âWhatâs wrong, ant? Why did your attack dissipate before reaching me?â the enigmatic figure sneered from the golden idol. His voice was calm yet imposing, like a god issuing orders to a mortal, but it also carried ridicule.
Instead of bickering, Zhao Daobin hurled a punch forth. His martial power fist smashed through several mountains, leaving huge explosions in its wake.
However, the outcome was the same as beforeâhis attack dissipated before it could get close to the enigmatic figure.
âSomething is weird about that fellow, and he harbors hostility toward us. Should we retreat?â Jie Mubai asked Zhao Daobin via voice transmission.
The two of them had been hiding in the shadows together, but who could have expected the enigmatic figure to find them?
Jie Mubai thought Zhao Daobin was discovered because his concealment wasnât refined enough, but he had to reconsider that conjecture now. The enigmatic figure was a powerful adversary, so much so it wouldnât be surprising for him to see through their concealment.
âHahâ¦â Zhao Daobin suddenly burst into laughter. With a wave of his arms, he whipped out two God Armaments. âYou must think lightly of our Zhao Immortal Clan to dare provoke me. Itâll be a stain to our Zhao Immortal Clanâs reputation if I back off here. I must teach this arrogant fellow a lesson today!â
Zhao Daobin suddenly vanished. By the time he reappeared, he was already standing above the golden idol.
The difference in their physiques was so huge that it looked like a mortal was challenging a god, but Zhao Daobin was fearless. Size was of little significance to cultivators of their caliber.
His face suddenly warped in shock when he approached the enigmatic figure. Much to his astonishment, his cultivation was suddenly suppressed from rank three Heavenly God to rank one Heavenly God.
However, it was too late to back off. He swung his blade down on the golden sculpture.
In response, a golden light shot forth from the golden idol, piercing through his martial power and gushing straight toward him.
Zhao Daobin hurriedly twisted to the side to dodge the attack before resuming his offense.
The golden idol continuously unleashed beams of golden light, preventing Zhao Daobin from closing the distance between them.
As the crowd watched the spectacle, Ouyang Mingzhang and the other Heavenly Gods fell into contemplation.
âDid he suppress his cultivation lest others claim it to be an unfair victory?â Ouyang Mingzhang murmured.
He sensed Zhao Daobinâs cultivation being suppressed as he approached the enigmatic figure.
âMucheng.â Long Moxiao and Long Mochuan turned to Long Mucheng.
Long Mucheng nodded with uneasy eyes. She was initially uncertain, but it was evident by this point that the enigmatic figure was a member of the God Clan they had previously encountered.
The God Clan entered the world of cultivation in the end.

Meanwhile, Chu Feng sat on the circle platform, unfazed by the bombardment of killing intent.
Soon, he reached the bottom of the Immemorial Massacre Sea.
Eggy couldnât see anything as Chu Fengâs eyes were tightly shut, so she asked out of concern, âChu Feng, are you fine?â
She could tell Chu Feng was still in decent condition, so she couldnât understand why he adamantly kept his eyes closed.
âEggy, will you blame me if I give up now?â Chu Feng suddenly asked.
âYouâre going to give up? Why? Is the subsequent trial even harder?â Eggy asked.
âThe price of failure is too great. I canât afford it.â
âYou can choose. Iâll support you no matter your decision.â
âLetâs leave then.â
Chu Feng finally opened his eyes.
Through Chu Fengâs eyes, Eggy saw an underwater tunnel resembling a spirit formation gate amidst the seawater around them. Black seawater revolved around the entrance, making it look even more repressive, dangerous, and mysterious.
This entrance held a mysterious allure that drew one in to take a look.
âDo we walk down this passageway if we wish to proceed?â Eggy asked.
âThatâs right,â Chu Feng replied as he rose into the air.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As he had overcome the killing intent trial earlier, no âKillâ characters had fallen on him when he surrendered. In fact, all the âKillâ characters in the sky had disappeared, and the circle platform rose together with him.
It didnât take long for Chu Feng to return to the water surface.
Shortly after the circle platform reached the surface, it vanished.
âBig brother, are you fine?â Little Fishy anxiously rushed forward to examine Chu Fengâs condition.
Fortunately, Chu Feng was in good condition.
âWhat about you? Are you fine?â Chu Feng returned the question.
âOf course Iâm fine! Big brother, did it work?â Little Fishy asked.
âNo, I gave up. The Immemorial Massacre Sea is too difficult to overcome. I am not confident of overcoming the next trial,â Chu Feng replied.
âThe Immemorial Massacre Sea is the most difficult trial of the Three Immemorial Seas. We can always try again next time,â Little Fishy said.
âYou are good at consoling others,â Chu Feng said with a chuckle.
The two of them returned to the Immemorial Massacre Seaâs entrance. It didnât take them long to make the journey back now that there were no obstacles in their path.
As soon as they stepped out of the black vortex, they sensed something was amiss.
The nine-colored lightning formation sealing off the entrance was impressive by itself, but there was also a golden idol in the sky emanating beams of golden light as if attacking something.
Taking a closer look, the golden light was attacking an old man.
It was a battle between two Heavenly Gods.
âWhatâs the situation?â Chu Feng asked Long Chengyu.
Long Chengyu had been staring intently at the sky even though he couldnât see the details of the fight. It was only when he heard Chu Fengâs voice transmission that he realized Chu Feng and Little Fishy had returned.
Long Chengyu, Long Mucheng, and the Ouyang Heavenly Clanâs juniors quickly huddled around Chu Feng and Little Fishy.
âMiss, I know who you are now,â Ouyang Kuangfei said gleefully.
Little Fishy ignored him.
âYou are Xianhai Yuâer,â Ouyang Kuangfei said.
Chu Feng and Little Fishy immediately turned to Long Chengyu.
Little Fishyâs disguise was ingenious, so it was unlikely for Ouyang Kuangfei to have figured it out by himself. Thus, the two of them immediately suspected the big-mouthed Long Chengyu of divulging her identity.
It was unlikely to be Long Muxi as she was more discreet.
Long Chengyu saw through their thoughts and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, âIt isnât me! Your names appeared on that stone monument!â
âThe stone monument?â Chu Feng quickly turned to the stone monument, but there was nothing on it.
âYour names appeared earlier. That was what landed us in our current situation,â Long Mucheng spoke up.
She proceeded to explain the situation to Chu Feng and Little Fishy.
âThe God Clan?â Chu Feng looked at the sky with complicated eyes.
Now that he was taking a second look, he could detect the God Clanâs aura in the sky.
