Chapter 260: Chapter 260 - 255: Divine Medicine, Divine Bone i

A God?

The self-proclaimed title of the middle-aged man made both Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan furrow their brows simultaneously. Was the remnant soul before them a deity in life?

How much combat power could the remnant soul of a deity possibly have?

However, the remnant soul before them likely couldn’t exhibit much combat power, since this was an ancient battlefield—a special area caused by the great war amongst deities at the end of the last era. The appearance of the middle- aged man here suggested he was a participant in that war.

This was an event from hundreds of millions of years ago. How much combat power could a deity’s remnant soul that had survived for hundreds of millions of years retain?

Stepping forward a few paces, the middle-aged man arrived at the edge of the Tower of Chaos and said, “I am a Heaven God of the Chaos Clan. In those years, I fought against various deities to protect the Kunlun Realm, and fortunately, a strand of my Remnant Soul survived in this world. Now that I have encountered descendants of my clan, I shall take this body and return to the God Realm!”

“Of course, I will use a secret technique to preserve his soul and give him the opportunity to reshape a new body!”

With that said, the middle-aged man’s piercing gaze shifted towards Li Cheng, “Although you are his master, I am not seeking your consent.”

Li Cheng laughed, “Such a shameless deity, pretending to be the Nine Star Great Emperor and spouting nonsense. You just yearn to seize the youth’s body, why not speak plainly!”

“You agree?” asked the middle-aged man, somewhat surprised.

The smile on Li Cheng’s face faded, “There’s no need to obtain my consent, as you said!”

“But you can try!”

As he spoke, Li Cheng’s aura surged around him.

The middle-aged man’s expression darkened slightly. How could he not understand that he had been tricked?

“Young man, it’s unwise to transgress against a deity…”

His words were not yet fully spoken when Li Cheng had already begun forming hand seals, “Seal of Heaven!”

Without any warning, the middle-aged man was instantly restrained!

But before Li Cheng could make his next move, an extremely powerful force suddenly erupted from beneath the middle-aged man’s feet. It broke the seal and at the same time, the man vanished into the Tower of Chaos.

“The fifth layer!”

Li Cheng discerned the middle-aged man’s destination. He casually took the unconscious Jiang Fan into the Immortal Palace and then turned his attention to the dilapidated Tower of Chaos.

“This was forged by the Chaos Clan, it’s likely a Divine Artifact. Even with only five layers remaining, it helped him easily break your Seal of Heaven. We probably can’t do anything to him,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan commented.

Li Cheng tried, but indeed couldn’t enter it. The self-proclaimed Heaven God hiding inside was as if entrenched within an unbreakable shell.

However, since he had encountered the Tower of Chaos, Li Cheng naturally would not give up. He took out the Fire Mysterious Realm and tried to take the Tower of Chaos.

Whether or not he could refine it was another matter; it was worth taking first!

Soon, Li Cheng enveloped it with his Law field and successfully brought it into the Fire Mysterious Realm.

“It actually worked. It seems the Tower of Chaos has become ownerless; otherwise, even if damaged, it wouldn’t have been so easily taken,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan stated.

Li Cheng nodded, “Who knows how many levels the Tower of Chaos has? This is the bottom five layers, but there must be quite a few secrets or treasures hidden within, right?”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan chuckled, “Or perhaps dangers!”

Li Cheng did not express an opinion. For the moment, he set aside the matter of the Tower of Chaos. With the Fire Mysterious Realm suppressing it, that Remnant Soul wouldn’t cause any trouble.

Moreover, it was apparent that the Remnant Soul had only managed to cling to life up until now by relying on the Corpse-wrapping Cloth and was not to be feared.

Now that he was in the ancient battlefield, he naturally wanted to have a thorough search.

“Didn’t you say there are many treasures? Let’s start treasure hunting!” Li Cheng said to the Mole.

Sparkling with intelligence, the Mole’s small eyes lit up, “Boss, leave it to me!”

“This ancient battlefield marks the end of an era. Countless deities have perished here, leaving behind many treasures. It’s quite exciting!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said with a smile.

As soon as his words fell, the Mole had already teleported out, landing in a gorge a hundred miles away, “Boss, this is definitely a piece of a Divine Artifact. How else could such a powerful force wave remain after hundreds of millions of years?”

Li Cheng, seated on the back of the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, let it lead the way. He glanced at the palm-sized fragment and shook his head slightly, “That’s a fragment of an Immortal Artifact of the Law, not a Divine Artifact.”

When an Immortal Artifact of the Law is shattered, some remnants of the Law linger. Over countless years, these remnants naturally attract a considerable amount of nature’s spiritual energy.

“Already covered in rust, even the remnants of an Immortal Artifact of the Law can’t withstand the erosion of time. Continue searching!” Li Cheng continued.

The Mole shifted its gaze to a sheer cliff on the side of the gorge, “That bead there!”

Following its gaze, indeed, there was a bead the size of a ping-pong ball, amber-like with no sign of energy escaping, but Li Cheng could sense that it contained a very vigorous life force within.

“Divine Blood transformed over time with the blessings of the years, and it appears to be the essence blood of some Divine Beast,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan stated.

“White Tiger! One of the Four Spirits, the White Tiger!” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said with conviction.

“How do you know?” Li Cheng inquired.

The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle replied with solemnity in its eyes, “It’s a resonance between Divine Beasts—there’s no mistake. I didn’t expect that even the White Tiger, one of the Four Divine Beasts, spilled its blood on the ancient battlefield. What exactly happened back then?”

“Who knows? If only the Divine Turtle Boss could step into the Long River of Time, then you could gaze upon the past through it,” the Mole said, hopeful.

The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle gave him a disdainful glance, “What a joke, the Long River of Time… I’m not looking to die just yet.”

Li Cheng stored the Divine Blood Bead in the Immortal Palace, uncertain how much of the White Tiger’s essence blood had been condensed into it. If there was enough, it might be possible to create a White Tiger.

“There’s more over here!”

The Mole teleported deeper into the gorge, pointing to a wisp of faint mist.

Seemingly disturbed, the mist rapidly contracted, solidifying into a Ganoderma, and then disappeared into the earth.
