Chapter 93
Luo Hengzhi listened quietly, then vanished into the realm of gods, followed closely by Feng Zheng and the others.
The five divine generals sent down by Xueyao turned around and saw that the original small world was now empty. Without hesitation, they followed Luo Hengzhi back to the divine realm.
The moment Luo Hengzhi stepped into the realm of gods, she was dressed casually, but suddenly her fiery battle robes were put on her and her jet-black hair turned into waist-length silver hair!
Luo Hengzhi, dressed in red robes and with white hair, stood there quietly. With a wave of his hand, 500,000 consciousness puppets, clad in armor, appeared in neat formation behind him!
With overwhelming power, it can slay gods and demons alike, and is invincible!
A chilling aura swept across the entire divine realm, causing all the gods to tremble and their bodies to move uncontrollably toward the gates of the divine realm!
Feng Zheng and his companions finally had a moment of triumph. They had returned, and looking at the 500,000 puppet army behind them, their cultivation levels, which had been rapidly increasing during the Mahayana stage, suddenly exuded a pressure that even the gods feared!
They knew, of course, that the cultivation levels of these consciousness puppets were rapidly increasing, mirroring their leader's condition!
In the blink of an eye, Luo Hengzhi stood in the void beneath the divine gate. Twelve guardian beast statues on each side moved in unison, turning to face Luo Hengzhi and kneeling with their heads bowed!
This is a scene that only occurs when the gatekeeper beast meets the deity!
Xueyao has been in the position of God-King for nearly two thousand years, and this has never happened before!
At the moment when the 24 guardian beasts bowed their heads, the Creation Sword let out a thunderous dragon roar, and the sword body emitted a golden light that illuminated the entire divine gate!
The divine gate slowly opened, welcoming its master back!
Amidst the roar of dragons, Luo Hengzhi stepped steadily into the divine gate, holding the Creation Sword in her right hand, her killing intent palpable!
Nearly two thousand years later, Luo Hengzhi returned to this place once again.
"Welcome back to the Divine Realm, Divine Lord!"
After passing through the divine gate, all the gods knelt on the ground. Xue Yao stood alone in the very center, bowing slightly to Luo Hengzhi with a solemn expression, and said respectfully, "Welcome, Divine Lord!"
Luo Hengzhi glanced indifferently at Xue Yao and the others who were kneeling to greet her, her expression unchanged, and the hand holding the sword did not even change the degree of its elevation.
Luo Hengzhi took a step and teleported away, leaving an afterimage behind him. The suffocating pressure made the gods present not even dare to breathe, and some even began to tremble and could not even kneel steadily!
Luo Hengzhi's eyes were indifferent; she didn't even glance at Xue Yao.
Having been a deity for a thousand years, Xue Yao had become accustomed to others being cautious and subservient in his presence.
Now, being ignored by Luo Hengzhi in front of everyone, he couldn't bear it. Even with his eyelids closed, he couldn't suppress the anger and murderous intent in his eyes.
How could Xue Yao's little tricks escape Luo Hengzhi's notice? Luo Hengzhi sneered inwardly, "Is that all the restraint she has?"
Xue Yao turned around and a long spear appeared in her hand, pointing directly at Luo Hengzhi's chest. This was no ordinary spear; purple divine fire instantly enveloped the entire spear.
This purple flame is the fire from the core of the divine realm, capable of burning all living beings in the Three Realms and Nine Provinces, and even destroying divine lords!
Two thousand years ago, Qingran's final attack on Luo Hengzhi also used the fire from the earth's core!
"Too slow!"
Luo Hengzhi stepped back, her figure nimbly dodging the attack. Even at this moment, Luo Hengzhi's gaze remained indifferent as she looked at Xue Yao who was attacking.
He clearly didn't take the person in front of him seriously.
Xueyao was enraged by that indifferent gaze: "You think this is all!"
"Form ranks!"
Xue Yao swung her spear and stopped, intending to save face and show off a bit, but unexpectedly she was struck by a spirit sword. With a "bang," Xue Yao was sent flying.
Upon landing, he staggered several steps before regaining his balance, utterly humiliated in front of the gods!
Luo Hengzhi looked at Ye Zi, whose appearance softened, and asked, "How did you get here?"
"You've forgotten we're cultivation partners. No matter where you are, I can pinpoint your location and instantly appear beside you." Ye Zi's eyes were cold as she glared at Luo Hengzhi. "So... don't even think about leaving me behind again!"
If Ye Zi hadn't mentioned it, Luo Hengzhi would have almost forgotten that they were already Dao Couples and possessed Dao Couple Teleportation!
"I won't leave you behind!" Luo Hengzhi squeezed Ye Zi's hand; it was slightly cool, as she had been rushing here and the wind had been blowing on it!
"Master!" The Dragon Phoenix flew out of Ye Zi's spatial bracelet and pounced on Luo Hengzhi.
Longbao complained, "Our master left without taking us with him, although it doesn't seem like we'd be of much use following him anyway."
Luo Hengzhi smelled the strong peach scent on Long Bao Huo Feng and knew that it must have been Old Qian who turned Long Bao Huo Feng into a peach so that Long Bao Huo Feng could hide in Ye Zi's storage space and come along with her!
Xueyao was already embarrassed, and now he was completely ignored, which made him even angrier. He had already formed a battle formation, but the other people were flirting and chatting!
Xue Yao's eyes were filled with anger, and she glared fiercely at Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi. A black aura of malevolence swept over her, and she no longer had any semblance of a god!
"Godslayer Array, activate!"
Xue Yao ordered the killing formation to be activated. Luo Hengzhi would definitely not let him go this time. So the outcome was decided at this moment. Either Luo Hengzhi would die in the killing formation and he would rule the God Realm for another two thousand years, or he would die without a burial place and never be reincarnated!
This formation has been strengthened and modified over a thousand years, specifically to deal with Luo Hengzhi's return!
Since there are still three more to die, let's make sure Luo Heng's cycle of reincarnation isn't lonely.
The moment the God-Slaying Array was activated, Luo Hengzhi calmly raised her hand and pulled Xue Yao into the array as well, saying, "You created this array, how can you not come in and taste its flavor!"
Longbao: "I think I saw my father outside the formation just now. I wonder if he saw me or if he would recognize me?"
Fire Phoenix: "Don't worry, your father will definitely recognize you. We'll see him once we get out."
Xueyao, who was listening from a corner, laughed and said, "You still want to get out? Once you're in this formation, the gods trapped inside won't stop, so let's all die together!"
"Gods?" Long Bao shrugged. "But Huo Feng and I aren't gods!"
"What are you so happy about? Even gods have to die, and you two aren't even gods, so you're even more likely to die completely." As soon as Xue Yao finished speaking, the formation was thrown into chaos.
Luo Hengzhi looked at the calm killing formation. This killing formation was assessing the strength of each person and then eliminating them in stages!
This is also what makes the God-Slaying Array special; unlike ordinary magic arrays with pre-set programs, the God-Slaying Array has its own judgment.
It's less of a magic array and more of a calm, ruthless, and decisive killer, whose greatest expertise lies in how to kill gods!
Before Luo Hengzhi could figure out exactly what Xue Yao had modified, the evaluation of the God-Slaying Array ended, and he began his hunt!
In the blink of an eye, Luo Hengzhi Ye Zi and Long Bao Huo Feng were teleported away.
While calmly sensing Ye Zi's location, Luo Hengzhi used the master contract to summon Long Bao back to her side.
The four of them soon reunited.
"I was suddenly all alone, it scared me to death!" Long Bao clung tightly to Luo Hengzhi's sleeve, afraid that he had been teleported away.
Huo Fengye Zi tightly gripped Long Bao's collar, the two little ones strung together like candied hawthorns on Luo Hengzhi's body.
First challenge: Facing death to live!
The basic setup for this level is that each person is given a unique killing formation. Now, Luo Heng and his four companions will have to deal with four different killing formations.
However, the four killing formations are not activated simultaneously, but one at a time, which will slow down the death of the four people.
The first thing to deal with is the Heart of Earth Fire, since it was this thing that killed Luo Hengzhi.
If Luo Hengzhi might have a phobia of anything, it would be this beautiful purple flame!
The fire from the earth's core surged toward Luo Hengzhi, moving much faster than Xue Yao had just been.
Unfortunately, Luo Hengzhi showed no discomfort at the sight of the approaching purple flames, and instead summoned twenty more consciousness puppets.
He then commanded the puppets to devour the fire from the earth's core!
These puppets were specially crafted by Luo Hengzhi using modern technology and rare, super-high-temperature resistant materials to contain the fire from the earth's core.
The fire from the earth's core can burn away the immortal divine body. Once the puppet absorbs it, it can then attack the god as easily as a match touching firewood. It's incredibly easy to kill!
After all the Earth Core Fire was absorbed, the twenty puppets felt a bit insufficient, since the Earth Core Fire was finite, and even the God-Slaying Array couldn't produce it indefinitely.
Luo Hengzhi then put the puppet away.
Long Bao: "This killing formation is pretty ordinary; it just had a few small flames flickering."
But as soon as Long Bao finished speaking, the scene changed, and it became the day when Long Bao was abandoned by his biological father.
Huo Feng looked at Long Bao with concern. Long Bao's eyes were glazed over, clearly indicating that he had already been pulled in.
Luo Hengzhi raised her hand and patted Long Bao's head, and Long Bao's eyes began to clear.
“Master, you pulled me back?” Long Bao looked up at Luo Hengzhi. “Now I have a master, I’m no longer sad about being abandoned, and I understand that my father probably didn’t abandon me on purpose, there must have been a reason.”
"Hmm." Luo Hengzhi pulled Long Bao back, wanting that Long Bao no longer had to endure those unhappy things. Even if the dragon clan had some unavoidable circumstances, a newborn dragon cub should not have to suffer unwarranted criticism.
At this moment, flames suddenly erupted from the Fire Phoenix's body, but its eyes remained bright, unlike the Dragon Treasure which had entered a memory illusion.
"How did the flames on my body ignite by themselves!" Fire Phoenix had just finished speaking when the red flames on her body suddenly turned purple.
It's exactly the same as the purple subterranean fire that just appeared!
Luo Hengzhi never expected that the fire phoenix of the small world was actually a descendant of the extinct Divine Phoenix clan!
The reason why the flames on the fire phoenix turned purple is because the divine phoenix and the fire from the earth's core are connected!
"Ah...it's so hot!" After the purple flames appeared, the fire phoenix began to feel a distinct burning sensation in its soul!
Ye Zi made hand seals, and healing spiritual light enveloped the fire phoenix, causing its wounds to heal rapidly and the pain to gradually subside.
The purple flames burned ever brighter, yearning to block out the spiritual light!
Luo Hengzhi grasped Ye Zi's hand and lowered her spiritual power: "Little Ye Zi, the Fire Phoenix needs to be burned by the Earth's core to be reborn. This can alleviate the pain in the Fire Phoenix's soul, but it cannot isolate it from the Earth's core fire!"
Upon hearing Luo Hengzhi's words, Ye Zi immediately did as instructed.
The pain in her soul was soothed, and the Fire Phoenix felt much better, but the burning sensation on her skin continued. Although she could bear it, she was still burned back to her original form.
The fire from the earth's core grew stronger and stronger, and the fire phoenix crashed wildly in mid-air, its phoenix scales being burned away one by one. When the last phoenix scale was gone!
Just then, Luo Hengzhi injected a wisp of divine power into the fire phoenix's body. The fire phoenix let out a mournful cry and spewed out golden flames. The golden flames intertwined with the purple earth core fire, together enveloping and burning the fire phoenix's huge body!
The phoenix's cry abruptly stopped!
Long Bao suddenly felt a pang of anxiety: "Master, will something happen to the Fire Phoenix?"
Looking at the slowly dying golden-purple flames, Luo Hengzhi said, "This is the only way!"
After Luo Hengzhi finished speaking, he looked at Ye Zi. Ye Zi's ancient spirit body had recovered in the same way that day, she had been reborn from the dead!
Ye Zi looked at the flames that had been completely extinguished in mid-air, leaving only a black mass, which was the ashes of the fire phoenix after it burned!
Ye Zi softly called out, "Fire Phoenix!"
