Chapter 417: Chapter 330: Monster Divine Venerable_1
A small mountain with a faint luster approached, its two-mile-long mass drifting quietly like a ghost.
The more than ten people all had faces filled with greed, vying with each other to fly towards the small mountain.
But the closest one was Li Cheng.
This small mountain was completely composed of Divine Stones. A rough estimate put the number at several hundred million. Even the lowest quality ones on the surface of the mountain body were middle-grade Divine Stones, interspersed with some of the higher-grade, and inside, there were likely even top-grade Divine Stones!
Li Cheng was not tempted. To tell the truth, no amount of Divine Stones could compare to Ao Jiugai for Li Cheng; even a single strand of its Original Divine Qi was worth as much as this entire small mountain.
So Li Cheng had no intention to fight for it.
The Mole was excited, "What a treasure! A Divine Stone Mountain this big, inside..."
"Get lost!"
Just as he spoke, the roars of those ten or so people came over, cutting off the Mole's words.
Not only that, but all of them made their move at once, slashing out an attack each towards Li Cheng and the two Divine Beasts.
Li Cheng quickly shielded the two beasts behind him and with a push of his hand, the space in front distorted, dissolving those ten or so attacks into nothingness.
This scene caused all those people to stop in their tracks, looking at Li Cheng with astonishment and uncertainty.
Li Cheng was also sizing up these fourteen people; they were all Divine Emperors, with the highest among them having reached Complete Divine Emperor Realm.
"I had no intention of contesting for this Divine Stone Mountain. Was it really necessary for you all to attack without saying a word?" Li Cheng said.
The leader among them, a powerhouse of the Complete Divine Emperor Realm, cupped his fists in apology, "Sorry, just a misunderstanding!"
Being able to break through their collective attacks with a simple gesture, they knew Li Cheng was no ordinary individual!
Thus, as their leader, he seemed to decide to let it slide with an apology.
"Elder Lin, this person is at the initial stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, and he just used such a formidable space technique. He shouldn't be an obscure nobody, but it seems we've never seen him before," someone communicated telepathically.
"Those two Divine Beasts are not simple ones, one is the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, and the other seems to be a Treasure Hunting Rat. If we could capture them, we would definitely obtain great treasures in this Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain!"
"Right! Since this person has a Treasure Hunting Rat, he must have already found many great treasures, thus his lack of interest in this Divine Stone Mountain. Why not seize them?"
...
While those fourteen people communicated telepathically, Li Cheng's eyes narrowed because their whispers were no different from speaking right beside him.
He didn't expect that they were still coveting what he had.
It seemed a fight was inevitable!
Their exchange of thoughts took only two breaths, and they had already decided to snatch his possessions.
Elder Lin smiled, saying, "Brother, your mastery of the space technique is admirable. May I ask what your noble name is?"
"Li Cheng," Li Cheng replied calmly, waiting to see their reaction.
"Li Cheng?" The people exchanged looks, and Elder Lin's face changed slightly, voicing his suspicion, "Could it be the Dan and Artifact Supreme Li Cheng from Land Puppet Mansion?"
"Elder Lin, this is perfect! This place is cut off from the outside world, if we make a move here, Blunt Empty Mansion Venerable won't have any clue!"
"This is heaven-sent. Li Cheng must be carrying countless Divine Pills and Divine Artifacts, and if we can take over his pill and artifact inheritance, that would be a fortune!"
...
Elder Lin's eyes gleamed with avarice as he smiled, "So, it turns out to be the Great Supreme Li, famous throughout the lands. To meet you here is indeed our good fortune!"
"I dare not claim to be a 'Supreme.' Who might you be?" Li Cheng said.
Elder Lin chuckled and was about to introduce themselves, bowing with his hands clenched...
Before he could finish, Elder Lin abruptly attacked, a sword light flashing out from his sleeve, arriving in an instant!
The sword light hit Li Cheng, but curiously, Li Cheng and the two beasts shattered like a mirror!
At the same time, all fourteen of them felt a sudden tightness, as space bore down on them, compressing. Li Cheng's calm voice sounded, "You wouldn't die if you didn't court death!"
"Sorry to tell you, but your telepathic conversations are no different from speaking aloud in front of me."
With Li Cheng's words, the fourteen suddenly felt their hair stand on end—a sign of impending death!
They saw a line darker than the sky and the earth itself flash by!
The next moment, all fourteen of them felt dizzy, and then they saw each other's headless bodies!
Before their Divine Souls and Divine Children could escape, a large tripod collected their heads.
With the Divine Souls suppressed inside the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod, they could no longer resist.
As for the bodies, Li Cheng planned to let the two beasts consume them.
Just as he was about to speak up, suddenly, a few sword lights flew out from Elder Lin's sleeve.
"Such a short distance; let's see how you die!" Elder Lin's smug voice resounded.
But in the next second, he witnessed a strange scene, his attacks becoming incredibly slow, unable to reach Li Cheng!
"Interesting, others have their Divine Souls housed in their sea of consciousness, but you have placed yours in your Dantian. I was indeed careless!" Li Cheng murmured.
Seeing his sneak attack fail, Elder Lin's headless body turned without hesitation and fled!
Li Cheng casually collected the Divine Stone Mountain and the bodies and then pursued, "You won't escape!"
Without turning back, Elder Lin responded, "Li Cheng, let's both take a step back, how about we let bygones be bygones?"
"No chance!" Li Cheng couldn't be bothered with further talk.
Elder Lin then said, "Although you are an important figure under Land Puppet Mansion's protection, I belong to the Ten Thousand Gods Mountain, and in front of my power, your Mansion Venerable is negligible. If you kill me, he will be dragged down with you."
Ten Thousand Gods Mountain, a major force that has risen in the last hundred million years, is said to be no weaker than any of the Mansions.
