King of Gods

Chapter 1376 – Stalemate

“Why are there so many Heaven’s Legacy Race buildings here?” Ancient God Jailsea curiously asked.

He had always believed that the owner of the Ancestral Legacy Treasury was the Giant God Race, but it now appeared that this dimension originally belonged to the Heaven’s Legacy Race and was only later obtained by the Giant God Race.

“So that’s what was going on! No wonder this place holds the secret to becoming a God Lord!” Ancient God Jailsea finally understood.

Since this dimension had originally belonged to the 3rd-ranked Heaven’s Legacy Race, it was understandable for it to contain a treasure that could assist one in advancing to the God Lord level.

“Just where are they hiding?” Ancient God Ice Jade scanned the area as she rapidly moved forward.

Suddenly, the crystal in her hand began to blink with azure light. The crystal sphere in Ancient God Jailsea’s hand also showed a reaction.

“They’re hiding nearby!” Ancient God Jailsea sneered.

“Restrain your energy and slowly approach, and then we can capture and kill them in one fell swoop!” Ancient God Ice Jade messaged the others.

From Ancient God Jailsea’s defeat, Ancient God Ice Jade could tell that Xin Wuheng’s group had some skills. Moreover, in their rush to search for Xin Wuheng’s group, they had not rested at all. Thus, Ancient God Jailsea had still not completely recovered from his injuries and could only use seventy percent of his strength.

Just sit still and wait for your deaths, haha! Ancient God Jailsea inwardly laughed.

Ancient God Ice Jade was actually a little stronger than he was at full strength. Even though he could only use seventy percent of his power. if he worked together with Ancient God Ice Jade, they were unstoppable. Moreover, Ancient God Ice Jade was very cautious, so Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng would never be able to escape!

On the other side, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng were swiftly retreating.

“Two half-step God Lords?” Xin Wuheng’s expression dimmed.

After their last battle, if he worked together with Zhao Feng, he might have been able to hold out for a time against one half-step God Lord. But if there were two of them, he had no chance. He also had to consider… just how did Ancient Soul Hall get into this dimension?

“Fortunately, we have the Sensory Tower.” Zhao Feng felt rather blessed. Without the Sensory Tower, they wouldn’t have noticed Ancient Soul Hall group until they attacked.

“Should we retreat from this place, or…?” Xin Wuheng asked for Zhao Feng’s opinion.

“Enter the Sensory Tower!” Zhao Feng immediately replied.

The Ancient Soul Hall group clearly had some special tool that could sense their position. In terms of speed, they were much slower than half-step God Lords. If they retreated from this place, they would be caught eventually.

Besides, entering the Sensory Tower was the little thieving cat’s suggestion. According to the little thieving cat, the Sensory Tower’s well-preserved state meant that even two half-step God Lords would take some time to break its defenses.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng entered the Sensory Tower and went straight to the top floor. Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount were also present.

“Lord Wuheng, Ancient Soul Hall actually sent two half-step God Lords!” Ancient God Sundermount had a helpless expression.

The Giant God Race had never expected that Ancient Soul Hall would have some means of entering the Ancestral Legacy Treasury. Otherwise, they would have at least sent one half-step God Lord to accompany Xin Wuheng.

Meow!

The little thieving cat jumped onto a metal platform and gestured, indicating that there was no need to be too dejected.

“The little thieving cat says that it already has basic control over the Sensory Tower and has activated some of the defenses. Even with two half-step God Lords, Ancient Soul Hall will still need some time before they can break in.” Zhao Feng relayed the little thieving cat’s meaning.

“Is that so?” The eyes of Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount flashed.

Outside the Sensory Tower, the Ancient Soul Hall team slowly approached.

“They actually managed to notice that we were coming and hid in a Heaven’s Legacy Race building!” Ancient God Jailsea was somewhat amazed.

Earlier, they were preparing to slowly approach the location of the Ancient God Seal when they realized that it began to rapidly move, but after reaching a certain location, it stopped.

“That’s impossible!” Ancient God Ice Jade coldly said.

They had made ample preparations before entering this place. For example, the crystal balls were special tools crafted by God Lord Stellar Aspect that could sense the location of the Ancient God Seal. The Giant God Race team had entered this place with no preparations whatsoever, so how did they notice them first?

“Hmph, even if they hide in this tower, they’re still seeking death!”

“Charge in there and kill them all!”

Ancient God Ice Jade’s two team members were already getting impatient.

“Go in!” Ancient God Ice Jade yelled.

If Xin Wuheng had really noticed them beforehand, there was assuredly an ambush waiting for them inside the tower. However, she feared no ambush. In the face of absolute power, such puny tricks were useless.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The five members of Ancient Soul Hall flew to the entrance of the tower.

Right at this moment, many small holes appeared on the silver tower’s walls, spewing out silver rays of light. These silver rays of light instantly formed a complicated array.

Bzzzz!

With the array activated, a silver domain was formed. The words of the Heaven’s Legacy Race were faintly imprinted onto this domain, exuding an ancient and timeworn aura. The silver domain encompassed the entire Sensory Tower, cutting it off from Ancient Soul Hall members.

“A trifling domain array. Shatter!” Ancient God Jailsea thrust out a palm, unleashing a massive palm of black water.

Bzzzz!

The part of the silver domain that was attacked caved in like it was about to shatter. But at this moment, the Heaven’s Legacy Race words on the domain began to gleam with a strange luster. A moment later, Ancient God Jailsea’s attack began to gradually weaken, its energy fading.

“What’s going on?” Ancient God Jailsea was alarmed.

Everyone inside the Sensory Tower was elated.

“Wonderful! This defensive domain can block the attack of a half-step God Lord!” Ancient God Sundermount called out in shock.

“Not only that, but Ancient God Jailsea’s attacks seem to have been converted into an energy source for the Sensory Tower!” Zhao Feng was able to discern more.

Meow!

The little thieving cat smiled, appearing very proud and smug.

“Haha, Brother Cat, you truly are formidable!” Ancient God Sundermount heartily laughed.

Ancient God Resplendence also giggled at the little thieving cat’s display.

“This thieving cat…” Zhao Feng glanced at the images on the nonagon, his mind stunned and amazed.

He remembered earlier that the Sensory Tower needed to restrict its range to five hundred thousand li to be able to display detailed information of the area. But now, this range had increased to eight hundred thousand li. Moreover, the little thieving cat actually said just now that it could still gain even more control over the Sensory Tower.

“Everyone, we can’t just sit around. We need to use this time to increase our strength!” Xin Wuheng suddenly said.

Although they were safe for now, this was not a long-term strategy. Strength was everything!

“Mm, I sense that I’m on the verge of breaking through!”

“The same for me!”

Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount had serious and earnest expressions.

Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng proceeded to take out everything they had harvested.

“This is… Celestial Blood Glass Fruit!” Ancient God Sundermount was extremely excited.

Celestial Blood Glass Fruit didn’t have just any normal effect on the Giant God Race. It could massively boost their vitality, but it could also be fused into their blood and give them a chance of increasing the thickness of their bloodlines.

“There’s also Nine Lotus Jade Life Flowers, and with nine lotus leaves!” Ancient God Resplendence was also surprised and elated.

Meow!

The little thieving cat jumped over and took away a large portion.

Zhao Feng rolled his eyes at it. The majority of the resources this thieving cat had them go after were mainly for it to use.

But the little thieving cat truly had rendered a great service this time. Zhao Feng didn’t care, and the others had no objections either.

After the little thieving cat had its pick, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng were undoubtedly the next in line.

Zhao Feng first picked a Nine Lotus Jade Life Flower, then some cultivation resources good for the soul, and finally, he picked a few Time Intent cultivation resources.

After making his selections, Zhao Feng entered the Spacetime Robe Dimension.

“I’m already near the peak of Rank Eight. After I take the Nine Lotus Jade Life Flower, I’ll definitely be able to get there, and there’s even a chance I could break through into Rank Nine!”

Zhao Feng’s Divine Power was already incredibly powerful, and his Soul Intent had also reached Rank Nine. The only thing lacking was his cultivation.

After taking the flower, Zhao Feng immediately felt nine pure streams of energy flowing through his body and toward his dantian. The first eight streams flowed into his eight Divine Stages, stabilizing their foundations. This process was rather slow.

The ninth stream of energy flowed to the spot above his eighth Divine Stage. As long as Zhao Feng was willing, he could begin forming the Divine Stage, and he would have around a forty percent chance of successfully breaking into Rank Nine.

“The eight streams of pure energy are enough to help me reach peak Rank Eight, but the chance of reaching Rank Nine is too low. I might as well seal off this medicinal power of the ninth stream and save it for later.” Zhao Feng suddenly had an idea.

Once he reached the peak of Rank Eight and stabilized his strength, he could use the ninth stream of energy. At that point, his chance of reaching Rank Nine would probably be even greater.

Upon thinking of this, Zhao Feng moved away the ninth stream of pure energy and used icy Water Intent to seal it. Zhao Feng then covered it in Spacetime Intent so that the medicinal power would not be lost.

Besides Zhao Feng, the three members of the Giant God Race were also trying to make breakthroughs.

As for the little thieving cat, it was still fumbling around with the Sensory Tower.

Outside the Sensory Tower:

One of the members of Ancient God Ice Jade’s team was skilled in arrays and even had some understanding of Heaven’s Legacy arrays. Thus, they had remained outside and gave the array master some time to work.

In addition, they had also found many treasures in this place. The other members of Ancient Soul Hall had entered seclusion so they could increase their strength.

“This is fine as well. Once I’ve completely recovered, I’ll get that Zhao Feng and make him beg for death!” Ancient God Jailsea used this time to heal the injuries to his Soul Origin.

Ten days later, the exhausted and dejected array master moved away from the Sensory Tower.

“This old man is incompetent. I can’t break that Heaven’s Legacy array!” the Rank Nine Ancient God shamefully said.

“Hmph, wasting my time!” Ancient God Ice Jade coldly harrumphed, the bone-chilling cold almost causing the Rank Nine Ancient God’s soul to lose consciousness.

“Since that’s the case, we can only communicate with them .” Ancient God Ice Jade took out a message token and sent a message to Yu Heng’s team. “We’ve found Xin Wuheng’s location, but they’re hiding inside a Heaven’s Legacy Race building. The building has a defensive array that we cannot break.”

“Why didn’t you get in touch with me earlier?” On the other side, Yu Heng’s voice was emotionless, but it was suffused with a sinister chill.

Ancient God Ice Jade and the others were all startled. They speculated that Yu Heng might be skilled in Heaven’s Legacy secret arts, but if Yu Heng himself wasn’t here, it would probably be very difficult to undo the array.

At this moment, Yu Heng spoke in a confident tone, “If I was there personally, that Heaven’s Legacy array would be useless! But even though I can’t get there in such a short amount of time, breaking an array is a simple task….”
