The successive deaths of Tang Huai, Ding Wanshan, and Xu Baorui made the spirit of the Chief God of Inspection look extremely grim.
The deaths of these three were not particularly of concern to the Chief God of Inspection.
What he cared about was why someone had died right under his nose without leaving a trace.
The three great Heavenly God of the Divine Realm, followed by the Twelve Chief Gods.
As a Chief God second only to the emperor, how could the Chief God of Inspection be unable to protect even such a junior, or even find his whereabouts?
If word gets out, not to mention what people will say about him, he'll be embarrassed even from a distance!
This is not the primary task of Chief God of Inspection.
The instructions given to him by Xuan Heavenly God were to, while monitoring him, bring Zhongsheng into as much trouble as possible, putting him in a life-or-death situation.
Thinking about this...
The Chief God of Inspection turned its gaze back to Zhongsheng.
Under Jiang Yiyu's protection, Zhongsheng didn't have to make a move; he just had to follow Jiang Yiyu.
Under these circumstances, even if Zhongsheng has hidden strength, he wouldn't need to make a move at all.
Therefore, it would be best to create a crisis that even Jiang Yiyu would find difficult to handle.
Although the Chief God of Inspection is currently only monitoring a spirit here, it would still be easy for him to cause them some trouble.
A scroll of array formations appeared in the hands of the Chief God of Inspection.
Once unfolded, in front of the Chief God of Inspection, a long spear powerful enough to pierce through heaven and earth materialized!
As the spear gradually materialized, an overwhelming aura of destruction, centered on the spear tip, slowly coiled around the spear shaft like two serpents!
It was merely a fleeting moment of condensation.
Lu Changsheng, who was following Jiang Yiyu, frowned imperceptibly.
At this point, Lu Changsheng was certain of the other party's purpose and Xuan Heavenly God's intentions.
This is an attempt to test him.
No wonder the task assigned was completely beyond Zhongsheng's abilities and qualifications; no wonder Zhongsheng wasn't even given the most basic survival items when the task was assigned.
Logically speaking, even when assigning such an extremely dangerous mission that exceeds one's capabilities, a master would provide life-saving items, or follow behind in the shadows to exploit potential and intervene when one's life is in danger.
Neither of these two scenarios applies.
That leaves only one possibility.
The other party doesn't trust Lu Changsheng and wants to use this opportunity to test him.
However, Lu Changsheng had anticipated this.
How could someone who has ascended to the position of Heavenly God be so simple-minded?
Lu Changsheng was also prepared.
Wasn't the intention to test his strength?
They simply wanted to see if he would reveal his true strength when facing a life-or-death situation. If he didn't, then naturally there would be no more doubts.
However... if Lu Changsheng is wrong, and the other party really wants to kill him, it doesn't matter, since he's prepared in advance anyway.
How could someone as cautious as Lu Changsheng not consider the worst-case scenario?
Just then...
The Chief God of Inspection, hidden in the space, pushed his hand towards Jiang Yiyu Lu Changsheng.
The spear, powerful enough to pierce the heavens and earth, swept across and appeared in front of Jiang Yiyu and Lu Changsheng, giving them no chance to react before piercing towards Lu Changsheng!
Jiang Yiyu looked up abruptly, her pupils contracting sharply when she saw the long spear.
The target was clearly Zhongsheng.
Jiang Yiyu gritted her teeth and flashed in front of Lu Changsheng, watching the long spear come hurtling towards her.
A red ribbon was flung out.
The red ribbon fluttered, and an aura filled with the essence of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth floated above it, coiling towards the spear!
This is her strongest tactic right now.
It was also a protective item crafted for her by the Xuan Heavenly God, containing a wisp of power personally infused by the Xuan Heavenly God.
The power of this spear, the destructive aura it carried, was something Jiang Yiyu knew the instant she sensed it was beyond her ability to withstand; only this object could possibly resist it.
However... why would such a high-level killing formation appear in the Land of Divine Rupture?
This destructive power has already surpassed the power of Ancient Sword Formation today!
There was no time to think.
Jiang Yiyu's red ribbons were already wrapping around the spear in strands, trying to completely block it.
Right under Jiang Yiyu's tense gaze.
The long spear was completely covered in red silk.
The speed at which the spear pierced through was gradually slowing down.
Just as Jiang Yiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
To their horror, they discovered that the red ribbon that had been wrapped around the spear had instantly detached itself.
The spear regained its speed and pierced through Zhongsheng!
Jiang Yiyu was ashen.
If even Hong Ling can't be relied upon for this level of attack, then there's absolutely no way to defend against it.
The spear pierced through.
There was absolutely no chance of either of them surviving!
At this moment.
Jiang Yiyu felt a powerful force pushing against her.
Before they could react, they were sent flying to the other side, landing in a different spot.
They could only watch helplessly as Zhongsheng faced the devastating spear alone.
Lu Changsheng raised his head, his face full of "horror" as he watched the spear approach, but in his heart he understood perfectly.
The red ribbon was originally meant to block the spear's attack, but it was crafted by Xuan Tian Shen, the number one weapon refiner in the Xuan Heavenly God Divine Realm.
This probing was initiated by Xuan Heavenly God.
They would certainly not allow Jiang Yiyu to defend against the attack originally intended for Lu Changsheng.
Presumably, Jiang Yiyu was suddenly thrown back because the Chief God of Inspection intervened.
He saw the long spear coming towards him.
Lu Changsheng wore a look of "despair" on his face, but his heart remained unusually calm.
He couldn't use his original methods to easily deflect the spear.
We can't just stand there like a block of wood, motionless.
Those observing from the shadows would then conclude that someone who doesn't even dare to fight to the death lacks inner strength.
All that's needed is to use Zhongsheng's full strength, which he currently possesses, for defense.
Thinking about this...
Lu Changsheng gritted his teeth, roared, and drew circles with his hands, creating a barrier that condensed his... Fifth-Level Lightning Tribulation realm before him.
Seeing this scene...
Jiang Yiyu was already in despair; she knew she couldn't get there in time, and even if she did, she wouldn't be able to stop them.
Not to mention the barrier that Zhongsheng released...
It was as fragile as paper before the spear, pierced through in an instant.
The Chief God of Inspection stared intently at this scene.
However, as the spear pierced the barrier, Zhongsheng coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered backward, throwing out various Law Treasure in an attempt to block the spear.
However, these Law Treasure were too low-level to offer any resistance whatsoever.
Just as it was about to penetrate Lu Changsheng.
Just as the spear tip was about to touch Lu Changsheng's brow.
The spear came to an abrupt stop.
A floating, condensed cloud of energy blocked the tip of the spear.
The voice of the Xuan Heavenly God rang out from the sky.
"Alright, that's enough."
