Chapter 943 - A Sudden Change

According to the investigation of the old guide with messy hair, at least 30 to 40 God Realm Masters had gathered in the Stone Mouth City and there were also some newly emerging young geniuses. It was hard to imagine how complicated the situation was. Otherwise, the God’s Palace would not have acquiesced in the loss of control of the military ancient city on the border.

The news about the appearance of the Immortal Artifact had spread like wildfire. Highest Elder “Heaven Derivation Performer”, the old monster from the Heaven Derivation Sect, who was famous for his divination technique on the Eastern Continent, had been invited by the God’s Palace. At the cost of his life span, he had come to the conclusion that the Immortal Artifact would appear within a month.

This news should have been kept a secret, but something happened during this time so that it was gradually leaked out. Now, everyone knew about it.

The Heaven Sound Pavilion and the Earth Sight Pavilion also indirectly confirmed the accuracy of this piece of news.

All forces were in an uproar, ready to make a move.

After listening to the reports of the two sides, Ding Hao did not say anything more. He just asked Jin Keyan to send a message to Shan Xiong. He ordered Shan Xiong to continue to stay outside the Nalan family’s residence with some people and to report the situation at any time.

After receiving a thousand top-grade mysterious crystals, the old guide with messy hair happily went out to inquire about the news again. But Ding Hao guessed that he was more likely to go to the brothel. Evil Moon, the Demon King, who had been hanging out with the old guide, did not show up. Ding Hao was a little worried that Evil Moon would be influenced by the bad habits of the old guide with messy hair.

Ding Hao did not leave the manor but only did a little exercise inside it.

He still returned to the secret training room and continued to absorb the power of the Blue Pith Jade in Stone. At the same time, he practiced the Sword Intent of the Beginning of Spring and that of Rain Water, trying to completely form these two Sword Intents in the shortest time.

The Stone Mouth City would definitely fall into chaos in a month.

At that time, powerful forces would strive for hegemony. Therefore, Ding Hao must improve his strength as soon as possible.

Six days had soon passed.

One day, a strange colorful light column suddenly rose from the Stone Mouth City and shot straight into the sky. Like a Scar of Heaven, it broke through the clouds in the void and shot into the starry universe.

The light column was extremely weird. It was a kind of power that no one had ever seen before.

In an instant, the entire Stone Mouth City witnessed this strange phenomenon.

“What is that?”

“My god! The power is so weird! Are there God Realm Masters fighting?”

“No, such fluctuation… Why does it seem to be some kind of tactical deployment? There is a weird aura spreading, as if it is about to envelop the entire Stone Mouth City!”

“Brand new power! Could it be that the Immortal Artifact has appeared?”

“The light column has disappeared… Where did it come from?”

Countless people looked up at the sky with a surprised expression on their faces. Everyone felt a strange change, as if a kind of strange power had spread between heaven and earth for a moment. Something had been changed, as if some kind of mark had been printed in their bodies.

“Where did that light column come from?”

When many people were surprised and wanted to trace the source, they found that after the light column disappeared, they couldn’t be sure from where it had burst out. The feeling was weird. Even a God Realm Master couldn’t recall exactly what happened just now as if that part of everyone’s memory had simply been erased.

What kind of magical power was that?

In the divine hall of the God’s Palace, the Eighth Divine Prince Ding Chulin stood up. In the next moment, he appeared high in the air and looked down.

“What happened? What kind of power was that?” He was surprised and bewildered.

There was still a clear trace in the sky. The previous light column had directly cut through the void like a divine sword, leaving a long-lasting trace in the sky. A horrible aura was bursting out from the dark trace in the void, almost enveloping the entire Stone Mouth City.

“Strange, what exactly was that colorful light column? Why have I never felt this kind of power before? It clearly burst out from within the Stone Mouth City. Why can’t I trace it to a more precise location?” A look of irritation appeared on Ding Chulin’s face.

The suffering of his son Ding Sha was a heavy blow to him. He killed a lot of people these days, but he still didn’t find the culprit. He found nowhere to vent his anger. Therefore, no matter what happened, he was extremely irritable.

He looked down at the surroundings and found that the void rift disappeared when it was about a thousand meters above the ground.

Ding Chulin was about to approach the void rift to observe, but at this time, his expression suddenly and greatly changed. His body shook slightly, and he looked extremely shocked.

“What’s the matter? My Qi is beginning to solidify…” This discovery made his face turn pale with fright.

The power of Qi was the foundation of masters who practiced martial arts. Even for God Realm Masters, if the Qi in their bodies began to solidify, it meant they were about to lose their strength. This phenomenon would only appear when they were in some kind of horrible suppressive tactical deployment.

“Well? So that’s how it is…”

In an ordinary brick residential house in the Stone Mouth City, a handsome young man with Purple Hair Silver Eyes, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked thoughtful.

He felt that the flow of Qi in his body gradually slowed down and his Qi seemed to be solidifying.

“It seems that it’s just as my master has predicted. The appearance of the Immortal Artifact will change the world… Haha, the competition is becoming more and more interesting.”

His smile showed that he itched for a try.

Outside the brick residential house, a hunchbacked old man was taking a catnap on a recliner in the shade of a tree. His white hair was even longer than his body, hanging down like a silver waterfall. However, when it was about one palm wide above the ground, it floated in a weird way. It was untainted by dust and was moving gently like flowing water.

“The bloody preliminary will begin, hahahaha…”

The fragmented sunlight fell on the old man’s face through the gaps between the branches and leaves. The old man smiled, and there was suddenly a strange expression on his peaceful face. There was suddenly an extremely dense bloody aura spreading.

“My Lord, the Purification Light has really appeared!” said a master among the beastmen excitedly while looking up at the sky.

On the strange bluestone altar, the exceedingly beautiful woman holding the Star Scepter stood barefoot on the mottled marks. She opened her arms and was mumbling some words. Although there was no wind, her enchanting long red hair was fluttering. The priestess of the Beast Clan, who was less than 20 years old, looked even holier and more beautiful in the robe which was as white as snow.

Masters of the Beast Clan gathered around the altar.

One of them was a tall and sturdy young beastman with thick hair and beard. He was particularly eye-catching in the crowd. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there was a faint scar from between his eyebrows to the corner of his mouth. The scar was extremely shallow. Not only did it not affect his appearance, but it also added a bit of fierceness and wild beauty to him.

The young beastman’s long hair looked like burning fire. He was holding a pale golden long rod in his hand and was standing in a heroic manner, showing an invisible momentum. Even many senior beastman masters showed fear in their eyes when they looked at this young man.

If other people were there, they would definitely recognize that the beastman of the Ape Clan, who had long fiery hair, was Little Ape King, who defeated all the young people in the Stone Mouth City during this period of time.

“Immortal fate will befall soon, and this area will be sealed by the immortal power. If we can get the Immortal Artifact, we beastmen can leave the cold place in the extreme north and return to the Eastern Continent…” The voice of the young priestess was as pleasant as a fairy bell.

She was holding the Star Scepter with both hands and her face looked holy.

Hearing her words, the beastman masters were in an uproar.

“If we can get the Immortal Artifact, we will kill all the behemoths in the northern region and make these animals pay the price…” said Little Ape King word by word. When he spoke, it was as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood had appeared in front of everyone. Everyone felt a strong killing intent and a bloody aura.

“Hahaha, this day has finally arrived!”

A figure covered in a black hoodie cloak was standing in the shadow on one side of the street. He was laughing loudly while looking up at the rift in the sky. When he slightly leaned over, a bronze grimace mask was revealed at the edge of the hoodie. The expression of the mask was crying as well as laughing. Under the mask, there was a crazy look flashing in his eyes.

No one discovered when he had appeared. He had appeared and disappeared like a specter.

At the same time, on another street that was tens of kilometers away, a young man in a white robe looked up at the strange rift in the sky in a daze. There was a trace of depression in his eyes and he sighed softly.

“This day has finally arrived. Do you know how much I don’t want to face you…” The white-robed young man sighed softly. He had a special aura, as if he were incompatible with the surrounding scenery.

“What is this?”

Ding Hao was astonished by the colorful light column.

When he came out of the secret training room and saw the huge black rift in the sky, he was extremely shocked. It was a weird force that had torn the sky apart, leaving a crack that even the power of the rules could not close. A strange power emanated from the crack and poured into the void above the Stone Mouth City.

“The power is so strange. There is a kind of terrible suppressive force…” Ding Hao’s expression changed slightly, and he felt something weird. The invisible suppressive force was becoming stronger.

“Could it be that someone has secretly activated some kind of suppressive tactical deployment?

“It doesn’t seem to be. This kind of power is not the fluctuation of the inscription tactical deployment, but more like a kind of extremely primitive power of the rules. The entire Stone Mouth City was enveloped by it. Where did that light column come from?”

Ding Hao had a bad feeling in his heart.

He found that the flame Qi and ice Qi in his body had been suppressed, but it didn’t seem to be very serious. The flow of Qi was slowing down in this process and his strength was weakening. His cultivation had been reduced to the initial stage of dual meridian one-apertured Sage Realm. Moreover, as more and more strange power was released from the rift in the sky, there were signs of further suppression.
