Chapter 358: 301 Divine Venerable Finger Bone_1
The chilling voice sent shivers down their spines!
Li Cheng stole a glance at Monk Wumo and thought, You said he couldn’t make a move due to some reasons? What a scam!
Whoooosh…
The next moment, a wall of water surged up from the sea below, stretching across the heavens and the earth, blocking Li Cheng and his companion’s path.
The terrifying Divine Power and Water Law that pervaded the water wall made it clear that it wasn’t something the two of them could break through.
The two men hastily stopped in their tracks, staring ahead with a grave expression.
On the water wall appeared the image of a skull, its hollow eye sockets seemingly fixed on the duo with a piercing gaze that made their scalps tingle.
Monk Wumo steadied his spirit and brought his hands together, “Amitabha, a Divine King should not interfere with lower-ranking Demon-suppressing Envoys cutting down demons, as the noble Divine King, you must be aware of this agreement.”
The skull fixed its gaze on Monk Wumo, “This king has sealed fate, even if I kill you, no one will know.”
“Misdeeds, misdeeds, how could the noble Divine King harbor a killing intent towards us lowly cultivators? We carry the Demon Suppression Order, fate might not be so easily sealed!”
Li Cheng was somewhat surprised; the monk seemed composed, but could the Demon Suppression Order really be relied upon?
If the Divine King before them really wanted to make a move, would he care about such things?
Li Cheng was already preparing in secret; should the situation turn dire, he would retreat into the Blunt Empty Residence.
Moreover, the Divine King had not made a move immediately but had instead arrived to block the path in the form of a projection, which likely meant he wouldn’t strike down the two of them.
There must be the two reasons Monk Wumo had mentioned at play here.
With this thought, Li Cheng said, “I was the one who broke the formation, may I ask what the senior wishes for me to leave behind?”
The skull looked towards Li Cheng, “A mere True God can break a level four Divine Array? Then leave behind half your Divine Soul origin!”
Li Cheng’s expression turned stern, “Then there’s nothing to discuss!”
Half of one’s Soul origin, wouldn’t that be enslavement?
“Amitabha, the Donor’s demand is something this poor monk cannot comply with, how about the Donor converts to Buddhism instead?” Monk Wumo said calmly, yet his words were extremely shocking.
To have the Bone Clan Divine King convert to Buddhism?
Such a deep humiliation, wasn’t this just inciting further rage?
“If talks fail, the monk will seek an opportunity to self-destruct, and the Donor should look for a chance to escape,” Monk Wumo communicated through voice transmission.
Li Cheng looked at Monk Wumo, seeing his calm demeanor but eyes filled with determination.
However, his voice transmission was clearly intercepted by the Bone Clan Divine King, who sneered, “Do you think you have the chance to self-destruct in front of this king? Hand over half your Divine Soul origin obediently, otherwise, die!”
Li Cheng had one hand ready on the Ten Thousand Destruction Box and the other on the Blunt Empty Residence, “We admit we’re no match for you, but if you push us too far, be careful not to end up losing more than you bargain for!”
“Oh? Skull King, threatening the people of the Demon-suppressing Department, you wish to die? This Seat will oblige you!”
Just then, a faint voice came from the distant sky.
The next second, the water wall shattered, and an elder appeared a hundred meters away from the two men.
“Department Head!”
Li Cheng and Monk Wumo both heaved a sigh of relief and bowed in unison.
Demon-suppressing Department Head Xiao Changting!
With Xiao Changting’s arrival, the Skull Divine King made no further sound.
Xiao Changting waved his hand, “Carry on with your business!”
As he spoke, Xiao Changting pursued the island, “Skull King, thinking of fleeing now? Too late!”
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Changting had flown past the island, chasing into the distance, and soon vanished from the duo’s senses.
“Amitabha! With the Department Head leading the charge, we can go all out now!” Monk Wumo’s eyes lit up.
Li Cheng nodded and turned to fly toward the island, “The Divine Monarch inside might activate the great array for an attack at any moment, let’s force our way through with brute strength!”
“Eh? I’ve tried, but couldn’t break it!”
As they spoke, the two returned to the sea, and Li Cheng marked a spot on the formation with his Divine Sense, “Divine Monk, focus your attack on this node, I’ll take on another, we strike simultaneously, and we shall break the formation.”
Once this formation was broken, only the last layer would remain, and its power would be greatly reduced.
Monk Wumo nodded vigorously, hope shining in his eyes, “With that, there’s hope for this poor monk to convert the Dead Spirits inside!”
Li Cheng activated the White Tiger Seal, and Monk Wumo’s fingertips surged with Buddhist power, as Li Cheng gave the command, they struck at the same time!
Amid the thunderous noise, the formation shattered!
Monk Wumo’s face broke into a smile, “Excellent, excellent!”
But suddenly, Monk Wumo frowned, “The Dead Spirits have begun to scatter and flee!”
Through their Divine Sense, countless Dead Spirits burst out of the island, scattering in all directions, even the Divine Monarch had fled!
“Probably scared off by the Department Head, after all, even the Divine King ran away,” Li Cheng said.
“Amitabha, I shall pursue that Divine Monarch, he has space fluctuations on him, and must be carrying quite a few Dead Spirits!”
Without waiting for Li Cheng’s response, Monk Wumo had already given chase.
At such a time, that Divine Monarch would indeed likely be carrying quite a few people to flee for their lives.
Li Cheng didn’t chase after them, looking at the formation that was left with only one layer, ready to break through and explore the island.
Especially at the two ‘eye socket’ locations, where Time and Space Laws were surging, there had to be some treasure.
After four hours, with a press of his hand, Li Cheng saw the formation dissipate.
“Amitabha, thanks to the Donor, this poor monk was able to convert quite a few Dead Spirits,” Monk Wumo returned, his breath a bit disturbed, but a smile on his face.
Clearly, this fellow had gained quite a few points.
“Divine Monk, you’ve returned at the perfect time, shall we explore this island together?” Li Cheng said with a smile.
“Most excellent, most excellent!”
