"A mere formation..." The Snake, the peak divine realm beast among the twelve zodiac animals, sneered and said. At the same time, he and several companions around him unleashed an extremely powerful force, blasting it towards the direction from which the formation's power came.
He sensed that these array formations contained some power, but it was only the power of a high-level god. Did they really think such an attack could harm them? How naive!
The combined power he and his companions unleashed would have seriously injured even a powerful figure like the Azure Lotus Divine Lord if he dared to take it head-on!
He couldn't sense the aura of the Azure Lotus Divine Lord in this power, and couldn't help but wonder if the Azure Lotus Divine Lord had sent a message to the other powerful members of the Primordial God Clan, asking them to block him here, thus creating an opportunity for the Azure Lotus Divine Lord to escape.
Sacrificing a pawn to save the king is a very common occurrence and perfectly fits the logic of this situation!
In that case, the strength of these superior divine realm beings is even less worth mentioning!
They need to deal with these superior divine realm beings quickly, and then continue to catch up with the Azure Lotus Divine Lord!
However, just as they were thinking this, the next moment, the expressions of the Snake and several other peak-level divine beings among the twelve zodiac beasts with strong senses changed drastically!
"not good!"
"retreat!"
They exclaimed in surprise.
However, it was too late.
"Buzz!"
Beside them, a mysterious power enveloped them, suddenly slowing them down; it was the Three-Eyed Emperor's Divine Eye Divine Power.
"boom--"
At the same time, a terrifying force swept away their power with overwhelming force, and the massive attack landed on them.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Those twelve zodiac beasts that were only at the upper-level divine realm were immediately blasted apart. Even those at the peak divine realm were seriously injured. These attacks covered most of the twelve zodiac beasts, greatly reducing their strength.
"What?"
Damn it!
"There are actually dozens of high-level divine realm cultivators joining forces..."
"His power is comparable to that of six or seven peak-level divine realm cultivators working together!"
"Quickly spread this information..."
The twelve zodiac animals were all greatly surprised.
Without hesitation, they immediately began contacting the outside world.
"This is bad. This space is strongly blocked by a powerful shielding formation. Even we can't contact the outside world. We need time..." Soon, one of the twelve zodiac beasts said with a grim expression.
"Our priority is to defend against enemy attacks! Contact them as soon as possible!" a peak-level Divine Realm Zodiac Beast said in a deep voice.
The main problem was that they were caught off guard this time. Otherwise, even if the combined strength of the opponents was equivalent to that of six or seven peak Divine Realm experts, they were not weak. Even if they couldn't defeat them, they could have easily left.
Who would have thought that the Primordial Gods, who had fallen to such a state of decline and had been hiding in the shadows, still possessed such immense power? And such a powerful force was all waiting for them here?
Yes, he believed that this should be the vast majority of the remaining power of the Primordial Gods, or even all of their high-level power. Otherwise, based on their understanding of the Primordial Gods, it would be difficult for the remaining Primordial Gods who were still resisting to gather such a powerful force!
Such immense power... truly exceeded their expectations...
With examples of the Dragon, Tiger, and Sheep before them, they were not ignorant people and did not act recklessly.
Their pursuit of Qinglian Divine Lord and Shi Nantian had long been a matter of concern to the imperial court. This was no longer just a matter for the twelve zodiac animals, but also for the imperial court. They weren't fools; there was no need for them to confront them head-on at this time.
"Boom! Boom!"
In a rapid exchange of voices, they simultaneously unleashed powerful attacks to defend against Lin Yun and his group.
On the other side.
"Dozens of superior divine realm beings? No! They are not living beings divine realm beings! What are their identities?" The Azure Lotus Divine Lord stared at this scene in shock, saying incredulously.
Dozens of superior divine realm beings are not a weak force. Even within the once-powerful innate divine dynasty, they would be an extremely strong force. Judging from their current performance, they are no less powerful than the overall strength of the twelve zodiac beasts.
“Ghost cultivators! They are ghost cultivators at the Divine Realm! Where are they from? In which part of the Great World of Living Beings? Or…” Soon, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord recognized the ghost cultivator identities of these Divine Realm experts, but he was still somewhat puzzled.
Once upon a time, the Primordial God Clan Dynasty was extremely powerful. The Netherworld had just been born, having only broken through a dozen or so new layers of heaven. The strongest ghost cultivator was only at the ordinary Saint Domain. Overall, its strength was not even as great as that of many ordinary low-level Primordial God Universes in the Great World of Living Beings. The Primordial God Clan, the darlings of heaven and earth, reached the God Realm as soon as they came of age, and did not take the Netherworld seriously at all.
The Netherworld is likely a world with eighty-one heavens, possibly a great world comparable to the Great World of Living Beings. However, this is just a rumor, and many powerful figures do not believe it at all. At that time, the Primordial God Clan Dynasty also ignored such rumors.
There are many rumors in this world. Before something happens, you don't need to pay any attention to them. It's not too late to pay attention to them after something actually happens.
The Primordial God Dynasty was powerful and had the resources to do so.
However, after the Primordial Gods fell into decline, the Netherworld gradually came into the view of some powerful beings in the Great World of Living Beings. The Primordial Gods also paid attention to the Netherworld, but later they gave up on it.
The Primordial Gods are born with immense power, reaching the Divine Realm upon reaching adulthood. The cultivation resources they require are all those containing the power of chaos, or resources that can substitute for the power of chaos. The Netherworld is not only unable to produce such cultivation resources, but even lower-level resources are difficult to obtain, which is of little benefit to the Primordial Gods.
However, the Yin attribute power within it is beneficial to ordinary cultivators and to the foundation of the acquired gods. They had also considered destroying the Netherworld, thus depriving the acquired gods of a foundation for cultivating ordinary cultivators.
However, the existence of the Netherworld is very special. They couldn't even find the external form of the Netherworld. In addition, after thinking about it, they realized that the acquired gods wouldn't lack this foundation, so they gave up.
However, because of this, the Azure Lotus God Lord has some knowledge of the Netherworld.
The gods of the living realm cannot enter the Netherworld, including their innate divine race.
However, they had sent cultivators below the Divine Realm into the Netherworld before. They knew that the environment in the Netherworld was generally poor, and the strength of ghost cultivators there was also very low. They were considered strong in the Netherworld, but they were nothing special in the Great World of Living Beings.
Without the power of the divine realm ghost cultivators, the rules of the Netherworld at that time could not have given birth to the divine realm.
This information came recently. Although news of the Netherworld becoming stronger has recently spread, even the Azure Lotus Divine Lord dared not imagine that in such a short time, the Netherworld, which did not even have a Divine Realm, had already produced dozens of Upper Divine Realm beings.
Therefore, he wondered if these superior god-level ghost cultivators were from other parts of the Great World of Living Beings.
"Ghost cultivators? High-level divine realm ghost cultivators? And dozens of them?" Hearing Qinglian Divine Lord's words, Shi Nantian was also surprised. He did not expect that Lin Yun had such a powerful ghost cultivator force under his command.
But then, watching the scenes unfold on the battlefield, he exclaimed with great delight, "Azure Lotus Divine Lord, the Twelve Zodiac Beasts are no match for Senior Lin and the others. Let's act quickly, suppress the Twelve Zodiac Beasts, and then leave this place..."
Regardless of whether they are ghost cultivators or not, all they need to know is that they are not enemies.
A sense of shame crept into Shi Nantian's heart. They had dragged Senior Lin and his group into this mess. Dozens of high-level divine realm cultivators were no small force anywhere. Senior Lin had truly spared no effort in saving them. He hoped that none of these high-level divine realm cultivators would be lost.
"They've formed a formation. If we suddenly intervene, it might not be a good thing. It could even disrupt their formation!" Qinglian Divine Lord stopped Shi Nantian from making a move. His eyes were fixed on the battlefield, his expression shifting, and he said in a deep voice.
"Boom! Boom!"
Just then, Lin Yun and his group launched a concentrated attack, thinking that it was better to break one finger than to injure all ten. They focused their full force on the two superior-level divine realm beasts among the twelve zodiac beasts, the Monkey and the Rabbit, and quickly annihilated them.
"Oh no! They have a demonic artifact that devours the life force of their enemies! Shenhou and Maotu have been killed! We must quickly break the surrounding formations!"
"Quickly! Send the message out at full speed!"
The twelve zodiac animals were all shocked.
How long has it been?
Only two or three breaths had passed since they entered this space, and Shenhou and Maotu had already perished!
The opponent's strength... far exceeds theirs...
"No, this formation is too difficult to break through!"
"This formation is too powerful!"
Just then, two of the twelve zodiac animals looked grim.
"Burn your primal power and forcefully break through the formation!"
"The Azure Lotus Divine Lord is still standing by and hasn't made a move. We must break these formations, otherwise, we will suffer heavy losses!"
Upon hearing the words of those two, several more of the twelve zodiac animal beasts shouted sternly.
"The Heavenly King Haotian, so it is the Heavenly King Haotian! No wonder they could set up such a formation. The Heavenly King Haotian is not dead. Not only is he not dead, but his strength and the strength of the formation are even greater than back then!" At this moment, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord's gaze pierced through the layers of formation space and saw a person inside the formation rapidly manipulating it. He took a slight breath and said.
Back then, Haotian God King was a figure who caused the Acquired God Clan a great headache during the great war between the Primordial God Clan and the Acquired God Clan.
It is precisely because of the array formation ability of the Jade Emperor.
It can be said that these powerful ghost cultivators, aided by the array formation abilities of the Heavenly King, are like tigers with wings.
“They’re not all ghost cultivators…there are also two teenagers…or maybe one…whose strength is comparable to a peak god realm!” Then, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord noticed Lin Yun in the formation, his pupils contracted slightly, and he said softly.
He is at the upper-level divine realm, yet possesses strength comparable to the peak divine realm. Moreover, he seems to have two bodies, both of which are comparable to the peak divine realm. One thing after another proves that this young man is extraordinary.
He watched for a while longer, then turned to Shi Nantian and asked, "You knew all along that the Haotian God King was still alive?"
“Yes, about this matter…” Shi Nantian said, forcing himself to speak.
Last time, he told Qinglian Divine Lord that he did not know the other party's identity. In fact, he was referring more to Lin Yun. Haotian Divine King and Lin Yun were clearly Lin Yun in the lead. He really did not know Lin Yun's identity in his previous life.
However, he did recognize the Jade Emperor.
Of course, there was also the reason that he had promised the Jade Emperor not to reveal their information, including that of the Azure Lotus God.
Interrupting Shi Nantian, Qinglian Divine Lord asked again, "That young man appears to be a member of the acquired god race. What's going on?"
“His name is Lin Yun. According to him and the Haotian God King, he was once a powerful figure of our Primordial God Clan who fell from grace, and now he has successfully reincarnated…” Shi Nantian said.
Now that the Azure Lotus Divine Lord has met Lin Yun and the Haotian Divine King, there is no point in hiding this information anymore. He was also afraid that the Azure Lotus Divine Lord might misunderstand Lin Yun's identity as a member of the acquired divine race, so he quickly explained.
"Is that so? No wonder. I saw the shadow of our innate divine race's advanced combat techniques in many of the combat skills he used just now. I thought it was taught to him by the Haotian God King..." Qinglian God Monarch said thoughtfully.
As he spoke, he turned his head again to look at Lin Yun on the battlefield, carefully observing the young man's moves.
He could tell that this boy was not very old in this life. At such a young age, he had such terrifying strength. If he was really a reincarnation of a powerful member of their innate divine race, then his identity in his previous life must have been at least at the peak of the divine realm.
It's not even an ordinary peak divine realm.
There aren't many peak-level gods among their innate divine race, and even fewer powerful peak-level gods. He wondered if he could deduce Lin Yun's past life identity from some details of Lin Yun's actions.
"Hmm? Royal family combat techniques? Could it be one of the princes..." After a moment, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord's expression shifted, and he murmured softly.
He saw the shadow of the royal family's combat techniques on Lin Yun. If it were just one or two moves, he wouldn't be sure, but after seeing more, he couldn't help but guess something. Back then, he had a good relationship with their innate god emperor, so he was very familiar with royal family combat techniques and his sensitivity in this area was higher than that of ordinary experts of the same level.
However, back then, even the most powerful prince of the Primordial God Dynasty was only at the Upper God Realm.
Could this person be the reincarnation of His Highness the Crown Prince? And after his reincarnation, His Highness the Crown Prince is even stronger?
His Majesty the Divine Emperor... that's unlikely. He has His Majesty the Divine Emperor's essence blood. If His Majesty the Divine Emperor successfully reincarnates, the drop of essence blood he preserved should produce a reaction.
"Which prince? Could he be the reincarnation of some prince?" Shi Nantian asked in astonishment upon hearing Qinglian Shenjun's words.
Then, Shi Nantian became excited. Their Innate God Clan Dynasty had been established for countless years, and the majesty of the royal family was deeply rooted in people's hearts. However, the morale of their Innate God Clan was now low. If those Innate God Clan members knew that their Innate God Clan Dynasty's prince had successfully reincarnated and was still very powerful, it would definitely be an inspiring thing.
Perhaps even the Primordial God Clan, which has already pledged allegiance to the Post-Heaven God Clan Dynasty, will be shaken.
But thinking of this, Shi Nantian felt annoyed again. Lin Yun had said that his strength was in a period of improvement, which would take anywhere from a few decades to about ten thousand years. Not only had he not helped the other party, but he had also caused trouble for him time and time again.
This time, they have exposed the other party to the Later God Dynasty.
No wonder the Jade Emperor said that Lin Yun's past life identity was not easy to expose; now he could understand.
If Lin Yun was indeed a prince in his past life, it would be difficult to expose that identity, but now... he has actually done such a foolish thing.
He regretted that he shouldn't have gone out and walked around outside this time.
We shouldn't assume we're safe just because Qinglian Shenjun is by our side.
"Shi Nantian, you should have told me this information sooner!" At this moment, Qinglian Divine Lord turned his head, looked at Shi Nantian, and said in a deep voice.
