Zhao Xing snatched the note and looked at it, only to find that there were only three words: Supreme Truth Pavilion.

He looked at the Black Robe, puzzled. The man explained, "The Crisis Intelligence has been classified as dangerous because it was leaked by the Supreme Truth Pavilion."

Danger level?

Zhao Xing frowned. Crisis Intelligence comes in many forms, and Shadow Sanctum usually only notifies high-level clients when it reaches a dangerous level.

The last time the Master of Cold Food Festival descended, it was considered an extremely dangerous situation, which generally means a high mortality rate.

"Supreme Truth Pavilion wants to kill me." Zhao Xing thought of Lotus Sound Divine General and was puzzled. Supreme Truth Pavilion was just a place to obtain intelligence. He had never heard of it taking on assassination jobs.

"No," the Black Robe said calmly, "But it's information that leaked from the Supreme Truth Pavilion."

"A deputy leader sold the information that Qing Yuzi was in the Zhenyi Great World to Divine General Qiongyu of Xitian Divine King City."

"Based on the relationship between the client and Qing Yuzi, and the Immeasurable True God once took action in the Zhenyi Great World, the Holy Temple deduced that the high-level client was likely near a source of danger, and thus issued a crisis warning."

"The Qing Yuzi were so significant that they attracted a large number of pursuers."

"The force dispatched this time is only Heaven Divine King Xi's side, but there are no fewer than thirty Divine General Level."

"Once the manhunt begins, the client's identity will inevitably be exposed, leading to an even more intense manhunt and pursuit."

"The number of Divine General Level has doubled, and it is even highly likely that God King will descend."

"Therefore, the Shadow Sanctum advises the client to immediately flee from Qing Yuzi's side."

After hearing the Crisis Intelligence, Zhao Xing was speechless.

Unexpectedly, Bowei was right. When he and Qing Yuzi, two troublemakers, got together, it only caused more trouble.

There are no fewer than thirty Divine General who came to hunt down Qing Yuzi. If they discover his existence during the pursuit, there will definitely be more Divine General Level, and it may even attract the attention of God King.

The Shadow Sanctum's suggestion was not without merit.

"Lao Qing hasn't reached the second level of Divine Concealment, so he has to rely on the Nirvana Realm to hide. My Ming Li Shadowless Art hasn't reached the second level either, so it's impossible for me to be completely hidden."

"The Crisis Intelligence shouldn't be too inaccurate." Zhao Xing remembered the last Crisis Intelligence, which stated that the Master of Cold Food Festival had appeared.

And it actually happened. Although there were some errors in the details, the general direction was correct.

Zhao Xing had long been mentally prepared for the pursuit, and now that he knew about it, he was not flustered at all.

"Have the forces hunting us already locked onto us? How much time do we have left to prepare?"

"At most three days," the Black Robe said calmly.

"Knew."

Zhao Xing nodded, his mind piercing through the whirlpools and returning to reality.

He immediately called Qing Yuzi back to discuss countermeasures.

"Damn Supreme Truth Pavilion!" Qing Yuzi cursed immediately. "I knew these shady characters were no good; they don't follow any rules!"

"How many bounties do we have on us? The stakes are high enough that they can simply change their tactics and operate elsewhere. Let's not talk about that now. We can settle our revenge later. First, let's figure out how to get out of here," Zhao Xing said.

"If the information leaked from the Supreme Truth Pavilion, we'd probably be truly locked down." Qing Yuzi took out the Fate Disk that Lotus Sound Divine General had given them. "Ordinary objects are fine, but this is Fate Disk of Fate Master; finding us would be very easy."

" In Heavenly Timing, can you set up a world teleportation array in the Storm Sea and escape?" Zhao Xing didn't know how to set up arrays, and he didn't have that many secondary professions, but Lao Qing did. He had reincarnated many times during his Reincarnation Realm, so he could act as an array mage.

"Heavenly Timing isn't enough," Qing Yuzi shook her head. "No matter what, this is a cross-dimensional Magic Array; it should take at least seven days. (What about using conventional methods to escape?)"

"Then there's no need to even think about it." Qing Yuzi pointed outside. "The Boundary Wall of the Nirvana Realm is very difficult to break through, and breaking through it would cause quite a commotion. As for the regular entrances and exits, they are definitely being watched."

"Now there's only one way out: fight it out in the Storm Sea and buy ourselves time to escape!"

Zhao Xing remained silent, lost in thought.

Qing Yuzi waved his hand dismissively. "Don't even think about summoning the Immeasurable True God."

"You're someone else's subordinate, not his own son."

"We can't trouble the Immeasurable True God with everything. Besides, you've come out to gain experience, so you should try to solve things on your own first."

"On another level, even if they come to capture me now, there's a limit to how many people they can muster. Thirty Free Divine General, along with some powerful treasures, should be about enough."

"At this level of combat, we have a choice: to fight or to flee."

"If the Immeasurable True God intervenes, the level of the battle will inevitably rise, and then our fate will no longer be in our hands."

"Every favor owed is a favor owed; let's use the Dan Shu a type of imperial edict) once."

Zhao Xing also felt that Qing Yuzi's words made a lot of sense.

Furthermore, Bowei stated that this battle is a battle within the Fate Loop, so summoning the Immeasurable True God and escalating the battle would be inappropriate, and the Immeasurable True God probably knows this as well.

"I don't really want to use the Dan Shu; it's too precious. What do you think of this?" Zhao Xing used World Projection.

Seven bamboo stalks appeared before Qing Yuzi.

Qing Yuzi curiously placed her hand on the bamboo, then pulled it back as if she had been electrocuted, and then gasped.

"Hiss. Don't tell me this thing is Firecracker Bamboo!"

"It's Firecracker Bamboo."

"My God, how did they raise it?" Qing Yuzi was shocked.

"This is the masterpiece of the Penglai Divine General, nurtured using divine soil and Divine Treasure Method," Zhao Xing said.

"He said that within 30,000 World Yuan Unit, even Divine General Peak Stage would need Dao Divine Artifact to withstand the explosion of the Mother Bamboo. However, there are only seven Mother Bamboos, and each one used is one less."

"The Penglai Divine General? Is he the disciple of Earth Treasury Divine King on the Cosmic Ark?" Qing Yuzi's expression was strange. "I've heard of him. Rumor has it that he loves peace, is quite kind-hearted, and likes to raise small animals."

"The old man really likes keeping small animals. There's a walrus that I'm waiting to rescue in the future," Zhao Xing shrugged.

"Can you guarantee the power of the Firecracker Bamboo?" Qing Yuzi was still somewhat incredulous. "Have you ever set them off?"

"I haven't blown it up myself. However, the Penglai Divine General has killed many gods in the infinite loop, and he has even blown himself up many times."

This was to test the optimal power of Firecracker Bamboo.

"—" Qing Yuzi was speechless. Rumors are really just something to listen to and not take seriously. If you actually believed that the Penglai Divine General was a kind person, you wouldn't even know how you died.

"Alright, let's try blasting a few plants then. If that doesn't work, we'll use the Dan Shu," said Qing Yuzi.

"I'm going to create a deployment space in the Storm Sea right now. You can plant Firecracker Bamboo around it."

"Have you ever heard of the Storm Breath-Severing Formation? There's a reason why I've been hiding in the Storm Sea. This Celestial Timing Formation assists the Wind God Domain and can interfere with perception; even divine sense can be blown away."

"The Twin Divine Mirror can reflect time and space. After your Firecracker Bamboo explode, they can be used to create a second imprint, allowing the explosion to be repeated within a certain range."

"It's alright, this is a void-type artifact, it's meant to be a one-time consumable."

"Fry them twice, whether everyone is here or not."

"Just to be on the safe side, I have some more here—"

"The two men plotted for a moment, and then a sinister laugh echoed from inside the ship."

■a8■■g

Outside the Storm Sea, at this moment, Qiong Yu, the grandson of the Heaven Divine King Xi, arrived at the Boundary Marker Storm Sea with his men.

Divine General Qiongyu sat atop a chariot drawn by a strange beast, gazing expectantly at the Storm Sea.

"This operation is the largest arrest operation I have ever led."

"The God King City's Soul Ferrying Department, Martial God Division, Celestial God Guard, Craftsman God Division, Eight Star Academy, and various other departments have a total of thirty-six Divine General and eight hundred and fifty divine Divine Soldier. They have also mobilized three top-grade divine artifacts."

"This force, while not invincible, is more than capable of capturing Qing Yuzi."

"If this is accomplished, my fame will soar, and I can then rightfully request my grandfather to establish a divine kingdom in the Zhenyi Great World —my own divine kingdom!"

"At that time, it wouldn't be impossible for them to swallow Supreme Truth Pavilion."

Recalling the graceful dance and captivating voice of the Lotus Sound Divine General, the Divine General Qiongyu couldn't help but feel her heart stirred.

To wield power over the world while awake, and to rest one's head on the lap of a beautiful woman while drunk – that is the true Free God!

"Your Qiong Yu, the Fate Disk's signal is located within the Storm Sea." At this moment, a figure appeared beside the chariot. "Relying on its signal, we can quickly locate our target."

Divine General Qiongyu glanced at this person, who was none other Supreme Truth Pavilion: "Yin Xuan, if this matter is accomplished, I will keep my promise."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yin Xuan presented the other Fate Disk in his palm, then calmly bowed and took his leave.

Divine General Qiongyu drew his longsword, holding the Fate Disk in one hand and pointing the sword at the Storm Sea with the other, exuding confidence. "Action!"

"Roar!" A purple crystal beast shaped like a centipede roared and pulled the chariot.

However, its sound was quickly swallowed up by the endless storms of the Storm Sea.

A fierce wind howled, and the capture team quickly entered the Storm Sea, heading in the direction indicated by the Fate Disk.

"They're coming." When Divine General Qiongyu led the various deities of Xitian Divine King City into the Storm Sea, Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi felt a sense of unease.

Qing Yuzi, who was busy on a piece of black earth in a blue space, couldn't help but pause.

He jumped to the edge of the land, in front of a mirror.

The mirror reflected a blurry image, with only lines moving throughout—these were some early warning artifacts he had hidden in the storm.

After Qing Yuzi made some adjustments, the various magical artifacts transmitted back some clear images.

Zhao Xing also ran over to observe.

The mirror reflected a rotating wind tunnel, from which flew a chariot surrounded by beast armor.

The leading Divine Beast resembled a centipede, with boiling nebulous blood and blood inside its shell. Its thousands of abdominal legs were like bronze counting rods, and wherever it went, it carved divination patterns in the gale.

Four broken wings of light sprouted from the spines of the centipede-pine tree, but they were actually man-made magical artifact wings.

The left wing has a black hole above it, and the right wing has frozen Yang Star prominences, with pale white flames leaping around them.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the endless gale on the left was swallowed up, while the windstorm on the right froze.

"The Tongyuan clan, a Divine Beast Pupil Abyss, is a specialty of Xitian Divine King City." Qing Yuzi smiled at Zhao Xing. "Because they are very difficult to raise, these war Divine Beast don't usually show themselves. They really think highly of me."

"The Divine Beast Pupil Abyss?" Zhao Xing had also heard of this kind of Divine Beast. They have two famous talents: one is to be good at suppressing space, and the other is to be good at devouring the power of barriers.

Pupil Abyss's Thousand Legs can suppress the void by hundreds of feet, making it impossible for enemies to escape by entering the void layer on the battlefield.

Divine Beast beasts often possess talents superior to those of Human Race. Even at their peak, the Free Divine General would find it difficult to escape into the void in front of Tong Yuan.

Only True God could do this; even in front of Tong Yuan, he could still escape into the void and teleport away, because True God is stronger in terms of controlling the origin of heaven and earth.

The talent to devour barriers is even rarer. As long as one can lie on a barrier, a single Tong Yuan can drain a barrier dominated by a small to medium-sized high-level divine artifact within three days. Even top-grade divine artifacts can be affected.

Pupil Abyss is known as a war Divine Beast, but it requires a Pupil Abyss to cooperate with it, as its defensive capabilities are not strong on Pupil Abyss own.

It's also not flexible enough.

Therefore, the Pupil Abyss that Zhao Xing sees now is protected by people, and is also wearing layers of defensive armor.

"Those four next to him should be Xi Celestial God Guard, the divine guards beside Heaven Divine King Xi. They even transferred four of them to his grandson."

As Qing Yuzi cast his spell, even more images appeared in the mirror.

Beside Pupil Abyss, there were four figures: three wielding weapons, including swords and spears, and one shirtless.

They all have two blood-red horns on their foreheads, but those are divine objects.

The two horns connect to the thick, black and blood-red armor he wears, and there are faint silver scales on the skin of his bare arms.

The four of them standing there resembled a majestic Sacred Mountain.

"With Abyssal Pupil, we'll almost never need to bring the God of Arrays again. Among the remaining Divine General, there's one Fate Master, two Agricultural Official, and one Priest worth noting."

Qing Yuzi watched as the group passed through his warning artifacts. After they passed, the warning artifacts were also detected by the two Agricultural Official.

One of the Shennong God coldly crushed the small warning artifact, while the other handed it to the Fate Master behind him and turned to observe Qing Yuzi.

His gaze was clearly fixed straight ahead, as if he were looking at Qing Yuzi through a mirror.

As for the Priest Divine General Qiongyu, they were always painted with strange golden oil paints and had chicken feather-like decorations on their heads.

His eyes remained closed.

"To be able to keenly detect magical artifacts deliberately placed in the wind amidst the Storm Sea, these two Agricultural Official must be Shennong God from the Time Faction!"

"The number of Shennong God under the Time Faction is limited, and even the number under the command of the Heaven Divine King Xi is not large. These two have reached the Divine General Level and should be the Fierce Wind Divine General and the Blood Rain Divine General often go out to fight."

Qing Yuzi, having spent many years in the outside world, has a very clear understanding of the ins and outs of various forces.

Through the mirror, Zhao Xing could not observe their information on the panel and had no idea who these people were.

"Did this Fate Master see us?" Zhao Xing asked. The Fate Master in the mirror was opening and closing his mouth.

The mirror's spirit also revealed some writing:

"Qing Yuzi, you are surrounded. Surrender now and submit to Qiong Yu, and you may have a chance to live."

Qing Yuzi sneered.

"He might be able to sense it, but he can't see through it. He's just putting on an act."

"Otherwise, his words should have been imprinted on me through the Twinborn Institute Mirrors, imprinting the fate of surrender into my divine body."

"The two Agricultural Official and the Celestial God Guard are the ones we should be most wary of."

"As for that little Priest next to him," Qing Yuzi pointed to the one next to Divine General Qiongyu.

"The Priest has declined; there's no need to concern ourselves with it."

Qing Yuzi winked at Zhao Xing.

"Okay, I understand," Zhao Xing replied with a blink.

"The Priest has declined; there's no need to concern ourselves with it."

Divine General Qiongyu sat on his chariot, while the Fate Master You Bo beside him held a Fate Disk and played out the 'gossip' he had captured.

"Hahaha." Upon Divine General Qiongyu burst into laughter. "You Bo, this Qing Yuzi is truly ignorant, hahaha."

It's no wonder that Divine General Qiongyu mocked him, because the Priest beside him had quite a lot to say.

First is the Seven Gen Feathers, which correspond to the seven major regions in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

This means that the person next to him is the strongest Seven Regions Priest among the Divine General!

The Divine Art can proceed unimpeded in all seven regions.

The God King have wide connections, and many of them are friendly with the Xitian Divine King City.

The seven feathers also represent the ability to borrow the divine power of seven God Kings, including the Heaven Divine King Xi.

It can be said that Divine General Qiongyu's greatest reliance is this Seven Regions Priest, Night Soul Divine General.

"It's normal that he doesn't know about the Seven Regions Priest, since all those Ye Po has seen who have made a move are dead," said the Fate Master You Bo. "However, Your Highness shouldn't underestimate Qing Yuzi, as he managed to escape from the Bookless Divine King City until now."

"He already sensed that we were coming to arrest him, yet he still dared to say he would kill us. He must have something to rely on."

"Don't worry, You Bo." Divine General Qiongyu nodded. "Qing Yuzi, an Evil God, is worth such a high bounty. He even stole the secrets of the Bookless Divine King City. He must have some treasures with him."

"I did not underestimate him; on the contrary, I valued him highly, which is why I brought so many people over."

"After capturing him, first interrogate him about the secrets of the Evil God's side, such as who is infiltrating and what their plans are. Then ask about the secrets of the Bookless Divine King City. I heard that he has even entered the Bookless Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity."

In Divine General Qiongyu's plan, killing Qing Yuzi to claim the bounty and make a name for himself was just the final step.

The value of the Qing Yuzi cannot be lost until it is fully exploited.

"You Bo, what's the situation now? Has he been frightened away by your destiny-prediction technique?"

Half a day later, Divine General Qiongyu.

"No," the Fate Master shook his head. "However, we discovered that Qing Yuzi has three hideouts in the Storm Sea."

"Each hideout is protected by Time Law, formations, and artifacts."

"They are not close to each other. According to my estimation, if he completes the Teleportation Array inside, he is very likely to escape. There is only one point where he is actually present."

"A deliberate feint to force us to divide our forces?" Divine General Qiongyu sneered. "You little devil, you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, but none of them make any sense."

Divine General Qiongyu has enough manpower; if he were to divide the hideouts into three hundred locations, he would have some worries.

But if it's only three places, it's not very meaningful.

Storm Sea is not a long-established stronghold or a temporary hideout, and it cannot be used to delay for too long.

No matter how you look at it, Qing Yuzi has no chance of escaping his grasp.

On the very first day after receiving Crisis Intelligence, before even meeting the person in question, the contest had already begun.

On the first day, Zhao Xing watched as Lao Qing blatantly lied. He clearly recognized the Seven Regions Priest and secretly instructed himself to deal with him first, but he deliberately "talked around" and belittled the Priest's existence.

At the same time, he said that the main targets to be wary of were the two Shennong God and the four warriors, but in reality, the main target of their discussion was Pupil Abyss.

The actual competition began the next day.

Qing Yuzi dug out land from the Grand View Realm and built three hideouts, densely setting up arrays.

The storms in the Storm Sea are mobile, and the source of the wind wreaks havoc, so the hideout that Lao Qing built is also mobile, in order to buy time.

"Borrowing the momentum of heaven and wielding the power of heaven, the storm disaster in the Storm Sea is seen by the Minister of Agriculture of the Heavenly Timing Faction as momentum and power."

"The two agricultural officials from the Heavenly Timing Sect dispatched by General Qiongyu are also controlling the wind disaster."

"You can imagine that I and Qiong Yu's group were standing on the same blanket, except that they were chasing and I was running."

"Now these two Agricultural Official pull the blankets back, causing the source of the Storm Sea's winds to gather towards them."

"If they gain the upper hand, they'll save time finding me; if I gain the upper hand, I can buy myself more time." Qing Yuzi taught Zhao Xing while casting her spell.

Zhao Xing guessed that Lao Qing would show off more, because gods of the Time Faction are rare, so naturally he would show them off more.

Moreover, the Qing Yuzi did indeed have the "upper hand".

Originally, the battle was supposed to begin in three days, but he managed to delay it by an extra Heavenly Timing.

In this way, with seven days to set up the formation, if they can gain another three days, they will be able to successfully escape and leave the dangerous world of the Zhenyi Great World.

The fourth day has ended.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The two fake hideouts were easily breached by the Divine Beast Abyssal Pupil brought by Divine General Qiongyu.

A large amount of soil, spiritual energy, array materials, as well as more than a dozen Divine Power Tower and the Yin-Yang Star exploded out.

Although it was a fake den, Qing Yuzi put in real effort because a fake can become real at any time.

When buying materials for the World Array, he bought three sets and set them up simultaneously, just to see which one could hide the longest.

Because the ultimate key to the Magic Array lies in the World Heart on the pendant, which drives it.

Divine General Qiongyu did not divide his forces, so by the time he finished destroying the two fake dens, it was already the fifth day.

On the sixth day, the Fate Master "You Bo" next to the Divine General Qiongyu suddenly received a bad omen.

He immediately sent a telepathic message to Divine General Qiongyu: "Young Master, the situation has changed. My predictions have included Great Misfortune at the hour level. Although it is not consecutive, it is not a good sign."

"What do you mean? Does Qing Yuzi possess the power to resist us?" Divine General Qiongyu frowned.

It is speculated that Qing Yuzi was only at the Late Divine General Stage, and he only had one attendant of the Divine Soldier Level.

He did not underestimate Qing Yuzi. Pupil Abyss could suppress the void hundreds of feet high, which meant he had already anticipated that Qing Yuzi possessed a powerful escape artifact.

The existence of the Nightspirit Priest is to prevent things from going wrong unexpectedly, and to prevent Qing Yuzi from having a one-time consumable item like a divine artifact with the God King.

"We've calculated this repeatedly during his journey to the Burial God Cave," Divine General Qiongyu, somewhat displeased. "Now you're telling me that capturing a Qing Yuzi might lead to disaster?"

"Yes." Although the words were harsh, Fate Master You Bo remained steadfast in his duty. "I suggest abandoning this operation."

Qiong Yu's face immediately turned extremely ugly. Although he was the eldest grandson and had a prominent status, he was still a very important person.

However, his father was still alive and was performing exceptionally well, so it was impossible for Heaven Divine King Xi to delegate power to his grandson over the sake of his outstanding son.

Moreover, there is more than one legitimate grandson, and Qiong Yu has an older brother above her, so the power and resources she can allocate are not that great.

He had fought hard for an opportunity to unite all the gods in this operation.

Are we giving up halfway through?

He asked reluctantly, "You Bo, I know your divination style is known for its caution; you don't recommend taking action unless there's an 80% chance of success."

"Just tell me, how confident are you now?"

You Bo held out one hand. "Sixty percent."

Divine General Qiongyu was somewhat stunned. He had mobilized so many people to capture Qing Yuzi, but when it came to the final moment, the situation was only 60/40.

"Wealth doesn't compete with power. Young master, you are of noble status, there's no need for you to gamble." In the eyes of the Fate Master You Bo, even a 60% chance of success is considered gambling.

However, in Xitian Divine King City, the Fate Master only provides suggestions; whether or not they are adopted depends on Divine General Qiongyu, since he is the one who issues the orders.

After some deliberation, Divine General Qiongyu said in a deep voice, "You Bo, I have decided to continue our operation."

"From now on, you don't need to worry about anything else. You just need to calculate for me where the missing 30% is located."

"Yes."

The time has come to the seventh day, at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM).

"Zhao Xing, it's your turn!"

Qing Yuzi sat in the center of the Magic Array, rubbing a pale blue ball of light in his hand, his body appearing as a double image.

"They will catch up by Yin Hour at the latest."

"We absolutely must not let them enter the small world."

Zhao Xing, who had been resting with his eyes closed to adjust his state, opened them, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Understood."

Even without observing through the mirror, Zhao Xing could vaguely sense in his mind that Qiong Yu's chariots and warships were traveling through the wind tunnel outside the 30,000 World Yuan Unit.

Zhao Xing appeared at the edge of the small world in a flash.

On the rocky outcrop, a strong wind howled, and the robes of the Space-Time Guyu Dharma Robe Master fluttered in the wind.

One shadow after another emerged from beneath Zhao Xing's feet, Savage Growth like seedlings, eventually coalescing into a towering tree.

"The True Self Divine Method, the Cangwu World Method"

It slowly extended beyond the small world, spreading across the surface of the Wind River.

It looks like a large tree lying across a river in the Wind River.

Then the shadow spreads and lengthens, expanding the area of control over the Internal World.

Large amounts of soil have surfaced in the Wind River, making it appear as if a real river has appeared there.

Meanwhile, Plant Soldier continue to emerge, but their highest Legendary Grade.

"One Realm Divine Essence, Void Divine Seed!"

The spells of the True Self Faction caused these troops to undergo a crazy transformation, leaping to the level of gods.

Their lifespans have all been shortened to about seven days. This is the price of forcibly breaking the shackles of life. The Shenhua Method and the Variant Method have burned away all their potential.

These Original Seed, born within the Internal World, number over three hundred at this moment, have all briefly reached the divine level, which is also the limit of Zhao Xing's abilities.

However, these were all just a facade, and were nothing to fear from Divine General Qiongyu's team.

Zhao Xing expended his strength to mutate the plant simply to conceal the four Firecracker Bamboo hidden among the more than three hundred soldiers.

"Of the four Firecracker Bamboo, one is rooted in the Wind River, and the other three are hidden within the Cangwu World Method."

Zhao Xing then held the Dan Shu in his hand. If the Firecracker Bamboo still couldn't repel the enemy, then the Dan Shu would be his last resort.

As time passed, Zhao Xing, having finished arranging everything, stood quietly on the outskirts of the small world.

When the seventh day arrived at Rat Hour, the Divine General Qiongyu finally caught up.

A ship with 850 Divine Soldier on board, and a Yuan Tong at the stern, with four divine guards standing beside it.

Behind Abyssal Pupil was a hundred-armored chariot, on which stood Divine General Qiongyu and some other Divine General.

"Hmm? Has Qing Yuzi gone mad? He actually left a Late Divine Soldier to guard outside. What's the difference between that and sending him to his death?" Fate Master You Bo frowned and began to calculate.

However, Divine General Qiongyu had no intention of waiting for his advice and immediately ordered 850 Divine Soldier to attack, intending to break through Qing Yuzi's small world in one fell swoop.

Now, Divine General Qiongyu knows that if they delay for even a second longer, Qing Yuzi could very well escape through the teleportation array.

The world teleportation array is something even Abyssal Pupil cannot stop.

"Kill!"

Eight hundred and fifty Divine Soldier jumped off the divine ship, all wearing Fire-Origin Divine Armor and wielding Blazing Flame Divine Spear.

They were all Free God who had cultivated the Fire Origin. In the Storm Sea, the essence of wind fueled the Fire Origin, and the endless flames suddenly surged. The eight hundred and fifty Divine Soldier, like a divine dragon composed of flames, instantly swept across tens of thousands of World Yuan Unit.

They rushed towards Zhao Xing.

Eight hundred and fifty Divine Soldier immediately deployed their Flame Divine Domains. Their divine domains intertwined, clearly indicating that they had been trained with some kind of combined attack Magic Array.

Those of the same level would normally disdain using divine domains in battle, since divine domains at the Divine Soldier Level, unless they are spacetime or causal divine domains, are all roughly equal in rank to the original divine domains of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder.

Free God facing True God, the self-existent god has no advantage in this regard, so in general confrontations, the divine domain is never used.

However, the divine domain composed of 850 Divine Soldier is already comparable to the divine domain cast by Divine General.

Facing the more than three hundred divine trees blocking the outside of the small world and Zhao Xing, who Late Divine Soldier, they can be used to bully them.

After all, Plant Soldier are usually made of wood, which is countered by fire. In order to win the battle quickly, the 850 Divine Soldier completely pushed the divine domain combination to its limit.

"Alas, from afar, this stream of flames resembles a fire dragon on the outside, while inside it is a huge spear."

The divine realm, combining strength and gentleness, instantly ignited divine fire, causing the temporary, mutated plants that had been set up along the way to wither and turn to ashes one by one.

In such a situation, let alone a Late Divine Soldier, even a Divine General wouldn't dare to take it head-on.

However, Zhao Xing did not back down.

"At this moment, those Divine General Level in Qiong Yu are still on the verge of the Firecracker Bamboo's power. We must let them go a little deeper before detonating it."

"Nine Marsh God, transform!"

The world of roaring flames was instantly torn apart, revealing a figure with purple hair but a silver, metallic-looking body and eyes that spit fire. A giant hand, as imposing as a mountain, stood across the space, its palm swirling with black light and completely blocking the small world behind it.

"Nine Marsh God?!" Both the Fierce Wind Divine General and the Blood Rain Divine General looked at the enormous Nine Marsh God in the distance with some surprise. As Time Faction, Hou Bian Method was their specialty, so they naturally understood that this was a human transformed into a human.

"With such powerful Hou Bian Method, could it be another Celestial Timing Shennong God?"

"That shouldn't be the case. We both specifically requested the Divine King Gu Xiao from the Earth God Venerable to obtain the opportunity to become the Celestial Timing Shennong God."

"There aren't that many Time God in this era."

"This Nine Marsh God's aura is so strong, it has reached the Mid Divine General. Oh, I see, so he used a divine artifact."

Both the Fierce Wind Divine General and the Blood Rain Divine General could see that there were nine needles inserted into the body of this Nine Marsh God, forming the main spine.

This is why the Nine Marsh God's appearance is closer to human form than beast form.

"I didn't expect Qing Yuzi to have such a guard, but he'll still die!" Divine General Qiongyu looked on coldly.

Eight hundred and fifty Divine Soldier —the elite troops trained by their Xitian Divine King City. These Free God, from the moment they became gods...

They are all formed from the same source.

With shared understanding, common origins, and the same secret techniques, their combat power is absolutely astonishing.

"BOOM!!!"

Like a giant hand sweeping across, the black vortex in its palm constantly exerted a pulling force, tearing at the Fire Source Divine Realm.

The Cangwu World Method also assisted at this moment, causing the Flame God Domain to shrink smaller and smaller, its outer parts to be torn to shreds.

No matter how much the flames escalated, the World Projection and the giant hand of the Nine Marsh God were always able to block them.

They clashed and ended up in a stalemate!

"Huh? This isn't the divine realm of the Nine Marsh God, but a kind of World Method!" Blood Rain Divine General and Fierce Wind Divine General were somewhat shocked.

"How can someone cultivate to the Divine General Level using the Hou Bian Method, while also possessing such powerful World Method? Is his Internal World also at the god level?"

They realized they had misjudged the other party's background. When they first saw the Nine Marsh God, they thought he was from the Time Faction, since having the Time God Power would make cultivating Hou Bian Method twice as effective, otherwise it would be twice as ineffective.

However, after seeing the other party's World Method, he changed his mind. The strength of the World Method depends on the size of the Internal World.

If the other party is not the Shennong God of the True Self Faction, but only cultivates World Method, how could he be so strong?

"Roar!"

The Nine Marsh God roared continuously, and the flames did indeed cause Zhao Xing excruciating pain, but this also aroused his ferocity.

"I Ascetic Practice for many years, and even the Xufeng Divine General was defeated by me. How come these small fry can't be defeated by me in one blow?" Zhao Xing was also shocked by the quality of the Divine Soldier of Xitian Divine King City.

In his view, even a large Divine Soldier Level would still be a rabble.

After all, he had already defeated Xufeng Divine General in Divine Mechanism City.

"I have been studying the balance of the Three Shennong Factions, and now I can use the World Method and even the Earthly Advantage Method law at the same time while performing the Nine Marsh Transformation."

"Does fighting some Free God mean we have to use our full strength?"

Zhao Xing could still use Mountain Art and Earth Palace Art at this time, but this would make it easy for him to be exposed.

Similarly, after two collisions, they were locked in a stalemate, leaving even the Martial God General, who commanded 850 Divine Soldier, somewhat shocked.

"A single Divine Soldier Level, after Hou Transformation, managed to withstand the combined attack of my 850 Fire Source Gods?"

"Burn your divine power! This is your first time serving His Highness. You must win, not lose!" The Martial God General Telepathic Transmission.

In reality, the only people directly under the command of Divine General Qiongyu were Xitian Divine King City and these 850 Divine Soldier; the rest were just there to assist.

The only ones who truly Divine General Qiongyu were him and the 850 Divine Soldier.

This is their first time fighting against Qiong Yu, the young master. They can't afford to lose face on their first battle.

"Kill!" The eight hundred and fifty Divine Soldier in battle formation went completely mad and began to burn their divine power.

"Die!"

On Zhao Xing's arm, innate runes flowed, and he unleashed a barrage of Innate Divine Skill, including the Short Void Claw, the Myriad Tribulation Golden Marrow, and the World-Burning Eye.

Eight hundred and fifty Divine Soldier continuously burned their divine blood, causing Zhao Xing's Nine Marsh God Body to fly with its hair and flesh.

With a swing of the Void Breaking Claw, the armor on the 850 Free God shattered, and fragments of armor flew everywhere.

Both sides were fighting desperately, but even with their divine power burning, they still couldn't overcome the obstacle of the Nine Marsh God.

Eight hundred and fifty Divine Soldier were firmly blocked outside the small world at a distance of fifteen thousand World Yuan Unit.

"Your Highness, let us make our move," said the Divine Fierce Wind Divine General Blood Rain Divine General.

They initially disdained to attack a mere Late Divine Soldier, but as time passed, the possibility of Qing Yuzi escaping increased, and besides, the Nine Marsh God before them had piqued their interest.

"Withdraw!"

The 850 Divine Soldier immediately turned around and retreated back to the divine ship.

Zhao Xing also took the opportunity to retreat.

He retreated not because he was afraid, but because he wanted Qiong Yu's team to get closer.

"Oh, this beast can even tell the difference between power and danger." Seeing Zhao Xing retreat, the Fierce Wind Divine General assumed it was due to his and Xue Yu's intimidation. Zhao Xing completely ignored the provocation, transformed back into human form, and continued to crush the token.

"Buzz"

Eighteen Solar Yang floated out from inside the small world.

Upon closer inspection, all eighteen Solar Yang were found to be imprisoned inside a lantern.

"The Aurora Origin?"

"It's the Heavenly Origin Ten-Cold Formation!"

Both the Fierce Wind Divine General and the Blood Rain Divine General stopped, because the space-time in front of them had already entered a season and had become extremely cold.

The primordial energy within his body became stagnant, and the Heavenly Time Formation countered the Heavenly Time Sect's Minister of Agriculture.

They are not so easy to get through.

As soon as Blood Rain and Fierce Wind Divine General approached, Zhao Xing attacked; if they didn't get close, he couldn't Destruction the Heavenly Origin Ten-Cold Formation.

"Qing Yuzi is only ranked around 300th on the New God Ranking, yet he's incredibly wealthy. Who wouldn't use this kind of Magic Array in their own territory?"

He actually carried it with him at all times.

"Your Highness, this is a life-saving formation that Qing Yuzi bought. Only Tong Yuan can break it in the short term," Blood Rain Divine General and Fierce Wind Divine General reported to Divine General Qiongyu.

Just as Qiong Yu was about to give orders, Fate Master You Bo transmitted his voice, "Your Highness, please untie the chariot's lasso and let Yuan Tong and the Four Divine Guards go."

"What do you want to say?" Qiong Yu asked, frowning.

"I always felt that the servant next to Qing Yuzi was not simple, as if he had a great background, but I couldn't find out his origins or figure out who he was."

"You Bo, it's already this late, and you're still making me wait?" Divine General Qiongyu said, "You also said that we can only capture Qing Yuzi within seven days. He has bought countless defensive treasures. We must take him down in one fell swoop now. If we wait any longer, he might escape. Wouldn't that be a laughing stock?"

Divination by Fate Master has always been a reference for war, not a decisive factor.

Seeing You Bo Qiong Yu was determined to go all in, Uncle You had no choice but to continue consulting the astrologer, hoping to quickly arrive at the answer that was on the tip of his tongue.

"All the main gods, mobilize! Take him down in one fell swoop!"

Divine General Qiongyu, led the charge, driving his chariot forward.

The distance of 30,000 World Yuan Unit was quickly halved.

At this moment, You Bo's heart suddenly started pounding violently, his eyelids twitched, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He suffered a severe backlash, coughing up blood with a splatter, his spirit turning black, and his eyes becoming lifeless.

He still forced himself to look at the bloodstains on the ground, and saw that the bloodstains seemed to have formed two words, which clearly read Zhao Xing.

A faint red glow emanated from the dark, murky bloodstains, and within that glow, there seemed to be Gao Shan formed by a cluster of clocks.

At the very top of the Gao Shan stands a strangely shaped standing clock.

"Tick-tock"

You Bo heard such a sound.

And then, that was it.

His divine essence began to be annihilated by the backlash.

In the final moment, he saw something shatter, all the wind stopped, and a fiery red and gold light simultaneously illuminated the space inside the cabin.

"What's going on? The Fire Source Divine Soldier has intervened again—the golden one must be the Seven Regions Priest' doing. Sigh, I should have run away—" These were You Bo's last thoughts.

As Qiong Yu approached, Zhao Xing did not hesitate to set off the Firecracker Bamboo left behind by the Penglai Divine General.

In the ruins of the sacred tree that had been burned to ashes, a black bamboo, seemingly ethereal, quietly appeared.

The Firecracker Bamboo, turning a deep reddish-black, signify that their Fire Origin has been condensed to its extreme. At the same time, they have been imbued with a dark essence by the Penglai Divine General, concealing their Divine Movement —another form of Divine Concealment of plant life.

Firecracker Bamboo have nine segments, and when each segment breaks, it's as if even space itself is shattered.

The abyss child, who suppressed the void hundreds of feet high, had its thousand feet shattered due to the explosion of the void, starting from the bottom foothold and continuing all the way up to the torso.

Before the piercing screams could even begin, they were swept away by the second wave of spacetime explosion.

Everyone was too terrified to react.

After the nine-section Firecracker Bamboo exploded, the area of the Storm Sea, World Yuan Unit, was completely cleared, replaced by a deep darkness.

An even larger spacetime explosion was spreading outwards, and Zhao Xing dared not detonate a second one.

He discovered that although he had used a directional blast, his side still generated a strong echo.

Zhao Xing always thought that the Penglai Divine General himself up was a deliberate test, or an exaggeration.

He doesn't think so now.

He transformed back into his Nine Marsh God form and took out divine artifacts such as the Golden Wheel and the Golden Jade Divine Water for defense.

The aftershocks of the explosion broke through more than a dozen defenses and even Destruction the Heavenly Origin Ten-Cold Formation, but still managed to destroy its Nine Marsh God's body, leaving only its skeleton.

Even the skeleton is still burning!

"Zhao Xing, what's wrong with you? If you couldn't stop it, you should have said so beforehand—ouch!"

As Qing Yuzi emerged from the violently shaking little world, she saw burning skeletons and a scene of apocalyptic destruction.

"Heavenly Sweet Rain, Benevolent Water Rebirth!"

"Disease!"

Qing Yuzi waved his sleeve, and the cloud and rain patterns on his sleeve shimmered, quickly enveloping Zhao Xing.

"Hiss hiss"

The heat was intense, yet the skeleton continued to burn.

"My God, it can't be put out?"

"What kind of fire is this?"

The Qing Yuzi intensified their efforts, and the sweet rain, as if it were free, transformed into a torrent.

Finally, he managed to rescue the skeleton of the Nine Marsh God.

It's burning hot.

"If you're like this, then what about Qiong Yu and the others—well? Are there still any alive?"

Qing Yuzi immediately scanned the area ahead.

Amidst the Sacrificial Explosion debris in the distance, a chariot gleamed, and a majestic golden figure protected it.

It was cut by countless spatial fragments mixed with destruction and flames, yet it remained unaffected.

"The Seven Regions Priest borrowed the divine power of a God King, and there are still four survivors on that chariot."

"No, we have to run!"

Upon seeing this, Qing Yuzi immediately abandoned his plan to finish off the enemy.

He immediately led Zhao Xing into the crumbling little world.

His body transformed into a series of afterimages, quickly activating the Magic Array, and finally placing the pendant within it.

"I don't know if the forced expulsion method can directly reach the body; getting out of there is the priority now."

"Zhao Xing, you'd better not play with Firecracker Bamboo anymore. That Penglai Divine General a monster—I told you that being able to cultivate Firecracker Bamboo to god-level isn't so fun."

As he chanted, bursts of blue light emanated from the ground around Qing Yuzi, swirling around him and a skeleton like fireflies before quickly disappearing from the spot.

"Bang!"

The small world could no longer hold on and was destroyed by the aftershocks of the continuous impact.

When Zhao Xing woke up again, he felt only one word: pain!

He recalled the moment the Firecracker Bamboo exploded; his first sensation was heat, after which all his primal senses diminished to a minimum.

Only fire, chaotic spacetime, and destruction!

When the explosion caused the destruction of spacetime, Zhao Xing knew he was in trouble and immediately put away the World Projection to prevent the remaining Firecracker Bamboo from exploding as well.

He then quickly took out his divine artifacts to resist, but after seven or eight artifacts collapsed, he had no choice but to use the divine body of the Nine Marsh God to defend himself.

"You're awake?" Qing Yuzi walked over carrying a jar.

Zhao Xing looked up and saw that he was lying in an ice coffin, surrounded by bottles and jars, and smelled a lot of medicine.

"Where am I?"

"Inside the black ring," Qing Yuzi said. "As for the larger place, I don't know where it is, but we should have arrived at our destination. Look."

"Hmm?" Zhao Xing saw Qing Yuzi summon a Water Screen, and in the distant starry sky, there lay a huge corpse, almost enough to fill the First Xu Zu Star System of the Origin Heavenly Palace.

"The original plan was to teleport directly into the body of Divine King Yu Heng, but there was a slight deviation," Qing Yuzi said. "At that time, I saw that someone was still alive, so I didn't care about anything else."

"There are still people who can survive?" Zhao Xing's eyes widened. He hadn't even taken the main force of the Firecracker Bamboo, and he was already injured like this.

"What's so strange about that? The Seven Regions Priest next to Qiong Yu was able to borrow the God King, so it's normal that he survived. But the others weren't so lucky. Anyway, when I came out, I only saw four still alive."

"The Penglai Divine General is fucking freakish." Qing Yuzi tossed a towel aside and said with some emotion, "This Firecracker Bamboo is the most powerful one I've ever seen."

"The Earth Treasury Divine King of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity actually managed to cultivate such a disciple—I always thought the Earth Treasury Art was just an auxiliary method for farming, I never imagined it would be so powerful."

"I didn't expect this either." Zhao Xing smiled bitterly. He was still unable to move and didn't know how serious his injuries were.

After looking at the panel, he was shocked to find that his 100,000-year lifespan had disappeared, his True Spirit and Holy Body were both damaged and seriously injured, and his Luck had temporarily dropped to the twentieth level.

"Don't get up. It will take you another hundred or two hundred years to make up for it." Qing Yuzi said, opening the ice coffin, draining the old medicinal liquid, and pouring in new medicinal liquid.

Zhao Xing felt itchy all over his body, and granulation tissue was constantly growing into nodules.

"Lying here like this isn't a good idea. Can we send messages from here?"

We must let the Immeasurable True God know that we are safe.

"Alright." Qing Yuzi waved her hand, and a jade plate appeared on the ice coffin. "We're both celebrities now, and the Shadow Sanctum has raised our rankings several notches. As for the bounties—take your time to look at them, but don't play around for too long."

"Get well soon, I'm waiting for you to explore the Internal World of Divine King Yu Heng together."
