1436 Prompt Arrival

Chapter 1436 - Prompt Arrival

In the center of the Scorching Underworld, the flame poison mist was so thick that it seemed like waves surging through the world. In a certain place at the center of this dangerous place, a Divine Kingdom was hidden.

The scene within the Divine Kingdom was completely different from the scene outside. This was a land of verdant hills and clear water, thriving with life. Many simple palace halls had been constructed in this vast land.

The upper echelon members of Giant God Hall had gathered within a secret hall, isolated by an array.

"Ancient Soul Hall has already discovered our hiding place. They will probably be here soon." A Rank Nine Ancient God elder sighed.

"They still managed to find us, even though we were hiding here?" A muscular middle-aged man with the head of a bull grunted out.

Many of the upper echelon members present were also confused by this.

"Ancient Soul Hall has the backing of a mysterious faction." Seated on a raised platform, Xin Wuheng had an indifferent expression and a profound look in his eyes.

Even now, he had only spoken of the Heaven's Legacy Race to the Grand Elder. If the other members of the Giant God Race learned that Ancient Soul Hall was colluding with the 3rd ranked Heaven's Legacy Race, they would probably lose the courage to fight back at all.

One example of this was the bull-headed man. He was a half-step God Lord and the sect master of a peak four-star faction that had been recruited by the Giant God Race. If they knew of what they were facing, they presumably would not be helping the Giant God Race.

"That's right! And this faction probably isn't a simple one!" Many of the members present voiced their approval.

There was no doubt that the faction behind Ancient Soul Hall was a powerful one. Based on their intelligence reports, Ancient Soul Hall had recently been producing many high-ranked Ancient Gods and half-step God Lords. This was definitely related to the faction behind it.

But that mysterious faction apparently did not dare to act too out in the open and only supported Ancient Soul Hall with resources.

"Lord Wuheng, what should we do now?" the bull-headed man asked.

Everyone else turned to Xin Wuheng. After all, he was the Hall Master of Giant God Hall and a God Lord.

Currently, there were two paths before them. Defend or retreat!

"The Scorching Underworld is extremely dangerous terrain, so we have a greater advantage in defending this place," Xin Wuheng calmly said.

Ancient Soul Hall had already found them, so even if they retreated, they wouldn't be able to run anywhere. If they defended this place, then with their preparations and the advantage of the environment, they could put up some fight against Ancient Soul Hall.

"In addition, I've already sent a request for help to my friend. If he can bring a faction with him, he can attack from the outside and work together with us to catch Ancient Soul Hall off guard!" Xin Wuheng added.

In truth, he had no confidence in this. Logically speaking, the Spiritual Race couldn't possibly travel such a far distance to help out Giant God Hall. But by saying this, he could inspire more hope in the members of Giant God Hall.

"Okay! For now, let's send a small team of Ancient Gods to lay down an ambush in the Scorching Underworld so that we can disrupt and hinder the people of Ancient Soul Hall as much as possible!" the Grand Elder immediately ordered.

Somewhere in the Scorching Underworld:

"Disperse! Search for Giant God Hall's exact location and lock down the area!" God Lord Evil Spirit called out.

The Scorching Underworld was vast. In addition, the poisonous flame mist hindered Divine Sense and prevented one from flying at full speed.

Whoosh!

The Ancient Soul Hall team split into teams of three to four that scattered across the Scorching Underworld.

This Giant God Race is truly irritating! It has no hope but insists on fighting against Ancient Soul Hall and even chose to hide in a forbidden ground like this. What a waste of time!" A slender and graceful woman of outstanding appearance grumbled.

"Search carefully! If we discover where the Giant God Race is hiding, Ancient Soul Hall will richly reward us!" The leader, an azure-robed Rank Nine Ancient God, called out.

At this moment, a weighty energy came down.

Boom!

Three figures shot out from deep underground. Their leader was none other than Ancient God Resplendence. She led from the front, her hands firing off chilling palms of Wind energy.

The other two were Fire Dao cultivators. In this area, they could display greater strength than normal.

"Hurry and defend!" the azure-robed Ancient God called out.

He waved his hand, black Divine Power rapidly congealing into a black shield.

The other two members grimaced as they took out divine artifacts and used defensive techniques.

Boom! Bang! Crash!

The three of them working together barely managed to fend off the ambush from Giant God Hall.

"Kill!" Ancient God Resplendence roared, charging forward as she activated her Giant God Race bloodline. The power of her attacks instantly swelled as they exploded against the defenses of the three Ancient Soul Hall members.

"Get back!" the azure-robed Ancient God immediately ordered.

In this sort of environment, the Giant God Race clearly had the upper hand. Besides, their objective was to find out where Giant God Hall was located. There was no need to fight with its members to the death.

"Where are you going!?" Ancient God Resplendence flipped a hand, revealing an ancient metal array plate.

She activated the array plate and tossed it out.

Buzz! Bzzz!

Countless Heaven's Legacy Race words appeared on the plate as it exploded with Divine Power. Sixteen rays of white light shot out of the plate and instantly sealed the space around the three Ancient Soul Hall members.

"Not good! It's an array plate of the Heaven's Legacy Race!" The azure-robed Ancient God's expression darkened.

Once activated, the array plates of the Heaven's Legacy Race could instantly from a simple Heaven's Legacy array. This tool could be used by someone with only a simple understanding of Heaven's Legacy arrays.

"What a good thing! The Heaven's Legacy Race tools Lord Wuheng obtained from the Ancestral Legacy Treasury are truly too formidable!" The eyes of the two Ancient Gods accompanying Ancient God Resplendence twinkled.

Xin Wuheng had obtained a large number of items left behind by the Heaven's Legacy Race from the Light Race's Divine Kingdom, distributing them among the Giant God Hall members to bolster their strength.

"Kill!" Ancient God Resplendence led her two members charging into the array.

The members of the Ancient Soul Hall faction were almost all Soul Dao experts, so they were more suppressed than most in this area. Meanwhile, Giant God Hall had many body-refining experts who had greater resistance to the flame poison mist. In addition, Giant God Hall had been hiding in this place for some time, its members occasionally going out to cultivate in the poisonous mist, further increasing their resistance.

Within the sealing array, the parties of three on both sides had similar cultivations, but the battle was one-sided. Even so, it was still rather difficult for the three members of Giant God Hall to kill the entire enemy party.

"First kill just one of them!" Ancient God Resplendence ordered, joining together with the other two to attack the woman.

But at this moment, laughter rang out through the air. "Haha, remnants of Giant God Hall!"

"Not good! Retreat!" Ancient God Resplendence immediately took back the Heaven's Legacy array plate and prepared to retreat, in addition to sending a request for reinforcements.

But then a powerful pressure descended. A thin and repulsive elder slowly emerged from the thick crimson mist.

"How terrifying...." Ancient God Resplendence's two team members shivered in fear, unable to move a single step. "Half-step God Lord!" Ancient God Resplendence's face froze in panic.

"Elder, capture them! Then we can interrogate them for the hiding place of Giant God Hall!" The azure-robed Ancient God smiled.

"Naturally." The repulsive elder savagely smiled.

But then a relaxed and carefree voice drifted out of the mist; "Finally found it."

Whoosh!

A silver-haired man flew out of the poisonous mist and toward the group.

This person was naturally Zhao Feng. He had been deposited by Twilight Valley into the Scorching Underworld and had wasted half a day looking for the Giant God Race. Finally, he spotted Ancient God Resplendence.

"Who is it?" The repulsive elder turned in shock to Zhao Feng. As a half-step God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall, he was skilled in the Soul Dao and possessed impressive sensory capabilities, but he had not noticed anyone in the vicinity just now.

"Half-step God Lord?" The repulsive elder's eyes turned grim. If this person was a half-step God Lord, it was reasonable for him to have failed to sense his approach in this searing poison mist.

"Zhao Feng!" Ancient God Resplendence excitedly called out.

The other two Giant God Hall members had clearly joined afterward, so they did not recognize Zhao Feng and were rather confused.

But the azure-robed Ancient God's pupils constricted while his body began to shiver.

"How could this be? Why did this person appear here?!"

Fear appeared on his face. He had followed God Lord Evil Spirit in the pursuit of the Giant God Race and had borne witness to Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng working together to defeat God Lord Evil Spirit. The strength Zhao Feng had displayed at the time far exceeded that of a typical half-step God Lord.

If he remembered correctly, Zhao Feng was only Rank Nine at the time, but now, he was a half-step God Lord.

"What are you afraid of? Even if he's a half-step God Lord, we have six people on our side!" the beautiful woman disdainfully said.

The ugly elder was also rather confused.

"He's Zhao Feng! Back then, he worked together with Xin Wuheng to defeat God Lord Evil Spirit!" The azure-robed Ancient God revealed what he knew.

This caused the woman and the elder to grimace.

In order to exchange blows with a God Lord, one had to at least be a top-class half-step God Lord. Otherwise, not even when working with Xin Wuheng would one be able to defeat God Lord Evil Spirit. But this only made the repulsive elder a little warier.

If he had been told that Zhao Feng was only Rank Nine at the time, he would have taken to his heels by now.

"Zhao Feng, let's go now so that we don't draw over even more members from Ancient Soul Hall!" Ancient God Resplendence looked imploringly at Zhao Feng.

Their goal was to ambush enemies and heavily wound them while doing their utmost to avoid extended battles. If both sides were of similar levels of strength, they had to immediately flee.

"Okay." Zhao Feng had also noticed quite a few members of Ancient Soul Hall upon his arrival, but he was able to travel through the Scorching Underworld completely undetected by others.

"It's not that easy to leave!" The repulsive elder coldly snorted.

He waved his hand, releasing a gray and ghostly mist. Within this mist was a powerful Soul Beast.

But at this moment, a strange energy descended. Everything in the world instantly began to move in slow motion, even the Soul Beast.

"This... how?" The elder trembled in fear. Only now that Zhao Feng made his move did the elder realize just how dreadfully powerful the former was.

But restrained by Time Intent, he could no longer escape.

Whoosh!

Zhao Feng swiftly approached the elder and waved his palm. A powerful ball of Chaos Origin Divine Power emerged and entered the repulsive elder's body. A moment later, the elder's body shattered and distorted as it was devoured by a black hole.

At the fifth level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, Chaos Origin Divine Power received a major boost in power. Moreover, Zhao Feng was approaching the peak of Level Eight in his Time Intent.

This elder was merely an ordinary half-step God Lord. He was powerless to fight back.

"Elder...!" The other Ancient Soul Hall members could only watch as the half-step God Lord was slain. Cold sweat appeared on their backs as fear began to dominate their minds.

But they were too weak, practically rendered motionless by Zhao Feng's Time Intent.

Swoosh!

Zhao Feng swiftly converted the Chaos Origin Divine Power in his hand into a broad Chaos Origin Divine Sword, killing all five in a single swing.

"Let's go. Take me to the Giant God Race," Zhao Feng called out after doing all this.

Ancient God Resplendence and her two team members were frozen in shock, their eyes unfocused.
