Chapter 872: Chapter 763: Division_2

The East Abyss slightly frowned as he spoke, his right side of the face, delicate as a celestial being, suddenly twisted and changed.

A look of confusion and pain appeared in the eyes of the East Abyss, and he suddenly waved his hand, slashing open half of his neck, causing a large amount of golden divine blood to spray out.

At this moment, the golden divine blood ignited without fire, transforming into a mass of crimson gold flames that burned fiercely.

Yet the blood could not be entirely burned away, leaving behind a fingertip-sized droplet suspended in the void, which no matter how the crimson-gold flames burned, could not be extinguished.

After focusing his divine sense on it for a moment, the East Abyss shook his head slightly, and with a gentle sweep of his sleeve, sent that droplet of crimson-gold blood flying toward the void ahead, traveling tens of thousands of miles away.

The Great Celestial Master’s expression was solemn, not daring to look at the drop of divine blood’s landing point. He withdrew his divine sense, hanging his head and lowering his eyes.

So he heard the East Abyss say, “As you see, the more complete my Truth Method becomes, the closer I get to the authority of truth, the more deeply I am tainted by the legacy of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. I once took shortcuts, using the leftover power of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate to attain my path, which left the hidden threats I face now. Thus, your utmost urgency now is the remnants of the Truth Divine Throne! Once accounted for this, be it heavenly transcendence or grasping the Divine King’s throne, it would be as easy as taking something from a pocket for me, however–”

The voice of the East Abyss paused: “I have now become everyone’s target. There is already a rift between the South Abyss and me. The Central Abyss and the Lord of Darkness are as wary of me as well. If not for guarding against the Dreamy Heavenly Venerate, they would surely have removed me by now. The fact that the Three Gods of Purgatory have chosen my East Continent as their main offensive direction this time is by no means a coincidence.”

Upon hearing this, the East Continent’s Great Celestial Master’s complexion turned pale.

This was precisely his greatest worry, the concern that the gods might have reached an agreement, causing his superior in the divine to be trapped between enemies on both sides.

The East Abyss gazed far into the direction in which his divine blood had flown: “Therefore, the battle of the Sky Pond must not be lost! We cannot expose even a slight flaw, and we must not give Purgatory any opportunity to exploit.”

He clenched his fists, his eyes revealing a hint of anger and murderous intent.

This anger was directed at the Longevity Association, at that artificial sky within the Heavenly Demon Origin.

The artificial sky built by the Longevity Association was too early. If it had been later, given another twenty or thirty years, the East Abyss would have complete confidence in mastering the Truth Method entirely, becoming a powerful Divine King surpassing even the Great Sun, Immortal, and Dreamy!

Yet these bastards secretly acted behind His back, advancing the artificial sky plan to this point.

The current power of East Abyss still could not accomplish omniscience and omnipotence, and those 14 Heavenly Demon Origins were places He could only influence through will.

If it weren’t for the rise of Lin Hao and his ‘friend’, causing these Immortal Level figures to reveal their slips, the East Abyss would still be kept in the dark to this day.

At this point, the East Continent’s Great Celestial Master took a deep breath, prostrating himself on the ground: “I understand what needs to be done, my lord.”

He knew that in the past 500 years, the divine has placed extra emphasis on national affairs and the livelihood of the people, not just for expanding the heavenly curtain, but to also anchor the divine’s true spirit through the cognition of all beings, preventing taint.

Thus, the battle of Sky Pond must not be lost, and the people must not fall into chaos!

As the Divine Law Venerable manifested a miracle, Zhang Tianchang and Zhuang Mingyue were on an official ship that was slowly docking.

Not only did they witness the majestic divine form appearing in the sky over the docks, but they also felt the boundless divine power of this mighty deity.

The radiant glory of divine power suddenly illuminated the southern port into a vast white expanse, with overwhelming might covering several hundred miles around, filled with boundless awe and the power of concept, resembling an invisible mountain suddenly appearing, weighing down and leaving one breathless.

They felt as if every inch of their skin was being torn by an invisible force, making breathing difficult and sluggish, even their thoughts were slow, as if even their souls were imprisoned, every thought struggling under an indescribable oppression.

They could not help but feel awe, involuntarily bowing to the ground, only able to submit to that supreme will.

From the sky descended white platinum light bolts, containing powers of law and order, blasting toward the station fifteen miles away.

One after another, fifteen times continuously, causing massive bursts of conceptual divine power to resonate around, so much that Martial Cultivators of the Seventh Realm and above gradually bled from their seven apertures.

The surrounding folks and weaker practitioners appeared unaffected, simply because they could not sense that powerful conceptual force or the stormy ether spiritual tide surging through the heavens and earth.

After 15 bolts of golden thunder, the colossal golden divine form above them began to dissipate. Zhang Tianchang wiped his nosebleed with a sleeve, somewhat staggering as he stood up from the deck.

Perhaps due to the abundant cultivation resources Zhang Tianchang now had, or perhaps because the great battle in Silver Moon County completely unlocked his potential, after three years, Zhang Tianchang’s cultivation had already reached the Dragon Transformation boundary, and he had initially touched upon Conceptual Power.

Thus, he perceived the vast divine power of the Divine Law Venerable distinctly.

Upon standing up, Zhang Tianchang had not had the chance to check on Zhuang Mingyue before a burst of noisy discussions erupted nearby.

“It’s incredible, another full fifteen times of divine grace training! The favor of the Divine Law Venerable towards the Heavenly Maiden has truly reached such an extent?”

“Indeed! I heard the Divine Law Venerable bestowed divine grace just two months ago, and in just two months, another fifteen sessions of divine grace training.”

“Personally, I feel this doesn’t look like divine grace training but more like divine punishment, chastisement.”

“Divine punishment? Didn’t you see the dazzling divine power enveloping the Heavenly Maiden? Do you know to what extent the Divine Law Venerable has fortified her physical strength? It’s rumored that before, in Xuannan County, two Ninth Realm practitioners attempted assassination only to be slapped to death by the Heavenly Maiden’s single hand strike, defeating the Ninth Realm as a Seventh Realm effortlessly, an extraordinary feat.”

“The cultivation of the Divine Law Heavenly Girl is becoming increasingly formidable. I heard from a Ninth Realm expert of the Medicine God Sect himself that her ‘Heavenly Order Emperor Dragon’ has already surpassed the conventional meaning of ‘Super Monarch’ and is nearing the Abyss bloodline. It’s said that soon she will break through to the Eighth Realm, becoming even more remarkable, hence no one dares to defy the authority of the Heavenly Maiden within her jurisdiction.”

“Ha! Don’t you know the divine power of the Divine Law Venerable has also greatly increased over the past year? It’s said that officials practicing ‘Heavenly Order’ and ‘Divine Order’ techniques have seen their battle capabilities surge by twenty to thirty percent. Reportedly, those who actively learn the new methods proposed by the Divine Law Heavenly Girl’s Yu Yin decree almost all gain enhancement of some bloodline power.”

“Is this true?”

At this time, Zhuang Mingyue had wiped the blood from her lips and ears with a handkerchief, walked to Zhang Tianchang’s side, and looked towards the station: “I heard that the conceptual power of the Divine Law Heavenly Girl’s ‘Heavenly Order’ and ‘Divine Order’ has reached sixty-two percent, nearly approaching Longevity, showcasing the deep favor of the Divine Law Venerable for the Heavenly Maiden.”

Zhang Tianchang’s eyes instantly showed astonishment: “Sixty-two percent, that high?”

Ordinary people may not understand the weight of sixty-two percent in concept, but Zhang Tianchang, who had initially touched on conceptual power, knew.

His ‘Vajra’, ‘Solid’, and ‘Enhancement’ concepts had only reached five percent, the so-called 5% according to Heavenly Demon.

“My senior sister in dreams mentioned it in a flying book, it can’t be false, and it was from a month ago.”

Zhuang Mingyue shook her head, her expression unusual: “It is Brother Lin’s sharpest blade, used on all fronts, bringing him success everywhere.”

Two years ago, Lin Hao fully supported Yuan Keke, who had become a cripple, to rise, inherit the ‘Heavenly Order Emperor Dragon’ of the Medicine God Sect, and become the Divine Law Heavenly Girl.

Since then, Yuan Keke has also been loyal, sparing no effort in serving Lin Rui.

“The Heavenly Maiden represents the will of the Divine Law Venerable, always backing Brother Lin’s legal reforms, leaving those vested interest aristocrats helpless. In this past year, there have also been odd rumors saying the divine grace training from the Divine Law Venerable is actually divine punishment, thus slandering the Heavenly Maiden to resist her laws.”

Zhuang Mingyue suddenly sensed something and looked to the sky: “It’s Brother Lin, he’s here–”

She saw in the sky a vast demon dragon soaring over the docks.

That was none other than Lin Hao’s Eighth Realm steed, Ma Tianlong!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianchang, amidst his agitation, felt a bit uneasy.

It’s been two years since he last met Lin Hao. Seeing an old friend today naturally filled him with joy and anticipation, yet Zhang Tianchang also worried that when this rascal Lin Shi’er greeted him with ‘Little Zhang,’ how should he respond?
