed since his arrival.

“Stop!” A transcendent and timeworn voice, one that seemed to come from a distant dimension, resounded through the world of darkness.

At this moment, a ray of light appeared overhead, and then the world of darkness slowly began to crumble.
