Chapter 1555 – Gathering of the Strong
The Heaven Lord spread apart his arms, accepting the Destruction G.o.d Eye power pouring down from the Fan Universe. The eye in the center of his forehead pulsed with ever-greater power. All of the realm trembled, all things bowing in submission. The principles governing the universe trembled, and for a moment, the Heaven Lord seemed to stand above everything.
Everyone present felt their hearts inexplicably tremble, including the Death G.o.d, s.p.a.cetime G.o.d, and Bright Sun G.o.d. All of them felt like they had become tiny specks of dust.
The s.p.a.cetime G.o.d, who was just about to attack, couldn’t help but stop. The Heavenly Dao G.o.d Eye had a powerful suppressive effect against any one of the Eight Great G.o.d Eyes, and now, the Heavenly Dao G.o.d Eye had become even stronger – so strong that the s.p.a.cetime G.o.d did not have the courage to strike!
After taking in the Destruction G.o.d’s power, the Heaven Lord began to retract that heaven-shaking aura into his body. “Eight Great G.o.d Eyes, these will be your last days alive!” The Heaven Lord laughed and went off into the distance.
The Heaven Defying Faction members, protected by the wars.h.i.+p, didn’t suffer severe losses.
“Go.” The Heaven Lord left with the members of the Heaven Defying Faction.
A few moments later, the supreme auras of the Life G.o.d and Divine Punishment G.o.d arrived on the scene. They could tell roughly what happened based on the situation before them.
“The Heaven Lord is too dangerous….” The s.p.a.cetime G.o.d Eye lowered his head as he reluctantly admitted this fact. “We have to get rid of him as soon as possible!” The Divine Punishment G.o.d was grim and solemn.
“We might no longer be a match for him,” the Life G.o.d immediately said.
The Death G.o.d and Destruction G.o.d worked together, but the Heaven Lord was still able to kill one of them. If not for the arrival of the s.p.a.cetime G.o.d and Bright Sun G.o.d, the Death G.o.d might have died as well.
And the Heaven Lord now had two G.o.d Eye Origins. He was now so strong that not even four G.o.d Eye Deities working together would be enough to oppose him.
If they once more fell for one of the Heaven Lord’s schemes and lost another G.o.d Eye, they would truly be finished. Thus, they needed to quickly recover, gather up the power of the Ancient Desolate Realm of G.o.ds, and discuss a plan.
At this moment:
Hisssss!
Zhao Feng’s left eye was unleas.h.i.+ng vast floods of Dream Origin, dying the entire world around him in dreamy hues and causing it to tremble.
“This is…?” The Bright Sun G.o.d was startled as he stared at the distant Zhao Feng.
“The Ninth G.o.d Eye!” The Life G.o.d also looked over.
“His G.o.d Eye energy is getting stronger and stronger!” The Divine Punishment G.o.d stared at Zhao Feng’s left eye in alarm.
He sensed an immensely powerful energy from Zhao Feng’s body, but given the current situation, this was good news. The energy of a G.o.d Eye was a power they could not go without in the battle against the Heaven Lord.
“It might have been the stimulation from the Heavenly Dao G.o.d Eye….” the Death G.o.d muttered.
The Eight Great G.o.d Eyes all had a reaction to the Heavenly Dao G.o.d Eye. Zhao Feng was previously unable to use the full extent of the Ninth G.o.d Eye’s power, but after being stimulated by the Heavenly Dao G.o.d Eye, he was probably able to use more of its power.
At this point, the Death G.o.d had lost all interest in Zhao Feng’s Ninth G.o.d Eye. Dealing with the Heaven Lord was the first priority now. The opposing factions of G.o.d Eyes had already ceased to exist. He just hoped that Zhao Feng could reach the same level as the rest of them so that he could be useful in the battle against the Heaven Lord.
“Let’s withdraw.” The s.p.a.cetime G.o.d sighed.
“Everyone, let’s go to my Life Sacred Land,” the Life G.o.d offered.
Although the Heaven Lord had retreated, no one knew what he was planning. Thus, it was better that the four G.o.d Eyes did not split up, or else they might give the Heaven Lord an opening. Moreover, the Life G.o.d could treat the injuries of the other G.o.d Eyes so that they could recover as quickly possible.
“Life, you don’t mind me, right?” The Death G.o.d gave a mocking chuckle.
“We have to remove the Heaven Lord as quickly possible. Let us discuss countermeasures at the Life G.o.d’s Sacred Land,” the Bright Sun G.o.d proposed.
“Okay!” The Life G.o.d agreed.
The G.o.ds returned to the Life Sacred Land, and Zhao Feng went back with them.
The news of the deaths of the Samsara G.o.d Eye and Destruction G.o.d Eye soon spread throughout the Ancient Desolate Realm of G.o.ds, stunning everyone. G.o.ds had always been the supreme experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of G.o.ds, undying and unkillable. Never had one of the Eight Great G.o.d Eyes died, much less two in a row.
Once the G.o.ds reached the Life Sacred Land, they issued a call for all the experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of G.o.ds to gather and discuss countermeasures.
The Life Sacred Land began to reconsolidate after the war.
The G.o.d Eye Deities entered seclusion. The wounds from the Ancestral Artifact detonation and Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom detonation were not that easy to heal. They needed the power of the Life G.o.d.
In a secret chamber awash with pure Life energy, the four G.o.d Eye Deities were seated cross-legged on the floor.
“I didn’t think that even some of the Eight Great G.o.d Eyes would die!” The Death G.o.d sighed. Even though he was the Death G.o.d, he had nearly died himself at the hands of the Heaven Lord.
“Don’t think about so much. If we can recover before the Heaven Lord, we can catch him offguard,” the Life G.o.d gently said.
During the healing process, the Life G.o.d realized that there was some sort of connection between the four G.o.d Eyes and that her healing techniques were much more effective than antic.i.p.ated. If this continued, they might be able to recover before the Heaven Lord.
“Mm!” The Divine Punishment G.o.d grunted.
In a certain palace within the Life Sacred Land:
“Brother Feng, if the Heaven Lord really does fuse together the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye, do you think this world really will vanish like a dream as the legends say it will?” Zhao Yufei lay on Zhao Feng’s chest, a serene expression on her face.
“It won’t!” Zhao Feng replied after a moment’s hesitation.
But this was not what he actually thought. Zhao Feng understood that the Heaven Defying Faction’s goal was to leave this world, and this was the reason the Heaven Lord wanted the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye. This meant that the legend might be true.
“The Heaven Lord is just one person. The G.o.d Eye Deities will eliminate him and bring all this to a stop.” Zhao Feng gently stroked Zhao Yufei’s supple hair.
“Brother Feng!” Zhao Yufei looked up at Zhao Feng, somewhat worried.
She had once been happy that Zhao Feng had the Ninth G.o.d Eye, as it meant that Zhao Feng was certain to become a supreme expert. But now, Zhao Feng, as the Ninth G.o.d Eye, was one of the Heaven Lord’s targets and would have to partic.i.p.ate in the battle against the Heaven Lord.
Zhao Feng clenched his fists. The Heaven Lord had to be eliminated, or else it would be hard to say what would happen to the Ancient Desolate Realm of G.o.ds.
Time slowly pa.s.sed. The Heaven Defying Faction and the Heaven Lord seemed to disappear like a puff of steam, and there was no news of them.
The Ancient Desolate Realm of G.o.ds gradually became peaceful.
Summoned by the four G.o.d Eye Deities and the Bright Sun G.o.d, many experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of G.o.ds began to gather in the Life Sacred Land.
After one year, the neutral member of the Eight Great G.o.d Eyes, the Myriad Forms G.o.d Eye, arrived at the Life Sacred Land.
Five years quickly pa.s.sed.
The four G.o.d Eye Deities were busy healing their injuries and did not appear once, so the Myriad Forms G.o.d Eye and the Bright Sun G.o.d handled everything.
Zhao Feng did not rest in this period, rus.h.i.+ng around here and there.
Zhao Feng didn’t know if the Heaven Lord was still watching him. Not even G.o.d Eye Deities could oppose the Heaven Lord, and if the Heaven Lord was still hunting the Ninth G.o.d Eye, Zhao Feng was placing himself in immense danger.
Even though he possessed the Dream G.o.d Eye, he was still insignificant to the Heaven Lord – someone who could be easily crushed.
Thus, Zhao Feng was rus.h.i.+ng around everywhere in search of s.p.a.ce Ancestral Artifact fragments. Once he obtained all the s.p.a.ce Ancestral Artifact fragments, Heaven Ascendant would absorb them all on its own and become a complete Ancestral Artifact.
If he had a complete defensive Ancestral Artifact, he would have one more powerful trump card at his disposal.
In the battle with the Heaven Defying Faction, Zhao Feng had obtained many spoils, with many Ancestral Artifact fragments among them. He used all his spoils besides the Ancestral Artifact fragments to exchange with the other experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of G.o.ds for s.p.a.ce Ancestral Artifact fragments.
In these last five years, Zhao Feng had traded for two pieces and found one on his own.
“I’ve come back to this place….” Zhao Feng had returned to the Gulong Zone.
He had learned from intelligence reports that the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land’s G.o.d King Swallow Devour possessed a s.p.a.ce Ancestral Artifact fragment.
The Heaven Devouring Sacred Land floated above a holy land of the Gulong Zone.
Zhao Feng’s arrival alarmed the experts of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land.
“Who goes there?” An elderly and dignified voice came out from the barrier of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land.
“Zhao Feng,” Zhao Feng flatly replied.
A few moments later, a gap appeared in the barrier, and a white-haired elder stepped out. Strange black symbols covered his cheeks.
“I did not think that Ninth G.o.d Eye Zhao Feng would pay a visit. We were rude in not coming out to greet you! Please forgive our lack of courtesy!” The elder immediately welcomed Zhao Feng inside.
Zhao Feng’s deeds had spread far and wide, and normally would have shaken the entire realm. It was just that the trouble created by the Heaven Lord had drowned them out.
Even so, no one in the Ancient Desolate Realm of G.o.ds dared to look down on Zhao Feng. At the very least, everyone who once desired the Ninth G.o.d Eye had dispelled any such thoughts.
This elder guided Zhao Feng to the main hall of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land.
Even before he entered, a loud voice rang out; “For what reason has the Ninth G.o.d Eye paid a personal visit?”
An imposing man with a rough and crude face was seated in the upper reaches of the hall.
“The four G.o.d Eye Deities in the Life Sacred Land have issued a decree for all experts to gather and discuss countermeasures against the Heaven Lord. G.o.d King Swallow Devour, why have you not gone?” Zhao Feng appeared rather surprised.
“This problem was created by the Eight Great G.o.d Eyes. I am confident that the G.o.d Eye Deities are capable of dealing with it!” G.o.d King Swallow Devour heartily laughed.
In his view, the Heaven Lord was only targeting the G.o.d Eyes, and the matter had little to do with him. And weren’t there still six G.o.d Eye Deities left? That should be enough to deal with the Heaven Lord.
G.o.d King Swallow Devour was not the only one with this thought. Zhao Feng had met several other G.o.d Kings with the same idea in his search for Ancestral Artifact fragments.
“But you didn’t come here to convince me to join the faction against the Heaven Lord, right?” G.o.d King Swallow Devour questioned.
Seeing that G.o.d King Swallow Devour was being so blunt, Zhao Feng dropped the pleasantries and went straight to the point. “I hear that G.o.d King Swallow Devour has a s.p.a.ce Ancestral Artifact fragment. Is this rumor true?”
“Oh? You are interested in my s.p.a.ce Ancestral Artifact fragment?” G.o.d King Swallow Devour squinted.
In truth, he had long ago heard that Zhao Feng was searching for s.p.a.ce Ancestral Artifact fragment, apparently hoping to fuse them into a complete Ancestral Artifact. Thus, G.o.d King Swallow Devour had intentionally spread the rumor.
“What conditions does G.o.d King Swallow Devour have?” Zhao Feng faintly smiled. He was sure that G.o.d King Swallow Devour knew his goal.
“Zhao Feng, you must be gathering s.p.a.ce Ancestral Artifact fragments in order to fight back against the Heaven Lord. In exchange for your s.p.a.ce Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, I, G.o.d King Swallow Devour, am willing to join the anti-Heaven Lord faction!” G.o.d King Swallow Devour put on an urgent expression as he righteously declared.
Zhao Feng’s eyes flashed. It turned out that G.o.d King Swallow Devour was after his Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.
You still cannot fully use your G.o.d Eye’s power. I will prove to be of greater use if I take your place in the battle against the Heaven Lord,” G.o.d King Swallow Devour added, beginning to exude a frightening pressure.
The Heaven Devouring Sacred Land was ranked in the middle of the eighteen Sacred Lands of the Ancient Desolate Realm of G.o.ds, but G.o.d King Swallow Devour was ranked among the very best G.o.d Kings.
If G.o.d King Swallow Devour possessed a complete Ancestral Artifact, he could exhibit the fighting power of a G.o.d. Even if it was just a s.p.a.ce Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, G.o.d King Swallow Devour was strong enough that his strength would be infinitesimally close to a G.o.d’s.
