Divine Brilliance - Chapter 732
Chapter 732: Intercepting Enemy Underground
The so called “Three Qing” referred to the three highest status Protector Gods of the Taoist Faction.
They defended the Taoist Faction and didn’t have a mind of their own so naturally there weren’t any conflicts.
However the people under them were different. The Taoist Faction has a billion disciples each with their own thoughts and interests as well as demands. Thus there were these three factions, Vast Habitat and two sects which each grasped its own Protector God Spirits.
Actually what Zong Shou cared most about was the technique to form the God Spirit.
Unfortunately this Mingsheng Temple Sect Leader knew nothing about it. The Tailing Xuan Lord that was worshipped here was sent over by Daoling Vast Habitat and formed it for them. Mingsheng Temple didn’t interfere and thus didn’t know anything about the mysteries within.
He couldn’t help but feel a little dejected. If he could get more God Power, the strength of his body would be able to improve before he faces his tribulation.
The stronger the foundations are, naturally the wider and further the path he would be able to cross in the future.
However looking at the situation, it seems close to impossible for him to kill similar God Spirits.
Following which he had a thought. Those other sects didn’t have anything. Then would he gain anything from those temples under Daoling Vast Habitat?
Thinking about it for a moment, Zong Shou suppressed such a thought and checked his body.
The God Power that he swallowed before was already activating. With seconds as a unit of time, it strengthened his body right away.
In a short few hours it could compare to the few months of hard work which he trained using the iron sand!
If this goes on, in just half a month of time his body could be totally unharmed when facing a Grade-9 Spiritual Weapon, full completion.
With that thought, he craved those Protector Gods.
Coincidentally at that moment the big cocoon broke apart.
Zong Shou turned his head around to see those twelve silver flying ants break out of their cocoons.
There wasn’t an increase in number this time. However those blades and armor became much stronger. The Silver White Saint Fire Ant circling them also became stronger.
He couldn’t see their movement speed but naturally it wouldn’t be weaker.
Lastly it was Hanxi. Apart from the silver white body, there were threads of patterns appearing on the armor. They looked like runes and spiritual formations. They were exquisite and exceptionally beautiful.
Its head was looking more and more like a human, the six wings becoming wider and wider.
Zong Shou’s pupils constricted. He thought that out of his protector beasts the ones with the highest potential were Xiaori and Little Gold.
However it seems like Hanxi’s future growth wouldn’t be lower than the other two.
Just these twelve Saint Fire Silver Ants let him obtained twelve Spirit Realm fighting helpers.
If he had another battle like that of Yugang Mountain, he wouldn’t need to make so many arrangements and could have just directly attacked.
In terms of talents, the Lightning Winged Dragon was the weakest.
After Hanxi kept those silver threads, it was still feeling really excited.
Charging into the sky, its six pairs of wings flapping, increasing its movement speed to the extreme like a silver glow was flashing about.
After it vented its happiness it finally charged down and returned back into Zong Shou’s sleeves along with the twelve ants.
Zong Shou was slightly shocked. This Hanxi was evidently much quicker. At full speed, it was five percent faster than before at Yugang Mountain.
If it wasn’t him and a normal Grade-9, or maybe slightly weaker Spirit Realm experts, they wouldn’t be able to see its body clearly.
Even if they could, amongst Spirit Realm cultivators, very few people would be able to react at such a speed.
“So this is a Natural Variant?”
Slightly distracted, Zong Shou laughed without much care. He naturally hoped that Hanxi’s strength would be stronger.
Any Natural Variant was born from the violence and grievance from Heaven and Earth. It could harm its master at any moment. However, he had enough confidence that no matter how strong Hanxi was he would be able to suppress it.
As a swordsman why would he be afraid of his own protector beast?
He turned around, raising his head and looking into the sky.
“…They should return soon! Zigui, ah…”
He muttered, his voice filled with coldness and darkness, killing intent hiding within.
He remembered in the message talismans that Gantian Mountain sent him every day, it mentioned this person several times.
If Wu Xu was the brains behind the plan, then Zigui was the arm. The other Spirit Realm and Grade-9 experts were the fingers.
This person was like Wu Xu, someone he had to kill!
Raising his hand, the Royal Demon God Shuttle suddenly appeared beside him.
Zong Shou turned into light and entered, driving the shuttle and charging into the air.
Zong Shou stopped heading west but he charged east. In just a few hours he was above the Cloud Ocean in the east.
He continued ten thousand miles to the east. The moment Zong Shou exited the flying shuttle, he stood in the middle of the air.
He spread out his spiritual sense, the Illusionary Heart Mirror also rose into the air. Six actual three illusionary, nine foxtails all appearing.
Using the Nine Tail Sky Fox’s ability to sense spiritual energy, he scanned the thousands of miles of the region all around.
In a short moment Zong Shou frowned. Surprise appeared in his eyes.
It wasn’t like he didn’t notice the traces of the Daoling Vast Habitat cultivators. Within his rage there was a bunch of people moving in the void. Two thousand miles away there was one Spirit Realm and three Grade-9.
Seemingly sensing his spiritual sense, they turned around and swiftly escaped towards the east.
“Splitting up?”
Zong Shou thought about it and knew the meaning. That Zigui was also quite intelligent.
This was the most problematic scenario. If he chased he would miss out others.
If he didn’t he might not be able to obtain anything.
Scoffing coldly, Zong Shou waved his sleeves. Four streaks of silver light flew out.
It broke through space, Time Knife was thousands of miles away in a blink of an eye.
With a flash of a knife, the heads of the four were cut open. Following which their souls were instantly blown to shreds.
However looking at the situation, there was no joy on Zong Shou’s face at all.
Three Grade-9 cultivators. Naturally he didn’t need to use the Six God Defensive Knife, the normal Cloud Flame Flying Knives did the trick.
However it couldn’t work for the Spirit Realm cultivator as his strength was much stronger. To kill him from several thousand miles out, he had to use the technique.
However at this moment he only had twelve flying knives that were nurtured to be mentally connected to him.
The Spacetime Technique would suck his soul power dry. However there was no soul power he could absorb nearby.
If this went on, he could at most leave one to two groups of people here in the Cloud Ocean.
Not to mention searching for the tracks of Zigui…
He frowned and was feeling annoyed. Hanxi suddenly moved, a thought also spread into his soul.
“You came?”
Zong Shou was startled and wanted to reject it subconsciously. Following which he felt that it was okay to try it. He released Hanxi out, allowing it to hang in the air.
Following which twelve silver flying ants spread out and swiftly traveled towards the North and South.
The movement speed was extremely quick. In just a blink of an eye, it disappeared.
Roughly an hour later, Hanxi’s body flashed and he was in front of Zong Shou. It used the knife arm to point at the center of his brow.
Zong Shou’s brow rose, his right hand reaching out, using his second finger to dot on its brow.
In an instance huge amount of information surged in.
In just a breath, a blurred image appeared behind Zong Shou’s head.
At the start, he didn’t think much but after looking carefully he was shocked.
It was actually all the energy changes within these four thousand miles of Cloud Ocean as well as spiritual energy changes.
He could even know how many Cloud Whales, Spiritual Vultures, and the thickness of the cloud layer.
The range was still spreading. Those twelve flying ants continued to travel south and north, the range they covered was swiftly expanding.
He was only able to cover a thousand and two hundred miles from the east and west. However this ensured that this piece of Cloud Ocean had no dead ends at all.
Twelve ants, fourteen thousand miles.
At this range, any slight movement wouldn’t be able to escape from his spiritual sense.
Zong Shou’s heart was filled with boy joy and shock. These twelve flying ants actually had such an ability. It was really unexpected.
With this huge net covering ten thousand miles here, it made it more convenient to find Zigui’s traces.
He would be able to use it in many cases in the future.
If it was the army going to war, as long as these twelve were spread out, the ten thousand miles of land would be in his grasps.
His ability to use troops would raise by several levels. Even if he faced a top commander like Kong Yao, he would be able to fight against her.
Retracting his spiritual sense, Zong Shou started to deduce the energy changes within ten thousand miles.
He walked to the south of the Cloud Ocean. In just a moment his eyes lit up, a cold smile appeared on his face.
What a coincidence. Just nice he bumped into these two people. Even if it wasn’t Zigui, it was one of the pillars of the Daoling Vast Habitat.
Since he met them, then how could he allow them to escape? His body flashed as he drove the Royal Demon God Shuttle towards the south. In just a few hours, he was ten thousand miles away.
When he appeared, with just a step he was beneath the Cloud Ocean. He was deep underground within a dark river.
Not far away, there were dozens of people who were hurriedly fleeing using this river.
There were five Spirit Realm and nine Grade-9. Two of them were at the Intermediate Spirit Realm stage, their true qi was abundant and exceptional.
When they saw Zong Shou, the fourteen of them were startled, fear appearing in their eyes.
The one at the helm asked with a hoarse voice, “Is that Blood Sword Monster Lord?”
His voice was filled with despair. They were twenty thousand feet underground. Normally speaking he shouldn’t have been able to notice it.
Zong Shou was slightly shocked, Blood Sword Monster Lord? Was this his new title?
Following which he didn’t care and directly asked, “Who is Zigui?”
No one answered but a few of them couldn’t help but look towards the one at the head.
Zong Shou smiled coldly, a silver and gold light flashed. Where they passed, blood spurted out.
