Chapter 1002: Secret of the Half-Gods

The Dark Soul Primogenitor was fully confident that he could trap Li Fuchen’s spirit soul in the Soul World.

But in just a blink, the Dark Soul Primogenitor was stunned. The always successful Soul World immediately dissolved when meeting Li Fuchen’s spirit soul. It was like the snow meeting the sun.

“What class is his spirit soul?”

The Dark Soul Primogenitor felt that his spirit soul had already reached the limit for lords.

“Unless?” The Dark Soul Primogenitor thought of a possibility.

Unless Li Fuchen’s spirit soul reached the level of a half-god.

It was possible as there were plenty of fated opportunities in the universe.

Did the lords and half-gods only have a difference in the cultivation realm?

With ancient life, the Dark Soul Primogenitor already knew the difference between a lord and half-god was a single half-god equipment.

After possessing a half-god equipment for a long period of time, one would be cleansed by the half-god equipment’s energy, allowing the lord to step into the realm of the half-god.

The Dark Soul Primogenitor suspected that the Perennial God must have left a half-god equipment shard for Li Fuchen. It allowed Li Fuchen’s spirit soul to step into the half-god realm first. It wasn’t possible for there to be a complete piece of half-god equipment. Back then, the Perennial Gloves had been taken by two of the strongest half-gods, therefore, it wasn’t possible for Li Fuchen to have it. If Li Fuchen possessed it, he would definitely possess the half-god energy even if it was only for a short period of time. The three of them would only be oppressed by Li Fuchen.

“Half-god equipment shard!” The Dark Soul Primogenitor’s breaths became hurried.

In the universe, there was only one place where you could obtain half-god equipment and half-god equipment shard. It was the Battlefield of God.

But the Battlefield of God was too dangerous. Even if a half-god went in, it would still be extremely dangerous. Anyone below the half-gods would meet with certain death if they entered.

Only those unparalleled lords who had lived for countless years and felt they had lived enough would choose to enter the Battlefield of God.

Of course, in order to become a half-god, there was still another method. That was to inherit a half-god equipment from a half-god.

As of now, over 90% of the half-gods became half-gods with this method.

However, due to the danger for a half-god to enter the Battlefield of God, no half-god would be so silly to willingly bestow a half-god equipment at the risk of their lives.

Normally, a half-god would also wait for countless years and form a team with other half-gods to enter the Battlefield of God.

As such, the unparalleled lords would have to continue waiting to be bestowed with the half-god equipment. Furthermore, after obtaining the second half-god equipment, the half-gods might not necessarily bestow their first half-god equipment. After all, having more half-god equipment would be even more beneficial and no one would dislike having more.

“The Soul World is just a soul dao illusion art used to confuse the spirit soul, therefore, it doesn’t have much power. I don’t believe that my Blade of Dark Soul wouldn’t be able to deal with you.” The Dark Soul Primogenitor still didn’t believe that Li Fuchen possessed a half-god spirit soul, he felt that Li Fuchen must have some soul dao cardinal artifact that could resist soul dao illusions.

An invisible black blade flew out from the Dark Soul Primogenitor’s left eye and headed for Li Fuchen.

Bang!

Before the black blade could touch Li Fuchen’s spirit soul, it shattered.

“What?!” The Dark Soul Primogenitor’s voice broke out.

“What happened?” The Darkness Lord King and Wither Wood Progenitor looked at the Dark Soul Primogenitor.

“Attack together.”

The Dark Soul Primogenitor’s expression turned ashen. There were only two possibilities now. First possibility was that Li Fuchen’s spirit soul had reached half-god level. Second possibility was that Li Fuchen had an incredible soul dao cardinal artifact.

It was fortunate that the Dark Soul Primogenitor didn’t just have the incredible soul dao secret technique, his combat strength was also at the unparalleled lord level.

Along with the two darkness creatures that the Darkness Lord King possessed, they had a total of five unparalleled lords. It should still be possible to take down Li Fuchen.

“An eye for an eye. It is your turn to witness my spiritual awareness attack secret technique.” Li Fuchen executed the Eye of Sword God on the trio.

Three invisible sword radiances appeared with the glances and thrusted at the trio’s saint spirit.

Ahhh!

The Wither Wood Progenitor let out a grunt as he bled from seven apertures.

The Darkness Lord King was slightly better, but he had a pale face too.

The only person not affected was the Dark Soul Primogenitor.

Right now, the Dark Soul Primogenitor has eliminated one of the possibilities. Li Fuchen didn’t have any soul dao cardinal artifact and his spirit soul was definitely a half-god spirit soul. Otherwise, the saint spirit wouldn’t be so powerful.

“Again!” Li Fuchen continued to execute the Eye of Sword God.

Soon enough, the Wither Wood Progenitor couldn’t withstand anymore. He might have cultivated an extreme-grade supreme rate spiritual awareness defense secret technique and low-grade soul dao defense secret technique, but Li Fuchen’s Eye of Sword God was too frequent.

“Damn it, why didn’t he use any spiritual awareness attack secret technique previously?” The Darkness Lord King was puzzled and infuriated.

“Retreat!” The Dark Soul Primogenitor had no choice but to admit that this mission was a failure.

Li Fuchen was far more terrifying than their imagination. He didn’t just have astonishing physical defense, he also had a half-god spirit soul and had nearly no weakness. Even if more than a dozen unparalleled lords worked together, they might not be able to take down Li Fuchen.

Unless, it was the top 10 lords…

However, the Dark Council only had one of the top 10 unparalleled lords in the Lord Rankings. Right now, he was exploring a ruin and would take a very long time before returning.

“It is fortunate that I cultivated the Eye of Sword God, otherwise, this will drag for a long time.” Li Fuchen said to himself after the trio left.

Li Fuchen entered the Divine Leaf City and used the Swordsmen Guild’s teleportation array to teleport to the Sword Star City. He then teleported to the Sword Radiance City from the Sword Star City. Finally, he teleported to another class 1 branch, Black Sword City.

Black Sword City was situated at the power star domain, Black Flame Star Domain. The werewolf incarnation was trapped inside one of the ruins in the Black Flame Star Domain…

…

Tower Wood Ruin was one of the lowest ranked ruins in the Black Flame Star Domain.

However, even the lowest ranked ruin would be rather dangerous for a city lord-level heaven lord.

The Tower Wood Ruin was a building that was completely white. The building was wrapped around by plenty of withered vegetation. Of course, most of the Tower Wood Ruin was hidden within the endless space-time. From outside, it wasn’t really possible to see it.

Entering the Tower Wood Ruin, Li Fuchen flew deep inside with extreme speed.

…

“Not good, there are too many Tower Wood Insects. At least 10 million… Are we going to die in the Tower Wood Ruin?”

The Tower Wood Ruin’s outer region was gigantic and had plenty of fountain gardens. There was a group of individuals trapped near a fountain and there was a layer of golden light enveloping them. Through the golden light, there was a group of individuals inside. Among the group there was only one lord and it was just a regular lord. The rest of the people were city lord-level heaven lords.

The golden light protection was emitted by a golden seal that was floating in mid-air.

“Golden Light Lord, what should we do?” One of the city lord-level heaven lords asked anxiously.

The Golden Light Lord frowned and said, “My Golden Light Seal can only last another two hours. Two hours later I will barely be able to protect myself.

These Tower Wood Insects were weak individually, only the poison from them was very corrosive. But once their numbers go up to 10,000 they would be a threat to city lord-level heaven lords. At the numbers of 1 million, they could disintegrate any city lord-level heaven lord. At the number of 10 million, even lords would be in danger.

Pfff Pfff Pfff…

Overflowing poison was sprayed on the golden light and it was visibly getting thinner.

“Extinguish!” The Golden Light Lord would blast golden lights at the Tower Wood Insects from time to time.

However, when the Tower Wood Insects were gathered, they would produce a natural layer of energy. The golden lights were only able to blast and kill a few hundred of the Tower Wood Insects.

“Husband, you better escape yourself! If you stay behind, we will all be dying.” There was a heaven lordess speaking with a bitter tone as she stood beside the Golden Light Lord.

“I will not abandon you.” The Golden Light Lord gritted his teeth.

The heaven lordess was his dao companion and they had known each other for over a few million years, therefore, they had very deep feelings.

As the golden light got thinner, the number of Tower Wood Insects increased and the Golden Light Lord was in a little despair.

He had to choose between two choices. The first choice was to continue fighting here and the second choice was to abandon these city lord-level heaven lords to escape alone. Right now, the number of Tower Wood Insects weren’t too much and with his strength, he was still able to escape.

The first choice might win him favors, but without life, what was the use of favors?

But he couldn’t abandon his dao companion and it wasn’t possible to escape along with his dao companion. After all, it was already rather difficult for him to escape by himself.

“If anyone is dying, we are all dying together!”

The Golden Light Lord decided to stay behind and face death with his dao companion. To die together with his beloved was actually a good ending.

After making the decision, he was actually more at ease.

As the golden light was as thin as a thread, everyone’s eyes were accumulating with fear. Only the Golden Light Lord and his dao companion were holding their hands and looking at each other with smiles.

“My husband, I hope I can meet you again in my next life.”

“Ning’er, I will be stronger in my next life and will not let anyone hurt you. Trust me.”

“I trust you.”

The duo made their preparations and looked up at the sky that was filled with Tower Wood Insects.

Pfff!

Right at this moment, there was a flash of sword light. The Tower Wood Insects that covered up the entire sky had been reduced by over 99%. There were only a few tens of thousands of Tower Wood Insects left behind and it wasn’t a threat anymore.

The group that was already prepared for death were all shocked and were speechless.

“That sword light earlier?”

“Incredible, a single sword light had killed tens of millions of Tower Wood Insects.”

After a moment of silence, everyone was invigorated.

“Husband?”

The heaven lordess looked at the Golden Light Lord. Among the group, only her husband was able to deduce the strength of that sword light’s owner.

The Golden Light Lord said with excitement, “It is an unparalleled lord. It is definitely an unparalleled lord.”

The Tower Wood Ruin was the lowest ranked ruin and for an unparalleled lord, there was no danger at all. It would only be troublesome at worst. Furthermore, the Golden Light Lord had once seen an unparalleled lord and the qi presence of that unparalleled lord wasn’t as powerful as this sword light.

“It will be great if I can become an unparalleled lord one day too.” The Golden Light Lord was extremely envious. He didn’t dare to think about becoming a half-god, but becoming an unparalleled lord was his ultimate dream.

“Husband, I believe you can become an unparalleled lord.” The heaven lordess encouraged.

…

Flying above the Tower Wood ruin, Li Fuchen let out a smile. To him, saving someone was just as easy as to lift his hand. These people were fortunate that he was on the way, otherwise, Li Fuchen wouldn’t come over to save him even if his spiritual awareness had detected the situation here. After all, who would save some unknown people?
