Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 1545 Stand Off

??"T-This bastard…!" The Garg Realm Champion stared at the scene, tearing up for some reason as his emotions were complex. There was rage, indignation, humiliation, and a sense of loss. 

??After all, the sky that they had all been aiming for was no more. Or rather, the existence of Primordial Beasts became public, making them aware that even the God King could only barely kill a Primordial Beast.

??But soon after, a God exclaimed, "The God King is on the verge of death, but he hadn't died yet. Besides, the corpse of the Primordial Beast Taotie is still there…"

??Immediately after, the sheer shock they felt at the God King's strength vanished as greed began to fill up their minds. 

??Only the Garg Realm Champion was still reeling from the effects. After all, he had fought the God King the most, thinking that he had grasped the depth of the other party's strength. 

??"But, when you put your life on the line, this is the level of strength that you can exhibit." The Garg Realm Champion closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath as he slowly bowed. "You're strong, too strong that I can never hope to reach your height." 

??His eyes then spilled out killing intent. "But now that you're on the verge of death, as the current strongest God, I'll give you an honorable death." 

??"I won't allow anyone else to lay their hand on you." Saying so, he exited the Soul Trading Hub, entering a Satellite Realm with two hundred Gods as the Garg Realm Spirit activated their Realm Ability, causing the Satellite Realm to blaze through the Greater Universe at terrifying speeds, rapidly approaching the place.

??They didn't hold back on any expense, burning through their stored reserves. They had reserves in excess these days due to the tax they were getting and hence, could afford to splurge. 

??The Garg Realm Spirit increased their Realm Ability to the limit, causing the Satellite Realm to rapidly approach the location where the God King was. 

??Heavin flowed like a specter, intending to sneak up on the God King, when suddenly, Zule grabbed hold of him, pulling him back. "What are you doing?" 

??"What else? I'm dealing him the finishing blow!" Heavin said.

??"What's the nature of the Soul Trading Hub?" Zule asked all of a sudden. 

??"It's a place to transact for the Gods in the various realms," Heavin replied subconsciously.

??"Then, shouldn't you be impartial?" Zule raised an eyebrow in response. 

??"No, that was just to get an advantage for the Kun Realm…" Heavin said in a hurry, sensing a tinge of fear budding in his heart.

??"I'm not talking about that. The tax imposed on the Soul Trading Hub and its creation is the Kun Realm's brilliance." Zule said before staring at Heavin. "But, as the source of the Soul Trading Hub, what do you think would happen when you kill the God King now?" 

??"The Kun Realm would be saved from a terrifying opponent!" Heavin said. 

??"Sure, there's that. However, you're not the one who should be doing that." Zule said in response. "Your power will allow the realms to develop the fastest. But once you take a life in this state, the Soul Trading Hub itself would become polluted. Such is the nature of your unique power." 

??"The moment you kill someone, your soul would become tainted, which would diminish the Soul Trading Hub's value. Moreover, the killing intent and memories of the God King's death would also seep into everyone that connect to the Soul Trading Hub." Zule iterated gradually. 

??"Wait, why would that happen?" Heavin retorted. "It's my power. Only I know how it works." 

??"You don't. Your power has already surpassed the Greater Universe," Zule stated in all seriousness. "You are already treading onto uncharted territory."

??Suddenly, a mysterious power grabbed hold of Heavin, constricting him as Zule's cold voice resounded. "If you continue to grow at this rate, you might cause problems for the Greater Universe. So, in order for the foundational laws of the Greater Universe to catch up to you and assimilate your power into it…"

??"You need to be sealed for some time," Zule said, causing Heavin's body to vanish. 

??"Stop! No! I came to request your help! Why are you doing this?" Heavin shouted in alarm, screaming in the end as he saw his body vanishing gradually from the feet up. "I'm from the Kun Realm! The realm you created!" 

??"I know, Heavin," Zule replied. "You might not understand it, but this is for the stability of the Greater Universe. The current you is dangerous."

??"Because whatever you do becomes the norm of Soul Cultivation after this," Zule said solemnly, watching Heavin's expression freeze up. Nodding in response, Zule continued, "If you were to take a life now, that becomes the norm for all Soul Cultivators. Maybe even newborn souls would inherit this killing intent. There are many other factors that you might affect in Soul Cultivation itself."

??"After all, you not only took the lead in Soul Cultivation but surpassed it. And at present, Soul Cultivation itself is following your footsteps." Zule sighed, watching Heavin's figure vanish. He sent Heavin into the core of the Soul Trading Hub, sealing him there for all eternity. 

??Only after the Soul Cultivation path surpassed Heavin would the seal come undone. Until then, Heavin would be trapped there for all eternity, a horrible fate for anyone to endure. 

??After he sealed up Heavin in the Soul Trading Hub, Zule watched a couple of Primordial Beasts arrive, all concealed in their human forms, undetectable to any God that might arrive. 

??Staring at them, he spoke, "I believe I have proved myself." 

??He then glared at the figure of the Kun Peng Chief that had arrived. "I believe you should keep up your end of the deal." 

??"Are you sure?" Suddenly, the Kun Peng Chief smirked as, one after another, the various Primordial Beast Chiefs appeared, surrounding Zule. "The deal was in the case you were being wholly truthful."

??"But why do I sense the aura of the Spirit Aberrant in your Kun Realm now? It has been growing pretty quickly these days."
