Chapter 396: Chapter 319 Ten Tribulations Wuya_2

This was exactly Li Cheng’s plan, to kill these thirteen men with the force of thunder and then leave this place.

All thirteen were new entrants to the Divine King Realm, their vitality still in deficit. As Li Cheng expected, they were easily slain.

But their Divine Souls and Divine Children weren’t so easy to refine and kill. He’d deal with that after leaving this place.

Li Cheng turned back, yet his expression suddenly became solemn.

Unbeknownst to him, behind Leida now stood a burly man holding Leida’s neck with one hand, staring at Li Cheng playfully.

The burly man exuded the aura of a late-stage Divine King, his formidable life force swirling around him as he said playfully, “Hand them over!”

With the burly man’s cultivation, he could easily crush Leida to death, leaving hardly any chance for the Divine Soul or Divine Child to escape.

Li Cheng’s expression darkened slightly; he had already seen his master being taken into the Divine World by Leida.

And the scenario within the time bubble suggested that Leida’s Divine World was shattered, likely resulting in his inevitable death.

It turned out, he was the one who had harmed him.

He had thought by finding this place, he could turn things around. But instead, he had fulfilled what was shown in the time bubble.

After a moment of hesitation, Li Cheng threw out seven Divine Children, “Let him go, and I’ll hand over the remaining six.”

The seven Divine Children quickly flew behind the burly man, seeking protection.

However, the next moment, the burly man effortlessly captured and swallowed the seven Divine Children in one gulp!

“Heh heh, I didn’t expect you to kill them down to only their Divine Souls and Divine Children in a blink of an eye. You’ve really done me a great favor!” the burly man said with amusement.

If these Divine Kings still had their physical bodies, the burly man naturally wouldn’t have destroyed their physical bodies before consuming their Divine Children. But now it was different; since Li Cheng was the one who killed them, even if someone from above came to investigate, the burly man would have an excuse to defend himself.

The Demon Race has always been accustomed to devouring their kind to strengthen themselves; the law of the survival of the fittest is far more vividly demonstrated by them than the Human Tribe.

“Now, there’s no need for you to hand over the rest. I’ll kill you myself and take them, haha!”

The burly man roared with laughter, ready to crush Leida to death.

Leida summoned the power of his Divine World to make a desperate stand, striving to break free from the burly man’s grasp, but, being of late-stage Divine King cultivation, the burly man merely sneered. His vigorous power surged and followed Leida’s emerging force, bursting into Leida’s Divine World!

Leida’s pupils constricted; he could clearly see his Divine World rapidly shattering!

It was at that moment, Li Cheng fully activated the Time Law, Space Law, and Earth Rules, enveloping the burly man.

Under the influence of the Time Law, the burly man’s movement became as though frozen, extremely slow. Li Cheng formed a sword with the Space Law and slashed, severing the burly man’s arm, freeing Leida from his control.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, the sword formed by the Space Law swung, and the burly man’s head was cleanly sliced off!

In one fluid motion, Li Cheng collected the burly man’s head into the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod, and subdued his corpse within his domain, before turning to Leida.

Leida, pale as a sheet and coughing up blood, said with lingering fear, “Luckily, my Divine World didn’t carry my Divine Soul and Divine Child, or else I would have been finished!”

Saying this, Leida released Wu Ya. Though Leida had protected Wu Ya with all his strength, due to the shattering of his Divine World, the surging forces still knocked Wu Ya unconscious.

Li Cheng checked his master’s condition, saw that he was unharmed, just unconscious, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, looking at Leida somewhat in astonishment, he had thought that with the destruction of Leida’s Divine World, he would surely die, but it turned out this guy didn’t follow the usual path.

Although he wouldn’t die, the shattering of his Divine World would have a huge impact on Leida. His realm would fall, his divine body damaged, likely taking tens of thousands of years to recover.

Taking a deep breath, Leida said, “Brother Yun, have you been hiding your cultivation? A Divine King shattered so effortlessly in your hands!”

Li Cheng shook his head. “My cultivation technique is just a bit special, but I’ve inadvertently involved you, Brother Leida. Here is some Life Essence Qi I extracted; try it!”

He took out several jin of liquefied Life Essence Qi and with a wave of his hand, the liquid Qi enveloped Leida completely.

Leida was dumbfounded. Surely, the amount of Life Essence Qi that Li Cheng had extracted was astronomical!

Without hesitation, Leida quickly absorbed the Life Essence Qi.

Li Cheng did not disturb him and took his master to a distant place, where he slowly fed divine power into his master’s body, preparing to awaken him.

But suddenly, Li Cheng froze, exclaiming in disbelief, “How is this possible!”

Divine Power entered his body, and Li Cheng clearly saw that his master’s body was not that of a Loose Immortal, but a Divine Body!

Which is to say, his master had become a god!

Not only that, although his master’s Divine Power was exhausted at this moment, Li Cheng could recognize that his cultivation had definitely surpassed the Divine Emperor Realm!

Li Cheng was stunned!

When he was swept away by the time vortex years ago, his master was a Ten Tribulations Wuya!

And now he reappeared, having arrived in the Divine Realm and with a cultivation far exceeding his own, what was going on?

With doubts, Li Cheng took out a Divine Pill and placed it in his master’s mouth, circulating Divine Power to aid in its digestion.

As Divine Power surged, Wuya finally slowly came to!

Li Cheng had restored his original appearance and aura, and smiled, “Master!”

A kindly smile appeared on Wuya’s face, “Cheng’er, you’ve saved your master again. How long has it been since we last saw each other?”

Again?

Li Cheng was confused, “Over a thousand years, master. Why do you say ‘again’?”

“Your master said that? No, probably not. Either you heard wrong, or your master isn’t quite lucid yet and misspoke,” Wuya pondered, seeming to forget whether he had indeed used the word ‘again’.

Li Cheng pondered and asked, “Master, how did you end up in the Divine Realm?”

Having not seen his master for over a thousand years, Li Cheng should have been overwhelmed with joy, but at this moment, his heart was filled with doubt.

The Long River of Time spanned past and present, and his master had entered it from the Land of Chaos in the Kunlun Southern Region. Logically, he should have emerged there afterward.

But he hadn’t; he ended up in the Divine Realm, and the time he had spent traversing the Long River of Time couldn’t possibly have been long enough to go from a Ten Tribulations Wuya to at least a Divine Emperor in terms of cultivation.

There was an even more important issue—as a Ten Tribulations Loose Immortal, it was nearly impossible for his master to have survived within the time vortex!

Even if the center of the time vortex was relatively safe, the possibility was still very slim.

“Cheng’er, my mind is a bit muddled, a little unclear. Please wait!” Wuya said helplessly.

Li Cheng looked at Wuya and seriously said, “Master, are you waiting to concoct an excuse? You might as well tell me the truth. After all, to cover one lie, many more are needed.”

Wuya’s lip twitched, “How come after many years, you’re still the same?”

The time the master and student spent together was not long, but their relationship was undeniable. Wuya wouldn’t put on airs in front of Li Cheng; one could say their bond was like that of father and son.

After a pause, Wuya said helplessly, “Fine, then your master will tell you. When I was swept into the time vortex, it was you who saved me!”

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng’s eyes widened, “The future me?”

“But that’s wrong. How did master’s cultivation become that of a Divine Emperor? Or even higher?”

Wuya looked at Li Cheng with a teasing smile, “Your master is of average talent. It took ten billion years of cultivation in the Long River of Time to achieve the current Divine Venerable cultivation. It exhausted all my energy to come out. With that said, what can you figure out?”

Which is to say, the Master had already spent ten billion years in the time vortex? It had been just over a thousand years in the outside world.

Could one cultivate within the time vortex? There was no Divine Qi, so how to cultivate? Even if possible, how would one break through bottlenecks?

Could it be… that my future self protected the master and provided him with ample resources within the time vortex?

“Cough, Cheng’er, in any case, whatever your master is not allowed to say, I haven’t said it. Whatever you can think of now is all your own thoughts, not related to your master at all!” Wuya laughed.

Li Cheng looked at Wuya, “Master, you haven’t explained why you appeared in the Divine Realm. Shouldn’t you be in the Kunlun Realm?”

“I’ve told you that you saved your master!” Wuya laughed.

Li Cheng understood, “Could it be that I brought master to the Divine Realm, and then master entered the Long River of Time to cultivate on his own?”

Wuya smiled without a word, and looked around, “These Life Divine Trees haven’t changed much… huh?”

As Wuya spoke, he suddenly stood up, and a murderous intent appeared on his kind face, “They’ve turned this place into the Demon Domain! The Blood Demon Clan? Despicable!”
