Chapter 283: Chapter 265: Low-Grade Divine Artifact_i

“Trouble has come!”

Li Cheng’s eyes slightly narrowed as he stared into the distance at the darkness. With a thought, an area with a radius of one billion li suddenly lit up with firelight!

He was utilizing Laws to communicate with the heavens and the earth, illuminating all within the range of his Immortal Sense.

“Eh? Not a bad move. Why didn’t you do that earlier?” Jiang Zhipan grumbled.

The previous darkness had been a tremendous pressure to bear.

“Those eight years spent reading books at the Confucian Sect weren’t in vain!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said with a smile.

“It’s just a little trick performed with the complete mastery of Laws. Li Cheng, what trouble has come?” asked Jiang Zhipan.

Li Cheng shook his head. The moment he had illuminated the surrounding ten billion li, the trouble had already fled!

“It was the Spirit of the World; it has already run away.”

After speaking, Li Cheng continued ascending the second step.

Jiang Zhipan looked toward Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, “The Three-way Abyss has the Spirit of the World? This world is already destroyed; how can the Spirit of the World still exist?”

“I’ve been to the Three-way Abyss with Li Cheng before. The last time we came here, we also encountered the Spirit of the World, but it had lost all its Spiritual Wisdom and was acting only on instinct,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan explained.

With a pondering tone, Jiang Zhipan mused, “If that’s the case, it means that the Three-way Abyss has not been completely destroyed. At the very least, its core still exists within this darkness.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan nodded thoughtfully, “And then?”

“What are you nodding for? Next, of course, is to find it. As long as we find it, I am confident that I can discover the whereabouts of the other half of the Divine Path,” Jiang Zhipan said with absolute certainty.

A look of joy appeared in the eyes of Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, “That is indeed good news; once Li Cheng has finished this part of the Divine Path, we will go find it!”

“Hmm, just three months. It’ll be quick.”

After a pause, Jiang Zhipan added, “The oppression was too strong when everything was shrouded in darkness. Now, with all this firelight, it’s still uncomfortable. I’m going back inside the tripod. Keep an eye on things!”

Before Immortal Emperor Tianyuan could respond, Jiang Zhipan had already retreated into the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan shook his head with a smile, thinking that this was still a Heaven God-

Three months passed, and the Spirit of the World did not appear again. Li Cheng successfully stepped onto the last stairway.

Li Cheng had comprehended ten types of Laws; the Rule of Fire was complete, the Time Law was half-mastered, and there was not much progress with the others. All the Laws combined amounted to 220,900 Divine Patterns.

But the Divine Path was only halfway, so only half of the Rule of Fire had condensed into Divine Patterns while the other Laws had already fully condensed. At this moment, the Immortal Infant within held a total of 156,100 Divine Patterns of various types.

Only when a certain type of Divine Pattern reached 129,600 in number could the Immortal Infant undergo a transformation, thereby sensing the Divine Tribulation.

The most numerous, the Rule of Fire and the Time Law Divine Patterns, were both at 64,800 and not complete, insufficient to transform the Immortal Infant.

Descending from the Divine Path, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan immediately came to greet him, “What do you feel after completing this part of the Divine Path?”

Without waiting for Li Cheng to reply, Jiang Zhipan flew out from the Tripod, “He’s a demigod now. Although only half a god, he’s certainly become countless times stronger than before.”

Li Cheng smiled, “Indeed, with my current state, if I encountered the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor, I could erase him with a mere flick of my hand.”

During the initial battle with the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor, handling his Law field was extremely challenging. Now with so many Divine Patterns within the Immortal Infant, his strength had improved beyond comparison.

“Grand Venerable Bai Jie is probably in a state like mine now; it’s just unknown where he has taken those strong beings,” Li Cheng pondered.

“Elder Jiang mentioned that. Since the core part of the world still exists within the Three-way Abyss, finding that part will lead us to the whereabouts of the other half of the Divine Path,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said.

Li Cheng turned to Jiang Zhipan; if that’s the case, then what were they waiting for?

Li Cheng also wanted to see what remained after a world had been shattered.

“Perhaps Grand Venerable Bai Jie found that part of the world and learnt the whereabouts of the other half of the Divine Path. That’s why he led so many strong beings there,” as Immortal Emperor Tianyuan spoke, he looked toward Jiang Zhipan.

“Wiry look at me? Go search. The Three-way Abyss is only a few hundred billion li across, easy to comb through,” said Jiang Zhipan.

Li Cheng nodded and led the two of them, flying toward the front of the Divine Path.

Releasing his Immortal Sense, Li Cheng searched carefully.

With his Immortal Sense currently covering the surrounding ten billion li, darkness was in every direction. Any anomaly would immediately be detected.

After teleporting a few times, Li Cheng’s eyes suddenly sparkled with light, “The Spirit of the World!”

Several billion li away, the figure of the Spirit of the World appeared, but as if it sensed Li Cheng’s Immortal Sense, it quickly disappeared once more.

This time, Li Cheng caught the direction it fled and pursued without hesitation.

After chasing for a hundred billion li, a Floating Peak suddenly appeared before them!

The Floating Peak was only ten thousand li in size, but it was lush with greenery and teemed with life, home to many birds and beasts.

“I told you, let’s go up and take a look!” Jiang Zhipan said proudly.

Li Cheng flew above the Floating Peak, “Is this the only place remaining after the destruction of the Three-way Abyss? There are no formations, no Immortal Qi, only a very weak Spiritual Energy.”

The birds and beasts living here had not embarked on the path of cultivation; even the greenery was merely common plants, without Spirit Grass.

It seemed that this was what a depleted world, an End-of-law world, was like.

“Isn’t that to be expected? It’s already good enough that such a piece of the continent was left. I’m afraid this is the result of the Spirit of the World’s desperate efforts,” said Jiang Zhipan.

As he spoke, Jiang Zhipan pressed his hand down, and an image slowly emerged from the ground.

The image was hazy, and neither Li Cheng nor Immortal Emperor Tianyuan could discern its mysteries, much less know what lay within.

After a moment, the image dissipated, and Jiang Zhipan opened his eyes.

“Elder Jiang, are you alright? Your form has become somewhat ethereal!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said, concerned.
