Regardless of whether or not Lei Ao could escape, his courage and combat prowess as a lone Saint Ruler was deeply taboo.
If Lei Ao really did run away, then the future of these people could be imagined. Every single day they would be left with fewer nightmares.
This was especially true for Chen Hua, the Chen Family's Elder. He was the one who planned the encirclement and annihilation. He didn't even hesitate to get the Old Ancestor to help him, if he was still chased away by Lei Ao.
In the future, when the divine vein truly matured, the Chen family would definitely have the first goal in their revenge.
After not being able to break through his opponent's defensive barrier for a long time, Lei Ao's heart was filled with rage. He changed his normal attack to the Great Sky Fist Art, and after over ten consecutive punches, he finally broke through the turtle shell.
At the same time, Lei Ao's attack power suddenly increased. This was a bit beyond the expectations of the Saint Ruler. Before he could form a new defense, he had no choice but to retreat a few steps and dodge Lei Ao's fist.
The fist shadows disappeared from the sky, but Lei Ao was able to push back the Saint Ruler with a single punch.
Heavens, just how strong was this kid? The thousands of people gasped in unison.
After being repelled, the previously calm Saint Ruler revealed an angry look. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to attack.
Lei Ao attacked with his fists, but his kicks still filled the sky. His speed was even faster than Lei Ao's. In just half a breath, the entire sky darkened.
Before and behind him were endless attacks. Lei Ao felt a sense of helplessness. He could only rely on the defense of the beast shield.
Dang, dang, dang, dang …
A loud sound could be heard as Lei Ao continued flying until he was knocked into a mountain. With a palm strike from the Saint Ruler, the entire mountain range was swept to the ground.
What a powerful attack, sweeping away an entire mountain range with a single move. Is this the strength of a Saint Ruler?
Lei Ao was several dozen feet deep in the ground. The shield flew out of his hand and landed in the hands of the Chen family's Saint Ruler.
Even a Saint Ruler would feel greedy at the thought of using Heavenly Energy to defend against a divine weapon.
However, before he could take a closer look, the beast shield flew off of its own accord and flew towards the large hole in the distance.
Not dead yet?! The Saint Ruler's face revealed a hint of surprise. The attack just now was at least eighty percent of one's cultivation. A Da Lou Realm cultivator would not be able to withstand it even if he had the Divine Veins, right?
Lei Ao shakily rose up from the ground. His body was badly damaged from the explosion, and many parts of his body revealed the eerie white bones.
Under the incredulous gaze of the Saint Ruler, the extremely heavy injury was being healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, his weakened aura soared once more. In just a few breaths time, a perfectly fine Lei Ao appeared in front of him.
"How did you do it?" The Divine Veins do not have the ability to self-heal. " The Saint Ruler couldn't help but ask.
To be able to withstand the attacks of a Saint Ruler and recover in such a short period of time, who would not want to possess this kind of ability? If he learned it, perhaps even Saint Rulers would be able to fight a Martial Saint.
Unfortunately, Lei Ao didn't pay any attention to him. The first thing he did after recovering was to form a hand seal and create a star chart.
"Spatial array?"
Seeing this move, the Saint Ruler immediately cried out in alarm. He did not defend at all and chose to escape instead.
What was going on? The Saint Ruler did not dare to accept?
The crowd in the distance was completely shocked. Who had ever seen someone flee like this before?
Although he wasn't trying to escape, a mighty Saint Ruler like him was actually able to evade the attack of a Da Lou Realm expert. If word of this got out, the entire God Realm would probably laugh.
At that time, the status of the Chen family would plummet.
On the stage, there weren't many people that could see the truth, and among them were the Chen Clan's elders.
Upon seeing the star map, Chen Hua's face immediately turned pale, and beads of sweat began to drip down unnaturally.
The person beside him asked curiously: "Elder Chen, what's wrong with you?"
"Spatial Array... "This is that person's move …"
At this time, a few other people also noticed the change.
In this world, what could make a Saint Ruler avoid being like a snake or a scorpion?
There were some, such as Martial Saints, but it had been a million years since a Martial Saint had appeared in the God Realm. In the current God Realm, a Saint Ruler was the strongest.
Although there was still the God Emperor above Saint Ruler, that realm had been added later on. In terms of strength, the God Emperor wasn't too far away from the Saint Ruler. In a one on one battle, the God Emperor would find it difficult to kill the Saint Ruler.
Other than Martial Saints, only the legendary forbidden gods could cause a Saint Ruler to tremble in fear.
Those people were so powerful that they could no longer be called Qi warriors. They were called gods, and had always lived in the legends.
In the God Realm, no one had ever seen these great gods before, but they truly existed.
In the ancient times, the reason why immortals appeared in the God Realm was because of a huge star map.
The owner of the star map was the legendary forbidden god. However, he only transferred the people from the Immortal World to the God Realm and didn't interfere with the upcoming Immortal Battles.
Otherwise, the God Realm wouldn't dare to launch an attack on the Immortal World.
A Saint Ruler could comprehend teleportation, a God Emperor could use Greater Teleportation, and a Sovereign could teleport multiple people.
However, even the strongest Zhi Zun could only teleport one hundred people at once. Furthermore, the range could not be too far because the spatial laws of the God Realm were suppressing it.
When the star map appeared, there were more than ten million people in the Immortal World.
Which Zhi Zun had the ability to do so? Even those heaven defying divine vein families from the ancient era were unable to compare.
When Lei Ao typed out the Five Diagram, all the people who knew about it would connect him to the legendary Forbidden God.
At this moment, Chen Hua felt so regretful that his intestines had turned green. If he had known earlier that Lei Ao had such a powerful backer, he wouldn't have stood out like this even if he was beaten to death.
Forget about the Chen Family, even the entire God Realm combined wouldn't be a match for that person in one move.
Seeing that Lei Ao was about to make a move, the Saint Ruler immediately became anxious. He shouted out, "Wait a minute, just what is your relationship with him?"
"What him?" Lei Ao was stunned. He couldn't help but slow down his hand seals.
"Where did you learn your spatial array?"
"What spatial array? This is the 5th star map."
Lei Ao was secretly surprised. It seemed that this Saint Ruler was wary of Du Xuan, but unfortunately, Lei Ao could not admit this.
Before Leng You left, he had warned her repeatedly to not reveal any information regarding her and Du Xuan before reaching the Sovereign Realm.
Before Lei Ao and the others grew up, Leng You would not interfere in any of the God Realm's matters. What she was truly worried about was the enemy that was hidden in the shadows.
If he spread the news about Du Xuan or her too early, he would definitely provoke those powerful enemies of his.
The power of those people far surpassed Lei Ao's imagination. Even though the pre-archaic Leng You was not afraid of them, his origin was damaged from that battle. Now, he only had ten percent of his strength remaining.
Unless Du Xuan appeared in the God Realm, no one could confront those people head on.
Perhaps Du Xuan's name could scare off a Saint Ruler, but Lei Ao had no choice but to give up this idea. He wanted to clarify the relationship between Du Xuan and himself, lest it lead to a misunderstanding.
"Five Diagram …" The Saint Ruler mumbled to himself as he stared at Lei Ao, trying to figure out if Lei Ao was lying.
Could it be just similar? After a while, the Saint Ruler said to Lei Ao, "Use that move again. If you really are related to that person, I'll let you leave."
"Hmph, you can keep me here for later." Lei Ao took out another star chart, but this time he deliberately erased the space aura within, causing its power to drop quite a bit.
The Saint Ruler had used a single palm to destroy the star map, so he had a plan in mind.
"Seems like you are indeed thinking too much. If you don't have any other moves, then resign yourself to your fate."
"Recognize your sister." Lei Ao flew into a rage. With the Sky Falling Fist in front and the Five Star Map behind, his attacks were unending.
"All below Saint Ruler are ants. Unless you can raise your strength to become a Saint Ruler, nothing will work."
The Saint Ruler of the Chen Clan spread out his palm, as a boundless energy emanated from it.
In a trance, Lei Ao discovered that he was in a strange space. 100 feet away was a crystal wall, and all the attacks were absorbed by the crystal wall.
"What is this?" Lei Ao was shocked.
A Saint Ruler's barrier is also a measure of a person's strength as a Saint Ruler. Inside the barrier, I'm a god. No matter how you attack, it's useless.
"Nonsense! Watch me shatter your Spirit Formation." Lei Ao angrily punched out with the Sky Falling Fist.
It was exactly the same as before. The moment the attack touched the crystal wall, it naturally dissipated, as if it had vanished into thin air.
