Chapter 753: Fighting Over the Godhead
“Long Fu is victorious! How many could predict this outcome at the beginning of the duel?”
“So scary, that barbarian Xu Liang was too dauntless and fierce!”
“What? I just heard some news; Lord Long Meng is about to be defeated! Qi Ci Lang is at the cusp of victory.”
“Impossible?”
“That must be fake news!!”
The cheering crowd gradually grew clamorous.
“What is happening?” The dragonman youngster lowered his arm, when he saw the audience reacting strangely, he realized something significant happened.
“Could it be that Long Meng…”
Rumble!
Just as the dragonman youngster exited the arena, the earth began to shake.
A few seconds later, the shaking grew more severe, reaching the level of an earthquake!
“What is going on?”
“The earth is shaking; the capital is shaking!”
“Run away!!”
The crowd sank into chaos as they madly charged through the arena’s gate. Then, in the gateway, people were quickly trampled in the congested crowd.
…
In another dueling arena.
Qi Ci Lang looked down on the fallen Long Meng, “You almost killed me again, even without any battle qi, you were able to do that, not an easy task at all!”
“Hehehe, to reward your efforts, I will give you the gift of death, time to send you off.”
Qi Ci Lang swung his palm down like a knife, ruthlessly chopping towards Long Meng’s skull.
“Don’t!” The audience anxiously cried out.
Many people couldn’t bear to watch and closed their eyes.
The moment Long Meng was about to be beheaded, the earth suddenly shook, the ground ruptured with gigantic cracks, and the entire dueling arena began to collapse. Large amounts of ice sculpture guardians fell from the sky.
Qi Ci Lang was startled, and after taking a step back, he reacted. He was just about to get on with killing Long Meng, when he noticed that Long Meng had mysteriously vanished!
The Thirteenth Prince soon transmitted through an alchemy communication device, “Qi Ci Lang don’t go after Long Meng. The pivotal moment has arrived, and the reality is perhaps the worst one the empire had divined. The reason why you accompanied me here is as a layer of insurance. Now, you need to carry out your mission!”
…
The earth burst open.
The scraping sound of ice splitting and the cold air chilled the blood of those who heard it.
Countless ice-cold auras gushed out from the crevices, rapidly decreasing the temperature of the Ice Sculpture Capital.
Then, all kinds of aquatic ice magic beasts drilled their way out of the ground and began to destroy all the facilities nearby on a massive scale, devastating the entire Ice Sculpture Capital.
The capital’s residents fled in a frenzy, and the entire capital sank into utter chaos. From time to time, tall buildings were split open and slowly collapsed into the cracks, causing expansive casualties.
The Ice Sculpture Kingdom’s defensive measure were activated, and the capital’s street sculptures began to move. Large swaths of ice sculpture guardians fought everywhere, culling the aquatic magic beasts.
In this upheaval, the dragonman youngster, with Zi Di and Cang Xu in tow, quickly rushed into their temporary encampment in the capital.
“These aquatic magic beasts should be from the Ten Millennia Ice Lake.”
“That’s right, what happened to the Ice Sculpture Capital’s formation?”
“Let’s regroup with the rest of the mercenary corps first!”
…
The Ten Millennia Ice Lake’s bottom.
Under the third layer of the millennium ice layer.
Teacher Si Ling carefully hid his trail, cautiously observing the vast light formation around him.
It was a ginormous three-dimensional magic formation that encompassed the entire Ten Millennia Ice Lake, it was the Millennium Dragon Ultra-formation.
A moment later, the Millennium Dragon Formation suddenly activated, rapidly affecting its surroundings.
“Prior activations were at most at 38% power, why is it suddenly activating at over 80% power?”
“Did something unforeseen happen? Something forced the royal family to activate it at full power?”
Teacher Si Ling secretly guessed what.
He was extremely good at formations and could effortlessly mend Ocean Mother Nest’s large blood sacrifice formation. He naturally understood that after an ultra-formation such as this was built, parts of it were activated in constant trials to inspect whether the formation was built correctly.
All the way until the entire formation was activated.
Suddenly activating over 80% of it was very risky.
If some part of the formation was built incorrectly, internal friction was easily caused, and if by chance that internal conflict was big enough, it would explode, then trigger a chain collapse that formed an avalanche even a legend level expert would be powerless to stop.
It could be said that the royal family’s sudden activation of the formation was a massive risk!
The Ice Sculpture Capital’s intense earthquake, ice floor shattering, and spilling out of aquatic magic beasts was the consequences of activating the formation.
In some unknown place, a problem appeared, and in short, the magic formation’s power leaked and battered the surface.
…
“Long Meng, wake up!”
Long Meng slowly opened his eyes at the tough urging voice.
He looked at the man before him, then promptly kneeled to the ground, deferentially saluting, “Your Majesty.”
The one who teleported and saved Long Meng’s life was the Ice Sculpture King.
The Ice Sculpture King nodded, “The Godhead is already complete, I need you to pray, then enter the Dueling Divine Domain to provide spatial coordinates.”
Long Meng nodded, changed his kneeling posture, and then lowered his head in prayer.
Not long after, his internal divine power was expended, and he vanished, arriving on the top of Tranquil Hill.
The Ice Sculpture King’s eyes shined, calling out, “The moment is here!”
He controlled the Millennium Dragon Formation, rigidly locking onto the obtained spatial coordinates, then began to bombard with the formation’s full power.
The magic formation buzzed, the Ice Sculpture Capital shook even stronger, and even a corner of the king’s castle collapsed.
Many commonfolk were injured or died, but the Ice Sculpture King was unshakeable, he didn’t care at all. He desired the Dueling Godhead, and so long as he could obtain it, every sacrifice was worth it!
The Millennium Dragon Formation’s power was vast and mighty, and after forcibly blowing up the Dueling Divine Domain’s spatial barriers, it created a bridge between it and the world.
The Ice Sculpture King didn’t hesitate and quickly ran through the spatial gate.
A moment later, he appeared on the outermost edge of the Dueling Divine Domain.
He was no duelist but an apostate, he couldn’t teleport to or near Tranquil Hill.
However, this was within the Ice Sculpture King’s expectations.
He elucidated his orientation and immediately flew with all his strength towards Tranquil Hill!
…
“Found it!”
“I found the spatial door; I have taken the specific spatial coordinate.”
The Dueling Divine Domain has finally been found!!”
In an alchemy laboratory under the ice lake, imperial secret spies almost danced with excitement.
They had been on this secret mission for thirty long years. It was difficult to hide it for so long, and at long last, they saw the fist light dawn that this mission could be completed.
The Thirteenth Prince sneered, “Ice Sculpture King, you finally couldn’t help yourself and did it.”
“Thank you for forcing open the spatial door, otherwise, how could we follow the vine to the melon and lock onto the Dueling Divine Domain’s exact location.”
“Next, if you may.” The Thirteenth Prince looked at two people.
The two people from the Secret Gate Church were calmly standing at the Thirteenth Prince’s side.
The gold level bishop nodded and began to loudly pray.
“Grand Secret Gate God, God of Space, linker of myriad travelers.”
“The key to every domain is in Your hands, endless roads are unfolded by Your directions.”
“Every door in this world can be opened and closed by Your formless key.”
“You are the traveler’s guidebook; You are the compassionate ship of explorers.”
“Now, this believer beseeches You to use Your power to guide us into a tiger’s cave, to traverse an unknown secluded path.”
“Please reveal a wonderful secret, construct a gate that will lead us through the walls and arrive at our enemy’s stronghold.”
“For justice, for victory, we must stun our enemies, elate believers, and inspire courage!”
God’s gaze was closely watching.
The bishop excitedly shuddered from head to toe.
God permitted it!
The bishop’s divine favor was violently expended to zero.
A mysterious door appeared from nothing, and it slowly opened, beholding the Divine Dueling Domain behind it.
“This is a masterless divine domain; thus, its defenses are weak, what an extremely rare golden opportunity!” The Thirteenth Prince sighed incessantly.
The saint level guardian walked in first, entering the Dueling Divine Domain through the secret gate.
Qi Ci Lang followed close behind.
After that it was the imperial secret spies, they lined up and entered, there were thirteen gold levels among them!
…
“Something fishy is happening in the divine domain, there are strong and persisting spatial fluctuations!”
“What is actually going on?”
Honey Snow Tower was in chaos; Shuang Lian and Bu Quan were on the top floor, doing their best to ascertain the origin.
“Someone forcibly blew up the spatial walls; the divine domain and the Main Plane are connected.” Shuang Lian murmured.
Bu Quan shouted in shock, “You’re saying we can use the King’s Crowbar to open more spatial holes. We can leave this place, teacher.”
Shuang Lian absent-mindedly grunted, she was about to reply when she suddenly got a message.
“Magician Shuang Lian, as the Ice Sculpture King, I conscript you and your magician tower. Please depart for Tranquil Hill and work to protect it!”
At that moment, the Ice Sculpture King was standing on the top of Tranquil Hill.
“The preparations of past kings weren’t wasted.” The Ice Sculpture King sighed with many emotions, “Finally, my time has come to profit from them.”
“Long Meng, Mei Lin, Gu Dong, and Bao Li Gen, you are in charge of Tranquil Hill’s defense.”
Mei Lin and the three other duelists kneeled, giving their blessing, “My Lord, Grand Dueling God, we respectfully welcome you to your divine throne!”
The Ice Sculpture King used an alchemy device, and a moment later, appeared inside of Tranquil Hill’s interior.
It was an immense and dark space.
The space only had one light source in the middle, it emitted the rich and diverse radiance of the dazzling rainbow, it was the Dueling Godhead.
Unlike the vision from the dragonman youngster’s divine oracle, the Dueling Godhead was complete now!
The Ice Sculpture King took a deep breath, then excitedly charged at the Godhead.
But halfway there, his face sank like water, his progress was becoming difficult.
The radiance released by the Dueling Godhead shined upon the Ice Sculpture King, turning him into a ball of rainbow light that vaguely looked humanoid. The radiance’s intangible and immense pressure suppressed him, thwarting his approach.
The Dueling Godhead loathed him and rejected him!
“Why? How can this be?!” The Ice Sculpture King was stupefied.
